Id a recent Sabbath sermon at the limokljrn Tabernacle U-jt. T.. DuWUt Talmagc preached (rout the (oltowing text:

Who maketh the clouds His ctnsrtot—Psalms, civ.. 1 Brutes are constructed so as to took down. Those earthly creatures that have wings, when they, rise from the earth, stilt look down, and the eagle searches for mice in tl-e grass, and the raven for carcasses in th > Held. Man alone is made to look u ik To induce him to look .up tlod rnahes the skies a picture gallery, a Duss'ldorf, a Louvre, a Luxembourg, a V'.tican that eclipsesjail tliat Oeratan or French or Italian art ever accomplished. But Uod has failed so far to attract tha attention of most of us by the scenery ef the sky. We go into raptures over flowers in the soil, but. have little or no appreciation o{ tha '‘morning glories” that bloom ou the wall of the sky at snarlse or the dahlias in the clouds at su use t, We are in ecstnclos over a gobelin tapestry, or a brhlul vail of rare fabric, or a snow, bank of exquisite curve, but see not at nil, or sec without emotion, the brijjal vails of mist that cover the face of the Catskills, or the swaying Upholstery1 around the couch of the dying day, or the snow-batiks of vapor piled up in the heavens. My text bids us lift our chin three or four incites and open the two telescopes which, under the forehead, nre put on swivel easily turned Upward, and see that the clouds are not merely uninteresting signs of wet or dry weather, but that they are embroidered Canopies of shade; that they are the Conservatories of the ekyt that they nre thrones of pomp; that they urc cryataline bars; that they are pointings iu water color; that they are the an* gels of tbs mist; that they are great cathedrals of light, with broad aisles for angelic feet to walk through aud bow. at - altars of amber and alabaster; that they ure mothers of the dew; that they are ladders for ascending and descending glories, Cotopnxis of belching flame. Niagaras of color; that they are the masterpieces of the Lord Uod Almighty. The clouds are a favorite Bible simile,' uuddhe saore l writers have made much Use of them. After the deluge tlojl huug on a cloud in concentric bands the colors of the ■pc. drum. "tyring: “l do not set may how to the cloud.” As n mountain is sometimes eutirely hidden by Hie vapors so, , «ays Uml, *-| have blotted out a thick cloud, thy transgressions.” David measures the Divine goodness, and found it so high he apostrophised: “Thy faithfulness reached Into the clouds.” As sometimes there are thousands of (locos of vapor scurrying across the heave ns, so, says 1 -aiah, will bo the converts In tno millennium “as clouds and ns doves." As tu the wot season, uo sooner does the sky clear than there comes another c been ration, so, says Solomon, one ache or ailment of old folks has uo more than gone V.ian another pain comes "as clouds ret'iru iu the rain.” A column of Illumined cloud led the Israelltes across the <Sild'.-ruess. In the Book of J,.b, Kliliu, Watt fling the clouds, could not understand why they did not fall, br why they did uot4ll roll together, the laws of evaporation and condensation then not lieing understood, and he cried out: “Dost Thou know Jhe balancing of the clouds*” When I read my text it suggests to me that the clouds are the Creator’s etjUitugc, and their whirling masses are the.wheel*, .-u l the tongue of the cloud is the pi's of Uio celestial vehicle, and the winds are the harnessed f steels, and (Sod is tic royal occu;iauf aud driver “who ih,sketU the clouds llis chariot.” To understand the Psalmist's meaning iu the text you must know that the chariot of old was sometimes a sculptured brilliancy ma le out of ivory, sometime* of solid sliver, au.l rolled on two wheels which were fastened to.the aiie fly stout plus aud the awful defeat of (Kuonaua by l*elops was caused by the fact that a traitorous charioteer had inserted n llnch-pin of wax instead of a linrh-pin of iron. All of the six hundred chariots of I’harn. h lost their liuch-pihs hi the lle.1 Sea, for the Bible says: “The Lord took off ibeir wheels. ” Look at the long flash of Solomon** fourteen lmudrcd chariots, and th > thirty - thousand chariot* of the Philistine*. It you have ever visit* 1 the buildings where n King or Qdeeh keeps the coaches of staMk'ai 1 have, you kuow that lCiugs and y-iwns have great varieties of turnout The keeper tells you: This Is the state carriage, and used only on great occasions.” “This ia the coronation carriage, and in It the King rode oa ths day he took the throue.” “In this the gueen went to open Parliament.” “This is the coach iu which the Ciar aud the Sultan rode ou the occasion of their visit."

Do you know that the clouds nr* among the most wonderous aud majestic things in the whole uulTersef Do - yon know that they are flying lakes and river* and oceans? God waved His hand over them and said: "Come up higher!’» and they obeyed the mandate.- The’ cloud, instead of being, as it seems, a small gatheringof vapor a few yard* wide J «nd high, is really seven or eight mile* across, ami is nmountain from its base to iis top fifteen thousand feet, eighteen thousand feet, tw only thousand feet, and cut through with ravines five thousand feet deep. No. David did not make a fragile oruuworthy representation of God tn the text whenhe spokeof the clouds as His chariot Mu . as 1 suggested in the case of unearthly King,He has His morning cloud chariot aud His evening cloud chariot—the cloud chariot in which He rode down to Sisal to open the law, and the cloud chariot iu which He rode down to Tsbor to honor the Gospel, and the cloud chariot in which He w ill come to judgment \Vh-s He rides out in Hts morning chariot at this season, about 6 o’clock. He puts golden coronet* on the dome of cilice, and silvers the rivers, and out of the dew makes a diamond ring for the Unger of every grass blade, and bids good cheer to invalids who. Ih the night, said: “Would God it were morning.”. From this morning cloud chariot He distributes light; light for the earth and light for the heavens; light for the land and light for the sea; great ban of It. great wreathes of it, great columns of It, a world full Of . it Hail Him ia worship as every morning He drives out in HU chariot »f morning cloud, and cry with David: “My voice shall Thou hear in the morning. In the li; morning will I direct my prayer unto Tbee and look up” I rejoice in these Scripture ejaculations: “Joy, cometh tn the morning,’* "My soul wnitheth for Thee more than they that watch for the morning,” “If 1 take the wing of the morning." ‘The. eyelids of the morning," ‘The morning cometh,” “Who ia she that looketh forth as the morning,” “HU going forth is prepared a* the morning." “As the morning spread oa the mountains,” ’That thou shouldst evert morning" What a thing the Kin* throws from 1 when m throw* «« the sSSS

But tho Bible toll* ns that our King also has « black chariot “Clouds and darkness.'* we are told, “are round abont Him.” That chariot is cloven <*f night, and that night is troubTlt—AVhen He rides forth in that black cUayrot pestilenco and earthquake and famine and hurricane and woe attend Him. Then 16t the earth tremble. Then let nations pray. Again and again He has ridden forth in that chat lot of black clouds, across Rutland and Prance and Italy and Russia and America and over ail nations. Thst ighich men took for the sound of cannonading at Sebastopol, at K ib*ii, at ti -ttjrsburg, at Tel-rl-Keblf, al Banker Hill.. were only the rumblings of 'he black chariot of tho Almighty, Aye, it is the chariot of stormcloud arttied with thunderbolts, aud neither man ntir angel nor d-vll nor earth nor hell nor Heaven can resist Him.

Yet a child ted years old has been known to reach up, ami with the hand of prayer take the courser of that chariot by the bit and slow it up, or stop it, or turn it aside, >r turn it back. The hoy Samuel stopped it. Riijah stopped it. Hezekiah stopped it. model stopped ft. Joshua stopped it Esther stopped it. Ruth stopped it Hannah stopped it. Mary stopped it My nlhi-r stopoed it My mother stopped tt. My sister stopped] it. We have in our Sabbath-schools children who again, and again, and again have stopped it Notice that these old-time chariots, which my text uses for tyuibol, bad what we would call a high dash-board-at the front, but were open behind. And the King would stand at the dash-board and drive with his'-.own hands. And 1 ago glad that lie whose chariots the clouds are drives Himself, lie doe* not let natural law dnvtt, for natural law is deaf.' He Joes not let fate drive, for fate is merciless. but our Father-King drives Himself, and lie puts HU loving hand on the reins of the flying coursers, and He has a loving'oar open to the cry of ail who want to catch His attention. Oh, I am so glad that uiy Father drives, and never drives too fasl, and never drives too slow, and never drives off tho precipice,, and that lie controls by a hit that never breaks, the wildest aud most raging circumstances.

I heard of a ship captain wh3 pot out with his vessel, with a large number of passengers, from Buffalo, on Lake Erie, Very curly in the season, and while there w< s cinch ica. When they were well out the captai.i saw, to his horror, that the ice was closing in «ru him from all aides, and he saw no way out from destruction and death. Ue called into the cabin the passengers and all the crew that conld bo spared from their posts, and told them that the ship must lie lost unless God interposod, and although he was not a Christ ian man he' said “Let ns pray,"’ and they all knelt, asking ti^d to come for their deliverance. They went back to the deck, and the man at the wheel shouted: “Alt right, cap’u; it's blowing noir* by nor’wost now."' While the prayer was going on in the cabin the wind changed, and blew the ice out of the way. The mate asked: "Shall I put on more sail, cap’nf" “No!" responded the captain. “Don’t touch her. Some one else ia managing this ship."’ Oh, men and women, shnt In on nil sides by icy troubles and misfortunes, in earnest prayer put all.your affairs In the hands of God. You will come oat all right Borne one else Is managing the ship! It did not merely happen so that when Leyden was besieged, and the Duke at AJ rs felt sure of his triumph, suddenly the wind turned, a*d the swollen waters compelled him to stop the siege,and the city ires saved. God that night drove along the emt of The Netherlands in n black chariot of storm -cloud. It did not merely happen so that Luther rose from the where he was sitting just in time llo keep from being crushed from n stone that the instant after fell on the very Undhen *~ ' ' ^ ' *

Yea. He drives very near. I know that many of the clouds that you see In summer are faf off, the Bases b! some bl them five miles above the earth. High oh the highest peaks of the Andes travelers have seed clouds far higher than "here they were standing, Guy Lussac. after he had risen la a balloon twenty-three thousand foot stiftv saw clouds above him. Bat there arc clouds that touch the earth and discharge thoir rain, and, though the clouds out of which God’s chariot is made may sometimes be far away, often they are clone by, and they touch our shoulders, and they touch onr homes, and they touch 'is alt over. 1 have read of two rides that the Lord took in two different chariots of clouds, and of another that He will talie. One day, in a chariot of clouds that wi re a mingling of fog and smoke nndflr*, God drovj down to the top Of a terrible crag fifteen hundred feet high, not# Called Jebel-Musa, then called Mount Sinai, mil He stepped out of His chariot among the split shelrlngs of rock. The meant tin shook ns with an ague, and there vrere teu volleys of thunder, each of tlie tec emphasizing a tremendous “Thou -halt” or “Thou shall not” Then the Lord resumed His chariot of cloud and drove ip the hills of Heaven. They were dark nnd portentous clouds that made that chariot at the givtug of the law. Hut one day He took another ride, and tints time down to Mount Taborj the cloud* out of which His chariot was made, bright clouds, roseate clouds, illumined clouds, and innsie rained from all of j them, and the musio was a mingling of j enrol nnd chant and triumphal march! j “This is My beloved Sm, in whom 1 am ' well j leased.” Transfiguration chariot, j ‘•Oh ” sav hundreds of you, “1 wish I { could iiave seen those chariots—the black j one that brought tlie Lord to Jebel-Musa nt the giving of the law, and the white ; one that brought Him down to Tabor.” HNevi-r mind, you will see something grander than that, and it will be a mightier mingling of the somber and the radiant, and the pomp of it will be such that the chariots in which Trajau, and Diocletian, nnd Xenobia, and Caesar, and Alexander nnd-all the conquerors of all the s.gcs role will be unworthy of mention:' and what stirs me the most is that when He comes in that chariot of eland and goes l ack He will ask you and me to ride with Him both ways. How do I know that the judgment, chariot will be made of cloud! f It,-hold He comcth with clouds.—Revelation, t. ' Oil, lie will not then ride through the heavens alone as Ho does now. He is going lb tiring along with Him an escortof ten full regiments. Inspiration says: •11-hold the Lord cometh with -ten thousand of His saints.” But these figures simply me m that there will be a great throug. And" as we shall probably, throngh the atonement of Christ, be in Heave u before that. I hope that wo ran come down in that escort of chariots. Christ In the center chariot, but chariots before Him to clear the way, and chariots*'beliiud Hint, and chariots on either side of 111m. Perhaps the prophets and patriarchs of the old dispensation may ride ahead, each one charioted—Abraham and Moses, and Eaeklsl and David, and Joshua, who foretold Pis first coming. On either side of the central chariot apostles and martyrs who, in the same or approximate centuries, suffered for Him—Paul.Stephen and Ignat usand Polyoar p and Justin Martyr, and multitude, who went up in chariot of fire, now coming In cbiriot of clond, while in the tear of the eeutral chariot shall be the multitudes of later days, and of oi r own time, who have tried to serve the L>rd, ourselves, 1 hope, among them. “Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand sf His saints.” Yet j although all unworthy M such companionship we want to come with. Him on that day to see the last of this old work! which was once our residence. Coming through the skies myriads of chariots rolling on and rolling down. By that ilme liow changed this world will be. Its deserts all flowers, its rocks all mossed and licheneil, its poor-houses all palsies, its sorrows all joys, its sins all virtues, and In the same pasture-field lion and calf, and oa the same perch bawl and dove. Now the chariots of cloud strike the earth, filling all the valleys, and covering all the mountain sides and Halting in all the cemeteries and grav» yards an l over the waters deep wheie the dead sleep in coral gusA lout blast of tho resurrection trumpet It given and the bodies ot the dead rise and join the spirits from which they hav« long been separated. Then Christ, our Sing, rising in tho center chariot of cloul. with His scarred hands waves the signal, and the chariots wheel and come into line for glorious ascent. Drive-on! ltrite up! Chariots of clond ahead of the Kin f, chariots of cloud on either side of the IClug. chariots of clou Is fallowing the Kin;. Upward and apsst starry hosts and through immensities, and across infinitudes, higher, higher, higher, unto the gates, the shining gates. Lift up yonr heads ye everlasting gates, for Him who maletti the clou Is His chariot, and who, through condescending and uplifting grace, invites us to meant and ride with Him!

STRIKE A BALANCE. Umi to Overcome the I>eel re to Bo Onesided u4 Intratelal. Hey no. who was not only a great scholar but a great sufferer, adopted an extremely ecu mend able plan. When in trial he used toirrite down ou a paper, first, hit various sorrows, and then his source! of con. soli.lion. Having done this he “struck the balance ” and it always sat ..fled him. We should be all the better for the adoption of a similar course; don’t you think so, my friend I Outside churches, monasteries and cathedrals there are faces— faces of serene angels, brave martyrs, puie saints, innocent maidens, carved in stone by the cunning band of the sculptor, lie re and there vre behold tho leas attractive countenances of demons, fiends sad satyrs leering at or scowling upon ns, but the former invariably exceed the latter.

Letter from the Ex-Sheriff of Chautauqua County, New York. Matti'u e, N.

PRICKLY ASH BITTERS One ol the most important organs of the human body is the LIVER. When it fails to properly perform its functions the entire system becomes deranged. The BRAIN. KIDNEYS, STOMACH, BOWELS, ail refuse to perform their work. DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY DISEASE. etc., are tho results, unless something is done to assisj Nature in throwing off the impurities caused by inaction of a TORPID LIVER. This assistance so necessary will be found in Prickly Ash Bitters! It acts directly on the LIVER, STOMACH and KIDNEYS, and by its mild und cathartic effect and general tonic qualities restores these organs to a sound, healthy condition, and cures all diseases arising from these causes. It PURIFIES THE BLOOD, tones up the system, and restores perfect health. II your druggist does not keep it ask him to order it for you. Send 2c stamp ter copy of “THE HORSE TRAINER.” published by us.
