talma UK's sermon. "the sun PUT OUT," last SUNDAY'S SUBJECT.

from tlie Text: "Tlie Sun Sliull ISe Turnul Into Darknv" Acts 2: 20 Thi- i:i-intl Suit of tlie WorM I tlif Christian Kfligiou. 'opy right IVO by Iou'ia Klopseh.) Christianity is the rising sun of our time, anil men have tried with the uprolling vapors of scepticism, and the smoke of their blasphemy, to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose the arenangels of malice and horror should be let loue a little while, and be allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens! They would take the oceans from other worlds, and pour them on the luminary of the planetary system, and the waters go hissing down amid the ravines and the caverns, and there is explosion after explosion, until there are only a few peaks of tire left in the sun, and these are cooling docvn and going out until the vast continents of flame are reduced to a ?mall a e vage of fire, and that whitens and cools oft" until there are only a few coals left, and these are whitening and going oul until there is not a paik left in all the mountains of ashes, and the valleys of ashes, and the chasms of ;u'.if s. An extinguished sun! A (had sun! A buried sun! Let all worlds wail f.t the stupendous obsequies. Of course, this withdrawal or the solr.r light and heat throws our earth into a universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate, and the temperate becomes the arctic, and there are frozen rivers, and frozen lakes, and frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in toward the center, and find the equator as the poles. The slain forests are piled up into a jreat bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and citit.es. The wealth cf the coal mines is hastily poured into the furnaces, and stirred into rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires begin to lower, and the furnaces begin to go out, and the nations begin to die. Cotopaxi. Vesuvius, Etna. Stromboli. California geysers, cease to smoke, and the ice of hail storms remains unmelted in their crater. All the flowers have breathed their last breath. Ships with sailors frozen at the mast, and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and passengers frozen in the cabin; all nations dying, first at the North and then at the South. Child frosted and dead in the cradle. Octogenarian frosted and dead at the hearth. Workmen with frozen hand on the hammer, and frozen foot on the shuttle. Winter from sea to sea. Allcongealing winter. Perpetual winter. Globe of frigidity. Hemisphere shackled to hemisphere by chains o: ice. Universal Novia Zembla. The earth an ice-floe grinding against other ite-flues. The archangels of malice and horror have done their work, and now they may take their thrones ol glacier, and look down upon the ruin they have wrought. What the destruction of the sun in the natural heavens would be to our physical earth, the destruction of Christianity would be to the moral world. The sur turned into darkness! Infidelity in our time is considered a great joke. There are people who rejoice to hear Christianity caricatured, and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quir'. and misrepresentation and badina and harlequinade. 1 propose today to take Infidelity and Atheism out of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy, and show you what infidels propose and what, if they are succesful, they will accomplish. There are those in all our communities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown, and who say the world would be better without it. I want to show you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminus of this crusade, and what this world will be when Atheism and Inndelity have triumphed over it, if they can. I say, if they can. I reiterate it, if they can. In the first place, it will be the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove it by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the Christian rel.gion has been dominant, woman's condition has been ameliorated and improved, and she Is deferred to and honored in a thousand things, and every gentleman takes off his hat before her. If your associations have been good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious surroundings. You know there are no better schools and seminaries in this country than the schools and seminaries for our young ladies. You know that while woman may suffer injustice in England and the United States, she has more of her rights in Christendom than she has anywhere else. Now, compare this with woman's condition in lands where Christianity has made little or no advance in China, in Barbary, in Borneo, in Tartary. in Egypt, in Hindostan. The Burmese sell their wives and daughters as so many sheep. The Hindoo Ilible makes it disgraceful and an outrage for a womai to listen to music, or look out of the window in the absence of her husband, and gives as a lawful ground fcr divorce a woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished his meal. What mean those white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China In the morning? Infanticide following infanticide. Female children destroyed simiJy because they are female. Woman harnessed to the plow as an ox. Woman veiled and barricaded, and in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her death a horror. The missionary of the Cross today In heathen lands preaches generally to two groups a gro-ip cf men

who do as they please and sit where they please: the other group, women hidden and carefully secluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher, but may not be seen. No refinement. No liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for the life to come. Ringed nose. Cramped foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soul. Now compare those two conditions. How far toward the latter condition that I speak of woul i a woman so if Christian influences were withdrawn and Christianity were destroyed? It is ony a question of dynamics. If fin object be lifted to a certain point and not fastened there, and the lifting power be withdrawn, how long before that object will fall down to the point from which it started? It will fall down, and it will go still further than the point from which it started. Christianity has lifted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skies. If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Christian religion, and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scales is Christianity I have read that there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard to those persons. In the silenc of your own soul make your observations. A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme.' A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Patricide, regicide, deicide. That is what they mean. That is what they will have, if they can. I say. if they can. Civilization hurled back inlo semi-barbarism, and semi-barbarism driven back into Hottentot savagery. The wheel of progress turned the other way and turned toward the dark ages. The clock of the centuries put back two thousand years. Go back, you andwich Islands, from your schools, nd from your colleges and from your reformed condition to what you were in 1S20. when the missionaries first t-ame. Call home the five hundred missionaries from India, and overthrow their two thousand schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and scatter the one hundred .nd forty thousand little children that hey have gathered out of barbarism .nto civilization. Obliterate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of David A heel in China, of Dr. King in Greece, )f Judson in Durmah. of David Urainrd amid the American aborigines, and eud home the three thousand missionaries of the Cross who are toiling in foreign lands. toiling for Christ's sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these three thousand men of God that they are of no use. Send äome the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society. Go home, American Hoard of Foreign Missions. Go home, ye Moravians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have planned. We were shocked a few years ago because of the attempt to blow up the Parliament Houses in Loudon: but if infidelity and atheism succeed in their attempt they will dynamite a world. Let them have their full way and this world will be a habitation of three rooms a habitation with just three rooms; the on; a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium. These infidel bands of music have only just begun their concertyea, they have only been stringing their instruments. 1 today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In the theater the tragedy comes first and the farce afterward; but in this infidel drama of death the farce comes first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former, atheists and infidels laugh and mock, but in the latter God himself will laugh and mock. He says so. "I will laugh at their calamity and mock when their fear come-th." From such a chasm of individual, national, world-wide ruin, stand back. Oh. young men. stand back from that chasm! You see the practical drift of my sermon. I want you to know where that road leads. Stand back from that chasm of ruin. The time is going to come (you and I may not live to sec it, but it will come, just as certainly as there is a God, it will come) when the Infidels and the atheists who openly and out and out and above-board preach and practice infidelity and atheism will be considered as criminals against society, as they are now criminals against God. Society will push out the leper, and the wretch with soul gangrened and ichorous and vermin-covered and rotting apart with his beastiality, will be left to die in the ditch, and be denied decent burial, and men will come with spades and cover up the carcass where it falls, that it poison not the air, and the only text in all the Bible appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah 22:19: "He shall be buried with the burial of an ass." At the beginning God said: "Let there be light," and light was.and light 13, and light shall be. So Christianity Is rolling on. and it is going to warm all nations, and all nations are to bask hi its light. Men may shut the wiudowblinds so they cannot see it, or they may nmoke the pipe of speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun! This white light of the Gospel made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven violet plucked from amid the spring grass, and the indigo of the southern jungles, and the blue of the 3kle.i. and the gr.?en of tb foliage. and

the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for Clod. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain." "The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Hallelujah, amen!

FACC1NC AT EATON. It Still Kiists, Hut in a Clreatly .Moditied lonii. The system of fagging exists at Eton, as in nearly all large public schools, but it is practiced now in a much modified form. As shortly described in the Chautauquan, it may be said to be the acknowledged righ. of elder boys to exact from the younger boys (their fag.-) certain services menial and otherwise. Its origin is obscure; it may have arisen as an economy, when schools were poor, as it must save expense and labor for the younger boys to black boots, make tea and boil eggs for the older ones. But Eton is now exceedingly wealthy, its endowments being nearly 21.000 pounds a year, and there can be no reason why. because a lad is young, he should have to wait upon his schoolmate as his servant and be exposed to the chance of very great tyranny. In the latter end of the last century the fagging at Eton was so cruel and excessive that it is reported that often a young fag would be kept up waiting on his master till 1 o'clock in the morning, and being from lack of time prevented from getting his own lessons for the next day, would receive a thrashing from the master for the omission. Many instances of heartrending bullying and cruelty practiced by the big boys on their fags were reported, but fagging at Eton has been greatly reformed. This and many other improvements were mainly due to the exertions of Dr. Hawtrey. who was head master from 1831 to 1S53, and who. in conjunction with Provost Hodgson, wrought most of the changes which have given the college its present standing. Before Or. Huwtrey's appointment the number of the pupils had fallen to something under 200. the morals and tone of the school were exceedingly low and terrible abuses had crept in. Dr. Hawtrey at once commenced the work of reforms, sweeping innovations were made and new regulations instituted; the tone of the school improved and the numbers rose to 777, the highest yet attained. Styles lit Face. Every age has its own style of face and features, due possibly to the fashions of the day. which impress themselves even in the expression of the human countenance. Xo one who studies modern portraiture can fail to note the resemblance that runs through the works of the fashionable painters. It is not merely their characteristic style, but the type which they have transferred to canvas and which almost borders on sameness. These well-born, carefully trained beauties of today are as much alike as peas in one pod. They only vary in degree. Of course, the artist "idealizes!" he would not be an artist did he not find more in the face before his easel than the sitter sees when she gazes in the mirror, or her family or friends may detect in daily familiarity. All the sumptuous detail of costume also adds to the variety of a picture, but in pose, in expression, there is traceable only this one woman of the end of the century, a creature of superb physique, clothed or unclothed like a royal pricess. Compare her with the pictured women of 109 or 200 years ago. and see how altogether changed is this "eternal feminine." In 50 years time there will be produced another 'beauty," but one ventures to predict it will have as great sameness as the beauty which commands our admiration in the portrait exhibitions of the present day. and which shows that fashionable painters are slaves to their subjects' will. Boston Transcript. A Tlioreuu Story. Bret Harte works away quietly in London, and seems to like the town, although the climate can hardly bear comparison with that of California. The effete 1-ixury of the capital appears to suit hiu better than the rigors of the backwoods. 1 was speaking with him once on this subject, writes Robert Barr in the Philadelphia Post, and upholding the rigid life Henry Thoreau had led at Waiden pond, as compared with the luxurious surroundings of many modern authors. I advocated a return to the simpler habits of our ancestors. "Yes," he said, "living on parched peas sounds very fine In a book. When I visited Emerson I was astonished to find how close Waiden pond was to the Emerson homestead, and I commented on this. I had Imagined that the pond waa away out in the wilderness, miles from any human habitation. Before Emerson could reply, Mrs. Emerson spoke up in the tone of a woman exposing a humbug: 'Oh, yes, Henry took good care not to get out of hearing of our dinnerhorn " How many young men who are actors in the first part of this drama have ever reheaued in thought the parts tKep may tako in the last three acts?

Two IVoplc Minsing from Home. New Albany. Jnd. Kdwaid Krstiite was a former suitor for the hand cf Mrs. Amos Zonor, who discarded him and married a young farmer near Breckinridge. Erstine was much chagrined over his defeat and left the neighborhood, and when the Spanish war broke out he enlisted and was badly wounded at Santiago. He returned to Breckinridge, and during his convalescence he had opportunity of meeting his forme- Maine. Both are now missing. Mr. Zenor reports that he will make no effort to locate Mrs. Zenor. who left her little child behind. A Keceiter Ha Hecu Named. Anderson, Ind.

Harvey Palmer, acting editor of the Bulletin, while going to his rooms late at night, was unexpectedly attacked by W. B. Foley, formerly deputy prosecutor, and severely beaten. Mr. Foley was incensed over a published attack, which the Bulletin refused to retract.

HUMOR OF THE LAW. The opinion of a New York lower court, as printed in a certain report, says in respect to the conclusions of a referee: "The report is so exhausting that the court could not improve on it." This is modest, of course, but Judges do not always realize how exhausting their opinions are. A rural justice on being asked by an attorney If a certain decision of his was "accordin to the code," replied: "I dunno whether it is or not, an what'3 more, I don't keer! I ha'n't got no code roun here sence Tuesday wuz a month ago, when I hit a lawyer on the head with it an split it all to pieces." Atlanta Constitution. Judgft Breckinridge in reprimanding a criminal, among other hard names called him a scoundrel. The prisoner replied: "Sir, I am not as great a scoundrel as your honor takes me to be." "Put your word3 closer together," replied the judge. Sir Henry Hawkins was once presiding over a long, tedious, and uninteresting trial, and was listening apparently with great attention to a very long-winded speech from a learned counsel. After awhile he made a pencil memorandum, folded it, and sent it by the usher to the Q. C. in Question, who, unfolding the paper, found these words: "Patience competition. Gold medal. Sir Henry Hawkins; honorable mention. Job." In a contest over the right to build a flume, plaintiffs promised to make It secure, "and like the deacon's shay. make it strongest In the weakest point." Tut the court said: "It Is not the plaintiff's flume, though, that this court thinks should be made strongest in its weakest point, but the proceeding by which they can alone obtain the right to build the flume. However, as far as they have gone, their case is truly like the deacon's shay it has collapsed entirely, and, like the deacon, they are on the rock, for they are out of court."

MUSICAL BOXES IN FORMS. MANY The chief industry of Geneva is the manufacture of musical boxes. Thousands of men, women and children art employed in the factories, one ol which was visited by a traveler, who glve3 some interesting particulars about his visit. An attendant invited him to take a seat. He did so, and strains of delightfU9 music came from the chair. He hung his hat on a rack and put his stick In the stand. Music came from both rack and stand. He wrote his name In the visitors register, and on dipping his pen Into the ink music burst forth from the inkstand. The manager of the factory explained the process of making musical boxes, a business which rcQulres patience and nicety. The different parts are made by men who are experts in those parts, and who do nothing else, year In and year cut. The music is marked on the cylinder by a man who has served several years of apprenticeship. Another man Inserts in the marked places pegs which have been filed! to a uniform length. The comb, or set of teeth, which strikes the pegs and makes the sound, Is arranged by a man who does nothing else. The cylinder Is then revolved, to see that every peg produces a proper tone. The most delicate work of all is th revising of each peg. It is done by a workman who has a good ear for music. He sees that every peg is in Its proper place a: d is bent at the correct angle. When the Instrument la In its case an expert examines It to see that the time is perfect. Density In I'hllllplne. Americans can hardly realize nor densely some of the Philippine possessions are peopled. Malolos is less than thirty miles from Manila, yet day after day the American columns advanced through towns and cities from 1,000 to 10,000 population. The fact is, as shown by the latest census, that the population of the whole island of Luzon averages more to the square mile than many parts of the United States. By the census of 1890, Illinois had sixty-eight persons to the square mile of territory, and Indiana had sixtyone. Luzon, by the censi.3 of 1889, had seventy-nine. There are parts of Luzon which are mountainous and almost uninhabited. The population is concentrated largely in the richer portions. In many provinces the population exceeds 200 to the square mile, which la greater In density than Is found In any state of this country except Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Luzon i3 not nearly the most densely populated Island of the Philippines. The entire island of Cebu averages ilO people to the square mile, while Bohol has 1S3 and Panay has 155.
