THE ETTTSBTJB& DISPATCH, MONDAY; NOVEMBER. 9, 1891
AS ISLE OF YJSKJHS.
Where the Lord Dictated to John the
Book of Revelation.
TBE ARCHIPELAGO OF THE GOSPEL.
I.'cv. Dr. Talmage Describes His Visit to
Cyprus and Fatmos.
THE STIRRIXG STORT OP THE FIRST
TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Brooklyn, Xov. & Br. Talmage is still
preaching on what he saw, confirmatory of
Scriptures, during his tour from the Pyra
mids to the Acropolis. This morning's ser
mon, the fourth of the series, was on the
Islands of the Greek Archipelago. The
Doctor took two texts: Acts xxiil, "When
we had discovered Cyprus we left it on the
left hand;" and Kevelation I.-9, "I, John,
was in the isle that is called Pat-
Goodby, Egypt! Although interesting
and instructive beyond any country in all
the world, excepting the Holy Land, Egypt
was to me somewhat depressing. It was a
post-mortem examination of cities that died
4,000 years ago.
The Sphinx also was to me a stern mon
strosity, a statute carved out of rock of red
granite 02 feet high and about 143 feet long
and having the head of a man and the body
of a lion. AVe sat down in the sand of the
African desert to study it. With a cold
smile it has looked down upon thousands of
years of earthly history.
Ecvpt TVill Have Another Moses.
But Egypt will yet come up to the glow of
of life. The Bible promises it. The miss
ionaries like my friend, good and great Doc
tor Lansing, are sounding a resurrection
trumpet above those slain empires. There
will be pome other Joseph at Memphis.
There wiil be some other Moses on the
banks of the ICile. Goodby, Esypt! This
sermon finds us on the steamer Minerva in
the Grecian Archipelago, the island of the
Xew Testament, and islands Paulinian and
Johannian in their reminiscence. What
Uradshaw's directory is to travelers in Eu
rope, and what the railroad guide is to
travelers in America, the Book of the Acts
in the Bible is to voyagers in the Grecian,
or as I shall call it, the Gospel Archipelago.
The Biple geography of that region is ac
curate. itliout a shadow ot mistake.
We are sailing this morning on the same
waters that Paul sailed but in the opposite
direction to that which Paul voyaged. He
was sailing Southward and we "Xorthward.
With him it was :Ephesus, Coos, Rhodes,
Cyprus. With us it is reversed and it is:
Cyprus, Rhodes, Coos, Ephcsus. There is
no book in the world so accurate as the
Divine Book. My text says that Paul left
Cyprus on the left; we going in the opposite
direction, have it on the right.
Ministers, Too, Are Unman.
When at Antioch Paul and Barnabas got
into a ficht as ministers sometimes did,
cud sometimes do, for they all have im
perfections enough to anchor them to this
world till their work is done, I say when
because of that bitter controversy Paul and
Barnabas parted, Barnabas came back here
to Cyprus which was his birthplace. Island
wonderful for history! It has been the
prize sometime won by Persia, by Greece,
ay Egypt, bv the Saracens, by the Crusaders,
and last of all, not by sword but by pen, and
that the pen of the keenest diplomatist of
the century, Lord Beaconsfield.
That island of Cyprus has enongh to set
an antiquarian wild. The most of its glory
is the glory of the past, and the typhoid
levers tliat swept its coast and the clouds of
locusts that often blacken its skies (though
5200,000 were expended by the British Em
pirein one year lor the extirpation of these
noxious insects vet failinsr to do the work1)
and the frequent changes" of governmental
masters, hinder prosperity.
But when the islands of the sea come. to
God, Cyprus will come with them. Why
is the world so stupid that it cannot see that
nations are prospered in temporal things in
proportion as they arc prospered in religious
things.
Great Praise for Rrooklyn.
Why is Brooklyn one of the queen cities
of the earth? Because it is the queen city
of churches. Blindfold me and lead me
into any city of the earth so that I cannot
see a street or a warehouse or a home and
then lead me into the churches and then re
move the bandage from my eyes and I will
tell you from what I see inside the conse
crated walls, having seen nothing outside,
what is that city's merchandise, its litera
ture, its schools, its printing presses, its
covernment, its homes, its arts, its sciences,
its prosperity, or its depression, and ignor-,
ance, and pauperism, and outlawry. The
altar of God in the church is the high-water
mark of the world's happiness.
But here 1 was alouc on ship's deck in
the Gospel Archipelago and do you wonder
that the sea was populous with the past and
that down the ratlines Bible memories de
scended? Our lriends had all gone to their
berths.
'Captain," said T. "when will we arrive
at the Island of lihodes?"
Looking out from under his glazed cap
he responded in sepulchral voice: "About
midnight." Though it would be keeping
unreasonable hours, I conclnded to stav on
deck, for I must ec Bhodes, one of" the
islamic associated with the name of the
greatet missionary the world ever saw or
ever will see.
An Island With a Illstory.
T!;i island has a wonderful history. With
t,wo Kiiignts oi hL John it at onetime
t;ood out against 200.000 warriors under
"Solyman the Magnificent." The city
had o.OCO statues, and a statue to Apollo
called Collosus, which has always since
been considered one of the seven "wonders
of the world.
It is to me an infinite pathos this Colos
sus not only of Bhodes, but the colossi in
many parts of the earth. This is only the
world's blind reaching up and feeling "after
God. Foundered human nature must have
a supernatural arm to help it ashore. All
the statues and images of heathendom are
attempts to brine celestial forces down into
human affairs. Blessed be our ears that we
have heard of an ever-present God, and
that through Jesus Christ he comes into our
hearts and our homes, and with more than
fatherly and motherly interest and affec
tion he is t ith us in all our struggles and
bereavements and vicissitudes.
A we move on up through this Archi
pelago, I am reminded of what an import
ant part the islands have taken in the his
tory of the world. They are necessary to
the balancing of the planet. The two hem
ispheres must have them.
The King of the Archipelago.
But there is one island that I longed to
see more than any other. I can afford to
miss the princes among the islands, but I
must see the king of the Archipelago. The
one I longed to see is not so many miles in
circumference as Cyprus or Crete or Paros
or Xaxos or Scio or Mitylene, but I had
rather, in this sail through the Grecian
Archipelago, see that than all the others;
for more of the glories of heaven landed
there than on all the islands aud continents
fincc the world stood. As we come toward
it I feel my pulses quicken. "I, John, was
in tlic.island that is called Patmos."
It is a pile of rocks 28 miles in circumfer
ence. A few cypresses and inferior olives
pump a living out of the earth, and one
palm tree spreads its foliage. But the bar
renness ana gloom and loneliness of the
island made it a prison for the banished
evangelist. One day, under armed guard,
that minister of thegospel stepped from a
toMn boat to these dismal rocks and
walked up to the dismal cavern which was
to be his home. Is it not remarkable that
nearly all the great revelations of music and
poetryand religion have been made to men
in banishment Homer and Milton banished
into blindness.
Tatmoa Salted for Kevelation.
Only those who have been imprisoned by
very hard surroundings have had gTeat rev
elations made to them. So Patmos, wild,
chill and bleak and terrible was the best
island in all the Archipelago, the best place
in all the earth for divine revelations. Be
fore a panoroma can be successfully seen,
the room in which you sit must be dark
ened and in the presence of John was to
pass such a panorama as no man ever before
saw or ever will sec in this" world, and
hence the gloom of his surroundings was a
help rather than a hindrance.
All the surroundings of the place affected
St, John's imagery when he speaks of
heaven. St. John," hungry from enforced
abstinence, or having no food except that at
which his appetite revolted, thinks of
heaven; and as the famished man is apt to
dream of bountiful tables covered with lux
uries, so St John says of the inhabitants of
heaven, "They shall hunger no more."
Scarcity of fresh water on Patmos and the
hot tongue of St. John's thirst leads him to
admire heaven as he says, "They shall
thirst no more." St. John hears the waves
of the sea wildly dashing against the rocks
aud each wave has a voice and all the waves
together make a chorus, and he says, "They
are like the voice of many waters."
A Panorama of Rright Visions.
Turn down all the lights that we may
better see it. The panorama passes, and lo!
the conquering Christ, robed, girdled,
armed, the flash of golden candlesticks and
seven stars in His right hand, candlesticks
and stars meaning light held up, and light
scattered. And there passes a throne and
Christ on it. and the seals broken, and the
woes sounded, and a dragon slain, and seven
last plagues swoop, and seven vials are
poured out, and the vision vanishes. And
we halt a moment to rest from the exciting
spectacle.
Again the panorama moves on before the
cavern of Patmos, and John the exile sees
a great city representing all abominations,
Babylon towered, palaced, templed, foun-
tained. foliaged, sculptured, hanging-gardens,
suddenly going crash! while from
above and beneath are voices announcing
"Babylon is fallen, is fallen!" And we
halt again to rest from the spectacle.
Again the panorama passes before the
cavern of Patmos, and John the exile sees
a mounted Christ on a snow-white charger
leading forth the cavalry of heaven, the
long line of white chargers galloping
throneh the scene, the clattering of hoofs,
the clinking of bridle-bits, and the flash of
spear-, all the earth conquered and all
heaven in Doxology. And we halt again
to rest from the spectacle.
Tho Revelation of the Liwt Day.
Again the panorama passes before the
cavern of Patmos, and John the exile sees
great thrones lifted, thrones of martyrs,
thrones of apostles, thrones of prophets,
thrones of patriarchs, and a throne higher
than all on which Jesus sits, and ponderous
books are opened, their leaves turned over,
revealing the names of all that have ever
lived, the good and the bad, the renowned
and the humble, the mighty and the weak,
aud at tho turn of every leaf the universe is
in rapture or fright, and the sea empties its
sarcophagus of all the dead of the sunken
shipping, and the earth gives way and the
heavens vanish. Again we rest a moment
from the spectacle.
The panorama moves on before the cavern
of Patmos, and John the exile beholds a
city of gold, and a river more beautiful than
the Ithine or the Hudson rolls through it,
and fruit trees bend their burdens on either
bank, and all is surrounded by walls in
which the upholstery of autumnal forests,
and the sunrise and sunsets of all the ages,
and the glory of burning worlds seem to be
commingled. And the inhabitants never
breathe a sigh, or utter a groan, or discuss
a difference, or frown a dislike, or weep a
tear. The fashion they weaHs pure white,
and their foreheads are encircled by gar
lands, and they who were s.ck are well, and
they who were old are young, and they who
were bereft are reunited.
A Similar Vision Awaits Us.
My friends, I would not wonder if you
should have a very similar vision after
awhile. You will be through this world.its
cares and fatigues and struggles, and if you
have served the Lord and have done "the
best vou could, I should not wonder if your
dying bed were a Patmos. It often has been
so.
I wasreading of adyincr boy who, while
(he family stood sorrowfiuly round expect
ing that each breath would be his last.cried:
"Open the gates! Open the gates! Happy!
Happy! Happy!" John Owen in his last
hour said to his attendant, "Oh, brother
Payne! the long wished for day is come at
last!" Butherlord, in the closing moment
of his life cried out, "I shall shine, I shall
see Him as He is, and all the lair company
with Him,and shall have my large share. 1
have gotten the victory. Christ is holding
ing forth His arms to embrace me. Xow I
fiel! iCow lenjoy! Now I rejoice! I feed
on manna. I have angels' food. My eyes
will tee my Redeemer. Glory, glory dwell
eth in Immanuel's land."
Yes, ten thousand times in the history of
the world has the dying bed been made a
Patmos. You see the time will come when
you will, O child of God, be exiled to your
last sickness as much as John was exiled to
Patmos. Yoa will go into your room not to
come out again, for God is going to do some
thing better and grander and happier foryou
than He has ever yet dons.
The First Glimpses of the Hereafter.
There will be such visions let down to
your pillow as God gives no man it he is
ever to return to this time world. The ap
parent feeling of uneasiness and restlessness
at the time of the Christian's departure, the
pnysicians say, is caused ny no real distress.
It is an unconscious and involuntary move
ment, and I think in many cases it is the
vision of heavenly cladness too great for
mortal endurance. It is only heaven break
ing in on the departing spirit.
Ycu see your work will be done and the
time for your departure will be at hand, and
there will be wings over and wings under
you, and songs let loose on the air, and your
old father and mother gone for years "will
de-cend into the room, and your little chil
dren whom you put away for the last sleep
years ago will be at your side, and their
kiss will be on your foreheads, and you will
see gardens in lull bloom, and the swinging
open of shining gates, and will hear" voices
long ago huthed. In many a Christian de
parture that yon have known and I have
known there was in the phraseology of the
departing ones something that indicated the
reappearance of those long deceased. It is
no delirium, no delusion, but a supernal
fact.
HOME SECURITIES AND CASH.
Local Sellers and Ilnyers Still Pursuing a
Micowber Policy.
The week on "Change, If not the dnllest,
was certainly one of the dullest of the year.
Total sales were a little over 500 shares.
Perhups the election was responsible for the
apathy. The only transaction yesterday
was that of 5 shares of Third Xational Bank
at 130. an advance of $5 during the week.
Closing prices of the active stocks, as com
pared with those ot tho previous Saturday,
show the following cbanses: Third Xational
Bank eaincd 85: Chartiers Gas , Wheeling
Gas IX, Citizens' Traction , PittuburgTrac
tion 1, and Switch and signal x Manufac
turers' Gas lost K. Philadelphia . Central
Traction . rieasiint Valley' J, and Luster
. Airbrake was offered down 2. Electric
was weak and neglected. There appears to
be a hitch in the reoganizatton scheme.
Bankers were entirely satUfled with tho
business of the week. They would
not have objected to a larger line
of discounts, but felt confident thev
would tKn havo employment for all
their idle funds. At the last moment news
reached the city of the suspension of the
Corry National Hank. Having no cor
respondent here, Its failure can have no ma.
terial effect upon local business. Conditions
are too sound to be unsettled by an occa
sional misfit on the outside.
Clearine House business showed a small
falling off from that of the previous week,
clearly due to the election, w hlch was prac
tically a holiday. Tho call for loans devel
oped a broadening tendency, and routine
lines were well up. There was probably an
accumulation of funds, but with the holiday
keason at hand, always a time or great
activity, and a number of new enterprises
in prospect, this is by no means an unfavor
able I euture. The figures for the day and

FEATURES OF TRADE.
The Rnsiness of This Week Not Up
to Last Week in Volume.
DAIRY PRODUCTS GOING LOWER.
The Markets for Enffllides Are Very Mnch
Demoralized.
BOSTON TIEW OP LEATHER OUTLOOK
Office op Pittsbuho Dispatch,
Saturday, Nov. 7. J
Volume of trade for the week past has
been less than the previous week. The
election occupied attention during the first
half of the week to the. detriment of busi
ness, and the latter half of the week gave
no signs of revival. Among the marked
features of trade has been the drop in
creamery butter. A month ago supply in
this line was not equal to demand, and
prices advanced until butter became a
luxury too steep in price for the purse of
the average consumer. As a result oleo came
to the front, and the genuine article drifted
back until prices are fully Sc per pound
below the highest point. As Thanksgiving
times draw near snpply.of poultry andgamo
Js on the increase, and tendency of prices is
downward. It is evident that our Thanks
giving turkey Is to bo less expensive this
season than for some years past. In fruit
lines we note a decline in quality and a di
minishing demand. Th grapes and bananas
offered of late are for the most part frosted,
and are, therefore, bard to sell. With the
depreciation In quality of grapes comes
a better demand for apples. A week
ago our markets were glutted with
potatoes, and prices touched the lowest point
of the season. Reoeipts have of late fallen
ou, and markets in this lino are a shade
firmer. In cereal lines we note a steady Im
provement in most lines. Old corn and" opts
arc firm at advancing prices. Xew corn is
coming in freely and prices are weaker.
Other cereals are steady. By reference to
domestic market column it will be seen that
provisions are tending to a lower level.
Light Hides Weak.
The market for buff hides has not for
years been more demoralized than it Is at
the present time. Tlio reduction last week
of Jo per pound has been more than Justi
fied by erenta. At the decline markets are
very dull, with the situation In buyers'
favor. It is doubtful If light hides have
been sold here at any time in the history of
the trade as low as right now. Steer hides
are fairly steady at tho former quotations,
as are calf and kip skins. Tho time Is at
hand when heavy hides, according to pre
cedent, will come In freely, and there is a
general expectation among dealers of a
drop. For a month or two past supply of
steer hides has been short of demand, and
hence markets havo been strong.

Trade is not up to what it was a year ago.
The movement Is not sufficiently free to

. Footwear Trade.
The situation In lines of boots and shoes is
littlo'dlfferent from what it wns a week ago.
Tho Boston JIerald,in its trade column, has
this to say of the situation and outlook:
"It has been a very quiet week with boot
and shoe manufacturers. Election and the
excitement connected therewith has de
tracted a good deal from the Interest that
might have been expected in boots and shoes
on tho commencement of fall weather; but,
now that election Is over, It is expected that
there Is to be a good business. Fortu
nately, the reoent trouble in, banking affairs
does not strike tho boot ana shoe trade
except indirectly. Indeed, it may be noted
that the trade is In excellent condition
financially, having made successful collec
tions on the goods of the pnst season, and
not feeling any particnlar pressure from
paper duo. But it is a fact that tho Jobbers
are buying very conservatively, thouirh with
the feclinjr that goods are to be wanted in
full volume as 'the season progresses. They
say that the retail trade is not fully satis
factory, though there has been a change lor
the better sinco cold weather. Bat in somo
sections of the country there is a complaint
of a light retail trade. This is accounted for
by tne putting or too much money into
Bhort-time endowment societies and other
schemes for making money so rapidly. The
poorer classes of peoplo, having paid their
money into these schemes, are now in wnnt
of that very money to buy the necessaries
of life, among which necessaries boots and
shoes stand in the front ranks.
"But a good trade Is coming later. Manu
facturers are cettinsr orders in snrinr poods.
after a moderate figure, and they are getting
ready to commence soon the making of such
goods, though the taking of stocks Is very
likely to hinder the factories somo days."

MARKETS BY WIRE.
CHICAGO Wheat to-day presented a sharp
contrast to the feeling dominant at the close
last night, aud was as weak as it was strong
then. The bearish influence was the re
ported rains in the winter wheat country.
Higher cables and tho Immense purchases
of cereals yesterday for . export, even an ad
ditional 3-marksriso in wheat and rye,cabled
from Berlin this morning, and which was
received here while the break in prices here
was only at its commencement, had not the
slightest Influence in arresting tho decline.

Country Produce (jobbing prices)
Trade in this line is quiet, as it has been
all the week. In the line of dairy products
only the best goods find ready'sale. Choice
grades of cheese are firm at quotations.
Poultry is still in liberal supply and mar
kets are slow. Strictly fresh eggs are good
stock at outside quotations. Domestic
fruits are in diminishing supply and qual
ity is also on the decline. There are few
choice grapes on the market. Such as are
offered show the effect of frosts and are
"not wanted either by commission men or
consumers. Bananas are also coming
mostly of late in a frosted condition and
prices are merely nominal. "With the wane
ot varieties in fruit and vegetable lines the
old reliables, namely, apples and potatoes
are in improved demand, and tone of market
has gained in strength within the past few
days.

Operations Masked Under Heavy Hammer
ing Selling on the Certainty of a Bad
Bank Statement The Drain of Funds
for Boston Shares Higher.
Xew York, Xov. 7. The stock market to
day showed some of its old-time activity,
but was feverish and unsettled from' the
opening to the close, with great irregularity
In tne movements, and the final changes aro
insignificant In almost all cases. The feat
ure of the trading was the heavy demand
from the shorts, nnd the urgency of the buy
ing was seen in the unusual activity and the
manipulation having for its object the accu
mulation of stock without advancing prices.
The hammering continued in somo por
tions of the list to mask the covering la
other parts, nnd the old tactics of abandon
ing the effort to cover when it becamo evi
dent that the movement wa3 advancing
prices too rapidly, with a return to tho ham
mering at the close, were resorted to. The
recent selling, based on the almost absolute
certainty of a bad bank statement to-day,
had its conclusion to-day, and while the de
crease in reserves was material, it was seen
to be largely duo to an expansion of loans,
which it Is evident went to support the situ
ation In Boston. The banks, however, are
still In very good condition, and while the
statement was made up on falling averages
It is probable that there is still plenty of
room for a f nrtber expansion.
The opening was lower and Jersey Central
was off 1K'K. but the heavy demand lm-me-liatcly
tnrned the course of prices and
the upward movement carried the figures
up from H to l)i per cent, with tho Coalers
nnd Lackawanna In particular showing
matked strength. The demand slacked
away before the first hour was out, and tho
mnrket thereafter remnined Irregular and
feverish, prices going baok materially in
most cases. Northern Pacific preferred being
most prominent in the decline, dropping
away per cent from its highest figure.
Tho rest of tho list, however, hold moat of
their advances, though at one time lower
prices than those of the opening were
reached in n majority of cases.
There was some improvement in the final
dealings, though the close was still heavy
nnd active at close to the lowest fignres.
Most stocks, however, show gains for the
day and Lackawanna is up i per cent and
Delaware and Hudson'lJ.
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the New York Exchange vesterdav.

Beauty often depends on
plumpness; so does comfort;
so does health. If you get
thin, there is something
wrong, though you may feel
no sign of it.
Thinness itself is a sign ;
sometimes the first sign;
sometimes not.
Thfe way to get back
plumpness is by careful
living, which sometimes in
cludes the use of Scott's
Emulsion of cod-liver oil.
Let us send you free a
little book which throws much
light on all these subjects.
