MW. William Le Qieux Jeas off with " e expression o - opifn that a wide and difuse knowledge of the world is one of the first essentials to success in fiction. Lucas Malet is old-f sioned enough to believe that the riovelist is born, not made. while - jrs. W. K. Clifford is pretty much of the same opinion, and Elen Thorney croft Fowler epigrammatically re tnarks that writing is like firting, if you can't do it, nobody can teach you to do it. Mr. Gilbert Parker is of opinion that firtion writing can be learned but not taught, and Mr. E. F. Benson thinks that there are only two indis pensable gifts for a novelist-an eye for dramatic situation, and the power of putting down in plain English what he sees. Mr. W. W. Jacobs' contri; bution is characteristic.

NEW YO.K CITrY.-The folowpg SC - ar*zd readable sermon has been the ' v the popular pastor ist, th .r J Wilbur Cha n. The sub f-the discourse is "Tio hundred fain . men," and it was preached from text, "Two hundrcd abode behind, ich were so faint that they could not over the Brook Besor." I. SamuieLP: 10: In song respects we are ieminded in this storrf the celebrated char v of the Light Brigade, possibly because 're were 600 of David's soldiers. and perhaps be cause they fought valiantly and won a great victory. While the rank and file would not compete with the men who f'ught at Sebastapol or Inkerman, for they had been 'a discontented lot in their homes and in their service, yet there were some really great soldiers among them. and they wcre ready to die as were those 6)0 illustrious en ~ who made the gallant charge not many years ago. At the time of the text David was liv ing at Ziklag. ard he and his men had been away in battle. The battle has been waged. the victory has been won and they are homeward bound. They have camped for the last nieht. and to-morrow morning they will be with their loved ones. The or der is given to break camp and forward march, and when they came to the hill where before them they could iaturally see Ziklag the first man shAdes his eyes with his hands and looks. His face grows pale and he begins to shudder. for Ziklac: is in ashez, and as they come nearer their wives and children and all their property have been carried away. They are about to turn upon David and stone him. but when he agrees to go after the enemy they turn away frnm the ruins of their homes and start in hot piirsuit. They reach the Brook Besor, and then find that they have ia their company ren who are not able to n. some because chev are -old,. others bedause thy were cripnied, and still oth ers because they were~ ill. The number coinprised 200. Tn order that they might mou e more rapidly and battle iore sue ce-tfully all the beave trapimngs were left wvith the 200 at the Brook Besor, and 400 ren nursved the ene-nv. They overtake n Eiyptian. who is left by'the wgrysirle az ced a 1ead. and when they i--e him someo rofrefehments and promise him that V'e- will not let him fall into the hands Ie enemy. neither will they put him to ath themselves. he tells them the dire tion that the enemy has gore. and pur.u ing after them they come suddenly upon them. They have been intoxicated with their great 'sucess. and although the bat tle was fierce for a little while victory be aons to David and his men. Their wives al children are theirs once more: most anable treasure also is taken. and ther hnve turne'? their faces back to the Brook eser. Suddenly some one in the company egirs to talk of the distribution of the rininder. and they have about decided that tle 2aa faintin' men shall have nothing when David. with all the kingliness that it as nosibe for him to assume. declare, as his part is that goes out to the battle so ;hall his part be that tarries by the tu!rs. They shall share and share alike," and then he turned to the Brook Besor and saluted his men. Every old soldier and every weak man received as much of y d as if he had been in the front of h n im ssion abr adt .iiir~ thee given t thse -. have rendered con ieuous ser rie eat preachers. great philanthro p:sts. great martyrs. This is not so ac eording to the text: neither is it trune ac cording to the teaching of the Bible. Re rards are not given for the amournt of noise made in the world, nor for the amount of good which we are supposed to have done. but whether we have worked up to our full capacity. You doubtless remember Plato's fable of the spirits that returned to this world each to choose a body for its sphere of work. One took the body of a king, an other a poet. still another of a philosopher. and Ulysses came with great disappoint ment because all that was worth having was taken, when some one said the best is left. You may choose the body of a common man and do a common work and receive a common reward, and this he did. 1?. -Every man is called into the kingdom of God for a purpose. There is no .question about this. -Tust as in the making of a reat locomotive every piece must be ton structed by an expert and evety bit- of stork inust be marked with the name of the w'Jrkman, so that if the engine should eak in Jerusalem er China tlie failure -uld be traced to the p roper source. God expects every man to do his duty, and far every one in all the kingdom He has a plan of course. We are not all expected to erform the same mission. Paul has an lustration of this in First Corinthians, the 12th chapter. where he is describing the body where he says, ."Ye cannot say to the hiand, I have no need of thee, and if the body were an eye where were the hearing, etc.," but each performs its own mission, the uncomely parts receivmng the grgtest attention from the head. So enbry one of us has a work to do. If we leave it undone we shall be called to a strict ac count. There are two kinds of work illustrated in the story of these soldiers and the 200 fainting men. One kind is marching forth under the gaze and admiration of the mul titude, the other is just tarrying by the Brook Besor taking care of the stuff, and yet it has its reward. SHow often the field to which God calls us seems to us to be exceedingly small. The bu' ess man who has gone to his iee all this while, and goes through the round of common. tasks erom morning to night, fjm one week's end to another, year ii~d year out, chaffing of t times be cause lhe is doing so little and yet forget ting that he can be "not slothful in busi ness, fervent in spirit serving the Lord." and because he does complain . much is m~issing his oppertunity to de' hat p reacher never could do. The invalid up her cuc raked with pain and filled wif use her voice is never heard ~ie - gations of the people, w der e ever lived, and crying a" cause she has suffered so t y missing her opportm o the invalid.

It u find yourself in a discouraged positifn o as Paul ', make the best of it, for.we Nmiember u#t he said when he writes to the Philippians, "But I would ye should udestand, brethren, that the things rather unto the furtherance of zlne gospe so that :ny bonds in Christ a:e manifest i all the palace. and in all other places. Ph:liopians 1: 12-13. There are those wh sa- if I were only in a more enlarge spiere I would be brave'and true, but thi is not at all certain if you are not brav and true where you stand to-day.. "Just where thou art lift up thy voic , ind sing the song that stirs thy heart; Reach forth thy strong and eager hand To lift. to sa--e, just where thou art. t where thou standest light thy lamp _s'dark to otihs as to thee; - Th-eir ways ar i.hedged by unseen orns, Their burde' as thine fret thce. * nderi i broad, full glare y la c own might pale And thy swe ng amid the gcar ~n& any voices sl4wly fail; e these thy kindred wandered cea ~eered. unlighted, to the end.

First-Perhaps you are where you ar because you have not filled full.hat ps tion, and God will never call vou to higher place until you have overflowed where you are. urning and fretting be cause you are -.where vou want to be does not make s betier. The bondq are only tightei. y the fretfulne~p. Two birds in two cage in a room give-an illus tration.

He who does the best he can where God has plaed him has put his foot on the round of theTaddei that leads up to higher things. Second-Usefulness is not the prirMary object for the Christian. We say. "Oh, that we might be more useful," but first rather let us desire to be more 4oly. that is God's will. There is nothing ter for the most of us than sorrow or d anpointment or trial because these thi: shape character. There is little-nnert in being good when everything about us makes us good, and usefulness -is 'e result of character, is to character what. the-ir grance is to the rose. The gardze* i Q& not aim first for the fragraneA t to make the rose nerfect, and t grance takes care of itself. If you dn the serm'ons of Whitfield, Wesley. Spur. econ and Moody yo-i may wonder why these sermons produced such mighty ef fects. It wx-as because the power was in the rieszenger rather than in the message. To be rivht with God. to be holy. to be like Christ. is our first duty, and through the dcor of holiness we pass to usefulness. In the early painting days of Weft, Morse, the philoionher, entered his studio. -e -was nainting his masterniece of "Christ 1l-ejcted." when he said -to his friend, "Let me tie your hands and paint them in the picture," and if you have ever seen this picture you have seen the hands of Morse painted in the stead of Christ. If vou are in bonds for Christ's sake this vory thouiht will take from you the sting ;of living possibly out of sight and doing only common things as you have done in other days. yet the time will come when you will be free. Perhaps there are those here who are in bondage because they have never yet be-. come Christians. In the old Water street mission there came one day a man bowed :lown with sin until he stood little more than four feet high, like a veritable dwarf but when he biowed at the altar and rielded himself to Christ he stood up as straight as an athlete. Perhaps this is what you need. Sighing for peace, you have not found it, searching for pleasur as eluded its grasp. Oh, come to C o for He may set you free. n discipline ma free - 2, t e o. ,mr. a%4 eA bowed with age, but when he step a the fire suddenly these bobds were s and his body was as straight as it had ei been in the days of his youth. and it may not be when sorrow came to you and our heart was almost breaking, when the flames of affliction took hold upon you that Go-I was but teeking to free you from bondace and lead you out into a larger field of service. The thing from which you shrank away He meant for your edifica tion. A dear friend of mine with whom I trav eled recently said. "I was but an averagc Christian urntil one day God came unto my home and took my daughter, and then in thE' midst of mny sorrow I yielded myself to Him, gave Him my time and my money and everything that I htd, and I stepped out into a life of blessinig'sch as I had never known, and I would not give the last twelve years for all my life before ptogether." And then, too, we shall be fWwhen we see Him. For the man ie sphere has been most circumscribed will doubtless find when he stands in Spresence of the King that he was but ia preparation for a mission among the sints at which thevery angels might well stand amazed. 2 if-all these seenflike hardships to us and we have been without comfort, then let us wait until the day of reward shall come. The mother who has had a hard time with her children, just wait -and do your best. When Charles Wesley comes to judgment, and all the hosts that hav'e.bsben won te Christ by His power of music ' e, it will be a great day, rand when &h Wesley comes to judgment with all the souls of Methodism with him it *ill be a marvelous siht. but higher than the throne of either Carles Wesley or John winIbe throne of Susana Wesley, their mother. > The old preacher who has been discour aged oft times because his church was so small and his work so anparently insignifi cant, needs only to wait until that great day, and when that old minister who preached in Falkirk stands in His presence to say possibly to Him. "Master, I had but a little field." he will hear Him way.'"But you led Robert Mofiat to me," and as Toseph Parker said the man who afded Robert Moslat to the church added a conti nent to the. kingdom. And when the old En %1se whose field was very cir cirbed; whose name is not generally ,te stands in His presence to say, 'Mase, I did the best I could, but my church was small," He will say to him, "But you'-led Charles Spurgeon to Christ, aSpurgeon led a multitnde." . Wen Henry VIII. and~ Anne Boleyn caup the River Thames they had a great enhrance into the city of London. Fifty barges followed the Lord Mayor. Officials were dressed in scarlet.
