They arc the present that Jacob f 'nds tOffnin
the KOo<l will of bis offended brotlinr. That
night Jacob halls by 1I10 brook Jabbok. But
there is no rest fortho weary man, no shining
bidder to l<«t the angels down into his dream,
but a llyre • combat, that lasts until tho moru-
in^, with nn unknown visitor. They each
try to throw* 1110 other. Tho unknown visit
or, to reveal bis superior power, by a touch
wrenches Jacob's thigh hone from Itssocket,
j' Tlmps mnlmiii ' him for life. As on tlio
moriiln * s»ky the elusti*rs oT purple cloud be-
qin to ilpnn Jacob sees It is an angel with
whom ho has boon contending, and not one
of his brother's coadjutors. “Let mo go,”
erics tho nngol, lifting lilmsolf up into in-
cr.v-Blng liglit, “The day hro.ikoth 1”
You see. in the Itrst place, that do 1 allows
go>l p »op|o poMii'tlmes to get Into aterrlhlo
struggle. Jacob was a goo l njan, hut hero
ho is loft alone iu tho midnight to wrestle
with a tremendous Influence by the brook
•Tnbbok. For Joseph, a pit: for Daniel, a
w-ld beast den ; for I) ivld, dethroQQtnont and
exile; for Johu the Bai'tisq a wilderness
diet and tin* e\c mi'loner's ax; for 1’etor, a
prison ; for Paul, shipwreck , for John, deso
late Patino*: for Vushti, most insulting
cruelty ; for Jo lephlne, tiaiiishuiout; for Mrs.
Sigourney, the agony of a drunkard’s wife ;
lor John Wesley, stones hurled by an infuri
ated mob; for Onthorino, tho Scotch girl, tho
drowning surges of the sea ; for Mr. Burns,
the buiToting of tho Montreal populace; for
John Brown, of Edinburgh, tho pistol shot
ot Lord (Maverhoupo; for Hugh MoKtiil, tho
scaffold ; for Latimer, thostako; for Christ,
tho cross. For whom tho rooks, tho gibbets,
tlio guillotines, tho thumbscrews? For tho
sons and daughters of tho J.-ord Go.l Al
mighty. 80:110 one said to a Christian rin
former, “Tho world Is .against you.” “ L’hou,'’
he replied, “1 am against tho world.”
1 will go further mid say that every Chris
tian has his struggle. This man had hi*
combat hi Wall street; this one on Broad
street ; tliis one on Fulton street ; this 0110 on
Chestnut street ; this one on Stuto street;
this one on Lombard street -, this one on tho
bourse. With financial misfortune 3*011 have
had tho ml blight wrestle, ltodhot disasters
have dropped into y«ur store from loft to
collar. What you bought you could not soli.
Whom you I rusted He |. Tho help you ex
pect od would not eo ne. Some giant panic,
wit li long arms and grip like death, took
hold of you iu an awful wrestle from which
you have not yet escap 'd, an l it is uncer
tain whether it will throw you or you will
throw it.
Here is another soul in slrqgglo with some
bad tippet ito. He know not how stoaltlilly
It Was growing upon him. O110 hour be
Woke up. ilosai ), “For the sake of my
soul, of my family, and of mv children, tin l
of my God, I must stop this I” And, behold,
lie foun l himself alone by tho brook Jpb-
bok, and it was midnight, 'l’hal ovil Appe
tite seized upon Jiifii, and ho -seized upon it,
and. oh, tho horror of tho eonfltot l When
once a bad habit has aroused itself up to do
fctroy a man and the man lias sworn that, by
tho help of tlio utarnal Go 1 ho will destroy
It, all h mv mi draw* itself out In a long liue
ot light to look from above, an l hell
bt ret cues Itself in myrmidons of spitoto look
up Irom beneath. I have seen men rally
themselves for such a struggle, and they
have bitten their lips and uliuched thoir
lists and crlu.l, with a hlooil red oarnest-
ir ss and a raiu of scalding tears, “God
help me I”
From u wrest 10 with luihlt I have soon men
fall back detente I. C illin j for no help, but
relying on I huir own resolutions, they have
come into the struggle, mil for a time it
Huemed as if they were getting tlio upper
hand of their haoit, but that habit r.illte l
again Its inferual power an 1 llftol a soul
from its stan ling, and with a fore : borrowed
from the pit liurlu l it into mt r darkness,
First I saw tho auctioneer's mallet fall on
tho pictures an 1 music il instruments an ltho
rieli upholstery of his family parlor. After
awhile i saw him fall into tho ditch. Thou,
lu the midnight, when tlio children v/ore
dreaming their sweetest dreams and Gliris-
Hun households are si lout with slumber, an
gel watched, I heard him give the sharp
shriek that followed tho stab of his own
potilur I. Ho fell from an honored social p e
s “on , he fell from 11 family circle of which
1 cue!) lie was the grandest attraction; ho fell
( from tlio house ol God, at whose alters ho
I had boon consecrated; he fell—forever 1
j But, thank Go.l, i have often seen a hotter
termination than 1t1.1t.
I have .seen men prepare themselves for
; fiu vi a wrestling. They laid hold of Gel’s
help when they went into combat. The giant
haoit, rogtilo.i by the cup ot many tonntn
turns, canto out strong mi l dollaut. ’I'my
cline.led. Tuero w re the writlilngs an l
distortions of afoariil snuggle. But the
old giant begun to w.iv-v, mi I, at last, In the
midnight alone, with none hut Go I to wit-
lies*, by the brook Jabbok, the giant fell,
uud the triumphant wrestler broke the darit-
ness with the cry, “I'minks bo unto UoJ.
who g'veth im tlio victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.” Tli re is a widow’s heart
that first was d oso I a tod by bereavement and
since by the anxieties an 1 trials that earn*?
in the Mipport of a family.
It in a sad thing fo see a man contending
for a livelihood under disadvantages, hut to
; »co a delicate woman, with helpless little
i ones at her back, fighting the giants of pov
erty and sorrow, is moat affecting. It was a
, humble home, and pa-s*r.sby knew not that
' within those four walls weuj displays o!
i courage more admirable than Those of Hun-
j nib/il crossing the Alps, or the pass of 1’her-
! mopylm or Bulaklava, where “into the jaws
i of death rode the six hundred.”
These heroes had the whole world to cheer
I them on, but there were none to applaud tho
st ruggle in Hie humble borne. She fought for
bread, for clothing, for fire, for shelter, with
■ aching head, mi l weak side, and exhausted
i strength, through tho long night by tho brook
i Jabbok. Could it bo that none would givo
i her help? H id God forgotten to be gracious?
No, contending soul! Tho midnight riir is
full of wings coming to tho rescue. She
beers it now in tho sough of the night wind,
in tho ripple ol tho brook Jabbok—the prom
ise made so long ago ringing down the sky,
“Thy fatherless children, f will preserve
thorn alive, and let thy widows trust fn Mol”
Home one said to a very poor woman,
j “Ho’.v is it that in such distress you keep
j cheerful?” She said : “f do it by what I call
' cross prayers When f had my rent to pay
1 and nothing to pay it with, and bread to buy
I and nothing to buy it with. I used to sit down
md cry. But now I do not got dis lotiragod.
, If I go along the street, when 1 come lo a
j corner of the street I say. ‘The Lord help
1 me.' 1 then go on until I come to another
crossing of the street, and again I say, ‘The
| Lor i help me !’ And so I utter a prayer at
1 every crossing, and since I have got Into the
I habit of saying these ‘cross prayers’ I have
i been able to keep up my courage.’
Learn again from this subject that people
eometimea are surprised to fin 1 out that what
they havTbcen struggling with in the dark
ness is really an ‘ angel o? blessing.” Jacob
found in the morning that this strange per
sonage was not an enemy, but a Go 1 dis
patched messenger to promise prosperity for
Lieu and for his children. And so many a
line, at the close of his trill, has found out
that he has been trying to throw down his
own blessing. If you are a Christian mail, I
will go back in your history and find that the
grandest things that have over happened tq
you have l>oon your triads. Nothing short of
scourging, imprisonment nn 1 shipwreck
could have made Paul nWmt ho was.
When David was Hoeing through tho wil
derness pursued by his own son, ho was bo-
lug prepared to booomo the sweet singer of
Israel, Tho pit an 1 the dungeon were the j
best schools nt which Jojeph over graduated.
The hurrlemo that ups * tho tent and killed I
Job's children prop irol tho man of Ua to |
write tlio maguUbiont povn that has as- 1
toundud tho ages. Tiiero Is no way to get •
•lie wheat out ot the straw but to thrash it. j
There is no way to purify tho gold but to ‘

No one was ever more glad to seo tho morn

and Christians to cry out with this angel ol
the text, “Tho day bronkoth.” Tho world’*
prospects are brightening. The ahuroh ol
Christ is rising up in 11* strength to go forth
“fair as the moon, clear us the huu nnd terri
ble as an army with banners.”
Chip your hands, all ye people, the day
bronkoth, The bigotries of the earth arc
perishing. The time was when we were
told that If We wanted to get to heavou we
must bo immersed or sprinkled, or we must
believe In tho perseverance of the saints, or
In falling away from grace, ora liturgy or
no liturgy, or they must be Calvinists or
Arminlnns In order to reaoh heaven. Wo
have all come to confess now that these nro
nonessenl ials In religion.
During ray vacation ono summer I was In
a Presbyterian audience, and K was Sacra
mental day. and with grateful heart I re
ceived tho Holy Communion. On the n'*xt
Habbath I was in a Motho list church and sat
at a love least. Oil tho following H ibbnth I
was In an Episcopal church and knelt at tho
alter and received tho consecrate l bread. I
do not know which service I enjoyed tho
most. “I bolinvo in the communion of salats
and In the life everlasting.” “The day
breakol h.”
As I look upon this nu li ’nce I h *o many
who have passed through waves of trouble
that came up higher than their gir lie. In
God’s numo t proclaim Bess at ion of hostili
ties. You shall not go away saddened an I
broken-hearted, God will lift your burden.
Go I will bring your dead to life. Go 1 will
stanch tho heart's bleeding. I know Ho will.

Lord pities you. Tho pains of earth will
end. Tho tomb will burst. Tlio <loa I will

ening sky. Tlio gates of the east begin to
swing open. Tho day brOakoth,
Luther and Meluiichthon were talking to
gether gloomily about the prospects or tlio
church. They could see no hopes of deliver
ance. After awhile Luther got up ami sahl
to Mahinchihon ; “Como, Philipp, let ns sing
the forty-sixth psalm of David, ‘Got is our
refuge and strength, a very pleasant help in
trouble. Therefore will net we fear, though
the earth lie removed uud though the moun
tains bo carried into tlu4 midst of tho sen:
though tlio waters thereof roar an 1 bo troa-

Death to many, nay to nil, Is a struggle

Apprehension that tlio Struggle NN ill
Be a Long One.
Tho coal miner’s strike iu Birming
ham Ala., district seems no nearer its
close than when it began three weeks
ago. Both strikers and operators re
main firm. Tho continuation of the
strike much longer threatens to cause
the closing down of a number of in
dustries, on nceouiit of the shortage in
the coal supply. Already a number of
coke ovens have banked, and two fur
naces are preparing to blow out. It
looks as if tin* struggle will be a long
one, and while all is quiet, apprehen
sion is felt, because every duv marks a
reduction in the food supply of the
strikers.
The Road to be Extended.
The bondholders’ committee of the
Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
Railtoad Company decided to reor
ganize and take the property out of
the receiver's hands. It was also de
cided to extend the road beventy-four
miles into Savannah. One million
dollars has been pledged by a syndi
cate composed of New York, Baltimore
and Richmond bankers for these pur
poses,

that were delivered.
A sensation has boon caused at St.

Colonel W. G. P. Breckinridge de
livered his opening address at Lexing
ton, Ky., Saturday, in the campaign
for re-election to congress from the
Ashland district. The audience to
which ho spoke consisted of people
from all portions of the state, there
being special trains from many points
outside the district.
A London cable dispatch says: Tlio
reduction of tho government’s majority
in tho house of commons on nearly
every important division must he ac
cepted from all but the most extreme
partisan point of view as an omen of
an early dissolution, and few persons
are to be found who regard the situa
tion iu any other light.
A Dos Moines, Ln., dispatch says:
The proposition to float Kelly’s army
down the Mississippi river on 150
rafts, each bearing ten men, is still
under consideration. It is feared that
Kelly will not be able to lead more
than 800 of men out ol the city with
him when ho does go, and that tho
other 600 or more will be turned loose
on the city and county.
Heavy consumers of coal in St.
Louis, Mo., who hud feared serious
results from a prospective famine in
that much-needed article, are consid
erably relieved by a telegram received
by Assistant General Manager Simp
son, of the Consolidated Coal Compa
ny, stating that both mines Nos. 6 and
7, in Staunton, 111., were iu full oper
ation again and that Hu* coal strike in
that section of Illinois is drawing to a
close.
The severest, storm known for years
swept over Iowa City, Saturday altvr-
110011. In fifteen minutes more tlmu
$200,000 damage was done to buildings
p.nd contents. The damage in the
country is very great. I lie storm
came from tho west, preceded by dark
clouds with vivid streaks of lightning
and muttcrings of thunder, Hail
stones fell thick and fast, crushing
through plate glass windows, peppering
roofs and flooding stores and dwellings.
The indications are that the miners’
strike in Alabama will bo complete in
the Montgomery section. The Eagle
miners will probably be the last to go
out. Winifred miners, are workiu
but say that if tho icst go out, they
will too. It. is believed that if the Po
cahontas region would go out the ope
rators to a man would shut down,
strike or no strike, and wait to force
better prices, making yearly contracts
on them, and then open lip, paying
the miners better prices.
Tho Belgian Exposition.
Tho world’s exposition has been
formally opened at. Antwerp by the
king and queen of Belgium. The
weather was delightful and the display
of troops and gorgeous official cos
tumes was magnificent. The features
of the exhibition are a reproduction of

TRADE NOTES.
Business Review of the East Week by
Dim Ai. Co. *
R. G. Dun & Co’s Weekly Review
of Trade says; “It is now, as it has
been for nearly a year, the amazement
of intelligent observers that tho United
States suffers so little from reverses
which other landsshaae, but which fall
more heavily hero than any where else.
The past week has seen events which
would suffico to call or to explain
much disaster. Strikes of nearly all
bituminous coal miners nnd coke work
ers, with numerous riotH, strikes of
many thousand men in other employ
ments, stoppage of many manufactur
ing works in consequence, arrest of
traffic on several great railroads
by lawless proceedings and tho tramp
ing of discontented men, in all num
bering several thousand, towards tho
national capital in tho hope of con
trolling legislation ; tho lowest price
ever known for wheat and almost tho
lowest prices ever known for commod
ities as a whole, exports of $5,400,(HID
gold, instead of abnormally cheapened
products and the fall of the. treasury
gold reserve below the $100,000,000
limit, are significant of widespread
difficulty. Yet tho volume of business
is but 13.3 per cent, less than a year
ago. Iu some directions signs of im
provement appear even now and the
sublime faith of the people in their
future is shown in the generul belief
that strikes and disorders will quickly
disappear.
“It is also important, that prices of
iron and steel products promptly ad
vanced iu answer to the stoppage of
Homeworks through strikes, indicating
that the recent improvement on the
apparent demand was of a substantial
rinmietor. At Pittsburg uud Chicago,
Philadelphia and New York, prices
have generally advanced, though ir
regularly, and in bar iron quotations
appear n shade weaker. Bessemer pig
has advanced 75 cents to $1, steel bil
lets $1 to $1.50, and plates and struc
tural iron and steel and wire rods are
stronger. Many reason that the ad
vance may be maintained, at least for
a time, because cost will rise if the
strikes succeed, and if they fail, be
cause of tho demonstrated existence of
a demand substantially equal to the
full product of works thus far started.
“The money markets have not been
disturbed by the large outgo of gold,
which was taken mainly from the
treasury through redemption of notes.
Tho continued flow of unemployed
money hither is not a sign of health
nor the outgo of gold instead of wheat
at 61 cents, or cotton at 7-M cents.
Tho demand for commercial loans of
the better class does not increase, but
there are more numerous applications
for loans on questionable paper from
the interior. Custom receipts were
only $10,176,691 in April, agaiust$15-
418,038 last year, and are not likely
to increase while tariff changes are
pending. Exports of products are de
clining, though in April 9.2 per cent
larger than last year, hi d the dt crease
in imports is about 33 per cent.
“The most encouraging sign is the
murked decrease iu liabilities ot firms
failing, which were 011/ $1,443,144 for
the last week of April, und tor four
weeks $8,366,587, of which $3,722,220
were of manufacturing nnd $4,644,367
of trading concerns. The amount of
liabilities at tl e south was $2,919,419,
ugainst $3,111,032 iu eastern und
$2,692,257 iu western states.
“Failures this week have been 233 in
the United States ugainst 216 last year
and 355 iu Canada against twenty-seven
last year,”
