The priests of Belus noticed that rising and setting 2,000 years before Christ. Now, the glorious meaning of my text is plain as well as radiant. To give Job the beautiful grace of huâ€" mility God asked him, "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades ?" Have you any power over the laws of gravitation? â€" Can you modify or change an influence wielded by a star more than 400,000 miles away Can you cqntrol . the winds of the springtime? Can you call out the flowers? How little you know compared with omniscience? How litâ€" tle you can do compared with omnipoâ€" tence! The probability is that Job had been tempted to arrogance by his vast atâ€" tainments. He was a metallurgist, a zoologist, a poet, and shows by his writings he had knowledge . of hunting and music, of husâ€" bandry, of medicine, of mining, of astronomy and perhaps was eo far ahead of the scholars and scientists of his time that he may have been somewhat puffed up; hence this interâ€" rogation of my text. And there is nothing that so soon takes down huâ€" man pride as an interrogation point rightly thrust. Christ used it mightily. . Paul mounted the parapet of His great arguments with such a battery.© Men of the world © underâ€" stand it. Demosthenes began his speech to the crown and Cicero his oration against Catiline and Lord Chatham his most famous orations with a question. The empire of igâ€" norance is so tmiuch vaster than the empire of knowledge that after the most learned and elaborate disquisiâ€" tion upon any subject of sociology or theology the plainest man may â€" ask a question that will make the wisest speechless. _ After the profoundest asâ€" sault upon Christianity the humblest disciple may make an inquiry that would silence a Voltaire. Called upon, as we all are at times, to defend our holy religion, instead of argument that can always be anâ€" aewered by argument, let us try the power of interrogation. We ought to be loaded with at least half a dozen questions and always ready. and when Christianity is assailed, and we are told there is nothing in it and there is no God and there never was a miracle and that the Scriptures â€" are unreasonable and eruel and that there never will be a judgment day, take out of your portâ€" able armory of interrogation «omeâ€" thing like this: *"What makes the conâ€" dition of women in Christian lands better than in heathen lands? Do you think it would be kind in God to turn the human race into a world without any written revelation to explain and encourage and elevate and save? And if a revelation was made, which do you preferâ€"the Zendaâ€" Vista of the Persians or the Conâ€" fucian writings of the Chinese or the Koran of Mohammed or our Bible? If Christ"is not a Divine being, what did He mean when He said, ‘Before Abram was, I am?" If the Bible is a bad book, what are the evil results of reading it? Did you see any deâ€" grading influence of the book in your father or mother or sister who used to read it? Do you not think that a judgment day is neceseary in order to explain and fix up things that were never explained or fixed up? If our religion is illogical and an imâ€" position upon human credulity, why were Herschel and Washington and GCladstone and William McKinley its advocates? How did it happen that our religion furnished the theme for the greatest poem ever written, Paradise Lost, and to the painters their greatest themes in the Adoraâ€" tion of the Magi, The Transfiguraâ€" tion, The Last Supper, The Cruâ€" cifixion, The Entombment, The Last Judgment, and that all the schools of painting put forth their utmost genius in presenting The Maâ€" without any explain and and save? 4 made, which Vista of th fucian writin Koran of M« If Christ®is did He mea Abram was, a bad bocok, of reading it grading influ father or m to read it? â€" a judgment d to explain a were never e our religion position upot were Hersct CGladstone an advocates? 1 our religion the greatest Paradise L their greates #lam © AH oo Wlin beginning it with the words, "In the name of God, amen!

Put your antagonist a few questions like that, and you will find him excusing himself for an enâ€" gagement he must meet immediately. The words also recognise farâ€"reaching influences. Job probably had no adeâ€" quate idea of the distance of the worlds mentioned from our worlds, but he knew them to be far off, and we, who have had the advantage of modâ€" ern sidereal investigation, ought to be still more impressed than was Job with the question of the text, as it puts before us the fact that worlds, hunâ€" dreds of miles distant have a grip on our world. There are sweet influences which hold us from afar. There may have been in our ancestral life perâ€" haps 200 years ago some consecrated man or woman who has held over all the generations since an influence for good which we have no power to realâ€" ise, and we in turn by our virtue or vice may influence those who shall live 200 years from now. Moral gravitation is as powerful as material gravitation, and if, as my text teaches and science confirms, the Plelades, which are 422,000 miles from our earth, influence the earth, we ought to be impressed with how svye may be influenced by others far away back and how we may influâ€" ence others far down the future. Astronomers can easily locate the Pleiades, They will take you into their observatories on a clear night and aim their revealing instrument toward the part in the heavens where those seven stars have their habitude, and they will point to the constellation Taurus, and you can see for yourself: But it is impossible to point to inâ€" fluence far back that have affected our character and will affect our desâ€" tiny. We know the influences near by â€"paternal, maternal, conjugalâ€"but by the time we have gone back two genâ€" erations, or, at most, three, our invesâ€" tigations falter and fail. Through the modern interesting habit of searching back to find the ancestral tree we may find a long list of names, but they are only names. The consecration: of abandonment of, some one 200 years ago was not recorded. It would not be so important if you and I, by our good or bad behavior, blessed or blasted only those immediately around us, but our goodness or badness will reach as far as the strongest ray of Alcyoneâ€" yea, across the eternities. Under this consideration, what do you think of those who give themselves up to frivolâ€" ity or idleness and throw away fifty years of their existence as though they were shells ~ pebbles or pods instead of embryo «ternities? I suppose one of the greatest surâ€" prises of the next world will be to see what wide, farâ€"reaching influence for good or evil we have all exerted. I am speaking of ourselves, who ~ar® only ordinary people. But who can fully appreciate the farâ€"reaching good done by men of wealth in Great Britâ€" ain for the working classesâ€"Mr. Lisâ€" ter of Bradford, Edward Akroyd of Halifax, Thomas Sikes of Huddersâ€" field, Joseph Wentworth and Josiah Mason and Sir Titus Salt? This last great soul, with his vast wealth, provided 756 houses at cheap zent for 3,000 working people and chapel and cricket ground and croquet lawn and concert hall and savings bank, where they might deposit some of their earnâ€" ings, and life insurance for those who looked further ahead and bathâ€"houses and parks and museums and lecture halls with philosophical apparatus, the generous example of those men of & previous generation being copied in many places in Canada and the United States, making life, which would otherâ€" wise be a prolonged drudgery, an inâ€" spiratiort. and a joy. Notice also In my text the influâ€" ence of other worlds upon this world. We all regard the effect which our continent has upon other continents or one hemisphere upon the other hemisphere. Great harvest or drought on Oone side of our world affects the other side of our world. A panic in Wall street, New York, has its echo in Lombard street and the bourse. The nations of the earth cablegrammed together all feel the same thrill of delight or shock of woe. But we do not appreciate the influence of other worlds upon our world. The author of my text rouses us to the consideration. It takes a®.l the worlds of kzown and unknown astronomy to keep our world in its orbit. Every world deâ€" pendent on other worlds. The stelâ€" lar existence is felt all through the heavens. Every constellation is a «isterhood. Our planet feels the benediction of Alcyone and all the other stars of the Pleiades. Yea, there are two other worlds that deâ€" cide the fate of our worldâ€"its reâ€" demption or its demolition. Those two worlds are the headquarters of angelology and demonology. From the one world came Christ, come ministering epirits, come all, all graâ€" cious influences. From the other world rise all satanic and diabolic influences. From that world _ of moral night rose the power that wrecked our poor world six thousand years ago, and all the good work done since then has not been able to get our world out of the breakâ€" ers. â€" But the signs of distress have been hoisted and the lifelines ave out, and our world‘s lease is cerâ€" tain. The good influences of the consecrated people in our world will be centupled by the help from the heavenly world, and the divine power will . overcome . the demoniac. O man, O woman, expand your idea and know the magnitude of a contest in which three worlds are speâ€" cially _ interested! From all the seven worlds which my text calls the Pleiades there come no euch powâ€" erful influences as from the two worlds that I am now mentioning. My only hope for this world is in the reâ€"enforcement that is to come from another world. But that is promised, and so I feel as eure of the â€" rectification â€" of all evil as though looking out of my window toâ€"day I saw the parks â€" and the gardens flowering into another paraâ€" dise and the apocalyptic angel fAiying through the midst of heaven with the news that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdomse of our Lord. My text called Job and calls us to consider "the sweet influences." We put too much emphasis upon the acidities of life, upon the irritations of life, upon the disappointments of life. Not sufficiently do we recogâ€" nise the sweet influences of the wife, We men are of a rougher mold, and our voice is loud, and our manners need to be tamed, and gentleness is not as much of a characteristic as it ought to be, and we often say things we ought to take back. It is to change this that the good wife comes in. The interests of the twain are identical. That which from outâ€" slders would be considered criticism and to be resented becomes kindly suggestion. Sweet influences that make us better men than we otherâ€" wise would have been or could have been! The last chapter of Proverbs recâ€" ognises the good wife‘s influence when it says, "Her husband is known in the gates when he sitteth among the elders of the land"â€" that is, his apparel indicates that he has some one to look after his wardrobe, and his manners show that he is under refining influences at home. But no one fully appreciâ€" ates the sweet influences of the wife until the dark day comes and the slight symptoms become serious and the serious phases of the disorder pass into the fatal and the temperaâ€" ture is 106 and medical ingenuity is exhausted and you are told for your consolation that "while there is life there is hope," which means that there is no hope at all, and the precious life filutters and is gone, and you muset put out of sight the one who from the day she took the vow amid the orange blossoms under the marriage bell had been to you more than all the world beâ€" sides. Then you realise as never beâ€" fore what had been the sweet influâ€" ences. Sweet influences of friendship! If we have behaved ourselves tolerably well, we have friends. In our days of mirth they come with our conâ€" gratulations. In times of sorrow they come with expressions of solace. In timés of perplexity they come with their advice. They are ~with us at weddings and at burials. If there is anything good in us, they find it out, and our frailties they overlook and excuse. â€" If something appears against us, they say, "Wait till I <~hear the other side." If disaster shall befall us, we know from whom would come the first condolence.> Family friends, church friends, business friends, lifeâ€" long friends. In our heart of hearts we cherish them, f . Sweet influences of our holy religion, surrounded as we are ~by all. the amenities of Christian societyâ€"men and women who have‘left the refining and elevating ‘power of "the ‘ gospel! Sweet influences of the. Sabbath, fiftyâ€" two of them chiming their joy into. every year! Sweet influences of the scriptures, with their balim for all wounds and â€"their ° light â€" for every darkness! <~When the heirs of a vast estate in lngland wished toâ€"establish their claim to property worth $100,000;, 000 they offered a reward of $500 for the recovery of An old Bible, ‘ the family recorda of which contained <the evidence requisite. But any Bible, new or old, can help us to a vaster inâ€" heritance than the one spoken of, one that never fades away. The stories of that world and its holy hilarities come in upon our souls sometimes in song, sometimes in serâ€" mon, sometimes in hours of solitary reflection, and they are, to use the words of my text, sweet influences. But there is one star that affects us more with its sweet influences than the center star, the Alcyone of the Pleiades, and that is what one Bible author calls the Star of Jacob and anâ€" other Bible author calls the morning star. _ Of all the sweet influences that have ever touched our earth those that radiate from Christ are the sweetest. Sweet influences of the Holy Ghost, with all its transforming and comfortâ€" ing and emancipating power. When that power is fully felt, there will be no more sins to pardon, and no more wrongs to correct, and no more sorâ€" rows to comfort, and no more bondage to break. But as the old time ship captains watched the rising of the Pleiades for safe navigation and set sail in Mediterranean waters, but were sure to get back into port before the constellation Orion came into sightâ€" the season of cyclone and hurricaneâ€" so there is a time to sail for heaven, and that is while the sweet influences the upon us and before the storms overtake the delay. Open all your soul to the light and warmth and comâ€" fort and inspiration of that gospel which bhas already peopled heaven with millions of the ransomed and is helping other millions to that gloâ€" rious destination. Do not postpone the things of God and eternity till the storms of life swoop and the agitaâ€" tions of a great future are upon us. Do not dare wait till Orion takes the place of the Pleiades. Weigh anchor now and with chart unrolled and pilot on board head for the reunions and raptures that await all the souls forâ€" given. "And they need no candle, ncither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth the‘a light, and they shall reign forever and ever." Pathetis Tale of a Mirror. There is a story of a mirror that comes from the far east that has much of pathos in it. A man brought as a gift to his wife a mirror of silyer bronze. Then she, having seen nothing of the kind before, asks in the innocence of her heart whose was the pretty face smiling back at her. And when, laughing he tells her it is none other than her own, she wonders still more, but is ashamed to ask further quesâ€" tions. But when at last her time comes to die she calls her little daughter and â€" gives hor the treaâ€" sure she has long koept hidden away as a sacred thing, telling her: "Afâ€" ter I am dead you must look in this mirror morning and evening and you will see me. Do not grieve." Bo when the mother is dead, the girl, who much resembles her, looks in the mirror day by day, thinking she there talks face to face with the dead woman and never guessing it is but her own reflection g@he sees. And it is added by the old Japanese narrator that when the girl‘s faâ€" ther learned the meaning of this strange conduct of hers, "he, thinkâ€" ing it to be a very piteous thing, his eyes grew dim with tears."

Thoughts.â€"The plans ol â€" wicked men for destroying good are often the; very means used by God for acâ€" complishing the greatest good. Faith in God_ will work wonders, even amidst seeming deleat. So long as the memory of Joseph was hcld in veneration by the Egypâ€" tians the Israelites were allowed to live among them in peace. But no sooner did "a king arise who knew not Joseph" (Ex. i. 8), than they were regarded with a jealowt eye ; such is the shortâ€"lived thing called public gratitude. It is not to be inferred that the king referred to was ignorant of the great service rendered to Egypt by the ilustrious statesman Joseph. He must have had access to the public records, and the properous colony in Goshen would excite inquiry as to the settlement there. Seventy years would not obliterate the record, of the visitation of providence that called forth the foresight and wisâ€" dom of Joseph, and bukt for â€" which Egypt would have been desolate as woell as the surrounding countries ; but scel‘ishness predominated and God‘s people su‘fered. God was with His poople in Egypt so that they inâ€" creased exceedingly. It was at this period that Moses was born. Parental love made the godly Jochebed anxious to preserve her lovely son from â€" destruction. Josephus informs us that "Amram, the father of Moses, was assured in a visisn, that the chil4 should not only escape the malice of the king, but that he should become the deâ€" liverer of the Israelites." y 7 1.

The babe was hid three months and then consigned to the ark of buirushes with a thousand unâ€" favorable circumstances to overâ€" come, yet by faith he was consigned to his cradle and an interesting watcher appointed to note the hapâ€" penings of Providence with the child. Faith makes a person wise. _ _ 4. As surely as God is true, faith‘s acts, though simple and seemingly weak, lead to the grand results. Faith gives power over circumstancer, want, opposition and ridicule, and crowns the everyâ€"day life with sucâ€" Southern Raliroad Conductor Cirâ€" cumvented the Superintendent. "Under the old, loose system that prevailed on most ~f the southern and western rozds," said a veteran passenger conductor of this city, "the ‘spotter‘ was virtually a neâ€" cesksity, but the trouble about him was that he could never be relied upon with absolute certainty to tell the truth. He knew his popularity and prestige with his employers deâ€" pended on the number of ‘cases‘ he worked up, and if he couldr‘t catch a conductor knocking down, he was only too apt to manulacture a litâ€" tle circumstantial evidence and reâ€" port the poor fellow anyhow. Of course, I am speaking of the averâ€" age spotter, and ao doubt there were plenty of exceptions to the rule,» but that was a great defect . of the _ system and, incidentally, it reminds me of ~a . curious little story. Back in the . eighties," continued the vetâ€" eran, "a tip was one day given to a‘ wellâ€"knownand very popular conâ€" ductor on a certain line leading out of New Orleans that a spotter ol considerable.pote in the north had been put on his train with instrucâ€" tions to investigate him thoroughly. ‘"This conductor was a big, jovial fellaw, fond of good clothes, good sport and good living, and, ~while there was ug evidence ol anything wrong, he hdd fallen under ®uspic ion on â€" general â€" principles.

When the conâ€" A@ucteor® himself heard that a spy had â€" been put on his trail _ he was _ highly‘ indignant and " also considerably alarmed. He reasoned that ‘the fellow would be esapecially anxious to sustain his reputation as a thicf catchor, and was, in all probâ€" ability, fully prepared to ‘fake up‘ a caso in the event that he discovered no evidence. To protect himsclf against such a manoeuvre he quictly telographeod a biz detective agen>y in Chicago and engaged a firstâ€"class opâ€" erative to spot tha spotter. ONTARIO ARCHIvEs TORONTO "Both men went on duty at about the #ime time, the spoiter taking the role of a commercial traveller, who had frequent busness up and down the rooud. He watched the conductor, the Chicago detective watched him, and the conductor #‘zed them both up and chackled in his sleeve. _ Now comes th> funny part of the yarn.

The superintendent wasg a pretty wisaq persgon himself, so he aiid nothing, but simply engaged an entirely new man and set him watching the two apics. The trianguâ€" lar game went on for several weeks ; ther the conductor was summoned to headquarters. He carried his deâ€" tective‘s report with him, and was staggered whon the superintendent showedl him two others. The original spotter‘s report exonerated the conâ€" ductor ; the Chicago man‘s report agroeed exactly with the spotter‘s, and the last spy assorted flatly that the two other men had ‘stood in‘ toâ€" gethor s as to pleags all hands and sar» trouble.

Physician Advises Bedtime Lunch»â€" eons for Emaciated People. 1t was formerly thought that food taken at bodtime creatred â€" indigesâ€" tion and bad dreams. While _ unâ€" doubt«dly rich and hearty {food is inâ€" appropriato at the time chosen for repose, a light, nourishing repast at night often conduces to sound sleep by drawing the blood away from the brain. Physicians are now advising a bxitime lunch for weak, nervous and emaciated people. The long hours of sleep consume about oneâ€" third of our existence. _ Although the demand made upon the system is naturally much less than during the waking bours, there is a wasting away of tissues consequent upon the suspension of nutriment for many hours. The body feeds upon itself, for food taken at dinner is digested at bo«itime. Often one is restless and wakoful at night because the stomâ€" ach is empty. _ _ } Sayse a â€" wollâ€"known â€" physician: "Man is the only creature I know of who does not deem it proper to sleep on a good meal. The in{fant instinctâ€" ively cries to be feod at night, showâ€" ing that food is necessary during that time as well as through the day, and that loft too long without it causges it discomfort, which it makes known by crying." If you crave it, eat a light, casily digested lunch at bedtime. And the long hours of sleep will work out for you a preblem in addition, instead of subtraction, of adipose tissue. The trouble with the budding genâ€" ky is that he is frequently nipped in the bud. : Eol o# NIGHT EATING MAKES FAT.
