To read day by day of the number of female bachelors that are being turned out by the colleges is something quite startling. We shall see some astonishing figures when the next census is published in full. Already one doctor in every tweny-tive is a woman, and one twenty-eighth of all the preachers are women. One-eighth of the college professors' chairs are now filled by women, while one journalist oft of evcrv twenty is a woman. In telegra phy and clerking women show signs of yet taking the whole field. While such facts arc multiplying, it i notorious that the marriage rate is stead ily falling; The whole face of society ap pears to be changing, for the woman with a diploma is not looking for a hus band. She is a bachelor. . The problem of industrial independ ence is gradually being solved through the new order of society which puts wo man so largely at the helm of the world's affairs. This, however, is not the only problem to be solved. When the world becomes full of women doctors and law yers and professors, somebody must pro vide the material to be preached to and cured and taught else the bachelors w;ill ultimately find themselves loaded with empty professions.

C. - Although Dr. lalmage was hindered from attending the great annunl meeting of the Christian En deavor Society ot Cincinnati, his sermon shows him to be in sympathy with the creat movement; text, Amos ix, 13, "Be liold the days come, snilli the Lord, that the plowman ahull overtake the renper." Lnable brriuiae of other important du ties to accept the invitation to tnkc pnrt in the great convention of Christian En deavorers nt Cincinnati, I preach a ser mon of congratulation lor all the members of that magnificent association, whether now gathered in vast assemblage or busy in their places of usefulness, transatlantic and cisatlantic. And, as it is now harveHt time in the firld and sickles are flushing in the gathering of a great crop, I find mighty stiggentiveness in my text. It is a picture of a tropical clime, with a season so prosperous that the harvest reaches clear over to th planting time and the swarthy husbandman, hiisv cut ting the grain, almost feels the breath of the homes on his shoulders, the homes hitched to the plow preparing for a new crop. "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, Hint the plowman shall overtake the reaper." When is that? That i3 now. That is this day. when hardly have you done reaping one harvest of religious result than the plowman is getting ready for another. In phraseology charged with all venom and abuse and caricature I know that in fidela and agnostic have declared that Christianity has collapsed: that the Bible is an obanlete book; that the Christian church is on the retreat. I shall answer that wholesale charge to-dav. Between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 Endcav orers sworn before high heaven that thev will do all they can to take America for (Jod, Europe for God, Asia and Africa for God are not the signs most cheering? Or, to return to the agricultural figure of my text, more than a million reaners are over taken by more than a million plowmen. Besides th., there are more people who believe in the Bible than nt any time in the world's existence. But now let us see whcllicr the book is a last year's almanac. Lot us see whether the church of God is a Bull Run retreat, muskets, canteens and haversacks strew ing all the way. The great English histor ian Sharon Turner, a man of vast learning and great accuracy, not a clergyman, but nn attorney ns well as a hinloiinn. gives this overwhelming statistic in regurd to Christianity and in regard to the number of Christians in the different centuries: In the first century NHtyiOO Christians, in the second century 2.000.000 Christians, in the third centurv 5,000,000 Christians, in the fourth century 10.000.000 Christians, in the fifth century 15,000.000 Christians, in the sixth century 20.000.000 Christians, in the seventh centurv 24,000,000 Chris tians, in the eighth "centurv 30,OiXI,000 Christians, in the ninth century 40,000.000 Christians, in the tenth century 50.000,000 Christians, in the eleventh century 70. 000.000 Christians, in the twelfth centurv 80,000.000 Christians, in the thirteenth . century 75.000,000 Christians, in the four teenth centurv 80,0O0,uO0 Christians, in the fifteenth century 100,000,000 Christians, in the sixteenth century 125,000,000 Chris tians, in the seventeenth centurv 155,000. 000 Christians, in the eighteenth century 200,000,000 Christians a decadence, as yoii observe, in only one century and more than made up in the following centuries, while it is the usual computation that there were at the close of the ninctecntli centurv 470,000,000 Christians, making us to believe that before this century is close the millennium will have started its boom and lifted its hosanna. Poor Christianity! What a pity it ha no friends! How lonesome it must be! Who will take it out of the poorhouse? Poor Christianity! Four hundred mill ions in one century. At the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury 150 missionaries: at the close of that century 84,000 missionaries nnd native helpers and evangelist.. At the beginning of the nineteenth century there were only 50.000 converts; now there are over 1,000, 000 converts from heathendom. So Christianity is falling back and the Bible, they say, is becoming an obsolete book! I go into a court, and wherever 1 find, a judgu's bench or a clerk's desk I find a Uilili Upon what book could there be uttered the solemnity of nn oath? .What look is apt to bo put in the trunk of the young man as he leaves for city life? The Bible. What shall I find in nine out of every ten homes in this city? The Bible. In nine out of every tan homes in Christendom? The Bible. Voltaire wrote the prophecy that, the Bible in the nineteenth century would become extinct. The centurv is gone, and I have to tell you that the room in which Voltaire wrote that prophecy not long ago was rrowded from floor to ceiling with Bibles from Switzerland. Suppose the . Congress of tho United Btates should pass a law that there should be no more Bibles printed in America and no Biblen read. If there are 00,000,000 grown people in the United States there would be 60,000,000 people in an army to put down such a law and defend their right to read the Bible. But suppose the Congress of the United States should make a law against the reading or the publication of any other book how many conic would go out in such a crusade? ould you get bO.000,000 people to go out and rink their lives in tho defense of Shakespeare's tragedies or Gladstone's tracts or Macanlay' "History of Eng land?" You know that there are a thou sand men who would dio in defense of this book where there is not more than one man who would die in the defense of any other bonk. You try to insult my common sense by telling me the Bible is fading out from the world. It is the most popular book of the centuries. "Oh," sav people, "the church is a col lection of hypocrites, and it is losing its power, and it is lading out from the world." Is it? A biiliop of the Metho dist church told mc that that denomina tion averages two new churches everv day. In other words, they build 730 churches in that denomination in a year, and there are at least 1500 new Christian churches built in America every year. Does that look as though the Christian church were fading out, as though it were defunct institution? What stands near est to the hearts of the American people to-day? I do not care in what village or what city or what neighborhood you go. What is it? Is it the poBtotliee? Is it the hotel? Is it the lecture hall? Ah, you know it is not. You know that that which stands nearest to the hearts of the Ameiican people is the Christian church.. You way talk ubout the church being a collection of hypocrites, " but when the diphtheria sweeps your children off, whom do you send for? The postmaster? The Attorney-General? The hotel keeper? Alderman? No. You send for a minister of this Bible religion. And if there is a song to be sung at the obsequies, what do you want? What does anybody want? The "Marseillaise Hymn?" "Ood Save the Queen?" Our own grand national air? No. They waut the hymn with which they sang their old Christian mother into her lust sleep, or they want sung the Sabbath-school hymn which their little girl sang the last Sabbath afternoon she was out before she got that awful sickness which broke your heart. I appeal to your common sense. You know the most en' (tearing institution on earth to-day is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. A man is a fool that does not recognize it. The infidels say: "There ia great liberty now for infidel freedom of platform. Infidelity shows its power from the fact that it is everywhere tolerated, and it can say what it will." Why, my friends, in fidelity is not half so blataut in our day as it was in the days of our fathers. Uo you know that ia the days of our fathers there were pronounced infidels in public authority, and they could get any political position Let a man to-day declare him self antagonistic to the Christian religion, and what city wants him for mayor, what State wants hiin for Governor, what na tion wants him for President or forking? Let a mau openly proclaim himself the enemy of our glorious Christianity, and he cannot get a majority of voles in any State, in fcny city, in any county, iu any ward of America. The Chriatiau religion ia zui.-'hticT tutlav than it ever was. - These opponents say . tnst science is overcoming religion in our day. They look through the spectacles of the infidel scientists and they sny: "It is impossible that this hook he true. People are finding it out. The Bible hns got to go over board." Do you believe that the Bible account of the origin of life will lie over thrown by infidel scientists who have fifty different theories ubout tho origin of life? If they should all come up in solid phalanx, all agreeing on one sentiment and one theory, perhaps Christianity might he damaged, nut there are not so many differences of opinion inside the church ns outside the church. Oh, it makes me sick to sec these liter Sty fops going along with a copy of Dar win under one arm and a case of transfixed grasshoppers and butterflies under the other arm. telling about the "survival of the fittest" and Huxley's protoplasm and the nebular hypothesis. The fact is that some naturalists, just as soon as they find out the difference between the feelers of a wasp and the horns of a beetle, begin to patronise the Almighty, while Agassis, glorious Agassi, who never made any pre tension to being a Christian, put both his feet on the doctrine of evolution and says: "1 see that many of the naturalists of our day are adopting facts which do not bear observation or have not passed under ob servation." These men warring with each other Darwin warring against Lamarch, Wallace warring against Cope, even Her schel denouncing rerguson. They do not agree about anything. Then you have noticed a more significant fact if you have talked with people on the subject -that they are getting dissatisfied with worldly philosophy as a matter of comfort. They say it does not amount to anything when you have a dead child in the house. They tell you when they were sick and the door of the future seemed opening the only comfort tbey could find was the gospel. People are having dem onstrated nil over the land that science and philosophy cannot solace the troubles and woes of the world, and they want some otiicr religion, and they nre taking Christianity, tho enly sympathetic reli gion that ever came into the world. You just take a scientific consolation into that room where a mother has lost her child. Try in that case your splendid doctrine of the "survival of the fittest." Tell her that child died because it was not worth ss much as the other children. That is your "survival of the fittest." Just try your transcendentalism, your philosophy, your science, on that widowed soul, and tell her it was n geological necessity that her companion should be taken away from her, just as iu the course of the world's history tho megatherium and the ichthyo saurus had to pass out of existence, and then you go on in your scientific consola tion until you get fo the sublime fact that 60,000.000 years from now we ourselves may be scientific specimens on the geo logic shelf, petrified specimens of an ex tinct human race, and after yon have got all through with your consolation, if the poor afflicted soul is not erased by it, we will send forth from any of our churches the plainest Christian we have, and with one halt hour of prayer and reading of Scripture promises the tears will be wiped away, anil the house from floor to cupola will be flooded with the calmness of an Indian summer sunset. There is where I see the triumph of Christianity. People are dissatisfied with everything else. They want God: they want Jesus Christ. The fact is that infidelity and agnosti cism are founded on ignorance geological, ignorance chemical, ignorance astronomi cal, ignorance geographical. We have heard what the enemies of Christiinity have had to testify. Now I put before you the testimony of the .church on earth and the church in heaven. Not fifty, not a thousand, not a million, but all of the church on- earth nnd all of the redeemed iu heaven. Will you take the evidence of those who have witnessed as well us felt the power of religion, or will you prefer the testimony of those who hegin by declar ing that they have never witnessed or felt its power? You tell me that on a certain 4th of March, twenty years ago, a Presi dent of the United States was inaugu rated. How do I know it? You tell me there were 20,000 persons who distinctly heard his inaugural address. 1 deny both. 1 deny that he was inaugurated. I deny that his inaugural address was delivered. You ask why? I did not see it. I did not hear it. But you say that there were 20.000 people who did see and hear him. Is not the testimony of the 20.000 who were present worth more than the testi mony of one who was absent? Now, there are Borne men who say they have never seen Christ crowned in the heart, and they do not believe it is ever done. There is a group of men who say they have never heard the voice of Christ, that thev have never heard tho voice of God. They do not believe that anything like it ever oc. purred. I point to twenty, a hundred thousand or a million people who say: "Christ was crowned in our heart's affec tions. We have seen Him and felt Him in our soul, and we have heard His voice. We have heard it in the storm and dark ness. We have heard it nguin and again." You say morphia put one to sleep. You say in timo of sickness it is very use ful. I deny it. Morphia never puts any body to sleep. It never alleviates pain. You ask why I say that. I have never tried it. I never took it. I deny that morphia is any soothing to the nerves or nny quiet in times of sickness. I deny that morphia ever put anybody to sleep. But here are twenty persons who say they have all felt the soothing effects of a phy sician's prescribing morphine. Young man, do not be ashamed to be a friend of the Bible. Do not put your thumb in your vest, as young men some times do, and swagger ubout, talking of the glorious light of nature and of there bciii2 no need of the Bible. Thev have I the light of nature in India and China nnd m ail the dark places of the earth. Did yon ever hear that the light of nr.ture gnvu them comfort for their troubles? They have lancets to cut and Juggernauts to crush, but no comfort. Ah, my friends, you had better stop your skepticism. Sup pose you are put in a crisis like that of Colonel Ethan Allen. I saw the account and at one time mentioned it in an ad dress. A descendant of Ethau Allen, who is an infidel, said it never occurred. Soon after I received a letter from a professor in one of our colleges, who is also a de scendant of Ethan Allen and is a Chris tian. He wrote me that the incident is accurate; that my statement was authen tic and true. The wife of Colonel Ethan Allen was a very consecrated woman. The mother instructed the daughter in the truths of Christianity. The daughter sick ened and was about to die. and she said to her father, "Father, shall I take your instruction, or shall I take mother's in struction? I am going to die now. I must have this matter decided." That man who had been loud in his infidelity said to his dying daughter: "My dear, you had better take your mother's religion." My advice is the same to you, O voung man! You know how religion comforted her; you know what she said to you when sne was uying. lou nau Detter take i your motuer religion. ronitry la Bwadtu.

THE SABBATH SCHOOL International Ltsson Conimenls July 14. For Subject: Reflnnlng of SI, and Redemption, Oen. III., MS--Golden Text, Ren. v., 20 Mtnery Verses, Ml5--Commeotary on the Dsy's Lessca. 1. "The serpent." That U wsa a real serpent is evident from the plain and art less style of the history, and from the many allusions made to it in the New Testament. "More subtle." Serpents are proverbial for wisdom. Matt 10: 16. But these reptiles were at first probably far superior in beauty as well as in sagacity to what they are in their present state. "He said." There was in the bosoms of the first pair no principle of evil to work upon, and this solicitation to sin came from without, as in the analogous case of Jesus Christ (Matt. 4: 3.); and as the tempter could not assume the human form, there being only Adam and Eve in the world, the agency of an inferior creature had to be employed. "Unto the woman." Though sinless and holy, she was a free agent liable to be tempted. "Hath God said." Is it true that He hath restricted you in using the fruits of this delightful place? This is not like One so good and kind. Surely there is some mistake. He insinuated a doubt as to her sense of the Divine will. 2. "We may eat." Eve resists the first assault by looking nt the largeness of her privileges. God hss given us the fruit of the trees of the garden, there is a vest amount of pleasure for us, but Satan led her to look at the one forbidden thing. 3. "The tree." The tree of the knowl edge of good and evil. Gen. 2: 17. It was placed in the garden as a moral test. The object was not to cause their downfall, but to test their integrity. Satan tempts; Ood tests. Tempting implies a desire that the tempted should yield and sin; testing implies the desire that the tested should stnnd the test. "Shall not eat." Eve shows that she is not in doubt regarding the restrictions placed upon them, or the penalty that would follow if the command were disobeyed. 4. "Shall not surely die." Satan now comes out in his true character as "the father of lies." In this he tacitly appeals to the fact of her own immortality, a fact which she may well be supposed to be aware of. But God referred to spiritual death, or separation from Himself and the devil knew this. 5. "God doth know." The tempter re flects upon God, ns though He were unwill ing to permit them to enjoy the best things. "Opened." And so they were to the fact tnat they had lost the purity of their moral character. Instead of being open to new visions of happiness, wisdom, glory and knowledge, they were open only to sin, misery and remorse. See vs. 7, 11. "Shall be as God" (R. V.) The object of the tempter appears to have been to per suade our first parents that they should, by eating of this fruit, become wise and powerful as God, and be able to exist for ever, independently of Him. 6. "Good for food." Coresponding to "the lust of the flesh." "A delight to the eyes" (K. V.) An appeal to the higher sense of beauty, "the lust of the eye." "Desired to make one wise." "The pride of life." See 1 John 2: 16. She was nt last completely overthrown. The conflu ence of all these streams made such a cur rent as swept the feeble will completely away; and blind, dazed, deafened by the lush of the stream, Eve was carried over, the falls as a man might be over Niagara. "Unto her husband." Adam sinned with his eyes open. Paul says he was not de ceived. 1 Tim. 2: 14. 7. "Knew that they were naked." Prov ing that they were no longer innocent, for innocence is a stranger to shame. They were conscious of guilt and unworthiness in each other's eyes, and in the sight of God. "Made themselves." Instead of turning to God for forgiveness they en deavored by their own efforts to cover their sin and shame. 8. "Heard the voice." The voice is properly used here, for as God is an infi nite Spirit, and can not be confined to any form, so Ho can have no personal appear auce. They heard the sound of the divine going, such ns was usual when God ap peared to them and conversed with them Cool of the day." The evening, the cus tomary time of worship. "Hid them- : selves. Shame, remorse, fear a sense of I guilt feelings to which they had hitherto i been strangers, disordered their minds, and led them to shun Him whose approach I they used to welcome. 9. "Where art thou?" This question proved two things. 1. That man was lost, i 2. That God had come to seek. Thus we see man's sin, and God's amazing grace. I 10. "I was afraid." Sin makes cowards of men. "Because," etc. Adam's reply is full of evasion. He confesses not his sin, but only his fear and shame at his bodily nakedness. The question just asked had given him opportunity to confess his sin. "I hia myself." Adam's apron could not screen him from the eye of God, and he could not stand in His presence naked; therefore he fled to hide himself. This is what conscience will always do; it will cause man to hide himself from God. 11. "Who told thee?" In admitting that he was afraid and naked he unconsciously acknowledged his sin. 12. "The woman." Here we find him actually laying the blame of his shameful fall on the circumstances in which God had placed him. and thus, indirectly, on God Himself. This is ever the vny with fallen man; every one and every thing is blamed hut self. 13. "Beguiled." Deceived me by flat tering lies. This sin committed by Adam and Eve was heinous and aggravated. It was not simply eating nn apple, but a love of self, dishonor to God, ingratitude to a benefactor, disoliedicnce to the best of Masters a preference of the creature to the Creator. 14. "Thou art cursed." It is believed by many that before the fall the serpent went upright, and had an entirely differ ent form from that what he now has; others think that his form rvas the same, but that alter the fall "his attitude be came a badge of shame and repulsiveness." Prom being a model of grace and elegance it has become the type of all that is odious, disgusting and low. 15. "Enmity." This enmity still exists; mankind loathes and detests everything of the serpent kind. "Thy seed." Evil spir its and wicked men. "Her seed." An al lusion to Christ and His church. "Bruise thy head." The serpent's poison is lodged in its head, and a bruise on that part is fatal. Thus fatal shall be the stroke which Satan shall receive from Christ; though it is probable he did not at first under stand the nature and extent of his doom. "Bruise his heel." The serpent wounds the heel that crashes him, and so Satan would be permitted to afflict the human ity of Christ and bring suffering and per set ntion on His people. A Peculiar Industry.
