The Mountain of War.
There is also the mountain of war,
tho most volcanic of ull mountains—the
Vesuvius which, not content, like the
Vesuvius of Italy, with whelming two
cities, Herculaneum and Pompeii, has
covered witli its fiory scorin thousands
of cities nnd would like to wliolm all
tho cities of both hemispheres. Give
this mountuin fall utterance, aud it
would cover up Washington and New
York and Loudon as easily as n house
holder, with his shovel at 10 o’clook at
night, banks n grate fire with asbea.
This mountnin is a pile of fortroaaes,
barricades and armories, the world'*
artillery heaped, wheels above wheel*,
columbinds above coluinbinds, 74 pouud-
ers above 74 pounders, wreoked nation*
above wrecked nations.
This mountuin of wnr is not only
loaded to cannonade tho earth, but it is
also a cemetery, holding tho corpse* of
30,000,000 slain in the wnrs of Alexan
der and Gyrus, 00,000,000 siuiu in Ro

population of tho world bad gone down
in buttlo or in hospital after battle. Ah,
this mountain of war is not like an or
dinary mountain. It is liko Kilauea,
ono of tho Sandwich Islands, which
holds the greatest volcano in all the
earth and concerning which I wrote
from tho Sandwich Islunds a few years
ago:
“What a hissing, bellowing, tum

uuquonohable fire, convolutions and
paroxysms of flamo, elements of nature
torture, torridity nnd luridily, con
gregation of dreuds, molten horrors,
sulphurous abysms, swirling mystery of

piou witch of pandemonium, campfire
of tlie armios of Diubolus, wrath of the
mountuius in full bloom, shimmering
incandescence, pyrotechnics of the plan'

But, iny friends, mightier, higher, vast
er, iiottor, moro raging is the volcanio
mountain of war. It lias been biasing
for hundrods of years, and will keep on
blazing uutil, until—but I duro not
hazurd a prophecy. Cun it be that its
fires will ever bo put out? Can it be
that its roar will ever be silenced? Can
it bo that beforo our Zerubbabol that
blazing mountain will ever become

never be brought down, ” says worldly
speculation. "The mountuin can neVer

churches. Well, let us see. Lot us look
about for the implements we can lay
our hands on. Let us count the number
on our Bide who ure willing to dig with
a shovel or bore u tunnel or blast a rook.
Let us seo if there is uny foreign help
that will come in to ro-enforoo us. I do
not want to make myself absurd by at
tempting an impossibility. If it is only
one spade at tbo foot of Mont Blanc,
if it is only one arm, capable of lifting
but a few pounds, against u mountain
that weighs 100,000,000 tons, let us
quit before wo ruuku ourselves tho trav
esty and oaricature of tbe universe
we are to undertake this job, first of all
we must bavo a competent engineer,
one who knows all about excavations
ubout embankments, about tunnels,
about mountains. I know engineers who
have oarved np mountains, ent down
mountains, removed mountains. I will
do nothing unions I kuow who is to be
our engineer. Zernbbabel led at the re
building of tbe uncient temple, and
Mutthew Henry, tho greatest of oom
meututors, declares that our Zerubbabel
is tbo Lord Jesus Christ. Tbe Zcrubba
bol of my text was only a typo of tbe
glorious and omnipotent Jeaus, and as
look up into tbe face of this divine
gineer and see it glow with ull the
splendors of tbe godhead, nnd see that
in bis arm is tho nlmigbtiuess that flung
ont all tlio worlds that glitter in tbe
midnight heavens, and that to lift the
Himuluvns would cost him no more
my own particular shovel. It cheers mo
to think that against this old mountain
of sin there aro hundred* of thousands
and millions of shovels this moment
busy, and wo nro all at work under t ho
one engineer who oatne down from bis
throne in heaven to oversee and help
the removal of thnt mountain, and who
Inis contracted to bavo it done. I have
seen the contract, und bo is well paid
for it. Tho compensation promised by
tho throne of heaven is, * 'I will give
thee the heathen for thine inheritance
und tlie uttermost parts of the earth for
thy possession,” Tbe reason so many of
us aro idle is that we wuut a bigger
shovel or we would liko to manage some
great hydraulio engine. No, brother.
Stick to yonr shovel. Dig away in your
Sabbath classes. Dig away in your mis
sion*. Dig away in your homes. Dig
uway in your pulpit*. Do tho work next
to you. Do not spend too much timo
looking at tho great size of tho moun
tains or at the way others uso their
shovels. All that you can accomplish to
ward the romoving of that mountuin
will be with your own partionlar shovel.

Mnch time ha* been lost by the faot
that many of the sharpest shovels, in

the mountain, have been used iu fight
ing each other.
Old and N«W School Shove U.
The great Presbyterian church was
mightily hindered by tho fight that for
yoars went on between old *ohool shov
el* nnd new school Rhovols, and it was
not until tho ineetiug of tho genoral as
sembly at Pittsburg 80 or 40 years ago
tbut many good men made np their
minds that shovel* are not made to fight
with, but to dig with. Mnuy of the old
theologiuus went around with bauduged
foreheuds which had not been struck by
the swords in the battle for God, but by
the shovels of ecclesiastical imbroglio.
They hud u special admiration for thut
psalm of David which said, "Blessed be
tho Lord whioh teaobeth my huuds to
wur und my fingers to fight” 80 also
tbe Mothodiat church had a battle of
shovels over tbe question* of lay dele
gations und womanly representation. I
am glad to lay that most of the ecclesi
astical pugilists in all denominations
ure dead and that they hud big fu
nerals. Bnt tbe.ro are so mauy shovel*

rupidly. It will all come down. There
are those who hear or read these words
who will gazo upon it* complete pros

of tho fuct, whioh I havo somowhat do
luyed through lawful sermonio strategy,
tbe fact tbut tbe Lord tiod Almighty,
iu the full play of his omnipotence,
will accomplish this supernal work. If
God onu build a mountain, I guess lie
cun remove a mountain. After God has
given full opportunity for tbe shovels
he will come iu with his thunderbolts

Here is a thought that I havo nover

days the machinery of tho uatnral
world wo* brought into servioe, the

muscle, kindling of flame ou lteuds of
worshipers, by instantaneous pharmacy
blasted vision given foil eyesight, and
tbe doad returned from the eternal
world, mingling amid earthly scenes,
so it will he aguiu.
Return ot the Supernatural.
As I read my Bible, these supernal
urals are to return. Again the eclipses
as at the destruction of Jerusalem, will
put red wing under the moon und black
wing under the sun, and the mountuin
will shake with ague of exoitemeiit nuu
hospital oots be emptied as their pa
tient*. bound into sudden health and
the gospel of mercy emphasized by most
tremendous spectacles. “Audi beheld
when ho had opened the sixth seal,
and, lo, there was a great earthquake
and the son became blaok a* sackcloth
of hair, aud the moon became us blood
* * * aud every mountain and island
were moved ont of their places!” Thero
you buve it. The shovels now digging
away at the mountains to be re-enforced
by thunderbolts. The gospel is only par'
tially'successful because we preach
amid all placidities, the hearers having
heard the invitation a thousand times
before and expect to bear it a thousand
times more, but (n coming times to be
preaahod amid pulverized rocks aud
stellar panics and shattered musonry
of cemeteries, from whioh the pallid
dead will spring into roseate life. I say,
then the gospel will be universally ac
seen tossing on tho ridge of tho hill,
und thon tbo flash of swords, and thou
tho long linos of mounted troops, their
horses in full gallop. And the general
says: "All is well. Hold out, my men,
a littlo longer. Let the sergeants rido
along tho lines aud cheer the men and
tell them re-enforoonionts nro coining.”
And now the rumbling of the batteries
und gun oarriuges is distinctly heard,
nml *oon they are in line, and at tho
first roar of tho newly arrived artillery
tho enemy, n littlo while beforo so jubi-
unt, full back in wild retreat, their
way strewn with cantuen.H and knap-
sucks and ammunition, that tho defeat
ed may bn unhindered iu their (light.
All BtHi'ti to the Rescue.
That is just tho way now. In this
great bnttle against sin and crime and
moral death tho enomy seem ton much
for us. Moro grogshops than churches,
moro bnd men than good men, and they
come up with bravado a.*. I ho lorco of

strength, ready to moot them, and great
ure tho discouragements, lint Htuudy,

of “him Who hath ou his vesture and

Oral Teaching of Deaf Mutes.
An interesting scientific) point has
been raised by A. Farrar, Jr. A tust for
tho pitcli of u inusicul uoto has been
provided iu tho shape of a pinch of lino
powder sprinkled over a sheet of glass.
When tho glass is struck by tho vibru-
tious of mnsioul sounds, tho parlidos of
the powder ou its surface assume ull
manner of bountiful designs, many of
them resembling branches of trees, tluw-
ers or birds, uccordiug to the noto
given. It ha* also recently boett found
possiblo to give a graphic presentation
of tho human voice by photographing
on u highly magnified scale the indenta
tion made by tho stylus of tho phouo-
gruph ou the waxen recording cylinder.
The difforenoo in voico production as
thus shown is astounding, aud uny de-
purturo from perfect smoothness of touo
is at onco seen iu tho increasing rug
ged ness of tbe indentations. It lias bouu
proposed to utilize this system of “see
ing tho voice” iu vocal schools by a reg
ular method of comparison of tho rec
ords of pupils with thosoof eminent art
ists.
The question of tho practical applica
tion of such visual reproductions in tho
oral education of tho deaf has also boett
frequently mooted, but iu neither caso
has uny useful result so far accrued. As
is well known, the speech of orully edu
cated deaf mutes is not usually so nat
ural, and hence not so easily under
stood, as that of those who hear. This
is chiefly due to tho ubsoneo of tho con
trolling action of tho heuring. If this
could be supplied by visual moans, much
might be accomplished. Mr. Farrar
suggests that physicists should tuku up
this question with a view to devising a
simple uud efficient apparatus by which
an orully taught deaf muto oould test
his speech to ascertain how far it corre
sponded in inflection, etc., with thut of
his teacher or other hearing person uud
could regulate it accordingly. Tho in
vention of such u device would confer a
great practical boon on both tho deaf
aud thoir teachers.
