Tho subject of tho eloquent doctor's discourse was: "Disabled Hunters Bringing Down the Most (.liuuft" His text was from Is. xxxiii, iSl, "Tho lamo take tho prey." Following is the sermon

Tho utter demolition of tho Assyrian host wo.1 hero pivdk*U'«l Not only robust men should go forth ami gather tho sjoils *f conquest, hut even men eripple«l itnn and crippled of foot shoultl go out and capture much that was valuable. Their physical disadvantages should not hinder their great richment. S«» it has U'en in tho past, no it is now, wit will t»o in tho future. 80 it is in all departments Men labor under wetningly great disadvantages, and amid the must, unfavorable circumstances, yet making grand achievements, getting groat blcoMng for themselves, great blessing for the world, great bh'ssi.ig tor tho church, and so "tho lamo take the prey."

Do you know that tho three great jwvts of the world were totally blind! Homer, Ossian, John Milton. Do you know that Mr. IVo'X'tt, who wrote that enchanting b»ik,

4,The

Conquest of Mexico," nev»»r saw Mexico, could not even tho paper. on which he WILS writing/ A framework arrows the sheet. Itetw^n which, up ami down', went the pen immortal. Do you know that (Jambassio, the sculptor, could not S»H the marblo before him, or tin* chisel with whioh he cut it into shapes twwitchingf Do you know that Alexander Pope, whose joems will hut as long :us the English language, was so much of an invalid that ho had to IHJ sewed lip every morning in rough canvaa in order to Stand on his feet at all*

Do you know that iStuart, the rvlebrat«M painter, did much of his wonderful work under the shadow of tho dungeon, where ho had been tmjwUv imprisoned for debt/ Do von know that Demosthenes by almost snjerhumun exertion first had to conquer the lisp of his own .sjh^»c1i leforo ho conquered assemblages with his eloquence? Do you know that Bacon struggled all through innumerable sicknesses, and that lird Byron and Sir "Walter Scott went limping on clubfoot through all their life, and that many of tho great poets and painters aud orators and historians and heroes of U)e world had something to keep them trnck, and pull them down, and imicdo their way, and cripplo their physical or their intellectual movement, and yet that Uiey pushed on and pushed up until they reached tho spoils of worldly success, aud amid tho huzza of natious and centuries, "the lamo took tho prey

You know tliat a vast multitude of these men started under tho disadvantage of obscure parentage. Columbus, tlio son of tho weaver Ferguson, the astronomer, the son of tho shepherd. America the prey of tho ono worlds on worlds the prey of the other. But what is true in secular directions is moro true in spiritual and wligious directions, and I proceed to prove it.

There are in all communities many invalids. They never know a well tiny. They adhere to their occupations, but they go panting along tha streets with exhaustion, ami ateventimo thoy lie down on tho loungo with achings beyond all medicament. They have tried all prescriptions, they have gono through all the cures which wero proclaimed infalliblo, ami they have cctue now to surrender to IK'rpctua] ailments. They consider they are among many disadvantages and when thev soo those who are buoyant in health pass by they almost onvy their robust frames ami easy respiration.

But 1 have noticed among that invalid class those who have'the greatest knowledge of the Bible, who are lu nearest intimacy with Jesus Christ, who hove the mosbglowing experiences 0/ tho truth, who have had tho most remarkable answers to prayer, and who have the most ezhilarant anticipations of heaven. The temptations which weary us who are in robust health they have conquered. They bavo divided among them tho spoiU of tho conquest. Many who are alert and athlotic and- swarthy loiter in the way. Tbe.no are tho lamo that take tho prey. Robert Hall nn iuvalid, Edward Fayson an invalid, Richard Baxter an invalid, Samuel Rutherford an invalid Thin morning, when you want to call to mind thoso who are most Christlike, you think otsome darkoned room In. your father's liouso from which there went forth an intluonce potoui for eternity.

A etcp further: Through raised letters the art of priuting has been bnught to tho attention of tho blind.

You take up tho Bible for tho blind, jtnd yod close your eyes, and you run your fingery over tho raised letters, aud you nay: "Why, I nover could get any information in ibis way. What a slow, lumbrous way of roadingl God help the blind."

Aud yot 1 find among that class of persons, among tho blind, tho deaf and tho dumb, tho most thorough acquaintance with God's word. Shut out from all other sources of information, uo sooner docs their hand touch

tho raised letter than th«y gather a prayer. Without oyw, they look off upon tho kiugdom of God's love. Without hearing, thoy catch tho minstrelsy of tho skies. Dumb, yet with JHMICU, or with irradiated couutouaiico, thoy declare tho glory of Ood.

A largo audience assembled in New York at the anniversary of tho Deaf and Dumb asylum, and one of the visitors, with chalk, on thw blackboard wrote this question to tho pupils: "Do you not Und it very hard to bo deaf and dumb)1' Ami ono of the pupils took tho aim

Ik and wrote on the blacklnmrd this sublime sentence in answer: "When the song of Lho angel* .shall burst upon our enraptured ear wo will scarce regret that our oars wero nover marred with earthly sounds." Oh I tho brightest eyes in heaven will be those that never saw on earth. Tho cars iiKst alert in heaven will be those that in this world heard neither voice of friend, nor thrum of harp, nor carol of bird, nor doxology of congregations.

A lad who had been blind from infancy was cuivd. Tho oculist operatod upon tho lad and then put a very heavy bandago over tlio eyes, and after few weeks had gono by tho baiulngo was removed and tho mother said to the child: "Willio, can you seef" IIo said: "Oh, mamma, is this heaven?" The contrast between the darkness before aud tho brightness afterword was overwhelming. And 1 tell you the glories of heaven will bo a thousandfold brighter for those who never saw anything ou earth. While many with good vision closed their eyes in night, aud many who had a good. Artistic aud cultured ear went down into discord, thcao afllicteti ones cried uuto tho Lord in their trouble, aud he mnrto their sorrows their advantage, and so "the lamo took the prey.w in the Seventh century there wna a legend of St ModoU'rt. It was said that his mother wits blind, and ono day while looking at his mother he felt so sympathetic for her blindness that be rushed forward and kissed her Mind eyes, and, tho legend says, her vision came Immediately. That was only a legend, but it is a truth, a glorious truth, that a kiss of God's eternal love has brought to many a blind oye eternal illumination.

A step further: There are those in all communities who toil mightily for a livelihood. They have scant wages. Perhaps they are diseased, or have physical infirmities, so they aro hindered from doing a continuous day's work. A Wty missionary finds them up tho dark alley, with no fire, with thiu clothing, with very coarse bread. They nover ride in the street car they cannot afford the live cents. Thoy never see any pictures save those in tho shew window on tho street, from which they are often jostled aud looked at by some one who seemed to say in the look: "Move on! What aro you doing hero looking at pictures?"

Yet many of thom live on mountains of transfiguration. At their rough table Uo who fed the live thousand breaks the broad, Thoy talk often of the good times that aro coming. This world has no charm for them, but heaven entrance their spirit. They often divide their scant crust with some forlorn wrctch who knocks at their door at night, and 011 the blast of tho night wind, as the door O^MI* let them in, if heard the voice of Him who said: "I was hungry and vo fed me." No cohort of heavon will to too bright to transjN»rt them. By God's help they have vanquished tho Assyrian host. They have divided among Wiein tho spoils. Lamo, laHie, yet they took the prey. 1 was riding along the country road ono day, and I saw a man on crutches. 1 overtook him. Ho WILS very old. He was going

very slowly. At that rate it would have taken him two hours to go a mile. I said: "Wouldn't you like to ridef" Ho *aid: 1 "Thank you, I wouhl God bless you."

When he sat beside me ho said: "You see, 1 am very lamo and very old, but tho Lord has been a good I^irdtoine. I have buried all my children. The Lord gave them aud tho Ijord had a right to take them awav. Blessed l»o his name. I was very sick and I had no money, and my neighbors came in and took care of nie, and I wanted nothing. I suffer a great deal with pain, but then I havo so m.iuv mercies left. Tho Ixird has IHH*U a goinl I^ord to me,*' Ami before we had got far 1 was in doubt whether I was giving him a ride or he was giving ine a ride! He said: "Now, if you please, I'll get out here. Just help mo down on my crutches, if you please. God bless you. Thank you, sir. Good morning. Good morning* You havo been feet to the lame, sir, you have. Good morning." Swarthy men had gono tho road that day. I do not know where they came out, but 1 every hobble of that ohl man was toward the shining gaUv With his old crutch lie had struck down many a Sennacherib of tenqHution which lias mastered you and 111a

Lame, se fearfully lamo, so awfully lame but he took the prey. A step further. There aro in all communities many orphans. During our lat war and in tho years immediately following, how many children w« heard say: "Ohl my father was killed in tho war." Havo you ever noticed—I fear you hrfvo not—how well thoso children havo turned out! Starting under the greatest disadvantage, no (frphan asylum could do for them what their father would have done had he live*I. The skirmisher sat one night by tho light of fagots in tiie swamp, writing a letter home, whou a sharpshooter's bullet ended tho letter, which was never folded, never jKisted and never reaiL

Tlioso chHdrcn came up under great disadvantages No father to fight their way for them. Perhaps thero was in tho old family Biblo an old yellow letter, jvisted fast, which told tho story of that's father's long march aud how he sutlered iu the hospital but they looked still further on In the Bihlc, and they camo to the story of how God is the Father of tho fatherless wid tho widow's }ortion, and they soon took their father's place in that household. They, tmttled the wi\y for their mother. They came on up, and nuyiy of them have In tho years since the war taken )ositions in church aud state. While many of tbo^o who suffered nothing duriug those times havo had sons go eut into lives of inilolence and vagabondage, those who started under so tnauy disadvantages because thoy were so early bereft, theso are tho lame who took the prey.

A step further. There are those who would liko todogooL They say* "Ohl if I only hod wealth, or if I had eloquence, or if I had high social position, how much I would accomplish for God and tho church!" 1 stand here txlay to tell you that you have great opportunities for usefulness.

There are thousands of ministers of whom you have never heard—in log cabins at the west, in mission chapels at the east—who are warring against tho legions of darkness—successfully warring. Tract distributors, mouth by month undermining the citadels of siu. You do not know thoir going or their coming, but tho footfalls of their ministry aro heard in tho palaces of heaven. Who are tho workers iu our &abl>ath schools throughout this land today 1 Mcu celebrated, meu brilliant, men of vast estates! For the most part, not that at all. I have noticed that tho chief characteristic of most of thoso who are successful in the work is that they know their Bibles, earnest in prayer, aro anxious for the salvation of tho young, and Sabbath by ttabbalh are willing to sit down unobserved and tell of Christ and the resurrection. These are the humblo 1 workers who are recruiting tho great army of Christian youth—not by might, not by power, not by profound argument, not by brilliant antithesis, but by tho blessing of God on plain talk, and humblo story, and silent tear, and anxious look. "The lamo take the prey.w

Ohl this work of saving tho youth of our country—how few appreciate what it isl This generation tramping on tho grave—we will soon all bo gone. What next/

An engineer on a locomotive going across tho western prairies day after day, saw a little child come out in front of a cabin and wave to him so he got in the habit of waving back to the little child, and it was the day's joy tn him to soo this little one come out in front of the cabin door and w*avo to him, while he answered back.

Ono day tho train was belated and it came on to the dusk of theevcuiug. As the engineer stood at his post he saw by the headlight that little girl on tho track, wondering why the train did not come, looking for tho train, knowing uothing of its peril A great horror seized upon the engineer. He reversed tu* engine. He gave it in charge of the other man on txard, and then ho climbed over the engine and became down on the cowcatcher He said, though ho had roversed tho engine* it seemed as though it wero going at lightning sjtced, faster and faster, though it was really slowing up, and with almost suj»ernatural clutch he caught that child by the hair and lifted it up, and when tho train stop]ed und tho passengers gathered around to *«o what was the matter, there the old engineer lay, fainted dead away, the little child alive and in his swarthy arms. "Ohl" you say, "that wits well done." But

I want you to exercise some kindness and wine appreciation toward those in community who are snatching the little ones from under the wheels of temptation and sin —snatching them from under thundering rail trains of eternal disaster, bringing them up into ivt^wctability in this world mid into glory for the world to wine.

My answer is, I Almighty grace can break up that habit, and will break it up. But you say: "Tho wrong 1 did was to ono dead and in heaven now, und I can't correct that wrong." You can correct it. By tho gracoof God, go into the presence of that one, and tho apologies you ought to havo mode on eartk make iu heaven. "Oh:" says some man, "if 1 should try to do right, if 1 should turn away from my evil doing unto the Lord, 1 would be josllixl, I would l»e driven back nobody would have any sympathy for me." You aro mistaken.

Ono step further: There aro a great many }»coplo discouraged alout getting bo heaven. You lire brought up in good families, you hod Christian parentage, but you frankly, tell me that you are a thousand miles aw uy from tho right track.

My brother, you aro tho one I want to preach to this morning. 1 have Uvn looking for you. 1 will tell you how you got astrav. It was not maliciousness on your part. W wus perhaps through the geniality and sociality of your nature that you fell into sin. You wandered away from your duty, you unconsciously left the house of God you admit the Go*pel to be true, and yet you have so grievously and prolonged!}' wandered, you say rescne LS impossible.

It would take a week to count up tho names of tho»o in heaven who were on earth worse than you tell me you are. They went tho whole round of iniquity, they disgraced themselves, they disgraced their household, they ilespaired of return because their reputation was gone, their projerty was gone, everything wus gone, but in some hour liko this thoy heard tho voice of God anil threw themselves 011 tho divine compassion, and they rose up more than conquered And I tell you there is the same clianco for you. That is 0110 reason why 1 liko to preach this Gos]el, so free a Gospel, so tremendous a Gos)eL It takes a man all wrong aud mokce him all right

In a former settlement where I preached, a mumiier of my congregation quit tho house of God, quit respectable circles, went iuto all styles of sin, and was slain of his iuiquity. Tho day for his burial came, and his body was brought to the house of God. Some of his comrades who had destroyed him were overheard along the street, on the way to the burial, saying: "Come, let us go and hear Taliuago damn this old sinnerI" Ohl 1 had nothing but tears for tho dead, and I had nothing but invitations for the living. You see 1 could uot do any otherwise. "Christ Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost." Christ in his dying prayer said: "Father, forgivo them," and that was a prayer for you and for me. Oh, start on the road to heaven today. You aro Uot happy. The thirst of your soul will
