Dr. Talmnge Says tlie Time in Which Wc Live Is Wonderful for Disaster . and Blessings. The Dead Sea Roils Today Where An. lent Cities Stood, v Wasiiitotox, D. C In this discourse I)r, Talmnge recites mine great events and shows that the world in advancing in tho1 right direction; toxl, Joel ii, 30, "I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth." Dr. Cummintt Rrcat and pood man would have told us the exact time of the fulfillment of this prophecy. As I stopped Into his study in London on my arrival from Pnris just sfter the French had sur rendered at Scdna the good doctor said to me: "It is just what I had told you about France. People laughed st me Decnuse I talked about the seven horns and the vials, hut I forcsnw nil this from the book or Daniel and the book of Revelation. " Not taking any such responsibility in the in terpretation of the passage, I simply as sert that there are in it suggestions of many things in our time. Our eyes dilate and our heart quickens in its pulsations as we read of events in the third century, the sixth century, the eighth century, the fourteenth century, but there were more far-reaching events crowded into the nineteenth century than into tiny other, and the lait twenty years eclipse any preceding twenty. We read in the daily newspapers of events announced in one paragraph and without any special emphasis events which a Herodotus, a .Tosephus, a Xennphon, a Gibbon, would have taken whole chapters or whole vol umes to elaborate. Looking out upon our time, we must cry out in the words of tho text. "Wonders in the heavens and in the earth." I propose to show you that the time in which wc live is wonderful for disaster and wonderful for blessing, for there must be lights and shades in this picture as in all others. Need I argue that our time is wonderful for disaster? Our world has had n rough time since by the hand of (od it was bowled out into space. It is an epileptic earth convulsion after convul sion; fronts pounding it with sledge ham mer of icebergs and fires melting it with furnaces seven times heated. It is a won der to me it has lasted so long. Meteors shooting by on this Bide and grazing it and meteors shooting by on the other side and grazing it, none of them slowing up for safety. Whole fleets and navies and argo gosies and flotillas of worlds sweeping all about us. Our earth like a fishing smack off the banks of Newfoundland, while the SI:iestic and the St. Paul and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Orosse rush by. Besides that, our world has by sin been damaged in its internal machinery, and ever and anon the furnaces have burst, and the walking beams of the mountains have broken, and the islands have shipped s sea, and the great hulk of the world has been jarred with accidents that ever and anon threatened immediate demolition. Hut it seems to us as if the last hundred years were especially characterized by dis astervolcanic, oceanic, epidemic. I say volcanic because an earthquake is only a! volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius stop breathing, let the foundations of the earth beware! Sev en thousand earthquakes in two centuries' recorded in the catalogue of the British as sociation! Trajan, the emperor, goes to, ancient Antioch, and amid the splendors of his reception is met by an earthquake tlint nearly destroys the emperor's life. Lisbon, fair and beautiful, at 1 o'clock, on the 1st of November, 1755, in six min-' utes 60,000 have perished, and Voltaire writes of them, "For that region it was the last judgment; nothing wanting but a rrumnet!" Kurope and America feeling the throb 1500 chimneys in Boston partly or fully destroyed! I But the disasters of other times have hid their counterpart in later times. In 1812 Caracas was caught in the grip of an earthquake, in 1882 in Chile 100,000 square' miles of land by volcanic force upheaved to four and seven feet of permanent ele vation, in 1854 Japan felt the geological agony; Naples shaken in 1857, Mexico in 18S8; Mendoza. the capital of the Argentine Itcpublic, in 1861; Manila terrorized in 1803: the Hawaiian Islands bv such force uplifted and let down in 1871; Nevada shaken in 1871, Antioch in 1872; Califor nia in 1872, San Salvador in 1873, while 1883 what subterranean excitement! Is chia. an island of the Mediterranean, a beautiful Italian watering place, vineyard clad, surrounded by all natural charm and historical reminiscence; yonder Capri, tho summer resort of the Kotnan emperors; yonder Nanles. the paradise of art this beautiful island suddenly toppled into the trough of the earth, 8000 merrymakers perishing, and some of them so far down beneath the reach of human obsequies that it may be said of many a one of them, as it was said of Moses, "The Lord buried him." Italy, all Europe weeping, all Chris tendom weeping where there were hearts to vmpatlii.e and Christians to pray. Hut while tho rations were measuring that magnitude of disaster, measuring it not with golden rod like that with wHiich the angel measured heaven, but with the black rule of death, Java, of the Indian archi pelago, the most fertile island of all the earth, is caught in the grip of the earth- 3uake, and mountain after mountain goes own, and city after city until that island, which produces the best beverage of all the world, produced the ghastliest catas trophe. One hundred thousand people dying, dead! Coming nearer home, on August 31, 188(1, the great earthquake which prostrated one-half of Charleston, S. C. , But look at the disasters cyclonic. At the mouth of the Ganges are three islands, the Hiittiah, the Kundeep and the Dakin Shabitzpore. In the midnight of October, 1877, on all those three islands the cry wus, "The waters!" A cyclone arose and rolled the sea over those three islands, and of a population of 340,000, 215,000 were drowned. Only those saved who had climbed to the top of the highest trees! Did you ever see a cyclone? No? Then I pray God you may never see one. I saw a cyclone on the ocean, and it swept us 800 miles back from our course, and for thirty-six hours during the cyclone and after it we expected every moment to go to the bottom. They told us before we re tired at 0 o'clock that the barometer had fallen, but at 11 o'clock at night we were awakened with the shock of the waves. All the lights out! Crash went all the life boats. Waters rushing through tho sky lights down into the cabin and down on the furnaces until they hissed and smoked' in the deluge. Seven hundred people praying, shrieking. Our great ship poised a moment on the top of a mountain of phosphorescent tiro and then plunged down, down, down until it seemed as if she never would again be righted. Ah, you never wunt to see a cyclone at sea! But I was in Minnesota, where there was one of those cyclones on land that swept the city of Hochestcr from its foun dations and took dwelling houses, barns,' men, women, cl ildren, horses, cattle and tossed them into indiscriminate ruin and lifted a rail tram and dashed it down, a! mightier hand than that of engineer on, the airbrake. Cyclone in Kansas, cyclone in Missouri, cycluue in Wisconsin, cyclone in Illinois, cyclone in Iowa! Sutan, prince' of the power of the air, never made such' cyclonic disturbances as he has in our day.! And am 1 not right in saying that one of the characteristics of the time in which! we live is disaster cyclonic? i lint look at the disasters oceanic. Shall I cull the roll of the dead shipping? Ye mounters of the dee), answer when I call your names. The Villa do Havre, the Schiller, the City of Boston, the Melville, the President, the Cimbria, tho Oregon, the Mohegau. But why should I go on calling the roll when none of them an swers, and the roll is as long as the white scroll of the Atlantic surf at Cape Hat teras breakers? If the oceanic cables could report all tho scattered lite and all the bleached bones that they rub against in the ocean, what a mcssago of pathos and tragedy for both beaches! In one storm eighty fishermen perished off the coast of Newfoundland and whole fleets of them off the coast of England. God help the poor fellows at sea uud give high seats in heaven to the Grace Darlings and Ida Lewises and the lifeboat men hovering around Goodwin sunds ami tho ISkerricsT The sea, owning three-fourths of the earth, proposes to capture the other fourth, und u (jonitmrdiui the land all around tint earth. The moving ot the notem ne m ign ton Beach backward 100 ysds from where they once stood, a type of what is going on all around the world and on every coast. The Dead Sea rolls to-day where ancient cities stood. But now I turn the lenf in my subject, and I plant the white lilies and the palm tree amid the nightshades and the myrtle. This age no more characterized by won ders of disaster than by wonders of bless ing blessing of longevity; the average of human life rnpidly increasing. Forty years now worth 400 years once. Now I can travel from Manitoba to New York in less than three days. In other times it would have taken three months. In other words, three davs now are worth three months of other days. The average of human life practically greater now than when Noah lived, with his 930 years, and Methuselah lived his W9 years. Blessings of intelligence: The Salmon P. Chases and the Abraham Lincolns and the Henry Wilsons of the coming time will not be required to learn to rend by pine knot fights or seated on shoemaker's bench, nor will the Fergusons have to study astrono my while watching the cattle. Knowledge rolls its tides along every poor man's door, and his children may go down and bathe in them. If the philosophers of a hundred years ago were called up to recite in a class with our boys and girls, those old philosophers would be sent down to the foot of the class because they failed to answer the questions! Free libraries in all the Important towns and cities of the land. Historical alcoves and poetical shelves and magazine tables for all who desire to walk through them or sit down at them. So I rejoice day by day. Work for all to do, and we may turn the crank of the Christian machinery this way or that, for we are free agents. But there is the track laid so long ago no one remembers it laid by the hand of the Almighty God in sock ets that no terrestrial or satanic pressure can ever affect. And along the track the car of the world's redemption will roll and roll to the Grand Central depot of tho millen nium, I have no anxiety about the track. I am only afraid that for our indolence and unfaithfulness God will discharge us and get some other stoker and some other engineer. The train is going through with US' or without us. There is a house in London where Peter tho Great of Russia lived awhile when he was moving through tho land incognito and in workman's dress, that he might learn ship carpentry, by which he could supply the needs of his people. A stran ger was visiting at that house, "What's in that box?" The owner said: "I don't know. That box was there when I got the house, and it was there when my father f;ot it. We havn't had any curiosity to nok at it. I guess there's nothing in it." "Well," said the stranger, "I'll give you 2 for it." "Well, done." The 2 was paid, and the contents of that box were sold to the Czar of Russia for $50,000. In it the lathing machine of Peter the Great, his private letters and documents of value beyond all monetary consideration. And here are the events that seem very insig nificant and unimportant, but they incase treasures of Divine Providence and eterni ties of meaning which after awhile God will demonstrate before the ages as being of stupendous value. When Titans play quoits they pitch mountains, but who owns these gigantic natural forces we are constantly reading about? Whose hand is on the throttle valve of the volcunoes? Whose foot, sud- aeniy planted on tne tootstool, makes the continents quiver? God! I must be at peace with Him. Through the Lord Jesus Christ this God is mine and He is yours. I put the earth quake that shook Palestine at the cruci fixion against all the down rockings of the centuries. This God on our side, we may challenge all the centuries of time and ail the cycles of eternity. Those of you who are in midlife may well thank God that you have seen so mony wondrous things, but there are people alive to-day who may live to see the shim mering veil between the material and tho spiritual world lifted. Magnetism, a word with which we cover up our ignorance, will yet be an explored realm. Electricity, the fiery courser of tho sky, that Benjamin Franklin lassoed and Morse and Bell and Edison have brought under complete control, has greater wonders to reveal. Whether here or departed this life, we will see these things. It does not make much difference where we stand, but the higher the standpoint the larger the pros pect. We will see them from heaven if we do not see them from earth. Years ago I was at Fire Island, Long Island, and I went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours before they come into port. There is an opening in the wall, and the operator puts his telescope through that opening and looks out and sees ves sels far out at sea. While I was talkinu j with him he went up and looked out. lie saiu, wo are expecting the Arizona to night." I said: "Is it possible you know all those vessels? Do you know them as you know a man's face?" He said: "Yes. I never make a mistake. Before I see the hulls I often know them by the masts. I know them all I have watched them so long." Oh, what a grand thing it is to have ships, telegraphed and heralded long before they come to port, that friends may come down to the wharf and welcome their long absent ones! So to-day we take our stand in the watch tower, and through the glass of inspiration we look off and see a whole Meet of ships coming in. That is the ship of peace, flag with one star of Bethlehem floating above the topgallants. That is the ship of the church, mark of salt water high upon the smokestack, showing she has had rough weather, but the Captain of Salvation commands her, and all is well with her. The ship of heaven, mightiest craft ever launched, millions of passengers waiting for millions more, prophets and apostles and martyrs in the cabin, con querors at the foot of the mast, while from the rigging hands are waving this way as if .they knew us, and we wave back again, for they are ours. They went out irom our own households. Ours! Hail, hail! Put off the black and put on the white. Stop tolling the funeral bell and ring the wedding anthem. Shut up the hearse and take the chariot. Now the ship comes around the great headland. Soon she will strike the wharf and we will go aboard her. Tears for shjps going out. Laughter for ships com ing in. Now she touches tho wharf. Throw out the planks. Block not up that Gangway with embracing long lost friends, or you will have eternity of reunion. Stand back and give way until other mill tons come aboard her. Farewell to sin! 'urewell to .struggle! Farewell to sick ness! Farewell to death! "Blessed are all who enter in through the gates into the city." Copyright, 1001, L. Klopscb.l Clcthos of Ilntttesnitke Sktn. One of the most remarkable and most valuable curiosities in the pos sebslan of an American gentleman named Peter G ruber, of Rochester, N. Y., is a complete suit of clothes m:do from the skins of rattlesnakes sewed together. No fewer than 125 rattle snakes were requisitioned to supply the necessary skins for this purpose. Four different specimens of rattlora are comprised In the suit black, brown, yellow and gray and the Ju dicious arrangement of these varie gated skins presents a peculiar and pretty effect. The buttons are rattle snakes' heads stuffed, and . supplied with brilliant bead eyes. Even Mr. Grubor'a hat and stick are covered with skins, rendering the attire the most extraordinary in the world. Its owner would not part with it for any sum of money, for It Is the only one of its kind In existence.

THE SABBATH SCHOOL International Lesson Comments For December 15. Subject: The Passover, Ex. xl 1-17 Golden Text, I Cor. v. 7 Memory Verses Comm. atary on the Day's Lesson. 1. "The Lord spnke." The work of re demption, the appointment of the feast, the change in the calendar, were nil divine. The source of all was God, not Moses. 2. "This month." Abib, or Nisan; cor responding as nearly as tiossiblc to the lost hnlf of March and the first half of April. The Jewish months began with the new moon, "flcginninpr of months." The first not only in ordpr, but in estima tion. It had formerlv been the seventh according to the reckoning of the rivil year which heenn in September and which continued unchanged, but from this time Abib was to stand first in the national re ligious vear. 3. "Speak." etc. Through the elders. V. 21. "A lamb for an house." A kid might be taken. V. 5. The service was to be n domestic one, for the deliverance was to be from an evil threatened to every house in Eavpt. 4. "If the homchoM be too little." That is. if there be not enough persons in one family to eat a who'e lamb, then two families must join together. The rabbins tell us that there should bo at least ten persons to ono tinscha! lamb, and not more than twenty. "According to the number." There may be a want of Persons t- feed upon the Inmb, tho'igh there can be no lack cf food for them to feed uion. Kv-ery man "according tn his eating" may feast to the full upon Christ. (5. "Without blemish." That is. entire, whole, sound, having neither defect nnr deformity. This was a tvpe of Christ. See Heb. 7: 2: 1 Vet. 1: 10. The Saviour tho Lamb of God wm (1) perfect. (2) in nocent and (3) slain as a sacrifice for oth ers. (4) He was offered at the season and ot the very hour of the nnscnl sarrifice. (5) Not a bone was broken. (61 He is able to take away our sins. John 1: 2R. 6. I'Keep it up." Hie Hebrew implies that it was to bo kept with great care. 'Until the fourteenth." It wns to be sep arated from the rest of the flock four days before the time of sacrifice. "In the even ing." Literally, "between the evenings;" that is, from the time the sun begins to decline to that of its full setting, say, be tween 3 and 6 o'clock. The rabbins mark four things that were required in the first passover that were never required after ward: 1. The enting of the lamb in their houses dispersed through Goshen. 2. The taking the lamb on the tenth day. 3. The striking of its blood on tho door' posts and lintels of their houses. 4. Their eating it in haste. 7. '"Take of the blond." The life is in the blood. This tvpifirs the blood of Christ which was shed for the sins of tho world. "Strike it." This was done bv dipping a bunch of hysson into the blood. V. 22. "Two side posts," etc. This wa3 done as a mark of safety, a token of deliv erance, that the destroving angel. whe:t passing thronch the land to slr.y the first born of the Egyptians, might see and par.s over the houses of the Israelites and sparo their families. 8. "Eat the flesh." 1'ndoul.tcdlv this feast had a physical purnose. The Israel ites were to start in the middle of tho night on a long and wearisome journev, and it was important that they should not start fasting. Eating together is a symbol of fellowship and a covenant of unity. "Roast with fire." For the sake of expedition; and this difference was always observed between the cooking of the pas cal lamb and the other offcrines. 2 Chron. 35: 13. "Unleavened bread." This was also for the sake of dispatch. Deut. Ifl: 3. There was also a typical meaning attached to the unleavened bread; leaven was em blematical of evil. Luke 12: 1; 1 Cor. 5: 8. "With bitter herbs." This wos to remind the Hebrews of their great afflictions in Egypt, and also of the trials to which they were subject on account of sin. Our bit ter herbs are the remembrance of sins com mitted and the confession of our wrong doings. The cun of repentance is bitter. 9. "Raw." That is, unfit for use, nod therefore unfit for representing spiritual enjoyment. "Sodden." Boiled. It must not be deprived of any portion of its sa vor. "Head with his legs." etc. See R. V. Not a bone was to be broken. This point ed to Christ. See John 19: 36. 10. "Let nothing of it remain." Tho lamb was to be eaten, all eaten, eaten by all, anil eaten at once. Tho Lord Jesua is to he received into the soul as its food, and thin is to be done witla whole Christ, by each one of His people, and done just now. The Israelites must not onlv slay, they must eat. It is not enough that Crist has dieil for us, we must receivo Him into our hearts and lives. "Until the morninu." To prevent putrefaction, which would soon take place in a hot country. That which is offered to God must not become corrupt. . 11. "Girded." etc. Every preparation must be made for an immediate departure. The long, flowing robes were girded around the loins; shoes, or sandals, not worn in the house or at meals, were fastened to the fcet and the traveler's staff was tnken in hand. These instructions are under stood by the Jews to npplv only to the first passover. "The Lord's passover." Called by this name because the destroy ing angel passed over tho dwellings of the Israelites, while destroving the Egyptians. 12. "Gods of Egypt." 1. God smote objects of Egyptian worship, in destroying the first born of the king and the animals which were worshiped. 2. This si owed the worthlessness of these gods, for they were powerless to save the people. 13. "The blood a token." Or sign. Tho blood was a sign of God's mercy, love, protection and deliverance; it was also a sign of tho obedience and faith of tho Is raelites. 14. "This day a memorial." To keep in remembrance God's mercy in bringing them out of Egypt, and His judgments o i their oppressors. "A feast." It was to be annually observed, and celebrated with solemn religious joy as long as they re mained a distinct people. "An ordinance." It was an institution of God. and was neither to he altered nor set aside by any human authority. 15. "Cut off." There are thirty-six places in which this cutting off is threat ened against tho Jews for neglect of some particular duty. It probably means that the one thus "cut off" was separated "from the rights and privileges of an Is raelite." 16. "An holy convocation." The people were called together by tho sound of trumpets "to attend the rites and ordi nances of divine worship." God is a holy being and must be worshiped in holiness. Psa. 29: 2. 17. "The feast of unleavened bread." This seems to he only another nana for the feast of the Passover. Ex. 23: 15. A Kemarkable Tear. Quite as curious phenomena may be found In the vegetable world as In tho animal world. To such phenomena M, Henry Gourdin, a French naturalist, now draws attention. "There was," be says, "In my garden until recently a pear growing on a tree the branches of which hud been trained to run along an iron netting. This pear, as it devoloped, passed through one of the openings In the network, and then It grew to a great size on each Bide ot It, the result being that whou the time came for the removing of the fruit I bad to cut away the network by which it was held captive. I recently noticed a similar phenomenon In my kitchen garden. A potato of quito a large size had grown around a copper ring, which was burled in the ground. The. metallic belt encircled the potato and did not add anything to its beauty." OldMi Commissioned OflSevr.
