If it gets hilt one glimpse of tiie s< hunter, it puts many erags between, s Solomon, four or five limes, compares is Christ to an Arabian gazelle (calling it hy another name) when lie says: ".My u beloved is like a roe." The difference is, s that the roc speeds the other way; Jesus \\ speeds this. Who but Christ could have been quick enough to have helped Peter, s< when the* water-pavement broke? Who s but Christ could have been quick enough b to help the IIuko of Argyle, when, in his o dying moment, he cried : "(Jood cheer I l> could die like a Roman, hut I mean to a die like a Christian.

If the train did not II eonic up in time with the ammunition, it d; might as well not come at all. So, my (I friends, there aie times in our lives when is we must have help immediately or perish, w The grace, that comes too late is no grace in at all, What yon and I want is a God? ; a* now. Oh! is it not blessed to think that la /?od is always in such quick pursuit of j II his dear children? When a sinner seeks j ii pardon, or a batlled soul needs help, j X swifter than thrush's wing, swifter than , th ptarmigan's wing, swifter than Ham- of mgo's wing, s viflcr than eagle's wing, M are the wings of the Almighty. sti I remark further, carrying out the idea m; ot mv text, the wings under which Ruth lev had come to trust were \ei'y broad wings, ra Thero have lioen eagles shot on the an Rocky Mountains with wings that were wl seven feet from tip to tip. When the | ro king of the air s;ls on the crag, the wings i th are spread over all the eaglets in the | wi eyrie, and when the eagle starts from ! th the rock, the shadow is like the spread- I A ing of a storm cloud. So the wings of|do God arc hroad wings. Ruth had been in: under those wings in her infantile days; j * in the days of her happy girlhood in se Moab; 111 the. day when she gave her 1 eo hand to Mahlon, in her lirst marriage: in i is the day when she wept oves his grave; ha c day when she trudged out Into the iMcrtiCo* of poverty; in the thus when ic picked up the few straw a of barley oppod by ancient custom in the wav ol c jioor.

The prophet . says so: ''Though tliou exalt thyself i stars, yet will I bring thce^ihJwn^sauff . the J,ord of Hosts." Under tho swift wlugs, under the l>rond wings, under the strong wings, under the gentle wings of the Almighty, find shelter until these calamities be overpast. Then when you I want to change nests, it will only bo from the valley of earth to the heights of heaven; and instead of "the wings of a dove," for which David longed, not knowing that iu tho first milo of their flight they would give oaf, you will be conducted upward by the Rord Godot Isrcal, under whose wings Ruth, the beautiful Moabitess, came to trust God forbid that in this matter of eternal weal or woe we should be more stupid than the fowls of heaven; "for the stork knowcth her appointed time; and the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow, observe the time of their going; but my people know not the judgments of the I .Ol d."

It was just as ttre bill was - about to be completed that Senator Buti ler proposed to place cotton bagging on * the free list. Under the agreement lie ! was not allowed to discuss his proposl j t'on, hut he cleverly managed to remind (> | the Senate that it had given relief to the .
