Joseph Parker, the: pastor of the City : Temple in Boston, was asked' to take the !ditor*s. chair of the London Sun, He waa liven /all liberty to print just what be wished ifl the papir or to keep out of the loiumas what in bis judgment was not jondortve to make an ideal paper. One day in'the place of the racing news which the readers of Abe Son had been accustomed to peruse he printed under the caption of “A"Novel Race Becord” a description of the race of life, and for each point made emphatic in the lives of those who. fre quent the race course and follow racing as a business he presented a passage of Serip-' tore. This was. to say the least, startling. New York 7 ** apostle raid, “When I would do good evil is present with me.” I do not for a mo ment imagine that we are guilty, any of us, of great sins, hut the existence of Tittle sins will prove the existence of a sinful nature. A famous ruby .wad;, offered .for sale to the English Government. The report of the crown • jeweler was that it was the finest he bad ever seen or heard of, but that-one-of-the/ifac«ts,”'ooe of the Tittle cuttings of the faoe, waa slightly fractured. The result waa that that almost invisible flaw reduced its ‘valde- by- thousafals o pounds, and. it waa rejected from the re galia of England.

There nro many factories, but they are small.with more skill In Individual manuthctuifefs Than there Is capital. It 1b said that capital, as wo speak of It, Is not understood there at ull. And yet a few of the more “West ernized" houses have made the break, and It Is likely that others will follow. 1 The output of the mineral products of the United States In 1000 showed a largo Increase over that of any pre vious year, and with a grand total of $1,070,108,800, according to tho Geolog ical Survey report, wo are one of tho most Important countries of the worm, both as to mineral resources and to. the variety obtained/ * The Increase in precious metals and stones was most noticeable because of the discovery of new fields for operation. While never recognised as a country rich In diamonds and other precious stones, tho United States has yielded some precious stones of considerable value. Henry Labouchere suggests in the London Truth that Cecil Rhodes should have added to each of bis scholarships already worth $1500 a year for three years apiece, a proportionable life an nuity, in order to enable the American scholars, spoiled for business by an Oxford education, to live decently and honestly. He asserts that an Oxford education Is primarily Intended to en able tho young men acquiring It to enter-the class of amateurs and Idlers. He thinks that Mr. Rhodes would have done fief tec to found scholarships for English youths to study in the United papers, ttom his uttering! in the London Snn, printed the following: A NOVEL RACE RECORD. London.—The Rev. Joseph Parker prints In the Sun to-day in place of the usual rac ing column what he calls « corrected race record, as follows: The Eternity Stakes. ; '*> The Start—Bom in ain, etc. Psalm LI.: 5. The Race—All gone out of the way, etc. Romans III.: 12. The Finiah—After death the judgment, etc. Hebrews IX.: 27. The Weighing Room—Thou are weighed l the balance* and art found wanting, laniel V.: 27. Settling Day—For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soitl. Mark VIII.: 36. This outline for a sermon has been in my mind since fitot my eyes lighted upon it, and to the great London preacher I am indebted for the suggestions of this sermon, and yet I am quite free to confess that the only reason I have chosen the, ontline, and indeed the only reason I 8 reach the sermon is that I have a great esire that those of you who are running the raco of life should lay hold upon eter nal life. It is a great mistake for men to preach withoqt giving their hearers an op portunity to confess Christ. When Mr. Moody first began his public ministry in Chicago he weht through a course of ser mons on the life of Christ, and came at last to the crucifixion, when the most pro found impression had been made. He felt as If he ought to give an invitation-, but neglected to do so. The audience was di» *»■» never to come together again, for that night the great conflagration in Chi cago was upon the city, and many of his hearers were quickly ushered into eternity, and so while I present thie novel race rec ord I present It only that you may run the raeo with Chriat. , > If I had the lime in this connection I might say some words concerning the book ■ in which the text is found. It has been said by some one that there is no part of - the Bible which more thoroughly proves; is to danger of the judgment, for God has the inspiration of the Scriptures, for no distinctly said concerning the saved, mire man could have written these wise '“There is therefore now no judgment to another has . suggested that the them that are in Christ Jesus.” This is a block that at infinite cost had been fetched from Paroi, and he refused to lay :hiael upon it. Once more, in the story of the early struggles of the elder Hersebel, while he was working out' the problem of aui got one to satisfy him. A scratch like a spider thread caused one to be rejected, ilthough it had cost him weeks of toil. .. n. The race. Romans 3: 12, “They are all gone out of the Way, they are together be- some unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” we object to the first statement, which, nevertheless,. ex perience proves to he true, we certainly cannot rotof the power of the second statement, for the apostle writes that we have all gone'away from God. When there came a. time in our lives when it was possible for ue to choose either the right or the wrong‘'we well remember that the tendency all along has been to choose the wrong, or at least to permit it, and when we remember that it is the wrong in His judgment that we are responsible for the message is a-sotemn one that we have to do with, who taught the commandments and made the look Of lust idolatry, and the feeling of murder against a brother mur der. There are two ways in wliieh men might get inti) heaven; one ia the Way that is marked with blood, “And though your sins be as scarlet they shall be a* white as snow,” and the other is the keeping of the whole law. If we could do that God will accept us, but we cannot, and we certainly know wo have not. “He that-offends in one point is guilty of all,” not that he has broken all, but in the single offense he has broken, away from God. But from the standpoint of the unregenerate man at least this statement is true, and I speak now in thC language of the unregenerate. You are not lost because of Adam’s sin, or gn inherited tendency to evil, hut’ rather because you have rejected Christ for yourself. Let us imagine a case. You. have consumption, and it has come to you from a long line of ancestry, and I went to you and know a cure for consumption, and if you will but take it ydu may bo whole (gain, and I recite to ydn' the in stances of hundreds of people who have been sick and now are well, but you re fuse the cure and die, not because you were a consumptive with an inherited tendency this disease, but because- you have re jected the cure, and men are lost because they have rejected Christ. ■ ‘ HI. The finish. Hebrews 9: 27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but af ter this the judgment.” - I never speak the Word judgment that I »m not startled, hot for myself, and when I say that I do not mean to exhibit the spirit that I am holier than thou, hut startled because of the unsaved man who «rto_ . hlrty-oue chapters in the book contain a lesson for eaon day of the mouth; and no man would find himself failing to frequent ly it he should imbibe tho wisdom of these savings. Indeed, thereto fiol a condition of lifo that is not met by the wisdom of th? , writer of this book. I might also suggest the different figures which are used in the with its dtyi of balm and nights of stonui l S* south winds blowing, deceitfully against us, - and telling of prosperity that never cornea and its hurricane which almost drives us against the rocks and to death, hut ono of the best figures is that of a race for no man walks when he races, bnt runs. He must bo desperately in earnest, and no one really makes a success of his life with- •at this same thing ia true-of him. There ft little place for the laggard to Hfo to-day. human We must run if we would «. fimsrstwtm we start there are three contestants which strive earnestly to defeat ns. The first it self—tho greatest eneity that the most of us have u self. Other men fight hattlec and rest when the victory is wod, but no- man his ever yet been able to wet in,the struggle with himself. The Bible is true, ‘Greater is he tbit ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city,” and many a man hae been ,a hero in the battlefield and made a miserable failure with his struggle with himself. The world is generally sgainst us. "Woe be unto you when all men speak well of you, and if no one op poses you it is well to stop and see where in yon may be wrong, but possibly the greatest adversary of all ia the devil, the No one can appear in judgment for Us. We must stand there for ourselves, and the thought of the judg ment will make us think when everything ; elae has been banished from our minds. "All I know of the future judgment. Or whatsoever it may be, That to standalone with my conscience, v\ ill be judgment enough for me." And he will meet his record. It will not bb necewary that the book shall be opened. The book of one’* own record will condemn; that ain of last night which no one knows.but you.and God is against you; that sin fa London which no one dreams of but yourself and your Maker has made its record, and the things that we have forgotten are standing against us. God pity us if we do not make ready for tost day, and we cannot make ready ex cept by faith in Christ and we can meet God. We have sinned against Him, we have trampled His love under our feet, we have rejected His Son, and to that day wo shall meet Him and who shall be able to stand? IV. The weighing room. Daniel S: 27, “Thou nrt weighed to the balances, and art found wanting." There is a machine to the Bank of Eng land that in a very wonderful way sifts the sovereigns. You could hardly believe it.
