'E’OTTEe spiritual triumphs on the heels of its worldly misfortune? It was what my text calls the power from on high. That was thirty-three years ago, and though there have been in various parts of the land many stirrings of the Holy Ghost, there lias been no general awakening. Does it not seem to you that wo ought to have and may have the scenes of power in 1857 eclipsed by the scenes of power in 1891? The circumstances are somewhat similar. While we have not had national panic and universal prostration as in 1857, there has been a stringency in the money market that has put many of the families of the earth to their wits’ end. Large commer­ cial interests collapsing have left multi­ tudes of employes without means of support. The racked brains of business men have almost or entirely given way. New illustrations ail over the land of the fact that riches have not only feet, on which they walk slowly as they come, but wings on which they speed when they go. "Eternal God! thou knowest how cramped and severe and solemn a time it is with many. And as the business ruin of 1857 was followed by the glorious triumphs of j grace, let the awful struggles of 1890 be followed by the hallelujahs of a nation saved in 1891. | General Miles, after carefully review­ ing tlie Indian situation, comes to tliel HARDING &.

Now I would like to ask if you think that all their prayers in your behalf have been an­ swered. “No.” you say, “but it is too late; the old folks are gone now.” I must courteously contradict you. It is not too late. I have a friend in the minis­ try who waa attending the last hours of an aged Christian, and my friend said to the old Christian, “Is there no trouble oa your mind?” The old man turned his face to the wall for a few moments, and then said: “Only one thing. I hope for the salvation of my ten children, but not one of them is yet saved. Yet I am sure they will be. God means to wait until I am gone.” So he died. When my friend told of the cir­ cumstances eight of the ten had found the Lord, and I have no doubt the other two before this have found him. Oh, that the long postponed answers to prayer for you, my brother, for you, my sister, might this hour descend in power from on high. The history of these unanswered prayers for you God only knows. They may have been offered in the solemn birth hour. They may have been offered when you were down with scarlet fever or diphtheria or membranous croup. They may have been offered some night when you were sound asleep in the trundle bed, and your mother came in to see if you w’ere rightly covered in the cold winter night. They may have been offered at that time which comes at least once in almost every one’s life when your father and mother had hard work to make a living, and they feared that want would come to them and you. They may have been offered when the lips could no longer move and the eyes were closed for the long sleep. Oh, unanswered prayers of father and mother, where are you? In what room of the old homestead have they hidden? Oh, unanswered prayers, rise in a mist of many tears into a cloud, and then break in a shower which shall soften the heart of that man who is so hard he cannot cry, or that woman who is ashamed to pray! Oh, armchair of the aged, now empty and in the garret among the rubbish, speak out! Oh, staff of the pilgrim who has ended his weary journey, tell of the parental anxie­ ties that bent over tbee! Oh, family Bible with story of births and deaths, rustle some of thy time worn leaves, and let us know of the wrinkled hands that once turned thy pages, and explain that spot where a tear fell upon the passage, “O Absalom, my son, my son, would God I had died for thee!” on, FOR TOWER FROM ON HIGH! Good and gracious God! what will be­ come of us, if after havi ng had such a devout and praying parentage, we never pray for ourselves! We will pray. We will begin now. Oh, for the power from on high, power to move this assemblage, power to save Brooklyn and New York, power of evangelism that shall sweep across this continent like an ocean surge,'power to girdle the round earth with a red girdle dipped in the blood of the cross! If this forward movement is to begin at all there must l>e some place for it to begin, and why not this place? And there must be some time for it to begin, and why not this time? And so 1 sound for your ears a rhythmic invitation, which, until a lew days ago, never came under my eye, but it is so sweet, so sobbing with pathos, so triumphant with joy, that whoever chimed it, instead of being anonymous, ought to be immortal: KAI L TODD'S I Come, leave thy burden at the cress; CouDt all tby gains but em[»ty dress.

The telephone has for some time been used in various hospitals as a means of communication between patients who were suffering from infectious diseases and their visiting friends. It is now proposed that the phonograph be brought into the hos­ pital for 1 he entertainment of the patients, and it is argued that a phonograph in a ward, with a large and constantly renewed supply of cylinders, would be a source of amusement and pleasure to the patients, which would admirably supplement the hospital treatment.—New York Commer­ cial Advertiser.
