BANGKOK. July 21. M. Favie, Frenc h minister resident, has lowered the llag over his offices and has notified- the Siamese government that he will leave the city to go aboard the French war ship Ineonstante on Wednesday. He has requested the government to provide pilots to conduct the Lutin and Comete down the river. French subjects in Pangkok will be plated under the protection of the Dutch consul. PAIUS, July 21. The Temps says that the beginning of the blockade will be deferred until Thursday or Friday to enable France to take the steps prescribed by Interntrtioiial law. llesides the blockade military operation will be opened shortly. The details of those operations are still undetermined. They will be settled at a cabinet council within a day or two. Steps will be taken in Indo-China towards serious action immediately after the arrival of the battalion of the foreign legion. The second portion of the b.tttalion sailed from Marseilles yesterday. The native militia will le reorganized, and together with the imported companies of the foreign legion will co-operate with the force already in active service in the Khong district. The Llberte says that the French gunloats will probably go down the river, shell and destroy the Paknam forts and then return to their position before Pangkok to bombard the palace. Some painful measure is necessary, adds this journal, for the preservation of France's prestige. Knlitntl !: A I 1 Slnm. The Iebats says that Siam. as a riceproduclng count r"i probably does not fear greatly the blockade. As for operations on lar.d, the Debats thinks the Siamese will be provided surreptitiously by Kngland with all the arms they need. The majority of the Paris newspapers devote as much space to denunciations of Kngland as to the matter at issue between France und Siam. England is reproached by them with supporting the Siamese in their opposition to France's just demands and with planning to give the Siamese secret aid when hostilities betrin. The extreme coservatlve and radical newspapers alone abstain from discussing the situation. They are holding back so as to denounce the government in case the Siamese venture proves a fizzle. A dispatch from Home says that Italy has asked England to protect Italian subjects. The Siamese minister in this city has not received his passports from the French government. Immediately after M. Pavle's departure from I'.angkok he will go to Lisbon or Madrid, as he is accredited to Spain and Portugal as well as to Frame. The ministers still hope for a peaceable settlement of the trouble. The Siamese secretary of legation Mid last evening that no further news had be-n received at the' legation yesterday from Bangkok. Upon seeing M. Pavie embark, he added, the Siamese government might decide to accept the terms of the ultimatum. This supposition, however, was merely personal and did not rest on any definite Information. A Move of Itnnnlu. The Paris Soir utters a threat that France and Russia will combine to put the screw on England and says: "The concordance between the Russian movement in the Paimirs and that of France In Siam has not been sufficiently remarked. It may be mentioned In passing that Russia, hides the nature of her advance In the Paimirs by calling it a scientific expedition." Ahxorltlng Topic In London. LONDON. July 21. A dispatch from Paris to a news agency states that the blockade of the Siamese coast will become effective on Thursday or Friday next. The Franco-Siamese complication has been the one absorbing topic in the lobbies of the house of commons today. The situation Is regarded with apprehension by all parties and the last news from Ilangkok and Paris is read with as much anxiety as eagerness. On all sides repret la expressed that the British warships in Siamese waters were not reinforced a month ago, as the liritish Interests In Siam outnumbered the French a hundred to one. This afternoon a council of ministers was summoned at the Instance of Lord Roseberry, secretary of state for foreign affairs to meet In the prime minister's copm In the house of commons. The only subject discussed was the situation at Bangkok. MAXAGt'A HOMn.inDED. Two Persona Killed lr the Explo. Rlon of Shell. MANAGUA. Nicaragua. July 21.

Emory Mosa Held In u Preliminary Trial to the Urnnd Jury. KOKOMO. July 24. Special. In the preliminary trial of Emory Moss, charged with a felonious assault on the person of M. L. Garrigus, growing out of the attempt to tar-and-feather this man on the night of July 1, he was held to the grand Jury in the sum of $10.000. The defense introduced no testimony and the accused was held on the evidence of Garrigus alone. On the night of the assault he said to various persons that he had recognized none of his assailants. On the stand he testified to having positively identified Emory Moss as one of the parties In the hallway where he was assaulted. It is generally believed that Garrigus was to be made the victim of a tar-and-featherlng bee. In which Moss was a party, he having a personal grievance against Garrigus. In the court Garrigus was allowed to express his "suspicions" against several reputable citizens of Kokomo, who will willingly m-et the Issue. Under strict rules of evidence in the circuit cojrt the victims of his spite wdl be given an opportunity to answer. A VERY BRUTAL ASSAULT. I'HOF. I.OMJIJEX KMICKKD DOWN AT lillKKMMSTLK.

GREENCASTLE. July 24 Special. As Prof. Longden was walking down the street this morning to his work he was attacked and brutally beaten by Frank O'llalr and James Nelson. The cause of this attack was the illfeeling which had arisen from the fact that Prof. Longden had refused a pass in German to Mr O'Hair and a sister of Mr Nelson. This was refused because of poor work in class and alleged cheating on the final examination. This refusal prevented their graduation from the university. Several articles have appeared in the past week In which it was claimed that these parties had always stood high as students. There are a few facts which contradict these statements. Messrs. O'Hair and Nelson were once placed upon good behavior by the faculty because of a malicious note involving the good reputation of a fellow student. This restriction was never removed. A mere glance at the university records will disprove tlie statement as to the good studentship of the parties refused graduation. Much more might be said along this line, which is equally adverse to them. The students of the university have rested very uneasily under the misrepresentations of the various newspapers, and this last uncalled-for and unprovoked attack aroused their deej.est indignation. A mass meeting of these attending the summer school who were present when the diüiculty lirst arose, was held In the college hall this afternoon. Tho following resolutions were adopted: Whereas. W students, now present at DcPauw university, believe that James Nelson and Frank O'Hair had no just cause for assaulting Prof. Longde Whereas, They committed an v.trovoked asualt upon him. Whereas, Prof. Longden has conducted himself as a gentleman during the entire difficulty. Be it therefore resolved, That we, the students now present at Del'auw university, deny that we have ever given our support to these unworthy students; that we recognize this assault as an act which sprang from an unjustifiable, malignant and a brutal enmity; that we extend to Prof. Longden our heartfelt sympathy and support on account of the unjust jrsecutlons he has undergone; that we consider Prof. Longden's conduct throughout the whole affair worthy of commendation, and that we denounce as false all newspaper reports contrary to the sentiment of these resolutions. We will add further that we know from numerous communications received that if all the students were here they w ould enter heartily into the spirit of these resolutions. The above paper was signed by Florence Young. James M. House, Frank Foxworthy, Richard T. Eddy, D. V. Willlams. John E. Higdon. James II. Cooper, Charles A. Cooper, Marie Polk, W. E. Lire. T. C.

Dunlop, W. A. Collings, and L. C. Bently. Messrs. O'Hair and Nelson laid in wait this morning for Prof. Longden for nearly 'an hour before he appeared. When he did appear Mr. O'Hair greeted him and said he wished to talk with him. Prof. Longden replied that he had a class next hour, but Mr. O'Hair responded that this examination question must be settled here and now. Then he struck Prof. Longden, knocking him down. This treatment continued until interfered with by the appearance of some citizens. Mr. Nelson took no further part In the brawl than to say: "Kill him. damn him: give him hell." This language was but a continuation of his recent treatment of Prof. Lengden. About a week ago he and O'Hair met Prof. Longden on the street. N elson took him by the hand and said: "How are you, Prof. Longden; I am glad to see you. This Is the first time I have had an opportunity to tell you that you are a liar and a coward." The evident desire of Prof. Longden to avoid any trouble with these quarrelsome men makes the continued attacks upon him all the more detestable. O'Hair was arrested and placed under bond for his appearance before the mayor tomorrow morning. Death nt Mrs. Hamilton. GREENSBURG. July 24. Special. Mrs. R. P.

ONE QUIET SUNDAY,

Foreigners in Midway Took a Day's Rost And All Else Was Peaceful at the Fair. ONE MAN WANTED INSIDE But It Was Doubtless a Plan to Get Evidence For Use In the Injunction Before Judge Stein. Xurniw Eaenpe of the Manufacturer' lltiililiiig from Fire The Edict of Chief A 1 1 1011 nnd .Mnrnlml Murphy The IiimmI MiouIiik of Indiana Hotter ut the Fair Indianapolis People ov in Chicago. CHICAGO, July 2.T The world's fair was c losed today. The whole aspect of the white city was one of peaceful quiet. The people of the Midway Plaisance sat around and told stories of their faraway homes and slept and rested and had a good time among themselves generally. Toward noon a man appeared at the Sixty-fourth-st. gate and offered a ticket for admission and was refused. He then took the numbers of the gate men who refused to let him in. It is supposed he was securing evidence for prosecuting the exposition officials for contempt of court. Judge Philip Stein having granted an injunction to restrain the officials from closing the fair Sundays. From this on fireworks will not be permitted on the fair grounds, or they will have to be set off away from the buildings. Iast night a lomb was sent up, and before it had reached a great hight It exploded and the shell, falling on the manufactures' building, crashed through the skylight and set fire to the curtain stretched below. Had It not been for the prompt work of the fire department the building and perhaps others would have been consumed. Two firemen climbed 100 feet above the big beams and tore down the burning cloth, extinguishing the flames, which had obtained considerable headway. "That ends the fireworks," said Chief Allison of the manufactures building. "Either the fireworks must be stopped altogether or no more must be near the big buildings. After the fire Thursday night I sent a letter to the council of administration protesting against the firing of rockets from Music hall wharf. Tonight they were fired successfully from a float 1,000 feet from the shore. I shall forward another protest against the firing of bombs from the beach." Marshal Murphy said that no fireworks should be allowed within 1,000 feet of the shore. Some such action as Marshal Murphy and Chief Allison suggest will probably be adopted before the next display. Good Shovrlntc for Indiana Ilntter. CHICAGO, July 23. Special. Owing to lack of money to afford refrigerator cans In which to ship Indiana butter as other states are shipping it, scores are not as high as they would be in cooler weather. Kobert MeBeth of Farmland creamery was the highest in creamery for July, score Ml, and Mrs. Caroline Eggerston of Spieeland, Henry county, the highest on dairy, score 92. she receiving the second prize of the four offered for the best score for dairy butter. This prize entities her to twenty-five days' lodging In the woman's dormitory in September. All exhibitors from Indiana In dairy products, fifty in number, will be allowed to exhibit, and In October a smaller exhibit of butter, fifteen of the highest scores, and the remainder of the 51,000 appropriation to the dairy will be devoted to a cheese exhibit. All creameries in the state making cheese are invited to exhibit in October. The freight will be paid on all exhibits and after exhibition the cheese sold and proceeds returned to exhibitors.

PLEXTV OF ASSETS HIT SOT AVAIL AHLE AT PRESENT. CONNERSVILLE, July 24. When the hour for opening arrived this morning the following notice was posted on the Citizens bank: "To depositors: Finding it utterly impossible to make collections or to raise upon kmy assets, owing to the general monetary stringency now prevailing, I have concluded In the Interest of all concerned, to suspend business. A statement is being prepared, which will set forth the assets and liabilities. I can assure depositors that evey claim against the bank will be paid In full with the least possible delay. In addition to the bank's assets, my entire estate, both real and personal, shall be held inviolate for the payment of every claim against the bank In full. J. N. HUSTON." To say that this suspension was a shock to the community would be putting it mildly, indeed. The bank was owned solely by Mr. Huston, and he has had the sole management of it for twenty years, building up a business creditable to himself and the community. The names of some 1.500 active depositors were on the books some weeks ago. Mr. Huston's enemies circulated malicious and slanderous falsehoods that he wu speculating In Chicago margins. This coming about the time of the

great financial unrest, made the business of the ex-United States treasurer's affairs very serious. The liabilities are about $150,000. Mr. Huston's total assets will reach near $500.000. He holds more than enough collateral to liquidate the total Indebtness of the bank as soon as it can be realized upon. Mr. Huston is a man in whom people yet have an abiding faith and confidence, and nearly all feel that they will get every dollar of their deposits. In an Interview today Mr. Huston said: "It is my misfortune. None of the depositors or creditors will lose a cent. My personal property wlil more than cover all liabilities, to say nothing about the real estate. It will not affect any of the industries in which I am interested In the least. The real cause of the suspension Is the rumors that have been spread abroad that I was Interested in foreign speculations and had lost heavily. There's nothing in the story, but it had the effect to scare quite a number of my depositors, which left me in a crippled condition. The bank is my own Individual property, and every dollar that I am worth will stand good for my liabilities. No one will lose anything. All that I ask la a little time and everything will be adjusted satisfactorily. I have been building up a business for twenty years here, and always took pride In my honesty. Now I have the opportunity to show the people that I am honest. I "vant no one to lose anything, not even those who have been instrumental in bringing my misfortune about."

MINERS DRINK AND FIGHT. HINS AM) POLES ItlOT TKCAll SCUA.VTO.V, 1A. A Itnee Wnr In "Which Over Thirty Are Hurt, Several Fatally Tlie Situation Among:- the Striking Men in KuuMUa Wail tor' "Wild Eyed Speech. SCRANTON, Pa., July 23. Yesterday was pay day at the mines at Priceburg, a populous borough of this county, and the Huns and Poles of the town, and there are hundreds of them there, began to drink heavily. Last night a Hun and a Pole engaged In a fight in Bryan Fallon's saloon and their countrymen took sides with them, and a free fight resulted. The borough police arrested four Hungarians and lodged them In the Priceburg jail. Later the Hungarians held an indignation meeting, and then proceeded in a body to the jail, where they overpowered the keeper and liberated the prisoners. This caused the largest riot that has occurred in this region In sixteen years. The Poles took exception and a race -war commenced, lasting three hours, the town being taken possession of and thfc officers driven off. Over thirty men were injured, three fatally, and one Pole had his ears cut off. Many windows were broken with stones and clubs. Shortly before midnight Deputy Sheriff Craig arrived with a well armed posse and overawed the rioters and restored peace. Many arrests will follow. A I I n er'i.'ii nii 1 1 on n 1 Speech. , WEIR CIT1, Kas., July 23. The Sabbath passed quietly in this mining district. The mines were of course all idle and working miners kept strictly out of the way of the strikers. The mine owners have decided to not accept the protection of deputy sheriffs offered by Sheriff Arnold. They say the deputy sheriffs are all appointed from the ranks of the strikers and their sympathizers and that the protection they afford would not meet the occasion. The owners are arming all their men and the latter are under orders to guard their lives ami the properties upon which they ure at work at all hazards. The sensation of the day is the speech made last night by President Walters of the United mine workers' western association. He had Just returned from Missouri, where he had been working for the cause of the strikers. He addressed a big mass meeting of the strikers and In the course of his remarks he praised the miners for the work they had done at Clemens' strip pit, where they were fired on by the new men nt work. He regretted that he was absent at the time for he would have been iflad to have led the men to the conflict. THEIR HEADS BLOWN OFF. A POWDER MAGAZINE EXPLODES AT IIl.TI.GTO., IXD.

SERMON ON DIVINE SCIENCE

1)11. TALMACn ADDRESSES THE CHAITAIQUAXS AT MOXOA LAKE. A the Israelites Fought with AVenpotii of Metal, So the Church Must Now Employ Lorle, Astronomy, -ology, Chemistry and All for God und Truth. MADISON', Wis., July 23. A great throng of many thousands from all parts of the North and West are gathered at the Monona Lake assembly, a Chautauqua held near this ' city. The Rev. Dr. Talmage this forenoon preached to this great multitude on "Sharpened Axes," the text being I Samuel xiii. 19-21, "Now, there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel." etc. My loving and glad salutation to this uncounted host, Chautauquans, Christian endeavorers, gospel workers and their friends from all parts of Wisconsin and America, saints and sinners! My text Is gloriously appropriate. What a galling subjugation the Israelites were suffering! The Philistines had carried off all the blacksmiths and torn down all the blacksmiths shops and abolished the blacksmith's trade In the land of Israel. These Philistines had a particular grudge against blacksmiths, although I have always admired them and have sometimes thought I ought to have been one myself. The Philistines would not even allow these parties to -work their valuable mines of brass and Iron, nor might they make any swords or spears. There were only two swords left in all the land. Yea, these Philistines went on until they had taken all th grindstones from the land of Israel, so that if an Israelltlsh farmer wanted to sharpen his plow or ax he had to go over to the garrison of the Philistines to get it done. There was only one sharpening instrument left in the land and that was a file. The farmers and the mechanics having nothing to whet up the colter and the goad and the pickax save a simple file. Industry was hindered and work practically disgraced. God'a People Disarmed. The great Idea of these Philistines was to keep the Israelites disarmed. They might get iron out of the hills to make swords of, but they would not have any blacksmiths to weld this Iron. If they got the iron welded they would have no grindstones on which to bring the instruments of agriculture or the military weapons to an edge. Oh, you poor, weaponless Israelites, reduced to a file, how I pity you! But these Philistines were not forever to keep their heel on the neck of God's children. Jonathan, on his hands and knees, climbs up a great rock beyond which were the Philistines and his armor-bearer, on his hands and knees, climbs up the same rock and these two men with their two swords hew to pieces the Philistines, the Lord throwing a great terror upon them. So it was then, so it is now. The two men of God on their knees mightier than a Philistine host on their feet. I learn first from this subject how dangerous it is for the church of God to allow its weapons to stay in the hands of Its enemies. These Israelites might again and again have abtalned a supply of swords and weapons, as. for Instance, when they took the spoils of the Ammonites, but these Israelites seemed content to have no swords, ho spears, no blacksmiths, no grindstones, no active iron mines, until it was too late for them to make any resistance. I see the farmers tugging along with their pickaxes and plows, and I say, "Where are you going with those things?" They say, "Oh, we are going over to the garrison of the Philistines to get these things sharpened." I say, "You foolish men; why don't you sharpen them at home?" "Oh," they say. "the blacksmiths' shops are all torn down, and we have nothing left us but a file." CiiriNtians ced the Schools. So It is in the church of Christ today. We are too willing to give up our weapons to the enemy. Tb'e world boasts that It has gobbled up the schools and the colleges, and the arts and the scitjfnces, and the literature and the printing press. Infidelity Is making a mighty attempt to get all our "weapons In its hand, and then to keep them. You know it is making this boast all the time, and after awhile, when the great battle between sin and righteousness has opened. If we do not look out we will be as badly off as these Israelites, without any swords to fight with and without any sharpening Instruments. I call upon the superintendents of literary Institutions t see to It that the men who go Into the class rooms to stand beside the Leyden Jars, and the electric batteries, and the microscopes or telescopes be children of God, not Philistines. The athistic thinkers of this day are trying to get all the Intellectual weapons of this century in their own grasp. What we want is scientific Christians to capture the science, and sc holastic Christians to capture the scholarship, and philosophic Christians to capture the philosophy, and lecturing Christians to take back the lecturing platform. Christiuu Men of Science. We want to send out against Schenkel and Strauss and Rer.an of the past men like the late Theodore Chrlstlleb of Bonn and against the Infidel scientists a Godworshiping SUllman and Hitchcock and Agasiz. We want to capture all the philosophical apparatus and swing around the telescopes on the swivel until through them we can see the morning star of the Redeemer, and with mlneraloglcal hammer discover the "Rock of Ages," and amid the flora of the realms find the "Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley." . We want a clergy learned enough to discourse of the human eye, showing It to be a microscope and a telescope In one Instrument, with 800 wonderful contrivances and lids closing 30,000 or 40,000 times a day, all Its muscles and nerves and bones showing the Infinite skil of an Infinite ,God, and then winding up with the peroration. "He that formed the eye shall he not see?" And then we want to discourse about the human ear. Its wonderful Integuments, membranes and vibration, and Its chain of small bones, and its auditory nerves, closing with the question, "He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?" And we want some one able to expound the first chapter of Genesis, bringing to it the geology and the astronomy of the world until, as Job suggested, "the stones of the field shall be In league" with the truth and "the stars In their courses shall fight against Sisera." Oh church of God, go out and recapture these weapons. Let men of God go out and take possession of the platform. Let all the printing press of this country speak out for Christ and the reporters and the typesetters, and the editors and publishers swear allegiance to the Lord God of truth. Ah. my friend, that day must come, and If the great body of Christian men have not the faith or the courage or tha

consecration to do it, then let some Jonathan, on his busy hands and on his praying knees, climb up on the rock of hindrance, and in the name of the Lord God of Israel slash to pieces those literary Philistines. If these men will not be converted to God, then they must be destroyed. Again, 1 learn from this subject what a large amount of the church's resources is actually hidden and burled and undeveloped. The bible intimates that that was a very rtch land, this land of Israel. It says, "The stones are iron, and out of the hills thou shalt dig brass." and yet hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of this metal was kept under the hills. Well, that is the difficulty with the church of God at this day. Its talent is not developed. If one-half of its energy could be brought out. It inisrht take the public iniquities of the day by the throat and make them bite the dust. If human eloquence were consecrated to the Lord Jesus Christ, it could in a few years persuade this whole eavth to surrender to God. There is enough undeveloped Christian energy In the United States to bring the whole world to Christ, but it is buii. d under strata of indifference and under whole mountains of sloth. Now. is it not time for the mining to begin, and the pickaxes to plunge, and for this buried metal to be brought out and put into the furnaces and be turned into howitzers and carbines for tlv Lord's host? The vast majority of Christians in this day are useless. The nmst of the Lord's battalion belong to Hie reserve corps. The m..st of the crew are ash-, p in the hammocks. The most of the metal is under the hills. Oh. is it not time for the church of God to rouse up and understand th it we want all the energies, all the talent and all the wealth enlisted for Christ's sik-? I like the nickname that the Kiilü Ii soldiers gave to l;lu ht r, the c niman i. r. They called him Old Forwards. We have had enough retreats in the chunh of Christ, let us have a glorious advance. And I say to you now as the general said when his troops wire affrighted. Rising up in his slirrups. l is hair Hying in the wind, he lifted up Iiis voice until 20.000 troops heard him crying out. "Forward, the whole line!" 1'nul, the IMiiloNoplicr. Again, I learn from this subj vt that we some'imes do well to take advantage of the world's sharpening instruments. These Israelites were reduced to :.. file, and so they went over to the garrison of the Philistines to get their axes and their goads and their plows sharpened. The bible distinctly states in the context that they had no other instruments now with which to do this work, and the Israelites did right when they went over to the Philistines to use their grindstones. My friends, is it not right for us to employ the world's grindstones? If there be art, if there bo logic, if there be business faculty on the other side, let us go over and employ it for Christ's sake. The fact Is, we fight with too dull weapons, and we work with too dull Implements. We hack and we maul when we ought to make a clean stroke. Let us go over among sharp business men and among sharp literary men and find out what their tact is and then transfer It to the cause of Christ. If they have science and art, it will do us good to rub against it. In other words, let us employ the world's grindstones. We will listen to their music, and we will watch their acumen, and we will use their grindstones, and we will borrow their philosophical apparatus to make our experiments, and we will borrow their printing presses to publish our bibles, and we will torrow their rail trains to carry our Christian literature, and we will borrow their ships to transport our missionaries. That was what made Paul such a master in his day. He not only got all the learning he could get of Ir. Gamaliel, but afterward, standing on Mars hill and in a crowded thoroughfare, quoted their poetry, and grasped their logic, and wielded their eloquence, and e mployed their mythology until Dionysius, the Areopagite. learned In the schools of Athens and Heliopolis. went down under his tremendous powers. That was what gave Thomas Chalmers his power in his day. He conquered the world's astronomy and compelled it to ring out the wisdom and greatness of the Lord until for the second time the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. The Learned Edward. That was what gave to Jonathan Elwards his Influence in his day. He conquered the world's metaphysics and forced it into the service of e.od until not only the old meeting house in Northampton, Mass., but all Christendom felt thrilled by his Christian power. Well, now, my friends, we all have tools of Christian usefulness. Do not let them lose their edges. We want no rusty blades in this fight. We want no colter that cannot ride up the glebe. We want no ax that cannot fell the trees. We want no goad that cannot start the lazy team. Let us get the very best grindstones we can find though they be in the possession of the Philistines, compelling them to turn the crank w hile we bear down with all our might on the swift revolving wheel until all our energies and faculties shall be brought up to a bright, keen, sharp, glittering edge. Again. Div subject teaches us on what a small allowance Philistine iniquity puts a man. Yes, these Philistines shut up the mines, and then they took the spears and the swords, then they took the blacksmiths, then they took the grindstones, and they took everything but a file. Oh, that is the way sin works. It grabs everything. It begins with robbery and it ends with robbery. It despoils this faculty and that faculty and keeps on until the whole nature is gone. Was the man eloquent before, it generally thickens his tongue. Was he fine in personal appearance, It mars Iiis visage. Was he affluent, it sends the sheriff to sell him out. Was he influential, it destroys his popularity. Was he placid and genial and loving, it makes him splenetic and cross, and so utterly Is he changed that you can see he is sarcastic and rasping and that the Philistines have left him nothing but a file. Oh. "the way of the transgressor is hard." His cup Is bitter. His night is

Philistine iniquity says to that man, "Now. surrender to me. and I will give you all you want, music for the dance, swift steeds for the race, imperial couch to phi niler on, and you shall be refreshed with the rarest fruits, in baskets v golden filigree."

History ti l's us that vh- n Rome was founded, on that day there were twelve vultures Hying through the air. but when a transgressor :jes the sky is black with whole Hocks of them. Vultures! When I se sin robbing so many people, and I see them going down day by day and week by week, I must give a plain warning. I d:ire not keep it back lest I risk: the salvation of my own soul.

"When I say to the wicked, thou shalt surely die, and, thmi givest him not warning, that same man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hands." More Metul Needed. I learn front this subject what a sad thing it is when the church of God loses its metal. These Philistines saw that if they could only get hA the metallic weapons ut of the ban. Is of the Israelites all would be well, and therefore they took the swords and the spears. They did not want them to have a single metallic weapon. When the metal of the Israelites was gone, their strength, was gone. This is the trouble with the church of Gd today. It is surrendering its courage. It has not get enough metal. How seldom it is that you see a man taking his position in pew, or in pulpit, or in a religious society, and holding that position against all oppression, and all trial, and all persecution, and all criticism. More1 Courage eeded. We want something of the determination of the general who went into the war. and as he cut en d bis first battle his knees knocked together, his physical courage not quite up to his moral courage, and he looked down tit his knec3 and said: "Ah. if you knew where I was going to take you. you would shake worse than that:" There is only one eiuestion fur you to usk and for me to ask. What des CJod want me to do? Where is the field? Where is the work? Where is the anvil? Whre is the prayer meeting? Where is the pulpit? And finding out what God wants us to do, go ahead and do it all the energies of our body, mind and soul enlisted in the undertaking. Oh, my brethren, we have but little time In which to fit. lit f.-r God. You will be dead soon. Put in tlie Christian cause every energy that God givers you. "W hat thy hand find, th to do, do it w ilh all thy might, for there is neither wisdom nor device in the grave whither we are all hastening." Oh, is it not high time that we wake out of our sleep? Church of God, lift up your head at the coming victory! The Philistines will go down ami the Israelites will go up. We are on the winning side. Hear that on the winning side! I think Just now the king's horses ere lieing hooked up to the chariot, and when he (Iocs ride down the sky there will besuch a hoanna among his friends and such a wailing among lis enemies as will make the earth tremble and the heavens sing. I see now the plumes of the Lord'3 cavalrymen tossing in the air. Tha archangel before the throne has already burnished his trumpet, and then he will put its golden lips to his own. and he will blow the long, loud blast that will make all nations free. Clap your hands, all ye people! Hark! I hear the falling thrones and the dashing down of demolshed Iniquities. Tainting the town red means headache in the morning. Simmons Liver Regulator prevents it.
