MADAGASCAR'S WAR JFRANCE SENDS AN EXPEDITION TO PUNISH THE NATIVES. Queen Ranavalona's Grievance.Th< Island and It9 People.Productions of the Country. American Interests There. FRANCE lias sent a strong miii tary expedition to Maclagascai to bumble the t»ride of th< -r dusky Queen Ranavalona. Sh* is furious at the treatment she claim: to have received at the hends of th< French, and re fused to recogniz< their authority. /^ifh the othei fiNW/X hand, the repre /7j^\ 'f/y£\ sentatives of th( French Govern ' ' ment on the isl and claim thai the Queen is nol Vf .^ on speaking term: with truth and \ A\u s^e *8 kcing kv i nn used as a tool bj influential Eng~/fc lish traders to rV«N m£Tx /Iicrnnt. t.hfl rpla- tions with France. The Queen is but v^lipiPoillil^ ' * thirty-six years oi age, without anj mental or physical Madagascar's queen*, attractions. She is, however, inordinately vain, an<3 her favors are shown in proportion tc the amount of flattery her subjects car beguile her with. She is married tc her Prime Minister, the famous Roinelaieriooune, who has served a* Minister since 1864. This man is, sc say the French, at the bottom of all this trouble. He is described as a consummate diplomatist.a little old man whom neither time nor hard work has bent. His movements are agile and His eye gleams wnn peneiranug intelligence. He makes all possible efforts to avoid strangers and when he has to meet any foreign diplomats he easily baffles them with his shrewdness, so that it is impossible for them to make anything out of him. The Hova army is 'almost beneath contempt, being composed of a lot oi underfed, sickly beings, wretchedly armed and worse drilled. The police system in the island is a most unique feature. At 10 o'clock every evening a cannon is fired, after which signal no natives are allowed in the streets. Foreigners on their travels and accompanied by servants are, however, exempt from this order. As soon as the nonnlfl ar« driven from the streets the r'T- police pair off in coteries of three or more and begin their real work, which is stealing. They do not hesitate to break in any building and carry off what plunder they happen to find. This is taken to the station and divided, the police captain always getting his share of the spoils whether accompanying any expedition or not. - This is a statement which has been verified more than once by recent visitors to Madagascar. \ g.g ~ .s.?S: j; ' ^J||g5 '.fr GATE OF A FORTIFIED 1 The police claim that this is th< only "way by which thej can exist, a; their pay, whenever they get any, if totally insufficient to keep them alive. A 6hort time ago an armed servant ol the French Minister was mobbed by i crowd in Tananarive in broad day light, and the authorities have sinc< refused to punish the culprits or tc give any other satisfaction. The historical right of France to i protectorate over Madagascar i; claimed by two centuries and a hal of successive treaties. In IfclG, wher the French ceded the Island of Mauri tins to England, they were careful to retain the Island fiT'^ of Reunioa, which Jvy is opposite Mada- gascnr, in order to I & / assert the right of / > the Government of France to interfere in the affairs of that great island, W Y\ \ "Which stands very 1 a*' * .»»« ./»I* in fV>*> snmfi '' /"/ relation to Africa Madagascar's kino that Great Britain does to Europe am Japan does to Asia. The city of Taraatave, which if occupied by the French, is bui-l on i long, narrow peninsula of sanvi, hav ing an eastern direction, with ver deep bays on either side, that on th north forming the harbor in whicl ships of the largest size can find a se cure anchorage. On the peninsul are the houses of the British, French American, German and Italian resi dents, with their consulates.

Close to the bazar stands the chapel of the London Missionary Society and the church of the Bishop of the Church of England. ; At the northeast of these buildings is the Hova fort, now occupied by the Frcnch. The history of Madagascar for the last fifty years has been very largely bound up with the work of the Prot\ estant missionaries of the Congregationalist body in England. It was ; under the reign of a good King named J Radama, at the commencement of ' this century, that Protestant Christi' anity was introduced into the island. But in 1828 Radama! died and was 6uc5 ceededby his widow,Ranavalona. This cruel Queen persecuted the Christians : for nearly a quarter of a century, and > TYP^o^rn L > the persecution did not cease until the death of the Queen in 1862. The i Christians are now estimated to num> ber one-fourth of the entire popula1 tion. The monarchy of Madagascar is elective, and on April 1, 1863, the choice of the Hova Government fell upon a cousin of the cruel Queen, who assumed the name of Ranavalona II. The new reign began with the inaugui ration of a liberal constitution, and Christianity was recognized as the nai tional creed. The idols of the people i were destroyed. The trade and commerce of Madai gascar are open to the whole world, - « » i-i* and in one year tne importations 01 cotton sheetings consisted of 3000 bales of a value of §300,000. These cotton sheetings are for the most part of American manufacture. It is a great mistake to suppose that the Malagasy are a people basking in a bnrning heat, with only a few shreds of muslin upon them for the sake of decency. Wen the cold east wind of the dry season is blowing many of them find even stout American sheetings too thin for comfort. Printed nalieoes sell in all Darts of Madaeas- car, but it is not easy to hit the native taste in patterns. Tlio Malasgasy is reluctant to be guided by the fashions of Europe. The whole foreign trade of Madagascar, both import and export, does not fall far short of $7,000,000 annually, and the wants of the country are daily increasiDg. Among the articles of ex- VILiLIAUE 1M JIAUAUASUAK. ; port are crocodile skins, india-rubber, 5 wax and coffee. 3 Mr. Waller, the late American Con. enl of Tamatave, obtained a monopoly of the india-rubber trade, and conse> quently the United States is much in- terested in the trade carried on bei tween New York and the port of Mad> agascar. Doubtless the circumstance that the American cruiser Castine has i been ordered to proceed to the east s coast of Africa has something to do f with the interest which is felt in the t trade carried on between Madagascar - and this country. * The cultivation of the silkworm is an occupation particularly suitable to J.U* f»n/I r\f "\forlnrrnc.

This branch of trade is capable of very gTeat develoj:>ment, as silk cocoons can be produced to meet almost any demand. The productions of the country are * such as may well excite the cupidity of a foreign conqueror. Silver and copper exist in certain portions of,the island, and specimens of gold sand . have been brought from the central d provinces. The interior districts j abound with iron, and iron ore is so v I abundant in the mountain of Ambo- i himangivo that it is called by the na- tives the "iron mountain." y The valleys of the island arc exceede inglv fertile. They are clothed with [1 a rich and luxuriant verdure and abound with rice, the staple food oi n the natives. The rivers of Madagasi, car arc numerous and many of them i- are of considerable width. The e gloomy and unbroken solitude of n some parts of the sublime mountain y scenery of Madagascar is enlivened by d cataracts of. various size, form and d elevation. Mineral waters have «]? < been fonnd and the natives tell won- I ilerful stories of the cares affeoted at the medicinal springs. Tbc hot ti springs near the small and charming j, village of Ambohizanahary. "the vil- lage of God," have a great reputation. Herds of horned cattle constitute the principal wealth of the nobility, and the grazing grounds in the country are extensive. There is no reason why, under efficijnt management, Madagascar should not compete with New Zealand in the meat markets of Europe. The sheep of the country appear to be ab original, and their flesh is considered to be somewhat inferior to the mutton of Europe.

The j grace of God is not a little property that we j may fence 9ft and have all to ourselves. It j is not a king's park at which we may look < through tire barred gateway, wishing that < vyc lui^ui ftv xu uuu aw iuo ucci wuo etatuary and pluck the flowers and fruits in the royal conservatory. No. It Is the Father's orchard, and everywhere there are bare that, we may let down and gates that we may swing optn. In my boyhood next to the country schoolhouse there was an orchard of apples, owned by a very lame man, who, although there were apples in the place perpetually decaying and by scores and soores of bushels, never would allow any of us to touch the fruit. One day, in the sinfulness of a nature inherited from our first parents, who were ruined by the same temptation, some of us invaded that orchard, but soon retreated, for the man came after us at a speed reckless of making his lameness worse and cried out, "Boys, drop those apples, or I'll sot the dog on you." Well, my Wends, there are Christian men who have the church under severe guard. There is fruit in this orchard for the whole world, but they have a rough and unsympathetic way of aocosting outsiders, as though they had no business here, though the Lord wants them all to come and take the largest and ripest fruit on the premises. Have you an idea, because you were baptized at thirteen months of age, and because you have all your life been under hallowed influences, that therefore you have a right to one whole side of the Lord's table, spreading yourself out unci taking up the entire room? i I tell you no. You will have to haul in your ^ elbows, for I shall place on either side of you i those whom you never expected would sit i there, for, as Christ said to His favored peo- i pie long ago, so He says to you and to ( me, "Other sheep l have which are not of this fold." f MacDonald, the Scotchman, has four or five j dozen head of sheep. Some of them are t browsing on the heather; some of them are t lying down underthe trees; some of them are £ in his yard.they are scattered around in eight f or ten different places. Cameron, hisneighbor, t comes over ana says: "I see you have thirty * sheep. I have just counted them." "No, « says MacDonald, "I have a great many more ] sheep than that. Some are here and some f are elsewhere. They are scattered all around \ about. I havo 4000 or 5000 in my flocks, j Other sheep I have which are not in this ( fold." c So Christ says to us. Hero is a knot of , Christians, and there is a knot of Christians, , but they make up a small part of the flock. ( Here is the Eoisconal fold, the Methodist * fold, the Lutheran fold, the Congregational fold, the Presbyterian fold, the Baptist and the Pedo-Baptist fold, the only difference between these last two being tho mode of sheep washing, and so they are scattered all over, and we come with our statistics and say there ore so many thousands of the Lord's sheep, but Christ responds: "No, no. You have not seen more than one out of 1000 of My flock. They are scattered all over the earth. 'Other sheep I have which are not of this fold.'" Christ in my text was prophesying the conversion of the gentiles with as much confidence as though they were already converted, and Ho is now, in the words of my text, prophesying the coming of a great multitude of outsiders that you never supposed would come in, saying to you and saying to me, "Other sheep I have which are not oI this fold." In the first place, I remark that the Heavenly Shepherd will find many of His Bheep among thenonchurchgoers. There are congregations where they are all Christians, and they seem to be completely finished, and they remind one of the skeleton leaves which by "chemical preparation have had all the greenness and verdure taken off them and are left cold and white and delicate, nothing wanting but a glass case to put over them. The minister of Christ has nothing to do with such Christians but to come on<*e a week and with ostrich feather dust off the accumulation of the last .six days, leaving them bright and crystalline as before. But the other kind of a church is an armory, with perpetual sound of drum and fife, gathering recruits for the Lord of Hosts. We say to every applicant: "Do you want to be on God's side.tho safe side and tho happy side? If so, come in tho s annory and getequipped. Here is a bath in } which to be cleansed. Here are sandals to , put upon your feet. Here is a helmet for your brow. Here is a breastplate for your heart. Here is a sword for your right arm, rind yonder is the battlefield. Quit yourselves like men.". There are some here who say, -'I stopped going to church ten or twenty years ago." My brother, is it not strange that you should be the first man I should talk to to-day? I know all your case. I know it very well. You have not been accustomed to come into religious assemblage, but I have a surprising announcement to make to you.you are going to become one of the Lord's sheep. * "Ah." you say, "it is impossible. You don't know how far I am from anything of that kind." I know all about it. I have wandered up and down the world, and I understand your case. I have a still more startling announcement to make in regard to you.you are not only going to become one of the Lord's sheep, but you will become one to-day. You will stay after this service tobe talked with about your B3ul. People of God, pray for that man. That is the only use for you here. I shall not break oft' so much as a crumb for you. Christians. in this sermon, for I am going to give < it all to the outsiders. "Other sheep I have f which are not of this fold." ; When the Atlantic went to pieces on Mars' t fock. and the people dnmbered upon the 8 beach, why did not that heroic minister of t tfife gospel of whom we bare all read sit down and take care of those men on the beach, t wrapping them in flannels, kindling fire for g eoninn fl»o+ f»nf nlflnfv T bUUUJ. ovvuih luuv IUVJ pvuvj v* -vvw. Ah, he kDew that there were others who would do that. He says: ' Yonder are men and women freezing in the rigging of that wrock. Boys, launch the boat.:' And now I see the or.r blades bend under the strong pull, but before they reached the rigging a woman was frozen and dead. She was washed off. poor thing. But he .says, "There is a man to save." and he cries out: "Hold on five minutes longer, and I will save you. Steady; steady. Give me you hand. Leap into the lifeboat. Thank God, he is saved!' So there .ire those here to-day who are safe on the shore of God's mercy. I will not spend any time with them at all, but I sec there are some who are freezing in the rigging of sin and surrounded by perilous storms. Pull away, my lads! Let us reach them. Alas, o»« is washed off and gone. There is one more to be saved. Let us push out for that one. Clutch the rope. Ob. dyintf man. clutch it as with a death grip.

I know all about your doubts. I have been through them all. I have gone through all the curriculum. I L*.ive doubted whether 1 there is a God. whether Christ is God.

Again I remark that the Heavenly Shep lerd Is going to find a great many shee imong those who have been flung of evi labits. It makes me sad to see Christia jeople give up a prodigal as lost. There ar ;hose who talk as though the grace of Goi ivere a chain of forty or fifty links, and afte ;hey had run out there was nothing to touc] ;he depth of a very bad case. If they wer lunting and got off the traok of the deei ;hey would look longer among the brake md bushes for the lost game than they hav jeen looking for that lost soul. People te] ib mat 11 a man nave aeiinum tremens iwic ie cannot be reclaimed; that after a woma nas sacrificed her integrity she cannot be r< itored. The Bible has distinctly intimate ;hat the Lord Almighty is ready to pardo: 190 times.that is seventy times seven.

There ar :hose who plunged into the very lowest c ill the hells in New York who have for th lenth time been lifted up, and finally, by th jrace of God, they stand in heaven gloi ously rescued by the grace promised to th jhtef of sinners. I want to tell you that Go loves to take hold of a very bad case. Whe: ;he church casta you off, and when the clut room casts you off, and when society cast fou off, and when business associates cast fou off, and when father casts you off, an when mother casts you off.and when everj jody casts you off, your first cry for help wiJ >end the eternal God clear down into th litch of your suffering and shame.

He married me, and he used often 6 to call and speak a few earnest words to me 3 about my soul. "You are now a wife and a a mother," he would say; "do not delay to give _ l» yourself to the Lord, und to pray for grace to ' jj'j 0 fu til your duties. I shall never cease to 9 plead for you."' ' -"m J The thought that n man of God was plead- ] 1 '.ng for her before God, as well as pleading 1 11 with her at the bar of her own conscience, was the point which seems to have made the . mpression. "Why allthis earnestness? Are ">2 P not my own impressions far below what they 1 ought to be. when good men on earth, and J* God and holy angeU in Heaven, are bo deep| ly concerned for me? Shall I be careless . -y&j about my own eternal interests,when Heaven £ and earth are in constant communication re. spectiDg them?"

The influence of that lady's piety, her ae- ' C-vag " tivity. her liberality, has been felt in the ® world for half a century. It is now felt in ,* '3 ® the remotest field? of missionary labor. As ; j the American Messenger is read "in India and Jfi ® China, some of the brethren there will prob- £ ably have a clue to the individuality of '"the C-vf mother in Israel," who cheered and eus® tained them in their purpose of devoting < themselves to that distant fleld, and helped q them >n their preparations for it. This ser. vant of Christ was won to God near the beginning of this century through the interces- ? /(A slons of Dr. LiTloastoa. An interesting, but up to that time, utterly careless youth once called on the writer in ^ j great anxiety and distress for his soul fven to weeping. 1 asked him in the course of the conversation, what h{id awakened him. "I knpw that my mother was praying for me,"' % he answered. d The instance has been often related, in r .' which a profane and scoffing father was J "pricked in his heart" and led to the inquiry V e "What must I do?" by overhearing the pra>- era of his pious child for his conversion. Such is the power of intercession' on the * * ^ g heart of sinners. The very consciousness that others are praying for thetn, often awak- rvy,Kj;£ ' ens them to pray for themselves. It is not without a special reason that Paulwrototo ' c« g tho Ephesians. that "without ceasing he V j made mention of them in hie prayers," and \ /''a ' bowed his knees to the Father of our Lord ':' j*. Jesus Christ," in their behalf-.and to the Col- '.w| ossians. tnat .Lpapnras. a servant 01 unnsr, ,-r.5 g was "always laboring iervently for them in e prayers." > 6 We have only spoken of the indirect power e of intercessory prayer. Of its indirect and fiSH 0 ultimate power, its power with God, the so j whole aspired history of prayer affords abune dant illustration. See it in the intercession /;$& e of Abraham for Ishmael. Gen. 17: 18; of .'* Q Daniel for the exiled church and peopie of g Ood, Dan. 9; of the centurion for his servant j Jiatt.8; and of the widow of Sarepra for her s .daughter, Luke 4. "The effectual, fervent / 1 prav< r of a righteous man availith much." s James, 5:19. 3 intercessory prayer is the highest form of 'r[ . power which can be exerted by any human JlEM B being, probably by any creature of God. And i it is within tlie"reach of hands which are dia- /, f abled from all other work. Sickness and « other causes may disqualify us for what is ' a calied active labor, but so long as we pray, ,' ' 'M 1 we have no reason to cut off from connection .;*Jps 3 with the living world. We can touch In its [;V, i remotests points and in its highest interests. j We can put forth a power which no difflcute ties can resist, and no place can circum- scribe. ''Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One t of Israel, and his Maker. Ask me of things to ., t come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me," Isa. 44: 11. How insignificant the power of i li r the ereatest monarch, or the greatest intel- *;JSvHi t ect on earth, compared with that which this i permission gives to the praying soul!.Amejy ican Messenger. *1 a BEACTIKS C'F THE WAT. * Although the traveler's first and chief de* 9 light is the recollection of his home, which v^&jjl 1 lies as a cordial at his heart and refreshes him everywhere and at all seasons, this does ''ffiSB by no means prevent him from taking that 9 pleasure in the several objects presenting 1 themselves on the road which they are capa0 ble of affording, and were, indeed, intended J to afford.

beguile her with. She is married tcher Prime Minister, the famous Roinelaieriooune,who has served a*

Minister since 1864. This man is, sc

say the French, at the bottom of allthis trouble. He is described as a consummatediplomatist.a little old manwhom neither time nor hard work hasbent. His movements are agile andHis eye gleams wnn peneiranug intelligence.He makes all possible effortsto avoid strangers and when he has tomeet any foreign diplomats he easilybaffles them with his shrewdness, so

that it is impossible for them to makeanything out of him.The Hova army is 'almost beneath

contempt, being composed of a lot oiunderfed, sickly beings, wretchedlyarmed and worse drilled. The policesystem in the island is a most uniquefeature. At 10 o'clock every eveninga cannon is fired, after which signalno natives are allowed in the streets.Foreigners on their travels and accompaniedby servants are, however, exemptfrom this order. As soon as thenonnlfl ar« driven from the streets ther'T-

police pair off in coteries of three or

more and begin their real work, whichis stealing. They do not hesitate tobreak in any building and carry offwhat plunder they happen to find.This is taken to the station and divided,the police captain always gettinghis share of the spoils whether accompanyingany expedition or not. - Thisis a statement which has been verifiedmore than once by recent visitors toMadagascar.

crowd in Tananarive in broad daylight, and the authorities have sinc<refused to punish the culprits or tcgive any other satisfaction.The historical right of France to i

protectorate over Madagascar i;claimed by two centuries and a halof successive treaties. In IfclG, wherthe French ceded the Island of Mauritins to England,they were carefulto retain the Island fiT'^of Reunioa, which Jvyis opposite Mada-gascnr, in order to I & /assert the right of / >

deep bays on either side, that on thnorth forming the harbor in whiclships of the largest size can find a se

; At the northeast of these buildings isthe Hova fort, now occupied by theFrcnch.The history of Madagascar for the

last fifty years has been very largelybound up with the work of the Prot\estant missionaries of the Congregationalistbody in England. It was

; under the reign of a good King namedJ Radama, at the commencement of' this century, that Protestant Christi'anity was introduced into the island.But in 1828 Radama! died and was 6uc5ceededby his widow,Ranavalona. Thiscruel Queen persecuted the Christians

: for nearly a quarter of a century, and

> TYP^o^rnL> the persecution did not cease until

the death of the Queen in 1862. Thei Christians are now estimated to num>ber one-fourth of the entire popula1tion.

The monarchy of Madagascar iselective, and on April 1, 1863, thechoice of the Hova Government fellupon a cousin of the cruel Queen, whoassumed the name of Ranavalona II.The new reign began with the inauguiration of a liberal constitution, andChristianity was recognized as the naitional creed. The idols of the people

i were destroyed.The trade and commerce of Madaigascar are open to the whole world,- « » i-i*

and in one year tne importations 01

cotton sheetings consisted of 3000bales of a value of §300,000. Thesecotton sheetings are for the most partof American manufacture.

It is a great mistake to suppose thatthe Malagasy are a people basking ina bnrning heat, with only a few shredsof muslin upon them for the sake ofdecency. Wen the cold east wind ofthe dry season is blowing many ofthem find even stout American sheetingstoo thin for comfort. Printednalieoes sell in all Darts of Madaeas-car, but it is not easy to hit the nativetaste in patterns. Tlio Malasgasy isreluctant to be guided by the fashionsof Europe.The whole foreign trade of Madagascar,both import and export, does not

fall far short of $7,000,000 annually,and the wants of the country are dailyincreasiDg. Among the articles of ex-

of the india-rubber trade, and conse>quently the United States is much in-terested in the trade carried on beitween New York and the port of Mad>agascar. Doubtless the circumstancethat the American cruiser Castine has

i been ordered to proceed to the easts coast of Africa has something to dof with the interest which is felt in thet trade carried on between Madagascar- and this country. *

* such as may well excite the cupidityof a foreign conqueror. Silver andcopper exist in certain portions of,theisland, and specimens of gold sand

j abound with iron, and iron ore is so

v I abundant in the mountain of Ambo-i himangivo that it is called by the na-tives the "iron mountain."y The valleys of the island arc exceedeinglv fertile. They are clothed with[1 a rich and luxuriant verdure and

abound with rice, the staple food oin the natives. The rivers of Madagasi,car arc numerous and many of themi- are of considerable width. Thee gloomy and unbroken solitude ofn some parts of the sublime mountainy scenery of Madagascar is enlivened byd cataracts of. various size, form andd elevation. Mineral waters have «]? <

the principal wealth of the nobility,and the grazing grounds in the countryare extensive. There is no reason

why, under efficijnt management,Madagascar should not compete withNew Zealand in the meat markets ofEurope. The sheep of the countryappear to be ab original, and their fleshis considered to be somewhat inferiorto the mutton of Europe.

SUNDAY'S SERMON IN THE NEW 1YORK ACADEMY OF MUSIC. 3

s

Subject: <4A Call to Outsiders." jText: "Other sheep I have which arc not '

of this fold.".Johnx., 1G. 1

There is no monopoly in religion. The jgrace of God is not a little property that we jmay fence 9ft and have all to ourselves. It jis not a king's park at which we may look <

through tire barred gateway, wishing that <vyc lui^ui ftv xu uuu aw iuo ucci wuo

etatuary and pluck the flowers and fruits inthe royal conservatory. No. It Is theFather's orchard, and everywhere there arebare that,we may let down and gates that wemay swing optn.In my boyhood next to the country schoolhousethere was an orchard of apples, owned

by a very lame man, who, although therewere apples in the place perpetually decayingand by scores and soores of bushels, neverwould allow any of us to touch the fruit.One day, in the sinfulness of a nature inheritedfrom our first parents, who were ruinedby the same temptation, some of us invadedthat orchard, but soon retreated, for the mancame after us at a speed reckless of makinghis lameness worse and cried out, "Boys,drop those apples, or I'll sot the dog on you."

Well, my Wends, there are Christian menwho have the church under severe guard.There is fruit in this orchard for the wholeworld, but they have a rough and unsympatheticway of aocosting outsiders, asthough they had no business here, thoughthe Lord wants them all to come and takethe largest and ripest fruit on the premises.Have you an idea, becauseyou were baptizedat thirteen months of age, and because youhave all your life been under hallowed influences,that therefore you have a right toone whole side of the Lord's table, spreadingyourself out unci taking up the entire room? i

I tell you no. You will have to haul in your ^elbows, for I shall place on either side of you ithose whom you never expected would sit ithere, for, as Christ said to His favored peo- ipie long ago, so He says to you and to (me, "Other sheep l have which are not ofthis fold." fMacDonald, the Scotchman, has four or five j

dozen head of sheep. Some of them are tbrowsing on the heather; some of them are tlying down underthe trees; some of them are £in his yard.they are scattered around in eight forten differentplaces. Cameron, hisneighbor, tcomes over ana says: "I see you have thirty *

sheep. I have just counted them." "No, «

says MacDonald, "I have a great many more ]sheep than that. Some are here and some fare elsewhere. They are scattered all around \about. I havo 4000 or 5000 in my flocks, jOther sheep I have which are not in this (fold." c

So Christ says to us. Hero is a knot of ,Christians, and there is a knot of Christians, ,butthey make up a small part of the flock. (Here is the Eoisconal fold, the Methodist *

fold, the Lutheran fold, the Congregationalfold, the Presbyterian fold, the Baptist andthe Pedo-Baptist fold, the only difference betweenthese last two being tho mode ofsheepwashing, and so they are scattered all over,and we come with our statistics and say thereore so many thousands of the Lord's sheep,but Christ responds: "No, no. You havenot seen more than one out of 1000 of Myflock. They are scattered all over the earth.'Other sheep I have which are not of thisfold.'"

Christ in my text was prophesying the conversionof the gentiles with as much confidenceas though they were already converted,and Ho is now, in the words of my text,prophesying the coming of a great multitudeof outsiders that you never supposed wouldcome in, saying to you and saying to me,"Other sheep I have which are not oI thisfold."In the first place, I remark that the

Heavenly Shepherd will find many of HisBheep among thenonchurchgoers. There arecongregations where they are all Christians,and they seem to be completely finished, andthey remind one of the skeleton leaves whichby "chemical preparation have had all thegreenness and verdure taken off them andare left cold and white and delicate, nothingwanting but a glass case to put overthem. The minister of Christ has nothingto do with such Christians but tocome on<*e a week and with ostrichfeather dust off the accumulation of thelast .six days, leaving them bright andcrystalline as before. But the other kind ofa church is an armory, with perpetual soundof drum and fife, gathering recruits for theLord of Hosts.

O men. skeptical and struck through with "

the peace which broods overoursouls to-day?I know all about your doubts. I have beenthrough them all. I have gone through allthe curriculum. I L*.ive doubted whether 1there is a God. whether Christ is God. I have tdoubted whether the Bible was true, I have a

says, "Other sheep I have which aro not chis fold."Again I remark that the Heavenly Shep

lerd Is going to find a great many sheeimong those who have been flung of evilabits. It makes me sad to see Christiajeople give up a prodigal as lost. There ar;hose who talk as though the grace of Goiivere a chain of forty or fifty links, and afte;hey had run out there was nothing to touc];he depth of a very bad case. If they werlunting and got off the traok of the deei;hey would look longer among the brakemd bushes for the lost game than they havjeen looking for that lost soul. People te]ib mat 11 a man nave aeiinum tremens iwicie cannot be reclaimed; that after a womanas sacrificed her integrity she cannot be r<itored. The Bible has distinctly intimate;hat the Lord Almighty is ready to pardo:190 times.that is seventy times seven.

There ar:hose who plunged into the very lowest cill the hells in New York who have for thlenth time been lifted up, and finally, by thjrace of God, they stand in heaven gloiously rescued by the grace promised to thjhtef of sinners. I want to tell you that Goloves to take hold of a very bad case. Whe:;he church casta you off, and when the clutroom casts you off, and when society castfou off, and when business associates castfou off, and when father casts you off, anwhen mother casts you off.and when everjjody casts you off, your first cry for help wiJ>end the eternal God clear down into thlitch of your suffering and shame.The Good Templars cannot save you, a]

j RELIGIOUS READING,I, THE TCWEB OF INTERCESSION.* "If I Was over brought into the kingdomr of God," said a venerable Christian lady, "it* was owing to the intercessions of old Dr. Liv->* Ingston. He married me, and he used often6 to call and speak a few earnest words to me3 about my soul. "You are now a wife and aa mother," he would say; "do not delay to give _l» yourself to the Lord, und to pray for grace to

'

jj'j0 fu til your duties. I shall never cease to9 plead for you."' ' -"mJ The thought that n man of God was plead- ]1 '.ng for her before God, as well as pleading 111 with her at the bar of her own conscience,

was the point which seems to have made the.

mpression. "Why allthis earnestness? Are ">2P not my own impressions far below what they1 ought to be. when good men on earth, andJ* God and holy angeU in Heaven, are bo deep|ly concerned for me? Shall I be careless . -y&j

® time Hod eternity.!? The influence of that lady's piety, her ae-' C-vag" tivity. her liberality, has been felt in the

® world for half a century. It is now felt in ,* '3® the remotest field? of missionary labor. As ;

j the American Messenger is read "in India and Jfi® China, some of the brethren there will prob-£ ably have a clue to the individuality of '"the C-vf

mother in Israel," who cheered and eus®tained them in their purpose of devoting< themselves to that distant fleld, and helpedq

them >n their preparations for it. This ser.vant of Christ was won to God near the beginningof this century through the interces- ? /(Aslons of Dr. LiTloastoa.An interesting, but up to that time, utterly

careless youth once called on the writer in ^j great anxiety and distress for his soul fven

to weeping. 1 asked him in the course of theconversation, what h{id awakened him. "Iknpw that my mother was praying for me,"' %he answered.

d The instance has been often related, in r .'which a profane and scoffing father was

J "pricked in his heart" and led to the inquiry V

e "What must I do?" by overhearing the pra>-era of his pious child for his conversion.Such is the power of intercession' on the *

*^g heart of sinners. The very consciousness

that others are praying for thetn, often awak- rvy,Kj;£'

6 We have only spoken of the indirect powere of intercessory prayer. Of its indirect and fiSH0 ultimate power, its power with God, the soj whole aspired history of prayeraffords abunedant illustration. See it in the intercession /;$&e of Abraham for Ishmael. Gen. 17: 18; of .'*Q Daniel for the exiled church and peopie of

gOod, Dan. 9; of the centurion for his servantj Jiatt.8; and of the widow of Sarepra for hers .daughter, Luke 4. "The effectual, fervent /1 prav< r of a righteous man availith much."s James, 5:19.3 intercessory prayer is the highest form of 'r[. power which can be exerted by any human JlEMB being, probably by any creature of God. Andi it is within tlie"reach of hands which are dia- /,f abled from all other work. Sickness and «

other causes may disqualify us for what is '

a calied active labor, but so long as we pray, ,' ' 'M1 we have no reason to cut off from connection .;*Jps3 with the living world. We can touch In its [;V,i remotests points and in its highest interests.j We can put forth a power which no difflcuteties can resist, and no place can circum-
