THE CIN TRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1807. HUSKING TIME. The World's Harvest Awaits the Grim Reaper Those Who Suffer Pain and Tribulation in Thiaz Life for Christ's Sake Will Be the Most Radiant the Lingdom of Heaven. in Rev. Dr. Talmage preaches a harvest sermon and urges his hearers to strive to be good grain and not "nubbins” that are barely worth the husking, His text is Job 0b: 26: *‘As a shock of corn cometh in in his season.” Going at the rate of 40 miles the hour { cheek, and how benumbed wera the hands. But after awhile the sun was high up and all the frosts went out of the air, and hilarities awakened the echoes and joy from one corn shock | wentup, “Aha, aha!" and was nnswered | by joy from another corn shock, "Aha, aha!” So we all realize that the death of our friends is the nipping of many ex- i pectations, the freezing, the chilling, | among a few days ago, 1 caught this sermon. | If you have recently been in the fields of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York, or New England, or any of the country districts, you know the corn is nearly all cut knife struck through the and left them all along the until a man came with a bundle of straw and twisted a few of these of into a band, and then gathering up as much of the corn as he could compass with his arms, he bound it with this wisp of straw, and then stood it in the field in what is called a shock that there bushels of or stalks fields Ww ISps It is estimated are now several billion corn stand- fng in the shock, waiting to be husked. the the farmers will gather, Sometime during next month ne farm another day on put husking apron, and they husking peg, which isa one day on another f their will take arm, and they will on rough the piece of tened to tl sheath the corr it in his f Ter wn out of : Christian peo it were Lhe be blessings vestibule A vast multit ieath as thoug! fisaster of disasters instead of ng man the blessing of of a tempie n ton Ron wi It is moving out id infos warm grating into groves ff redolence a It isn change from March to roseate June It is a change yf manacles garlands. It is the transmuting of the handeuffs of «»arthly incarnation the diamond Ywristlets of a bridal or to use the suggestion of my husking time. It is the tearing off of the rough sheath of the body that the | perpetual frultage bleak for iron into party; that | The sharp | straw | the text, it is only | bright and the beautiful soul may go | freo, cometh in in his season.” Christ broke up a funeral procession at the gate of Nain by making a resurrection day for a young man and his mother. And 1 would that I eould break up your sad- posses and halt the long funeral pro cession of the world’s grief by some cheering and cheerful view of the last transition. We all know that husking time was a time of frost. Frost on the fence Frost on the stubble. Frost on the ground. Frost on the bare branches of the trees. ¥irost in the air. Frost on the hands of the huskers. You remem- ber we used to hide behind the eorn- stalks 80 as to keep off the wind, but still you remember how shivering was ‘he body and how painful was the | # Coming in ‘like a shock of corn | the frosting of many of our hopes. It is far from being a south wind It comes from the frigid north, and when they go away from us we bes numbed in body and benumbed in mind in soul We neighbors, our dead “Will Yes, we will shoutings stand benumbed stand our dead families, and we say: get over it?" amid the of Heavenly re- union, and back to all these distresses of bereavement only as the temporary distresses of husking time, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." “Light, and but for a moment.” The chill of the frosts followed by the gladness that cometh in “like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.” Of the husking time made rough work with the ear of corn. The husking peg had to be thrust in and hard thumb of the husker had to come down on the swathing of the ear, and then there was a pull and a ruth- and we ever get over it we will look course, | less tearing, and then a complete snap- latter part of | ping off before the corn was free, and if the husk could have spoken it would “Why do v« nm wa lacerate me? me?” Ah, ay have said: Why friends, do y¢ wrench that ranged that the ear and the husk shall my is the w God has ar part, and that the 1} You can aff listresses ranged } separate, rd to have your physical know that ti} way the me way | » Heaven- | Heavenly | rtality orth muce around there are people who amount to noth of one pot w SO Ri us kind on nibbled on one mildewed all fuifiil- Nub- ing.

Who would not rath- many they are not worthy be | er have the pains of this life, the mis. | fortunes of this life-—who would not rather be torn, and wounded, and lae- erated, and wrenched, and husked, and at last go in amid the very best grain of the granery, than to be pronounced pot worth husking at all? Nubbins? | In other words, 1 want to say to you people who have distress of body and distress in business, and distress of all sorts, the Lord has not any grudge against you. It is not derogatory, it is complimentary. "Whom the Lord loveth He chastensth,” and it is proof positive that there Is something valu. able in you, or the Lord would not have husked you. The husking time was the time of neighborhood reunion, and so Heaven will be just that. There they come up! They slept in the old village church yard! There they come upl They re way He has ar- | and soul shall | clined amid the fountains and the sculpture and the parterres of a city cemetery, There they come up! They went down when the ship foundered off Cape Hatteras up from all sides—from potter's field and out of the solid masonary of West» minster Abbey, They come up! They come up! All the hindrances to their better nature husked off, All their spiritual despondencies husked off, All their hindrances to usefuluess husked off. God-fashioned grain, visible and eon- spicuous Some of them disagreeable on earth were such Christians you hardly stand in their presence in Heaven they are so radiant you hardly kvow them. The fact all their imperfections have been husked off. They did not mean on earth to be disagreeable, They meant well enough, but they told you how sick you looked, and they told you how many hard things they had heard about you, and they told you how often they had to stand up for you in some battles until you wished almost they had been slain in some of the conscerated, ables Now is, battles Good, pious, waeli-meaning Qisagreoe- their off ness has been husked off be. meets is as happy as he can be Now, in Heaven all ensives Each one is Every one he Heav- reunion as happy as he can en one great neighborhood All kings and queens, all songsters, all millionaires, all banqueters, God, the chil No “good-bye” and No of under into the sea of Father, with His fren all Him grave ¢ ar in all the alr hills of pearl in all the River erystal rolling over bed chrysoprasus, wd with Stand at the the t frosts into the nto the fire granary and see 1t of the of grain sun the darkness thie rip rating, and t int ETA th i Dary LA 8 nin hi rary residence, and her great array of ‘ wished to Wik after displaying and leaving them on the all her friends had gone, servants had gone—ofte sum he sat thinking and look 1st in front of her chair, hat mirror the in st the shind her end gazing at when she saw in face robber looking window hose jewels fright, but sat still, why she did so an old nursery song, the pathos of the She was in great and hardly she began to sing kgowing her fears song more telling making Suddenly she noticed ie looking at the that the robber's face had gone from the window, and it did A few days after the donna received a letter from the saying “I heard that the jewels were to be out that night and 1 came to take them at whatever hazard; but when I heard you sing that nur- wh mirror not cote back prima robber, sery song with which my mother so | often sang me to sleep, | could not stand it and I fled, and have resolved upon a new and an honest life.” O my friends, there are jewels in peril richer than those which lay upon that table that night. They are the jowels of the immortal soul. Would God that some song rolling up out of the deserted nursery of your child. hood, or some song rolling up out of the cornfield, the song of the huskers $0 or 40 years ago, might turn all our feet out of the paths of sin into the paths of righteonspess. Would God that those memories wafted in on odor or song might start us this moment with swift feet toward that blessed place where so many of our loved ones have already preceded us, "as a shook of corn cometh in in his season ™ There they come | The grain, the golden grain, the | could | | TRICKY BABY PETE. | HE COMMITTED THE THEFTS FOR WHICH A MAN WAS DISCHARGED, A Midnight Adventure In the Winter Quarters of an Elephant Herd How Bly Peto Got Away From His Stake and Stole a Bag of Oats.

In time of battle Woman is just as necessary as man, Just wearing a uniform and shooting a gun are not all that constitute a soldier, What about woman's place in the hos pitals during time of war? Does it not require a brave heart and a strong verve to wait on the wounded or dying? Is not a woman a soldier who can assist the surgeon as he amputates a limb or binds a fractured bone? Are not the Red Cross nurses soldiers? It seems to me that a woman will make just as good a widier as a man and always find her place in time of war.’ the | and packed | and ! down and | MOTHERHOOD.
