In view of this certain leading tailors are won- whether this passion for but- may not signify that we are about return to the old custom of wearing and curious buttons oil our ’ r | v , Eighteenth century buttons, espe¬ those painted by Fragonard, a great price to-day. Formerly was the custom to give these but¬ tons to friends as presents and to have allegories or other scenes stamped on them in enamel. The oldest buttons in existence are the gold ones which were discovered by Schliemann at Myeene and those were found in the tomb of Childeric I. The latter, which were formerly on exhibition at the Louvre, are of gold and of glass colored in imitation of granite. Curious buttons have also been found on the caps and religious garments of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The costliest buttons ever made were worn by Louis XIV. Here is a list of those purchased during a tingle year, as recorded in the “Kegister of the King’s Precious Stones and Pres- ents” by Maze-Sencier:—- February 3, 1685—Montarsy sent to tho King twenty-four buttons, each containing a diamond; value, 138,030 francs. May 7, 1685—Six diamond buttons made and delivered by Sieur Bose; value, 30,000 francs. July 26, 1685—Given by Montarsy to the Marquis de Seignelay for tlie King seventy-five diamond buttons; value, 586,703 francs. August 1, 1685—Two diamond buttons; value, 67,866 francs. August 16, 1685—Three diamond buttons; value, 69,660 francs. December 20, 1685—Four diamond buttons; value, 88,375 francs. Fnrtbermore we are told that on July 26, 1685, Montarsy furnished for the King’s waistcoat forty-eight gold buttons, each bearing a diamond and ninety-six boutonnieres, of which forty-eight were each composed of five diamonds and the other forty- right of one diamond, the value of the whole being 185,123 francs. Three hundred and twenty-four boutonnieres were also furnished for the King's vest, of which one hundred and sixty- two were composed of five diamonds and the other one hundred and ninety- two of one diamond, the total value being 1,006,345 francs. Finally forly boutonniere ornaments were furnished to tlie Killer of which seven cost 201,- 270 francs and the remaining thirty- three 584,366 francs. about; Here we see that a snm of 3,000,000 francs ($600,000) was spent on buttons for the Grand Mon- arque” during a single year. During the preceding year (1684) the cost was ’ 10t 60 BIf at Vioinrr nnlxr ™'. T 1 ’ 071 090 ’ , francs.

Eloquent Exposition of the Wily Saul Won a Flock ami Lost a Kingdom—Impres¬ sive Lessons Drawn From an Old Bible Story—The Utter Futility of Fraud. Text: “And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears and the lowing of tho oxen which I hear?”—I Samuel xv„ 14. The Amalekites thought they had con¬ quered God nnd that ho would not carry into execution his threats against them. They had murdered the Israelites in battle and out of battle and left no outrage un¬ tried. For four hundred years this had been going on. and they suy, “God either dare not punish us or he has forgotten to do so.” Let us see. Samuel, God's prophet, tells Saul to go down and slay all the Amalekites, destroy not leaving ail the beasts one of in them their alive; also to aud possession—ox, Hark, sheep, camel ass. I hear the tread of 210,000 men, with monstrous Saul at. their head, ablaze with nrmor, his shield flangling at his side, hold¬ ing in his hand a spear, at the waving of which the great host marched or halted. I see smoke curling against the sky. Now there is a thick ■cloud of it, and now I see the whole city rising in a chariot of smoke behind steeds of fire. It is Saul that set the city ablaze. The Amalekites and Israelites meet; the trumpets of battle blow peal on peal, and there is a death hush. Then there is a signal waved, swords cut and hack, javelins ring on shields, ar ins full from trunks and heads roll into the dust. Gash after gash, the frenzied yell, the gurgling of throttled throats, the cry of pain, the laugh of revenge, the curse.hissed between clinched teeth—an army’s death groan. Stacks of dead on all sides, with eyes unshut and mouths yet grinning ven¬ geance. Huzza for the Israelites! Two hundred and ten thousand men wave their plumes and clap their shields, for the Lord God hath given them the victory. Yet that victorious army of Israel is con¬ quered by sheep and oxen. God, through the prophet Samuel, told Saul to slay all the Amalekites and to slay all the beasts in their possession, but Saul, thinking he knows more than God, saves Agag, the Amalekitisli king, and five drove of sheep and a herd of oxen that he cannot bear to kill. Saul drives the sheep and oxen down toward home. He has no idea that Samuel, the prophet, will find out that he has saved these sheep aud oxen for himself. Samuel comes and asks Saul the news from the battle. Saul puts on a solemn face, for there is no one who can look more solemn than your genuine hypocrite, and he says, “I have fulfilled the command of the Lord.” Samuel listens, and he hears the drove of sheep a little way off. Saul had no idea that the prophet’s ear would be so acute. Samuel says to Saul, “If you have done as God told you and slain nil the Amalekites and all the beast in their pos¬ session, what meaneth the bleating of the sheep in mine ears and the lowing of the oxen that I hear?” Ah, one would have thought that blushes would have con¬ sumed the cheek of Saul. No, no! Hesays the army—not himself, of course, but the army—had saved the sheep and oxen for sacrifice, and then they thought it would be too bad anyhow to kill Agag, the Amale- kitish king. Samuel takes the sword, and he slashes Agag to pieces, nnd then he takes the skirt of his coat in true oriental style and rends it in twain, as much as to say, “You, Haul, just like that, shall be torn away from your empire and torn away from your throne.” In other words, let all the nations of the earth hear the story that Saul, by disobeying kingdom. God, won a flock of I sheep, learn but lost this a subject that God will from has expose hypocrisy. divine Here Saul pretends he* fulfilled the commission by slay- in S 1111 the beasts belonging to the Amale- S/the &£ Mon tho secret comes out, and the sheep bleat and the oxen bellow. A hypocrite is one who pretends to be what he is not or to do what he does not. gaul was only a type of a class. The mod- era hypocrite looks awfully solemn, whines ' when he prays and during his public de- votion shows a great deal of the white of his eyes. He never laughs, or, if he does laugh, lie seems sorry for it afterward, great’in- as though he had committed some discretion The first time ho gets a chance he prays ‘ ^ twenty / minutes in public, J ; and whe n exhort hft geom9 to in ply tl at all . race are sinners, with one exception, his modesty forbidding the stating who that one is ’ There ure 11 &reat many churches that have two or three ecclesiasti¬ cal Uriah Heeps.

A' ship may outride a hundred storms, and yet a handful of worms in the planks may sink it to the bottom. The church of God is not so much and in danger of the cyclones of trouble it the persecution that come upon as of vermin of hypocrisy that infest it. Wolves are of no danger to the fold of God unless they look like sheep. Arnold was of more damage to the army than. Cornwallis and his hosts. Oh, we cannot deceive God with a church certificate! He sees behind the curtain as well as before the curtain. He sees every¬ thing inside out, A man may through policy hide his real character, but God will after awhile tear open the whited sepulcher and expose the putrefaction. Sunday faces cannot save him. Long prayers cannot save him. Tsalm singing and churchgoing cannot save him. God will expose him just as thoroughly as though He branded upon his forehead the word "Hypocrite.” He may think he has been successful in tho deception, the but at the most unfortunate moment bellow. sheep will bloat and the oxen will One of the cruel bishops of olden time was going to excommunicate one of the martyrs, and he began in the usual form—“In the name of God, amen.” “Stop,” says the martyr. “Don’t say'in thenameof God!'” Yet how many outrages are practiced un¬ der the garb of religion and sanctity. When in synods and conferences ministers of the gospel and are unkind about to about say something unbroth- erly by a member, they almost always begin of their being tremendously pious, the venom assault corres¬ ponding lude. Standing to the heavenly there, flavor would of the think pre¬ you they were ready to go right up down into glory and that nothing kept them but the weight of their boots and overcoat, when suddenly the sheep bleat and the oxen bel¬ low. Oh, my dear friends, let us cultivate simplicity of Christian character! Jesus Christ said: “Unless you become as this little child you cannot enter the kingdom of God.” We may play hypocrite God will success¬ after fully now, but the Lord awbilo expose your true character. You must know the incident mentioned in the history of Ottacas, who was asked to kneel in the presence of liandolphus I., and when before him he refused to do it, but after a while he agreed to come in private when there was nobody in the king’s tout, and then he would kneel down before him and worship, but tlie servants .of tho king had arranged it so that by drawing a cord the tent would suddenly drop. Ottacas after a while came in, and supposing he was in entire privacy knelt before Iiandoi- phus. The servants pulled the cord, the tent dropped, and two armies surrounding looked down on Ottacas kneeling before Eandolphus. If we were really kneeling to the world while we profess to be lowly subjects of Jesus Christ, the tent has al¬ ready dropped and all tho hosts of heaven are gazing upon our hypocrisy. God's universe is a very public place, and you I learn further from thl« subject how ‘T " 8t0 t ' ,row '* "It »n the .boulders of aald. “The woman tempted me. and I .ltd cat.” And the woman charged it onon the thn x^ncnt could have spoken It would have , chanted it upon the devil.

Clod Will hold you responsible for what you do and them responsible for what they do. I want to quote one passage of Scripture for you—T thou think it is in Proverbs—“If thou be wise, shalt be wise for thyself, but if thou scornost, thou (Hone shalt bear it,” I learn further from this subject what God meant by extermination. Saul was told to slay all the Amalekites and the beasts in their possession. He saves Agag, the Amalekite king, and some of the sheen and oxen. God chastises him for it. God will not stay in the soul that is half His and half the devil’s, There may be more sin's in our souls than there were Amalekites. IVe must kill them, Woe unto us if we spare Agag. Here is a Chris- tian. He says; “I will drive out all the Amalekites of sin from my heart. Here is jealousy—down backbiting—down goes that Amalekite. Here is goes that Amalekite,” and what slaughter ho makes among his sins, striking right and left! What is that out yonder, lifting up his head? It is Agag—it is worldliuess. It is an old sin he cannot bear to strike down. It is a darling transgression he cannot afford to sacrifice. Oh. my brethren, I appeal for entire conse¬ cration. Some of the Presbyterians call it the “higher life.” The Methodists. I belfeve, call it “perfection.” I do not care what you cal; it, “without holiness no man shall see the Lord.” I know men who are living with their soul in perpetual com¬ munion with Christ and day by day are walking within sight of heaven. How do I know? They tell me so. I believe them. They would not lie about it. Why cannot we all have this consecration? Why slay some of the sins in our soul and leave others to bleat and bellow for our exposure and condemnation? Christ will not stay in the same house with Agag. You must give up Agag or give up Christ. Jesus says: “All of that heart or none.” Saul slew the poorest of the sheep and the meanes.t of the oxen and kept some of the finest and the fattest, and there are Christians who have slain the most unpopular of their transgressions and saved those which are most respectable. It will not do. Eternal war against all the Amalekites—no mercy for Agag! I learn further from this subject that it is vain to try to defraud God. Here Saul thought he had cheated God out of those sheep and oxen, but he lost his crown, he lost his empire. You cannot cheat God out of a single cent. Here is a man who has made $10,000 in fraud. Before he dies every dollar of it will be gone, or it will give him violent unrest. Here is a Chris¬ tian who has been largely prospered. He has not given to God the proportion that is duo in charities and benevolences. God comes to the reckoning, and he takes it all away from you. How often it lias been that Christian men have had a large estate and It is gone. The Lord God came into the counting room a'l and said: “I have allowed fif¬ you to have this property for ten, teen or twenty years, and you have not done justice, to my poor children. When the beggar called upon you, you hounded him off your steps; when my suffering chil¬ dren appealed to you for help, you had no mercy. I only asked for so much or so much, but you did not give it to me, and now I will take it all.” G od asks of us one-seventh of our time in the way of Sabbath. Do yon suppose we can get an hour of that time successfully away from its true object? No, no. God has demanded one-seventh of your time. If you take one hour of that time that is to be devoted to God’s service and instead of keeping his Sabbath use it for the purpose of writing up your accounts or making worldly gains, God will get that hour f rom you in some unexpected way. God says to Jonah, “You go to Nineveh.” He says: “No, I won’t. I’ll go to Tarshish.” He starts for Tarshish. The sea raves, the winds blow and tile ship rocks. Come, ye whales, and take this passenger for Tar¬ shish! No man ever gets to Tarshish whom God tells to go to Nineveh. The sea would not carry him; it is God’s sea. The winds would not waft him; they are God’s winds. Let a man attempt to do that which God forbids him to do or to go into a place where God tells him not to go. the natural world as well as God is against him. The lightnings are ready to strike him, the, fires to burn him, the sun to smite him, the waters to drown him, and the earth to swallow him. Those whose princely robes are woven out of heart¬ strings, those whose fine houses are built out of skulls, those whose springing foun¬ tains are the tears of oppressed nations, have they successfully cheated God? The last day will demonstrate. It will be found out on that day that God vindicated not only his goodness and His mercy, but His power to take care of His own rights rights and the rights of His church and the of His oppressed children. Come, ye mar¬ tyred dead, awake and come up from the dungeons where folded darkness hearsed you an<j the chains like off cankers the peeled loose the skin and wore flesh and rattled on the narrowless bones. Come, ye martyred dead, from the stakes where you were burned, where the arm uplifted for mercy fell into the ashes and the cry of pain was drowned in the snapping of the flame and the howling and of Smithfield the mob; market from valleys of Piedmont and London Tower and the highlands of Scotland. Gather in great procession and together clap your bony hands, and to¬ gether stamp your moldy feet and let the chains that bound you to dungeons all clank at once and gather all the flames that burned you in one uplifted arm of fire and plead for a judgment. Gather ail the tears ye ever wept into a lake aud gather all the sighs ye ever breathed into a tempest until the heaven piercing chain clank and the tempest sigh and the thun¬ der groan announce to earth and hell and heaven a judgment. Oh, on that day God and will vindicate the cause of the troubled the oppressed! It will be seen in that day that though we may have robbed bur fel¬ lows, we never ^have^ successfully robbed God. My Christian friends, as you go out into the world exhibit an open hearted Christian frankness. Do not be hypocritical in any¬ thing. You are never safe if you are. At tlie most inopportune moment the sheep will bleat and the oxen bellow. Drive out the last Amalekite of sin from your soul. Have no mercy on Agag.
