WONDERS OF CEYLON.

REV. DR. TALMAGE AT THE ISLE OF PALMS.

The Show Place of tho Universe—The Great Preacher at the Harbor of Colombo—A Glowing Picture of a Remarkable Country—The Lesson.

Jan. 13.—In continuing

his series of round the world aermons through the press Rev. Dr. Talmage today chose for his subject "Ceylon, the Isle of Palms," the text selected being, "The ships of Tarshish first" (Isaiah lx, 9).

The Tarshish of my text by many commentators is supposed to be the island of Ceylon, upon which the seventh sermon of the round the world series lands us. Ceylon was called by the Romans Tapobrane. John Milton called it "Golden Chersonese." Moderns have called Ceylon "the isle of palms," "the isle of flowers," the pearl drop on "the brow of India," "the isle of jewels," "the island of spice," "the show place of the universe," "the land of hyacinth aud ruby." In my eyes, for scenery it appeared to be a mixture of Yosemite and Yellowstone park. All Christian people want to know more of Ceylon, for they have a long while been contributing for its evangelization. As our ship from Australia approached this island there hovered over it clouds thick and black as the superstitions which have hovered here for centuires, but the morning sun was breaking through like tho gospel light which is to scatter the last cloud of moral gloom. The sea lay along the coast calm as the eternal purposes of God toward all islands and continents. We swing into the harbor of Colombo, which is made by a breakwater built at vast expense. As we floated into it the water is black with boats of all sizes and manned by people of all colors, but chiefly Tamils and Cingalese.

Two Remarkable Sights.

There are two things I want most to see on this island: A heathen temple with its devoter: in idolatrous worship and an audienr of Cingalese addressed by a Christie, missionary. The entomologist may have his capture of brilliant insects, and the sportsman his tent adorned with antler of red deer and tooth of wild boar, and the painter his portfolio of gorge 3,000 feet clown and of days dying on evening pillows of purple cloud etched with fire, and the botanist his camp full of orchids and crowfoots and gentians and valerian and lotus. I want most to find out tho moral and religious triumphs, how many wounds have been healed, how many sorrows comforted, howmnny entombed nations resurrected. Sir William Baker, the famous explorer and geographer, did well for Ceylon after his eight years' residence in this island, and Professor Ernst rleckel, the professor from Jena, did well when lie swept these waters and rummaged these hillsand took homG for future inspection tho insects of this tropical air. And forever honored be such work, but let all that is sweet in rhythm and graphic on canvas and imposing in monument and immortal in memory bo brought to tell tho deeds of those who wore heroes and heroines for Christ's sake.

Many scholars have supposed that this islanfl of Ceylon was the original garden of Eden where tho snako first appeared on reptilian mission. There are reasons for belief that this was the site where tho first homestead was opened and destroyed. It is so near the equator that thero are not more than 12 degrees of Fahrenheit difference all the year round. Perpetual foliage, perpetual fruit and all styles of animal life prosper. What luxuriance aud abundance and superabundance of life I What styles of plumago do not tho birds sport! What styles of scalo do not the fishes reveal! What styles of song do not tho groves have in their libretto!

Hero on the roadside aud clear out on the beach of tho sea stands the cocoanut tree saying: 'Take my leaves for shado. Take the juice of my fruit for delectable drink. Tako my saccharine for sugar. T: ke my fiber for the cordage of your ships. Take my oil to kindle your lamps. Take my wood to fashion your cups and pitchers. Tako my leaves to thatch your roofs. Tako my smooth surfaco on which to print your books. Take my 80,000,000 trees covering 500,000 acres and with the exportation enrich the world. I will wave in your fans and spread abroad in your umbrellas. I will vibrato in your musical instruments. I will bo the scrubbing brushes on your floors."

Miracles of Nature.

Here also stands tho palm tree saying: "I am at your disposal. With these arms I fed your ancestors 150 years ago, and with these same arms I will feed your descendants 150 years from now. I defy the centuries!"

Hero also stands the nutmeg tree saying, "I am ready to spice your beverages and enrich your puddings and with my sweet dust make insipid things palatable.

Hero also stands the coffee plant saying, "With tho liquid boiled from my berry I stimulate the nations morning by morning."

Hero stands the tea plant saying, "With tho liquid boiled from my leaf I soothe tho world's nerves and stimulate the world's conversation evening by evening.

Hero stands tho cinchona saying: "1 am tho foe of malaria. In all climates my bitterness is the slaughter of fevers.

What miracles of productiveness on these islands! Enough sugar to sweeten all tho world's beverages, enough bananas to pile all the world's fruit baskets, enough rice to mix all the world's puddings, enough cocoanut to powder all the world's cakes, enough flpwers to garland all tho world's beauty.'

But in the evening, riding through a cinnamon grove, I first tastod/tho leaves and bark of that condiment sy valuable and delicate that transports! on ships tho aroma of the cinnamon Is dispelled if placed near a rival barB Of such great value is the cinnamcf shrub that

1

I.? GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN. THURSDAY. JANUARY 17.1895.

yeara ago those who injured it in Ceylon were put to death. Bnt that which once was a jangle of cinnamon is now a park of gentlemen's residences. The long, white dwelling houses are bounded with this shrub, and all other styles of growth congregated there make a botanical garden. Doves called cinnamon doves hop among the branches, and crows, more poetically styled ravens, which never could sing, but think they can, fly across the road giving full test of their vocables. Birds whioh learned their chanting tinder the very eaves of heaven overpower all with their grand march of the tropics. The hibisens dapples the scene with its scarlet clusters. All shades of brown and emerald and saffron and brilliance melons, limes, magnosteens, custard apples, guavas, pineapples, jasmine so laden with aroma they have to hold fast to the wall, and begonias, gloriosas on fire and orchids so delicate other lands must keep them under conservatory, but here defiant of all weather, and flowers more or less akin to azaleas and honeysuckles and floxes and fuchsias and chrysanthemums and rhododendrons and foxgloves and pansies which dye the plains and mountains of Ceylon with heaven.

Wonderful Trees of Ceylon. The evening hour burns incense of all styles of aromatics. The convolvulus, blue as if the sky had fallen, and butterflies spangling the air, and arms of trees sleeved with blossoms, and rocks upholstered of moss, commingling sounds and sights and odors until eye and ear and nostril vie with each other as to which sense shall open the door to the most enchantment. A strugglo between music and perfume and iridescence. Oleanders reeling in intoxication of color. Great banyan trees that have been changing their mind for centuries, each century carrying out anew plan of growth, attracted our attention and saw us pass in the year of 1894 as they saw pass the generations of 1794 and 1694. Colombo is so thoroughly embowered in foliage that if ou go into one of its towers and look devn upon the city of 180,000 people you cannot see a house. Oh, the trees of Ceylon! May you live to behold the morning climbing down through their branches or tho evening tipping their leaves with amber and gold! I forgivo the Buddhist for the worship of trees until they know of the God who mado the trees. I wonder not that thero are some trees in Ceylon called sacred. To me all trees aro sacred. I wonder not that before one of them they burn camphor flowers and hang lamps around its branches and 100,000 people each year mako pilgrimage to that tree. Worship something man muSt, and, until he hear of tho only Being worthy of worship, what so elevating as a tree! What glory enthroned amid its foliage! What a majestic doxology spreads out in its branches! What a voice when the tempests pass through it! How- it looks down upon tho cradlo and tho grave of centuries! As tho fruit of one tree unlawfully eaten struck tho raco with woe and tho uplifting of another tree brings peaco to tho soul, let the woodman spare the tree and all nations honor it, if, through higher teaching, wo do not, like the Ceylonese, worship it! How consolatory that when wo no more walk under tho tree branches on earth we may see tho "treo of life which bears 12 manner of fruit and yields her fruit every mouth, and tho leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations!"

A Strange Procession.

Two processions I saw in Ceylon within one hour, tho first led by a Hindoo priest, a huge pot of flowers on his head, his face disfigured with holy lacerations and his unwashed followers beating as many discords from what are supposed to be musical instruments as nt one time can be induced to enter the human ear. The procession halted at the door of the huts. The occupants came out and made obeisance and presented small contributions. In return therefor the priest sprinkled ashes upon the children who came forward, this evidently a form of benediction. Then tho procession, led on by the priest, started again. More noise, more ashes, more genuflection. However keen one's sense of tho ludicrous, ho could find nothing to exoito even a smile in tho movements of such a procession. Meaningless, oppressive, squalid, filthy, sad.

Returning to our carriage, we rode on for a few moments, and wo came on another procession, a kindly lady leading groups of native children, all clean, bright, happy, laughing. They were a Christian school out for exercise. There seemed as much intelligence, refinement and happiness in that regiment of young Cingalese as you would find in the ranks of any young ladies' seminary being chaperoned on their afternoon walk through Central park, New York, or Hydo park, London. The Hindoo procession illustrated on a small scale something of what Hindooism can do for tho world. Tho Christian procession illustrates on a small scale something of what Christianity can do for tho world But those two processions were onl^ fragments of two great processions ever marching across our world, the procession blasted of superstition and the procession blessed of gospel light. I saw them in one afternoon in Ceylon. They ar'o to bo seen in all nations.

Nothing is of more thrilling interest than the Christian achievements in tlii island. Tho Episcopal church was here tho national church, but disestablishment has taken place, aud since Mr. Gladstone's accomplishment of that fact in 1880 all denominations aro on equal platform, and all are are doing mighty work. America is second to no other nation in what has been done for Ceylon. Since 1816 she has had her religious agents in tho Jaffna peninsula of Ceylon. The Spauldings, tho Howlauds, the Drs. Poor, tiie Saunders and others just as,good and strong have been fighting back monsters of superstition and cruelty greater than auy that over swung the tusk or roared in tho jungles. .. .. Curist or Buddha.

The American missionaries in Ceylon havo given special attention to medical instruction and are doing wonAers in

driving back the horrors of heathen surgery. Cases of suffering were formerly given over to the devil worshipers and such tortures inflicted as may not be described The patient was trampled by the feet of the medical attendants. It is only of God's mercy that there is a living mother in Ceylon. Oh, how much Ceylon needs doctors, and the medical classes of native students under the care of those who follow the example of the late Samuel Fish Green are providing them, so that all the alleviations and kindly ministries and scientific acumen that can be found in American and English hospitals will soon bless all Ceylon.

In that island are 82 American school, 210 Church of England schools, 234 Wealeyan schools, 234 Roman Catholic schools. Ah, the schools decide most everything! How suggestive the inoident that came tome in Ceylon. In a school under the care of the Episcopal church two boys were converted to Christ and were to be baptized. An intelligent Buddhist boy said in the school, 'Let all the boys on Buddha's side come to this part of the room and all the boys on Christ's side go to the other part of the room.

All the boys except two went on Buddha's side, and when the two boys who were to be baptized were scoffed at and derided one of tliom yielded and retired to Buddha's side. But afterward that boy was sorry that he had yieldod to the persecution, and when the day of baptism came stood up beside the boy who remained firm. Some one said to the boy who had vacillated in his choice between Buddha and Christ, "You are a coward and not fit for either side," but he replied, "I was overcome of temptation, but I repent and believe." Then both boys were baptized, and from that time the Anglicau mission moved on more and more vigorously. I will not say which of all the denominations of Christians is doing the most for the evangelization of that island, but know this—Ceylon will be taken for Christ! Sing Bishop Heber's hymn:

What though tho spicy breezes Blow soft over Ceylon's isle! A College and a Temple. Among the first places I visited was a Buddhist ccllego, about 100 men studying to become priests gathered around the teachers. Stepping into the building where the high priest was instructing tho class, wo were apologetic and told him we wero Americans and would like to seo his mode of teaching if he had no objections, whereupon he began, doubled up as ho was on a 1OUIM,'O, with his right band playing with his foot. In his left hand he held a package of bamboo leaves on which were written the words of the lesson, cach student holding a similar jjaclrago of bamboo leaves. Tim high priert first read, and then one of his students read. A group of as finely formed young men as I ever saw surrounded the venerable instructor. The last word of' each sentence was intoned. Thero was in the whole scene an earnestness which impressed me. Not able to understand a word of what was said, thero is a look of language and intonation that is the same among all races. That the Buddhists have full faith in their religion no ono can doubt. That is, in their opinion, the way to heaven. What Mohammed is to the Mohammedan and what Christ is to the Christian Buddha is to tho Buddhist. We waited for a pause in the recitation, and then expressing our thanks retired.

Nearby is a Buddhist temple, oil tho altar of which before the imago of Buddha are offerings of flowers. As night was coming on wo came up to a Hindoo temple. First we wero prohibited going further than the outside steps, but wo gradually advanced until v-o could seo nA that was going on inside. Tho worshipers wero making obeisance. The tamtams were wildly beaten, and shrill pipes wero blown, and several other instruments were in full bang ai I blaro, and there was an indescribable hubbub and the most laborious stylo of worship had ever seen or heard. The dim lights, and the jargon, and the glooms, and tho flitting figures mingled for eye and ear a horror which it is difficult to shake off. All this was only suggestive of what would there transpire after the toilers of tho day had ceased work and had time to appear at the temple. That such things should bo supposed to please the Lord or have any power to console or help the worshipers is only another mystery in this world of mysteries. But we came away saddened with the spectacle, a sadness which did not leave us until we arrived at a place where a Christian missionary was preaching in tho street to a group of natives.

Underneath Ceylon.

I had that morning expressed a wish to witness srch a scene, and hero it was. Standing on an elevation, the good man was addressing tho crowd. All was attention and silence and reverence. A religion of relief and joy was being commended, and the dusky faces wero illumined wi'h the sentiments of pacification and re-enforcement. It was tho rose of Sharon after walking among nettles. It was the morning light after a thick darkness. It was tho gospel after Hindooism.

But passing up and down the streets of Ceylon you find all styles of people within fivo minutes—Afghans, Kaffirs, Portuguese, Moormen, Dutch. English, Scotch, Irish, American—all classes, all dialects, all manners and customs, all styles of salaam. Tho most interesting thing oil earth is tho human race, and specimens of all branches of it confront you in Ceylon. The island of the present is a quiet and inconspicuous affair compared with what it once was. The dead cities of Ceylon wore larger and more imposing than aro the living cities. On this island are dead New Yorks and dead Pekings and dead Edinburghs and dead Londons. Ever and anon at the stroko of the archjeologist's hammer the tomb of some great municipality flies open, and there are other buried cities that will yet respond to the explorer's pickax.

neath Ceylon. Yonder is an exhumed city which was founded 500 years before Christ, standing in pomp and splendor for 1,200 years. Stairways up which 50 men might pass side by side. Carved pillars, some of them fallen, some of them aslant, some of them erect. Phidiases and Christopher Wrens never beard of here performed the marvels of sculpture and architecture. Aisles through which royal processions marched. Arches under which kings were carried. City with reservoir 20 miles in circumference. Extemporized lakes that did their cooling and refreshing for 12 centuries. Ruins more suggestive than Melrose and Kenilworth. CeyIonian Karnaks and Luxors.

Ruins retaining much of grandeur, though wars bombarded them, and time put his chisel on every block, and, more than all, vegetation put its anohors and pries and wrenches in all the crevices. Dagobas, or places where relics of saints or dieties are kept—dagobas 400 feet high and their fallen material burying precious things, for tho sight of which modern curiosity has digged and blasted in vain. Procession of elephants in imitation, wrought into lustrous marble. Troops of horses in full run. Shrines, chapels, cathedrals wrecked on the mountain side. Stairs of moonstone. Exquisite scrolls rolling up moro mysteries than will ever be unrolled. Over 16 square miles the ruins of one city strewn. Thronerooms on which at different times sat 165 kings, reigning in authority they inhorited. Walls that witnessed coronations, assassinations, subjugations, triumphs. Altars at which millions bowed ages before the orchestras celestial woke tho shepherds with midnight overture.

The Liife of Cities.

When Lieutenant Skinner in 1832 discovered tho site of some of these cities, he found congregated in them undisturbed assemblages of leopards, porcupines, flamingoes and pelicans reptiles sunning themselves on the altars, prima donnas rendering ornithological chant from deserted music halls. One king restored much of the grandeur, rebuilt 1,500 residences, but ruin soon resumed its scepter. But all is down— tho spires down, the pillars down, the tablets down, tho glory of splendid arches down. What killed those cities? Who slew the New York and London of the year 500 B. C. Was it unhealthed with a host of plagues? Was it foreign armies laying seige? Was it whole generations weakened by their own vices? Mystery sits amid tho monoliths and brickdust, finger on lip in eternal silence, wThile the centuries guess and guess in vain. Wo simply know that genius planned those cities, and immense populations inhabited them. An eminent writer estimates that a pile of bricks in one ruin of Ceylon would bo enough to build a wall teu feet high from Edinburgh to London. Sixteen hundred pillars with carved capitals are standing sentinel for ten miles.

You can judgo somewhat of the size of tho cities by tho reservoirs that wero required to slack thoir thirst, judging tho sizo of tho city from tho size of tho cuiioutof which it drank. Cities crowded with inhabitants—not like American or English cities, but packed together as only barbaric tribes can pack them. But their knell was sounded, their light went out. Giant trees are tho only royal family now occupying thoso palaces. Tho growl of wild beasts where once tho guffaw of wassail ascended. Anurajahpuraand Pollonarna will never bo rebuilded. Let all the living cities of tho earth tako warning. Cities are human, having a time to be born and a timo to die. No more certainly have they a cradlo than a grave. A last judgment is appointed for individuals, but cities have their last judgment in this world. They bless, they curse, they worship, they blaspheme, they suffer, they aro rewarded, tluy are overthrown.

Something to Ponder Over. Preposterous! says someone, to think that auy of our American or European cities which havo stood so long can ever come through vico to extinction. But New York and London havo not stood as long as those Ceylonese cities stood. Where is the throne outside of Ceylon on which 105 successive kings reigned for a lifetime. Cities and nations that havo lived far longer than our present cities or nation havo been sepulchered. Let all the great municipalities of this and other h.nds ponder. It is as true now as when the psalmist wrote it and as true of cities and nations as of individuals, "Tho Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of tho ungodly shall perish."

The Power of Suggestion.

The full significance of suggestibility is apparent when we remember that teachiug, preaching, acting, public speaking and pleading aro forms of suggestion, says Professor E. W. Scripture of Yalo university. The freaks of hypnotism are performed by suggestion. Tho faith cures and miraculous effects of the grotto of Lourdes arc benevolent suggestions. Tho ceremonials of our churches aro suggestions bringing us into a religious frame of mind. The manipulations of tho spiritualists and the monotonous blackness of a funeral aro all form1 of suggestion. How shall wo develop tho children so as to produce in them minds well balanced in respect to suggestion? Is this not as important a task as learning to do perccntago or to parse a sentence? Hero is a field where tho educator must dig for facts.

Slio was a guileless, innocent thing, and as sho passed a sign which road "Gloves cleaned and repaired" she thought of something all of a sudden and wont into tho shop. "I believe you clean and repair gloves here, don't you," she said to tho clerk. "Yes, miss," he replied. "Well, I have ono at home that I'll send down to you. It doosn't need cleaning very much, but I want it repaired. I've lost the mate to it."

Then $he retired, and the clerk is waiting jlnd wondering how ho will get square with that sign. -—Exchange.
