if you base never seen an new change
quarters, you have no idea of the amount
www.ma to loudnloo loads
of baggage. David and his army were
about to start on adonblequick march for
the recovery of their captured families
from the Amaiekitos. So they left by the
brook Bescr their blankets, their knap-
sacks, their baggage and their carriages.
Who shall be detailed to watch this stall?
There are sick soldiers, and wounded sol~
dim, and aged soldiers who'are not able
to go on swift military expeditions, but
who are able to do crime work, and so they
are detailed to watch the baggage. There
is many a soldier who is not strong enough
to march co miles in a day and then
plunge into a ten hours’ fight who is able
with drawn sword lifted against his shoul-
der to pace up and down as a sentinel to
keep off an enemy who might put the torch
to the baggage. There are 200 of those
crippled and aged and wounded soldiers
detailed to watch the baggage. Some of
them. lsupposo, had bandages across tho
brow, and some of them had their arms in
a sling, and some of them walked on
crutches. They were not mwards shlrk-
lng duty. They had fought in many a
llt‘l'CO battle for their comrtry and their
God. They are now part of the time in
hospital and part of the time on garrison
duty. They almost cry because they can-
not go with the other troops to the front.
While these‘sontinols watch the baggage
the Lord watches the sentlnols.
How Battles Have Been Lost. .
There is quite a different scene being
‘ enacted in the distance. The Amalekites,
having ravaged and ransacked and robbed
whoic countries, are celebrating their suc-
cess in a roaring carousal. Some of them
are dancing on the lawn with wonderful
gyration of heel and rm. and some of them
uroexamlning the spoils of victory—the
finger rings and earrings, tho necklaces.
the wristlets. the headbands, diamond
starred, and the coffers with ooronots and
curnolians and pearls and .sopphiroe and
emeralds and all the wealth of plate and
jewels and decanters, and the silver, and
the gold banked upon tho earth in prince-
ly profusion. and tho r-rnhroidcrios, and
the robes, and the tuthrrns, and tho cloaks
of an imperial wardroiw. The banquet
has gone on until tho linnquofers are
maudlin and weak and stupid and indo-
cent and lrmtlrsurnoiy drunk. What a
time it is now for David and his men to
swoop on tlmmi So the English lost the
battle of Ilnnnockbnrn, lxmnuso the night
before they wuro in wassuii and bibulous
celebration while the Scotch wore in pray-
er. Sothc Syrians were overthrown in
their carousal by tho lsrruslircs. So (lhe—
doriaomer and his army were overthrown
in their corousnl by Abraham and his
man. So in our civil war more than once
the battle was lost lli‘illtllsel one of the gen-
erals was drunk. Now is the time for
David and his men to swoop upon those
carousing Amalekitos. h‘ome of the
Amalokiies are hacked to pieces on the
spot. somo of them are just able to go
staggering and hiccuughing oil the fluid,
some of them crawl on camels and speed
off in the distance. David and his men
gather together the wardrobes, the jewels,
and put tin-m upontbo buckof cnrnols and
into wagons. and they gather together the
sheep and comic that hurl boon stolen and
start back toward the garrison. Yonder
they come! Yonder they come! The limp-
inumen of the garrison corno out. and
grout them with wild buzzu. The iiiblo
says David saluted thorn—~tlrut is. he asked
thorn how they all wore. "How is your

he gives him a ram morecl from the Am-

, are discouraged when they hear the story
for Moses, and, of Joshua. and of David,
and of. Luther. and of John Knox, and of
Deborah. and of Florence Nightingale.
‘ They say: “Oh, that was all
- right for them. but I shall never be called
to receive the law on Mount Sinai. I shall
never beeallsd tocommaad the sun and
moons: to stand still, I shall never be called
tosiay a giant, I shall never preach on
Mars bill, I shall never defy the diet of
Worms, I shall never be called to make a
queen tremble for her crimes, I shall never
preside overshoepital." There are women
who say: “If I had as brilliant a sphere as
those people had, I should be as brave and
as grand, but my business is to get chil-
dren of! to school and to hunt up things
when they are lost. and to see that dinner
is ready, and to keep account of the house-
hold expenses, and to hinder the children
from being strangulatod by the whooping
cough, and to go through all the annoy-
ances and vcxations of housekeeping. Oh,
my sphere is so infinitesimal and so insig-
nificant I am clear-discouraged." Woman,
God places you on garrison duty, and your
reward will be just as great as that of
Florence Nightingale, who, moving so
often night by night with a light in her
hand through the hospitals, was called by
the wounded the “lady of the lamp."
Your reward will be just as grout as that
of Mrs. Hertzog, who built and endowed
theological seminary buildings. Your rev
word will be inst as great as that of Ban-
nah More, who by her excellent books won
for her admirers Garrick and Edmund
Burke and Joshua Reynolds. Rewards
are not to be given according to the
. amount of noise you make in the world,
i nor area according to the amount of good
‘you do, but according to whethoryou work
to your full capacity, according to whether
or not you do your full duty in the sphere
where God has placed you.

Suppose you give to two of your chil-
' dren errands and they are to go off to
make purchases, and icons you give 81
and to the other you give $20. Do you re-
ward tho boy that you gave 820 to for pur—
chasing morn with that amount of money
than the other boy purchaser] with 81? Of
course not. If God givu wealth or social
position or eloquence or 20 times the fnculv
ty to a man that ho gives to the ordinary
man, is he going to givotoihc favored man
a reward because he has mom power and
more influence? Oh, no. In other Words,
if you and l were to do our whoioduty and
you have 20 times more talent than I have,
- you will get no mom divlno reward than
Iwill. Is God going to reward you bo~
cause he gave you more? That would not
be fair; that would not be right. These
900 men of the text who fainted by the
brook Brno: did their whole duty; they
watched the baggage, they took care of
the stud, and they got as much of the
spoils of victory as the men who went to
the front. “As his part is that gootb down
to the lmttls, so shall his part be that tar-
. rieth by the stuff.”
i There is high encouragement in this for
all who have great responsibility and little
credit for what they do. You know the
nanros of thugroat commercial houses of

shawls, and the old fashioned father and
mother—dear me, she has not had a now
