THE GLORY OF LEBANON.

On our way from Damascus wo saw the mountains of Lebanon white with snow, and the places from which the cedars were hewn and then drawn by ox teams down to tho Mediterranean sea, and then floated in great rafts to Joppa, n.nd tben agnin drawn by ox teams up to Jerusalem to build Solomon's temple. Tho?e mighty trees in my text are cnJled the "glory of Lebanon." Inanimate nature felt the effects of the first transgression. When Ev» touched the forbidden tree it seems as if the sinful contact had smitten not- only that tree, but as if the air caught the pollution from the leaves, and aa if the sap had carried the virus down into the very soil until the entire earth reeked with the leprosy. Under that sinful touch naturo withered. The inanimate creation, as if aware of the damage done it, sont up the thorn qnd brier and nettle to wound and fiercely oppose the human race.

PARKEtfS'S HAIR BALSAM

COMIHQ OF THE MILLENNIUM.

Now as the physical earth felt the effect* of the first transgression, so it shall also feel the effect of the Saviour's mission. As from that one tree in Paradise a blight went forth through tho entire earth, so from one tree on Calvary anothor force shall s(sed out to interpenetrate and check, subdue and override the evil. In the end it shall be found that the tree of Calvary has more potency than tba tree of Paradise. As the nations are evangelized, I think a corresponding change will be effected in the natural world. I verily believe that the trees, and the birds, and the rivers, and the skies will have their millennium. If man's sin affected the ground, and tho vegetation, and tho atmosphere, shall Christ's work be less poworful or less extensive?

Doubtless God will take the irregularity and fierceness from ttje elements so as to make them congenial to tho race, yet to bo so symmetrical and evangelized. The ground shall not be so lavish of weeds and so grudgeful of grain. Soils which now have peculiar proclivities toward certain forms of evil production will be delivered from their besetting sins. Steep mountains, plowed down into more gradual ascent, shall bo girdled with flocks of sheep and shocks of corn. Tho wet marsh shall become the deep grassed meadow. Cattle shall eat unharmed by caverns onco haunted of wild beasts. Children will build play houses in what was once a cave of serpents and, as tho Scripture saith: "The weaned child shall put his hand ou the cockatrice's den."

Oh what harvests shall be reaped when neither drouth, nor excessive rain, nor mildew, nor infesting insects shall arrest the growth, and the utmost capacity of tho fields for production shall be tested by an intelligent and athletic yeomanry. Thrift and competency characterizing the world's inhabitants, their dwelling ploces shall be graceful and healthy and adorned. Tree and arbor and grove around alxmt will look as if Adam and Eve had got back to Paradise. Qreat cities, now neglected and unwashed, shall be orderly, adorned with architectural synujn try and connected with far distant seaports by present modes of transportation carried to their greatest perfection, or by new inventions yet to spring up out of the water or drop from the air at the beck of a Morse or a Robert Fulton belonging to future generations.

Isaiah in my text seems to look forward to tho future condition of the physical earth as a condition of great beauty and excellenoe, and then prophesies that as the strongest and most ornamental timber in Lebanon was brought down to Jerusalem and constructed into the ancient temple? so all that is beautiful and excellent in tho physical earth shall yet contribute to the church now being built in the world. "The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary."

Much of this prophecy has already been fulfilled, and I proceed to some practical remarks upon the contributions which the natuml world is making to tho kingdom of God, and then draw some inferences. The flrBt contribution that nature gives to the church is her testimony in behalf of tho truth of Christianity. This is an age of profound research. Nature cannot evade man's inquiries as once. In chemist's laboratory she is put to torture and compelled to give up her mysteries. Hidden laws have come out of their hiding place. The earth and the heavens, .since they have been ransacked by geologist and botanist and astronomer, appear so different from what they once were that they may be called "the new heavens and the now earth."

POWERFUL EFFECT UPON THE RELIGIOU8 WORLD.

This research and discovery will have powerful effect upon the religious world. They must either advance or prroet Christianity, make men better or make them worse, be the church's honor or the church's overthrow. Christians, aware of this in the early ages of discovery, were nervous and fearful as to the progress of scionce. They feared that some natural law, before unknown, would suddenly spring into harsh collision with Christianity. G-unpowder and the gleam of Bwords would not so much have been feared by religiouists as electric batteries, voltaic piles and astronomical apparatus. It was feared that iloses and the prophets would be run over by skeptical chemists and philosophers. Some of the followers of Aristotle, after the invention of the telescope, refused to look through that instrument, lest what they saw would overthrow the teachings of that great philosopher. But the Christian religion has no such apprehension now.

Bring on your telescopes and microscopes and spectroscopes—and the more the better. The God of naturo is this God of the Bible, and In all the universe and In all the eternities he has never once contradicted himself. Christian merchants endow universities, and In them Christian professors instruct the children of Christian communities. The warmest and most enthutdastio friends of Christ are the bravest and most enthosiaetic. friends of scienoe. The church rejoices as much over every discovery as the world rojoicoa. Good men have found that there ia no war between Mfanoe and religion. That whioh at first has teemed to be the weapon of the infidel has torned out to be the weapon of the Christian.

Scientific discussions may be divided Into those which are concluded, and those which

*re still in progrws^ depending for decision upon future investigation. Those which art conclud'Hi have invariably raodered their verdict for Christianity, and w» have faith to believe that those whieh aro still in proe«cution will come to as favorable a conclusion. Tho groat system* of error ar* falling before these discoveries. They have crushed «*»rythlng but the Bible, and that thay have established. Mohammedanism and paganism in their to»i thousand forma hare been prored false, ami by groat natural laws vhowii to bo impositions. Buried cities have Ivcen exhumed and tho truth of God found written on thoir coiJlii lids. Burtlett, Robinson and Layard have been not more the apostles of science than tho poyt.Uis of religion. Tho dumb lips of the pyramids have ojtonod to proaeh tho gospel. ]£x]K«ditiuis have been fitted out for Palestine, and explorers havo

THKY 1IAVK COMK BACK BSU6VKR1 Men who havo gone to Palestine iufltlels have come back Christians. They wito were blind and deaf to the truth at homo havo seemed to see Christ again preaching upon Olivet, and have beheld in vivid imagination the Sou of God again walking the hills about Jerusalem. Caviglia once rejected tho truth, but ufterward said, "I came to Egypt, and the Scriptures and the pyramids oouverted me." When I was iu Bey rout, Syria, last Deoember, our beloved American missionary, Rev. Dr. Je»sup, told me of his friend who mat a skeptic at Joppa, tho seaport of Jerusalem, and tho unbeliever said to his friendt "I am going into tho Holy Land to show up the folly of the Christian religion. I am going to visit all the so called 'wicrad places' and writo them up, and show the world that the New Testament is an imposition upon the world's credulity." Months after Dr. Jossup's friend met the skeptic at Boyrout after he had completed his journey through tho Holy Land. "Well, how is it?" said the aforesaid gentleman to the skeptic. The answer was: "I have seen it all, and I toll you the Bible is true 1 Yes it is all true!" The man who went to destroy came back to defend.

comti back to say that they have found among bmik looxo till the birds fly for hiding pltioo mountains and among ruins, and on tho shore of waters, living and undying evidences of our glorious Christianity.

After what I myself saw during my recent abseucb, I conclude that any one who can go through tho Holy Laud aud remain an unbeliever is either a bad man or an imbecile. God employed men to writo the Bible, but he took mauy of tho same truths which they recorded and with his own almighty hand he gouged thorn into the rocks and drove them down into dismal depths, and, as documents are put in the corner stone of a temple, so in the very foundation of the earth he folded up and placed the records of heavonlj' truth. The earth's corner stono was laid, like that of other sacrod edifices, in tho name of the Father, and of the Son, and of tho Holy Gliost. Tho author of rovolation, standing among the great strata, lookod upon Moses and said, "L»t us record for future ages the world's history you write it there on papyrus I will write it here on the bowlders.

THE STATELY SYCAMORE.

Again, nature offers an invaluable contribution to Christianity by the illustration she makctt of divino truth. The inspired writers seized upon tho advantages offered by the natural world. Trees and rivers and clouds and rocks broke forth into holy nud enthusiastic utterances. "Would Christ set forth the strength of faith, he points to the sycamore, whoso roots spread out, and strike down, and clinch themselves amid great depths of earth, and he said that faith was strong enough to tear that up by the roots.

At Hawarden, England, Mr. Gladstone, while showing mo his trees during a prolonged walk through his magnificent park, pointed out a sycamore, and with a wave of the hand said: "In your visit to the Holy Land-did you see any sycamore more impressive than that?" I confessed that I had not. Its branches were not more remarkable than its roots. It was to such a tree as that Jesus pointed when he would illustrate the pow of faith. "Ye might say unto this syc»rr ^,-e tree, 'Be thou plucked up by the root and be thou cast into the sea,' and it would obey you." One roason why Christ has fascinated the world as no other teacher is because Instead of using severe argument ho was always telling how something in the spiritual world was like unto something In the natural world. Oh, these wonderful "likes" of our Lord I like a grain of mustard seed. Like a treasure hid iu a field. Like a merchant seeking goodly pearls. Like unto a not that was cast into the sea. Like unto a householder.

EXPRESSIVE SIMILES,

Would Christ toach the precision with whioh he looks after you, he says he oouuts the hairs of your head. Well, that is a long and tedious count if the head have the average endowment. It has been found that If the hairs of tho head be black there aro about 120,000, or if they be flaxen there aro about 140,000. But God knows the exact number: "The hairs of your head are all numbered." Would Christ impress us with tho divins watchfulness and care, ho speaks of the sparrow* that wore a nuisance in those times. They were caught by the thousands in tho net. They wore thin and scrawny and had comparatively no meat on their bones. They Beemed almost valueless, whether living or dead. Now, argues Christ, if my Father takes care of them, will he not take oare of youf Christ would havo the Christian, despondent over his slowness of religious development, go to his com field for a lesson- He watches first tho green shoot pressing up through the olods, gradually strengthening into a stalk, and last of all the husk swolllug out with the pressure of theoorn: "First tho blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear."

Would David sot forth tho freshness and beauty of genuine Christian charactor, he sees an eagle starting from its neet just after tho mohing season, its old feathers shed, aud its wiugs and breast decked with new down and plumes, its body as finely feathered as that of her young ones just beginning to try the speed of their wings. Thus rejuvenated and replumed is tho Christian's faith and hope, by every season of communion with God. "Thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." Would Solomon represent the annoyance of a contentious woman's tongue, ho points to a leakage in the top of his house or tent, where, throughout the stormy day, the water comes through, falling upon tho floor—drip I drip I dripl And ho says: "A continual dripping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike."

Would Christ set forth the character of those who make great profession of piety, bnt have no fruit, he oompares them to barren fig trees, which have v»ry largo and showy leaves, and nothing but leaves. Would Job illustrate deceitful friendships, he speaka of brooks in those dimes, that wind about in different directions, and dry up when yon want to drink out of thatnt "My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and aa the stream of brooks they pass David when he would impress as with tbe despondtooy into which he bad stink, oompares It to a mwamire of those regions, through which hs bad doubtless sometttttes tsried to walk, but ffmk in up to hia nook, and he cried: "I sink in deep mire where there Is no standing." Would Habakkuk set forth the oapacity which God gives the good man to walk safely amid the wildest perils, be points to the wild Mijtnal called the hind walking over slippery ~~"l leaDing from wild crag to wiW

:rug, iy tins jn-cu.iar malto of us palmly to sustain itself in tho most danger»us pl/vws: "Tho Lord God is my strength, ind ho will make my f(©6 like hind's feet*

ALL XATUR* PAYS TIUBUTH.

•Tob maken all natural object* pay tribute to the royalty of hlit book. As you go through some chapters of Job you feel as if it were a bright rpring morning, au/1, an you see the glittering drops from the gra^i under your feet, you say with that patriajvk, "Who hath Imgotteu tho drop* of tho dewf1 And now, na you read on, you wont in the silent midnight to behold the waving of a gv«»t light upon your path, and you look up to find it the aurora lioreali*^ which Job ditnrilx»d so long ago as "tho bright light iai the clouds nnd the splendor that oouioth out of tho north." As you read ou, thoro is darknetts hurtling In the heavens, and tho showers

and the mountain torrents in red fury fonm over tho rn-in iinlvinj| run! with the nuiio poet, you o.wlnim, "Who can mimtior clouds in \vL-,h»n, or who can -\y tha bottles of heavenT' As 3"ou read ou, you fool younwif noming in froety climes, and, in fancy, wading through tho snow, you say, with that, samo inspired writer, "Hast thou entered into tho treasures of the Rnowf' And while the sharp sle«t ilrives in your face, ami tho hall »tin your cheek, you quote him again: "Hast thou soea the trea»urort of tho haill" In tho Psalmist's writings I Ixsar tho voices of tho sea: "Deep col loth unto deep and tho roar of forests: "Tho Lord shakotli Mve wilderness of' Tvadiwh and the loud peal of the black two pent: "This 0 _xl of glory thuiHlweth j" and tho rustle of the long Bilk on tho well filled husks: "The valleys aro covered rv+frh oomand tho ory of wild beasts: "The young lions roar after thoir proy the hnm of palm trtvm and oedars: "Tho righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, ho shall grow hke a cedar in Lebanon the Rough of wings and tho swiri of fljw: "Dominion over the fowl the air and tbe fleh of the nea."

Tho truths ot tho gowpel might have bq«n presented in technical terms, and by the means of dTy definitions, but undo." thes* tha world would not have listened or felt. How could the safety of trusting upon Christ have boon presented, wero it not tho flgtiro of a rock? How could tho gladdening effect of tho gospel havo boon set forth, hail not Zacharias thought of tho dawn of tho morning, oxcluiming: "Tho day spring from on high hath visited us to givo light to them that sit in darknoM." How could tho soul's IntonsxJ longing for Christ havo bo^n presented so well aa by tho emblem of natural hunger and natural thirst? As the lalco gathers into its bosom the shadow of hills around, and tho gleam of stars above, so. In theae great d«ops of divino truth, all objee.tn iu nature aro grandly reflected. Wo walk forth in the spring titno, and evory thing breathes of the Resurrection. Bright blotworn and spriuging grass speak to us of the coming up of tboso whom wo havo lovod, whon in the whito rolxis of their joy and coronation thoy shall appear.

And when In the nutumn of tho year naturo preaches thousands of funeral sermons from tho text, "We all do fado as a leaf," nnd scatters her elesriot in our path, wo cannot help but think of sickness and tho tomb. Evon winter, "being dead, yet spoakoth." The world wiii hot bo argued into the right. It will bo tenderly..Illustrated into tho right. Toll them what religion is like. When the mother tried to tell her dying child what boavon was, she compared it to light. "But that hurts my eyes," said tho dying girl. Then tho mother compared heaven to music. "But any sound hurts mo I am so wealc," said tl»e dying child. Then sho was told that hoavon was like mother's arms. "Oh, take mo there!" she said. "If it is like mother's arms, take me there!" Tho appropriate simile had been found.at last.

NATURE'S LAWS DHPEND THB ONIUSTIAX. Another contribution which tho natural world is making to the kingdom of Christ is tho defense and aid which tho elements are oompellod to givo to the Christian personally. There is no law in nature but is sworn for the Christian's defense. In Job this thought is presented, as a bargain made between tho inanimate creation and the righteous man: "Thou shalt bo in league with the stonss of the field." What a grand thought that the lightnings, and the tempests, and the hail, and the frosts, which aro tho enemies of unrighteousness, are all marshaled aa tho Christian's bodyguard. They fight for htm They strike with an arm of flro or clutch with their fingers of ica Everlasting peace is deol&red between tho fiercest elements of nature and tho good man. Thoy may in their fury soem to bo indiscriminate, smiting down the righteous with tho wicked, yet thoy cannot damage the Christian's soul, although thoy may shrivel his body. The wintry blast that howls about your dwelling, you may call your brother, and tho south wind coming up on a Juno day by way of a flower garden, you may oall your sister. Though BO mighty in circumference and diameter, the sun and the moou have a special charge ooncernlng you. "The sun shidl not smite thee by day, nor tho moon hy night" El omenta and forces hidden in tho earth are now harnessed and at work in producing for you food and clothing. Some grain field that you never saw presented you this day with your morning moaL Tho great earth and the heavens aro tho busy loom at work for you and shooting light, and silvery stream, and sharp lightning aro only woven threads In the great loom, with God's foot on the shuttle. Tho same spirit that converted your soul has also converted the elements from enmity toward you into inviolable friendship, and furthest, star and deepest cavern, regions of everlasting cold as well as ollmes of eternal summer, all havo a mission of good, direot or Indirect, for your spirit. THE STUDY OF NATURE ASSISTS REUCUOOS

THOUGHTS.

Now I infer from this that tho study of natural objects will increase our religious knowledge. If David and Job and John and Paul could not afford to let go without observation one passing cloud, or rift of snow, oar spring blossom, you cannot afford to let them go without study. Men and woman of God most eminent in all ages for faith and zeal indulged in such observations—Payson and Baxter and Doddridgo and Hannah More. That man is not worthy the name of Christian who saunters listlessly among these magnifloentdisclosures of divino power around, beneath and above us, stupid and unlnstructed.

They are not worthy to live in a desert, for that has its fountains and palm tree«( nor in regions of everlasting loo, for even there tho stars kindlo their lights, and auroras flash, and huge ioeborgs shiver in the morning light, and God's power sits upon them as upon a great white thronei. Yot there are Christians in the ohuroh who look upon all Mich tendencies

mind and heart as soft contimentallr ttes, and because they believe this printed mvelation of God are oontont to be infidels in regard to all that has been written in this great book of tbe universe, written in letters of stars. In paragraphs of oonstellatlona, and tHiLgfcrotod with sunset and thunder olood and spring morning.

BONO&ABUI POEMOW or THE CEUUSQAH. I Infer, also, the transcendent linportanoa of CStrist's religion. Nothing is so far down, and nothing is to high up, and nothing so tar oat but God makes it pay tax to tho Christian religion. If snow and tempest and dragon are expected to praise God, snpposs yoa he •xpoote no homage from your eoull tThan
