G. C. Clemens. Twi f Cousin, G. C. Clemens, of Topeka, Kan., the no ted constitu tional lawyer, who hears so striking a re semblance t o Mark Twain, ( Samuel B. Clemens) that he is frequent ly taken for the original Mark, is a man of deep intellect and wide experience. He is con sidered one of the foremost lawyers in this country. In a re cent letter to the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Mr. Clemens says: * * “Personal experience and obser vation have thoroughly satisfied me that Dr. Miles’ Nervine contains true merit, and is excellent lor what it is recom mended.” Mr.Norman Waltrip, Sup. Pres. Bank ers’ Fraternal Society, Chicago, says: MUeV Fain Pills are invaluable for headache and all pain. I had been a great sufferer from headache until I learned of the efficacy of Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills.

"Which hope.” There is an Atlantic ocean of depth and fullness in tin* verse from whirl) my text is taken, and 1 only wade Into the wave at the beach and take two words. We all have favorite words ex pressive of delight or abhorrence, words that easily find their way from brain to lip. words that have in them mornings and midnights, laughter and tears, thundwrholls and dewdr ps In all tin* lexicons and vocabularies there are few words that have for me the at tractions of the last word of my text. ••Which hope." There have in the course of our life been many angels of Cod that have looked over our shoulders, or met us on the road, or chanted tin* darkness away, or lifletl tin* curtains of the great future, or pulled us hack from Hit* precipices, or rolled d wn upon us die rapturous music of the heavens, but there is one of these angels who has done so much for us that we wish throughout till time and eternity to celebrate «t—the angel of Hope. St Paul makes it the center of a group < f three, saying. “Now abidetb faith, hope, charity.” And. though lie says that charity is the greatest of the three, he does not take one plume from the wing, or one my of luster from the brow, or one aurora from the cheek, or .me melody from the voice of the angel of my text. "Which hope.” That was a great night for our world when in a Bethlehem caravansary the infant Koval was born, and that will be a great night in tin* darkless of your soul when (’hristian hope is It a n. Th. re will be chanting in the skies and a siar pointing to the Nativity i will not boilicr you witli the husk of a deli aition and te!! you what hope is Y.'li *' wo sit down I.angry at a table, we do not want an analytical discourse as to what bread is Hand it on: pass il round; give us a slice of it John speaks of hope as a "pure hope:” Peter calls i! a “lively hope:" Paul styles it a "good hope," a "sure hope.’’ a "re joicing hope." And ail up and down tin* Bible it is spol>en of as an anchor, iis a harbor, as a helmet, as a door. Power of l!o|»e. When we draw a check on a bank, we must have reference to the amount of money we have depos it d. but Hope makes a draft on a bank in w .ich for her benefit ail heaven lias been depos ited. Hopei May it l.ght up every dungeon, stand by every sickbt d. loud a heiping hand to every orphanage, loosen every chum, caress every forlorn -.oul and turn the uupictuml room of the almshouse into the vestibule of heaven! How suggestive that mythol *gy declares that when all other deities iled the earth the goddess Hope re maiued! It was hope that revived John Knox when on shipboard near the coast of Scotland he was fearfully ill. and he was requested to look shoreward and asked if lie knew the village near the coast, anti he answered. "I know it well, for I see the steeple of that place where God tirst opened my mouth in public to ids glory, and 1 am fully per suaded Low weak that ever l now ap pear I shall not depait this life till my tongue shall glorify Ids holy name in the same place.” His hope was reward ed. and for twenty-live more years he preached. That is the hope which sus tained Mr. Morrell of Norwich when departing this life ai twenty-four year? of age In* declared. "I should like to understand the secrets of eternity be fore tomorrow morning.” Timt was the dnd of hope that (he corporal had in the battle whet:, after several slant’... bearers bad fallen, he seized the (lag and turned to a lieutenant coionei and said. "If ! fall, till my Ucai wif t! .n l die with a good hope in Christ and unit I am glad to give my life for my eouu try.” That was the good hope that Dr Goodwin had in bis la>l hour when he said: "Ah, is I s death? How have I dreaded as an enemy this smiling friend!” No better medicine did a man evti take than hope.

It expects relief; bereft, it expects reunion; clear down, it expects wings to lift; shipwrecked, it expects lifeboat; bankrupt, it expects eternal rlebes; a prodigal, it i .p/cts the wide open door of the father's farmhouse. It does not wear itself out by looking backward; it always looks forward^ What is tin* use of giving so much time to tlie rehearsal of the past? Your mis takes are not corrected by a review. Y'our losses cannot, by brooding over them, he turned Into gains. It is the future that has the most for us, and hope cheers us on. We have all com mitted blunders; but does the calling of the roll of them make them any the loss blunders? Look ahead In all mat ters of usefulness. However much you may have accomplished for God and the world's betterment your greatest usefulness is to come. "No,” says some one. "my health is gone.” "No," says some one; “my money is gone.” “No,” says some one; “the most of my years are gone and therefore my usefulness.” Why, you talk like an iufidel. Do you suppose that all your capacity to do good is fenced in by this lift ? Are you going to be a lounger anti a do nothing after you have quit this world? It is my business to tell you that your fac ulties arc to be enlarged and intensified and your qualifications for usefulness multiplied tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousa ndfold. Is your health gone? Then that Is a sign that you are to enjoy a celestial health compared with which tlie most jocund and hilarious vitality of earth is Invalidism. Are your fortunes spent? Remember, you are to lie kings and queens unto God. And how much more wealth you will have when you reign forever and ever! 1 want to see you when you get your heavenly work dress on. This little bit of a speck of a world we call the earth Is only the place where we get ready to work. We are only journeymen here, but will be mas ter workmen there. Heaven will have no loafers hanging around. The book says of the inhabitants. “They rest not day nor night.” Why rest when they work without fatigue? Why seek a pillow when there is no night there? 1 want to see you after the pedestrianism of earth has been exchanged for power of (light and velocities infinite and en terprises interstellar. Interworld. I suspect that the telescope of that observatory brings in sight constella tions that may comprise ruined worlds which need looking after and need help saintly and missionary. There may be worlds that, like ours, have sinned and need to be rescued, perhaps saved by our Christ or by some plan that God has thought out for other worlds as wise, as potent, as lovely as the*atone- meut is for our world. The laziness which lias cursed us in this world wi.l not gain the land of eternal activities— so much tonic in tin* air, so much in spiration in tlie society, so much achievement after we get the shackles of the flesh forever off. Do not dwell so much on opportunities past, hut put your emphasis ou opportunities to come. Our Real Beginnlm;. Am I not right in saying that eterni ty can do more for us than can time? What will we n it be able to do when our powers of locomotion shall he quickened into the immortal spirit's speed? Why should a bird have a swiftness of wing when it is of no im portance how long it shall take to make its aerial way from forest to for est and we, who have so much more Important errand in the world, get on so slowly? The roebuck outruns us. the hounds are quicker in the chase, but wait until God lets us loose from all limitations and hlnderments. Then we will fairly begin. The starting post will be the tombstone. Leaving the world will be graduation day before the chief work of our mental and spir itual career. Hope sees the doors open ing. the victor's foot in stirrup for the mounting. The day breaks—tirst flush of the horizon. The mission of hope will be an everlasting mission, us much of it in the heavenly hereafter as in the earthly now. Shall we have gained all as soon as we enter realms celestial — nothing more to learn, no other heights lo climb, no new anthems to raise, a monotony of existence, the same thing over and over again for endless years? No! More progress in that world than we ever made in this. Hope will stand on the hills of heaven and look for ever brightening land scapes. other trunsQguruiions of color, new glories rolling over the scene, new celebrations of victories in other worlds, heaven rising into grander heavens, seas of glass mingled with fire, becoming a more brilliant glass mingling with a more flaming fire. “Which hope.” Now. let me Introduce this feeling into the lives of some who are at times hopeless. There is a family whose son has gone wrong. Father and mother have about given him up, he stvms so j headlong, so ungrateful, so dissipated, ! and tlie old folks do not know half the story of moral precipitation. He lias I ceased writing home, but they hear of , liim through people who like to carry bad news, and evety time the report is more deplorable.

He said: "No; 1 want a n* r e t uiversa- tlon with you at v< m* own house. When can 1 come?” t said. "T< mor row night.” "Your unine," 1 asked. He gave me Ids name, the exact name of Ids father. \vl. -< mu was known and is known tlir.iugo t i * <'hi istian world, though yt a - ago he d jiaited tlds lift*. Returning Imuie I took up a book of which his father was * he au thor. and in the picture at tl> opening of the hook l found that cue young man had most markedly ids father’s features. So I was sure there was no deception. Forjfivr flip nopentnnt. On tin* following evening he came. He said that lie was the black sheep of the family dock. He had wandered the world over and been in all kinds of wickedness, but a few nights before, after reading a letter from ids mother In Scotland, he had retired for sleep, hut in the adjoining room he heard some young men in such horrible con versation he could not sleep. He was shocked as In* had never before been by the talk of bad men. He arose, struck a light, took out the letter I'rotu Ids mother and knelt down by his bed side and said. "() Lord God of my moth er, have mercy on me!” He s;_id that since that prayer he was entirely chang- j ed and loved what In* before hated, and J hated what he before loved, and asked j what I thought it all meant. I replied, “You have become a Christian." He j said ho might be called at any time to leave the city. 1 never saw him again. < but it seemed to me that lie had turned ! his back upon Ids wicked past-and had started in tlie right direction. And it j may be so with your hoy. Write him often. Tell him how you are all think ing of him at home, and it may be. your letter in hand, lie may call upon his mother’s God to help and save him. Hope, you of the gray hairs and wrin kies! Heaven has its thousands of souls who were once as thoroughly wrong as your boy is. They repented, and they are with the old folks in the healthy air of the eternal hills, where they have become young again. Hope on, and, though you may never hear of your son’s reformation and others may think he has left this life hopeless, who knows but that in the last moment, after he lias ceased to sjioak and before his soul launches away, your prayer may have been answered and he In* one of the first to meet you at the shining gate. The prodigal in the parable got home and sat down at the Last, while the elder brother, who never left the old place, stood pouting at tin* hack door and did not go in at all. To another class of persons I intro duce the angel of H pc. anti they are the invalids. 1 cannot take the diagno sis of your disorder, but let hope cheer you with one of two thoughts. Such marvelous cures are being wrought iu our day through medication and sur gery that your inva'klism may yet lie mastered. I’ersons as ill as you have got well. Cancer and tuberculosis will yet give way before some new discov ery. I see every day people strong and well who not long ago I saw pallid and leaning heavily on a staff and hardly able to climb stairs. Tlie Perfect Life to Come. But if you will not take the hand of Hope for earthly convalescence let me point you to the perfect body you are yet to have if you love and serve the Lord. Death will put a prolonged au- Histhetie upon your present body, and you will never again feel an acbe or pain, and then in his good time you will have a resurrection body, about which we know nothing except that it will be painless and glorious beyond all present appreciation. What must be the health of that laud which never feels cut of cold or blast of float and where there is no east wind sowing pneumonias on the air. your fleetuess greater than the foot of deer, your eye sight clearer than eagle iu sky. perfect health, in a country where all the in habitants are everlastingly well! Y'ou who have in your body an encysted bulict ever since tlie civil war; you who have kept alive only by precautions and self denials and perpetual wateb- Thosc pessimists do not realize that two Inventions of our thin r«* going to ii'iikc it j ■- id* iindrr < - i > bring tlds whole worlil Into solvable n :d mil lennial cntulit on wiihiii n few weeks after those two inventions siut i be turned into the service of C<*d and righteousness, as they will lx*. 1 refer to the telcgiaph and the telephone. If you think that GkI allowed tho.-e two inventions to he made merely to get rapid information concerning the price of railroad stocks or to call up a friend and make with him a business engage ment. you have a very abbreviated idea of what can be done and will be done with those two instruments. The in telligence of tlu world is to be expand ed, and civilization will overcome bar barism, and illiteracy will be extirpat ed, and the promise will be literally ful filled—"a nation born in a day.” Let I lope say to the foreboding: “Do all yen can with Bible and spelling book and philosophic apparatus, but toil with the sunlight In your faces or your efforts will be a failure. The pal lor in the sky is not another phase of the night, but the first sign of ap proaching day, which is as sure to come as tonight will he followed wi*h tomorrow. Things are not going t > ruin. The Lord's hosts are not going to he drowned in the Red sea of trou ble. Miriam's timbrel will play on tlu* high hanks ‘Israel Delivered.’ High hope for the home! High hope f< r the church! High hope for the world!” I introduce the angel of Hope to those who have through disease lost i Christian friends. “How could I find them,” says a bereft soul, "up there in the land of the multitudinous?" You may find them by inquiry, by heavenly escort and by unfailing memory of thq guard at the gate. "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. having the glory of God. and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a Jasper stone, clear as crystal, and had a wall great and high ami had twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels.” So you see there will be an angel guarding each gate. As you go in ask the armed guard. IP* saw your loved one pass thioiigli and will know the di rection to take and by what fountain or in what street of gold is the man sion prepared. The hie* tU Christ knows where your departed li ved one is. and he will tell you if no one else will. Fifty ways of finding out the whereabouts of your ascended one. “lint will 1 surely know him when 1 get there, for he will be so changed?” Y'cs, for you will be just as much changed, and the old affinity will its- sert itself. . The soul will be as easily distinguished by s nil there as on earth the body is distinguished Ly the body. Cultivate Hope. Open that closed iustruincut of mu sic* in your parlor that has not been played ou since the hand of the depart ed player forgot its cunning. l‘ut up before you on the music board the notes of the hymn of Isaac Watts and sing. “There Is a Land of I’ure De light;” or James Montgomery’s hymn, “Who Are These In the Bright Array?” or Filmure Bennett's “Sweet Bye and Bye;” or “Jerusalem the Golden.” Take some tune in the major key—“Ariel” or “Mount 1’isgah.” While you play and sing the angel of Hope will stand by you and turn the leaves and join iu the rapturous rendering. Reunion, with the loved and lost! Everlasting reunion! No farewell at the door of any man sion! No goodby at any of the twelve gates! No more dark apparel of mourn ing, but white robe of exultation! Hope now is ou its knees with face up lifted, but Hoik* there will be on tiptoe or beckoning you to follow, saying: “Come and hear the choirs sing! Come and see the procession inarch! Come and see the river of life roll! Come with me over the hills that rise into everlasting heights.” Celestial Alps and Himalayas hoisted into other Alps and Himalayas! From this hour cultivate hope. Do so by reading all the Scriptural promises of the world s (•(lining Edenization. and doubt if you dare the veracity of the Almighty when he says he will make the desert roseate, and the leopard and . .. ^ J ii 1 HE WORLD'S GREATEST FEVER MEDICINE.
