It wag an exciting time in English history when Qu?en Elizabeth visits-1 Lord Leices ter at Kenil worth castle. Tha clocK in alt " the tower an i throughout the castle were stopped at the moment of her arrival, so continuing todoint to that moment as the one urpas.-ins all oth?rs in interest. The ocrs of th great banqueting liall were opened The queen marched in to the wound of the trumpet. Fourteen hundrel servants waited upon ta-5 guts. It was a scene that astonished all nations when they beard of it. Five thousand dollars a day did the banquet cost as it went on rtay after day. She was greeted to th piiace gates with floating islands and torches an 1 thetbunder of cannon and fireworks that set the niht ablaze, ami a burs, of music that lifted the whole sct-ne into euchantment. Ed-Tinning in that way, it went on from joy to joy an i from excitement to exciteoieut and from rapture to rapture. That was the great banquet that Lord Leicester spread in Kentl worth catle. Cardinnl WoJsey entertained the French ambassadors in Hampton Court. The best cooks of all the land provided for the table. The guests were kept hunting in the parks all the any, so that their aoptites miht n keen, and tnen in the evening hour they were tdiowndnto the banqueting hill, with ; table aglitter with imperial plate and ablush ' with the very costliest wine-,v an i the sacon l course of the feast was matleof fool in all shapes, of men and birds and beast?, and dancing groups, and jousting parties riding upon each other with uplifted lances. Lords and princes and ambassadors, their cups gleaming to the brim, drank first to the health of the kin; of England, and then to the health of the emperor of France. That was the banquet that Cardinal Wolsey ; spread m Hampton Court. Hut to- lay, my brothers and fitters, I iu ' viteyou to a grander entertainment. My Lord, the King, is the banqueter. Angels of God are the cupbearers, all th9 redeemed are the guests; the halls of eternal love frescoed with light and aved with joy and curtained i with unfading beauty are the banqueting place, the harmonies of etsrnity are, the music, the chalices of God are the plate, and I am one of the servants come out with in vitations to all the people, and oh that you might break the seal of the invitation and read in ink of blood, and with the tremulous hand of a dying Christ, "Come, come, for all things are now ready." Illustrating my text I go on. and in the first placi fay that tLe Lord JesuR Christ is ready. ; Canliual Woleey did not come into the ban- I quetjug hall until the second course of the ! leaeS, aud when 'he entered, booted and ; spurred, all the guests arose and cheered him; I but X have to tell you tha'- our banqueter, the ! Lord Jesus Chris , comes in at the beginning : of the teas'. Ay, he ha beea waiting for j his g lesta. waiting for some of them 1891 I year, witmg with mangled feet, waiting with 1 band on the punctured side, waiting with hand ou the lacerated temples, waiting, wait- ! ing! Wonder it is tha: the banqueter did not get weary and say,. '"Shut the door, and let the laggards tay out." No, he has been waiting. How much he is in earnest! Shall I show you? 1 gather up all the tears that flooded his cheek in eympalhv, all the blood that channeled h;s brow and bacx end hand and foot to purchase our redemption I gather up all the trr ani coming from midnight chill, and mountain hunger, and desert loneliness, and I put them into one bitter cry. 1 gather tip all th pangs that shot from cross and spike and spear into one groan. I take one drop of sweat ou his bro, and I put it under the glass of the gospel, and It enlarges to lakes of sorrow, in oceans of agony. That Chriat to-day. cinac'atad and worn and weary, comes here, nnd with a pathos in which tvery word is a Uearttreak aud every sentence a martyrdotn, Lesays to you, and he frays to me, Com, come, for all things are nov ready." At! i here is one word of five letters thit 1 would like to writp, but I have no sheet fair enough to M rite it on. and no pencil good enough to inscribe it. Give me a sheet from the hesvenly records, and some pencil used by angel in describing victory, and then with band struck with supernatural energy, and with pencil dioped in everlasting morning, I wilt write it out in capitals of love, J-K-S-U-S. Jesusl It is this One that is wailing for you and for roe, tor we are ou the same platform befor God. How lon he 1 waited for roe! How Ion.; ne Iijm watted for yon! Waiting as a banqueter waits for his delmyed guests, the vyia.vu smnl. inc Iha It.., brt rj Krimminrr and the maitrel with his finger oa stiff string ready to strike at the first clash of toe hoofs at the gateway. Waiting as a mother waits for a boy thst ten ytars ago went off dragging her bleeding heart after him. Wailing. Ob. can yon not give me some comparison intense enough, importunate enough, High as heaven, deep s hell, and vast as eternity? Not ex pecting that you can help me With such a com parison. I imply say he is waiting as only an all sympathetic Chnet knows how to wa'i for a wanderiug soul. 'Do you know what it was that saved Martin Luther? It was that one verse, "Tee just shall live by faith." Do you know what it was that brought Augustine from his horrible dis-aipation-1.' It was that one verse, 'Tut ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, andmake no prov sion for the flesh, to fulfil! the lusts thereof."' Do yon know what it was that saved Fiedler Vicar, th celahnued soldier?

Do not say you hav never been invited. I invite vou now to tha King's feast. One and alL Ail! AH! Bat I go fu-iber and tell you that the angels are ready. 8ome people thiuk when we lpsak about aagels we are getting in to the region of fancy. They say it is very well for a man when hs has just entered tha ministry to preach about the angels m Heaven, but after he has gone oa further it ia hardly worth while. My friend, thera is not anr mora eridence in the Bible that there is a God than that there are angels. Did they not swarm around Jacob's laider? When Laxir us's soul went up did taer n-; escort it? Did not Darid say, "The clis-ioLs of God are twenty thousand, even thousanls of angels?" Are tuey not represented as the chief har vesters of the judgment dav? Did not ona angel in one night slay 1S0.0W of Senna cnerib's troops? Oh. yes, our world is in co nmauication with two other world. All that comaiuaication is by ansjels. Wnei a bad mu ii ta die, a mn who has despisad God and rejected the Gos pel, the bai spirits coai-j on sulphurous wing and they shackle him, and trt to push h:m of? the precipices into the ruia, and they lift a gafTaw of diabolical exultation. But there is a line of aagiU, bright and beautiful and loving angels, mighty anrels, reaching all the wiy from earth to Heaven, and when others gather I'ke tiera 1 suppos-i the air is full of them. They hover. " They tilt about. They push down Iniquity from your heart. Thty are ready to rejoice. Look ! There is an angsl froTt tho throne of God. One moment a2"o it stood bafdre Corist and heard th doxology of die redeecnol. It is nere now. Bright immortal, what news from - th i golden ciiy? Speak, spirit blest. The answer comes melt ing oa the air, "Coma, coma, for all things are now ready." Angels ready to bear the tidings. Angels ready to drop the benediction. Angels ready to kindle the jo v. All realy. Beady. cherubim and seraphim. lieady, thrones and principalities and powers. Beady, Miohael the archangel. Yes, I go further and say that your glorified kindred are ready. I have not any sympathy with modern spiritualism. I believe it is born .u perdition. When I see the ravages it makea with humm intellects, when I see the homes it has devastated, when I see the bad morals that very often follow in its wake, I have no faith in modern soiritual em. ' I think if John Milton and George Whitfield have not anything better to do than to crawl ' under Rochester tables and rattle the lesves, they hd better stay home in glory. Bat tbe Bible distincllv teaches that the glorified in heaven are in syatparhy w.th our redeoiDtiou. Now, suppose you should pass into the king dom of God this morn ng, suppose you thuld say, "I am dous witu tiie sins of this world, lie upon all these follies, O Christ! I take thee now, I ta'ie thy service, I respoud to thy love, thine am I forever." Why, before the , t?ar of repentance had dried on" vour ciieek, j baf ore your ar-t praver hvl c os id. tho an?l ; standing with the message for hv so-il would cry upward.

'What has Income of the Church's thjw er," iays an able minister of thej-e times, '! cannot tell. It is partially, almost wholly, lost. The Church is now prudent, elf-re-. gsrding. frelf-admiring, self-protecting, trim ming her edges, lockinir her gates, repairing her walls, talking much within her borders. Where is the old world-linking power? So far gone down that men mockingly say, Pre? ntly there wili be no Church, of there will be a Church without an altar. Oh. for a lamp enklnd.ed by other tuau human hands!" This is the feeling of m?n who are pos-se-.s-.'d of spiritual vis4on. and are able to ee the real spiritual state of our Zion. Other eyes may b5 attracted by numbers, and wealth and c remony; but thoe whose eye have been opened to see, are not blinded "by this outside show. Underneath all this is clearly seen moral weakness, which is gradu ally slipping the fou ml alio i of the whole" structure. The great need of the Church is a baptism of lire, to consume the rubbish of forma ini and ceremony, and bring forth what remains as "gold tried In the tire, or as "tdlv'er tried in a furnace of earth, purifiYd seveu times.' t " BUSTLED Ot:T OF HIS SPiniTUALITY." Dr. Chalmers is quoted by the editor of the oiidon Sunday School Chronicle as say ing in a time of intense activity that he was 'but-tied out of his spirituality.' How many ("hri tian worker can re-echo that senti'mcrt! S. much trading, so many calls, so much tdudving, so niany newspapers to rend, k inui-ii of this, that. n1 the other, that there ho time for niciiitation and quiet thouzhtfiilness. Many Christians are butled o"t of their -ptritual.ty bv their reli gious work itself. Their re uion coiiMi-ts in going to meeting, and serving commit teef . and sewing for the heathen, nnd visit ing the nek, and distributing tracts. all mot excellent aud necessary lrnis of ser vice. andetall of the Mirring. busy kind. A voice conies to ail such: "Thee thimrs ought ye to have done, and not to have left the others prayer, communion and medi tation undone." Busy, bujtling work is no substitute for quiet, thoughtful preparation of the hearts The fallow ground Yields the largst increase; the rested soul Iears the sweetest pi ritual fruits. Modern life feeins to necessitate intensity of action. liut'ing activity is thrust upon'iui. In the langugcof the street, everyone who gels along must hustle and ru-t!e. which arc the modern rquival nts for Dr. Cba!iner' buttle. We have a good deal of re,ct for tbe Christian who can 'rustle,' but we have still more for the one who knows not only how to rustle, but how to rest, how to set-s his soul in patience, how to be still in Gol's presence as well us active in his ser vice. A real danger of inaJcrn life, a danger far more imminent now than in tbe time ofDr. Chalmers, Is that we shall le hutled out of , all spirituality; but the tendency can becor- . reeted, the d:"n -er can lc overcome. A half hour a d iy pp rr alone with God and God Word will leave us nil the time we need ror active service, and will prevent any tiarger of being bustled out of our activity. Gold en llule. YI.n AND FAITH. The ''Junk of Turk" is the name given to certain rock off the coast of Maine. On these rocks the schoonc ld i P.irker struck a few weeks ato. One of the mnsts in falling made a bridge over which five or six men passed to the long and narrow ledge which rose out of the sea. There they r-tised their signal a shirt on an oar and then crouched together, protecting one another as well as they could. It was a fearful place in a fearful storm. They wished some vessel would come to their rescue. They longed to be saved. Hut there was little hope that they would le seen, and if they were sen there was not much chance thatthev eoul 1 In' taken olT. The same watchful Providence, the kind Father who m:ide the broken mnst net s a lrid.:e,turn-d a revenue cutter that way. and the Mgnal was seen and the men were found. Hut ft ws" impossible to reach them. The ih had soon urown toward hope, but the hop; wa chs? to d spair. The men on the cut ter longed to save them, but the boat which was lowered was dashed back against the vessel. It could dot live In such a sea. At last the men o- the rock saw the cutter turn away. Then they had hone. For they knew the heart of the sailor. They knew that thefticcr and rrew would not leave them to perish. Th vknew that the vessel had gone to rt turn with the means of reaching tbem. They sieved in the men on tbe cutter thouzh. thev did not know what they would do. This was faith. They eouM not see f ut thT bdied. Thy had c-nfidence in the nun l-ecauel while they did not know their nsmes. ihev knew their heart their cvuraire and patience and hu rnanitr. So thev wsiiel in faitli through the. long niglit. with the ses breaking iv r them. The faith was rewarded. In the morning the cut'f-r was there azain, with more men and with the mean of reaching the ledrr. The sea had rne down a little but was till earful. Yet the rocks were rr-ched and all tbe men were taken fT. and they were ear ried in afrtr into Portland harhV.r. Uih ibg is op icg; fsiJi is another. P.ith rests on knowledge. We trust men whom we know to be trusty. A shipwrecked man on a rock can trust the ssilors him from their mastbeaJ. and ba will do m they tell him and be nitM "'.-Ji wish to be saved from our sin ana iw uew We hop to enter heaven wben we me. i we need mo-e than to wish and hope need faith.

We may not know all which He will do but we know Him. l e assures us that He will svc u if we trut Him to do as He tells us. e must kt Him take us from the roc; we lnm-t get into His boat; and He will carry us to the shore of the Hearenl? country.

The following extract from the Diocesan Record touches a question of great import ance to the cause of temperance. that is the physical effect of alcohol on the human system. In tbe first place, how, or in what manner do you think you are benefited by this dnnk? , We'll, you will say it has an exhilarating; effect. Yes, it has an exhilarating effect; imr, mark, it is for the moment. And how is this stimulating effect produced And is it conducive to a man's general health? There are certain properties in this intoxi cating liquor which will heat tbe blood, thereby causing its more rapid circulation. and a consequent heating of the body. Hut. besides thoxs proirtics, it also contains others which act upon the Lrain and rrou system, and thereby produce this buoyancy of spirit. Hut it is a well-known fact that stimulants of whatevtr kind, when taken often, have. by appropriating the proper and natural funct ons of the digestive organs of the t-tomacb, a lethargic effect upon this organ. The more stimulants we take the mors lethargic the stomach becomes, and the more nece-sary it is for us to take them, till at length tue stomach refuse to digest any fol without the aid of its former assistants. but the stomach is not the only organ whose power is lessened or impaired Ly the use of stimulants or iutoxicating liquor. The nervous system Itecomes to weak and haltered that tha slightest shuck completely prostrates the victim. The small veins by w hich circulation with the brain is carried )u, become so inflated by tha rapid circuia ;ion of the blood consequent on tho taking of the liquor, that tne patient can never b :rrateu for certain diseases, i. e., the cura tive or ameliorative ncedirines cannot b administered witnout endangering the life of the patient. J n fact it is seloom or never at-, tempted; because the only effective medicine that could be administered would cnus surh a rush of blood toward tho brain, as would cau.- the already too-inflated veins to burst, and consequently cause the immediate death of the iierson. It if, therefore, apparent that ictcmprr once has an euervatmg effect upon th boly, that its appareut exhilarating effects are but transient, and create a corresponding de pression of spirits aiterward; tn at it consid erably impairs the digestive organs of the stomach: that it weakens the nerves; and finally, that it brings the habitual user to kucu i state, that the tawing of certain di e'tse means to aim inevitable death. SXMirOLK IXDfANS AX1J IXTOXtCAVTS. The P.ev. Father Ignatius, the Episcopal monk, sojourning for the prewnt in tan country, cas lately Leen in Floriia, for a season of rest front his religious labors, and while there visited the Seminole Indians.
