REV. DR. TALMAGE The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's San. day Sermon. Bubject: “A Summer's Journey. ——— Text: If I take the wings tng and dwell in the wlmost sea, even there shall Psalm cxxxix.,, §. What an absurd book the Bible must be to a man who has no poetry in his soul! “Wings of the morning.” What kind of'a bird is it, and ho ¥ long ara its wings aud of what color? Ah, someo! us have sean and felt its wings. ‘they are golden. They are buoyant. They are swift, They are wide spread. The 15th of last Juna [ too: *‘the wings of the morning” ani startai for Eau. rope. Juna 20, on “the wing: of tha morn- ing," Istarted from Liverpoo!., July 12, on “the wings of the morning,” [ onterad Germany, the land of Martin Luther anl many of that ilk, living an { deal, On “the wings of the morning” I entered St. Petersburz, Rusia, On “the wings of the morning” I encered Moscow, On “the wings of the morning” [ entarad the palacas of Russia, greated by ths emp ror and em- press, surroundel by a lovely brooi of princes and vrincasses.

Sep. tember 21st, on “ths wings of the morning,” I entered th- finest haven of all the earth — New York harbor—and looked off toward the most interesting placa [ had sean in thease months—1 South Oxlord street, Brooklvn, You all know why I went Russia thissum. mer. There are many thousands of people who havea right to sav to me, as was sail in the B ble parable, “(.va an account of thy stewardship.” Through Tha Christian Hogald, which I have the honor to edit, wae had for months, in pablisher’s, inreportorial and editorial column, put before the people the ghastly facts concerning twenty million Russians who were starving to death, and subscriptions to the rsiisf fun l had coms by letters that seemed not much written with ink as with tears soma tha jetters practically saying, “We flud it hart to get bread for our oan familie, but we cannot stand this cry of bunger fro. beyond the seas, and so please to the en. closed.” And othes had sent jewels from their hands and necus, ng, “Sell the and turn them into bread.” And another letter said: “‘Incioselisan old gold pieces. It was my mother's, Sha gave it to me ani told me never to part with it excapt for bread, and now [ inciose it." We had gath- ered thirty-five thousand doliars in money, which we turned into three midion pounds of Hour. When I went down to the board of trade at Chicago and left five thousand dollars of the amount raise! with a prominent flour mercnant, taking no recspt an | leaving sil to him to do the best thing, and returned, it was suggested that L had not done things in a business way. How could we know what sort of flour would be sent, There are styies of flour more fit for the trouth of the swine than the mouths of bunzry men and women. Well, as is customary when the flour cams to New York it was tested, anl wa found indeed they ied cheatad us. They gave us better flour than we had bougat, [ boaght in Chicago fine flour, but they sent us super. fine. God bless the merchants of Chicago! Now we know nothing about famine in Amer.ca, The grasshoppers may kill the crops in Kansas, tha freshets may destroy the crops along the Uaioe, the potato worm toay kill the vines of Long Island, the rust may get into thes wheat of Michigan, vet when there has been dreadful scarcity ia some parts of the land there has been plenty in other parts. But in districts of Russia, vast enouzh to drop several nations int: them, drought for six consecutive years has devastated, and tuose districts were pra- viously the most productive of all the empire, It was like waat ws woull hava in America if the haager tiend somshow ot out of nell and in our land, and swept his wing over Minnssoix, and said, “Lat nothing grow nere,” aad over Missouri and said, “Let notuin : grow ner2,” and over New York State ani said “Lt nothing grow here,” and over Oaio and Georgia and Massachusetts and Pennsy.vania and Nee breska and Dakota and the Carolinas and said, "Let nothing grow here,” ani the huo- ger fiend had swept the same witheriog aud blasting wing over the Lest parts of America in the years 1557, 183s, 1880 154) 1801 and 1802, and finally all our families were put on small allowance, and we all bad risen from the table hungry, and after awhile the children had only quarter enough, and afte awhile only one meal a day, and after awhile no gooi foxd at all tut a mixturs of wheat an i clatf anil bark of trees ant then three of the cail ren down with hanger typhus, and then all the family uoable to walk, and then crawling on nands aad knaoe, and then one dead in each room, and nsigo- bors, not quite #0 exaausted, coming in to bury them, and atter ward the houss becom. ing the tomb, with none to carry the dead to wore appropriate sepuic wr~whole families biotte | out, That was what ccrurrel In Rassia in homes more than wers ever couated, in homes that were oancs as comflortadie ani bappy sud bountiful as yoursor mise, in hones as viriuous as yours or mins, in homes where God is worshiped as much as in yours ormine., It was todoa litte somataing toward beating bac: that archangel of wretchedness and borroc that we went, and we have now to report that me cording to the estimates of the Russian {am- ina rolief committee, we savad the livasof 25,000 paople. As at the hunger relief sia. tions th: bread was handed out—for it was made into loaves and distribate l~many people would halt before tiking it and reli giously cross the:us ives and utter a prayer for the donors, Some of them would come staggwring back and sav, ‘Pieass tell us who sent this bread to us.” And whea told it came from America they woull say: “What part of America? Please gvs us the names of thoss who sent 18,” Ah, Gol only knows the names of thos wid sent it, but He car. tainly does know, and many a prayer is going up, I warrant you, day by day, for those who sent flour by the saip Low, Pere haps some of us at our tables rattle off « prayer that may mean nothing, although we call it “saying gracs” but [ warrant when thoss people who received ths bread which saved their lives “said grace” it meant something, I said respectiully to a Russian when | saw him cross himself, “What do vou do that for? * Ub,” he said, “whan I do that | always say, ‘Jol have mercy on mel'” | hold in my han | sonething very suggestive, What does that blac: and uncomely thing look like?

It ia a mixture of pig weed and shaff and the swoeepings of stables, That is something which, if droppal in the strest, your dog ur eat migat soiff af but woald not eat, ‘That was the only food on whick millions of men and women lived, You must look at that huoger bread of Rassia before you can get proper apprecia- tion of what an attractive and beautiful thing a loaf of urea is. It is so com. oon to ts we eannot realizs its moaning Why does not some poet ring a canto on a toaf of bread, or some modern Rphas! punt it, or some historian tell ita h y?

This is how she did | it: First, she secured the cover to the | box with a couple of strong hinges, Then rhe lined it throughout with blue cheesc-cloth. The outside she covered with cretonne in blue with a pattern of apple blossoms running over it. The completed whole she uses for odds and ends of unsightly sewing, such as stock. ings that need mending and half-finished articles that must be kept at hand, but that give a cluttered appearance to the ewig room when left lying about. The cost of manufacturing at home this utility box is less than $2, while it is, when in working order, worth $30 to any orderly housewife.
