Text: “Thou found art weighed in .”—Daniel the bal¬ ances , and art wanting v., 27 . Babylon was the paradise of architecture, and driven out from thence the grandest evi¬ buildings of modern times are only the dence of her fali The site having been selected for the city, two million men were employed in the rearing of her wails and the building of her works. It was a city trench sixty miles injcircumference. There was a all around the city from which the material for the building of the city had been each digged. side There were twenty-five gates on the city; between every two gates a tower <>f defense springing into the skies: from each gate on the one side, a street running straight tho ugh to the corresponding gate on the other side, so there were fifty streets branch fifteen miles long. Through the city ran a of the river Euphrates. This river some times overflowed its banks, and to keep it from the ruin of the city a lake was con¬ structed, into which the surplus water of this river would run during the time of freshets, and the water was kept in this artificial lake until time of drought, and then this water would stream down over the city. At either end of the bridge spanning the palace Euphrates mile there half was a palace—the other one palace a and a around, the seven and a half miles around. The wife of Nebuchadnezzar had been born and brought up in the country and in a mountainous region, and she could not bear this flat district of Babylon; and so, to please his wife. Nebuchadnezzar built in the midst of the city a mountain 400 feet high. This mountain was built out into terraces sup ported on arches. On the top of these arches a layer of fiat stones; on the top of that a layer of reeds and bituman; on the top of that two layers of bricks, closely cemented; ■ the top of that a heavy sheet of lead, and on the top of that the soil placed—the soil so dee]> that a Lebanon cellar had room to an¬ chor its roots. There were pumps worked by mighty machinery, fetching up the water from the Euphrates to this hanging garden, as it was called, so that there were fountains spouting Into the sky. Standing below and looking up in blossom, it must have seemed as if the clouds were or as though the sky leaned on the shoulder of a cedar All this Nebuchadnezzar did to please his wife. Well, she ought to have ieen pleased. I suppose she was pleased. would. If that would not please her nothing of There was in that city also tho temple Belus, with towers—one tower the eighth of a mile high, in which there was an observa¬ tory where astronomers talked to the stars. There was in that temple would an image, just fifty- one image, which cost what be our two million dollars. O what a city! The earth never saw any¬ thing like it, never will see anything like it. And yet I have to tell you that his it Princes is going to he destroyed, The King and are at a feast. They are all intoxicated. Pour out the rich wine into the chalices. Drink to tho health of the King. Drink to the glory of Babylon. Drink to a great future, A thousand Lords reel intoxicated The King, seated upon a chair, with vacant look, as intoxicated men will—with vacant look stared at the wall. But soon that vacant look takes on intensity,and it is an affright ’d look; and all the Princes begin to look aud wonder what is the matter, and they look at the same point on the wall. And then there drops a darkness into the room and puts out the blaze of the golden plate, and out of the sleeve of the darkness there comes around a finger— and a finger of fiery terror circling would write; circling around as though it sharp tip of and then it comes up and with flame it inscribes on the plastering “Weighed of in the the wall the doom of the King: The bang balances and found wanting of heavy fists against tho gates of the pal¬ ace aro followed by the breaking knives in of strike tho doors. A thousand quivering gleaming hearts. Now into a thousand throne Death is King, and ho is seated on a of corpses. In that hall there i» a balance lifted. God swung it. On one side of the balance are put Belshazzar's opportunities Bel on the other side of the balance are put shazzar s sins The sins come down His opportunities go up. Weighed in the bal ances—fou nd wan ti n g There has been a great deal of cheating in our country with false weights and nieas ures aiid balances, and the government, to change that state of things, appointed com¬ missioners whose business it was to stamp weights and measures and balance*, corrected. and a great deal of the wrong has been But still, after all, there is no such thing as a perfect balance on earth, The chain may break in or some way of the the equipoise metal may may be be clipped, a little or some disturbed. You cannot always depend upon earthly balances. A pound is not always a pound, and you pay for one thing and you get an¬ other; but in tho balance which is suspended and to the throne right, of God, a pound is is a pound, and right is and wrong wrong, a soul is a soul, and eternity is eternity. God has a perfect bushel an; l a perfect merchants peck weigh aud a perfect goods gallon. in the When then the Lord their wrong way, the weighs the goods again. If from imper¬ fect measure the merchant pours out what pretends to be a gallon of oil and there is less than a gallon, God knows it, and He calls upon His recording angel to mark it So much wanting in that measure of oil. ” The farmer comes in from the country, He has apples to sell . He has an imperfect measure. He pours out the apples from this imperfect measure. God recognizes it. He says to the recording angel Mark down su many pies too few—an imperfect measure.” may cheat ourselves and we may cheat the world, but we cannot cheat God, and in the great day of judgment it will be found out that what wo learned in boyhood weight at school is correct—that twenty-h undred make ft ton. and one hundred and twenty solid feet make a cord of wood. No moro, no less And a religion which does not take hold of this life as well as the life to come is no religiqn at all. But, mv friends, that is not the kind of balances I am to speak of to-day: that is not the kind of weights aud measures. 1 am to speak of that kind of bal¬ ances which can weigh principles, weigh and churches, weigh men, weigh nations, weigh worlds. “What!” you say, “is it table that our world is to be weighed?”. Yes. Why, you would think if God put on one side the balances suspended from the throne the Alps, and the Pyrenees, and the Hima¬ layas, and Mount Washington, and all the cities of the earth, they would erusii it. No, no. The time will come when God will sit down ou the white throne to see the world weighed, and ou one side will be the world’s opportunities, and on the other side the world's sins. Down wi ii go the sins and away will go the opportunities, and God will say to the messengers with the torch: “Burn that world i Weighed and found wanting!” God will weigh churches. He takes a great church. That great church, according He to the worldly estimate, must be weighed. minister puts it on one side the balances, and the and the choir aud the building that cost its hundred* of thousand* of dollars. He puts them on one side the balances On the othei side of that He jmte what that church ought to be. what its consecration ought to be. what its sympathy for the poor ought to be, what its devotion to ail good ought to be. That is on one side. That side comes down, aud the church, not l>eing able to stand the test rises in the balances. It does not make any difference about your magnificent thing—to ma¬ chinery. A church is built for one save souls. If it saves a few souls when it might save a multitude of souls. God will spew it out of His mouth. !Yeighed and founa wanting! So God estimates nations.

S.poleon Did X "Have I not enlarged the not kindle the glories of the Champs El vsee#’ Have I not adorned the Tuileries? Havel not built the gilded Opera House:-” Then God weighed that nation, and he put on one side of the scales the Emperor and the boule¬ vards, and the Tuileries, and the Champs Elysees, and the gilded Opera House, and on the other side he put that man’s abomination, that man's libertinism, that man’s selfishness, that man’s the godless brilliancy ambition.

My every day is a iaent. an<l you ami I to-day are being can massed, inspected, weighed. Here are the balances of the sanctuary They are lifted, and must all be weighed. Who will come, and be weighed first? Here is a moralist who volunteers. He is one of the most Well, upright men in the country lie comes. mv brother, get in, get into the balances now and be weighed. But as he gets into the balances, I say: “What, is that bundle you have along with you? ’ “Oh,” he says, “that is my reputation for goodness, and kindness, and charity, and generosity, aud kindliness generally.” “O my brother! we cannot weigh that; we are going to weigh you— you. Now, srand in the scales—you, “Yes,” the moralist. Paid your debts?” you say, “paid all my debts.” “Have you acted in an upright way in the community?'’ “Yes. • vt Have you been kind to the pool ■ Are you faithful in a thousand relations in life?” “Yes.” So or so good. But now before you get out of this scale I want to ask* you two or three questions “Have your thoughts always been right?” “No,” you say “no.” Put down one mark. “ Have you loved the Lord with all your heart, and souk and mind, and strength?” “No,” you say Make another mark. Come, now, be frank and confess that in ten thousand things you have come short—have you not? “ Yes.” Make ten thousand marks Come now, get me a book large enough to make the record of that moralist's deficits. My brother, stand in the scales, do not fly away from them. 1 put on your side tin* scales all the good deeds you ever did, all the kind words you ever uttered; but on the other side the scales I put this weight, which God says I must put there—on the other side the scales and opposite to yours I put. this vveight: “By the deeds of the law shall no flesh living be justified.” Weighed and found wanting. Still, the balances of the sanctuary are S'l- pendod and we are ready to weigh any here who come. Who shall be the next? Well, is a formalist.

Do you not know that men have gone to perdition with a catechism in their pocket?' “But,” says the man, “I cross myself often.” “Ah! that will not save you.” “But,” says the man. “I am sympathetic for the poor." “That will not save you.” Says the man. ‘J Fat at the communion table “That will not save you.” “But says tho man. “I have had my namt m the church records.” “That will not save you.” Rut I have been will a professoi of religion forty years.” side That the balances not savt you.

Oh! what a glorious hope. Will you ac¬ cept it this day? Christ making up for what you lack, Christ the atonement for all your sins. Who will accept Him? Will not this whole audience say: “I am insufficient. lam a sinner. I am lost by reason of mv trans grass’ons. but Christ has paid it all. Mv Lord, and mvGrod, my life, my pardon, my Heaven, Lord Jesus, I hail thee." Oil! if you could only understand the worth of that sacrifice which I have represented to you under a figure—if you could underfund the worth of that sacrifice, this whole audience would this moment accept Christ and be saved. We go a\\ av off, or back into history, to get some illustration by which we may set forth what Christ has done for us. We need not go so far. I saw a vehicle behind a run away horse dashing through the street, a mother and her two children in the carriage. The horse dashed along as though to hurl them to death, and a mounted policeman with a shout clearing the way, and the horse at full run, attempted to seize those runaway horses and to save a calamity, when liis own horse fell and rolled over him. He was picked up half dead. Why were our sympathies so stirred? Because he was badly hurt, and hurt for others. But I tell you to-day of how Christ, the Son of God, on the blood red horse of sacrifice, came for our rescue, and rode down the sky and rode unto death for our rescue. Are not your hearts touched? That was a sacrifice for you and for me. O Thou who didst ride on the red horse of sacri¬ fice! come this hour ami ride through this assemblage on the white horse of victory. A HERMIT S LOVE STORY. He Lost His Elide Because He Ling¬ ered at the Gaming Table. On the Winnebago Indian reserva¬ tion, about twenty miles down the Mis¬ souri River from Sioux City, dwells a hermit, whose history is of much in¬ terest. His name is Charles Khos, and he is forty-nine \etrsof age. He lives alone, not in a hut or 1 ave, but in a bole in the ground, having dug an apart¬ ment in the earth about sixteen feet square and ten feet deep from the sur¬ face to the floor. This is entered by a trap door which is only about two foot square, and which can not bo seen until a person is oh'So to it. His habitation is in a rough, wooded gully running back among the clay bluffs ol the Mis¬ souri River, and is very seldom visited by man.

His enemy was off liis guard and unable to defend himself, and David would rather meet an enemy, if he must be met, as he met the lion and the beat* and Goliath, in open fight, that the power of God might be manifest. There is nothing of the Spirit will of Christ in secret light. sayings or doings which not bear the K. The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my Master, the Lord's anointed.” Here is another view of the case; Saul was not acting like the anointed of the Lord should act. his life did not testify in that di¬ rection. but as to his office he was “the anointed of the Lord,” aud therefore respon¬ sible to God to act as such; and if he failed it was for the Lord and not for David to deal with him. Two If great practical thoughts God are presented here: we are children of by faith of Christ Jesus, then we have received the Spirit, and are anointed kings and pr tests unto God, and are responsible every da y to walk worthy of though our High Calling; and and on the other hand, failure t veil sm may be manifest in the lives of - anointed of the Lord, it is for their Lor nd not for their fellows to judge and chasten them. 7 . “So David stayed his servants with these words; * * * Saul rose tip out of the cave and went his way We may d very much bv kind words and the manifesto tion of a Christ-like spirit to hinder others from speaking against or touching in any way the anointed of the Lord. We should remember that it is written, Ho that touch eth you toueheth the apple of His eye.” (Zech. ii.. S.) Every redeemed one, however full of failure, is dear to God; even Israel, in all her sins, He called “the dearly beloved of His soul.” (Jer. xii., 7 .) Saul, rising up and going his way, unconscious of the loss of a part of his robe, reminds us that when we are not in the Lord’s way we may lose many things and yet be unconscious of it. 8. “ David * * * cried after Saul, say ing, ‘My Lord the King,’ * * * and stooped with his face to the earth.” Notwithstanding David's fears and ofttimes questionable con ‘M fc, here is a truly humble and forgiving spirit Whatever were his sins, his heart was in the main truth right with that God, which and his him fail ures tell us th* of he self wrote Verilv, every man at Ills best estate “Wherefore is altogether hearest vanity.’ thou (Ps, men’s xxxix., words. 5 .) 0 . saying.

J4 “After whom dost thou pursue After n dead clog, after a flea.” David was a8 harmless to Saul as a dead dog, for he had taken possession of him, fancied all manner of things against David, and his fancies were* helped by the liars wretched and slanderers about him. How many people live to-day who imagine that evil (hat is surely coming to them from this or diree tion, while the truth is that tho im aginary aource of evil is as harmless as a dead dog or a flea. 15. “The Lord he judge, •* * * and see and plead my cause and deliver mo out of thine hand,” “Judge nothing before tho time, until tho Lord judgment come.” ‘‘We of shall Christ.” all stand before the stmt “Every one of us shall give account of him¬ self to God,” Those are some helpful words of the Holy Spirit upon this matter from the New Testament. 1(>. “Saul said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.” There are many such words and tears nowadays, but they do not amount to anything. That they did not mean much from Saul at this time is evident from chap, xxvi, where we see him as hotly as ever pur¬ suing David to take his life. Saul had good occasion to weep, lor h<* had sinned greatly against David and against God; and it his tears had indicated true penitence, it had been well for him; but he seems to stand with Esau and Judas and others vvh r i lance needed to be reflated of, and whose sorrow was not heart deep. said David, Thou art “And he to m< a righteous than I. for tiiou hast revvard ed me g< i, whereas I liave rewarded thee evil These are true words from J8 s bp* and and if vou read to the end of the chanter words notice ail David no aud said, the and kingdom, especially and the if this about was the last we r heard of Saul, we might say Well, surely Saul is a changed man. tor he could not otherwise talk this v/ay.” But alas for the wickedness of our incurably deceitful hearts'- hi» words were true God.— words, Les¬ but liis heart w as not right with son Helper.
