Text: "I answered thee in the secret ra place of thunder."?Psalms 81: vii. ft 61 It is past midnight, and 2 o'clock in the morning; far enough from sunset and sun- w rise to make the darkness very thick, and e, the Egyptian army in pursuit of the escaping Israelites are on the bottom of the Red ^ Sea, its waters having been sot up on either ei side in masonry of sapphire, for God can p] make a wall as solid out of water as out of granite, and the trowels with which these m two walls were built were none the less m nowerful because invisible. Such walls n, i Lad never before been lifted. When I saw ft the waters of the Red Sea rolling through jj. the Suez Canal they were blue and beauti ! ful and flowing like other waters, but as ?i the Egyptians look up to tbem built into w ! walls, now on one side and now on the rj | other, they must have been frowning wa- w ters, for it was probable that the same a< | power that lifted them up might suddenly c, i fling them prostrate. A great lantern of s( cloud hung over this chasm between the two walls. The door of that lantern was opened toward the Israelites ahead, giving ;e them light, and the back of the lantern a] i was toward the Egyptians, and it growled u, I and rumbled and jarred with thunder; not fc | thunder like that which cheers the earth jE j after a drought, promising the refreshing m shower, but charged and surcharged with jj, threats of doom. The Egyptian captains pj lost their presence of mind, and the horses reared and snorted and would not answer ftj to their bits, and the chariot wheels got interlocked and torn off, and the charioteers v, were hurled headlong, and the Bed 8ea fell on all the host. The confusing and con- U] tKnn/lof rrr o a 4 r? oncTOdr fn thfl lVUUUllig IUUUUVJA 1' MS Aai ittMifv* .V ?W ?Jprayer of the Israelites. With their backs cut by the lash and their feet bleeding and their bodies decrepit with the suffering of jj( whole generations, they had asked Almighty a] God to ensepulcher their Egyptian pur- jc suers in one great sarcophagus, and the jc splash and the roar of the Red Sea as it n, dropped to its natural bed were only the shutting of the sarcophagus on a dead host. That is the meaning of the text, when God f( says: "I answered thee In the secret place ol Of thunder." cl Now, thunder, all up and down the Bible, tj Is the symbol of power. Small wits depre- p elate the thunder, and say, "It Is the ? lightning that strikes." But God evident- c| ly thinks the thunder'of some importance g( or He would not make so much of it. That jj man must be without imagination and with- w out sensitiveness and without religion who (.j can, without emotion, see the convention w of summer clouds called to order by the C1 falling gavel of the thunderbolt. There is m nothing in the natural world that awes and pi solemnizes me as the thunder. The Egyp- ^ tian plague of hail was accompanied with this full diapason of the heaven. While ^ Samuel and his men were making a burnt offering of a lamb, and the Philistines were ^ about to attack them, it was by terrorizing jj thunder they were discomfited. Job, who ai was a combination of the Dantesque and n, the Miltonic, was solemnized by this rever- j beration of the heavens, and cried: "The gj thunder of His power, who can undern-rwl Ha aI\o1 Ioti/?QD tllQ 11 I PQrflQ V*T7 iauui nuu juo unnuou^va ?mv uukvawv wj q saying: "Can'st thou thunder with a voice C| like Him?" and he throws Rosa Bonheur's V( "Horse Fair" into the shade by the Bible ^ photograph of a wur boree, when he de- C( scribes his neck as "clothed with thunder." ^ Because of the power of James and John, D( they were called "the sons of thunder." The law given on the basaltic crags of p( Mount Sinai was emphasidd withthis cloudy [a ebullition. The skies all .round about St. ^ John at Patmos were full of the thunder of tj war, and the thunder of Christly triumph, ^ and tho thunder of resurrection, and the ^ thunder of eternity. g But when my text says, I answered thee ^ in the secret place of thunder, it suggests ^ there is some mystery about the thunder. 6( To the ancients the cause of this bombarding the earth with loud sound must have gt been more of a mystery than It is to us. ty The lightnings, which were to them wild ^ monsters ranging through the skies, in our cj time have been domesticated. We harness */V ?AkU l?e n*wl TttA AO?A If in . OIDUH IV^It J IV/ TCUtWV/i7 UUU UW vugv lb 1U ?? lamps, and every schoolboy knows something about the fact that It Is the passage of i,] electricity from cloud to cloud that makes cj the heavenly racket which we call thun- j_ der. But, after all that chemistry has tj. taught the world, there are mysteries about t? this skyey resonance, and my text, true in the time of the psalmist, is true now, and always will be true, that there Is some secret about the place of thunder. jL Now, right along by natural law, there tv Is always a spiritual law. As there is a ? secret place of natural thunder, there is a secret place of moral thunder. In other , words, the religious power that you see P abroad in the church and in the world has a hiding place, and in many cases it is ^ never discovered at all. I will use a simil- ? itude. I can give only the dim outline of a particular case, for many of the remarkable circumstances I have forgotten. Many *' years ago there was a large church which l; was characterized by strange and unaccountable conversions. There were no " great revivals, but individual cases of ^ spiritual arrest and transformation, a ~ young man sat in one of the front pews. R; He was a graduate of Yale, brilliant as the north star and notoriously dissolute. Everybody knew him and liked him for P his genialty, btt deplored his moral er- Pj rantry. To please his parents he was every ^ Sabbath morning In church. One day there was a ringing of the door bell of the pastor of that church, and that young man, whelmed with repentance, implored prayer and advice, find passed into complete re- ^ formation of heart and life. All the neigh- i? borhood was astonished and asked, Why ?; wag this? His father and mother had said " nothing to him about his soul's welfare. On another side of the same church sat an ^ old miser. He paid his pew rent, but was te hard on the poor and had no interest in any ? philanthropy. Piles of money! And people said: "What astrugglehe will have, when " he quits this life, to part with his bonds and mortgages." One day he wrote to his c minister: "Please to call immediately. I ?' 1 Ai 4. nkAll^ nave u LUULLcr ui grcai iuipuuaut,o auuui Which I want to see you." When the pastor came in the man could not speak for emotion, but after awhile he gathered self-con- u trol enough to say: n< "I have lived for this world too long. I Pj want to know if you think I can be saved, '* and, if so, I wish you would tell me how." Upon his soul the light soon dawned, and m the old miser, not only revolutionized in j31 heart but in life, began to scatter bene- Ia factions, and toward all the great chari- *c ties of the day he became a cheerful and . bountiful almoner. What was the cause of ln this change everybody asked; and no one ^ was capable of giving an intelligent 1,1 answer. In another part of that same church sat Sabbath by Sabbath a beautiful " and talented woman, who was a great ^ society leader. She went to church because that was a respectable thing to do, and in the neighborhood where she lived it was hardly respectable not to go. Worldly was she to the last degree, and all t0 her family worldly. She had at her house m the finest germans that were ever danced and the costliest favors that were ever given, and though she attended church she never liked to hear any story of pathos, and as to religious emotion of any kind 11 she thought it positively vulgar. Wines, ^ cards, theaters, rounds of costly gayety were to her the highest satisfaction. One day a neighbor sept in a visiting card and this lady came down the stairs in tears, and told the whole story how she had not V"1 slept for several nights, and she feared she j*1 was going to lose her soul, and she won I dered if some one would not come arounu ? find pray with lier. From that time her entire demeanor was changed, and though Y she was not called upon to sacrifice any of !*' | her amenities of life, she consecrated her beauty, her social position, her family, her " | all to God and the church and usefulness. s? | Everybody said in regard to her: "Have 2,' you noticed the change, and what in the * world caused it?" And no one could make r<j satisfactory explanation. In the course of 01 two years, though there was no general w awakening in that church, many such iso- U1 Inted cases of unexpected and unaccountable conversions took place. The very people whom no one thought would tt be affected by such considerations were in converted. The pastor and the officers of pi the church wore on the lookout for the di solution of this religious phenomenon, ai "Where is it?" they said, "and who is it, fc and what is it?" cc At last,the discovery was made and all ei was explained. A poor old Christian wo- m an standing In the vestibule of the chnrol ae Sunday morning trying to get hei reath again before she went upstairs t< le gallery, heard the inquiry and told th< icret. For years she had been in th< abit of concentrating all her prayers fo: articular persons in that church. Shi ould see some man or woman present ad, though she might not know the per >n's name, she would pray for that persoi atil he or she was converted to God. A1 er prayers were for that one person?just lat one. She waited and waited for com lunion days to see when the candidate; irmemberfhfp stood up whether her pray :s had been effectual. It turned out thai leso marvelous instances or conversioi ere the result of that old woman's pray rs as sat in the gallery Sabbath by Sabbath Bnt and wizened and poor and unnoticed little cloud of consecrated humanity hov ring in tbe galleries. That was the secr?v lace of the thunder. There is some hid an, unknown, mysterious source for al ost all the moral and religious power de lonstrated. Not one out of ten millioi rayers ever strikos a human ear. On pub o occasions a minister of religion voice! le supplications of an assemblage, but th< rayers of all the congregation are ii lence. There is not a second in a centur] hen prayers are not ascending, but my ads of them are not even as loud as t hisper, for God hears a thought as plainly j a vocalization. That silence of suppli itlon?hemispheric and perpetual?is thi icret place of thunder. The dav will come?God hasten it?whei soplo will find out the velocity, the ma sty, the multipotence of prayer. We braj bout our limited express trains which pu 3 down a thousand miles away in twenty mr hours, but here is something by whici i a moment we may confront people 500! lies away. We brag about our telephones it here is something that beats the tele hone in utterance and reply, for God says Before they call, I will hear." We braj :>out the phonograph, in which a man cai >eak, and his words and the tones of hii >ice can be kept for ages, and by the turn ig of a crank the words may come fortl pou the ears of another oenturv, bu rayer allows us to speak words Into thi irs of everlasting remembrance and 01 le other side of eternities they will bi eard. Oh, ye who are wasting your breatl ad wasting your nerve3 and wasting you ings wishing for this good and that gooc >r the church and Jhe world, why do yo\ Dt go into the secret place of thunder? "But," says some one, "that Is a beautl il theory, yet it does not work In my case >r I am in a cloud of trouble or a clou< t persecution or a cloud of poverty or t oud of perplexity.** How glad I an lat you told me that. That is exactly thi lace to which my text refers.

You know that in in illectual endowment you are their su srior, while in the matter of moral an< sligious influence they are vastly your su srior. Why is this? To find the reve ktion of this secret you must go bael lirty or forty or perhaps sixty years ti le homestead where this man wai rought up. It is a winter morning, anc le tallow candle is lighted and thi res kindled, sometimes the shaving urdly enough to start the wood. Thi other is preparing the breakfast,the blue Iged dishes are on the table, and the lid o le kettle on the hearth rattles with thi earn. The father is at the barn feeding le stocK?toe oats tnrown into me noraes In and the cattle crunching the corn. Thi lildren, earlier than they would like an< Iter being called twice, are gathered a le table. The blessing of God is asked 01 lefood, and, the meal over, the family Bi e Is put upon the white table cloth and i lapter is read and a prayer made, whicl icludes all the interests for this world an< le next. The children pay not much at sntion to the prayer, for it is about th< ime thing day after day, but it puts v lem an impression that ten thou . 3ars will only make more vivid aDd tre endous. As long as the old folks livi leir prayer is for their children and thei lildren's children. The reason we ministers do not accom lish more is because others do not pra; ?rus enough, and we do not pray for onr lives enough. Every minister could tel ju a thrilling story of sermons, sermon tsty and impromptu, because of funeral id sick beds, annoyances in the parish ;t those sermons directing man; >uls to God. And then of ser ons prepared with great care, an< jsearcu ituu iuii uuiuicuu^iou, iuu.t srmons falling flat or powerless. Thi ifference was probably in the amount o rivate prayer offered for the success o lose services. Oh! pray for us! Poor sermons in thi alpit are the curse of God on a prayerlesi Irish. People say, "What is the matte: ith the ministers in our time? 80 man] f them seem dissatisfied with the Bible id they are trying to help Moses and Pau id Christ out of inconsistencies and con adictions by fixing up the Bible." A; ell let the musicians go to work to fix uj aydn's "Creation" or Handel's "Israel ii gypt," or let the painters go to fixing uf aphaol's "Transfiguration," or architect 5 to fixing up Christopher Wren's 8t aul's. But I will tell you what is the mat sr. There are too many unconverte* inisters. Their hearts have never beei langed by the grace of God. A mere in sllectual ministry is tne deadest fail re this Side of perdition. Alai ir the gospel of icicles! From apol jetics, and hermeneutics and dogmatics sod Lord deliver us!

The scales of the diamond beetle appear to consist s of two layers separated by an exceedi ingly thin interspace, and the light * falling upon them experience the efl feet of interference, so that the result ing colors correspond with those of * thin films or of the soap bubble. j Development of Fruit Flavors. 1 Some very interesting and sugges9 tive results have been obtained by Jacqnemin, who finds that, by the ad. dition of the leaves of fruit trees which f in themselves have no marked flavor, 9 to saccharine solutions undergoing al* coholjc fermentation, a very marked a bouquet of the fruit is developed. 1 Thus, by immersing pesr or apple ' tree leaves in a ten or fifteen per cent. . solution of sugar, and adding a pure i yeast, which by itself gave rise to no j marked flavor, after fermentation a liquid was obtained that had a strong a odor of pear or apple respectively and an excellent flavor, and on distillation ive an alcoholic distillate in which I this aroma was still more marked, r Vine leaves act in a similar manner, and the author suggests that it may be *-!- ! - - iU. 1 ? possioie wj improve mo uuuijuci ui a . poor vintage by the addition of some 1 leaves during fermentation. It is 3 noteworthy that the results are fai 9 more marked when the leaves employed \ are from trees in which the fruit i? - approaching maturity. The author * infers that the flavors of fruits are due B to a body elaborated in the leaves, { possibly of a glucosidal nature, which 1 is not transferred to the fruits until the latter approach maturity, and ie j then acted upon by the special forr ments contained in the fruit juicea r and develops distinctive flavors. The j matter would appear to be of consid erable practical importance. s J Deadly Enemies of the Oyster. The drumfish is one of the oyster's , most deadly enemies. Drumfish are . large and heavy-jawed. They travel * in schools in a straight course, and t once they strike an oyster bed leave . only a mass of crumbled shells in theii - wake. They pick up a mouthful, 3 grind the shells, eat the oysters, spit ?ut the shells and go on. Their pres ? ence is made known to the oystermen - by the color of the water, which assumes a reddish hue as they pass through it. There is no way of anticipating or frustrating their attacks. Once they strike an oyster bed they eat a path through it. As to the amount of damage they do, it depends entirely on how they come upon the bed. Sometimes their course leads them straight over it. If so there is nothing left but crumbled shells. Sometimes they only touch the corner, and at other times a small school will go through the centre. They never vary from a straight course, and a school covering hundreds of square feet have been known to take but a few bushels off the corner of a bed of thousauds of bushels. Oystermen " I /\ATa>? ovnlonofi/^n fnr* fill a noAnlioi1 VUCi UU OA|/t(?Ul?V?VM *Vi stupidity, but are glad that they do not get into the habit of looking about them when they strike the corner.? Washington Star. Cleanliness. We have frequently insisted upon the necessity for absolute cleanliness, in favor of which too much cannot be said. Cleanliness covers a large part of sanitary labor. Cleanliness that is purity of air, cleauliness that is purity of water, cleanliness in and about the house, of the person, of dress, of food and feeding, in work, in habits of individual man and woman, cleanliness of life and conversation, puritv of life. . temperance?and by the latter we r mean moderation?all these are in man's power. The clean man or , woman will, all things being equal, be . the healthy one. Modern knowledge of bacteria has given enormous im" petus to cleanliness in medicine. \ Surgeons now disinfect their instrur ments more carefully than ever, so as not to have them carry infection to theii patients.?New York Ledger.
