“ Beauty without grace la a hook without a bait” That’s what the French think. Whether It be true or not, there are many American women who do not even possess the hook—beauty and attractiveness are denied them. Why ? Because they’re languid, cross and irritable. They know not what it is to be without pain or discomfort half the time.

DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON. HE PREACHES ABOUT THB GIANT’S BESTEAD. Caaaoni Drawn from th, 111 bln Itenltnt or th, Knoountered of th, Israelite, with the Elevon Foot Ueathen Warrior—A Fownrrrn Sermon. Og, King ot llashan. The text was Deuteronomy 111, 11: “Only Og, King of Bastian, remained of the remnant of giants; behold, bis bedstead was a bedstead of iron; Is It not In Rabbath ot the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was the length thereof and four cubits the breadth of it.” Tho story of giants Is mixed with myth. William the Conqueror was said to have been of overtowering altitude, but when In gftertimo his tomb was opened his bones Indicated that ho had been physically of ordinary size. Roland the Hero was said to have been of astounding stature, but when bis sepulcher was examined bls armor was found only large enough to tit an ordinary man. Alexander the Great bad helmets and shields of enormous size made and left among the people whom he had conquered, so as to give the impression that he was a giant, although he was rather under than over the usual height of a man. But that in other days and lands there were real giants is authentic. One of the guards of tho Duke of Brunswick was eight and a half feet high. In a museum In London Is tho skeleton of Charles Birne, eight feet four inches in stature. The Emperor Maximin was over eight feet. Pliny tells of a giant nine feet high and two other giants nine and a halt feet. So lam not Incredulous when I come to my text and find King Og, a giant, and the size of his bedstead, turning the cubits of the text into feet, the bedstead of Og, the King, must have been about thirteen and a half feet long. Judging from that the giant who occupied it was probably about eleven feet in stature, or nearly twice the average human size. There was no need of Rabbinical writers trying to account for the presence of this giant. King Og, as they did, by saying that be came down from the other side of the flood, being tall enongh to wade the waters beside Noah's ark, or that he rode on the top of the ark. the passengers inside the ark daily providing him with food. Thoro was nothing supernatural about him. He was simply a monster in size. Cyrus and Solomon slept on beds of gold, and Sardatiapolus had 150 bedsteads of gold burned up with him, but this . bedstead of my text was of iron—everything sacrificed for strength to hold this excessive avoirdupois, this Alp of bone and flesh. No wonder this couch Was kept as a curiosity at Rabbath, and people went from far and near to see it, lust as now people go to museums to behold the armordf'the ancients You say what a fighter this giant. King Og, must have been. No doubt of it. I suppose the size as his sword.and breastplate corresponded to the size of his bedstead, and his stride across the battlefield and the full stroke of his arm must have been appalling. With an armed host he comes down to drive back the Israelites, who are marching on from Egypt to Canaan. We have no particulars of the battle, but I think the Israelites trembled when •hey saw this monster of a man moving down to crush them. Alas for the Israelites! Will their troubles never cease? What can men five and a half feet high do against this warrior of eleven feet, and what can short swords do against a sword whose gleam must have been like a flash ot lightning? The battle of Edrei opened. Moses and his army met the giant and his army. The Lord of Hosts descended into the fight, and the gigantic strides that Og had made when advancing into the battle were more than equaled bj- the gigantic strides with which he retreated. Huzza for triumphant Israel! Sixty fortified cities surrendered to them. A land of indescribable opulence comes into their possession, and all that is left of the giant king is the Iron bedstead. “Nine cubits was the length thereof and four cubits the breadth of it” Why did not the Bible give us the size of the giant instead of the size of the beadstead! Why did it not indicate that the giant was elevon feet high instead of telling us that his couch was thirteen and a half feet long? No doubt among other things it was to teach us that you can judge of a man by his surroundings. Show me a man’s associates, show me a man’s home, and I will tell you what he is without vonr telling me one word about him. You cannot only tell a man according to the old adage, “By the company he keeps,” but by the books he reads, by the pictures he admires, by the church he attends, by the places he visits. Moral giants and moral pygmies, intellectual giants and intellectual pygmlesjike physical giants or physical pygmies can be judged by their surroundings. That a man has been thirty years faithful in attendance upon churches and prayer meetings and Sunday-schools, and putting himself among intense religious associations. He may have his imperfections, but he is a very good man. Great is his religious stature. The other man has been for thirty years among influences intensely worldly, and he has shut himself out from all £ther influences, and his religious stature is that of a dwarf. « No man ever has been or can be’independent ot his surroundings —social, intellectual, moral, religious. Tho Bible indicates the length of tho giant by tho length of his beadstead. Let no man say, “I will be good,” and yet keep evil surroundings. Let ho man Say, “I will be faithful as a Christian,” and yet consort chiefly with worldings. You are proposing an everlasting impossibility. When a man departs this lite you can tell what has been his influence in a community for good by those who mourn for him and by how sincere and long continued are the regrets of his taking off. There may be no pomp or obsequies and no pretense at epltapheology, but you can tell how high he was in consecration, and how high in usefulness by how long is his shadow when becomes to lie down. What is true of individuals is true of cities and nations. Show mo the free libraries and schools ot a city, and I will tell you the intelligence of the people. Show me its gallery of paintlug and sculpture, and I will tell you tho artistic advancement of its citizens. Show me Its churches, and I will tell you the moral and religious status of the place. From the fact that Og’s bedstead was thirteen and a half feet long, I conclude the giant himself was about eleven feet high. But let no One by this thought be Induced to surrender to unfavorable environments, A man can make his own bedstead. Chantrey and Hugh Miller were born stonemasons, but the one became an immortal sculptor and the other a Christian scientist whose name will never die. Turner, the painter, in whose praise John Ruskin expended the greatest genius of his life, was tho son of a barber who advertised “a penny a shave.” Dr. Prideaux, one of the greatest scholars of all time, earned his way throughewltege by scouring potfcaud pans. The late Judge Bradley worked bls own way up from a charcoal burner to the bench of the Supremo Court of the United States. YJb, a man can decide the size of his own bedstead. Notice furthermore that even glints *«at rest, bach enormous physical en- - - ■

dowment en the part of King Og might suggest the capacity to stride across all fatigue and omit slumber. No. He hasl required an Iron bedstead. Giants must! rest. Not appreciating that fact, bow many of the giants yearly break down., Giants in business, giants in art, gtzato in eloquence, giants in usefulness. They, live not more than half their daya They try to escape the consequence of overwork by a voyage across tno sea or a sail In a summer yacht, or call on physicians for relief from Insomnia or restoration of unstrung nerves or tho arrest of apoplexies, when all they need Is what this giant of my text resorted to—an iron bedside, ■ Lot no one think because he has great strength of body or mind that he can afford to trifle with his unusual gifts. Tho commercial world, the literary world the artistic world, the political world, the religious world,. are ail the time aquake with the crash of tailing giant a King Og no doubt had a throne, but the Bible never mentions his throne. King Og no doubt bad a crown, but the Bible never mentions his crown. King Og no doubt had a scepter, but the Bible does not mention his scepter. Yet one of the largest verses of the Bible Is taken up in describing bls bedstead. So God all up and down the Bible honors sleep. Adam, with his head on a pillow of Edeuic rosea, has bls slumber blest by a divine gift of beautiful companionship. Jacob, with his head on a pillow of rock, has his sleep glorified with a ladder tilled with descending and ascending angles. Christ, with a pillow made out of the folded up coat of a fisherman, honors slumber in the back part ot the storm tossed boat. The only case of accident to sleep mentioned in the Bible was when Eutyebus fell from a window during a sermon of Paul, who had preached until midnight, but that was not so much a condemnation of sleep as a censure of long sermons. More sleep is what the world wants. Economize in everything but sleep. Notice, furthermore, that God's people on the way to Canaan need not be surprised if they confront some sort of a giant. Had not the Israelitish host had trouble enough already? No! Red Bea not enough. Water famine not enough. Lqng marches not enough. Opposition by enemies of ordinary stature not enough. They must need Og, the giant of the iron bedstead. “Nine cubits was the length thereof and four cubits the breadth of it." Why not let these Israelites go smoothly into Canaan without this gigantic opposition? Oh, they needed to have their courage and faith further tested and developed! And blessed the man who, in our time, in his march toward the Promised Land, does not meet more than one giant. Do not conclude that you are not on the way to Canaan because of this obstacle. As well might the Israelites conclude they were not on the way to the Promised Land because they met Og, the giant Standing in your way is some evil propensity, some social persecution, some business misfortune, some physical distress. Not one of you but meets a giant wbd would like to hew you in twain. Higher than eleven feet this Og darkens the sky and the rattle of his buckler stuns the ear. But you are going to get the victory, as did the Israelites. In the name of the God of Moses and David and Joshua and Paul, charge on him, and you will leave his carcass in the wilderness. You want a battle shout! Brethreu. I have made up my mind that we will have to fight all the way up to the Promised Land. I used to think that after awhile 1 would get into a time where it would be smooth and easy, but the time does not come and it will never come in this world. By tho time King Og is used up so that he cannot get into his iron bedstead, some other giant of opposition looms up to dispute our way. Let us stop looking for an easy time and make it a thirty years’ war, or a sixty years’ war, or a hundred years’ war, if we live so long. . Must I bo carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize And soiled through bloody seas?

Do you know the name of the biggest giant that you can possibly meet—and you will meet him? He is not eleven feet high, but 100 feet high. His bedstead is as long as the continent His name is Doubt His common food is intidel books and skeptical lectures and ministers who do not know whether the Bible is inspired at all or inspired in spots, ana Christians who are more infiel than Christian. You will never reach the Promised Land unless you slay the giant Kill Doubt or-Doubt will kill you. How to overcome this giant? Prpy for faith,go with people who have faith, read everything that encourages faith, avoid as you would ship fever and smallpox the people who lack faith. In this battle against King Og use not for weapons the crutch of a limping Christian or the sharp pen of a controversialist but the sword of truth, which is the word of God. The wora "If” is made up of the same number of letters as the word "Og,” and it Is just as big a giant If the Bible be true. If the soul be immortal, if Christ be God. If our belief and behavior here decide our future destiny. It. If. If. I hate that world “If.” Noah Webster says it is a conjunction; I say it is an armed giant. Satan breathed upon it a curse when he said to Christ, “It thou be the Son of God.” What a dastardly and infamous “If.” Against that giant "If” hurl Job’s "1 know” and Paul’s "I know.” “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” "I know in whomTi have believed.” Down with the "If” and up with “I know.” Oh, that giant Doubt is such a cruel giant! It attacks many in the last hour. It could not lot my mother alone even in her dying moments. After a life of holiness and consecration such as I never hoard of in any one else, she said to my father, "Father, what if, after all, our prayers and struggles should go for nothing.” Why could she not, after all the trials and sicknesses and bereavements of a long life and the infirmities of old age, be allowed to go without such a cruel stroke from Doubt, the giant? Do you wonder I have a grudge against the old monster? If I could I would give him a bigger bounce than Satan got when, hurled out of Heaven, the first thing he struck was the bottom of perdition. Another impression from my subject: The march of the church cannot be impeded by gigantic opposition. That Israelltish host led on by Moses was the church, and when Og, the giant (him of the iron bedstead), came out against him with another host—a fresh host against one that seemed worn out—things must have looked bad for Israel. No account is given ot the bedstead of Moses, except that one in which he first slept—the cradle of aquatic vegetation on the Nile, Where the wife of Cbenophres, the King, found the floating babe and, having no child of her own, adopted him. Moses of ordinary size against Og of-extraor-dinary dimensions. Besides that Og was backed up by sixty fortifled cities. Moses was backed up seemingly by nothing but the desert that had worn him and his army into a group of undisciplined and exhausted stragglers. But the Israelites triumphed. If you spell the'name of Og backward, you turn it into the word "Go,” and Og, was turned backward and made to go. — — With Og’s downfall all the sixty cities surrendered. Nothing was left of the glant ezcept his iron bedstead, which was kepi in a museum at Rabbath to show how tall and stout he once was. So shall the last giant of opposition in the church’s march succumb. Not sixty cities captured, but all the cltlea Not

only on one side of Jordan, but on both sides of all the rivers. The day is coming. Hear It, all yu who are doing something for the conquest of the world for God and the truth, the time will come when, as there was nothing loft of Os, the giant but the Iron bedstead kept'ht Rabbath as a curiosity, there will be nothing left of the giants of iniquity except something for the relic hunters to examine. Which of the giants will bo the last slain I know not. but there will be a museum somewhere to hold the relics of what they once were. A rusted sword will be hung up—the only relic of the giant of War. A demijohn—the only relic of the giant of Inebriation. A roulette ball—the only relic of the giant of Hazard. A pictured certificate of watered stock—the only relic of the giant of Stock Gambling. A broken knife—the only relic of the giant of Assassination. A yellow copy of Tom Paine—the only relic of the giant of Unbelief. And that museum will do for the later ages of the world what the iron bedstead at Rabbath did for the earlier ages. Do you not see It makes all the difference In the world wbetlier wc are fighting on toward a miserable defeat or toward a final victory? Al! the Bible promises prophesy the latter, and so I cheer you who are the troops of God, and though many things are dark now, like Alexander, I review tho army by torchlight, and I give you the watchword which Martin Luther proclaimed, "The Lord of Hosts!” “The Lord, of Hoste!” and I cry out exnltingly with Oliver Cromwell at the battle of Dunbar. “Let God arise; let His enemies be scattered.” Make all the preparations for the world's evangelization. Have the faith of Robert and Mary Moffatt, the missionaries, who after preaching in Bechuanaland for ten years without one convert when asked what they would like to have sent them byway of gift from England, said, “Send a communion service, for it will be surely needed;” and sure enough the expected ingathering of many souls was realized anti the communion service arrived in time to celebrate it. Whatever your work and wherever you work for God—forward! You in your way and lin my way. With holy pluck fight on with something of the strength, of Thomas Troubridge, who at Inkermann had one leg shot off and the foot of tfie'pther leg, and when they proposed to carry him off the field, replied: “Na Ido not move until the battle Is won.” Whatever be the rocking of tho church or state, have the calmness of tho aged woman in an earthquake that frightened everybody else, and who, when asked if she was not afraid, said, "No: lam glad that I have a God who can shake the world.” Whether your work be to teach a Sabbath class, or nurse an invalid, or reform a wanderer, or print a tract, or train a household, or bear the querulousness of senility, or cheer the disheartened, or lead a soul to Christ, know that by fidelity you mav help hasten the time when the world shall be snowed under with white lily and incarnadined with red rose. And now I bargain with you that we will come back some day from our superstellar abode to see how the world looks when It shall bo fully emparadised—its last tear wept, its last wound healed, its last shackle broken, its last desert gardenized, its last giant of iniquity decapitated. And when we land mav it bo somewhere near this spot of earth where we have together toiled and struggled for the kingdom of God, and may it be about this hour in the high noon of some glorious Sabbath, looking Into the upturned faces of some great audience radient with holiness and triumph. . - M. The first organ over brought to this country is still in constant use in St John’s Chapel, Portsmouth, N. H. The Hon. Henry K. Oliver, of Salem, Mass., thus gives its history: “It is sometimes known as the Brattle organ, having been the property of "the Hon. Thomas Brattle, who was born in Boston, in 1658, and was treasurer of Harvard College (where he grt duated in 1676, one of a class of only three members) from 1693 till 1713, the year of his death (unmarried), in Boston. Brattle square and Brattle streqt, and the now extinct Brattle Street Church, Boston, of which he was the leading founder, giving the land on which it was built, take name from him. The organ (not large) referred to was of English make and imported. Mr. Brattle in his will says: !I give, dedicate, and devote my organ to the praise and glory of God in the said church [Brattle Street] if they shall accept thereof, and within a year after my decease procure a sober person that can play skilfully thereon with a loud noise ; otherwise to the Church of England (King’s.. Chapel) in this town; on the same terms, and conditions, and on their non-ac-ceptance, or discontinuance to use it as above, unto the college, and on their non-acceptance to my nephew, William Brattle.’ Brattle Street Church refused the gift, the opposition to organs in dissentingPchurehes being then as great as it is now in churches in Scotland! But the parish of King’s Chapel (Stone Chapel) accepted the gift, complying with the terms, and procuring a ‘sober person, Mr. Edward Enstone, from England, on a salary of £3O per annum. Here it was used till 1756, when it was replaced by a new and larger one from England. It was then sold to St. John’s church, in Portsmouth —though rumor has it that it was for a while in a church in Newburyport. It is now at least 175 years old, and yet in good order. ‘Why, on its discontinuance,’ it did not go to Harvard College, according to the terms of the will, is not known.” A study of the census reports of 1880 in relation to the agricultural interests of the United States furnishes some interesting information in regard to the relative profits arising from the chief ; industry in various sections of the country. The -productiveness of the persons employed in farming varies surprisingly. The highest productiveness appears in the Pacific States, where 110,667 persons engaged in agriculture in 1879 produced staples worth $75,811,4'22, or $685 to each person engaged in the business The next highest in the list arrthe four Middle States —New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware—in which 755,635 persons raised crops to the value of $343,757,272, or $454 to each person. The Western or Mississippi valley States come next in order, with 2,346,544 persons, producing crops worth $913,960,652, or $389 to each worker. New England’s poor soil and worse climate ent her products down so that 301,815 farm workers produced only $103,313,566, or $342 ewb. But the astonishing result is in the South. Hero 4,070,945 laborersproduced values aggregating $756,391,308, or only $lB5 to each worker; and, while in all probability not absolutely correct, they bo acoepted-aa-! a showing relatively accurate. The differences are startling. That the Pacific States should produce 50 per cent, more in proportion to the labor employed than the rich and highlyoultivateg Middle States, and almost four times as much as the South, will astoaiah the farmers of both localities.
