TBTT.CIXL TELEGKAM TO TBI DIBrATCff.1
"Waseca, Mink., July 13. Dr. Tal
mage, who lectured here yesterday.preacued
to an enormous outdoor gathering to-day.
His subject was: "Meeting Our Friends in
Heaven." The eminent clergyman took for
his text II. Sam. xii: 23. "I shall go to;him."
His sermon was as follows:
There is a very sick child in the abode of
David the King. Disease, which stalks up
the dark lane of the poor and puts its
smothering hand on the lip and nostril of
the wan and wasted, also mounts the palace
stairs, and bending over the pillow blows
into the face of a young prince the frosts of
pain and death. Tears are wine to the King
of Terrors. Alasl for David the King. He
can neither sleep nor eat, and lies prostrate
on his face, weeping and wailing until the
palace rings witn the outcry of woe.
"What are courtly attendants, or victorious
armies, or conquered provinces, under such
circumstances? "What to any parent is
all splendid surrounding when his child is
sick? Seven days have passed on. Then in
that great house two eyelids are gently
closed, two little hands folded, two little
feet quiet, one heart still. The servants
come to bear the tidings to the King, but
they cannot make up their minds to tell
him, and they stand at the door whispering
about the matter, and David hears them and
he looks up and says to them, "Is the child
dead?" "Yes, he is dead." David rouses
himself up, washes himself, puts on new ap
parel, and sits down to food.
FDTUEE KECOGNITIOX.
"What power hushed that tempest? What
strength was it that h.ted up that king
whom grief had dethroned? Oh, it was the
thought that he would come again into the
possession of that darling child. No grave
digger's spade could hide him. The wintry
blasts of death could not put out the bright
light. There would be a forge somewhere
that with silver hammer would weld the
broken links. In a city where the hoofs of
the pale horse never strike the pavement he
would clasp his lost treasure. He wipes
away the tears irom his eyes, and he clears
the choking grief from his throat, and ex
claims, "I shall go to him."
"Was David right or wrong? If we part
on earth will we meet again in the next
world? "Well," says some one, "that
seems to be an impossibility. Heaven is so
large a place we never could find our kin
dred there." Tremendous questionl It
makes the lip quiver and the cheek flush
and the entire nature thrill: Shall we
know each other there? I get letters almost
every month asking me to discuss this sub
ject. J get a letter in a bold, scholarly
hand, on gilt-edged paper, asking me to dis
cuss this question, and I say: "Ah, that is
a curious man, and he wants a curious
5uestinn solved." Hut I get another letter,
t is written with a trembling hand, and on
what seems to be a torn-out leaf of a book,
and' here and there is the mark of a tear:
and I say: "Oh, that is a broken heart and
it wants to be comforted."
Tho object of this sermon Is to take this
theory out of the region of surmise and
speculation into the region of positive cer
tainly. People wtv: "H would be very
pleasant If that doctrine wcto true. 1 hop
u nmy ifi true, remaps h is. true. J with
It wero true." Hut I believe that I cnti
brln? an flrciiiiitiluiloii of urn nine tit to hear
upon this MHttcr which will prove tho dee

will bo as certain the dying kin at the
sepulchre. Now, when you fire going to
build a thin you must get tho right kind of
timber. Ynu lay the keel end nuke the
frame work uf the very best materials,
the keelson, tliiunchious, plauk-ihear, eouu-ler-tlmber-knee,
transoms, all of solid oak.
You may build a ship nf lighter material,
but when thu cyclone comes on, It will go
down. Now wo may have a great many
bruutllul theories about the future world,
built out of our own fancy, and they may
do very well as long as we have smooth ail
ing in tho world; but when the storms of
sorrow come upon us, and the hurricane of
death, we will he swntnpud wo will be
foundered. We wantn theory built out of
the solid oslc ot Ood's ctcrnn! Word.
The doctrine of future recognition Is not
so oltcn positively stated In the Word nf
God as implied, nnd you know, my friends,
that that is, afler ull. the strongest mode of
ndlrruutlon. Your friend travels in foreign
lands, lie comes home. Iledoes not brgln
by arguing with you to prove that there aro
such places as Loudon and Stockholm and
1'arli and Dresden und Merlin, but his con
versation implies It. And so this lllblo
does not so positively stale this theory as, all
up nnd down its chapters, take it lor
granted. What does my text imply? "I
rhall go to him." What consolation would
it be to David to go to bis child li he would
not know him? Would David havo been
allowed to record this anticipation for the
inspection of all ages if it were a ground
lets anticipation?
We read in the first book of the lilble:
Abraham died and was gnthercd (o his peo
ple. Jacob died and was gathered to his
people. Moses died and was gnthercd to his
people. What people? Why, their Iriends,
their comrades, their old companions. Of
course, it means that. It cannot mean any
thing else. So in the very beginning of the
Bible four times that is taken for granted.
The wholo New Testament is an arbor over
which this doctrine creeps like a luxuriant
vine full of the purple clusters of consola
tion. James, John and Peter followed
Christ into the mountain.
ANGELS KNOW EACH OTIIER.
A light falls Irom heiven oa that moun
tain and lifts it into the glories of the celes
tial. Christ's garments glow and His face
shines like the sun. The door of heaven
swings open. Two spirits come down and
alight on that mountain. The disciples look
at them and recognize them as Moses and
Elias. Now, if those disciples standing on
the earth could recognize these two spirits
who had been for years in heaven, do you
tell me that we, with our heavenly eyesight,
will not be able to recognize those who have
gone out from among us only 5, 10, 20, 30
years aeo?
The Bible indicate', over and over again,
that the angels know each other; and then
the Bible says tiiat we are to be higher than
the angeU, and if the angels have the power
of recognition, shall not we, who are to be
higher than they in the next realm, have as
good eyesight and as good capacity? What
did Christ mean, in His conversation with
Mary and Martha, when he said, "Thy
orotner shall rise again?" It was as much
ns to say, "Don't cry. Don't wear vour
selves out with this trouble. You will see
him again. Thy brother shall rise again..
The Bible describes heaven as a great home
circle. Well, now, that would be a very
queer home circle where the members did
not know each other. The Bible describes
death as a sleep. If we know each other be
fore we go to sleep, shall we not know each
other after we wake up? Oh. yes. We will
know each other a great deal better then
than now, "for now," says the npostle. "We
see through glas darkly, hut then face io

able to say, with all the concentrated energy
of body, mind and soul, "I know it is so."
FORGETFULNESS IMPOSSIBLE.
There are, in addition to these Bible argu
ments, other reasons why I accept this the
ory. In the .first place, because the rejec
tion of it implies the entire obliteration of
our memory. Can it be possible that we
shall forget forever those with whose walk,
look, manner we have been so Jongfsmiliar?
Wili death come and with a sharp, keen
blade hew awav this faculty of memory?
Abraham said to .Dives, "Son, remember."
If the exiled and lost remember, 'will not
the enthroned remember? You know very
well that our joy in nnv circumstance is
augmented by the companionship of our
friends. We cannot see a picture with less
than lour eyes, or hear a song with less than
four ears. We want some one beside us
with whom to exchange glances and sympa
thies; and I suppoe the joy of heaven is to
be augmented by the fact that we are to have
our friends with us when there rise before
us the thrones of the blessed, and when
there surges up in our ears the jubilate of
the saved.
Heaven is not a'contraction, it is an ex
pansion. If I know you here, I will know
you better there. Here I see you with only
two eyes, but there the soul shall have
1,000,000 eyes. It will be immortality gaz
ing on immortality ransomed spirit in
colloquy with ransomed spirit victor be
side victor. When John Evans, the Scotch
minister, was seated in his study, his wile
came in and said to him, "My dear, do you
thins: we will know each other in heaven?"
He turned to her and said. "My dear, do
you think we will be bigger fools in heaven
than we are here?"
Again: I accept this doctrine of future
recognition because the world's expectancy
affirms it. In all lands and ages this theory
is received. What form of religion planted
it? No form of religion, for it is received
under all forms of religion. Then, I argue,
a sentiment, a feeling, an anticipation, uni
versally planted, must' have been God
implanted, and if God-implanted, it is
rightfully implanted. Socrates writes:
"Who would not part with a great deal to
purchase a meeting with Orpheus and
Homer? If it be true that this is to he the
consequence of death, I could even be able
to die often." Amontr the Danes, when a
master dies his servant sometimes stabs
himself that be may serve bis master in the
future world. Cicero, living before Christ's
coming, said, "Oh, glorious day, when I
shall retire from this low and sordid scene,
to associate
WITH THE DIVINE ASSEMBLAGE
of departed spirits, and not only with the
one I have just now mentioned, but with my
dear Cato, the best of sons and the most
faithful of men. If I seemed to bear his
death with fortitude, it was by no means
that I did not most sensibly feel the loss I
had sustained. It was because I was sup
ported by the consoling reflection that we
could not long be separated." The Nor
wegian believes it. The Indian believes it.
The Greenlander believes i(. The Swiss
believes it. The Turk believes it. Under
every sky, by every river, in every zone,
the theory is adopted; and so I say a
principle universally implanted must be
God-implanted, and hence a right belief.
The argument is irresistible.
Again: I adopt this theory because there
are features of moral temperament and feat
ures of the soul that will distinguish us for
ever. How do we know each other in this
world? Is it merely by the color of the eye,
or the length of the hair, or the facial pro
portions? Oh, no. It is by the disposition
as well ns by natural affinity, using the
word in the very best sense and not in the
bad sense; and if in the dust our bodv
should perish and lie there forever, and
there should be no resurrection, still the
soul has enough features and the disposi
tion has enough features to muke It dis
tinguishable. I can understand how In
sickness a man will become so delirious that
ho will not know his own friends; but will
we be blnsted with such liittifTrrnble Idiocy,
that, st;i tilling bolide our best friends for nil
eternity we will never guess who they are?
Again, I think one reason whv we ought
to neeont this doctrine Is became we never
in this world have an an opportunity to
give llmnks to limns to nlioin we ore spirit
tidily lnrebtfd. The Joy of lienvou, we are
told, is to bo Inaugurated by a revival of
life's work, These Christian men and
women who have been tolling for Christ,
have they seen f lie lull result afthtdr work?
Oh, no. In the ehureh At Hnmervllle, N,
J., John Vredenburgh preached for a great
many years, lie lelt that his ministry was
n (allure, and others thought so, although
he was a fulthlul minister, preaching the
gospel all the time, Ha died, nnd died
amid discouragements, and went homo to
(Inilt tor no one ever doubted that John
Vredenburgh was a good Christian rnliiUter.
A little while after his death there came
A 0 UK AT AWAKENING
In Somervillc, and one Sabbath 200 inuls
stood up at the Christian altar espousing
the cause ol Christ, uinong them my own
father and mother. And what whs peculiar
in regard to nearly all ol those 200 souls was
that they dated their religious Impressions
from the ministry of John Vredenburgh,
Will that good Christian man beloro tho
throne of God never meet thoio souls
brought to Christ through his Initrumen
talltv? Ob, of course he will know them. I
remember one Sabbath afternoon, borne
down with a sense of my sins and knowing
not uou, i iook up uouaridge's "Klie and
Progress." Oh, what a dark afternoon It
was, and I resd the chapters, and I rend the
prayers, and I tried to make the prayors my
own. Oh, I must sco I'hlllp Doddridge. A
glorious old book he wrotel It Is out of
laihon now.
There Is a mother before the throne of God,
You say her joy Is full. Is It7 You my
there can be uo augmentation of It. Can
not there be? Her son was n wanderer and
a vagabond on the earth when that good
mother died. Ho broke her old heart. She
died leaving him in the wilderness or sin.
She is before the throne of God now. Years
pass and that son repents of his crimes and
gives his heart to God and becomes a Chris
tlan, nnd dies and enters the gates of heaven.
You tell me thut that mother's joy cannot
bo augmented. Let them confront each
other. The son and the mother. "Oh,"
she says to the angels of God, "rejoice with
mel The dead is alive again, and the lost is
lounu. iioiieiujaui x never expected to
see this lost one come back."
' The Bible cays nations are to be born in
a day. When China comes to God will it
not know Dr. Abeel? When India comes
will it not know Dr. John Scudder? When
the Indiaus come to God will they not know
David Brainard?
I seen soul entering heaven at last, with
covered face at the idea that it has done so
little for Christ, and feeling borne down
with unwortbiness, and it savs to itel "T
have no right to be here." A voice from a
throne says, "Ob. you forget that Sunday
school class you invited to Christl I was
one ot them." And another voice says
"You forget that poor man to whom you
gave a loat of bread, and told of the heavenly
bread. I was that man." And another
says, ''You forget that sick one to whom you
gave medicine for the body and the soul. I
was that one." And then Cnnsc, from a
throne overtopping all the rest, will say,
"Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least
of these, you did it tome." And then the
seraphs will take their harps from the side
of the throne, and cry, "What song shall it
bb?" And Christ, bending over the harpers,
shall say, "It shall be the Harvest Homel"
THE THEORY CONFIRMED.
One more reason why I am disposed to ac
cept this doctrine of the future recognition
is that so many in their last hour on earth
have coufirmed this theory. I speak not of
persons who have been delirious in their
last moment and knew not what they were
nbout, but of persons who died in calmness
and placidity, nnd who were not naturally
superstitious. Often the glories of heaven
have struck the dying pillow, and the de
parting man has said he saw nnd beard
those who had gone away from him, How
often it Is In the dying foments parents see
their depnitcd children and children see
their departed pnretittl I came down to the

transported. Aqd so I believe it will be in
the evening of our life. We will come down
to the river of death and give a signal to our
friends on the other shore, and they will
.give a signal back to us, and the boat comes,
and our departed kindred are the oarsmen,
the fires of the setting dav tingcing the tops
of the paddles.
Oh, have you never sat by such a deatb
hed? In that hour you hear the departing
soul cry, "Hark! look!" You hearkened
and you looked. A little child Dining away
because of tho death of its mother, getting
weaker and weaker every day, was taken
into the room where hung the picture of her
mother. She seemed to enjoy looking at it,
and then she was taken away, and after
awhile she died. In the last moment that
wan and wasted little one lifted her hands,
while her face lighted up with the glory of
the next world, and cried out, "Motherl"
Yon tell me she did not see ber mother?
She did. So in my first settlement at Uelle
ville a plain man said to me, "What do you
think I heard last night? I was in the
room where one of my neighbors was dying.
He was a good man, and he said he heard
the angels of God singing before the throne.
I haven't much poetry about me, but I list
ened and I heard them too." Said I, "I
have no doubt of it" Why, we are to be
taken up to heaven at last by ministering
spirits. Who are they to be? souls that
weDt up from Madras, or Autioch, or Jeru
salem? Oh, no, our glorified kindred are
going to troop around us.
PICTUKE OF HEAVEN.
Heaven is not a stately, formal place, as I
sometimes hear it described, a verv frigidity
of splendor, where people stand on cold
formalities and go around about with heavy
crowns of gold on their heads. No, that is
not my idea of heaven. My idea of heaven
is more like this: You are seated in the
evening-tide by the fire place, your whole
family there, or nearly all of them there.
Whiie you are seated talking and enjoying
the evening hour, there is a knock at the
door and the door opens, and there comes in
a brother that has been long absent. He
has been absent for years, you have not seen
him, and no sooner do you make up your
mind that it is certainly he, than you leap
up, and the question is who shall give
bim the first embrace. That is my idea
of heaven a great home circle where tbey
are waiting lor us. Oh will you not
know your mother's voice there? She who
always called you by your first name long
after others had given you the formal "Mis
ter"? You were never anything but James,
or John, or George, or Thomas, or Mary, or
Florence to her. Will you not know your
child's voice? She of the bright eye and
the ruddy cheek, and the quiet step, who
came in irom play and flung herself into
your lap, a very shower of mirth and beau
ty? Why, the picture is graven in your
soul. It cannot wear out. If that little
one-should stand on the other side of some
heavenlv hill and call to yon, you would
hear her voice above the burst ot heaven's
great orchestra. Know it? You could not
help but know it.
.Now I bring you this glorious consolation
of future recognition. If you could get
ths theory into your heart'it would lift a
creat manv shadows that are stretching
across it. When I was a lad I used to go
out to the railroad track and put my ear
down on the track, and I could hear the ex
press train rumbling miles away, and com
ing on; and to-day, my friend, if we only
had faith enough we cduld put our ear
down to the grave of our dead, and listen
and hear in the distance the rumuling nn
of the chariots of resurrection victory. Oh
heaven I Sweet heaven 1 You do not spell
heaven as you used to spell It. You used to
spell it h-e-a-v-e-n, heaven. But now when
vouwantto spell that word you place side
by side the faces of the loved ones who are
gone, and in that irradiation of light and
love, and beauty and joy,',you spell It out as
never before, in songs ana hallelujahs.

earth we say, "Let him down in the ground."
In heaven they say, "Raise him on the
throne." On earth it is, "Farewell, fare.
well." In heaven it is, "welcome, wel
come." And so I see a Christian soul coming
down to the river of death, and he steps into
the river, and the water comes to the ankle.
He says, "Lord Jesus, Is this death?"
"No," says Christ, "this is not death."
And he wades still deeper down Into the
waters until the flood comes to the knee, and
he says, "Lard Jesus, tell me, tell me, is
this death?" And Christ says, "No, no.
this is not death." And he wades still
further down until the wave comes to the
girdle, and the soul savs, "Lord Jesus, is
this -death?" "No," says Christ, "this is
not." And deeper in wades the soul till
the billow strikes the lip, and the departing
one cries, "Lord Jesus, is this death."
"No," says Christ, "this 1b not." But when
Christ has lifted that soul on a throne of
glory, and the pomp and joy of heaven came
surging to its leet, then Christ said. "This,
oh! transported soul! This is death."

TRADE IN PRODUCE.
Demand for Vegetables During the
Week Ahead of the Supply.
THE COMMISSION MEN UNEASY.
Held of Earl v Potatoes Much Below General
Lxpectatlons.
ILL CEEEAL8 AKE TENDING UPWARD
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch,
Satubdat, July 12, 1890.
The feature of produce trade the past
week has been the scarcity of stuff. Com
mission men find themselves in the un
happy condition of not being able to deliver
the goods ordered Dy customers. Kailroad
troubles westward have served to delay
shipments. When the blockade is broken,
as it promises to be within a few days, a
rush of stuff is, expected. But demand will
no doubt keep pace with supply, as it will
take an extra quantity to bring stock up to
the average in volume.
Demand for good potatoes far exceeds
supply. Said one of our principal jobbers
in this line: "I have been entirely out of
potatoes for two or three days and spent $5
to 510 telegraphing, yesterday to various
points of the country in order to secure
stock. My advices from all directions are
that the supply is very light. The Tennes
see crop is nearly done, and advices from
Kentucky and Missouri indicate a very
short supply. A telegram from a St. Louis
dealer to one of our jobbers to-day says,
that the early potato crop in that section is
a flat failure."
Said one of our leading produce men to
day: "I cannot see where we are to get our
supplies of potatoes until the fall crop
comes. We had so much wet weather this
season that the early potito went mostly to
vines. There is a good prospect at this
stage for the late potato, but a long dry
spell would blight this prospect. I have
now a half dozen car loads tied up by the
railroad blockade in the West, and have
been absolutely bare for several days. The
only drawoack to a big traae this week has
been scarcity of stuff. I could have sold a
dozen car loads of potatoes the past two days
if I had been able to get them. As it is, I
have been forced to turn my customers
away. This would have been one of thebest
weeks of the year for fruits and veeetables
of all kinds if there had been a sufficiency
on the market."
Dairy Products Active.
The week shows improved demand all
along the line of country produce. Cream
ery butter and Ohio cheese are in good de
mand and prospects are that there will be
an advance before another week passes.
The July make will be coming to the front
by another week and both qualitv and price
ure expected to advance. Another feature
of the week's trade has been the great
scarcity of fresh eggs. Sales of single cases
were reported to-day at 18c per dozen. The
berry season promises to be unusually
short. The homegrown crop of raspberries
is now at its best but supply has not been
equal to demand this week and prices have
been moving upward.
The first roasting ears of the season were
on hand in Diamond markets to-dav. About
70 baskets were from Neville Island, which
is usually at the front in this line. All
offered were promptly taken nt (2 a bushel
basket. A Neville Island gardener reports
thut tho roasting ear crop on tho Island will
uot be up to average In quality nnd quantity

In the cereal line the features of the past
week have been the sharp advance An corn
and oats. Notwithstanding the heavy re
ceipts of oU. the total for the week being 68
car loaili, markois have been atendlly ad
vancing nil tho week, and to-duy are very
firm nt the higher levol of price rencheil,
It will be teen by reference to the doineitla
market column that corn has been advnnoed
since previous report. A leading dealer In
grain predicts that our corn will be worth a
hair dollar per bushel within a few diya.
Bales nf Nn, 3 white nt Plo on call toimy
ihow that markets are Improving lu tlili
line,
IN our jobbers havo grown firmer In their
views and there Is no longer any cutting at
quotations as tbero has been for a lew weeks
putt, One of our Jobbers was notified by
Northwestern millers within a day or two
thut spring patents were advanced by them
'So per barrel. It looks to be only a ques
tion of a short time when prices of flour
must be elevated.
In general groeory lines the changes for
tha week hare been few. Canned fruits
and sugars nre tho strong features of tho
markets. Both promise to go up higher
within a few days. Tho Jobbing grocery
trade ii unusually active for midsummer.
July's record In all Jobbing lines has been
fully up to cxpeotatlon, and will more than
compare favorably with the corresponding
period of last year,

almost complete recovery from the depression.
It has boon carefully handled.
Other features woro scarce, brokers being
unwilling to unmask their batteries at tho

zens' Traoilon appreciated a trlflo, but Contral,
Pleasant Valley and Luster submitted to slight
ooncesslons.
The bank list was less spotted with figures
than usual on Saturday, when a good deal of
tho bidding Is to nuke quotations, hut every
thing was firm. Only three of tho insurance

a good run of business this season, enabling

Midsummer dullness has not struck Pitts

money market Saturday. It was fairly active
and easy for discounts, while depositing was
almost up to the best pitch of tho season, Indi
cating a liberal movement in seasonable lines
of trade. Some halting was remarked in a few
of the special branches, owlne to tariff uncer

Country Prodnct Jobblnc Prices.
The feature of markets to-day was the
scarcity of stuff. Transactions were light for
the good and sufficient reason that commission
men bad little to sell. Berries were scarce and
Arm at advanced prices. Supply of potatoes
fell far short of demand and prices are higher
as our quotations will disclose. A number of
our leading commission men are clear out of
stock, owing to railroad strikes in the West.
Esgs are very scarce and prices are ' higher and
very firm at the advance. Choice creamery
butter and Ohio cheese of good quality are also
firmer than they have been for a few weeks
past. Commission houses are unusually bare
of stuff, and while larger supplies are looked
for next week, there Is little doubt that demand
will be good for all that comes.

Captain El wood reported iu behalf of tho com
mittee, appointed to wait on the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company officials, that the company
refused to secede from the rule that no coods
should be delivered to the consignee without
presentation of a bill of lading. It seems that
the company has lost heavily heretofore by de
parting from this rule, and henco tho resolu
tion to make no exceptions. The Grain Ex
cnange resolved to lsue a special circular
notifying shippers that they must pay dam
ago In case bills of lading do nut conio with the
stuff.

Speculation Slow In Wall Street, But no
Slens of Wesknui-A Whirl la
Sasrar Reflnerles Tlio Bank
Stnlement All RIsbr.
Netv Yobk. July 12. The stock market to
day was intensely dull, thongh it presented a
firm front throuehout. The dealings In all ex
cept a few specialties, and Sngar Refineries,
however, were confined to the limits of about
per cent. Those stocks which have lately
become prominent for the advances made,
such as Hocking Valley, Mobile and Ohio'and
the Chicago and East Illinois stocks, made
further gains, though only in the case of the
first named was the movement of special im
portance. The entire gain was not retained at
the close In any case.
Sugar Refineries continued to respond to the
proposed scheme to reorganize the trust, with
the belief that the insiders will support the
stock. The buying, however, is largely for the
short account, and Its elimination seems only a
matter of a sbort time. The stock opened un
changed at 7fcW. and rose rapidly on a large
business to 78-s, but reacted to 76 at tha
close, the supply of stock at the high figures
being more than the demand.
The bank statement, awaited with so much
interest, showed a handsome gain in surplus
reserve, which leaves It at about where it was
two weeks ago, but the result had been so
thoroughly discounted that it had no effect
in either the rise or deoression In prices. The
close was very dull and firm at slightly better
flsures than those of the opening. The final
changes are in all cases fractional amounts
only.
Railroad bonds were quiet, with a business of
$524,000, but the market, like that In shares,
failed to develop any feature of interest, and
the final changes are, in all cases, insignificant
fractions.
