T‘here are two armies encamped by the pool of (Ciibeon. The time hangs heavily on their nands. One army proposes a game of sword fencing. Nothing could be more healthful and innocent. The other army accepts the challenge. Twelve men against twelve men, the sport opens. Bu: something went adversely. Perhaps one of the ewordsmen got an unlucky clip or in some way had his ire aroused, and that which opened in sportfulness ended in violence, each one taking his contestâ€" ant by the hair and with the sword thrusting him in the side, so that that which opened in innocent fun ended in the massacre of all the twentyâ€"four sportsmen. Was there ever a better illustration of what was true then and is true nowâ€"that that which is innoâ€" cent may be made destructive? What of a worldly nature is more important and strengtnening and inâ€" mocent than amusement, and yet what has counted more victims? I have no sympathy with a straightâ€"jacket reâ€" liglon. This is a very bright world to me, and I propose to do all I can to make it bright for others. I never could keep step to a dead march. A book years ago issued says that a Christian man has a right to some amusements. For instance, if he comes home at night weary from his work, and, feeling the need of recreaâ€" tion, puts on his slippess and goes into his garret and walks lively round the floor several times there can be no harrm in it. I believe the church of God made a great mistake in trying to suppress the sportfulness of youth and drive out from men their love of amusement. If God ever implanted anything in us, he implanted this deâ€" sire. But instead of providing for this remand of our nature the church of God has for the main part ignored it. ‘As in a riot the mayor plants a batâ€" tery at the end of the street and has it fired off, so that everything is cut down that happens to stand in the range, the good as well as the bad, so there are men in the church who plant their batteries of condemnation and fire away indiscriminately. Everyâ€" thing is condemned. But Paul the apostle condemns those who use the world without abusing it, and in the natural world God has done everything to please and amuse us. In poetic fAgure we sometimes speak of natural objects as being in pain, but it is a mere fancy. Poets say the clouds weep, but they never yet shed a tear, and that the winds sigh, but they never did have any trouble, and that the storm howls, but it never lost its temper. The world is a rose and the universe a garland. And I am glad to know that in all our cities there are plenty of places where we may find elevated moral entertainment . But all honest men and good women will agree with me in the statement that one of the worst things in these cities is corâ€" rupt amusement. Multitudes have gone down under the blasting influâ€" ence never to rise. If we may judge of what is going on in many of the places of amusements by the pictures on board fences and in many of the show windows, there is not a much lower depth of profligacy to reach. ‘At Naples, Italy, they keep such picâ€" tures locked up from indiscriminate inspection. Those pictures were exâ€" humed from Pompeil and are not fit for public gaze. If the effrontery of bad places of amusement in hanging eut improper advertisements of what they are doing night by night grows worse in the same proportion, in 50 years some of our modern cities will beat Pompeii. (Washington report : This discourse Vfiremnr-k. in the first place, that you can judge of the. moral characâ€" f in accord with all of the adventure, love that takes poison and shoots itself, moonlight adventures and hairbreadth escapes, you may depend upon it that you are the sacrificed vicâ€" tim of unsanctified pleasure. Our recâ€" reations are intended to build us up, and if they pull @s gown as to our moral or as to our physical strength you may come to the eenclusion that they are obnoxious. There is nothing rmore depraving than attendance upon amusements that are full of innuendo and low suggesâ€" tion. The young man enters. At first he sits far back, with his hat on and his coat collar up, fearful that someâ€" body there may know him. Several nights pass on. He takes off his hat earlier and puts his coat collar down. The blush that first came into his cheek when anything indecent was ena@cted comes no more to his oheek. Farewell, young man! You have probably startâ€" ed on the long road which ends in conâ€" summate destruction. The stars of hope will go out one by one, until you will be left in utter darkness. Still further, those amusements Are wrong which lead you into expendiâ€" ture ‘beyond your means. Money spent in recreation is not thrown away. It is all folly for us to come from a place of amusement feeling that we have wasted our money and time. You may by it have made an investment worth more than the transâ€" action that yielded you hundreds of thousands of dollars. But how many properties have been riddled by costly amusements. I saw a beautiful home, where the bell rang violently late at night. The son had been off in sinful indulgences. His comrades were bringing him home. They carried him to the door. They rang the bell at 1 o‘clock in the mornâ€" ing. Father and mother came down. They were waiting for the wandering son, and then the comrades as soon aSs the door was opened threw the prodigal headlong into the doorway, crying: "There he is, drunk as a fool! Ha! ha‘" When men go into amusements that they cannot afford, they first borâ€" row what they cannot earn, and then they steal what they cannot borrow. First they go into embarrassment and then into lying and then into theft, and when a man gets as far on as that he does not stop short of the penitentiary. There is not a prison in the land where there are not victims of unsanctified amusements. Merchant, is there a disarrangement in your accounts? Is there a leakage in your money drawer? Did not the cash account come out right last night? I will tell you. There is a young man in your store wandering off into bad amusements. The salary you give him may meet lawful expenditures, but not the sinful indulgences in which he has entered, and he takes by theft that which you do not give him in lawful salary. P How brightly the path of unrestrain-] ed amusement opens! The young man says: "Now I am off for a good time. Never mind economy. I‘ll get money somehow. What a fine road! What a beautiful day for a ride! Crack the whip, and over the turnpike! Come, boys, fAll high your glasses. Drink! Long life, health, plenty of rides just{ like this!" Hardâ€"working men hear‘ the clatter of the hoofs and look up and say: ‘"Why, I wonder where those fellows get their money from. We have to toil and drudge. They do nothâ€" ing." To these gay men life is a thrill of excitement. They stare at other peoâ€" ple, and in turn are stared at. The watch chain jingles. The cup foams. The cheeks flash. The eyes fiash. The midnight hears their guffaw. They swagger. They jostle decent men off the sidewalk. They take the name of God in vain. They parody the hymn they learned at their mother‘s knee, and to all pictures of coming disaster they cry out, "Who cares!" and to the counsel of some Christian friend, "Who are you?" Your sports are merely means to an end. They are alleviations and helps. The arm of toil is the enly arm strongz enough to bring up the bucket out of the deep well of pleasâ€" ure. Amusement is only the bower where business and philanthropy rest while on their way to stirring achieveâ€" ments. Amusements are merely the vines that grow about the anvil of toil and the blossoming of the hammers. Alas for the man who spends his life in laboriously doing nothing, his days in hunting up lounging places and loungers, his nights in seeking out some gaslighted foolery! The man who alâ€" ways has on his sporting jJacket, ready to hunt for game in the mountain or fish in the brook, with no time to pray or work or read, is not so well off as the greyhound that runs by his side or the fly bait with which he whips the stream. _A man who does not work does not know how to play. If (Ciod had intended us to do nothing but laugh he would not have given us shoulders with which to lift and hands with which to work and brains with which to think. The amusements of life are merely the orchestra playing while the great tragedy of life plunges through its five actsâ€"infancy, childâ€" hood, manhood, old age and death. Then exit the last earthly opportunity. Enter the overwhelming realities of an eternal world!" I go further and say that all these amusements are wrong which lead into bad company. If you go to any place where you have to associate with the intemperate, with the unâ€" clean, with the abandoned, however well they may be dressed, in the name of God quit it. They will despoil your nature. They will undermine your moral character. They will drop you when you are destroyed. They will not give one cent to support your chilâ€" dren when you are dead. They will weep not one tear at your burial. I was summoned to the deathbed of a friend. I hastened. I entered the room. I found him, to my surprise, lying in full everyday dress on the top of the couch. I put out my hand, He grasped it excitedly and said, "Sit down, Mr. Talmage, right there." I sat down. He said: "Last night I saw my mother, who has been dead twenty years, and she sat just where you sit now. It was no dream. I was wide awake. There was no delusion in the ‘matter. I saw her just as plainly as I see you. Wife, I wish you would take these strings off me. There are strirgs spun all around my body. I wish you would. take them off me." I saw it was delirium. "Oh," replied his wife, "my dear, there is nothing there, there is nothing there." He went on and said: "Just where you sit, Mr. Talmage, my mother sat. She said to me ‘Henry, I do wish you would do better,‘ I got out of bed, put my arms around her and said: ‘Mother, I want to do betâ€" ter. I have been trying to do better. Won‘t you help me to do better? You used to help me.‘ No mistake about it, no delusion. I saw herâ€"the cap and the apron and the spectacles, just as she used to look twenty years ago. But I do wish you would take these strings away. They annoy ‘me so! I can hardly talk. Won‘t you take them away?" I knelt down and prayâ€" ed, conscious of the fact that he did not realise what I was saying. I got up. I said: "Goodâ€"bye, I hope you will be bettar soenm." He said, "Goodâ€" bye, goodâ€"bye" That night his soul went up to the God who gave It. Arrangements were made for the obsequies. Some said: ‘"‘Don‘t bring him to the church; he is too dissolute." â€" "Oh," I said, "bring him. He was a good friend of mine while he was alive, and I shall stand by him now that he is dead. Bring him to the church." As I sat in the pulpit and saw his body coming up through the aisle I felt as if I could weep tears of blood. I told the people that day: ‘"This man had his virtues, and a good many of them. He had his faults, and a good many of them. But if there is any man in this audience who is withâ€" out sin, let him cast the first stone at this coffin lid." On one side the pulpit sat that little child, rosy, sweet faced, as beautiful as any little child that sat at your table this morning, I warrant you. She looked up wistfully, not knowing the full sorrows of an orphan child. Oh, her countenance haunts me toâ€" day, like some sweet face looking upâ€" on us through a horrid dream. On the other side of the pulpit were the men who had destroyed him. ‘There they sat, hard visaged, some of them pale from exhausting disease, some of them fAlushed until it seemed as if the fires of iniquity flamed through the cheek and crackled the lips. They were the men who had done the work. They were the men who had bound him hand and foot. They had kindled the fires. They had poured the wormwood and gall into that orphan‘s cup. Did they weep? No. Did they sigh repentingly? No, no; not one bloated hand was lifted to wipe away a tear from A bloated cheek. They sat and looked at the coffin like vultures gazing at the carcass of a lamb whose heart they had ripped out. I cried in their ears as plainly as I could: ‘"There are a God and a judgment day." Did they tremble? Oh, no, no. They went back from the house of God, and that night, though their victim lay in Oakwood cemetery, I was told that they blasâ€" phemed, and they drank, and they gambled, and there was not one lers customer in all the houses of iniquity. This destroyed man was a Samson in physical strength, but Delilah sheared him, and the Philistines of evil comâ€" panionshtp dug his eyes out and threw him into the prison of evil habits. But in the hour of his death he rose up and took hold of the two pillared curses of God against drunkenness and uncleanness and threw himself forward until down upon him and his comâ€" panions there came the thunders of an eternal catastrophe. Again, any amusement that gives you a distaste for domestic life is bad. How many bright domestic circles have been broken up by sinful amuseâ€" ment! The father went off, the mothâ€" er went off, the child went off. There are toâ€"day fragments before me of blasted households. Oh, if you have wandered away, I would like to charm you back by the sound of that one word, "home." Do you not know that you have but little more time to give to domestic weifare? Do you not see, father, that your children are soon to go out into the world, and all the inâ€" fluence for good you are to have over them you must have now? Death will break in on your conjugal relations, and alas if you have to stand over the grave of one who perished from your neglect. Ah, my friends, there is an hour coming when our past life will probâ€" ably pass before us in review. It will be our last hour. If from our death pillow we have to look back and see a life spent in sinful amusement, there will be a dart that will strike through our soul sharper than the dGagger with which Virginius slew his child. The memory of the past will make us quake like Macb&p. The iniquities of rioting through :&h we have passed will come upon us, weird and skeleton as Meg Merrilies. Death, the old Shyâ€" lock, will demand and take the reâ€" maining drop of flesh and the remainâ€" ing drop of blood, and upon our last opportunity for repentance and our last chance for heaven the curtain will drop forever.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Commentary.â€"The elders of the church at Jerusalem desired to have Paul show to the Jews that he obâ€" served the law. Four men had come to Jerusalem to complete a Nazarite vow.

When Christ, reveals himgelf to the sgeeking soul earthly joys are last to view. If we would help people and lead them, away from their sins to God, we must go to them with tenderness and love. Jesus represented in His followers. The inquiry from Heaven addressed to the fallen and astonished sealot was not, Why persecutest thou My church, or My followers, but "Why persecutest thou Me ?"* _ Unconsciousâ€" ly, but none the less truly, Saul, in persecuting the followers of Jesus, was persecuting the Christ Himself, for whom the nation had been looking for generations, and of whose coming their prophets had foretold and their bards had sung; but who, when He appeared, "came unto His own and His own received Him not." "But to as many as received Him, to them Jesus Appears to Paul.â€"Acts 2: 616 PRACTICAL SURVEY sons of God." The persecutor enlightened. Proâ€" ceeding hastily on his mad mission, "armed with authority," determined to make "havoc" of the infant church at Damascus as he had done at Jernâ€" salem, and with his coveted prey, alâ€" most within his grasp, "suddenly there shone from Hcaven a great light about bim" "above the brightâ€" ness of the sun." Jesus deciared Himâ€" self to be "the Light of the World." John said of Him, "That is the True Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world." It was this "Jesus of Nazareth," who, meeting Eaul, shone upon him, and in that blinding flash disclosed to the man his own mistaken seal, and the digâ€" nity and glory of Him again@t whom he was ignorantly striving. _ gave He the power to become the A @incere inquirer. "Who are Thou, Lord ?"© was the astonished inquiry of the overwhelmed and â€" hun.ble Pharisee. The response, "I am Jesus of Nazareth,‘ announced the authoriâ€" tative source of the sudden and unexâ€" pected arrest. This settled, "What wilt thou have me to do?" came as the loyal and mincere Inquiry of the trembiing and astonished persecutor. Immediately there came directions sufficiently sxplicit for the present @ubys ""x . 32%;. j ho A timid disciple encouraged. ‘The unenviable fame of Saul of Tareus had preceded him. The havoc wrought at Jerugalem had become known through all that region and hac doubtless reached Damascus. . The church trembled at the approaclk of this man, the purpose of whose comâ€" ing they knew only too well. A chosen vessel. Such was the diâ€" vine purpose, though the subject seemed â€" so unlikely. God‘s instruâ€" ments have usually been those whose natural qualifications â€" or â€" Cisposiâ€" tions would have caused the "wisâ€" dom of men to pass them by." Here was the one chosen of God to fill the ranks of the apostles depleted by the treachery and sulcide of Juâ€" das Iscarlot; and having _ received this revelation of Jesus Christ he was "not a whit behind the chiefest of the apostles." Deep in the lower strata of human conditions are jewâ€" els of resplendent lustre, only waitâ€" ing to be touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindnass, and restored, by the grace of God to deck forever the coronet of the Saviour.â€"William H. Clark. SPRITUALISM HIS BAE Wife Victim of a Medium‘s Cunning Trickery. SHE BATTERED HUBBY‘S TILE New York, June 3.â€"Maud Huth, the wife of Wiilliam Clifford, the vaudeâ€" villie comedian, _ apparently â€" forgot yesterday afternoon that she hbad agreed to a separation from Clifford and proceedel to hammer his counâ€" lenance anu smash his silk hbhat as though still happily mated to him. i h> ingisted oa exorciâ€"log all the preâ€" ropatives ol a wile, alchough she has agreed to forego them. Mr, Clifford con equently feels quite hurt at Miss Hu h‘s condur s and will welcome the divorce decree that deprives her of the right to tamper with his feaâ€" tures. Some time ago Miss Huth informâ€" ed Mr. Clifford that although they had been pleasantly married for sevâ€" eral years and had as a souvenir of that association a sevenâ€"yearâ€"old son, she was nevertheless convinced that their union was a mistake. She had decided that it was best to dissolve the bonds that united them. TPhe Medium in it. Mr. Clifford, strange to say. had many objections. He did . not ap prove of Miss Huth‘s spiritualistic views and did not look favorably upon anyone intermeddling. _A cerâ€" tain medium‘s act in transmitting to Miss Huth messages from her first husband advising hor to leave Clifâ€" ford and marry the comedian . was looked _ upon _ by _ Mr. Clifford with something of â€" suspicion. Ho even hinted that the messages were bogus, which so incensed Miss Huth that she would hardly speak to her husband. Thoy agreed to finish the vaudeville geason together, however, and reâ€" mained in the same company until last Saturday night. when they closad in Montreal. Miss Huth then e‘gned an agroement permitting Mr. Clifford to sos his boy once a week, and thoy parted in a very friendly fashion. Mr. Clifford, it is true, felt romewhat pqued when he went into Miss Huth‘s apartments at the Auâ€" dubon recently and found the medâ€" ium thore in partial undress and perâ€" factly at hom», but he bit his nails firecely and contro‘led himself with a magteorly attempt. Then She in Torn Objected. Yesterday Miss Huth was passing the corner of Thirtyâ€"fifth street when she saw Mr. Clifiord talking to a very beantiful young woman, not ‘of the profession who hails from Baltimore. Miss Huth halted the cab and called Clifford to her. Then she spoke savagely to him and told him that she had changed her mind and would mot permit him to see the son at all at any time and that she disâ€" approved of his conduct in talking to women more beautiful than herâ€" self in open daylight on crowded Broadway. It was not the way for a husband toâ€"act, she told him; as she beat him wildly in the face and clawed at him with her nicely manicured nails. Mr. Clifford remarked that her conâ€" versation was decidedly irrelevant, whereupon she s.cuck him with ber parasol, breaking his silk hat and injuring his aplomb. i Gave the Driver Orders. By this time a large crowd had gathered and was applauding the bout. Mr. Clifford, who naturally shrinks from publicity, except when Hon. J. M. Gibson attended the annual meeting of the West Elgin Liberal Association and spoke. upon the stage, insisted that . Miss Huth ghould cease bhjer punching bag exercise and called to the driver to _ "Drive this woman to the | River| and drop her in," he said. "Ay, ay, sir," said the cab driving rapidly away. + ‘It is not known, however, that he carried out his instructions. ht s m btP uit '=i§ eC dW iO ARCHIVES TORONTO Leading Wheat Markets.
