1 Beautiful Abigail, in her rbythmlo plen
for the rescue of her Inebriate husband,
. wbo died within ten days, addresses David,
' the warrior, in the words of the text. She
suggests that bis life, pliysionlly and intellectually
and spiritually, is a valuable
package or bundle, divinely bound up and
. *o be divinely protected.
The phrase "bundle of life" I heard many
' timet in my father's family prayers'. Fom
ily-prayers you know, have frequent repetitions,
because day by day they acknowledge
about the same blessings and deplore
about the same frntltios and sympathize
with about the same misfortunes, and I do
not know why those who lead at household
devotions should seek variety of composition.
That familiar prayer becomes the
ucuewnuia iiiurgy. t wouia not Rive 0110
of my old father's prayers for llfty elocu.
tlonary supplications. Attain and again.
, In the morning and evening prayer, X heard
the request that we might nil be bound up
In the bundle of life, but I did not know
until n few days ago tnnt the phrase was a
Bible phrase.
During the last .spell of oold weather
there were bundles that attracted the attention
and the plaudits of the high lmavj
ens, bundles of olothlng on the way from
comfortable homes to the door of the
mission room, and Christ stood in the
; snowbanks and said as the bundles passed:
4 "Naked, and ye olothed me. Inasmuoh as
ye have done it unto one of the least of
> these my brethren ye have done it
unto me. ' Those bundles are mnltibiying.
Blessings on those who paok thorn.
Blessings on those who distribute them.
Blessings on those who receive them,
, With what beautiful aptitude did Abigail
In my. text speak of the bundle of life! Oh,
> what a precious bundle Is life! Bundle of
memories, buudle of hopes, bundlo of
ambitions, buudle of destinlesl Once In
a while a man writes his autobiography,
and It Is or thrilling Interest. The story of
his blrthplnce, the story of his struggles,
the story of his sufferings, the story of his
triumphs! Iiut If the autobiography of the
most eventful life were well written it
would innko many chapters of adventure,
of tragedy, of comedy, and there would
not be nn uninteresting stop from cradle
to grave.
Bundle of memories are yoal Boyhood
memories, with all Its injustices from playmates,
with all its game with ball ana bat
and kite and sled. Manhood memories,
with all your struggles in starting?obstacles,
opposition, aocldents, misfortunes,
losses, successes. Memories of the first
marriage you ever saw solemnized, of the
first grave you ever saw opened, of the
flwt mll'lltv wrnnc vfiii avmp anfParaH nf
the first victory you over gnlnod. Memory
< ! the hour when you werenfflauced, memory
of the first advent In your home, memory
of roseate cheek faded and of blue
?yea closed in the last sloop, memory of
anthem and of dirge, rapmory of great
pain and of slow convalescence, memory of
times wheu all things were against you,
memory of prosperities that came in like
the full tide of tne sea, memories of a lifetime.
What a bundle!
Bundle of hopes and ambitions also la almost
every mhu and woman, especially at
the starting. What gains he will harvest,
or wbnt reputation he will achieve, or
what bliss he will reach, or what love he
willwiu. What makes college commence,
ment day so entrancing to all of us as we
[ see the students receive their diplomas and
u-' take up the garland) thrown to their f?et?
They will bo Faradnys In science: they will
t be Teunysons in poesy; they will be Willard
Parkers in surgery; they will be Alexander
Hamilton* In national finance; they will be
Horace Orealays in editorial chair: they
| will he Websters in the Senate, Or she
will ho a Mary Lvon In educational
| realms, or n Frances Willard on reformatory
platform, or a Helen Gould in military
hospitals. Or she will make home life
V radiant with helpfulness and self-sucrlfloe
\ and maguiticeut womanhood. Ob, what n
s bundle of hopes and ambltlonsl It Is a
^Hjndle of garlands and scepters frpm
W'tch I would not take one sprig of
m'KH>nette nor extinguish one spark of
, brillliWfo. They who start life without
bright \opes and Inspiring ambitions
might as-well not start at all, for every
step will be a failure. Bather wouhj I ndd
to the bundle, and 11 I open it now it will
be because 1 wish to takb anything from
it, hpt that I may put into it more coronets
and hosannas.
Bundle of faculties in every man and
every woman! Power to think?to think
of the past and through all the future, to
think upward and higher than the highest
pinnacle of heaven, or to think downward
until there is no lower abysm to fathom.
Power to think right, power to think wrong,
power to think forever, for, onoe having
begun to think, there shall be no terminus
for that exercise, and eternity itself shall
have no power to bid It halt. Faculties to
love?filial love, couiugal love, paternal
love. maternAl love, love of country, love
of Ood. Faculty of judgment, with scales
so delicate and yet so mighty they can
weigh arguments, weigh emotions, weigh
worlds, weigh heaven and hell. Faculty ol
will, that can olirab mountains or tunnel
them, wade seas or bridge them, accepting
eternal enthronement or choosiug ever
lasting exile. Oh, what I) In to be a man!
Oh, whu.. it Is to be a woman! Sublime and
infinite bundle of faculties! The thought
of it staggers me, swamps me, stuns me,
bewilders me, overwhelms me, Oh, what
abuudlo of life Abigail of my toxt saw in
David and which we ought to see In overy
human vet immortal being!
Know, also, that this bundle of life is
properly directed. Many a bundle has
missed its way and disappeared because
the address has dropped, and no one can
find by examination for what city or town
or neighborhood it was Intended. All great
oarrying companies have so many mlsdlreoted
packages that they appoint days of
vendue to d I s p o^g ^ ui 4n' if ? vVn g "a
"Valuable package plainly directed, the
name of the one to whom it is to go plainly
written. Baggage master and expressman
ought to know at the first glance to whom
to take it.
The bundle of life that Abigail in my
text speaks of is plainly addressed. By
divine peumnnshlp it is dlrectod heavenward.
However long may be the earthly
distance it travels Its destination is the
aternal city of Ood on high. Every mile it
{oes away from that dlreotlon is by some
uman or infernal fraud praotioed against
it. There are those who put It on some
other track, who misplace it in some wrong
conveyance, who send it off or send it baok
by some dlabollo miscarriage. The value
of that bundle is so well known all up and
ddwn the universe that there are 1,000,000
dishonest hands whloh are trying to detain
or divert It or to forever stop its progress
in the right direction. There ure so many
influences abroad to ruin your body, mind
and soul that my wonder is not that so
many aro destroyed for this world and the
next, but that iii? ?? ??? - ?
, w?w uvt U1UIO wuu KO I
down irremediably.
Every human being la assailed at tin*
start. Within an hour of tho time when
this bundle of life is made up the assault
begins. First of ail there are the infantile
disorders that threaten the body Just
launched upon earthly existence. Hcarlot
fevers and pneumonias and diphtherias and
lDflu"u/.A8 and the whole pack of epidemics
surround tho cradle and threaten its ovnpant;
and infant Moses In the ark oftmllrufthcs
wns not more imperiled by the monsters
of the Nile than every cradle la Imperiled
by ailments all devouring. In after
year* thm are torn wtthln ud torn without.
Svfl appetite joined by outside allu
rement*. Temptations that have utterly
destroyed more people than now Inhabit
the earth. Gambling saloons and rammerlee
and plaoas where dissoluteness reign*
supreme, enough in number to go ropnd
and round the earth. Dleoouragements,
jealousies, revenges, malevolences, disappointments,
swindles, arsons, conflagrations
and eruetttee, whloh make continued
existence of the human race a wonderment.
Was ever any valuable bundle ever
so Imperiled as this bundle of life? Oh,
look at the address and get that bundle going
In the right wayl "Thou shalt love the
Lord tby Ood with all thy heart and soul
and mind and strength."
Know also that a bundle may have In It
more than one invaluable. Thure may be
iu it a photograph of a loved one end a
jewel for a carcanet. It mey contain an
embroldored robe and a Dore's Illustrated
Bible. A bundle may have two treasures.
Abigail In my text recognised this when
she said to David, "The soul of my lord Is
bound in the bundle of life with the Lord
thy God." And Abigail was right. We
may be bound up with a loving and sympathetio
Gou. Wo may be as near to Him as
evor woro emerald and ruby united in one
ring, as ever were two deeds in one package,
as ever were two vases on the same
shelf, as ever were two valuables in the
same bundle. Together in time of sorrow.
Together in time of Joy. Together on
earth. Together in heaven. Close oompanionshlp
of God. Hear Him, "I will
never leave thee, nor forsake thee." "For
the mountains shall depart and the hills be
removed, but My kindness shall not depart
from thee, neither shall the oovenant of
My peace be removed, satth the Lord that
bath mercy on thee." And when those
Bible authors compared God's friendship
to the motttitalns for height and
firmness they- kpew what they were
writing about; tor they well knew what
mountains are. All those Innds are mountainous.
Mount Harmon, Mount Gilboa,"
Mount Gerlslm, Mount Engedl, -Mount
Horob, Mount Nebo, Mount Plsgab, Mount
Olivet, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount
Lebanon. Mount Hlnal, Mount Golgotha.
Yes, we have the divine promise that all
those mountains shall weigh their anchorage
of rooks and move away from the
earth before a loving and sympathetio God
will move away from us if we love and
trust Him. Oh, it we oould realtze that
according to my text we may bound up
with that God, how independent It would
make us of things that now harass and annoy
and discompose and torment usi Instead
of a grasshopper being a burden, a
world of oare would be as light as a
feather, and tombstones would be marble
stairs to the King's palace, and all the
giauts of opposition we would smite down
bip and thigh with great slaughter.
Know, also, that this bundle of life will
be gladly received when it comes to the
door of the mansion for which it was bound
and plainly directed. With what alnorlty
nud glee we await some package that has
uuou lurmum oy iguor, Homo uonuay presentation,
something that will enrich and
ornament our home, some testimony of admiration
and alTeetlonl With what glow
of expectation we untie the knot and take
off the cord that holds it together in safety,
and with what glad exclamation we unroll
the covering und see the gift or purchase
in all Its beauty of color and proportion.
Well, what a day it will be when
your precious bundle of life shall bo opened
in the "house of mauy uiaualons," amid
saintly and angelic and divine inspection!
The bundle may be spotted with the marks
of much exposure, it may bear Inscription
after inscription to tell through what ordeal
It has passed, perhaps splashed of
wave and scorched of flame, but all It has
within undhmaged of the Journey. And
with what shouts of Joy the bundle of life
will be greeted by all the voices of the
heavenly home clrole.
In our aixioty at last to reaoh heaven
we are apt Ip lose sight of the gleo or welcome
that awaits ns if wo get in a( all. We
all have friends op there. They will somehow
bent /Aat we are coming. Rgoh close
and s'wttt and constant communication Is *
there between those uplands and these
lowlands tpat we will not surprise them by
sudden aiflval. If loved ones on earth expect
our of mlng visit and are at the depot
with carnage to meet us, surely we will
be met at (lie shining gate bv old friends
uow sainted and kindred now glorified. It
there were no angel ot God to meet us and
show us thdpalaces and guide us to our
everlastingVesldenoe, these kindred would
show us the way and point out the
splendors and guide us to our celestial
home, bowored and fountalned and
arched and illumined by a sun that never
sets. Will it not bo glorious, the going In
and the settling down after all the moving
about and upsottlngs of earthly experience?
We will soon know all our neighbors, kingly,
queenly, prophetic, apostolic, seraphic,
arcbangello. The precious bundle or life
opened amid palaces and grand marohes
and acolamntlons. They will all be so glad
wo have got safely through. They saw us
down here In tha struggle. They saw us
when we lost our way. They knew when
we got off the right course. None of (the
thirty-two ships that were overduo at New
York harbor In the storm ot week before
last was greeted so heartily by friends on
the dock or the steam tugs that went out
to meet tliom at Sandy Hook as we
will be greeted in the heavenly
world It bv the pn^doning and protecting
grace ot God !/e come to celestial
wharfage. We shall live to tell them of
the many wrecks that jwe have passed on
the way across wild sets and amid Caribbean
cyclones. It wllire ltko onr arrival
some years ago from Nuv Zealand at Sydney.
people surprised tivt we got In at all,
because we were two dkys late, and soma
of the ships expected lia gone to the bottom,
and we bad pas|)d derelicts anl
abandoned ornftsnll up aiid down that awful
obannel?our arrival h heaven all the
more rapturously welcomid beoause of the
doubt as to whether we. would ever get
there at all. .
Once there it will be round that the
safety of that preoious tyndls of life was
assured beoause It was Diund up with the
life ot God In Jesus Gbrlli. Heaven oould
not afford to have that handle lost because
It had been said In regard lo Its transportation
and safe arrival, "Kdpt by the power
of God through faith untoi complete salvation."
The veracity of tie heavens Is involved
in Its arrival. If God shouJA^ i
to keep His promise to Iwpiif.'.r11
soul uj* pillars of throne
- -irvlffCT fall, and the forf/A?*'??* ot the
eternal city would cri?-*t>lo, and Infinite
poverties would <*i?n down all the
challoes, and olose all the banqueting halls,
and the river of life would ohange Its
course, sweeping evervthii? with desolation,
and frost would blast all the gardens,
<>iivi iiuutnnBuraoiB sioaness stay (Da tmmortals,
and the new Jerusalem become
an abandoned olty, with no ohariot wheel
on the streets and no worshippers In the
temple?a dead Pompeii of the skies, a
buried Herculaneum ot the heavens. Lest
any one should doubt, the Ood who oannot
lie smites his omnipotent hand on the side
of his throne and takes affidavit, deolarlng,
"As I live, saith the Lord Ood, I have
no pleasure In the death of him that dleth."
Oh, I cannot tell you how I feel about It,
the thought Is so glorious. Bound up with
Qod. Bound up with infinite meroy. Bound
up with Infinite Joy. Bound up with infinite
purity. Bound up with infinite might.
That thought Is more beautiful and-plorlous
than was the heroic Abigail, woo at
the toot of the crags uttered, "Bound in
the bundle of life with tho Lord thy Oodl"
Now, my honror and reader, appreciate
the value of that bundle. Bee that it is
hound up with nothing mean, but with tbe
unsullied and the Immaculate. Not wltha
pehblo of the shifting bench, but with the
kohlnoor of the palace; not with some'
lading regalia of earthly pomp, but with
the robe wuslied aud male white lu the
blood of tho Lamb.

A Chicago Election Jsdge.
Election day In Chicago is productive
of many amusing incidents. At an
election booth in Milwaukee avenue,
the judge was a Qerman, whose worth
as an American citizen is not marked
by an extensive knowledge of the
coui^ry of his adoption. He is, however,
an active ward hustler, and aa
such he always stands ace high with
his party during campaigns.
On election day a resident of the precinct
called to cast his ballot. He was
not known to the judge, and the latter
asked:
"Vhere vas you born?"
"In Iowa," was the response.
"Veil, let me se your papers," demanded
the election official.
"Why, Judge," broke In one of the
"lerks, "this man doesn't have to show
&. turallzatlon jpnpere: he was born in
IOWXj-"
"Vnat!" exclaimed the Judge, "Is

It nnm itruge that with fimdom
to oome and go civilised men should
choose to dwell In a region so terribly
bleak and sterile as Labrador.. Yet of
the 8.700 Inhabitants of that great
peninsular. 3,000 are of the white or
mixed race. They mainly are descendants
of English sailors, some of whom
were shipwrecked and more of whom
probrfbly left their ships without leave.
Finding themselves stranded on this
lonely shore, they made the best of
their lot, marrying Eskimo wives and
living after the manner of the country.
In later times some Newfoundlanders
chose rather to settle In Labrador
than make the uncomfortable trips to
and fro yearly from St John's for the
annual codflshing off the. Labrador
shores. These brought their wives
and children with them and Introsias

All of these people live In little settlement*
strung along the coast, on
islands or in fiords, from Battle Harbor
south ? to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
They dwell In houses of stone
or logs. In winter they wear hooded
fur garments like the Eskimos; In
summer the ordinary garb of Newfoundland
fishermen. The women
dress In gray or blue woollen stuff,
with a gaudy gown for best On tlieh
heads they wear a knit heod or n
bright-colored handkerchief, and, it
may be, at out-of-door work or abroad
on the water, a man's sou'wester.
Against the walls in their houses are
pasted such pictures as 'they have
been able to clip from the few newspapers
that fall ii^ their way, advertising
lithographs that have come with
goods to the trading stores, and pictures
of thes ort issued by tract societies.
On the table or shelf in the
living room Is always a Bible, religiously
read on Sunday when the cod
are not biting or a fare of fish to be
dressed and flaked. It is a devout
and sober-minded community, that of
the whites along the coast of Labrador.
Their religious ministrations are
provided by the Moravians, who have
several missions in Labrador; their
temperance is assured by stringent
laws forbidding the landing of any
lhfrors In Labrador, and these are
made effective by a thorough patrol
by the Dominion revenue steamships,
which deal Inexorably with smugglers
of strong water.
Aaerkas Exhibits at Paris.
Hundreds of American horseless carriages
and vehicles of all kinds will be
seen on the streets of Paris during the
great universal exposition of 1900.
Contracts have recently been let in
various cities In the United States,
notably Chieago, for the buildlug and
equipping of about 5,000 electrical carriages.
American railroads are preparing
to make extensive exhibits at
the Paris Exposition, and some of
them will be full of novel and striking
ideas. One plan, whtch has already
received the approval of a number of
the leading railroad companies, provides
for the construction of an enormous

Every successful
farmer who raises fruits,
vegetables, berries or
grain, knows by experience
the importance of having a
large percentage of
Dnfocli

for all crops, and we will gladly send then
