I have a friend, a Christian rjhvslclan. who one day became very anxious about the salvation of a brother Dhvsician. and so he ien nis omoe, went down to hts mam office ana saia, "is tne doctor in?" "No." renlled 4ha. rmnn ... , T ii-i-. - 'i, r i tint fn " HW. " a.M k in S.kn he comes In, tell him I calleJ and give blm my Christian oyi." This worl.lly doctor oame home after awhile, and the message was given to him. and he said within -it self, "What does he mean by leaving his Christian love for me?" And he became very much awakened and stirred In spirit, and he said after awhile, "Why. that man must mean my soul," and be went into hts back office, knelt dowu and began to pr'av. Then he took nis hat and went out to the office of this Christian physician and said. What can I do to be save 1?" and the two doctocs knelt in the office and commen led their souls to God. All the means use 1 in that case was only the voice .of one good man, saying. "Give my Christian love to the doctor." The voice of kindiv admonition. Have you uttered it to-day? Will you utter it to-morrow? Will you utter it now? Com pel them to come in. I think there is a great work also to be done in the way of prayer. It we had faith nough to-day, we could go before Go 1 and ask fortbe salvation of all the people in our shurches, and they would all be saved there and then without a single exception. Tnere might be professional men there, political men there, worldly men there, men who had not heard the gospel for twenty years, men who are prejmlioed against tbe preachers, men who are prejudiced against the music, men who are prejudiced against the church, men who are prejudiced against Go I I do not care they might be brought in by fer vent prarer you would compel them to some in. . Oh, for suoh nn earnest prayer!

I tell you to-day, my triends of n great sal vation. Do you understand what it is to have a Saviour? He took your place. He bore your sins. He wept your sorrow'. , He Is here now to stveyour soul. A soldier, worn out in his country's serv.ee, took tothe violin as a mode ot earning his living. He was found In the street ot Tienu i plaving his violin, but after awhile his han 1 became feeble and tremulous and he could no more make music One day, while he sat there weeping, a man passed along an 1 said 'My iriend, you ar too old an t feeble. G.vs me your violin.'' And he took the man's violin ana began to discourse most exquisite music, and the people gathered aroun t in larger and larger multitude, and thea ted man held bis bat, and the coin poured in un til tbe bat was full. "Now," said the man who was playing the violin, ''putthnt coin in your pockets." The coin was put in the o.d man's pockets. Then be held bis hat again, an 1 the violin ist played more sweetly than ev-r and played untii some of tbe people wpt and some stout ed. And again the bat was filled with coin. Then the violinist dropped the instrument and passed off, and the wafsper went, ''Wao is tt, who is it?" and some one ju-it eutertn the crowd said 1 "Why, that to Buoaer, the great violinist, known iUl through the re.ilm. Yes, that is tbe great violinist." Tne fact was, be had just taken that man' place ana assumed hts poverty, an 4 borne his bur den, and played bis mu-ie. anl earned hla livelihood, and made sacrifice tor the poor old man. 80 tbe Lord Jetus Christ eo nes down, and He flnda u in our spiritual pen ury, and across toe broken strings of His own oroicen nettir lie strikes a strain of in finite musio which wins tbe anient ion ot earth and heaven. He takes our p-iverty. He plays our music. He weeps our sorrow. He dies our death. A sacrifice for you, a sacrifice for me. OH. will vou accept this sacrifice now? 1 do not single out this and that man an 1 this and that woman.. But I say all may cone. Tbe aacrifiuo is so great all mav be saved.

At is made of one-eighth-inoh strips of wood from three-quarters to one and a quarter incnes wide, placed be tween two sheets of heavy straw board and united under heavy pressure with a strong cement. The process ot manufacture is peculiar.; Into the machine that molds the board are run two sheets of the straw board, from rolls, one from above and one from below a table onto which are fed from a feeding device. the strips of wood. A roller running in . a tank of ' th liquid cement rolls upon the inner surface of the sheets of straw boar. t, and the three layers of material run together between rolls and into a hy draulio press oapable of exerting a pressure 120 tons to the square inch. Ten feet of the board is stopped auto matically for a few seconls in the press, then run out upon a table fit ted with cut-off saws, where it is sawed to the desired length. It U then run upon trucks, placed in the dry-kiln, and when taken out is trimmed to forty-eight inches in width. The strength of the board as com pared with its weight is marvelous. The ends of an eighteen foot can be brought together without breaking or warping it. No conditions can warp it. Wall paper is put upon the beard and the fluish is as fins as upon any plastered .wall.
