Talmage Presents a Novel ..View 01 the Divine Love.

Che Old Standards in Grammar Hare Led Too Many to Think of God as Purely ll^woiiline—IMvlne Attributes Aro

Feminine Also and Motherly.

Rev. Dr. Talmago preached at

Jj Brooklyn last Sunday. Subject1 "The Mother of All." Text, Isaiah ffl lxvi. 13. "As one whom his mother

comforteth, so will I support you.."' s^.d: Bible is a warm letter of aficction from a parent to a child, and yet there aro many who see chiefly the severer passages. As there n.ay Ije fifty or $ixty nights of gentle dew in ons summer that will not cause as much remark as one hailstorm of half an hour, so there are those who fire more struck by those passages of the Bible that announce the indignation of God than by those that announce his affection. There may |'come to a household twenty or fifty letters of affection during the year, and they will uot make as much excitement in that home as one sheriff's writ, and so there are people who %re more attentive to those passages which announce the judgment of (iod than to those which announce his mercy and his favor.

God is a liou, John says in the V, book of Revelation. God is a breaker, Micah announces in his trophecy.

God is a rock. God is a king. But hear also that God is love. The text of this morning bends with great gentleness and love over V- all who are prostrate in sin and trouble. It fights up with compas'1 sion. It melts with tenderness. It breathes upon us the hush of an eternal lullaby, for it announces that

God is our Mother. I remark, in the first place, that 1 God has a mother's simplicity of injst,ruction. A father does not know 4 how lo teach a child tho ABC. Men Hare not skillful in the primary del^partment, but a mother has so much atience that she will tell a child for ^ptioe hundredth time the difference between F. and and between I and

J. Sometimes it is by blocks sometimes by the worsted work sometimes by the slate sometimes by the ok. She thus teaches the child and has no awkwar "nsss cf condeecension in so doing. So God, our 5 Mother, stoops down to our infatitile minds.

Though we are told a thing a thousand times and we do not understand it, our heavenly Mother goes on, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. God has been teaching some of us thirty years and some of us sixty years one

word of one svllable, and we do not -know it yet—faith, faith When we uiTio fiitit^vord we stumble, we

.halt, we lose our place,wo pronounce f^*it wrong. Still God's patience is not exhausted. God, our Mother, puts us in the school of prosperity, and the figures are in sunshine, and we cannot spell them. God puts us in the school of adversity, aud the letters are black, and we cannot spell -them. If God were merely a king he would punish us if he were simply a father he would whip us but God is a mother, and so we are borne with and helped all the way through.

A mother teaches her child chiefly by pictures. If she wants to set forth to her child the hideousness of a quarrelsome disposition, instead of giving a lecture on that subject she turns over a leaf and shows the child :^T two boys in a wrangle, and says,

Does

not that look horrible?" If

she wants to teach her child the aw- & fulness of war she turns over the ^ftai .#?picture book and shows the war charger, the headless trunks of butchered men, the wild, bloodshot eye of battle rolling under lids of flame, and she says, That is war I"

The child understands it. In a great many books the best Mparts are the pictures. The style may be insipid, the type poor, but a 'picture always attracts a child's attention. Now God, our Mother, teachjs us almost everything by pictures. Is the divine goodness to be set forth How does God, our

Mother, teach us By an autumnal tepjeture. The barns are full. The vwheat stacks are rounded. The cattle jare chewing the cud lazily in the sun.

The orchards are dropping the ripe pippins into the lap of the farmer. •The natural world that has been busy all summer seems now to be resting |«in great abundance.

God wishes to set forth the fact that in the judgment the good will be divided from the the wicked. How is it done? By a picture, by a para"^ble—a fishing scene. A group of ardy men, long bearded, geared for anding to the waist in water,sleeves ed up. Long oar, sun gilt boat tered as though it had been a play ,«te of the storm. A full net thumpug about with the fish, which have just discovered their captivity, the worthless mossbunkers and the useful flounders all in the same net. The 'fisherman puts his hand down amid the squirming fins, takes out the mossbunkers and throws them into 1 the water and gathers the good fish :*into the pail. So, says Christ, it shall be at the end of the world. The ad he will cast away, and the good will keep.

I remark a train that God has a other's favoritism. A fathersomeuies shows a sort of favoritism, ere is a boy—strong, Well, of high rchead and quick intellect. The father says, rI \will take that boy in|to my firm yet," or, I will give" him 'ithe very best possible education." stances where for the ra have

that is n\ mother's favorite. 1 will tell vo\£ ^er favorite. There is a child who at two years of age had a fall. He has never got over it. The scarlet fever muied his hearing. He is not what he once was. That child has caused the mother more anxious nights than all the other children. If he coughs in the night she springs out ot a bound sleep and goes to him. The last thiugshe does when going out of the house is to give a charge in regard to him. The first ling on coming in is to ask in roijard to him. Why, the children of tho family all know that he is the favorite, and says: "Mother, you let him do just as he pleases, and you give him a great many things which you do not give us. He is your favorite." The mothers smile she knows it is so. So he ought to be, for if there is any one in the world needs sympathy more than another it is ah invalid child weary on the first mile of lifo's journey carrying an aching head, a weak side, an irritated lung. So the mother ought to make him a favorite.

God, our Mother, has favorites. "Whom the Lord loveth he ehasteneth"—that is, one whom he especially loves he chasteneth. God loves us, but is there one weak and sick and sore and wounded and suffering and faint? That is the one who lies nearest and more perpetually

the

great loving heart of God, Why, it never coughs bub our Mother—God— hears it. It never stirs a weary limb in the bed but our Mother—God —knows of it. There is no such a watcher as God. The best nurse may be overborne by fatigue and fall asleep in the chair but God, our Mother, after being up a year of nights with a suffering cliild, never slumbers nor sleeps. "Oh." says one, "I cannot understand all that about arliiction!" A refiner of silver once explained it to a Christian ladv, "I put thjsilver on the fire, and 1 k:ep refining it and trying it till I cans my face in it and then I take it out." J'Cist so it is tha! God kespshis dear children in the furnace till the divine image may be sen in them, then they are taken out of the fire. "Well," savs some one, "if that is tha way God treats his favorites, I do not want to be a favorite."

There is a barren field on autumn day just wanting to be let alone. There is bang at the bars and a rattle of whiffietre:s and clevises. The field says, "What is the farmer going to do with me now?" The farmer puts the plow in the ground, shouts to the horses, the colter goes tearing through the sod and the furrow soon reaches from fence to fence. Next day there is a bang at the bars and t'h rat tl of ffi trees agai n. The field says, "I wonder what the farmer is going to do now?" The farmer hitches the horses to the harrow and it goes bounding and tearing across the field.

Next day there is a rattle at the bars again, and the field says, "What is the farmer going to do now?" He walks heavily across the (ield, scattering seed as walks. Ater awhile a cloud comes. Thelield says, "What, more trouble!" It begins to rain. After awhile the wind changes to the northeast and it begins to snow. Says the field, "Is it not enough that I have been trampled upon and drowned? Must I be snowed under?" After awhile spring comes out of the gates of the south and warmth and gladness come with it. A green scarf bandages the gashes of the wheat field, and a July morning drops a crown of gold upon the head of the grain. "Oh," says the field, "now I know tho use of the plow, of the harrow, of the heavy foot, of the shower and of the snow storm. It is well enough to be trodden and trampled and drowned and snowed under if in the end I can yield such a glorious harvest."

When I see God especiall3r bus}' in troubling and trying a Christian I know that out of that Christian's character there is to come some especial good. A quarry man goes down into the excavation, and with strong-handed machinery bores into the rock. The rock says, "What do you do that for?" He puts powder in: he lights a fuse there is a thundering crash. The rock says': "Why, the whole mountain is going to pieces." The crowbar is plunged the rock is dragged out. After awhile it is taken to the artist's studio. It says: "Well, now I have got to a good, warm, comfortable place at last."

But the sculptor takes the chisel and mallet, and he digs for the eyes, and he cuts for the mouth, and he bores for the ear, and he rubs it with sandpaper, until the rock says: "When will this torture be ended?" A sheet is thrown over it it stands in darkness. After awhile it is taken out. The covering is removed. It stands in the sunlight, in the presence of ten thoasand applauding people. as they greet the statue of the poet, or the prince, or the conqueror. "Ah," says the stone, "now I understand it. I am a great deal better off now standing as the statue of a conqueror than I would have been down in the quarry." So God finds man down in the qarry of ignorance and sin. How to get him up? He must be bored and blasted and chiseled and scoured and stand sometimes in the darkness.

But after awhile themantleof affliction will fall off and he will be greeted by the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the thousands of thousands as more than conqueror. Oh, my friends, God, our Mother, is just as kin4 in our afflictions as in our prosperities. God never touches us but for our good. If a field cl4an and cultured is better arren fiejd. and if a stone 7 ••••.

that has become a statue is better off than the marble in the quarry, then the soul that God chastens may be His favorite.

I remark that God has a mother's capacity for attending to little hurts. The father is shocked at the broken bone of a child, or at the sickness that sets the cradle on fire with fever, but it tak the mother to sympathize with all the little ailments anrl bruises of the child. If tho child have a splinter in its hand it wants the mother to take it out, and not the father. The father says, "Oil, that is nothing," but the mother knows ifc is something, and that a little hurt is sometimes very great. So with God, our A'o .her all our annoyan are important enougli to look at ant. sympathize with.

Nothing with God is something There are no ciphers in God's urith metic. And it we were only gooi enough of sight we could see as mud through a microscope as 'through telescope. Those that muv be impal pable and inlinitessimal om may pronounced and infinite to God. A mathematical point is defined a hav ing no parts, no magnitude. It is to small you cannot imagine it, and ye a mathematical point may be a start ing point for a great eternity. l?od\ surveyors carry a very long c'lain. A scale must be ve \y delicate ill it can weigh a grain, but God's scido is si delicate tliat he can weigh wifh ii that wh:ch is so small that a gi a:n is a million times heavier.

I remark further that God has a mother's patience for the er? ing. Ii one does wrong, first his associates in life cast him off if he goes on in the wrong way. his business partner casts him off if he goes on, his best friends cast him off -his father casts hitn off. But after all others have cast him off, where does he go Who holds uo grudge and forgives the last time as well as the first Who sitby the murderer's counsel all through the "long trial Who tarries the louge.t at the windows of a culprit's cell Who, when all others think ill of a man, keeps on thinking well oT him It is his mother. God bless het* gray hairs if she be still alive, and bless her gray hairs if she be gone! And bless the rocking chair in which she used to sit, and bless the cradle that she used to rock, and bless the Bible she used to read

So God. our Mother, has patience for all the erring. After everybody else has cast a man off, God, our Mother, comes to the rescue. God leaps to take charge of a bad case. After all the other- doctors have got through the heavenly Physician comes in. Human sympathy at such a time does not amount to much. Even the sympathy of the church, I am sorry to say, often does not amount to much.

I want to say finally that Goal has a mother's way of putting a child to sleep. You know there is no cradle song like a mother's. After the excitement of the evening it is almost impossible to get the child to sleep. If the rocking chair stop *. moment the eyes are wide open, but the mother's patience and the mother's soothing manner keep on until after awhile the angel of slumber puts his wing over the pillow. Well, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the time will come when we will bo wanting to put to sleep. The day of our life will be done, and the shadows of the night of death will be gathering around us. Then wo want God to soothe us, to hush us to sleep.

Let the music at our going not be the dirge of the organ, or the knell of the church tower, or the drumming of a "dead march," but let it be the hush of a mother's lullaby. Oh, the cradle of the grave will be soft with the pillows of the promises! When we are being rocked into that last, slumber I want this to be the cradle song, "As. one whom a mother comforteth, so will I comfort you."

Itwasahideus night. The manner in which the wind soughed tho trees settled the matter.

Now and then a drop of rain fell upon the dry leaves like a tear from the feverish eyes of a distressed nature.

It was a corker. The solitary horseman with a heavy military cloak started violently when fourteen shadowy figures leaped from the underbrush and confronted hirn with yawning shot-guns. "Your money," they shouted in hoarse, lawless tones.

The horseman drew himself to his full height. "Not a red cent," he exclaimed.

The leader of the assailants strode forward. "Yield or die," he hissed. "What do you propose to do with the money?" suddenly demanded the solitary horseman. "Buy bread."

There was a convulsive movement beneath the military cloak. "Then—"

The horseman's voice was wonderfully soft—"you are not the campaign committee soliciting funds?" "No." "Take what I have and welcome."

After some further interchange of civilities the rider put spurs to his horse and with. a pleasant ^farewell disappeared. ,,5'

Frank Forrest, Boonville man, who was arrested by the Federal authorities for forging money orders, was identified largely because he could not spell. He attracted special attention to his forged paper by spelling the name of State's capital "Indianopolis." His letters were signed "Vory ltespcctifully."

The Connor-Starke slander suit, tried at Greoncastlo on change of venuo from Montgomery county, resulted in a verdict of $1,000 for plaintiff. It was a compromise verdict, some of the jurors standing out for tho full measure of the claim. Miss Emma Connor, the plaintiff, is the school teacher near Ladoga, who was advertised far and wide in 1891 because of her plucky defense of tho national colors, which had been cut down by Starke, ono of the patrons of the school. This drew upon her the venomous tongue of the de«fend ant, who made free" with her good name, and accused her of scandalous conduct with one of her pupils, a boy thirteen yearsold. The plaintiff is thirty-live. The teacher then instituted suit for damages, and Starke took a change of venue, claiming he could not get justice in Montgomery county. Three days were occupied in the trial. The plaintiff is the daughter of a dead Union soldier Starke is a Bourbon Democrat.

Tho greatest sonsatlon ever known in business and social circles of Clinton caine out Monday, it was learned that William R. Blanford, ono of Clinton's prominent and popular business men. and implement and stock dealer, had left for parts unknown. Ho left last Thursday, but no suspicion was raisod about it, as it was announced that he had gone to Indianapolis on business. It has sinca developed that he took a hasty flight to avoid arrest for forgery and tho hypothecation of a largo number of notes. His business has totally collapsed and is in tho hands of the sheriff, including a large implement storo aud a livery stable. His liabilities wilj amount to ?20,(X)0, and the accounts and goods on hand will not. pay over 20 cents on the dollar. He had left a largo number of notes on the farmers of this vicinity at the bank. Nearly all havo been raised in various sums, some from 618 to 318. and others from smal amounts to $BOO. The amount involved iu this hypothecation is not definitely known, but it is enormous. Monday a great many farm ers camo in to attest their notes, and great excitement prevailed when they discovered tho trick by which they had bjen victimized. The bank is supposed to lose some, but is generally believed to be safe Hi9 father will lose$8,000. County Auditor Hamilton loses 51,250. Outside inanufac* turers will lose from $500 to 52,000. Blan* ford had a bold, energetic manner that won him many friends, and ho was a prominent leader in all social matters, being a member of tho Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. He was treasurer of the latter society, and has absconded with flio funds, some 5200. He is known to havo had a large sum of money with him when he left. He is supposed to have gone to Mexico. A reward of 11.200 is offered for his capture. The immediate cause of his downfall was the loss of nearly $2,000. which he bet on the election. He took money from his business and was unablo to recover.

POLITICAL

One of the Weaver electors was elected in North Dakota by a plurality of 17. Wyoming will probably have two Legislatures this winter.

All the Weaver electors in North Dakota aro elected by majorities ranging from 15 to 88.

Tho official plurality of Governor Russell. of Massachusetts, is 2,531. Harrison carried the State by 26,000.

After a long fight the home for disabled and indigent Confederate veterans has been accepted by the Georgia Legislature.

Candidates for Speaker of the next House, as announced, are J. N. Fippen, Tipton J. B. Curtis, Indianapolis, and Samuel N. Heuch, of Ft. Wayne.

There is talk of a movement among some of the Democrrtic politicians in Indiana, says the Indianapolis News,to form an organization after the fashion of tho State committee, but entirely separate from It. It is said that those who have been considering a plan for such an j» ganlzation believe it would he valuable in perpetuating in power In the State the Democracy. If the miw, organization is formed itwill be patterned After Tammany

lall, of N|)w York, and its ambition will be to become as great a factor in Indiana politics asrTammany is in New Yorkaffairs political. Tho idea of such an organizational is said, had its origin in IndianapolisKoon after the election. It is understooa that leading Democrats over tho State havo been communicated with in reference to tho movement. The new organizati )n, if its plan is undorstood by those who have been approached on tho subject., dors not intend to intenVro with tho work of tho State committee, but will act as assistant. The originators of the scheme design to havo the organ ition exert its greater influence in tho. nominating conventions of tha party. It is said that the plan will be perfected during the session of tho Legislature.

Quite a stir has been created in political circles. The Reform Club, of Now Yorkgave a banquet. Saturday night, at which President-elect Cleveland and many of the notables of the party, including Speaker Crisp, were present. Tho latter says he was invited to make a speech, which ho prepared and iu advance gave it to the Associated Press, Much to his chagrin, however, ho was not called upon,and now all tho politicians aro talking about it The President of the Reform Club says he was not inyited to speak, or if ho was ho docs not know Who invited him. In any event Mr. Crisp, while ho says little, is clearly mortified over his position. 2 The alleged snub of Speaker Crisp at tho Reform Club banquet has procipitated the Speakership fight, and not unfavorably to Crisp. A special to the Indianapolis Sentinel of the 13th, says As tho morning papers confirmed previous reports of tho slight imposed upon Speaker Crisp and strengthened the impression that it, was intentional and designed for popular effect throughout tho country, the House itself took early anJ effectual means to resent the indignity which had been offered its presiding officer. As the clock in the hall in the House indicated 12 o'clock and the Speaker entered to rap the housQ to order there was an instant clapping of hands, and as Mr Crisp mounted tho stand the demonstration increased in volume until jt amounted to an ovation. For nearly a minute tho applause, which swept ovor the entire House and were confined to no faction or party, continued with givat I vigor the Speaker's face Hushed with evident satisfaction and a smile of gratification crept over his features. When si. lence was finally restored, and after tho chaplain's prayer, many members mounted tho rostrum and grasped the Speaker by the hand and congratulated him upon the esteem in which he was evidently held by tho house. It is doubtless a matte1' of great gratification to

Speaker Crisp tha^

among thoso who most emphatically condemn the inhospitality of the Reform Club aro many members who were not even his supporters in tbo famous speakership contist.

Another Heat-Produeo.

French chemists have demonstrat ed that it is possible to produce heat without fire, and the dicovery is to be utilized on the railways and street cars of the country. The device consists simply of a block of acetate of soda, which is plunged into hot water. As it solidifies after the immer sion it gives forth as much heat as coal fire, for the space of five or six hours.
