REV. DR. TALMAGE. The Eminent Washington Divine's Sunday Sermon. He Preaches on the Wonderful Personal Magnetism of the Saviour~The Sor. rows of Jesus, His Miracles and His F Infinite Sympathy for All Mankind. Text: “His name shall be called wonder ful.” —Isaiahix., 6, The prophet lived in a dark tima, For some 3000 years the world had been getting worse. Kingdoms had arisen and perished. As the captain of a vessel In distress sees relief coming across the water, so the prophet, amid the stormy times in which he fved, put the telescope of prophecy to his eye and saw, 750 years ahead, one Jesus ad- vancing to the rescue. I want to show that when Isaiah called Christ the Wonderful he spoke wisely, In most houses there {8 a pleture of Christ. Sometimes it represents Him with face effeminate, sometimes with a face despotic. I have seen West's grand sketeh of the rejection of Christ. I have seen the face of Christ as cut on an emerald, said to be by command of Tiberius Cesar, and yet I am ecnvinced that I shall never know how Jesus looked until, on that sweet Sab- bath morning I shall wash the last from my eyes in the cool river of heaven. I take up this book of divine photographs, and I look at Luke's sketeh, at Mark's sketoh, and John's sketch and at Paul's sketeh, and I say, with Isaiah, “Wonder- full” I think that yon are all interested in the story of Christ. You feel that He is the only one who can help you. You have un- bounded admiration for the commander who helped his passengers ashore while he himself Deis but have yor tion for Him who rescued om self falling back intothe waters from whic He had saved us?

Why eateh fish or His breakfast on the beach in the chili morring, when all the pomegranates are His and all the vineyards His and all the eattie His and all the partridges His? Why walk when weary and His feet stone bruised, when He might have taken the splendors of the sunset for His equipage and moved with horsesand chariots of flee? Why beg a drink from the wayside, when out of the crystal challces of eternity He poured the Euphrates, the Mississippi and the Amazon, and dipping His hands in the fountains of heaven and shaking that hand over the world, from the tips of His fingers dripping the great lakes and the ocean? Why let the Roman regiment put Him to death, when He might have ridden down the sky followed by all the cavalry of heaven, mounted on white horses of eternal vietary? “Xou eannot understand. Who ean? You try to confound me. I am confounded before you speak. Paul said it was un- searchable. He went climbing up from argument to argument and from antithesis to antithesis and from glory to glory and then sank down In exhaustion &s he saw far above him other heights of divinity un- sealed and exclaimed “that in ali things He might have the pre-eminence.” Again, Christ was wonderful in His teachings, The people had heen used to formalities and technicalities, Christ upset all their notions as to how pIiachin ought to be done, There was peculiarity about His preaching-—the @ knew what He meant, His {llustra. were taken from the hen calling her chickens together, from salt, from candles, from fishing tackle, from a hard creditor eollaring a debtor. How few Pulpits of this day would have allowed Him en- trance? He would have been ealled un- dignified and familiar in His style of . bing. And yet the people went to Him. Those old Jewish rabbis might voly * ively. omnipresent. Why sleep nave proached on tha side of Olivet fifty vears and never got an audience. The philosophers sneerad at His ministrations and sald, “This will naver do.” The law- vers earioatured, but the common people heard Him gladly. Buppose you that there were any sleepy people in His audiences? Suppose you that any woman who ever mixed bread was ignorant of what He meant wnen Ie comparad the xmgdom of heaven with leaven or yeast? Suppose you that the sunburnt fishermen, with fish goales upon thelr hands, were listless when He spoke of the kingdom of heaven ns a net? We spend three years in college studying ancient mythology, and three voars in the theologleal seminary learn- ing how to make a sermon, and then we go out to save the world, and {f we can- not do it according to Clande's “SB8ermon- fzing.” or Blair's “Rhetoric.” or Kames’ “Criticism.” we will lot the world go tn perdition, If we save nothing olan, we will save Clanda and Blair, Wo sea a wreck In sight, We must go out and save the crew and pas- songoers, We walt until we get on our fine nap and coat and find ourshining oars, and then we push out methodically and scientifically, while some plain shoresman, in rough fishing smack and with broken oar lock goes out and gets the erew and passengers and brings them ashore in We throw down our dalieate oars “What a ridiculous thing to save You ought to have done and beautifully,” “Ah.* says the shoreaman, “If those sufferers had waited until yon got out your fine boat they would have gone to the bottom.” Tne work of a religious teacher {8s to safety, and say: men in that way! iad theundertaking, cwardnoess and , all hail to the be snapped | blundering in the man who saves a soul Christ, in plain, .

Then Jesus snatohed up the keys of death and hung them to His girdle and cried until all the graveyards of the earth heard Him: “Oh, death, I will ba thy plague! Oh, grave, I will be thy destruction!” But Christ's victories have only just be. gun. This world is His, and He must have it. What fs the matter in this soantry? Why all these financial troubles? There wever will be permanent prosperity in this land until Christ rules it. This land was discovered for Christ, and until our cities shall be avangelized and north, south, east and west shall acknowledge Christ as King and Redeemer we cannot have permanent prosperity.

A Jesus so kind, a Jeans so good, a Jesus so loving—how can you help but love Him? It is a beautiful moment when two per- sons who have pledged each other heart and hand stand in church and have the banns of marriage proclaimed. Father and mother, brothers and sisters stand around the altar. The minister of Jesus gives the counsel, the ring is set, earth and heaven witness it, the organ sounds and amid many congratulations they start out on the path of life together, Ob, that this w—y might be your marriage day! Stand up, immortal soul, Thy beloved comes to get His betrothed, Jesus stretches forth His hand and says, "I will love thee with an everlasting love,” and you respond, “My beloved is mine, and I am His.” I put your hand in His; henceforth be one, No trouble shall part you, no time cool your love, Bide by side on earth, side by side in heaven. Now let the blossoms of heavenly gardens 11] the house with thelr redolences and all the organs of God peal forth the wedding march of eternity, Hark! ‘The voles of my beloved, Behold He cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.” JEATH LURKS IN HAGAR'S WELL. he Annual Pligrimage to Mecon Re- garded with Appreheasion. » to the healt) tie annu M ee nw EArog 15 Mos than ever it Wis wins to Dresses MINERS FROZEN TO DEATH.

Stove Adapted for Hot Weather. Professor Willlam M. Watts, of Stil Pond, has a novelty in the form of a The stove is for use in the heated months of summer for reducing temperature, just as stoves heated by fire are used to raise the temperature in winter. By the use of salt, a small guantity of ce and a patented chem feal the most intense degree of cold is secured. So great Is the cold that it is as dangerous to touch this cold stove when In operation as it would be to place the hand on a fire stove at a high degree of heat. The skin is instantly taken off and painful injuries are the regult of the slightest contact. I'ro fessor Watts states that during the hot text weather the temperature of a room may be run down and made pleasant by the use of this novel device. The new process was discovered by a college mate of the teacher of the Still Pond school. The cost of operating the stove Is very slight.

In Jamaica and other West India | islands, they have s very curious way | of preserving eggs fresh for a congider- | able time. A layer of eggs is placed | at the botbom of a barrel, and ordinary black treacle is poured over in sufficient | quantity to cover them. Then another | layer is added, and more treacle, and | 80 on till the barrel is full. The idea | is that an egg can be kept good almost | indefinitely if the air can be prevented penetrating the porous shell to the | contents within, When the eggs have | all been used, the treacle is given a | fresh boil up and is thoroughly salable again. Ip Northern Hussia the farmers | use warm tallow in precisely the same | way; but this is said to slightly affect the flavor of the eggs. SUFFERING WOMEN.
