, than rubles.”
You have all seen the precious stone com-
monly called the ruby. It is of deep red
color. The Bible makes much of it. It
lowed in the first row of the high priest‘s
bros-opiate. Under‘uuother name it stood
in the wall of heaven. Jeremiah compares
the ruddy check of the Nazarites to the
ruby. Ezekiel points it out in the robes of
, the klngoi Tyre. Four times does Solo-
man uselt as a symbol by which to extol
wisdom or religion. always setting its value
as better than rubles.
The world does not agree as to how the
precious stones were formed. The ancients
thought that ember was made of drops of
perspiration of the goddess Go. The thuu~
demons wits supposed to have dropped
from a stormcloud. The emerald was said
tohavo been made of the firefly. The lapls
innit was thought to have been born of the
. cryofanlndian giant. And modern min-
eralogisfs say that the precious stance were
. made of gases and liquids. ’l‘o methe ruby
seems liken spark from the anvil of the
setting sun.
The home of the genuine ruby is Bur-
mab, and 00 miles from its capital. where
lives and reigns the ruler. called “Lord of
the Rubles.” under a careful govern—
mental guard are these valuable mines of
ruby kept. Rarely has any foreigner visit-
ed them. \Vhep ei ruby of large value was
. discovered. it was brought forth with elab—
ceremony. a procession was formed,
.with all bennered pomp. military guard
and firlncely attendants, the gem was
broug t to the king’s palace.
0f great value is the ruby. much inumso
than diamoud.as lapidnries and jewelers
will tell you. An expert. on this subject
wrlina. ”A ruby of perfect color weighing
the karate is worth at the present day ten
times as much its a diamond of equal
weight.” It wan a disaster when Charles
the Bold lost the ruby he was wearing at
thebattle of Grandson. It was a great of.
, fluorine when Iludolph ll of Austria inher-
ited a ruby from his sister. the queen dow-
nger. It was thought to have had much to
do with the victory of Henry V. as he wore
it into the battle of Agincourt.
It is the pride of the Russian court to
own the largest ruby of all the world. pre-
sented by Gustavus III to the Russian em-
press. Wondrous ruby! It has electric
characteristics. and there are lightnings
compressed in its double six sided prisms.

makes the comparison. "Wisdom is better

EXCELLENCE or nuimox.
But it is impossible to compare two
things together unless there are some points
“similarity as well as of difference. I am
glad there is nothing lacking here. The
ruby is more beautiful in the night and
under the lampllght than by day. It is
wife"!!! for evening adornment. How
thsrubfes glow and burn and flash as the
lightellft the darkness! Catherine of Ar-
ngou bad on her finger a ruby that fairly
unturned the night.

perorof China had a ruby that msdetbe

Moreover. i am sure that Solomon was
right in saying that religion or wisdom is
better than rubies. from the feet that a
thing is worth what it will fetch.” Religion
will fetch solid bapplneue. and the ruby
will not. in all your aberration did you

more of youriiell than any one else. are you
happier now with worldly attainments and
successes than before you won them? Does

much satisfaction on the engraving that at
the‘expense of ‘5 was hung upon the wall
when you first began to keep house?

if in this jourueyof life we have learned
anything, We have learned that this world
neither with its emoluments nor gains can
satisfy the soul. Wily. here come as many
witnessesasl wish to call to the stand to
testify that before high heaven and the
world. in companionship with Jesus Christ
and a good hope of heaven, they feel a joy
that all the resources of their vocabulary
fail to express. Sometimes it evidences it-
self into ejaculations of hosanua. tome-
tiuies in doxology. sometimes in tears. A

any surprise to you that the joys of pardon
and heaven rolling over the soul should
sometimes be almost too much for the
Christian to endure and live?
An aged aunt said to me: ”DeVVitt. three
times! have fainted dead away under too
great Christian joy. It was in all three
cones of. the holy communion.” An emi-
nent Christian man while in prayer said:
“Stop, Lord; 1 cannot bear any more of this
gladness; it is too much for mortal. With-

1 like the coral. for it seems the solidified

it gathers 17 colors into its bosom. and I
like the jet. for it compresses the shadow-
of many midnights. and i like the chryso

a small heaven of stars. and, .I like the
chrysolits for its waves of color. which
seem on fire. But this morning nothing so
impresses me an the ruby. for it depicts. it
typifies. it suggests “the blood of Jesus
Christ that cleansetb from all sin." "With
out the shedding of blood there is non-
missiou." You. Solomon was right when
in my test. he said. “Wisdom is better than
rubles."
To briligout a contrast that will illustrate
my textI put. before you two last earthly
scenes. Theone islna room with rubies.
but no religion. and the other in a room
with religion. but. no rubies. You enter the
first room. where an affluent and worldly
man is about to quit this life. There is a
ruby on the mantel. possibly among the
races. There is sruby iii the headdress of
the queenly wife. ‘
0n the finger of the dying men there is a
ruby. The presence of these rubiesimplleu
opulence of all kinds The pictures on the
walls are heirlooms or the trophies of Eur
ropaao travel. The curtains are from for-
eign looms The rugs are from Damascus
orCairo. The aofas are staffed with ease
and quietude. The rocking chairs roll back
ward and forward on lullabiss. The pillows
are exquisitely embroidered. All the ap
pointmcnts of the room are a peroratlon
to a successful commercial or pmfessionsl
life. But the man has no religion. never
has had and never professed to have. There
is not a Bible or one religious book in the
room.
The departing man feels that his earthly
career is ended and nothing opene beyond.
Where he will land stepping of! from this
life is a mystery. or whether he will land
at all. for it. may be annihilation. He has
no prayer to offer.and he does not know
how to pray. No hope of meeting again to
mother state of existence. Ho is through
with this life and is sure of no other. The
ruby on the motel and the ruby on the
wasted finger of the departing one any
nothing of the nnsoming blood which they
so mightily typify. So far as giving solace
or illumination to a departing spirit they
are a dead failure. Midnight of utter hope
leesnesa drops on all the scene.

Another room of mortal exit. Religion
and no rubies. She never had money
enough to buy one of these exquisitee.

to appreciate thou gems. but ehe never

she had none. But she had a richer treat
me. and that was the grace of God that bad
comforted her along the way amid be-
reavements and temptations and pcmecu‘
”than and alokneseeu and privatlons and
trials of all sorts. Now she is going out of
life.
The room is bright—not with pictures or
statues. not with upholstery. not with any
of the gem» of mountain or of so I, but there
isastraoge and vivid glow in the room-
not the light of chandelier. or star. or noon-
day sun. but something that outshines all
of them. It must be the presence of imper-
naturals. From her lllumiurd face i think
she must bear sweet voices. Y.. she does

llforton the part of the senate (for path
as possible prior to taking up the lurid bill.
which. when it is reported to the senate. is
expected to exclude the consideration of
most other subjects. The spssehmaklng
during the week is to be devoted to a vari‘
sty of topics. including the Stewart bond
resolution. the Turpin lfawallan resolution
and probably the resolution of Senator llale
Instructing the committee on finance to
grant hearings on the tart! bill. ,
Thespeeches on the Stewart resolution
will he made during the morning hour and
the Hawaiian speeches later in the day.
Senators Gray and Daniel have given notice
of speeches on the Hawaiian resolution for
today. and Senator White of California is
sarong others who probably wIIi address
the senate later in the week on this topic.
The bill to compel railroad compaol.

3.3;??? entices at all town sites ea-
1 t uterlor department is the
unfinished business on the calendar. and
when it is disposed of~the bill to provide
for additional accommodations for the gov-
ernment printing office will be taken up
and acted on as soon as practicable. There
will also be a general effort on the part of
senators to have private bills or bills of
minor general importance taken from the
calendar and passed.
lt’ls belisvéd that the committee on the
Judiciary will dlspon of the Peckham new

It isospected that the consideration of
the Bland aeignlornge bill will be com-
pleted in the house on Wednesday. 'l‘ixiny
in District of Columbia day. but by «special
order the time after do'clock has been set
aside for paying tribute to the memory of
the late Senator Stanford. and a tight will
probably be made for the three hours pre-
vious by Sir. Bland.
When the Bland bill reaches a vote. the
general ex tatiou Is that It will pass
after havlnycbeea modified in certain par-
ticulars to uiesttlie objections of Secretary
Carilsle to give him some latitude and dis‘
cretlon in the issue of treasury flutes against
the selgulorage and in the coinage of the
bullion.
On Thursday the U‘NclLJoy contested

ment six hours will be devoted to debate
thereon. .\lr. O‘Neil will probably be seat-
ad- by almost a strict party vote. The re-
maiuder of the wrek will be devoted to the
fortifications appropriation bill.
When the hr]. nm Will Be Reported.
Wasnixoros. I-‘cb. l1~Mcmbers of the
senate finance committee say that there
has been a great deal of misinformation
sent out about lite time when the tariff
bill will bore-ported to the seuiitc. It is
claimed that no time could pmsibly be
flxed for reporting the bill until the full
committee caule together. Besides, the
billlsaot ready to be reported yet. from
the subcommittee. and the members of
that committee cannot tell when it will be.

to time asserted that an agreement has
been reached on certain schedules. .-n a

mentaml to this end articles will be taken
from the free list. and increases will be
made In some directions.
