covery of tho oiltside; but the discovery of
yourself. No man kno\V3 himself until he
is40. He overestimates or underestimates
himself. By that time ho has learned wlmt
ue can do or what ho cannot do. lie thought
he had OdtUmercial genio* enough to become
a millionaire;but now ho'is satisfied to make
a comfortable living. He thought ho had
rhetorical power that woul l bring him into
the United States senate, now ho is content
if ho can successfully argue a common case
before a petit jury.
Ho thought he had medical skill that
would make htm a Mott or a Grosso or a
Willard Fai'ker ora Sims? naif he flu is his
sphere is Unit df d family ^hysiciaU; pro
scribing for the ordinary ailments that af
flict our race. He was silling on iu a fog
and could not take a reckoning, but now it
clears up enough to allow him to And out his
real latitude and longitude. Ho has been
climbing, but now ho lias got to tho top of
tho hill, and ho takes a long breath. Ho is
half way through the journey at least, and
ho is in a position to look backward or for
ward. He has more good sense than he ever
had. Ho knows human nature, l’or he has
boen cheated often enough to an the bad
side of its and lie has Met so many gracious
and kindly and spleudl 1 souls ho also knows
the good sido of it%
Now ea m yoursjlf. Thank God for tho
past mid deliberately 8<*t your dontpAs* for
another voyage. You have chased enough
thistledown. You lmVo blown enough soap
bubbles. You have scon tho unsatisfying
nature of all earthly things. Upon a n nv
chapter with God an l the world. This da-
cado o.’the forties ought to eclipse all its
predecessors in worship, in usefulness an 1 in
lnp hue s. “Forty” is a great word in tho
Biule. Go 1’s ancient people were 4 ) yean
in tho wil ierness. Ell judged Israel 40
year?. David and Solomon and Jehoash
ivi.gned 40 years. Waen Joseph visited his
broMie»t ho was 40 years old.
Oh, this mountain top of the fortiesi You
have now the character you will probably
..ave for all time artd all eternity. God, by
His grace* EO.uetinles changes a mail after
the forties, but after that a man never
changes hiniself, Tell me, oil men and
w >men who are in the forties, your habits
of thought an l life, and I will tell you what
voii will forever be. I May make a mistake
once in a thousand times, blit not more than
in that proportion.
My sermon next accosts tho fifties. How
queer it looks when In writ- t your ago you
make the flr.sb of the two figures a “5.”
ihia is tho decade which shows what tho
other decades have been. If a young man
lias sown wild oats and ho has lived to this
time, ho reaps the harvest of ifc in tha fifties,
or if by necessity ho was Qouipolle l to over
toil in honest; directions he is civile l to settle

ure In the fifties, think of it! A half century
of blessing to be thankful for, an 1 it half
century subtracted from an oXistonce
which in the most marko 1 cases of longevity
Imrdly ever roaches a whole century .
By this time you ought to bo eminent for
piety. You have been in ho many battles
you ought to bu a brave soldier. You have
made so many voyages you ought to be a
good Bailor. Bo long protected and blessed

in Biblo times in Canaan every 60years was
by God’s command u year of jubilee. The
people did not work that year. If property
ha I by misfortune gone out of one’r. posses
sion on the fiftieth year it came back to him.
If ho had fooled it away, it was returned
without a farthing to pay.
Jf a man had been enslaved, ho was in that
year emancipated, A trumpet was sounded
loud and clear an l long, and it was the
trumpet of jubilee. They shook bauds, they
laughed, they congratulated. Wimt a time
it w/i.s, that fiftieth yoarl And if under the
old dispensation it was such a glad time,
under our new and moro glorious dispensa
tion lot all who have come to the fifties hoar
the trumpet of jubilee that I now blow.
That was tho allusion made by Air. Toplady,
the great hymnologisfc, when no wrote;
Dlovr yo tho trumpet, blow
Tho kindly solemn sound;
Lot all the nations know,
To earth's remotest bound,
The year of Jublloo Is come.

Yo who have sold for naught
Vour heritage above
Shull have It Inclc unbought—
The gift of JeriUH’s love.
Tne year of Jubilee has come.
Return yo lausomed sinners name.
My sermon next accosts the sixties. Tha
beginning of that decade is moro startling
than any other. In his chronological jour
ney the man rides rathor smoothly over the
figures “3” and “3” and ‘T” and “5,” but the
figure “6” gives him a big jolt. lie says:
“It cannot be that I ami)). Let me ex
amine tin old family record. 1 guoss they
made a mistake. They got my name down
wrong in the roil of births.” But, no; the
older brothers or sisters remember tho time
of his advent, an l there is Borne relative a
year older, and another relative u year
younger, and, sure enough, the fact is estab
lished beyond all disputation.
Hixtyl Now your great dangor is the
temptation to fold up your faculties and
quit. You will fool a tendency to reminisce*
If you do not look out you will begiu al
most everything with tho words, “when I
ii-hm JUS and occupations saw that you were was a boy.” But you ought to make the

30 to 4 t it is an eapeeially hard time
for young doctors, young lawyers, young
merchants, young farmers, young mechan
ics, young ministers. The struggle of the :
thirties is for honest and helpful and re
munerative recognition. But. few old peo
ple know how to treat young people without
patronizing them on tho one nan l or Buub-
r.ing them on tiie other Oj, the thirbiesl

The height of Solomon’s temple was 3 ) cu
bits. Christ entered upon His active ministry
at.30 year.? of age. Ju las sold hinunlf for
30 pieces of silver.
Oh, the thirties! What a word suggestive
of trmtnph or disaster! Your decade is the
one that will probably afford the greatest
opportunity for victory, because tnere is
the greatest necessity for struggle. Head
the world’s history an l know what are the
thirties for gool or bad. Alexander the
Great closed his career at 32. Frederick tiie
Great made Europe trainable with his armies
at 35. Cortes conquere 1 Mexico at 30.
Grant fought Shiloh ahd Donetam when'K
Raphael died at 37. Luther was the hero
of tne reformation at 35. Sir 1 nilip byduoy
got through by 32. ^ , . ,
The greatest deeds for Go l and against
Hun were done within the thirtie*, an I your
greatest battle? are now and between the
time wuen you cease expressing your age by
truth than the fifties, or tho forties, or the
. thirties. You ought to do more ddring tho
' next ten years than you did iu any 30 years
I of your life because of all tho experience
i you have had. You have cornmitto i enough
mistakes in life to make you wise above
| your juniors. Now, under tho accumulated
} light of your past exporimeating, go to work
for God as never before.
When a man in tho sixties folds U[> his
energy cud feels he has doue enough, it is
the devil of indolence to which ho is sur
rendering, and God generally takes the man
at, his word and lets him die right away.
His brain, that uuder tho tension of hard
work was active, now suddenly shrivels.
Men, whether they retire from secular or
religious work, generally retire to the grave.
No well man has a right to retire. TLe
world was made for work. There remalnefch
a rest for tho people of God, but it is in a
sphere beyond tho reach of telescopes. The
military charge that decided one of tho
greatest battles of the ages—the battle of
Waterloo—was not made until 8 o’clock in
the evening, but somo of you propose to go
into camp at 2 c/clock in the afternoon.
My subject next accosts tbosj in the
seventies uud beyond. My word to them is
congratulation. You have got nearly if not
quite through. You have safely crossed
too sea of life and are about to enter the
harbor. You have fought at Gettysburg,
and tne war is over. Here and there a
skirmish with tho remaining sin of your own
heart an I the sin of the world, but I guess
you are about donp.

1 am glad to say that most old Christians
are cheerful. Daniel Webster visited John
Adams a sh irb time before Itis death and
found him in very infirm health. He said
to Mr. Adams: “lam glad to seo you. I
hope yoii ut’0 getting along pretty well?”
The reply was: “Ah, sir, quite the contrary.
1 find I am n poor tenant neoUoyiug a home
much shattered by time. It sways and trem
bles with every wind, and what is worse,
sir, tho landlord, as near as I can make out,
does not intend to mako auy repairs.”
Dr. Reman, after p issing into tho seven
ties, was itskod by my frien 1, Rev. Dr,
Spear, “Dr. Deiimd, jio\V is your health
now?” an 1 horepliel. ,{ i hate on me an in
curable disease.” 4< >Yhafc is that?” asked my
l ricn i, and the septuagenarian replied,
“Old ago.” Roth of tiie old moil I have
mentioned intende l their retdarks for
faaetlousiiess, and old people have aright to
be facet ious. An u,;o I woman sent for her
physician and told him of her ailments, and
tho doctor said; “Want would you have mo
do, madam? I cannot make you young
again.” She replied: “1 kno.v that, doctor.
Wlmt 1 want you to do is to help in) grow
old ft little longer.”
Tho young have their .troubles before
them* The old have tluiir troubles behin l
them; You have got about till out of this
earth that fchevo is in ifc. Re glad that you,
an aged servant of God, ure going to try an
other 11 e and amid better surroundings.
Stop looking back add look alien I. Oh, yo
In tho seventies, mi l tho eighties, ami tiie
nineties, your best d iys are yet to come;
your gran lest associations are yet to be
formed; your best eyesight is yet to bo
kindled: your belt hearing D yet to be
awaken > 1; your greatest speed is yet to lie
traveled, your gladdest song is yofc to bo
sung.
The most of your friends have gone over
tho border, and you are going to join them
very soon. They are waiting for you; They
are'’watching the golden snore to see you
land. They tiro watching tho shining gate
to see you come through. They uro stand
ing by tho throne to seo you mount. What a
gla l hour when you drop the staff and take
ilia scepter; when you quit tho stiffened
joints and bduomo an immortal athlete I But
hoar! heart a remark partinonfc to all people
whether In the twenties, tho thirties, the
forties, tho fifties, tho sixties, tho seventies,
or beyond. What we all need is to take the
supernatural into our lives.
Do not let us depend on brain and muscle
and nerve. AYo want a mighty supply of
tho supernatural. We want with us a di
vine force mightier than the waters and
the tempests, and when the Lord took two
steps on bestormed Galilee, putting ouo Coot
on tho winds and tho other on tho waves, He
G raved Himself mightier than hurricane and
illow. Wo want with us a divine force
greater than tho liras, and when tho Lord
cooled NobuoUadueezar’s furnace until Shad-
rach, Meshach nud Abednogo did not oven
have to fan thoiusolVos Ho prove 1 Himself
mightier than tho fire.
Wo want a divine force stronger than wild
beust, and when tho Lord made Daniel a lion
tamer He proved Himself stronger than the
wrath of the jungles. There are so many
diseases iu tho world wo want with us a di
vine physician oapublo of combabiug ail
ments, and our Lord when on earth showod
what He cou’fl do with catalepsy and paraly
sis ami ophthalmia and dementia. Oh, take
this supernatural into all your livosl How
to get it? Just ns you got anything you
want—by application. If you want any
thing, you apply for ifc.
By prayer apply for tho supernatural.
Take ifc into your daily business. Many u
man has been able to pay only 50 oonts on
tho dollar, who if ho had called in the super
natural could have paid 101) cents on tho
dollar. Why flo 98 men out of 109 fall in
business? Because there are not more than
two moil out of a hundred who take God in
to their worldy affairs. “Behind, the great,
unknown staiidoth God within the shadows
; keeping watch upon His own.”
A man got up in a Now York prayer meet
ing and said: 4 'God is my partner. 1 did
business without Him for twenty years and
tailed every two or throe years. I have
I been doing business with Him for twenty
' years and have not failed once.” Oh, take
| tho supernatural into all your affairs I I had
such an evidence of tho goodness of God in
temporal things when i entered active life I
miiBt testify. Called to preach at lovely
Belleville, in New Jersey, I entered upon
my work. But there stood tho empty par
sonage, and not a cent bad 1 with which to
furnish it. After preaching throe or four
weeks the ollicers of my church asked mo if
I did not want to mice two or three weeks’
vacation. 1 said “Yes,” for I had preached
about all I know, but 1 feared they must be
getting tired of me. #
When I returned to the village after the
brief vacation, they haude 1 me the key of
tho parsonage and asked me If I did not want
to go and look at ifc. Not suspecting any
thing bad happened, I put Die key into the
parsonage door and opened it, and there was
tho hall completely furnished with carpet
and pictures and hatrack, and I turned into
the parlors, and they were furnished, tho
softest sofas l ever sat on, and into the study
and found it furnished with book-oases, and
1 wont to tho bedrooms, and they worn fur
nished, and into tho pantry, and that was
furnished with every culinary article, and
tho spiceboxo3 were filled, und a flour-
barrel stood there ready to bo opened,
and I went down into tho dining room, and
the table was set and beautifully furnished,
and into tho kitchen, and the stove was full
of fuel, and a match lay on the top of tho
stove, and all I had to do in starting house
keeping was to strike the match. God in
spired tho whole thing, and if I ever doubt
His goodness, all up and down the world, call
me uu ingrate. 1 testify that I have been
in many tight plucos, a,lfl Hod always got
me out, and He will got you out of tho
tight places.
But the most of this audience will never
reach the eighties, or the seventies, or the
sixties, or tho fifties, or tho forties. He who

THE BRIDGE COLLAPSED
And a Heavy Freight Train Goes Do mi
with it No Loss of Life.
Tho most disastrous freight wreck llmfc
ever occurred on the Chicago and Erie
road happened at Limit, Ohio, Wednes
day morning, about one mile west of
the station. The third section of west
bound freight train No. 83, with a heavy
train, derailed a car at the switch before
reaching tho bridge, and when the
bridge was struck tiie middle span of it
gave away, and nineteen cars, with
tho caboose, wero piled up in tho
stream, thirty feet below. Tho engine
.and several cars were all that passed
over safely. Fortunately the trainmen
wero all in front, except the conductor.
He escaped by jumping. The conductor
thinks there were three tramps iu a box
car, who got on at Kenton. If they were,
they were ground to atoms. The cirs
were reduced to splinters, and only two
or three of them can be repaired. All
wero loaded with merchandise.
