Inscriptions That Wore a Joy te the Cynice and Critics. A collection of c-olu ruuUora gathered by an Italian etudout, Amerigo Scar latti, waa publlsbi-d iu Minerva, an Italian perlodlcul. Scarlatti is of tV opinion that tucb lui Ip'.ious. though not lLtended to l:e cyulcr.V too o'len idnilt of bucIi an Interpretation through the lrrosla'Jble habit of the public uf ixrwrlng tfco lttcs'-loa of tbo doslg-ier and applying tbe motto to the cola It self. Thus whon Onirics II., klug of tbe two Sicilies, had cnpmvod on hit sil ver ducat tlte Latin v,-orJs "Unud no:j Suffldt," meaning "One Is not ciionU,' all tbe world insisted ou forgetting that tbe king referred to u Nngip ecep ter and euthur.lusticaKy agreed with htm that ouo ducat wasn't enough for any one. On tbe contrary, a storm of ironical opposition v.'no aro-.iacd when Louis do Bourbon, king of Etruria, In the early part of tbe last century inscribed YI deant Taupc-rett et Lactentur" on' bit colne. The words mean Let tbe poor see and rejoice," and of course awry one wanted to know why a poor man should rejoice at merely aeetng a piece of money. On the painl coinage of 1B73 bearing the arms of Gregory XIII. are the words "Et Super Hauc Petrnm" (And upon this rock). Of course tbe pope and the artist wbo-designed tbe coin meant the words to refer to the papa cy, but tbe evil minded applied them ao maliciously to tbe coin Itself thai the Issue was speedily stopjied. A ebn. liar opportunity for evil tongues waa afforded when tbo Knights of MaKa coined an tone of dollars with tbe algu of tbelr order, tlie Malteae cross, and tbelr motto, "In floe Slgno Mllltamua" (In thla sign we combat). The ribald affected to take It aa a coufeeetoa that with them money waa truly the ainew of" war. A Tetietian lira dated M7 bee the Komewhat nmhlgumtt motto "In Tib! Soto Gloria" (To thee alone the glo ry). A seqnln coined by Cardinal Bec gonlco In 1744 bears tbe worde "Vent Lumen Cordlum," or "Come, thou light of hearts." Clement XI. lsened a oolu with an Image of the Madonna, with tbe legend "Causa Noatrae LaeUtlae' (Cnuee of our Joy), and a Venetian piece with nn allegorical figure of Jus tice, with the words ' Nostra in hac ellcltas" (Our happiness in Ihle). All of tbeve lnacrlptioua were lrrovent); dlverted by cobtouiporurlcj from their true object to tbe money Ittelf. AN f.EPiV. HORROR. The Very DrowSfu!

Heater at the Mitbodiil Eplico pal Churoh. Text i "Prove all tbingi: holdfast that which It tood."-I Tbata., 5-21. I am (lad that God does not ask ma to lay aside my reason, when ha asks ma to become a Christian. In poiot of fact he appeal! to man to use bia rea soning powers. In the first obapter of Isaiah God tayt : "l-ome now and let ut reason together." The Apostle Paul callt the Christian Ufa "a reasonable service." He does not tay that Christianity It without mystery. On the contrary he deolaret; "Without controversy great It tht mystery of godlineu." But it does not lollow, because there Is mys terr oonneoted with tbe Chrlillan sys tem that therefore it It unreasonable. Because reason cannnt grasp a thing, It baa no right to prononnce it absurd. Our text tayt: "Prove all thing,." Tett, try and examine. 'That It what we propose to do at tbit time. The human family It like a multi tude of trarelera standing near a har bor where a large number of thlpt are anchored. Some of these have made the voyage many timet. Some have met with accidents. Some are unlit for service. Some are entirely new and have never made the voyage. The agents are out with ciroulara soliciting tha patronage of the people. If you were among the multltude.abouttotake passage on one of these ships, yon would inquire into its past history, and present condition. You wocld endeav or to ascertain something about Its pi lot, the captain and the crew, into whose bands you were about to entrust your life. Prudence woold dictate such a oourae. ' e Friends, we are all standing along the shores of time. We are all travel era to eternity. At I look ont upon the ship,, I tee a large and pretentious one; it baa a long flag, and on it "Ma terialism," In lettersof gold. It does not pretend to be sailing toward another port. It aays there it none I and makea tte voyage, simply for tbe pleasure at tending It. Everything it gotten op in the grandett style; excellent entertain ment; loaded with passeogers, who are singing and shouting "Let ut eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we be dead. " All Is well, to long at there it smooth tailing; but when the storm of death comes, (ear and terror may be teen upon tbe countenances of Itt pat teugeVii for destruction it itt doom. And what haa nAterlalltm done for mankind? Haa It sacrificed self for the amelioration of the condition of the raoefj Does it go to hospitals and utter words ol oomfort to the afflicted? Does it go to alia andJ penitentiaries, and point oonvlcte to a higher life? Does it leave Itt comfortable borne ana sacrifice Its belt powers to convert an island of cannibals Into an Island of sainU? Point to tucb a monument if you oan I And how do Materialise and Atheist, die? It la true, tome have died without tear, but never hat an Atheist left the shores of time In triumph. In the very nature of things he could not. There wat nothing to triumph over. In the Great Day, God will write over Materialism, what He wrote in Belchaxzar'a palace: "Weighed In tbe balances, and found wanting." I look out upon the thi pa. and I toe another thlp oalled Deltm or Rational ism. What haa Deltm done for man kind? It denies supernatural revela tion and consequently repudiate! tbe bible. It haa filled (beworld with fine spun theories, but haa never emanci pated a soul from the power of lin. It hasj been pointing at the mote in tbe eye of Christianity, but bat never tuo ceeded in removing itt own. It haa made effort after effort, to undermine the Christian system, without offering anything equally good aa a substitute. It has been crying "blind faith" at Christianity because of tbe mysteries oonneoted with Jt, and asks ns to ex change it for something that cootalna at many, If not more inaolvable prob lems. It la true It has written tome beauti ful poetry, but for tome of thil, it has like a thief, crawled through the win dow, into tbe palace of Christianity. It has painted tome; beautiful pictures, but never purified a heart. It has talked about, . and written about, and sang about a God, but haa never brought Him Into the hears as a loving redeemer. And does it illuminate the last station; on life's voyage? Nay, verily. It It true, some deista have left the world without tear, but where is there one that bar left the world. with the words of John Wesley on his ltpe: "Tbe best of all Is, God is with ww." sviends, don't go sailing on the ship ol Deibiu or Rationalism. The voyatieTuaybe pleasant for a season, but its destiny uncertain' As 1 look out upon the ships I see an other catled Self-righteousnese. Ever since Christ's day it haa been orowded with passengers, from all ranks of so ciety, from the king In his palace. down to the beggar in his hut. Many timet itt passengers have said: "God, I thank thoe, that 1 am not as other men are; extortioners, unjust, adulter ers; I fast twice in the week, and give tithes of all that I poeaess." Great at tention it given to the externali of re ligion, but lit Internal nature Is over- looked. They g i lo church, hear tbe Gospel preacbei 52 Sabbatha In the year, have tbe form of godtlm:,, but lack itt power. They apeak ,'! the church, but bare never tasted -. ; - power of an endlete Ufa. Ttey Um b ard about ..ui tang about the water ol lite but have never drank ol It by faith. They have eome to the wedding, but without tba waddlag-gamMot. What they tay aad do may peat for ehrlitlaalty amoag men, but In the Great Day when they ataad before Him whp baa eyet at lames f Are, . tbey ihallbavo lo hear those awful words, "Couaterfilt, to the left; depart Irom me; I never knew you." We turn atxtte tha thlp of Chrittl- anlly, tha mo,t beautiful, rnott pleas ant, aad safest ship anchored In tbe harbor. Itt orew bat baa long expe rience; lu ohart aad eompaaa are tbe produot of the Ontaipotent Ood. Ita pilot la perfectly familiar wish every thing connected wltb the voyage, and bat never failed to bring it to a safe landlag. It. it true it haa paaaed through mtny storm,, but whenever the pilot said: "Peace, be still," a great calm followed. Celaut tried to sink It, Voltaire tried to sink It, and Tom Paine tried to make it go to tbe bottom, but the thip movea on, dis tributing itt blettingt to the nations of the eartb, while ita opponeuts have made shipwreck. Gibbon's room at lake Lemao has been used.as a place to sell blblss, and tbe press that prlntel Voltaire's InBdel works haa been used to print the word of God, and the Young Men't Ohrittiau Association ball in Peoria, Ilk, now stands on ground once owned by tbe infidel In gertoll. Yet, it It (rue, that during the put 1900 years, tbe hnrricanee aod cyolonee of Infidelity have rushed upon the ship of Christianity, but it still moves triumphantly upon the wa ters, for the gates of bell shall not pre vail against it And behold, Itt record I It was born in Heaven, and came to tbit world on the wings of love. It closed hundreds of pagan temples and established the warship of the oqe true Uod. It is transforming the desert into a garden, and making the wilderness blossom as tbe rose. It removed tbe stone from the sepulchre of the world and revealed two shining angels.the one pardon; tbe other everlasting life, It brought Into the world, the river of Iife,at which mil liona have refreshed themselves, and shouted, "Hoeanna! to the Son of Da vid." Aad what haa Christianity done for the tool? It found It down and it lilting it up. It found It in darkness and is giriug it light. It found It In slavery, aod la giving It liberty. It found It feeding on the huaka of thia world, and la giving It a place at the banquet of grace. It found it in the way of de etruction, and put tt In the way that leada to that City, the glories of which mortal tongue cannot desorlbe. Our text aaya: "Prove all things." We have been proving, testing and comparing, aod experience, observa tion and history combine In declaring that the thlp ol Christianity it tbe best and safest anchored in the harbor. Now will we hold fast to It? On July 2nd, 1881, Jamea A. Garfield wat struck by the assassin's bullet. For weeks be lingered between life and death. On a Sabbath evening, In the month of August of that year, a great meeting was held in Cooper's Institute, New York. Ira D. Bankey, tbe great gospel singer, was1 in tha audience. While that great meeting was being held, the telegrams were living all oy er the ooontry i "The President is dy ing." Mr. Sankey was requested to sing. Complying with tbe request of tbe audience be came forward to the platform and sang President Garfield's favorite; ... , "Beyoad the nailing and the weeping j . I stall be soon; Beyond tbe farewell and the greeting, I shell he soon.1 ' The beloved President lingered a few more days and then crossed over tbe river. Friends, we are all standing along the ahorea of time. I look down the stream and I aee a tin ner getting into hit boat; Now It leaves the shores of time; now It' con tends with the billows of God's justice. Down It goes to the gates of Hell. I look up the stream and see a Christian getting into bla boat. But look at him, he le not alone. Some one it in the boat with him. And the form of the second is like that of the Son of God. See them steering across the river; and when they reach the other side, Jesus aaya to the angels : "Take thla man np to my Father's home." Friends, what abip are we travel. Ing on T On the ahip of Infidelity, Selfrighteouaness, or Sin? God help us to lea re it and take passage on the ship of Christianity, for It is tbe only one that takes Ita passengers to the haven of eternal rest.
