NOTES FROM GAILLARI).
Mr. Editor:
1 deem it not erroneous to com¬
municate to your paper a few brief
notes.
The weather being favorable the
farmers have gone to work with re¬
newed energy, preparing thicr lands
for cultivation. A large acreage of
corn, watermelons, etc., are being
planted. The farmers are endeavor¬
ing to make their farms self-sustain¬
ing. To do this eotion must be
made a surplus crop.
The Sunday school at Beaver
Dam has a large attendance and are
doing much good in the Christian
work. All the young people delight
in the Sunday school and go for no
other than the prudential purpose
for which it was organized. Its sel¬
dom it breaks down even in dead
winter. Supt. Howard, of the G.
& H. R. R. has met with an encour¬
aging attendance. So its evident
that they need no reorganization.
A chaining young lady of this
community lias been accused of hav¬
ing said: ‘‘Of all the birds I love the
songs of the Martin best.
Mrs. E. Ik McKenney, of Mocon ,

the size of his sword and breastplate corre¬

stride across the battlefield and the full
stroke of bis arm must have been appalling.

I think the Israelites trembled when they
saw this monster of a man moving down to
crush them. Alas for the Israelites! Will
their troubles never cease? What can men
five and a half teet high do against this war¬
rior of eleven feet, and what can short
swords do against a sword whose gleam
must have been like a flash of lightning?
The battle of Edrei opened. Moses and his
army met the giant and his army. The Lord
of Hosts descended into the fight, and the ad¬
gigantic strides that Og had made wnen

Sixty fortified cities surrendered to tUem.
A land of indescribable opulence comes into
their possession, and all that is left of the
giant king is tbe iron bedstead. “Nine cubits
was tbe length thereof and four cubits the
breadth of it.”
Why did not tbe Bible give us the
size of the giant instead of the size of the
bedstead? Why did it not indicate that the
giant was eleven feet high instead of telling
us that his couch was thirteen and a half
feet long? No doubt among other things it
was to teach us that you cau judge of a man
by his surroundings. Show me a man’s
associates, show me a man’s books, show me
a man’s home, and I will tell you what he is
without your telling me one word about
him. You cannot only tell a man accord¬
ing to the old adage, “By the company ha
keeps,” but by the books he reads, by the
pictures he admires, by the churcn he at¬
tends. by the places he visits. Moral

From the fact that was
thirteen and a half feet long, 1 conclude the
giant himself was about eleven feet high.
But let no one by this thought be induced to
surrender to unfavorable environments. A
man can make his own bedstead. Cbantrey
and Hugh Miller were born stonemasons,
but the one became an immortal sculptor
and the other a Christian scientist wnose

in whose praise John Rusuin expended the

no doubt had a
throne, but tho Bible never mentions his
throne. King Og no doubt had crown, but
the Bible never mentions his crown.
King Og no doubt had a scepter, but
the Bible does not mention his scepter.
Yet one of the largest versos of the Bible is
taken up in describing bis bedstead. So God
all up and down the Bible honors sleep.
Adam, with his head on a pillow of Edenic
roses, has his slumber blest by a divine gift
of beautLul companionship. Jacob, with
his beau on a piiiow of rock, has his sleep
gior.fied with a ladder filled with descending
and ascending angels. Christ, with a fisher¬ pillow
made out of the folded up coat of a
man honors slumber in the back part of the
storm tossed boat.
In Bible ti.nes. when people arose at the
voice of the bird, they retired at the time
the bird puts his head under his wing. One
of our national sins is robbery of sleep.
Waiter Scott was so urgent ahout this duty
of si umber that, when arriving at a hotel
where there was no room to sleep in except
that in which there was a corpse, inquired if
the deceased had died of a contagious disease,
and, when assured he had not, took the other
bed in the room and fell into pro roundest
slumber. Those of small endurance must
certainly require rest if even the giant needs
an iron bedstead.
Notice, furthermore, that God’s people on
the way to Canaan need not be surprised if
they confront some sort of a giant. Had not

the giant of the iron bedstead. “Nine
cubits was the length thereof and four
cubits the breadth of it.” Why not let these
Israelites go smoothly into Canaan without
this gigantic opposition? Oh, they needed
to have their courage and faith further
tested and developed! And blessed the man
who, in our time, in his march toward the
Promised Land, does not meet more than
one giant. Do not conclude that you are not
on tue way to Canaan because of this ob¬
stacle.
As well might the Israelites conclude they

In this battle against King Og use not for
weapons the crutch of a limping Christian or
the sharp pen of a controversialist, but the
sword of truth, which is the word of God.
The word “if’ is made up of thi same num¬
ber of letters as the word “Og,” and it is
just as big a giant. If the Bible be true.
If the soul be immortal. If Christ ba God.
If our belief and behavior here decide our

word “If.” Noah Webster says it is a con¬
junction; I say it is an armed giant. Satan
breatned upon it a curse when he said to
Christ, “If Thou be the Son of God.”
What a dastardly and infamous “if.”
Against that giant “If” hurl Job’s *T

It would hot let my mother alone even in
her dying momenta. After a life of holi¬

“Father, what if after all our prayers and
struggles should go for nothing.” Why
could she not, after all the trials and sick¬
nesses and bereavements of a long iife and
the infirmities of ol 1 age, be allowed to go
without such a cruel stroke from Doubt, the
giant? Do you wonder I have a grudge
against tbe old monster? If I could I would

he struck was the bottom of perdition.

the cities. Not only on one side of Jordan,
but on both aides of ail the rivers. The
day is coming. Hear it, all ye who are
doing something for tbe conquest of the
world for God and the truth, the time will
come wnen, as there was nothing left of Og,
the giant, but the iron bedstead kept at
Rabbath as a curiosity, there will be notn-
ing left of tbe giant* of iniquite nJi except
something for the relic hunters mine.
Which of the giants will Be the last slain I
know not, but there will be a museum some¬
where to hold the relics of what they once
were. A rusted sword will be hung up—the
only relic of the giant of War. A demijohn
—the only relic of the giant of Inebriation.
A roulette ball—the only relic of the giant of
Hazard. A pictured certificate of watered
stocks—the only reiic of the giant of .Stock-
Gambling. A broken knife—the only "yellow relic
of the giant of Assassination. A
copy of Tom Paine—the only relic of the
giant of Unbelief. And that museum will
do for the later ages of the world what the
iron bedstead at Rabbath did for the earlier
ages. Do you not see it makes all the differ¬
ence in the woriv whether we are fighting
on toward a miserable defeat or toward a
final victory?
All the Bible promises prophesy the latter,
and so 1 cheer you who are the troops of
God, Alexander and though many things are dark now,
like I review the army by torch¬
light, and I give you tho watch word which
Martin Luther proclaimed, “i'he Lord of
Hosts!” “The Lord of Hosts!” and I cry
out exultingly with Oliver Cromwell at the
battle of Dunbar, “Let God arise: let His
enemies be scattered.” Make all the prep¬
arations for the world’s evangelizatieu.

enough the expected ingathering of many
