O is eeurse, from a symbol of the Bible, Dr. Talmage urges the adoption of an unâ€" usual mode of estimating eharacter, and shows how different is the divine Proverbs xvi, 2: "The Lord weigheth the spirits." The subject of weights and measâ€" ures is discussed among all nations, is the subject of legisliation and has much to do with the world‘s prosperâ€" ity. A system of weights and measâ€" ures was invented by Phidon, ruler of Argos, about 800 years before Christ. An ounce, a pound, a ton, were difâ€" i_rent in different lands. Henry III decided that an ounce should be the weight of 640 dried grains of wheat from the middle of the ear. From the reign of William the Conqueror to Henrry VIII the English pound was the weight of 7,680 grains of wheat. Queen Elizabeth decreed that a pound should be 1,000 graing of wheat taken from the middle of the ear. The plece of platiâ€" num kept at the office of the exchequer in England in an atmosphere of 62 F. €@ecides for all Great Britain what a pound must be. Scieniific representaâ€" tives from all lands met in 1869 in Paris and established international standards of weights and measures. t# You all know something of avoirduâ€" pois weight, of apothecaries‘ weight, of troy weight. You are familiar with the different kinds of weighing maâ€" chines, whether a Roman balance, which is our steelyard, or the more usual instrument consisting of a beam #upported in the middle, having two basins of equal weight suspended to the extremities. Scales have been inâ€" vented to weigh substances huge like mountains, and others delicate enough to weigh infinitesimals. But in ali the universe there has only been one balâ€" ance that could weigh thoughts, emoâ€" tions, affections, hatreds, ambitions. That balance was fashioned by an Alâ€" mighty God and is hung up for perpetâ€" ual service. "The Lord weigheth the spirits." This divipe weigher puts into the ba!â€" ance the spirit of charity and decides hbhow much of it really exists. It may go for nothing at all. It may be that it says to the unfortunate, "Take this and do not bother me any more." It may be an occasional impulse. It may depend upon the condition of the liver or the style of breakfast partaken of a Httle while before. It may be called forth by the loveliness of the solicitor. It may be exercised in spirit of rivalry, which practically says, "My neighbor has given so much; therefore I must give as much." It is accidental or o¢câ€" easional or spasmodic. When such a spirit of charity is put irto the balâ€" ance and weighed, God and men and angels look on and say there is nothing of it. It does not weigh so much as a dram, which is only the oneâ€"eighth part of an ounce, or a scruple, which is only the 24th part of an ounce. A man may give his hundreds and thousâ€" ands of dollars with such feelings and amid such circumstances, and he will get no heavenly recognition. The Almighty‘s Weights and Measures the Only Perfect Ones Ever Made But into the divine scales another man‘s charity is placed. It starts from love of God and man. It is born in heaven. It is a lifelong characterâ€" istic. It may have a million dolâ€" Jlars or a penny to bestow, but the manner in which that giver bestows 4t shows that it is a divinely imâ€" planted primciple. The one penny given may, considering the limited circumâ€" starces, attract as much angelic and heavenly attention as though the check given in charity was so large it stagâ€" gered the cashier of the bank to cash i#t. It is not the amount given, but the . spirit with which it is given. ‘"‘The Lord weligheth the spirits." Perhaps no one but God heard that good man‘s resolutions, but it amountâ€" ed about to this: "From this present moment to my last moment on earth, God helping me, I will do all I can to make this world a purer world, a betâ€" ter world, a happier world." But the resolution shines out in his face, sweetâ€" ens his conversation, enlarges his naâ€" ture, controls his life and shows itself as plainly in the contribution of $1 as though he had the means to contribute $500,000. _ When that charity is put into the royal balance, the heavens watch the weighing and invisible choirs chant the clouds, and I catch The Divine Weigher one bar of the music, *"Now abideth fa‘th, hope, charityâ€"these three; but the greatest of these is charity." Bo also in the celestial scales is placed the spirit of faith. In most eases faith depends on whether or mot the sun shines, and the man had sound sleep last night, and whether the first person he meets in the mornâ€" Ing tells him something agreeable or disagreeable. Some day the sales in his store do not amount to so much as he expected, and he goes home with enough complaints to fill the house as soon as he enters it. Anâ€" ether day the sales are 20 to 40 per cent larger than usual, and as he is putting the key into the door lock his family hears him whistling a tune most jubilant. He has faith th’.t everything in his own affairs and the affairs of church and state tending toward better conditions u something depressing happens in Ei TT C U L ewn personal experiences or under own observation. TV mosrest TV and 24â€" them in helpfuilness. 1 m motives to others until that 1 in it possible. If I can say anything good about others, I will say it. If I can say nothing but vile of them, I will keep my lips shut as tight as the lip8 of the sphinx, which for 3,000 years has looked off upon the sands of the desert and uttered not one word about the desolation. The scheme of reconstructing this world is too great for me to manage, but I am not exâ€" pected to boss this job. I have faith to believe that the plan is w¢ll laid out and will be well executed. Give me a brick and a trowel and I will begin now to help build the wall. I am not a soloist, but I can sing Laar _af Aman: NY . sICK pE&Uuput. I cannot write a great book, but I can nick a cinder out of a child‘s eye or a splinter from under his thumb nail. I now enlist in this army that is going to take the world for God, and I defy all the evil powers, human and satanic, to discourage me. Count me into the service. I cannot play upon a musical instruffient, but I can polish a cornet or string a harp Or apâ€" plaud the orchestra." All through that man‘s experience there runs & faith that will keep him cheerful and busy and triumphant. oo . Cc 208 0 nactae e his Put also into these royal scaic3 ""7 |. ambitious spirit. Every healthy man |â€" and woman has ambition. The lack | . of it is a sure sign of idiocy or imâ€" morality. The only question is, What shail be the style of our ambiâ€" tion? To stack up a& stupendous forâ€" tune, to acquire a resounding name, to sweep everything we Can reach into the whirlpool of our own selfishâ€" nessâ€"that is debasing, ruinous and deathful. If in such a spirit we get what we start for, we only secure §iâ€"~ gantic discontent. No man was eveT made happy by what he got. It all depends upon the spirt with which we get it, and the spirit with which we keep it, and the spirit with which we distribute it. Not since the world stood has there been any instance of complete happiness from the amount of accumulation. . Give the man Of worldly ambition sixty years of brilâ€" liant successes. . He sought for r°â€"~ nown, and the nations speak his name. He sought for affiuence, and he is put to his wits‘ end to find Out the best stocks and bonds in which he may make investments. _ He is director in banks enough and trustee in enough institutions and president of enough companies to bring On. paresis, of which he is now dying. The royal balances Are iftea to weigh the ambition which has conâ€" trolled a lifetime. What was the worth of that ambition? How much a‘d it yield for usefulness and heaven? Less than a scruple, less than & grain of sand, less than an atom, less than nothing. Have & funeral a mile long with carriages, let the richest robes of ecclesiastics rustle about the casket, caricature the scene by choirs which chant "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." That man‘s life is & failâ€" ure, and if his heirs scuffie in the surroâ€" gate‘s court about the incapacity of the testator to make a last will and testaâ€" ment it will only be a prolongation of the failure. But look into the dream of that schoolboy who, without saying Anyâ€" thing about it, is planning his lifeâ€" time career. From an old book partâ€" ty written in Hebrew and partly writen in Greek, but both Hebrew and Greek translated into good Engâ€" lish, he reads of a great farmer like Amos, a great mechanic like Aholiab, a great lawyer like Moses, & great soldier like Joshua, & great â€" king like Hezekiah, a great poet like L ~ ons o Wesehle a ARC APUEPSTRTUCCT TT U , David, a great gleaner like Ruth, & great physiican like Luke, a great preacher like Paul, a great Christ like no one on earth or in heaven beâ€" cause the superior of all beings terâ€" restrial or celestial. He has learned by heart the Ten Commandments and the sermon op the mount and has splendid theories about everything. Between that fairâ€"haired boy and the achievement of what he wants and expects there are obstacles and hinâ€" drances known only to the God who is going to discipline him for heroics magnificent. 1 have no power to prophesy the d@ifferent experiences of his encouragement and disappointâ€" ment, of his struggle or his triumph, but as sure as God lives to make his word come true that boy who will sleep toâ€"night nine hours without waking will be final victor. I do not know the intermediate chapters of the volume of that young man‘s life, but I know the first chapter and the | last chapter. The first chapter is made of his high resolve in the strength of God, and the last chapter is filled with the rewards of a noble ambition. _ As his obsequies pass out to the coemetery the poor will weep because they will lose their best friend. Many in whose temporal welfare and eternal salvaâ€" tion he bore a part will hear of it in various places and eulogise his memâ€" ory, and God will say to the ascending sptrit, ‘"‘To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God." In the hour of that soul‘s release and enthronement there will be heavenly acclamation, as in the royal balances 1 "the Lord weigheth the epirits." t3 Other balances may lack precision and fail in counterpoise. Scales are affected by conditions of atmosphere and acid vapors. After all that the nations have done to establish an inâ€" variable standard, perfection has nevâ€" er yet been reached, and never will be reached. But the royal balances of which I speak are the same in heat and cold, in all weathers, in all lands and in all the heavensâ€"just and true to the last point. of justice and truth. The same balance that weighâ€" ed the tempted spirit of Adam under the fruit tree, and the spirit of Cain in the first assassination and the spirit of courage in Joshua during the prolonged daylight, and the spirit of cruelty in Jezebel, and the «pirit of lgriet in Jeremiah‘s lamentation, and the spirit of evangelism in Paul beâ€" DEpe PCA COOOR j tween the road to Damascus, where he first saw the light, and the road to Ostia, the place of his beâ€" headment, is weighing still and never yet has varied from the right one milligram, which is the oneâ€"sixâ€" thousandth part of a grain. The only perfect standard of weights -find measâ€" k into the dream of that who, without saying Anyâ€" it it, is planning his lifeâ€" r.â€" From an old book partâ€" ures ever established was established in the heavens before the world was made, and will continue to do its work after the world is burned up. To measure the time. we have calenâ€" dars. To measure the lightning we have the clectrometers. To measure the heat we have the thermometers. To measure the atmospheric pressure we have the barometers. To measure souls xv‘:xve the royal balances. "The weigheth the epirits." In the same divine scales the spirit of nations and civilisation is weighed. Egyptian civilisation did its work, but it was cruel and superstitious and idolatrous and defliant of the Almighty. It was cast out and cast down. The tourist finds his chief interest not in the generation that now inhabits the regions watered by the Nile and sprinkled by her cascades, but in the temples that are the skeletons of anâ€" clent pride and pomp and powerâ€"her obelisks, her catacombs, her mosques, the colossus of Rameses, the dead citâ€" ies of Memphis and Thebes, the temâ€" ples of Luxor and Karnak, the muâ€" seum containing the mummified forms Oof the pharaocha. It is not the Egypt of toâ€"day that we go to see, but the Egypt of many centuries ago. Her spirit has departed. Her doom wAs :ealed. "The Lord weigheth her spirâ€" L'l And so the spirit of the American nation is put into the royal balance, and it will be weighed as certainly as all the nations of the past were weighed and as all the nations of the present are being weighed. When we go to estimate the wealth of the naâ€" tion, we weigh its gold and silver and coal and iron and copper and lead, and all the steel yards and all the balâ€" ances are kept busy. So many tons of this and so many tons of that, a mountainful of another metal. ‘That is well. We want to know the mining wealth, the manufacturing wealth, the agricultural wealth and the bushel measure and the scales bhave an imâ€" portant work. But know right well there is a divine weighing in the counâ€". try all the time going on, and I can. tell you the country‘s destiny if you will tell me whether it shall be a God homoring nation, â€" reverentlial to the only book of his authorship, observing the "shall nots" of the law of right given on Mount Sinai and the law of love given on the Mount of Beatitudes, one day out of the week observed rot in revelry, but in holy convocation, marriage honored in ceremony and, in fact, blasphemy silenced in all the streets, high toned systems of morals in all parts of our land, then the inâ€" stitutions will live, and all the wonâ€" drous prosperities of the present are only a faint hint of the greater prosâ€" perities to come. The wish of this sermon is to emâ€" | g pharize the invisibleâ€"to show that | c there are other balances besides those | , of brass and platinum and aluminium | q and set in earthly store houses; that | g the spirit is the most important part of us; that the scales which weigh your | p body are not as important as the | c scales which weigh your soul.

"When these are conquered, what will | 1 you next attempt?" ‘"Then we will |‘ fall in upon Greece and Macedonia and || recover what we have lost there." | "Well, when all are subdued, what fruit | . do you expect from all your victories?" | "Then," said the king, "we will sit down and enjoy ourselves." _ "Sir," said Cineas, "may we not do it now? Have you not already a kingdom of your own, and he that cannot enjoy himself with a kingdom cannot with the whole world." I say to you who love the Lord, the kingdom is within you; make more of the invigble conâ€" quests. Study a peace which the world has no bushel to measure, no steel yards to weigh. As far as posâ€" stble we should make our balances like to the divine balances. What a world this will be wher it is weighed after its regeneration shall have taken place‘! Scientists now guess at the number of tons our world weighs, and they put the Apennines |and the Sierra Nevadas and Chimâ€" | borazo and the Himalayas in the _| scales. But if weighed as to its morals | at the present time in the royal balâ€" | ance the heaviest things would be the â€" | wars, the international hatreds, the : | erimes mountain high, the moral disâ€" | asters that stagger the hemisphere® . | on their way through immensity.

Our lesson loâ€"day is from one of the most interesting of all the books of the Bible. There are some things easy to understand, but there are mystories yet unsolved. Good and great men have grappled with them. To their own minds they have sucâ€" ceeded in unfolding the mystery, while to others they fail to conâ€" vince. P & Our lesson also introduces to us one of the most lovable characters in the Bible. John is called the beloved disâ€" cipleâ€""the disciple whom Jesus loved, which also leaned on His breast at the supper." His writings tell us of God‘s love to us, and our duty not only to love God, but also to love one another, and that it is impossible for us to love God if we love not our ‘b‘:o;h-o;v John was one of the three whom Jesus permitted to witness His EP .

New York despatchâ€" With sledg'e‘ hammer and burglar‘s jimmy as acâ€" cessories, the Society for Prevention of Crime took a hand at poolroom raiding this afternoon, and at No. 36 Beaver street gathered in a big bag of game. The attack was planuned with so much skill and carried out with such swiftness and | precision that only two, and they of the smallâ€" er fry, of those for whom there were warrants, escaped. > Tue 30 or 40 players who were in . the pooiroom when the door came erashing in under the blows of the slodge hammer and the ripping and tearingâ€"away of the heavy battening by the Jimmy, were is such a state of panic that the few who got away ran off, leaving hats, coats and waistcoats and ties lying scattered all about the room where they had been deposited, on account of the hbeat. In one white waistcoat left hanging on a chair there was a valuâ€" able gold watch and chain, which the owner can have by applying to the Society for the Prevention of COrmie or to the police. * The exciting incident of the raid was the chase after mysterious Roes, one and two. They got a good start from the window and down the fireâ€" escape ahead of their pursuers. Jusâ€" tice Jerome and Agents Hammond and Dillon took after them. The rear of the building opens into a large court, from which there is no egress save by way of the ground floors of the business hbhouses which surround it. When Justice Jerome, _ with Hammond and Dillon at his heels, reached the fire escape, the mysteriâ€" ous ones had vanished. From ail directions came shouts telling where the fugitives had gone.
