IT IS GOD'S RAIN.

A. Practical Lesson Drawn From the Signal Service.

Che Bible Strident Should Not Wado in Tvo Deep—A Silver Lining to the Darkest Cloud.

Rev. Dr. Talmage preached at Brooklyn last Sunday. Subject: "Hath the Rain a Father?" Text, lob xxxviii, 28. He said:

This Eook of Job has been the subject of unbounded theological wrangle Men have made it the rinjf in which to display their ecclesiastical pugilism. Some say that the Book of Job is a true history others, that it is an allegory others, that it is an epic poem, others, that it is a drama. Some say that Job lived eighteen hundred years before Christ others say that he never lived at all. Some say that the author of this book was Job others, David others, Solomon. The discussion has landed some in blank inlidelity. Now, I have no trouble with the Books of Job or Revelation—the two most mysterious books in the Bible—because of a rule adopted some years ago.

I wade down into a Scripture passage as loug as I can touch bottom, *nd when 1 can not: then I wado out. used to wade in until it was over ny head and then I got drowned. I study a passage of Scripture as long as it is a comfort and help to my soul but when it becomes a perplexity and a spiritual upturning I quit. In other words, we ought to wade in up to our heart, but never wade in jntil it is over our head. No man should ever expect to swim across Shis great ocean of divine truth. I down into that ocean as I go down mto the Atlantic Ocean at East Hampton, Long Island, just far enough to bathe then I come out. I never had any idea that with my weak hand and foot I could strike my way clear over to Liverpool.

I suppose you understand your family genealogy. You know something about your parents, your grandparents, your great-grandpar-ents. Perhaps you know where they were born, or where they died. Have f.ou ever studied the parentage of the shower? "Hath the rain a fath«r?" This question is not asked by a poetaster or a scientist, but by the aead of the Universe. To humble and to save Job, God asks him fourteen questions: about the world's ar:hitecture, about the refraction of the sun's rays, about the tides,about the snow crystal, about the lightnings, and then He arraigns him with the interrogation of the text: "Hath the rain a father?" With the scientific wonders of the rain I have aothing to do. A minister goes through with that kind of sermons ftrithin the first three years, and if ae has piety enough he gets through arith it in the first three months. A ana .sereton has come to me to mean one word of four letters: ''Help!" You ill know that the rain is not an orphan. You know it is not cast out "if the gates of heaven a foundling. ¥ou would answer the question of my text in the affirmative. Safely soused during the storm, you hear the rain beating against the windo»v pane, and you lind it searching all the crevices of the window sill. It

Srst comes down in solitary drops, pattering the dust, and then it del- }}•. ages the fields and angers the moptain torrents, and makes the traveled er implore shelter. You know that 5$ the rain is not an accident of the world's economy. You know it was ff born of the cloud. You know it was rocked in the cradle of the wind.

You know it was sung to sleep by the storm. You know that it is a fiying evangel from heaven to earth. You know it is the gospel of the weather. You know that God is its father.

If this be true, then, how wicked ts our murmuring about climatic changes. The first eleven Sabbaths after I entered the ministry it stormed. Through the week it was clear weather, but on the Sunday the Did country meeting house looked like Noah's Ark before it landed. A few drenched people sat before the drenched pastor: but most of the farmers stayed at home and thanked God that what was bad for the church ras good for the crops. I committed a good deal of sin in those days in denouncing the weather. Ministers of the Gospel sometimes fret about the stormy Sabbaths, of hot Sabbaths or inclement Sabbaths. They forget the fact that the same God who ordained the Sabbath and sent forth His ministers to announce salvation, also ordained the weather. "Hath the rain a father?"

Merchants, also, with their stores tiled with new goods and thoir clerks hanging idly around the corners, commit the same transgression, fhere have been seasons when the whole spring and fall trade has been ruined by protracted wet weather. The merchants then examined the weather probabilities with more interest than they read their Bibles. They watched for a patch of blue ukj. They went complaining to the fctare, »nd came complaining home Lgain. In all that season of wet feet aod dripping garments and impass-ao«-i streets they never once asked Lhe quesaion, "''Hath the rain a father?" agriculturists commit this sin. There is nothing more aunoying than to have planted corn rot in the ground because of too much moisture, or hay all ready for the mow dashed of a shower, or wheat almost ready for the sickle spoiled with the rust. How hard it is to bear the afjricultKrrfl disappointments. God nas infinite resources, but I do not l-.lnk

has capacity to make

weather to please all the farmers. Sometimes it is too hot, or it is too cold it is too wet, or it is too dry it is too early, or is it too late. They forget that the God who promised seed time and harvest, summer and winter. Cold and heat, also ordained all the climatic changes. There is one question that ought to be written on every barn, on every fence, on every hay-stack, on every farm: *'Hath the rain a father?"

If we only knew what a vast enterprise it is to provide appropriate weather for this world we would not be so critical of the Lord. Isaac Watts, at 10 years of age, complained that ho did not like the hymns that were sung in the English Chapel. "Well," said his father, "Isaac, instead of your complaining about the hymns, go and make hymns that are hotter." And he did go and make hymns that were bettor. Now I say to you, if 3'ou do not like the weather, get up a weather company have a President and Secretary and a Treasurer and a Board of Directors and SI0.000,000 of stock, and then provide wcaUior that will suit all oi us. There is a man who has a -veak head, and he cannot stand the glare of the sun. You must always have a cloud hovering over him. I like the sunshine I can not live without plenty of sunlight, so you must always have enough light for me.

Tvo ships meet in midatlantie. The one is going to Southampton and the other is coming to NewYork. Provide weather that, while I is abaft for one ship, it is not a head wind for the other. There is a farm that is drying up for lack of rain, and here is a pleasure party roing out for a field excursion. Provide weather that will suit the dry farm and the pleasure excursion. No. sirs, I will not take one dollar of stock in your weather company. There is only one being in the universe who knows enough to provide the right kind of weather for this world/ "Hath the rain a father?"

My text also suggests God's minute supervisal. You see the Divine Sonship in every drop of rain. The jewels of the shower are not flung away by a spendthrift who knows not how many he throws or where they fall. They are all shining princes of heaven. They all have an eternal lineage. They are all the children of a King. "Hath the rain a father?" Well, then, I say if God takes notice of every minute raindrop he will take notice of the mo:,t insignificant affair of my life. It is the astronomical view of things that bothers me. We look up into the night-heavens and say: "Worlds! worlds!" and how insignificant we feel! We stand at the foot of Mt. Blano or Mt. Washington, and we feei that we are only insects, and then we say to ourselves: "Though the world is so large, the sun is 1,400,000 times larger." We say: "Oh. it is no use, if God wheels that great machinery through immensity He will not take the trouble to look down at me." Infidel conclusion. Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter are no more rounded and weighed and swung by the hand of God than are the globules on a lilac bush the morning after a shower. God is no more in magnitudes than he is in minutiae. If He has scales to weigh the mountains He ha.s balances delicate enough to weigh the infinitesmal. You can no more see Him through the telescope than you can see •Him through the microscope no more when.you look up than when you look down. Are not the hairs of your head all numbered? And if Himalaya has a God, "hath not the rain a father?" I take this doctrine of a particular Providence, and I thrust it into the very midst of your every-dav life. If God fathers a raindrop, is there my thing so insignificant in your affairs that God will not father that? When Druyse, the gunsmith, invented the needle-gun, which decided the battle of Sadowa, was it a mere accident?

God is either wrong in the affairs of men, or our religion is worth nothing at all, and you had better take it away from us, and instead of Bible, which teaches the doctrine, gvie us a secular book, and let us, as the famous Mr. Fox. the member of Parliment. in his last hour cry out: "Read me the eighth book of Virgil." O! my friends, let us rouse up to an appreciation of the fact that all the affairs of our life are under a King's command, and under a Father's watch. Alexander war-horse, Bucephalus, would allow anybody to mount him when he was unharnessed, but as soon as they put on that warhorse, Bucephalus, the saddle and the trappings of the Conqueror, he would allow no one but Alexander to touch him. And if a soulless horse could have so much pride in his owner, shall not we mortals exult in the fact that we are owned by king? "Hath the rain a father?"

Again, my subject teachcs me that God's dealings with us are inexplicable. That was the original force of my text. The rain was a great mystery to the ancients. They could not understand how the water should get into the cloud, and, getting there how it should be suspended or, falling, why it should come down in drops. Modern science comes along and says there are two portions of air of different temperature, and they are charged with moisture, and the one portion of air decreases in temperature so the water may no longer be held in vapor, and it falls. And they toil us that some of the clouds that look to be no larger than a man's hand, and to be almost quiet in the heavens, are great mountains of mist 4,000 feet from base to top, and that they rush mites a minute. But, after all the brilliant experiments of Dr. James Huston and iSaussure and other scientists, there

an infinite mvstery about the rain. There is an ocean of the unfathomable in every rain drop, and God say9 to-day as He said in the time of Job: "If yon can not understand one drop of rain, do not be surprised if my dealings with you are inexplicable.

Yes, God also is Father of all that rain of repentance. Did you ever see a rain of repentance? Do you know what it is that makes a man repent? 1 see people going around trying to repent. They can not repent. Do you know no man can repent until God helps him to repent? How do I know? By this passage: "Him hath God exalted to be a Prince and a Savior to give repentance," O! it is a tremendous hou* when one wakes up and says: "I

a bad man, I have not sinned against the laws of the laud, but I havi wasted mv life God asked me fo" my services, and I haven't given those- services. O! my sins God forj give mo." When that tear starts i. thrills all heaven. An angel can no ke?p his eyes off it. And the Churcl of God is the Father of that rain, th Lord, long suiiering, merciful an gracious.

O! that God would break us down with a sense of our sin an 1 then lift us up with an appreciation of this mercy. Tears over our wasted life. Tears over a grieved Spirit. Tear, over an injured father, O! that Goo would move upon this audience wit! a great wave of religious emotion!

The King of Carthage v/a- dothron ed. His peop'e rebelled agains him. He was driven into banish ment. His wife and children, wer outrageously abused. Years wen' by. and the King of Carthage mad' many friends. He gathered up great army. He toward Carthago. gate of Carthage. of the place came out footed and bareherded, and ropes around their necks, crying fo mercy. They said: "We abused yo and we abused your family, but cry for mer.:y." The King of Car tha,ge looked down upon the peopl from his chariot and said: "I cant' to bless, I didn't come to destroy You drove me out, but this day pronounce pardon for all the people' Open the gate and let the peopl come in." The King marched in an took the throne, and the people a! shouted: "Long live the King'' My friends, you have driven th-» Lord Jesus Christ, away from you hearts, you have been maltreatin Him all these years: but He come: back to-day. He stands in front the gates of your soul. If you will only pray for His pardon, He will meet you with His gracious spirit, and He will say: "Thy sins and th iniquities I will remember no more. Open wide the gate I will take tho throne. My peace I give unto you." And then, all through this audience, from the young and from the old, there will be a rain of tears, and God will be the Father of that rain.

A Country of En ey Going liiibit* Harper's Magazine for July. The evidence gathered from the most various sources about the Paraguayan native was always the same. An English ex-naval officer and exelephant hunter in Africa, who hr.L a cane distillery near Paraguari. was of opinion that Paraguay is not going to improve in the immediate future. In twenty or thirty yearo. time, when the population has in creased and life become more dif cult, there may be a change. Atpres ent the people have mandioca ani' oranges in abundance they need not work, and they will not wo* k. Thi gentleman thought that the Para guayans were most happy under th severe tyranny of Francai and Lo pez, when they were all praet'calh slaves, and he regretted that foreign ers are now allowed to come in au buy land, because it means to th natives an ultimate loss of nation ality. Another Englifhman. vh had been three years cattle farm in at San Ignaoio, told me that eve since he had been there he luid nev got a stroke of work out of the n:: tives dwelling on his land they liv on oranges, mandico and matt. and will not work. On his -stand he has 20,000 orange tre^s, bt fo* want of means of transpotation tlx fruit has no market value. Und the trees the oranges lie on the so a foot deep, and the cattle eat the. and fatten well. The observer suggested that it might be a good thin lor Paraguay if the govern r. .on caused the orange trees to be cu down, as the government of Cost Rica once had the bananiers stroyed, with a view to stamping ou laziness and obliging the people li work for their bread. All this seei'i* strange. Nature and the Jesuit have given these Paraguayans th means of life and of oblivious feJiuit in the shape of mandioca, orange.'mate, and tobacco. They erroy climate so delightful that elotfies ar scarcely needed. And yet the mo dlesome Europeans are surnrisiv and irritated because they do m. work, ..

Sloeam. Km:lor, Wood and Jr.rlgo, fom murderers, were electrocuted at the New York penitentiary on the 7th, The approximate time of the turning on of tht current in each case was: Slocum, 4:10: Smile:', 5:10 Woo ]. 5:30 Jugiro, 6 Q5. The prisoners had received some intimation beforehand that the executions were to take place, aud they were prepared foi them. They went to the executien chaii bravely, and met their fate without a Struggle. They offered no resistance, bat rather assisted the keepers when they were bound down in the chair. The electrodes were not applied, as in the Kemraler case, to the top of the skull and tin base of the spine, hut were bound to th foreheads of the condemned men an:l the calves of their legs. The current was turned on in each case for twenty seconds The volra^e was about 1,500 or 1,600. Ii each case there were apparent evklcnee of revival, as in the Ketntnler case, and ir each of those four cases the current wa:tnrned on a second time. In spite of t.h( fact that sponges were kept constantly wet, all of the executed men wer^ bnrned by the current, and especially about the calves of 'ho legs.

One of the witnesses briefly tells the tale of the execution as follows: "About 4 'o'clock the witnesses were lot. into the death chamber. The experts luul previously examined everything and said they were satisfied the machinery of death would work perfectly. At 4 o'clock Slocum walked into the death room, accoxnI panied by Father Creedeu. He seemed to be making a tremendous effort to keep hicomposure. He had received Father Creed den's last offices and had declare hhnselready to die. Ho was then firmly strapped

Next to follow was Wood, the negro. He had been worked up into a state of religious enthusiasm, and it was while in this frame oi mind that he was fastened into the chair and killed by the fatal shock. Jugiro was stubborn to tho last. There was the usual ferocious, ugly look on his face. He was closely guarded, and short work made of
