Lambs are carried off in the mht. aad children ven turing only a little way from their father's house are found manifled and dead. The fact is the land was infested -vlth lions, and few people dared meet one of these grizzly beasts, much If ss corner or attack it. As a j?ood Providence would have jt. cue morning R footstep of a Hon was tracked in the snow. It had been, out on its devouring errand throuKh the darkness, but at last it Is found by the impression of the four paws on the white surface of the ground which way the wild lwast came and which wav it had cone. Perilous undertaking, tmt lienaiah, the hero . oi the text, arms himself with such, weapons I as those early days afforded, gunpowder having been invented in a far subsequent century by the German monk Bertholdus S'hwarz. Therefore without K'in or any kind of firearms. llenaiah of th text no doubt depended on the sharp steel ede for hip own defense and the slaughter of the lion n he followed the trak through the Fnow. tt may have leri a javelin; it may have been only a knife. put what IVnabih laks in weapons he will mak" up in strength of arm and skill of stroke. But where ' the Hon. We must not get oft his track , in the snow. The land has many J cisterns, or pits, for catching rain, the I rainfall being Very scarce at ectaiu seasons. ! and hence these cisterns, or reservoir, are i digged here and there and yonder, bion. ' hav an instinct which seems to tell them ; when 1hy are pursued, and this dread mon I ster of which I speak r etreats into one of I these cisterns which happened to be free of water and is there panting from the long run nn l licking its jnws after a repast of humaa I flesh nnd after quaffing the red vintage of I human blood. I5''naiah is all alert and conies cautiously fin toward the hiding place of this terror of the Holds. Coming to the verge (Jf the pit. he looks down at the lion, nnd the lion looks up at him. What a moment it was when their eyes clashed! Put while a modern Du f'hnillu.

Hut thequlk stroke of the Steel edge flashed agnin and again and again nntil the snow was no longee white and the right foot of triumphant B"naia'i is half covered with the tawny mane of the slain horror of Palestine. Now you sec how f-mphatie. and tragic find tremendous are the words of iny text. 'lb1 went down and slew a lion in a pit in a pnowy day.' Why put that in the JJible? Why put it twice in th Bible, once In the. book of Samuel ami her in the book of Chronicles? Oh. the practical lessons arc so many for you and for me What a cheer in this subject for nil those of you who are in conjunction of hosttle"circumstatic',Thrce things were against JVuiaiah of my text In the moment of combat, the snow that im peded his movement, the pit that environed pirn in a small space, and tha lion, with open Jnw and uplifted paw. And yet I t ear tho fdiont of Umaiah's victory. Oh. men and women of three troubles, you say. 'I could Ftand oho. and I think I "could stand two, but three are are lea-t one too many."

"I.-rt me goto Mr. Whiti-field's Gol." Oh. I am s-j glad that lienaiah of my text was not the only oue who triumphed over a lion ?n a nit on a snowy day. Notice in my text a victory over bad weath-T. It was a Fnowy day. " when one's vitality is at a low ebb anl the spirit3 are naturally depressed and one does hot feel like undertaking a great enterprise, when JJenaiah rubs bis hands together to warm th-iin by extra friction, or trashes his arms around him to revive circulation of ths blood, and then goes at the lion, which was all the more fierce and ravenous, because of tho sharp weather. Inspiration here admits atmospheric hindrance. The snowy day at Valley Forge well nigh put ah end to th3 struggle for American independence. The snowy day demol-shed Nipoleon's army on the way from Moscow. Th" inclemency of January and February weather ha, some years bankrupted thou sands of hit -hants. Long succession of stormy Sabbahs has crippled innumerable chur -lies. Lighthouses veiled by the snow on many a crtst have failed to warn off from the rocks the doomed frigate. Tens of thou sands of Christians of nervous temperament by the depression of a snowy day almost despair of re.i'-hing heaven. Yet "in that styl' of weathr BQnaiah of . the text achieved his most celebrated victory, and l"t us by the grace of God become victor over influences atmospheric, ff we are happy only whn the wind blows from the e..-Hr north w"sr. and the thermometer is abov freeZ;ng point, and the sky is an in verted blue cup of sunshine poured all over us. it is a religion 95 per cent. off. Thank Cbi there are Christians who, though their whole life through sickness 1ms been n snowy day, have killed every lion of despondency that dared to put its cruel paw against their suffering pillow. It wa3 a snowy day when t Is! Tilgrim Fathers set foot not od a bank of ib overs.but on the cold New England rock, and from a ship that might have been more ap propriately railed after a December hurri cane than aftr a "Mayflower" they took possession of this great continent. And amid more cnilly worldly circumstances many a good man or a good woman has taken poasessiou of a whole continent of spiritual satisfaction, valleys of peace and rivers of gladness and mountains of joy, Christ landed In our world not in the month of Mav, but in the stormy month of Decern ber, to show that we might have Christ in winter weather and on & snowy day. Notice everything down in the pit that snowv ilav depended unon BanaiaU's weapon. There was as much strength in one muscle of that lion as in all the muscles of both arms of 15naifih. It is the s-trongest of beasts, and has been known to carry off an ox. It9 tongue is so rough that it acts as a rasp tearing off the flesh in licks. The two great canines at each side of the mouth make es cape impossible for anything it has once seize.. Yet Benarah puts his heel on the neck of this "king of beasts." Was it a dagger? Was it a javelin? Was it a knife? I cannot tell, but everything de pended on it. But for that Benaiah's body under one crunch of the monster would have been left limp and tumbled in the snow, And when you and I go into the fight with temptation, if we have not the right kind of weapon, instead of our slaying the lion th lion will slay us. The sword of the f$piritl Nothing inearth or hell can stand before that Victory with that, or no victory at all. By that I meanpraver to God, confidence in His rescuing power, saving grace, almighty de liverance. I do not care what you call it. I call it "sword of the Spirit." And if the lions of all the jungles of perdition should at once spring upon your soul by that weapon of heavenly metal you can thrust them back and cut them down, and etab them through and leave them powerless at your feet. Your ood resolution wielded against the powers which assault you is a toy pistol against an Armstrong gun; is a penknife held out against the brandished sabers of a Heintzelman'a cavalry charge. Go Into the fight against sin on vour own strength, and the result will be the hot breath of the lion in your blanched face, and his front yaws one on each lung. Alas! for the man not fully armed down in the pit on a snowv dav, and before him a lion! All my hearers and readers have a big fight of some sort on hand, but the biggest and the wrathiest lion which you have to fight is what the Bible calls "the roaring lion who walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Now. you have never seen real lion uniess you nave seen him in India or Africa, just after capture. Long caging breaks his spirit, and tne con stant presence of human beings tames him. But you ought to see him spring against tne iron bars in the zoological gardenB oi Calcutta and hear him roar for the prey. It makes one's blood curdle, and you shrink back, although you know there is no peril, rienty of lions in olden time. Six hundred of them wcro slaughtered on one occasion in the presence of Pompey in the Roman amphitheater. Lions came out aud de- troved the camels wuicn camea tne Dag- gage of Xerxes army. In Bible times there were so many lions that tney are ire- qucntly alluded to in the Scriptures. Joel, the prophet, describes the ''cheek teeth" ot a great lion, and Isaiah mentions among the attractions oi heaven tnat no lion shall be there. ' and Arao3 speaks oi shephf L-d taking a lamb's ear out of the mouth of a lion, and Solomon describes the righteous hold as a lion." and Daniel was a great lion tamer, and David and Jeremiah and St. John often sneak of this creature. But most am 1 impresses ny wnax i na? quoted from the Apostle Teter when he calls the devil a lion. That means strength. That means bloodthiretiness. That means emeltv That means destruction. Some oi von have felt the strength of his paw. and iha chnmness of his tooth, and the horror ot " ...... I T hu mi7 lfs tie is a savage aevn. no roared at everything good when Lord Claverhouse assailed the Covenanters, and Bartholomew against the Hugue nots one August night when the ben touea for the butchery to begin, and the ghastly joke in the street was.

"J assassin nuivra ni plunged into the victims, and this monsrer has had under nis paw many oi iuo Kmuura, souls of all time, and fattened witnine spou of renturies he comes for VOU. But I am clad to say to all of you who have rof the worst in such a S truggle that there is a lion on our side if you want him. Revela tion ; "Th, lion of Judah's tribe." A T.imh to u5. but a lion to meet that other lion. and vou can easily guess who will beat in that "fight, and who will be beaten. When two opposing Hons meet in a jungle in India, von eAnnot tell which will overcome U,i whi.-h will be overcome. They rrinre t ei.h other for a moment, and then with full strength of muscle they dash acainst each other liko two thunder bolts of colliding stormclouds. and with jaws iiL-A th enih of avalanches, and with a re sounding voice that makes the Himalayas tremble, and with a pull and tear and clutch and trample and shaking of the head from side to side until it is too much for human endurance to witness, and. though one lion may be left dead, the one which has con quered crawls away lacerated and gashed and lame and eyeless to bleed to death in an adjoining jungle. But if you and I feel enough our weakness in this bat tle of temptation and ask fo- the divine help against that old lion of hell, described in St. Peter will ;o tothestronger lion described in Revelation, and it will h- no uncertain grap ple but under on" omnipotent stroke the de vouring monster that woul I slay our soul shall go reeling ba-k into a pit 10.000 times "deeper than that in which Bcnaiah slew the lion on a snowy day.

The best work for God and humanity has b:-en done on the snowv day. At gloomy Marine Terrace, island of Jersey, the exile, Victor Hugo, wrought the mightiest achievements of his pen. Ezekiel, banished ani bereft and an invalid at Corn hill, on the banks of Chebar, had his momentous vision of the cherubim and wheels within wheels. By the dim light of a dungeon Window at Bedford, John Euavan sketches the "Delectable. Mountains." Mil ton writes the greatest xxcai of all timf i without eye. Mk-hael Angelo carved a Etatue oUt of fdow, and all Florence gazed id raptures at its exquisiteness; and many of God's servants have out of the cold cut their immortality. Persecutions were the dark background that male more impressive the courage and consecration of Savonarola, who, when threatened w:th denial of burial, said. "Throw me into the Arno if you choose; the resurrection day will find me." and that is enough. B?naieh on a cold damp, cutting, snowy day gained leonine triumph. Hard ship and trouble have again and again ex alted and inspired and glorified their sub jects. The bush itself has mounted higher And flourished unconsumed in Are. Well, we have had many suowy days within the past month, and added to the chill of the weather was the chilling dismay at thJ nonarrival of the ocean steamer Gascogne, Overdue for eight days, many had given her up as lost, and the most hopeful were very anxious. The cyclones, whose play is shipwrecks, had been reported being in wildest romp all up and down the At lantic. The ocean a few days before had swallowed the Elbe, and with unap peased appetite seemed saying. " Oiv us more of the best shipping." The Norman die came in on the same tra"k the Gascogne was to travel, and it hni not seen her. The Teutonic, saved almost by the superhuman efforts of captain and c came in and had heard no gun of distress from that missing steamer. There were pale faces and wring ing hands on both continents, and tears rolled down cold cheeks on those enowy days. We all feared that the worst had hapriened and talked of the City of Boston as never heard of after sailing, and the steamship President, on which the brill iant Cookman sailed, never reported and never to be heard of again until the tima when the sea gives up its dead. But at last, under most powerful glass at Fire Island, a ship was seen limping this way over the waters. Then we all began to nope that it might De the missing French liner. Three hours of tedious and agonizing waiting and two continents in suspense. When will the eyeglasses at Fire Island make revelation of this awful mystery of the sear I here it isl Ha, ha! The Gascogne! Quick! Wire the news to the city! Swing the flags out on the towers! Ring the bells! Sound the Whistles of the shipping all the way up from Sandy Hook to New York Battery! "She's safe! She's safe!" are the words caught up and passed on from street to street. "It ia the Gascogne!" is the cry sounding through all our delighted homes and thrill ing all the telegraphic wires of the continent and all the cables under the sea, and th huzza on the wharf as the gangplanks were swung out for disembarkation was a small part ot the huzza that lifted both hemi spheres into exultatioD.
