CHRISTIAN FAITH. i Dr. Talmage Tells How It May Be Augmented. A Constant Study of the llible'.and of the Teittiutony of Others Supplemented by Constant and Karuest Prayer.

The following- discourse was delivered by Rev. T. I)e\Vitt TaImage in • the^Brooklyn tabernacle, being based on the text: Lord, increase our faith.—Luke xvd.. 5. “What a pity he is going there," said my friend, a most distinguished general of the army, when he was told that the reason for my not being present on a certain celebrated day in Brooklyn was that on that day I had sailed for the Holy Land.. “Why do you say that?" inquired some one. My military friend replied: “Oh, he will be disillusioned when he gets atnid the squalor and commonplace scenes of Palestine, and his faith will be shaken in Christianity.” The great general misjudged the ease. I went to the Holy Land for the one purpose of having my faith strengthened, and that was the result which eame of it. In all our ionrneyings. in all our readings, in all our associations, in-all our plans, augmentation,rather than the depletion of our faitii, should he our chief desire. It is easy enough to have our faith destroyed. 1 can give you a recipe for its obliteration. Read ink del books, have long and frequent conversations with skeptics, attend the lectures of those antagonistic to .religion, give full swing to some bad habit, and your faith will be to completely gone that you will laugh at the idea that you ever had any. If you want to ruin your faith, yon can do it more easily than you eau do anything e!s?. After believing the Bible all my .life, I can see a plain way bv which, in six weeks. I could enlist my voice and pen and heart and head and entire nature in tire bombardment of „ the Scriptures aad the church and all I now hold _sewed, That it Js easy to banish 'soon and forever all respect for the Bible, 1 prove by the faet that so many have done it. They were not particularly brainy, nor had especial force of will, but they so thoroughly accomplished the overthrow of their faith that they have no more- idea that the Bible is true, or that Christianity amounts to anything, than they have in the truth of the “Arabian Nights' Entertainments,” or the existence of Hon Quixote’s “windmills.” They have destroyed their faith so thoroughly that they never will have a return of it. Fifty revivals of religion- may sweep over the city, the town, the neighborhood where they live, and they will feel nothing but a si!ent.i»r expressed disgust. There am persons in this house to-day who twenty years ago gave up their faith and they will never resume it. The black and deeptoned bell of doom hangs over their head, and I take the hammer of that bell, and 1 strike it three times with all my might, and it sounds. Woe! Woe! Woe! But my wish, and the wish of most of you, is the prayer expressed by the disciples of Jesus Christ, in the words of my text: “Lord, increase our faith.” The first mode of accomplishing this is to study the Bible itself. I do not believe there is an infidel now alive ■who has read the Bible through. But as so important a document needs to be read at least twice through iu orderthat it may be thoroughly understood, and read in course, 1 now offer one hundred dollars reward to any infidel who has mad the Bible through twice and read it in course. But 1 can not take such a man’s word for it, for there is no foundation for integrity, except' the Bible, and the man who rejects the source of truth, how can I accept his truthfulness? So I must have another witness in the case before* I give the reward. I must have the testimony of some one who has seen him mad it all through twice. Infidels fish in this Bible for incoherences and contradictions and absurdities, and if you find their Bible, you will see interlineations

in the itooiv ot Jonah an some or the chapters of that unfortunate prophet nearly worn out by much use, and some parts of Second Samuel or First Kings you will find him with fingermarks. but the pages which contain the ten commandments and the psalms of David and the Sermon on the Mount and the Book of John, the Evangelist, will not have a single lead-pencil stroke in the margin, nor any fingermarks showing frequent perusal. The father of one of the presidents of-the United States was a ^pronounced infidel. I knew it when many years ago I accepted his invitation to;spead the night in his home. J ust before retiring at night he said, in a jocose way: “I suppose you are accustomed to read the Bible before going to bed, and here is my Bible from which to read.'" He then told me what portions he would like to have me read, and he, only asked for those portions on whmh he could easily be facetious. You know you can make fun about any thing. 1 suppose you could take the last letter your father or mother ever wrote and find something in the grammar, or the spelling, or the tremor of the penmanship about which to be derisively critical. The internal evidence of the truthfulness of the Bible is so mighty that no one man out of the billion six hundred millions of the world's present population, or the vaster millions of the past, ever read the Bible in course, and read it prayerfully and carefully, but was led to believe it. i John Murray, the famous book publisher of Edinburgh, and the intimate friend of Southey, Coleridge, Walter Scott, Canning and Washington Irving, bought of Moore, the poet, the “Memoirs of Lord Byron,” and they were to be published after Byron’s death. But they were not fit to be published, although Murray had paid for them ten thousand dollars. That was a solemn conclave when •eightof the prominent literary people of ‘thoae times assembled in Albemarle street after Byron’s death to decide

' what should be done with the "Memoirs” wuieh were charged and sar- | charged with defamations and .indelicacies. Tiio “Memoirs” were read and pondered, and the decision came that they must he burned, and not until the last worded “Memoirs” went to ashes did the literary company separate. Hut. suppose now, all the best spirits of all ages were assembled to decide the fate of the Bible, which is the last will and testament of our Heavenly Father, and these Memoirs of our Lord Jesus, what would be their verdict? Shall they burn or shall they live? The unanimous verdict of all is: “Let it live, through all else burn.” Then put together on the i other hand all the debauchees and ; profligates and assassins of the ages, and their unanimous verdict concerning the Bible would be: “Let it burn.” Mind you, I do not say that all infidels are immoral, but 1 do say that all the scapegraces and scoundrels of the universe agree with them about the Bible. Let me vote with those who believe in the Holy Scriptures. Men believe

other things with hall the evidence required to believe in the Bible. The distinguished Abner Kneeland rejected the Scriptures, and then put all his money into an enterprise for that Hocus-pocus “Captain Kid's Treasures, ’’ Kneelan's faith for doing so beirig founded on a man's statement that iie could tell where those treasures were buried from the 'looks of a glass of water dipped from the Hudson river. The internal evidence of the authenticity of the Scriptures is so exactf and so vivid that no honest add sane, can thoroughly and continuously and prayerfully read them without entering their diseipleship. So I put that internal evidence paramount. How ' are you led to believe in a letter yon receive from husband or wife or child or friend? You know the handwriting. You know the style. You recognize the sentiment. When the letter comes you do not summon the postmaster who stamped it and the postmaster who received it and the letter-carrier who brought it to your .door to prove that it is a genuine letter*- The internal evidence settles it, and by the same process you can forever settle the fact that the Bible is the handwriting and communication of the infinite Cod. Furthermore, as I have already intimated. we may increase our faith by the testimony of others. Perhaps we of lesser brain may have been- overcome by superstition or cajoled into an acceptance of a hollow pretension. So 1 will this morning, turn this house into a courtroom and summon witnesses, and you shall be the jury, and now I empanel you for that purpose, and I will put upon the witness stand men who all the world acknowledge to be strong intellectually and whose evidence in any other courtroom would be incontrovertible. 1 will not call to the witness stand any minister of the tiospel, for he might be prejudiced. There are two ways of taking an oath in a courtroom. One is by putting the lips to the Bible, and the other is by holding up the right hand toward Heaven. Now, as in this case, it is the Bible that is on" trial, we will not ask the witness to put the book to his lips, for that would imply that the sancity and divinity of the book is settled, and that would be begging the question. So I shall ask each witness to lift his hand toward Heaven in affirmation. Salmon P. Chase, chief-justice of the supreme court of the United States, appointed by President Lincoln, will take the witness stand. “Chief-Justice Chase, upon your oath, please to state what you have to sav about the book commonly called the Bible."’ The witness replies: “Therecame a time in my life when I doubted the divinity of the Scriptures, and I resolved, as a lawyer and judge, I would try the book as I would try anything in the courtroom, taking evidence for and against. It was a long and serious and profound study, and

using tae same principles of evidence in this religious matter as I always do in secular matters. I have come to the decision that the Bible is a supernatural book: that it has come from. Clod, and that the only safety for the human race is to follow its teachings." ‘'Judge, that will do. Go back to your pillow of dust on the banks of the Ohio. ” Next I put upon the witness stand a president of the United States—John Quinev Adams. “President Adams, what have you to say about the liible an.l Christianity.” The president replies: “I have for many years made it a practice to read through the liible once a year. My custom is to read four or five chapters every morning immediately after arising from my bed. It employs about an hour of my t ime, and seems to me the most suitable manner of beginning the day. In what light soever we regard the liible, whether with reference to revelation, to history or to morality, it is an invaluable and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and virtue.” Next 1 put upon the witness stand Sir Isaac Newton, the author of the Prineipia and the greatest natural philosopher the world has ever seen. “Sir Isaac, what have you to say concerning the liible?” The philosopher's reply is: “We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.” Next 1 put upon the witness stand the enchantment of letters, Sir Walter Scott, and when I ask him what he thinks of the place that our Great Book ought to take among other books he replies: 'There is but one book and that is the Bible.” Next 1 put upon the stand the most famous geologist of all time, Hugh Miller, an elder of Dr. Guthrie's Presbyterian ehurch, in Edinburgh, and Faraday, and Kepler, and they all testify to the same thing. They all say the Bible is from God and that the mightiest influence for good that ever touched our world is Christianity. “Chancellor Kent! What do you think of the Bible?” Answer: “No other book ever addressed itselfnso authoritatively and so pathetically to {He judgment and moral sense of mankind.” “Edmund Bnrke! What do you think of the Bible?” Answer: “1 have read the Bible morning* noon and night, and have ever since

been the happier and the better man for such reading.” Next I put upon the stand William E. Gladstone, the head of the English government, and X hear him saying what he said to me in January of 1890, when, in reply to his telegram: “Pray come to llawarden to-morrow.” I visited him. Then and there I asked him as to whether, in the 'passage of years, his faith in the Holy Scriptures and Christianity was on the increase of decrease, and he turned upon me with an emphasis and enthusiasm such as no one who has not conversed with him can fully appreciate, and expressed by voice and gesture and illumined countenance his ever-increasing faith in God and the Bible and Christianity as the only hope of our ruined world. “That is all, Mr. Gladstone, we will take of your time now, for, from the reports of what is going on in England just now I think you are very busy.” The next man 1 put upon

me witness si aim is tne late earl oi i\:atare, anil I ask him what he thinks of Christianity, and he replies: “Why do you ask me that? Did you hear me preach Christ in the ‘Midnight Mission’, of London?’’, ‘"Oh, yes! I remember!” Hut I see many witnesses present today in the court-room, and I call you to the witness stand, but I have only a second of time for any one of you. As you pass along just give one sentence in regard to Christianity. “Under Cod it lias changed my entire nature," says one. “It brought me from drunkenness and poverty to sobriety and a good home,” says another. “It solaced me when I last my child,” says another. “It gave, me a hope of future treasures when my property was swept off by the last panic,” says another. “It has given me a peace and a satisfaction more to me than all the world beside,” says another. “It has been to me light, and music, and fragrance, and radiant anticipation,” says another. Ah! stop the procession of witnesses. Enough! Enough! All those voices of the past and the present have mightily increased our faith. But I come to the height of my subject when I say the way to re-inforce our faith is to pray for it. So the disciples in my text got their abounding faith: “Lord increase our faith.” Some one suggests: “Do you really think that prayer amounts to anything?” I might as well ask you.is there a line of telegraphic poles from Mew York to Washington, is there a line of telegraphic wires from Manchester to London, from Cologne to Berlin. As those people who have sent and received messages on those lines know of their existence, so there are millions of souls who have been in constant communications with the capital of the universe.with the throne of the Almighty, with the great Cod Himself, for years and years and years. There has not been a day when supplications did not flash up and blessings did not flash down. Will some ignoramous, whohas never received a telegram or sent one, come and tell us that there is no such thing as telegraphic communication? Will someone who has never offered a prayer that was heard and answered come and tell us that that there is nothing in prayer? It may not come as we expeet it. but as-§jjre as an honest prayer goes up a TneroTfuT-mnsiUi-r will come down. During the blizzard of four or five years ago, you know that many of the telegraph wires were prostrated, and I telegraphed to Chicago by the way of Liverpool, England, and the answer, after awhile, came round by another wide circuit, and so the prayer ive offer may come back in a way we never imagined,’ and if we ask 1 to have our faith increased, although it may come by a widely different process than that which we expected, our confidence will surely be augmented. Oh, put it in every prayer you ever make between your next breath and your last gasgfc‘‘Lord, increase our faith”—faith in ^Christ as our personal ransom from present guilt and eter

niu eatastropne. nun in me omnipotent Holy Ghost. Faith in the Bible, the truest volume ever dictated or_ written or printed or read. Faith in adverse providences, harmonized for our best welfare. Faith in a judgment day that will set all things right which have for ages been wrong. Increase our faith, not by a fragile addition, but by an infinitude of recuperation. Let us do as we saw it done.in the country while we were yet in our teens, at the old farm house, after a long drought, and the well had been dried, and the cattle moaned with thirst at the bars, and the meadow brook had ceased to run, and the grass withered and the corn was shriveled up, and one day there was a growl of thunder, snd then a congregation of clouds on the sky, and then a startling flash, and then a drenching rain, and father and mother put barrels under every spout at the corners of the house, and set pails and buckets and tubs and pans and pitchers to catch as much as they could of the shower. For in many of our souls there has been a long drought of confidence, and in many no faith at all. Let us set out all our affections, all our hopes, all our contemplations, all our prayers to catch a mighty shower. “Lord, increase our faith.” I like the way that the minister's widow did in Elisha's time, when,after the familyfbeing very unfortunate, her two sons were about to be sold for debt, and she had nothing in the house but a pot of oil, and at Elisha's direction She borrowed from her neighbors all the vessels she could borrow, and then began to pour out the oil into those vessels, and kept • on pouring until they were all full, and she became an oil merchant with more assets than liabilities, and whenXshe cried, “Bring me yet a vessel.” the answer came, “There is not a vessel more.” So let us take what oil of faith we have and use it until the supply shall be miraculously multiplied. Bring on your empty vessels, and by the power of the Lord God of Elisha they shall be filled until they can hold no more of jubilant, all-inspiring and triumphant faith. —Where a good man lives is the place where the devil works the hardest

FARM AND GAKDi’^. THE MAKING OF ROADS. Importance of Ea*y tirade* I* >'ot I'uderstood Generally. Mr. F. A. Qunham, who was the engineer in charge of road improvements in Union county, X. J., and other popular suburbs of New York, the results of which have been in a high degree satisfactory. in a communication to Good Roads gives his general plan of operations: All the roads were carefully located and mapped, and accurate levels were taken and profiles made for establishing the grades, particular care being taken with this part of the work, as it was considered of the greatest importance. On the earlier roads some quite heavy earthwork was doijje both in excavation and embankment in order to reduce steep grades us much us possible. On later work, however, it was considered advisable to reduce the cost of the earthwork, and in order to do this grades were established which necessarily followed more nearly the general surface of the old roads. Sufficient grading was always done, however, to secure adequate inclination for drainage. The benefits to be secured by expanding even a moderate amount of money in improving the grade of roads about to be paved are not appreciated as they should be Hills and' hollows which might have been improved , at a very slight expense are often left in the road tocbe a continual detriment to its usefulness. It should be remembered that it is not expected nor desired to make a level road, but that often only a small amount of earth need be taken from the top of a hill and added to the hollow at its foot to convert a bad, hilly road into a good one with easy grades. 1Ye should also bear in mind that this expense of grading, once incurred, is forever done with, while if the need of grading should be realized after the completion of the pavement all the work done upon the latter would have to be sacrificed. Sometimes the road is too level, allowing the water to settle at slight depressions and sutHyate tthe subgrade.

TELFORD BEFOBE WEDGING. It is then imperative to cut or fill, or both, as may be found most expedient, in order to give a suflioient fall in the gutters to carry the water to the nearest stream. Underdrains are also re-t quired in such places to relieve the subsoil of water. This matter of scouring: a dry foundation for the pavement is' really the- most important end to be gained by grading, as the pavement may be constructed and permanently maintained on grades of very inconvenient steepness, bnt if the drainage is neglected the existence ol the pavement itself is iippenled. The total depth of pavement was generally twelve inches. On some ol the roadsthe telford founda.ion was jioJJartCTunder the entire width of the pavement, but a strip two feet wide on each side consisted of macadam stone only. Underdrains were laid wherevei required to relieve the subgrade of water and to lit it for rolling and consolidation. The telford foundation consisted of trap rock on most of the roads, a hard granulite or similar stone being used on the others. The stones were of the general wedge shape shown in the illustration, set on their bases and placed side by side with their longest dimensions transverse to the line of the road. The stones were at least eight inches deep, the base being from eight to twelve inches in length and not less than four inches in width. After a sufficient length of this foundation had been laid all projecting points of stone were broken off with hammers, and smaller stones, spalls and chips were wedged and hammered into every opening until the whole was made a rigid mass of stone. This process of knapping was continued until all points above grade were broken off, the low places filled with stone, and the telford presented a sufficiently even surface at the proper grade. The foundation was then rolled thoroughly, the roller used weighing at least five tons. In the construction of the latter roads a thin layer of clay was spread over the telford previous to the rolling to prevent the screenings (which were to be applied later) from sifting through the foundation, and also to form a cushion for the macadam stone.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Let no dead flowers remain on the flowering plant. Cheery delights in liquid manure. It heeds plenty of moisture. Remove the suckers from the apple trees. They ruin the trefes. Spixach and kale shonld be covered with a light mulch when the ground freezes in our northern climate. It is said that pulverized potash placed in the runs will kill moles. Open the runs, put in the potash and cover with a stone. Pick grapes three or four days before packing, and see to it that nothing but perfect fruit is packed. No matter how large the crop is, take this precaution. One of our horticulturists speaking of black knot says that the Washington, Bradshaw and Reine Claude are the least subject to it, while the Lombard, English Horse plum and Magnum Bonum are more liable to the black not—Farmers’ Voice. Unwins Capacity of a Horse. On the worst kind of earth road a horse can draw about four times as much as he can carry on his back. On a good macadamized road he can pull ten times as much; on a plank road twenty-five times as much, and on metal lines fifty-eight times aa much.

—Holidays are curiously abused by some busy men, especially lawyers, young and old. Many lawyers spend six or eight hours of every holiday in undisturbed work at their offices, where on such days they are safe from the intrusion alike of clients and friends. Others crowd the library of the Bar association, and still others work quietly at their cases in club libraries or in the privacy of their own homes. With a these men and many others holidays are esteemed chiefly valuable^as offering an opportunity of clearing up arrears of work. — “Who is that dowdy-looking woman going through the corridor?” “That is a successful fashipn writer on one of the magazines.-2i.
