Our attention nrul the Htonti'in of the world is drawn to the star that iintel down to th raravunsary where Christ was born. Illlt il'l r.-i 1 -t us forK-'t that Chiist himself was a1 star. To that luminous fact my text i alls It F.Hins us if the natural world wore anxious to :nak ii p f-r the damage it did our race in furnishing the forbidden fruit. If that fruit wroupht le-ath nmoncr the nations, now all the natural j'rodu' ts shall become a symbol of blossir.fj.

If it was on your way home from a nUrht's lamusal. you f.iw no'ie of its beauty. If you merely turned over on your pillow In th" darkness, p-laiu-inn out of the window, you ln nv To tiling about th" cheerful in-Ihicne-e of that star. Hut there are many in this hnis. tonight wlu in great passes of their life, some of th-'m far mil at sea, have pa zed at that star and been thrilled through with indescribable pl.lnoss. That ttar comes trembling as thotitrh with the perils of t h darkness and yet bright with the anticipation of the day. It seems emotional with all tenderness. Its eyes filled with the tears of many sorrow. It is the pent on tin hand of the morning thrust up to signal its eomipjr. Other stars are dim, like holy car. dies In a athedral, or silver beads counted In sup'. Tstiti"iis litany, but this is a living star, a speaking star, a historic Kar, and evangelistic star bright and brilliant and triumphant symbol of the prrat Redeemer. The telegraphic operator puts Iiis Singer on the silver key of the eie trie instrument and the tidings fly across the eontlru lit, mid so it seems to me that the Sii.ger of inspiration Is plactd upon this silver point in the heavens, and it thiilN through all the earth: "laholl, l bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. I:-hold. I am the bright and morning star." Th- meaning of my text is this. As the morning star precedes eml promise the coming of a day, so Christ heralds the natural ami spiritual daw P.. In the first place, Christ heralded the coining of the creation. There was a time when there was no order, no sound of beauty. No wing stirred. No word was uttered. No lipht r-.J. As far ns Ool could look up, as far down, as far out. there was nothing. Immeasurable Kolitu le. Height and depth and length nnl breadth of nothingness. IMd Christ then exist? h, yes. "I5y Him were ail things made th.it -ire made things in heaven and tilings in earth, and things under the earth." Yes, He antedated th creation. He led forth Arcuturus and his sons. lie shojie lief, ire the fust morning. His voice was heard in the com ort when the inorniing stars serenaded the advent f tmr Inf mt earth, when, wrapped in swaddling clothes of light, it lay in the arms if the great Jehovah. He sa.' the first fountain laid. He saw the fust Hpht kindled. That hand which was afterward rushed ujw.n the cr iss was thrust Into rhaos, and it brought rut one world and wung it in that orbit; and brought am other world and swung it n another orbit, and brought out all the worlds and Fwung them in th-lr particular orbits. They ranin like sheep at the call of a rheperd. They knew his voice, and He called them all by their lames. Oh. it is an interesting thought to me tr know that Christ had something to t!o with the creation. I see now why It was so easy for Him to change water Into wine; He first created the water. I see now why it was so easy for Him to cure the mania; lie firpt created the Intellect. I see now why it was so easy for Him to hush the tempest; He sank tjer.nesaret. I see now why it was so -acy for Him to swing fish into Simon's net; He ni;id the tish. I see now why it was so easy f,r 1 i im to give sight to the blind man; He created tha optic nerve. I see now why it was so ea.sy for Him to raise Lazarus from th dead; He created the body of Lazarus and the rock that shut him In. Some suppose that Christ came a stranger to Hethleliem. Ph, no. He created the shepherds, and the flocks they watched, and th hills on which they pastured, and the bwvens that overarched their heads, :md the angels thnt chanted the chorus on that Christmas night. That hand which was afterward nailed to the cross Was an omnipotent and creative hand, and the whole universe was poised on the tip of one of His fingers. Hefore th world was. Christ was. All the worlds came trooping- up out rf the darkne. ., und H greeted them, as a father greets his children, with a "Oood morning " or a. "Oo-ui night." Hail, Lord Jesus, morning star of the first creation! Comfort for CIi rial in n t. Again, Christ heralds the dawn of comfort In a Christian soul. Sometimes we com to passe in Ute where all kinds nf tribulations meet us. You are building i:p Bonie great enterprise. You have built the foundation th3 wall. You are Just about to put on th capstone, when everything is demolished. You have a harp all strung for sweetest accord, and pome great agony crushes it. There Is a little voice hushed in the household, lilue eye dosed. Color dashed out of the -hek. The foot still. Instead of the qui k feet In the hall, the heavy tread of those who march to th gravp. ;h. what are people to do amid all these sorrows. Some sit down and mourn. Home bite their lips until the hbunl comes. Some wring their pale hands. Some fall on their faces. Some lie on their backs helplos.-? ;md look up Ir.to what seems to them an unpitying heaven. Some pull their hair clown over thHr eyes and look through with a Herd's glar. Some with both hands press their hot brain and want to di and cry: "O Clod! O Cod!" Long uisgnt. bitter night, Ktu pendous night of the world's suffering! Seme know not whi h way to turn. Hut not so the Christian man. He looks tip toward the h'uvtns. lie pees a bright nppear.mee in th heavens. Can It le only a falling star? Can it be only a delusion? Nay, nay. The longer he looks the more di.-tlnct it becomes, until after awhile he cries out. ", star, a morning si r. a ptar of comfort, a star of grurv. a star of peace, the star of the lideenier!" P-.ce for all tremble. Italm for all fc-uunui. Lifv- fvr ail dead. Now Jesus,

the great Heart Healer, comes Into our honw. Peace peace that passeth all understanding. "NVe look up through our tears. We are cr.inforted. It Is the morning tUar of the Itedeemer. "Who broke off that flower?" said one servant In the garden to another. "Who broke off that flower?" and the other Hervant paid, "The master." Nothing more was said, for If the master had not a right to break off a flower to wear over his heart or to net in the vase In the mansion, who has a right to touch the flower? And when Christ comes down into our garden to gather Hilles hall we fight Him back? Shall we talk as though He had no right to come? If any one In all the universe has a right to that which Is beautiful In our homes, then our Master has. and lie will take it, and He will wear it over His heart, or He will set it 111 the vase of the palace eternal. "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." I'eace. troubled soul! 1 put the balm on your wounded heart tonight. The morning star the morning star of the Redeemer. A (elritlul Ilghf. Again, Christ heralds the dawn of millennial glory. It is night in China, night in India, night In Siberia, r.ight for the vast majority of the world's population. But it seems to me there are some intimations of the morning. All Spain is to be brought under the Influence of the gospel. What is that light I see breaking over tin top of the Pyrenees? Tho morning. Yea, all Italy shall receive the gospel. She thall have her schools, and her colleges, and her churches. Her vast population shall surrender themselves to Christ. What Is that light I see breaking over the top of the Alps? The morning. All India shall come to (Jed. Her id' ls shall te cast down. Her Juggernauts shall be broken. Her temples of Iniquity shall be demolished. What is that light I see breaking over the ton of the Himalajas? The morning. The empurpled clouds shall gild the path of the conquering day. The Hottentot will come out of his lmid hovel P look at the dawn; the Chinaman will tome up un the granite cliffs; the Norwegian will get up on lite rocks, and all the beat h of heaven will be crowded with celestial inhabitants come out to see the sun rise over the ocean of the world's agony They shall come from the cast and from the west, from tlv north and from the south, and sit down in the kingdom of Pod. These sweltered under tropical suns. These shivered under Icelandic temperature. These pljc'ed the vineyards in Italy. These j a: -kt d the tea boxes in China. These wer.- aborigines lifting up their dusky faces in the dawn. And the wind shall waft it. and every mountain shall beeome a transtigurat ion, and the sea will become the walking place of him who trod the wave cliffs of stormy Tiberias, and tin- song of joy shall rise toward heaven, and the great sky will become a sounding board which shall strike back the shout of salvation to the earth tint it it relM.nn'ls again lo the? throne of the Almighty, and the morning star of Christian hope will hecome the full sunburst of millennial gl"ry. Again. Christ heralds th dawn of heaven Uwn every Chtistian's dying pillow. I suppose you have potiied that th characteristics of peopl. in their healthy days are very apt to le their characteristics in their dying day. The dying words of ambitious Napole.ii were. "Head of the army." The dying words of poetic Lord Myron were, "I must sleep now." The ding words of affectionate I.rd .Nelson were, "Kiss m. Hardy." The dying words of Voltaire were, as he saw o.ie whom lie supposed to be Jesus in the room. "Crush that wretch." Hut I have noticed that the dying words of Christians always mean peace. Cenerally lie pain is all gom and there is gr-at quietude through the room. As one of these brothers told me of his mother in the last moment: "She looked up and said, pointing to some supernatural lein:; that Seemed tO be n thi- footn, 'Look at that bright form. Why, they have come for me now.' " The lattice is turned so that tl:e light Is very pleasant. It is p- ace all around. You ask yourself: "Why. can this ! a dying room? It is so different from anything I ever expected." And you walk the floor, and you look out of th: window, and you come back and 1 k at your watch, and you look at thft face of the patient again, and there i.-i no change, except that the face is becoming more radiant, more illuminat"d. The wave of death seems coming up higher ami higher until It has torn he.! the ankle; then it mmcs t"i up until it touches the knee, and then it comes on up until It reaches the girdle, and then it comes on up until it reaches the and the soul is about to te floate,) away into glory, and you roll back th patient's sleve, and you put your lintrer on the pulse, and it is g-tting weaker and weaker, and the pulse stops, and you hardly know whether the life his gone out or not. Indeed y n cannot t 11 when she g"os away, she goes away so

c almly. Perhaps it is 4 o lock in the morning, and you have the 1 around to the window, and d Wheeled the dying one looks out into th - nicht sky, she sees something that attracts In and r jitis. tention, and you wonder what it An V.ye on the Mar. Why, it Is a star. It is a star that out of Its silver rim is pouring a supernatural light Into that dying experience, j And you say, "What is it that you are looking at?" She says, "It is a star." j You say. "What star is it that seems j so wen to please you; on she says, "that is the morning star Jesus!" I would like to have my deathlx-d under that evangelistic star I would like to have my eye on that star, so I could be assured of the morning. Then the dash of the surf of the sea of death would only tie the bl'lowing up of the promise, "When thou passest through the water. I will be with thee, and the rivers, they shall not overflow thee." All other lights will fail the light that falls from' the scroll of fame, the light that fla-hes from the gem in the beautiful apparel, the light that flames from the burning la in (is of a banquet but this light burna on and burns on. I'aul kept his eyes on that morning star until he could say: "I am nowready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the Rood flght. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." Kdward Pay son kept his eye on that star until he could say, "The breezes of heaven fan me." Dr. Coodwin kept his eye ov, that evangelistic star until he could say. "I am swallowed up in God." John Tennar.t kept his eye on that evangelistic star until he could say: "Welcome, sweet Lord Jesus welcome eternity." No other star ever pointed a mariner Into so safe a harbor. No other star ever sank its silvered anchor Into the waters. No other star ever pierced such accumulated cloud or beckoned with such a holy luster. With lanterns and torches and a guide we went down In the Mammoth cave of Kentucky. You may walk fourteen miles and see no sunlight. It is a stupendous place. Some places the roof of the cave is 100 feet high. The grottoes filled with weird echoes; cascades falling from Invisible high to invisible depth. Stalagmite rising up from the floor of the cave; stalactites descending from the roof of the cave. Joining each other and making pillars of the Almighty's sculpturing. These are rosettes of amethyst in halls of gypsum. As the guide carries his lantern ahead of you the shadows have an appearance supernatural and spectral. The darkness Is fearful. Two ropl-. getting lost from their guide only for a few hours years ago, were demented and for years sat in their tnxanity. You feel like holding your breath as you walk across the bridges that seem to span the bottomh-ss abyss. The guide throws hla calcium light down Into ;he caverns, and the light rolls and tosses from rock to rock and from depth to depth, making at every plunge a new revelation of the awful power that coull hav-e made such a place as that. A sense

of suffocation comes upon you as you think that you are 200 feet In a straight line from the sunlit eurfse of the earth. The guide affer awhile taken you into what Is called the 'Star Chamber." and then he says to you, "Sit here," and then he takes the lantern and goes down under the rocks, and It gets darker and darker until the night Is so thick that the hand an Inch from th eye is unobservabh. And then, by kindling one of the lanterns and placing It in a cleft In the rocks, there Is a reflection cast on the dome of the cave, and there are stars coming out In constellations a brilliant night heaven and you involuntarily exclaim: "P.eautiful! Heautifui:" Then he takes the lantern down In other depths of the cavern, and wanders on, and wanders off, until he comes up from behind the rocks gradually, and it seems like the dawn of the morning, and it gets brlj-hter and brighter. The guide is a skilled" ventriloquist, and he imitates the voices f the morning, and soon the gloom is all gone, and you stand congratulating yourself over the wonderful spectacle. The Divine (.nlde. Well, there are a great many people who look down Into the grave as a great cavern. They think it Is a thousand miles subterraneous, and all the echoes soem to be the voices of despair, and the cascades seem to be the falling tears that alwas fall, ami the gloom of earth seems coming up In stalagmite, and the gloom of the eternal world seems descending in the stalactite, making pillars of indescribable horror. The grave is no such place us that t. me, thank (Jod. Our divine guide takes rs down Into the great caverns, and we have the lamp to cmr feet anil the light in outpath, and all the echoes in the rifts of the rock are anthems, and all the falling waters are fountains of salvation, and after awhile we look up and beholdthe cavern of the tomb has become a king's chamber! And while we are looking at the pomp of it an everlasting morning begins to rise, and all the tears of each crystalize into stalagmite, rising up in a pillar n the one side, and all the glories of heaven seem to be descending In stalactite, making a pillar on the other side, and you push against the gate that swings betwten the two pillars, and as the gate flashes open you find it is one of the twelve- gates which are twelve pearls, r.ks.st d U' Cod that through this gospel the mammoth cave of the scpulcher has become the illumined star chamber of the king! r would Ood that if my sermon today does not had you to Christ that liefere morning, looking out of the window, the astronomy of the night heavens might lead you to the feet of Jesus. Hark, bark! To Cod the chorus breaks From every host, from every gem; I5.it one. alone, the Savior speaks Is the Siar of Methlehem.

"Tel! me." said 1!.. "do you ever see any thermometers about here?" "Well, now, your honor, if there was a idee frost the place would I'-- alive with th"tn." Many years afterward, as I drove with my wife from Killarney to Kenmare, I told her this story. She said she could baldly believe lt. I said. "I'll try with this boy. and you'll see he'll say much the same." So I said to the bare-legged boy who was running along beside the carriage. "What Is the nam' of the little liver near us? Tis the Kinn, your honor." "Are there not many fish in it?" "There is. your honor." "What sort of fish. ."' "Tiefe do be throuts and eels, your honor." "Any salmon?'' "There do be an odd one." "Any white trout?" "There do !..- a good lot of them." "Any thermonif ters?" "Them does be there, too, your honor, but they conies up later in the season than the white thror.ts." Seventy Years of Irish Life. The Stmtv Shed of tlie 1 iiiou l'n cl lie. With two and sometimes three engines our heavy train, now divided into two s-'cti ris climbed un the hjgh wall of the Sierra. Nevada. We passed through the maiMiUh-ent scenery of Shady run, I'.lue canyon and Ciant and Emigrant gaps. In running 17 miles we had climbed nearly T.enO feet, soinetims over very steep graues. lief or-? we reached the summit snow shed'-, began to appear and soon became practically continuous. It was the month of May and the mountains were still- covered deep with snow'. We rode through forty miles of this? wooden tunnels, from whose windows we could now and then catch glaiK t s of wild wastes of snow-covered mountains and at other times of forests of pine and fir trees. Without these f-heds it Would be impossible to operate the road in winter. They are built In the most thorough manner often upon solid foundations of masonry and are separated by iron plates into sections to guard against the spread of fire. There are automatic electric fire alarms in ope of the longest sheds and an eriirine with a tank close at hand is kept ready to flood any section that should catch lire. The sheds are patrolled and guarded in a careful manner. Such attention is due not only to the passenger and freight trallie which the road conducts, but to the value of the sheds', which average from JS. 00') to SllOnO per mile. Several miles, where bridges and precipices made the construction difficult, cost as much as $o',U'") per mile. Observer. A AVliislllnar WomniCn Work. People who imagine that Mrs. Alice Shaw, the whistler, has made her reputation and her money simply by exercising a power that any .mall boy walking Along a country road indulges are mistaken. She ha practiced from two to throe- hours every day since she begin her whistling career, and she maintains that it is as much of a gift to whistle as It is to paint or to write or to sing. "First," she say?, "one must have his whistle. Next, he must possess an absolute correct ear. The least fluctuation or deviation from harmony creates a worse discord in whistling than in almost any other form of melody, but, starting with the lung power, the correct car and the whistling ability, patience and ceaseless practice will make a good whistler."
