REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE EMINENT DIVINE'S SUNDAY DISCOURSE. Blessings — Our Lack of Appreciatiou of the Lord's Bounty. Copyright 1800 } Wasmingron, D. C. — Dr. Talmage preaches a discourse of Christian patriot ism, and shows the resources of our conn try, and predicts the time when all world will have the same blessings. His two texts are, Revelations xxi. 13. “On the south three gates:” Psalm exlvii, 20, “He hath not dealt so with any nation.” Among the greatest needs of our coun try is more gratitude to God for the un parelleled prosperity bestowed upon us comparison. et has of late had such enlargement of commercial opportunity as is now opening before this nation? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands brought into close contact with us, and through steam- ship subsidy and Nicaragua canal, which will surely be afforded by Congress. all the republics of South America will be brought into most active trade with the States. “On the south three gates” While our next-door neighbors, the south- ern republics and neighboring colonies, imported from European countries 3000 miles away $675.000.000 worth of goods in the United States -£126,000,000 out of $675, 000,000, only one-fifth of the trade ours, and leaving us the poor thumb this is to be changed but a comparative ferry between the isl and Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Venesuela, Salvador.

Oh, it seemed like some its consuming treasures, through which shot the long red shafts of calamity. Destruction waved its fiery banner from the remaining towers, and in the thunder of billowing fire I heard the spirits of ruin and desolation and woe clapping their hands and shouting, “Aha' aha!” I turned and looked upon the white dome of yonder capitol, which rose through the frosty air as imposing as though all the white marble of the earth had come to resurrection and stood he. fore us, reminding one of the great white throne of heaven. There it stood, un- moved by the terrors which that day had been kindled before it. No tremor in its majestic columns, no flush of excitement in its veins of marble. Column and capital and dome built to endure until the world itself shatters in the convulgions of the last earthquake, Oh, what a contrast be- tween the smoking ruin on the one hand and that gorgeous white dream of archi- tecture on the other! Well, the day spoede on when the grandest achievement of man will be consumed and the world will blaze. Down will go h gaticrion of art and thrones of royalty and the hurricane of God's power will scatter even the ashes of eon- sumed greatness and glory. Not one tower left, not one city unconsumed, not one scene of gran to relieve the desola- tion. Forests dismasted, seas licked up, continents sunk, hemis heres annihilated.
