DE. TALMAGFS SERMON. 1 SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: ••Improvement* In Heaven"— Heaven llai Improved In Numbers, Society and Knowledge—A Great Con volution to Good People. TEXT: "And I saw a new heaven."—Eev. xxi., 1. The sterotyped heaven does not make adequate impression upon us. We need the old story told in the new style in order tojarouse our appreciation. Ido not sup pose that we are compelled to the old phraseology. King James's translators did unt exhaust all the good and graphic wordu in the English dictionary. I suppose it we should take the idea of heaven, and translate it into mode;n phrase, we would find that its atmosphere Is n combination of early June and of the Indian summer in October—a place combining the advantages of city and country, the streets standing for the one, and the twelve manner of fruits for the other; a place of musical en tertainment—harpers, pipers, trumpeters, doxologies; a place of wonderful architec ture—behold the temple! n place where there may bo the higher forms of animal life—the beasts which were on earth beaten, lash-whipped, and galled andunblanketed, and worked to death, turned out among the white horses which the Book of Bevela tlon describes as being In heaven; n piaoe of stupendous literature —the books opon; a place of aristocratic and democratic at tractiveness—the kings standing for the one, all nations for the other; all botanical, pomological, ornithological, arborescent, worshipful beauty and grandeur. But my idea now is to speak chiefly of the improved heaven. People sometimes talk of heaven as though it were an old city, finished centuries ago, when I have to tell you that no city on earth, during the last fifty year?, lias bad such changes as heaven. It is not the same place as when Job, and David, and Paul wrote of It. For hundreds and hundreds of years it has been going through peaceful revolution, and year by year, and month by month, and hour by hour, and monlent by moment, it is chang ing, and changing for something better. Away back there was only one residence in the universe—the residence of the Al mighty.' Heaven had not yet been started. Immensity was the park all around about this great residence; but God's sympathetic heart after a while overflowed in other creations, and there came, all through this vast country of immensity, inhabited vil lages, which grew and enlarged until they joined each other, and became one great central metropolis of the universe, streetod, gated, templed, watered, inhabited. One angel went forth with a reed, wo are told, and he measured heaven on one side, and then he went forth and measured heaven on the other side; and then St. John tried to take the census of that city, and ho be eaino so bewildered that he gave it up. That brings me to the llrst thought of my theme—that heaven is vastly improved in numbers. Noting little under this head about the multitude of adults who have gone into glory during tho last hundred, or five hundred, or thousand years, I re membor there are sixteen hundred millions of people in the world, and that the vast majority of people die in infancy. How many children must have gone into heaven during the last five hundred or thousand years. If New York should gather in one generation a million population, if London should gather in one generation four mil lion population, what a vast increase! But what a mere nothing as compared with the five hundred million, the two thousand million, the "multitude that no man can number," that have gone into that city! Of course, all this takes for granted that every child that dies goes as straight into heaven us ever the light sped from a star: and that is one reason why heaven will always be fresh and beuutiful—the great multitude of children in it. Put live hun dred million children in a country, it will be a blessed and lively country. But add to this, if you will, tile great multitude of adults who have gone into glory, and how the census of heaven must run up! Many years ago a clergyman stood In a New England pulpit, ana said that he believed that tho vast majority of tho race would finally be destroyed, and that not more than one person out of two thousand persons would be Anally saved. There happened to be about two thousand people in the village where he preached. Next Sabbath two persons were heard dis cussing the subject, and wondering which one of the two thousand people in the village would finally reach heaven, aud one thought it would be tho minister, and tho other thought It would be the old deacon. Now, I have not much admiration for a life-boat which will go out ton ship sinking with two thousand passengers, und get one off in safety, and let nine teen hundred and ninety-nine goto the bottom. Why, heaven must have been a village when Abel, the first soul from earth, entered it, ns compared with the present population of that great city! Again: I remark that heaven has vastly Improved in knowledge. Give a man forty or fifty years to study one science, or all sciences, with all the advantages of laboratories aud observatories and philo sophic apparatus, he will be a marvel of information. Now, into what intelligence must heaven mount, angelhood and saint hood, not after studying for forty or ilfty yeurs, but for thousands of years—study ing God und the soul and Immortality and the universe! How the intelligence of that world must sweep ou and on, with eyesight fnrther reaching than telescope, with power of calculation mightier than all human mathematics, with powers of analysis surpassing all chemical labor atory, with speed swifter than telegraphy! What must heaven learn, with all these advantages, in a month, in a year, in a eentury, in a millennium? The difference between the highest university on earth and the smallest class in a primary school eannot be a greater difference than heaven as it now is and heaven as it once was. Do you not suppose that when Doctor James Simpson went up from tho hospi tals of Edinburgh into heaven he knew more than ever the science of health; and that Joseph Henry, graduating from the Smithsonian Institution into heaven, awoke into higher realms of philosophy; and that Sir Wiliium Hamilton, lifted to loftier sphere, understood better tho con struction of the human intellect; and that John Milton took up higher poetry in the actual presence of things that on earth ho bad tried to describe? When the first saints entered heaven, they must have studied only the A B C of the full litera ture of wisdom with which they are now acquainted. Again: heaven is vastly improved in its society. During your memory how many exquisite spirits have gon#lnto itl If you should try to make a list of all the genial, loving, gracious, blessed souls that you have known, it would be a very long list— souls that have gone into glory. Now, do you not suppose they have enriched the so ciety? Have they not improved heaven? You tell of what heaven did for them Have they done nothing for heavenf Take all the gracious souls that have gone out of your acquaintanceship, and add to them all the gracious and beautiful souls that for live hundred or a thousand years have gone out of all the cities and all the vil lages, and all the countries of this earth into glory, and how the society of heaven must have been Improved! Suppose Paul, the apostle, were introduced into our so cial circle on earth; but heaven has added all the apostles. Suppose Hannah More and Charlotte Elizabeth were introduced into your social circle on earth; but heaven added all the blessed and the gracious and the holy women of the past ages. Sup pose that Bobert M'Cheyne and John Sum mesfleld should be added to your earthly oircle; tut heaven has gathered up ail the faithful and earnest ministry of the past, there is not a town, or c city, or a village that has so improved in society In the last hundred years as heaven has Improved. Again: I remark that heaven has greatly Improved in the good-oheer of announced victories. Where heaven rejoiced over one soul.it now rejoices over ft hundred or a thousand. In the olden times, when the events of human life were scattered over four or five centuries of longevity, and the world moved slowly, there were not so many stirring events to be reported in heaven; but now, I suppose, 'all the great events of earth are reported in heaven. If there Is any truth plainly taught in this Bible it is that heaven is wrapped up in sympathy with human history, and we look at those Inventions of the day—at telegraphy, at swift communication by steam, at all these modern improvements which seem to give one almost omnipres ence—and we see only the seoular relation: but spirits before the throue look out and see the vast and the eternal relation. While nations rise and fall, while the earth is shaking with revolution, do you not sup pose there is arousing intelligence going up to the throne of God, and that the ques tion is often asked before the throne, "What Is the news from that world—that world that rebelled, but Is coming baok to its allegiance?" If ministering spirits, ac cording to the Bible, are sent forth to minister to those that shall be heirs of heaven, when they come down to us to bless us, do they not take the news back? Do the ships of light that come out of the celestial harbor into tho earthly harbor, laden with cargoes of blessing, go baok unfreighted? Ministering spirits not only, but our loved ones leaving us, take up the tidings. Suppose you were In a far city, and had been there a good while, and you heard that some one had arrived from your native place—some ens who had recently seen your family and friends— you. would rush up to that man, and you would ask all about the old folks at home. And do you not suppose when your child went up to God, your glorified kindred in heaven gathered around and asked about you, to ascertain as to whether you were getting along well in the struggle of life; to And out whether you were In any espe cial peril, that with swift and mighty wing they might come down to Intercept your perils? Oh, yes! Heaven Is a greater place for news than It used to be— news sounded through the streets, news ringing from the towers, news heralded from the palace gate. Glad news! Vic torious news! Now, I say these things about the changes in heaven, about the new improvements in heaven, for three stout reasons. First, bo cause I find that some of you are impa- , tient to be gone. You are tired of this world, and you want to get Into that "rood land about which you have been tliinKing, praying, and talking so many years. Now be patient. I could see why you would want togo to an art gallery if some of the best 1 pictures were to be taken away this week or next week; butifsomoono tells you that i there are other beautiful pictures to come —other Kensctts, Baphuels, and Bubens; other mitsterpieoes to bo added to the gal lery—you would say, "I can afford to wait. The place is improving ail the time." Now, I want you to apply the same principle in this matter of reaching heaven aud leaving this world. Not ono glory Is to be subtracted, but many glories added. Not one angel will be gone, not ono hler- 1 arch gone, not one of your glorified friends gone. By tho long practicing the musio will be better, the proeesslou will be ; longer, the rainbow brighter, the corona tion grander. Heaven, with magnificent addenda! Why will you complain when you are only waiting for something better? Another reason why I speak in regard to the changes in heaven, and tho now im provements in heaven, Is because I th;es ; and banners, and I saw that all heaven was coming baok agalu—com ing to the wall, coming to the gate, and the multitude that went off in the morning was augmented by a vast multitude caught up alive from the earth, and a vast multitude of the resurrected bodies of the Christian dead, leaving the cemeteries and the abbeys and the mauso leums and the graveyards of the earth empty. Procession moving In through the gates. And then I found out that what was fiery Judgment Day ou earth was Jubl'ee In Heaven, and I cried, "Door keepers of heaven, shut the gates; all heaven has come Inl Doorkeepers, shut the twelve gates, lest the sorrows and the woes of earth, like bandits, should some day oome up and try to plunder the City!" A shooting sorape in which John Peek, a negro, was killed occurred at a dance near Atlanta, Ga., a few nights ago. The sister of another negro had been Insulted by Si Pekio, and her brother, Tom Duffle, un able to And Pekin. shot his brother-la-law. A TEMPERANCE COLUMN, THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST IN MANY WAYS. Sart From Moloch'l Fire—How Rum tl Smuggled Into Alaska—The Strict Laws of the United State* Violated— Seventy Vile Saloons In Juneau. List to those In anguish moaning, Bound In Moloch's Are, Can you see, wlh soft hands folded, Loved ones thus expire? Or above the men who bind them— For their blood-stalnod gold- Spread aloft your country's banner, Freedom's aegis hold? Freedom! Oh, what mad perversion! Freedom to enslave! License, rather, to thedeinoc. Of the fiery wave. Blasting all the sweet affections With his breath of hate; Homes that glow with light of Eden, Making desolate. Rouse, ye freeman! Man the engine Ot a mighty law! Let the hearts of evildoers Tremble yet with awe! Not one fainting vietim only- See, u host expire! Thousands are the voices calling: "Save from Moloch's lire!" "Hurl his throne, a burning mountain, To unfathomed sea! Break his iron yoke forever! Let us, too, bo free!" —Temperance Banner. Tlie Liquor Curse In Alaska. One of the least fortunate acts of the United States Congress In regard to Alaska has been the enaction of a most rigid pro hibitory law as to alcoholic liquors, says David Starr Jordan in the Atlantic. This is an iron-clad statute forbidding the im portation, sale, or manufacture of intoxi cants of any sort in Alaska. The primary reason for this act is the desire to protect the Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos from a drug of which they are excessively fond and which destroys them. But a virtuous statute may be the worst kind of law, as was noted long ago by Confucius. This statute has not checked the flow of liquor In Alaska, while it has done more than any other influence to destroy the respect for law. In general, men who "are not in Alaska for their health" are hard drinkers, and liquor they will have. It Is shipped to Alaska as "Florida water," /'Jamaica gin ger," "bay rum." Demijohns are placed n the centre of flour barrels, sugar barrels, in any package which may contain them. With all this, there is a vast amount of out right smuggling which the Treasury De pa:tment tries in vain to check. All south eastern Alaska is one vast harbor, with thousands of densely wooded islands, most ly uninhabited. Cargoes of liquors can be safely hidden almost anywhere, to be re moved piece by piece in smaller boats. Many such c irgoe3 have been seized and destroyed, but the risk of capture merely serves to raise the price of liquor. Onco on shore tho liquor is safe enough. Up wards of seventy saloons are running open ly in Juneau, and perhaps forty in Sitka. Most of these houses are the lowest of their kind, because, being outlaws to begin with, tho ordinary restraints of law and order have no effect on them. Cause! of Inebriety in Women. Inebriety is bad enough In a man, but in i woman It is even more pitiable, aud, if it be possible, more far-reaching and more dreadful in Its results. With women It would, we think, be safe to say that the origin of the drink habit lies in perturbed physical conditions—in fact, that it Is u disease, ami not a mere moral obliquity, as many would have us believe. Tho conse quences of alcoholism in women are not so quickly evident as In men. In the earlier stages of inebriety in those casos in which there is power of volition, a peculiar shrinking from publicity proteots some women against the symptoms noted among men at a like period. Two causes may be given for tho lapse of women into Inebriety. First is tho nervous condition due to lack of nutrition and tho wear and worry of domestic life and the demands of society—an exhaustion for which relief Is mistakenly sought In tho transient aid of alcohol; secondly, the pain and unrost In cident to disorders of their sex, for which solace is sought in the ancesthetic and paralyzing effects of alcohol. In the first case the woman who flies to drink must be unaware or unmindful of the fact that Its taking Involves a great risk of creating a morbid condition that often find expres sion in constant iuebrloty. In the second case, tho so-called solace, with startling and sorrowful frequency, ends in conflrmod alcoholism.—New York Ledger. Fearful Day of Temptation. I shall never drink again, but one night In a New England train, and very 111, I met a stranger who pitied me and gave me a quick, powerful drug out of a small vial, and my pain was gone in a minute or two, but alcohol was licklug up my very blood with tongues of flame. I should have gotten drunk that night it I could. I thought of everything—of my two years of clean life; of the meeting I was going to, vouched for by my friend and brother, D. L. Moody, whose faith in me — withdrawn now, I fear—had gone out into all the world; of the bright, little home in New York; of Mary and the boys, I tried to pray, and my lips framed oaths. I reached up for God, and He was gone, and the fiercest fiend of hell had me by the throat and shouted, "Drink, drink, drink!" I said, "But Mary—but the boys;" it said. "To Hell with Mary—come on, to the saloon!" i It was not yet daylight, Sunday morning, when I stood on the platform at Pawtucket, alone, I flew from saloon to saloon, they were shut up, so were tho drug stores; and all that day, locked in my room at the hotel, I fought my fight and won it in the evening, by tho grace of God; and the peo ple never know that the man who spoke tc them that night had been in Hell all day. What would you take In cash to have that put into your life?— John G. Woolley, Gladstone on Temperance. Mr. Gladstone once said, In words whlcli lave become provarvlal, that the intem perance of the United Kingdom was the source of more evils than war, pestilence and famine; and to this it must be added that the intemperance that reigns in thai and other nations docs not come perlodi sally like war, but year by year remains ir permanent activity. Its havoc is not spor adic, but universal, audit is not Intermit tent, but continuous and incessant in it! action Notes of the Cruaade. There are 5000 temperance societies ii London. Nearly all trouble experienced with met in the army originates with the bottle. It requires more than one key to opei the door of success. Sobriety alone can not unlock the portal, but It is one ot th< keys. The number of drunkards in the United States to-day vastly exceeds the whole number of "children ot the wilderness' when America was discovered. Of what use is honesty and ability with out the strength ot will to control th< passions and appetites that, given fres rein, will drag us forward to destruction! 'Nobody thinks of repealing the lawt against murder or burglary, though they ■re as constantly. If not frequently,violated as are the laws cf Maine and Vermont against the sale of alcoholic liquors for usi as beverages. A Father's Story* From the Evening Crescent, Appleton, Wis. A remarkable oure from a disease which: hatpgenerally wrecked the lives of children, and left them in a condition to which death Itself would be preferred, has attraoted a Sreat amount of attention among the rosl enta of the west end of Appleton. The case is that of little Willard Creech, son of Riobard D. Creech, a well known employe of one of the large paper mills in the Fox River Valley. The lad was attacked by spinal disease and his parents had given up all hope of his ever being well again when, as by a miracle, he was healed and Is now in school as happy as any of his mates. Mr. Creech, the father of the boy, who, resides at 1062 Second Street, Appleton, Wisconsin, told the following story: He Goes to School. "Our boy was absolutely helpless. His lower limbs were paralyzed, and when wo used electricity he could not feel It below his hips. Finally we lot the doctor go as he did not seem to help our son and we nearly gave up hope. Finally my mother who lives In Canada wrote advising the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple and I bought some. "This was when our boy had been on tho stretcher for an entire year and helpless for nine months. In six weeks after taking the pills we noted signs of vitality in his legs, and In four months he was able to goto school. "It is two years since ho took the first of the pills and he is at school now just as happy and well ai any of tho other chil dren. It was nothing elso in the world that Baved the boy than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People." An Electric Light for Divers. Tlio submarine arc light has been invented, which will be of great value in diving and wrecking operations. Such a light would have been wel comed by the naval officers charged with investigating the causes of the wreck of tho Maine. The apparatus consists of a containing case made of glass and nietal, inside of which is the lamp, which receives the current through a double conductor water proof cable. The light is lowered into the water and can be moved by the diver so as to spread the light equally on all sides, tlius affording a concen trated beam on the hole in a ship's bottom. SJIn conjunction with this powerful light the camera plays an important part in reproducing a perfectly truth ful likeness of what actually exists at depths where the professional diver or engineer may not care to go. Such a record serves to insure a perfect un derstanding between the diver and those in charge of a work. There are many practical uses to which this invention may be put. Among the possibilities mentioned are examining and cleaning the bottoms of merchaut and battle ships, attach ing hoisting chains to guns and other movable parts on sunken vessels, plac ing and recovering submarine mines, constructing bridge piers, coffer dams and in photography. New York "World. A ISoy'a Musical Niceties. These are some of the answers to questions propounded to a large boy in a school not far from Troy: Musi cal tones differ because some are nicer than others. Pitch is the length of a keyboard of an organ. An interval in music is the distance on the key board from one piano to the next. The value of a whole note depends on where it comes.
