Do you know that BtUart, the' elebrated painter, did much of hia womb rful work under the shadow of tha dtingon, where he had bean majestly imprisons* for debt! Do you know that Demosthene , by almost superhuman exertion, (HI had to conquer the lisp of bis «Wtt spe ch before be conquered assemblages wttf his eloquence! Do you know that ha on struggled ail through innumerable s cknetsla and that Lord Byron and B> Waiter 8cott went limping on cinbfoc through , aU their life, and that many of the great / poets and rqgnteys and unitor t and historians and heroes of the world ad some* thing to keep theta hack, and mil them down, ami impede their way, k ,,d cripple their physical or their Intellect ml movement, and yet that they pusfaei on and pushed up until they reached tb ) spoils of worldly success, and amid the hussa of nations and centuries "tha lams took tha prey!" ''fan know that a vast multitan a of these men started under the disad' inlage of obscure parentage. Columbus, the son of the weaver. Ferguson, the astronomer, tha son of the shepherd. America the prey of the onet world* oa 'rorlds the prey of the other. But what Is true In , 'secular directions is more be la spiritual and religions directions, »ud I proceed to prove tu . There me in all eommnnilir mailt in- ■ valid*. They never know a veil day. They adhere to their Occuftalons, but they go panting along the si wU with exhaustions, and at eventtme they lie down on the lounge with acklm fi beyond all medicament. They have tried all prescriptions: they have goae » ,rough all the cures which were proclaimed infallible, and they have come u“W to aurrender to perpetual ailments, 'they conaider they are among many lisad vantages, and when they see thoa' who are buoyant in health po»« by they almost envy their robust frame* and ecay respiration. ButThavs noticed among Ihol Invalid class those who have the greatest knowledge of the Bible, who are in tsaiwt intimacy with Jesus Christ, whe have the moat glowing experience* of The truth. Who hare had the moat remarkable answer*", prayer, and who hav the moat exhUarant Anticipations of Her ten. The temptations which weary us who are In robust health thgg have conquered. They have divided amoag them the spoil* of thq conquest. Many who are alert and athletic and swarthy loiter la the Way. The#* ar* the lame that take the prey. Robert Rail an invalid. Kdwari Faysou an invalid, Richard Baxter ar Invalid, Samuel Rutherford an inval d. Thia morning when you want to ca l to mind those who are most Christ-like, you think of some darkened room in you- father’* bouse from which there went forth an in ■nence potent for eternity. A step further: Through rat ed letters the art of printing has been l-~oughl to the attention of the blind. You take up the Bible for tha blind and you dose your eye* and you rur your huger over the raised letters, and you sayl “Why, I never could get any in ’ormatlon la this way. What a alow, lum irous way of reading: God help tha blind,*• And yet I ftnd among that clrss of persons, among the blind, the dea! and the dumb, the most thorough acquaintance with God’s word. Shut out fron nil other source* of information, no sooner doe* their hand touch tha raisod ' etter than they gather u prayer. Without eyes, they look o* upon kb* kingdoms of Cod’s love. Without bearing, they catch the min•tr«Uy of thf skir«. Dumb, fef with pen* rtl or with IrriditM counter mace they declare the glonr of God. *vA large audience assemble* in Hew York at the anniversary of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and one of visitors with chalk oa the blackboard note this question to the pupils: “Do you not Bud it very hard to be deaf and dumb!” And one of the pnpils took tha chalk and wrote on the blackboard this sublime sentence in anawor-i "When the song of the anyels shall burst upon our enraptured an", we wil 1 scare* regret that our ears were never tuarred with earthly sounds.1* BOh. the brightest eyes in Hea-en will be thoau that never saw on earth. The ears moat alert in Henven will be those that in this world heard neither voice of friend, nor thrum of harp, nor carol of bird, nor doxologyjsf congregations. A lad who had been blind fron infancy tana cured. The oculist operated upon the *“d, and then put n very heavy bandage over the eyes, and after n few --reek* had gone by the bandage was removed, and •he mother said to her child: “Wlllla, can you see!” He said: » "Oh! mamma, is this Heaven'” Tha contrast between the darkness be

aaa the brightness afterward «h overwhelming. And I tall you 'be glories •f Heaven will beathonsaad-fcld brighter for thoee who never saw an;- thing on earth. While many with good vision closed their eyes In night, and many who had a good, artistic and css! ured ear want down Into discord, the* afflicted ones cried onto the Lord in thei- trouble, and He made their sorrows the ir advantage, and so "the.lame took the prey.” In the seventh cantary there was' a legend at St. Modobert. it was said that ■a blind, and one lay while looking at hie mother he felt so sympathetic for her blindness that is rnshsd fdia ■ a al mane the legend says bar vision can* immediately. That was only n legend, 'intit tea troth, a glorious trathjthat a Us of God’s eternal love has brought to mar y a blind' aye eternal illumination.

With his old crutch it lad tVfack down many a SenuWeheHb of temptation which had master ad you and me. Lame, so fearfully lame, so awfully lame* but he ttak the prey. A step farther! There are m all Communities many orphans. During our last war. and in the years immediately following, H»W many children we heard say: "Oft‘ my father was killed In the war.” Have you ever noticed—I fear }¥i have not—how well those children have turned out? Starting under the greatest disadvantage, nb orphan asylum could do for tLCm what their father would hare done had he lived. The skirmisher sat *u« night, by the light of fagots, lu the eWhihp, writing a letter home, when 4 sharpshooter's bullet tided the letter which Was never folded never posted and neTer read.

Those children cam* op end* r (rent disadvantage. IW hither to light their way fr*v Wm. Perhaps there was If the old family Bible an old yellow letter pasted fast, which told the story of that father's long march, and how he sttf • fered la the hospital; bat thee looked still farther on in the Bible, and they Oe the to the story of hoW God is the father of the fatherless, and the widow’s portion, and they soon took their father** place in that household. They battled the way for their mother. They came on up. and many of them hare in the years sipee $e War taken positions in Church and State. While munr of those who suffered nothing daring those times hare had sons gd oat Into lire- of indolence add vagabondage. these who started Udder so many disadvantages because they were so early bereft, these are the lame who took the prey. A step further: There are those who would like to do good. They say: ~*t>h! H I only had wealth, or if I had eloquence, or if I had high social position how much 1 would accomplish for ttod and the ChUrch.’» ! stand here to-day to tell you that you have great opportunities for usefulness. Who built the Pyramids; The King who ordered them bniltf So: the plain workmen who added Stone aftef stone and atone after stone Who ball! the dikes df Holland? The Government that ordered the enterprise; No: th# plain workmen who carried the earth and rang their trowel on the wall. Who are those who haV* built these vast cities; The capitalists? No; the carpenters, the masons, the plumbers, the plasterers, tile tinners, the roofers, dependent on a day’s wages for a UveLhood. And so in the great work of assuaging human suffering and enlightening human Ignorance and baiting human iniquity. In that great work, the chief part is to be done by ordinary manner, and by ordinary means. The trouble Is that in the army of Christ we all want to be Captains and Colonel" and brigadier-GeneraU. We are hoi willing to march with the tank and file and to do duty with the private soldier. We want to belong to the reserve corps, and read shoot the battle while warming ourselves at the camp-fires, or on furlough at home, oar feet upon an ottoma-, we sagging back into an arm-chair. As yon go down the street you me an excavation and four or five men are working, and perhaps twenty or thirty leaning on the rail looking over at them. That Is the way it is In the Church of God to-day. Where yon find one Christian hard at work there are fifty men watching the job. Oh, my friends! why do yon not go to work and preach this Gospel I Yott say i ‘1 h*ve no pulpit.M Yon have. It may be the carpenter’s bench: it may be the mason’s wall The robe in which you are to proclaim this Gospel may he a shoemaker’s apron. But woe onto yon if yon preach not this Gospel somewhere, somewhere. If this world is ever brought to Christ it will be through the unanimous and long-con tinned efforts at men who, waiting for no special endowment, consecrate to God what they have. Among the moat useless people in the world are men with fen talents, while many a one with only two talents, or no talent at all, is doing a great work, and so ’the lame take the prey.” There are thousands of ministers of whom * yon have t never heard—in log cabins nt the West, in mission chapels at the Bast—who are warring against the legions at darkness, successfully warring- Tract distributors, month by month undermining the citadels of sin. Yon do not know their going or their coming, but the footfalls of their ministry are heard in the palaces of Heaven, Who are the workers in our Babbath-schouls throughout this land to-day? Men celebrated, nmn brilliant, men of vast estate? Por the most part, not that at all. I have noticed that the chief characteristic of the most of those who are successful in the work is that they know their [Bibles, are earnest in prayer, are anxious for the salvation oT the young, and 8abbath by Sabbath are willing to sit down unobserved and toll of Christ and His resurrection. These ore the humble workers who are recruiting the great army of Christian youth—not hr might, not by power, not by profound argument, not by brilliant antithesis, bat by the blessings of God on plain talk, and humble story, and silent tear, and anxious look, “The lame take the prey." Oh! this work of saving the youth of our country—how few appreciate what it is! This generation tramping on to the grave—we will soon all be gone. What next?

And I tell yoti there is the same chance tor yon. That it one reason why I like to preach this 'Jospel, so free a Gospel, so tremendous a Gospel. It takes a mat all wrong, and makes him all right In a forme r settlement where 1 preached a member of my congregation quit the house of God, quit respectable circles, W«ut lute dll styles of sin. and wds, siiln Of his iniquity.

Yod see , 1 Could ntjl do otherwise. ‘‘Christ Jest s came to seek and save that which wps lost.” Christ in His dying prayer said: “Father, forgive them," and that wan a prayer for you and for me. Oh! start on the road to Heaven to-day. Yon are not; happy. The thirst of your soul will never be slaked by the fountains of sin. You turn everywhere bnt to God for helm Right where you are, call on film- He kntiws you, He knows all about you. He knows all the odds against which you have been contending in life. Do not go to Him with a long rigmarole of a prayer, bilt just look tiftwnd say: “Help! wip!" 7 V But you say: “My hand \ trembles so from my dissipations, I can’t even take hold of a hymn-book to sing.” Do not worry about that, mwbrother; I will give you a hymn at the Close so familiar you can sing it vrithout S, book. Bat you say: “I have such teynble habits on me, I can’t get riid of them.” My answer isr Almighty grace can break up that habit and will break it up. Bat you say; “The wrong I did was to one dead and in Heaven now, and 1 can’t correct that wrong." ? ! You can correct it. By the grace of God, go into the presence of that one, tad the apologies you ought to have mails on earth make in Heaven. •Oh}*' says some man, “if I shoqld try lb <k> right, if I should turn away from my evil doing unto the Lord, I would be jostled, I would be driven back, nobody would have any sympathy for me.” Yon are mistaken. Hete in the presence of the church on earth and in Heaven, I give yon to-day the right hand of Christian fellowship. God sent me here to-dar to preach this, and He sent you here to hear this) Let the *u k«4 fersake his ways, and the unrighteous mea bis thoughts, and let him return Unto the Lerth who will have mercy, and unit oUr Hod, whs wilt abundantly pardon. Though yjn may have been the worst sinner, you may become the best saint, and in the ([rent Day of Judgment it will be found that “where sin abounded, grace does much idore abound," tad while the spoils of as. everlasting kingdom are being awarded for yonr pursuit, it will be found that the lame took the prey. Blessed be God that we are, this Sabbath, one week nearer the obliteration of all the inequalities of this life and all its disquietudes. Years ago. on a boat on the North River, the pilot gave a very sharp ring to the belt tor the boat to slow up. The en- i gineer attended to the machinery, and then he raise np, with some alarm, on ■ deck to see what was the matter. He saw . it seas a moonlight night and there were no obstacles in the way. He went to the pilot and said) “Why did you ring the bell la that way? , Why do yen want to stop, there’s n othing the matter ►” And the pilot said to him: } “There in a mist gathering <m the river; don’t you see that* And there is night : gathering, darker and -darker, and I can’t see the way.” Then the engineer, looking around tad seeing it was a bright moonlight, looked , into the face of the pilot and saw that he ; was dying, and then that he eras dead. God grant that when our last moment comes sre may be found at our post doing our whble duty, and when the mists of the river of death gather ou our eyelids may the good pilot take the wheel from our bends and guide us into the calm harbor of eternal rest!

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION* Which Opens In Cincinnati Jilj A No event of the past decade has created as much interest in the whole country us the coming of the Centennial Exposition of the Ohio valley and Central States, which opens its doors in Cincinnati on the nation's birt hday (July 4), to continue for one hundred days and nights—a celebration in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the Northwest Territory. Unlimited means have been placed at the disposal of the managers by the enterprising business element of the Queen City, and nothing is being left undone that will conduce to the success of the undertaking. In stead of a local—as some suppose—It is a National event, made so tor the hearty cooperation oa the part of a dozen of the chief States in the 17 nion. snd the encouragement given It by the fact that “Oncle Bam” intends to make an exhibit of bis own of tli« treasures stored away to Washington City —an appropriation for the moving and Cairo which haj booh recommended by a Cougrossiooal Committee to whom the matter was referred. • Tike guarantee fond of one miHton and fifty thousand dollars, which the Board of Commissioners have at their command, hits enabled them to provide magnificent quarter* in which to display the mass of articles already offered, and these, in conjunction with the permanent building in which numerous Expositions on a smaller scale have been held, and which cost over one million dollars, will give to (Ms affair better facilities than were ever enjoyed by say thing rtf the kind ever held in this country, not excepting the famous Exposition to PfcUadclotpttog the famous Exposition i phtotolffiA Tfce urea of exhibiting spare of will be about >W\0Q0 square feet.
