in that God would 'turtle and arouse and.

when He employe & the Bible the gentle
'dew, and the miming cloud, and the dove
and the daybreak in the presentation of
•truth, we often find the iron chariot, the
îigbtning, the earthquake, tire spray, the
isword and in my text the razor. This
keen bladed instrument has advanced in
usefulness with the ages. In Bible times
and lands the beerd remained uncut save
in the seasons bf mourning and humilia
tion, but tho razor was always a sugges
tive symbol. David said of Doeg, his an
tagonist), "Thy tongue is a sharp razor
working deceitfully"-"that is, it pretends
to olear the face, but is really used for
dçndly incision.
î In this striking text this weapon of the
^ 'Aoilet appears linder the following cir
•uinstances: Judea needed to have some
«tf its prosperities cut off, and God sends
•gainst it three Assyrian kings— tiret Sen
nacherib, Alien Bsarhaddon and afterward
NebuchatmVzzar. These three sharp inva
sions fhut'viil down î be glory of Judea
are compared to so many sweeps of the
•i the face of the land. And
thee'*, devastations were called a hired
ra/nr because God took the kings of As

'do the work W r>aid them in palaces
and spoils f annexations. These kings
were Anrede ^yfecute the divine behests.
; 4ud now'cTS^ ty,which on its first read
ing may have -ned trivial or inapt, is
«barged with momiflt.ui« import, "In the

that is hired, namely, by them beyond
the river, by the king of Assyria."
Well, if God's judgments are
hve had better be careful how
other people. In careful sheath
these domestic weapons arc put away,
where no one by accident may touch them
and where the hands of children may toot
reach them, Such instruments must be
varefully handled or not handled at all.
But how recklessly some people wield the
judgment of Godf If a man meets with
ous'ness misfortune, how many there are
ready to cry out: "That is a judgment of
God upon him because he was unscrupu

When little Tad, the son of President

Further, my text tells
Fomctimes shaves nations: "In the pame

He went across Judea/ and down went its
pride and its power. In 1861 God shaved
the American nation. We had allowed to
grow Sabbath desecration and oppression
and blaspliemy and fraud and impurity
and all sorts of turpitude. The Soutn ha«l
its sins and the North had its sins and
the East its sins and the West its sinH.
We had been warned again and again, and
we did not heed. At length the sword of
wav cut from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf
and from Atlantic seatoard to Pacific sea
board. The pride of the land, not the
cowards, but tho heroes, on both sides
•ent down. And that which we took for
the Lord razor. In
the awonl war
1862 »gain it went across the land: in
1803 again: in 1864 again. Then the sharp
instrument was incased and put away.
One would think that our national sym
bol of the eaglo might sometimes suggest
unother eagle, that which ancient Rome
carried. In the talons of that eagle were
clutched at one time Britain, France,
Spain, Italy, Dalmatia, Khaetia, Noricum,
Pannonia, Moesia, Dacia, Thrace, Mace
donia, Greece, Asia Minor. Syria. Phoeni
cia, Palestine, Egypt and all northern
Africa and all the islands of the Mediter
ranean-~indeed all the world that
worth having; 120,000,000 of people under
the wings 01 that one eagle! Where is
she now? Ask Gibbon, the historian, in
rose po$Hv.. the "Decline cud Fall of
the Roman Empire." AbIc her gigantic
ruins, bemoaning their sadness through
the aces, the screech oavI at windows out
of which worldwide eonquerers looked.
Ask the day of judgment, when her
crowned debauchees, Commodus and Per
tinax and Caligula and Diocletian, shall
answer for their infamy. As
nations let us repent and have our trust
in a pardoning God rather than depend
on former successif-» for immunity. Out
of thirteen of the greatest battles of the
world Napoleon had lost but one before
Waterloo. Pride and destruction often
rode in the same saddle.
But notice once more and more than
all in my text that God is so kind and
loving that when it is necessary for Him
to cut lie has to go to others for the
«harp e«lged weapon. ''In the same day
shall the Lord shave with a razor that is
hired." God is love. God is pity. God
is help. God is shelter. God is rescue.
There are no sharp edges about Him, no
thrusting points, no instruments of lacera
tion. It you want balm for wounds, He
has that. If you want divine salve for
evesight. He has that. But if there is
sharp and tutting work to do which re
quires a razor, that He hires. God has
nothing about Him ihat hurts save when
«lire necessity demands, and thei* lie has
to go clear off to some one else to get the
instrument. This divine clemency will be
;elty to those- who have pondered
the. Calvarean massacre, where God sub
merged Himself in human tears and crim
soned Himself from punctured arter

manner, and for no other reason than
a Negro had killed a white man and,
had escaped, and that some Negro
must be punished for it.

Trouble with the blarnalfl.
One of tho chief subjects of the dis
cussion among the captains and mas
ters of vessels is the difference be
tween the Canadian and American
marine rules which govern navigators
in Canadian -water during foggy
.weather. The signal used, according
to the Canadian rules during fog. is.
one long blast of the whistle, to be
blown at short intervals, or the ringing
of a bell. The American signal is
three short blasts. With this differ
ence in the law captains and musters
find some difficulty during foggy or bad
weather, especially when vessel?, arc
passing one another in the Welland
canal and such places. During the re*
cent foggy weather much difficulty was
experienced in this respect at the en
trance of the Welland canal at Port
Dalhousie. Navigators of both coun
tries recognize the great disadvantage
they are at with this difference in their
danger signals, and do not hesitate to
say that a uniform code of signals
should be adopted by both countries
making it an international lavv.

If a woman's crown of glory
is her hair, Jessie Fraser, of
Fine, N. Y., must be a queenly
woman. She wrote us, last
January, that her hair was
neaj-ly 64 inches long and very
thick.
And she gave Ay.er's Hair
Vigor all the credit for it.
Ayer's Hair Vigor may do
this for you.
We don't claim the 64 inches
every time, though.
