death of her brother, the mother Mooned

caught the disease and perished. All the.
world sang tho heroism and the •olf-Buerltleo
of 1 rlucest Alice, but I have to toll you that
when our race was dying the Lord Jesus
stooped down and gave us Up) kiss of Ills
ovorlasting Jove and perished that wo might
live. “It Is Christ that died.'*
Can you tell me how tender hoarted Paul
could find anything to rejoleoat In tho bur-
riblo death scene of Calvary? We weep at
funerals | We are syntpatl^etie when we boo a
stranger die ; when a mpjrdorer stops updu
tho ftcutTohl wo pray for his departing spirit,
and how could Paul—tho great hearted Paul
—•find anything to .bo pleased with at the
funeral of a God? Besides that Christ had
only recently died, and the sorrow was fresh
in the memory of the world, and how In the
Ireah memory of n BuvIourVdouth could Paul
bo exultant?
It was because Paul saw In that death his
own delivernrico and thudeliveraneaof a race
from still worse Ulsastor. He saw the gup
liito which tlitf raw must plnnge, And'he saw
tho bleeding hands of Christ close it. The
gliltering steel ou the top of the execution-
er’s spear In hhrsfght kindled Into A tbroh to
light roqn hoavenwanl. The persecutorshuav
over tho crow five words writfon'in.Hebrew,
0reok and Latin, but Paul saw over the cross
of Christ only one word—“expiation I” H»
heard In the dying groan of Christ his own
groan of eternal torture taken by another.
Paul sitld to himself,“Had it not - been that
Christ Volunteered in mvhehalf, thoso would
have been my.nmulM ,liunds.«and fast, iny
gashodslde, my crimson temples.“
Men of great physical ' endurance havo
sometimes carried very heavy burdens —300
pounds, -100 pounds—and they- have still
said - “My strength is Upt yet tested. Put
on more weight.” llut after rfwhils they
were compelled to cry.oqL* “.Slop! r can
carry no more.” But the burden of Christ
was Illimitable. First, there was Ills own
burden of liungor and thirst and bereave
ment and a thousand outrages that have
been heaped unoa Him, and on top of that
burden wore tli*v sorrows of His poor old
mother, and on the top of those burdens the
crimes of tho rulTlan.s who wcrO executing
Him.
“Stop !" you cry “It Is Enough. Christ
can bear no more.” And Chrlm says, “Boll
on more burdens ; roll on Me the slus of this
entire nation, and after that roll on Me the
sins of the Inhabited earth, and then roll on
Mo the sins of tho 4000 years past, so far as
those sins havo been forgiven." And the
angels of God, seeing the awful pressure,
ary • “.Stop ! lie can boar no more.” And
the blood rushing to the nostril and lip seems
locryput “Enough! He can endure no
more.” But Christ says : “Boll on a greater
'burden, roll on tho sins of the next 1900
years, roll on Me the sins of the suceceding
ages, roll on Me the agonies of hell, agea on
ages, thQ furnaces and the prison houses and
tho tortures." That Iff what the Bible
menus when it snys, “IIo bore our sins and
carried our sorrows."
“Now," Hays Paul, “I am free. That suf
fering purchased my deliverance. God never
coIlootH a debt twice. I have a receipt in
full. If Cod is satlslled with mo, then what '
do all tho threats of earth and lioll amount
to? Bring on all your witnesses," says
Paul. “Show all your force. Du your wornt
against my soul. I defy you. I dare you.
I challenge you. Who Is he that condemn-,
eth'/NJt is Christ that died." Oh, wlmi u
ptrong argument that puts in the hand of ev
ery Christian man ! Home day all tho pant
sins of hiH life come down on him hi a llory
troop, and they pound away at the gate ol
his soul, and they say “Wo have come foi
your arrest. Any one of us could overcome
you. Wo are 10,000 strong. Surrender.*'
And you open the door, and slugle handed
arid alone you contend against that troop.
You lling this divine weapon into their midst.
Toil scatter those sins as quick as you cal
think it.
“It Ih Christ that died." Why. then, brlni
up to us the sins of our post life? What havt
we to do with those obsolete things? You
know how hard It is for a wrecker to bring
up anything that Is lost near the shore of tin
Hen, but suppose something be lost half waj
between Liverpool and New York. It can
not ho found , It cannot be fetched up
“Now,”says God, “your sins havo been cnsi
into the depths of. the sea." Mld-Atlantio
All tho machinery ever fashioned in foun-
drietf of darkness and launched from the
doors of eternal death, working for 10.000
years, cannot bring up one of our sins for
given and forgotten and sunken Into the
depths of the seu. When a sIn Is pardoned,
It is gone. It is gone out of the books ; it is
gone out of the memory , it is gone out of ex
istence. “Their sins and their Iniquities will
I remember no more."
From other tragedies men have corne away
exhausted and nervous and sleepless, but
there is one tragedy that soothes and calms
and saves. Calvary was the stage, on which
it w;ts enacted, the curtain of tho night fall
ing at midnoon was the drop scene, the
thunder of falling rocks the orchestra, angels
in the gulb-ries and devils In the pit the
Spectators, the tragedy a crucifixion. “It Is
Christ that died." Oh. triumphant thought!
If you go through the picture gallery of
Versailles, you will find a great change
there. I said to a friend who had been
through those galleries, “Are they as they
were before tho French war?" and I wm
told there was a great change there ; that all
that multitude of pictures which represented
Napoleonic triumphs had been taken away
and in the frames were other pictures rep
resentative of German sueews and victory.
Oh, that all the scenes of Satanic triumph in
our world might be blotted out, and that
the whole world might be a picture gallery
representing the triumphant Jesus! Down
with tho monarchy of transgression! Up
with tho monarchy of our King ! Hail! Jesus,
hail'
But I must givo you tho second cause of
Paul’s exhilaration. If Christ had staid in
that grave, wo never would have gotten out
of it. The grave would have been dark and
dismal as the conciergerio during the reign
of terror, where the carts came up only to
take the victims out to the scaffold. I do
not wonder that tho ancients tried by em
balmment of the body to resist the dissolution
of death.
Tho gravo is tho darkost, deepest, ghostli

for us when we go there. Ho tarrlod two
whole nights In tho gravo, so that He saw
how important It was to have plenty ot
light, aud Ho has flooded it with His own
glory.
It is onrly Sunday morning, and we start
up to find the gravo <?f Christ. Wo find the
morning sun gliding the dew, and the shrubs
are sweet as tho foot crushes them. Wlmt n
beautiful plnco to bq burled in! Wondei

was alive as they dd hevV that ifo is dead.
UtVo the military salute lo tho soldiers who

as though they were dead, and the stone at
the door of Christ’s tomb spins down the hill,
flung by tho arm of an angel. Come fort hi

And then I notice Iha^ the long dirge of tho
world’s woo suddenly si ops at t ho arehan gellc
shout of “Como forth !‘
Oh, my friends, U Christ hnd not broken
out of tho gravo you and I would never come
out of It! It would have been another case
of Charlotte Corday. attempting to slay a
tyrant, herself slain. It would have been
another cuse of John Brown attempt ing to
free the slaved, himself hung. It would have
been Death and Christ in a grapple and
Death the victor. The black flag would have
floated on all tho graves and mausoleums ol
tho dead, and hell Would havo conquered
the foroofl of heaven and captured tho ram-
partH of God, and satan would have come lo
coronation In the palaces of heaven, and I
tvould have been devils on tho throne and
sons of God in the dungeon.
No I! jio ! no ! When that stone was rolled
from the door of Christ’s grave, it was hurled
with such a force that it crashed in all the
grave doors of Christendom, and now the
tomb is only a bower where God’s children
lake a siesta, an afternoon nap, to wake np

A,//jurth cause of Paul’s ,exhlliratlon
After a clergyman had preached a sermon'ln
regard to tho glories of heaven ami the
splendors of tho scene an aged woman said,
“If all that is to go on in heaven, I don’t
know what will become of my poor head."
Oh, ipy friends, there will bo so many things
going on In heaven I have sometimes won
derod if the Lord would not forget you and
etn !
Perhaps Paul said sometimes : “I won ler
God does not forget mo..down here in An
tioch; and In the prison,. iuul in tlp> ship-.
wreck. There are so many sailors, so many
wayfarers, so many prisoners, so many heart
broken men," says Paul, “perhaps God may
forget me. And then 1 am so vile a sinner.
How I whipped those Christians ! With wlmt
vengeance I mounted that cavalry horse and
dashed up to Damascus! Oh, it will take «
mighty attorney to plead my enuso and gel
mo free.” But just at that moment there
came in upon Paul’s soul somethingraightioi
than tho surges that dashed his Hhlp ink
Mcllta, swifter than the horse he rode to
Damascus. Jt was the swift and overwhelm
ing thought of Christ’s intercession.
My friends, wo must 1 hare an advocate. A
poor lawyer is worse than no lawyer at all.
We must have one who Is able successfully
to present our cause before Go l. Wnere is
Ho? Who is He? There is only one ad
vocate In all the universe that can pluad our
cause in the last judgment, that can plea l
our cause before God in the great tribunal.
Sometimes in earthly courts attorneys
have specialties, nnd one man succeeds bet
tor in patent eases, another iu insuranee
eases, another in criminal cooes, another in
land eases, another in will eases, and bis
success generally depends upon his sticking
to that specialty. I havo to toll you that
Christ can do many things, but it seems to
me that His specialty Is to fake the bad easo
of tiio sinner and plead it before Go 1 until
Ho gets eternal acquittal. Oh, we must have
Him for our advocate.
But what plea can Ho make? Hornetimes
an attorney in court will plead the innocence
of the prisoner That would bo Inappropriate
for us. We are all guilty ! guilty ! Unclean !
unclean! Christ, our advocate, will not
plead our innocence. Sometimes the attor
ney in court trios to prove an alibi. He says :
“This prisoner was not at tho scene. Ho was
in some other place at the time." Bach a
plea will not do in our case. Tho Lord found
us in all our sins nnd in tho very place of our
iniquity. It Is Impossible to prove an alibi.
Hometlmes an attorney will plead the insanity
of the prisoner and say ho is irresponsible on
that account. That plea will never do in our
case We sinned against light, against
knowledge, against tho dictates of our own
consciences. We know what wo were doing.
What, then, shall the plea be?
The plea for dill* eternal deliverance will
ho Christ's own martyrdom; He will say
“Look at all these wounds. By ail these
bufferings I demand tho rescue of this mat!
from sin and death nnd hell. Constable^
knock off the shackles—let the prisoner gj*
free.” “Who in ho that eondenmeth I It Is
Ohrlst that died; yea; rather that is risen
agalii| wild 1A eveii at the’ right hand pf God,
Who alsonmketli Intercession for us.”
But why all this gladness on tho faced 61
theBO sons and daughters of tho Lord Al
mighty? 1 know what you aro thinking of.
A Saviour dead ;a Saviour risen ; a Saviour
oxaltod ; a Saviour interceding. “What,"
say you, “la all that for me?’ All, all!
Never loft mo hear you complaining about
anything again. With yotlr pardoned slu
behind you, and a successful Christ pleading
nbovo you, and a glorious heaven before you,
how can you ho despondent about any
thing?
“But," says tomo man in the audience,“all
that is very god 1 mid very true for those
who are inside tho kingdom, but hoW about
thoso of us who are outsider’ Then 1 suy,
Como into the kingdom, come out of the
prison house into the glorious sunlight of
God’s mercy and pardon, and come now.
It was iu the lust day of the reign of terror
—tho year 1708. Hundreds and thousands
had perished under the French guillotine.
Franco groaned with the tyrannies of Robes
pierre and the Jacobino (Mill*. Tho last group
of mifferere had had their locks shorn by
MonehOtte, the prison barber, so that thoned;
might be bare to tho keen knife of tho guillo
tine.
The carts came up lo the prison, the poor
Wretches were placed In the carts an 1 driven

upon these resellers, so that tin* poor w ret chef

horribly died.
But that very night these monsters of per

perished under the very guillotine that hf
had reared for others, all France clapping

Mol hers Must Kxnrolao Extra Vigi
lance in Hot Weather.
At this Henson of the year too much
attention cannot ho paid to the caro of
he little ones, who are so susceptible to
!lio pernicious influences of hot and
■’muggy” weather, says Dr. J. F. Whit*
myer, in tho New York World. Tho
necessity for such attention becomes
|uito apparent when ouo considers the
fact that ot all fatal alTections occurring
luring tho first year of life nearly forty
per cent, nit* diseases of tho digestive
organs, wlplo about twenty per cent, are
liseasos of the organs of respiration. Of
the first mentioned, summor complaint
md cholera infantum constitute tho great
majority of cases.
Tho • au^es of summer complaints can
Invariably be traced to one or two fac
tors atmospheric or dietetic.
When caused by tho atmosphere it is
due to the large percentage of moisture
which it contains. This prevents tho
proper evaporation of the perspiration
lru.ii tho skin, which in turn causes n
sour stomach and the usual consequences
so familiar to mothers who live in a
densely populated neighborhood. With
proper precautions many eases of sum
mer complaint could be prevented.
During Um hot weather very young
children should bo bathed night and
morning and sponged several times a
day with water at a temperature of about
ninety degrees. The cooling elleot of
ihii seems to be greater and more lasting
t han when cold water is used. • Uy dis
solving a small quantity of baking soda
in tho water prickly heat, which is a
great source of annoyance to tho little
ones, can usually be prevented.
A hath thermometer should always be
us ••), as the temperat ure of the wuter
cannot bo actually determined with the
hand.
When possiblo children under two
years of age should bo sent to the coun
try and kept there until October.
Many of the “dietetic” cases can be pre
vented by the observance of such simple
precautions as regularity in time and
quantity of each feeding. Nursing
mothers should avoid such articles of
diet as crabs, lobster, clams and codlislf,
as they arc. frequently the cause of hives.
Under no circumstances should nurs
ing children be weaned during the hot
summer mouths, as it renders them liable
to an attack of summer complaint, which
iu such eases is always very serious. A
fact that is seldom thought of by many
mothers is that a child can he thirsty
without necessarily being hungry at tho
same time. They therefore cumpel it to
eat in order to satisfy Us thir:;ft. An oc
casional drink of water instead of food
will do much towards preventing an at
tack of the much-dreaded summer com
plaint. When there is the least ground
for supposing that the water is contamin
ated with disease germs, or when im
pure, it should be thoroughly boiled be
fore using.
When a child is taken with an attack
of summer complaint aud a doctor is not
at hand, a dose of castor oil should bo
given at once and followed in two or
three hours by a teaspoon fill of compound
clmlk mixture, which dose may be re
peated every hour or two until tho symp
toms cease.
unK or tnc row novel mens tnat nave
come to light as the result of the recent
advertisement for plans for a submarine
naval boat involves the construction ot a
cruft that can be sunk by admitting a
limited quantity of water, and will then
run around on the bottom of tho ocean
on wheels. The inventor thinks that his
boat can move more directly in a straight
path than a boat subject to deflection
by currents and waves, and therefore
claims for her tho ability to pick her
position with accuracy beneath tho iron
clad she wishes to destroy. He has made
provision for reaching the surface when
desired by means of a set of pumps to
expel the water admitted to the hull.

ANIMALS THAT l’LAY TRICKS.
Among the incidents of jokes played
by animals upon one another cited by
a writer ou the animal sense of humor,
in the London Spectator, is that of a
jackdaw, which, whenever it found its
setter dog companions asleep, would
■teal to them and pull at tho fluffy tas
sels of hair between their toes—where
tin* animal was more sensitive thau in
any other hairy parts of its body—un
pleasantly waking them up.
A cat expressed its dislike of % pea
cock by jumping through its spread
out tail when the bird was displaying
its beauty and exhibiting its own vanity, I
to tho great discomfiture of the fowl.
Tho writer’s dog, which was accustom
ed to hunting rabbits, showed ita dis
pleasure when tho master had shot a
bullfinch by going into the hedge, find
ing a rabbit and bringing it to him.
Another dog, which knew tuiqe ducks
and that they were not hunted, but had
no acquaintance with the wild ones, was
much disgusted when its master shot a
teal, believing he lmd made a mistake,
and would have nothing to do with tho
game. He behaved in exactly the auino
way when we shota black rabbit; noth
ing would persuade him that it was not
a cat, and he would do no serious work
for tho rest of the day.

A FUNNY JIUO,
lioliio wn.H down lit tlio end of tho
lot, oIoho bt'Hido tlio K ,l to loading into
tlio chicken-yard. Mho wuh watching
tho little cliickeiiH that worn running
about crying “ cheep, clioop ” and the
old mother-liena Horatolmig uplnigHand
worms for their little folka’ dinner.
All at once (din npied a queer-looking
object trailing through the graBs uthcr
feet. It had an odd zigzag motion and
in all the fivo yearn of her life ltobjo
had never seen anything liko it, She
watched it intently, wondering if
grandma had over noon . one..like it.
She would havo likod to oujl grandma
to coino and hoo it, only it might go
uway whilo olio wan gone,
Protty hooii it ntopped, and Itehio
wont up oIoho to it and atooped down
to look at it. Hho thought it looked
liko Koine protty ribbon aho had aeon
iu tho etore when nho went fdiopping
with mamma, hut juatthon it ramed ita
head straight up in the air und shot
towards her a long slender tongue that
looked like a little lilaok streak, it
moved so fast, at tho sumu timo
making a little hissing sort of sound.
That, frightened Itehio a little, and
she jumped up quickly aud run into
the house to grandma.
“<), grandma,” sho said, “coino
out quick and see this funny hug! Ho
goes this way." And sho waved her
little fat lingers slowly back and forth.
Now grandma was very busy and
didn’t care to go out to look at bugs;
hut tlio iittln girl was so earnest and
excited sho wont with her.
Itehio led her straight to tho chicken
yard fence, aud there, stretched out at
full length in tho grass, sunning him
self, lay a snake,
A viper John said it was when ho
brought tho hoo anil killed it. And
when she heard wliat it was, and what
it might have done, Rcbie was very
glad the “ funny hug ” was dead and
could do her no harm.
“I guess, grandma,” sho said after
ward, “ it was because I said my prayers
this morning that ho didn’t bite me.”
