hearsal for musio in heaven. If you and I
nru going to take part in that great ore.'ic-
tra, it is high time that we were stringln
and thrumming our harps. They tell us that

a concert until they lmd ilrst in private

am not speaking of the next world. Gab bath

want not more harmony, not more artistic
expression, but niorb volu- co in our church
music.
■ Now I n:n no worshiper of noise, but I be
lieve that If our American churches would,
with full heartiness of soul and full emphasis
of voice, slug the songs of Zion this part of
sacred worship would have tenfold inoru
power than it has jiow. Why not tako this
part of tiio sacred service and lift it to wlie .
it ought to be? All the annoyances of life
might bo drowned out of that sacred song.
Po you toll me that It is not fashionable to
Sing very loudly? Then, 1 say, away with
the fashion. W e dam back tho great Mis
sissippi of congregational singing and lot a
few drops ot melody trickle through the
dam. 1 Bay, take away tile dam and lot the
billows roar on iliolr way to tho oceanic
heart of God, Whether it is fashionable to
Bing loudly or not, let us sing with all pos-
iihio emphasis.
We hear a great deal of tho art of singing,
of inUsiu as uu cnt-ud-iiiiment, of music as a
recreation. it is high time wo heard some
thing oi music as a help-a practical help.
In order to do this we must only have a few
hymns. New tun 1 and new hymns every
Sunday make poor congregational singing.

toughest work comes before thirty. There

And so with these people further on In life.
W hat do these doctors and lawyers and mer
chants and mechanics care about thenbstnur

hear lho whimsicalities ot patients, tho brow
beating of legal opponents, tho unfairness ol
Again I remark that sanctuary help ought
to come from tho j-f-rroon. O; a thousand
people in ti; is or any other audience, how
many want sympathetic help? Do you guess
a hundred? Do you guess 500? You have
guessed wrong. I will tell you just the pro
portion. Out of a thousand people in this
audience there are just 1000 who need sym
pathetic help. Th**«e young people want it
just as much as the old. The old people some
times seem to think they have a monopoly
of the rheumatism, and tho neuralgias, and
tho headaches, anil the physical disorders of
the world. But 1 toll you there are no worse
heartaches than aro felt by some of these
young people.
Do y.; j know that much or the work Is
done by the young? Raphael died at thirty-
seven, Richard III ut thirty-three, Gustavus
Adolphus died at thirty-eight! Innocent III
came to hii mlghtieu influence at thirty-
Oort**Mexico at thirty j
praise lor twenty excellences. What does
that brain rackod, hand blistered man care
for Zwluglo’s “Doctrine of Original Min.” or
Augustine’s “Anthropology?" You might ti»
well go to a mau who has tho pleurisy and
put on his side a plaster made out of Dr.
rurr's “Treatise on Medical Jurisprudence.
While all of a sermon may not be helpful
alike to all If It be a Christian sermon
preached by a Christian man, thero will bo
help for every one somewhere. Wo go into
an apothecary store. Wo see others being
waited ou. Wo do not complain because we
•lo not immediately got the medicine,
know oar turn will como after atVlillo. And
bo, while all parts of a sermon may not I
appropriate to our ease, if wo wait prayer
fully before tho sermon is through we snail
have the divine prescription. I say to these
young men who como here Sabbath by Sub-
bath, and who are going to preach the gos
pel—these theological students—I say to
them, wo want in our sermons not more
metaphysics, nor more imagination, nor
more logic, nor more profundity,
Yv hat wo want in our sermons and Chris
Ban exhortations Is more sympathy. When
Father Taylor preached in the bailors'Bethel
at Boston, tho hick tars felt that they lui
help for their duties among tho ratlines au
the forecastles. When Richard Weaver
preached to the operatives in Oldham, Eng
land. all the workingmen felt they had more
grace lor the spindles. When Dr. South
preached to kings and princes and princesses
all the mighty men who heard him felt prep
aration forthoir high station.
Again I remark that sanctuary help ought
to come through tho prayers of all the peo
ple. The door of tho eternal storehouse is
hung ou one hinge—-a gold hinge, tho hiuge
oi prayer—and when the whole audience lay
hold oi that door, if must come op n. Thors

ire people In crises of awful temp
They aro on the verge of despair o

in the way of giving them strength to resist.
Will you be chiefly anxious about the lit ol
tho glove that you put to your forohon
while you prayed? Will you bo chicil
critical of tho rhetoric of tho pastor'
pi-tltion? No. No. A thousand people will
feel, “That prayer is for mo,” and at every
step of the prayer chains ought to drop off,
and temples or sin ought to crush into dust
and jubilees of deliverance ought to brandish
their t rum pots. Inmost of our churches
have three nravors—the ooonimr nraver,
what is called tho “long prayer,” and tho
closing prayer.
There are many people who spend the first
prayer in arranging their apparel after en
trance, and spend tho sooond prayer—tho
“long prayer”—in wishing It were through,
nd spend the last prayer in preparing to
start for home. Tho moat Insignificant part
of every religious sendee is the aermon. Tho
moro important parts aro the Scriptural les
son and tho prayer. Tho sormon is only a
innn talking to a man. The Scripture lesson
Is God talking to rnnn. Prayer is man talk
ing to God. Oh, if wo understood the grand
eur and tho pathos of this exercise or prayer,
Instead of being a dull exorcise, we would
imagine that tho room was full of divine and
angelic appearances.
But. my Irlends, tho old stylo of church
will not do tho Work. Wo might ns well now
try to take all the passengers from Now York
to Buffalo by stage coach, or all tho passen
gers frgm Albany to Buffalo by oannlboat, or
to .lo all tho battling of tho world with bow
and arrow, as with tho old stylo of church to
moot tho exigencies of this day. Unloss tho
church In our day will adapt ltsolf to tho
time it will booomo extinct. Tho people read
ing newspapers and books all tho week, in
alert, picturesque and resounding stylo, will
ave no patience with Sabbath humdrum.
Wo have no objections to bands and sur
plice and all tho paraphernalia of clerical
life, but those things make no Impression-
ruake no more Impression on the great
masses of tho people than tho ordinary busi
ness suit that you wear in Wall street. A
tailor cannot make a minister. Homo of the
poorest preachers wear tho best clothes, and
many a backwoodsman has dismounted from
the saddlebags and in Ins linen duster
preached a sermon that shook earth and
heaven with Us Christian eloquence. No new
gospel, only the old gospel In a wny suited
to the timo. No new church, but a church
to bo tho asylum, tho inspiration, the prac
tical sympathy and tho eternal hoip of tho
people.
But while half of the doors of tho church
nro to beset open toward this world theothor
half of the doors of tho church must bo sot
open toward the next. You and I tarry here
only a brief space. Wo want somebody to
teach us how to get out of this life at tho
right time and in the right wny. Horne
full out of life, somo go stumbling out of life,
some go groaning out or life, some go curs
lug out of life. Wo want to go singing, ris
ing, rejoicing, triumphing. Wo want half
the doors of tho church set in that direc
tion. Wo want half the prayers that way,
half tho sermons that way. We want to
know how to get ashore from the tumult o'
this world Into tho land of everlasting peace.
We do not want to stand doubting and shiv
ering when wo go away from this world. Wo
want our anticipations aroused to the high-
pitch.
We want to have tho exhilaration of a dy-
g child In England, tho father telling rne
the story. When he said to her, “Is thepath
arrow?” she answered : “The path Is nar
row. It is so narrow that I cannot walk arm
arm with Christ, so Jesus goes ahead and
He says, ‘.Mary, follow.’ ” Through these
church gates set heavenward how many of
your friends and mine have gone? The last
timo they wore out of tho house they came
to church. Tho earthly pilgrimage ended at
the pillar of public worship, and then they
'"'“ched out to a bigger and brighter assem-
e. Homo of them were so old they could
not walk without a cane or two crutches.
Now they have eternal juvenescence. Or
they were so young they could not walk ex
cept as tho maternal hand guided them. Now
they uound with the hilarities celestial.
The last time wo saw them they were
wasted with malarial or pulmonic disorder,
they have no fatigue and no dilfi-
ulty of respiration in the pore air of heaven.
How I wonder when you and I will cross
over ! Home of you have had about enough
of the thumping and flailing of this life. A
draft from the fountains of heaven would uo
you good. Complete release, you could
bland very well. if you got on the other
tide and bad permission to come back, you
would not come. Though you were invited
to como back and join your friends on earth,
you would say, “No, let mo tarry hero until
they come. I shall not risk going back. If
u man reaches heaven, he had better stay
there.”
Oh, I join hands with you this morning in
that uplifted splendor!
In Freybourg, Switzerland, there is the
trunk of a tree 400 years old. That tree was
planted to commemorate an event About
ten miles from the city the Hwiss conquered
the Burgundians, ana a young man wanted
to take tno tidings to the city, fie took a tree
branch and ran with such speed the ten miles
that when he reached tho city waving the
tree branch he had only strength to cry “Vic

My hearer, when you have fought your lost
battle with sin amt death atul Roll, nud they
have been routed In tho conflict, it will be a
joy worthy of celebration. You will fly to
the city ami cry “Victory 1” and drop ut tho
feet of the Great King. Then tho palm

BILL ARP’S LETTER.
He Advises Young M il to Carry Insur
ance on Their Lives,
The Premium is Light in Youth*
Pay Your Own Funeral Expenses.
If Iliad my life lo live over again l would in
sure it. 1 wool I begin ut I\v< nty-one. I would
talio ft lifu policy for lho I cm lit of my wife or
my mother or my sistt r or somebody very near
and d nr lo me. If 1 wai poor 1 won d insure
for if 1,000, f r that would tube only $fl twice ft
year. Am voting man could pay tliar much
and if lio died young lho lb u and dollars
would help iii-« mother or his wife or his sister
ho much. Funerals it re expensive nowadays,
and a poor man oun’t alTord to die tin ess his
life is insured. If a young man who is getting
from $50 to $100 salary docs not spend any
thing for whL y or cigars ho could safely take
n policy for -t8.000 and pay $27 twice a year.
If ho was Iwenty-ftvo years old it would cod
ItHii only $80 semi-annually, not its much an
cigars. It hin salary "a< $150 a month ho
ei uM afford $10 of it each month for Insur
ance. and that would carry u policy of $5,000.
What a blessin that sum would ho lo the wife
or lho mother or the *sister. 1 know a young
man who carries $10,000 for his father nud
mother. They are old and poor. He supports
them out of his earnings, but fears ho might
die before I b y do and then thoy would bo
le lphss. If he outlives them tlio policy bc-
oonu'H his own.
Life imurauoo is lho best savings hank in
the world fora young man. Ho gets if so
cheap. Now, here I am, old and poor, and am
carrying only $3,000 on my lif- and it costs
mo $175 a year and it i-i a hard struggle lo
meet tho premiums* I began only live
years ago. Too late, too late, but I
must Imld on utrtil I whip the light. I’ll whip
it hi*vo if 1 hold on, f<»r old Father
Time ih backing me. If I had begun »t twenty-
ono or twenty-live the premiums would have
bt on about $10 and tho dividends would* have
paid that long before this. Honda man say
the other day that he paid on $10,000 for twen
ty years and now inis a paid up policy and
draws dividends on it just like it was slock in a
bank. I wish I hud don that when 1 was a
young man. Wouldn't it lx glorious if I had
such a document for my wife and Dm girls?
But if a young man seriously objects to make
money by (lying for il lot him take but uu en
dowment policy for twenty or tw. nty-flve yours.
It will cost him about twioo as mivli but ho can
ifho lives walk up to tlm captain's offleo uml
call f'*r his money and do what he pleases with
it. If ho happens to die before hand his wife
Oj- his mother or his sister can draw it for him.
Every young man should take out two policies
if ho cun, one for life and on 3 on tho endow
ment plan—one for others and one for himself.
It is a comfortable thing for a man of forty-five
to have u p.tid up policy that is ('rawing divi
(lends, his still more comforting for a widow
or a sister or child to inherit both policies if ho
should die before ho is expected to.
Insuring one's life for thobere tit of others
the most unselfish act that a young man can
perform. No selfish or though floss young man
will do it. It is li ;o looking death square in
tho faco, hut lew young men will do that. It is
next thing to getting religion. It. is a con
fession of mortality. But death is a fact and if
the young man would stop and and think, ho
would take a bus ness view of it and leave tho
ligion out of tho question. Lot him pondei
upon the fuot that not half of Dm men at twon
ly.fivo live to ho fifty■--Dint half his life is al
ready gone, that the chances are against him,
that he will leave somebody behind him who
has been dependent upon him and may suffe
without him. Then ir lie is a reasonable inai
ho mu t admit that he ought to insure his life,
while it costs so litilo and not waituntil it costs
much.

be made good.
That tiro may never come, but boro is a case
here death is sure to come a death which ia
otn cases of manhood deprives Mm family of
one of its pillars -perhaps its chief support,
and yet how few of tlio young married men itv«
ariying a policy for the wife and children,
hey are jus- going it blind. It looks like do
lying fate for a young man whoso only income
h h wages to live a day without a police,
m't i ffonl to. Even the rich insure tLeir lives
< an investment. In fact if I could make tho
■ws 1 would r ouira every young man t take
policy for at h ust $1,000 when h upp ms for
marriage license. It he couldn't raise $18 or
$30 to protect the gir h- loved for one year, he
IS not fit ten to have In r nor ill ton to got fitten.
If he begun with a policy ho would be very apt
krej) ou. The ordinary should be prohibited
from is uing a license unless the policy wai
.luced snd was approved by him. A young
married mau has no right to die and leave n
••idow and one or two children helpless. A
)iiev of one or two thousand dollurs would be
good document to court, on.
Every mau should pay bis own funeral (x-

w months ago a young man of our town died
vav from homo. His life was devoted to his
other and his sisters, hut it was not insured

have been a grievous burden. How easily lit
could have carried a policy of $1,000. out ol
wh ch he could have been buried and left c

I wonder how ir.any of those traveling young
men carry a policy for their mother of their
sisters- Filial love is a sweet and blessed thing
1 iho occasional visits of tho boys to their
homes in a comfort and joy, but when (loath
comes untimely and unexpected tho bereaved
can’t live on sorrow. I was ruminating
airout ull this because one of our boys has sent
home a dn pi cate of a policy that lie has taken
out for-ihe benefit of his sisters. He will keep
it alive as long as ho lives. Ho will do more
He will look after ami protect thorn when Die
parents have pass d away. That is a parent’s
great concern—what will become of the girls—
tho unmarried ones—when wo aro dead. Will
they have to live in penury or accept a horrm
with kindred -a home where they aro prehaps
not wanted and where tho f» cling of depend-
is ever bef ro them. And ho I thought I
would v rite a letter and encourage young men

vho imve been to the world’s fair on a brother’s
bounty and that is a I right, but it will bo still
tter to take a life policy for their benefit, an i
keep the premium punctually paid. Twenty-
years ago I earned one in tho old Knicker-
icr for the benefit of my wife, but tho com
pany failed and I quit in disgust. But they
don’t fail now. Thero are pleny of good com-
aides solid as a rock and there is no excuse,

that you will agree with me. Let us all tak-

How P’rogs Hibernate.
As to their condition during tin: win 1
lor se:o( n our cold-blooded Iriends pass j
the timo in a comfortable wav. in a state I
of torpor called hibernation.
The place f-elected scorns anything but
comfortable-—a tomb in the mud in tho j
margin or bottom of a pond. Hibernn- j
tion is a state of entire or partial torpor, i
ft seems like sleep, but is proved to be ,
not really the same. In torpor, thel
brenthing, circulation <»f I he blood, di
geTion are almost entirely stopped; but
In shop these ull go on. An animal is !
awakened from sleep by a mere jostling;
while in complete torpor it will not be
roused, even if subjected to treatment j
usually fatal.
Tho frog is sustained, when ho ceases
to eat, by lobes of fat stored inside his j
body for that purpose. T his is .mother
method of meeting privation which our
amphibious friends share with the camel,
whose lumps sue little else but stores of '
fat.
As lo diet, the general rule is that j
frogs eat, or are. eaten by, almost every-!
thing. Slugs, water-bugs, grasshoppers |
and other insects are specially relished.
There is a peculiaraming^rncnt for catch- '
ing insects. Tho tongue is hung by tho j
outer instead of the inner end, so as to
flap forward and la.ek like a flash, and
entrap its prey.
It happens that insects, curiously
enough, disappear for the winter and re
appear in the spring at, just the times
when the frogs hibernate and come out
again. Bullfrogs indulge also in small
lish, field-mice and ducklings. They
will often eat their own tadpoles. While
in captivity they will learn to cat almost
any food given them.—[ St. Nicholas.
