''Consider (ho years of many gen erations. ’—Deuteronomy xxxii,, 7, At 13 o’clock last night, while so many good people were watching, an old frioml P* s , °t our homes ftud A stranger cn- tered. Ihe old friedd making valodictory stranger arriving is 1803. The Old friend WAs garrulous with the occur rences bf many days, but the stranger put lllk llngor over his lip and said nothing and seemed charged with many secrets and mys teries. I did not seo cither the departure or the arrival, hut was sound asleep, thinking that was for me the hast, way to bo wide awake now, Gdodby, 18021 Welcome, 189111 As an Army Is divided into brigades and regiments and companies, and they observe this order in their march and their tread is majestic, so tho time of the world’s exist ence is divided into an army divinely com manded; the eras avd the brigades, tho cen turies are the regiments, and tho years are the companies. Forward into the eternity bast, out of the eternity to cornel Forward Is tlio Command, and nothing can halt them even though tho world should die. While obeying my text, "('oustdor tho years o£ many generations,” I propose to speak o£ the “Chronology of the Bible,or God Among t>/3 Centuries.” Wo make a distinction between itlme and eternity, but time is only apiece of eternitv, and chronology lias boon ougaged in tho sublime work of dividing up this portion o£ eternity that wo call time into compart ments end putting events in their right compartment. It is as much an injustice against the past to wrongly arrange its evouts as it would bo an injustice if, through neglect of ohronologfoal accuracy, it should in the far distant future be sajd that Ameri ca was discovered in 1770, ami the Declara tion of Independence Was signed in 1403, and Washington born on tho 23d of March, and the Civil Wav of the United States was fought in 1840, As God puts all the events dt tinie in the. right place, let Us be careful that we do not • put them in the wrong place. The chron-- olOgy of tho Bible takes six stops, but they are Btops so long it makes us hol d our breath As wo watch the movement. From Adam to Abraham. From Abraham to tha exodus out of Egypt. From the exodus to tho foundation of Solomon’s temple. From the foundation of Solomon's temple to tho de struction of that temple. From the destruc tion of the temple to the roturtt from Baby lonish captivity. From Babylonish cap tivity to the birth of Christ. Chronology takes pen and pencil, and call ing astronomy and history to help say si. ‘•Let us flx one event from whloh to calcu late everything. Lot It bo a stnr, tilt Beth lehem star, the Christinas star” And from that wo go back and keu tho world was treated 4004 years boforo Christ; tho deluge, •am* 2348years before Christ; the exodus* OUt bf Egypt occurred 1401 years boforo Christ, and Solomon's temple was destroyed 580 years before Christ. Chronology enters the first chapter of Genesis and says tho day mentioned there isj , not a day of twenty-four hours, but of ages,- ’ the word there translated as "day” In other places meaning ages, and so tho Ulbte ac count of the creation aud tho geologists’ ac> something In quite another place, you gain the Victory, and infidelity has tflod to prove nn alibi by contending that evouts and eir puirtstatlees in tho Blblo ascribed to certain tjmes must havo taken place at some other time, if they took place nt all. But this book's chronology lias never boon caught nt fault. It 1ms been proved that when tho Hebrews wont into Egypt thero were only seventy of them, and that) when they came out there wero 3,01:0,000 of them. “Now,” says infidelity, with n gulTaw that It cannot suppress, "what an absurdity] llioy wont down into Egypt seventy nnd carno out 3,000,000. That is a falsehood on the face of it. Nations do not increase In that, ratio.” But, my skeptical friend, hold a moment. Tho Bible says that tho Jews wore 430 years in Egypt, and that explains the increase from seventy poi sons to 8,000 - 000, for It is no more, blit rather lesh Ilian tho ordinary.inereaso of nations. Tho Pil grim Fnthors came to America in tho May flower, ono small shipload of passongers, loss than 800 years ago, afid now wo havo a nation of 00,000,0110. Whore, then, is so eallod impossibility IjiV tho seventy Jews o',ovw2!!;. 480 years became 3,000,000 2 Infidelity wrong and Blblo chron ology right. Now stop Ami reflect.

Wo And that the Bible year was 860 days instead of 365t that the day was calculated from 6 o'clock in tho morning to 6 o'clock at night, that tho night was divided into four watches «—hiamely, the late watch, the midnight, the cock crowing, tlieea. ly watch. The olook and watch wero incited so long after the world began their mission that the clay was not very sharply divided in Bible times. Ahoz had a sundial, or a flight of stairs with a column at the top* and the shadow which that column threw on the stops benor.tli In dicated the hour, the shadow lengthening or withdrawing from step to step. P But the events of life and the events of the world moved so slowly for tho most part in Bible times thal thoy had no need of suon timepieces as we stand on oUr mantels or carry in our pockets in An ago wb6n a man may have a half dozen or a dozen engagements for one day and needs to know the exact minute for each ono of them. The earth itself in Bible times was the chief timepiece, and it turned once ou its axis and that was d day, and once around the sun and that wch a year. H was not Until the Fourteenth Century that the Almatoisc Was born, the almanac that We toss carelessly about, not realizing that it took tho accumulated iugonuiby of more than 6000 years to make one. Chron ology had to bring into its service the monu ments of Egypt and the cylinders of Assyria, and the bricks of Babylon and the pottery of Nineveh, and the metals struck at An tioch for the battle of ActiUm, nnd all the hieroglyphics that could be deciphered, and had to go Into the extremely delicate busi ness of asking the ages of Addm and Both and Enoch and Methuselah, who aftor their 300th jpear Wanted to bo thought young. 1 think it must have been in recognition Of the stupendous work of making an alma nac that all the days of tho week nro named after the gods. Hunday, after tho sun, which was of old worshiped as a god. Mon day, after Ihe moon, which was also wor shiped as a god. Tuesday, after Tuesco, the god of war. Wednesday, after Woden, the chief god of the {Scandinavians. Thursday, after Thor, tho god of thunder. Friday, after Frea, the goddess of marriage. Ami Saturday alter Batura. The old Blblo year began with the 25th of March, Not until 1752 did the fir3t of the month of January get the honor in legal documents in England of being called the ilrstday of tho year. Improvements all along havo been inado In chronology until tho calendar and the almanac, and the clock, and the watch seem to have reached perfection, and all tho Na tions of Christendom have similarity of time calculations and have adopted what is called “now style,” except Russto, which keeps what is called the “old style” and is twelvo days different, so that, writing from there, if you wish to be accurate, you date your letter January 1 and Januafy 13, or December 10 nnd December 22.

Di', llusb, tho greatest and busiest phy sichut of his day, appreciated tho value of time, and when asked how ho had boon able to gather so much information for ttle books and lectures ho replied: “I have been able to do it by economizing my tiine. I havo not spent one hour in amusement in thirty years.” And taking a bankbook from liis pocket ho said, “I All a book liko this ovory week with thoughts that Occur to me nnd facts collected In the rooms of my patients.” Napoleon appreciated the value of time when tho suu was sinking upon Waterloo; and ho thought that a little more time woiild rotrieve his foHunos, and he pointed to the sinking sun ana said, t4 Whafc would I not give to be this day possessed of the power df Joshua nnd enabled tt> retard thy march tor.two hoursl” The good old woman appreciated the value of time when at ninety-threo years of age she said, “Tho Judge of. nil the earth does not moan that l shall havo any excuse for not beiug prepared to meet Him.” Voltaire, the blatant infidel, appreciated the value of time when in his dying mo ments he said to his doctor, 4 ‘I will give you half of what l am worth If you will give me six mohths of life,” and when told tnat he could.uot live six weeks !he bm»st into tears and said, “Then 1 shall go to hellt” John Wesley appreciated tho value ol’ time when ho stood on his stops watching for a delayed cari’lago to tako him to nn appointment, saying, “I have lost ten minutes forever.” Lord Nelson appreciated tho value of time when ho said, “I owe everything in the world to boing always a quarter of an hour beforehand.” A clock maker in ono of the old English towns appreciated tho valuo 6t time when ho put on tho front of the town clock the words, “Now or wheu?” Mitchell, the as tronomer, appreciated tho value of time when ho said, “I have boeu in the habit of calculating the value of a thousandth part of a second.” That minisfcor of the Gospel did not appreciate the value of time who, during a season of illness, instead of employ ing liis time in useful reading or writing, wrote a silly religious I’omance, which in some unknown way came into tho possession of the famous Joe Smith, who introduced tho book us u divino revelation, which be came the foun tation of Mormonism, the most beastly ubotuination of all time. They best anpredato the value of time whoso Babbatns havo been wasted and whose opportunities of repentance and use fulness are all gone, and who havo nothing loft bilb memories, baleful nnd elegiac.

Matter is ;not eternal. No, no! If you watch half a day, or a whole day or two days, as I once did to soo a mili tary‘procession, you remember tho last brigade, and tho last roglmenfc, and the last company finally passed on, ana as we rose to go wo said to oacll othor, “Ic is all over.” So this mighty procession of earthly yoars will terminate. Just when I have no power to prognosticate, but science confirms tho Biblo prophecy that tho earth cannot always laftt. indeed there has been a fatality of worlds. ' Tho moon is merely the oorp3e of what it once was, and scientists have again an 1 again gone up in their observatories to atto.id the deathbed of dying worlds, and imve soon them ei’etnatod.

Chemistry teaches us that there is a very inflammable element in water. While oxy gen makes up a part of the water, the other part of tho water is hydrogen, and that is vary combustible, The oxygon drawn out from the water, tho inflammable hydrogen will put instantly into conflagration the Hudsons and Bnvannalu and Mississippi and Rhinos and Urals and Dnnubes, and Atlantic nnd Bueiflc and Iudian and Mediterranean seas. And then the angel of God, de scending from tho throne, might put oxe foot on tho surf of tho noa and the other on tho boaoh and cry to the four winds of heaven, “Time was, but time shall bo no longer 1’* Yet, found in Christ, pardoned and sanctified, wo shall welcome tho day with more gladness than .you ever wel comed a Christmas or Now Your’s morn* A good deal of cleaning house will bo necessary beforo this world becomes as (dean and sweet as is ought to be, but tho brooms and the scrubbing brushes, and tho upholsterers and plumbers are already busy, and when tho world gets fixed Up, ns it Will be, if Adam mid Ere over visit it, as I ox- peefc they will, thoy will say to each other, “Well, this beats paradise when wo lived there, aud tho pears and plums are better than wo plucked from the first trees, and Jilio wardrobes are inoro complete and tho climate is better.” Wince I settled in my own mind tho fact that God was stronger than tho devil I have never lost faith in tho emparadisation of this planet. With tlio exception of a retro gression in tho Dark Ages, tho niovomeut of the world has l»3en on and on, and up and the centuries, the decades the yeer^thi months, the days, the hours, tho seconds. Think of making appointmonts as in the Bible days for the time of tho new moon. Think of making one of the watc hes of the light in Bible times a rooster crowing. The <Hblo says: “Beforo tho cock crow thou £ialt deny me thrice,'* “If the Master com- •th at the cockcrowing,” and that was the f ay the midnight watch was indicated. he crowing of that barnyard bird has al ways been ino3t uncertain. The crowing is ftt. the lowest temperature of the night, and Ihe amount of dew and tho direction of the erind may bring the lowest temperature at 11 o’clock at night or 2 o’clock ia the moru- and at any one of six hours. Just be fore a rain the crowing of chanticleer in the night is almost perpetual. Compare these modes of marking time with our modes of marking time, when VI o’clock is 12 o’clock, and 0 o’clock is 6 o’clock, and 10 o’clock is 10 o’clock, and in dependent of all weathers, aud then thank God that you live now. But notwithstand ing all the imperfect modes of marking hours or years or centuries Bible chronol ogy never trips up, never falters, never con tradicts itself, and here is one of tbeba-.t ar guments for the authenticity of the Scrip tures. If you can prove an alibi in tho court*, ami you can prove beyond doubt that you were in some particular place at tho time uew year. But the other thought coming out of this subject is that Biblical chronology, and in- dee 1 all chronology, is urging the world to more punctuality and immeiliateneKs. What an unsatisfactory and indefinite thing it must have been for two business men in tho time of Ahaz to make an appointment, say ing, “Wo will settle that business matter to morrow when tho shadow on the dial of Ahaz reaches tho tenth step from tho ton,” or “J will meet you in the street called Straight In Damascus in the time d£ the new moon,” or when asked in a courtroom what time an occurronco took place sho uld answer, “it was during th6 time of the latter rain,” or “it was at tiie time of the third crowing of the barnyard!” You and I remember whan ministers of tha Gospel lathe country, giving out a no* tice of an evening service, instead of saying k, would say. “Tho ser vice will begin at early candlo light.” Thank God for chronological achievcnunts which havo ushered in calendars and al manacs and clocks and watches, and at so cheap a rate all may.possess them! Chron ology, beginning by appreciating tho v.iluo of yours and tho value of days, has kept on until it crioi outi “Man, immortal; woman, immortal; lookout lor that minute; look out for that second I” We talk a great deal about the valuo of time, but will never fully appreciate its valuo until the last fragment of it has passe 1 out of our possession, forever. Tho greatest fraud a man can commit is to rob another of his time. Hear it, ye laggards and re pent 1 All the fingers of chronology point to punctuality as ono of the graces. “ i_ Thou, undismayed, shalt o'or tho ruin smllo Ami light tby torch at nature’s funeral pile. Nobc anil Throat. In a recent lecture before the Chem ists’ Assistants’ Association, London, by William Hill, M.D.j London, tho throat was described in detail; and tho pharynx and tho larynx pointed out as the two most important pnrta. The nose has a very important connection with the throat and its disorders. It contains a scries of bones called tho turbinated bones, which expose a large surface ot warm blood, and cause tho air inhaled to bo warmed ready for tho lungs; more over, the cilia of the noso cause tho so up, and 1 havo two jubilant hosannas—one ,/ . for the closing year and tho other for tht crotion to move and reject the solid, par ticles it has collected. Tho noso is tho proper organ for breathing, not tho § __ w Tho min ister or the lecturer or business man who comes to his place ten minutes after tho ap pointed time commits a crime the enormity of which can only be estimated by multiply* lug the number of persons present by ten. If the engagement be made with flvo per son?, lie ims stoleu fifty minutes, for ho is ton minutes too late, and he has robbed each of tho live persons of ten minutes apiece, and ten times five are fifty. ir there bo 500 persons present and lie bo j ten minutes too Jute, ho has committed a j robbery of 5000 minute*, for ten time 50 > S are 500p, and 5000 minutes are eighty-three lieu, s, which make more than three day?. | mouth. Tho laryux, which is tho air passage* is bounded at its upper ex tremity by tlio vocal cords, aud has, therefore, the double functiou of breath ing and phonation. The epiglottis, by altering its form, causes tlio food to pass down the pharynx, and keeps it from the larynx. In .speaking of proper breathing, tho author pointed out that diaphragmatic breathing was tho proper method, and not clavicular. It was re ported that Rubini bad broken his clavicle during singing, by persisting in this method of breathing. Throat dis eases are often caused by germs, by in halation of sewer gas, etc. Fortunately, there are other organisms in the *throat always ready to attack those germs. The throat was well provided with tonsils, both faucial and lingual. The tonsils produce phagocytes or leucocytes, amoe boid corpuscles which actually swallow up the germs. Why, then, should ton sils be cut out? Because, when they be come enlarged and horny, they lose this function, and by removing tho horny surface, the newly exposed portion can go on producing tho corpuscles. The decay of teeth is largely duo to germs. This shows tho importance of keeping tho teeth in order. Obstruction in the nose is the cause of many throat dis orders. People liable to throat disorders should bo very chary of eating piquant or hot dishes. Irritating remedies, too, such as cayenne and (except in special | cases) tannin lozenges or nitrate of all— | ver, should be avoided. Hot tea, too, ! is bad.—Scientific American.
