Dr. Talmajc's discourse to-day Mas occasioned by the Columbus observance now taking place. The subject was: "Half a Planet," the text beinj; Deuteronomy Hi., 27, "Xiift up tLine eyes westward." So God said to Moses in Bible times, and so lie said to Cliristolbro- Colombo, the son of a ool combe? of Genoa, more tliau 400 years aso. The nations had been looking chiefly tcward the East. The sculpture of the voild, the architecture of the world, the laws of the world, the philosophy of the world, the civilization of the world, the re ligion of the world came from the Last. Uut, while Columbus, as his name was called after it was Latinized, stood studying maps and examining globes and leading cos mography, God said to him: "Lift up thine ees toward the west." The fact was it must hare seemed to Columbus a very lop-sided world. Like a cart with one -wheel, liSen scissors with one blade, like a sack on ont side of a camel, needing a sack on the other sldo to balance it. Here was a bride of a world with no bridesroom. When God makes a half of anything, le doe- not stop thcio. He makes the other half. We aie all obliged some times to leave thinzs only half done. But God never stops half nay, because IM has the time and the power to go all the way. I do not wonder that Columbus was not tatis fled with halt a world, and to went to work to lind tne other halt. Preparations for a Memorable Voyage. But the world then as now had plenty of Can't-be-Dimes. That ii what keeps individ uals back and cntcrpile back and the Cli inch back, and iialious back Ignomini ous and disgusting and disheartening Can't-be-Dones. But the father of Columbus' wife died, lcaing his widow a largo number of sea chnrts and n..ip, and us if to condemn the slui that dluvrentaxes put upon mothers-in-law, tlio lniiihor-iii-law of Columbus cave him the navigator's materials, out of which lie cipheied Ametica.

On Friday morning at 2 o'clock, just long enough alter Thursday to make it sure that it wu Fudavandso give another blow-at the wotld's idea of unlucky days-on Friday morning, October 12, 1492. a gun from the J'.nta signaled "Land ahead." Then the ships lav to, and the boats were lowered, and Captain Christopher Columbus first btepptd upon the shore. Success Brings Him Adulation. Of course, on liN return, he had regal ob scqule". Tnat Is the way the world tues to atone for its mean treatment of great bene lactors. Many a man has had a line ride to bis grave who, during this lilq, had to walk all the way. 1 w ish lus bones might be moved just once moie, and now that they have come so near to Ameiica as Cuba, they might, duriug the great Columbian 3 ear, be transported to our own shores, whore they belong, and that in the fifth century alter bis decease the Americin continent might build a maus fculentii wortbj nf him who picked this jewel of a hemisphere out of the tea and set it in the crown of the world's gcograpny. liut the bright noonday sun ot that old Fallot's prospetity went down in thickest nl-'ht, and though here and theiea monu ment has been lifted in tits metnorv, and here and there a city called after him. the continent that ho was the meant of found ing was named after another name and no fitting commeinoiation of his work has ueei Iin.posed until nearly 40D jears alter his louy turned to dust. May the imposing demonstration now oeing made in his honor on the Atlantic Coast, and to be made next 3 car in his honor mid-continent, be brilliant enough and tar-resounding enough and Cunstlan enough and magnificent enough to atone for the ue.lect of toiittiriei. W hat mot tmnresses me in all that won dioulile is something I have never heat d Mated, mid that is, that the discovery of Ameiica was a religions discovery and in ti c name of God. Columbus, by the study ft the prophecies and by what Zachariah and Micih and David and Isaiah had said about the "ends of the earth," was persuaded to go out and find the "ends of -the earth," ami he felt himself called by God to carry Christianity to the "ends of the earth." The Religions Future or America. Infidelity has no right here; vagabondism l.as no right here. And as God Is not aot to Jail in any of his undertakings (at any late, I have never heard of His having anything to do w ith a failure), America Is going to be jrospelizcd. Divine influence will yet sweep the continent that will make iniquity drop like slacked lime, and make the most bla tart Infidelity declaro it was only joking w licnit said the Bible was not true, and the v 01 st atheism announce that it always did believe in the God or Nations. Mars has come so near we can see its ca nal', and it lias been hoped that by signals inter awhile we mav communicate ultlt other stais. A I), that will not be possible unlit our worlQ has been reformed nnd eMingelizcd. Itwouldnotdo lorour world i its lost nnd ruined state to have cotmmi 1 ica'ion with otLcr worlds. It would spoil their morals. That gteit Italian navigator also impresses Ji'o with the idea that when one dors a good thing ho cannot appreciate its ramifications. la the moment of his death, Columbus never knew that he had discovered Amer ica, but tho'ufih; that Cuba was a p.utof Asia. Can a man who preacnes a eeruion or a woman whotiistiibuiestracts;ora teacher who instructs a class, or a passer-by who utters encout using words, realize the infin itudes o! UBeful result? While studying the life of this Italian navigator. I am also reminded of the fact ihat while we are alligently looking for one thing, wo find another. Columbus started 10 find India, but lound America. Go on and do jour duty diligently and prayerfully, und ir you do not find what you looked tor, 3011 will find something better.
