The text is 11. Kings, xviii, 23. “I will deliver thee £000 horses if than be able on thy part to set riders upon them." Up by the waterworks. the upper reservoir of Jerusalem, the general of the [besieg'mg army and the generais of besieged Jerusalem are in consulta~ tion. Though General Rab-shakeh had been largely paid costop the siege. he kept the :money and continued the siegeâ€"the military miscreant! Rab- shakeh derides the capacity of the city 'to defend itself and practically says, “You have not 2000 men who can manâ€" age horses. Produce 2000 cavalrymen. and I will give you a present of 2000 cavalry horses. You have not in all your L‘t‘5i0g8d. city of Jerusalem 2000 pared with the fact mo be demonstrat- ed before all earth- and all heaven. that Johann Gutenberg. under God. inaugurated forces whmb will yet. ac- complish the world’s redemption. The newspgper press yvmll 3'93; announce na- men “ho can mount. them. and by bit and brid'e ‘ control a home." Rab- sha eh realized that it is akin to and horses than skillful riders. and hence he makes the challenge of the text, “I The opportunities of saving Ameri- ca. and saving iixe entire planet were never so many. never so urgent. never so tremendous. as now. Have you not notion-d. the willingness pf the printing press of the country to give the sub- ject of evangelism full swing in column after column: Such work was former- ly confined to tract distribution and religious journalism.

Rah-shakeh, like many another bad man. said a very suggestive thing. The world: isdfull of great energies and great opportunities. but few know how to bridle them and mount them and manage. them. More spirited horses than competent riders. The fact is that in‘ 'the' church of God we have pien y of fortresses well manned. and plenty of‘hcaxy artillery, and plenty of solid‘columns of brave Christian soldiers. but what we most need is cavalryâ€"mounted troops of Godâ€"for sudden charge- that seems almost de- sperate.

Clear back in time. 0sy-. mandyas led 20,000 mounted troops. in Bactrtana. Josephus says that when the Israelites escaped from Egypt 50,- 000 cavalrymcn rode through the parted Red Sea. Three hundred and seventy one years before Christ Epaminondas headed his troops at. full gallop. Alex- ander. on a horse that no other man could ride. led his mounted troops. Seven thousand horsemen decided the struggle at Arbela. Although saddles ‘were not invented until the time of iConstantine. and stirrups were un- known until about. four hundred and lt‘ifry years after Christ. you hcar the ‘neighing and snorting of warch-argers .in the greatest battles of tho agcs. lAusterlitz and Marengo and Solfcrino Hverc decided by the cavalry. The lmounted Cossacks re-cnt‘orced the lRussian snow-storms in the oblitera- tion of tha French army.

For lack of this appropri- ate speed many do not get into heaven at all. Here we are in tlhe last Sab- bath of the year.' Did you ever know a. twelfth month quidker to ‘be gone? The golden rod of one autumn speaks to the golden rod of the _nex_t autumn, and the crocus of one springtime to the crocus of another spgmgume, and the snowm.nks of adjoining years almost reaoh each other in unbroken curve.

The woman at Sedan, in whose» house Napoleon the Last was waiting 'to make surrender of himself and his \army, said to the overthrown French Emperor. “'What can I do for you?” And the despairing ex-mona- arch replied, “Nothing but draw down tho blind so that I cannot be stared at." In this gospel campaign we have plenty to draw down the blinds. In God's name I say pull up the blinds {and let the morning sun of the comâ€" m: victory shinc upon us. \Vhat we want in this campaign for God is the self abnegation and courage of the men of Sir Colin Camplmll, who. as Lord Bishop Cowie, of New Zealand. once chaplain of his army. told me. said to the troops: ”Men. no retreat from this place. Die right here." And they shouted. ” Yes. Sir Colin, we will dowitl” And they did.

Look not behind lhee; neither stay than in all ithe plain!” Other cavalry troops may fall back. but mounted years never re- ;lreai.

Perhaps there are two years in which we are innsl' interestedâ€"our first and our last. Hold _up in our mohher’s arms. we watched the flight. of the first. With wonder- :ing eyes we 3111 watch the coming of {the last. The name of that advancing Iyear we cannot call.

Or in ’lmstfulxness, as did Vespasian, saying- ' in his last moment, “Ah, methinkslam becoming a god."_ Or in frivolity,as did .Demonux. the infidel philosopher,saying in: his last moment. "You may go home; the show is over." \Or conscience §s1ricken3as did Charles IX.of France, Lsaying 1n his last moment: "Nurse.

It is said that Irish girls have the best eyes. the keenest wit. the brightest complexions and‘ the most beautiful hands of all the women in the world. the hands of the American girls being: declared too narrow and too long, those of the Englishgx 'rls too plump, German , six-15' hands too broad and fat while. the Spanish fenmnne hand I: the least as 's. iah fen We: all Oh. it will be grand when from the windows and doors of the “house of many mansions," we look out and see passing along the golden boulevards of heaven the white horse cavalry that. St. John describes in Revelation? John Wesley said he thought. horses had souls: but, take the story in Re- velation as figurative or literal. you must admit“ that none but cavalry horses is mentioned as being in heaven; John xix., 14. “The armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses." You see, they are mounted troops. Their lender is in deep crim- son attire. His v'esture we are told. is “dipped in blood." not blood of hu- man slaughter, as many other conquer- ers have their attire. but His own blood. blood of crucifixion agony, the blood by which He redeemed you and me. That deep red garment is in vivid contrast with the snowy white charger on which our Lord is seated. Alnd no saved sinner can gaze on that red and that white without remembering that though his sins were once red, like crimson, they have become whiter than snow. . i ing in his last moment: “Stand. aside! I see in) father and mother coming Lo kiss me.’ Or as did thf: dying girl 11 ho, having a. few evenings befoxe sat ona bench in a. London mission, 11:15 seen to have tears of contrition rolling down her cheek. and who, departing from the room, had put in her hand by a Christian woman a. Bible. with the passage marked: "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.‘ ’Jhough ha1ing promised to be at the next meeting. she did not come. Then let the creaking door of the closmg year go shut. When that closes. better. doors will open. The world’s brightest and happxest years are yet to come. quard them we speed on in swiftast stlrrun, Cavalry charge at Inkerman was not/'80 rapid. At last. the equestrxans equal the chargers. At last the riders are as many as the horses. As from the windows and doors of the f'house of many mansions" we look on the passing spectacle some of us will wish that on earth we had had less salary and more hardship, loss comfort and more exposure, less caution and more courage, less shelter and more'storm, less smooth sailing and more‘ cyclone, and that we had dared all at the front instead of taking good care of ourselves in the rear. For- ward, mounted troops! Favorites of heaven! Cavalrymen and cavalry- women of the Lord God Almighty. No chargers of heaven too white or too arched of neck or too prancing of gait for those seated on them. If Job’s warhorse while the battle. was going on said, “Ha, ha!" shall not these charg- ers, now that the day is won. uttera. more jubilant "Ha, ha?" Forward unâ€"‘ der arches of triumph. by fountains rainbowed of eternal joy, and amid gar- dens abloom with unfading affores- cence and along palaces where, after they have dismounted, these souls shall reign forever and ever, they march, they brandish their weapons with which they gainedjaloodless victory, and they rise in stirrups of gold to greet all the rest of heaven,. gazing upon them from the amythistine hal- conies. A glorious heaven it will be for all of us who anywhere and any- how served the Lord, but an especial heaven, a mounted heaven, 3. proces- sional heaven for those who have done outside work, exposed work, and he- longed to the Lord's cavalry. “The ar- mies which were in ‘heaven followed him uponwhite horses." ‘ Oh, those celestial cavalcades whom.» our conqueror in scarlet shall lead on ' through the_ streets of heayen! « g “OH, WAD SOME POWER THE GIFTIE G’IE US,TAE SEE OORSELS AS ITHERS SEE US.” OMEMEE.

DON 'T \VORRY. There is but one way out of the dif-‘ ficulty. It is impossible to avoid the causes for worry, for there is no day that does not bring its share, but the trouble lies in the fact that so many yield weakly to the depressions towhich nearly everyone is 'liable, and do not make any effort to _rise sugerior to their trials. \\ orry is not a ways the acmm animent of great troubles: it more requen‘ily arises from petty cares, the constant in and fret of which in time wears out the life. These can surely be put aside if one has the will to do so and this is most easily done by sbustituting in their places thoughts of other and better things, which will take the mind out of self and selfiSh affairs and turn it in other channels.

Canadians {have not taken a. great deal of interest. in the guerilla. war- fare now being pursued in the Island of Cuba, and of which the chief feat- ure would appear to be murder, tem- pered by dynamite. For the sake of humanity they would desire, indeed, to see the struggle brought to a close and peace once more restored to one of the fairest spots of earth; A great mass of stuff is printed for the sakie of sen- sation; sanguinary battles have been Dwightâ€"sometimes in the imagination; and, owing to the difficulty of obtain- ing the sober facts, the newspaper cor- respondent feels himself justified in giving full play to his fancy. V So far, Generél Maceo appears to have been the hero of the struggle. He was every inch a. soldier. He hated Spanish rule. with an intensity which is only explicable when it is understood that most; of the members of his family were shot by the Spanish Government in the previous rebellion. “His tactiw were at once daring and baffling; he decoyed the Spanish troops, picked them off in detail, rushed up- on them LIKE A WHIRLWIND, made a. sweeping charge, and rode gaily away. There seems to be little doubt as to the death of the guerilla. leader, though opinion differs as to the manner of the event itself. In the last struggle for freedom which began in 1868 and ended in 1874, Macao took an active part. He escaped with his life, but carried up- on his person no less than twenty-one- gunshot wounds. He retired to Costa Rica with four bullets in his body. The wounds which these bullets made heal- ed, and he carried the Lead within him till the day of: his death.

In 1891 he had estab- lished himsalf in Costa. Rim, the gov- ernment of which had given him some conqessions for the purpose of estab- lishing a tobacco plantation.
