TALMAGE'S SERMON. THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN THE SUBJECT. "Lo, These Are Parts of the Way" Bat IIuw Little a Portion Is Heart! f Illm" Job xxvJ, 14 Working of DlTtnt- Power. Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, June lti. In this discourse Dr. Talmage raises high expectations ot the day when that which is now only dimly seen will be fully revealed; text. Job xxvi, 14: "Lo, these re parts of his ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand?" The least understood b 'ing in the universe is (Jod. Biaspaemons would be any attempt by painting or sculpture to represent bim. Egyptian hieroglyphs tried to suggest him by putting the figure an eye upjn a sword, implying that Jod sees ami mies, bat how imperfect the suggest 'on! Wuen we s ak bins, it is almost always in language hgur tl e. Be is "Ligut" or La. From ob High," or he la a "High Tower" ot the "Fountain of living Wal His splendor is so great Ü it no man can see him and liV". When Ute group oi great theologians assembled in Westminster abbey ur the purpose of making a system of religious belief, thy first o:' all wanted an answer to the question, "Who is God?'" Jib one desired to undertake the answering of that overmastering question. They finally concluded to give tht task to the young st mi.ii in the assembly, who happened to be Rev. George Gillespie. He consented tc undertake it on the condition that they would first unite with him in prayer for divine direction. He began his prayer by saying. "O God, thou art a spirit infinite, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in thy being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth." That first sentence of Qflknnift'i prayer was unanimously adopted by the assembly as the best definition of God. But, after all, it was only a partial rocceBS, and after everything that language can do when put to the utmost strain and all we can see of God in the natural world and realize of God in the providential world we are forced to cry out with Job in my text: "La, these are parts of the way-. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who ran understand?" ;oj'4 War of sSaflsa We try to satisfy ourselves with saying. "It is natural law that controls things, gravitation is at work, centripetal and centrifugal forces respond to each other." But what is natural law? It is only God's way of doing things At every point in the universe it is God's direct and continuous power that controls and harmonizes and sustains. That power withdrawn one instant would make the planetary system and all the worlds which astronomy reveals one universal wreck, bereft hemispheres, dismantled sunsets, dead constellations, debris of worlds. What power it must be that keeps the internal fires of our world imprisoned only here and there spurting from a Cotopaxi. or a Stromboll, or from a Vesuvius, putting Pompeii and Herculaneum into sepulcher, but for the most part the internal fires chained in their cages of rock, and century after century unable to break the chain or burst open the door What rower to keep the component parts of the air In right proportion, so that all around the world the nations may breathe In health, the frosts and the heats hindered from working universal demolition! Power, as Isaiah says, "to take up the isles as a very little thing." Ceylon and Borneo and Hawaii as though they were pebbles; power to weigh the mountains in scales" and the "hills in balances" Tenerife and the Cordilleras. To move a rock we must have lever and srew and great machinery, but God moves the world with nothing but a word; power to create worlds and power to destroy them, ai from observation again and again they have been seen red with flame. Uted pal? - rh ahes and then scattered Weaafeags mi ilie Divine rower. We get some Uttie idea of the divine power when we see how it buries the proudest ctt; .-s and astfcas. Ancient Memphis it has grosmd up mtil many of its ruins are no larger than your thumb nail and you can hardly find a souvenir large enough to remind you of your visit. The city of Tyre Is under the sea wn leb washes the shore. Oü which are only a few crumb ing miliars left. Sodom ami Gormorrah are covered by waters so death ful that not a fish tan live in them. Babylon and Ninevah are so blotted out of existence that not one uninjured shaft of their ancient splendor remains. Nothing but omnipotente could have put them down and put them under. The antediluvian world was able to send to the postdiluvian world only one ship with a very small passenger list. Omnipotence first rolled the seas over the land, and then told them to go back to their usual channels as rivers and lakes and oceans At omnipotent command t!.- waters oouncing upon their prey and at r mni.tr.ient com- I mand slinking bark into their appro- ; priate places. By such rehearsal we try to arouse our appreciation of what om- , nipotence is, and our reverence is excited, and our adoration is intensified. I but after all we find ourselves at the foot of a mountain we cannot climb, ' hovering over a depth we cannot fathom, at the rim of a circumference we cannot compass, and we feel like first going down on our knees and then like falling flat upon our faces as we exelalm: "Lo, these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion Is heard o him' But the thunder of his power who can understand?" The Oofl of Abraham. A tradition says that Abraham of tbe Old Testament was when an Infam bidden in a cave because of the perse cutions of Nimrod. The first time the child came out of the cavern it was right, and he looked up at the star and cried. "This is my God," but the star disappeared, and Abraham said. "No, that cannot be my God." After awhile the moon rose, and Abraham said, 'That Is my God." but It set, and Abraham was again disappointed. After awhile the sun rose, and he said, "Why, truly, here is my God," but tbe sun went down, and Abraham was sad

dened. Not until the God of the Bible

appeared to Abraham was he satisfied, and his faith was so great that he was called "the Father of the Faithful." All that the theologians know of God's wisdom is insignificant compared with the wisdom beyond human comprehension. The human race never has had and never will have enough brain or heart to measure the wisdom of God. I can think of only two authors who have expressed the exact facts. The one was Paul, who says. "Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out.'" The other author was the scientist who composed my text. I think he wrote it during a thunderstorm, for the chapter says much about the clouds and describes the tremor of the earth under the reverberations. Witty writers sometimes depreciate the thunder and say it is the lightning that strikes, but I am sure God thinks well of the thunder, or he would not make so much of it. and all up and down the Bible he uses the thunder to give emphasis. It was the thunder that shook When the law was given, it was ith thunder that the Lord discomfited the Philistines at Bben-eser. Job pictures the war horse ia having a neck clothed with thunder. S:. .John, in an apocalyptic vision, again and again heard the thunder. The thunder, which b now quite well explained by the electricians, was- the overpowering mystery of the ancients, and standing among those mysteries Job exclaimed? L4, these are parts of his way?. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand? The Omnipresence of BotSa We have all been painfully reminded in our own experiences that we cannot be in two places at the same time. Stadler, the astronomer, went on with his explorations until he concluded that the star Alcyone, one of the Pleiades, was the center of the universe, and it was a tixed world, and all the other worlds revolved around that world, and some think that that world is heaven and God's throne is there, and there reside the nations of the blest. But he is no more there than he is here. Indeed. Alcyone has been found to be in motion, and it also is revolving around some great center. But no plaee has yet been found where God is not present by sustaining power. Omnipresence; Who fully appreciates it? Not L Not you. Sometimes we hear him in a whisper. Sometimes we hear him in the voice of the storm that jars the Adriondacks. But we cannoj swim across this ocean. The finite cannot measure the infinite. We feel as Job did after finding God in the sold mines and the silver mines of Asia, saying. "There is a vein for the silver and a place for the gold j where they fine it." And after exstoring the heavens as an astromoner and finding God in distant worlds and I l - ! . i ; 1 i v I -J I Becoming acquainted niiii vjrion auo Mazzaroth and Arcturus and noticing the tides of the sea the inspired poet expresses his incapacity to understand such evidences of wisdom and power and says: "Im. these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand?" So every system of theology has attempted to describe and define the divine attribute of iove. Easy enough is it to define fatherly love, motherly iove, conjugal love, fraternal love, sisterly love and love of country, but the love of God defies all vocabulary. For many hundreds oi years poets have tried to sing it and painters have tried to sketch it and ministers of the gospel to preach it and martyrs in the fire and Christians on their deathbeds have extolled it. and we can tell what it is like, but no one has yet fully told what it is. Men speak of the love of God as though it were first felt between the pointing of Bethlehem star and the pounding of the crucifixion hammer. But no! Long before that existed the love of God. Seeing ! Face to Fare. Only glimpses of God have we in this world, but what an hour it will be when we first see him, and we will have no more frisrht than I feel when 1 now see you It will not be with mortal eye that we will behold him. but with the vision of a cleansed, for- j given and perfected spirit. Of all the ; quintillion ages of eternity to lis the most thrilling hour will be the first hOW when we meet him as he is. I This may account for something you have all seen and may not have under- ! stood. Have you not noticed how that after death of the old Christian lo iks young again or the features resume the look of 20 or 30 years before? i he ' weariness is gone out of the face; there is something strikingly restful and placid; there is a pleased look Where before there was a disturbed look. What has wrought the change? I ! think the dying Christian saw God. At the moment the soul left the body what the soul saw left its impression on the countenance. I think that is what gave that old Christian face after death the radiant and triumphant look. The bestormed spirit has reached the harbor: the hard battle of life is ended In victory. The body took that 'ook the moment heaven began, and the curt.) in was completely lifted and the glories of Jehovah's presence rushed upon the soul. The departing spirit left on the old man's face a glad goodby, and that first look gave the pleased curve to the dying lip and smootned out the wrinkles and touched all the lineaments with an indescribable radiance. As no one else explains that improved and gladdened post mortem look. I try to explain it, saying: "He saw God'" "She saw God!" Keeping; Flowers Fresh. Cut dowers, though universally employed, are seldom treated as they ought to be. so here are a few hints for those who like to keep their blossoms fresh as long as possible. First of all, they should be put Into some large receptacle and sprinkled freely with water all over. Only after this preliminary operation it is wise to transfer them to the several pots they are to occupy. They ought to be taken out every morning, sprinkled si on the first day, the tip of the stem then being cut off, and fresh water, (lowing from a tap, should be allowed to run over the stalks, holding the flowers head downward, says the Philadelphia Press. Finally, and herein lies the principal secret of success, the water in the vases may be doctored" in this manner. Mix thoroughly together a table-

spoonful of finely shredded yellaw soap, enough chloride of sodium to cover a florin, and half a pint of water. Put in a portion of this mixture into every receptacle and fill in the usual way. A pinch of borax In each one will preserve all the coloring of the most brilliant flowers, and by renewing the supply of the above solution every two or three days the flowers will last for a ouple of weeks or more. Palms and all foliage plants must be carefully but moderately watered, washed, put outside daily fc- a bath of air and sunshine and must not be stood in draughty places.

Boxers as Bill Stickers. The Boxers are still causing considerable anxiety in some part of China. Pictorial Boxer lacards are being sold at many of the markets. One is a sheet fourteen by twenty-four inches in size, portraying, in .ed, yellow and green, the conquests of the Boxen over the foreigners. It is entitled ""The Rampage of the Five Foreign (Pow. rs) in China." The central figure is a foreign house of impossible architecture, which is being set on fire by dames from the finger tips of young girls labeled "Bright. Red Lanterns." On the other side of the doomed structure is a snake or dragon called the "Fire Go :.'" Below is the "Golden Bell," under which the Boxers aro crawling to s.-cure invisibility, and at the bottom five unfortunate foreigners are being done to death with pike and sword. This sort of thing has often a most unfortunate effect upon the average uneducated Chi nan en. Westminster Gazette. Klectriclty at Long: Range. The street ear3 in Oakland, Cal.. are now operated with electricity from the Yuba river. 140 miles distant. The water power, having been converted into electricity. Is carried on wires sixtenths of an inch in diameter, made of an alloy of copper and aluminum. The electrical pressure is 40,000 volts, and the loss in transmission is said to 5 per cent. This is by far the longest electrical transmission system, for power purposes in existence, and if the loss is as small as it is stated to be, it Is the most promising indication of the possibilities of long-distance transmission yet furnished. "Something like six years ago." says the Railway Engineering Review, "a test of electric transmission over a line between Frankfort and Lauffen, in Germany, a distance of 110 miles, was made for experimental purposes, but not until the test of the plant above referred to has transmission for commercial purposes over a line of such great length been a fact." Cutting Dowu the Arm) The initial step has been taken by the War department toward the reduction of the force ot regulars in the Philippines to 10,900. Orders were caMed General MacArthnr to send to the United States the Fourteenth. Eighteenth and Twenty-third regiments of Intently, Fourth cavalry, Twentyuinth, Thirtieth, Thirty-second and Thirty-third companies of coast artillery and the First. Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth and Thirteenth batteries of field artillery. The homeward movement of these troops can not be begun until after the volunteers have been returned At present it is believed that 40.000 men will be enough for the Philippines. The manner in which the troops shall be distributed among the different arms of the service is as follows: Cavalry. 15,840 men; artillery, oast and field, 18.802. and 38,529 infantrymen. The total enlisted strength will be 71. .".04 men. The army, including officers, will aggregate about (fO.OSt King' I.on(?-Sought riiot;r:ipli.

The last man to go for a helping hand for any new undertaking is the man who has plenty of time on his hands. It is the man and woman who are doing most who are always willing to do a little more. The people who are tired of life are not those who work, but those who are too proud or too lazy to do so. Many of the rich are morbidly restless, while those who have to earn their daily bread are comparatively contented and happy. The Bible says that "the sie. p of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much." (Feci. v. 12): and the busy worker has health and blessing which the listless Idler never knows. -Selected. Toper's Children Are Weak. "Not infrequently, the children ot topers die of hereditary weakness, not only showing a pronounced tendency toward diseases of the brain, epilepsy and Idiocy, but they are also frequently subject to vicious inclinations and criminal tendencies. They lack peri option for that which is moral and which contributes to a steady, wellordered career. Weighted with the burden of hereditary mental weakness, they not nnfrequently take to tramping, fall Into Clime, or become the victims of drunkenness or insanity. The tendency to drink degenerates not only th- existing race, but also the coming generation." Individual Itesponslhllltr. Francis E. Clark says: "Many revivals can be traced, so far as human agency goes, directly to the prayer of some individual Christian; sometimes to the prayer of a helpless invalid who could never attend a prayer meeting. What God has done, God will do, if we are ready for Him to work through us."

JVO&A'BLES TO WE'D.

The announcein-nt of the engagement of Miss Irene Van Brugh to Mr. Dion Boucicault has been followed by the statement that the wedding will not take place until autumn. The romance between the actor and "BciKer to B. N. Baker of Baltimore will, in all probability, soon be to the steamship business what Charles If. Schwab is to the iron and steel trade the head of the largest syndicate of its kind in the world. Mr. Baker is president of the Atlantic Transport line. B "fore the two return to America it Is expected that the Atlantic Transport Leyland and several other big steamship lines will have been consolidated into one company, with a capital of $150,000,000, and with Mr. Baker at Its head. Mr. Literary Lights Go Out. There is writing without end in these days, but two deaths which have Just occurred in England suggest that literary fame was never less a question of literary quality or more unstable than it is now. Walter Besant's literary reputation rests principally upon a single novel of sociological import which fell in nicely with a movement Of the times. The author enjoyed great popularity after Its publication, but he was not a great writer and some of his later work has certainly been of a commonplace kind. Robert Buchanan, who had a much smaller audience, was a virile poet, novelist and publicist, and was In some respects a very b illlant writer. But his attitude was so commonly harshly critical and resentful that he lived without the sjmpathy of contemporary authors, who found it convenient to speak slightingly of his self-assertion and his prejudices. His recent contribution to one of the reviews, entitled "The Voice of the Hooligan," Is sn excellent example of his controversial style." It is a fierce arraignment y Kipling, who was defended by the

the actress began when both were playing in Arthur Wing Pinero's comedy, "Trelawney of the Wells," three years ago. Miss Van Brugh was the Rose Trelawney and Mr. Boucicault the Sir William Cower of the cast.

Ki-Val Sc: tuab. Baker is a hustling financier of the highest ty?e. Not only has he built up a great steamship line, but he has done a number of gcod deeds that should, and probably will, secure him a place in American history. When the Spanish-American war broke out Mr. Baker gave to the United States government the use of the big steamer Missouri, free of all cost. The Missouri was used as a hospital ship and operated for nine months by the regular officers and crew at an expense to Baker of $5.000 a month. No sooner way, by Besant, and a remarkable essay in declamation, rich in both language and allusion. But even though Kipling himself has failed to prove title to his former popularity, the article was unfair and exaggerated. It dwelt too much upon his faults, too little upon those evidences of genius which are likely to give some of his stories a very long life as the lives of stories go. Upon the whole Besant's judgment was the better one. and Kipling still has greater claims to permanency than his vanished friend or foe or any of his younger contemporaries. John McDuffle of Cambridge, Mass., is to be rewarded for twenty-five years of service as clerk of the committee of that city by a trip to Europe. The mayor will grant leave of absence and the citizens are to subscribe $1,500. The dowager duchess of Abercorn, who will shortly enter her nineteenth year, can boast more descendants than even Queen Victoria could. The queen had seventy-four of these surviving, while the duchess has 128.

Since then they have never been members of the same company. Miss Van Brugh is the sister of another well known actress, Violet Van Brugh, Mrs. Arthur Bourchler, but does not come from a theatrical family. She went upon the stage in 18S8, when a young girl. For several years she played a round of small parts. Her first appearance in a part of large importance was in that of Lady Rosamond in "The Liars." in 1897. Her after rise was rapid, Mr. Pinero choosing her the following year to create the role of Sophy Fu'.lgarney in Mr. Pinero's "The Gay Lord Quex." By reason of her American tour with Mr. Hare's company, her impersonation also won her international reputation. Dion Boucicault is the son of the Irish actor-dramatist of that name. He is older than his future wife, being now about 40 years of age. He was born in New York and made his first appearance on the stage as Dauphin in "Louis XI." at Booth's theater, New York, in 1SS0. He went to London a few years later, and today is known as an excellent actor of character and eccentric parts.

had war been declared between Great Britain and the Boer republics than Mr. Baker duplicated his offer co the British government, giving them the use of the steamship Maine. Mr. Baker is a comparatively young man, being several years under 50. The Australian S'tdjindlcs. The victims of a great gold mining speculation in Australia have taken it into their heads that they can get some of the money back. It appears that the promoters sold shares to the amount of $350,000,000 in the aggregate to people in Australia and Europe, whose haste to get rich made them too credulous. Now these people, or some of them, hope to find part of their lost cash through an investigation by the parliament of the new Australian federation. They admit that $70.000,000 used in "development" is gone beyond recovery and that the market value of the $330,000,000 in stock for which they paid more than par is $30,000.000. They are out for the remaining $250,000,000, alleging that the promoters got the money from them by false representations. From this we learn that they are still credulous. All they can get back from the swindling promoters will not help them much. Possibly, however, if they do not hunt with a brass band they may have the satisfaction of seeing some of the swindlers behind the bars. Jfetv yorK!-t Uramptrxg "Parly. Walter Page of New York has organized a party to walk through the most romantic parts of the mountains of North Carolina this summer. An old negro "Uncle Isaac," a former slave of the I'age family will act as guide and drive a strong pair of mules to a wagon which is to contain the tents and provisions. There are to be fifteen in the party, and they will tramp for 30 days. The young sultan of Johore will spend the summer in Europe and is now in Paris with a large party. The sultan was born in 1S75 and succeeded to the sult:mate on the death of his father six years ago. He is fond of sport and has a large string of race horses, his colors being well known on the courses In Sinnanore and Calcutta. Secrets of Tammany's Success Gustavus Myers, author of the only complete history of Tammany, contributes to the June Forum an article in which he seeks to acount for the continued power of that society.- in spite of its century of existence. He as cribes the strength of Tammany to the fact that it has always pretended to stand for the poor as against the rich for the democracy as against the aristocracy. Its appeal to class feeling , is the chief secret of its power. SThe other sources of its success are its perfect organiaztion and the astuteness of many of Its leaders. To these causes Mr. Myers have added the further important fact that the members of Tammany are men who are willing to surrender their political independence absolutely into the hands of s boss. This gives the society a compact unity which the more self-respecting elements of New York have never been able to achieve. The Dowager Duchess of Abercorn, who will soon enter her 90th 'ear, can boast of even more descendants than Queen Victoria. She has 128 survivlaf

ENDS THIRD-TERM TALK. Pr.!,iet KeKialay T Out with Am al Statement. The following statement has been given out at the White House: "I regret that the suggestion of a third term has been made. I doubt whether 1 am called upon to give it notice. But there are now questions of the gravest importance before the administration and the country, and their ju&t eon si deration honM not be prejudiced in the public mind by even the suspicion of the thought of a third term. In view, therefore, of th reiteration of the suggestion of it. I will say now, once for all, expressing a long-settled conviction that I not only am not and will not be a candidate for a third term, but would not accept a nomination for it if It were tendered me. My only ambition is to serve through my second term to the acceptance of my countrymen, whose generous confidence I so deeply appreciate, and theo with then do my duty in the ranks of private citizenship.
