THE NATURE OF GOD. Dr. Talmsge Expectations of the Day When That Which Is Only Dimly Seen Will Be Fully Revealed. Cvldeoce of Divine Power-OoJ't Infinite Lave Hit Nslors Never Cbssfes. ICopTTlrht ltui.i Wasttinotow, 1). C In thin discourse Dr. Tnltnage raises high expectation of the day when thnt which ia now oniy dimly seen will be fully revealed; text, Job isvi, 14: "Lo, theae are part of Hia ways. But hotv little a portion ia heard of Kim? Hut the thunder of Hia power who can understand?" The leaat understood being In the Uni verse ia Ood. Blasphemous would ie any attempt by painting or aeulpture lo rep resent Him. Kfryptian hieroglyphs tried to suggest Him by putting the figure of an eye upon a sword, implying that God t aeoa and rule, but how imperfect the sug gestion! When we apeak of Him it ia al most alwaya in a language iigurative. He ia "Light" or "Dayspring From on High," or He ia a "High Tower" or the "Foun tain of Living Water." Hia splendor ia ao great that no man can ace Him and live. When the group of great ihpnlog iana assembled in Westminster .Abbey for the purpose of making a evHtem of re ligious belief, they hmt of all wanted an answer to the question, "Who ia God?" No one desired to undertake tho answer ing of that overmastering question. They finally concluded to give the task to the youngest man in the assembly, who hap pened to be Kev. George Gillespie. Ho consented to undertsko it on the condi tion that they would first unite with him in prayer for divine direction. He began his prayer by saying, "O God, Thou art a spirit, infinite, eternal und unchangeable in Thy being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, gosduess and truth." That first sentence of Gillespie's prayer was unani mously adopted by the assembly as the beat definition of God. But, after all. it was only a partial success, and alter everything that language can do when put to the utmost etrain and all we can see of God in the natural world and real ize of God in the providential world we are forced to cry out with Job in rny text: "Lo, these are parta of Hia ways. But how little a portion of Him ia heard.' But the thunder of Hia power who cau understand?" Archbishop Ti'loUon and Dr. Diek and Timothy Dwight and Jonathau Edwards of the pant end the mightiest theologiaas of this young century have discoursed upon the power of God, the nttributo of omnipotence. And wo have all seen dem onstration of God's almightinetts. It might have been far out at sea when in an equinoctial gale God showed what. Ha could do with the waters. It might have been in an August thunderstorm in tho mountains when Ood shoved what Ho could do with the lightnings. Tt might have len in South America wnen God showed what He could do with the earth quakes, ft might have been among tho Alps when God allowed what He cculd do with the avalanches. Our cheek was blanched, our breath stopped, our pulses fluttered, our whole being was terrorized, but we had seen only nn instancs of t'.i vine strength. What was the power, of thnt storm compared with the power which holds all the oceans? What waa the power that shook the hills compared with tho power that swings the earth through nil the centuries and for 6000 years, and in a formative end incompletn shape for hundreds of thousands of years? What ia that power that sustains our world compared with the power which rolla through immensity the entire solar system and all tho constellations and gal axies and the universe? Tho mightiest intellect of man would give away if for a moment there came upon it the full ap preciation of what omnipotence is. What you and I sea and hear of divine strength are only "parts of His wavs. But how little a portion ia heard of Him! But the thunder of His power who caa uujer etand?" We try to satisi'y ourselves with saying: "It is natural law that controls things. Gravitation is at work; centripetal and eentrifuual forcea resnond to each other." But what is natural law? It ia only God's way of doing things. At every point in the universe it is God's direct and con tinuous power that controls and hartnon ikcs and sustains. That power withdrawn one instant would make the planetary cys tem and nil the worldx which astronomy reveals one universal wreck, bereft hemis pheres, dismantled sunsets, dead constel lations, debris of worlds. What power it must be that keeps the internal fires, of our world imprisoned, only here and there spurting from a Cotopaxi or a 8trombo!i or from a Vesuvius, putting Pompeii and Herculaneum into sepulcher, but for the most part the internal fires chained in their rages of rock and century after .cen tury unable to break the chain or burst open the door! What power to keep thj component parta of the nir in right pr portion, o that all around the world the nations may breathe in health, the frosts and the heats hindered from working uni versal demolition! Power, aa Isaiah says, "to take up the isles as a very little thing" Ceylon and Borneo and Hawaii as though they were pebbles; power to weigh the "winiintains in scales" and the "hihs in balances" Tenerife and the Cor dilleras. To move a rock we must have lever and screw and great Machinery, but God moves the world with nothing but a word; power to create worlds and power to destroy them, aa from the observatories again and again they have been seen red with flame, then pale with ashes and then scattered. What is that newer to us? asks some one. It is everything to us. With Him on our side, the reconciled God, the sym pathetic God. the omnipotent God, wo may defy all human and aatanie antagon isms, and when we are shut in by obsta cles we can say, as did one of Frobisher's , men when the sailor was describing how their ship was surrounded by icebergs in the Arctic sea. "The ice waa strong, but God was stronger than the ice." And, whatever opposition we may have, onr God is mightier than the opposition. All right with God, wo may have the courage of the general dying on the battlefield. He asked' to be turned, and when they said, "Which way shall we turn you?" he said. "Turn my (are toward the enemy." Whit a challenge that was uttered by the old missionary lyro, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Think of HI God ia the only being in the universe who has power to do as He pleases, i All hu man and ungeliv forces have environments. There are things they cannot do, heights they cannot scrle, depths they . cannot fathom. We get .some little idea of the divine power when we so how it buries the proudest cities fend nations. Ancient Memphis it has ground up until many of its ruins aro uo larger than your thumb nail, and you can hardly hud a souvenir large enough to remind you of your visit. . i'lre city of Tyro i under the sea which washes the shore on which are only a itxr crumbling pillars left. Sodom and Go morrah are covered by waters so death that not fish can ive in them. Babylon and .Nineveh are so blotted out of exist ence that not one uninjured shaft of their ancient splendor remains. Nothing but omnipotence could have put them dawn and put them under. Trie antediluvian world waa able to send to tho postdilu vian world only one ship, with a very small passenger list. Omnipotence first rolled the, seas over the laud and then told them to go baok to their usual chan nels as livers anu lakes and oceans. At Omnipotent command the waters pounc ing upon their prey and at Omnipotent command slinking back into their appro priate places. By such rehearsal we try to arouse our appreciation of whsjt omnju fence is, and our reverence ia excited, and our adoration ia intensified, but after all wa find ourselves at the foot of a mountain we cannot climb, hovering over a depth we cannot fathom, at the rim of circumference we cannot compass, and We feel like first going down on our knees and then like fulling flat upon our faces we exclaim: "Lo, theae are parts of 'His ways. But how little a portion is) heard of Him? But the thunder of Bis power who can understand?" Ho all those who have put together sys tems of theology havo diseourned also Miout the wisdum of God. Think of a wis dom which can know the end from the begiuniuf, that knowa the thirtieth cen tury mji well aa the first century. We can giuiw what will happen, but it is only a lucas. Think of a uiiiid that can hold all the past and all the present and all the future. We can contrive and invent on a small scale, but think of a wisdom that conld contrive a universe. Think of a wisdom thnt can learn nothing new, a wis dom that nothing can surprise, all the facta, scenes and occurrences of all time to come aa plainly -before it as tbourh they had already transpired. He could have built all the material universe into one world and swung it, a glorious mean, through immensity, but behold Hie wis dom in dividing up the grandeurs into in numerable worlds, rolling splendors on all sides, diversity, amplitude, majesty, in finity. Worlds, worlds, moving in com plete order, anining with complete ra diance.

It was the thunder that shook tinai whoa tha law was given. It was wire tbiud:i that the Lord disco.nUted tus Phi.s tines at Eben-eter. Job pictures the war horsa r.t k".ving a neck clothed with thunder, tt. John in an rpocalyptic vision again and agr.iu beard tho thuncer. The thur.der. whi.i is now quite well explained by the elec tricians, was tho overpowering mystery of the ancients, and. slant ing among those mysteries. Jo J exclaimed: Lo, then are parta of Ilia wavs. But hovr ht.lc a Por tion is heard of ? I at tl-- thiier of i-ia toner vhj can understand?" Co, nlr-, all sy3t:r.s of thcoiogr try ti tell us what is omnipotence ijat is, Goi'.'s capacity to lj every whera u; t.ia smni time. "Where is God?" said a hrath-n philosopher to a Cliristiaj m:.'j. The Christian answered. "Let ne rale v.iu where 1.3 ii tot?" The child had it right w ien, aaV.ed horr many Cods are there, and he i.nscrcd, "Unc." "How do you know that?" he was a:l:ed again. Ho an swered, "T?Mra is enly room for one, for Ho lills earth and heaven." An author says that if a man were set in t.io highest heavens ho would not be any nearer the ewencj of Cod than if he were in the centra cf tho earth. I believe it. If this divine escenco does not reach ail places, what use in our prayer, for prayers are being offered to God on the other aid? of tin earth r.s r-2ll as here, and O 1 mm. t3 there and here t- t-ke supplies, tiors which arc offered thousands of miles s.xirt. Ubiquity! No on. haj it but God. And wa.it an alarm to wickedness, an everywhere present Lord, and what a re enforccrient rhen wo need help! God en ths throne and God with the kneeling child raying Lis evening prayer at Ms mother's lap. God above you, God be neath you, God on the right of you, God on the left of you, Wod within you. No p.'.nthei: !', for that teaches that all lhin;s ore God, but Jehovah possesses all things, as our souls possess our bodies. God at the diameter ond circumference of everything, as close to you as the food you put to your lips, as the coat you put upon your back, as the sunlight that sniucs in your face. Appreciation of that, if through Jesus Christ, the atoning Sa viour, wo are right with God, ought to give us c serenity, a tranquillity, that nothing could upset. Would it make us gloomy? No, for God is the God of joy end will augment our haopinecs. We havo all been painfully reminded in our own experiences that we cannot bo in two places nt the same time, and yet hers cones the thought that God can be in all places nt the same time. Midler, the as tronomer, went on with his explorations of the heavens until he concluded that the star Alcyone, one of the l'lciadcs, was the centre of the universe, and it was a fixed world, and all tho other worlds revolved around that world, and some think that that world is heaven and God's throne is there and there reside tne nations of the blessed. But He is no more there thnn He ia here. Indeed Alcyone has been found to be. in motion, and it alto ia revolving around some great centre. But no place has yet been found where God is not present by sustaining power. Omnipres ence! who tuny appreciates it: rvot i; not you. sometimes we hear Him in the voice o the storm that jars the Adirondacks. But we cannot swim across this ocean. The finite cannot measure tho infinite. We feel as Job did after finding God in the gold mines ana tne silver mines ol Asia, tfuyipg, "There is a vein for the silver ami a jilace for the gold where they fine it." The nature of God never changes, and from all eternitv that holv Dassion slowed in the Infinite, and I think He was throw ing out worlds into space and inhabiting them nnd more worlds for the application of that love. He may not have told the other worlds what Ho it:d for this world. as He has not told us what He did for .them. 1 think the love of God was dcm onstrated in mightier worlds before our little world was fitted up for human resi dence. Will a man owning 50,000 acres of land put all the cultivation on a half acre? Will God make a million worlds and nut His chief auecliun on one small planet? Are the other worlds and larger worlds standing vacant, uninhabited, while this little world is crowded with in babitints? Ho, it takes a universe of worlds to express the love of God. And there are .other ransoms and other rescues and other redemptions, aa there may be other millenniums and other resurrection mornings and judgment days than thoss of our world. But in the apace of six feet by five was comprised the mightiest evidenco of God's love that any world ever saw or ever will see. Compressed on two planks joined together es a cress. mere was enough agony there concefr tratcd, if distributed, to nut whole na tions into torture. That God allowed the assassination of Hia own hnn for tho res cue of our world ia all the evidence needed that Ho loved the world. Go ahead, O chnrch of Godl Go ahead, O world, and tell as well as you can whst the love of God i, but know beforehand that Faul was ribt when he said, "It passeth knowledge." Let other poets take up the story of God's love where William (.owner and Isaao Watts and Charles Wesley and Horatius Bonar left it, and let other painters improve upon tho "Sis tine Madonna" and the "Adoration of the Magi'' and tha "Crucifixion" as Eophael and Titian aud Claude and Correggio pre- cuvcu mem. uie ucrman pulpit or ator take up the tkemo of God'a lova whero Frederick Tholuek left it, let Ital ian pulpit take it up where Gavozsi left it, let French pulpit orator take up the themo ; where Bourdelous left It, let tha Swiss imlpit orator take up the theme where Merle d'Aubigne loft it, let the Knglish pulpit take it up where George Wbilclicld left it, let tho Scotch pulpit take it up where Vt.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "The labor situation in many parts of the country is still seriously unsettled and constitutes a reason lor' hesitation in some industries, discouraging new operations which satisfactory conditions would otherwise stimulate. But quick decision is to be expected in some of these labor controversies, and in the meantime trade is encouraged by re ports of a satisfactory condition of win ter wheat over a large portion of the country. As 1or spring- wheat the crop was put in under very favorable condi tions and there have been few unsatis factory reports. "Railroad earnings for May, 9-6 per cent, in excess of igoo, and 23.2 per cent, over irkig, reflect a continued ac tivity in the country, while at New York bank clearings gain for the week 86.8 per cent, over igoo and sg.l per cent, over l8gg, with gains at the leading cit ies outside New York of 27.1 per cent, over 1900 and 27.5 per cent, over 1809. "The cessation of manipulation is torn contributed to a decline of 2.1 per cent, in brcadstuffs. "Efforts to secure advances in graie. by exaggerated reports of damage to the growing crop have given place to more rational statements, and the out look is generally conceded to be full of promise. Speculative, operations for a decline, however, art far from aggres sive, the severe losses of the short in terest thus far this season making trad ers extremely cautious. Abundant pro duction in the United States does not necessarily mean weak prices, for Eu ropean crops are falling below expecta tions, and foreign purchases continue heavy, Atlantic exports for the week, flour included, amounting to 4.520.144 bushels, against 2,855.261 last year. Pa cific exports also show good gains, reaching 854,515 bushels, against 591.015 a jxar ago. Including exports at Du huh and Portland, Me., the total out ward movement for the week, exclusive of Canadian ports, was 5.646,597 bush els, against 3,838,364 last year." Bradstreet's says: "Failures in the United States for the week number 163, against 144 last .week and 184 in this week a year ago." LATEST QUOTATIONS. Flour.
