Subject: **1101110 Again.'* Text: "BHng hither the fattod calf and till It "?-Luke xv.. 23. In all ages of the world It has been customary to celebrate joyful events by festivity?the stoning of treaties, the proclamation of peace, the Christmas, the marriage. However much on other days of the year our table may have stinted supply, on Thanksgiving there must be something bounteous. And all tue comfortable homes f Christendom have at some time celebrated joyful events by banquet and fesUvity. Something has happened! in the old homestead greater than anything that has ever happened before. A favorite son, whom the world supposed would become a vagabond and outlaw forever, has got tired of sightBeeing and has returned to his father's house. The world said he never would comeback. The old man always said hifl son would come. He had been looking for him day after day and year after year. He knew he would come back. Now, having returned to his father's house, the fathez proclaims celebration. There is a calf in the paddock that has been kept up ?and fed to utmost capacity, so as to be ready for some occasion of joy that might come along. Ab, there never \rtll be a grander day on the old homestead than this day. Let the butchers do their work and the housekeepers bring into the table the smoking meat. The musioians will take their places, and the gay I groups will move up and down the floor. All the mends ana neignoora are tratxierou In, and extra supply Is Bent out to the table of the servants. The father presides at the table, and says grace, and thanks God that his long absent boy Is home again. Ob. how they missed him! How glad they are tc havo him back! One brother Indeed standi pouting at the baok door qnd says: "This Is a great ado about nothing. This bad boy should have been chastened instead ol greeted. Veal is too good for him 1" Bui the father says: "Nothing is too good Nothing Is good enough." There sits thi young man, glad at the hearty reception but a shadow of sorrow flitting across hii brow at the remembrance of the trouble h< had seen. All ready now. Let the covers lift. Music. He was dead, and he is aliv< again! He was lost, and ne is found! B< such bold imagery does the Bible set fortt the merrymaking when a soul comes hom> to God. First of all, there is tho new convert's joy. It is no tame thing to become a Christian The most tremendous moment in a man'i life is when he surrenders himself to God The grandest time on the father's homestead is when the boy comes back. Among thi great throng who, in the parlors of mj I church, professed Christ one night was i young man, who next mornfng rang mi doorbell and said: "Sir, I cannot contall myself with the Joy I feel. I came here thli morning to express it. I have found mort joy in five minutes in serving God than i) all the years of my prodigality, and I cam> to say so." Tou have seen perhaps a man running foi his physical liberty and the officers of tht law after him, and you saw him escape, a afterward you heard the judge had pardonet him and how great was the glee of that cued man! But it is a very tame thing tba' compared with the running for one's evet lastlnu life?the terrors of the law after hln and Cbrist coming in to pardon and bles and rescue and save. You remember Johi Bunyan, In his great story, tells how the pll grim put his fingers in his ears and ran, ciy Ing, ''Life, life, eternal life!" A poor ca' driver, after having had to struggle to sup port his family for years, suddenly was in formed that a large inheritance was his, an? there was joy amounting to bewilderment but that Is a small thing compared with th( experience of one when he has put in hi hands the title deed to the joys, the raptures the splendors of heaven, and he can trulj say, ''Its mansions are mine; Its temples art mine; its songs are mine; its Qod is mine 1' On, it is no tame thing to become a Chris tian. It is a merrymaking. It Is the killinf of the fatted calf. It Is jubilee. Yon knov the Bible never compares it to a funeral, bu' always compares it to something bright. I is more apt to be compared to a banque than anything else. If is compared in th< Bible to rhe water?bright, flashing waterto the morning, roseate, fire worked, moun tain transfigured morning. I wish I coulc to-day take all the Bible expressions abou pardon and peace and life and comfort am nope and heaven, and twist them Into on< garland, and put it on the brow of the hum blest child of God in all this land, and ory 'Wear it, wear it now, wear it forever, soi of God, daughter of the Lord God Almighty Ob, the joy of the new convert! Oh, thi gladness of the Christian service!" You have seen sometimes a man in a re ligious assembly get up aud give his experience. Well, Paul gave his experience He rose in the presence of two churoheBthe church on earth and the church li. heaven?and he said, "Now, this is my experience, sorrowful, yet alwayB rejoicing poor, yet making many rich; having noth Ulgj J CL ]JUS3C3SlUg Oil LUIU^S. XI ttll LUC people who read this sermon knew the joyi ot the Christian religion, they would al pass over Into the kingdom of God the nex moment. When Daniel Sandeman was dy ing of cholera, his attendant said. "Hav you mu;h pain?" "Ob," he replied, "sinci I found the Lord I have never had any paii except Bin." Then they said to him "Would yon like to send a message toyouj friends?" "Yes. I would. Tell them that only last night the love of Jesus came rushing Into my soul like the surges ot the sea, and I had to cry out: 'Stop, Lord; it is enough! Stop, Lord?enough!"' Oh, the joys of this Christian religion > Just pass over from those tame ioys Id which you are Indulging?joys or this world?into the raptures of the gospel. The world cannot satisfy you; you have found out?Alexander longing for other worlds to conquer and yet drowned in his own bottle, Byron whipped by disquietudes around the world, Toltaire cursing his own soul whiU all the streets of Paris were applauding him, Henry IL consuming with hatred against poor Thomas a Becket, all illustrations ol the fact that this world cannot make a man happy. The very man who poisoned the r?nmmpl r\T t>>A anririta nn whfnh OnaAn Elizabeth rode shouted In the street, "God Save the Queen!" One moment the world applauds, and the next moment the world anathematizes. Oh, come over into-this greater joy, this sublime solace, this magnificent beatitude. The night after the battle of Shiloh there were thousnnds of wounded on the field, and the ambulances had not come. One Ohristian soldier, lying there a-dying under the starlight, began to sing t There is a land of pure delight. And when we came to the next line there Were scores of voices united : Where saints immortal reign. The song was caught up all over the field among the wounded until it was said that there were at leass 10,000 wounded men There everlasting spring abides And never withering flowers. Death, like a narrow stream, divide? That heavenly land from ours. Oh, it is a great religion to liva by, and it Is a great religion to die by. There is only one heart throb between you and that relig Ion this moment, just iook into tne lace 01 your pardoning God, and surrender yourself lor time and for eternity, and He is your?, and heaven is yours, ana all is yours. Some of you, like the young man of the text, have gone astray. 1 know not the history, but you know it?you know it. When a young man went forth into life, the legend says, his guardian angel went torth with him. and jfeitinir him into a field tb* gunrdinn an<?el swept a circle clear around where the young man stood. It was a circle of virtue and honor, and he must not step beyond that circle. Armed foes came down, but were obliged to halt at the circle. They could not pass. But one day a temptress, with diamoned hand, stretched forth and crossed that circle with the band, and the tempted soul took it, and by that one fell grip was brought beyond the circle and died. Some of you have stepped beyond thit cricle. Would you not like this day, by the grace of God. to step back? This. I say to you. is your hour of salvation. There was in the closing hours of Queen Anne what is called the clock sceu>\ Flat down on The pillow, in helpless sickness, she could not move her head or mov? her hand. She was waiting for the hour when the ministers was ; ' ~v. - V/n- ' ' f / "' of State should gnther In angry contest, and worried and worn out by the coming hour, and in momentary absence of the nurse, In the power?the strange power which delirium sometimes gives one?she arose and stood In front of the clock, and stood there watching the clock when the nurse returnsd. The nurse said, "Do > ou see anything peculiar about that clock?" She made no answer, but *oon died. There Is a clock scene in every history. If some of you would rise rrom the bed of lethargy nnd come out of your delirium of sic and look on the clock of your destiny this moment, you would see and hear something you have not seen or or heard before, and every tick of the minute, and every stroke of the hour, and every swing of the pendulum, would say, "Now, now, now, now!" Oh, come home to your Father's house! Come home, oh, prodigal, from the wilderness! Come home, come home! T nwArlfwnl /in ma OUl J. UUllUO lllrtl ? ii.'ZLX (.uo piuui^ui there was the father's joy. He did not greet him with any formal "How do you do?" He did not come out and say: "You are unflt to enter. Go out and wash in the trough by the well, and then you can come in. We have had enough trouble with you." Ah, no! When the proprietor of that estate proclaimed festival, it was an outburst of a father's love and a father's joy. God is your father. I have not much sympathy with that description of God I sometimes hear, asthough He were a Turkish sultan?hard and unsympathetic and listening not to the cry of His subjects. A. man told me hesaw in one ofthe eastern lands a king riding along, and two men were In an altercation, and one charged the oth<?r with havinz eaten his rice, and the king said, "Thee slay the man, and by post mortem examination find whether he nas eaten the rice." And he was slain. Ah, the cruelty of a scene like that I Our God is not a sultan, not a despot, but a fatherkind, loving, forgiving?and He makes all heaven ring again when a prodigal come9 back. "I have no pleasure." He says, "in the death of him that dieth." - If a man does not get heaven, it is because he will not go there. No difference the color. no difference the history, no difference the antecedents, no difference tne surroundings, no difference the sin. When the whits DOrses 01 unrisrs Vioiury are uiuugui uui iu jelebrate the eternal triumph, you may ride one of them, and, as God Is greater than all, His joy Is greater, and when a soul comes back there is in His heart the surging of an infinite ocean of' gladness, and to expresi that gladnees it takes all the rivers of pleasure, and all the thrones of pomp, and all the ages of eternity. It is a joy deeper than aV depth, and higher than all height, and wider than all width, and vaster than all immensity. It overtops, it uadergirds. it outweighs all the united splendor and joy of.th( universe. Who oan tell what God's joy is? You remember reading the story of a kins who on some great day. of festivity scattered silver and gold among the people, whe sent valuable presents to nis courtier3, but methinks when a soul comes back God is so glad that to express His joy He flings out new worlds into space, kindles up new suns and rolls among the white robed anthems o: the redeemed a greater halleluiah, while with a voloa that reverberates among the mountains of frankincense and is echoed back from the everlasting gates He cries, "This, my son. was deadand is alive again r At tne opening of the exposition in New Orleans I saw a Moxlcan flutist, and he played the solo, and then afterward the eieht or ten bands of music, accompanied bj the great organ, came in, but the sound of that one flute as compared with all the orchestra was greater than all the combined joy of the universe when compared with the resounding heart of Almighty God. For ten years a lather went three times t day to the depot. His son went off in nggravating circumstances, but the father said, ''He will come back." The strain was too much, and his mind parted, and three times a day the father went. In the early morning he watched the train?its arrival, the stepping out of the passengers, and then the departure of train. At noon he was thert again, watching the advance of the train, watching the departure. At night there again, watching the coming, watching the going, tot ten yeare. Hf was sure his son would come back. God has been watching and waiting for some of you, my brothers, ten years, twenty yeare, thirtj years, forty years, perhaps fifty years, waiting, waiting, watching, watching, and ii this morsing the prodigal should come home, what a scene of gladnsss and festivltj and how the great Father's heart would rejoice at your coming home! You wil, <.*ome, some or you, will you not/ xou wiu. you will! I notice also that when a prodigal coma home there is the joy of the ministers of r? ligion. Oh, it is a grand thing to preact this gospel! I know there has been a grea' deal said about the trials and the hardsnips of the Christian ministry. I wish somebodj would write a good, rousing book about thi joys ot the Christian ministry. Since I en tered the profession I have seen more of tb? goodness of God than I will be able to cel& brate in all eternity. I know some boast about their equilibrium, aud they do nol rise into enthusiasm, and they do not breat down with emotion, but I confess to yoi plainly that when I see a man coming tc God and giving up his sin I feel in body, mind and soul a transport. When I see a man who is bound band and foot in evil habit emancipated, I rejoice over it as though it were my own emancipation. When, in our Communion service, such throngs o) young and old stood up at the altars and it the presence of heaven and earth and hell attested their allegiance to Jesus Christ, ] felt a joy something akin to that which th( apostle describes when he says : "Whethei in the body I cannot tell, or out of the body I cannot tell. God knowetb." AAOVO UUL UJ1U1DIOI9 a 1114111 IU IOJUIUV when a proaigal comes nomer They oiew the trumpet, and ought they not to bo glad at the gathering of the host? They pointed to the full supply, and ought they not to rejoice wben souls pant as the hart for the water brooks? They came forth saying, 'All things are now ready." Ought they not rejoice when the prodigal sits down at the banquet? Life insurance men will all tell you that ministers of religion as a class live longer than any other. It is confirmed by th? statistics of all those who calculate upon human longevity. Why is It? There Is more draft upon the nervous system than In any other profession, and their toil is most exhausting. I have seen ministers kept on miserable stipends by parsimonious congregations who wondered at the dullness of the sermon, when the men of God were perplexed almost to death by questions of livelihood and had not enough nutritious food to keep any flro in their temperament. No fuel, no fire. I have sometimes seen the inside of the life of many of the American clergymen?never acsepting their hospitality because they cannot afford It?but I have seen them struggle on with salaries of $500 and $600 a year, the average less than that, their struggle well depicted by the Western missionary who Jays In a letter t ' Thank you for ycur last remittance. Until it oame we had not any meat in our house for one year, and all last winter, although it was a severe winter, our jhildren wore their summer clothes." And these men of God I find In different parts of the land, struggling against annoyances and exasnarotlona Innnmwahla >f them week after week entertaining agents who have maps to sell and submitting themjelves to all styles of annoyances, and yet without complaint and oheerful of soul. How do you account for the fact that theso life insurance men tell us that ministers as a class live longer than any others? It is because of the joy of their work, the joy of the harvest flold, tne joy of greeting prodigals home to thalr Father's house. We are in sympathy with' all innocent hilarities. We can enjoy a hearty .'song, and we can bo merry with the merriest, but those of us who have toiled in the service are ready to testify all theBe joys are tame com* pared with the satisfaction of seeing men enter the kingdom of God. The great eras of every minister are the outpourings ol the Holy Ghost, anil I thank God I have sjr-a twenty of them, Thank God, thank God ! I notice also when the prodigal comes back all earnest Christians rejoice. If you stood on a promontory, and there was a hurricane at sea. and it was blowing toward the shore, and a vessel crashed Into the rocks, and you saw people get ashore in the liteboats. and thevery last man got on the rocks in safety, you could not control your joy. And it is a glad time when the church of God sees men who are tossed on the ocean of their sins plant their feet on the rock Christ Je3us. "When prodigals come home, just hear those Christians sing! It is not a dull tune you hear at such times. Just hear those Christians pray! It is not a stereotyped s;pplication we have heard over and over for twenty years, but a putting of the case In the hands of God with an Importunate pleading. Men never pray at ijreat length unless they have nothing to say, and their hearts are hard and cold. All the Dravers 1a the Bible * v.;';%i ?'<? that were answered were short prayers. ' God be merciful to me. a sinner." "Lord, that I may receive my sight." <'Lord, save me or I perish." The longest Drayer, Solomon's prayer at the dedication )t the temple, le3s than eight minates in length, according to the ordinary rate of Bnunciation. And just hear them pray now that the prodigals are coming home. Just gee them shake hands. No putting forth of the four tips of the fingers in a normal way, but a hearty grasp, where the muscles of the heart seem to clinch the fingers of one hand around the other hand. And then see those Christian faoes, how illumined they are. And Bee that old man get up and with the sama voice that he sang fifty years ago in the old country meeting house say, ''Now, Lord, lettest.Thou Thy servant depart in peace, fot mine eyes have seen Thy salvation." There was a man of Keith who was hurled into prison In time of persecution, and one daj he got off his s&aokies, ana ne came ana jtood by the prison door, and when the jailer was opening the door with one >trokfl be struck down the man who had incarcerated mm. Passing along the streets of London, he wondered where his family was. He did not dare to ask lest he excite suspicion, bat passing along a little way from the prison he saw a Keith tankard, a oup that belonged to the family from generation to generation. He saw It In a window. His family, hoping that some day he would get clear, came and lived as near as they could t* the prison house, and they set that Keith tankard in the window, hoping he would see it, and ha oame along and saw It. and knocked at tha door, and went in, ana the long absent family were all together again. Oh, If yoa would start for the kingdom of God to-day, I think some of you woald find nearly all your friends and nearly all your famlliei around the holy tankard of the holy communion?fathers, mqthers, brothers, sister^ around that sacred tankard which com, memorates the love'of Jesus Christ our Lor'di Oh, it will be a great communion day when pour whole family sits around the sacred iankard 1 One on earth, one in heaven. Onoe more I remark that when the prodigal gets back the inhabitants of heaven keep festival. I am very certain of It.

"That's the one I used to pray for,' "That's the one for whom I wept so mans tears," and one soul would say, "Hosanna!" and another soul would gay, "Halleluiah P' Pleased with the news, the saints balotf In songs their tongae3 employ.

Indeed, considering the rate of progress in arts and sciences, we ought not to be quite so far, contends our contemporary, from the day when the cobwebs in the cellar will be carefully collected and converted into silk dresses for the ball room.?Draper's Record. .

Lafit week Ira Wade, Charles Ward and Joe Tyra were working in the woods near Beattyville, where they were cutting props for miners, and 1 they found a half a pair of saddle 1 pookets. In the side was found a roll or bundle of paper; Upon investigation they found it to be a roll or package of greenbacks. The money was entirely rotten, and it crumbled to dust when they tried to separate the sheets. One of the theories to acoount for the find is this: It will be remembered that some fifteen years ago J. P. Qmollnmn/? TKtqti MnHnirA ffiram >JiUC?ll1TVUU| vj ???? Patrick, J. 0. Lovelace, Steve Jones and others captnred a young man, who turned out to be an express agent who had fled from Cincinnati with some $21,000 of the express company's money. Smallwood arrested him in the court house during the Democratic Convention that instructed for Thomas Turner. The agent said he had used $150, and $250 was found on him. It is a probability that the bundle Wade tore up with a stick was worth nearly $20,000. This, of course, is on the theory that Gilmore hid the money in this section. Tradition says he did. I It has always been understood that he hid his money somewhere on the Upper Creek or toward Fox Shoal.? Mount Sterling (Ky.) Gazette. Mutton vs. Tinned Meats. Of the total 125 pounds of animal food annually consumed by each unit of the population of Great Britain, one-third is imported. The consignments of frozen Australian mutton are steadily increasing.
