Dr. Talmage discussed u subj<jft wibteh iy,vfy apec-ia l in t e rest do ts «nSo y ; and. scholars the Jirespnuimie, Jjuirn;, with tlfe-' M-iahumc# nWr < Mount Gilbou. Judges vii., 20, 2l: “And the Three companies blew ?the truttTl'FTS, had brake-then pitchers, And hcid t lio lamps in'tlit*i¥4eft hands and the trumpets, pu jthfffr fisfil. hands to blow withal. And, stood., ev)sU*y man in his place round about the camp, and all the host ran add cried and -a -0.1 - * tied. That is the strangest battle ever fought. , , God had told Gideon to go down and ' thrash the. MidiauitesTbrtf his 'array is too large; for the glory must be given to God and not to man.. And so proclarua- ' tion is made that all those.of. the troops ;\vho are cowardly and want to go home may go, and 22,(XX) of then! whimpered away, leaving only 10,000 men.; But God says the army, is too large yet, and so lie orders these 10,000 remaining to march .'down through a stream and commands Gideon to notice in what manner these men drink of the water as they pass through it. If they get down.on all fours and drink, then they are td be pronounced lazy and incompetent for the campaign, but if, in passing through the. stream, they scoop up the water jn the palm of their hand and drink and pnss on, they are to be the men selected for the battle. Well, the 10,000 men marched down in the stream, and the niOst of them conic down on all fours and plunge their mouths, like a horse or an ox, riuto the water and drink, but there sire 300 men who, Instead of stooping, just dip the palm of their hands in the water aiid bring it to their lips, “lapping it as a dog lappeth.” Those 300 brisk, rapid, enthusiastic men are chosen for the campaign. They are each to take a trumpet in the -right lmiKkaiid ft piteheF m-the left hand and a lamp inside the pitcher, and then, at a given signal they are to blow the trumpets and throw down the pitchers and hold up the lamps. So St was dome. The Bout of the Midianites. It is night. I see a great host of Jjidinnites sound asleep in the valley of Jex- _ reel. Giddon comes up with his 300 picked men, and when everything is ready the signal is given, and they blow the trumpets, and they throw down the pitchers and hold up the lamps, and the great ! liost of Midinnites, waking out of a sound steep, take the crash of the crockery and the glare of the letups for the coming on of an overwhejijiipg foe, aigd they run and cut themselves t,o pie'egs 'and 1 horribly perish.

They said; “We got rid: of all that fighting, did jve ,not? How lucky we have been/ That battleeosts us 'nothing at all.” But they got none of the spoijs of the victory. After-the battle the 000 men went down and took the wealth of the Midinnites, hud out of the cups and plotters of their enemies they feasted. And the time will come, my dear brethren, when the hosts of darkness will be routed and Christ will say to his troops: “Well done, my brave men. Go up and take the spoils. Be more than conquerors forever. f ” And in that day all deserters will be shot. Again, I learn from this subject that God’s way is different from man’s, but is always the best way. If we had the planning of that battle, we would have taken those 32,000 men that originally belonged to the army, and we would have drilled them and marched them, up and down by the day and week: and, month, and we would have had them equipped with swords or spears, according to the way of arming in those times, and then we would have marched them down in solid column upon the foe. But that is not the way. God depletes the army, and tabes away all their weapons, and gives them a lamp, and a pitcher, and a trumpet, nud tells them to go down and drive out the Midianites. I suppose some wiseacres were there who said: “That is not military tactics. The idea of. 300. men, unarmed, conquering such a great host of Midianites!” It was the' best way. Wlmt sword, spear or cannon ever .accomplished shell a victory aslthe lamp, pitcher and trumpet? God’B Way the Best. God's way is different from manhs, way, but it i« always best!

Compkring the 1595 year’s Imports, duriiig which the Gorman tariff was in force, for ten months, with the fall twelve months’ imports of 1892 and, 1893, it Is seen that the Gorman tariff imports are in some cases larger than those for 189:(!, and in other instances larger than the imports for 1893, and sometimes greater than the figures given for both of these two McKinley protection years. When . considering the effect of the present lower tariff, it should be remeighered that in 189 S apii earb’ in li5Q3 the bulk of tfie people wePe far more- prosperous than they are to-day and consequently teepe, better able to, pay for the luxury of for-: elgn goods.- the lo\ver tbrlfif permits the* larger quantities of iinports at such low prices as enable keen com- , petition with dttf' own manufacturers ana interference with their Jnisiness lg our home market, the people not being able to afford to purchase so many articles of voluntary use apd luxury aa tkey pld ln 18p2 ; apd 1893.
