Ljt how hard it is to see God in th? minute
nersonal affairs of our lives! We think of
f I as making a record of the starry host,
Lt cannot realize the Bible truth that He
kn iws how many hairs are on our head. It
Leins a grand thing that God provide.! food
br hundreds of thousands of Israelites in the
desert; but we eannot appreciate the truth
that, when a sparrow is hungry, God stoops
down and opens its mouth and puts the seed
in. We are struck with the idea that God
fills th? universe with His presence; but can
not understand how He encamps in the
crystal palace of the dewdrop, or finds
room to stand, without being crowded, be
tween the alabaster pillars of a pond lily.
We can see God in the clouds. Can we see
God in these flowers at our feet? We are apt 1
to pla-.e God on some great stage—or try to
d 0 jt—expecting Him there to act out His
stupendous projects; but we forget that the
life of a Cromwell, an Alexander, or a Wash
ington. or an archangel, is not more under
divine inspection than your life or mine.
Pompey thought there must be a mist over
the eves of God because He so much favored
C.irar. But there is no such mist. He sees
every thing, We say God’s path is in the
great waters. True enough I but no more
certainly than He is in the water in the glass
on the table. We say God guides the stars in
their courses. Magnificent truth! but no
more certain truth than that He decides
which read or street you sh ill take in coming
to church. Understand that God does not sit
upon an indifferent or unsympathetic throne;
but that He sits down beside you to-day, and
stands beside me to-day, and no affair of our
lives is so insignificant but that it is of im
portance to God.
In the first place, God chooses for us our
cccupation. lam amazed to see how many
people there are dissatisfied with the work
they have to do. I think three fourths wish
they were in some other occupation; and
they spend a great d< al of time in regretting
ttat they’ got in the wrong ti ade or profes
sion. I want to tell you that God put into j
operation all the influences which led you to
that particular choice. Many of you are not
in the business that you expected to be in.
You started for the ministry, and learned
merchandise; you started for the law, and
you are a physician; you preferred agricul
ture, and you are a mechanic. You thought
one way; God thought another. But you
ought not to sit down and mourn over the
past. You are to remember that God—a
Beneficent God, a kind God. a loving God—
arranged all these circumstances by which
you were made what you are.
Hugh Miller says:' “I will lie a stone
mason.’’ Godsays: ‘‘You willbea geologist.' 1
David goes out to tend his father’s sheep.
God calls him to govern a nation. Saul goes
out to hunt his father’s asses, and before he
gets back finds the crown of mighty domin
ion. How much happier would we "be if we
were content with the places God gave us I
God saw your temperament and all the cir
cumstances by which you were surrounded,
and I believe nine-tenths of you are in the
work you are best fitted for.
I hear a great racket in my wat?h, and I
find that the hands and the wheels, and the
springs are getting out of their places. I
send it down to the jewelersand say: “Over
haul that watch, and teach the w'heels and
the spring and the hands to mind their own
business.”
You know a man having a large estate.
He gathers his working hands in the morn
ing, and says to one: “You go and trim that
vine;” to another: “You go and weed those
flowers;” to another: “You plow that tough
glebe; 1 and each one goes to his particular
work. The owner of the estate points the
man to what he knows he can do best, and so
it is with the Lord. He calls us up and points
us to that field for w hick we are best fitted.
So that the lesson for to-day, coming from
this subject, is: “Stay cheerfully where God
puts you.”
I remark further; That God has arranged
the place of our dwelling. What particular
city or tow n, street or house you shall live in,
seems to be a mere matter of accident. You
go out to hunt for a house, ami you happen
to pass up a certain street, and happen to see
a sign, and you select that house. Was it all
happening so? O, no! God guided you in
every step. He foresaw the future. He knew
all your circumstances, and be selected just
that one house as better for you than any
one of the ten thousand habitations in the
city. Our house, however humble the roof
and however lowly the portals, is as near
God s heart as an Alhambra or a Kremlin.
Prove it, you say? Proverbs iii., 33: “He
blessed the habitation of the just.”
I remark further, that God arranges nil
eur friendships. You were driven to tho
wall. You found a man just at that crisis
who sympathized with you and helped you.
You say; “How lucky I wa'4” There was
no luck about it. God sent that friend just
as certain as He sent the angel to strengthen
Christ. Your domestic friends, your busi
ness friends, vour Christian friends, God
*nt them to bless you. and if any of them
have proved traitorous it is only to bring out
the value of those who remain. If some die,
it is only that they may stand at the out
post of Heaven to greet you at your coming.
You always will have friends —warm-
hearted friends, magnanimous friends: and
when sickness comes to your dwelling there
will be watchers; when trouble comes to your i
heart there will be sympathizers; when
death comes there will be gentle fingers to
close the eyes and fold the hands, and gentle
lips to tell of a resurrection. Oh, we are com
passed by a body-guard of friends! Every
man. if he has Behaved himself well, is sur
rounded by three circles of friends—those of
the outer circle wishing him well; those in
the next circle willing to help him; while
close up to his heart are a few who would die
for him. God pity the wret -h who has not
any friends! He has not behaved well.
I remark, again, that God puts down the
limit of our te:n[ioral prosperity. The world
of finance seems tn have no God in it. You
'an not tell where a man will land. The as
fluent fall; the poor rise; the ingenious fail;
the ignorant succeed. An enterprise open
ing grandly -huts in bankruptcy, while out
of th» peat dug up from some New England
marsh the millionaire builds his fortune.
The poor man thinks it is chance that keeps
him down: the rich min thinks it is chance
which hoists him; and they are both wrong. I
It is so hard to realise that God rules the
money market, and has a hook in the nose of
the stock gambler, and that all the commer
cial revolutions of the world shall result in
the very best for God’s dear children. My
brethren, do not kick against the divine al
lotments. God knows just how much money
it is best for you to lose. You never gain
unless it is best for you to gain. You go up
when it it best for you to go up, and go
flown when it is best t r you to go down.
« , rr,ve it. you say? I will: Romans viii., 28:
All things work together for good to them
that love God.” You go to a factory, and
you see twenty or thirty wheels as they are
going in different directions. This hand is
rolling off this way, and another hand an
other way: one down, another up. You say:
'That confusion in a factory?'Oh, no! all
t’ie e differin' hands are only different pa-ts
of the ma 'bine y. So Igo into vour life and
see st'ange thin ss. Here is one providence
pulling y »i on? wav, a id another in another
way. Hnf these are di Tierent parti of one
uia-hiaerv, l>v which He will aiivance vour
everUsting an I present well-bein;. Now
you know tlia? a s>eonl mortgage, nnl a
third an 1 fourth mortgage, is oft n worth
nothing It is the first mortgage that is a
good investme it. I have t > tell you that
every Christian man ba. a first mortgnou
every trial an 1 on every di n-t. r. and it must
m ike a payment of eternal a 1 vantage to his
soul.
How many worriments it woul 1 take out
of your heart if vou believed that fully.
You bay goo Is and bone the pri -e will co up;
but you are in a fret and a frownfor fear ths
price will go down. Y’oudo not buv th?
go.-sls. usp g vour tiest d scretion in the
matter, and then say: “Oh. Lord! I have
don? the I est I con’d. I commit thii whole
transaction into Thv hands.” That is what
relig on is good for. or it is goo 1 for nothing.
There are two things, says an old proverb,
you ought not to fret a’out: First, things
that you can help; and, second, things
which you can not help. If you <an help
them, why do you not apily the remedy? If
you can not help them, you might as well
surrender first as last. My dear brethren,
do no sit any longer moping about yo :r
ledger. Do not sit looking so desponding
upon your stock of unsalab’e goods. Do you
think that God is going to allow you, a Chris
tian man, to do business alone? God is the
controlling partner in every firm: and
although your debtors may abscond, although
your securities m iv fail, although your store
may burn, God will, out of an infinity of re
sults, choose for you the very best results-
Do not have any 'idea, that you can overstep
the limit that God has laid down for your
prosperity. You will never get one inch be
yond it. God has decided how much pros
perity you can stand honorably, and employ
usefully, aud control righteously; and at the
end of 188t>you will have just so many dollars
and cents, just so much wardrobe, just so
much furniture, just so many bonds and
mortgages, and nothing more." I will give
you 8100 for every penny beyond that. God
ha- looked over your life. He knows what
is best for vou. aud He is going to bless you
in time and bless you for eternity; and He
will do it in the best way.
Y’our little child says: “Papa, I wish you
would let me have that knife •” “No,” you
say, “it is a sharp knife, and you will cut
yourself.” He says: “I must have it.” “But
you can not have it,” you reply. He gets
angry and red in the face, and says he wit
have it; but you say he shall not have it.
Are you not kind in keeping it from him? So
God treats His children. I say: “I wish,
Heavenly Father, to get that.” Godsays:
“No, my child.” I say: “I must have it.”
God says: “You can not have it.” I get
angry and say: “I will have it.” Godsays:
“You shall not have it.” And 1 do not get
it. Is He not kind aud lovingand the best of
fathers ? Do you tell me there is no rule and
regulation in these things ? Toll that to the
men who believe in no God and no Bible
Tell it not to me.
A man of large business concludes to go
out of bis store, leaving much of his invest
ments in the business, and he says to his
sons: “Now. lam going to leave this busi- (
ness in your bauds. Perhaps I may come
ba k in a little while, ami perhaps not.
While I am gone you will please to look
after affairs.” After awhile the father conies
back and finds everything at loose ends, ami
the whole business seems to be going wrong
ne says: “1 am going to take possession or
this business—you know I never fully sur I
rendered it; ami henceforth consider your
selves subordinates. ” Is he not right in doing
it? He saves the business. The Lord i
seems to let us go on in life guided by
our own skill, and we make miserable
work of it. God comes down to our
shop or our store and says: “Things are go
ing wrong; I come to take charge, lam mas
ter, and I know what is best, aud I proclaim
my authority.” We are merely subordi
nates. It is like a boy at school with a
long sum that he cannot do. He has been
working at it for horn’s, making figures here
and rubbing out figures there, aud it is all
mixed up; and the teacher, looking over the
boy’s shoulder, knows that he eaunot get out
of it, aud cleaning the slate, says: “Begin
again.” Just so God does to us. Our affairs
get into an inextricable entanglement, and
He rubs everything out aud says: “Begin
again?” Is He not wise ami loving in so
doing?
I think the trouble is that there is so large
a difference between the Di vine and the human
estimate as to what is enough. I have heard
of people striving for that which is enough,
but I never heard of any one who had enough.
What God calls enough for man, mancalls
too little. What man calks enough, Godsays
is too much. The difference between a poor
man and a rich man is only the difference in
banks. The rich man puts his money in the
Nassau Bank, or the Park Bank, or Fulton
Bank, or some other bank of that character,
while the poor man comes up and makes his
investments in the bank of Him who runs a’l
the quarries, all the mines, all the gold, all
the earth, all heaven. Do you think a man !
can fail when he is backed up like that?
I want to bring this truth close up to the
heart of those people in this audience who
have to calculate rigid economy, who are
perplexed how they will make the old gar
ment hold out a little longer, with whom the
great question is not which is the best invest
ment or the most lucrative security, but how
shall I make the two ends meet? To such
people I bring the condolence o£ this Chris- :
tian truth.
You may have seen a map on which is de- j
scribed, with red ink, the travels of the chil- I
dren of Israel through the desert to tho
Promised Land. You see how they took this
and that dire tiou, crossed the river and
went through the sea. Do you know God !
has made a map of your life, with paths lead
ing up to this bitterness aud that success,
through this river and across that sea? But,
blessed be God! the path always comes out j
at the Promised Land. Mark that! Mark
that!
1 remark, again, that all those things that
seem to be but accidents in our life are under
the Divine supervision. We sometimes seem
to be going helmless and anchorless. You
say: “If I hal some other trade: if I had
not gone there this summer; if I had lives! in
sorno other house.” You have no right to
say that. Every tear you wept, every step
you have taken, every burden you have car
riel, is under Divine inspection, and that
qvent which startled your whole household
with horror, God met with perfect placidity,
because he knew it was for your good. It
was part of a great plan projected long
ago. In eternity, when you come to
re-kon up your mercies, you will ;>oint to
thal affliction as one of your greatest bless
ings. God has a strange way with us. Joseph
'ound his way to the Prime Ministers chair
ny being pushed into a pit; and to many a
Christian down is up. The wheat must be
flailed; the quary must be blasted; the dia
mond must be ground; the Christian must be
s'Hicted; aud that single event, which you
<r.ip;>o-e 1 stood entirely alone, was a connect
ing link between two great chains, one chain
reaching through all eternity past and the
sther other chain reaching through all eter
nity future, so small an event fastening two
eternities together.
A missionary, coming from India to the
United States, stopped at St. Helena while
the vessel was taking water. He had his little
child with him. They walked along by an
embankment, and a rock at that moment be
came loosened, and falling, instantly killed
the child. Was it an accident? Was it a
surprise to God? Had He allowed His servant,
after a life of consecration, to come to such a
trial? Not such is my God. Th :re are no
accidents in the divine mind, though they
rnav seem so to us. God is good, and by
every single incident of our life, whether it
l>e adverse or otherwise, before earth and
Heaven God will demonstrate His mercy.
“I hear a man sav: “That idea lielittles
God. You bring Hina down to such little
things.” Oh! I have a more thorough ap
pro iation of Gori in little things than 1 have
m great things. The mother does not wa t
until the child has mashed its foot or broken
ita arm before she administers sympathy.
The child come, in with the least bruise, and
the mother kisses it. God does net wait for
some tremendous crisis in our life, but cornes
down to us in our most insignificant trials,
an 1 throws over us the arms of His mercy.
Go-ng up the White Mountains to ne veers
ago I bought of that passage in the Bible
that s-ieaks of God as weighing nioiiutaius
.in a bal-mce. As 1 looked at th s> great
mountains 1 thought, can it be possible that
Go 1 1 an put th s? great mountains in scales'
It was nil idea too great forme to grasp: but
when 1 saw a blue-b-U down bv the mule’s
f Kit, on mv wa v up Mount Washington, t h >n
I understood the kindness and goodness of
God. It is not so much of Got in great
things I can understand, but of God in little
things.
There is a man who says: “That doctrine
cannot be true, liecauao things do go so very
wrong.” I reply, it is no inconsistency on
ths> part of God, but a lack of understanding
on our part. I hear th,A men are making
very tine shawls in some factory. Igoin oa
the first floor and see only the raw materials,
an.l I ask: "Are these the shawls I havo
hoard about?" “No,”says the manufacturer:
“go up to the next floor,” and 1 go up, and
then I liegiu to see the design. But the man
says: “Do not stop h ire: go up to tho top
floor of tho factory, and you will see the ide i
fully carried out" 1 do so, ana having comt
to the top. sec tho complete pattern of an
exquisite shawl. So in our life, standing
down on a low level of Christian experience,
wo do not understand God’s dealings. He
tells us to go up higher, until we begin to
understand the divine moaning with respect
to us an 1 we advance until we stand at the
very gate of Heaven, and there see God s
id-a all wrought out—a perfect idea of mercy,
of love, of kindneis. And wosav: "Just and
true are all Thy ways.” It is all right at the
bottom. Remember there is no inconsistency
on tho part of God, but it is only ot.r ir.enUv.
ami spiritual incapacity.
Some of you havo boon diappointed this
summer—vacations are apt to b»disappoint
nients,but whatever havo been your perplox
ities and worriments, know that "Man’s
heart deviseth his way, but the Lord di
recteth his st?ps.” Ask these aged men in
this church if this is not so. It
has boon so in my own life. Oue
summer I started for tho Adiron
dacks, but my plans wore so changed
that I landed in Liverpool. I studied law,
and I got into the ministry. I re-olved to go
as a missionary to China, and I stayed in the
United States. I thought I would like to he
in the East, and I went to the West—all the
circumstances of life, all my work, different
from that which I expected. “A man’s heart
deviseth his way, but the Lord directeth his
steps. ”
So, my dear friends, this day take home
this subject. Be content with such things as
you have. From every grass blade under
your feet learn the lesson of Divine care, and
never lot tho smallest bird flit across your
path without thinking of tho truth that “five
sparrows are sold for two farthings, and not
oue of them is forgotten liefore God.” Blessed
bo His glorious name forever. Amen.
Heroes Riding on the Rail.
In one of the coaches on a west-bound
tra’n was a party of young men. They
were just like other passengers, except
ing, possibly, that they wore better
clothes, talked more slang and had
browner faces. But it was plain to be
seen by the most careless observer that
they were anything but common young
men. The other passengers looked upon
them with awe, mingled with admira
tion. Every move made by one of the I
dozen was eagerly noted by all sitting :
within view. These young men had full
seats to themselves, while other passen
gers crowded themselves together. ;
Whenever one of the young men walked
through the car everybody else stood re
spectfully aside. If one of the young
men made an attempt at a joke there
■was no man within hearing who had
the temerity to refuse to laugh.
At stations the word seemed to be
passed along the ]>latform, and crowds
gathered to look into the windows and
do homage to the distinguished travelers.
The conductor was studiously polite to
them, and the brakeman was always on
the lookout to see if lie couldi be of any
service to them. Even the train hoy
seemed for once to have lost his itnpu- I
dence and he treated these young men
with frequent evidences of his most sin
cere consideration; and rarely left the
car in which they were seated without
casting upon them one parting glance'of
envy and admiration-.
‘‘Who are those nabob- chaps?” in
quired a new passenger of his Aeatmate;
“they ain’t Members of Congress, or
Princes from Yurrip, or the only sons of
millionaire railway Presidents, be they?’’
“Oh, no, the other passenger replied,,
“they arc only a club of baseball players.”

k Broken Door Bell.
Hudson Taylor, who at that time kept
a book store in Washington, and who
was a warm friend of Secretary Stanton,
says: “The morning after the assassina
! tion of Lincoln it was stated in newspa
per articles that two gentlemen who were
walking leisurely along near Mr. Stan
ton’s house at eight o’clock the night of
the tragedy, the hour fixed for the at
i tack on Seward and Johnson, saw a tall
man with a high hat hurry off Stanton’s
stoop, and though they remarked it as
singular, gave it only a passing notice.
The next morning when I made my usual
call on Stanton, he said, after reading
tlie article referred to: ‘I was tired exit
last night and went home early, and was
in the back room playing with the chil
dren when those gentlemen saw the man
hurry off my stoop. If the dbor-bell had
rung it would have been answered and
the man admitted, and I, no doubt, would
have been attacked, but the bell wire was
broken a day or two before, and though
we had endeavored to have it repaired,
the bell-hanger had put ns off because of
a pressure of orders.’ When 1 went back
to my store after this interview with Mr.
Stanton,” said Mr. Taylor, “I mentioned
the matter to one of my clerks, who ex
claimed quickly: ‘That is so, I know,
liecause at seven o’clock last night I went
to Mr. Stanton’s house with a txiok and
pulled and pulled the bell-knob, but got
no response. I stepped into the vesti
bule, and looking up saw the broken bell
wire and reaching up pulled it, when the
butler answered and asked: “How did
you ring that bell?” and expressed sur
prise and added; “It haa been broken for
a day or two and has annoyed us much.”’
We all agreed, including Mr. Stanton,”
said Mr. Taylor, “that if that bell-wire
had been in working order Mr. Stanton
would have been assassinated, for the
man had evidently pulled the boll-knob
several times, and getting no response
became frightened and fled.— Chncage

An Incident of Aiitlolain.
the most savagely contested part of
the struggle at Antietam was in and
I around the sunken lane of Rouletls farm,
| where Jackson’s Corps for hours held the
i ground, from which Hooker and Mans
field had been successfully repulsed early
, in the morning. In their yellowish, but
ternut suits the Confederates were scarce
ly distinguishable from the road-bed on
the ditch where they lay, or from the
ripe stalks of the cornfield behind,
through which their re-enforcing bri
gades were constantly descending. Not
more than fifty yards off, lying or kneel-
I ing in the green pasture field, without
any shelter, the Union men—Kimball’s,
Caldwell’s and the Irish brigades—poured
so deadly a fire into that lane that after
• tlie battle six hundred Confederate dead
were found there. Repeated efforts were
made by the Union troops to charge
Pterhaps the first was in conformity to i
General’s orders; the others certainly
were not. The Confederate fire was so
terrible that everyone, however, realized
the need either of driving the Confeder
ates from the lane and the rising ground
behind, or else of retiring, to avoid mini
i hilation. Such expressions as, “Wt.
| must charge,” “Let’s try the bayonet,
| boys,” were constantly repeated along
the line, and bayonets would bo fixed
without any order whatever, so £iir as
known, from General or field officers..
But, on making the effort to charge,, and
finding the enemy’s fire irresistible, tlie
Union line, with heads bent, as if against,
a rain-storm, would back up to its . for"
mar position, and, kneeling or lying,
down again, resume its fire. Finally a
clamor of desperation broke out. There
were no troops in sight behind, no prom
ise of reserve or support, and the situa
tion was galling. The whole heavens
was splitting with tho detonations of
battle, and the rest of the army was
probably fighting for its own life; The
men on their knees fixed bayonets again
for the tenth time, perhaps, and, with a
murderous howl of rage, the three bri
gades rushed forward and in a minute
were in the lane and their banners were
ascending through the cornfield toward
j the peach orchard where Jackson him
[ self is said to have been during all these
j hours. This charge, which broke Jack
i son’s right for a time, and required all
’ his genius to prevent proving a supremue
disaster to his army, would not have been
made when it was made if blie initiative

upon blotting-paper, when it was divided
■ into two. The grafts were applied to
the wound so that the blotting-paper was
interposed between them and the fixing
plaster. Two days after the transplan
! tation both fragments of epidermis were
I found to be adherent. Two days later a
fresh grafting was made; the former
: grafts had become roseate. In a further
period of forty-eight hours tho pigmen
tation of the grafts had almost disap
peared. The cicatrix resulting after this
i treatment was found to be of great soft
ness and elasticity. Frog’s skin as grafts
has been recently employed at some of
' the London hospitals.— London Lancet.
