Here are Abraham r.nd Inasc, the one a kind, old, gracious, affectionate father, the other a brave, obedient, religions BOJt From Ma brciized app?arr::ri yon oiiii teil thus tbis sou hsa I: »c jM-ch in the fields, and from his shaggy dress you know that lie hag been watching the herds. The mountain air has painted his cheek rubicund. He is SM) or 25 or, as some suppose, 33 years of age, nevertheless a boy, considering the length of "life tu which people lived in those times and the fact that a sen never is anything but a boy to a father. I remembter that mv father used to come into the house the. children were home on some festal occasion and say, "Where are U'e boys?" nlinmigh "the boys" were 25 and 80 and 35 years of age. So this Isaac is only a boy to Abraham, and this father's heart is in kirn. It is Isaac here and Is:mc them If tiiere is any festivity around the father's tent, Isaac must enjoy it. It is Isaac's walk, and If and pfiKJttijifictH, pre*»ptirity. The father's heartstrings are all wrapped around that boy and wrapped again, until nine-tenths of the old man's life is in Isaac. I can just imagine how lovingly and proadly he looked at his only son.

Tb« SacrifiM.

Well, the dear old man bad born# a .great deal of trouble, and it bad left ite mark upon 'ulnj. In hieroglyphics wrinkle the story was written from forehead to chin. But now hi* tronble eeems all gone, and we are glad that be is very soon to reet foreve*. If

Early in the morning there is a stir around Abraham's tent. A beast of burden is fed and saddled. Abraham makee no disclosure of the awfnl sacsat. At the break of day he Bays: 'Coa»e aome, Inao, get np I We are going off on a two or three days' journey." I hear tfea ax hewing and splitting amid the wood nntil the sticks are mada the right length and the right thickness, and then they are fastened on the beast of burden. They pass on. There are four of them— Abraham, the father Isaae, the son, and two servants. Going along the read 1 aee Isaac looking np into his fa&ter'i face and saying: "Father, what is the matter? Are you not well? Has anything happened? Are yon tired} Lean on my arm." Then, turning around to the servants, the son says, "Ah, father is getting old, and he has had trouble enough in other days to kill him!"

Ltiokise Far th« tank.

The third morning has come, and it is the day of tho tragedy. The two servants are left. \vi*k the beast of burden, while Abraham and his son Isaac, as was the custom of good people in those times, wont up cu the hill to sacrifice to the Lord. The wood is taken off the beast's back and put on Isaac's back. Abraham has in one hand a pan of coals or a lamp and in the other a sharp, keen knife. Here as* all the appliances for sacrifice, you say. No, there is one thing wanting. There is no victim—no pijgeon or heifer or lamb. Isaac, not luiowing that he is to be the victim, looks up into his father's face and asks a question wj^ieh must have cut the old man to the bone, "Myfather!" Tho father said, "My sou, Isaac, here am." The son said, "Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb?" The father's lip quivered, and his heart fainted, and his knees knocked together, and bis entire body, mind and eeul shiver in sickening argaiah as he struggles to

How glad we are that th« ship tbat hae bean Tn such a stormy sea is coming at hart Into the harbor. Are yon not Njoieed that glorious old Abraham is through with his troubles? No, nol A thunderbolt From that clear eastern sky there drops into that father's tent a vote* with an announcement enough to ton black hair white and to stun the patriarch into instant annihilation. God said, "Abraham!" The old man answered, "Here I am!" God said to him, "Take thy son, thy only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriali and offer him there as a bnrnt ofFcwajj." fit other w.*de, s§ay him cut his body into fragments put the fragments on the wood set fire to the wood and let Isaac's body be ooaisumed to ashes. "Cannibalism! Murder!" says soma one. "Not so," said Abraham. I hear him solik»qrc-iK9: "Here is the boy OH whom I have depended! Oh, how I loved hiru He was given in answer to prayer, and now must I surrender him? 0 Isaac, my son Isaac, how shall I part with you? But then it is always infer to do as God asks me to. I have been in dark places before, and God got me ont. I will implicitly do as God has told me, although it is very dark. I can't see my way, but I know God makes no mistakes, and to him I commit myself and my darling son.

hack and spriakle It over the stones, so as to help and invite the flame. The altar is done—it is all done. Isaac has helped to build it. With his father he has discussed whether the top of the table is even Mid whether the wood is prop6zly i£?paxed. Thm there is a pause. The son looks around to see if there is not gome living animal that car be oaaght and bntoheced for the offering. Abraham tries to choke down his fatherly feelings and suppress his grief in order that he may break to his son the terrific news that he is to be the victim.

Ah, Isaao never looked more beautiful than on that day to his father. Jut the old man ran his emaciated fingers through his son's hair he said to himself: "How shall I give him np? What will his mother say when I come back without my boy? I thought he would have been the comfort of my declining days. I thought he would been the hope of ages to come. Beautiful and loving, and yet to die under my own hand. O God, is there not some other sacrifice that will do? Take my life and spare his! Peur out my blood and save Isaao for his mother and the w*ld!" But this was an inward struggle. The father couiicls his feelings and looks into his son's face and says, "Isaac, must I tell you all?" His son said:

Yes, father I thought you had something on your mind. Tell it.'" The father said, "My son, Isaac, thou art

the lamb!" "Oh," you say, "why didn't that young man, if he was 20 or 80 years of age, smite into the dust his infirm father He could have done it" Ah, Isaac knew by this time tbat the scene was typical of»a Messiah who was to come, and so h.e made no struggle. They fell on each other's »?d willed ijm t-b« partwg. Awfal mi matchless scene of the wilderness! The rocks echo back the breaking of their I hearts. The cry, "My son, my son!"

So I—aafs asms are fastened, his feet are tied. Che old man, rallying all hts strength, ttfta hiaa on to a pile ef weod. VaetesiBg a thoag on one side ef the altar, he makes it span the body of Isaae, and fastens the thong at the other side the altar, and another thong, and another thong. There is the lamp flickering in the wind ready to be put under the brushwood of the altar. There is the knife, sharp and keen. Abraham—struggling with his mortal feelings on the one side and the commands of God on the other—takes that knife, rubs the flat of- it on the palm of his hand, cries to God for help, comes up to the side of the altar, puts a pariti»g kiss on the brow of his boy, takes a message from him for mother and home, and then lifting the glittering weapon for the plunge of the death stroke—his muscles knitting for the work—tho hand begins to descend. It falk! Not on the heart of Isaac, but on the arm of God, who arrests the stroke, making the wilderness quake with the cry, "Abraham, Abraham, lay not thy hand upon the lad, nor do him any harm

What is this sound back in the woods? It is a crackling as of tree branches, a bleating and a struggle. Go, Abraham, and see what it is. Oh, it was a ram that, going through the woods, has its crooked horns fastened and entangled in the brushwood and could not get loose, and Abraham seizes it gladly and quickly unloosens Isaac from the altar, puts the ram on in his place, sets the lamp under the brushwood of the altar, and as the dense smoke of the sacrifids begins to rim the blood rolls down the sides of the altar and drops hissing into the Are, and I hear the words, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!"

Wen, what are yon going to get out ef this? There is an aged minister of the gospeL He says: "I should get out of it that when God tells yon to do a thing, whether it seems reasonable to you or not, go ahead and do it Here Abraham couldn't have been mistaken. God didn't speak so indistinctly that it was not certain whether he called S»ral) or Abimelech or somebody else, but with divine articulation, divine intonation, divine emphasis, he said, 'Abraham Abraham rushed blindjy ahead to do his duty, knowing that things would Come out tight. Likewise do so yourselves. There is a mystery of your life. There is some burden you have to carry. You don't know why God has put it on you. There is someypersecution, some trial, and you don't know why God allows it. There is a work for you to do, and you have not epough grace, yon think, to do it. Do as Abraham did. Advancc and do your whole duty. Be willing to give up Isaac, and perhaps you will not have to give up anything. 'Jehovah-jireh' the Lord will provide. A capital lessoii this old minister gives us.

Out yonder in this house is an aged woman, the light of heaven in her face. She is half way through the door. She has her hand on the pearl of the gate. Mother, what would you get out .of this subject? "Oh," she says, "I would learn that it is in the last pinch that God comes to tho relief. You see, the altar was rdady, and Isaac was fastened on it, and the knife was lifted, and jast at the last moment God broke in and stopped proceedings. So it has been in toy life of 70 years. Why, sir, there tras a time when the flour was all out •f the house, and I set the table at noon tnd had nothing to put on it, but five ininutes of 1 o'clock a. loaf of bread eame. The Lord will provide. My son was very sick, and I said: 'Dear Lord, don't mean to tale him away from e, do yon? Please, Lord, don't take im away. Why, there are neighbors

who have three and, four sons. This is my only son. This is my Isaac. Lord, you 'won't take him away from mo, will yon?' Bnt I saw be was gatuntf worse Mid worse all the time, aod I turned round and prayed, until after Hwhile I felt schmiesive, Mid oould pay, 'Thy will, Lord, be douff!' The r'.K gaff asm up. umi we aii gave him vp And, as was the custom in those times, we bad made the grave slothes, and we were whispering about tljf last exercises, when I looked and I saw some perspiration on his brow, showing that the fever had broken, and he spcze to as so naturally that I knew he was going to get well. He did get well, and my son Isaao, whom I thought was going to be slain and consumed of disease, was looeened from that altar. And, bless your souls, that's been so for

years, and if my voice were not se weak, and if I could see better, I could preach to you younger people a sermon, for though I can't see much I can see this—whenever you get into a tough place and your heart is breaking, if you will look a little farther into the woods, you will see, caught in the branches, a substitute and a deliverance. 'My son, God will provide himself a lamb.'

A Greater Sacrifice.

Thank you, mother, for that short sermon. I could preach back to you for a minute or two and say, never do you fear! I wish I had half as good a hope of heaven as you have. Do not fear, mother. Whatever happens, no harm will ever happen to ycm. I was going up along flight of stairs and I saw an aged Woman, very decrepit and with a cane, creeping on up. She made but very little progress,'and I felt very exuberant, md I said te £tsz, moil**-, tasw.:* noway to go up st&rs," and I threw my arras around her*'and I carried her np and put her down on the landing at the top of the stairs. She said: "Thank yon, thank yon. I am very thankful." 0 mother, when yo« get through this life's work and yen want to go up stairs and rest in the good plaoe that God has provided for ycm, yoa will not have to climb np, yon will not have to crawl up painfalfy. The "two terms that were rtfcetsfcet ea the eaosa will be flfng snMaad yoa, and yws will he hoisted with a gtortoas lift bsp dud alfweastoees aad all strpgfla. May the (Sod of Abrahamr.aad'I«ntf. be:wi(pi ycm until you see Ore. Lnab «a fee httfl*t», ]Tew, that aged minister has made a sa^gsatfea, and jhifc aged woman has made a suggest!ou. I will make a snggesttae: Isaae going «p the hill makes me think of the great sacrifice. Isaae, the only son of Abraham. Jesus, the ealy son of God. On those two "onlys" 1 bcild a tearful emphasis. O Isaac! O Jesas! But this last sacrifice was a more tremendoos one. When the knife was lifted over Calvary there was no voice that cried "Stop!" and no hand arrested it. Sharp, keen and tremendous it cut down through nerve and artery until the blood sprayed the faces of the executioners, and the midday sun dropped a veil of cloud over its face because it could not endure the spectacle. O Isaao of Mount Moriah! O Jesus of Mount Calvary Better could God have thrown away into annihilation a thousand worlds than to have sacrificed his only Son. It was not one of the ten sons it was his only Son. If he had not given up him, yeu and I woald have perished. "God so loved the world that he gave his only"— I stop there, not because I have forgotten the quotation, but because I want to think. "God so loved the world that he gayo his only begotten Son that Whosoever believeth in him should not perish, bnt have everlasting life.*' Great God, break my heart at the thought of that sacrifice. Isaac tho onh, typical of Jesus the only.

Ton see Isaac going up the hill and carrying the wood. O Abraham, why not take the load off As boy? If he is going to die so soon, why not make his test hoars easy? Abraham knew that in carrying that wood up Mount Moriah Isaae was to be a symbol of Christ carrying his own cross ap Calvary. I do not know how heavy that cross was— whether it was made of oak or acacia or Lebanon cedar. I suppose it may have weighed

100

300

800

pounds.

That was the lightest part of the burden. All the sins and sorrows of the world ware woond around that cross. The heft of one, the heft of two worlds —earth and hell were on his shoolders. O Isaao, parrying the wood of sacrifice vp Mount Moriah! O Jesus, carrying the wood of sacrifice np Mount Calvary, the agonie* of earth and hell wrapped aroand that cross I I shall never see the heavy load ai Isaac's baok that I shall not think of the crushing load on" Christ's back. For whom that load For you. For you. For me. For me. Would that all the tears that we have ever wept over our sorrows had been saved until this morning, and that we might now pour them out on the lacerated back and feet and heart of the Son of God.

Food For the Soo.1.

You say j^'If this young man was 20 or 30 years of age, why did not he resist? Why was it not Isaac binding Abraham, instead of Abraham binding Isaac? The muscle in Isaac's arm was stronger than the muscle in Abraham's withered arm. No young man 25 years of age would submit to have his father fasten him to apileof wood with intention of burning." Isaao was a willing sacrifice, and so a type of Christ who willingly came to save the world. If all the armies of heaven bad resolved to fonce Christ out from the gate, they could not have done it. Christ Was equal with God. If all the battalions of glory had armed themselves and resolved to put Christ forth and make him come ont and save this world^they could not have succeeded in it. With one stroke he would have toppled over angelio and archangelic dominion.

But there was one tbiqg that the omnipotent Christ could not stand. Our sorrows mastered him. He could not bear to see the world die without an of* fer of pardon and help, rind if all heaven had armed itself to keep him back, if the gutes of life had been bolted and

double barred, Christ would have flung the everlasting doors from their hmges, and would have sprung forth, scattering tbe hindering hosts of heaven like chaff before the whirlwind, as be esled: "1*4 I come to suffer. Lo! I COIRS to dia." Ctirif*—a willing saow'fi*#. Willing to take Bet&lebem humiliation, HVKI isaahedrin outrage, and whip^'ag puet maltreatment, and Golgotha butchery. Willing to be boqnd. Willing to suffer. Willing to die. Willing to save.

How does this affect yon? Do not your very be«»t impulses bound out toward this pain struck Christ? Get down at his feet, O ye people. Put your Kps against the wound on his right foot and help kiss away the pang. Wipe the foam from his dying lip. Get under the cross until you feel the baptism of his rushing tears. Take him into your heart with warmest love and undying enthusiasm. By your resistances you have abused him long enough. Christ is willing to save you. Are you willing to be saved? It seems to me as if this momeut were throbbing with the invitations of an all compassionate God.

I have been told that the cathedral of St. Mark stands in a quarter in the center of the city of Venice, and that when the clock strikes 12 at noon all the birds from the city and the regions round about the city fly to the square and settle down. It came in this wise: A large hearted woman, passing one noonday across the square, saw some birds shivering in the cold, and she scattered some crumbs of bread amoag them. The next day, at the same hour, she scattered more crumba of bread among them, and so on from year to year until the dsy of her death. In her w.fll she bequeathed a certain amomit

and new, at„the first stroke of the bell at noon the birds begin to come there, and wheH the clock has struck 12 the square is covered with them. How beautifully suggostive! Christ comes ont to feed thy soul today. The more hungry yon feel yourselves to be the better it ia. It is noon, and the gospel dock strikes IS. Come in flocks! Come cs doves to the window! All the air is filled with the liquid chime: Come! Com*! Oram!

Tk« Chl*f Jottkc1! Washtagtm H*m«. The chief justice and Mrs. Fuller have concluded not to renew the lease «f the house on the corner of Maasaohusctts svacae and Kghtceoth street fa which they have resided for the past few years, aiace moving from tbe Barber house on Fourteenth street and the Boundary. Tbe chief Justice, early in the summer, purchased a summer home at Sorrento, Me., and with his family has been spending the summer at that place. Mrs. Fuller came to Washington in advance of the family to select a suitable house in which to spend the winter. If the chief justice can find a house that exactly suits him, he will become a property holder in Washington, as has long been his wish.

It will be remembered that when the chief justice and Mrs. Fuller decided feme years since to move from the Boundary, they looked about for a suitable house to purchase for their permanent home in this city. Their choice at that time fell upon the large, square, old fashioned house on the northeast aide of Thomas circle, owned and occupied by Judge and Mr*. Yv'itey.

Finally an offer from the chief justice for $100,000 was accepted by Judge Wiley, and every arrangement to move into it was about completed when the transaction was suddenly and definitely brought to a close by Mrs. Wiley's refusal to sign the necessary papers. The reason for this was the house had been home to her for so many years that when it came to moving she could not bear to break up all the pleasant associations of the years by permanently parting with the property.

L«|aed of Tell

Uri Explained.

Swiss papers have of late been full of the legend of William Tell, ©id he exist or was he a pure myth? At the Altorf commemoration and the Fetspiel then given, history and legend, personified by two beautiful women, disoussed the question with critical aenmen. History accepted the role of Mrs. Betsy Prig, and "didn't believe there never was no sich a person." Legend seemed to be of the opinion that, even if he cfrd not exist, it was well to invent him, as he represented the life of nations in their struggle against tyrants.

A Swedish savant of Upsala has, however, settled the vexed question inuob to bis own satisfaction. The hero is the spirit of the pine forests. This seems quite natural. Pines have hitherto yielded chiefly turpentine, but there is no reason why they should not produce a spirit of their own. The east wind is the foe f'-om the east (Austria) which bows the lofty heads, and Tell's enesny is merely Geiseler, the German for a scourger. Another "name for the east wind is EiiM'fv and this in someway got mixed with the canton of Uri. Now, Uri was proud I its archery, and this small conceit

Self Lighting Gas.

How is gas to be made to light itself? Duke's self lighting gas burner is simply an ordinary gas burner with a small tube at the side. This is screwed into the bracket or other fitting, the gas is turned on, and in from six to ten seconds the gas lights itself. This is how it is done: The gas in issuing from the burner passes over a small knob of porous material impregnated with a rare and indestructible metal, which as a^b as the gas passes over it beoomes redhoti This red heat is communicated to a small piece of platinum wire^rhich immediately becomes incandescent and lights the gas. The little black knob is praptically indestructible, as is also the platinum wire. Therefore, as long as the burner exists, the gas on being tnrnsd on will light itself.-—London Transport.
