Dr. Tal- moge’l hex-men in the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon was a. powerful and eloquent plea for practical Christianity The subject I! announced was, “ Wing and Bend,” the text, being Ezekiel x, 21- “The likeness of the heads of n men wasl under their wings.” I While tossed on the sen between Ana- tnlin and Ceylon I first particularly notic- ed this text, of which then and there I made memorandum. This chnpter is all: a-flntter with chernbim. Who are the cherubim? An order of angels, radiant- mighty, all knowing. adoring, worshipfnl. When pointer or sculptor tried in temple at Jerusalem or in marble of Egypt to represent the cherubim, he made them part lion, or part ox, or part eagle But much at that is an unintended burlesqne‘of the chernbim whose majesty and speed and splendor we wil never know until, lifted into their pres- ence, we behold them for ourselves, as I pray by the pardoning grace of God we al1 may. But all the accounts Biblical, and all the suppositions human, represent the cherubim with wings, each wing about seven feet long, vaster, more imposing than any plumage that ever floated in earthlyatmosphere. Condorin flight above Chimborazo, or Rocky mountain eagle aiming for the noonday sun, or albatross inplay with ”can tempest, presents no such glory. We can get an imperfect idea of the wing of cherubim by the only wing; we see~- the bird’s pinionâ€"which is thel srm of the mm, but in some respects more wondrous than the human arm; .with power of making itself more light or more heavy; of expansion and contraction, defy- ing all altitudes and all abysms; the bird looking down with pity upon boasting man as he tells up the sides of the Adirondacks, while the wing. with a few strokes, puts the highest crags far beneath claw and beak. But the bird's wing is only a feeble suggestion of cherubim Wing. The great- In}; 70;", ihst, the rapidit§ of that, the radiance of that. the Bible again and again sets forth. My attention is not more attracted by those wings than by what they reveal when lifted. In two places in Ezekiel we are told there were hands under the wings, human hands, hands like ours, “ The like- ness of the hands of a man was under the wings.” We have all noticed the wing of the cheruhim. but no one seems yet to have noticed the human hand under the wing. There are whole sermons, whole anthems, whole doxologies, whole milieniums in that combination of hand and wing‘. If this World is ever brought to God, it will be by appreciation of the fact that supernatural and human agencies are to go together; that which soarsland that which practically works ; that which ascends the heavens and that which reaches for to earth ; the joining of the terrestrial an the celestial ; the hand and wing. We see this union in the construction of the liible. The wing of inspiration is in every chapter. \Vhat realms of the ransomed earth did Isaiah fly over '! Over what battlefields for right- eousness,what coronations, what dominione of gladness, what rainbows around the throne did St. ”John hover 2 But in every 1 book of the Bible you just as certainly see the human hand that wrote it. Moses. the lawyer, showed his hand in the Ten Com- mandments, the foundation of all good legislation ; Amos, the herdsman, showing his hand in similes drawn from fields and flocks ; the fishermen apostles showing their hand when writing aboutgospel nets ; Lake, the physician, showing his hand by giving especial attention to diseases cured ; Paul showing his scholarly hand by quoting from heathen poets and making arguments about the resurrection that stand as firmly as on the day he planted them,and St. John shows his hand by taking his imagery from the appearance of the bright waters around the island of Patmos at hour of sunset,when he speaks of the sea of glass mingled with fire.

No more conspicuous the uplifting wing of inspira- tion than the hand, the warm bend, the flexible hand, the skillful hand of human instrumentality. "The likeness of the hands of 3 men was under the wiugs.” Agnin, behold this combination of my 1‘ text in ell snécessful Christian work.

But all who know the history of England for the last fifty years know that the prayer for that infant more than seventy years ago has been answered, and with what emâ€" ‘ phasis and atl'ection millions of the Queen’s subjects have this day in the chapels and cathedrals, on land and sea, supplicated. “God save the Queen !” Prayer flies not only across continents. but across centuries. If prayer had only feet, it might run here and there and do wonders. But it has wings. and they are radiant of plume and as swift to rise or swoop or dart or circle as the cherubim wing; which swept through Ezekiel’s vision. at. oh, my friends, the lprayer must. have the hand under the wing, or it may amount to nothing. The lmother’s hand or the father’s hand must I write to the wayward boy. as soon as you ".nu. -v can hear how to address him. Christian souls must contribute to the evangelism of that far of} land for which they have been pmyinu.

Have you been praying for the salvation ‘ of a. young man’s soul 2 That is right, but. also extend the hand of invitation to come to a religious meeting. It elways excites our sympathy to see a man with his hand in a sling. We ask him : “ What is the matter 2 Hope it. is not a. felon,” or “ Have your fingers been crushed 2" But nine out. of ten of all Christians are going their life- long with their hand in a sling. They have been hurt. by indifierence or wrong ideas of what is best. or it. is injured of convention- alities, and they never put. forth that. hand ‘to lift. or help or rescue any one. They pray, and their prayer has wings, but there ‘ is no hand under the wings.

You know something of the “ Bridgewster Treaties.” When Rev. Francis Henry Bridgewuter. in his will, left. $40,000 for essays on “The Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God as Manifest- r‘-II Iv suuvu- u...“ v.._~-_-7_c ed in the Creation,” and Davies Gilbert,1 the president of the Royal Society, chose eight persons to write eight books, Sir Charles Bell, the scientist, chose as the subject of his great book. “The Hand, Its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evincing Design.” 0b, the hand! Its machinery beginning at the shoulder, and working through shafts of bone, upper arm and forearm down to the eight bones of the wrist, and the five bones of the palm, and the fourteen bones of the fingers and the thumb, and composed of a labyrinth ; of muscle and nerve and artery and flesh, I which no one but Almighty God could have planned or executed. But how suggestive when it reached down to us from under the wings of the cherubim ! "The likeness of the hands of a man was under the wings.” This idea is combined in Christ. When He rose from Mount Olivet, He took wing. All up and. down His life you see the uplifting divinity. It glowed in His forehead. 1t flashed in His eye. Its ca- dences were heard in His voice. But He was also very human; It was the hand under the wing that touched the woes of: the world and took hold of the sympathies of the centuries. Watch His hand before it was spiked. There was a dead girl in s. governor’s house, and Christ comes into the room and take-s her pale, cold hands in His warm grasp, and she opens her eyes on the weeping household and says: “Father, what are you crying about? Mother, what are you crying about?" The book says, “ He took her by the hand, and the maid rose.” A follower, anger- ed atan insult offered Christ, drew the sword from sheath and struck at a man ‘with the sharp edge, aiming, I think, at his forehead. But the weapon glanced aside and took off the right ear at its roots. Christ with His hand reconstruct- ed that wonderiul organ of sound, that whispering gallery of the soul, the collect- ‘ or of vibrations, that arched way to the auditory nerve, that tunnel without which all the musical instruments at earth would be of no avail. The book says, “He touched his ear and healed him.” Meeting a full grown man who had never been a sunrise, or a sunset, or a flower, or the face of his own father or mother, Christ moistens the dust from His own tongue and stirs the dust into an eye salve, and His own hands applies the strange medicament, and suddenly all the colors oi earth and sky rush in upon the newly created optic nerve, and the instan- taneous noon drove out the long night. When he sees the grief of Mary and; 1 Martha, He sits down and cries with them. . Some say it is the shortest verse in the Bible, but to me it seems,because of its far- ‘ reaching sympathies, about the largestâ€" “Jesus wept !” So very humane. He could not stand the‘sight oi dropey or epilepsy or paralysis or hunger or dementia, but He r stretches out his sympathetic hand toward ‘ it. So very, very humane. Omnipotent i and majestic and glorious, this angel of the ‘ ‘ new convent, with wings capable of en- } circling a universe, and yet hands ofgentle- I . ness, hands of helpfulness, “The hands of a 3 man under the wings.” There is a Kind of ‘ religion in our day that my text rebukes. i There are men and women spending their ; time in delectation over their saved state, , i going about from prayer meeting to prayer i meeting and from church to church telling n how happy they are. But show them a i subscription paper, or ask them to go and . 1 visit the sick, or tell them to reclaim a. I wanderer, or speak out for some unpopular } i Christian enterprise, and they have bron-i ‘chitis, or stitch in the side, or a sudden attack of grippe. Their religion is all wing and no hand. They can fly heavenward. but they cannot reach out earthward. While Thomas Chalmers occupied the chair of moral philosophy in’ St. Antlrews’ university he had at " e same time a Sab- . bath school class of poor boys down in the {plums of Edinburgh. While Lord F itz- -lgenld was traveling in Canada he saw a :ipoor Endiem sqnaw carrying a crushing :' load, out he took the burden on his own “shoulders. That was Christlike.

A friend was telling me of an exquisfl ite thing about Seattle, then of Washin- ‘ ton, territory, now of Washington- state. The people of Seattle had raised a gener- ous sum of money for the J ohnstown suf- ferers from the flood. A few days after' Seattle was destroyed by fire. I.saw it while the whole city was living in tents. In a public meeting some one proposed that the money raised for Johnstown be used for the relief of their own city, and the cry was, “No! No! No ! Send the money to Johnstown,” and by aeolamation the money was sent. Nothing more beautiful or sublime than that. Under the wing of fire that smote Seattle the sympathetic hand, the helping hand, the mighty hand l of Christian relief for people thousands of 1 miles away. Why, here a hundred thousand men and women whose one business is to help others. Helping hands, inspiring hands, lifting hands, emancipating hands, saving hands. Sure enough, those people had wings of faith. and wings of prayer, and wings of consola- tion, but “ the likeness of the hands of a man was under the wings.” There was much sense in that which the robust boat man said when three were in a. boat off the coast in a sudden storm that threatened to sink the boat, and one suggested that they all kneel down in the boat to pray, and the robust man took hold of the oar and began to pull, saying, " Let you, the strong, stout fellow, lay hold the other , -A__-. null “0H, WAD SOME'POWER THE wvnvua' ~‘v-- -_..- oar, and let the weak one who cannot pull give himself up to prayer.” Pray by all 1 means, but at the same time pull with all your might for the world’s relcne. An arc- tic traveler hunting beaver while the ice was breaking up, and supposing that there was no human being within 100 miles, heard the ice crackle, and, lo. a lost man, insane with hunger and cold, was wading in the ice water. The explorer took the man into his canoe and made for land, and the people gathered on the shore. All the islanders had been looking for the lost man and finding him, according to prearrange- ment, all the bells rang and the guns fired.

My dear boy died with the spinal complaint.” And such a. one she found and took him home and nursed him till he was well. It, would make a sermon three weeks long to do justice to the mighty things which our cities are doing for the unfortunube and the lost. Do not, say then Christianiny in our cities is all show and bulk and genuflexion and sacred noise. You have been so long look- uvsvu anvv. _ ing at the hand of cruelty, and the hand of theft, and the hand of fraud, and the hand of outrage that you have not suffi- ciently appreciated the hand of help stretched forth from the doors and windows of churches and from merciful institutions, the Chriatlike and the cherubic hand. “ the hand under the wings.” There is also in my subject the sugges- tion of rewarded work for God and right- eouness. When the wing went, the hand went. When the wing ascended, the hand ascended, and for every useful and Chris- tian hand there will be elevation celestial and eternal. Expect no human gratitude, for it will not come. That was a wise thing Fenelon wrote to his friend : “I am very glad, my dear good fellow, that you are pleased with one of my letters which has been shown to you. You are right in saying and believing that Iask little of men in general. 1 try to do much for ‘ them and to expect nothing in return. I ‘ find a decided advantage in these terms.0n these terms I defy them to disappoint me.” But, my hearers, .the day cometh when your work, which perhaps no one hae‘ ,uoticed or rewarded or honored, will rise to heavenly recognition While I have been telling you that t‘w hmd was ‘under the Wing of the chexu ,tnl I Want you to realize that the wing was over the lhand.

This is a mistake, as has been pointed out by a learned writer in the Eclair. The first man milliner of whom history takes notice. says the London Daily News, was Rlxomberg, who became famous in Paris in the reign of Louis XV. He was the son of a Bavarian peasant. His manner of adver- tising in the early part of the eighteenth century was to send out carts, the body of which represented s. corset,while the shafts were made in imitation of a pair of tailor-'3 "Clo llluuv ... .... -____,,, shears.

The special policing of the rulers of France has been a subject that the Govern- ment has for the most part paid a good deal of attention to. During the days of the first empire the guard that protected the person of Napoleon III. was kept on duty in the palace day and night. At func- tions within, and whenever the Emperor went without, a handful of men in plain clothes continually surrounded him. The commandant of this guard was the Chief Hyrvoix, who was wont to travel directly before the imperial conveyance in a little ‘ coupe drawn by a swift and tireless trot- lter, while his subordinates followed on horseback or in carriages. On journeys ,this accomplished detective occupied a ,_s_:..1 5..-.‘n ant; L1H! uUUUIllvnlull‘A- vvvvvvv . compartment in the imperml tram, and whenever the train drew up at. a station be used to jump out and go into the telegraph office 13 glean whatever information he could over the wires. ‘ ‘ ' fl , A L‘A" A; “Thiers had also his trained body 0111 special policemen, headed by one of the‘ cleveresr French “sleuth hounds" of the l day. During one ofhis tours 1 AS AMUSING xxcmsn'r. ‘ occurred at Havre. One of the inspectors, while prowling through the cafes heard a man say in a low tone that was full of ‘ meaning : “Do you know M. Thiers‘! Very well ! He is done for. It is a sure thing that he will never return alive to Paris.” Upon hearing this the inspector at once detailed one of the most vigilant men of the corps to shadow the fellow who had thus spoken. This the man himself soon perceived, and, going up to the detective with an air of bland unconsciousness, he told him that he knew exactly why he (the detective) was following him up in this way, ‘uud that he proposed to afiord him every 1 l facility in his task. He invited the shad- ower to walk by his side instead of behind him ; to come to the house he was staying at and dine with him ; to sleep in his bed ; to be constantly within finger-touch of him, until President Thiers should have quitted Havre. This proposition the detective accepted, and did not find the slightest thing to arouse his suspicions. It was never found out whether it was a joke played upon the police force or simply an l unthinking mistake based on mere rumor on the part of the suspected citizen. Marshal MacMahon, when he was Presi- dent, had a force of sixteen men constantly surrounding him, under the command of the distinguished M. Blavrer. Whenever it Was possible, Blavier accompanied the old Marshal on foot, but as MacMahon used most frequently to ride,itbecame a necessity for the Chief of the Elysee Police to be mounted also. blavier was exceedingly corpulent. and it was only with the greatest difficulty that he could stick on the back of a horse. Nevertheless, rather than lose the excellent position that fate had granted him, he put himself into the saddle many days of the week. A deepntch from Washington.

He can kick harder than a mule, travel 1 faster than a horse, and grow fat on food at which a goat would elevate his nose.
