■fttAid in London to occupy the famous
Wesley pulpit in the City Road chapel,
where he preached several times before
always receiving hearty welcomb. Thenco
he went to Ireland, prcachinp in Relfatt
and Dublin. The discourse he has sent
this week describes the' behavior of a
young man away from home and suggests
practical lessons for people of even* age
and class. The text is Daniel i, 6, “And
the king appointed them a daily provision
of the king s ment nnd of the wine which
he drank g0 nourishing them three years,
that at the end thereof they might stand
before the king."
My text opens the door of a cqllege in
J 5a by Ion nnd introduces you to a voung
student seventeen years of age, Daniel bv
name. Be not surprised if in the college
you find many hilarities. Put a hundred
young men together nnd they arc sure to
have a good time. There is no harm in

in the ediymtian
and the’grass, and the blossoms, in dull
prose. The old robin does not sit moping
in the nest beenuso of the chirpings and
the lively adventures of the llcdgclings
that have just begun to fly. Do not come
into nn orchard looking for winter apples
on a May morning.
But Daniel of our text is far from being
gay. What oppressive thoughts must
have come over him as he remembered
that he was a captive in a strange land!
J lie music that came into his study win
dow was not thq song of Zion, but the
sound of flute, snekbut nnd dulcimer in
the worship of the heathen god. More
over, he had no hope of ever getting back
home agn»i and meeting those who had
missed him long and missed him bitterly,
wondering if he were still alive nnd find
Wig many a luxury tasteless because they
did not know but Daniel might be lacking
bread.
When you nnd I were in school or col
lege and the vacation approached, we
• were full of bright anticipation, and wo
could not study the last night. The lexi
con and the philosophical apparatus were
transparent, so wo could see right through
them into the meadows and the orchards.
Not so with poor Daniel. He did not
know that he should ever escape from cap
tivity, or, escaping, he did not know but
when lie got home the loved.ones would
be dead and he would go. wandering and
weeping, among the sepulchers of his fn‘
thers. Besides that, the king tried to
to be a prodigy in personal appearance,
and so he ordered meat and wine sent
from his own table to Daniel, but Daniel
refuses all this; and puts himself upon the
humblest diet,' the poorest of all herbs,
called pulse, and plain water. His attend
ants cry out against this and tell him he
will perish under such a diet. “No,” he
says; “you try us for ten days, and if nt
the end of that time we are not full
cheeked and robust as nny it will be sur
prising.” Ten days pass along, and the
students come up for examination, and all
declare that none are so ruddy nnd robust
as Danifi and his fellow captives. The
days of industrious pupilage and the years
pass by, and the day of graduation ha*
come, nnd Daniel gets his diploma, signed
by the king and reading ns follows: “In
all matters of wisdom and understanding
that the king inquired of them he fount]
them try times better than all the ma
gicians and nstrologers that w*ere in all his
realm.” And so Daniel took the first
honor, and hero the story ends, for Daniel,
the student, hereafter will be Daniel, the
prime minister.
The next thought suggested to me by
.this subject is that young men may be
carried into captivity by their enemies.
There is a captivity more galling than the
h Daniel was transpi
in which !

orted. It
and one day they w*alce up to nnd them
selves away down in Babylon. Cyrus nfter-
ward consented that some of his captives
should return, and 60,000 of them accepted
the opportunity. But tell me what evil
habit ever consented to let a man go. Ten
plagues made Pharaoh consent to the de-
I iarturc of God’s people, but tell me what
‘haraoh of evil habit ever cheerfully con
sented to let any of its victims go. Men
talk of evil habits as though they were
light and trivial, but they are scorpion
vvnips that tear the flesh: they are spikes
more bloody than the path of a Brahman;
they .are the sepulchers in which millions
are burned alive. The young are in more
peril because they are unsuspecting. The
lions are asleep in their soul, and their
power is not suspected. The time when
a ship’s company makes mutiny is when
the watchman is off his guard. When a
spider meets a fly, it does not say, “Go
.down with me to the place where I murder
insects.” No; it says, “Come and take a
bright morning walk with me on this sus
pension bridge of glitt' *ing gossamer.”
Oh, there is a difference between the
sparkle of a serpent's eye and the crush of
its slimy folds! There is a difference be
tween the bear’s paw toving with a kid
and the crackling of the bones in the ter
rible hug. Pike's peak looks beautiful in
the distance, but ask the starved travelers
by the roadside what they think of Pike’s
peak. Are there those around whom sus
picious companions are gathering? Do
their jests and their entertainments make
the hours go blithely by when you are
with them? Have you taken a sip from
their cup of sin or gone with them in one
path of unrighteousness? Turn back.
From Babylon they came, and to Baby
lon they would carry you. If so many
plague stricken men would like to enter
your companionship before any one is al
lowed to pass into the intimacy of your
heart put on them severest quarantine.
My subject also impresses me with the
fact that early impressions are almost in
effaceable. Daniel had a Religious bring
ing up. From the good meaning of his
name I know he had pious parentage. But
as soon as he comes ISto the possession of
the king his name is changed, all his sur-
■HUP I theae
Oh, no! Daniel
started right, and he keeps on right. When
I find what Daniel is in Jerusalem I am
not surprised to find what he is in Baby-
I* wish I could write upon all parents’
hearts the fact that early impressions are
well nigh ineffaceable. When I see Jo
seph, a pious lad, in the house of his fa
ther, Jacob, I am not surprised to see him
; acting so nobly down in Egypt.
When I find Samuel, a pious lad, in the
.House of his mother, Hannah, I am not
surprised that he gives a terrible smiting
to. idolatry as soon os he comes to man
hood. \ Vivid planned the temple at Jeru
salem Vnd gathered the materials for its
buildinfe. but Solomon, the son, came anil
put up itlie structure, and that goes on in
all ages.’. The father plans the character of
the Child, and its destiny for time and
eternity, then the son completes the struc-
tUl? -a might ns well put down a founda
tion toil feet by five and cipcet to rear
on it a great cathedral os to put down
» contracted character in a child’s soul and
yet rear upon It something
grand and extensively useful.
Let me sny to those Christian
who arc doing their best in tin* Ou.ymnw
of their children: Take good heartf Youtf
sons this morning inay be far away from
you and in a distant city, but God, to
whom you dedicated them. w‘ll look after
them. The God of Daniel \.411 take care
°* , ., e , m . * a t away In Babylch. “Train up
a child in the way he slioub, go, nnd when
he is old he will not depart'from it.” Ho
mny wander away for awhii* and fall into
sin and break your heart, but before he is
done with his life, you, having commend
ed him to God, he will como back again,
for I put the emphnsis in the right placo
nnd on the word “old” when I repent tliat
passage and say, “Train up a child in the
way he should go, nnd when he is old he
will not depart from it.’f
Are you fond of pictures? Hero is ono
drawn by Solomon: “Who hath woo?
Who hath sorrow? Who hath conten
tions? Who hath babbling? Who hath
wounds without cause? They that tarry
long at the wine, they that go. to seek
mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine
when it is red, when it moveth itself aright
in the cup. At the Inst it biteth like a
serpent and stmgeth like nn adder.”
“Do you know what you are doing?”
said a mother who had broken into a res
taurant, the door locked against her, her
son inside. She came up to the counter
and saw the man of the restaurant min-
gling the intoxicating cup for her own son.
She said to the man behind tho counter,
«.S° ».^ ou ., V now w het you arc doing?”
No, said he; “I don’t.’' Says she, “You
are fattening graveyards.”
I was told at Des Moines of a train of
cars going through a very stormy night
over one of the western prairies. Tho
young man who was present told us the
story. In the night there Mas a little child
in the sleeping car fretful and worrying
nnd crying hour nfter hour. A man on the
apposite side of the car lost his patience
nnd said, “Either make that, child shut
up or take it to its mother!” Then another
man on the opposite side of the sleeping
car, a man with a broken heart, pushed
bnck the curtain nnd looked out nnd said.
, iounK man, that child’s mother is dead
m the baggage par. nnd tho little thing is
wailing for her. ’ Then the man who had
committed tho affront rose and offered his
services for the* night nnd took care of the
child until the morning, and all the pas
sengers in the car wero broken down with
emotion.
Oh, if the cry of one child could nrouso
so many sympathies, what ought to be the
effect of the ten thousand voiced shriek
of orphanage and widowhood from the ine
briates grave! God save this country
from thei perils of Btrong drink.
My subject also impresses me with tho
beauty of youthful character remaining
incorrupt away from home. If Daniel had
plunged into every wickedness of the city
of Babylon the old folks at home would
never have heard of it. If he had gono
through all tho rounds of iniquity, it would
have ehst no shadow on his early home.
Ihere were no telegraphs, there were no
railroads. But Daniel knew that God’s
eye was on him.
Tnnt was enough. There are young men
not so good away from home as at homo.
Frederick tending his father’s sheep among
the hills or thrashing rye in the barn is
different perhaps from Frederick on tho
Stock Exchange. Instead of the retiring
disposition thero is bold effrontery. In
stead of an obliging spirit there is perhaps
oppressive selfishness.
Instead of open handed charity there is
tight fisted stinginess. Instead of reason
able hours there is midnight revel. I speak
to many voung men on this matter—you
who may have left your father’s house and
others who, though still under tho par
ental roof, arc looking forward to the
time when you will go forth to conflict,
alone in this world, with its temptations
nnd its sorrows, and when you will build
up your own character. Oh, that the God
of Daniel might bo with you in Babylon I .
I think the most thrilling passage of a
young man's life is when he leaves home
to make his fortune. The novelty and the
romance of the thing may keep him from
any keen sorrow, but the old peoplo who
have seen the destruction of so many who
have started with high hope cannot help
but be nnxiouB, As long na he was in his
father’s house his waywardness was kindly
chided, and although sometimes ho thought
the restraint rather bitter and rather se
vere in his calnter moments, he acklowl-
edged it .was salutary and righteous.
Through the. influence of metropolitan
friends the fntlier has obtained a situation
for his son in the city. The comrades of
the young man come the night before his
departure to bid farewell to the adven
turer. The morning of his going away ho
walks around the place to take a last look
nt things, perhaps comes upon some ob
ject that starts a tear, some old familiar
plnce, but no one sees the tear. Tho
trunk is put upon the wagon, the young
man is off for the city. He is set down
hmid excitements and amid associates who
ore not overcareful about their words and
thoughts nnd actions. Morning comes.
No family altar. Sabbath comes. No
rural ?uiet. The sanctuary comes, but all
the faces are strange, and no ono cares
whether he comes to church or docs not
come. On his way from the store he sees
a placard announcing a rare and a vicious
amusement. He has no greeting at tho
door of the boarding house. He has no
appetite for the food. No one cares
whether he eats or does not eat. Rather
he wouid not eat. It is cheaper. After the
tea he goes into the parlor, takes up a
book, finds it dull, no sister to look over
it with him. Goes upstairs to his room
in the third story, finds it cold and unin
viting, and in despair he rushes out, caring
for nothing but to get something to make
him stop thinking. He is caught In the
first whirl of sin. He has started out on
the dark sea where the gleam of the joy
is the flashing of the pit and the laughter
is the creaking of the gate of the lost.
Oh, how many graves there are in tho
country churchyard which, if they could
speak, would tell of young men who went
off with high hopes and came back blasted
and crushed to disgrace the sepulcher of
their fathers.
And yet this exodus must go on. As
from distant hills the rivers are poured
down through tunnels to slake the thirst
of our great cities, so from distant, coun-
up i _ - . up -
thoroughfares, in every steamboat and in
every rail car will be young men going
forth to seek their fortunes in our great
towns. O Lord God of Daniel, help them
to be as faithful in Babylon as they were
at Jerusalem! Forget not, O my young
friend, in the great seaports the moral ana
religious principles inculcated by parental
solicitude, and if to-day seated id the
house of God you feel the advantage of
early Christian culture forget not those to
whom you are most indebted and pray
God that as old age comes upon them and
the shadow of death the hope of heaven
may beam through tho darkness. God for
bid that any of us through our misconduct
should bring disgrace upon a father’s name
or prove recreant to the love of a mother.
The dramatist made no exaggeration when
he exclaimed, “How sharper than a ser
pent's tooth it.is to have a thankless
child!” Oh, that .God would help you as
parents and as young people to take to
heart the lessons of this important subject,
and if we shall learn that there is danger
of being carried into captivity and that
early impressions are almost ineffaceable
and *that there is something beautiful in
Christian sobriety and that there is great
attractiveness in piety away from home,
then it will be to.you and'to me a matter
of everlasting congratulation that we con-,
sidered how Daniel behaved when he be
came a college student at Babylon.
BY MAIN STRENQTH.
What Some Slrosg Men of Mala* Han Done
la LIIIIbk.
“Who Is the strongest man In town?”
asked a correspondent at Belfast of
some workmen nt noontime. “No ono
knows,” was the reply. A farmer, a
stableman, nnd a milkman enme along
and the conversation became general.
“I am not so stout as some,” snld
Ira Flanders, “but at my work of
wheeling brick, I once took away 300
weighing 1,S00 pounds on nn ordinary
barrow, and think that I can do it
again, although It don’t do a fellow
any good.”
“Silas Beckwith,” said the milkman,
“shouldered a bnrrol of pork and car
ried it from one truck to another
about twenty yards nwny. Ho said
that he felt relieved when be put It
down.”
“Tho prentest feat of strength within
my knowledge,” said the farmer, “was
when Si Wentworth shouldered tho
700-pound anchor nnd carried it out of
.the company’ shed. Si had to step
down one step, nnd though no one
knew that ho was hurt, the jar in
jured his back, nnd he has never lifted
heavy weights since.”
. “Probably the strongest man In this
vicinity to-day," snld the stableman,
“la Alf Allis of Prospect. Alf got a
reputation for lifting up in the quarry,
nnd was pestered nearly to death by
fjooplo who wanted to get up some
kind of a trihl with him,
“So ho rigged up some straps to a
big rock that lny under his shed, nnd
llftod it with ease in tho presence of
a largo company. ’Thero is my load,*
says Alf, ’and when you bring n man
that can take her up I will try again.’
“No one has ever lifted it, nnd it is
safe to say that no ordinary man over
will, for it weighs somowhere between
1,100 nnd 1,200 pounds.”
“Speaking about feats of strength,”
said the blacksmith, “puts me in mind
of a contest we had in front of my
shop last fall. We put out a big planlc
on blocking about brendt high, and nil
the strong men up nnd down thiB streot
had a try nt lifting tho plank with a
big box of old Iron on top of it.
“Freeman Batchelder, who works in
the shop - at tlie head of the street,
came down to look on, and was in
vited to take a try, although no one
sppposed that he could budge the lond.
Well, Sir, Freeman lifted it as easy
ns nn ordinary man would have raised
the plank.
“Then two men nnd a boy got on,
nnd he lifted the lot. The interest
among the other fellows seemed to die,
out'after that, nnd thero hasn’t been
nny lifting around here since.”
Inquiry nmong tho polico force shows
that the city marshal, William H. San
born, has been and Is yet one of the
strongest men In the place. On one
occasion he was known to lift 0S5
pounds.
There linvo been frequent trials of
strength by lifting on scales. Tho con
testant stands on the scales and lifts
on a bar that is attached to a ropo
tied under the scales. Weights are
added until the limit of the competi
tor’s strength fa reached.
Welraan Hanson, a foremnn In the
shoo factory, tipped tho beam with
1,200 pounds opposed to him in a trial
fo this kind.
At the shipyard there are many
strong men, but the lifting is now done
mostly by power. Abner Jlpson, a
foymer employe there, had remarkable
strength. He could lift as much on
one end of a stick of timber a« three
or four ordinary men could on tho
other. On one occasion he lifted the
A Complleieat For Eoglaal.
One of the most important matters
claiming the attention of the English
engineering world at the present date
Is the necessity for far-renching reform
in British methods of designing con
structional iron work. Popular atten
tion was concentrated on this point by
the Atbara. Bridge incident, hut much
of what appeared of this subject in
the press at the time, was totally be
side the point. We all know the at
tempt which was made at that time to
,show that English builders had not
had fair treatment, hut the South
African campaign has shown us that
under present conditions British bridge
guilders are quite unable to compete
on equal terms with their American
competitors.
An examination of the structures
which, in certain cases, have been sent
to South Africa to replace the bridges
destroyed for military reasons is suffi
cient to show any unprejudiced obser
ver that a radical change in our
methods of bridge design Is essential
If we are to retain our fair share of the
increasing colonial demand for con
structional iron work. Germany is
supposed to be a country wkere labor
is cheap, and where,, at any rate, the
theoretical side of engineering Is well
understood; yet It remains a fact that
the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, of
East Berlin, Conn., has found it pos
sible to successfully compete with
German firms on their own soil In the
erection of factory buildings. The
material, after being nnlshed In New
England, was transported 3,000 miles
across the ocean, and was subject to
a heavy import duty. Yet ns the result
of the economies arising from the keen
competition of firms responsible both
for designs and construction, the
American firm could still undersell the
native.—London Engineering.
