MEETING AT THE ANCIENT WELL. The Flocks of nearen to Gather at Waters of Eternal Life. the A ADDKESS TO FARMERS AT A FAIR TSPrCIAL TELTCKAM TO THE DISrATCII.) Elmiea, X. Y., Sept 6. Dr. Talmage preached here to-day to the immense multi tude who lxad come to attend the New, York and Pennsylvania Exposition, which i being held here September 1 to Septem ber 9. It is a combined exposition of cat tle, sheep, hore and valuable stock of all kinds from the two States. The sermon was preached on the fair grounds to a great audience of farmers, horseman, drovers and Btockraiscrs from near and far, as well as citizens lrom the adjacent cities. Secretary Stanley, of the Young Men's Christian As sociation of Klmini, presided. Dr. Tal- imjc'i text was Genesis xxix, 8 : "And they said, we cannot, until all the flocks be gath ered together, anc' till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." There are some reasons why it is appropri ate that I should accept the invitation to preach at this jrre.it Inter-State Fair, and to thcte throngs of countrymen and citizens, horsemen just come fibm their line charg er, the king of beasts, fori take the crown lrom the lion and put it on the brow of the horse, Inch is in evcrv way nobler, and Enoak to these lienlierds jut come from their liock the Lord Hini'-clt in one place is called a Shepherd ami in another place culled a Lamb, and all the good are sheep and preach to you cattle-men come up from tlio herds Vonr occupation honored by the lact that Clod Himself thinks it "worthy of immortal n-cord that he owns the cattle on a thousand hills." It is appropriate that I come because I was a fanner's boy, and never saw a city until I was nearly grown, and having been born in the country I never got over it. and would not dwell in cities a day if my work was not appointed there. 3I love to you now, and when I get through I will give you mvhand, for though I have fn- summer shaken hands with perhaps 40,000 people in 21 States of the Cnion. all the way through to Col orado and North and south, I w ill not con clude my summer vacation till I havo Mtaken hands with j ou. Yon old farmer out there: How you make me think of my f.ither: ou eldeily woman out there with cap and Spectacles: How you make me think of my mother' THE bCKXK A ItnAUTIFUI, PASTORAL. And now.whiletlicnir of these fair gtounds is flllcd with the bleating of sheep and the neighing of horses and the lowing of cattle, I cannot And a more appropriate text than the one I read. It in a scene in Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A well or water of great value in that region. The fields round about it white with three flocks of sheep 1 ing dow n waiting for the w atcring. I hear their bleatiag coming on the blight air and the laughter ol jonug men and maidens in dulging in rnslic repartee. I look off, and I tee otner Jloelc- or sheep coming. Mean while, Jacoii, a. str.mger, on the interesting errand of looking 'or a wife, comes to the well. A beautiful shepherdess comes to the tame well. I sec her approaching, followed by her Jathei's Sock of sheep. It was a memorable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. Tiie Rible account of it is: "Jacob kissed ltachel. and lilted up his voice and wept," It li-i always been a mystervto me what he found to cry about: But beiore that scene occurred, Jacob accosts the shepherds and asks them why they postpone the slaking of the tlurt of these sheep, and w hy thev did iiiiiueuiuieiy jirocecu xo water them The shepherds renl to the ellect: -We urn all good neighbors, and a a matter of cour tesy we w ait until all the sheep of the neigh boihood come up. Besides that, this stone on the welfs mouth is somewhat heavy, and several or us take hold of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and troughs are lilted and the sheep are satisfied We can not, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone lrom the well's mouth: then we water the sheep." .Vow , a great flock of sheen to-daj- gather around the gospel well. There are a great many thirsty souls. I wonder why the flocks ot all nations do not gather why so manv stay thirsty; and while I am wondering about it nij text breaks forth in the expla nation, saying: "We cannot until all the flocks bo gatheicd together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then w e water the sheep." THE SHEEP ALWAYS PEACEFUL. If a herd of swine come to a well they an grily jostle each other forthe precedence: it a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when the flock of sheep come, though a hundred of them shall be disappointed, they only ex press it by sad bleating, they come together peacefully. We wantagrea't multitude to come around the Gospel well. I know there are tho-e who do not like a crowd they think a ciowd is vulgar. If they are op pressed foi room in chuich it makes them positnely impatient and belligere it. Not to did these Oriental fhenhordo Timr, waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more flocks that came, the better they liked it. And so w c ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go oiw into the high ways and the hedges and compel them to come in, Go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without the Gospel of Jesus Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there is in C'lnist. Go to the blind and tell them the touch that gives eternai illumina tion. Go to the lame and tell them of the jo that will make the lame man leap like a halt. Gather all the sheep ofl" of all the mountains. None so torn of the dogs, none sos,ck, none so worried, none so dying, as to bcomittcd. When the fall clectiohscome the whole land is scoured for voters, and if a man is too weak or sick to walk to the polls a carriage is sent for him; but when the question is whether Christ or the devil shall rule this world, how few there are to come out to seek the sick, and the lost, and the suffering, and the bereft, and the lame, and induce their suffrages for the Lord Jesus. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter all the invitations: "Whoso ever will let him come.' Come, white and black. Come, red men of the forest. Come Laplander, out of the snow. Come. Pata gonian, out of the heat. Come in lurs Co.ne panting under palm leaves. Come one. Come all. Come now. As at this well of Mesopotamia. Jacob and Ilachel were be trothed, so now. at this well of salvation, Christ our hepherd w ill meet you coming up with your long flocks of cares and anxieties, and he will stretch out his hand in pledge of his affection, while all heaven will cry out: "Behold, the bridegroom Com eth; go ye out to meet him." THE STONE BEFOKE THE WELT,. You notice that this well of Mesopotamia had a. stone xin it, which must be removed before the sheep could be watered; and I find on the well of salvation todiy impedi ments and obstacles, which must be re moved in order that you may obtain the refreshment and lite or this gospel. In vour case the impediment is pride of heart You cannot bear to come to so democratic a" fountain: you do not want to come with so many others. It is to you like w hen you aro drv coming to a town duiiid. as enmr,nvnrt to slttmgin a parlor sipping out of a chased chalice which has Just been lifted from a silver salver. Xot so many publicans and sinners. You want to get to heaven, but it tnu-t be in a special car, with your feet on a Tuikish ottoman and a band of music on board the train. Y'ou do not want to be in company with rustic Jacob and Ilachel, and to be dunking out of the fountain where 30.000 sheep have been drinking before you. 1 ou will have to come as w e came, willing to take the water of eternal life in any way, and at any hand, and in any kind of pitcher, crj ing out: "O Lord Jesus, I am dying of thirst. Give me the water of eternal life, w hethcr in trough or goblet; give nic the watcrofliie: Icare not in what it comes to inc." Here is another man who is kept back fiom this water of lile by the stone of an ob durate heart, which lies over the mouth of the well. Y'ou havo no more feeling upon this subject than if God had yet to do you the Cut kindness, or you had to do God the first wioug. seated on His lap all these years, His evcilaBting arms sheltering you, where is jour gratitude? Whcro is your morning und evening pravert Whore are your consecrated lives? I "say to you, as Jauicl s.ud to Bclshazrcr: "The God in w hose hands thy In eath is, and all thv wav, thou hat not glorified." Three times'a day ou hav e been seated at God's table. Spring, Miminci, autumn and winter He has appro puately appareled you. Your health from llitii.jtnir companion from Him, vour chil dren from Him, your home Trom Him.

Heart of stone, relent, relent, Touched by Jesus' cross subdued; See His body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore or blood. Sinful soul, what hast thou dono? Crucified the eternal Son. Jacob, with a good deal of tug and push, took the stone from the well's mouth, so that the flocks might be watered. And I would that to-dav my word, blessed God. might rcmovo the hindrances to your get ting up to the Gospel well. Y"ca, I take it for granted that the work is done, and now, like Oriental shepherds, 1 proceed to water the sheep. Come, all ye thirsty! You have an unde fined longing in your soul. Y'ou tried monev making; that (Jid not satisfy you. Y'ou tried office undcrgevemmunt; that didnot satisfy you. Y'ou tried pictures and sculptures, but woi ks of art did not satisfy you. Y'ou are as much discontented with this life as the cele brated French author who lelt that he could not any longer endure the misfortunes of-the world, anil who said: "At four o'clock this afternoon. I shall put an end to my omi ex istence. Meanwhile, I must toil on up to that time for the sustenance of mv lamily." And he wrote on his book until the clock struck four, when he folded up his manu script and, by his own hand, concluded his earthly life. There aro men here who aro perfectly discontented. Unhappy in the past, unhappy to-dav. to be unhappy for ever, unless you come to this gospel well. This satisfies the soul with a high, deep, nll absoibingand eternal satisfaction. in me i.ir tast there was a King wno used once a year to get on a scales, while on the other side the scales were placed gold and silver and gems; indeed, enough were placed there to balance the king; then, at the close of the weighing, all those treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ to day steps on one side the scales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the uni verse.andbesays: "All are yours all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all eter nity; all are yours." THE COMFORT IN PROMISES. We don't appreciate the promises of the Gospel. When an aged clergyman was dying a man very eminent in the church a young theological student stood by his side, and the aged man looked up nnd said to him: "Can't j ou give me some comfort in my dyingJiour? "No," said the young man, "I can't talk to youou this subject; you know all about it, and hare known it so long." "Well;" said the dying man, "Just recite me some promises." The young man thought a moment, and he came to this promise: "The blood of Jesus Christ clean seth from all sin;" and the old man clapped his hands, and ir his dying moment said: 'That's just theproruise.1 have been wait ing lor. 'The blood of Jesus Christ cleansetli from all sin:'" Oh, the warmth, the gran deur, the magnificence of the promises! Compare your views of this life at 15 years of age with what your.viow of it isat40,r CO, or 70. What a great contrast of opinion! Were j ou right then, or are you light now? Tw o cups placed in your hands, the one a sweet cup, the other a sour Cup. A cup of joy and a cup of grief. Which has been the nearest to being lull, nnd out of which have you the mare frequently partaken? What a different place the cemetery is from w hat it used to be. Once it was to you a grand city improvement, and you went out on the pleasure excursion, and you ran laughingly up the mound, and you criticised in a light way the epitaph. But since the uay when you heard the bell toll at the gate as you went in with the procession, it is a sad place, and there is a flood of rushing memories that suffuse the eyeand overmaster the heart. Oh, vou have had trouble, trouble, trouble. God only knows how much you have had. Well, what doyou w ant? Would you like to have your proper ty back again! "So," you say as a Christian man, "I was becoming arrogant, and I think that is why the Lord took it awav. I don't want to have my property back." Well, would you have your departed friends back again? "No," you say, "I couldn't take the responsibility of bringing them from a tear less realm to a rcalmof tears. I couldn't do it." Well, then, "what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: "Comfort, give us comfort," For that reason I have rolled awav the stone from the well's mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, pursued of the wolves come to the fountain whers the Lord's sick and bereft one have come. THE GREAT SORROW OF PARTIKG. "Ah," says some one, "you are not old enough to understand my sorrows. Y'ou have not been in the world as long as I have, and you can't talk to me about my mis fortunes in the time of old age." Well, I have been a great deal among old people, and 1 know how they feel about their failing health, and about their departed friends, and about the loneliness that sometimes strikes through their soul. After two per sons have live-I together for 40 or 50 years, and one of them is taken away, wnat desola tion: I shall not forget tbo cry of the late Key. Dr. Dc Witt, of Sew Y'ork, when he stood by the open grave of his beloved wire, and, alter the obsequies had ended, he looked down into the open place and said: "Farewell. my honored, faithful, and be loved wife. The bond that bound us is severed. Thou art in glory, and I am here oneiuth. We shall meet again. Farewell: Farewell!" To lean on a prop lor 50 years, and then have it break under you! There were only two jears'diflerence be tween the deaths of my father and mother. After my mother's decease my father used to go around as though loolqng for some thing; and ho would often get up from one room, without any seeming reason, and go to another room; and then he would take his cane and start out and someone would say: "Father, where aro you going?" and he would answer: "I don't know exactly where I am going." Always looking for something. Though he was a tender-hearted man, I never saw him cry but once, and that was at the burml of mv mother. After u venrs' living together, it was hard to part. And there are aged people to-day who are feeling just such a pang as that. I want to tell them there i perlect enchantment in the promises of thin gospel ana I come to them and I offer them my arm, or I take their arm and I bring them to this gospel well. Sit dow n, father, or mother, sit down. See if there is anything at the well for you. Come. David, the psalmist, have you any thing encouraging to offer them? "YesV says the psalmist; "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age, they shall be fat and flourishing, to show that the Lord is up right, he is my rock, and there 4s no un righteousness in me." Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies lor these aged people? "Yes." says Isaiah; "down to old age I am with thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry thee." THE LORD NEVER TOEGETS. Well, if the Lord is going to carry you, you ought not to worry much about your failing eyesight and failing limbs. Tou get a little worried tor rear sometime you will come to want, do yon? Y'our children and grandchildren sometimes speak a little sharp at you because of your ailments The Lord will not speak sharp. Do you think you will come to want? Who do you think the Lord 131 Are uis granaries empty? will he feed the raven and the rabbit, and the lion in the desert, and forget you? Why, naturalists tell ut that the porpoise will not forsake its wounded and sick mate. And do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth has not as much sympathy as the flsh of the sea? But you say- "I am so near worn out, nnd I am of no use to God any more." I think the Lord knows whether you are ot any more use or not: if you were of no more use he would have taken you before this. Do you think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of yon 70 or 80 years. He thinks more of you to-day than he ever did, because you think more of Him. But some one says, in the nudieace: "Not withstanding all younavesaid this morning, I find no allevation for my troubles." Well, lam not through yet. I have left the most potent consideration for the last. I am go ing to soothe you with the thought of heaven. However, talkativo we may be, there will come a time when the stoutest nnd most emphatic interrogation will evoke from us no answer. As soon as we have closed our lipsfor the final silence, no power on earth can break that taciturnity. But where, O Christian, will be your spirit? In a scene of infinite gladness. The spiing morning of heaven waving its blossoms in the bright air. Victors fresh from battle showing their scars. The rain of earthly sorrow struck through with the rainbow of eternal joy. In one group, God and angels and the redeemed Paul and Silas, Latimer and Ridley. Isaiah and Jeremiah, Payson and John Hilton, Gabriel and Michael the arch-angel. Ldhg line of choristers reach ing across the hills. Seas of joy dashing to the white beach. Conquerors marching from gate to gate. Y'ou among them. Out or that one deep well of heaven, the Shepherd will dip reunion for the bereaved, wealth for the poor, health for the sick, rest for the weary. And then all tho flock of the Lord's sheep will lie down In the green pastures, and world without end we will praise the Lord that on this first autumnal sabbath of 1891 we were permitted to study among the bleating flocks and lowing herds of this fair ground tho story of Jacob and Ilachel the shepherdess at the well in Meso potamia. Oh, plunge your bucketsMnto this great gospel well and let them come up dripping with that water of which if nmnii dnnk he never again shall thirst. Confirmed.

A TRADE RETROSPECT. Dairy Products and Eggs Steadily Take a Tarn Upward. SUGAR HIGHErl AND COFFEELOWER Heavy Steer Hides Scarce and Firm and Lightweights Weak. BETTER OUTLOOK FOR THE SHOE TRADE Office of PrrrsBrtio Dispatch, ) Saturday, Sept. 5. J In produce lines the marked features of the week past have been the upward ten dency of dairy products and eggs. The lat ter have been relatively lower in this mar ket of late than in Chicago or New York, and the equilibrium has been reached.' Choice grades of creamery butter have been in short supply all the week and prices are tending steadily toward a'higher level. The same is true of all good grades of New York and Ohio cheese. The peach suddIv this week was the largest for years, but demand proved equal to supply lor all good stock, lleceipts for the week were over 100 carloads, and the week closed with very little on hand. Other fruits go slow" and will until the peach crop is worked off. The receipts of bananas on Monday were the largest for any one day in the his tory of tho trade, the total for that daybe-ing-above 20 cai loads. The events of the week past in grocery lines n ere the rise in sugars and drop in coffees. Fruits of all kinds are so abundant and cheap that housewives are evidently making the most of their opportunities by laying up in store for the coming winter. The demand for sugar has been very active, and as a result an advance of Ho per pound has been made this week. The only sur prise as to the coffee drop is that it did not come sooner. The crop of Kio is unusually large and the present decline was due weeks ago. Hides and Calfskins The green hide market is practically as it was a week ago. At all events quotations are unchanged. Heavy hides, however, are reported scarce and Arm, while buff hides and calfskins aro slow and dull. The latter are particularly dull, and all signs point to lower prices. A number of telegrams from Eastern tanners were shown to this editor to-day, the purport of which w ere that they were not in the market on calfskins at pres ent prices. A letter from a leading Boston dealer to one of our leading firms has this to say of the hide situation: "Markets here are still dull. There are rumors of improve ment in the West, hut these improvements are not reflected here. Still there is no pressure to sell at present prices." Appear ances are that prices are down to hard pan on heavy hides. The great aetivlty in this line reported for a week or two past has culminated in a rise of lc per pound all along tne line. Our home tanners report a very active demand for stock as fast as it can be turned out. All heavy stock is in very strong demand, and supply in this line is scarcely up to'demand. The immense crops of the country already begin to tell in tho increased demand for horse equipments, and the end is not yet. With the present activity further advances are probable at an early day. Following are tho prices of harness. leather, as established by the Allegheny tanners: No. 1 trace, 3Sc 3? ft; B trace, 31c j? ft; Xo. 1 extra heavy, 100 lis and over, 00c fl ft; B extra heavy, 31c ft; No. 2 extra heavy, 2e f) ft; Xo. 1 heavy, 1.10 to 160 fts, 32c ft; B heavv, 30c ft: Xo. 2 heavy, 2Sc p ft; black line, 29c P 6.

The trade in boots and shoes which has been in the slough of despond for months past begins to give signs of a revival. At least there Is a better tone and a more hope ful feeling in the trnde. Following Is a view of the situation and outlook from the Boston JTcrald: "There is a slight improvement to note in the position of the boot and shoe market. The feeling is better all round, nnd though there is only a small number of buyers here in person, yet there is an improvement noted in the number and volume of orders coming in by mail and throueh salesmen on the road. There is some looking afterspring goods, with the chances in favor of a better trade. Financially the situation is decidedly improved. Boot and shoe paper is actually being sought after, in some instances, and collections have improved. Confidence is being rapidly restored, nnd under tho pres ent remarkably favorable crop conditions of the country, with the tide of gold already setting back to the United States, it is not predicting too much to say that the chances for a good trade in boots and shoes are very favorable. "Another feature is the fact that the bank rupt stocks ofgoodsare rapidly disappearing from tho market. The sale of the Potter. J ti line: a. axy icj aiuLiL b x aiuiiugiun, .Dl. 11., yesterday, drew out a great crowd of buyers, many of them representing prominent con cerns here, who were there with the deter mination of taking possession of anv goods that were offered under their real value. It is understood that a prominentconcern here was represented at the sale by several buy ers, and hence, if it appears that the goods were widely distributed apparently, such a condition is not at all certain, for these buy ers were all working for the same concern. This stock of goods, some 3,200 cases, is un derstood to be well toward the last of the bankrupt stocks there are to offer." HOME SECURITIES AND CASH. Xearly All the Active Stocks Finish at an Advanco. The week was one of encouragement to nil who dabble in stocks. The strongest card was the shipment of gold to this country, assuring a full and easy money market for h long time to come. Large railroad earnings and expressions of confidence in the future were important factors in strengthening the situation. Final prices as compared with those of the previous of Saturday show the following changes in the active list: Philadelphia Gas gained , Wheeling Gas J, Central Traction i, Xew York and Cleveland Gas Coal V-A, Kiectric 2J, Airbrake 3V. Luster lost and Switch and Signal . It will be seen trom, this that all the changes except two were Improvements. The rest of the list was steady to strong, but barren of features. The unlisted trac tions gave forth no sign of immediate im provement. Until their -environments as sume a better complexion they w ill prob ably drag along at the tail end of tho mar ket. Lawsuits, disputes over right of way, reported losses of operation, and possibility of the absorption of one of them, are re sponsibilities which few investors care to assume. But there is no reason to modify iiiu ujiiuiuii jicicluiuic t3Aiire?ge-u mat tuey will ultimately be the leaders of the market Sales on call for the week were La57 shares, of which 636 were Philadelphia Gas, 477 Electric and 341 Luster, against 1,330 the pre vious week. Saturday's sales were 225 shares of Xew York and Cleveland Gas Coal at 38, 55 Durjuesne Traction at 13, and 130 L.U91CL .lb liyn. The local money market during the week vns easy, with all loans at 67 per cent. While the banks are maintaining a sufficient reserve to meet the larger requirements of trade later in the season, regular customers have no difficulty in securing all the funds they require, nnd in most cases outsiders are accommodated. There is, therefore, as Mr. Clews says, no grounds for-uneasiness, as the imports of gold, which are expected to continue, will be apt to check any tendency toward stringency in money. The rates this year are in marked contrast to the high rates, which ruled a year ago, when call money was quoted at a premium of one-half of 1 per cent per diem and interest equivalent lo 168 per cent per annum.

The stock market to day showed on tho whole a moderate vol ume of business, and while displaying a strong tone during most of the time failed to score material advances in the stocks which have of late been most prominent in the dealing. Other stocks, however, were taken up by the interests identified with them and advanced materially. In these gains the Yanderbilts, Aid especially the low-priced ones, were the features. The hears at the outset endeavored to make more capital out of tne frosts reported last nignt, Dut -tne temper of the room was decidedly bull ish still, and, aided hy liberal pur chases for both foreign and domestic account, the demonstration iii the early dealings was fruitless except in the strong stocks of yesterday, which were retired fractionally lower. The oneninir figures were generally slight fractions better than last night's prices while Reading was up per cent. The mar ket closed active and strong, with most of the list at the highest prices of the day.
