In this ditcourso Dr. Talmago would lift pooplo out of despoodonoi end bring somethingof futuro joy into oarthly depression. Tho text is lit brews vi, 19, "Which hopo." Thero is en Atlentio oooan of depth end fullnofs in tho vrrso from which my toxt is taken, end 1 only wedo into tho wevo et tho boaoh and tako two words. Wo ell havo favorito words ex prcsHivo of delight or ebhorronoo, words that easily find their way from brain to lips, words that havo ia thctu rnoruings end midnights, laughter end tears, thunderbolts end dowdrops. In ell tho lexioons end vocabularies there era few words that havo for mo tho attractions of tho last word of my toxt, "Whioh hopo." Thoro havo in tho oourso of out life boon many angols of God that havo looked over our shoulders, or mot us on tho road, or ohantcd tho darknoss away, or liftod tho ourtains of tho groat future, or pulled us baok from tho proolpioes, or rolled down upon us tho iapturous music of tho heavons, thoro is ono of thoso angols who has doDO so much for us that wo wish throughout ell timo end ell eternity to oolobreto it -?tho augol of Hopo. St Daul makes it tho ocntor of a group of throe, seyirig "Now abidoth faith, hopo, charity." And, though ho says that oharity is tho groatost of tho throo, ho docs not tako one plumo from tno wing, or ono ray of luster from tho brow, or ono aurora from tho ohook, or ono melody from tho voioo of tho angol of my toxt, "Whioh hopo." That was a great night for our world when in ? Botblehcui caravansary tho Infant lloyal wai born, and that will bo a great night in Iho darkuos-> of your eoul when Christian hopo is born. Thoro will be chanting in tho skies aid a star pointing to tho Nativity. 1 will not bother you with tho busk of a do finition and tell you what hopo is When we flit down hungry at a tablo, wo do not want an analytical disoourao as to what broad is, Hand it on; pass it round: give us a slioo of it. John Bpcaks of hopo as a "puro hopo." Potor calls it a "livoly hopo." Paul styles it a "good hopo," a "euro hopo," a ,4rojoioing hope." All up and down tho Biblo it is spoken of aB an anchor, as a harbor, a8 a holrnot, as a door. Whon wo draw a ohook on a bank, wo must have roforonoe to tho amount of monoy wo havo dopositod, but Hopo makoB a draft on a bank in whiah for her boneht all hoavon has boon deposited. Hope! May it light up ovory dunioon, stand by ovory siokbod. loud a helping hand to ovcry orphanago, loosen ovory ohain, oarots ovory forlorn bouI and turn tho unpioturod room of tho almshouse into the vostibulo of hoavon 1 How suggostivo that mythology doolaros that whon all other doilies flod tho eaith tho goddess llopo remained! It was hnnn itiaf rnvivnfl -Tftln when ou shipboard near the ooant of Sootlaud ho was fearfully ill, and ho was requested to look shoroward and naked if ho know the villago near tho ooast, and ho anaworcd, "I know it woll, for I see tho 6tccplo of that place whoro God first oponed my mouth in publio to his glory, and 1 am fully porBuadod how weak that ever I now ap poar 1 shall not depart this life till my tongue shall glorify his holy namoin tho same place." Uis hopo was ro wardod, and for twonty fivo moro yearB ho proachod. That is tho hopo whioh sustained Mr. Morroll ofNorwioh when departing this life at twenty four yoars of ago ho declared, "I Bhould liko to understand tho soorots of etoroivy bo foro tomorrow morning." That was tho kind of bopo that tho oorporal had in tho battlo whon, aftor sovoral standard bearers had fallon, ho sriz. id tho flag and turned to a lioutonant oolonol and raid, "If I fall, tell my dear wife that 1 dio with a grod hopo in Christ and that 1 am glad to givo my lifo <\u my oountiy." That wan tho good hopo that Dr. Goodwin had in his last hour whonhosaid: "Ah, is this death? llow have I droadod as an onomy this srnil ing friend!" Many havo full assuranco that all is right with tho soul. Thoy aro aa euro of hoavon as if thoy had passed tho poarly panels of tho gato, a* thouvh thov woro alroady scaled in tho tomplo of God unrolling tho librotto of tho heavonly chorister. I oongratulato all suoh. I wish I had it, toe?full aaeurano??but with mo it is hopo. "Whioh hopo." Sinful, it oxneots forcivennan! troubled, it expoots roliof; bereft, it expoots rounion; oloar down, it ex poots wings to lift; shipwrecked, it expects lifeboat; bankrupt, it oxpoots eternal riohos; a prodigal, it expoots the wido opon door of the father's farmhouse. It doos not wear itself out by looking baokward; it always lookfl forward. What is tho uso of giving bo much timo to tho rehearsal of tho past? Your mistakes aro not corrooted by a review. Your lossos oannot, by brooding over them, bo turnod into gains. It is the futuro that has tho most for us, and hope ohoors us on. Wo havo all oommitted blunders, but doos tho oalling of tho roll tf them wako thorn any the less blunders? Look ahoad in all matters of usefulness, llowovor much you may havo accomplished for Qod and tho world's bottermont, your greatest usefulness is to ccmo. "No," says some one, "my health is gone," ''No," says eomo one, "my money is gone." "No," eays somo ono, "the most of my years aro gono and therefore my usefulness." Why, you talk like an infidel. J)o you supposo that all your oapaoity to do good is fenoed in by this lifo? Aro you going to bo a loungor and a do nothing after you havo quit this world? It is my business to toll you that your faculties aro to be enlarged and intensified and your qualifications for usefulnoss multiplied tonfold, a hundrodfold, a thousandfold. Is your health gono? I hen that is a sign that you aro to oDjoy a oolostial health oomfared with which tho most joound and hilarious vitality of earth is invalidism. Aro your fortunes spent? Remember you aro to be kings and queens unto God and how much more wealth you will have when you reign forover and evor. I want to see you when you got your heavenly woik dress on.

Both trains wcro made up ci v stibnlo oaiH of tbo heaviest kind, and whilo thoy ttojd tho terrific shook well and protcoied tho passengers to a great ox tent, several of oars took firo at onco and burnod up. Th? dining oars, odg ou caoh train, ono Pullman and two ooDDpcsito oars wcro destroyed. Tho collision is said to have boon duo to ^disregard of orders by the orcw of tho west boucd train, though full particulars on this point arc as yet laoking. From all accounts, however, it iB gathered that tho east bound train had orders to tako tho biuing at Franoonia and await tho passing of tho wosl bound flyer, whioh was running two hours laio, sod tiyin t to ruako up timo. Tho oabt bound tram failed to roach. tho siding, and, ai tho west bound train did not wait for it, too two lratun oamo together without warning and with an awful crash. Tho boiler of fho west bound ongino is said to tiavo exploded immediately after tho crash, ioi!d'.ng to doath tlioso of the engine orow who had not boon killou outright. A soono of awful c nfucion followed. Tho massivo ougiaca piled up in an indescribable mass of broken and t Aistcd stool, whilo tho to.ildmg s eam huog in a donso, suffocating olould over tho debris, from whioh tho agonizing orics jf Lho injured and dying engineer could bo hoard. Tho K.i^vy Pullmans and oomposito oarn jammed the din.ng and baggage oars upon tho hoatcd pi to of tlobris, carrying death to tho dining car orown and Dotting the cars afiro. From tho ineagro dotal) a of tho eocuos ;athcrod from tho pa9?oogtri, it in learned that tho stooping ots, with ouc 3r two exooptione, suffered dightly, ir.d a? a roault tho passenger* wero af forded comparative immunity from injury.
