Ho has apples to sell. He has an imperfect measure. Ho pours out the apples from this Imperfect measure. God recognizes It. He says to the recording angel, “Mark down so many apples too few—an imper¬ fect measure.” We may cheat ourselves, and we may cheat the world, but we can¬ of not cheat God, and in the great day judgment it will be found out that what weTearned in boyhood at sohool is correct; that twenty hundredweight makes a ton, and 120 solid feet make a cord of wood. No more, no less, and a religion which does not take hold of this life, as well as the life to come, is no religion at all. But, my Mends, that is not the style of balances I am to speak of to-day; that fs not the kind of weights and,measures. I am to speak of that kind of balances which weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh men, weigh nations and weigh worlds. “What!” you say. “Is it possible that our world is to be weighed?” Yes. Why, you would think if God put on one side of th e balances suspended from the throne the Alps and the Pyrenees and the Himalayas and Mount Washington and all the cities of the earth they would crush it. No, nol The time will come when God will sit down on the white throne to see the world weighed, and on one side will be the world’s opportunities and on the other side the world’s sins. Down will go the sins and away will go the opportunities and God will say to the messengers with the torch: “Burn tbat world! Weighed and found wanting!” So God will weigh churches. He takes a great church. That church, great accord¬ ing to the worldly estimate, must bo weighed. He puts it on one side tbs bal¬ ances and -the minister and the choir and the building that cost its hundreds of thou¬ sands of dollars. He puts them on one side the balances. -jOn the other side of tho scale He puts what that church ought to be, what its consecration ought to bo, what Its sympathy for the poor ought to be, what its devotion to all good ought tc be. That Is on one side. That side comes down, end the church, not being able to stand the test, rl3es in the balanoes.. It does not mako any difference about your magnificent machinery. A ehuroh is built for one tting—to save souls. If it saves a few souls when it might save a multitude of souls, God will spew it out of His mouth. Weighed and found wanting! Howe perceive that God He estimates has the na¬ tions. How many times soates put Spanish monarchy into the and found It insufficient and condemned itl The Frenoh empire was plnoed on one side of the scales, and God weighed the Frenoh empire, and Napoleon said: “Have I not enlarged the boulevards? Did I not kin¬ dle the glories of the ChampsElyees? Have I not adorned the Tuileries? Have I not built the gilded opera house? Then God weighed the nation, and He put on one side the scales the emperor and the boulevards and the Tuileries and the Champs Elysees and the gilded opera house, and on the other side He puts that man’s abominations, that man’s libertinism, that man’s selfish¬ ness, that man’s godless ambition. This last same down, and all the brilliancy ol the scene vanished. What is that voice coming up from Sedan? Weighed and found wanting! Individual and But I must become more more personal In my address. Some people say they do not think clergymen ought to be personal in their religious address, but ought to deal with subjects iu the abstract. “I do not think that way. What would you think of a hunter who should go to the Adirondacks to shoot deer in the abstract? Ah, no! He loads the gun; he puts the butt of it against his breast, he runs his eye nlong the barrei, he takes sure aim, and then crash go the antlers on the roeksl And so, if we want to be hunters for the Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Not in the abstract are we to treat things in religious discussions. If a physician comes in into a slokroom, does he treat disease the abstract? No. Ha feels the pulse, the takes the diagnosis, then he writes prescription. And if we want to heal souls for this life and the life to oome, we do not want to treat them in the abstract. The fact unoured is, you and I have a malady which, If by grace, will kill us forever. Now, I want no abstraction. Where is the balm? Where is the physioian? People say there is a day of judgment coming. My friends, every day is a day of judgment, and you and I to-day are being canvasseddinspeoted,weighed. They Here are lifted, the balances of the sanotuary. are and we must all be weighed. Who will oome and be weighed first. Here is a moralist who volunteers. He is one of the most upright men In the country. He comes. “Well, my brother, and be get weighed.” in—get into the balances now But as he gets into the balances I say, “What is that bundle you have along with you?” “Oh,” he says, “that is my reputa¬ tion for goodness and kindness and charity nnd generosity and* kindliness generally!" “Oh, my brother, we cannot weigh that! We are going to weigh you—yon. Now stand in the scales—you, the moralist. Paid your debts?” “Yes,” you say, “paid all my debts.” “Have you acted in an upright way in the community?” “Yes, yes.” “Have you been kind to the poor? Are you faithful in a thousand relations In life?” “Yes.” “So far, 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 soul and mind and strength?” “No,” you say. Make another mark. “Come now, be frank and confess that in 10,000 things you have come short, have you not?” “Yes.” Make 10,000 marks. Come now, get me a hook large enough to make the record of the moralist’s deficits. My brother, stand in the scales, do not fly away from them. I put on your side the 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 putthere—ontheother sidethe scales ‘ and opposite to yours I put this weight, “By the deeds of the law shall no flesh liv- ing be justified.” Weighed and found want- lng! the Still, the ’whr.“i,“lL balances of sanotuary ,o ,;! are »st d .. w g wsr, here is a formalist. He comes and he gets into the balances, and as he gets in I see that all his religion is in genuflection and in outward observances. As he gets into the scales I say, “What is that you have In this pocket?” “Oh!” he says, “that is a Westminster assembly catechism.” I say: “Very good. What hnye you in the other pocket?” “Oh!,’ he says, “that is the Heidelberg catechism.” “Very good. What is that you have under your arm, standing in this balance of the sanctuary?” “Ohl” he says, “that is a church record.” “Very good. What are those hooks on your side the balances?” “Oh!” he says, "those are ‘Calvin’s Institutes.’” “My brother, we are not weighing books, we are weigh¬ ing you. It cannot be that you are de¬ pending for your salvation upon your orthodoxy. Do you not know that the creeds and the forms of religion are merely the scaffolding for the building? You cer¬ tainly are not going to mistake the scaf¬ folding for the temple. Do you not know that men have gone to perdition with a catechism in their pocket?” myself often.” “But,” “Ah! says the man, “I cross that will not save you.” “But,” says the man, “I am sympathetic for the the poor.” "That will not save you.” Says table.” “That man, “I sat at the communion will not save you.” “But,” says the man, “I have had my name on the church record.” “That will not save you.” “But I have been a professor of religion forty years." “That will not save you. Stand there on your side the balances, and I will give you the advantage—I will let you have all the creeds, all the ehuroh rec¬ ords, all the Christian conventions that were ever held, all the communion tables that were ever built, on your side the bal¬ ances. On the other side the balances I must put what God says I must put there. I put this 1,000,000 pound weight on the other side the balances, ‘Having the form of godliness, but denying the power there¬ of.’ ” Weighed and found wanting! Still the balances are suspended. Are there any others who would like to be weighed or who will bo weighed? Yes; here comes a worldling. He gets into the scales. I oan very easily see what his whole life is made up of. Stocks, dividends, percentages, “buyer ten days,” “buyer thirty days.” “Get in my friend, get into these balances and be weighed—weighed for this life and weighed for the life to oome.” He gets In. I find that the two great questions in his life are. “How cheaply can I buy these goods?” and “How dearly can I sell them?” I find he ad¬ mires heaven because it is a land of gold, and money must be “easy.” I find, from talking with him, that religion and the Sabbath are an interruption, a vulgar in¬ terruption, and ho hopes on the way to church to drum up a new customer! All the week he has been weighing fruits, weighing meats, weighing ice, weighing coals, weighing confeotlonB, weighing worldly and perishable commodi¬ himself ties, not realizing the fact that He has been weighed. “On I will your side the balances, O worldly! give you full advantage. I put on your side all the banking houses, all the storehouses, all the cargoes, all the insurance companies, all the factories, all the silver,all the gold, all the money vaults, all the sate deposits —all on your side. But It does not add one ounce, for at the very moment we are congratulating you on your fine house and upon your princely 1 income God and the angels are writing in regard to your soul: ‘Weighed and found wanting!’ ” A Launch For Gospel Services.

It la not an ancestral mansion, though it has been some live hundred years in building. The beginning of it was a sturdy sapling, standing in a liny cove, high on the side of an east Tennessee mountain. By and by the sapling became a big hollow tree. Not¬ withstanding the lrollow was so big a tall man could lie stretched at length in It there was an outer shell of sound wood and plenty of vigorous leafy boughs for shade. The hollow itself was rain and storm proof, so a couple of the mountain folk took up their abode in it. They did not bother about furniture, there was no room for It, even In n hollow tree measuring seven feet across. The man put clown a floor of puncheons—tliat Is rough slabs split from smaller tree trunks. For a bed they had dry leaves, and for covering skins of various animals i-ound about. The woman knew how to dress them Indian fashion, so they served In large part for clothes as well as cover. Ah axe, a rifle, a bullet pouch, a powder horn, a hunting knife, an iron pot, a water pail, a jug, two or three big gourds, a bread tray and a meal bag summed up the family’s movable possessions. Cooking was done gypsy fashion at a log Are some little way off the entrance to the tree. General¬ ly the pot sat beside the Are, simmer¬ ing and stewing. The only bread was ash cake. For drinking there was a choice of sassafras tea, unsweetened, and moonshine whiskey. The man, of course, was a moon¬ shiner. He was also a dead shot— particularly in the case of a revenue officer. He was able thus to feed hii family by working about half the time. His wife looked after the cloth¬ ing, exchanging surplus peltry twice a year for coarse cloth, salt and snuff at the nearest crossroads store, fifteen miles away. Eleven children were born In the hollow tree, and grew up into strap¬ ping men and women, One of the boys stood six feet nine Inches—when he could be persuaded to stand at all. Usually he carried himself in rather the shape of a crescent. Each of the eleven was cradled in the half of a smaller hollow tree, smoothed out In¬ side with the axe and imbedded with ' need rockers, rock¬ leaves. It did not ing Itself at the slightest touch. Aa the big tree became crowded, hollow logs were sought, one for each child, chopped to convenient lengths and dragged close about the fire. Into their open ends the bigger children crept, feet foremost, turned theii heads to the fire and slept snug through all sorts of weather. Ol course the logs were only for storms and severe weather, When it was | fine the whole family slept out-doors, presumably happy family, .. i It was a ; an( j certainly a healthy one, though u ..

G : The Word “ Salary." The way languages are built up Is very interesting, and the derivation of the word “salary” is curious as well. In ancient times Roman soldiers re¬ ceived a daily portion of salt as part of their pay. Sal is the Latin for salt, and when the salt was in the course of time commuted for money, the mount was called salarium, or salt money. Hence our word “salary" ind hence, doubtless, the expression, ■not worth his salt,” that is, not worth ols “salt-money” or salary.

There is a good story told of a man called William who Is engaged as a wludow-cleauer at a certfcln big hotel In London. One morning William, In¬ stead of doing his work, was amusing himself by reading the paper, and, as bad luck would have It, the manager looked In. “What’s this?” he said, William was dumbfounded. "Pack lip your things and go,” said the manager. So poor William went to the office, drew the money which was owing to him, and then went up stairs and put on his Sunday clothes. Coming down, he went to say “Good-by” to some of the other servants, and there be hap¬ pened to run across the manager, who did not secognlze him in his best coat. “Do you want a job?” asked th« manager. “Yes, sir,” said William. “Can you clean windows?” “Yes, sir.” “You look a handy sort of chap. 1 only gave the last man $5.50, but I’K give you $0.”—Waverley Magazine.
