the I.ov« mt God will r?ot Insure In the life _ following' discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in Brooklyn and New York City on a recent Sabbath, the text being: - One thing thou laekest.—Mark x.,lL The young man of the text was a splendid nature. We fall in love with him at the first glance. He was amiable, and frank, and earnest, and educated, and refined, and respectable, and moral, and yet he was not a Christian. And so Christ addressed him in the words that I have addressed to yon: “One thing thou laekest.” I suppose that that text was no more appropriate to the young man of whom I have spoken than it is appropriate to a great multitude of people in this audience. There are many things in which you are not lacking. For instance, yon are not lacking in a good home. It is, perhaps, no more than an hour ago that yon closed the door, returning to see whether itwas well fastened, of one of the best homes in this city. The younger children of the house already asleep, the older ones, hearing your returning footsteps, will rush to the door to meet yon. And in these winter evenings, the children at the stand with their lessons, the Wife plying the needle, and you reading the book or the paper, you feel that yon have a good home. Neither are yon lacking in the refinements and the courtesies of life. Yon understand the polite phraseology of invitation, regard and apology. You have an appropriate apparel. I shall wear no better dress at the wedding than when I come to the marriage of the King’s son. If I am well clothed on the other

occasions I will be in religious audience. However reckless I may be about my personal appearance at other times, when I come into consecrated assemblage I shall have , on the best dress I have. We. all understand the proprieties of everyda^Jifc proprieties Ot a'Sabbath life. Neither are yon lacking in worldly success. Yonbave not made as much ! money as you would like to make, but you have an income. Wliile others are false when they say they have no income or are making no money, you have never told that falsehood. You have had a livelihood orVou have fallen upon old resources, which is just the same thing, for God is just as good to us when He takes care of us by a surplus of the past as by present success. While there are thousands of men with hunger tearing at the throat with the strength of a tiger’s paw, notone of you is hungry. Neither are you lacking in pleasant friendship. You have real good friends. If the scarlet fever should come to-night to your house, yon know very well who would come in and sit up with the sick one; or, if death should come, you know, who would come in and take your hand tight in theirs with that peculiar grip which means, “I’ll stahd by you,” and after the life has fled from the loved one, take you by the arm and lead you into the next room, and while you are gone to Greenwood they would stay in the house and put aside the garments and the playthings that might bring to your mind too severely your great loss. Friends? You all have friends Neither are yon lacking in your admiration of the Christion religion. There is nothing that makes you so angry as to have a man malign Christ. You get red in the face, and you say: “Sir, I want you to understand that though I am not myself a Christian, I don’t like such things said as that in my store,” and the man goes off, giiring you a parting salutation, but you hardly answer him. You are provoked beyond all bounds Many of you have been supporters of religion and have given more ! to the cause of Christ than some who ! profess His faith. There is nothing that would please you more than to see your son or daughter standing at the altar of Christ, taking the vows of the Christian. It might be a little hard on ypu, and might make you nervous and agitated for a little while; but you would be man-enough to say: “My child, that is right. Go on. I am glad you haven’t been kept back by my example. I hope some day to join you.” You believe all the doctrines of religion. A man out yonder says: “I am a sinner.” You respond: “So am I.” Some one says: “I believe that Christ came to save the world.” You say: “So do I.” Looking at your character, at your surroundings, I find a thousand things about which to congratulate yon; and yet I must tell you in the love and fear of God, and with reference to my last account: “One thing thou lack

You need, my friends, in the first place, the element of happiness. Some days you feel wretched, You do not known what is the matter with yon. You say: “I did not sleep last night. I think that must be the reason of my restlessness;” or “I hare eaten something that did not agree 'with me, and I think that must be the reason.” And you are unhappy. O, my friends, happiness does not depend upon physical condition. Some of the happiest people I have ever known have been those who have been wrapped in consumption or stung with neuralgia, or burning with the slow fire of some fever. I never shall forget one man in my first parish, who, in exeruci^iodn of body cried out: “Mr. Talipage, I forget all my pain in the Ireland joy of Jesus Christ. 1 capirthink of my sufferings when T^hlnk of Christ” Why his face was iliumined. There are young men in this house who would give testimony to show that there is no happiness outside of Christ while there is great joy in His service. There “are young men who have not been Cliristians more than six months, who w ould stand up to-night if I should ask them, and say in those six months they have had more joy and satisfaction than in all the years of their frivolity and dissipation. Go to the door of the gin-shop to-night and when the gang of young men come out ask them whether 1hey are happy. They laugh along the street and they jeer, and they shout; but nobody has any idea that they are happy. I could call upon the aged men in this bouse to give testimony. There are aged men here who tried the world, and they tried religion, and they are willing to testify on our side. ][t was not long ago that an aged man arose in a praying circles, and said: “Bretliren, I lost my son just as be graduated from college, and it broke my heart; but I am glad now he is gone. He Is at rest, escaped from all sorrow and, from all trouble. And then, in 1867,1 lost all my property,

has ail it Tke them, 'ighter than sui shine and that is sweeter than music, tf a harpist takes a harp and finds thst all the strings are broken but one string, he does not try to play upon it Yet here I will show yon an aged man, thi s strings of whose Joy are all broken save one, and yet he thrumbs it with svch satisfaction, such melody, that this angels of God stop the swift stroke of their wings, and horer about the place until the music ceases. 0, religion’s “ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." And if yon have not the satisfaction that is to be found in Jesus Christ, I must tell yon, with all the concentrated emphasis of my soul: “One thing thou fnnlrad. ”

I remark again, that yon lack the element of usefulness. Where is your business? You say it is No. 45 such a street, or No. 260 such a street, or No. 300 such a street. My friend immortal, your bu siness is wherever there is a tear to be wiped away or a soul to be saved. You may, before coming to Christ, do a great m any noble things. You take a loaf of bread to that starving man in the alley; but he wants immortal bread. You tike a pound of candles to thatdark shanty. They want the light that springs from the throne of God, and you can not take it because you have it not in your own heart. You know that the flight of an arrow depends very much upon the strength of the bow, and I have to tell jrou that the best bow that was ever made was made out of the cross of Christ; and when religion takes a soul tmd puts it on that, and pulls it back and lets it fly, every time it brings down a Saul or Goliath. There are people here of high social position, and large means, and cultured minds, who, if they would come into the kingdom of God. would set the city on fire with religious awakening. Oh, hear you not the more than million' voices of those in these two cities,/* hoare union verted? Voices of-those who in these two cities are dying in thensins? 'fhey want light. They want bread. They want Christ. They want Heaven . Oh, that the Lord would make you a flaming evangel. As for myself, I have sworn before high Heaven that I will preach this Gospel as well as I can, in all its fullness, until every fiber of my body, and every faculty of my mind, and every passion of my soul is exhausted. But we all have a work to do. I can not do your work, nor can you do my work. God points us out, the place where we are to serve, and yet are there not people in this house who are thirty, forty, fifty and sixty years of age, and yet have not begun' the great work for which they were created? With every worldly equipment, 1 “One thing thon lackest.” Again, you lack the element of personal safety. Where are those people who associated with you twenty years ago? Where are those people that, fifteen years ago, used to cross South Ferry or Fulton Ferry with you to New York? Walk down the street where you were in business fifteen years ago and see hohr all the signs have changed. Where are the people gone? How many of them are landed in eternity I can not say, but many, many. .1 went to the village of my boyhood. The houses were all changed. 1 passed one honse in which on^e resided a man who had lived an earnest, useful life, and he is in glory now. In the next house a miser lived. He devoured widows’ houses, and spent his whole life in trying to make the world worse and worse. And he is gone—the good man and the miser both gene to the same place. Ah, did they go to the same place? It is an infinite absurdity to suppose them both in the same place. If the miser had a harp, what tune did he play on it! Oh, my, friends, I commend to you this religion as the only personal safety. When you die, where are you going to? When we leave all these scenes, upon what scenes will we enter? When we were on shipboard, and we all felt that we must go to the bottom, was I right in saying to one next me: “I wonder if we will reach Heaven if' we do go down tonight.” Was I wise or unwise in asking that question? I tell you that man is a fool who never thinks of the great

If you pay money you take a receipt. If you buy land you record the deed. Why? Because every thing is so uncertain you want it down it black and white, yon say. For a house and lot twenty-five feet front by one hundred feet deep, all security; but for a soul, vast as eternity, nothing, nothing! If some man or woman, standing in some of these aisleS, should drop down, where would you go to? Which is your destiny? Suppose a man is prepared for the fut ure world, what difference does it make to him whether he goes to his home to-day or goes into glory? Only this difference: if he dies he is better off. Where he had one joy on earth he will have a million in Heaven. When he has a small sphere here he will have a grand sphere there. Perhaps it would cost you sixty or one hundred or one hundred and fifty dollars to have your physical life insured, and yet free of charge I offer you insurance on your immortal life, payable not at your decease, out now, and to-morrow and every day and always. My hope in Christ is not so bright as many Christians, I know; but I would not give it up for the whole universe, in one cash payment,' if it were offered me. I t has 'been so much comfort to me in time of trouble; it has been so much strength to me when I have been assailed; it has been so much rest to me when I have been ]>erplexed, and it is around my heart such an encasement of satisfaction an d blessedness that I can stand here before God and say: Take away my health, take away my life, take every thing rather than rob rue of this hope, this plain, simple hope which I have in Jesus Christ, my Lord. I must have this robe when the last chill strikes through me. I must have this light when all other lights ifo out in the blast that comes up from ti re cold Jordan. I must have this sword with which to fight my way through all those foes on my way heaven ward. When I was in London I saw there the wonderful armor of Henry VIII. and Edward III. And yet I have to tell you that there is nothing in chain mail or brass plate, or gauntlet, or halberd, -that makes a man so safe as the armor in which the Lord Clod clothes His dear children. O, there is a safety in religion. You will ride down all your foea Look out for that ixan who has the strength of the Lord God with him. In olden times the horsemen used to ride into battle with lifted faces, and the enemy fled the field. The Lord on the white horse of victor;', and With lifted lances of Divine strong th, rides into the battle and down goes tiie spiritual foe; while the victor shouts the triumph through the Lord Jesus Christ Asa matter of personal safety my dear friends, you must have this religion. I ap jly my su bjeet to several classes of people before me. First to that great multitude of young people in this house. Some of these young men are in boirding houses. They have but few social advantages. They think that n 3 one cares for their souls. Many of them are on small salaries, and they are mumped and bothered perpetually,

"One thing thou lackesttk But I apply this subject to the not many here—not many in blage. People do not That is the general there an aged man in you the truth. You enough in this can not satisfy an imi must talk to you than Ido to these other at the same time I speak with great plainless. O, father of the weary step, O, mother bent down under the ailments of life, hbs thy God ever forsaken thee? Through all these years, who has been your best friend? Seventy years of mercies! Seventy years of food and clothing! 0 how many bright mornings! How many

glorious evening bours you nave seen; 0 father, mother, God has been very good to you. Do you feel it? Some of you have children and grandchildren; the former cheered your young life, the latter-twine your gray looks in their tiny fingers. Has all the goodness that God has been making pass before you produced no change in yonr feelings, and must it be said of you, notwithstanding all this: “One .thing thou lackest?” —■- ^,Qh,-ifjrb‘u could only feel the hand of Christ smoothing the cares out of wrinkled faces. 0, if you could only feel the warm arm of Christ steadying your tottering steps. I lift my voice loud enough to break through the deafness of the ear while I cry out: “One thing thou lackest.” It was an- importunate appeal a young man made in a prayer-meeting when he rose up and said: “Do pray for my old father. He is seventy years of age and he don’t love Christ.” That father passed a few more steps on in life and then he went down. He never gave any intimation that he had chosen J esus. It is a very hard thing for an old man to become a Christian. I know it is. It is so hard a thing that it can not be done by any human work; but God Almighty can do it by His omnipotent grace; He can bring you at the eleventh hour—at half past eleven—at one minute of twelve He can bring you to the peace and the joys of the glorious Gospel. I must make application of this subject, also, to those who are prospered. Have you, my friends, found that dollars and cents are no permanent consolation to the soul? You have large worldly resources, but have you no treasures in Heaven? Is an embroidered pillow all that you want to put you™ dying head on? Yon have heard people all last week talk about earthly values. Hear a plain man talk about the heavenly. Do you not know it will be worse for you, O prospered man, if you reject Christ, and reject Him finally— that it will be worse for you than those who had it hard in this world, because the contrast will make the discomfiture so much more appalling? As the hart bounds for the water brooks, as the roe speeds down the hillside, speed thou to Christ. “Escape for thy life, look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain lest thou be consumed!” I must make my application to another class of persons—the poor. When you can not pay your rent when it is due, have you nobody but the landlord to talk to? When the flour has gone out of the barrel, and you have not ten cents with which to go to the bakery, and your children are tugging at your dress for something to eat, have you nothing but the world’s charities to appeal to? When the winter comes, and there are nd coals, and the ash-barrels have no more cinders, who takes care of you? Have you nobody' but the overseer of the poor? But I preach to you. of a poor man’s Christ. If you do not have in the winter blankets enough to cover you in the night, I want to tell you of Him who had not where to lay His head. If you lie on the bare floor, I want to tell you of Him who had for a pillow a hard cross, and whose footbath was the streaming blood of His own heart. O you, poor man! O you, poor woman! Jesus understands your case altogether. Talk it right out to Him to-night. Get down on your floor and say: “Lord Jesus Christ, Thou wast poor and I am poor. Help me. Thou art rich now, and bring me up to Thy riches!” Do you think God

would cast you out will Her ion might as well think that a mother would take the child that feeds on her breast and dash its life ftat,as to think that God would-put aside roughly those who have fled to Him for pity and cotproission. Yea, the Prophet says: “A womatr may forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb, but 1 will not forget thee.” If you have ever been on the sea, you have been surprised in the first voyage to find there are so few sails in sight. Sometimes you go along two, three, four, five, six and seven days, and do not see a single sail; but when a vessel does come in sight, the sea glasses are lifted to the eye, the vessel is watched,' and if it comes very near, then the captain, through the trumpet, cries loudly across the water: “Whither bound?” So you and I meet on this sea of life. We come and we go. Some of us have never met before. Some of us will never meet again. But I hail you across the sea, and with reference to the last great day, and with reference to-fhk-two great worlds, I cry acrrite the water: “Whither bound? Whither bound?” I know what service that craft was made fpr, but hast thou thrown overboard the compass? Is there no helm to guide it? Is the ship at the mercy of the tempest? Is there no gun of distress booming through the storm? With priceless treasures—with treasures aboard worth more than ail the Indies —wilt-thou never come up out of the trough of that sea? O, Lord God, lay hold of that man! Son of God, if thou wert ever needed anywhere, thou art needed here. There are so many sins to be pardoned. There are so many wounds to be healed. There are bo many souls to be saved. Help, Jesus! Help, Holy Gho6t! Help, ministering angels from the throne! Help, all sweet memories of the past! Help, all prayers for our future deliverance! 0, that now, in this, the accepted time and the day of salvation, you would hear the voice of mercy and live. Taste and see that the Lord is gracious. In this closing moment of the service, when every thing in the house is so favorable, when every thing is so still, when ’God is so loving, and Heaven is so near, drop your sins, and take Jesus. Do not cheat yourself out of Heaven. Do not do that. God forbid that at the last, when it is too late to correct the mistake, a voice should rise from the pillow, or drop from the throne, uttering just four words—four sad annihilating words: “One thing thou lnclOst,"

FAILS. A shoddy mill id Massachusetts baa JUst closed its doors as the result of the McKinley 'law. It ran In a kind of Bhoddy which is imported entirely; and as the McKinley duly on this particular kind is 80 cents a pound—or equal to 300 per cent—the manufacturer found it impossible to pay this enormous duty. The owner of this particular mill was evidently not one of the shoddy men who, as was reported in the trade journals last Sommer, were clamoring for McKinley bill. ■icturers who use ly; and their of the McKinheir knowledge if woolen clothand the use of be promoted, s extended enoriars.

x no wool usea is reporxea as wool in the grease, and should be reduced at least 60 per cent, to obtain the amount of pure wool consumed. The legal ratio of 16ss is 66.66 per cent. Thus only 118,476,861 pounds Of pure wool were consumed. This shows that the composition of woolen goods made in 1880 was 108 parts of adulterants to 118 parts of pure wool. In 1870 the shoddy mills alone used 16,873,006 pounds of raw shoddy, and in 1880 they used 63,136,936 pounds of raw shoddy on a scoured basis. The making of shoddy was a comparatively unimportant business only a few years ago. Already it is a prosperous and growing industry and regards itself as an entirely respectable member of oUr families of National industries. A recent number of the American Wool Reporter contains the advertisement of twenty-eight shoddy dealers. Early last year the same journal gave a description of the Muhlhauser Shoddy Mills, of Cleveland, O., “the most extensive shoddy mills in this country, and probably the largest in the world.” The correspondent of the Reporter said: The production of these mills is very large, and since the new addition has been in operation, 20,000 pounds per day has been turned out, yielding an annual product rf about 5,000 000 pounds. Their last pay roll shows over 480 hands employed; their help are mostly Bohemians. They have 300 sorters to keep the material ready for the machinery. This plant was first established in 1871. It is interesting to note the success which has attended the firm in its business and the steady manner in which it is increasing, the demand for their shoddies growing larger and larger every year. But as the use of shoddy increases the use of wool decreases; and this is why the shoddy men were so well pleased with the McKinley bill and its high industry languishes, while tho shoddy industry prospers. The issue of the Wool Reporter, already quoted, contained an editorial on the woolen industry, in which these words were used: Careful estimates place a*numbcr of idle woolen looms as high as 60 per cent of the whole number. These figures seem excessive at first glance,but careful consideration of the woolen situation will remove all doubt as to their correctness. The present heavy weight season has been meager in results, and some weeks since in tho Wool Reporter’s Review of the New York goods market, it was stated that the business for the present season would be from one-third to one-half of that accomplished in an average season. It is a dreary subject to contemplate. In 1888 there were fifty-six failures in the woolen business with liabilities amounting to $3,600,000. In 1889 the failures were seventy-two, and the liabilities $10,400,000. The figures for 1890 are not yet published; but it is certain that they will show an increase, as there have been many failures since the McKinley law went into operation. wool duties. woolen

tit will wtArf nu auL>^a. A Protection Organ’s Comments Upon Hon. Jerry Simpson's “Free Trade PreJ ndlces.” One of the favorite lines of “argument” adopted by the defenders of the McKinley law in the campaign last fall was to point Out that the free list was larger in it than in any tariff since the war. When the opponents of protection ridiculed this boasted free list by quoting its provisions for free. “acorns,” “assafetida ” “ashes,” “beeswax,” etc., the McKinleyites were wroth and claimed that this was but another attempt by the “British free traders” to mislead the people by disguising from them “the strong points” of the McKinley law. No one expected that after the election was over a leading protection paper would undertake to show what a narrow and unsatisfying thing McKinley’s free list is; but the Manufacturer, the organ of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Club, has just done precisely that service to the country. Hon. Jerry Simpson, the Farmers’ Alliance Congressman-elect from Kan-sas;-^ears no stockings, and a Jersey City manufacturer sent him several pairs, which were sent back with the following letter: Sir: Our hotrfathem refused to drink tea because it was taxed ¥ per cent., and held a tea party in Boston to get rid of the stuff I have ]ust finished figuring up the tax upon those stockings ahqtf find that It amounts to TOper cent. I wtll w\ar no socks till the tax is taken off. * The manufacturer proceeds to comment upon this letter to show the diffienlties which' the' Congressman-elect will encounter if he( seeks to he consistent and will use ho tariff-taxed articles; and it must be confessed that the high protection organ does this in a way which would make .the uninformed reader suppose that the following extract was taken from a “free trade” journal: As there is a heavy duty upon soap, no doubt the Kansas statesman finds a pretext toy positively declining to use that article. In such matters, however, It is likely that he finds his natural inclinations fitting in nicely with his free trade prejudices. But, if he is Indeed going to try to live up to hi* principles it is difficult to perceive how he Is going to live at all. Nearly every article of clothing and the great mass of artioles of food are subject to duties; and, therefore, his theory ought to confine hlmrigidlyto use of materials that are upon the free list. The attempt of the Honorable Jerry to live within tbe boundaries of the free list would excite universal Interest and curiosity. He would, of course, elothe himself with “hides, raw or, uncured," with “asbestos” trimmings, perhaps, and his diet would range from “acorns,” “aconite” and “assafetida” to “oil-cake,” “caoutchouc,” “verdigris” and “yams." The Kansas Congressman is going to be a particularly entertaining object of consideration If he shall try to be consistent. The Manufacturer should be congratulated for showing np the limited character of the McKinley free list. If the “Hon. Jerry” will follow its suggestion that it should be consistent and will dress himself np in “hides, raw or uncured,” with “asbestos” trimmings, he will become, in this John the Baptist garb, a preacher of “free trade” such as this country has never seen. The Kansas Congressman-elect, thus rigged out in the precarious habiliments of McKinley’s free list, would not need to utter one word against our high tariff laws; his very appearance would have all the eloquence of a“roiMof ep* cry inf is the wiMentMS,"

5AHSAPAKI Ll-A. Isn’t one Sarsaparilla as good as another? No 1 Noll Noll! Don’t think it. Don’t for a moment think it. If you want Bull’s Sarsaparilla, demand it and take no other. It contains ingredients that are not found in any other sarsaparilla. These very ingredients that make it different from other sarsaparillas are the most important. In fact, essential to its curative virtue. Omit them and Bull’s Sarsaparilla would be as inert as the many inferior preparations of sarsaparilla found in many drug stores. Bull’s Sarsaparilla contains no unimportant ingredient Each ingredient used is chosen for its beneficent effect upon the human system. Combined, they exert a harmonizing influence upon every function of the body, improving digestion, strengthening the liver and kidneys, cleansing the blood of poisonous matter, soothing the nervous system, enlivening the mental faculties, and in a word, by infusing new strength and life, completely rejuvenates evory part and makes one feel altogether like u new person. Elmer Hod son, Alvaretto, Tex., writes: “My strength and health had been failing me for several years. My blood was in a very impoverished condition and very impure. My limbs felt lame, rickety and rheumatic, and I could not walk without tottering. I felt myself growing prematurely old, and my face began to look pinched and shrivelled. I suffered considerable, was restless at night, very nervous, and growing very melancholy. My eyes were sore and I had catarrh. I tried many tonics, and bitters and blood purifiers, but failed to get better. I finally bought six bottles of Bull's Sarsaparilla, and before I had used it all I felt like another man. My strength and health improved, pimples and sores disappeared from my person, aches and stiff joints left me, and I consider myself a well person.” MisroKTUKE we have always with us.

No one doubts that Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy really cures Catarrh, whether the disease be recent or of long standing, because the makers of it clinch their faith in it with a $500 guarantee, which isn’t a mere newspaper guarantee, but “ on call in a moment. That moment is when you prove that its makers can’t cure you. The reason for their faith is this: Dr. Sage’s remedy has >roved itself the right cure or ninety-nine out of one lundred cases of Catarrh in the Head, and the World’s Dispensary Medical Association can afford to take the risk of your being the one hundredth. The only question is—are you willing to make the test, if the makers are willing to take the risk ? , If so, the rest is easy. You pay your druggist 50 cents and the trial begins. If you’re wanting the $500 you’ll get something better-*-a cure/
