"Full buck!" shouted the 'n eomninnder of the Philistine nrrny. The ^ cry rati along tho host, 'Fall "hick!" Cl Eleazar, having swept the Cold, throw* lu himself on the ground to rest, hat the inu*- 111 cles and sinews of his hand had been *>? ?'! long bent around the hilt of Ids sword that !. the hilt was Imbedded In tho flesh, and the 5 ' gold wire of the hilt had broken through 3 tho skin of tho palm of tho hand, nt\d hcould not tlrop this sword vrhtch ho had so gallantly wielded. "His hand clave unto tho sword." 'Flint Is what I call iiingnlllcent llghtlog for the I.ord Goi of Israel. And wo want tuoro of t. I propose to show you how Elenzar look hold of Itlie sword aud how tho sword too'; J" hold of Eloazar. I look at Klcnzur's hand, "v and I como to the couclusioa that ho took tr tho sword with a very tight grip. Tho cowards who fled had no trouble in dropping their swords. As I hey fly over the rocks I hear their swords clanging In every direction. It Is easy enough for them to ',l: ilvop their swords, but Eleanor's hand clave xv unto the sword. In this Christian conflict {" we want n tighter grip of theOospcl weepons, n tighter grasp of the two edired stvor.t "v of tli? trut li. It tuaki'9 niusick to tot* these Christian people who holtl only h part ot tho truth and lot the rest of the truth go to that the Philistines, snelug the loosened lJ grasp, wrench tiie whole sword away from thorn. Tho only safe thing for um to do is t<? put our thumb on the book of Genesis ami sweep our hand nrouud tho hook until the New Testament comes Into the palm and keep ou sweeping our hand around the o book until tho tips of the lingers clutch at c the words "Iu the ht ginning God created (j tho heavens and tho earth." I like an lull- p, del a great deal bettor than I do one of pj thesennmby pumhy Christians who hold a Sl( part of tho 1 ruth and let tho rest go. jjy i0 miracle God preserved this Bible just as It Is, and it Is a Damaseus blade. The sever- u: est test to which a sword can bo put iu a pi sword factory is to wind the I.lade around f0 a gun barrel like a ribbon, and tlien when n, tiie sword Is let loose it liiex buck to its own c| shape. Ho the sword of God's truth lias been fully tested, an l it Is bent this way r( and ttiut wnv and wound this way and that p. way, but It always comes back to Its own s," shape. Think of II! A book written nearly j| nineteen eeuturios ago, and some of It p thousands of years ago, and yet in j, j our time the average sale of this hook w Is more than 21.000 copies every week and n more than 1,000,000 copies a year! I say },, now that a book which is divinely inspired i,| ami divinely kept aud divinely scattered Is a weapon worth holding a tight grip of. p, Bishop Colenso will fomu along and try to Sj wrench out of your hand the live books of >io?es, aud Str.iuss will come along and try j,, to wrench out of your hand tho miracles, ;l| an I Kenan will come along and try to -l( wrench out of your hand the otitiro life of ](| the I.ord Jesus Christ, and your associates 0 ill the office or the factorv or ?lu? I.nt.!. !. <? house will try to wrench out of your hand IUo entire lti(?!??, hut in tin1 strength of t>i?* t; Lord Go 1 of Israel ami with Lleuzar's grip holil on to it. Vou give up tliu Bible, you give up any part of It, and you glvoup par- ndon and ponce and life in heaven. l)o not be ashamed, young man, to have p the workl know that you arc afriondof tho ? Bible. Tills book Is tlie friend of all that is t. good. and it is tho sworn enemy of ail that Is bad. An eloquent writer recently gives ,1 an incident of u very had man who st"o I jj in a cell of a Western prison. This eriml- 0 mi I had (tone through all stylos of crime, t; and ho was there waiting for tho gallows. n Tim eonvii.t standing tliero at tho window f, of tho cell, this writer says, "looked out j and declared, 'I am an iuildel.' Ho said that to nl! tho men anl women and oliil- <' <!ren who happened to bo gathered there. u 'I am an inlluel." " And tho elo(|iient writer VJ hays, "Kvery man and woman there bo- ,, lifved htm." And the writer goes to i, pay. "If he had stood there saying, 'I am w u Christian.' every man and woman would j, have sal l, 'Ho Is a liar'.'" This Bible is tho sworn enemy of nll'that j, is wrong, and it is the friend of all that is good. On, hold on il! Do not take part ? of it and throw tho rest away. Hold on to ,, nil of if. There are so many people now j. who do not know. You ask them If the soul is immortal, and they say: "1 guess it is; I don't know. Perhaps it Is; perhaps tj it isn't." Is the Bible true? "Well, perhaps j.., it is, and perhaps it isn't. Perhaps it may ' o, figuratively, and perhaps it may he .. partly, and perhaps it may not be at all." M They despise wnat lliey end tho apostolic j, creed, but if lb ir own freed were written n out it would read like tlii>: "I believe in ,, nothing, the maker of heaven and earth, u and in nothing which it hntli sent, which ... ...Ililnnii'nu 1.1.in t,1 imllil.w. m.<l mlil.il. nothing was dead ami buried ami descend- lt ej la'.o nothing and rose from nothing j, nail ascended to nothing an-1 now sltteth w at tlin right han?l of nothing, from j, Which it will coiiio tojudge nothing.

Ah ho wont out into tho conflict ho was so anxious for tho vietorv ho forgot himself, and that hilt might go never so deeply into tho palm of his hand, it could not disturb him. "His hand clavo unto tho sword." Oh, my brother.* and sisters, let us go Into tho Christian conflict with tho spirit of self abnegation. Who < cares whether tho world praises us or denounces us? What do wo euro for misrepresentation or ahuso or persecution In a conflict like this? Let us forgot ourselves. Tint man who Is afraid of getting his hand 0 hurt will never kill a Philistine. Who cares whether you get hurt or not if you get the victory? Oh. how many Christians there are who' are alt the tlmo worrying about the way tho worl I treats thorn! They are so tired, and they aro so abused, and they are so tempted, when Klenz ir * did not think whether ho had a baud or nn arm or a toot. All he wanted was victory. We see how inon forget themselves in worldly achievement. We liavo often seen ^ men who. In order to ae.ileve worldly sue- j cess, will lorgot all physical fatigue and ' ail uuuoyttucu and all obstacle. Just after t he battle of Yorktown la the American | '.evolution a musician, wounded, was told j to uiust beve his limbs amputated, and j hey were about to fasten him to he aurgeou's table, for it was ong before fbe merciful discovery of iiKvstbetics. Husn??l: "No; don't fasten ns to that table. Get rrn a Ylollo." A iolin was brought to him, and he said, 'Now, go to work its i begin to piny," ami or forty mluutcs, during the MWful pangs if amputation, ho moved not a muscle nor Iroppeil a note, while he pluyed some weet tunc. Oh, Is It not strange that with ho music of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, nd with this grand m?rch of the church militant on the way to become the church rlumphant, wo cannot forget ourselves nd forget all | nng nud nil sorrow and all ors ccutlon and all perturbation? Wo know what men accomplish under orldly opposition. Men do not shrink hack >r antagonism or for hardship. You have ilmlred Pre-cott's "Conquest of Mexico," * brilliant ami beautiful a history as was >?-r wiiii?-u, urn Bom? or you may not now under wlnit disadvantages |r was rltten?that "Conquest of Mexico"?for rescott was totally Miml, ami he had two leei's of wood parallel to each other fast)?'d, ami totally blind, with liis pen hereon those pieces of wood, ho wrote the roko against ouo piece of wood tolling )\v far the pen must go In one way, ti>? roke against the other piece of wood lellg how fur the pen must go the other way. h, how tnticb men will endure for worldly :iowledge and for wordly success. and yet >w little we endure for Jesus Chris!! How any Christians there are that go around yiug, "Oh, my hand; oh, my hard, my trt hand! Don't you see there Is blood on e sword?" while Dleaznr, with tho hilt Im?dded In the flesh of hie right hand, does >t know It. Must I ho enrried to the skies On flowery beds of ease. While others fought to win the prize Or suited through bloody seas? What have wc suffered in comparison with lose who expired with suffocation or wero irned or were chopped to pieces for the uth's sake? We talk of the persecution ' olden times. There Is just us much percution going on now In various ways. In 4'J, in Madagascar, eighteen meu were put i death for Christ's sake. They weie to > hurled over the rocks, and before they ere hurled over the rocks, in order to ake their death the more dreadful iu an ipatloD, they were put in baskets and rung to and fro over the precipice that icy might see how nt'tnv hundred feet they ouid have to lie dashed down, and while icy were swinging iu these baskets over le rocks they sung: Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Toy bosom fly, W.ille the billows near ino roll. While the tempest still is high. Then they were "lushed down to death, h, how much others have endured for hrist, and how little we endure for lirist! We waut to ride to heaven in 11 111 idii 11 sleeping car. our foot on soft nsli, t'so bed made it| early, so wo oiiii op all the way, tlio black porter of death i wako ih up only in time to enter the >ldou city. Wo want nil the snrgeonn to y our liuiul up. Let them bring on all the it ami nil the bandages and all the salve, r our hand is hurt, while Eleanor does >t know his hand is hurt. "His hand ave nuto the swor.l." As I look at Eleii/.ar's hand I eoir.e to the inclusion that he has done a great deal of ird hitting. I am not surprised when I ie that these four men?Eleaznr anil his ir? o companions drove back the army of iiilistlnes?that Elea/.ar's sword clave to Is hand, for every time be struck nu enemy itii one end of the sword the other end of in sword wounded him. When he took old of the sword, the sword took hold oI Im. Oh, we have found an enemy who cannot ;? conquered by rosewnter and soft icccbes. It must lie sharp stroke and rulght thrust.

Jint I see in the next place what a hard ling it was tor Eloa/.ar to get his hand and Is sword parted. The muscles und the news had been so long grasped around ie sword lie could not drop it when he reposed to drop it, and his three comides, I suppose, came up and tried to help i.n. ami they bathed the back part of his and, hoping the sinews and muscles would -.ax. but no.

Jcaa Bart's Part ia Abolishing the Brutal Code of Oleroa. Captain Malum has shown liow England Ix-gaii her world-wide douiln Ion under Drake and ltalclgh and mndt it good under Nelson. Thouias H Watson, the tieorgiu |K>litieinn and or utot*. In his "The Story of France.' makes the clalui that, had the Draw Monarch, Louis XIV., encouraged Jem Bart as he deserved, the sea uud tin world might have another story for m to-day. Mr. Watson writes: "Jean Bart is a robust iigure of these times. He came of a race of corsafrt of Dunkirk. A corsulr, you musl know, was a gentleman pirate. He diC unto all ships hut those of his o\v* country the deeds which pirates d'1' unto all ships without exception.' Jean Burt's grandfather was 51 ce*" ebrlty, known in corsair circles as the Sea-fox. 1I?? father was likewise a semt-plratc of eminent respectability, mill neeiilimlntoil n itiwI ilnnl nf uliin. der. Thus Joau was cradled In the luxuries, liberties, aud heroisms of legalized piracy, and from his youth he followed the seas." In 10GG he served in the crew of n man-of-war commanded by a brute named Valbue. Even at this early age he was a hero. In those days the captain of a ship was master of life and death on board his vessel. The code of Olcrou, "an eye for an eye," wus then the guide. If a sailor drew a knife upon another, the offending hand was nailed to the must with a knife. If he killed his mate, his own body was tied to that of ids victim, and both were cast into the sea. This simple code was practiced for several hundred years, because it was popular among sailors. In trying a case the captain took a vote of the crew, aud the majority decided. There was one Huguenot sailor in the crew of Cnlliue, and his religion made him the butt of his messmates. Valbue told a story of a miracle performed by some priest, and, when lie had iinished, he threw at the Huguenot sailor an insulting remark and a tin can. The sailor appealed to the code of Oleron. Valbue, angered by his resistance, struck Iaiuoix ttlic Huguenot) with a capstan.

This was known in all ships of those days as "the chain of refuge." This part of t We ship was as a suuetuary on land. Yalbue declared that the law did not apply to swine Jews nud Huguenots, and so rushed upon Lanoix ami struck hint. Lanoix stabbed the captain in the arm, and all the crew except Jean Hart Saurct fell upon the Huguenot, who killed one ol mem with his knife. "Bring me the book!" shouted the captain, and the cabin boy fetched the code of Olcrou. "Bead me the law!" demanded Yalbue of Saurct, putting his linger on tht clause meant. "1 will not read it!" answered Sauret disgusted and indignant. "You are not acting according tc law," continued Saurct. "This uufor lunate man (Lanoix) is entitled ti three meals at which he may confes> his faults; he is also entitled to mukt his oath of excuse and his promise ol future obedience." "Hush your mouth!" shouted Yalbue. "Being a heretic, he is entitled to none of these rights. "Listen!" continued Yalbue, whost method of procedure was, in truth, di a helically regular and correct.
