REV. DR. TALMAGE. The Broolkiym vine’ sSunday Nermon. A SAA Subjeot---*From Ocean toe Ocean: or, My Transcontinental Journey." Trxr: “ He shall have dominion [from sea fo sea "Palms Ixxit, 8 What two seas are referred to! Bome, might say that the text meant that Christ was to reign over all the land’ between the Arabian Sea and Caspian Sea, or between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, or between the Black Sea and the North Sea. No: in suecly cass my text would have named them. It meant from any large body of water on the earth clear across to any other large body of water, And so I have a right to read it: Me shall have dominion from the Atlantic Bea to the Pacific Ses My theme is! America for God! First, consider the immensity of this pos, session. If it were only asmall tract of land capable of nothing better than sage brush and with ability only to support prairie dogs, I should not have much enthusiasm in wanting Christ to have it added to his do- mwinion. But its immensity and aiflluence no one can imagine unless, in immigrant wagon or stage coach or in rail train of the Union Pacific or the Northern Pacific or the Can- adian Pacific or the Southern Pacific, he has traversed it. Having been privileged six tinues to cross this continent, and twice this summer, have come to some appreciation of its magnitude, California, which 1 supposed in boy- bood from its size on the map, was a few wards across, a ridge of land on which one must walk cantiously lest he hit his head ainst the Sierra Nevada on one side or slip off into the Pacific waters on the other, Cali. fornia, the thin slice of land as [ supposed it to be in boyhood, I have found it oe larger than all the States of New England and all New York State and all Pennsvivania added together; and if you add them together their uare miles fi far short of California. North and Bouth Dakota, Montana and Washington Territory, to be launched next iter thio statehood, will be giants at their firth. strain a point and soon admit also Idaho and Wyoming and New Mexico. What is the use keeping them out in the cald any longer? 1at us have the whole continent divided into States with Senatorial and Congressional Representatives and we will all be happy together. If some of them have not quite the requisite number of people, fix up the Con- stitution to suit these cases. Even Utah will by ng polygamy soon be ready to enter. onogamy triumphed in parts of Utah and probably triumph at this fall election In Halt Lake City. some of the sisters are smaller than the sider as large as any of them.

Within twenty-five years there will not be between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts & hundred miles of land not reclaimed either by farmers’ plow or miners crowbar. By irrigation, the waters of the rivers and the showers of heaven in what are called the rainy seases will be gathered into sat reservoirs and through aque ducts down where and when the people want them. Utab is an object lesson. Some parts of that territory which were so barren that a raised thers ip a hundred years are now rich or Westchester farms of New York Somerset Coanty farms of New Jersey. E ents have proved that ten acres of ground irrigated from waters gathered in or much as ffty acres from the downpour of rain as seen in our regions. We have our freshets and our droughts, but in those lands which are to be scientifically irrigated there will be neither freshets nor ghts. As you taks a pitcher and get it full of water and then set it ona table and take a drink out of it when all the waters of their rivers in great piteh- ers of reservoirs and drink out of them when. their land when- been offi- idly through these regi tot y ons, doing on thelr way to the sea, will be las corralied and penned up until such the farmers need them. Under the processes the Ohio, the Mississippi and rolling and as white pillars, Standing down in this great chasm of the valley you look up and yonder in Cathedral Rook, vast, gloomy minster built for the silent worship of the mountaing. Yonder is Sen- tinel Rock, #270 feet high, bold, solitary, standing guard among the ages, its top sel dom touched patil a bride one Fourth of July mountad it and planted the national stand- ards and the people down in the valley looked up and saw the head of the mountain turbaned with the Stars and Stripes. Yonder are the “Three Brothers,” four thousand fest high: “Cloud's Rest,” North and South Dome and heights never captured save by the flery bayonets of the thunder storm. No pause for the eye, no stopping place for the mind.’ Mountains hurled on mountains, Mountains in the wake of mountains, Mountains flanked by mountains, Mountains split. Mountains ground. Mountains fallen. Mountains triumphant. As. though Mont Blane and the Adirondacks and Mount Washington were here uttering themselves in one magnificent chorus of rock and precipice and waterfall, Sifting and dashing through the rocks, the water comes down, ¢ Bridal Veil Falls, so thin you can see the face of the mountain behind. Yonder is Yose- mite Falls, dropping 2634 feet, | times greater descent than that of Niagara. | These waters dashed to death on the rocks, ; 80 that the white spirit of the slain waters | ascending in robe of mist seeks the heaven. Yonder is Nevada falls, plunging seven hun | dred feet, the water in arrows, the water in | rockets, the water in pearls, the water in | amethysts, the water in diamonds. That cascade flings down the rocks enough jewels to array all the earth in beauty, and rushes on until it drops into a very hell of waters, | the smoke of their torment ascending forever and ever But the most wonderful part of this Amer- jean continent is the Yellowstone Park.

Here and there are petrified growths, or the dead tress and vegetation of other ages, kept through a process of natural em. | balmment. In some places waters as inno- cent and smiling as a child making a first at tempt to walk from its mother's lap, and not far off as foaming and frenzied and ungov- | ernable as a maniac in murderous struggle with his keepers But after you have wandered along the geyserite enchantment for days and begin to fool that there can be nothing more of in- torent to see, you suddenly Sima upon the peraration of allmajesty and g ety, the irand canyon.

Oh, thesweep of the American continent! Sailing up Puget Bound, its shores so bold that for fifteen hundred miles a ship's prow would touch the shore befors its keel touched the bottom, I said: *“This is the Mediterra- nean of America.” Visiting Portland and Tacoma and Seattle and Victoria and Fort Townsend and Vancouvers and other cities of that northwest region I thought to myself : These are the Bos- tons, New Yorks, Charlestons and Savannahs of the Pacific coast, But after all this sum. mer's journeying and my other §ounays westward in other summers, I found that I had seen only a part of the American Con- | tinent, for Alaska is as far west of Ban | Francisco as the Coast of Maine is east of it, | 80 that the central city of the American Con- tinent is San Franeisoo, | I'have said these things about the n Ai | tude of the continent and given you a few specimens of some of its wonders to let you know the comprehensivensss of the text when i it says that Christ is going to heve dominion from sea to sen: that is, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Beside that the salvation of this continent means Mhe salvation of Asia, for we are only thirty-six miles from Asia at the northwest, Only Behring Straits separate us from Asis, and these will be spanned by a great bridge before another century closes, and probably long before { that, The thirty-six miles of water between | | Jitee two continents are not all deep sea, | ut have three islands and there wre also | shoals which will allow plers for bridges, and | for the most of the way the water is only | about twenty fathoms deep The Americo-Asiatic bridge which will | yet span those straits will make America, Asia, Europe and Africa ons continent.

For that reason 1 | protest against something I heard and saw this summer and other summers in Montana | and Oregon and Wyoming and Idaho and | Colorado and California ‘hey have given | devilistic names to many places in the West and Northwest As soon as you get in Yellowstone Park or California, you have pointed out to you places cursed with such names as “The Dev Slide.” “The Devil's Kitchen,” "The Devil's | Thumb. ® “The Devil's Pulpit,” “The Devil's Mush Pot” “The Devil's Tea Kettle.” “The | Povil's Saw Mill” "The Devil's Machine Shop.” “The Devil's Gate" and so om. Now it is very much neaded, that geologioal sur | veyor or congressional committee or group of distinguished tourists go through Mon. tana and Wyoming and California and Col. orado and give other names to these places All theses regions belong to the Lord and toa | Christian ation, and away with sach Plo tonic nomenclature i But how {s this continent to be gospslise 1? ; The pulpit and a Christian printing press har | nessed together will be the mightiest team for the first plow Not by the power of eid, | formalistic theology, not by ecolesisstionl techrrcalitios Iam sick of then and the world is sick of them But it will be done by the warm hearted, sympathetic presentation of the fact that Christ is ready to pardon all | our sins and heal all our wounds and save us i both for this world and the next Let your | religion of glaciers crack off and fall into the Gulf Stream and get melted Take all your creeds of all denominations and drop out of ! them all buman phraseology and put in only i scriptural phraseology and you will see how | quick the people will jump after them i On the Columbia River a few days ago we saw the salmon jump clear out of the water | in differant places, [| supposes for the purpose of getting the insects.

These institutions are going to take the young men of this nation for God. Thess {nstitutions seem in better favor with God and man than ever before. Business men and capitalists are awaking to the fact that they can do nothing better in the way ol | Hiving beneflosnce or in last will and testa. | ment than to do what Mr. Marquand did for !

Children are keenly sensitive to any in- justice, and should never be tscated with suspicion. We should act towards them in this matter as we feel we ought to act towards others, only with greater tenderness. Teach that neither fame, wealth nor influence is essential, but that it is always necessary to do what is ht. f you can afford them nothing el give your children a education, trained mind ugh life, snd is not convertible. Give them schools, good books, and the eral reading matter, even if they en to do without other things; and to secure a right direction to educated minds, give them, by word and exam- ple, good principles. folly of trusting their little ones to ser- vauts and nurses! Many a woman has wept over the sins of her child, little dreaming that while she pursued her round of idle pleasures, that child was taking its first lesson in sin from the example of an unprineipled nurse. Nothing ean be of so much im- portance as the teaching and train- ing of our children. Undoubtedly, at times, they are very tromblesome in asking questions, and they should cer- tainly be taught not to interrupt con- versation in company; but by giving due attention to these troublesome and often perplexing questions, a child's truest education may be carried on, It is a great thing to be a companion to your children, even te the extent of joining in their play occasionally; they will respect yon none the less, but, on the contrary, will love you the more heartily for it, and this close compan- ionship makes the bond between parent and child which results in the future acceptance of advice and guidance, If | you are worried or discouraged, the re- | creation will benefit you as much asi benefits the little one and your sleep | will be the sweeter for it, "> GIRLS AXD THE PIANO.
