I Caught a Great Eagla. P. Marker, who is working out at A. H. Smith's sawmill on Rifle Creek, set a lar^e trap., thinking to catch a monster bear, whose tracks were seen in the neighbovhood. Several days after he went out to look at his trap, but iDsteA of the bear he found a large eagle, the largest, perhaps, ever seen in the Rocky Mountains. Tlie eagle had been caught intiro nf tllO fffln VlV OTIP iu L1JC jJUUCilUl JC4 T? O VX 1,1..^/ ^ J ? leg just above the claws. He had dragged the immense trap, which was secured to a log by a chain, into some brush more than twenty-five feet from the spot where trapped, and was dead. So large and strong was his leg that it was not broken. The eagle was too large to carry, so the trapper cut both legs off as trophies. He measured the huge bird, afld it was twelve feet from tip to tip of its outstretched wings.?Myrtle Point "West Oregonian. '''1 A. Cobb, ^ of Provldcuce. R.

Text: "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an Ttour."?Revelation viii., 1. The busiest place in the universe is neaven. It is the center from which all good influences start. It is the goal at which all good results arrive. The Bible represents it as active with wheels and wings and orchestras and processions mounted or charioted. But my text describes a space when the wheels ceased to roll, and the trumpets to sound, and the voices to chent. The riders on the wbito horses reigned in their chargere. The doxologies were hushed and the processions halted. The hand of arrest was put upon all the splendors. "Stop, heaven!" cried an omnipotent voice, and it stopped. For thirty minutes everything celestial stood still. "There was silence in heaven for half an hour ." From all we can learn it is the only time heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as other cities for the night,. for there is no nifcht there. It does not stop for a plague, for the inhabitant never says, "I am sick." It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its inhabitants never fail. It does nor stop for imnaspable streets, for there are no fallen snows nor sweeping freshete. What, then, stopped it for thirty minutes? Grotius and Professor Stuart think it was at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord thinks it was in the year 311. between the close of the Diocletian persecution and the beginning of the wars by which Constantine gained the throne. But that was all a guass, thoueh a learned and brilliant guess. I do not Tknow when it was and 1 do not care when it was, but of the fact that such an interregnum of sound took place, I am certain. "There was silence in heaven for half an hour." And first of all we may learn that God aud all heaven honored silence. The longest and widest dominion that ever existed is that over which stillness was queen. For an eternity there had not been a sound. World making was a later day occupation. For unimaginable ages it was a mute universe. God was the only being, and as there was no one to speak to there was no utterance. But that silence has been all broken up into worlds, and it has become a noisy universe. Worlds in upheaval, worlds in congelation, worlds in conflagration, worlds in revolution. If geologists are right ?and I believe they are?there ha3 not been a moment of silence since this world I began its travels, and the crashings, and tlie splittings, and the uproar, and the hubI bub are ever in progress. But when among the supernals a voice cried, "Hush!" and for half an hour heaven was still, silence was honored. The full nower of silence manv of us have yet to learn. We are told that when Christ was arraigned, "He answered not a word." That silence was louder than any thunder that ever shook the world. Oftentimes, when we are assailed and misrepresented, the mightiest thing to say is nothing, and the mightiest thing to do is nothing. Those people who are always rushing into print to get themselves set right accomplish nothing but their own chagrin. Silence! Do right and leave the results with God. Among the grandest lessons the world has ever learned are the lessons of patience taught by those who end-ired uncomplainingly personal or domestic or social or political injustice. Stronger than any bitter or sarcastic or revengeful answer was the patient silence. Wl TV* \f/Mn?{enn r\f Phaloao Ort. 1UO 10U1WU9 JU1, tfiuiiin/u, VMVMVU, Mv complishad as much by bis silent patienoe as by bis pen and tongue. He bad asthma tbat for twenty-five years brought him out of bis couch at two o'clock each morning. His four sons and daughters dead. The remaining child by sunstroke made insane. The afflicted man said, "At this moment there is not an inch of my body that is not filled with agony." Yet, he was cheerful, triumphant, silent. Those who were in his presence said they felt as though they were in the gates of heaven. Ob, the power of patient silence 1 Eschylus. The immortal poet, was condemned to death for writing something that offended the people. All the pleas in his behaif were of no avail, until his brother uncovered the arm ot the prisoner and showed that bis hand had been shot off at Salamis. Ttiat silent p.ea liberated him. The loudest thing on earth is silence if it be of the right kind and at the right time. There was a quaint humn cnallnH in fchn old stvlft. anil onoe sung in tha c&urohes; 'lhe race is not forever ?o; By him wbo fasleet ran?. Nor the tfatH by those peopell That sqooi with the longest sans. My iriends, the tossing Sea of Galilee seemed most to offend Christ by tne amount of noise it made, tor He said to it, "Be still!" Heaven has been crowning kings and queens unto GoJ lor many centuries, yet heaven never stopped a moment for any such occurrence, but it stopped thirtv' minutes for the coronation of Silence, "fhere was silence in heaven for half an hour." Learn also from ray text that heaven must be ?n eventful an l active place, from the fact that it could afford only thirty minutes o reces.-'. Tnere have been events on earth ani in heaven that seemed to demand a wooleday or whole week or whole year for celestial consideration. If Grotius was right and this silence occurred at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem, that scene was so awiul and so prolonged that the inhabitants of heaven could not nave done iustica to it! in many weeks. After fearful besielement of the two fortresses of Jerusalem?Antonio and Hippicus ?had bsen going on for a long while,a Roman soldier mounted on the shoulder of another I sol:i:er hurled into the window of the tern pie a nreoran-, ami tuc uv.ujjiv ?ao >u atiame. and alter covering many sacrifices to the holiness ot God, the building itself became a sacrifice to the rage of man. The hunger of the people in that city during the besiegement was so great that as some outlaws vvere passing a doorway and inhaled the odors of loo/, taey ourst opeu the door, tmeati-ning the motaer of the household with death unless she gave them food, and she tcol: them aside and saowed them it was her own child sue was cooldng for the ghastly repast. Six hundred priests were destroyed on Mount Zion because the temple being gone there was nothing for them to do. Six thousand people in one cloister were consumed. There were one million one hundred thou sand dead, according to Jo3ephu?. lirotius t inks that this was the causa of silence in heaven for half au hour. If Mr. Lord was right and this silence was during tha Diocletian j>ersecutions, by which eight hundred and forty-four thousand Christians suffered death from sword and fire and banishment and exposure, why did not heaven listen throughout at least one of those awful years? 2To! Thirty minutes! The fact is that the celestial programme is so crowded with spectacle that it can afford only one recess in all eternity and that for a short spa?e. While there are great choruses in which all heaven can join, each soul there has a story of divine mercy peculiar to itself and it must be a solo. How can heaven get throuzh with all its recitatives, with all its canto?, with all Its grand marches, with all its victories? Eternity is too short to ntter all the praise. In my text heaven spared thirty minute?, but it will never again spare one minute. In worship in earthly churches, when there are many to take part, we have to counsel brevity, "but how will heaven get on rapidly enough to let the one hundred and forty-four thou Band get through each with his own Rtory, and then the one hundred and forty-four million, and then the one hundred and forty-four billion, and then the one huudred and forty-four trillion. toNot only are all the triumphs of the past be commemorated, but all ths triumphs to come. Not only what we now know of God, but what we will know of Him after everlasting study of the Detfic. If my text had said there was silence in heaven for, thirty days, I would not have heen startled at the announcement, but it indicates thirty minutes. Why. there will be so many friends to hunt up; so many of the greatly good and useful that we will want to see; bo many of the inscrutable things of earth we will need explained; so many exciting earthly experiences we will want to talk over, and all the other spirits and all the ages will want the same,that there will be no more opportunity for cessation. How busy we will be kept in having pointed out to us tbe heroes and heroines that the world never fully appreciated?the yellow fever and cholera doctors who died, not flying from their posts; the female nurses who faced pestilence in the lazarettos; the railroad engineers who staid at their placse in order to save the train though they themselves perished. "5 . . . ' t * Hubert Goffin, the master miner, who, landing from the bucket at the bottom of the mine, just as he heard the waters rush in, and when one jerk of the rope would have lifted him into safety, put a blind miner who wanted to go to his "sick child in the inucKet ana jertieu uiio iu\ia iui unu >.># tro pulled up, crying, "Tell them the water has burst iu and we are probably lost, but we will seek refuse at the other end of the right gallery;" and then giving the command to the other miners till they digged themselves so near out that the people from the outside could come to their rescue. The multitudes of men and women who got no crown on earth we will want to see when they get their crown in heaveD. I tell you heaven will have no more half hours to spare. Besides that, heaven is full of children. They are In the vast majority. No child on earth that amounts to anything can be kept quiet half an hour, and how are you going to keep five hundred million of them quiet half an hour. You know heaven is much more of a place than it was when that recess of thirty minutes occurred. Its population has quadrupled, septupled, centupled. Heaveu has more on hand, more of rapture, more of knowldge, more of intercommunica^ tion, more of worship. There is not so much difference between Brooklyn seventy-five years ago, when there were a few houses down on the East river and the village reached up only to Sande street, as compared with what this great city is now?yea, not so much difference between New York when Canal Ttreet was far up town, and now when Canal street is far down town, than there is a difference between what heaven was when my text was written and what heaven is now. The mosC thrilling place we have ever been in is stupid comparea with that; and if we now have no time to spare we will then have no eternity tospare. Silence in heaven only half an hour. My subject also impresses ma with the immortality of a half hour. That half hour mentioned in my text is more widely known than any other period in the calendar of heaven. None of the whole hours of heaven are measured off, none of the years, none of the centuries. Of the millions of ages past and the millions of ages to come not one is especially measured off in the Bible. The half hour of my text is made immortal. The only pa.-t of eternity that was ever measured by earthly timepiece was measured by the minute hand of my text. Oh, the half hours! They decide everything. I am not asking what you will do with the years or months or day3 of your life, but what of the half hours. Tell me the history of your half hours and I will tell you the story of your whole life on earth and the story of your whole life in eternity. The rieht or wronc things you cau think in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can say in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can do in thirty minutes are glorious or baleful, inspiring or desperate. Look out for the fragments of time. They are pieces of eternity. It was the half hours between shoeing horses tbat ma:te Elihu Burritt the learned blacksmith; the halt hours between professional calls as a physician that made Abercrombie the Christian philosopher- the half hours between his duties a3 schoolmaster that made Salmon P. Chase chief justice, the half hours between shoe lasts that made Henry Wilson vice president of the United States; the half hours between canal boats that made James A. Garfield president. The half hour a day fbr good books or bad books, the halt hour a day for prayer or indolence, the half hour a day for helping others or blasting others, the half hour be 1 ! 1 il.. U?H> lore you gp to tu:u wc um uuu> after your r ytura from business?tuat makes the difference between the scholar and the ignoramus, between the Christian and the infidel, between the saint and th9 demon, between trftimph and catastrophe, between heaven and "hell. The most tremendous things of your liio and mine were certain half hours. The half hour when in the parsonage of a country minister I resolve! to become a Christian then and there; the half hour when 1 decided to become a preacher of the Gospel, the half hour when I first realizad that my son was dead; the half hour whap I stood on the top of my housa in Oxford street and saw our church burn; the half hour in which I entered Jerusalem; the half hour in which X ajscencad Mount Calvary; tbo half hour in which I stood on. Mar3 hill; the half hour in which the dedicatory prayer of this temple was made, and about ten or fifteen other naif hours are the chief times of ray life. You may forget the name of the exact years or most of the important events of your existence, but those naif hours, like the half hour of my text, will be immortal. T An nnorir what von will do with the * J? ? Twentieth century. I do not query what you will do with 1893, but what will you do with the half hour? Upon that hinges your destiny. \nd during that seme of you will receive the Gospel and make complete surrender, Rod during that others of you will make final and fatal rejection of the full and tree and urgent and impassioned offer of life eternal. Oh, that the next half hour might be the most glorious thirty minutes of your earthly exiscence. Far hack in history a great geographer stood with a sailor looking at a globe that represented our planet, an 1 he pointed to a ' 1 ? 4,1 ?1 -U- MUAMA fhnpa place on me giuue Yirucio uo v^iuuguu was an undiscovered continent. That undiscovered continent was America. The geographer who pointed where he' thought there was a new world was Martin Behaim, and the sailor to whom he .showed it was Columbus. This last was not satisfied till ho had picked that gem out of the sea and set it in the crown of the world's geography. Oh, ye who have been 'sailing up and down the rough soas of sorrow and sin, let me point out to you another continent, yea, another world, that you mar yourselves find a rapturous world, and that is the world a half hour of which we now study. Ob, set sail for it! Here is the ship and here are the compasses. In other words, make this half hour, beginning at twenty minutes to twelve by my watch, the grandest half hour of your life onH hf><v>mn ? Christian. Prav for a reeen erateri spirit. Louis XIV, while walking in the garden at Versailles, met Mansard, the .great architect, and the architect took off his hat before the king. "Put on your hat," said the king, "for tbe evening is damp and cold." And Mansard, the architect, the rest of the evening kept on his hat. The dukes and marquise9 standing with bare heads before the king expressed their surprise at Mansard, but the king said, "I can make a duke or a marquis, but God only can make a Mansard." And I say to you,my hearers. God only by His convincing andconverting grace can make a Christian, but He is ready this very half hour to accomplish it. Again ray text suggests a way of studying heaven so that we can better understand it. The word "eternity" that we handle so much is an immeasurable word. Knowing that we could not understand that word the Bible uses it only once. We say, "Forever and ever;" but "how long is "forever and ever?" I am glad that my text puts under our eyos heaven for thirty minutes. As when you would see a srre.it picture you put a sheet of paper into a scroll and look through it, or join your forefinger to your thumb aud look through the circl6 between, and tbe picture becomes more intense, so this masterpiece of heaven by St. John is more impressive when we take only thirty minutes of it at a time. Now we have something that we can come nearer to grasping, and it is a quiet heaven. When we discourse about the multitudes of heaven it must be almost a nervous shock to those who have ail cneir Jives oeen crowoeu uy uuu; ple and who want a quiet heaven. For the last thirty-five years I have been much or the time in crowds and under public scrutiny and amid excitements, and I have sometimes thoueht for a few weeks after I reach heaven I would like to go down in some quiet part of the realm with a few friends and for some little while try comparative solitude. Then there are th\se whose hearing is so delicate that they get no satisfaction wnen you describe the crash of the eternal orchestra, and they feal like saying, as a good woman in Hudson, N. Y, said, after hearing me speak of the mighty chorus of heaveD. "That must be a great heaven, but what will become of my poor head?" Yes, this half hour of my text is a still experience. There was silence in heaven for half an hour." You will find the inhabitants all at home. Enter the King's Pjlace and take only a glimpse, for we have only thirity minutes for all neaven. "Is that Jesus?" "Yes." Just under the hair along His forehead is the mark of a wound made by a buach of twisted bramble?, and His foot on the throne has on the round of His instep another mark of a wound made by a spike, and a scar on the palm of the lett hand. But what a countenance! What a smile I What a grandeur! What a loveliness! What an overwhelming look of kindness | and grace! Way. He looks as if He had redeamed a world! But come on, for our time is short. Do you see that row of palaces? That is the Apostolic row. Do you see that long reacti of architectural glories? That is. Martyr row. Do you see chat immense structure? That is the big st house in heaven; that is "the House of Alany Mansions." Do you see that wall? jjhade your eyes against its burning splendor; for that is the wall of heaven, jasper at the bottom an l amethyst at the top. See this river rolling through the heart of the great metropolis? That is the river concerning which those who once lived on th9 banks of the Hudson, or the Alabama, or the Rhine, or the Shannon say, "We never saw the like ot thiB .for clarity and sheen." That is the chief river of heav?a?so brizht. so wide, so deep. But you a<K, "vVnere are th3 asylums for the oU?" I answer, "The innabitants are all young." "Where are the hospitals for the lame?' "They are all JJ **WV?QT*rv ora tho ir?flffr\i* f.hA blind and deaf?' 'They all see and hear." ' Where are the altnhonses for the poor?'1 "They are all multimillionaires." "Where are the inebriate asylums?" "Why, there are no saloons." *' Where are the graveyards?' "Why, they never die." Pass down those boulevards of gold and amber and sapphire and Bee those interminable streets built by the Architect of the universe into homes, over the threshold of which sorrow never steps, and out of whose windows faces, once pale with earthly sickness, now look rubicund witn immortal health. "Oh, let tne go in and see thern?" you say. No, you cannot go in.

Our time is short, our thirty minutes are almost gone. Come on! We must get back to the earth before this half hour of heavenly silence breaks up, for in your mortal state you cannot endure the pomp and splendor and resonance when this half hour of silence is ended. The day will come wnen you uu seo heaven in fall blast, but not now. I am now only showing you heaven at the dullest half hour of all tpe eternities. Come on! There is something in the celestial appearancs which makes me think that the hall hour of silence will soon be over. Yonder are the white horses being hitched to chariots, and yonder are seraphs fingering harps as if about to strike them into symphony, and yonder are conquerors taking down from the blua halls of heaven the trumpets of victory. Remember, we are mortal yet, and cannot endure the full roll of heavenly harmonies and cannot endure even the silent heaven for more than half an hour. Hark I the clock in the tower of heaven begins to strike ahd th9ialf hour is ended. Descend I Come back! Come down till your work is donel Shoulder a little longer your burdens!
