DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON. HE GIVES AN ACCOUNT OF HIS OBSERVATIONS ABROAD. Borno Rather Novel Views of tho Cr.ar of Russia and Affairs Generally in That Empire— The Dreadful Famine--mess-lugs on America. Tluf Tnbernaelo Pulpit. The subject of this sermon was, “Observations In Russia and Great Britain.’’ the text selected being Psalm cxxxlx, 9, “It I take the wings ot tho morning and dwell In the uttermost purls of the sea, even there shall thy hand lead me.’’ What an absurd bobk tho Bible must be to a man who has po poetry In his soul! "Wings ot tho morning.” What kind of a bird Is It, and bow long are its wings and of what color? Ah, some of us have seen and felt Its wings. They are golden. They are buoyant. They ark swift. They are widespread. The 15th of last Juno 1 took "the wings of the morning” and started for Europe. June ‘JO, on "the wings of the morning,” I started from Liverpool. July 12, on "tho wings of tho morning,” I entered Germany, the land of Martin Luther aud many of that ilk. living and dead. On "the wings of the morning” I entered St. Petersburg, Russia. On "the wings pf the morning” I entered the palaces of Russia, greeted by the Emperor and Empress, surrounded by a lovely brood of princes and princesses. On "the wings of the morning” I entered Inverness, the capital of the Scottish highlands, country of Robert Burns and Thomas Chalmers—tho one for poetry, the otner tor religion. Sept. 21, on “the wings of tho morning,” I entered the finest hoaven of all tho earth —New York harbor—and looked off toward tho most Interesting place I had seen in three months—l South Oxford street, Brooklyn. Oh, I like "tho wings of tho morning.” I am, by nature and by grace, a son of the morning. I think I must have been born in the morning. I would like to die in the morning. I have a notion that Heaven is only an everlasting morning. In the summer of 1892 ray text was fulfilled to me again and again. "If I take the wings of tho morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea. even there shall thy hand lend me.” Yes, Ho led’ me as Ho always has led mo since I took my first walk from the cradle to ray mother’s lap at Bound Brook until this pulpit where I now stand, and He will lead me until I stop for all time about three miles out yonder, whore the most of you will be my fellow slumberers. You ail know why I went to Russia this summer. There are many thousands of people who have a right to say to me, as was said in tho Bible parable, “Give an account of thy stewardship.” Through Tho Christian Herald, which I have tho honor to edit, wo had for months, in publisher’s, in reportorial and editorial column, put before tho people the ghastly facts concerning 20,000,000 Russians who were starving to death,and subscriptions to the relief fund had come by letters that seemed not so much written with ink as with tears, some of the letters practically saying, “\Vc find ft hard to get bread for our own families, but we cannot stand thiscry of hunger from beyond the seas, and so please to receive tho Inclosed.” And others had sent jewels from their hands and necks saying, “Sell these and turn them into bread.” And another letter said: “Inclosed is an old gold piece. It was my mother’s. She gave it to me and told mo never to part with it except for bread, and now I inclose it” We had gathered 835,000 in money, which we turned into 3,000.000 pounds of flour. When 1 went down to the Board of Trade at Chicago and left 85,000 of the amount raised with a prominent flour merchant, taking no receipt and leaving all to him to do the best thing, and returned, it was suggested that I had not done things in a business way. How could we know what sort of flour would be sent? There are styles of floujTmore fit for the trough of the swine than tho mouths of hungry men and women. Well, as is customary, when the flour camo to New York it was tested, and we found indeed they had cheated us. They gave us better flour than we had bought. I bought in Chicago fine flour, but they sent us superfine. God bless the merchants of Chicago! Now we know nothing about famine in America. Tho grasshoppers may kill tfio drops in Kansas, the freshets may destroy the crops along tho Ohio, the potato worm may kill the vines of Long Island, tho rust may get into tho wheat of Michigan, yet when there has been dreadful scarcity in some parts of the land there has been plenty in other parts. But in districts of Russia, vast enough to drop several nations into them, drought for sTx consecutive years has devastated, and those districts were previously the most productive of all tho empire. It was like what we would nave in America if the hunger fiend somehow got out of hell and alighted in our land, and swept his wing over Minnesota and said, "Let nothing grow here,” and over Missouri and said, "Lot nothing grow here,” and over New Ydrk State and said, “Let nothing grow here,” and over Ohio and Georgia and Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and Nebraska and Dakota and the Carolinas and said, “Lot nothing grow here,” and the hunger fiend had swept the same withering and blasting wing over tho best parts of America In the years 1887. 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1892, and finally all our families were put on small allowance, and we all had risen from the table hungry, and after awhile tho children had only quarter enough, and after awhile only one meal a day, and after awhile no good food at all, but a mixture of wheat and chaff and bark of trees, and then three of tho children down with hunger typhus, l and then all tho family unable to walk, and then crawling on hands and knees, and then one dead in each room, and neighbors, not quite so exhausted, coming in to bury thorn, and afterward the house becoming tho tomb, with nono to carry tho dead to more appropriate sepulcher—whole families blotted out. That was what occurred in Russia in homes more than were ever counted, in homos that were onco as comfortable and happy and bountiful as yours or mine, in homes as virtuous as vours or mine, in homes where God is worshiped as much as in yours or mine. It was to do a little something toward beating back that, archangel of wretchedness and horror that wo went, and wo have now to report that, according to the estimate of tho Russian famine relief committee, we saved tho lives ot 125,000 people. As at the hunger relict stations tho bread was handed out—for it was made Into loaves and distributed—many people would halt before taking it and religiously cross themselves and utter a prayer for the donors. i Why does not some poet ring a canto on a loaf of broad, or some modern Raphael paint it, orsomo historian toll its history? Noticed all over like ; wedding cake, or dotted like many articles of food, pretentious and with fantastic ingredients, but that grandest product of tho earth; that richest yield of the flour mill; that best benediction of a hot oven —a God given loaf of broad. But the rhythm of it, the luxury of it, the meaning of it, the benediction of It, tho divine mercy of It, only those know who have seen a famine. No wonder Christ put this food Into the sacrament and said of a broken loaf of bread, ‘‘Thia Is my body.” Thank God that I ever (aw that transcendent ■ % -J,- ■ * ■ - & J >. ■■ .•

and compact kindness of tho Infinite God —a loaf bread. And It was our Joy this Summer to hand over a ship loud of material for gladdening many thousands of Russians with such a beatitude. But 1 have been asked by good people In Great Britain and America, again and again, Why did not the prosperous people of Russia stop that suffering themselves, making It useless for other nations to help? And I am always glad when I hear the question asked, because ft gives mean opportunity of explaining. Have you any Idea what It requires to feed twenty million of people? There Is onlv one being in tho universe who can do it, and that Is the Being who this morning breakfasted sixteen hundred million of tho human race. The nobility of Russia have not only cbntrluutod most lavishly, but many of them went down and staid for months amid the ghastliness, and tho horror, and tho typhus fever, and tho smallpox that they might administer to the suffering. I sat at the dining table In the house of one of our American Representatives beside a Baroness who had not only Impoverished her estates by her contributions to tho suffering, but who left her own home and went down Into the worsts of the misery, until prostrated with fever, then reviving and tolling on until prostrated with tho smallpox. She had come home to get a little strength, and in a few days she was going down again to the suffering districts, and she commissioned me to execute in America a literary enterprise by which she expects with her pen more money, all of which is to go for bread to those who lack it. Then there are tho Bobrinskies. They are of the nobility—not only of the nobility of earth, but tho nobility of heaven. You know wo have In America certain names which aro synonyms for benevolence—George Peabody. James Lenox, William E. Dodge, Mr. Slater and so on. What their names mean in America Bobrinskl means in Russia. Tho emperor has made larger contributions toward this relief fund than any monarch over made for any cause since tho world stood, and tho superb kindness written all over the faces of emperor and empress and crown prince is demonstrated in what they have already done and aro doing for the sufferers in their own country. When a few days ago I read in the papers that tho emperor and empress hearing an explosion, stopped the royal rail train to find out what accident had occurred, and the empress knelt down by the side of a wounded laborer and held his head until pillows and blankets could bo brought, and the two wounded men were put upon tho royal train to be carried to a place where they could becaredfor, I said to my wife, "Just like her.” When I saw a few days ago in the papers that the emperor and empress had walked through the walls of the most virulent cholera, talking with the patients, shaking hands with them and cheering them np, it was no surprise to me, for I said to myself, "That is just like them.” Any one who has ever seen the royal family will believe, anything in the way of kindness ascribed to them, and will join in the execreation of that too prevalent opinion that a tyrant is on the throne of Russia. If God spares my life I will yet show by facts beyond dispute that the most slandered and systematically lied about nation on earth is Russia, and that no ruler ever lived more for the elevation of his people in education and morals and religion than Alexander the Third. So I put all the three prayers together—God save the president of the United States! God save the queen of England! God save the emperor and empress of Russia! Before passing to the other field of my summer observation I give you one little specimen of the falsehoods about Russia. 1 stood in London with my tickets for St. Petersburg, Russia, in my pocket It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and at 3 o'clock I was to take tho train. An American physician came in and said, “You certainly are not going to Russia,” I said, “Why not?” Then a morning paper was shown me, saying that in St Petersburg there were 2,000 cases of virulent cholera; the city had been divided into hospital districts, and the doctors were at their wits’ end what to do with the number of patients. The population was flying in terror. It was almost as bad in Moscow. While reflecting on these accounts two messages arrived from other friends protesting against the foolhardiness of my rushing into the presence of 2,000 cases of cholera in one city. Os course I baited. 4 1 halted for four days. Meanwhile a telegram from St. Petersburg encouraged me to go. I went. There was not a single case of cholera in St. Petersburg or Moscow, and there was not a single case in either city until four weeks after I left those cities. But tho continental falsehood had done its commercial errand. Tens of thousands of Americans and Englishmen who proposed to summer in Russia turned in other directions. At the large hotel in St Petersburg at which I stopped, though capable of holding 500 guests, and months before every room and every hallway and every mattress and every pillow had been engaged by telegraph by sightseers, all tho orders were canceled, and instead of 500 guests I should think about thirty, and that including our party. And so it was in all the hotels in Northern Russia, and the subtraction of that amount of commercial profit from those cities you may imagine. But tho whole subject of systematic fabrication I adjourn to some other hour. But I mult also give a word of report concerning my other errand —the preaching ot the Gospel in Great Britain last summer. It was a tour I had for many years anticipated. With tho themes of tho Gospel I confronted more people than ever before in the same length of time — multitudes after multitudes, and beyond anything I can describe. The throngs in all the cities were so great that they could be controlled only by platoons of police, so that none should be hurt by tho pressure, each service indoors followed by a service for tho waiting throngs outdoors, and both by handshakings to the last point of physical endurance. From tho day in which<%J arrived at noon in Liverpool, and that night addressing two vast assemblages, until I got through mv evangelistic journey, it was a Scone of blessing to my own sou) and I hope to others. I missed but three engagements of all the summer, and those from being too tired to stand up. At all tho assemblages large collections were taken—tho money being given to local charities, feeble churches, orphan asylums or Young Men's Christian Associations—my services being entirely gratuitous. But what a summer! There must have been much praying hero and elsewhere for my welfare, or no mortal could have gone through all I went through. | In every city and town I had messages poured into ray ears for families in America. Oh, sons of Scotchmen, Englishmen, Welshmen and Irishmen,there aro hearts on the other side of the sea beating in affection for you and praying fbr your present a,nd eternal welfare. They wanted mo to give you their love, and here it is by the wholesale, for I cannot give it by retail. Disappoint not tho old folks on the other Side of the Atlantic. You will probably never see them again in this world. Their hair is whitening. and their step is not as firm as when you saw them last. So live that you may meet them in heaven. Write home often,and while you know they are praying for you, do not forget to remetuber

In yonr prayers those who wore your first friends, and friends than whom you will never have better—l mean your old father aud mol her. By tho memories of the old Scotch kirk, where you were baptized, and of tho English fireside,by which you played, and of the Welsh bills and valleys,among which you roamed, and tho old homos on tho banks of tho Tweed and tho Shannon and tho Clyde, I charge you bo honorable and true and Christian. You have good ancestral blood in vour veins. Prove yourself worthy. It seems to mo that tho Gospel Is making mighty strides over there. Only one thing I saw in tho chapels and churches I did not like. That Is a lack of appreciation of each other as between the national church and tho dissenters. Npw each Is doing a great work that the other cannot do. God speed them all— they of tho episcopacy and they of tho dissenters! Some need tho ritual of the national church and others thO spontaneity of tho Wesleyan. In tho kingdom of God there Is room for all to work and each In his own way. Some people aro born Episcopaliansand others Baptists and others Presbyterians, and do not let us force our notions on others. As for myself, I was born so near the line, that 1 tecl us much at home in one denominaion as another, and when in tho Episcopal church the liturgy stirs my soul so that I cannot keep back the tears, and It overwhelms mo with its solemnity and its power. When in an old fashioned Methodist church the responses of “Amen!” and "Halleluiah!” lift mo until, like Paul, I am In blessed bewilderment as to "whether in the body or out of the body, God knoweth.” And as for tho Baptists, though I have never been anything but sprinkled, I have immersed hundreds and expect to Immerse hundreds more In tho baptistry under this pulpit where I now stand. What is the use of controversy about anything except how we shall keep close to tho cross and do the most for helping people for this world and the next? May there come in England more cordiality between the national church and the dissenters. Although I would be called a dissenter there, almost my first step in England was into a banqueting hall—the lord mayor’s banquet, givefl to tae bishops and high officials of the national church, the great and good and genial archbisnop of Canterbury at their head, and a more magnificent group of folks, intellectually and spiritual!v, I never got among, and I found that though we had never met before the archbishop and myself wore old friends. But ail up and down Great Brltiau I found a multitude that no man can number enlisted for God and eternity, and I tell you the kingdom is coming. If the pessimists would get pnt of tho

way—the people who snivel and groan and think everything has cone to the dogs or is about to go—l say if these pessimists would only get out of the way, the world would soon see tiie salvation of God. Christianity is only another name for elevated optimism. Was Isaiah an optimist? See his deserts incarnadined with red roses and snowed under with white lilies and his lamb asleep between the paws of a lion. Was St. John an optimist? Read tlie uplifting splendors in the Apocalypse and tho hallelujah chorus with which the old book, which they cannot kill. Closes. The greatest thine I can think of would be to have a triple alliance of America, England, and Russia in complete harmonization, and then to have upon All of them come a deluge of the Holy Ghost. Let the defamation of other nations cease. Peace and good will to men! Eor that glorious consummation, which may be nearer titan wethink, letus pray, remembering that God can do more in five minutes than man can do in five centuries. If the consummation is not effected in our day I shall ask the privilege of coming out from Heaven a little while to look at this old world when it shall have pnt on its millennial! beauty. I think God will let us come out to see it at least once in its perfected state before it is burned up. ___ I should not wonder if all heaven would adjourn for an excursion to this world to see how a shipwreck planet was got off the breakers and set afloat again amid the eternal harmonies. Meanwhile let us do all we can to make it better, and it will somehow tell in the final result, though it be only a child's sob hushed, or a trickling tear wiped fiopi a pale face, or a thorn extracted from a tired foot, or a sinful so”l washed white as the wool. May God help'us to help others! And so these lessons of gratitude and sympathy and helpfulness and vindication I have brought you on the wings of this morning.

How to Get a Farm from Uncle Sam. There are -four principal methods of acquiring land from the Government, namely, homesteading, pre-emption, tree-culture and purchase. The Timber-culture act is liberal in ita provisions. Under it any person may get a farm of IGO acres or less. He may do this, and also acquire title to another IGO acres, under the Homestead or Pre-emption law, but he cannot make use of both the homestead and pre-emption methods, except in the Territories, nor can he use either of thope methods twice. If the tree-claim contains the maximum entry of 160 acres, at least live acres must be plowed within one year from date of entry; the second year live acres must be cultivated and another live acres plowed; the third year. the first five acres must be planted in timber, seeds or cuttings, and the second five acres cultivated; the fourth year the second five acres must be planted in timber, seeds or cuttings, making at the end of the fourth year ten acres thus planted. These must be carefully cultivated and protected for four years more, at the end of which time, on making duo proof that at least 2,700 trees were planted upon each acre, and at the time of making proof at least 675 thrifty trees are growing upon each acre, a patent for the land may •be obtained. Perfect good faith must bo observed. H the trees, or any of them, are destroyed one year they must be replanted the next. If grasshoppers of drought destroy the trees, seeds ot cuttings, for one year or a term of years, the time for planting is extended one year for every year that they are sc destroyed. The Land Office fee for entry of IGO acres is sl4. Only Western prairie or treelees lands may be taken by this method. The trees planted must bo those properly called timber trees, and among these the cottonwood is recognized. Something New in Woman Suffrage. Senator Vest, of Missouri, a redfaced, wise and witty old boy, who hates frauds as much as any man I ever saw, and loves a drink, was approached by suffrage-begging females. They contended, in the usual style, that the woman was the equal of the man. and ought to hold oilice—any office, Senator, Governor, Postmaster, Justice of the Peace or constable, anything, indeed. “Great heavens I" said Vest, “do you mean that?'’ “Yes," they answered. "Now, just think of it. Think of a man going home and kissing a Justice of the Peace, or telling a friend that he was in love with a constable. It is dreadful!”— Philadelphia Press.

Tho Snltmi’fl Day’s Work. A (alary of 810,00(1 a day would apl pear to those who have but few wants a I nice competency. That is the daily wages of Abdul Hamid, and no sovereign earns his money harder. Out of that sum he has, moreover, to pay for bis own board, fire, and candles, his lodgings alone are free; so that considering the footing on which his establishment is placed, bo must be a man of order and economy to make both ends meet with so small an income at his command. There is, indeed, no more diligent or active man in his empire than the sultan, and it is literally true of him to sav that ho cats his bread in tho sweat of his brow. He gives personal audience to everyone who applies for it, whenever it is possible; when not, his first adjutant gives audience for him. The 000 wives of Abdul-Aziz have vanished and Abdul Hamid finds it as much as he can do to meet tho milliner’s bills of a poor three dozen spouses. This scanty harem leaves him a good deal more time for devotion and state business. He leaves his apartment betimes, and bathes the prison of his soul in tepid water, after which ho stretches himself full length upon a carpet and breathes a silent morning prayer. Ho then drinks a cup of chocolate and proceeds immediately after to tho affairs of the state. Dispatches are received and sent, reports examined and approved of, expenses consented to, decorations granted, ministers and ambassadors received, and that goes on for several hours. Toward noon a second carpet is spread at tho feet of the ruler of the faithful, whereon he prays again, and then takes his second breakfast. After that he goes out for a drive, and when he returns he is at the disposal of his family and the inhabitants of the palace. He gives audience to his brothers and sisters, listens to the report of the household officers, confers with the chief of the eunuchs on all sorts of delicate subjects and gives him his orders. The irnaum. or chaplain of the palace, also comes in the evening, and the sultan prays or reads some pious book with him. Three times in the week the sultan takes lessons on the piano from a French teacher—that is, he listens to his teacher playing a few morceaux, but never plays a single scale , himself. Later in the evening he dispatches more state business, and then an hour before midnight he, accompanied only by the chief of the eunuchs, retires to the mysterious recesses of the harem.— Exchange.

His Regular Business. According to tho Hour, young Rounceville was very much in love with Ida Mumfey. Rounceville was manly, J dressed well, danced gracefully, and, ! more than all, was an excellent talker, I being famous for his brilliant and en- | tertaining conversation. He had not 1 yet proposed to the young lady, but in I order to meet her at one party gave up another very large and brilliant one at Wedgewood Hendrick’s, at which Mr. Prodder was present. Prodder had always said that Rounceville was a good fellow, but could not afford to marry, and positively forbade his daughter to become interested in the young man. At the party just mentioned Rounceville determined to offer himself to Miss Ida, tell her frankly that he was poor, < and leave* his fate in her hands. When he had spoken to her alone in a little side-room, and she replied by putting her hand on his shoulder, he knew that he had lost nothing by his candor. Just then the couple heard Prodder and Mumfey in low conversation outside the alcove. “All there is about him is just this,” Prodder said. “I was telling young Perk I wished I could find some bright fellow like himself to come to my wife's birthday party and stir up the stupid folks a little. He named Rounceville and said I could hire him at $25 a night, that being his regular business. He's gone back on Mrs. Wedgewood Hen- • driyk to-night, and lost $25 just to see ; your daughter. What can you think of such a fellow^ 1 ” “Why, I think he must care a good deal for the girl,” exclaimed Mumfey. “When I was a young fellow I cared more for $25 than all the girls alive.” As soon as the conversation ceased for a moment the young man turned toward the girl and whispered; ls all true,” and Ida threw her arm's around Rounceville's neck. “Well, what are you going to do'about it?” The couple heard Prodj der ask. “I'm going to say ‘yes,’ if he asks me j for my daughter,” said Mumfey*, “and ’ I’m going to offer him a half interest in my business. Young fellows that can make themselves agreeable, even when they’re paid for it, are hard to find, and j those that care more for a decent girl ■ than they do for upperyirust society j and a $25 job are scarcer.” Uses of Sweet Oil.
