COIN MOTTOES.
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

idnilt of bucIi an Interpretation through
the lrrosla'Jble habit of the public uf
ixrwrlng tfco lttcs'-loa of tbo doslg-ier

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

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

A sermon hy . th Rev, W. C.
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.

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

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.
