VV r 'SUPS HAST CLOAKS May Hide the Real Nature From the World, but ire of Ko Use S SHIELDS FOR TRANSGRESSORS. .Theories and Professions Kot Enough to Tale a Han to Heaven, EXCEPT HE SEEKS THE TEUE WAT rsrscux. tileoiulm to tux htspatch.1 "WUfFIELD, Kax.. June 29. Dr. Tal xnage deals in bis sermon to-day in charac teristic style 'with the various garbs in which sin masquerades in modern society, and, in stripping the monster of its dis guises, he aims not only to reveal its de formity to the world, but to put his hearers on their guard against self-delusion. His text is John xv., 22: "But now they have no cloak for their sin." Sin is always disguised. Decked, and glossed, ana perfumed, and masked. It gains admittance in nlace from which it would otherwise be re pelled. As silently as when It elided into Eden and as plausibly as when it talked to Christ at the top ot the temple, it now addre-ses men. Could people look upon sin as it alwajsis an exhalation from the pit, the putrefaction of in finite capacities, the gbastly, loathsome. God smitten monster that uprooted Eden and killed Christ, and would push tbe entire race into darkness and pain the infernal charm wonid be broken. Before our first parents trans gressed, sin appeared to them the sweetness of fruit and the becoming as sods To Absalom 11 was the pleasure of sitting upon a throne. To men now sin is laucbter and permission to luxurious gratification. Jesus Christ in my text suggests a fact which everybody ought to know, and that is that sin. to bide its detorm ity and shame, is accustomed to wearing a cloak, and the Savior also sets forth the truth that God can tee Btraight through all such wrappings and thicknesses. I want now to speak of several kinds of cloaks with which men expect to cover up their iniquities, for the fashion in regard to these garments is con stantly changing, and erery day beholds some new st le or wearing them, and, if you tarry a little while I will showyou fire or six of the patterns of cloaks. INCOMPETESCT IN OFFICE. First, I remark that there are those who, be ing honored with official power, expect to make that a successful cloak for their sin. There is a sacredness in office. God himself is king, and all who hold authority in the world serve under Him. That community has committed a mon strous wrong who has elevated to this dignity persons unqualified either By their ignorance or their immorality. Nations who elevate to posts of authority those not qualified to fill them will eel the reaction, bolomnn expressed this bought when be said: "Woe unto thee, O and, when thy king is a child ana thy princes drink in the morning." While positions of trnst may be disgraced by the character of those who fill tbem. 1 believe God would have us re spectful to the offices, though we may hare no idmiration for their occupants. Yet this dig ity which office confers can be no apology for .ranszression. Nebuchadnezzar, and Ahab, and Herod, in the day of judgment, mnst stand on the level with the herdsmen that kept their flocks, and the fishermen of Galilee. Pope, and King, and .President, and Governor, muse giro .n account to God, and be judged by the same aw as that which judges the beggar and the lave. Sin is all the more obnoxious when it is imperial and lordly. You cannot make pride, or injustice, or cruelty sacred by giving it a throne. Belshazzar's decanters could not keep the mysterious fioger from writing on the wall. Ahab's sin literally hurled him from the throne to the dogs. The imperial vestments of wicked Jeboram could not keep Jehu's arrow from striking through his heart. Jezebel's queenly pretension could not save her from being thrown aver the wall. No barricade of thrones can arrest God's justice in its unerring march. No splendor, or thickness of official robes can be a sufficient cloak of sin. Henry V1IL. Louis XV".. Catharine of Russia, Mary of England did their crow ns save them? N o ruler eTer sat so high that the King of kings was not above him. All victors shall bow before Him who on the white horse goeth forth conquering and to conquer. Again, elegance of manners cannot success fully hide iniquity from the eye of God. lhat model, gentlemanly apostle. Paul, writes to us: "Be courteous." That man can neither be a rMwectAhl warJdit njr nor a cooaJatent, Ciirl tian who lacks good manners. lie is shut out from refined circles, and he certainly ought to be hindered from entering the cburcb. Wo cannot overlook that in a man which we could hardly excuse in a bear. One of the first effects of the crace of God upon an in dividual is to MAKE HIM A GENTLEMAN. Gruffncss, awkwardness. Implacability, clan xtishncss, are fruits ot tho devil; while gentle ness and meekness are fruits of the Spirit, liut while these excellences of manner aro so im portant, they cannot hide any deformity of moral character. How ofton It Is that we find attractiveness of person, suavity of manners, gracefulness of conversation, gallantry of be havior thrown liko wreaths upon moral death. The flowers that grow upon the scoria; of Vesu vius do not make It any less ot a volcano. Tho sepulchres In Christ's time did not exhaust all the whitewash, bomo of the ll:gest scoundrels have been the most fascinating. If there are any depending on outward gracefulness and at tractiveness of demeanor with any liopo that becauso of that God will forgive the sin ot their soul, let me assure them that the 'divine Justice cannot be satisfied with smiles and ele gant gesticulation. Christ looks deeper than the skin, and such a ragged cloak as the one in which lou are trying to rover yourself will be no biding In tho day of Ills power. Godwin not in the judgment ask how gracefully you walked, nor bow politely you bowed, nor how sweetly jou smiled, nor how impressively vou gestured. The deeds done in the body will be the tet, and not the rules of Lord Chesterfield. Again: Let me say that tho mere profession of religion is but a poor wrapping of a naked souL The importance of making a public pro fession of religion If the heart be renewed can not be exaggerated. Christ positively and n ith the earnestuess of the night before his crucifix ion commanded it. liut it is the result of Christian character, not the canse of It. Our church certificate is a poor title to heaven. We may hare the name aud not the reality. There are those who seem to throw themselves back with complacency upon their public confession of Christ although they give no signs of re newal. If batan can induce a man to build upon such a rotten foundation as that, be lias accomplished his object. We cannot imagine the abhorrence with which God looks upon such a procedure. What would be the feelings of a shepherd if be saw a wolf in the same fold with his flocks, however quiet he might seem to lie, or i general if among his troops be saw one wearing the appointed uniform who never theless really belonged to the opposition host. PBOFESSION AVAILS NOTHING. Thus must the heavenly Shepherd look upon those who, though they are not His sheep, hare climbed up some other way and thus must the Lord of hosts look upon those who pretend to be soldiers of the cross while they are His armed enemies. If any of you find yourselves deficient in the great tests of Christian charac ter, do not, I beg of you. look upon your pro fession of religion as auj thing consolatory. If yon have taken your present position from a view that you have of Christ and your need of Him, rejoice with ioy unspeakable and full of glory and clap your hands lor gladness, but if you find yourself with nothing but the name of me, wnne aeaa in trespasses ana tins, arouse before the door is shut. That gilded profession the world may not be able to see tbrongh it, but in the day of divine reckoning it will be found that you have no cloak for your sin. Furthermore: Outward morality will be no covering lor the hidden iniquity of the spirit. The gcspel of Christ makes no assault upon good works. They are as beautiful in God's eye as in ours. Punctuality.truibfulne-s, aims- fr '.'! aBection and many other excellences of ire that might be mentioned will always be ad mired or God and man. but we take the posi tion that good works cannut be the ground of our salvation.

A purposes, arid passed his life in the visiting ot the distressed and done much to excite the ad miration of the good and the great, if he have no intimate relation to Jesns Christ There is a pride and a depravity in his soul that he has never discovered. A brilliant ontside will be no apology for i depraved inside. It is no theory of mine but an announcement of God, who cannot lie. "By the deeds of the law shall no flesh living be justified." Open the door of heaven and look in. Howard is there, but he did not secure bis entrance by the dungeons he illumined and the lazzarettos Into which he carried the medicines. Paul is there, but he did not earn his way in by the shipwrecks and imprisonments and scourgings. On a throne overtopping perhaps all others, except Christ s. the old missionary exclaims: "By the grace ol God I am what I am." Again: Exalted social position will be no cloak for sin. Men look through the wicket door of prisons, and, seeing the incarcerated wretches, exclaim: "Oh. how much vice there is in the world!" And they pass through the degraded streets of a city, and looking into the doors of hovels and the dens of corruption they call them God-forsaken abodes. But you might walk along the avenues through which the opulent roll in their flourishing pomp and into mansions elegantly adorned, and find that even in the admired walks of life Satan works mischief and death. The first tomptation Satan wrought in a garden, and he understands jet thoroughly how to insinuate himself Into any door ol ease and splendor. Men frequently judge of Bin by the places in which it is com mitted, but iniquity in satin is to God as loath some as iniquity in rags, and in the Day of Judgment the sins of Madison avenue and Kim street will all be driven In one herd. Men can not escape at last for being respectably sinful. You know Dives was clothed In purple and fine linen and tared sumptuonsly every lay. but his fine clothes and good dinners did not save bim. He might on earth have drunk something as rich as champagne and cognac, but at last he asked for one drop of water. TOD CANNOT TKADE OFF your attractive abodes here for a bouse of many mansions on high and your elegant shade groves here will not warrant you a seat under the tree ot life. When God drove Adam and Eve out of Eden, He showed that merely living in a garden of delights and comforts will never save a man or woman. By giving you so much earthlv luxury and refinement, He intimated that He would have you enjoy yourselves, but He would not have you wrap yourself up in tbem as a cloak to hide your sins. God now walks in your gardens as He did In Eden, even in the cool of the day, and He stands by your well as He did by a well in Samaria, and He would make your comfort on earth a type of your rapture in heaven. Furthermore: Here soundness of religious belief will not hide our iniquities. There are men whose heads are as sound as Jonathan Edwards or John Wesley, whose hearts are as rotten as Tom Palne's or Charles Guiteau's. It is important that we be theoretical Christians. It i utter folly in this day, for a man to bave no preference for any one form of faith, when it is so easy to become conversant with the faith of the different sects. An Intoxicated manstaggeied into my bouse one night beg ging for lodging. He made great pretentions to religion. I asked where he went to church. He said: "Nowhere; I belong to liberal Chris tianity." But there are those who never be come Christians because their obstinacy pre vents them from ever taking a fair view ot what religion is. They are like a brute beast J in the iact tnat their greatest strength lies in their horns. They are combatant, and all they are ever willing to do for their souls is to enter an ecclesiastical fight. I have met men who would talk all day upon the ninth chapter of Romans, who were thoroughly helpless before the fourteenth chapter of John. But there are those who, having escaped from this condition, are now depending entirely upon their sound npsa of rellnoufl theory. The doctrines of 'man's depravity and Christ's atonement and God's sovereignty are theoretically received by them. But, alasl there they stop. USELESS THEOEIES. It is only the shell of Chnstianity containing no evangelical life. 1 hey standlooking over Into heaven and admire its beauty and its song, and are so pleased with the looks from the outside that they cannot be Induced to enter. They could make a better argument for the truth than 10.000 Christians who bave in their hearts ' received it. If syllogisms and dilemmas and sound propositions and logical deductions could save their souls, they would be among the best of Christians. Their could correctly define re pentance and faith and the atonement, while they bave never felt one sorrow for sin nor exercised a moment's confi dence in the great sacrifice. They are almost immovable In their position. We cannot present anything about the religion of Christ (hat they do not know. The Savior described the f ato of such a one in His parable: "Ana that servant which "knew his Lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to His will, shall be beaten with many stripes." 'theories in religion have a beauty of their own. but If they result in no warm to ot Christian Ufa it is the beauty or hornblende and feldspar. Do not call such coldnes and hardness religion. The River of Life never rreezes over. Icicles never bang on the eaves of heaven. Soundness of intellectual belief is a beautiful cloak, well woven and well cut. but in the hour when God .snail demand our souls It will not of Itself be sufficient to bide our iniquities. My friends, can it be that I bave been un kind, and torn from you some hope upon which Jou were resting for time and eternity? Verily, would bo unkind if, having taken awayiour cloak, I did not offer you something better. This is a cold world and you want something to wraparound yuur spirit. Christ offers you a robe to-day. H wove It Himself, and He will now with Ills own band prepare it to fit your soul. The righteousness He offers is like the coat Ho used to wear about J udea, without seam from top to bottom. There is a BAY OF DOOM. Coward would I belt I did not daro tell vou this. It shall bo a day ot unutterable dis appointment to those who have trusted In their official dignity, In their elegant manners, In their outward morality, in their soundness of Intellectual belief. But I seoasoul standing before God who onco was thoroughly defiled. Yet look at bim and you cannot find a single transgression anywhere about bim. How Is this, you ask. Was he not once a habbath breaker, a blasphemer, a robber, a perjurer, a thief, a murderert Yes, but Christ bath cleansed bim. Christ bath lifted him up. Christ bath rent off his rags. Christ hath clothed hi m In a spotless robe of righteous ness. This Is the reason why you cannot see his former degradation. This glorious hone in Christ's name Is nmf. f ered to-day. Wandering and wayward soul. Is not this salvation worth coming for, worth striving for? Do you wonder that so many with bitter weeping besought it and with a very en thusiasm of sorrow cried for divine compas sion? Do you wonder at the earnestness of those who stand in pulpits beseeching men to be reconciled to God? Nay, do vou wonder at the Importnmty of the Holy Ghost who now strivetb with thy soul? In many of the palaces of Europe the wells are mosaic Fragments of shells and glass are arranged by artists and aggregated into a pictorial splendor. Wbatl made ont of broken shells and broken class! Ob, yes; God grant that by the transforming power of His Spirit we may all-be made a part of the eternal palace, our broken and f rag mentary natures polished and shaped and lifted up to make a part of the everlasting splendors ot the heavenly temple! For sinners. Lord, Thou cam'st to bleed, And I'm a sinner vile Indeed. Lord. 1 believe Thy grace Is tree; Oh, inagnlfr Tbv grace in me. BUINIHG THE HEAVY VHLAHTS.

Hew York Son, 8 uperBtition is always at its height when trouble oppresses the heart. This is true of nations as well as of individuals. In Bussia the most absurd superstitions are rampant at the present time. Prophets of evil ap pear in almost every province and city. Quite recently such a prophet, announcing the destruction of Odessa, appeared in the theater ot the place and came near creating a panic In Serpookhov, in the Govern ment of Moscow, a similar but more charac teristic incident occurred. An official an nouncement was placarded on the street corners. The common people of that godly city are unable to read. They requested a 'man who looked like a priest to decipher for them tho contents of the bill. He unhesitatingly and Dositively declared thut it contained the warning that the city of Serpookhov would be swallowed in tbe ground. In less than an hour the news spread throughout tbe place, and the people abandoned their work and began streaming out into the fields in large crowds. All the factories were de serted by the laborers. It took dome time before the frightened crowds were restored to reason and to their regular pursuits; but tbe originator ot tbe trouble could not be touud. So, also, false nronhets wizards, clairvoyants and mystics of this kind have nude their appearance in Kharkov, Kursk aud Kiev. Happily in all instances serious trouble has been averted by the prompt interlerence of the authorities. Blessing of Nleep.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH, CANNED FRUIT RISE Anticipated by Our YholesaIe Deal ers, by Keason of a Most UNFAVORABLE O0TLOOLFOR FRD1T California Packers Refusing Orders Fall Delivery-. for INTERESTING ITEMS AS TO CHEESE - ofi-ice or FrrrsBURO dispatch, ) SATUBDAT. June 28. 1890. J In the wholesale grocery line volume of trade the past week shows some decline, as compared with previous weeks. Sugars have been weak at the lower prices. For some time back refined sugars have been too high as compared with the raw article. Now the price of refined is about right in comparison with raw sugar. While there has been no change in coffee for a few weeks past, prices are barely steady. Markets are not so strong as they were a week ago. Canned fruits are very firm and the drift of prices is upward. The time for buying canned fruits at reasonable prices is past. Those who placed orders in this line a week ago were lucky, as there has been a sharp advance within a few days. Late advices from Michigan and New Xork, where the npple.crop is a bie item, indicate a great fulling off from general expectations. Tbe most favorable estimates may place tbe crop fnrtho-o States a little above 25 per cent of the avenge. From tbe Pacific slope comes the news that the prune crop, which It was thought a few weeks would be large, will not be one-half that of last year. Estimates place the yield all tbe way from SO to SO per cent of last year's yield, but no estimate goes bejond tbe last figure. California fruit packers have withdrawn prices. Tbe present outlook is that there w ill be a great scarcity of canned and evaporated fruits this season. Old stock In the hands of our whole sale grocers is well used up. and there is no eagerness to place future orders at present rates, bald a leading jobber to-day: "I was fortunate enough to place orders with Califor nia frnlt packers for 3.000 cases a few weeks ago. One-half of these goods are already sold at a moderate profit. The other half I expect to yield much better profits, and within a few days I have refused to accept orders for future deliveries. It is abont as certain as anything future can be. that canned and evaporated frnits will be higher tbe coming fall and winter than they bave been for many years." Stvrlizer Cheese. New Ohio cheese has been very abundant tho past week and prices are lower. .New York cheese has not beenso plenty, and prices of last week are fairly well maintained. Swiss cheese is scarce and firm. Dealers report that tbev are nnable to obtain full supplies. That there is plenty of stock in the bands of pro ducers admits of no doubt. Tbe season has been one exceedingly favorable to dairy pro ducts. Grazing was never better, and all re ports from the cheese producing sections of Ohio and Wisconsin Indicate a large output. But producers for somo reason are withholding stock from markets. Prices are higher than they were a year ago, and bnyers are disposed to demand concessions which producers are unwilling to grant. It cannot be very long un til there will be plenty of domestic sweitzer on the market, -as it is certain that stock is ac cumulating very fast In the hands of Troducers. When tbe break comes, as it must boforelong, there will undoubtedly be a sharp uecline in prices. The drop in all domestic cheese usually comes in the early part of Jane. This season has been exceptional in this respect. Hide and Harness Leather. Tbe situation the pas't week is practically un changed. Trade is fairly active and better than it usually is In mldsnmmer weather. Prices of hides and calf skins are well maintained and movement is fairly active. The harness leather tanners report a good demand and no accumulation of stock. At this season of the year if stock does not accumulate trade is re garded as entirely satisfactory. The capacity of the harness leather tanneries of Allegheny has been Increased fully 25 per cent in the past two or three years, aud still demand Is good for the entire output at tbe dnll season of the year. HOME SECURITIES. Tbo Week Closes With Many Figures nnd One Little Transaction. The last stock call of tho week was produtlve of a formidable array of figures, covering nearly ovcrythlg on the list, but there was nothing in the way of business at the other end of tbo line, tho only sale bolng 10 shares of Electric at 88 at a slight improvement. It seems entirely safe to bid tho market down, as those In this habit know that tbey are about as liable to be struck by lightning as tbey are to got what they pretend to want. There are low weak holders. In regard to prlco changes, they aro too small to possess much significance, and are more ap parent than real. Gains and louos during the week woro confined to fractious, with tho former lu tho majority.

DBOPPED SUDDENLY. Chicago Gas Lets Go. Checking the Upward Movement of tbe Bhnre LIsi A Sharp Advance In Pnllman Stock Trnata Ncaleeted. Nb w Yobk, June 28. Notwithstanding the general expectation that the bauk statement to-day would be an unfavorable one, tbe bullish character of the news and late developments in the railroad world stimulated some buying, especially for foreign account this morning, and deterred tbe professionals from hammer ing the list. The opening, therefore, was strong though dull, and except for a short time the market presented a firm appearance throughout tbe session. The manipnlation of Chicago Gas. by which it was dropped suddenly 2 per cent in early dealings, was the cause of tbe temporary Inter ruption of tbe upward movement, but tbe loss was soon recovered, and on a very moderate business a steady though slow advance took glace, leaving most of the list small fractions etter than lastevening at the close. The features of tbe day besides the move ment In Chicago Gas comprised a sharp ad vance of 9K per cent In Pullman Palace Car stock and a material gain In Pacific Mail for no apparent reason. The trusts were very dull and moved within narrow limits. The rise in Pull man was caused by an order to buy a few hundred shares only. Tbe principal changes are generally slight, but Pullman is up 9, Pa cific Mall IK. and Canada Pacific 1, the last named un sales ot only 200 shares. Railroad bonds were comparatively active, with sales of $463,000, and the final changes show unusually important gains, though they are usually among inactive bonds. The Haiti more and Ohio Parkersburg, 6s rose 2, to 120, and Chicago Gas lsts 3 to 109. Government bonds bave been dull and steady. State bonds have been neglected.

Harper's Weekly. 1 Persons who have never been trained to walk fast generally quicken their gait by bending forward and lengthening the stride, at the same time bending the knees very much at each step. It is pretty safe to say that no one can possibly adopt tbis style and keep a fair walk: at a faster gait than six miles an hour. The fast walker must keep himself erect, his shoulders back, and chest thrown out. He mnst put down his forward foot and heel first, and with the leg straight. He must take strides so quick that they look short. He must, if h,e expects to get a good stride, work his hips consider ably, overcoming the sidewisc tendency of the hip movement by a compensatory swing ing of the arms. The length of stride in fast walking is astonishing to those who look at it. A lit tle figuring will make it clear why tbis is so. There are 1,760 yards in a mile, or 1,760 strides 3 feet long. To do a mile in 8 min utes a walker must cover 220 yards a minute, or 11 feet a second. Now 220 steps a minute nearly 4 a second is pretty quick work, as anyone may discover for himself. Even 3 steps a second, or 180 to the minute, seems quick. The chances are that youreignt-minnte man, although his legs move so quickly that the steps seem short, is not doing as many as 200 steps to the minute, and consequently that the stride is ot ieasK3 feet 6 inches. With a little practice a man 6 feet high can easily maintain a 4-foot stride for half a mile. Depew at Chicago. Merchant Traveler. When Mr. Depew spoke in Chicago on the World's Fair, he represented the nation; St, Louis spelled it condemnation; Now York took a "b" and spelled it "approba tion," una Chicago with an "m" made it "acclamation."

There were very few strawberries on the market to-day. Tbe season is practically over. The first Rochelle blackberries of the season were offered this morning. Home-grown rasp berries were in fair supply. Watermelons are plenty and prices are tending downward; Supply of potatoes is still short of demand and markets are very firm at prices quoted. Ad vices from Tennessee, whence potatoes have been coming ot late, indicate that crop Is light. In the line of dairy products there are no new developments sinco our last report.

CHICAGO Only a fair business was trans acted In wheat to-day, and after a Xc lower opening, tbe market became strong and ad vanced llic for tbe different futures, ruled steady and closed about Xc higher for July and ic higher for deferred futures than closing figures of yesterday. Operators were rather bearlshly Inclined at the opening, bnt tbe feel ing was a little unsettled, and on good bnylng a steady advance In prices was established. Cable advices were not quite as favorable. Some foreign buying orders, which bave been on tbe market for several days at a limited fig ure, were ordered to-day to be immediately filled, and It was thought that the foreign mar kets are on tbe point of turning np. ' Corn ruled quiet and inactive most of the session, and price changes slight. First sa'les were ia under the closing prices of yesterday, but atterward advanced slightly, ruled easier aud closed HKC lower than yesterday. Oats A quiet and easier market was noted.

Prices declined 507c, and the market closed steauy at tne reduction. Short Rib Sides Quite a good business was transacted. Prices receded 2X5c, and the market closed steady at tbe reduction.
