and tempest-grappling. But the reason
these cedars stand so well is that they

entirely on quick limbs an.l an unob
structed stairway. It takes all the
grace they can get to keep them from
oommittiug assault and battery on those
Intruders, who come with pale faces
and stories of distress and subscription
papers. The reason that God planted
these cedars in the Bible was to suggest
to us that we ought, in our religious
character, to be deep like the cedar, high
likei the cedaf, broad-branched as the
ced.-lr. A traveler measured the spread
of the boughs of one of these trees and
foutjd it one hundred and eleven feet
froiq branch tip to branch tip, and I
have seen cedars of Christian character
that through their prayers and charities
put ( out one branch to the uttermost
of America, and another branch
to the uttermost parts of Asia, and
thestl wide-branched Christians will
keep on multiplying until all the earth
Is overshadowed with mercy.
But mark you, these cedars of Lcba
non dould not grow if planted in mild
climates and in soft air, and in careful
ly-wuterwl gardens. They must have
the gymnasium of the midnight hurri-1

Thirty years from now the foremost

will be those who are this hour in aw
ful struggle of early life, many of them
without five dollars to their name. So
in spiritual life it takes a course of
bereavements, persecutions, sicknesses
and losses to develop stalwart Christian
character. J got a letter a few days
ago saying: "1 have hardly seen a well

write my own name until I was fifty
years of age, and I am very poor, but 1

speaks of the snows in Lebanon,
and at this season of the year the
snows there must he tremendous. The
deepest snow ever seen in America
would be insignificant compared with
the mildest winter of snows on these
Lebanon mountains. The cedars catch
that skyfull of crystals on their brow
and all their long arms. Piled up in
great hefts are those snows, enough to
crush other trees to the ground, split
ting the branches from the trunk and
leaving them rent and torn never to
rise. But what do the cedars care for
these snows on Lebanon? They
look up to the winter skies and say:
"Snow on! Empty the white heuv

I passed, let other proeessions of tempest

we develop our strength and that is the

how to endure and conquer." So 1 say:
Good cheer to all people who are snowed |
under. Put your faith in God and you
will come out gloriously. Others may |
be stunted growths, or tyeak jumpers
: on the lower levels of spirituality, but j
you are going to be Lebanon cedars. |

A judge in one of our American courts
gives this experience. In a respectable
but poor family, a daughter was getting
a musical education. She needed one
more course of lessons to complete that
education. The father's means were
exhausted, and so great was his anxiety
to help his daughter that he feloniously
took some money from his employer,and
going home to his daughter said:
"There is the money to complete your
musical education." The wife and moth

during his speech to the seceders as '
"miserable gutter sparrows,"
had pushed out of obscurity and given a
better ihance than he gave himself.
After winning in Kilkenny, he said, he
would jo to every quarter of Ireland
1 and ask the support of the people.
Here a gather.ng of his opponents
with ar. address at Uriingford whore he 1
spent the night.
The anti-Parnell faction held a meet
ing yesterday at Tipperary at
1 about?,000 persons were present
egrams were read from Messrs Healy
and Sexton, both of whom apologized
for not attending the meeting on the
ground that their prosenco was required
elsewhere. Mr. D.iv.tt telegraphed:
"Impossible to leave Kilkenny. The
fate of home rule depends upon the
struggle here."
The scenes at Tipperary are regarded
as a prelude to the campaign that may
I reach a degree little short of civil war
before the question at issue is finally
decided by the Irish people. A gang of
forty roughs captured the meeting tem
porarily and carr.ed every thing for Par

people from a radius of twenty miles
around came in and the s tuation was
speedily changed. After a lively series
of scrimmages, the anti-Purnellites got
control of the meeting and the most

expelled. The latter h
