DIL TALMAGE’S SERMON. THE GREAT PREACHER BPEAKB OF "THE FINGER OF GOD.” An Extremely Interesting unit Instructive Hermon, Preceded by the Hymn, “God Moves In u Mysterious Wuy His Wonder, te Perform.” At the Tabernacle. Dr. Talmage’s sermon was on the text Exodus vlll, 19, ‘‘The Finger of God.” Pharaoh was sulking In his marble thronerooin at Memphis. Plague after plague bad come, and sometimes the Egyptian monarch was disposed to do bettor, but at the lifting of each plague ho was as had as before. The necromancers of tho palace, however, were compelled to recognize tho Divine,movement, and after one of tho most exasperating plagues of all the series they cried out In tho words of my “This Is tho finger of God"—not the first nor tho last time when bad people said a good thing. An old Philadelphia friend visiting me tho other day asked mo if I hud ever noticed this passage of Scripture from which I to-day speak. I told him no, and I said right away, “That is a good text fora sermon.” We all recognize tho hand of God and know it is a mighty hand, You have seen a man koeptwoor three rubber balls flying in the air, catching and pitching them so that none of them fell to the floor, and do this for several minutes, and yon have admired his dexterity. But have you thought how the hand of God keeps millions and millions of round worlds vastly larger than our world flying for centuries without letting one fall? Wondrous power and skill of God's hand! But about that I am not to discourse. My text leads me to speak of less than a fifth of the Divine hand. “This is the finger of God.” Only in two other places does tho Bible refer to this division of tho Omnipotent hand, The rocks on Mount Sinai are basalt and very hard stone. Do you imagine It was a chisel that cut the ten commandments in that basalt? No; in Exodus we read that tho tables of stone were “written with the finger of God." Christ says that he cast out devils with “the finger of God.” The'only instance that Christ wrote a word Ho wrote not with a pen on parchment, but with his finger on the ground. Yet though so seldom reference is made in tho Bible to a part of God’s hand, if you-and I keep our eyes open and our hearts right, wo will bo compelled often to cry out, “This is tho finger of God!” It is my intention before long to begin a series of sermons on “The Astronomy of the Bii.le, or God Among tho Stars,” “The Ornithology of the Bible, or God Among tho Birds;” “Tho Pomology of the Bible, or God Among the Orchards;” “The Ichthyology of the Bible, or God Among the Fishes;” “The Geology of the Bible, or God Among tho Rocks;" “The Waters of the Bible, or God Among the Seas;” “Tho Zoology of the Bible, or God Among tho Beasts;” “Tho Precious Stones of the Bible, or God Among tho Amethysts;” "The Conchologv of the Bible, or God Among the Shells;” “The Botany of the Bible, or God Among the Flowers;” “The Chronology of the Bible, or God Among the Centuries,” and I want this coming winter to get you and get myself into the habit of seeing the finger of God everywhere and In everything; but this mornlug I want to induce you to look for the flnver of God In your personal affairs. To most of us gesticulation is natural. If a stranger accost you on the street and ask you the way to some place, it is as natural as to breathe for you to level your forefinger this way or that Not one out of a thousand of you would stand with your bands by your side and make no motion with your finger. Whatever you may say with your lips is emphasized and re enforced and translated by your finger. Now tot in the dear old Books says to us innutnterable things Dy tho way of direction. Ho plainly tells us the way to go. But In every exigency of our life, if we will only look, we will find a providential gesture and a providential pointing, so that wo may confidentially say, “This is the linger of God." Two or three times in my life, when perplexed on questions ofduty after earnest prayer, I have cast lots as to what I should do. In olden times the Lord’s people cast lots. The laud of Canaan was divided by lot. The cities were divided among the priests and Levites by lot Matthias was chosen to the apostleship by lot Now casting lots is about the most solemn thing you can do. It should never be done except with a solemnity like that pl the last judgment. It is a direct appeal to the Almighty. If after earnest prayer you do not seem to get the divine direction, I think yon might without sin write upon one slip of paper •■Yes" and upon another “No,” dr some other decisive words appropriate to the case, and then obliterating from your mind tho identity of the slips of paper draw the decision and act upon it. In that case 1 think you have a right to take that indication as the finger of God. But do not do-that except as tho last resort and .with a devoutness that leaves absolutely al) with God. For much that concerns us we have no responsibility, and we need not make appeal to the Lord for direction. Wo are not responsible for most of our surroundings. We are not responsible for the country of our birth, nor for whether wo are Americans or Norwegians or Scotchmen or Irishmen or Englishmen. Wo are not responsible for the age in which wo live. Wo are not responsible for our temperament, be it nervous or phlegmatic, bilious or sanguine. Wo are not responsible for our features, be they homely or beautiful. We are not responsible for the height or smallness of cur stature. We are not responsible for the fact that wo are mentally dull or brilliant. For the most of our environments we have no more responsibility than we have for the mollusks at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Oh, I am so glad that there are about five hundred thousand things that wo are not responsible fori Do not blame us for being in our manner cold as an iceberg, or nervous as a cat amid a pack of Fourth of July firecrackers. If you are determined to blame somebody, blame our great-grandfathers or greatgrandmothers, who died before the Revolutionary who may have had habits depressing and ruinous. There are wrong things about us all. which make me think that one hundred and fifty years ago there was some terrible crank in ou<- ancestral line. Realize that, and It will be a relief semi-lntinltc. Let us take ourselves as we are this moment, and then ask "Which way?” Get al) tho direction you can from careful and constant study of the Bi • le, and then look up and look out and look around, and see if you can find the finger of God. It is a remarkable thing that sometimes no one can nee that finger but yourself. A year before Abraham Lincoln signed the proclamation of emancipation the White House was thronged with committees and associations, ministers and layinen, advising the President to make that proclamation. But he watted and waited amid scoff and anathema, because he did, not himself see the finger of God. After awhile and at just the right time ho saw the divine pointing and signed the proclamation. The distinguished Confederates, Mason and Slidell, were taken off an English vessel by the United States Government.

"Don't give them up." shonted nl) tho Northern Status. “Lot us have war with England rather than surrender them." was the almost un.iblmous cry of the North. But William H. Howard saw tho linger of God leading In just the oppus Ito direction and tho Confederates woie given up, and we avoided a war with England which at that time would have been tho demolition of tho United States Government. In othor words, the finger of God as It directs you, may bo Invisible to everybody else. Follow tho divine pointing, as you see it, although the world may call you a fool. There Ims never been a tnan or a woman who amounted to anything that has not soinetiinis been t ailed a fool. Nearly .all the mistakes that you and I have made have come from our following the pointing of some other finger, instead off tho finger of God. But, now, suppose all forma of disaster close In upon a man. Suppose his business collapses. Suppose ho buys goods and cannot sell them. Suppose by a new Invention others can furnish tho same goods act less price. Suppose a cold spring or a late autiuun or the com Ing of an epidemic corners a man, and his notes coine due and ho cannot meet them, and his rent must be paid and there Is nothing with which to pay it. and tho wages of tho employes are due and thorn is nothing with which to'meet that obligation, and tho bank will not discount, and tho business friends to whom he goes for accommodation are in tho same predicament, and be bears up and struggles on, until, after awhile, crash goes the whole concern. Ho stands wondering and saving: “I do not see the meaning of all thia. I have done the best I could. God knows I would pay my debts if I could, but here lam hedged in and stopped.” What should that man do In that case—go to the scriptures and read tho promise about all tilings working together for good and ,kindred passages? That is well. But ho needs to do something besides reading the Scriptures.- Ho needs to look for the finger of God that is pointing toward better treasures; that is pointing toward eternal release; that is urging him to higher realms. No human finger ever pointed to the east or west or north or south so certainly as tho finger of God is pointing that troubled' man to higher and better spiritual resources than he has fiver enjoyed. There are men of vast wealth who are as rich for heaven as they are for this world, but they are exceptfons. if a man grows ing/ace it is generally before be gets 8100,000 or after he lo?es it. If a man has plenty of railroad securities and has applied to bis banker for more; if tho lots he bought- have gone up 50 percent in value; if he had hard work to get the door of fiis fireproof safe shut because of a new roll of securities he put in there just'before locking up at niah’; if he be speculating in a falling market or a rising rnaruct and things take for him a right turn, he does not grow in grace very much that week. Do you know what made tho great revival of 1857, when more people were converted to God probably than in any year since Christ was born? It was the defalcations and bankruptcy that swept American prosperity so flat that it could tall no flatter. I am speaking of whole soulcd men. Such men are so broken by calamity that they are hum led and fly to God for relief. Men who have no spirit and never expect anything are much affected by financial changes. Thev are as apt to go into the kingdom under one set of circumstances as another. They are deadbeats wherever tiiey arc. The only way to get rid of them is to lend them a dollar and vou will never see them again. I have tried that plan and it works well. But lam speaking of the effect of misfortune on high spirited men. Nothing but trial will turn such men from earth to heaven. It is only through clouds and darkness and whirlwind of disaster such men can see tho finger of God. M’udons also would do well to watch for the finger of God. What does the cholera scare in America mean? Some say it means that the plague will sweep our land next summer. Ido not believe a word of It. There will le no cholera i here next summer. Four or five summers ago there were those who said it would surely be here the following summer because it was on tho way. But it did not come. Tho sanitary precautions established here will make next summer tin usually healthful. Cholera never starts from where it stopped the season before, but always starts in tho filth of Asia, and if it starts next summer, it will start there again—lt will not start from Now York quarantine. But it is evident to me that tho finger of God is in this cholera scare, and that He is pointI ing this nation to something higher and ! better. It has been demonstrated as never before that we are in the hands of God. He allowed the plague to come to our very gates then halted IL I rejoice that there are many encouraging signs for our nation, and one is that this presidential campaign has less malignity and abu*e than any presidential campaign since we have been a nation, Turn over to the oictorials and the columns of the political sheets of the presidential excitements all the wav back, and see what contumely Washington and Jefferson and Madison and Monroe and Jackson went through. Now see the almost entire absence of all that The political orators 1 notice this vear are apt to begin by eulogizing the honesty and good intentions of the opposing candidate, and say that ho. is better than his party. Instead of vitriol, camomile flowers. That we seem to have escaped tho degradation of the usual quadrennial billingsgate is an encouraging fact Perhaps this betterment may have somewhat resulted from the sadness hovering over the home of one of vhe candidates—a sadness in which the whole nation sympathizes. Perhaps we have been so absorbed in paying honors to Christopher Columbus that wo have forgotten to anathematize the prominent men of the present No man in this country is fully honored until he is dead. Whatever be the reason, this nation bas escaped many of the horrors that ordinarily accompany tho presidential contest But let us not pause too long in hilarity about the present and forgot the fact that there are not only temporal possibilities far greater than those attained, but higher moral and religious possibilities. The God of our fathers is the God of their children, and His finger points us to a higher national career than many have yet suspected. For our churches, ow schools, our i-olleges, our institutions of mercy, tho best days are yet to come. But notice that this finger of Gpl almost always and In almost everything points forward and not backward. All the way through the Bible, the limb and pigeon on the altar, tho pillar of fire poised above the wilderness, peace offering, sin offering, trespas^offering.fingers of Joseph and Isaac and Joshua and ; David and Isaiah and Micah and Ezekiel, altogether made tjhe one linger of God pointing to the human, the divine, the gracious, the glorious, the omnipotent, the gentle, the pardoning and suffering and atoning Christ And now tho same finger of God is pointing tho world upward to tho same Redeemer and forward to the time of his universal domination. My hearers, get out of the habit of looking back and looking down, and look up and look forward. It is useful onco in awhile to look t ack, but you had better for tho most part of your time, stop reminiscence and begin anticipation. We have none ot us hardly begun ye.

Last summer I saw Moscow, in some respects the most splendid city under tile sun. The emperor afterward asked in» if I had seen it, for Mosco® is the pride of Russia. I told him yes, and that I had seco Moscow burn. 1 will tell you what it meant After examining 900 brass cannons wliicu were picked out of the snow after Napoleon retreated from Moscow,each cannon deep cut with the letter "N,” I ascended a tower of some two hundred and fifty feet just before sunset, and on each platform there were bells, large and small, and I climbed up among the bells, and then as I reached the top all the bells underneath me began to ring, and they were joined by tho bells of 1,400 towers and dottles and turrets. Some of the Leila sent out a faint tinkle of sound, a sweet tintinnabulation that seemed to bub. le in the ■ air, and others thundered forth boom after boom, boom after boom, until it seemed to shake the earth and fill the heavens—sounds so weird, so sweet, so awful, so grand, so charming, so tremendous, so soft., so rippling, so reverberating—and they seemed to wreathe and whirl and rise and sink and burst and roll and mount and die. When Napoleon saw Moscow burn, it could not have been more brilliant than when I saw all the fourteen hundred turrets aflame with tho sunset, roofs of gold and walls of malachite, and architecture of all colors mingling the irrown of autumnal forests, and the blue of summer heavens, and the conflagrittfon of morning skies, and the green of rich meadows, and the foam of tossing seas. The mingling of so many colors with so many sounds was an entrancement almost too much for human nerves, or human eyes, or human ears. I expect to see nothing to equf.l it until vou and I see heaven. But that will surpass it and make the memory of what 1 saw that J uly evening in Moscow almost, tame and insipid. All heaven aglow and all heaven a ring not in the sunset, but in the sunrise. Voices of our own kindred mingling with the doxologies of empires. Organs of eternal worship responding to the trumpets that have wakened Hie dead. Nations in white. Centuries in coronation. Anthems like the voice of many waters. Circle of martyrs. Circle of apostles. CJrcle of prophets. Thrones of cherubim. Thrones of seraphim. Throim of archangel. Throne of Christ Throne of God. Thrones! Thrones! Thrones! The finger of God poinks that way. Stop not until you reach that place. Through the atoning Christ all I speak of and more may be yours and mine. Do you not now hear the chime of the bells of that metropolis of lhe universe? Do you not see the shimmering of'the towers? Good morn,a* ' Teaching Boys Business Habits.

Silent Music. Tn the orchestra of a small theater in Munich wore two musicians who each played a trombone. The audience had been often charmed with, tho perfect regularity of tho movements of those musicians. Both of these accomplished trombonerw—if we may use such a won) —wet e in the habit of not only looking at, but of actually imbibing tho wine when it was red. The first tromboner was of a particularly convivial nature. Ono evening, having been to a dinner Sarty, ho became very much intoxicated. [e forgot entirely that a now opera was to l>e performed that evening, and that, of course, his services would l>e required. When ho wm reminded by a courier from the theater that he was to play on the troml>ono that night, at first ho was in despair. He, however, was sober enough to engage the services of a sul>stitute, but, as he could not find one who could play the he had to resort to strategy. He told the substitute not to try to blow at all. “All you have to do,” said the intoxicated musician, “is to put the mouth-piece to your mouth, puff out your cheeks, and, keeping your eye on the second’s trombone, push the slide out and in just as he does. Keep exact time with him in working the slide, and nobody will ever know that you are not making music with the instrument.” Tlio substitute promised to do as he was told, and took his place in the orchestra by the side of the second tromboner. For a while, as long as the orchestra was in full blast, he got along very well. There were so many instruments in the band that nobody noticed the failure of the substitute to make any noise. He puffed out Ids cheeks and worked the slide of the instrument out and in in perfect time with the second tromboner. In the second part, however, the music called for a trombone solo. Tho two tromboners were to execute a piece without other instrumental accompaniment. All eyes were f.xed on the tromboners, who puffed out their cheeks, and worked the slides of of the instruments up and down most industriously, but in spite of their efforts a dead silence was the only result—a silence so oppressive that the audience could distinctly hear the aching of a soft com on the musical director’s left foot. Not a sound escaped from either instrument. The director danced about and waved his baton frantically at the two tromboners,but all to no purpose, for, although they” puffed, and kept on shooting the slides out and in, not a sound escaped. The audience was astonished and the other musicians dismayed. Then the astonishing phenomenon was explained, and it was found that the second tromboner, unknown to the first one, had also got drunk, and had likewise hired a substitute who did not know how to play, and he instructed him just as No. 1 instructed his substitute, to puff out his cheeks and follow the motions of liis* partner. Ta«ks That Must Pe Done. Natrrihas assigned Important tasks to the liver and the bowels, and being mutually dependent upon each other for the regular and adequate discharge of these tasks, a cessation of work by one causes the other to lapse into Inactivity. The tasks of secretion and evacuation must be performed, or the system Is poisShcd and disordered. Moreover, fatal inflammatftlfMf the bowels or abscess of the liver are apt to ensue if inaction of these organs is allowed to go unheeded. The dangerous tendency should be checked at tin outset with Hot’tetter's Stomach Ritters, an anti-billow specific and laxative without a peer. Never does this medicine cause a qualm of the stogi* ach or uneasiness of the bowels. It does its reformatory work pleasantly though with reasonable activity. It ] r vents malaria and rheumatic disease, kidney complaints, and relieves dyspepsia and nervousness. Water. An average of five feet of water is estimated to fall annually over the whole earth, and, assuming that condensation takes place at an average heisrhtof three thousand feet, scientists conclude that the fcrce of evaporation to supply such rainfall must equal the lifting of three hundred and twenty-two million pounds of water three thousand feet in every mixite, or about three hundred billion horse power constantly exerted. Os this prodigious amountofenergy thus created a very small proportion is transferred to the waters that run back through rivers to ihe sea, and a still smaller fraction is utilized by man; the remainder is dissipated in space.

Y. f Two Great Remedies. The human citadel is open to attacks from two sour es, and, aside from accidents, these two are the avenues from which all of the maladies that afflict the race spring. The first of these are what are known as the excretory organs. These are the lungs, the kidneys, and the skin. These suffer from congestion, which takes the form of colds. Starting from wha? is called a cold, the maladies that re-, suit are widespread, ranging from a cough to consumption. They attack all ages and all stations. No one is free from these troubles. There is, however, a remedy that is a safeguard. This is Reid’s German Cough and KidneyCuke. Itcontains nopoison, but it will heal any form of lung trouble, or any malady that arises from a cold. The other, class of diseases arise from derangement of the digestive organs, and result in constipation. When the bowels do not act, the stomaih soon refuses to digest the food, and we are Doubled with indigestion, fever, and a long train of disoiders that embrace a wide range of maladies. Tha Laxative Gum-Drops will correct any difficulty of this sort. They contain nothing deleterious, tut are safe and pleasant. Get them of any dealer.
