6 THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1896, EED. SOWING THE Dr. Talmage Draws Some Lessons From the Farm. The Secd Must be Well Selected and the Plowing Must be Deep If We Would Reap a Plentiful Harvest of Good Graln In his latest effort the popular Wash- ington divine tells his hearers why it is necessary that God their to seed from being hearts, should harrow souls prevent the precious f their “My stolen His text was s the husbandman.” John his last summer, having gone in dif- ferent directions over between 5,000 and 6,000 mile { harvest fl hardly oper ing the brea seeing ©! fleld,.

Just as in Nebraska the United States government on payment of 816 years ago gave pre-emption right to 160 acres to any man would settle and cultivate the soil, All expected to cultivate ground except ministers of religion. It was supposed that they would have their time entirely oecu- pied with their own profession, al though I am told that sometimes min- isters do plunge so deeply into world- liness that they remind one Thomas Frazer said in man in his preached very well, but lived ill: “When he is out of the pulpit, it is a pity he should RO it, and when he is pulpit, it is a pity he should ever come out of iv’ land, if cultivated after his own p who there lasses of people were of what regard to a day who very ever in the They were not small cr those times, for rude, the pl! soil, 1 and all k call of t one stall tween ps raised in thoug arts were ears.

Deep plowing for a soul, He who makes light of sin will never amount to anything in the ehurch or in the world. If a man speaks of sin as though it were an in sceuracy or a mistake, instead of the loathsome, abominable, consuming snd damning thing that God hates, that man will never yield a harvest of usefulness, When I was a boy I plowed a fleld with a team of spirited horses. I ed it very quickly.

Let us be sure we sow the right kind of seed Sow mullen stalk and mullen stalk will come up. Sow Canada thisties and Can- ada thistles will come up. Sow wheat and wheat will come up. Let us dis- tinguish between truth and error. Let us know the difference between wheat and hellebore, oats and henbane. The largest denomination in this country is the denomination of Noth- ingarians. Their religion is a system of negations. You say to one of them, “What you believe?" “Well, 1 don't believe in infant baptiam.” “What do you believe?” Well, I don't believe in the perseverance saints.” “Well do believe?” do of the now tell me what you ‘Well, I don't believe in the eternal punishment of the wicked.” So thelr religion is a row of ciphers Believe something and teach it; or to resume the figure of my text, scatter abroad the right kind of seed A minister the other day preached a sermon caleulated to set the nat of Christians quarreling was sowing denomi- He the would ons netties A minister day advertised that the and untranscendental forces Weeds : | other he preach ty of {forces a sermon on superiori- transcendental to organized organized and was un- he ord Je sowing nineteen ‘trine, the stock vernments of the here shall be a flow. fterawhile, All from of doetrir Every comes up.

What did God mean in this country in 18577 For a century there was the gospel preached, but a great deal of it produced no result. Then God harnessed a wild panie to a harrow of commercial disaster, and that hare row went down Wall street, and up Wall street, down Third street, and up Third street, down State street, and up State street, down Pennsylvania avenue, and up Pennsylvania avenue, uatil the whole land was torn to as it had never been before. What followed the harrow? A great awaken ing In which there were 500,000 souls brought into the kingdom of our Lord, No harrow, no crop.

The Lord of the harvest has omised it. I see the load at last coming to the door of the heavenly garner.
