The following discourse was selected by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage for perusal by his great American congregation this week. The text Is: And sn highway shall be there, and a way, and It shall be called the way of holiness: the nnelean shall not pass over it: bat it shall be (or those; the wayfsring men, though (bole, shall not err tberln. No Mon shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go np thereon; it shall not bo found there; and the ransomed of the Lord shall retorn, and come to Zt->n with songs and everlasting Joy upon their heads: they shall obtain Joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.—Isaiah xxsv.. 8-10. There are thousands of people here this morning who want to find the right road. You sometimes see a person baiting at cross-roads, and you can tell by his looks that he wishes to ask a question as to what direction he had better take. And I stand in yonr presence this'morning conscious of the fact that there are many of you here who realize that there are a thousand wrong roads, but only one right one; and I take it for granted that you have come In to ask which one it is. Here is one road that opens widely, but I have not much faith in it There are a great many expensive toll-gates scattered all along that way. Indeed, at every rod you must pay in tears, or pay in flagellations. On that road, if you get through it all, you have to pay your own way; and since this differs so much from what I have heard in regard to the right way, I believe it is the wrong way. v Here is another road. On either side of It are houses of sinful entertainment and invitations to come in and dine and rest; but from the looks of the people who stand on the piazza I am very certain that it is the wrong house and the wrong way. Here is another road. It is very beautiful and macadamized. The horses’ hoofs clatter and ring, and they who ride ovor it spin along the highway, until suddenly they find that the road breaks over an embankment, and they try to halt, and they saw the bit in the mouth of the steed, and cry, “Ho! ho!” But it is too Tate, and—crash!—they go ovor the embankment. We shall turn this morning and see if we can not find a different kind of a road. You have heard of the Appian Way. It was three hundred and fifty miles long. It was twenty-four feet wide, and on either side of the road was a path for foot passengers. It was made out of rocks 'cat in hexagonal shape and fitted together. What a road it must have been! Made of smooth, hard rock, three hundred and fifty miles long. No wonder that in the construction of it the treasures of a whole empire were exhausted. Because of invaders, and the elements, and time— the old conqueror who tears up a road as he goes over it—there is nothing left of that structure excepting a ruin. But I have this morning to tell you of a road built before the Appian Way, and yet it is as good as when first constructed. Millions of souls have gone over it. Millions more will come.

.1 oe prnpaois sou apnsifoe, too. Pursued this road white hart bslow: Wo, therefore, will, without dlsmtr. Still walk in Christ, the good old way. "An highway shall be there, an<tftway, and It shall be called _J&6"way of holiness; the iimOeim^fCln not pass “over it; but it snail be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon; it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there; and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasti -ing joy npon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away!” First, this road of the text is the King’s highway. In the diligence you dash over the Bernard pass of the Alps, mile after mile, and there is not so much as a pebble to jar the wheels. You go over bridges which cross chasms that make you hold your breath, under projecting rook, along by dangerous precipices, through tunnels adrip with the meltings of the glaciers, and perhaps for tho first time learn the majesty of a road built and supported by government authority. Well, my Lord the King decided to build a highway from earth to Ileaven. It should span all the chasms of human wretchedness: it should tunnel all the mountains of earthly difficulty; ' it should be wide enough and strong enough to hold fifty thousand millions of the human race, if so many of them should ever be born. It should be blasted out of the “Rock of Alfes” and cemented with the blood of the cross, and be lifted amid the shouting of angels and the execration of devils. The King sent His Son to build that road. He put head and hand and heart to it, and, after the road was completed, waved His blistered hand over the way, citing: “It is finished!” Napoleon paid fifteen million francs for the building of the Simplon road that his cannon might go over for the devastation of Italy; but onr King, at a greater expense, has built a road for a different purpose, that the banners of heavenly dominion might come, down over it and all redeemed of earth travel up over it. Being a King's highway, of course it is well built. Bridges splendidly arched and buttressed have given way and crushed the passengers who attempted to cross them. But Chirst, the King, would build no such thing as that. The work done, He mounts the chariot of His love, and multitudes mount with Him, and He'drives on and up the steep of Heaven amid the plaudits of gazing worlds! The work is done—well done— gloriously done—magnificently done! Still further: this road spoken of is a clean road. Many a fine road has become miry and foul because it has not been properly cared for; but my text says the unclean shall not walk on this one. Room on either side to throw away your sins. Indeed, if yon want to cany them along you are not on the right road. That bridge will break, those overhanging rocks will fall, the night will come down, leaving yon at the mercy of the mountain bandits, and at the very next turn of the road you will perish. But if you are really on this clean road of which I have been speaking, then you stop ever and anon to wash in the water that stands in the basin of the eternal rock. Ay, at almost every step of the Journey yon will be crying out: ••Create within me a clean heart!” If you have no such aspirations as that, it yon have mistaken your L if yon will only look up and fingef-board above your head T md upon it the words: to a way that seemeth right the end thereof is holiness no man shall and if yon have any idea your tins, your and yet get to

in an observatory and swept the heavens with his telescope, and yet ho has not been able to see the morning star. Many a man has been familiar with all the higher branches of mathematics, and yet could not do the simple sum: “What shall it profits man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” Many a man has been a fine reader of tragedies and poems, and y et could not “read his title clear to mansions in the skies.” Many a man has botanized across the continent, and y et did not know the “Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.” But if one shall come in the right spirit, asking the way to Heaven, he will find it a plain way. The pardon is plain. The peace is plain. Everything is plain. He who tries to get on the road to Heaven through the New Testament teaching Will get on beautifully. He w ho goes through philosophical discussion will not get on at alL Christ says: “Come to me, and I will take all your sins away, and I will take all troubles away.” Now what is the use of my discussing it any more? Is not that plain? If you wanted to go to London, and -I pointed you out a highway thoroughly laid out, would I be wise in detaining you by a geological discussion about the gravel you will pass over, or a physiological discussion about the muscles you will have to bring into play? No. After this Bible has pointed you the way to Heaven, is it wise for.me to detain you with any discussion about the nature of the human will, or whether the atonement is limited or unlimited? There iB the road—go on it. It is a plain way. “This is afaithfnl saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesns came into the world to save sinners.’” And that is you and that is me. Any little child here can understand this as well as I can. “Unless yon become as a little child, you can not see the kingdom of God.” If you are saved it will not be as a philosopher, it will be as a little child. “Of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” Unless you get the spirit of little children you will never come out, at their glorious destiny. Still further, this road to Heaven is a safe road". Sometimes the traveler In those ancient highways would think himself perfectly secure, not knowing there was a lion by the way, burying his head deep between his paws, and then, when the right moment came, under the fearful spring, the man’s life was gone, and there was a mangled carcass by the roadside. But, says ifiy test, “no lion shall ho there.” I wish I could make you feel this morning your entire security. I tell you plainly that one minute after a man has become a child of God he is a3 safe as though

he had been ten thousand years in Heaven, ne may slip, he may slide, he may stumble, but he can not be destroyed. Kept by the power of God, through faith, unto complete salvation. Everlastingly safe. The serverest trial'"to which you can subject a Christian man is to kill him. and that-is glory. In other words, the -warsC'thing that can happen a child of God is Heaven. The body is only the old slippers that he throws aside just before putting on the sandals of light. His soul, you can not hurt it No fires can consume it No floods can drown it No devils can capture it Firm and unmoved are they Wb<> rest their souls on God. Fixed in the ground where David stood. Or where the ark abode. UIb soul is safe. His reputation is safe. Everything is safe. “But,” you say, f suppose his store burns up?” Why, then, it will only be a change of investments from earthly to heavenly securities. “But,” you say, “suppose his name goes down under the hoof of scorn and contempt? The name will be so much brighter in glory. “Suppose his physical health fails?” God will pour into him the floods of everlasting health, and it will not make any difference. Earthly subtraction is heavenly addition. The tears of earth are crystals of Heaven. As they take rags and tatters and put them through the paper mill, and they come out beautiful white sheets of paper, so, often, the rags of earthly destitution, under the cylinders of death, come out a white Bcroll upon which shall be written eternal emancipation. There was one passage of Scripture, the force of which I never understood until one day at Chamounix, with Mont Blanc on one side and Montanvent on thp/other, I opened my Bible and said: “As the mountains ape around about Jerusalem, so the Lord is around about them'that fear Him.” The surroundings were an omnipotent commentary: Though troubles assail, and dangers affright; Though friends should all fall and foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, whatever bstide. The Scriptures assure us the lord will provide. Still further: the road spoken of is a pleasant road.' God gives a bond of indemnity against all evil to every man who treads it. "All things work together for good to those who love God.” No weapon formed against them can prosper. That is the bond, signed, sealed and delivered by the President of the universe. What is the use of your fretting, oh, child of God, about food? “Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them.” And will H e take care of the sparrow, will He take care of the hawk, and let you die? What is the use of your fretting about clothes! “Consider the lilies of the field. Shall He not much more clothe yon, oh ye of little faith?” What is the use of worrying for fear something will happen to your home? “He blesseth the habitation of the just.” What is the use of fretting lest you will be overcome of temptations? “God is faithfnl, who will not suffer you to he tempted above that y to are able; Irat will with the temptation also make a why to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” O, tills King’s highway! Trees of life on eltlter side, bending over until their branches interlock and drop midway their fruit and shade. Houses of entertainment on either side the road for poor pilgrims. Table Bpread with a feast of good things, and walls adorned with apples of gold in pictures of silver. t start out on this King's highway, and find a harper, and I say: “What is your name?” The harper makes no response, but leaves me to guess, as, with his eyes toward Heaven, and his hand upon the trembling strings, this tuns comes rippling on the air: “Ths Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” - little further on the ■ of Heaven, and I " for and

„. -- .Jjjg ■ of Israel: “Have you _ for a tired pilgrim?” And like the clan? of victors’ shields the cymbals clap, as Miriam begins to discourse: "Sin? ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and the rider hath He thrown Into the sea.” And then I see a whiterobed group. They come bounding toward me, and I say: "Who are they— the happiest and the brightest and the fairest in all Heaven—who are they?” And the answer comes: "These are they who came out of great tribulations and had their robes washed and made white with the blood of the Lamb.” I pursue this subject only one step further. What is the terminus? I do not care how fine, a road you may put me on. I want to know where it comes out. My text declares it: “The redeemed of the' Lord come. to Zion.”* You know what' Zion was. That was the Kings palace. It was a mountain fastness. It was impregnable. And so Heaven is the fastness of the universe. No howitzer has long enough range to shell those towers. Let all the batteries of earth and hell blaze away: they can not break in those gates. Gibraltar was '-aken; Sebastopol was taken; Babylon fell; but those wails of neaven shall never surrender either to human or Satanic besiege men t. The Lord God Almighty is the defense of it. Great capital of the universe! Terminus of the King’s highway! Dr. Dick said that, among other things, he thought in Heaven we should study chemistry, and geometry, and conic sections. Southey thought that in Heaven he would have the pleasure of seeing Chaucer and Shakspeare. Now, Dr. Dick may have his mathematics for all eternity, and Southey his Shakspeare. Give, me Christ and my old friends — that is all the Heaven I want; that is Heaven enough for me. 0 garden of light, whose leaves never wither, and whose fruits never fail! G banquet of God, whose sweetness never palls the taste, and whose guests are kings forever! O city of light, whose walls are salvation, and whose gates are praise! 0 palace of rest, where God is the Monarch and everlasting ages the length of His reign! 0 song louder than the surfbeat of many waters, yet soft as the whisper of cherubim! When my last wound is healed, when the last heart-break is ended, when the last tear of earthly sorrow is wiped away, and when the redeemed of the Lord shall come to Zion, then let all the harpers take down their harps and all of the trumpeters take down their trumpets and all across Heaven there be chorus of morning stars, chorus of white-robed victors, chorus of martyrs from under the throne, chorus of ages, chorus of Worlds, and there be but one song sung, and but one name spoken, and but one throne honored—that of Jesus only._ CkUMtwtollei of Christianity. A chief characteristic of Christianity is its'inwardness. It makes little of the act, much of the motive. All other faiths, like the complacent Phariseeism which Jesus denounced, make everything of the act, nothing of the motive. What was the defect in Phariseeism? This: Its righteousness was outward and not inward, mechanic^) rather than spiritual; like artificial dpples tied with pretty bows of ribbon to a dead apple tree. Christ said: Do—that is essential Be, be, In order to do. ’Tis this which makes Christianity so difficult and so offensive to the Pharisaic school in all sects—for Phariseeism is rather a state of mind than a philosophy. Men will gladly exchange posture for imposture. They will give prayers for toe privilege of sinning and pence for pardon. But a clean heart, an upright Soul, an honest purpose, purity of intention—who is sufficient for these things? A philosophical exterior may cover, has often concealed, the adultery of the eye and the murder of the heart. But the all-seeing God demands spiritual righteousness. And just because this is so difficult we ought to lift the prayer of the disciples: "Lord, increase our faith.” God can help us do what we are not equal to unaided; and if we ask Him and trust Him. He will—St Louis Republic.

A Model Convert. Dp. Arthur Pierson thinks Zacchnus (Luke, xix.) a fine illustration of a model convert On the day upon which salvation came to his house he performed two signal acts. First an act of justice, restoring fourfold in every case in which he had wrongfully possessed himself of property—for he was a farmer of the public taxes, a position which offered endless opportunities for self-enrichment to an avaricious man. Secondly, an act of generosity by which he gave out and out half of his whole fortune to the poor. No one can say how much of the remaining half his regenerated nature led him to expend in benificence. What would the church not give today for a few converts like Zacdhseus, who would begin the Christian life by restoring everything that had been wrongfully appropriated, and restoring fourfold; and who, in addition to this, would give absolutely to purposes of benevolence one-half of all their goods! The Salvation Armv. After 27 years’ service at the head of the Salvation Army Gen. Booth finds that he controls 11,118 officers, S3 weekly papers, 0 monthly magasines, with an annual circulation of 47,800,000, 88 garrisons, 25 homes of rest for disabled officers, 43 rescue homes and 72 alum corps. At a great anniversary meeting in London the other day he challenged his critics to appoint an impartial committee to decide whether (1) he had derived any personal benefit from the pecuniary resources committed to hi* charge; (2) whether his accounts have been kept in a fair and business-like manner; (3) whether the moneys he has received have been expended on the lines laid down in “Darkest England,” [ and with a reasonable prospect of success. Such a committee ought to be appointed, in justice to all concerned. —There is truth in a recent remark made by Mrs. Frances E. Willard to the effect that while it is often said that the old Jews lived under a theocracy, in fact no nation ever lived under anything except either a theocracy or a devilocracy.__ —The dominion of a sinful habit will fearfully estrange us from God’s presence. A single consenting act of disobedience is enough to let fall a cloud between Him and us and to leave our hearts cheerless and dark.—Cardinal Manning. ^ ~ - -A hearer, on leaving church on bunday, where he could neither understand nor appreciate the performances of the choir, said the prophecy In Amos vlii.,8, had just been fulfilled: “And the songt of the temple shall be howlings." churches are like Durham cathedral during the middle ages-part

is no industry of much that shows the stimulating of McKinleyism more than the manufacture of pocket cutlery, and there is no industry to Which the pro tectionists can and do point with mor* -pride. The act of 1890 increased the duty from 60 per cent to from 70 td over 100 per cent It is now the claim of protectionists—and it is being heralded far and wide—that this industry, which was dying under a 60 per cent stimulus, has been so built np by McKinley that wages hare been advanced 10 per cent in three of the twentj-four factories of this country. Prices of knives have also been advanced, but this a secondary matter with pro tee. tlonists, the essential idea being to start new industries here, or to assist old ones by cutting off foreign competition. If i j ever pays onr government to propagate artificially any industry this is probably such an industry, and yet let, us analyze a little the cost to the nation of such an investment and see who are benefited by it. The pocket cutlery, like many other Industries, was established in this country daring the “free trade” period from 1840 to 1880. At that, time more than half of the employes were Americans. Since it became highly protected and began to rely upon governmental aid, rather than meritorious good^ for success, the industry has been unsteady, and aince about 1870 has had the blues, just as a man who is in the habit of taking stimulants to keep np his spirits will have when he is unable to obtain the ever larger doses which his unnatural appetite craves Wage* have been reduced often in this industry, and only four or five years ago reductions of about 20 per cent were made in most of the shops. Partly because they were driven ont by the English and German workmen who were imported to keep wages down, the skilled American workmen have left this business, until today ont of 1,400 or 1,500 workers in the twenty-four establishments (most small ones) which make pocket cutlery, about 1,100 are English, 900 are German and 100 or 150 are Americans—the latter being mostly [ boys and girls not. doing skilled work and earning only from fifty cents to | a dollar per day. The Americans have | but little prospects of bettering their ! condition, for the foreigners now have I a monopoly of this industry, by means I of their unions—Spring Knife Makers* ! union, subdivided into forgers, and grinders and finishers unions. Their rules practically prohibit any but English and German from entering any except the unskilled departments. The i foreigners are mostly from the Sheffield district in England and are undesirable | as immigrants—most of them, it is said, can neither read nor write. As to the manufacturers they are also largely English, who advocate plenty of protection and who have 1 shewn themselves willing to pay for it. In conjunction with the table cutlery manufacturers, Ahey kept two men at Washington of the time for three or four years previous to the passage of the McKinley tariff act Their share of this expense was 87,000. They now keep a man at the custom honse to prevent undervaluations and fraud. Having secured all they expected at Washington they immediately set to work to get back the money which they had invested there. Their association held weekly meetings to arrange prices and made their first general advance in October, almost before the McKinley act had taken effect They had paid for their share of this tariff act and saw no reason for denying their proprietorship in it Hence some of them boldly announced that because of the McKinley hill they had advanced prices from 10 to 15 per Cent In January, 1891, a second general advance was made. This caused such a howl from dealers and the public that the manufacturers ceased to send ont circulars advancing prices all along the line at once, and instead have held monthly meetings and made advances by private price lists to individual dealers. These lists appear regularly, the last being oc August 6, 1899. One month they will inform a dealer-that “they are compelled to rhake the following changes in prices. ” The “changes” usually amount to from 10 to 19 per cent advance on about a dozen styles. The next month a dozen other styles will receive the same treatment T<arge dealers say that the advance since September, 1890, amounts to fully 80 per cent on the total of all knives sold.

According to tne testimony given m 1890, before the ways and means committee, the combined investment of these four companies was only #400,000. The manufacturers then put on long faces and tried to make the committee believe that the pocket cutlery industry was about to expire under a 50 per cent duty. It now appears that they were making “largely in excess” of 16 per cent upon their actual capital (#400,000) and that they are now in shape to make 46 per cent on this same amount They add in their prospectus that “prices upon cutlery have never yet reached those which could have been asked by the increased rate of tariff.” That their claims are not extravagant is .evident from the announcement in the House Furnishing Goods Weekly of August 4, 1899, that "the Southington Cutlery Co, of Southington, Conn., has declared a quarterly dividend of 8 per cent” It is dear that the increased duty was obtained under false pro tenses, if not by actual fraud. And these are the class of men who reap the benefits of McKlnleyism. Notice, now, how these spoils are divided between the manufacturers and their employes. The republican press points with pride to three companies— the Canastota Knife Co., the New York Knife Co. and the Thom as ton Knife Co., employing altogether about 4fi0 hands —that have advanced wages about 10 per cent It is true that since 1890 about three-fourths of the employes in these factories have obtained advances that will average between 7 and 10 per cent These advances have been secured only because the employes were organized and struck, or threatened to strike, for higher wages. Strikes are now on in three other factories But suppose that all of these 400 employes have bad their wages advanced' 10 per cent, and that they earn an average of #600 each a year, (the actual average Is much less), their total benefit from | the new tariff (admitting that it made the advance possible) would thus be | less than #24,000. The yearly product of all the factories is worth from #1,500,000 to *2,000,000. The 80 per cent advance in prices, then, increases the profits of the manufacturers about #500,000. That is, the manufacturers have retained 98 per cent of the spoils and grudgingly yielded up 8 per cent to the wage-earners. The American user of pocket knives has taken *500,000 out of one pocket and made it a present to these foreigner* for the privilege of carrying an "American knife” in another pocket And this In addition to a similar amount bestowed upon, the same foreigner under the 50 per cent duty prior to 1890.
