lets fly a javelin, expecting to pin the

Again tho javelin is flung, and David

Hosoato David with a harp and enraged
Saul with a javelin. Who would not
rather play tho pnp than (ling tho other?
But that was not tho only time intho
world's history that harp and javelin
met. Where their birthplaco was I can
not declare. It is said that tho Ijto was
first suggested by tho tight drawing of
tho sinews of a tortoise acrosa its shell,
and that tho flute was first suggested by
tho blowing of tho wind across a lcd of
reeds, and that the ratio of musical in
tervals was first suggested to Pytliago
ras by the different hammers on tho nuvil
of tho smithy, but tho harp seems to mo
to have dropped out of tho sky and the
javelin to have been thrown vy from tho
pit.
The oldest stringed instrument of tho
world is the harp. Jubal sounded his
harp in tho book of Genesis, David
played many of bis psalms on tho harp
while he sang them. Tho captives in
Babylon hung their harps on tho willows.
Josepbus celebrated tho invention of the
10-strlnged harp, Tiniothetu, tho Milo
sian, was imprisoned for adding tlio
twelfth strine to tho harn. becauso too
much luxury of sound, might enervafo
tho people. Egyptian harps, Scottish
harps, Welsh harps, Irish harps have
been celebrated. What an inspired tri
angle!
Everlasting honors to Sebastian Erard,
who by pedals invented called tho foot
as well as the hand to tho harp. When
tho harpsicord maker for whom lie
worked discharged him for his genius,
tho employer not wanting to be eclipsed
by his subordinate, Erard suffered from
tho samo passion of jealousy tlwt threw
Saul of my text intothofltdurihgvhich
ho flung a javelin at tho liarpist. Tho
harp is almost human, as yon find when
you put your finger on Its pulse.
Other instruments have louder volco
and may bo better for a battle charge,
but what exquisite sweetness slumbers
between the harp strings, waking at tho
first touch of tho tips of tho fingers. It
can weep. It can plead. It can soothe.
It can pray. Tho fluto Is more mellow,
tho trumpet Is more startling, tho organ
Is more majestic, tho cymbals are more
festive, tho drum Is more resounding,
but the harp has a richness of Its own
and will continuo Its mission through all
timo and then take part In celestial sym
phonies, for St. John says he heard In
heaven the harps of Ood.
THE AKCIKNT JAVELIN,
But the javelin of my text is just as
old. It Is about fij tvkt long, yvlMi wood
en handle and steel point, keen and sharp.
But it belongs to the great family of
death dealers and is brother to sword
and spear and bayonet, and first cousin
to all the Implements that wound and
slay. It has cut its way through tM
ages. It was old when Saul, in the scene
of my text, tried to harpoon David. It
has gashed the earth with grave tresebei.
Its keen tip is reddened with the blood
of American wars, English wn, Qer
man wars, Russian wars, Prmuk war.
Crusader wars and wars ot all nation
nd of all ages.
Th structure of tho jarella shows
what It was made for. The piowsbwe
is sharp, but aimed to est the earth U
preparatioo for harvests. The lightning
rod is sharp, but aimed to disarm the
lightnings and secure safety. Tb ax
sharp, but aimed to fell forests and
clear the way for bnisan habitation.
The knife is sharp, but aimed to cut the
bread for sustnanee. But the javelis
U sharp only to oprs trtueaa arteries and

Bcrvcngo on Christian's tonguo or pen

tho ono who employs it than 'tho'ono
against whom it is employed. What! A
javelin hurled at you and fallen at your
feet, and you not hurl it back again?
Yes. 1 havo tried the plan. I learned
it from my father nnd havo practiced it
all my Ufo, and it works well, and by

by a javelin is not by tho sharp edgo, but
at tho dull end of the handlo to him who
wields it. I leave it to you to say which
got thd best of that fight in tho palace
Saul or David.
See also in ray subject that the fact
that a man sometimes dodges is not
against his courage My text says that
when Saul assailed him, "David avoided
out of his presence twice" that is, when
the javelin was flung, ho stepped out of
its direction or bent this wayor that in
other words, ho uougeu, But all thoso
who havo read tho life of David know
that he was not lacking in prowess.
Divli had faults, but cowardice was not
one of them.
When David, who was, I guess, about
H feet high, went out to meet the giant,
who was, I guess, about 10 feet high, it
was a big undertaking, and the Inequali
ties of the struggle were so great that it
struck the giant's idea of the ludicrous,
and lie suggested to the little fellow that
be would make a fine dinner for a bui

will give thy flesh unto the fowls of 0

COVtUOK Of THIS WOHTBOW.
When David went out to meet that
tAant and conanered him, he demon
strated, as he did on other occasions, his
courage. But I am so glad that when Saul
flung that javelin David dodged it, or
the ehlef work of his life would never
have been done. What a lesson this is
to those who go into useless danger asd
expose their lives or their reputations or
their usefulness unnecessarily. When
duty demands, no ahead, though all earth

Sea also in my subject tho unreason
able attitude c-f javelin toward harp.
What had that harp in DaVld's hand
dono to tho javelin in Saul's hand? Had
the vibrating strings of tho ono hurt tho
keen edgo of tho other? Was thoro an
old grudgo between tho two families of
sweet Bouhu add sharp ctlt? Had tho tri
anglo ovof ihBUlted tho polished shaft?
Why tho deadly aim of tho destroying
. weapon against tho instrument of sooth
ing, calming, healing sound?
Well, 1 will answer that if you will
toll md why tho hostility of so many to
tho cospol. why tho virulent attacks
against Christian religion, why tho angry
antipathy of so many to tho mostgoninl,
most inviting, most salutary influence
under nil tho heavens. Why will men
glvd tneifrlivos' to writing and speak
ing and Warring against Christ and
the, gospel? Why tho javelin of tho
world's hatred nnd rago against tho
harp of hoavenly love? You know
arid! know iricn who get wrathfully
red in thd foco and foaming at' tho
mouth and ubo tho gesture of tlio clinch
ed fist and put down their feet with in
dignant emphasis and invoke all par
cas'm and irony nnd vituperation and
scorn and splto nt the Christian reli
gion. What has tho Christian religion
dono that it should bo so assailed?
Whom hath it bitten nnd left with hy
drophobia virus In their veins that it
should sometimes bo chased as. though it
were' a maddened canino? '
To head off and trip up and push
down nnd corner our religion was tho
dominant thought in tho Ufo .of David
Humo and Voltaire and Shaftesbury
and oven tho Earl of Bochester, until
ono day In a princely houso, In which
thoy blasphemously put God on trial,
and tho Earl of Rochester was tho attor
ney against God and religion and re
ceived tho applauso of tho wholo com
pany, when suddenly tho earl was struck
under .conviction nnd cried: "Good God,
that a man who walks uprightly, who
goes tho wondorful works of God and
has the 'use of his senses and reason,
should use them in dofying his Croatorl
I wish I had been a crawling lopor In n
ditch rather than havo acted toward
God as I havo dono."
Javelin of wit, javelin of irony, javelin
of scurrility; javolin of sophistry, javo
Hn of human and diabolic hostility havo
been flying for hundreds of yenrs nnd are
flying now. But aimed at what? At
something that has como to devastate
tho world? At something that slays na
tions? At something that would maul
and tramplo under foot and excruciate
and crush the human racoi"
Tlffi WONDERFUL ium.
No, aimed at the' gospel harp harp
on which prophets 1 ployed with some
what lingering and uncertain fingers,
but harp on which' apostles played with
sublime certainty, and martyrs played
while their fingers were on fire. Harp
that was dripping with tho blood of the
Christ, out of whoso heartstrings tho
harp was chorded and from whoso dying
groan tbo strings were keyed. Oh, gos
uel harp! All thy nerves a-tremblo
with stories of self sacrifice Harp
thrummod by fingers long ago turned
to dust. Harp that mado heaven listen
and will yet make all the earth hear.
Harp that sounded pardon to my sinful
soul and peaco over tho grove whore my
dead sleep. Harp that will lead tho
chant of tbo blood washed throng re
deemed around tho throne. May a javo
lin slay mo before I fling a javelin at
that. Harp which it seems almost too
sacred for mo to touch, and so I call
down from their thrones those who used
to finger it and ask' them to touch it
now. "Como down, William Cooper,
and run your fingers over tho strings of
this harp." Ho says, "I will," and ho
