nearly nine years, and less then two months

to the statements made by Mrs. Archer and

' Text: “And
ho made the laver of brass,
and the foot of it was of brass, of the look¬
ing glasses of the women assembling.”—
Exodus xxxriil., 8.
We often hear about the gospel in John,
and the gospel in Luke, and the gospel in
Matthew, but there is just as surely a gospel
of Moses And a gospel of Jeremiah, and a
gospel n| David. In other words. Christ is
kh ment certainly in to be found its the Old Testa¬
as the New.
When the Israelites were marching
through the . wilderness they carried Ibeir
church with them. They called it tho taber¬

times asked. Where did all that precious ma¬
terial come from? It is not my place to fur¬
nish the precious stones, it is only to toll
'•hat they were there.
f wish now more especially to speak of tho
layer that Was built in tho midst of that
ancient tabernacle. If was <a great basin from
which the priests washed their hands and
leot. Tho water camo down from the basin
in spouts nnd passed nway after tho
cleansing. This laver or basin was made
out of the looking glasses of tho vfonleil
who had frequented the tabornaolo and
who had made those their contributions to
tho ftirniture. These looking glasses were
not made of glass, but they were brazen.
The brass was of a very superior quality and
polished until it reflected easily the features
of those who looked itito it, so that this

have to s ty that this is the only looking
glass in which a man cau see himself ns ho
is. There are some mirrors that flatter the
features and make you look better than you
arc. Then there are other mirrors that dis¬
tort your features and make yon look worse
than you arc, but I want to tell yod that
this looking-glass of the gospel shows a man
just as he Is. When the priests entered the
aheient tabernacle, one glance nt the
burnished side of this iaver showed
them their need of cleansing, So this
gospel shows tho soul its need of divine
washing. “All have sinned and como short
of f ho glory of God.” That is one showing.
“All we, like sheer, have gone astray.”
That is another showing. “From the
crown of tho head to tho solo of the foot
there is no health In us.” That is another
showing. The world calls these defects,
imperfections, or eccentricities, or erratic
behavior, but tho gospel or “wild oats,” or “high living,”
calls them sin, transgression,
fifth—the abominable thing that God hates.
It was jnsl on > glance nt that mirror that
made Haul cry out, “Oh, wretched man
that I am, who shall deliver mo from
tho body of this death?” and that made
David cry out. “Purge me with hyssop, and
l shall bo clean,” nnd that made Martin
Luther cry out, “Oh, my sins, my sins!” I
am 1 not talking about bad habits. You nnd
do not need nny Bible lo tell us that bad
habits aro wrong, that blasphemy and evil
speaking nre wrong. But lam talking of
a sinful nature, thesouree of all bad thoughts
as well as of all bad actions, fi’ho Apostle
Paul calls their roll in the first*chapter of
Romans. They are a regiment of death en
<• imping around every heart, holding it in a
tyranny of God from which nothing but the grace
can deliver it.
has Here, for instance, is ingratitude. Who
not been guilty of that sin? If a man
hand us a glass of water wo say, “Thank
you," but for tho 10,000 mercies that wo are
every how little.exproaskm day receiving from tho hand of God
slaked, for of gratitude—-for thirst
shine, hunger fed, for shelter, and sun¬
and sound sleep, and clothes to wear,
how little thanks! I suppose there are
been men fifty years of ago who have never vet
down on their knees iu thanksgiving to
God for His goodness. Besides that ingrati¬
tude of our hearts there is pride—.vno has
not felt it?—pride that will not submit to
God ; Amt wants Us own way—a nature that
prefers wrong sometimes instead of right;
that prefers to wallow instead of rise up.
if you could catch a glimpse of your natur¬
al heart before God, you would cry out in
amazement, and alarm. The very first thing
fills gospel does is to cut down our pride
and self sufficiency. If a man does not feel
his loss and ruined condition before God. he
does not want any gospel. I think tho roa
son that there are so few conversions in this
day ing is fa because tho tendency of tho ttiey preach¬
to make men believe that aro
pretty good anyhow—quite clever, only
wanting a little fixing up, a few touches of
divine grace, and then you will be all right
—instead of proclaiming the broad, deep
truth that Puyson and Whitefleld thundered
to a race trembling on the verge of infinite
nnd eternal disaster. "Now.” says some one,
“can this really bo true? Have we all gone
astray? Is there no good in us?” Iu
Hampton Court I saw a room where the
lour walls were covered with looking
glasses and it made no difference which
way you looked you saw yourself. And so it
is m this gospel of Christ. If you oneo step
within its full precincts, you will find your
whole character reflected, every feature oC
moral deformity, every spot of moral taint.
If I understand the word of God, its first an¬
nouncement is that we are lost.
looking Glory be to God, I find that this laver of
glasses was filled with fresh water
every morning, nnd tho priest no sooner
looked on its burnished side ami saw his
need of cleansing than he washed and was
clean—glorious Lord Jesus, type of the gospel of my
that first shows a man his sin
and then washes it all nway!
I want you to notice that this laver iu
which the priest washed—the Inver of look¬
ing glasses —was filled with fresh water every
morning. The servants of the tabernacle
brought the water in buckets and poured it
into this laver. So it is with the gospel of
Jesus Christ. It has a fresh salvation every
day. It is not a stagnant pool filled with ac¬
cumulated [corruptions. It is living water,
which is brought from the eternal
rock to wash away the sins of yesterdn;, of
one "I moment ago. “Ob,” says some one,
was a Christian twenty years ago!’
That does not mean anything to me. Y*hat
are you now? We are not talking, my
brother, about pardon ten years ego, but
about pardon now. a fresh salvation.
If I want to find out how a friend feels to¬
ward me, do I go to the drawer and find
some old yellow letters written to me ten or
twelve years ago? No. I go to the letter
that was stamped tne day before yesterday
in the postofflee, and I find how he' feels tc
ward me. It is not in regard to old com¬
munications we had with Jesus Christ. It 1,
the communications we have now. Are we
not in sympathy with Him this morning,
and is He not in sympathy with
us? Do not spend so much of
vour time iu hunting in the
wardrobe for tho old. wornout shoes of
Christian profession. Come this morning
anl take the glittering robe of Christ's
righteousness from the Saviour’s hand. You
say Saviour’s you were plunged in the fountain of the
mercy a quarter of a century ago.
That is nothing to me. I tell you to wash
now in this laver of looking glasses and
have your soul made clean. -
1 notice also In regard to this laver of
looking glasses spoken of in the text that the

water came down in spouts, so that,
without leaving nnv filth in the basin, the
priests washed both hands and feet. So the
gospel of Jesus Christ must touch the r»ry
extremities of our moral nature.
A man cannot fence off a small
)U»rt of his soul and say. “Sow.
this is to ho a gar leu in which I will bav»«
all the fruits and flowers of Christian char¬
acter. while outside it shall be the devil’s

or none. I sometimes bear people s.tv. “He

he is not a good man.

when you can go info a shop and falsely tell

I remark, farther, that this Javcr of look¬
ing glasses spoken of in tiro text was a very
large iaver. I always thought, from the
fact that sc many vrashel there, and nlso
from the fact that Solomon afterward, when
he copied that laver iii the temple; built it
on a very large scale, that it was large, anl
so suggestive of the gospel of Jesus Christ
and salvation by Him—vast in its provisions.
The whole world may come an l wash in this
layer and be clean.
When our Civil War had pissed, the Gov¬
ernment of the United States made procla¬
mation o'Dar.lon to the common soldiery in
the Confederate armv, but not to the chief
soldiers. Tne gospel of Chr'st does not act

It is a vast laver. Go and toll everybody

not adorned with palm branches, but with
the wool of the cross: not with the
cherubim, but with the wings of the Holy
Ghost, and around its great riin all tho race
mav come an I wash in the molten son,
But t dolled also, id regard to this lav >r of
looking glasses sooked of in the text, that
ihe washing in it was imperative and not
optional. When the priests came into the
tabarnnoUi (you will firvl this in the thirtieth
chapter of Exvlus). God tells them thaMliay
must wash in that laver or die. Th » priest
might have s tid i “Otn’t I wash elsewhere?
I washed in the layer at, home; and now von
want me id wash here.” God says: “No
matter 'whether or not you havo washel
before. Wash in this inver or die.”
“But,” says the priest, “there is water iust
as clean as this. Why won’t that do?”
“Wash here,” says God, “or die.” go it is
with the gospel of Christ. It is imperative.
There is only this alternative—keep our sins
.and perish, or wash them away and live,
have But, says made some one, “Why eoul l not Go 1
more ways to heaven than one?”
I do not know but He could have made half
a dozen. I know Hd made but one. Yod
say, “Why not have a long line of boats
running from here to heaven?” I cannot
say, but I simply know that there is
only one boat. You say, “Are there not
trees as luxuriant as that on 0 ilvary, more
luxuriant, for that had neither bu is nor
blossoms, it was stripped and barked?”
Yes, yes, there have been taller trees than
that and more luxuriant, but the only path
to heaven is under that one tree. Instead
of quarreling because thankful there are not more
ways, let us be to Go l there is
oue, one uamegivon unto men whereby we
cau be saved, one laver in which all the
world may wash. So you son what a radiant
gospel this is I preach. I do not know how
a man can stand stolidly and present it. for
it is such an exhilarant gospel. It is not a
mero whim or caprice. It is life or death.
It is heaven or hell. You come before your
child, You and you havo a present in your hand.
put your hands behind your back and
say i “Which hand will you take? In one
hand there is n treasure; In the other
there is not.” The child blindly chooses.
But God ohr Father does not do that
wav with u^. He spreads out both hands
and says : “Now this shall be very plain.
In (hat hand are pardon and peace and life
and the treasures of heaven. In that hand
are punishment and sorrow and woe.
Choose, choose for yourselves!” “He that
belioveth and is baptized shall bo saved, but
he that belioveth not shall be damned.”
An artist in his dreams saw such a splendid
dream of tho transfiguration of Chist that -
he awoke and seized his pencil and said,
“Let mo paint this and die." Ob, I have
seen tho glories of Ciirist! I have beheld
something of the beauty of that great sacri¬
fice ou Calvary, and I have somotimos felt I
would be willing to give anything if I might
just sketch before you the wonders of
that sacrifice. I would like to do it while I
Jive, and I would like to do it when I die.
“Let me paint this and die.” He comes
along, weary and worn. His face wet with
tears. His brow crimson with blood, and He
lies down on Calvary for you. No, I mis¬
take. Nothing was as comfortable as that.
A stone on Calvary would have made a soft
ing pillow for the dying head of Christ. Noth¬
so comfortable as that. Ho does not lie
down to die: He stands up to die, Hisspike
hands outspread as if to embrace a world.
Oh. what a hard cud for those feet that had
traveled all over Judmi on ministries of
mercy! What a hard end for those hands
that had wiped away tears aid bound up
broken hearts 1
And that is all for you ! Oil, can you not
love Him? Come around this iavet, old and
young. It is so burnished you can see your
sins and so deep you can wash them all awav.
O mourner, here bathe your bruised sou 1 ,
and, sick one. here cool your hot temples in
this lave. ! Peace ! Do riot cry any more,
dear sou.! Pardon for all thy sins, comfort
for all thy afflictions. Tho black cloud that
hungthunieringover Sinai has floated above
Saviour’s Calvary and burst into the shower of a

I saw j:i Kensington Garden a picture of

the mouth cf that cannon. So the artist
had represented it—a most suggestive
thing. Then I thought how the war be

instead of the announeeaient, “The

words. "My peace I give unto thee.” and
amid the batteries ot the law that had once

villagers. He says:
I noticed then what extraordinary
effects colors produce oH those wh<55©
eyes are unaccustomed to tiled; A
man in the crowd would get excited,
open his eyes wide and show his teeth
every time I happened to touch with
my brush the cobalt blue on my pal¬
ette; Other colors had not the same
effect. His eyed were tiontinually fixed
on the blue, anxiously oTaitiilg fof the
brush to dip into it, and this would
send him into fits of merriment.
I squeezed some blue paint from a
tube on the palm of his hand, and he
nearly went off his head with delight.
He jumped about and yelled afid then
rau some distance and squatted on the
sand, still in admiration of the blue
daub on his hand, and still grinning at
intervals with irreplessible enjoyment.

Monarch of Telescoped.
A San Francisco, Cal., special says:
Ex-Senator James G. Fair is inter¬
ested iu a tclescopo building project
which may result in the construction
of the greatest star magnifier the world
has ever seen.
The instrument will not only bring
distant planets nearer than tho great
equatorial at Lick observatory, but it
will permit as mauy as fifty persons to
use it at the same time. The instru¬
ment has been perfected by Professor
George, formerly director of the as
tronimical station at Melbourne, but
now in the Paris observatory.
There he has worked on his new
telescope, which will have no tube.
It will be a reflector with n mirror
twenty feet in diameter. The cost
will not be more than $100,000, yet it
will have ten times tho light-giving
power of the Lick Observatory glass.
Mr. McGeorge, when ho had perfected
his plans, began limiting for a million¬
aire patron. Ho wrote to an old friend
in this city, Dr. McLean, and gave
him an outline of his plans, McLean
saw ex-Senator Fair and the California
capitalist was so much e-truck with tho
idea that he offered to advance money
to build the telescope and mount it in
the Lick Observatory. The plans is to
perfect the glass here and then take it
to the Paris exposition, whore it would
soon pay for itself.
A Beautiful Thing.
The lady in her elegant victoria
drove up to the great dry goods store,
and, stepping daintily out, sho walked
into the busy placo. Approaching a
wcary-looking girl at one of the coun¬

“What timo do you got off duty?”
“Usually at 6, madam,” replied the
astonished girl, “but today at 5.”
“Don’t you get very tired, working
so long?”
“Yes, madam; but I must work or
starve.”
“Well, will you let me take you for
a drive of an hour, after you are
through today? I am sure it will do
you good. ”
The girl knowing tho wealth and
social position of the lady, blushed
with pleasure and sho was only too
glad to accept the invitation so polite¬
ly and kindly extended, and tho Jady,
with a cherry smile aud bow, walked
out.
Then the man who dreamed this
woke up and wondered how tho mis¬
