Text: "Rejoice because yonr names aro
written in heaven."?Luke i., 20.
Chtrography, or the art ot handwriting,
like tho eoionce of acoustics, Is In very unsatisfactory
state. While constructing a
church, and told by some architects that the
voice would not be heard in a building shaped
like that proposed. I onmo in muob anxiety

Henry, of tho Smithsonian Institution, about
tho Inw of acoustics. He said. "Gk> ahead
and build yoar ehurch In tho shape pro*
i)osojJ, and I think it will be all righf. I
have studied the lawn ot^ionnd perhaps more
than any man of my time, and I have aoine
so far as this Two auditoriums may seem to
be exactly alike, and in one the uaouitics
may bo good and iu tho other bad. In the
same uusalisiucterv stage is chirography,
although inufty declare thoy have reduced it
to a science. There aro those who say thoy
cm read character by handwriting. It Is
said thai the way one writes the letter "I"
decides his egotism or modesty, nud the way
one writes the letter "0" decides tho height
and depth of ills emotions. It is declared a
cramped hand means a cramped nature, and
au cosy, llowing hand a fuoilo und liocr.il
spirit; but If there be anything I u this scleuite,
there mild be some rules not yet announced,
for some of the boldest uud most aggressive
men have a delicate und small r.enrnuu-liip.
while some of the most timid sign their
names with the height and width and scope I
of the name of John Hancock 011 1 lie iminor- '
tal document. Utlt While the ehlr.>i?r?n!?u
of the ?*n.rtIt is uucenaip, our blessed L >ril
in our text presents tho ehirography celestla'.
Wher addrosslug the seventy disciples
standing before Him. Ilesaid ltejoice because
your names are written'in heaven."
Of ours?*. the Bible, for th? most |iurl.
when speukiug of tbo heavenly world, speaks
figuratively whllo talking about books and
nhout trumpets, and about wings un<l about
gatis and about golden pavoments and about
orchards with twolvo crops of fruit?one
crop each mouth?and about the white
horses of heaven's cavalry: but wo do well to
follow out these inspired metaphors and reap
from tbom courage und sublime expectation,
and consolatlou and victory. Wo aro told
that in the heaveuly library there is a Book
of Life. Torhnpj there are many volumes in
it. When we say a book, we menu all written
by the author on thai subject. I cannot
tell how lurgo those heavenly volumes are,
nor the splendor of their binding, nor the
number of their pages, nor whether they are
pictorialized wiilt some exeitingjscouesof this
world. I only know that the words hnvo not
been impressed by type, but written out by
some hand, and that all those who, like the
seventy disciples to whom tho text was
spoken, repent and trust tho Lord for their
eternal salvat on, surely have their names
written in heaven. It may not be Uio same
name mat wo carried on eartn. Wo may,
through thi iucousidorutenoss of parents,
havo a narno that is uncouth, or that was
afterward dishonored by one after whom wo
were called. I do not know that the seventy
entrances of the names of the seventy disciples
correspond with the record in the
genealogical table. It may not be the name
by which wo were called on oartb, but it will
be the name by which heaven will know us,
an 1 we will have it announced to us as wo
pass iu, and we will know it so certainly that
wo will not have to be called twice by it, as
in tbe Bible times the Lord called some people
twioe by name: "Saul! Saul!" "Samuel!
Samuel'." "Martha! Marth"!"
In examination of your name in the
heavenly arohivee, it you And tt there at
al', you will And it written with a bold ban4.
You have seen many a signature that because
of slcknoss or old age had a tremor in it. yet
it was as bold as the mau who wrote it.
. Many an order written on tflO battlefield and ~
amid the thunder tff^the cannonade has had
e'rttjence of oxcltefnont' in every word aud
everTTbttBVM^kfn tho speed with which it
was folded ahd handed to tho officer as he
put his foot in tho swift stirrups, and yet
tint commaudor, notwithstanding bis trembling
band, gives a boldness of order that
shows ltsolf in every word written. You do
not m od to bo told that a trembling hand
does not always mean a cowardly hand. It
was with a very trembling hand Charles
Carroll, of Carrolltou, signed his name to
tho Declaration of American Independence,
but no signer luid more courage and when
someone said, "There "are many Charles
Carrolls, ami it will not bo known which one
it Is." he resumed tho pen and wrote Char.es
Carroll of Carrollton. Trembling band no
sign of timidity. The'daring an l defiance
seen iu tho way your name is written m
heaven is a challenge to all earth and hell to
come on if they can to dofeat your ransomed
nou'.
Again, ii nccording to the promise of tho
text, you are permittol to look into the
volumes of eternity and see your name there,
you will Ami it written in linos, In words, iu
letters unmistakable. Some pooplo have
come to consider indistinct and almost unreadnlde
penmanship a mark of gcnlu', and
so thov alTeet it. Because every narngranh
thnt Thomas Chalmers, nn.l Dwt Stanley,
ami Lord Byron, and Kufus Chonte utul
other potent men wrote was a puzzle, imita- |
tors make their penmanship a puzzle. Alex- i
ander Dumas suys that plain penmanship Is |
tlio brevet of incapacity. Then there are \
some wl>o, through too much demand upon
their energies ami through lack of time, lose j
the capacity of making the pen intelligible, i
and much of the writing of this world is in- \
decipherable. We have seen piles of inex- |
{dicable chirogrnphy. and we ourselves have '
lelped augment the magnitude. We have j
not been sure of the namo signed, or the ]
sentimont expressed, or whether the reply i
was affirmative or negative. Thr ugh in- i
distinct penmanship last wills and testa- l
mcnts liavc been defeated, widows .and
orphans robbed of their inheritance, railroad
trains brought into collision through the
dim words of a telegram put into tho hand
of a conductor, nud regiments, in tin's wise,
mistaking their instructions, have boon |
Sficridod in bilttlp. i ns'ted Bishop
Oowie, iu Auckland. Now Zealand, tho
Bishop having been in many of tho wars, i
what Tennyson, in his immortal poem, t
4,Tno Charge of tho l.igtit Brigade," i
meant by tho words, "Some one had t
blundered,'' and the Bishop said that I
tho awful carnage at llalaklnva was the I
'result of iin indistinctly-written and I
wrongly-read military rdor. "Some one
had blundered." Hut your nniu", ?>ace i
written iu tho Lamb's Book of Life, will bo <
so unmistakable that all benvon can read it I
tit tlie Hrst glance. It will not be taken for r
tlie name of some other, so that in regurn to s
it there shall come to be disputation. Not 1
one of tint millions and billions and qunrl-, 1
trillions of tin- llmilly saved will doubt Hint n
it means you and only you. Oh, tho
glorious, tlie rapturous certitude of that
eniranee on tho heavenly roll. Not saved in I
a promiscuous way. Not put into a
glorified mob. No, no' Though you came ! ?

and somebody wln> knew you in this world
al on?< time as absolutely abandoned and
dissolute should suv *'i never hoard of "
your conversion and 1 do not believe you
havo a right lo bo hare," you could just *
laugh a laugh of triumph, and, turning over r
ho leaves containing the mimes of the ro- "
deemed, say "Itend it for yoursolf. That '
is my name, written out In lull, and do you "
not recognize tiio hand writing'/ No young "
scribe of heaven entered that. No annonv- I

is it not the name unmistakable and the *
handwriting unmistakable? Tho crucified I
J.ord wrote it there tho day 1 repented and !a
turned. Hear it! Hear it! My name is J
written there! There!'1
There Is not on earth an autograph letter I
or signature of Christ. The only tlmo Ho j
wrote out a word on earth, though Ho know I r
to well how to writte, Ho wrote witli reler-'t
enco to having it goon shuffle 1 out by human
foot, the time ttint Ho stooped down and
with His linger wrote on tbe ground tho
hypoorisy of the Pharisees. But wh?n H?
writes your namo in tho heavenly archivos.
ns I believe Ho has, or hopo He may. it is to
stay there from ago to age. from cycle to
cyole, from cnon to eaon. And so for all you
Christian people I do what John O. Whittier,
the dying poet, said he wanted done In his
home. Lovely man he was! I sat with him
in a haymow a whole summer afternoon, and
heard him tell the story of hts life. He had
for many years been troubled with Insomnia,
and was a very poor sleeper, and he alwayp
had the window curtain of his room up so as
to see the first intimation of sunrise. When
he was breathing bis last in the morning
hour, in his home in the Massachusetts village,
the nurse thought that the light of the
rising sun was too Btrong for him. and so
pulled the window*Curtain down. The last
thing the great Quaker poet did was to wave
hie hand to have the aurtaiu up. He wanted
to depart in the full gush of the mcrning.
And Ithought it might be holpful and Inspiring
to all Christian souls to havo more
Km iiuuui iu'j iiuuro, so i puu up mo curtain
lu the glorious sunrise of my text and
say. "K-?joieo that your namos are written in
heaven." Bring on your doxologles! Wave
your palmst Shout your victories! Pull up
all the curtains of bright expectatlonsi Yea!
hoist the window itsolf and lot tho perfume
of the ''morning glories" of th? King's garden
come in. .iud the music of harps nil
n-tremblo with symphonies, and tho sound
of tho surf or soils dashing to the foot of the
throne of fiod and th" Lamb.
Uut there t? only one wor.l on nil this subject
of Divine chirograph/ in heaven that
confuses me, and that is the small adverb
which 8\ John adds when he uuotos the text
in Revelation and speaks of some "whose
names are not written iu the Book of Llfeof
the Lamb stain." Ob, that awful adverb
"not!" By full submission to Christ tho
Lord, have the way all cleared betweon you
and the sublime registration of your name
this moment. Why not look up to see that
they are all ready to put your name among
the blissful immortals? There is the nnghty
volume- it is wide open. There is tho pen:
it is from the wing of the "Angel of tho
Now Covcuant." There is tho ink: it is red
irom the Culvareau sacrillco. And thero is
the Divine Hcrlbe. the glorious Lord who
wrote your father's name, and your mother's
name there, and your child's name
there, and who is ready to write your namo
there. Wi'l you consent that Ho do it? Before
I say "Amen" to this service, ask Him
to do it. I wait a moment for the tremendous
action of your will, for it is only an
action of your will. Here some one says,
"Lord Jesus, with pen plucked from angelic
wing, and dipped in the red Ink of Golgotha,
write thero either thill whtch Is now my
earthly name or that which shall bo my
heavenly name." I pause a second longer
that all may consent. The pen of the Divine
8cr.be is in tho (lagers and Is lifted and is
lowered, and it touohes the shining page,
and tho word is trace 1, in trembling and
bo'.d and unmistakable letters. Ho has put
it down in the right pla?e.
And if there be in all this nssemblv ahone
less case, so-called hopeless by yourself and
others, I tnke the responsibility of saying
that there Is a place in that Book where your
name would exactly fit in, and look beautiful,
nnd you can, quicker than I can clupmy
hand? together, have it there. A religious
meeting was thrown open, and all those who
could tcsilfv of the converting grace of Qod
were asked to speak. Stlenco reigned a moment,
nud then a man covered with the
marks of dissipation arose and said: "You
can see from my looks what I have been, but
I am now a saved mau. When I left home a
thousand miles from here I had so disgraoed,
my father's name that he said.'As yon are
going away I have only two things to ask of
you, first, that you will never come home
again, and next, you will change your nume.'!
I promised. I have not heard my real namq
for years. I went the whole ronnd of sin,
until there was no lower depth to fathom.
But I am hy the graee of God a changed
man. I wrote homo asking forgiveness for
my waywardness, and-here are two letters,
one from my father nnd another from my
sister. My mother died of a broaen lioart.'
But thoso two letters ask me to como home,
and boys, 1 start to-morrow morning." The
fact was that h(B -name was written iq
heaven, where I pray God nil of our name^
may bo written though so unworthy are thq
best of us, and nil of us. If you have eveq
been in the thick woods and hoard the sound
of village bells you know the sound is tain-i
derod nnd muffled by the foliage, though
somewhat sweet, but as you come to the
edge of the woods the 80uu-ls become clearer,'
and inore charming and when you step out
from the deep shadows into the sunlight you
hoar the full, rouud. mellifluous ringing of
the bells. Oh! ye, down in the thick shadows
of unbelief and who hear only the faint
notes of this Gospel boll, come out into the
clear sunlight of pudou and peace, and hear
the full chime of eternal harmonics from all
the towers of heaven. Oil! Ooune out of the
woods!
BESSEMER ORE DISCOVERED.

In Michigan.
Water has been turned tcto the new channel
dredged tor the Mtchlgummo r.lvor,
Michigan, for the purpose of reclaiming tho
Mansfield Mine, which was flooded several
years ago, drowning twenty-seven raou. Tho
enterprise has proved even a greater success
than the projectors anticipated, for a large
body of Bessemer ore has been discovered in
the old channel.
Six Inches below tho sand covering on the
river bed was a bed of ore. A system of
trenching was instituted, and the body was
traced nearly 300 feet. A sample r^f tho ore
lias been analyzed for iron. It is very rich.
While the i hemist's Itgures nremot available,
it is stated that no other mine In the district
produces ore that approaches it in the volume

railroad have beon completed and the prop rty
13 now virtually in new hands, and will
low bo operated for the general railroad development
and welfare of the South. It is
known that three parties holding the controlling

made it known thnt 9150 was the least they
would take. Mr. Ryan and the pool committee

which was the acceptance of # 110 por Hharo
by the company. A contract for tho nocesinry
transfer was drawn by Henry Crawford
for the Ryan syndicate and Judgo Watts for
tho pool. There were conditions of tho transfer
which included the re-election of President

Vice Consul General Washington, writing
to tho Department of State from Cairo, on
tho prospect of the cotton crop of Egypt,
says that the present season's crop promisee
to surpass all previous years in quality. According
to statistics compiled by tho llunnce
department, there are under cultivation this
yenr about 1,050,000 acres, as compared with
a littlo under ono million acres Inst year.
Last year's crop amounted to about 520,000,000
pounds, so that on tho basis of area alone
a crop of five hundred and fifty million
pounds is probable this year. So far tho
weather has been favorable and tho plants
have borue an abundant crop. Up t<> tho

The Secretary of the Treasury has ordered
the discontinuance of Chester Shoal. Bethel
Creek and Orange Qrove houses of refuge on
the eastern coast of Florida. These houses
were built many years ago, when there were
only three or four human habitations accessible
for over 260 miles of beach. Within the
same territory, there are, however, now
about ten thousand people, and hence tneee
houses of refuge are regarded ha no longer
necessary to commerce or for the interests
of humanity. These houses were never Intended
as regular life saving stations, but
only to afford relief to people cast ashore
and liable to perish of hunger and thirst. ,

A. statement issued by the Agricultural DeJartment
shows that the fiscal year ended
una 30 the American farmers sold to foreign
nations $670,000,000 worth of their products,
a gain of $17,000,000 over the preccedlng
year. A very rapid and continuous decline
is shown in our exports to Cuba, which
dropped from $'24,000,000 in 1893 to $20,000.000
in 1894, declined to $13,000 000 in
1895 anil amounted to only $7,500,000 in
1898. Our total imports during the year
were $780,000,000 worth of goods. This was
a year's gain of $48,000 Our imports from
I'uba, which were valued at $79,000,000 In
1893, shrank to $40,000,000 in 1895.

piU that will" is Ayer's Cathartic Pill. It is a
pill to rely on. Properly used it wiU cure con- v||p
J||n stipation, biliousness, sick headache, and the /|lk
other ills that result from torpid liver. Ayer's ^||P
pills are not designed to spur the liver into a
momentary activity, ^ leaving jit in yet more
11||) incapable condition after the immediate effect tfimjji
is. past. They are compounded with the nnr.
fpose of toning up tho entire system, removing M0S
the obstructing conditions, and putting the
liver into proper relations with the rest of the to#)
organs for natural co-oporation. The record of
Ayer's Pills during the half century they have
been in public use establishes their great and /f^%
pormanent value in all liver affections.
