The Power of a Word.
On alje&utiful moonlight, night there
lay fifty thousand Union soldiers on
the Rappahannock river. On the
other bank lay fifty thousand Con
federate! soldiers. The air was clear,
and the music of the bands on either
side could he heard throughout the
extent of both camps. As the even
ing passed, and the time of retiring
approached, and the stillness of sleep
was stealing over the hut dred thous
and boys in blue and gray, a band on
the Union side played ‘ Hail Colum
bia.” Soon after the last echo had
died away, a band on the Confeder
ate side filled the air with the strains
of “Dixie.” The Union band re
sponded with “America,” and the re
ply from the Southern band was “The
Bonny Blue Flag.” Then a boy in
the blue put, his cornet to his lips,
and broke the stillness with the
sweet, clear notes of “Home Sweet
Home.” Then one band after an
other caught up the strain of “Home
Sweet Home,” until it seemed as if
evey one of the forty bands in the two
armies had joined in the magnificent
chorus. As the last notes died away,
the stillness of night was again set
tling over the camps, some boy in
gray shouted out, at the top of his
voice “Three cheers for home!” and
the nearest regiments caught the echo,
and from regiment to regiment the
cheer went, until it had reached every
part of the camps on both sides of
the river, and a bundled thousand
voices, Confederate and Union, min
gled with the martial strains of many
bandscheeringfor “homo.” —Selected.
How Tnlmage Was Converted.
You can take any man for Christ if
you know how to get at him, writes
Dr. Talmage in The Ladies’ Home
Journal. Truman Osborne one of
the evangelists who went through this
country many years ago, had a won
derful art in the right direction. Ho
came to my father’s house one day,
and while we were all seated in the
room, lie said: “Mr. Talmage, arc all
your children Christians ?” Father
said : “Yes, all but Do Witt.” Then
Truman Osborne looked down into
the fireplace, and began to tell a story
of a storm that camo on the mount
ains, and all the sheep were in the
fold; but there was one lamb outside
that perished in the storm. Had he
looked me in the eye I should have
been angered when he told that story;
but lie looked into the fireplace, and
it was so pathetically and beautifully
done that I never found any peace
until I was sure I was inside tho fold,
where tho other sheep were.
The servants of God mean business.
They do not play at preaching, but
they plead with men. They do not
talk for talking’s sake, but they per
suade for Jesus’ sake. They are not
sent into the world to ticklo men’s
ears, nor to make a display of elocu
tion, nor to quote poetry. Theirs is
an errand of life or death to souls im
mortal. They have something to say
which so presses upon them that they
must say it. “Woe is unto mo if I
preach not the gospel!” They burn
as with an inward fire, and the flame
must have vent, for the word of the
Lord is as fire in their bones, con
suming them. The truth presses
them into its service, and they cannot
escape from it. If, indeed, they be
servants of God, they must speak
the things they have seen and heard.
The servants of God have no feathers
in their caps, hut burdens on their
hearts.—Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon.
You say that you have no time to
spend upon your religious life. Have
you forgotten that Christ condemned
the Phnriflce, who stood at the cor
ners of the streets and made long
prayers; and justified ttte poor man,
who only “smote upon his breast,
saying, ‘God be! merciful to me a sin
ner?'’ '4'hat is to teach us how con
stantly our petitions may arise for
help; how the simplest cry in the
house, or by the wayside, will never
be lost out of the Hook of Remem
brance; for, “as a father pitieth bis
children, so the Lord pitieth them
that • fear him;" and of those who,
fearing the Lord, spake often one to
another, He said, “And they shall
be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in
that day when I make up my jewels."
The Temperance Teacher takes
this hopeful view of the situation:
“Instead of drink being the rule now
among native Americans, it is the ex
ception. It is rarely seen on our din
ing-tables. Church-members seldom
make a practice of drinking. It is
never heard of at ordinations, and
not often at funerals. Thousands of
children have grown up without ever
taking a glass as a beverage. Total
abstinence has become respectable,
and drunkenness a disgrace. And
yet sensible people seriously tell us
that our reformatory methods must
be given up, because we have made
no progress. They say there is more
drinking per capita now than when
wc began this temperance work. Will
they please tell us if this means more
whisky or more beer? But suppose
it means more alcohol, will they please
tell us bow much we would have been
taking at the previous rate of increase
and with the increased immigration
of drinkers, if it had not been for
temperance work and teaching?”
To-day, Not To-morrow.
There are duties that must be done
at a particular moment or they cannot
be done at all. It is to-day the sick
neighbor needs your visit, your help;
to-morrow he may be well or others
will have ministered to him, or he
may be dead. It is to-day that your
friend needs your sympathy, your
comfort; it will not be of any use to
him to-morrow. It is to-day that
this tempted one needs your help in
his struggle; to-morrow he may be
defeated, lying in the dust. It is to
day you must tell t:,e story of the
love of Christ; to-morrow it may be
too late. Learn well the meaning of
Now in life. To-morrow is a fatal
w’ord, thousands of lives and count
less thousands of hopes have been
wrecked on it. To day is the word
of divine blessing.—J. R. Miller.
