EE. WE, — a on a BB 45 Re St “ REV. DR TALMAGR son sm—— The Eminent Brocklyn Divine's Sun day Sermon. “Autumn Thoughts.” Subject: Wm — & Trxr: “The stork in theheaven knoweth her appointed time, and the turtle, and the erane, and the swallow observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the judgment of the Lord." —Jeremiah vill, 7. When God would sot fast a beautiful thought, He plants it in a tree, When He would put it afloat. He fashions it into a fish, When He would have it glide the air, He molds it into a bird, My text speaks of tour birds of beautiful instinct—the stork, of such strong affection that it is allowed familiarly 10 come in Holland and Germany and build fta nest over the doorway; the sweet dispositioned turtledove, mingling in color white and black and brown and ashen and chestnut: the crane, with voice like the clang of a trumpet ; the swallow, swift as n dart shot out of the bow of heaven, falling, mounting, skimming, sailing--four birds started by the prophet twenty-five centuries ago, vet flying on througn the ages, with rousing truth under glossy wing and in the eluteh of stout claw, been in this very season of the year—autumn —and the prophet out of doors, thinking ol the impenitence of the people of his day, hears an great ery overhead, Now, vou know it is no easy thing for ons with ordinary delicacy of eye-sight to look into the deep blue of noonday heaven, but the prophet looks up, and there are flocks of storks and turtledoves and ernnes and swallows drawn out in long lines for flight southward, As is their habit, the cranes ing an angle, a wedge splitting the air with wild velocity, the old erane, with command. ing eall, bidding them onward while the towns, and the cities, and the continents slid under them, The prophet, almost blinded from jooking in the dazzling heavens, stoops down and bes gins to think how much superior the birds are in sagacity about their safely than men are about theirs, and he puts bis hand upon the pen and “The stork in the heaven knowsth his appointed times, and the turtle; and the and the ss observe the time of coming, people know not the jadement o If you were In fleld to-day. in clump of trees at the corner of the fleld would see a convention of birds, the American Congress the last nl adjournn the English when s more A convention moving and pa Jeet of migra morrow, some bat all unanime RO sOon, or ihe 1 from the Lord written sheet of the frost and inthe pletori changing leaves, There is ehaffinch, or or a begins to write, Yen ’3 the 1.02 the the OIsY Bi or as unfortunate m ed my in Yueen [ birds all tal it once, resolutions on the & proposing aat ta the sub. on rea the very Fareweil, went her, hesveniy nents Coy on Brazilian hear your v selves of the stork in the times, ana swallow ob but my pe the Lord” y words of the text, knoweth her app: f the air have I begin by par that they mingle The most serious this an Naturalists tell us to show that the sagacny than ticulariziog birds « men under bird's life is nual that they arrive auflled, and ve the ground the | sky the ¢ f the music, them the notes seattared up an sup poss their sont wing snd help Hag 1000 miies it We Weare ag wise as tian song with our lieve thers is saeh piteh of Chr.stian sion in the morning and Keeping it all the day.

I do not ‘believe that the power of Christian song has ve: been fully tried. I believe that if vou could roll the ‘Old Hundred” doxology through the street it would put an end to any panic, I believe that the discords, and the BOTTORS aod the sine of the world are to be swept out by beaven-bora halleluiabe, Some oneasked filzht £0 singing line of the musi in mingling Chris. y work! 1 be. as taking the everyda a thing dev take ikiv wave composed each “Why,” be said, echesriul “Lf ean’t masie, Joy that the from my pa” I wish all exnit melodiously beiore the With God for our Patuer and Christ for our Saviour, snd heaven for our home and sngels ior future companions, and eteruty for a lifetime, we should strike all the notes of joy. Going through the wilderness of notes leap and from the migratory popuiatioas fiving through this sutumual air learn always keep singing : Children of the Heavenly King, As ye jovrney, sweetly sing. Kinz your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways, Yo are {raveling home to God in the way your fathers trod, They are happy now, and we Boon their happiness shall woe, Tie Church of God never will bs a fri. mmphant church until it becomes a singing en, rng Igo turther and remark that the birds of the air are wiser than we in the fact that in their migration they fly very high, During the summer, when they are in the flalds, they often come within reach of the gun, but when they start for the annual flight south- ward they take their places midnesven and straight as a mark. The longest rifle that was ever brought to shoulder ean. pot reach them. Would to God that we were as wise as the stork and erane in oar flight heavenward! We fly so low that we and the devil. We are brought down Ly temptations that ought not to come within a mile of reaching ws, Ob, for some of the saith of George Mullerof England nnd Alfred Cookman, once of the chureh militant, now of the church triumphant! So poor is the type of piety in the church of God now that men actually oarienture the idea that theres is any such thing as a higher life, Moles never did believe in eagles, But my breth ren, because we have not reached these heights ourselves, shall we deride the fact that there any such heights? A man was Dor, abot the JoniR of Hoe. miteod 1m ® oO railroad from London to Bristol, The engineer sald: “It is not very great, We shall have alter Se 1 a awhile a steamer running from England to New York.” They laughed him to scorn, Lut we have gone 80 far now that we have ceased to laugh at anything as impossible for human achievement. Then I ask, is any- thing impossible for the Lord? Ido not bea lieve that God exhausted all His grace in Paul and Latimer and Edward Payson. believe there are higher polats of Christian artainment to be reached in the juture ages of the Christian world. You tell me that Paul went up to the tip- top of the Alps of Christian attainment, Then I tell you that the stork and crane have found above ths Alps plenty of room for tree fiying,. Wo go out and we conquer our temptations by the grace of God and le down, On the morrow those temptations rally themselves und attack us, and by the groan of God we defeat them again, but staying all the time in the old encampment wa have the same old battles to fight over, Why not whip out our temptations and then forward march, making one raid through the ensmy’s country, stopping not until we break ranks after the last victory. Do, my brethren, let us have some novelty of combat, at any rate, by changing. by going oun, by making advancement, trading oft our stale prayers about sins we ought to have quit long ago, going on toward ahigher state of Christian character, and routing out sins that we have never thought of yet, The fact is, if the ehurch of God, if we as individuals, made rapid advancement in the Christian life theso stereotyped pray- ers wo have been making for ten or fifteen yvoars would be as inappropriate to us as the shoes, and the hate, and the coats wo wore ten or fliteen years ago. Oh, for a higher flight in the Christian life, the stork and the ersue in their migration teaching us the les. son! Dear Lord, and shall we ever live At this poor dying rate, Qur love so faint, so cold to Thea, And Thine to us so great? Again, I remark that the birds of the air are wiser than woe beesuss they know when to start. If vou should go out now and shout, ‘top, storks an i don't be in a hurey I” they would say: | We 03nnot stop.

Between 2.000 and 3,000 of the striking weavers of Fall River, Mass, made a street demonstration in that city. Some of the roilis made slight gains in the number of weavers at work, The weavers in Fall River, Massachusetts, have decided by a vote of 875 to 76 not to oceept the proposition made by the manufac. turers. The earders, however, voled to go to work, 200 to 194. Representatives of 63 cloak and cloth man. ufacturers in New York met, and resolved not to take any action towards a compromise or sign any agreement, or to confer with the strikers. The demands of the strikers, they claim, are unreasonable, Out of 59,500 looms in Fall River, only 30, 000 are in operation.
