Text: “The statutes of the Lord are right.”
—Psalm xix, 8.
Old books go out of date. When they were
written they discussed questions which were
being have discussed; they struck at wrongs which
tions long which ago ceara 1, or advocated instiui- j
excite not our interest. Were
thev books of history, the facts have been
gathered from the imperfect mass, better
classified and more lucidly presented. Were
they books of poetry, they were interlocked
with wild mythologies, which have gone up
from the face of the earth like mists at sun
rise. Were they books of morals, civilisation
will not sit at the feet of barbarism, neither
do we want Sappho, Pythagoras aud
Tully to teach us morals.” What do the
masses of the people care now for the
ander. pathos of Simonides, the gracefulness or the sarcasm of Men
or of Philemon, or
the wit of Aristophanes! Even the old books
we have left, with a few exception-.have but
very little effect upon our times, Books are
human; they have a time to be born, they

lives and died deaths of ignominy. Some

Ever aud anon there comes into your pos

its usefulness done, and with leathern bps it
seems to say: “I wish I were dead.” Mono

there is evidence that the Lord God Almighty,

wrote this book.
Suppose a book now to be written which
came in conflict with a great many things,
and was written by bad ir .n or impostors,
how long would such a book stand? It would
be scouted by every body. And I f ay if that
Bible had been an imposition; or if it had not
been written by the men who said they wrote
it; if it had been a mere collection of false
hoods, do you not suppose that it would have
been immediately rejected by the people? Paul, If
Job, and Peter, and Isaiah, and John and Jeremiah, imposters an i they
were
would have been scouted by generations and
nations. If that book has come down through
fires of centuries without a scar it is because
there is nothing iu it destructible. How

The Bible sa~s that Sodom and Gomorrah
were destroyed by tire and brimstone. ’’ Ab

positively absurd that they coni 1 have been
destroyed by brimstone. There is nothing in
the elements to cau-e such a shower Of death
as that.” Lieutenant Lynch—I think he was
the first man who went out on the discovery,
but he has been foLowed by many others—
Lieutenaat Lynch went out in explo convul- a lor

was right, the Bible that announced the
destruction of those cities, or the skeptic;
who for ages scoffed at it ?

about it, and saw it all about them every
bay; and in those underground vaults there
are vases still incrusted with the settlings of (
the wine. You see the vine did grow in
E^vpt, whether it grows there now or not.
Thus, vou see, that while God wrote the
Bible, at the same time He wrote this com
mentarv, that “the statutes of the Lord are
right,” on leaves of rock aud shell, b mnd in
clas’ s of metal, and lying on mountain table
and in the jeweled vase of the sea. Inauthen

Go 1 prepared the book for all clashes of
peo >le. For iustauee, little children would
reed the Bible, aud God knew that, so he
allows Mathew anil Luke to write sweet
stories about Christ with the doctors of the
law, and Christ at the well, and Christ at the
cross, so that anv little chil l can un ierstaui
them. Thou God knew that the agvl people
would want to rea l the book, so He allows
Solomon to compact a world of wisdom in
that Book of Proserbs. God knew that tie
historian would want to r ad it, and so he
allows Mose; to give the plain statement of
the Pentateuch. God knew that the poet
would want to read it, and so he allows
Job to picture the Heavens as a curtain,
and Isaiah, the mouutaius as weighed in
a balance, and the waters as held in the
hollow of the Omnipotent hand ; and God
touched David until in the latter part of
the Psalms he gathered a great choir
standing in the galleries above each other—
beast and man in the first gallery; above them,
hills and mountains: above them, fire and
hail and tempest; above them, sun an
moon and stars of light; and on the highest
gallery then standing arrays the hosts of angels; and
before tho great choir, reach¬
ing from the depths of ear li to the heights
of Heaven, like the leader of a great orches¬
tra, he lifts his hands, crying: “Praise ye the

want to read it, so He lots Kcokiel write of

Greenlanders would find much to interest

The Arabian would read it on his drome¬
sled, dary, trad the Laplander seated on the guarding swift
and the herdsman of Holland
the cattle in tho grass, and the Swiss girl re¬
clining amid Alniue crags. O, when I see
that the Bible is suited in stvle, exactly
suited, to all ages, to all conditions, to all
land;, I can not help repeating tho conclusion
ot my text: “Tho statutes of the Lord aro
right.” I remark again: The Bible is right in its
doctrines. Man, a sinner; Christ, a savior—
the two doctrines. Man must come down—
his pride, his self-righteousness, his worldli¬
ness; Christ, the Anointed. must g i un. lfit

Atonement Moses would never have de¬

tho Bible were standing on a platform prophets in a
great behind amphitheater, Him throwing as if the light
wore for¬
ward on His sacr“d person, and as if
the apostles and evangelists stoo 1 before Him
like footlights throwing up then light if iuto
His blessed countenance, and then as all
the oarth and heaven were the applauding
auditory, tno Bible speaks of Bisgah and
Carmel and Sinai, but makes all mountains
bow down to Calvary. Tho flocks led over the
Judean h 11s were emblems of “tho Lamb of
God that taketh away tho sins of the world;”
and the lion leaping out of its lair, was
an emblem of “tho lion of Judah's tribe.”
I will iu my next breath recite to you tho
most wonderful sentonce ever written:
“This is a faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came iuto the
world to save sinners.” No wonder that
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem Heaven
sympathized with earth, and a wave of joy
dashed clear over tho battlements and “Glory dripped
upon the shepherds in the words: to
Gcd in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men. ’’ In my next sent mce every
word weighs a ton: “God so loved the world

do not care where you put tho Bible, it just
suits the place. You put it in tho hand of a
man serioudy concerned about his soul. I seo,
people often giviug to tha serious soul this
and that book. It Bibio. may very well; hut there
is no book like the He rea Is the Com¬
mandments. and takes pleads tho to the indictment,
“Guilty.” He up Psalm; of David,
and savs: “They just describe nu feol
ings. u ‘it. IIe flies to good works; Paul starts
him out of that by the announra nent: “A
man is not lus ifiol by works.” Hs falls
back in his discouragement: the Bible starts
him un with the sentences; “Iteimmber
Lot's wife,” “Grieve not Then the Spirit.” in “Floe
the Wrath to Gome.” the man do
snair begins to erv out: “What shall I do?
Where shall I go?” and a voice reaches him
saving: “Coma unto me. all ye who are
weary and heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.”
Take this Bible and place it in the hands of
men in trouble! Is there anybody hero in
trouble? Ah, I might better ask are there
anj' here who have never been in trouble?
Tut this Bible in th t hands of the troubled.

AMERICAN LIVING.
a Contest Between This
Country and Europe.
Superiority of our Pood. Products Both
in Quality and Variety.
One of the commonest and best effects
of foreign travel upon our people is to
make them aware of the exceptional
blessedness of their own lot as citizens
of this happy land, and bring them homo
more contented than when they left.
In going across the ocean on a Hamburg
steamer, in company with many native
born Germans going over to revisit the
vaterland, it was wonderful to hear them
declare, with united voice, that much as
they loved the old country, they preferred
the new work! as a residence, A lt were

Only think of the void that would bo
made in our larders by J the absence of
just . two of vegetables,
our summer viz.,
* im< i tomatoes, ' and yet this is virtu
ally the case in Europe. Summer vego
tables I call them, although by the pro
cesses of drying and canning they are
nfnv become almost equally 1 plentiful 1 and
-
indispensable in winter. It seemed so
strange to be asked by an intelligent lady
in London for a description of Indian
corn as a vegetable, and bo requested to
give some idea of how it tasted. At the
and high-priced in England, while in
Germany they aro neper seen. In tile
latter latter country country green «een neas peas are me brought orou 0 nt to to
table, indeed, but generally spoiled by
having carrots chopped up and cooked
with them into a mess that is mawkishly
sweet, and frequently mushy.
With us it is not unusual, in the coun
try, to see front seven to nine vegetables
upon the dinner table at once (all raised
in one’s own garden), which to a Euro
pcan would seem an inconceivable extrav
agance.
The variety of our breads and break¬
fast cakes must be equally amazing to
foreigners, for cold rolls or brodchen, fre¬
quently stale at that, come upon the ta¬
ble from year’s end to year’s end in soli¬
tary state, and no one ever seems to
think a change among the tilings desira¬
ble or attainable. Truth to tell, tho
German brodchen are excellent and
wholesome; so exceptionally well baked
that a house-keeper brought a specimen
all the way across the ocean to show her
Tok how beautifully browned was tho
h ( A - -there-aghly done tho
crumb. And yet she despairs of ever
seeing the precise duplicate on our side
of tlio ocean. The knowing say this is
because of tho difference between our
stoves and the German brick ovens, the
latter being capable ot a regular even
heat, the results of which are unattaina¬
ble by any other heating apparatus.
While all over the German Empire
they have the like good bread, yet each
city seems to have its special form of roll.
In Dresden it is much smaller than in
Berlin, and, if possible, better, round,
with a division through the middle. The
pre-eminence in the manufacture of bread
seems given, by universal consent, to
Vienna, therefore to that city it must be
conceded; but in all of the good restau¬
rants of any large German city their rolls
of white bread are faultless to tho
! stran g e r’s palate.
