Brooklyn, N. Y.-The Rev. Robert Collver. the (,Idest Unitarian pastor in G reater New York. preached in the Second I nitaria Chuirch. Clinton and Congress streets. Sunday morning. His last ap'warance in that church was last fall. when he delivered an address on the late Rev. I)r. John White Chad wick, the former pastor. who had just died. The oloquent preacher took for his text: Genesis xxxiii:13-14. "The children are tender: I wiUl lead on soft ly." and said: It was one of the see'ets of ry craft, in the old days when I wanted to weld iron or work steel to a tine purpose. to begin gently. If I began as all learners do, to strike my heaviest blows at the start, the iron would crumble instead of welding. or the steel would stiffer tnder my hammer. s'o that, when it caine to be tempered it would *fly," as we used to say. and rob the thing I had nade of its fitest quality. it was the first condition of a good job to begin gen:ly. later I could strike with a lirmer hand. and in the cad pour out all my might in a storm of sturdy I blnws; but if I began so it ended, as a rule. with a wreek. The perfection of the Nasmyth hammer lies in the blend ilg of its gentleness and its ponderous might. so ihat it can coite down as gently as a June shower or smite like a tornado, according to'the need of the moment. So the skillful mechanic starts new machinery. a locomotive, a steamt engine or even a sewing ma chine. 'citly. It is the first condition of keeping the balance true that the machine shall not tear away at first at ligh pressure. I noticed the same in the building up of a grand organ. The builder began gently in bringing out its harmonies. vith some tine chords, made those true and went on to the othe:s. and so wrought on to thc ud. Again an animal trainer while he smites .he tiger with an iron bar. if he is wise talks te a horse. al lures him. courts hin and makes him his friend. We 1) not speak of "break ing" a horse, so much now; we "train" bim. So I love to note such things as these as I watgh the perpetual advent of little children into this life of ours, and wonder how -'e shall deal with them in the one wise way which will weid them, shall I say. to waatsoever things are true and lovely and of good report. start thevm to the surest purpose and train them so as to bring out the whole power for good which God has hidden in their nature. There must be one right way, and I think this father found it when he said: "The children are tender; I will lead tlicm on softly." They may seem ('rude. mere machines or little brutes: there are some men who seem by their actions to have such notions of a child's nature, to their eternal shame. Here is the prin ciple: They are tender: we must lead them on softly. Solomon may slip in with his cruel maxim of "Spare the rod and spoil the child." He has no busi ness about my place while my children are tender. I can no more be hard on them than Jesus could. If I hurt them in this evii way I hurt those. who are of the kingdom of H-eaven. My white hairs have brought me this wisdom: That the unpardonable sin is to be hard on a tender child. I do not wonder that the old granidsire is so ge-ntle with the second generation. He will not tell you, or himself, perhaps. why he is, but he would .fain recaill some passages of his fatherhood. but that cannot be done. so he chokes back the inextinguishable regret and humbly tries to get even through the over measure. My7 good inothe was some thing of a Sparta na very gentle Spartan, with her c'hildr'en. but it was wonderfully beautiful to see her in her old age spreading her wide. grand, motherly wings over the children of the new day. She could ino more be hard upon them, no matter 'what pranks they played, than youir Mlay sun can be hard upon your M1ay blos som. It was the return of the heart to the soft answer. the sweet submis sion to the better plan. the vision of the infinite worth of gentle ways with tender folk, the endeavor, unknown to herself. to ease her dear old heart of what little pain there was front the old days, the feeling that perhaps she might have gone more softly once. These children n not things at all that we ('alt turin out to pattern. buxt human beings, each one living to him self or to herself,. holding a se cret we cannot fathom. possessing powers perhap~s we cannot even guess at - our children a f ter the tiesh: God's childrent after the spirit. but intrusted to our hands and homes that, coming out of IHeaven with hints of the anigels in themt.. they may go back wheni their time comles as sealed saints.

I wotuld say, "pray for insight and fore sight: this may be a rare gift you do not understanid. The loftiest poet thant ever satng may be butt :a vaster liat' by your criterion." Childrent are tender we must remem ber as we try to educatte .them. We could hardly light on a wiser or better womani than Mrs. Barbauld: buit shie was so cager to muake a very remtarka hie man out of her little ntephiew, Charles Aiken, th:.5 she educated hitm otut of his nmitnd l'.to idiocy.

They urgez themt ott at their books, or prt'm it the teachers to do th is, until tht.- poor() young thing lose more int wealth of life atnd life's worth thtatn their e dtuen'tiont will ev er paiy for. Leadl c-a softly in these paths of education. If your chlildren will leave them learned but invalids. hold them back: a true education is not a long fever. Here and there a child may need to be urged on a little. but I frankly confess that under the high pressure rf our public schools I would take the children's side in iheir little plots to stay aIw;y a day from school when they have been hard at work for many days. I like to plot with Them: their suecess pleases me more than their failure. In the culture of the heart. also. we must lead on softly. I can no more b lieve that hard and eruel thoucghts of God will be good for my children than I can believe in hard and cruel words and blows, and I have no doubt there are more so-called infidels made, and confirmed to that end. by fathers who thought they were doing God's service than there are of any other type. Such thoughts may be but theology to the father. but they are very often grim. hard. real hiting torment to the tender child. It shuts out I-leaven and opens hell to him: it is cruel as the hissing and biting of serpents to some delieate small souls. I suffered more agony at one time in my childhood when a re vivalist got hold of me and made me believe I might wake up in hell when I laid my poor little head on the pillow than from any other thing that ever struck me. There lies the way to (1o a fatal mischief. the way the ,eeds of in fidelity are sown in many a -noble na ture. It is simply the revolt at. the re sistance to, and the rejection of, a God their nature is too large and sweet and tender to tolerate. If in these early days there is no day stor of a lovelier light, no dawning for the small. bright soul of a better day, then there may be no chance for that soul to pass into the kingdom until it has passed out of the world. When we quote the Scripture: "Train up a child in the way he should go," we must still take heed to our ways lest we think more of the Scripture than we think of the child-fix our mind and purpose on the other rather than the hither end of the way and train him for what he should be at forty rather than what he must be in childhood and youth. We must answer for what is written in the book of the life of our children. I must lay the patriarch's gentle purpose to my heart: "The children ar;e tender. I will lead on softly." for these in my Care. who also have the long hard journ'ey before them. If this is true of the shadow. how true it must be of the light. If ours is a hard and poor lot, no man or woman. father or mother, need ever fear the children will fail to look back ward to the early years with a tender love, if by all the means in our power we make good for them the patriarch's purpose. I think, indeed, our love for the old homac is very often deepest and purest in those who have had to face the hardest times if we have fought through them in this bright, good way, and led the children on softly. There were homes in this country fifty, sixty. seventy years ago bare of all things save this one secret-they are the dear est places on the earth to-day in mem ory of men and women who have every thing now the heart can desire. And when we have done this, what better can we do than put the whole wealth of our endeavor in trust into the hands of God. "Thou Art My Light." A touching incident was narrated by Dr. R. F. Horton on the second Sunday after his return from months of treat ment by a celebrated German oeulist. He was waiting in the oculists con sulting room, not knowing whether or not the remainder of his life was to be passed in darkness, when he put his hand into his pocket and drew out his little Bible-not to read it. but to see if he could. As he opened it his eyes fell on the text: --For Thit~ are my lamp, 0 Lord: and the Lord will lighten my dark ness." "I had not been aware of the very existence of this text," he said. '-and I do not know who but an angel could have led me to it; but I felt that, whether I received my sight or not, those words were enough for me. and from that time I seemed to know that I should continue to proclaim the words of this blessed Book." - Duty Above Life. Life is a matter of very small ac count to any one in comparison with duty-doing, whether a man realizes this truth or not. Whatever is worth living for is worth dying for, if dying be an incident to its pursuing. When the Roman General, Pompey, was warned against the danger of his re turning from Egypt to Italy. to meet a new trouble in his own land, his her-ole answer was: "it is a small mat ter that I should more forwvard and dije. I-t is too great a matter that I should take one step backwar-d and live."' Life is never well lived when it is held dea ret- than duty. He who would tell a lie in order to live is will ing to pay a great deatl larger price for his life than that life is worth to him self-or to others.--H. C. Trumbull. Short Meter Sermons.

BLEW DOWN CITY WALL. People of Leipsic Reminded of the Fate of Jerichto. We have been hearing a good deal about the walls of ,Jericho lately, and. therefore, it is cnrious that we should have an actual example of the power of a trumpet-blast occurring in Europe to-dlay. A short time ago, at Leipsic, the conductor of a brass band used to train his musicians in his garden. which was bounded by the old walls of the city. One day, when they were practicing a grand march they came to a passage in which ali the trumpets had to blo0w fortissimo. and, as they gave one final blalst all together., they were aston ished to see the old wall suddenly crtumblc and topple over into the fields outside. Happily. the only result was that the cows in the meadows were frizcht ened. but it is evident that the walls of Leipsic are even more unstable than were the walls of Jericho. SL-tch. TRE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR JULY 2. Subject: Sennacherib's Invasion, II. Chron. xxxii., 9-23-Golden Text. H..; Chron. xxxii., 8-Memory Verses, 19-21 -Commentary on the Day's Lesson. 1. Sennacherib's defiart messaaes (vs. 9-19). 9. "After this." After re Ieiving *he present from aezekiah (2 Kings 18: 14-16). "Sennacherib." The I son and successor of Sargon. He says be built towers around Jerusalem and shut Hezekiah in "like a caged bird." "Assyria." This was a great and pow erful country lying' on the Tigris. Its boundaries differed greatly at different periods. "Send his servants." See 2 Kings IS: 17. Tartan. or general; the rabsaris, the chief of the eunichs: and the rab-shakeh. the chief cup-bearer, these being the offices which their names imply, with a great host. None of these are proper names. Tarta was the ordinary title of an Assyrian general. They were to demand the In conditional surrender of the king and capital. "To Jerusalem." Sennacherib ,was encamped before Lachish, thirty miles southwest of Jerusalem. seated in state. From this proud positior he sent a large detachment to Jerusalem. They took up their position on the north of the city. on a spot long after wards known as the camp of the Assy rians. Hezekiah feared to appear: or perlips, careful of his dignity, he sent otlicers of his court. who were nearer the rank of those sent. In his place came Eliakim, now thief minister: Shebna. now in the office of secretary: and Joah. the royal historian. *AII his power." All- his army. 10. "Whereon do- ye trust'" Liter ally. "Whereon are ye trustinr and sit ting in restraint?'" .udah was in al liance with Egypt. Assyria's arch-en eiy: :nd reference is here made to this. 11. "Doth not Hezekiah." Hez ekiah is abI used most vilely antad over whelmned wvith scorn and insult. 12. "Worship before one altar." Rab-sha kelh was not familiar wiith the Jewish lw. a id he na1turally sposed that the destruction of so many altars would incur tl~e displeasure of tlt gods: but the ireason he gave to prove that .Tudah was weak was the very rea son why (od was with them to make themll strong. 1:1-5. "Know ye not." etc. This boast was natural. The As syrianus had had an uninterrupted .' l'eer of success and might well believe that their grods were more powerful than those of the nations around them. They had utterly over-run and de stroyed the kindred tribes of Galilee, Gilead and Sainaria. They had for years exercised lordship over Judea. and the very kinlg who now defied them had purchased his sa fety by ilie payment of a heavy fine. 1G. "Against the Lord." Hezekiah treated this bhispheimous speech :s lie ought. He 1 refers tile inatter to .lehovah. 17. "Wrote also letters." A little later another insulting messa:ge in thr form of "a letter" (R. V.. margiM was sent. The king took the letter anld at o11ee went again to the house of the Lord. He spread out the letter before the Lord and poure(d out his soul in < earnest prayer (2 Kings 19: 14-9: Isa.i 37: 14-20). 18. -A loud voice." An a; lusion is here mde to what occurlred 12 Kings iS: 28-:5) before Se:inaeherib wrote his letter. ".Jews' spee~'h." The Hlebrew Iangunage. T1he Syriau hmIan gnage was not understood by the con mon people. "To affrmighit thenm." It w-as a day of gr'eat suspense. Already there was a rumor that the king of Egypt was on his way to tl e rescue. Senacherib had heard the rumor, anda it w~as this which caused him to put C forth every elfor't to intimidate .Terusa lemi into submission. 19. "Spake against." etc. Tha~y saw no difference between the .Tehio-:Lih of the Jews and the gods of the other nations. I II. H~ezekiah and Isaiah call oni :he Lord (v. 20:). 20. "Prayed." King Hezekiah rent his clothes and put on sackcloth and went to the house of Gsod, wvhile his messengers so'ught out. the prophet Isaiah to know~ what to do. The prayer expressed the deepest need. the highest faith, the utmost earnest-i ness. the wisest plea, thme highest mo tive. It was ulnited prayer, a prayer meeting. Isaiah joined with Hlezekiahi. But they not only prayed, they worked. The king built walls aind towers, and prepared armas and shields and encour-e aged thle people to be strong ind cour- I ageous, and not to be -afraid of the As- I syriani l:ing. "for there be mo"e with us than with him" (vs. G. 7m. III.. The Lord destroys the Assy rians (v. 21).1 21. The word angel means "a mes senger.'"-one senlt." and may be ap plied to any mlessenger sent fr'om God. whoever or whatev'er that may' be. Thus in Psa. 104: 4 the winds are said t to be His angels or messenigers. T'he use of the word "angel" here (10es not determine the manner inl which the de .sttructionl wams accomplished. It mayI have been a storm, a pestilence or flood. It is generally understood to have been the simnoon. "Cut off." In one night God's messenger snmote 1S5. 000 mfen (2 Kings 19: 3). This gives some idea of the- immense sige of Sen nacherib's army. "He returned." The king and a few others were preserved. "Own land." Nineveh. "When lie was come." .Just how; long a time elapsed between thlis calamity and Sen-. nac'heribs death we do not know, but it w;as probably about twenty years. He records other c'ampaignls. but he never again camle to Palestine. "His god." Nisroch. "Slew him." 'Adram- I mnelech and Sharezer his sauns smote him with the su'or.; and they es caped" (2 Kings 10: 37). JV. Hezekian is exalted (v's. 22. T:i). These ver'ses tell us that God nlot onuly saved His people fronm the l.ands of Sennacherib, but from all others and "guided them on every side.'- M1any presents were broughlt to Ilezekiah, and lie was exalted in the sight of all. Great Bank Squeezes Pennies. r The World's Work, in a recent is sue, shows how carefully the First National bank of Chicago look's to its postage account. "Stamped postal cards are not used. and not cne of the thousands of routine letters that are written every day is stamped and sealed until the whole routine mail of the day is assembled in the after noon. Then all the cards and letters to one corresponden~ft are put i-1 a sin gle envelope. and-except for letters fromt the officers and the like-the bank comes as near as possible to get ting its entire mail carried at 2 cents an Ounce. or 1 cent for every postalt card, instead of often paying 2 cents for a quarter of an oumner, as i; would , have to do if every communication vwere isealed and st:nped separty. This httle matter of getting full vat:c r out of~a 2 cent stamp makes a saving of S25 to .$30 a day." Paupers Kept in Luxury. It cost the town of Ware. Mass.. $10,000 .to support nine paupers last year. ankd economical citizens are sug gesting that they be boarde-l at a firt-an's hotet. TRICK OY THE JEWELERS. "Diamond Tree" a Paying Institution in Some Establishments. "T haven't a diamond tree." said the Jeweler. "Smith, over the way there has one. Though. At least. so I've been 'tcl:.'' "What is a diamond tree?" "It is a tree where diamonds grow, of course." No. Seriously. What is it?" The jeweler smiled. "Well." he said, "a diamord tree i a swindle, a very profitable swindle, and one that can be carried on for ever with mighty little risk of de tection. I'll explain it to you. "I am a jewe!er and you bring me a diamond ring for repairs. I take the diamond out of your ring and I put back in its place a similar dia mond that is a little, a very little, smaller. You. naturally. don't dis cover the trick that has been played o: You. "The same day a brooch is brought to me and since the central stone ol the brocch is a little larger than your diamond. I get rid of yours and keel: the bigger gem. In this way. four or five times in one dayoI make diamond exchanges. keeping always a better stone than I part with. "On good diamond trees. diamonds as small as pin heads have beer known to grow to the size of peas in two days. A good tree. too, won't have only one diamond growing on it at a time. A dozen stones or more will be simultaneously increasing ir size and value as the days pass." But Etiquette Hardly Applied. A. H. Hummel. the well known law rer of New York. was talking, be :ween the acts of a drama, about the eading woman. "Though her salary is large." said %1r. Hummel. "she is always hard up, iways in debt, they say. "The other day I heard a story tbout her. A female bill collector ,alled on her to try to get her to set 3e a bill for a sable coat. "'I am sorry.' she said to the col ector. 'but I can't settle this bill at >resent.' "'Very well, madame. When shall call again?' the collector asked. - -Well,' said the actress. 'it would iardly be etiquette for you to ca!l tgain until I have returned the pres. nt call.'" Breaking Eggs for a Living. A correspondent of a contemporary, vho has been searching for the most nonotonous rethod of earning a liv ng, decides in favor of that of crack ng eggs. "I met a man who said ie was a biscuit manufacturer on a arge scale, and . was rather inclined o boast about the number of eggs vhich his firm bought in the course >f a year. Now, it seems that to avoid alamity five eggs are broken into a >owl at a time before being added to he common stodk. There are men, Le told me. who do nothing but crack iggs. They become so expert that a nan can dispose of a thousand an iour, or ten thousand a day." The oldent Nurse in Georala. Mrs. S. E.
