Dll TALMAGE’S SERMON. HE PORTRAYS THE ADVANTAGES OF THE CHRISTIAN. ■ --A - Religion Never Win Dealginnl to Malto Our l*lna.ure. Lea.-God Will Withhold No Good Tiling from Thuso Who Lov. Him—The Infinite Father. Our Possessions. _ Di. Talmage’s preaching tour In England has been a continued series of unprecedented successes. Tho English people have assembled by thousands to hoar the American preacher wherever he has preached. In Manchester the great Trade Hall was engaged for him. It holds 7,000 persons, but It would not contain a third of the people who tried to gpt In. Tho streets leading to the hall wore Jammed with a dense surging mass of humanity. After the service Dr. Talmage preached in the street to thocrowd, which numbered fully 15,000. The sermon selected for this week Is entitled “Our Possessions,”- from I Corinthians 111, 22, “All are yours.” The Impression is abroad that religion puts a man on short allowance; that when tho ship sailing heavenward conies to the shining wharf it will be found out that all the passengers had the hardest kind ot sea fare; that tho soldiers in Christ's army march-most of the time with an empty haversack. In a word, that only those people have a good time In this world who take upon thegiselvcs no religious obligation. 1 want to-day to find out whether this is so, and I am going to take account of stock; I am going to show what are the Christian's liabilities, and what is his income, and what are his warrantee deeds, and what are his bonds and mortgages, and I shall find out before I finish just how much he is worth, and I shall spread before you tho balance sheet In time to warn you all against the religion of Jesus Christ if indeed it be a failure, and in time for you all to accept it if indeed it be a success. I turn first to tho assets, and I find there what seems to be a roll of government securities —the empire of heaven promising all things to the possessor, The three small words of my text are a warrantee need to the whole universe when it says, “All are yours.” In making an inventory of tho Christian’s possessions I remark, in the first place, that he owns this world. My text implies it, and the preceding verse asserts it—“whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world.” Now it would be an absurd thing to suppose that God would give to strangers privileges and advantages which he would deny his own children. If you have a large park, a grand mansion, beautiful fountains, stalking deer, and statuary, to whom will you give the first right to all these possessions? To outsiders? No. to your own children. Yon will say, “It will bo very well for outsiders to come in and walk on these paths and enjoy this landscape, but the first right to my house, and the first right to my statuary, the first right to my gardens shall be in the possession of my own children.” Now. this world is God’s park, and while he allows those who are not his children and who refuse his authority the privilege of walking through the gardens, the possession of all this grandeur of park and mansion is in the right of the Christian—the flowers, the diamonds, the silver, the gold, the morning brightness and the evening shadow. The Christian may not have the title deed to one acre of land as recorded in the Clerk’s office, he may never have paid one dollar of taxes, but be can go up on a mountain and look off upon fifty miles of grain field and say. “All this is mine; my Father gave it ma” "All are yours.” A lawyer is sometimes required to search titles, and the client who thinks he has a good right to an estate puts the papers in his hands, and the lawyer goes into the public records, and finds everything right for three or four or five years back; but after awhile he comes to a break in the title, to a deficit, to a diversion of the property; so he finds out that the man who supposed be owned it owns not an acre of the ground, while somebody else has the full right to the entire estata Now, I examine the title to all earthly possessions. I go back a little way, and I find that men of the world—bad men, selfish men, wicked men —think they have a right to all these possessions; but I go farther back, and I trace the title from year to year, and from century to century, until I find the whole right vested in God. Now, to whom did he give It? To his own children! “All are yours.” The simple fact is that in the last - days of the world all the architecture.' all the cities, all tho mountains, all the villages will be in the possession of the church of Christ. “The meek shall inherit tho earth.” .Ships of Tarshish shall bring presents. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” “All are yours.” “But,” you say, “what satisfaction is there in that when I haven’t possession of them?” These things will come before the Supreme Judge of the Universe, and he will regulate the title, and he will eject these squatters upon tho property that doos not belong to thorn, and it shall bo found that “All are yours.” ( So again, tho refinements of life are tho Christian’s right. Ho has a right to as good apparel, to as beautiful adorn-, ments, to as commodious a residence as tho worldling. Show mo any passage in tho Bible that tells tho people of the world they have privileges, they have glittering spheres, they have honefitting apparel that arc denied tJbo Christian. There is no one who has so much right to laugh, none so much a right to everything that is beautiful and grand and sublimo in life as tho Christian. "AU all yours.” Can it be possible that one who Is reckless and sinful, and has no treasures laid up in Heaven, is to be allowed pleasures which the sins and daughters of God, the owners of the whole universe, and denied? So I remark that all the sweet; sounds of tho world are in the Christianfs right There are people who have an icfea that Instruments of music are inappropriate in the Christian’s parlor. When did the house of sin r th§ bacchanal get tho right to music They have no right to it. God, in 'r y text, makes over to the, Christian p< >ple all the pianos, all the harps, all the drums, all the cornets, s 1 tho organs. People of the worltj m y borrow them, but they only borrow them; they have no right or title to the i. God gave them to Christian people ih ay text when he he said, “All are your ” David no more-certainly own id the harp with which he thrumm id the praises of God than tho church oi Christ owns now all the chants, all at .hems, all ivory keyboards, all organ dia asons, and God will gather up these sweet sounds after awhile, and be will single them In one great harmony, ai 1 the Mendelssohns, and -the Beothovei s, and the Mozarts of the earth will ’joli their voices and their musical instru icnts, and soft south wind and loud inged euroclydon will sweep the great organ pipes, and you shall see God’s hand striking the keys and God’s foot amping the pedals In the groat orate lo of tho ages! So all artistic and literary advai Lages are in the Christian’s right I o not care on whose wall tho picture hat rs or on whose pedestal the sculptures inds, it beltings to Christians. The Bier ;adts and the churches are all working f r us. “All Are yours.” The Lnxembourt the ■■

Louvre, all tho galleries of Naples and Romo and Venice—they are all to come into tho possession of tho church of Jesus Christ. Wo may not now have them on our walls, but tho time will como when tho writ of ejectment will be served and the cliiifch will possess overyttilng. All parks, all fish-ponds ail colors, all harvests—all. “all are yours.” Secondly, I remark that tho right to full temporal support Is in the Christian’s name. It is a groat affair to feed, tho world. Just think of tho fact that this morning sixteen hundred millions ot otir taco breakfasted at God’s ttfblo. Tho commissary department of a hundred thousand men In an army will engage scores of people; but just think of a commissary department of a world! Think of the gathering up from tho rice swamps, and the tea fields, and tho orchards, and the fisheries! No one but God could tell how many bushelsit would take to feed five continents. Then to clothe all these people—how many furs must be captured, and how much flax broken, and how much cotton picked. Just think of the infinite wardrobe where sixteen hundred millions of people got their clothes! God spreads the table first of all for His children. Os course that would be a very seflsh man who would not allow other people to come and sit at his table sometimes, butfirstof all the right is given to Christian people, and therefore It is extreme folly for them ever to fret about food or raiment. Who fed the whales sporting off Cape Hatteras this morning? Out ot whoso hand did the cormorant pick its food? Whoso loom wove the butterfly’s wing? Who hears the hawk’s cry? If God takes care of a walrus, and a Siberian dog, and a wasp, will ho not take care of you? Will a father have more regard for reptiles than tor his sons and daughters? If God clothes tho grizzly bear, and the panther, and the hyena, will ho not clothe his own children? Come, then, this morning and get the key of the Infinite storehouse. Come and get tho key of the Infinite wardrobe. Here they are—ail the keys. “Ail are yours.” So all the vtelssitudes of this life, so far as they have any religious profit, are in tho right of the Christian. If you should stand among the Alleghany mountains, especially near what is called the “Horsehoe,” you would find a train of cars almost doubling-on itself, and sitting in tho back car you see a locomotive coming as you look out of the window, sod you think it is another train when it is only the front of tho train in which you are riding, and sometimes you can hardly tell whether the train is going toward Pittsburgh or toward Philadelphia, but it is on the track and it will reach the depot for which it started and all the passengers will be discharged at the right place. Now there are a great many sharp curves in Ufa - Sometimes we seem to be going this way and sometimes we seem to be going that way, but if we are Christians we are on the right track and we are going to come out at the right place. Do not get worried, then, aboutthesharpcurve. A sailing vessel starts from New York for Glasgow, Does it go in a straight line? Oh, no. It changes its tack every little while. Now you say, “This vessel instead of gowing to Glasgow must be going to Havre, or it is going to Hamburg, or it is going to Marseilles.” No, no. Itis going toGlasgow. And in this voyage of life we pften have to change our tack. One storm blows us this way and another storm blows us that way, but he who holds the winds in his fist will bring us into a haven of everlasting rest just at the right time. Do not worry, then, If vou have to change tack. One of the best things that ever happened to Paul was being thrown off his horse. One oi the best things that ever happened to Joseph was being thrown into the pit, The losing of his physical eyesight helped John Milton to see the battle of the angels. One of the best things that ever happened to Ignatius was being thrown to the wild beasts in the Coliseum, and while 80,000 people were jeering at his religion he walked up to the fiercest of all the lions and looked him in the eye. as much as to say, “Here I am, ready to be devoured for Christ’s sake.” All things work together for your good. If you walk the desert the manna will fall and the sea will part. If the feverish torch of sickness is kindled over your pillow, by its light vou can read the promises. If the waves oi trouble dash high above your gridle, across the blast and across thesurge you can hear the promise, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thea” Yon nev%r owned a glove, or a shoe, or a hat, or a coat more certainly than you own all the frets and annoyances and exasperations of this life, and they are bound to work out your eternal good. They are the saws, the hammers, the files by which you are to be hewn and cut and smoothed for your eternal well being. Here is a vessel that goes along the coast; it hugs the coast. The captain of that vessel seems chiefly anxious to keep the paint on his ship from being marred or the sails from being torn. When that vessel comes to port nobody looks on it with any interest. But here is a vessel that wont across tho sea with vast product and comes in with vast importation —sails patched, masts spliced, pumps all working to keep out the water: it has come through the hurricane which has sunk twenty steamers. The bronzed men are “cheering among the rigging. Now the men-of-war anchored in the harbor boom forth their welcome through tho portholes. i, So there are some Christians who are having an easy time. It seems to them smooth sailing all the way. When they get into .Heaven there will be no excitement. There will be very few people who will ever findout they are there. But those Christians who have gone tnrough a hundred midnight.hurricanes—storm to the right of them, storm to the left of them, storm all the way—when they come up the harbor of heaven all the redeemed will turn out to greet them hail and welcome. 1 go further and tell you that the Christian owns not only this world, but he owns the next world. No chasm to be leaped, no desert to be crossed. There is tho wall, there Is the gate of Heaven. He owns all on this side. Now lam going to show you that he owns all on the other side. Death is not a ruffian that comes down to burn us out of house and home, destroying the house of the tabernacle so that We should be homeless forever. Oh, no! He is only a black messenger who comas to tell us it is time to move; to tell us to get out of this hut and go up into the palace. The Christian owns all Heaven. "All are yours.” Its palaces of beauty, its towers of strength, its feastles of love. He will not wall in the .eternal city- as a foreigner in a strange city, but as a-farmer walks over his own premises. "AU are yours.” All tho mansions yours. Angels your companions. Treesof life your shade. Hillsof glory your lookout. Thrones of Heaven the place where you will shout the triumph. Jesus is yours. God is yours. You look up into tho taco of God and say “My father.” You look up into tho face of Jesus and sav. “My brother.” Walk* out on tho battlements of Heaven and look off upon the city of the sun. No tears. No sorrow. No death. No smoko of toiling warehouse curling on tho air. No voice of through that bright, clear Sabbath morning. No din of strife jarring the air. Then take out your deed, and remember that from throng to throne, and from wall to wail, and from horizon to horizon, “All are yours.” «

Thon got up into tho temple of the I sun, worshippers In white, each with a I palm branch, and from high gallery of ' that temple look down upon the thousands of thousands, and the ton thousand I times ten thousand, and tho one hundred i and forty and four thousand, and the great “multitude that no man can number,” and louder than tho rush of the wheels, louder than tho tramp of the redeemed, hear a voice saying, “All am yours!” See the great procession marching around Iho'throne of God. Martyrs who went up on wings of flame. Invalids who went up from couches of distress. Tollers who went up from the workhouse and the. factory and the mine. All tho suffering and tho bruised children of God. See tho chariots of salvation; in them those who were more than conquerors. See them marching around about tho throne of God forever and forever, and Know that “all uro yours!” O ye who have pains of body that exhaust your strength and wear out your patience, I hold before you this morning tho land of eternal health and of imperishable beauty and "all Is yours!" () ye who have hard work to get your daily bread, hard work to shelter your children from the storm, I lift before you the vision of that land where they never hunger, and they never thirst; and God feeds them, and robes cover them, and the warmth of eternal love fills them, and all that is yours! Oye whoso hearts are buried in the grave of your dead —O ye whose happiness went by long ago—O ye who mourn for countenances that never will light up and for eyes closed forever —sit no longer among the tombs, but look here! A home that shall never be broken up. Green fields never cleft of the grave. Ransomed one from you parted long ago now radiant with joy that shall never cease, and a love that shall never grow cold, and wearing garments that shall never wither, and know all that is yours. Yours tho love. Yours the acclaim. Yours the'transport. Yours the cry of the four and twenty elders. Yours the choiring of cherubim. Yours the lamb that whs slain. In the vision of that glorious consum-' mation I almost lose my foothold, and have to hold fast lest I be overborne by the glory. The vision rose before St. John on Patmos, and he saw Christ in a blood ted garment, riding on a white horse, and all Heaven following Him on white horses. What a procession! Let Jesus ride. He walked the way footsore weary and faint. Now let Him ride. While horse of victory, bear on our chief! Hosanna to the Son ot David! Ride on, Jesus! Let all Heaven follow Him. These cavalry of God fought well and they fought triumphantly. Now let them be mounted. The pavements of' gold ring under the flying hoofs. Swords sheathed and victories won, like conquerors they sit on their chargers. Ye mounted troops of God, ride on! ride onl ten thousand abreast, cavalcade after cavalcada No blood dashed to the lips. No blood dripping from, the fetlocks. No smoke of battle breathed from the nostril. The battle Is ended—the victory won! Oh. if there be any present who are vet enemies of the cross of Christ, I beseech them at once to be reconciled to God! Remember if you are not found among that white robed army who sol 1 low the Saviour in His victorious march your part must be with those concerning whom it is said, “The Lord Jesns shall be revealed from Heaven in flaming fire, taking vengeance on those that know not God, and obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that belleva” ’ The Greatest of AH. i Mercy, how those fellows eat, how peremptory they were in order, how eager in contemplation, how energetic 1 in cutting up, how vigorous in putting down. They hurry through the opera- ' tion as though they were having a ’ tooth pulled, and the quicker it was over the better. I was particularly struck by one man who finished a pork , pie, a cup of custard, some cold coffee and fifteen or twenty pieces of cheese in less time, I was going to say than it takes to tell it, who asked, while the tumbler was still resting in his mouth and the milk was gurgling down his i throat. “Check, please," and stretching out the other hand for the ticket as he moved away, pressing his fingers into his side pocket for change with which 1 to pay. No wonder liver pills are sold by the billions, no wonder stomach regulators of various sorts and kinds find quick and ready sale, uo wonder doctors retire rich, no wonder, indeed, that our graveyards grow and our cemeteries extend their boundaries year by , year. It apparently makes no difference what time of the year it is, the icy , breath of winter, the sweltering heat of dog-day August, the lassitude breeding fogs of spring, and the pleasant atmosphere of autumn, each in its way inspires appetite and drives the human race pell-mell into the modern restaurants. We have them from the humble doughnut stand on the sidewalk, or, for that matter, a lower grade still, a hot corn man, who sells his fragrant cobs from the curb of the pavement, through many, many, styles and ranks until we reach those gilded palaces where luxury is the normal condition and extravagance the customary rule. The great sin to-day is against the human stomach. Sins against the Ten Commandments, we are told, can be forgiven, sins against human laws can be expatiated, sins against individuals be condoned, but sins against the stomach remain uncanceled and unforgiven. A disordered stomach breeds disease of every sort and kind; it unmans the nerves, it unbalances the brain, it dims the eye, it paralyses the ear and makes life so wretched that the conundrum often rises: “Is it worth while to go through so much to gain so little in the end?’’ Everybody has his nostrum. All tho way from hot water baths inside to red flannel bandages outside; there can be I fonnd doctors, nurses, patent medicine /men, old women who prescribe this, that and the other, John Gilbert, whose stomach is a long one. looks as though he had never been troubled. I envy such as he. I envy Gen. Grant, who smokes from morning until night and drinks from night till morning. I envy Ben. Butler, whose stomach capacity is simply eminent. People talk about Beecher and Beecher’s brain. I concede Beecher and Beecher’s brain, but what gave him one or the other? Without doubt, Beecher's stomach. Next time you see him on the platform, in the. pulpit, or bowling dowjn the street like a tremendous lightning express under full headway, take him in. Look at his magnificent head thickly thatched with whitening hair, see his furrowless forehead, mark the keen glitter of his full bliae’ eye, see the ruddy hot glow rushing through his rosy cJteeks, mark the leonine aspect of hfs entirety. What is it? Brain, muscle, nerve, disposition? Nonsense, it's stomachs. I— New York Letter. Always serve a game supper after a card party-

A Southern California Horse Farm. Ex-Governor Leland Stanford’s breeding farm for horses at Palo Alto, is ono of the moat complete establishments ot the kind in the world. Os tho seventeen hundred acres in the place, ono hundred are occupied by the stable?, barns, and small paddocks. The buildings, at the foot of a gentle riso of ground, make a small city by themselves, inhabited by a population of nearly five hundred, who return hither from their business on the pastures and : race tracks, and have two hundred per- ; sons employed in their domestic scr-: vice. The spacious barns are uniformly . floored and ceiled up with redwood—a ! handsome material, which resembles c.edar in effect. They are strewn with the freshest straw, and kept as neat as the most unexceptionable drawingrooms. Scions from the stock hero raised, which represents the best thoroughbred and trotting Strains in the country, are likely to be a most important influence in improving tho breed of horses throughout the Pacific coast. It was hare that curious experiments were conducted, at the expense of Governor Stanford, for arriving a£ a better understanding of the speed of horses by photographing them in rapid motion. The’ photographer, Muybridge, of San Francisco, succeeded by an ingenious arrangement of electrical wires, communicating at the touch of the animal with cameras already prepared, in securing twelve distinct views of the different stages of a single stride. The attitudes are of the most unexpected and curious sort, some of them highly comic. Great pains are taken in the raising and training of the young colts. From the time of foaling the colts are handled gently and constantly, and are made as familiar with the touch of harness as they are with that of human hands. As a natural consequence they are perfectly tame, gentle, and even affectionate, and never need- breaking. The effect of this system of training has been apparent in the performances of some of the colts which have been publicly speeded against time. The first notable exhibition of speed by a Palo Alto colt was made on the Bay District Association track at San Francisco in 1880, when the two-year-old colt Fred Crocker lowered the record for a onemile trot to 2:25i. Last year Bonita, a two-year-old filly from Palto Alto, cut the record down to 2:24i; and Inter, at the same trotting exhibition, Wildflower, another two-year-old from the same farm, maue the mile in 2:21; and Hinds Rose, a yearling filly, on the same day added to the fame of the farm by cutting down the yearling record to 2<6f. It is asserted that there are colts on the farm which can do even better.—lF. H. Bishop in Harper's Magazine. Earthquakes as Life Preservers. The theory that the earth’s internal heat is a residue of its former molterP condition is losing advocates, and the idea is. gradually gaining ground that the existence of internal heat, as manifested in volcanic action, is due to a secondary cause, i. e., the force of gravity (or in other words, the power of attraction,) which resides in every particle of the earth’s mass. This theory does not gainsay the hypothesis that the earth was once in a molten condition, but, accepting that proposition as true, goes a step farther and argues that the earth, having already reached the limit of the cooling off process, is compressing, the loss of our primal heat having left room for an inward movement of rock substances of the crust, and it is the crushing, grinding action of these gathering particles that produces the intense heat that finds expression in the mighty upheavels in the weaker portions of the earth’s crustburstings forth that change the formation of vast areas, swallow up thousands of human beings, and terrorize mankind. However destructive to life in the concrete earthquakes may influence upon the formation pf the earth’s crust, whereby habitations are formed and maintained for such forms of life’; as flourish only on solids, is essential to the existence of life; and when the day arrives that the particles of the earth, having been compressed to the fullest degree their attractive power will allow, are no longer capable of producing volcanic action, then will the sea encroach upon the land unopposed until island and continent have been ground down to one common level, and there is left not even Ararat upon which man may exist. Biologists agree that the ocean is the mother of life, the shelter and nourishment of the primordial germ, and the . geologist, gazing into the dim perspec- ■ tire of the future, approximates the number of years when the ocean, having swallowed the earth and its inhabitants, will again nourish in its boundless ■ bosom the only terrestrial things that ; 'germinate and breathe.— IT. H. Walker, in Midland Monthly. Opening the Canai. The most acceptable proposition that can be made to persons troubled with chronic constipation. is to open that Important canal—the bowels. That proposition can be carried out by the parties interested if they resort to Hos- I tetter’s Stomach Bitted, the'* most effective, | most genial alterative extant. It is the mis- ; take of many otherwise sensible people, that ; they resort to drastic, or, in other words, vio- < lent purgatives. Without exaggeration, this Is highly injurious, since such medicaments weaken the bowels besides convulsing both them and the stomach wit h pain. Relief sought from the Bitters comes freely enough, but they never produceT>aln. excessive action, or subsequent weakness of the bowels. Liver and kidney trouble, malaria, dyspepsia, lack of stamina and a tendency to rheumatism, are remedied by this pleasant substitute for drenching cathartics. Scaring Birds from yfheat. Some of the farmers of the Eiffel, the district that lies between the frontier of Belgium and tho Rhine, adopt a novel; plan for scaring the birds from the wheat ' A number of, poj®? are set up in the cornfields, and a wire is conducted from ono to another. From the top ot each post there hangs a bell, which is con.nected with the wire. In the vallev a broqk.runs along with a current strongenough to turn a small water-wheel, to which the wire is fastened. As the wheel goes around it jerks the wire, and so the bells in the diffemit fields are set a tinkling. The bells thus run mysteriously trighten the. birds from the grain, and even excite the wonder of men and women until they discover the secret. E. B. WALTHALL & to,.
