Los Angelos, Cal., Sept. 17?In this
sermon the preacher takes as Ins theme
tbe mountains, now assuming the hues
of autumn, ami linds in them a lesson
St Cod's strength und providence and
the love and care he has for all hts
Children. Thc text ls Amos Iv, 13, "He
tbat formetb the mountains."
Have you ever visited the Sehroon
lake of the Alps? Have you ever slept
under the shadows of the snow capped
Blgl, with Its horizon sweep of .'-ino
mile* In circumference? Then yon
have visited Laku Lucerne, one of the
most r#mantlc and pictures.pie lukes
that ever Inplied the foot of a hill or
nestled to sleep like a smiling babe In
lap of a gigantic mountain. The old
poet sings of the charms of Lake Ge?
neva, another of Switzerland's sceale
wonders, with its battle scarred eastle
standing sentinel over lt, a castle i
whoso wnlls are seamed with defying
the cannonading of the elements, as
well as resisting the attacks of man.
This ls his song:
A thousand feet In depth below
The maasy waters mevt and flow;
So far thc fathom line was sent
From Chlllon's snow white battlement.
But, though others may sing about
the beauties of Luke (leneva or Luke
Windermere or Luke Sarnia of Fin?
land or Lake George of New York or
tbe Lake of the Woods of Minne?
sota, all of them beautiful lakes, I still
believe that Lake Lucerne ls the queen
Of romantic lukes for many of ns.
There we not only saw some of ibo
most beautiful of all scenes, but we
also Stood before ThorwnldBen's great?
est masterpiece, "The Lion of Lu?
cerne." Most of you know the history
of that marvelous piece of statuary.
When the French throne wns tottering
amid tbe upheaval of the awful revo?
lution which has made the names of
Robespierre and Marat ond Barere
Infamous for nil time. Louis XVI. and
Marie Antoinette dare not trust their
lives nnd those of their children to tho
loyalty of their own soldiers. They
sent across tbe northern border and
hired some Swiss soldiers to be their
bodyguard. Eight hundred of these
were quartered lu the Tullerles. Fatal
Aug. 10, 1792, came, and the mob
broke loose nnd started for their royal
prey. They battered down the gates
and doors of the king's residence.
They slew the Swiss soldiers wher*
>dj ever their hated uniforms were seen aa
mercilessly as the Sioux Indians toma
hawked Custer and his little handful ol
followers on the Little Big Horn river
Ihey literally annihilated the whoh
band In order to get at their hate^
rulers. Thorwaldsen, the great Danial
sculptor, to commemorate the death o
these brave soldiers of the Swlsi
guard, chiseled into the solid rock o
Lucerne the colossal form of the dyini
Swiss Hon struck to the heart by i
or spear, yet in his death agony still de
nd fending the lilied shield of Frttnot
What a wonderful statue ls that, whic
thousands of tourists every year trav*
miles and miles to study!
But ns I stood before that murvcloii
piece of stone under the shadow of tli
overtowering Big! I snitl to myself thii
"Yes, many Swiss soldiers have bec

yonder hills.'' When Nebuehadnezzi
took his bride, Amytis, to tho glorioi
capital of Babylon, she could not g
over her longing for the hills of h
childhood. Babylon was built In a fl
country. To satisfy lier lougiug f
the mountain scenes of ber youth h
loving husband erected for his (jue
the famous "hanging gardens." B
whnt earthly king could erect for 1
loved ones such gigantic hills ns thc
which cradle the youth of the Sw
peasantry? We who were born in t
mountainous countries of the Wt
or east can sympathize witli thc
Swiss peasnnts If we have been co
pelled to live on prairie lauds and c
never overcome our longing for 1
mountains. As the hills, tbe tnigt
hills, have spoken of God to Amos,
herdsman, they have also spoken to
living among tbe mountains of
western hemisphere. I thought tot
I would try to find God among
mountains.
The Strength of God.
The gigantic bills in tbe lirst pl

Great ls the omnipotent power of
Jod. No one mnn und no one race of
nen could live long enough to do whut
s necessary to do for the creation of
he hills. We look with amassment
lpmi the grMt cathedral called St.
i'eter's of Borne. This cathedral was
inpposed to have beeu begun by
Michael Angelo In 1534. Every geu- ,
?ration since then has bud a part iu Us j
?onstruction. But, though St. I'eter's
>f Koine was building for !MXJ years,
Hie seven hills upon which Home was
originally built hnve been building
for a longer time than that. Away ,
buck In the past millenniums God be?
gan to collect the materials for the
foundation of the hills. He spoke tbe
word aud manufactured it gaseous sub
Btance poor stuff, some people might j
think out of which to build the
strength of tlie hills, yet that was the
first substance God created out of
which to make the mountains. In all
probability thia earth In the beginning
was nothing but a nebulous gas. After I
awhile God cooled this gas, transform- |
ing lt from gaseous to liquid form. As
a thousand years In his sight are but
ns yesterday or a watch lu the night,
God through long uges kept up the
cooling process. He cooled this liquid
substance until there was a thin crust
over its surface, as a floating film
might form on the surface of the cof?
fee cooling on tho breakfast table. He
kept on cooling the planet until wrin?
kles und creeses begun to appear, like
ridges on an orange skin afur the
Juices have beeu squeezed out of lt.
Then the waters ran down Into tbe val?
leys or tbe ocean beds and the dry j
land appeared. Theu the strength of
the hills reveuled themselves in mighty
mountain ranges, which run up nnd
down tlie coutiuents, giving strength
to the lund as the vertebra does to tLe
human frame.
The work went on for ages upon
ages. The divine workman's tools
were tire and storm nnd hail and pencil
of ice and volcanic eruption. A mighty
workman is God. Mighty nre the ele?
ments and tbe times which he used as
the menus for his creation of the hills.
We must honor tlie divine strength of
the Creator of the hills. That strength
alone wns sufficient to pile up the Mat
| terhoru und Mount Chimborazo and
\ Mount Guultuhern und Mount Nevado
de Soratn and Mount Everest. Om
nlpotmt us well us eternnl ls our Lord.
He alone hath created the hills and
created us. Who is "He tbat forroeth
the mountains aud treadetb upon the
high places of the earth? The Lord,
the God of hosts, ls his name."

But though the God of thc hills fee

neldent about the life of William M.
i'hackeray. After the author of "Vaul
y Fair" had finished his American lec
ure tour he was returning home.
A'hen the ship was within a few hours
if Liverpool there wns a farewell meet
ng of the passengers In the main sa?
loon. A prominent minister arose aud
-.poke about as follows: "Frieuds, we
must now part. I want to tell you how
much I hnve enjoyed this trip. It is
a solemn fact to know that most of
us will never meet aguln until we as?
semble at the Judgment seat of Christ."
With that Mr. Thackeray arose and
said: "It ls solemn to think that we
are all to assemble at the Judgment
seat of Christ, but lt ia even more sol?
emn for me to think that every minute
of every hour of every dny God ls hold?
ing me In the hollow of bis hand and ls
feeding me und clothing me wherever
I may go. So, Instead of thinking about
the Judgment seat at this time, If my
fellow passengers ure willing, I would
like to have our ministerial brother
lead us In prayer and thank God for
the cnre he has taken of us during the
last ton days when we hnve been on
shipboard together. No storm has
wrecked us. No hu rm has come to us.
We shall soon be at home with our
friends." Aye, William If. Thackeray
wns right. It ls our duty to think of
the God of the Judgment, but lt is
also our duty every day to thank the
God of the hills who feeds aud clothes
us nnd cures for us each morning and
each noon aud each night, whether we
ure awake or whether we are asleep.

But I must not stop here, even if I
;vould. The love of God ls found In the
itrength of the hills, but God's limit of
'orgiveness und pardon are found there
-Uso. Though God is ready to receive
as If we come to him now, the figure
ot my text distinctly proves that there
will come a time when he will say:
"Not unto all who call 1,-ord, Lord,
unto me will I open unto them, for
unto many In that day I will say, I
kuow you uot." The future destruc?
tion of the hills symbolizes lt.
There is a limit to God's patience.
Did you ever stop to think that as hills
have a time In which they were created
they shall also have a time In wblch
tiley shall die? indeed, mauy of tbe
bills of the past have died already.
Once, says the legend, a continent
ridged with the highest of mountain
chains stretched Itself between the old
world and tlie new. The Azores aud
the denary islands are claimed to have
lieen the tops of these very mountulns.
The Mayas, the original luhabltants of
Yucatan at the time of the conquest of
Peru by Pizarro, were supposed to
have been related to the ancient Itt*
hnbltunts of this sunken continent,
which was called Atlantis. Among
the Mayas the hlstorlnn finds ulm., .t
the same kind of worship whicb was
practiced among the Inhabitants of the
Nile. Yucatan architecture ls very
similar to the Egyptian architecture.
Kvery student knows how characteris?
tic Egyptian architecture was and la
today. Home of the ancient writers
make mention of this strange Island
continent. Slr Thomas More founded
bis Utopia there. Yet the student of
deep sea soundings finds that the leg
endury continent of Atlantis, with all
its mighty hills, was at lust sunk lu
the mighty deep.
Opportunity Mar Be Loaf.
In Java, a few years ago, the great
Krakatoa volcano, after erupting for a
few days, suddenly exploded. The is
lnnd of .lava was literally spilt In
twain. Sixty thousand corpses floated
upon the surface of the sea. A groat
tidal wave forty feet high arose aud
swept on and lifted a German man of
wnr nnd curried lt twenty miles Inland
and there left lt stranded. Java ls
today over 200 miles from India. There
are many reasons to believe thut thia
island was once connected with the
mainland. The inhabitants of India
and Java have the same customs. They
speak almost the same language. They
worship the same gods.** In their for?
ests they bunt the same kinds of wnd
beasts as age found In India! Yet
all of that connecting belt of,, 200
miles of laud with Ita mountains bas
entirely disappeared. As the God of
the hills ls some day goiug to destroy
his mountains, some day be ls going
to destroy our rejected opportunities
for salvation. Thus, my friends, as we
look off unto the bills, as did the
psalmist, from whence cometh our
strength, do you not And in the future
destruction of these hills the foreshad?
owed rejection of souls that bave re?
fused year after year to come and bow
at the foot of the cross which was once
planted upon the top of a small moun?
tain called Calvary'.'
IIow many people are huggiug to
their hearts the false hope that th"
mountains of God's purdou will re?
main firm for them to climb, even from
the weakness and helplessness of a
deathbed! Do not procrastinate. I
bave read of travelers lost on the des?
ert. Without a drop of water, with
swollen lips und thick tongues, they
staggered on until they dropped. Sud?
denly off In the distance they saw a
beautiful mountain. There the streams
were flowing and the rustling leaves
and the singing brooks were calling
them to come and drink and live. The
dying men were aroused. They rushed
OH toward this beautiful mountain un?
til, In a moment, it disappeared. It
was nothing but a mountain of optical
illusions, u mountain of mists, a moun?
tain of false hopes, u mountain which
was a mirage. So will it be with
those who are forever putting off their
opportunities for salvation. Mny Oed
lead us, one and al!, not to follow the
delusive hope that In some future time
we can seek pardon. He promises to
pardon not tomorrow, but today. Come
into the mountains of Salvation. Come
Into the mountains of his forgiveness,
of his strength, of his love. Come and
stand upon the mountain of Calvary,
with ull its pardon, with all its atone?
ment. There you shall find peace and
joy. This Calvary ls a mountain which
is uot n mirage. It shall never fude
away.

A Tiny Royal Cottage.
The German empress usually spends
her summers at Kudlnen, on the north?
east coast of Prussia. Kudlnen ls
such | small vilfage that its railway
station is simply a waiting room.
Tickets bave to be bought on the train.
The royal residence is a plain two
story cottage, so small that the em?
peror, who prefers to spend bis sum?
mers on his yacht, never remains more
than a few hours. From the purk ad?
joining tiie house one gets fine views'
of the DnnztfQer buy. One of the
kaiser's Potsdam gardeners takes care
of the flower garden, the empress' fa?
vorite flowers being roses, mignonettes
and heliotropes.
Postal turd Irony.
The following postal curd story le
told In thc British Weekly: The author
Of lt says tbat while purchasing post
cards In a city shop "I selet-ted, among
others, some excellent photographs of
Dr. Clifford and Pastor Thomas Spur?
geon. They were marked twopence
each, but the shop assistant who made
out the bill charged only a penny. She
glanced at them ngain as I pointed
out thc original price and then replied
very decidedly, 'No, madam; all the
actors and actresses are reduced to a
penny!"' Is this another proof of the
Intimate association of church aud
Stage? Inquires tbe Loudon Chronicle.
