there twen no retreat from DoImmuU aftef the battle of Kulln, and no eracuatlon of Beritn after the alanghter of KtUMTadorf. there would hare been no hnnilUatlon of a Marla Tberaaa. and no Frederick the (Treat, wboee name has bee* the marvel pot only of Pnisula, ‘bat of all Buritpe and the clvlHied world. Kathfnael Greene, the mighty military leader of the Revolutionary war. second only In power to George Washington, was aptly called "The Grast Retreater.” He never won a decisive battle la his life. 80 it has been wlUi other military cbleftalaa. There U strategy In eluding a foe whose strength hi superior. Many a general baa kept the field and worn out the patience of an enemy by avoiding a decisive battle and in the rad haa

proved vlctartona.

There may come times In tlie battle of life when a man Is to fight, and times when a man la to run. There also come other times when a man la to be like a Moses “encamped before Pi-hahlra£i. between MigdoJ and the 'sea, over against Raal-seph<m.' a On the one aide of him was the Red sen, on the other aMe of him were the pursuing hosts of the Philistines. He could net run. There was no place to run to. He coadd not fight Pharaoh. He knew be would have been annihilated in the conflict. He could do nothing bth wait. He bad to “stand still and see the sal ratio*'of the Lord." Moses wa* like Sir Henry Lawrence, entrapped In the residency of Lucknow during the sepoy rebellion of 1857. For three long months the little English garrison, surrounded by a hundred thousand murderous de me**, bad to do nothing bnt wait. They Just kept on waiting for the rescuers, who fought tlielr way up from Calcutta under tin- leadership of that hero of heroes. Sir Henry Havelock. Moses wss like General <Jkarles George Gordon, who foe ten lour months just had to wait and oontlatw to wait in the besieged city of Khartum, and then gave up bW~Hfejanfcr a few days before the EngfiST rescuer* hove In night Moses was like the foreigner*, praying and hoping and hoping and praying In the missionary compounds ■•f Peking, waiting for Hie allied troop* to deliver them .from Qtielr Impending ifate during the Boxer upriolng of Cbl1900.

If Mke Job amid the tragedy of a wrecked home and amid a ruined fortune and In the agonioa of physical as well aa mental pain, you can aay, and still continue to ray, 'Though he slay me, yet will I trust him." God will show to yotl a direct means of escape if you will only stand still JnsI where you are and continue to look for the salvation of the Lord. Yon may not now think it but all things, even amid the greatest discouragements, al' thing* are working together for good to them that love the Lord. After the darkest of nights then* always come* the brightness of a light giving dawn. Amid the blackest of trouble* there will always come a pillar of fire to lend God's children to a promised land.

In the evening Jack la always home studying If he la not craiy. Jack la certainly queer. One day jack cornea la and tells ua he la going to teach winter school In order to go to college. We think then lie M crsxler Mill. Aft*r awhile Jack, by working all his Bummers and all wluteni, gets through collage, and thim comes home and tells us that be 1* going to the law school. We think he Is crssler still. After awhile Jack, by years of self sacrifice and hard work, is graduated. Then be goes to New York city. After awhile my brother Jack pushes his way to the front of the New York bar. What U the result? Do we boys praise Jack for his labors? Do we say. “If we bad worked aa be worked we coaid be where be tor' Perhaps. But that Is not the general ride of (he average rurally. We Immediately begin to complain because Jack does not send ua money and help to support ua. We take from him all we can get. And so. when any man honestly tries to make a succe«a out of life, be Immediately has a lot of Indigent. s«-lfisb. lacy folks

Bnt there Is another class of bearers I find today encamped amour’ the Israel Itish bouts near Pl-hahlrotb. They ar* the men and the women who are not necessarily struggling for a financial existence, but who are uuheppy and diosatUfied with the fields In which God ha* compelled them to labor. They know they could do better work amid other surroundings. Or they are saying to themselves: “I do not know why tt is that all my labors should be misconstrued and unappreciated. If God does not oi>en to me another field of work soon I shall drop this iKwltion

Bome one listening to me says. ‘'Yes, that la so." Then you turn and say: “What shall I do ationt my drunken brother** family? Bball 1 pay any more money to let him keep on drinking?*' “What "hall I do about my daughter?*' says another. “I do not want bey to leave her husband, and yet I certainly do not want to keep on supporting both of them In their foolish extravagauees.*’ “What shall I do about my wayward boy?" says another. “Bhall 1 let him go to the dogs and not support .Jilin any longer?" “What shall I do In reference to that

Influence to « higher position of flsmiv. When Christ wanted to mdert his cabinet and to fill the apostolic positions of the '•fishers of men," be did not go Into the market place, where he could find the loafer* Idling around. He went down to the shore* of Lake Gallic* amI found two ktalwart mpa coating tlsrir nets into the sea. He said to IVter and Andrew, hi* brother, ■“Follow me. and .1 set 11 make job tub era of men." It is warty always a hard struggle for a man In a small position to climb up Into a, higher position.

But roaming in and out among the

lerneUtish boots cncamited at IT-hahl-x«th. I find the ranks of the Mosaic army cursed .and retarded with hanger* ■on. YSiere -were many brave men In that army.

When the tents were to be lifted, they were not there; when the uiMinui pas to be coiiected. they were like tbe fire foolish virgins who waaSed to borrow the oil of tbe five

economy of the home. Shall I leave her?” Want shall you do. my friends? Well, I am not here to tell you In’ detail. hut this I dq assert In general: Do not let the Injustices of the past blind your eye* to tbe pressing duties of tbe present. Because your kltb and kin and business partners have been and are now doing wrong to you, do not you do wrong to them. Be patient Be careful, and if yon must err let It be upon the side of mercy. God doc* not tell yon to wrigh tbe past so much as to conscientiously solve tbe pressing -esponslbilities directly at band. “Stand still" before yon snap the golden cords of affection which bind yon to that wayward sister, that wayward brother, that wayward child, that wayward husband. “Stand still" If yon do not know what to do. titand still and see tbe salvation of tbe Lord.' Be rrij- patient when sickness comes and old age come* and (he wearing faculties of mind and body seem to unfit yon for the active duties of life. Be very patient when yon seen: to be like an old. wornouc bone turned out upon tbe common* to eat a Uttie and sleep a Uttie and live a little longer and then die. Some of ua with great gusto in tbe days of our youth used to sing in Sunday school that old hymn:

Oh. 10 be nothing, nothing. Only to He at his feet. A broken and empty vessel

For the Maater-s use made meet.

But when the advancing years pass on. and by sickness or old age we seem to be laid away upon tbe shelf as useless by a busy world, then most of us do not appreciate tbe petition of that song prayer. We do not want to be “nothing. Doth lug." We want to be "aomethlng. something." and have that •'ometblng a very active "eomotfiing.' Sometimes at tbe funeral of a strong man we aee a suggestive floral tribute to a broken column That means the

to his prime. That means,

moot of os aay. "la it not too bad that be bad to go when be had so much to live for?" Bnt I do not think it takes nearly as much divine grace -to die In your physical and mental prime as ft takes to live on in physical Invalidism or to decrepit old age. In tbe first Instance a Christian man like a warrior la struck down at a blow, in tbe *«c ond Instance a man la Uke an aged veteran to a soldiers' home, like a Job's war charger smelling the liattle from afar and yet not able to answer the bugle call for tbe grand charge.
