But I must go farther aii 1 speak of the frost as a jeweler. As the sdow is frozen tain, sd the frost is froz-jn dew. Gol trans¬ forms lt from a liquid Into a crystal. It is the dew glorified. In the thirty-eighth cbap- ter of that inspired drama, the book of Job, God says to the inspired dramatist with ecstatic interrogation. "The hosry frost of heaven, who hath gendered lt?" God there asks Job If he knows the parentage of the frost. He inquires about its pedigree. He suggests that Job study up tho frost's genealogical lin?. A minute before God ha 1 asked about the parentage Of rt raindrop in words that years ago gave mea suggestive teitt for a sermoiL "Halli the rain rt father.''' PU' now the Lord Almighty is catechising Job about Ihe frost. He practically says- '"Dd you know its father? Do you know Its mother''' Id weat ctadlo of the leaves did the wind rock it? 'Thehoary frost df heaven, who hath gendered ltV " He is a stupid Cnristian who thinks sd much of the printed and bound Dible that ho neglects the Old Testament of tho fields, nor reads the wisdo n and kindness and beauty Of God written in blossoms on the brchard, iii sparkles on the lake, in stars on the sky, in frost on the meadows. Tho greatest jeweler of all the earth is the frost. Thero is nothing moro wonderful iii all crystallography. Some morning iii Decem¬ ber a whole continent is found besprent witH dlamtbids, tho resUlt of one night's work by this jeweler. Do you make the depreciatory re nark that the frost is impermanent and will last only two or three hours? What of that'/ We go into Lon ion tower and look at the crown jewels df England, biit we are in a precession that tho gUards keep moving on, and five hiinutes or less are your only opportunity of looking at those crown jewels, but at the orowu jewels bestarre I of the frost in parks and fields you may stand td look deliberately and for hours, and no onetd tell vod td move on. Oh, theso regalias arid diadems bf beauty flung out bf heaven Kings and queens on celebrative days have come riding through the streets throwing handfuls df silver and gdld amOUg the people; but tho qileen rif the Winter morning is the only queen rich enough td throw pearls: and the king of frost tho only king Hell enough td throw opals and sapphires and diamonds. Homor describes a necklace Of amber given td Penelope, but the frost necklaces a continent. The carcanet of precious stones given td Harmonia had pinions of orange jasper and white mbon- stone an 1 In lian agate, but it was ft misfor¬ tune td any one Wbo owned or inherited it, add its history, generation after generation, was a history of disaster, but the regalia of frost is the good fortuue of every morning that owns it. Thd imperial household of Louis XVI Could not afford the diamond necklace which had been ordered for Queen Marie Antoinette, tiUd il Was stoled and taken apart and lost, but tho necklace that the frost pitts on the wintry morning, though made of as many brilliants as tho withered glass blades, is easily afforded by divine opulence and is hover lost, but after its use In the coronation bf the fields m Wken back td heaven. 0 men and Womeu, accustomed to go into ecstasy wheil id foreign travel you como upon the historical gems of Nations, whether the jewel be Called the MoUutaiu ol <i!ory. or the Sea Ol Light, or the Crown of tho Moon, or the Eye of Allah, or the Star of Sarawak, or tho Koh-i-noor, 1 impleai you stu ly the jewels strew.1 all round your wintry home aud rea¬ lize that "by the breath of Gol frost is given." Bilt I go a step farther and speak of tho frost as au evangelist, and a text of Scripture is not of much usa to mn unless I can find the gospel in ir. The Israelites in thc wil¬ derness breakfasted on something that looked like frozen dew, and*the dew evapor¬ ated ahd left a pulverizedmateri.a', white and looking like frost, but it was manna, and of that they ate. So now this morning, mixed with the frozen dew of my text, there is manna on which we can breakfast our souls. You say the frost kills. Yes, it kills soma (lungs, but we have already seen that it gives health and life to others. This gospel is the savor oT lifo nato life or of death unto death. As the frost is mighty, the gospol is mighty. As the frost descends from heaven, tho gospel des?enls from heaven. By thu breath of God frost is given. P.y tho breath of Go 1 the gospel is given. As the frost purifies, so the grace of God purifies. As the frost bestars the earth, so grace bejewels the sou'. As the frost prepares for foil many things that Otherwise would be inedible, so tho frost of t rials npeus and prepares food for the son1. In the tight grip of the frost the hard shells ol walnut and chestnut and hickory open, and the luxuries of tho wool:; come iuto our lap*? or upon d'or tables SO the irost of trial takes many a hard an I prickly shell and crushes it until that which stung tho soul now toads it. There are passage of Scripture thal once were enigmas, puzzles, ri idles au 1 impossi¬ bilities for you to un lenten I, but tha frosts oft rouble after awhile expose t the fit 1 mean¬ ing to your soul. You sail, "I do not seo why David keeps rolling over in his psalm the story of how he was pursued aud perse¬ cuted." He describes hims df as surrounded by bees. II3 say-. "They compassed noe about like bees; yea, they compisssd ma about like bees." You think what an ex¬ aggerating thing for him to exslalm, "Out of the depths of hell have I cried unto Thea, OLord! Aud there is so mush o' thal style of lam¬ entation in his writings you think he over¬ does it, but after awhile the frost comes upou you in thc shape of persecution, aud you arc stuck with this censure aud stuck With that defamation, aud stuck with soaio falsehood and lies lu swarms are buzzing, buzzing about your ears, and at last you uuderstun I what David meant when ho slid, "They compassed me about Uko bees; yea, they compassed me about like bees,' aud you go clown under nervous prostration ana feet t"_at you va as far down as David when ho cried, "Out of tho depths of holl!' What opened all those chapters that hitherto Lad no appropriateness? Frosts! For a long whilo tho Bible seemod lopsided and a disproportionate amount of it given up lo the consolatory. Why page after pago mid chapter after chapter ami book after book in the Bible taken up with allevia¬ tions, with pacifications, with condolence? The book seems like an spothecaiy store with one-half of the shelves occupied with balsams. Why such a superfluity of bal¬ sams? But after awhile the membraneous croup carries off your child, or your health gives way under the grip, or your property is swept off by a bad Investment, or perhaps all threo troubles como nt once.bank¬ ruptcy, sickness an I bereavement. NoW the consolatory parts of the Bible do not seem to bo disproportionate. You want something off almost all thc shaly w of that sacred dispensary. What has uncovers and exposed to you tho usefulness "1 .. much of the Bible that was before hidden? Tho frosts have been fulfilling their mission. Put down all the promises of the Bible on a table for study, and put on one side tho table a man who has never had any trouble, or very little of it, but pile upon tho table beside him all encyclopedias and all diction¬ aries, and all archaeologies au I all com¬ mentaries, and on the other still of the fabio put ;i 'nan who lins had trial upon trial, dis¬ aster upon disaster, aud let him begin tho study otthe promises without lexicon, with- out commentary, without any book to ex¬ plain or help, nnd this latter man will under¬ stand far more of the height an i depth, ant length nnd breadth of those promises than thu learned SXUget opposite, almost sub- merged In sacred literature. The ans has tho advantage over the other because he ha I felt the mission of the frosts. Oh. take the consolation of this theme, yo to whom life is a struggle and a disappointment, sn I I gantlet nibi a parig. Thal ie ri beautiful proverb Among the Hebrews Which "When the tale of bricks is doubled, then Moses comes.'1 Mild doses of medicine will dd for mild sickness, but vidletlt pains heed strong doses, and so I stand over you and count out drops that will alleviate your worst troubles If you will only take the medicine, and here it is. "lu the world ye shalt have tribula¬ tion, but be of good cheer : I have overcome the world." "Weeping may endure for a night, but [0y cometh iii the morning." Thank God for frosts! What helped make Milton tho greatest ol poets? The fr's; ol blindness. What helped make Washington the greatest ot generals? The frosts ol Va'.- lej Forge. What made it appropriate for ono passing John Bunyan's grave to exclaim, "Sleep on. thou prince of dreamers?' Tho frosts of Imprisonment. The greatest college from which we can graduate is the collego of frosts. Especial trial fits for especial work. Jud now watch and you will see that trou >le is preparative and educational.

The most wonderful exhi¬ bition of horsemanship that I ever witnessed was just odtside the city of Jerusalem.an Arabian steed mounted by an Arab. Do you know where the?e Arabiad horses got their fleetness and poetry of motion? Long o « tunes ago Mohammed, with 30.000 cavalry On the rdarch, could find for them not a drop of water for three days; Coming tn the top bf a hill, a river was in sight. With a will dash the 3!). OOO horses started for the Stream) A minute after an armed host was seen ad- vancing. and at Mohammed's command 100 bugles blew for tho horses to fall ?n line, but lilfthe 3d,00d contiiiued the Wild galla;' td the river except five, and they* almost dead With thirst, Wheeled intd line nf battle. Nothing in hitman bravery an 1 self sacrl Mee excels that bravery and self sacrifice of those five Arabian war horses. Those live splendid steeds Mohammed chose for his own Use, aud frdm those five' came that race ol Arabian horses for ages the glory Ol the equestrian world. Ahd let me say that in this great war of truth against error, of holi¬ ness against sin and heaven against hell, the best war horses are descended (rom thoso Who, under pang and solf denial and trouble. answered the gospel trumpet arid wheelo! into line. Chit of great tribulation^ out of great fires, out of great fronts, they came. And lot me say it will not lake long for Go 1 td mako up to you in the next world for oil yoii have suffered in this.

THEY LIFTED $15,900- Bold Robb irv of the South BenrV Indiana Bank. Tho boldest robbery in the annals ot crime In Indinna was committed about noon, the victim beiug the South Bend National Bank, one of the leading banking concerns in the State. The amount taken was 115,930, No clue to tho identity of the robbers have yet come to Hghc and they seem to have made good their escape. From the manner in which th9 details of the theft were carried out, it is certain that it was engineered by a gang of experienced criminals who have for some time been shadowing ibo bank aud its officers and had become thoroughly conver¬ sant with their business habits. Tho Bouth Bend National Bank ls on North Michigan 6treot, the First National being just north of it, au iron fence joining them. Shortly after noon, when Cashier Campbell was absent nt dinner. Assistant Cashier Kelly, who resides in the rear of the building was called to the front door by a man who said he wanted to see him on some business. Just about this time a man approached the bank building on the north end and effected an eutranco to the director's room, prying open tho window sash with a steel chisel. He then forced a heavy oak door and was Immediately in front of the vault. Tho outer vault door wns open ; a two-inch mid¬ dle door bad been closed by Cashier Cam- pell. This yiolded readily, the combination, having, for some reason, failed to work, anj be ore tho robber stood the counter tray, containing betw».en $3,0j0 and $10,000. In the safe a pile of 814,00'J in gold, nud ninny thousands iu greenbacks were arrayed on shelves. The primo idoa seemed to bo to take ns much as possible of tho money in sight with¬ out arousing suspicion before the robber., liH'l hnd pleuly of time to make good their escape. For this reason the counter tray with ila loose thousands were undisturbed, tho robber confining his theft lo tho tafe from which he took $'4,00 J in yellow coin, about all lie could carry, aud fil,50J lu bills. No sliver coin was touched. The vault was then clo>ed and the robber made his escape by means of tho back door before Assistant Cashier Kel.y had again passed through the building, li is probable that but euc man entered tho bank, ho being pro- protected by outside guard, who could ca¬ lly havo been placed where they could watch closely through tho large plato-glr.ss win¬ dow the movement of any ono inside the budding without attracting attention to themselves.

It is optional with the teadet which to admire.his creat strength or ivs wonderful digestive .ibility. Ile perished through over- ronfldence in his strength. In at¬ tempting to tear asunder a forest tree, partially split by woodcutters, ne was Gaught and held fast by the closing of the fissure, and was there devolved by wolves. Folvdamas of Thessalia was a man of extraordinary strength and stature. As Hercules had done, he alone, without arms, killed an enormous lion that was de¬ vastating the valleys of Mount 01} ru- pU9. With one hand Tolydamas could hold back a Chariot drawn by two horses. He could break the trunk of a tree as anyone would break a small stick. The King of Persia, wishing to witness the feats of this marvelous man, called him to his court. He had opposed to him three of the strong¬ est men of his army. Polydamas killed the three by simply giving each a slap on the ear; he was about to slap a few more when the King, _J* a Could tear off an ox's hohns. satisfied, stopped him. Like Milo, he died through over-conQdcnco in his strength. He attempted to sup¬ port a mass of rock that had given wav, bul be was securely buried un¬ der it. It is said that the llonian Emperor Caius Julius Maximus Waa a marvel nf strength, heintf able to squeeze Die hardest stone to powder with his fingers. He was upward of eight feet In height, and his wife's bracelet could serve liith asa ring. Salviusof Home could walk up a ladder carry¬ ing 200 pounds on his shoulders, lion pounds in his hands, and 200 pounds fastened to his feet.

Kive hubdred millions of hairpins! That is what .the women of this land annual'y buy, be«, or borrow, says the Million. Now, a hairpin never wears out. lt sometimes be¬ comes paley and bent with age, but its avoirdupois is all there. What, therefore, becomes of these successive millions? During the last ten years 5,000,000,000 of hairpins have beeu made and sold. At pres¬ ent there are only about 100,000,000 In circulation. Now, where.where are the other 4,900,000,000? They have been sown broadcast from Land's End to California, and have left not a trace bshlnd. Of course some of them are picked up and restored to their sphere of use¬ fulness, but most women are as shy of adopting strange hairpins as th^y are of accepting an uniitentitied toothbrush. The hairpins, therefore, so to make up the flotsam and jetsam thrown out by the tide of humanity and dumped Into the waste plac?s of the suburb?. And, speaking of hairpins becom¬ ing pale with age, why is it that when a package of new ones can be bought for a few pence mo t, women cling to their old ones until every vestige of color has gone, and he who runs may easily count their gleaning heads. And, a_ain, can anyone explain how it is that every woman knows her own hairpins just as she knows her own baby, no matter how num¬ erous and similar its companions? And, furthermore, all women have at least one net hairpin. It ia guarded with religious care from year to year. It is the keystone in the construction of her coiffure. Other generations of hairpins mavcome and go, but that particular one is looked after too zealously to be lost. Generosity, friendship filial devotion.nothing is strong enough to induce a woman to part with her treasure. Hie will laugh and offer you her entire stock, but will reserve her pet. Every board¬ ing school girl can tell bow she has rescued her particular hairpin from thc bureau, nay, from the very locks of some friend who had abstracted it "German Syrup *> Judge J. B.

frost as a jeweler. As the sdow is frozentain, sd the frost is froz-jn dew. Gol trans¬

forms lt from a liquid Into a crystal. It isthe dew glorified. In the thirty-eighth cbap-ter of that inspired drama, the book of Job,God says to the inspired dramatist withecstatic interrogation. "The hosry frost ofheaven, who hath gendered lt?" God thereasks Job If he knows the parentage ofthe frost. He inquires about its pedigree.He suggests that Job study up tho frost'sgenealogical lin?. A minute before God ha 1asked about the parentage Of rt raindrop inwords that years ago gave mea suggestiveteitt for a sermoiL "Halli the rain rt father.'''PU' now the Lord Almighty is catechisingJob about Ihe frost.

He is a stupid Cnristian who thinks sdmuch of the printed and bound Dible thatho neglects the Old Testament of tho fields,nor reads the wisdo n and kindness andbeauty Of God written in blossoms on thebrchard, iii sparkles on the lake, in stars onthe sky, in frost on the meadows. Thogreatest jeweler of all the earth is the frost.Thero is nothing moro wonderful iii allcrystallography. Some morning iii Decem¬ber a whole continent is found besprent witHdlamtbids, tho resUlt of one night's work bythis jeweler.Do you make the depreciatory re nark that

the frost is impermanent and will last onlytwo or three hours? What of that'/ We gointo Lon ion tower and look at the crown

Bilt I go a step farther and speak of thofrost as au evangelist, and a text of Scriptureis not of much usa to mn unless I can findthe gospel in ir. The Israelites in thc wil¬derness breakfasted on something thatlooked like frozen dew, and*the dew evapor¬ated ahd left a pulverizedmateri.a', white andlooking like frost, but it was manna, and ofthat they ate. So now this morning, mixedwith the frozen dew of my text, there ismanna on which we can breakfast our souls.You say the frost kills. Yes, it kills soma

(lungs, but we have already seen that it giveshealth and life to others. This gospel is thesavor oT lifo nato life or of death unto death.As the frost is mighty, the gospol is mighty.

As the frost descends from heaven, tho gospeldes?enls from heaven. By thu breath ofGod frost is given. P.y tho breath of Go 1 thegospel is given. As the frost purifies, so thegrace of God purifies. As the frost bestarsthe earth, so grace bejewels the sou'. As thefrost prepares for foil many things thatOtherwise would be inedible, so tho frost oft rials npeus and prepares food for the son1. Inthe tight grip of the frost the hard shells olwalnut and chestnut and hickory open, andthe luxuries of tho wool:; come iuto our lap*?or upon d'or tables SO the irost of trial takesmany a hard an I prickly shell and crushesit until that which stung tho soul now

in the State. The amount taken was 115,930,No clue to tho identity of the robbers have

yet come to Hghc and they seem to havemade good their escape. From the manner

in which th9 details of the theft were carriedout, it is certain that it was engineered by a
