There havo boon events on earth and
id heavon that Bccmed to demand a

Orotiua was right and this sDonco oc
curred at tho timo of tho destruction
of Jerusalem, that scene was so awful
and so prolonged that tho inhabltanta

this was tho causo of silenco in heavon

HALF HOURS TO BE IlKHKMnCRKD.
My subject also impresses mo with
tho immortality of a half hour. That
half hour mentioned in my text is
more widely known than any other
period frt tho calendar of heaven.
Nonp of tho wholo hours of heaven
are measured off, none of the years,
nono of tho centuries. Of tho mil
lions of ages past and the millions of
ages to como. not ono i3 esixx-ially
meosuwxl off In the Bible. Tho half
hour of my text is made immortal.
Tho only part of eternity that was
over measured by earthly timepiece
was measured by tho minuto hand of
my text.
Oh, tho half hours I They decide
everything. I am not asking what
you will do with tho years or montlis
or days of your llf o, but what of the
half hours? Tell mo tho history of
your half hdurs and I will tell you
tho story of your wholo lifo on earth
and tho story of your whole lifo in
eternity. Tho right or wrong tilings
you can think in thirty minutes, the
right or wrong things you can say in
thirty minutes, tho right or wrong
things you can do in thirty minutes
ore glorious or baleful, inspiring or
desporate. Look out for tho frag
monto of timo. Thoy aro pieco-J of
eternity.
It was tho half hours between shoe
ing horses that made Elihu Burritt
tho learned blacksmith, the half
hours between professional calls as a
physician that made Aborcrombie tho
Christian philosopher, tho half hours
between his duties as a schoolmaster
that made Salmon P. Chaso chief jus
tice, tho half hours between shoo
lasts that mado Henry Wilson vice
president of tho United States, the
half hours between canal boats that
mado James A. Garfield president.
Tho half hour a day for go6d books
or bad books, tho half hour ft day for
pruyor or indolonco, tho half hour a
day for helping others or blasting
others, tho half hour before you go
to business, and tho half hour after
you return from business: that
makes tho difforonco between the
scholar and the ignoramus, botweon
tho Christian and tho infidel, bo
tweon tho saint and tho demon, bo
tweon triumph and catastrophe, be
tween hoavon and hell. Tho ni03t
tromondous tilings of your lifo aud
mbio woro certain half hours.
Tho half hour when In tho parson
age of a country minister I resolved
to bocomo a Christian thon and thoro;
tho half horn whon I decided to bo
como a preacher of tho Gospel; tho
half hour whon I realized that my
son was dead; tho half hour whon I
stood on tho top of my hoitso in Ox
ford atroot and buw our church burn ;
tho half hour in which I entored
Jorusalom ; tho half hour in which 1
asconded Mount Calvary; tho half
hour in which I Btood on Mars hill;
tho half hour in which tho dedicatory
prayer of this tomplo was mado, and
about ton or fifteen other half hours
are tho chief times of my lifo.
You may forgot tho uamo of tho
oxact years or most of tho important
ovonts of your oxistenco, but thoso
half hours, like tho half hour of my
text, will bo immortal. I do not
ouory what you will do with tho
twontibth century, I do not quory
what you will do with 1892, but
what will you do with tho uoxt half
hour? Upon tliut hinges your ilea
tiny. And during that somo of you
will receive tho Gospel and mako
comploto surrendor, and during that
others of you will mako final anil
fatal rejection of tho full and froo
and urgent and Impassioned offer of
lifo eternal.
Oh, that tho next half hour might
bo tho most glorious thirty minutes
of your earthly oxistonco. Far back
hi history a great geographor stood
with a Bailor looking at n globe
that represented our planot, and ho
pointed to a placo on tho globo whore
ho thought thoro was an undiscov
ered continent, Tho undiscovered
continent was America. Tho geog
rapher who pointed whore ho
thought thero was a now world was
Martin Behaim, and tho sailor to
whom ho allowed it was Columbus,
This last was uot satisfied till ho had
picked that gem out of tho sea and
eot it in tho crown of tho world's
geography.
Oh, yo, who havo boon Bailing up
Mid down tho rough seas of sorrow
and Bin, lot mo point out to you an
other continent, yea, anothor world,
that you may yoursolves fiud a rap

words, mako this half hour, begin

A STUDY OF HKAVEN.
Again, my text suggests a way of
studying heaven so that wo can bet
ter understand it. The word "eterni
ty tnar we uaniue x much is an
immeasurable word. Knowing that
we could not understand that word,
tho Bible uses it only once. Wo say,
"Forever and over." But how long
is "Forever and over?" I am glad that
my text pute under our oyo heaven
for thirty minutes. Ah when you
would seo n great picture, you put a
sheet of papor into u scroll and look
through it, or join your forefinger to
your thumb and look through tho
circlo lKitweon, and tho picture be
comes more intense, so this master
piece of diea von by St. Jolin is more
impressivo when wo take only thirty
minutes of it at a timo.
Now wo havo something that we
can como nearer to grasping and it is
a quiot heaven. When we discuss
about tho multitudes of heaven, it
must bo almost a nervous shock to
thoso who have all their lives been
crowded by many people and who
want a quiet heaven. For the last
thirty-fivo yei.rsl havo been much of
tho timo in crowds and under public
Bcrutiny and amid excitements, and
I havo sometimes thought for a few
weeks after I reach heaven 1 would
like to go down in somo quiet port of
tho realm, with a few friends, and
for a littlo whilo try comparative
solitude.
Then thero are those whoso hear
ing is so delicate that thoy got no
satisfaction whon you describe tho
crash of the eternal orchestra and
thoy feel like saying, as tho good
woman in Hudson, N. Y,, said, after
hearing mo speak of tho mighty
chorus of heavon, "That must bo a
great heavon, but what will become
of my poor head?"
Yes, this half hour of my text is a
still experience. "Thero waa filenco
in heaven for half an hour." You
will find tho inhabitants all at homo.
Enter tho King's palaco and take only
a glimpse, for wo havo only thirty
minutes for all heaven. "Is that
Jesus?" "Yes." Just under tho hair
along his forehead is tho mark of a
wound made by a bunch of twisted
brambles, and his foot on tho throne
has on tho round of his instep another
mark of u wound mado by a spike,
and a scar on tho palm of tho right
hand and a scar on tho palm of tho
loft hand. But, what a counte
nance I What a smile! What a gran
dour I What a loveliness ! What an
overwhelming look of kindness and
grace! Why, ho looks as if ho had
redeemed a world ! But como on, for
our timo is short. Do you seo that
row of palacsa? That is tho Apos
tolic row. Do you seo that long
reach of architectural glories? That
is Martyr row. Do you seo that im
menso structure? That is tho biggest
houso in heavon; that is "tho House
of Many Mansions." Do you seo that
wall? Shftdo your oyes against its
burning splendor, for that is tho wall
of heaven, jaspor at tho bottom and
amethyst ut tho top.
Seo this river rolling through tho
heart of thtfjgreat metropolis? That
is tho x-ivorVvoiTcerning which those
who onco UvikI on tho banks of the
Hudson, or tho Alabama, or the
Rhine, or the Shannon, say, "We
novor saw tho like of this for clarity
and sheen." That is the chiof river
of heavon-so bright, so wide, so
deep. But you ask, "Whore aro the
asylums for tho old?" I answer,
"Tho inhabitants are all young."
"Whore are tho hospitals for the
lamo!" "Thoy areallagilo." "Where
aro tho infirmaries for the blimlfand
deaf?" "Thoy all see and hear."
"Where aro tho almshouses for the
poor?" "Thoy aro all multimilliou
aires." "Where aro tho inobriate
asylums?" "Why, thoro are uo
saloons." "Whore aro tho gravo
yards?" "Why, they nover die."

VOUH FIRST HALF HOUR.
But how will you spend the first

ship of ter you havo gono in to stay?
After your prostration before tho
throno in worship of him who mado

I think tho rest of your first half

ceiving your reward if you have been
faithful. I have a strangely beauti
ful book containing tho pictures of
tho medals Btruck by tho English
government in honor of great bat
tles; these medals pinned over tho
heart of tho returned heroes of tho
army on great occasions, tho royal
family present tho Crimean modal,
tho Victoria Cross, tho Waterloo
medal.
In your first half hour in heavon
in somo way you will bo honored
for tho earthly struggles in which
you won tho day. Stand up before
all tho royal houso of heaven and re
ceive tho insignia whilo you aro an
nounced as victor over tho droughts
and freshets of tho farm field, victor
ovor tho temptations of the stock ex
change, victor over professional al
lurements, victor over domestic in
felicities, victor over mechanic's Bhop,
victor ovor tho storehouse, victor
over homo worriments, victor over
physical distresses, victor ovor hered
itary depressions, victor over sin and
death and hell. Take tho badgo that
celebrates thoso victories through our
Lord Jesus Christ. Take it in tho
presence of all tho galleries saintly,

Something of n Weapon.
Polico Captain Cox exhibits a mur
derous weapon in tho city jail, tho
like of which has never been seen in
this city. It is a folding sword that
can bo used either as a club or a
sword, and when opened is about two
feet and a half in longtli. Its blade
mado of heavy steel, tapers to a
point at tho end, and both edges are
sharpened.
Tho weapon is heavy enough to
take off a head at a single blow. It
can bo opened in an instint by press
ing a Bmall spring at tho end of the
hilt, which lots a heavier spring
throw out tho blado. Captain Cox
says tho weapon is on historical relic,
having been found on tho field of tho

Jailor Hudson say that it was onco
tho property of Turkish brigands.

of the queen and fixed her eyes upon
her majesty. Then she disappeared

In tho antechamber or In tho royal

Tho Duke came back and resumed
his scat. His pale face excited the
curiosity of the assembly, and at last
he was obliged to tell what had hap
pened. Queen Theresa, when she
heard the description of the visitor,
arose with the cry, "It is for me that
she has come I" Shortly afterward tho
queen returned to Munich and died

Here is something from Mr.Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
ters from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptlonhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou
bles, and woyld therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion ? Listen ! "I
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than a hundred different per
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market"
