So Solomon, be oie stroke. sot forth the
imperial charactor of a true ChriStian wom:m.
She is not a slave, not a hireling. not a sub
ordinate, but a queen: and in my text S lo
mon sees sixty of these helping to mako up3
the royal pageant of Jesus. In a former ser
mon I showed you that crown and courtly
attendants and imperial wardrobe were not
necesary to make a queen: but t hat graces
of the heart and life will give coronation to
any Woman. I showed you at some lengt i
that woman's position was higher in t he world
than na's, and that although she had often
been deniedl the right of sultrag,. she alvays
did vote and always would vote by her intlu
ence: and that lier chief desire ou;:ht to be
that she should have gra-e righ t'y to rule in
the dominion which she has alreta.lyv won. I
began an enumeration of some of her rights.
and this morning I resumae the su bj:-t.
In the iirst place. wonan has the special
and the superxlative righr-no agatin going
back to what I have alratdy said -woman
has thespeeal and superlitive right of bless

I think the mxost pathetic passage in all the
Bible is the descriotion of the lad n% hu went
out to the har' e:t field of :huiei and got
sunstruck-throwig his hands on histenples
and crying out: - Uh, my head : my heal :"
and they said "Carry him to his mother."
And then the record is: " H sat on her knees
till noon, and then die.L" It is an awful
thing to b.- ill away from home in a strante
hotel, once in a wiile men coming in to look
at you. hd ing thoir hand over their mouth
for fear they will catch the contagioL How
roughly they turn you in bed. How louily
they talk. How you long for the ministries
of Lome. I knew one such who went away
from one of the brightest of hones for
several weeks' business absence at th? West.
A telegram came at midnight that he was
on his acath bed, far away trom home. By
expr-es train the wife and daughters went
westw ard: but they went too late. le feared
not to die. but he was in agony to live until
his family got there. 'Ie tried to bribe
the doctor to make him live a litt~e
while longer. He -aid: "I anm willing to die
but not altone." But the pulses ilutterel,'the
eves closed. and the heart stoppe . The ex
press tran:i. met in the midnight: wife and
danghters going westward-feless remains
of husband and father co:iniig e-stwalrd. 0,
it was a sad, pitiful, overwhelnting
spectacle! When -we are sick we walt
to be back at home. When the
time conies for us to die, we want tc
die at home. The room may be very
humble, and the faces that look it')
ours may be very plain: but who cares for
that: Loving hands to bithe the temples.
Loving voices to speak good cheer. Loving
lips to read the comforting promises of Jesas.
In our last drea-dful war men cast the can
non: men frahioned the musketry: men cried
to the hosts: "Forward, march:" men hurled
their battalons on the sharp edges of the
enemy. er.ing: "Charge: char::e? but woman
scraped the lint: woman administered the
cordials; woman watched by the dying
couch: woman wrote the last message to the
home circle: wvoman wept at the solitary
burial attended by herself and four men with

with brass bands, and tritmiphial arches,

Nate's Seal Hunt Of Newfoindland.
"Then von are realif going, Nate?'
said an old lady in the kitchen of a
humble house in St. Johns, Newfound
land.
"Yes, grandmother," said Nate Far
fley; "Cap'n Scoresby said he could
give me something to d- on board the
steamer. H a, grandmother, I t.d him
if I was a boy I was big enough to pick
t up a small sea!, anyway. He laughed."
"Any other boy going?"
"Shouldn't wonder. Obed Jones is
going."
"I don't like Obed."
How culd she like a lazy, fighting,
swearing boy?
"Oh, well, grandmother, I needn't
have anything to do with him."
"As little as possible, I h-pe."
Grandm- ther 'arley, with whom
-Nate lived, now left the little kitchen,
and slowly climbed the stairs leading
to her snug chamber under the roof.
When she came down she held in her
hand a small bo k.
.Thero, Nate," said the old lady, "is
t your grandmother's little bible, and 1
want you to take it with you and read
- it every day."
"I will, grandmother."
"They say the steamer you go in has
s a sheathing of armor to protect her
0 against the ice."
"Yes, grandmother."
"Well, I want to give you an armoi
a that will help you ward off bad influ
a ences you may meet."
- "I will read it every day."
I Nate Farley and Obed Jones were:
going off in a steamer after seals. The
vessel was peculiarly equipped for her
I work among the ice-fields, where she
would find the seals so desirable as
booty. While the steamer was sheathed
r :with heavy armor, the prow was a:
strong steel wedge that would go crash
ing through tile ice. If the latter tried
to soneeze the steamer, in return for
Sthis'stab with her penetrating prow of
steel, there was the heavy armor to re
~sist any such embrace. It is desirable:
that a~ seal-vessel shall be roomy, to
bring home as muich prey as possible,
and a big vessel can stow away from
thirty to thirty-tive thousand seals.
SShe must have a big force to capture sc
many, and a big ship will have a crew
numbering from two hundred to two;
hundred and fifty men. Everything at:
Slast was ready for the voyage, and
e Nate and Obed stood on the steamer's:
deck, eagerly waiting for the hour of
ideparture.
t'Cast off there!" came the final or
s der, and the steamer's engines began:
I to pant and tug. The harbor of at.
1 Jons was quickly traversed by this
C energetic seal-hunter, and before her
was the w.'de, open sea, its blue waves:
tufted with crests, white as the snows
-of .ianuarv. The Inst thing in the
.world that a sip1 sometimes wishes tc
see is ice, but when the lcokout non

It was morninug, and Nate was read

enjoy the sight of another's reading.
It 'as a rebuke to his own negloet.

who knew well enough, if he now left,

Obed did not fancy this reply.
"Nonsense, parson: Come out!"
e "Will, very soon," repl ed Nate.
s Obed was now angry.
"There!" lie saidi, step)ping iip to
Nate. "Let the old look go!"'

.Nate's c-heek. He looked up), looked at
Dick, and then read on.
. When he went out to see the ice, hie
ihad an almndance of time to look at it.
- One vast field of ie. stretching far as
the vision reaiched, was before the

.iieir feet they wore boots of sea'skin.
The soles were raw, and the men were
kept from slipping, even as the former
lunsy owners of the skins when alive.
The booty was so abundant that the
biunters went to work engerly. But
ate, where was he? Trying his Land

imbitions mood, but where?
"Where is Obed?" thought Na-e.
Don't see him anywhere."

zunters and conquered his first scal,

"It is just beyor.d that hammock of

buge mass of crystal rising up out of
thA floe. Runnng behind the hun

ater. A big, wounded seal was niak

Obed's scresns brought two others,
