the northeast georcia fair
It is now only 30 days before tl
Northeast door pi a Fair is thrown
open to the world
A NEWLY DISCOVERED WEALTH.
A new wealth has been discovered
in the the homely guise of an old
friend. Tho slippery straw beneath
our mountain pines that has so often
brought the oath to the tired hunts
man’s mouth, is about to teach amor
al lesson and confer a lasting benefit
in returning blessings for all the cur
ses it has suffered. Yesterday’s Con
stitution contains a very interesting
article in which the d'seorefy is dis
cussed at some length. It appear
that the much abused pine straw will
yet prove a friend in time of need,am.'
redeem our poor suffering farmcr-
from the tyrannous yoke of the bap
ping trust. It has been found thai
pine straw will make a bagging jus:
as durable as that of jute, and :
thorough substitute in every way
Samples of straw bagging haTe bee:
c irefully inspected and highly cn
lorsed throughout the South. If if
proves to be the success which it
promises at present, it will be a great
thing for our southern farmers. It
will break up the most cruel monop
>ly that ever flourished, and furnish
it a mininum price, an article in
every way the equal of the jute,
which has drawn from the pockets ol
iur people so much of their hard
earned savings.
May all the oppressive monopolies
which tend to impoverish our in-
lustrious people, and bring tit
wrinkles to their care-worn faces
meet with the fate that lies in store
for this nefarious trust, and may the
motto that shall fitly point to all, lie
its to tllis one “Sic semper tyrannis.”

A VETERAN POLITICIAN
Yesterday’s Constitution contains
quite an interesting interview witl
A LAUDABLE MOVEMENT-
An article in the Atlanta Journal
ot Thursday evening states that
movement is on foot in that city, to
provide a resting place for the veto
runs of the Confederate cause, who
went forth from Fulton county and
wao now reside within its limits.
The movement is a laudable one.
and deserves to bo carried into prompt
execution Many of tho veterans now
living in Atlanta are very poor, and
they not only bear upon their person
the scars of many a noblo conflict Im>-
neatb the Confederate flag, but tlieir
withered frames are blighted with tlit-
blows of many a bitter struggle, in
tight as deadly as the one in which
they fought at Manassas oratFred-
rickshurg. The remorseless strokes
of j,overly have spared not the gallant
faces that have braved the storm of
battle, nor have the sufferings of the
gallant met. grown less with the totter
ing steps of age, : nd the falling snows
f life's winter. Many of them should
they die today, would lx; buried iu
the paupers lot. How better far that
they should sleep with those they
fought, within the shadow of a shaft
that will commemorate tlieir valor
and tell positively their fame. Heaven
will surely bless the movement and
crown it richly with success.
A NEW FEDERAL DISTRICT.
A hill haa been introduced in Con-
gress to form another Federal district
in this State. There arc already two
districts in the State, the Northern
and the Southern, and the bill propos
es to divide the Northern district into
two smallei ones. The population of
die Northern portion of the State lias
ncreased so rapidly within the last
few years and the number of cases
within the jurisdiction of the Federal
■ourt become so great that no one
imirt can properly transact the bnsi-
iess that comes before it. The object
for which all courts were formed is
to dispense justice, with a fair, impar
tial manner, and to give to every in
dividual that just and honest hearing,
to which he is entitled as a freeman
and a citizen. Now onr Federal
our*' at Atlanta is so crowded with
ases brought before it, that it is sim
ply Impossible to give justice to all,
in the full and fair measure prescribed
by our laws. The bill now in Con
gress is the only proper remedy for
this evil. It proposes to divide the
listrict in such a way, that an equal
number of cases will come before the
courts of the new district, neither of
which will be so overburdenod with
work, as to impair the course of jus
tice. Non-, the dividing line drawn
by the bill, runs in such a way that
Athens will be thrown in the North
eastern district, and as a location for
the Federal court there is no
better locality in the
whole section. Easily accessible
by three railroads, in the heart of the
proposed district, offering all the ad
vantages that a healthy situation and
in enterprising people can bestow, it
is eminently the place, for tho loca
tion of the Federal Court. The opin-1
ion of our best citizens is unanimous
to the effect that the division of tho
district should be made, and Athens
offer her claims for the court. The
location of tho court in our midst
would greatly enhance the material
interests and progress of our city.
During the sessions, it would daily
bring among us the people of the dis
trict, who would spend tlieir money
with us and assist largely in promot
ing the business interests of the city,
[n a thousand ways it would be bene
ficial to our people, and as tlieir offi
cial representative, we raise our voice
in behalf of the bill, and urge that
our representative in congress, will
employ his utmost zeal to secure its
speedy and triumphant passage.

Brooklyn, Sept. SO.—Tho hymn sung
at the opening of the services in tho
Brooklyn YuUrnncle this morning was:
cities of fire, seas of fire, and it seems
as if the last conflagration had begun and
is
Hon. Joshua llill. Mr. Hill is now-
far advanced in age, and has censed
m take an active part in the political
affairs of tlu« state. There was a
time when ho was perhaps the most
prominent man in Georgia. He is
the only person who hm. ever defeat
ed Senator Brown for any office in
the state. In IS-10 lie figured promi
nently iu Harrison’s campaign as
one of tho champions of the whig
party. He was strongly opposed to
secession, ami remained a union man
throughout the controversy and
through the struggle which followed.
Mr. Hill has always been a man of
strong convictions, to which the ac
tions of his life have always preserv
ed a perfect and cor«istent harmony,
and bis old age is brightened by the
happy consolation, that he was ever
faithful to bis conceptions of duty,
and tile past has no wrongs for which
to atone.
The lumbermen are cutting down
the forests of Georgia.with great rap
idity. It is estimated that they are
clearing 200 to 400 square miles of
timber land in Georgia every year.
The Atlanta Lumber Company lias
•10,000 acres and they estimate that
they will clear it in thirty years by
cutting 100,OOO feet of lumber a day.
At the present rate it does not seem
likely that the next generation will
see ■iiiit-ii of tile pine belt of Georgia.
The French government lias replanted
forests to protect certain districts from
llooiD, as it was found after some
years of observation that the disap
pearance of the forests had been fol
lowed by greater and more concen
trated rainfall, an 1 that it rushed
down the bare hillsides so rapidly as
to cause great damage. This calls to
mind the fact that since the iron fur
naces have cleared so many thousand
acres on the mountains to the south
west the rainialls have been heavier
than ever before, and floods have
arisen in twenty-four hours, as in
1884, a shorter period than ever
brought them aliout before.
Tho rapidly returning health of the,
great Pennsylvania deuiocrrt Samuel
J. Randan, is a source of true con
gratulation. A firm and fearless
man, a staunch patriot, and a true
democrat, his death would have been
a great loss not only to the ranks of
tlie Democracy, but to the country at
large which lie lias honored by h s
service, and to every class of men
who have felt the influenee of his
great example. His return to con
gress, at the coming election Ly the
iiiiuuinioiiR vote of his people, will lie
a proper expression of the gratitude
of his people for his restoration to
health and his willingness to continue
in tlieir service.
ltrunswick is preparing to enforce
her quarantine laws at the point of
the bayonet. A force of armed men
have been thrown around the entire
city, and are kept on duty both night
and day. The condition of the city
is lietter than it ever lias Wen, but
tho fears on the part ot tho people
that it is not what it should be, to
gether with tlieir rinse proximity to
the seat of the seouge. has aroused
the people to a sense of tlieir danger,
and suggested the extreme precau
tion they have taken to secure their
safety.
Tlie main points of the Senate tar
iff lull are as follows: It is built upon
the idea of revenue reduction with
protection to American industries,
and cuts off about sixty or sixty-five
million of dollars of revenue. The
main features of the bill are free to
bacco, free alcohol for use in the arts,
and free brandies distilled from fruits,
a cut of about one-haif in the sugar
tax, and an increase of one cent per
pound on the finer grades of wools,
with a reclassification of the schedule.
Lumber and salt are left as they are
in the existing law.
GOVERNOR GORDON.
Tlie administration of General Gor
don as tlie chief executive of tlie great
eommonwealtli of Georgia, has fully
justified the confidence w hich Ins fei-
low citizens bestowed when they elec
ted him two years ago by one of tlie
largest votes ever polled in the history
of the State, .lust, honest and faith
ful in the discharge of his high office
of Governor, lie has adorned with the
finest qualities of a statesman and a
man, the gubernatorial chair, of Geor
gia, although the people of Athens, in
tlieir mistaken judgment, thought
that General Gordon was not tlie
primer candidate, and cast their vote
for Major Bacon, they never doubted
bis integrity or bis devotion to his state.
The reason of their opposition was
the financial failures in which tlie
General was concerned, and while they
admired liis valor as a soldier and his
hrillisnt record as an orator, they fear-
ed that the samcqualities which made
him brillianton the field and peerless in
tho forum, might rouse him into rash
ness and extremity of action wliich-
wouhl prove disastrous to the interests
of the State. YYe have watched his
record with tin eager interest, and day
by day as tlie wisdom of his methods
dawned upon us, we have realized our
error, am! are now prepared to say, In
a spirit of unstinted admiration; that
in honoring Gen. Gordon, tlie State
has honored her elf, and that in the
coming eh on, the comity of Clarke,
as one of he sovereign daughters of
the grand out commonwealth, will
make atonment for the past and fitly
voice her admiration for the gallant
statesmau and the golden-hearted gen
tleman.
One of tlie last essays written by
the Lite Prof. Proctor was on yellow
fever—the disease of which he died.
He thought it was comparable, in
many of its features, to the plagues
that visited ancient Athens and mod
ern London and Florence. The great
majority of persons who professed
faith usually succumbed to tho de
moralization of the hour, very few ex
hibiting the grace of which they
were believed to be possessed. Tlie
pestilence' is a revealer of insincerity
and hypocrisy. But the faith of
those who remain true shines all the
brighter because ot this.
HARRISON AS A FINANCIER.
Gen. Harrison attacked the ques-
ion of t .3 nation’s finances in a dan
gerous way for himself in a speech on
Thursday. He had a severe struggle
with the subject, and came out badly
worsted. The late Gen. Logan was
charged with saying that he had mas
tered the subject of finance after a
three days’ study. Gen. Harrison ap
pears to have given less time to it.
lie thinks it is a good bargain to buy
up government bonds now at 30 jier
cent, premium, because if they run
twenty years the government would
be compelled to pay more money than
tliis in interest This does not savor
more of tlie primer in knowledge,
however, than his statement that the
deposit of government funds in banks
is dangerous, while the liberty to ]
into tho market and affect it by t „
purchase of bonds at tho pleasure of
one man has nothing of a like objec
tionable element.
Five years ago Jackson, Crawford
mid Hull were tlie Justices of onr
supreme court. The labor was greater can ,!ani0 ’
than tlieir strength.and they died in
harness, receiving a salary scarcly as
much as the fees of a second class
lawyer. There is some ojqiosition to
increasing tlie number of supreme
court justices from three to five.
There ought not only be an increase
in <he number, but also in tlie pay of
these hard worked public servants.
It seems that Macon will yet hold
her State fair in spite of the de
cision of the Board of Directors to
nostpone it indefinently. The mayor
lias opposed the action of the Board
iu its indefinite postponement, and
his opposition has met tlie favor and
endorsement of the City Council.
The people will perhaps be heard
from in a day or two anil the question
fill be finally decided.
Tlie democrats of the 9th district
of Texas, projiose to give to the Hon',
R. Mills an unanimous election to
Congress. Instead of having a regu
lar congressional convention, they
propose to have a mass meeting of all
the citizens of the district, and make
his election a magnificant ovation.
This is a worthy tribute to a gallant
democrat, whose service has not only
honorned his native State, but confer
red dignity and lustre on the Atneri-
The present! session of Congress
has been the “most-pretending-to-do
something” sort of a session, and the
“busiest over-nothing”sortlthat ever as
sembled in the national capital. They
have been sitting now for more than
three months, and we would like to
know how many pantaloons have been
worn out in the seat* during their
deliberations.
The financial tour of Chairman
Brice in the west is said to have been
highly successful.
The report from Jacksonville this

Mr. Mills mads a great bit at East
St Louis Tuesday night when he
daid that according to the lepublicttn
tariff “bibles are a luxury and cards
is necessity. They favor free poker
and taxed religion.” As a campaig-
Mr. Milui‘ Ksperior ‘ is not

It is said that Miss Anna Dickin
son gets 6200 for every Harrison
speech she makes in Indiana. If
Harrison carries the State it will be
largely due to the championship of
this big-mouthed woman whose love
of the cause induces her to make such
a sacrifice of her native modesty.

Mount St, promises to be

who hss returned after failing to

Soo feet, and were then compelled
to abandon the enterprise. The

After expounding appropriate passages
of Scripture, tlio Rev. T. DeWittTal-
mage, D. D., too!; the text: Psalm, civ.
8: ’•'Who makclli the clouds . his
chariot.” Dr. Iklmag? said:
Brutes are constructed so as to look
down. Those earthly creatures that have
wings when they rise from the earth still
look down, and the eagle .searches for
mice ia the grass and tlie raven for car
casses in the field. Mail alone is made
to look up. To induce him to look up
God makes the sty a picture gallery, a
Dusseldorf, a Louvre, a I.-:xemhourg, a
Vatican that eclipses all tout German or
FYench or Italian art ever accomplished.
But God lias failed ro far to attract the
attention of most of us hy the scenery of
tho sky. \Ye go into raptures over
flowers in the soil, but have little or no
appreciation of the “morning glories"
that bloom on the wall of the sky at sun
rise or the dahlias in the clouds at sunset.
We are in ecstasies over a gobelin tapes
try or a bridal veil of rare fabric, or a
snowbank of exquisite curve, but see not
at all. or see without emotion, tlie bridal
veils of mist that cover tho face of tho
Catskills, or the swaying upholstery
around tho couch of the dying day, or
the snowbank of vajior piled up in the
heavens.
My text bids us lift our chin three or
four inches and open the two telescopes
which under the forehead are put on
swivel easily turned upward, and see that
the clouds are not merely uninteresting
signs of wet or dry weather, but that
they are erabioidered canopies of shade,
that they are the conservatories of the
slty, that they are thrones of pomp, that
they are crystalline bars, that they are
paintings in water color, tliat they are
tho angels of the mist, tiiat they are great
cathedrals of light with broad aisles for
angelic feet to walk through and bow at al
tars of amber and alabaster, that they are
tho mothers of the dew, that they are lad
ders for ascending and descending glories,
Cotopaxis of belching flame, Niagaras of
color, that they are the masterpieces of
tho Lord God Almighty. The clouds are
a favorite Bible simile and the sacred
writers have made much use of them.
After the deluge God hung on a cloud in
concentric liauds the colors of the spec- }
trim, saying: “I do set my bow in the
cloud.” As a mountain is sometimes en- j
tirely hidden by tlie vajiors so, says God:
“I have blotti-d out as a thick cloud
I by transgressions.” David measures
the divine goodness and found it so high
'he apostrophized: **Thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds." As some
times there are thousands of fleeces of
vapor scurrying across the heavens, so,
says Isaiah, will bo tlie converts in the
millennium “as clouds and as doves.”
As in the wet season no sooner does the
sky clear than there comes another ob
scuration, so, says Solomon, one ache or
* ailment of oid folks has no more than
gone than another pain comes ■ - as clouds
return in tho rain." A column of il
lumined cloud led the Israelites across
the wilderness. In the book of JobEliliu,
watching tlie clouds, could not under
stand why tliey did not full or why they
did not roll together,’tho laws of evapor
ation and condensation then not being
understood, and he cries out. “Dost thou
know tile balancing of the clouds?”
When I read my text it suggests to me
that tlie clouds are the Creator’s equi
page, and tlieir whirling masses aro tlie
heels, and the tongue of tlio cloud is
tho pole of the celestial vehicle, and tlie
winds are tho harnessed steeds, and God
is the royal occupant and driver “who
maketli tho clouds his chariot.”
To understand the jisalmisi's meaning
in the text you must know that the
cliariot of old was sometimes a sculptured
brilliancy mado out of ivory, sometimes
of solid silver, and rolled on two wheels
which were fastened to the axle by stout
pins, and the awful defeat of Oonomaus
by Pelops was caused by the fact tliat a
traitorous charioteer had inserted a finch
pin of wax instead of a lincli pin of icon.
All of the tix hundred chariots of Pha
raoh lost their lincli pins in the Red sea.
for the Bible says, “The Lord took off
tlieir wheels.” Look at tho long flash
of Solomon's fourteen hundred cha
riots, and tho thirty thousand cliari-
ots of tlie Philistines. If you have
ever visited the bnildings where a Uirg
or qncon keeps the coaches of state, as I
have, you know that kings and queens
Iiave great varieties of turnout. The
keeper tells you: “This is tlie state car
riage and used only on great occa
sions.’' “Tliis is the corouation car
riage, and in it the king rode on tlie day
he took the throne." “In this tlie queen
went to open parliament. ” “This is the
coach in which the czar and the sultan
rode on the occasion of their visiL" All
costly and tessellated and enriched and
emblazoned are they, and when the
driver takes the reins of tlio ten whito
horses in his hands, and amid mounted
troops and bands in fall force sound
ing the national air, tlie splendor
starts and rolls on under arches ent wined
with banners, and amid the huzza of hun
dreds of thousands of spectators the sceno
is memorable. But my text puts all such
occasions into insignificance, as it repre
sents the King of the Universe coming to
the door of his palace, and tho gilded
vapors of tho heavens rolling up to his
feet, and he. stepping in mid taking tlie
reins of the galloping winds in his hand,
starts in triumphal ride under the arches
of sapphire, and over the atmospheric
highways of opal and chrysolite, the
Clouds lib chariot.
.My hearers, do not think that God bo-
littles himself when ho takes such con
veyance. Do you know that the clouds
are among the most wondrous and ma
jestic things in tlie whole universe? Do
you know that they aro flying lakes and
rivers and oceans? God waved lib hand
over them and said: “Come up higher!”
and tliey obeyed the mandate. That
cloud instead of being, as it seems, a
small gathering of vapor a few yards
aide.aid high is really seven or eight
miles across, and is a mountain, from its
base to its fop, 15,000 feet. 18,000 feet,
20.000 feet, and put through with
ravines S,Q00 feet deep, No. David did
not make a fragile or unworthy repre
sentation of God in the text when he
spoke of tlie clouds as lib chariot. But
as I suggested iu tlie case of tut earthly
king, lie has .his morning cloud chariot
and Ids evening cloud chariot—the cloud
chariot in which he rode down to Sinai
to open tho law. and the cloud chariot hi
which he rode down to Tabor to honor
the Gospel, and tho cloud chariot in
which he wid come to judgment
When he ridel out in his morning
cliariot at this season, about 6 o'clock, he
puts golden coronets on tlio dome of
cities and silvers the rivers and outaf
the dew makes a diamond ring for the
finger of every grass blade and bids good
cheer to invalids who in the night said:
“Would God it wore morning.” From
tins morning cloud chariot be distributes
light, light for the earth and light for
the heavens, light for the land and light
for the sea, great bars of it, great
wreaths of it, great columns of it, a
world full of it. Hail him in worship
as every morning bo drives out in
his chariot of morning cloud and
cry with David: “My voice ahalt
thou bear in the morning, in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto
thee and look ap.” I rejoice in these
Scripture ejaculations: “Joy comoth in
the morning;” “My soul waiteth for thee
more than they that watch for the morn
ing;” “If l take tho wing cf tlie morn
ing;” “Tho (eyettds Of the morning,”
“The morning cgmcthf” “Who is- she
tliat looketh forth as tin morning;”
“His going forth is prepared as tho morn

kneeL Another day part, what have wo
done with it? Another day dead and
this is its gorgeous catafalques. Now b
tho time for what David called tho
“evening sacrifice,” or Daniel called the
“evening oblation.” Oh! oh! what a
cliariot mado out of evening cloud!
Havo you hung over the taffrall on the
ocean" and seen this cloudy, vehicle
roil over the pavements of a
calm summer sea, the wheels
dripping; with the magnificence?
Have you from the'top of Ben Lomond
ortho Cordilleras or the Berkshire hills
seen the day* pillowed for tho night, and
yet had no aspiration of praise and hom
age? Oh, what a rich God we hav.e that
. he can put on one eveningsky pictures that
excel Michael Angelo’s “Last Judgment”
and Ghirlandjo's “Adoration of tlio
Magi” and whole galleries of Madonnas,
and for only an hour, and then throw
them awav, and the next evening put on
tho samo'sky something that excels all
tliat the Raphaels and the Titians and tlie
Rembrandts and the Correggios and the
Leonardo da Vincis ever executed, and
then draw a curtain of mist over them
never again to bo exhibited! How rich
Uod must be to havo a new chariot of
clouds every evening!
But tlio Bible tells us that our King
also has a black chariot. “Clouds and
darkness." we are told, “are round about
him." That chariot is cloven out of
night, and that night is trouble. When
ho rides forth in that black chariot pesti-
lenco and earthquake and famine and
hurricane and woo attend him. Then
let tlio earth tremble. Then let nations
pray. Again and again ho has ridden
forth in that chariot of black clouds,
across England, and Franco, and Italy,
and Russia, and America, and over all
nations. That which men took for the
sound of cannonading at Sebastopol, at
Sedan, at Gettysburg, at Tel-el-Kebir, at
Bunker ' Kill, were only the rum
blings of the black chariot of
the Almighty. Aye, it* is the chariot of
storm cloud armed with thunderbolts, and
neither man, nor angel, nor devil, nor
earth, nor liel'l, nor heaven can resist
him. On those boulevards of blue this
chariot never turns out for anything.
Aye, no one clso drives there. Under
one wiieel of that chariot Babylon was
crushed and Baalbeck fell dead, and the
Roman empire was prostrated and At
lantis. a whole continent tiiat once con
nected Europe with America, sank clear
out of sight so that tho longest anchor
of ocean steamer cannot touch the top
of its highest mountains. The throne
of tho Cmsars was less than a pebble un
der the right wheel of this chariot, and
the Austrian despotism less than a snow
flake under tho left wheel. And over
destroyed worlds on worlds that chariot
has rolled without a jar or jolt.
This black chariot of war cloud rolled
up to the northwest of Europe in 1812
and four hundred thousand men marched
to take Moscow, but that chariot of
clouds rolled back, and only twenty-fivo
thousand out of the four hundred thou
sand troops lived to return. No great
snow storm like tliat had ever be
fore or lias ever since visited Rus
sia. Aye, the chariot of the
Lord is irresistible. There is
only one thing that; can halt or turn any
of liis chariots, and that is prayer. Again
and again it has stopped it, wheeled it
around, and tlie chariot of block clouds
under that sanctified human breath lias
blossomed into such brightness and color
that men and angels had to veil their
faces from its brightness. Mark yon, the
ancient chariot which David uses as
symbol in my text liad only two wheels,
mid tliat wa3 that they might Him
quickly, two wheels taking less tin ii
lialf the time to turn that four
wheels would havo taken. And out
Lord's chariot has only two whe.
and that means instant reversal, and in
stant help, and instant deliverance.
While the combined forces of the uni
verse in battle array could not stop his
black chariot a second or diverge it an
inch, tho driver of that chariot says,
“Call upon me in the day of trouble and
I will deliver thee,” “While they are yet
speaking I will hoar." Two wheeled
cliariot, ono wheel justice and the other
wheel mercy. Aye, they are swift
wheels. A cloud, whether it belongs to
the cirrhus,. the clouds tliat float the
highest; or belongs to the stratus, the cen
tral ranges; or to the cumulus, tho low
est ranges, 6eems to move slowly
along the sky if it moves at all.
But many of tho clouds go at a
speed tliat would seem letliargio a vesti
bule limited lightning express train, so
swift is the chariot of our God; yea,
swifter than tho storm, swifter than the
light Yet a child ten years old has been
known to reach up, mid with the hand
of prayer take the courser of that chariot
by tlie bit and slow it up, or stop it, or
turn it aside, or turn it back. The boy
Samuel stopped 1L Elijah stopped It
Ilezckiab stopped iL Daniel stopped it
Joshua stopped it Esther stopped it
Ruth stopped it Hannah stopped it
Mary stopped it. My father stopped it
My mother stopped it My sister stopped
it We have in our Sabbath schools
children who again and again and again
have stopped it
Notice that these old time chariots,
which my text uses for symbol, had
what we would call a high dash
board at the front, but were open behind.
And the king would stand at the dash
board and drive with his own hands.
And I am glad tliat He, whose chariot
the cloudy are, drives himself. Ho does
not let natural law drive, for natural law
is deaf. He does not let fate drive, for
fate is merciless. But our Father King
drives himself, and ho puts bis loving
hand on the reins of tho flying coursers,
and lie has a loving ear open to the cry
of ail who want to catch his attention.
Oh, I. am so glad that my Father
drives, and never drives too fast,
and never drives too slow, and
never drives off the precipice, and that
ho controls, by a bit that never breaks,
tho wildest and most raging circum
stances. I heard of a ship captain who
put out with his vessel with a large num
ber of passengers from Buffalo, on Lake
Erie, very early in the season and while
there was much ice. When they were
well out the captain saw to his horror
that the ice was closing in on liirn on
all sides, and he saw no way out from
destruction and death. He called into
the cabin tho passengers and all tho crew
tliat could be spared from their posts,
and told them that tlio ship must bo lost
unless God interposed, and although he
was not a Christian man ho said: “Let
us pray,” and they all knelt, asking God
to como for their deliverance. They went
back to the deck, and the man at the wheel

took in two different chariots of clouds,
and of another that he will take. One
day, in a chariot of clouds that wero a

God drove down to tho top of a terri

called Jebel-Musa, then called Mount
Sinai, and he stepped out of liis chariot
among tho split shelviuga of

“Oh.” say hundreds of you. ‘‘I wish

thing grander than that, and it will l>e a

that the chariots in which Trajan and
Diocletian and Zenobia .and Caesar and

that the judgment chariot will bo mado

bring along with him escort of ten full
regiments. Inspiration says: “Behold
the Lord coiuetli with ten thousand of liis
bainta.” But these figures simply mean
tliat there will be a great throng. And
as we shall probably through the
atonement of Christ l>o in heaven Le-
ft’io that, I hope that we can conic
down in that escort of chariot. Christ
in tlie center chariot, but chariots before
him to clear the way, and chariots be

Perhaps tho prophets and patriarchs of
the old dispensation may ride ahead,
each one charioted—Abraham and Moecs
and Ezekiel and David and Joshua, who
foretold his first coming. On either side
of tho central chariot apostles and mar
tyrs who in the Bame or approximate
centuries suffered for him—Paid, Stephen
and Ignatius and Polycarp and Justin
Martyr and multitudes who went
up in chariot of fire now coming
in chariot of cloud, while in

of our own time who have tried to serve
the Lord, ourselves I hope among them.
“Behold the Lord cometh with ten thou

changed this world will be. Its deserts
all flowers, its rocks all mossed and
lichened, its poor houses all palaces, its
sorrows all joys, its sins all virtues,
and in the same pasture field lion and

tho earth, filling all the valleys, and cok
ering all tho mountain sides, and halting
in all the cemeteries and graveyards and
over the waters deep, where the dead
sleep in coral sarcophagus. A loud blast
of tho resurrection trumpet ia given and
the bodies of tho dead rise and join the

Tho ruins of Central America are less in
