Talmaive returned from his southern tour of preach ing and lecturing for ten days ill Ken tucky, Tennessee, Alabama, (;eorgia and South Carolina, and resumed l1s coursq of sermions oil God everywhere. 11aving preached on "The Astronomy of the Bible; or, God among the Stars;" "The Chronology of Ite Bible: or, God among the Ciituries;' "Tie Ornithology of' the Bible; or God Amiong the Birds," lie today speaks of "The Precious Stones of the Bible; or, (vod Amonlg the Anie thysts.'' Subject, "The Wall of i-lea ven." Text, Itelation xYi, 19, "The foundations of the N all of IIi city were garnished with all manner of precious stones." Shall I be fratik and tell you whit are my designs oi l ol todlav ''hey are to make you homesick for heaven; to con It 11 sole you concerning your depa licd he' Chiistiani friends by givin11 yu so11 C idelt of the brilliancy of the sceIes in which they 11ow collillill"le; to -ive all who love tle Lord a imol e elevated idea as to where they ie going to pass the most of the years of their existence, und to set all the indliflereit and( ne,-lectlful to ulick and inmeditfe preparatio-i, that, they 11111y have it likewise. Yea, it is to ;.uduie llaliy ot our youn'l .people to study a volume of God tlia few ever open, but without some ac (ua1intplice w1i1 which it is impossiible to understanid the Bible-] mean the prec 1o1s s.,caes, their crystallization, their powers of refraction, their cleavage, their fracture, their luster, their phos phoresence, their transparency, their ii finity of color Aind shape, and what they had to do with the welfare aid0 doom of familles and the destilly of nations-aye, the posiLive revelation they lake of God himself. My text slands us in the presence ,o the most stupendous splendor of the universe, and that is the wall of' heaven, and SayS of Its lfllidlition that they aire garnished with all manner of precious stomes. All the anicient cities had walls For safety, anild heaven hims a1 wall for everlasting safety. You may say that a wall Made up ofall mnlinler oif precious stoles is lig altive, but you catinot lun derstand the force and sigiictiice of the figure unless you know something about tle real structure and color anld vialuie of the precious stones mentioned. Now I propose this mining, so far as the Lord may help me, to tttempt, to climb not, t,he wall of heaven, but the fountlations of the wall, an( I ask you to join m1lie in the attelipt to scale somlie of the heights. We shall only get part of t,he way up, but better that than to stay down on the sf1upid level where most of u1s have all our lives been stand ing. We begin clear (own at Lhe hot tom and where the wall begins. The first layer of the h>011dation, reaching all tiround tih city :md for 1,500 miles, is a layer ofjasper.

'.I'li1 '100,000,000 victims of opium cono out to meet the 150,000,000 vic tims of alcohol, and the two agents take the contract for tumbling the human race into perdition, but whether they will succeed in fulfilling the contract depends on the actiou of the amethys tine cups, the amethystine demijohns, the amethystine ele pitchers, the ame thystine flagons, the amethystie wine cellars. Oh, .Persians! Oh, Assyriaisl Ol,Greoksl Oh, Egyplieusl you were wrong in thinking that a cup of ame thyst would prevent Inebriation. But standing on the top of this ame thystine layer of the foundation of the wall of heaven I bethink myself of the mistake that many of the ancient Ile brews nade whe'i they thought that the a' i-I iyst vas a producer of pleas .-t dieams. Jist wear a piece of aie thyst over your heart or put it under your pillow, and you would have. y(( dreamis filled with everythifbeauti ful and et r. itcing. INGirijo. The style of pillow will M flecide t'ie character of tUvain. The only recipe for pler;. AVI dreams is to do right and think right when you are wide awake. Coa ditiot;s of physical dNease way h-ve a good man a nightimare,;but a man phy sically well, if he be"ve h1iself aright, will itot he- troubled with bad dreams. .NebuchIadnezzar, with eagle's down under his head and Tyrian p' --ple over it, struggled with a bad drem that made him shrie" out for the soothshy ers and astrolo.,ers to come and inter. piet it. .1lharaoh, amid the marble pal nees of Memphinils, was confounded by a dream in which lean cows ato up tile I.at cows, and the small ears of corn de. vour I tho ovei large ears, and awful ta ninti was p.efige-ed. Pilate's wife, aitiid clottds of rich' -t upholstery, had a startli ig dreamu, because of which she sent a message in hot he9te to a court rooni to kf op her hit >and from enact ing a judicial outrage. .it Jacob, at JI ethel, with a pillow of mountain rock, had a blissful dream of the ladder an gel hloFsoning. Dmiiyan. with his head on a hard plank of Mk Ilford jail, saw the gates of the celestial city. St. .John, on the bar renest island of the Egean sea, in his dI e.; n heard trumpets andnsaw cavalry ii-i on white horses and a new heaven and a new earth. No amount of rough pillow can disturb the night vision of a sainlt, and no amoiunt of' amethystine charm can delectate the dream of a miscreant. But, some one Vill say, why have you brought us t o this amiethyst, the top row of the foundat ion of' the heavenly wall, if you are not able to accept the theory of the aiciet it. eeks, who said that, the amet lyst was a clarim against intoxication, or if yot are not willing to accept the I hwory of the ancient lie brews that. the ainuthyst, was a produc er of pleasant dreams?
