on Our Ilnml the llini of

CluUt's Adoption.

FOKT SCOTT, Kan., March IS.—The Kev. T. Do Witt Talmage, D. D., of tho Brooklyn Tals-mado, preanhed hero this evening to a crowded congregation. He took for his subject ''The Decoration of tho Soul," and his text was Luke xv, 22: "Put a ring on his hand." He said:

I will not rehearse the familiar story of the last, young man of the parable. You know what a splondid home ho loft. You know what a hard time ho had. And you remember hew after that season of vagabondage and prodigality ho resolved to go and weep out his sorrows on the bosom of parental forgiveness. Well, there is great excitement, one day in front of tho door of tho old farm house. The servants come rushing up and say: "What's the matter? What is tho matterf" lint before they quite arrive the old man cries out: "Put a ring on his hand." What a seeming absurdity! What can such a wretched mendicant as this fellow that is tramping on toward the house want with ring? Oh. he is the prodigal son. No more tending of the swine trough. No moro longing for tho pods of the carob tree. No more blistered feet. Off with the rugs! Oil with the robe! Out with the ring! Even so does God receive every one of us when wo comeback. There are gold rings, and pearl rings, and earmdian rings, and diamond ring?? but the richest ring that ever flashed on the vision is that whieh our father puts upon a forgiven soul.

I know the impression is abroad among some people that religion IxMneans and belittles a man that it takes all the sparkle out of his soul that he has to exchange a roystering inde|endeneo for an ecclesiastical strait jacket. Not so. When a man becomes a Christain, ho does not go down, he starts upward. Religion multipli*** one by ten thousand. Nay, the multiplier is in infinity. It is not a blotting out—it is a polishing, it is an arboresconce. it is an eHlorcscence, it is an irradiation. When a man comes into the kiudom of (iixl he is not sent into a menial service, but the Lord (.rod Almighty from the palaces of heaven calls upon the messenger angels that wait upon the throne tolly and "put a ring on his imnd." In Christ are the largest liU'i't y, the brightest joy, and highest honor, and richest adornment. Put a ring on his hand."

I remark, in tho first place, that when Christ receives a soul into his love he puts upon hi the ring of adoption. In my church in Philadelphia there came the representative of a Ivenevolent society in New York. He brought with him eight or ten children of the street, that he had picked up, and he war, trying to tind for them Christian I homes: and asthe httlo ones st^od on the pulI pit and sung, our heart: melted within us.

At the close of the services a great hearted, wealthy man came up and said: "I'll take this little bright eyed girl, and I'll ad»~t her I as one of my own children and he t»xk her by the hand, lifted her into his carriage and went away.

The next dnv, while we were in the church I gathering up garments for the poor of New York, this little child came back with a bundie under her arm. and she said: "There's my old dress perhaps some of the poor children would like to have it." while she herself was in bright and beautiful array, and those who more immediately examined her .said she had a ring on her hand. It was a ring of adoption.

There area great, many persons who pride themselves on their aneestrv. and they glorv over the royal blood that pours through their arteries. In their line their was a lord, or a duke, or a prime minister, or a king. Dut when the Lord, our father, put* uion us tho ring of adoption, we become the children of the ruler ot all nations. "Behold what man* ner of love the Father hath U'stowod upon us, that we sh mid be called the sons of (.*od.n It matters not how jhhh* our garments may be in this world, or how scant our bread, or how mean the hut wo live in, if we have tho ring of Christ's adoption upon our hand we are assured of otenial defenses.

Adopt! Why, then, wo are brothers and sisters to all the good of earth and henren. "Wo have the family name, the family dress, tho family keys, the family wardrobe. Tho father looks after us, rolics us. defends us, blesses us. We have royal blood in our vions, I and there are crowns in our line. If wo aro his children, then princes and princesses. It is only a question of time when we get our coronet. Adopted! Then wo have the fami1}* secrets. "The secret of tho Ivord is with them that fear him." Adopted! Then wo have the family inheritance, ami in tho day when our father shall divide the riches of

heaven, we shall take our share of tho mansions and palaces ami temples. Henceforth let us boast no more of an earthly ancestry,

The insignia ol eternal glory is our coat of arms. This ring of adoption puts upon us all honor and all privilege. Now we cau take the won Is of Charles Wesley, that prince

of hymn-makers, and sing: Come, let lis join our friends above, Who have obtained the priz«\

And on the eagle wings of lovj T«» joy eeles ial i*c.

l/'t all the saints terrestrial sing Willi those to kI'" gone Far ail the servants of our King,

In heaven and earth, are one.

I I have been told that when any of the 1 members of any of the great, secret societies of this country are inn distant city and are in any kind of trouble, and are set upon by enemies, they have only to give a certain sig-

nal and the members of tlicit organization will lliw'k around for defense. And when any man Iwlongs to this great. Christian brotherhood, if ho getsiti trouble, in trial, iu 'persecution, in teviptat hm, he lias only to show this ring of Christ's adopt ion, and all the armed cohorts «»f heaven will come to his rescue.

Still further, when Christ takes a soul into his love he puts i.pon it a marriage ring. Now that is not a whim of mine: "And I will U'throth thee unto me forever yea, I will betr -th tln-e unto ir.o righicou*iicss, and iu judgment., and in loving kindness, and in mercies At tho wedding altar the bridegroom puts a ring upon the bund of the bride, signifying love and faithfulness. Trouble may conic upon the household, and the carpe's may go. the pictures may go, the piano may go, everything else may ^o—the last thing that goes is tho marriage ring, for it is considered sacred. In the burial hour it is withdrawn from the hand and kept, in a casket, and sometimes tho box is ojenedon an anniversary day, and as you look at that ring you see under its arch a long procession of precious memories. Within the golden circle of that ring there is room for a thousand sweet recollect ions to revolve, and you think of the great, contrast between iie hour •When, at the close of tin4 "Wedding March," under tho flashing lights and amid the aroma of orange blossoms, you set that ring on the round lingerof the plump hand, and that other hour wncu. at tho close of the exhaustive

watrhing, when you know that tho soul had (led, you took from the bund, which gave back no res|Knsivc clasp, from that emaciated linger, tho ring that she had worn ro long ai. 1 worn so well.

On so ie anniversary day you take up that ring, a'.: 1 you rcpolish it until all the old luster copies back, and you can see in it the flush of eyes that long ago ceased to weep. Oh, it is ot an unmcauin^ thing when I tell you that vhen t.nnst receives a soul into his keeping puts on it a marriage ring. Ho endows you from that moment with all hid wealth.

on are one—Christ and the soul—»

one iu aqmthy, one in afl'ection, ono in hope. There is

power in earth or hell to effect

a divorcement after Christ and tho soul are united. Other kings have turned out their companions when they got weary of them, and sent thciiwidrift from the palace gate. Ahasuerus bai.'shed Vashti Na}oloon forsook Josephine but C.hrist is tho husband that is true forever. lla\ ing loved you once, he loves you to tho end. Did they not try to divorce Margaret, tho Scotch girl, from Jesus? They said: "You must givo up your religion." She said: "I can't givo up my religion." And so they took her down to the beach of the sea, and they drove in a stake at low water mark, and thi»y fastened her to it, expecting that as the tide camo up her faith would fail. The tide began to rise, and camo up higher, and to the girdle, and to the lip, and iu the hu»t moment, just us the wave was washing her soul into glory, she idiouted the praises of Jesus.

Oh, no, you cannot separate a soul from Christ.. It is an everlasting marriage. Battle, and storm, and darkness cannot do it. Is it too much exultation for a man, who is but dust and nshes like myself, to cry out today:

•I am iH.TMm.lril tlmt neither height, nor

with its follies, then it kicks you out into darkness. It comes back from the massacre of a million souls to attempt the destruction of your soul today. No peace out of God, but here is the fountain that can slake tho thirst. Here is tho harbor where you can drop safe anchorage.

Would you not like, I ask you—not |erfunrtorily, but as one brother might talk to another--would you not like to have a pillow of rest to put your head on/ And would you not like, when you retire at mght, to feel that all is well, whether you wake up tomorrow morning at 1 o'clock, or sleep the sleep that knows no waking/ Would you not like to exchange this awful uncertainty about tho future for a glorious assurance of heaven/ Accept of tho Lord Jesus today, and all is well. If on your way homo some peril should cross the street and dash your life out., it would not. hurt you. You would :rise up immediately. You would staud in tho celestial streets. You would be amid tho great throng that forever worship and aro forever happy. If this day some sudden disease should come upon you it would not frighten you. If you knew you were going you could given calm farewell to your beautiful home on earth, and know that you aro going .ght into the companionship ol those

who have already got beyond the toiling and

the weeping. You feel on Saturday night different from the way you feel any other night of tho week. You come homo from the bank, or the store, or the shop, and you say: "Well, now my week's work is done, and to-morrow is Sunday." It is a pleasant thought. Thero is refreshmentand reconstruct ion in the very idea. Oh, how pleasant it will be, if, when we get through the day of our iife, and wo go and lie down in our bod of dust, we can realize: "Well, now the work is all done, and to-morrow is Sunday—an everlasting Sunday." uh. when, thou city of my (iod,

ThtVifo :•people in this house today who

ire vi /. ... .ir the eternal world. If you aro Christians, I bid you be of good cheer. Bear with yon our congratulations to the bright city. Aged men, who will soon bo gone, take with you our love for our kindred in tho liet.ter laud, and when you see them tell them that we are soon coming. Only a few more sermons to preach and hear. Only a

nor liorc and there a woman, nor hero and there a child but giving you an unlimited invitation, saying: "Come, for all things are now ready." Wo invito you to the warm heart of Christ, and tho inclosuro of tho Christian church. I know a great many think that the church does not amount to Jinl-t, that it is obsolete that it did its work and it gone now, so far its all usefulness is concerned. It is the happiest place 1 have ever U«eii in, except my own home.

I know there are some ]MMplo who say they are Christians who seem to get along without any help from others, and who culture solitary piety. They do not want any ordinance. do not l»eloiig to thatclass. Icannot get along without them. There are so man}' things in this world that take my attention Irom (iod, and Christ, and heaven, that I want all the helps of all tho symlols and of all the Christian associations and I want around about me solid phalnux of men who loVc (}«nl and keep his commandments. Aro there any hero who would like to outer into that association/ Then by a simple, child like faith, apply for admission into tho visl bio church, and you will bo received. No questions asked about your past history or present surroundings. Only one test—do you love Jesus/

Baptism docs not amount to anything, say a great many people but the Lord Jesus declared: "He that lelieveth and is baptized shall he saved,''putting baptism and faith side by side. And an apostle declares: "ttopent and ho baptized, every one of you." I do not stickle for any particular mode of baptism, but 1 put great emphasis on the fact that you ought to be baptisod. Yet no more emphasis than tho Lord Jesus Christ, tho great head of tho church, puts upon it.

I go a step further, and tell you that when Christ receives a soul into his love he puts on him the ring of festivity. You know that it has been tho custom in all ages to bestow rings on very happy occasions. There is nothing more appropriate for a birthday gift than a riiir ou delight to bestow such a tho goodness of God, if you turn away and gift upon your children at such a time. It die, it will not be localise you did not have means jov. hilarity, festivity. Well, when good offer.

this old man of the text wanted to tell how glad he was that his boy had got back, he expressed it in this way. Actually, before ho ordered sandals to lm put on his bare Icet, before ho ordered the fatted calf to be killed to ap(ease the boy's hunger, ho commanded: "But a ring on his hand."

Oh, it is a merry time when Christ and the soul are united! Joy of forgiveness! What a splendid thing it is to feel that all is right between me and God. What a glorious thing it is to have God just take up all the sins of my life and put them in one bundle, ami then fling them into the depths of tho sea, never to rise again, never to be talked of again. J'ollution all gone. Uarkness all illumined, (iod reconciled. Tho prodigal home. "But a ring on his hand."

Everyday I And happy Christian people. I find some of them with no second coat, some of them in huts and tenement houses, not one earthly comfort afl'orded them ami yet they are as happy as happy can be. Thev sing "Bock of Ages" as no other people in the world sing it. They never wore anv jewelry in their iife but ono gold ring, and that was the ring of God's undying affection. Oh, how happy religion makes us! Did it make you gloomy and sail? Did you go with your head cast down? I do not think you got religion, my brother. That is not the effect of religion. True religion is joy. "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths aro jeaoe."

Why, religion lightens afl our burdens. It smooths all our way. It interprets all our sorrows. It changes tho jar of earthly discord forthojH'al of festal !H»1IS. In front of the flaming furnace of trial it sets the forgo on which scepters aro hammered out. Would you not like to-dav to come up from the swino feeding and try this religion? All the joys of heaven would come out and moot you, and (iod would cry from tho throne: "Put a ring on his hand."

You aro not happy. I see it. There is no peace, and sometimes you laugh when you feel a great deal more like crying. Th

A IVfttiviil Among Alaskans* Tho tribes of North Sound hold a festival every year in Octoler or November in memory of deceased kinsmen, and Betroff thus describes the ]erformanees: "At sunset tho men assemble in the knsbga, and, after a hurried bath, ornament each other by tracing various figures on tho naked back with a mixture of oil and charcoal. Twobovs, who for this occasion aro reflectively named tho raven ami tho hawk, aro in attendance, mixing the paint, etc. Finally, tho faces also are thickly smeared and then tho females are summoned into the kashga. After a brief lapse of time a noise is hoard, shrieks and yells, snorting and roaring and the disguised men, emerging from the flrehole, show their heads alove the floor, blowing and pufling like seals. It is impossible to distinguish any complete human figure, as some are crawling with their feet foremost, others running on their hands and feet, while the head of another is seen protruding between tho legs of a companion. They all cling together and move in concort like one immense snake.

A numler of men wear masks representing the heads of animals, and the unsightly Wings advance upon the sjootntors, but chiefly endeavoring to frighten the women, who have no means of escaping molestation except by buying off the actors with presents. Knowing what was before them, they have brought the kautags or wooden howls full of delicious morsels—beluga blubber, walrus meat, whale oiled berries and other dainties.

CnutitfrHt'lt Silver In Circulation. There is, by all accounts, a good deal of counterfeit silver in circulation in tho rural districts, and exactly how it gets into circulation no one seems to know. A friend of mine, who does a considerable supply business with the rural tradesmen offers a passable explanation. He has recently, ho says, received a number of letters from people in the south and southwest, asidng him to supply them with counterfeit money. At first thes" letters puzzled him, its he could not conceive how the writers, who were strangers to him. could have got his address and the idea that ho dealt in such a commodity as they wished to negotiate for. At last, however, it struck him that some of the peddlers whom ho supplied with goods might be enga in tin? '.m-dness of shoving the queer, an nt they had taken the liberty to give h.* Mine as tin? |crsou who furnished tho b. currency to them. The theory is quite pl.ius.ble. Beddlers get everywhere about

.".oui.trv »i the south, and could readilv

put out a largo quantity of base coin among the ignorant blacks and whites they deal with in the way of trade. A shrewd peddler, knowing the country well, could also pick his men and sell largo quantities of bad money to them with comparative safety to himself.—Alfred Trumbull in New York News.

('llmate of tho Moon,

The climate of the moon is known to a certainty. Its day, or period of rotation, is equal to ono lunar month. Us night is, therefore, equal to nearly fifteen terrestrial days, and during this jieriod of absence of tho sun a degree of cold is reached of which dwellers on the earth can have littloconception. With tho dawn of the lunar day a period of direct sunshine equal to nearly fifteen of our days follows the night of unexampled cold, and this sea^'Mi of constantly increasing and accumulating keat, untenqn-red by rain or clouds, must result in a state of temperature compared to which tho temperature of Central Africa would be like a winter in Alaska.—Boston Globe.
