Even before the Psalmist 'sang, "Blow ye the horn in the new moon," the schofar," or ram's horn, had been heard for thousands of yeare in the synagogues of the people of Israel. Hunters, shepherds and sol-; diers alike used these natural instruments, while from the towers and battlements of mediaeval castles the sound of the horn gave notice of the coming of friend or foe. And it is not very loDg since the spear armed watchman walked the streets of the cities to time his melancholy signal notes. The animal horn, as a musical instrument, ;has recently come again to honor H 'through the Berlin Court instrument I 'maker, "who has fashioneu from the horn of an African antelope a windings etrament that, with its beautiful, gl penetrating and far-reaching tone, ex eels all metal home.

Rab-shakeh re alizei that it is easier to find horses tha skillful riders, and hence he makes the cha leuge of the text: "I will deliver thee 200 hordes if thou be able to sot riders upoj them."

More spii ited horses than competent riders! The fac is that in the church of God we havo plent of fortresses well manned and plenty c heavy artillery and plenty of solid column of brave Christian soldiery, but what w most need is cavalry?mounted troops c God?for sudden charge that seems almos desperate. If Washington, if New York, i London, are ever taken for God. it will nc be by slow bombardment of argumentatio or by regular unlimbering of great thee logical guns from the portholes of th churches, but by gallop of sudden assaul and rush of holy energy that will astoun and throw into panic the long lines of drille opposition armed to the teeth. Nothing s scares vhe forces of sin as a revival tha comes they know not whence, to do th*j which they cannot tell, to work in a wa that tfiey cannot undersiand. They will b overcome by flank movement. The churc qf God must double up their right or le! trine. If thev emect us from the North, w will take them from the South. If they es pect us at 12 o'clock at noon, we will com upon them at 12 o'clock at night. The oj pjrtuuities for this assault are great an numerous, but where are the men'? "I wii deliver thee 2000 horsps it thou be able t set riders upon them." The opportunities of savins America am saving the entire planet were never so man> never so urgent, neverso tremendousas now Have you not noticed the willingness of th printing press of the country to give the sut ject of evangelism full swing in column afte column? Such work was formerly confineto tract distribution and religious journalism Now the morning and evening newspapers by hundreds and thousands of copies, prin all religious intelligence and print mo* awakeningdiscourses. Neversincetheworl has stood has such a force been offered to al encaged in the world's evaugelization. 0 the more than 15,00 > newspapers on this con tinent I do not know one that is not alert t catch and distribute all matters of rellgiou information. Oh, now 1 see a mighty sug gestiveness in the fact that the first book c any importancethat was ever published afte Johann Gutenberg invented the art of print ing was the Bible. Well might that poo man toil on, polishing stones and mauufac turing looking glasses and making experi ments tbat brought upon him the charge o insanity and borrowing money, now fron Martin Brether and now from Johann Faust until he set on foot the mightiest power fo the evangelization of the world. The statu in bronze which Thorwaldsen erected fo Gutenberg in 1837 and the statue commemo raring bizn by David D'Angers in 1810 am unveiled amid all the pomp that mllitar; processions and German bands of best musi could give the occasion were insigniflean compared with the fact, to be demonstrate< before all earth and all neaven, that Joham Gutenberg, under God, inaugurated force which will yet accomplish the world s re demption. Tho newspaper press will yet announe Nations born in a day. The newspaper pres will report Christ's sermons yet to be de livered and describe His personal appaar ance, if, as some think. He shall come agaii to reign on earth. The newspaper press ma; yet publish Christ's proclamation of th< world's emancipation from sin and sorrow and death. Tens of thousands of good mei in this and other lands have been ordainec by the laying on of hands to preach the gos pel, but it seems to me that just now, by th laying on of the hands of the .Lord God A1 mighty, the newspaper presses are being or dnined for preaohing the Gospel with wide; sweep and mightier resound than we hav< ever yet imagined. The iron horses of th? printing press are all ready for the battle but where are the men good enough an< strong enough to mount them and guidi them? "I will deliver thee 2000 horses i thou be able to set riders upon them." Go out to the soldiers' home and talk witl the men who have been in the wars, and the; win give rignr appreciation 01 wnai is mi Importance of the cavalry service in battle You hear the clatter of the hoofs and thi whir of the arrows and the, clash of thi shields and the bang of the cdtnbines as the: ride up and down the centuries. Clear bacl lu time Osymandyas led 20,000 mounte< troops in Eactriana. Josephus says that whei the Israelites escaped from Egypt 50,001 cavalrymen rode through the paried Bee Sea. Three hundred and seventy-one year before Christ Epaminondas headed his troop at full gallop. Alexander, on a horse tha no other man could ride, led hi9 mountet troops. Seven thousand horsemen decidec the struggle at Arbela. Although saddles were not invented unti the time of Constantino, and stirrups weri unknown until about 450 years after Christ you hear the weighing and snorting of wa chargers in the greatest battles of the ages Austerliiz and Marengo and Solferino wer decided by the cavalry. The mounted Cos sacks re-enforced the Russian snowstoims ii the obliteration of the French army. Napo leon said if he had only had sufficient cav airy at Bautzen and Lutzen his wars woul< have triumphantly ended. I do not wonde that the Duke of Wellington had his old wa horse Copenhagen turned out in best pasture and that the Duchejs of Wellington wore i bracelet of Copenhagen's hair. Not one dro] of my blood but tingles as I look at tli arched neck apd pawing hoof and pantini nostril of Job's cavalry horse. "Hast thoi clothed his neck with thunder? He pawetl in the valley; he goeth on to meet the armei men. The quiver against him, the glitterin, spear and the shield. He saith among th trumpets, Ha. ha! and he smelleththe battl afar off. the thunder of the captains and th shouting." I think it is the cavalry of the Christiai hosts, the grand men and women who. wit] bold dash and holy recklessness and spu'rei on energies, are to take the world for God To this army of Christian service be long the evangelists. It ought to be th business of the regular churches to multipl them, to support them, to cheer them, t( clear the way for them. Some of them yo like; some of them you do not ltke. Yousai some are too sensational, and some of thee are not enough learned, and some of thee are erratic, and some of them are too vehe ment, and some of them pray too loud Oh, fold up your criticism and let them d that which we, the pastors, can never do. I like ail the evancelists I have ever see or hearu. They are busy now; they are bus every day of the week. While we.tlie pastor; serve God by holding the fortress of ri:?h1 eousness and drilling the Christian soldier and by marshaling anthens and sermons an ordinances on the right side, they are ou fighting the forces of darkness "hip au thigh, with great slaughter." All success t them! The faster they gallop the better like it. The keener the lances they flin? th more I admire them. We care not what cor ventionality they infract if they only gai the victory. Moody and Chapman and Mill and Jones and Harrison and Munhall an Major Cole and Crittenden and a hun ire others are now making the cavulry charg< and they are this moment taking New Yor and Philadelphia and Cincinnati fc God, and I wish they might take on Nation's capital.

In other words, we will hav only to average bringing two souls to Go during the next three years and our countr is redeemed.

There are the opportunities for a National and international oharge, all bridled and ? b saddled. Where are the riders to mount jJ( s them? . The cavalry suggests speed. When once . the reins are gathered into the hands of the ^ i soldierly horseman, and the spurs are struck y into the flanks, you hear the rataplan of tho ? b hoofs. "Velocity" is the word that describes h rr frhA mnTcmmif nftcfilflrntion. momentum, and i what we want in (retting into the kingdom of h 1 God is celerity. You see the years are so h - swift, and the weeks are so swift, and the 0 days are"so swift, and the honrs are so t - swift, and the minutes are so swift, h - we need to be swift. For lack of , r this appropriate speed many do not get into 0 heaven at all. Here we are in the last Sab- rL, b bath of the year. Did you ever know a twelve- . . month quioker to be gone? The goldenrod j of one autumn speaks to thegoldenred of the , a next autumn, and the crocus of one spring- ?t f time to the brocas of another springtime, and the snowbanks of adjoining years almost 1 reaoh each other in unbroken curve. We are y in too muoh hurry about most things. Busi3 ,ness men in too much hurry rush into spec. ulations that ruin them and fuin others. . 9 People move from place to place in too great 3 haste, and they wear out their nerves and f weaken the heart's action. But the oply ? thing in which they are afraid of being too je 1 hasty is the matter of the soul's salvation. Z0 i Yet did any one ever get damaged by too ?)( 3 quick repentance or too quick pardon or too t|( 1 quick emancipation? The Bible recom- gc s mends tardiness, deliberation and snail-like st, 9 movement in some things, as when it enjoins t us to be slow to speak and slow to wrath and at 1 slow to do evil, but it tells us, "The King's fa 1 business requireth haste," and that our days )e are as the flight of a weaver's shuttle and t0' 1 ejaculates: "Escape for thy life. Look not je b behind thee. Neither stay thou in all the ra t plain." Otner cavalry troops may fall back, q,, r but mounted years never retreat. They are <<] , always goinc ahead, not on an easy canter. pr 0 but at full run. Other regiments hear the , command of "Halt!" and pitch their tents 1 for the night. The regiments ot' the years . never hear the command of "Halt!" and . never pitoh tent for the night 3 The century leads on its troop of 100 r years, and the year leads on its troop of 365 r days, and the day leads on its troop of i 24 hours, and the hour leads on its troop of ja ii 60 minutes, and all are dashing out of sight. wj p Perhaps there are two years in which we are a e most lniere&ieu?our ursi ?uu our luai. nmu ej: ? up in our mother's arms, we watched the ^ a flight ot the first. With wondering eyes .we ar h all watch the coming or the last. The name <j a of that advancing year we cannot call. It rn K may be in the nineties of this century, it may th e be in the tens or twenties or thirties of the o next century, but it is coming at full gallop. f0 0 With what mood will we meet it? In jo- je, cosity, as did Thomas Hood in his last mo- w; 1 ment, saying, "I am dying out of charity to (i the undertaker, who wishes to earn a lively j Hood." Or in fear, as did Thomas Paine. I. saying in his last moment, "Oh. how I dread < this mysterious leap in the dark." Or in Si o boastfulness, as did Vespasian, saying in his y last moment, "Ah, methinks I am becoming a a god!" Or in frivolity, as did Demonax, u the infidel philosopher, saying in bis last f moment, "You may go home; the show is J . q over." Or conscience stricken, as did a Cnarles IX, of France, saying in his last mo- P~ s- tneut: "Nurse, nurse! What murder! What . blood!"

And the children's are the loudest." th Is Or like that of Dragonnatli, saying in bis d last moment: "Stand aside! I see my fathd er and my mother coming to kiss me." ), Or as did the dying girl who, having a iow ae k evenings before sat on a bench in a London w| ir mission, was teen to have tears of contrition bt ir rolling down her cheek, and who, departing th s from the room, had put in her hand by a y Christian woman a Bible, with the passage 3 marked, "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth d from all sin." Though having promised to u be at the next meetlnpr, she did 'iot come. th n The Christian woman who gave b sr the Bible .. i- was visiting the hospital, and the nurse said f to her: "I wish you had been here a little y while ago.

Ot y friends, if all right for the next world ie years cannot gallop past too rapidly. 1 were possible for the centuries to taka th ieed of the years, and the yeirs the 8pee the days, and the days the speed of th >urs, they could do us no harm.
