Text: "‘Then shall e rwe up from the ambush and seize pos the city‘"â€"Joshua vili., 7. One Sunday evening, with my familly round me, we were talking over the sene of the text. In the wide open ves and the quick interrogations and h« blanched cheeks I realised what a hriling drama it was. ‘There is the 14 city, shorter by name than any ther cty in the ages, spelled with two â€"tters. A, I, Ai. Joshua and his men lunt to tuke it. HOW t0 GO It is the the wine party! Your flight is your adâ€" vance: your retreat is your victory. Here is a converted infidel. He is so strong now in his faith in the gospel he says he can read anything. What are you reading? Bolingbroke? Anâ€" drew Jackson Davis‘ tracts? Tyndall‘s Glasgow university address? Drop them and run. You will be an infidel before you die if you don‘t quit that. These men of Ai will be too much for vou. Turn your back on the rank and 8o, also, there is victorious retreat in the religious world. Thousands of times the kingdom of Christ has seemed to fall back. When the blood of the Scotch Covenanters gavo a deeper dye to the heather of the highlands, when the Vaudois of France chose exterminaâ€" tion rather than make an unchristian surrender, when on St. Bartholomew‘s day mounted assassins rode through the streets of Paris, crying "Kill! Sloodâ€"letting is good in August! Kill! Death to the Huguenots! Kill!‘ when Lady Jane Grey‘s head rolled from the executioner‘s block, when Calvin waus imprisoned in the castle, when John Knox died for the truth, when John Bunyan lay rotting in Bedford jail, saying, "If God will help me and my physical life continues, I will stay here until the moss grows on my cyegrown rather than give up my faith," the days of retreat for the church were of victory. mt there is a more marked illustraâ€" tion of victorious retreat in the life of our Joshua, the Jesus of the ages.

You wer farther apte to Golgotha, back from Golgotha, tO the mausoleum in the rock, back down over the precipices of perdition until he walked amid the caverns of the eterâ€" nal captives and drank of the wine of the wrath of the Almighty God, amid the Ababs, and the Jezebels, and the Belshazzars. Oh, men of the pulpit and men of the pew, Christ‘s descent from heaven to earth does not measure half the distance! It was from glory to perdition. He descended into hell. All the records of earthly retreat are back t Lesson the fourth: The importance of taking good aim. There is Joshua, but how are those people in ambush up yonder to know when they are to drop on the city, and how are these men around Joshua to know when they are to stop their flight and advance? There must be some siznalâ€"a signal to stop the one division and to start the other. Joshua, with a spear on which were ordinarily hung the colors of battle, points toward the city. He stands in such a conspicuous position and there is so much of the morning light dripping from that spear tip, that all around the horizon they see it. It was as much as to say: ‘"‘There is the city. Take it!" * God knows and we know that a great deal of Christian attack amounts to nothing because we do not take gooid aim. Nobody knows and we do not know ourselves which point we want to take when we ought to make up Gar minds what Cod will have us do and point our speéar in that dirextioa _ad minds what Cod will have us do and point our sp¢éar in that diressiva ~nd then hurl our body, mind, soul, time, eternity at that one target. In our pulâ€" pits and pews ard Sunday schools and prayer meetings we want to get a repâ€" utation for saying pretty things, and so we point our spear toward the flowâ€" ers, or we want a reputation for sayâ€" ing sublime things, and we point our spear toward the sky, or we want to get a reputation for historical knowlâ€" edge, and we point our spear toward the past, or we want to get a reputaâ€" tion for great liberality, so we swing our spear all around, while there is the old world, proud, rebellious and armed ugainst all righteousness, and instead of runfiing any farther away from its pursuit we ought to turn around, plant our foot in the strength of the eternal God, lift the old cross and point it in the direction of the world‘s conquest till the redeemed of earth, marching up from one side and the glorified of heavyâ€" en marching down from the other side, the last battlement of sin is conépellod to swing out the streamers of Emanâ€" uel. O, church of God, take aim and nothing compared with this falling conquer. the spear in any other %g-ecuon. 0, for some of the courage aad enthusiasm of Joshua! He flung two armies from the tip of that spear. It is sinful for us to rest unless it is to get stronger I have heard it said, Look out for & man who has only one idea; he 4g/irâ€" resistible. I say look out for the man who has one idea, and that a deterâ€" mination for soul saving. I believe God would strike me dead if I dared to point ing good aim. There is ow are those people in nder to know when the on the city, and how i round Joshua to know w > stop their flight and must be some si@gnalâ€" n the one division and Golgotha, to uk s heart for God‘s work. I feel un my head the hands of Christ in a new orâ€" dination. Do you not fee! the same omâ€" nipotent pressure? ‘There is a work for all of us. Oh, that we might stand up side by side and point the spesr toward the city! It ought to be taken. It will be taken. t muscle and fresher brain and purer It is comparatively easy to keep on a parade amid a shower of bouquets and hand clappings and the whole street full of enthusiastic nuzzas, tut it is not so easy to stand up in the day of battle, the face blackened with smoke, the uniform covered with the earth plowed up by whizzing bullets and bursting shells, half the regiment cut to pieces, and yet the commander erying "Forward, march!" Then it reâ€" quires oldâ€"fashioned valor. My friends, the great trouble of the kingdom of God in this day is the cowards. They do splendidly on a izxrade day and at communion, when they have on their best clothes of Christian profession, but in the great battle of life, at the first sharpshooting of â€" skepticism, they dodge, they fall back, they break ranks., We confront the enemy, we open the battle against fraud, and, lo, we Qnd and w oÂ¥ 201200A 2.

The nations are quaking now with the coming of God. It will be a year of successes for the men of Joshua, but of doom for the men of Ai. You put your ear to the rail track, and you hear the train coming miles away. So I put my ear to the ground, and I hear the thundering on of the lightning train of God‘s mercies and judgments. The mercy of God is first to be tried upon this nation. It will be preached in the pulpits. Year of mercies and of judgments; year of invitation and of warning:; year of jubilee and of woe.

WOX BRIOE IN LOTTERY, But Klose Drew a Blank Inâ€" stead of a Prize. DESERTED HIM THREE TIMES, J She boarded, before she changed her name, with a Mrs. Sievers, on Second street, Hoboken. In the same house resided a young man named Harry Vogart. â€" He fell in love with Bertha. This was the Christian name of the young and pretty Jewess. She partly reciprocated his _ affection. Business brought Klose to the . Secâ€" ond street house, and he fell in love with Bertha and lost no time in tellâ€" ing her so. He next told her that he wished to make her his wife. A MATTER OF BUSINESS,. The girl hesitated, but the landlady, who was a business woman, told Bertha to accept the offer. She agresd, but a protest was lodged against the proposed compact by Voâ€" gart, who said that he had a prior claim on the edglrl's affections. Bertha was undecided how to act, and, seeâ€" ing her hesitancy, \'o§art exclaimed ; "Let‘s draw lots for her." Kios> didn‘t like the idea, but the yourger lover was positive and deâ€" monstrative. Two straws were proâ€" cured and cut into different lengths. Bertha held the straws and Vogart had first pull. He drew the shorter straw, and Klose smiled _ and . got closer to his intended bride. "That draw wasn‘t fair!" protestâ€" ed the younger man. "Bertha should not have held the straws. Let Mrs. Sievers hold them." 4 This was agread upon after a vigâ€" orous kick from Klose. Again Yogart lost. The furniture dealer hurried Bertha to the office of Justice of the Pearace Gaescke, at Newark and Clinâ€" ton streots, and in express time the knot was tied. LIKED BREAKFAST IN BED. Trouble began a week later, when Bertha refused to get up in the mornâ€" ings and break{ast with her Jord and master. She preferred having _ her breakfast in bed. This was too much for Max, and he said rude things to his bride of a week, and she left the houso for three days. Twice again this was repeated, and the fourth time was too much for the husband. He called upon the police to help him, as related. Klose was advised by the sergeant in charge of the desk to apply to the Court of Chancery for redress.â€"N. Y. Telegraph.
