Is chimerical. You say that the impenitent

disaster, turuv the pain Urn caus of his

Wront and distress bveHboS. them sud
lcnly. Did the distress heal them? No
thev went Tipht on.
That man was flunp of dissipation". "You
must stop drinking," said the doctor, "and
quit the tost life you nro lealin, or it will
destroy you." The patient suffers paroxysm
after paroxysm, but under skillful medical
treatment he begins to sit up, bepins to walk
about the room, bepins to prt to business
And. lo, ho poes back to the same prop-shop
for his mornintf dram, and his evening dram
hnd the drams ttween. Flat down apain?
Same doctor ! Same physical anguish ! Same
medical warning ! Now the illness is more
protracte.l, the liver is moie stubborn; the
stomach more irritable, and thedipestive or
gans are more rubelliaus. But arter a while
he Is out again, poes back to the dramshops
jihd toes th same round of sacrilege against
his physical health. '
He sees that his downward course is riiin
inc his household , that his life Is a perpet
ual perjury against his marriago vow ; that
that broken hearted woman is so unlike the
hopeful young wife whom he married that
her old schoolmates do hot recognize her
that his sons are to be taunted foa lifetime'
by the father s drunkenness ; that the daugh
ters are to pass into life under the scarifica
tion of a disreputable ancestor. Ho is
drinking up their happiness, their prospects
for this life, and perhaps forthe life to come.
SometinAes an appreciation of what he is do
ing comes upon him. His nervous system is
all a-tangle. From crown of head to sole of
foot he Is one achinp, rasping, crucifying
damning torture. Where is her In hell on
eartb. Does it reform hint?
After awhile lie h:s delirium tremens, with
ft whole jungle of hissing reptiles let out on
his pillow, nnd his screams horri.'y the
neiphbors as he dashes out of his bed, cr--Inp,
"Take these things off me !" As he sits
pale and convalescent the doctor says :
"Now. I want to have a plnin talk with you,
my dear fellow. The next attack of this
kind you have you will be bej-ond all medi
cal skill, and you will die." Ho get3 better
and goes forth into the s irno fight again.
This time medicine takes no effect. Consul
tation of physicians nsrree in saying there is
no hope. Death ends the scene..
That process of inebriation, warning and
dissolution is going on within a stone's throw
of j-ou, going on in all the neighborhoods of
Christendom. Tain does not correct. Suf
fering does not reform Whit is true in one
8?nse is true in all senses and will forever be
so, and yet men are expecting in the next
world purgatorial rejuvenation. Take up
the printed reports of tho prisons of the
United States, and you will find that the
vast majority of tho incarcerated have been
there before, some of them four, five, six
times. With 1.000,000 illustrations all work
ing the other way in this world, people are
expecting that distress in tho next state will
bo salvatory. You cannot imagine any wors s
torture in nny other world than that which
some men have suffered here, and without
any salutary consequsnce.
Furthermore, the prospect of a reforma
tion in the next world is more improbable
than a reformation here. In this world the
lifo started with innocence of infancy. Iu
the case supposed the other life will open
with all the accumulated bad habits of many
years upon him. Surely it is easier to build
a strong ship out of new timber than out of
an old hulk that has been ground up in the
breakers. If with Innocence to bagin with
In this life a man does not become godly,
what prospect is there that in the next world,
starting with sin. there would be a seraph
evoluted? Surely the sculptor has more
prospect of making a fine statue out ot a
block of pure white Farian marble than out
of an old black rock seamed and cracked
with the storms of a half century. Surely
upon a clean white sheet of paper it is easier
to write a deed or a will than upon n sheet
of paper all scribbled an 1 blotted and torn
from top to bottom. Yet men sem to think
that, though the life that began here com
paratively perfect turned oat badly, the next
life will succeed, though it starts with a dead
failure.
"But," says some one, "I think we ought
to have a chance in the next life, because
this life is so short it allows only small op
portunity. We hardly have time to jorri,"
orinnrl IWirAAn ralla ttnrl ffrwmK fl,A vrAef '.
ut i uc uuo mutual iuucuiux iuo maiuio uijips,
other." But do you know what made thWajji
cient deluge a necessity? It was the longe
vity of the antediluvians. They were worse',
in the second century o their lifetime than
in the first hundred years, and still worse in
the third century, and still worse all the way
on to 700, 800 and 900 years, and the earth
had to be washed and scrubbed and ' soaked
and anchored clear out of 6ight for more
than a month before it could be made fit for
decent people to live in.
Longevity never cures Impenitency. All
the pictures of Time represent him with a
scythe to cut, but I never saw any picture or
Time with a case of medicines to heal.
Seneca says that Nero for the first five years
of his public life was set up lor an example
of clemency and kindness, but his pith all
the way descended until at A. D. he be
came a suicide. If 800 years did not make
antediluvians any better, .but only made
them worse, the apes of eternity could have
no effect except prolongation of depravity.
"But," says some one, "in the future state
evil surroundings will be withdrawn and
elevated influences substituted, and hence
expurgation and sublimation and glorifica
tion." But the righteous, all their sins for
given, have passed on Into a beatific state,
and consequently the unsaved- will be left
alone. It cannet be expected that Dr. Duff,
who exhausted himself in teaching Hindops
the way to heaven, and Dr. Abeel. who gave
his life in the evangelization of China, and
Adoniram Judson, who toiled for the re
demptlea of Borneo, should be sent down by
some celestial missionary society to educate
those who wasted all their earthly existence.
Evangelistic and missionary efforts are
ended. The entire kingdom of the morally
bankrupt by themselves, where are the
salvatory influences to come from? Can one
speckled and bad apple in a barrel of dis
eased apples turn the other apples goo.1V
Can those who aro themsslves down help
others up? Can those who have themselves
failed in the business of the soul pay the
debts of their spiritual insolvents? " Can a
million wrongs make one right?
Foneropolis was a city where King Fhillp
of Thracia, put all the bad people of his
kingdom. If any man had opened a primary
ichool at Foneropolis, I do not think the
parents from other cities would have sent
their children there. Instead of amendment
in the other world, all the associations, now
that the good are evolved, will b dcen?rn
ting ud down, Yen wewtd nt wait to tend
A man to a cholera or yellow fever hospital
for his health, and the great lazaretto of the
next world, containing the diseased and
plague struck, will be a poor place for moral
recovery. If the surroundings in this world
were crpwded ?f temptation the surround
ings of the next world, after the righteous
have passed up and on, will be a thousand
per cent, more crowded of temptation.
-The Count of Chateaubriand made his lit
tl. son sleep at night nt the top of a castle
turret, where the winds howled, and where
specters were said to fyiunt the place, and
whildthe .mother and aisVers Almost died
with fright the son tells us hat he process
gave him faerves that could not tremble and
.tou rage that hetef faltered, tut I don't
think that towers of darkness and the spec
tral world swept by sirocco and euroclydon
will ever fit one for the land of eternal sun
shine. I wonder what is the curriculum of
that college of Inferno; where; aftef proper
preparation by the siDS t ttii .life; the can
didate .ders, passing on . from freshman
class of depravity to sophdmore of abandon
ment, and from sophomore to junior, and
from junior to senior, and day of gradua
tion comes; and .with diploma signed by
satari; the presiderih aril btlief profeasorial
demdulacS, attesting that the candidate has
been long enough tinder their drill, ho
passes up to enter heaven ! Fndemonium
a preparative course for heavenly admis
sion ! Ah, my frieada, satan and his coherts
have fitted uncounted millions for ruin, but
never flUei one soul for happiness !
Furthermore, it woilld hot be Bafe fof this
worl 1 if men . Had hjiothef chance id tho
next: If it had been announced that, how
ever wickedly a man might act in this world,
he could fix it up all right in the next,
society would be terribly demoralized, and
the human race demolished In a few years.
The fear that if we are bad and unforgiven
here it will not be well for us in the next ex
istence is the chief influence that keeps civil
ization from ruslilug ba3' to simi.bafbar
isnii aha semibarbarisni from rushing into
mighty savagery, and midnight Savagery
from extinction, for it is the astringent im
pression of all nations, Christian and
heathen, that there is no future chance for
those who have wasted this.
Multitudes of men who ttfe kept within
bounds would say - ,!Go td; how' Let me
get all ilt of this life there is in it. Come,
gluttony and inebriation and uncleanness
and revenge and all sensualities, and wait
upon me! My life may be somewhat short
ened in this world by dissoluteness, but that
will only make heavenly indulgence ou a
larger scale the sooner possible. I will over
take the saints at last and will enter the
heavenly temple only a little 'later than
those who behaved thems?lves here. I will
on my way to heaven take a little wider ex
cursion than those who were on earth pious,
and I shall go to heaven via gehenha and
via sbeol.'' Another chance in the next
world means free license and wild abandon
ment in this.
Suppose you were a party in nn important
case at law, and you knew from consultation
with judges and attorneys that it .would be
tried twice, and the first trial wtyild be of
little importance, but that the second would
decide everything, for which trial -vyouldyou
make the most preparation, for which retain
the ablest attorneys, for which be most anx
ious about the attendance of witnesses? You
would put all the stress upon tho second
trial, all the .anxiety, all the expenditure,
sayinp, "The first is nothing, tho last is
everything." Give the race an assurance of
a second and more important trial in the
eubsequent life, and all tho preparation for
eternity would be "post mortem," post fu
neral, post sepulchral, and the world with
one jerk be pitched off into impiety and god
lessness. Furthermore, let me ask why a chance
should be given in the next world if we have
refused innumerabie chances in this? Sup
pose you give a banquet, and you invite a
vast number of friends, but one man de
clines to come or treats your invitation with
indifference. You in the course of twenty
years give twenty banquets, and the same
man is invito 1 to them all and treats them all
in the same obnoxious way. After a while
you remove to another bouse larger and bet
ter, and you again invite your friends, but
send no invitation to tho man who declined
or neglected the other invitations.
Are you to blame? Has he a right
to expect to be invited after all
the indignities he has done you? God in
this world has invited us all to the banquet
of His grace. He invited us by His provi
dence and His spirit1 355 days of every year
since we knew our right hand from our left.
If we declined it every tima or treated the
invitation with indifference and gave twenty
or forty or fifty years of indignity ou our
part toward the banqueter, and at last He
spreads the banquet in a more luxurious and
kingly place, amid the heavenly gardens,
have we a right to expect Him to invite us
apain, and have we a right to blame Him if
He does not invite us?
If twelve gates of salvation stood open
twenty years or fifty years for our admis
sion, and at the end of that time they are
closed, can we complain of it and say :
"These gates ought to be open again. Give
us another chance?" If thesteamer is to sail
for Hamburg, and we want to get to Ger
many by that line, and wa read in every
evening and every morning newspaper that
it will sail on a certain day, for two weeks
we have that advertisement before our eyes,
and then we go down to the docks fifteen
minutes after it has shoved off into the
stream and say "Come back! Give me
another chance ! It is not fair to treat mo
in this way ! Swing up to the dock again
and throw out planks and let me come on
board !" Such behavior would invite arrest
as a madman.
And if, after, the gospel ship has lain at
anchor before our eyes for j ears and years,
and all the benign voices of earth and
2Kjaven have urged us to get on board, as
she might sail away at any moment, and
after awhile she sails withoat us, is it
common senso to expect her to come back i
lou might as well go out on the highlands
at' Navesink and call to the Majestic after
he has been three days cut and expect her
to return as to call back an opportunity for
heaven when it once has sped away. All
heaven offerei us as a gratuity, and for a
lifetime, we refuse to take it, and then
rush on the bosses of Jehovah's buckler de
manding another chance. There ought to
be, there can be, there will be. no such
thing as posthumous opportunity. Thus
our common sense agrees with my text, "If
the tree fall toward the south or toward the
north, in the place where the tree falletb
there it shall be."
You see this idea lifts this world up from
an unimportant way station to a platform of
stupendous issues and makes all eternity
whirl around this hour. But one trial for
which all the preparation must be made in
this world or never made at all. That piles
up all the emphases and all the climaxes and
all the destinies into life here. No other
chance ! Oh. how that augments the value
ani importance of this chance!
Alexander with his army used to surround
a city and then would lift a great light in
token to the people that if they surrendered
before that light went out all would be well,
but if once the light went out then the bat
tering rams would swing against the wall,
and demolition and disaster would follow.
Well, nil we need do for our present and
everlasting safety Is to make surrender to
Christ, the King and Conqueror surrender
of our hearts, surrender of our lives, sur
render of everything. And He keeps a great
light burning, light of gospel invitation, light
kindled with the wood ot the cross and
flaming up against the dark night of our sin
and sorrow. Surrender while that great
light continues to burn, for after it goes out
there will be.no other opportunity of making
peace with God through our Lord Jescs
Christ. Talk of another chance ! Why, this !
is a supernal chance ! !
In the time of Edward VI., at the battle of j
Musselburp. a private soldier, seeing that
the Earl of Huntley had lost his helmet, took j
off his own helmet and put it upon the hea 1 i
of the earl and the head of the private sol-j
dier, uncovered, ho was soon slain, whiS j
his commander rode safely out of the battle.

I am in the burnished judgment hal! cf the
last da5 A great white throne Is lifted,
but the judge has not yet taken It. While
we are waiting for his arrival I hear immor
tal spirits in conversation. "What are you
waiting herd for?" says a soul that went up
from Madapascar to a soul that ascended
from America- Thd .latter, sayst "I came
from America where forty years I heard the
gospel preached and Bible read, and from
the prayer that I learned in infancy on my
mother's kn;e until my last hour I had gos
pel advantage, but for some reason I did not
make the Christian cho'ce, and I am here
wait in p fcr the judge to give me a new trial
and aiicither chance; ''Strange says the
other. "I had but one gospel call id Mada
gascar, and I accepted it, and I do not need
another chance."
"Why are you here?" says one who on
earth had feeblest infdloct to one who had
great brain and. Bilvery tongue and scepters
of influence: The lattef respond" : "Oh, I
knew more than my fellow. I mastered
libraries and had learned titles from col
leges, and my name was a synonym fot
eloquence and power. And )-et I neglected
my soul, and I am hero waiting for a new
trial." "Strange,' says the one of the
feabte earthly capacity. "I knew but little
of wdrldly kriowlelge. but I knew Christ
and mate Uim my pirtner, and have no need
of another chance."
Now the ground trembles with the ap
proaching chariot. The great folding doors
of the hall swing open. 'Stand back?" cry
the celestial ushers. "Stand back, and let
the ju iga of quick and dea 1 pass through '
He takes the throne, and looking over the
throng Of liatidn$ He saysj "Come to judg
ment, the last judgment, the holy judg
ment? ' By one flash froai the throne all the
history of each one flames forth to the vi
sion of Himself and all others. "Divide"
says the judge to the assembly, "Divide I"
echo the walls, "Divide !" cry the guards
angelica
And now the immortals separate rushing
this way and that, and after awhile there is
a great aisle between them, and a great
vacuum widening and wideaing, and the
judge, turning to the throng on one side,
says, "lie that is righteous, let him bo right
eous still ; and he that is holy, let him be
holy still," and then, turning toward the
throng on the opposite side, he says, "He
that is unjust, let him be unjust still ; and
he that is filthy, let him be filthy still," and
then, lifting one hand toward each group,
he declares, "IT the tree fall toward the
south or toward the north, in the place
where the tree falleth there it shall be."
And then I hoar something jar with a great
sound. It is the closing of the book of
judgment". The judge ascends the stairs be
hind the throne. The hall of the last assize
is cleared and shut. The high court of
eternity is adjourned forever.

Makinjr the Desert to Blossom.
"The desert wastes of New Mexico
and Arizona may yet be broad fields
of pasturage covered with herds of
fattening cattle if the hopes of the
men who are deeply interested in cer
tain experiments are realized," isaid
J. F. Wilcox, a large ranch owner in
the Panhandle country of Texas.
"The expectations of these men are
based upon the wonderful vitality of
alfalfa, or Mexican clover, the growth
of which is astonishingly rapid and a
field of which will yield several crops
in a season. Its roots are said to go
far down in search of moisture, some
times to a depth of eighteen to twenty
feet, and ivs nutritious properties and
the avidity with which stock eat it are
well known. The large land and live
stock investment companies which are
now operating in New Mexico and
Arizona have, as an essential part of
their schemes of utilizing the desert
lands, the growing of large tracts of
alfalfa, with which to feed their range
cattle and other stoek. At one ranch
alone, La Cucoa, in Mora County, New
Mexico, 1000 head of range cattle are
now being fed and fattened for mar
ket on alfalfa. The Mexican clover is
grown by aid of modern irrigation
and the lands laid down to it tend to
iinprovo in fertility. Stockmen down
in that country have lost all faith in
the prowess of modern rain-makers
and their schemes, and they are turn
ing their efforts into more practicable
channels." San Francisco Chronicle.
Nutritious Fruits.
There are many kinds of fruit which
of themselves are sufficient to sup
port healthy life, amoag which may
be mentioned the date, banana and
plantain, tigs when dried, the bean of
the carob or locust tree, and the fruit
of the baobab or monkey-bread tree,
which is eaten by the natives in West
Africa. All these contain sufficient
fat, sugar, starch, pecten, gum and
nitrogenous matter to support healthy
life. Of all these preference must be
given to the banana, which supplies
to many millions a permanently nutri
tive food, and to the fruit of the data
palm, or Phoenix dactylifera, which
serves as an exclusive article of ali
ment in parts of North Africa, Arabia
and Persia. "In all Fezzan," saya
one authority, "the date is the 6taple
food not only for men, but for camels,
horses and dogs. Nineteen-twen-tieths
of the population live on dates
alone daring nine months of the
year." In the Hadji, or pilgrimages,
the price of dates at Mecca and Me
dina forms the first question asked be
tween the Arab pilgrims going to and
returning from the sacred city. Cakes
of dates pounded and kneaded into a
solid mass constitute the main nutri
ment of the caravans crossing the
Sahara. From the fresh juice of the
date wine and, also, vinegar are made,
and spirits distilled, while -the stones
or seeds are roasted and largely tned
instead of coffee. New York Dis

keeper of the "Wood Island light, has
become famous this week. It is cus
tomary for passing steamers to salute
the light and the keeper returns it by
ringing the bell. The other day a tug
whistled three times. The captain did
not hear it, but the dog did. He ran
to the door and tried to attract the
captain's attention by howling. Fail
ing to do this he ran away and then
came a second time with no better re
sult. Then he decided to attend to
the matter himself, so he seized the
rope, which hangs outside, between
hii teeth and began to ring the b-11.

destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
