The American Congress is assembling.
Arriving or already arrived are the repre¬
sentatives of all sections of this beloved
land. Let us welcome them with prayers
and benediction. A nobler group of men
never entered Washington than those who
will to-morrow take their plaees to the Sen¬

their tomiliee at th# homestead far away,
may toe blearing of the Eternal God be upon

religions circles will give the coming
months to consideration of the beet interests
of this country which God has blessed so
much in toe past that I purpose to show you
and show them, so far as I may now reach
their ear or to-morrow their eye through the
printing press, that God will be with them to
help them as in the text He filled the moun¬
tains with heln for Elisha.
As it cost England many regiments and
t4,OOQ,QOO a year to keep safely a trouble¬
some captive at 8f. Helena, so the king of
Syria sends out a whole army to capture one
minister of religion-—perhaps 50,000 men to of
take Elisha. During the night the army
Syrians came arouad the village of Dothan,
where the prophet was staying. At early
daybreak the man sorvant of Elisha rushed
in and said: “What shall we do? There Is
a whole army come to destrov you! We
must die! We must die!" Bat Elisha was
not scared a bit, for he looked np and saw
the mountains all around toll of super¬
natural forces, and he knew that if there
were 50,000 Syrians against him toere were
100,000 angels tor him and in answer to the
prophet’s prayer in behalf of his affrighted
man servant tbe young man saw it too.

Are round about Eliaha." I speak of the
upper forces ot the text that are to fight levels on

you that the mountains of our hope and
courage and faith are full ot toe horses and
chariots of divine rescue.
You will notice that the divine equipage is
always represented as a oharlot of Are.
EseUel and Isaiah and John, when they

represent it as a wheeled, a harnessed, an
upholstered conflagration. It is not a char¬
