SHAPES EEOM CANAAN. -Rev. Dr. Talmage Presents the Heavenly EschoL -A Cluster of Hopes, a Cluster of Prospects. and a Cluster of Christian Consolations Straight from the Land of Promise.

The following discourse was delivered By Eev. T. DeVVitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle on a recent Sabbath. from the text: And they came unto the brook of Esehol. and «ut down from thence a branch with one clusterof trapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff.— Numbers xiti:23. The long trudge of the Israelites across the wilderness was almost ended. They had come to the borders of the promised land. Of the six hundred thousand adults who started from Egypt from Canaan how many do you suppose got there? Five hundred thousand? Oh, no. Not two hundred thousand, not one hundred thousand, nor fifty, nor twenty, nor ten, but only two men. Oh, it was a ruinous march that God’s people made; f but their , children were living, and they were on the march, and now that they had come up to the borders of the promised land they were • curious to know what kind of a place •It was, and whether it would be safe to go over. So a scouting party is sent -out to reconnoiter, and they examine the land, and they come back bringing - specimens of its growths jjust as you came back from California, bringing to your family a basket of pears, or plums, or apples, to show what monstrous fruit they have there, so this scouting ■ party cut off the biggest bunch of grapes they could find. It was so large that one man could not carry it, and they thrust a pole through the clus- • ter, and there was one man at - either end of the pole, and so the bunch of grapes was transported. I ■ was, some time ago, in a luxuriant vineyard. The vine-dresser had done his work. The vine had clambered up and spread its wealth all over the arbor. The sun and shower had mixed a cup which the vine drank until with 'flushed cheek it lay slumbering in the light, cluster against the cheek of cluster. The rinds of the grapes seemed almost bursting with the juice in the warm lips of the autumnal day, and it seemed as if all you had to do was to) lift a chalice toward the cluster and ns life blood would begin to drip away. But, my friends, in these rigorous climes we know nothing about targe grapes. Strabo states that in Bible times and in Bible lands there were grape vines so large that it took ' two men with outstretched arms to > reach around them, and he says there were clusters two cubits in length, or twice the length from the elbow to the tip of the long finger. And Achaicus, dwelling in those lands, tells us that during the time he was smitten with fever one grape would slake his thirst for the whole day. No wonder, then, in these Bible times two men thought 'it worth their while to" put their strength together to carry down one cluster of grapes from the promised land. But this morning I bring you a larger cluster from the heavenly Esehol—a cluster of hopes, a cluster of prospects.

a cluster ol unristian consolations; ana I am expecting that one taste of it will ■ rouse up your appetite for the heavenly -Canaan. During the.past winter some .of the ■ congregation have gone away never to return. The aged have put down their staff and taken up the scepter. Men in mid-life came home from office or shop, and did not go back again, and never will go back again. And the dear children, some of them, have been gathered in Christ's arms. He found this world too- rough a place for them, and so He has gathered them in. And oh, how many wounded souls there are—wounds for which this world offers no medicant, and unless from the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ there shall come a consolation, there will be no consolation at all. Oh, that the God of comfort would help me while I preach, and that the God of all comfort would help you while you hear. First, I console you with the divinely sanctioned idea that your departed ^ friends are as much yours now as they ever were. I know you sometimes get the idea in your mind, when you have this kind of trouble, that your friends are cut off from you, and they are no longer yours; but the desire to have all • - our loved ones in the same lot in the ■cemetery is a natural desire, a universal desire, and therefore a God-im-planted desire, and is mightily suggestive of the fact that death has no power to break up the family relations. If our loved ones go away from our -possession, why put a fence around our 'lot in the cemetery? Why the gathering of four or five names on one family ! monument? Why the planting df one - cypress vine so that it covers all the ■ cluster of graves? Why put the husband beside the wife, and the »children at their feet? Why tfcbe bolt on the gate of our lot, and the charge to the keepers of the ground to see that the grass is cut, »nd the vine attended to, and the flowers planted? Why not put our departed friends in one cpmmon field or •grave? Oh, it is because it is ours. That child, 0! stricken mother, is as much yours this morning as in the solemn hour when God put it against your heart, and said as of old: “Take this child and nurse it for me, and I .will give thee thy wages,” It is.no xmere whim. It is a divinely-planted ^principle in the soul, and God certainly - would not plant a lie, and He. would not culture a lie. Abraham would not allow Sarah to be buried in a stran:ger's grounds, although some beautiful ground was offered him a ■free gift; but he pays four hundred shekels for Machpelah, the cave, and the trees overshadowing it The grave has been well kept, and to-day the Christian traveler stands in thoughtful and admiring mood, gazing upon Machpelah, where Abraham and Sarah are taking 4heir long sleep of four thousand yearn

Your father may be sleeping under the tinkling bell erf the Scotch kirk. Your brother may have gone down in the ship that foundered off Cape Hatteras. Your little child may be sleeping on the verge of the flowering western prairie; yet God will gather them all up. however widely the dust may be scattered. Nevertheless, it is pleasant to think that we will be buried together. When my father died, and we took him oat and put him down in the graveyard at Somerville, it did not seem so sad to leave him there, because right beside hiin was my dear, good, old, beautiful, Christian mother, and it seemed as if she said: “I was tired, and 1 came to bed a little early. I am glad you have come; it seems as of old.” Oh, it is “ a consolation to ' feel that when men e<Bne, and with solemn tread carry you out to your resting place, they will open the gate through which some of your friends have already gone, and through which many of your friends will follow. Sleeping under the same roof, at last sleeping under the same sod. The autumnal leaves that drift across your grave will drift across theirs; the bird-songs that drop on their mound will drop on yours; and then, in starless- winter nights, when the wind comes howling through the gorge, you will be company i for each other. The child close up to | the bosom of its mother. The hus-1 band and wife re-married; on their lips ! the sacrament of the dust. Brothers ; and sisters, who used in sport to fling themselves on the grass, now again reclining side by side in the grave, in flecks of sunlight sifting through the long, lithe willows. Then at the trumpet of the archangel to rise side by side, shaking themselves from the dust of ages. The faces that were ghastly and fixed when you saw them last all aflush with the light of inoorruption. The father looking around on his children, and saying: ‘'Come, come, my darlings, this is the morning of the resurrection.” Mrs. Sigourney wrote beautifully with the tears and blood of her own broken heart: There was a shaded chamber, A silent, watching hand. On a low conch a suffering child Grasping her mother's hnnd. But mid the gasp and struggle. With shuddering lips she cried, “Mother, oh. dearest mother. Bury me by your side.'1 Only one wish she uttered. As life was ebbing fast. “Sleep by my side, dear mother, And rise with me at last."

Oh, yes, we want to be buried together. Sweet antetype of everlasting residence in each other's companionship. When the wrecker went down into the cabin of the lost steamer he found the mother and child in each other’s arms, ft was sad, but it was beautiful, and it was appropriate. Together they went down. Together they will rise. One on earth One in Heaven. Is there not something cheering in all this thought, and somethin; to impress upon us the idea that the departed are ours yet—ours forever O, there is consolation in it! Yon are in present communication with that land. They are in sympathy with you now more than they ever were, and they are waiting for the moment when the hammer-stroke shall shatter the last'chain of your earthly bondage and soul shall spring upward'; and they will stand on the heights of Heaven and see you come, and when you are within hailing distance your other friends will be called out, and, as you flash through the pearl-hung gate, their shout will make the hills tremble: “Hail! ransomed spirit, to the city of the blessed.” I console you still further with the idea of a resurrection. I know there are a great many people who do not accept tins because they can not understand it, but, my friends, there are two stout passages-—I could bring a hundred, but two swarthy passages, are enough—and one David will strike down ,the largest Goliath. “Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves shall come forth.” The other swarthy passage is this: “The Lord shall descend from Heaven with a. shout, and the voice of the archangel and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” Oh, there will be such a thing as a resurrection. You ask me a great many questions I can nbt answer about this resurrection. You shy, for instance: “If a man's body is constantly changing, and every seventh year he has an entirely new body, and he lives to seventy years of age.and so has had ten different bodies, and at the hour of his death there is

not a particle oi nesft on mm that was there in the days of his childhood in the resurrection, which of the ten bodies will come up, or will they all rise?” You say: “Suppose a man dies and his body, is scattered in the dust, and out of that dust vegetables grow, and men eat the vegetables and cannibals slay these men and eat them, and cannibals fight with cannibals until at last there shall be a hundred men who shall have within some particles that started from the dead body first named, coming up through the vegetable, through the first man who ate it, and through the cannibals who afterward ate him, and there be more than a hunS^men who have rights in the partiof that body—in the resurrection how can they be assorted when those particles belong to them all? You say: “There is a missionary buried in Greenwood, and when he was in China he had his arm amputated—in the resurrection, will that fragment of the body fly sixteen thousand miles to join the rest of the body? You say: “'Will it not be a very difficult thing for a spirit coming back in that day to find the myriad particles of its own body, where they may have been scattered, by the winds or overlaid by whole generations ef the dead— looking for the myriad particles of it6 own body, while there are a thousand million other spirits doing the same thing, and all the assortment to be made within one day?*’ You say: I “If one hundred and fifty men go intoa I plaee of evening entertainment, and

leave their hats and overcoats in the hall, when they come back it is almost impossible for them to get the right ones, or to get them without a great deal of perplexity. And yet you tell me that myriads of spirits in the last day will come and find myriads of bodies.” Have you any more questions to ask? any more difficulties to suggest? any more mysteries? Bring them on. Against a whole regiment of skepticism I will march these two champions: “Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves shall come forth.” “The Lord shall descend from Heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” You see I stick to these two passages. M ho art thou, oh, fool, that thou repliest against God? Hath He promised, and shall He not do it? Hath He commanded, and shall He not bring it to pass? Have you not confidence in His omnipotence? If He could, in the first place, build my body, after it is torn down, can He not build it again? “Oh,” you say; “I would believe that if you would explain it. I am not disposed to be skeptical, but explain how it can be done.” My brother, you believe a great many things you can not explain. You believe your mind acts on j’our body. Explain the process. Thisseedplanted comesupa blue flower. Another seed planted comes up a yel’.ew flower. Another seed planted comes up a white flower? Why? Why that wart on your finger? Tell me why some cows have horns and other cows have no horns? Why, when two obstacles strike each other in the air, do you

hear the percussion? Yi hat is the subtle energy that dissolves a solid in a crucible? AYhat makes the notches in an oak leaf different from any other kind of leaf? What makes the orange blossom different from that of the rose? How can the almightiness which rides on the circle of the Heaven find room to turn its chariot on a heliotrope? Explain these. Can you do it? Then I will not explain the resurrection. You explain one:half of the common mysteries of everyday life, and I will explain all the mysteries of the resurrection. You can not answer me very plain questions in regard to ordinary affairs. I am not ashamed to say that I can not explain God, and the judp'ment, and the resurrection. I simply accept them as facts, tremendous and infinite. Before the resurrection takes place, everything will be silent. The mausoleums and the labyrinths silent. The graveyards silent, the cemetery silent, save from the clashing of hoofs and the grinding of wheels as the last funeral procession comes in. No breath of air disturbing the dust where Persepolis stood, and Thebes and Baby lon. No winking of the eyelids long closed in darkness. No stirring of the feet that once bounded the hillside. opening of the hand that once plucked the flower out of the edge of the wild wood. No clutching of swords by the men who went down when Persia battled and Rome feU. Silence from ocean beach to mountain cliff, and from river to river. The sea singing the same old tune. The lakes hushed to sleep in the bosom of the same great hills. No hand disturbing the gate of the long-barred sepulchre. AH the nations of the dead motionless in their winding sheets. Up the side of the hills, down through the trough of the valleys, far out in the caverns, across the fields, deep down into the coral palaces of the ocean depths where leviathan sports with his fellows— everywhere, layer above layer, height above height, depth below depth— dead! dead! dead' But in the twinkling of an eye. as quick as that, as the archangel's trumpet comes pealing, rolling, reverberating, crashing across continents and seas, the earth will give one fearful shudder and the door of the family vault, without being unlocked, will burst open; and all the graves of the dead will begin to throb and heave like the waves of the sea; and jfhe mausoleum of princes will fall into the dust; and Ostend and Sebastopol, and AusterBtz and Gettysburg, stalk forth in the lurid air; and the shipwrecked rise from the deep, their wet locks looming above the billow; and all the land and all the sea become one moving mass of life—all generations, all ages with upturned countenances—some kindled \vith rapture and others blanched with despair, but gazing in one direction, upon one object, and that the throne^of resurrection! While I present these thoughts this morning, does it not seem that Heaven comes very near to us, as though, our friends, whom we thought a great way off, are not in the distance, but close by? You have sometimes come down to a river atnightfall,and you have been surprised how easily you could hear voices across that river. You shouted over to the other side of the liver, and they shouted back. It is said that when George Whitefield preached in

Third street, Thiiatteipma, one evening time, his voice was heard clear across to the New Jersey shore. When I was a little while chaplain in the army, I remember how at eventide we could easily hear the voices of the pickets across the Potomac just when they were using ordinary tones. And as we come to-day and stand by the River of Jordan that divides us from our friends, who are gone, it seems to me we stand on one bank and they on the other, and it is only a narrow stream, and our voices go and their voices come. Hark! Hush! I hear distinctly what they say: “These are they who came out of great tribulation, and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” Still the voice comes across the river, and I hear: “We hunger no more, we thirst no more; neither shall the sun light -,on us, nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne Jeads us to living fountains of water, and God wipeth away all tears from our eyes.” —Inconsistency among Christians hinders the progress of the GospaW

DEMOCRATIC POLICIES. A Party That Stands for the Best Interests of the People. The early summer diversion of the Washington correspondents of framing “policies” for the administration in advance of the meeting of congress, can be reduced to a scientific and much more satisfactory basis by giving heed to the simple canons of democratic belief which the guessors are inclined to ignore altogether. Democracy is not the party of opportunism, and when it is in control of affairs it is possible to anticipate within general lines its probable action by a refei-ence to its creed. The democratic platform of 180*3 was as clean-cut and positive a statement of the purposes of the party as a political party ever has framed or ever can frame, and the party intends, as far as possible, to carry out those purposes. They cannot all beattained in a> earor in two years, but progress toward those ends will be steady. The general purpose of democracy was formulated many years, ago by Samuel J. Tilden in words which are as pertinent to the present as they were to the occasion which called them forth, and we believe that they give the key to a knowledge of the general aims of the administration in the legislation affecting industry and the medium of exchange, which it will favor. Said Mr. Tilden: ‘•The whole progress of society consists in learning how to .attain, by the independent action or voluntary, association of individuals, those objects which are at first attempted only through the agency of government, and in lessening the sphere of legislation and,enlarging that of the individual reason and conscience. Our American institutions have recognized this idea more completely than it has yet beeii recognized by the institutions of any other people, and the democratic party has generally been the faithful guardian of its progressive development In most of the great practical questions of our time it has opposed the interference of government, even for the best objects; and because i* was solicitous for those objects, has preferred to trust them to wiser, safer and more efficient agencies. Devoted to the nghts of our American Industry, which is now neglm ning to fill thg world with the renown of its 'achievements, it has refused to direct its application by prohibitory or protective tariffs, preferring that each mau should judge how he can make his own labor most productive, and trusting for the aggregate result to those natural laws which enable everyone of our city population daily to choose bis food, and yet furnish buyers for everything that has been provided beforehand. Claiming a good currency for the people, and well regulated exchanges, it has discarded a national bank, and seeks to put these great interests under the guardianship of the laws of trade. Friendly to the modern machinery of travel and transport— which, by cheapening the interchange of products of different soils and climates, has in effect added fertility to the one and geniality to the other—it has opposed internal improvements by the general government and prohibited loans ojf state credit and money in aid of railroads. Asserting the ireedom of voluntary association it tuas refused special charters and established general laws of incorporation. On all these questions—which have largely occupied the public attention for a generation—because the democratic party has favored the ends it has rejected the means by which large parties and many good men have erroneously sought to promote them.” The prosperity of the country is the end which the democratic party has in view, and because it has that end in view it cannot “comp to the relief of the market” or offer to bolster np this particular industry or that particular interest. The withdrawal of governmental interference as much as possible from their affairs is what the people voted for when they gave the democratic party entire control of the federal government, and that withdrawal will be the basis of all the “policies” which the administration will propose.—Albany Argus. _

M’KIN LEY IS ENTERED. The “Uttlr Napoleon" Has His Eye on the Presidential Chair. Thera is nothing attractive in the governorship of Ohio save as a man may use it as-Rutherford, Hayes used it for the advancement of his own political fortunes;. No chief executive of any state in thermion is so entirely shorn of power as the chief magistrate of Ohio. Many of the duties ordinarily assigned to the executive are denied by the constitution of Ohio.to its governor. The governor of Ohio has the inestimable happiness of appointing a limited number of notaries public and of appearing upon occasions of public parade at the head of a brilliant staff any one of whom is as well compensated by Ohio as himself. Gov. McKinley lias been the chief executive of Ohio for two years." He cannot be in love with the place because of itself. lie is again a.candidate for the position and it is asserted in his behalf that he is the candidate of a united republican party, having reached the position by address and singlemindedness where he compels the Sherman and Foraker fighting force to surrender their cause of strife and give him their support The close vote in Ohio last fall probably contributes more than any personal address of Gov. McKinley to the bringing about of this armed neutrality upon the part,of the contending factions and faction leaders in Ohio. But what does the renomination of William McKinley mean? If it shall be followed by his election he will become the most conspicuous candidate of the republican party in the union for the nomination of that party in 1896, and until he shall fail, as Sherman has failed uniformly, he will bring to the convention that peculiar Ohio support which John Sherman always enjoyed. Mr. McKinley asks the republican party of Ohio to reelect him to the governorship in order that he may have a coign of vantage whence he may make his canvass for the presidential nomination.—Chicago Times.

-Disclosures of the scandalous habits which prevailed in the social and political circles of the queen’s court afford perfect reasons for a change of the Hawaiian government, but they do not affect the problem of annexation. Mr. Cleveland’s conduct of the annexation question is a lesson to the world Heretofore nations have grabbed after new territory with the ill manners and thoughtlessness of children Mr. Cleveland has acted on the theory that connection with the United States is a favor which another nation should seek and that a proposition must be accompanied with unexceptionable reasons. A people which come under United States, institutions gain more than they nossiblv give.—Kansas City Times.

A POLITICAL RESURRECTION. Got. McKinley Comes to Ufa at the Colombo* Convention. Nothing is plainer than the fact that Maj. McKinley made his speech before the Ohio republican convention as a candidate for the presidential nomination in 1896. It was clearly the dragnet of a politician who has set his ambition upon the leadership of his party in the next presidential campaign, and, from the scum on the top to the mire at the bottom, it seined the waters of the political pond. The governor, not in the least abashed by the knowledge that he was the sponsor for the policy which resulted in the crushing defeat of his party last November, is the first to step forward to ask that its standard be placed in his hands in the next contest: and in doing this he leaves none of the resorts of the demagogue unused. Painting an exaggerated picture of the condition of the country, which, by the way, is the legacy of the republican party, he denounces the democratic party because it has not already brought

relief. Proclaiming that if the democratic president will announce his purpose to adhere to the republican financial policy confidence will be restored and prosperity be assured, he denounces that president for not entering1 at once upon a different policy. Abusing President Cleveland because he has not declared his intention to call an extra session of congress, he ignores the publicly-declared intention of President Cleveland to call an extra session of congress. Indicting the democratic party because it has not made good he promises 6f its platform, he condemns the democratic party because it proposes to make good those promises. Repudiated ^overwhelmingly by the people of t*ie country as a tariff maker, he preaches to them that he is the only living tariff god, and that all who do not believe in him shall be damned. Excoriating1 the democrats because they intend to carry out the principles of their platform, he pats the democrats on the back and invites them to vote for him, because he says they have repented since the election and do not intend to carry out the principles of their platform. Responsible more than any other one man for the present unsettled condition of industry and commerce, he poses as the one man who should dictate our economic policy. Saying all he can to create a lack of confidence in the patriotism, honesty and intelligence of the administration which must direct the government, he prates platitudes about the duty of all good citizens to help inspire faith and dispel apprehension. Committing himself to wholesale pension jobbery, he slanders without hesitation Washington, Jefferson and Garfield., Gov. McKinley, estimable as he may be as a man, mtist now be looked upon for the next three years as a politician of the carnivorous, gramnivorons, omnivorous stripe. What a commotion among the woodcocks would be caused, even as the deliverance of such a politician, if the last woodcock had not long ago fled from Ohio!—Louisville CourierJournal. _ NOTES AND COMMENTS. -The republicans of Iowa went at the gubernational boom of CoL Clarkson so savagely that it died “a born in.** —Detroit Free Press, -Gov. McKinley says the republican party “was organized in conviction.” Well, it was also disorganized in conviction. Let the sentence be passed.—N. Y. World. ——If Gov. McKinley’s state administration is an illustration of his abilities as a political economist, how much ought his tariff ideas to be worth?—

Cleveland Putin Dealer. -The record thus far goes to show that President Cleveland is much more expert as a fisherman than is cx-Presi-dent Harrison. As to duck-shooting one seems to be about as much of, a statesman as the other.—Detroit Free Press. -Senator Quay warns the Pennsylvania republicans that only men of unblemished character should be nominated for office. As a reminiscence of the Delamater campaign and a calm ignoring of his own lack of qualification in the matter of character this is affine example of a adamantine cheek.—N. Y. World. -The strongest words of commendation which Gen. Grosvenor could find to say of the McKinley bill at Columbus were that “it fs the nearest approach to free trade we have ever had.’’ And this of a ‘’measure which was passed avowedly “to check imports,” and which is the platform of the party whose war cry is that the democrats propose to ruin the country with free trade!—Louisville Courier-JournaL ——Ohio is now agitated over the In-, vestigation, in progress, of a charge that the funds of the state were largely drawn upor last fall to help win the narrow majority of ten thousand by which the republican ticket pulled through. Very damaging developments are already reported, and it is promised that any lingering doubts as to the rottenness of the state administration will be removed. It looks like a wholesale raid on the treasury for the republican sinews of war.—Detroit Free Press. -Gov. McKinley, whom the republicans nominated at Columbus, feels very bad over the unsatisfactory condition of the country. It is natural that he should. If there is any one man who is responsible for the unsatisfactory state of affairs that man is William McKinley. In his speech accepting the nomination the other day he attempted to shift the responsibility for the financial stringency on to the shoulders of the present administration, disregarding the fact that the tariff and the currency are just as the republicans—led by Gov. McKinley—left them, and that nothing can be done to change them until congress assembles. But Gov. McKinley don’t, believe all that he said. Whatever shortcomings or frailties have been imputed to him, no one has yet charged him with being a downright fool.—Chicago Herald.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Simple. He has tried it iri ever eleven hundred cases, and never failec. except in two cases (both thunder humcr). He has now in his possession over two hundred .certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. ' If the stomach is foul or bilious if will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get;, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonfui in water at bedtime, and read the Lalx?!.
