TALMAGE’S SERMON. An Appeal for the Famine Sufferers in Far India. --- Wonders and Beauties of the Stricken Land Portrayed - What C hristian Ml—lanarlaa Have Done— Present Conditions. ,

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage,in the course of his mission in behalf of the famine sufferers of India, delivered the following discourse, basing it on the text: Tills Is Ahasuerus, which relsmed from India •ren into Ethiopia -Esther i., 17. Among the 773,698 words which make up the Bible only onee occurs the word “India.” In this part of the Scriptures which the rabbis call “Megillah Esther,” or the volume of Esther, a book sometimes complained agaiiftt because the word “God” is not even onee mentioned in it, although one rightly disposed can see God in it from the first chapter to the last, we have it set forth that Xerxes, or Ahasuerus, who invaded Greeee with 2,000,000 men. but returned in a poor fisher's boat, had a vast dominion, among other regions, India. In my text India takes its place in Bible geography. amT the interest in that land has continued to increase, until, with moa^aml more enthusiasm, all around t^m world Bishop Heber's hymn about India's eoral strand” is being song, ^ever will I forget the thrill of anticipation that went through my body and mind and soul when, after two weeks' tossing on the seas around Ceylon and India—fo^he winds did not, according to the old hymn, “blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle—our ship sailed up one of the mouths of the Ganges, past James and Mary island, . so named because a royal ship ' of that name was wrecked there, and 1 stepped ashore at Calcutta, amid the shrines and temples and sculptures of that “City of Palaces," the strange physiognomies of the living and the cremations of the dead. I had never expected to be there, because the sea and I long ago had a serious falling out; but the facilities of travel are so increasing that yon or your children will probably visit that land of boundless fascination. Its configuration is such as no one but God could have architected, and it seems as if a man who had no religion, going there, would be obliged to acknowledge a God. as did the cowboy in Colorado. His companion, an atheist, had about persuaded the cowboy that there was no God; but coming amidst some of that tremendous scenery of high rocks and awful chasms, and depths dug under depths, and mountains piled on mountains, the cowboy - said to his atheistic companion: “Jack, if there is no God now, I guess from the looks of things around here there must have been a God some time.” No one but the omniscient could have planned India and no one but the omnipotent could have built it. It is a — great triangle, its base the Himalayas, a word meaning “the dwelling place of snowa” those mountains pouring out of their crystal cup the Indua the Brahmaputra and the Gaagea to •lake* the thirst of the vast populations of India That country is the home of

jwu.uw.uw sou is. vtnaiever oe one s taste, poinjj there, his taste is gratified. Some go as hunters of great game, and there is no end to their entertainment. Mighty fauna: Bison, buffalo, rhinoceros. elephant, panther, lion, tiger— this last to be the perpetual game for Americans and Europeans, because he comes up from the malarial swamps where no human being dare enter: the deer and antelope his accustomed food, but once haring obtained the taste of human blood, he wants nothing else, and is called “the man-eater.” You can not see the tiger's natural ferocity after he has been humiliated by a voyage across the sea. You need to hear his growl as he presses his iron paw against the cage in Calcutta. Thirteen towns hare been abandoned as residence because of the work of this cruel invader. In India in the year 1877, 819 people were slain by the tiger and 10,000 cattle destroyed. From the back ’ of . the elephant or from galleries built among the trees 1,500 tigers went down, and 918,000 of government reward were paid the sportsmen. 1 advise all those who in America and other lands find amusement in shooting singing birds, coming home at night with empty powder flask and a whole choc* of Heaven slang over their shoulder, to absent themselves for awhile, and attack the justifiable game of India. Or if you go as botanists, oh. what opulence of floral. With no distinct flora of its own, it is the chorus of all the flora of Persia, and Siberia, and China, and Arabia, and Egypt. Tlu^Haptist missionary, Carey, who d1*ffinfinite good to India, had two great passions —first, a* passion for souls, and next, a passion ’ for flowers, and he adorned his Asiatic home and the American homes of his friends, and museums on either side the sea, with the results of his floral expeditions in India. To prepare himself for morning prayers, he was accustomed to walk amid the flowers and trees. It is the heaven of the magnolia and abelmosk and palm tree. The ethnologist going their will find endlesa entertainment in the study of the races now living there and the races of whose blood they are a commingling. The historian going there will find his theory of Warren Hastings* government in India the reverse from that which Edmund Burke gave him in the most famous address ever made in a court-room, its two characteristics matchless eloquence and one-sidednesa of statement. The archwologist will be thrown into a frenxy of delight ns he visits Dehli of India and digs down and finds seven dead cities underneath the now-living city. All success to the hunters and the botanists and the ethnologists and the historians and the arehieiagists who visit India, eacn one on his or her errand! But we to-day visit India as Christian women and men to hear the lull meaning of a groan of hunger that has traveled 14,000 miles, yet gets loader and more agonising as the days go by.

Bat why have any interest in people so far away that it is evening there when it is morning here, their complexion darker, their language to us a jargon, their attire unlike that found in any American wardrobe, their memory and their ambition unlike anything that we recall or hope for? With more emphasis than you put into the interrogatory “Why,” I answer, first: Because our Christ was an Asiatic. Egypt gave to us its monuments, Borne gave to us its law, Germany gave to us its philosophy,.

but Asia gave to us its Christ. His mother an Asiatic; the mountains that looked down upon him, Asiatic; the lakes on whose pebbly banks He rested and on whose chopped waves He walked, Asiatic; the apostles whom He first commissioned, Asiatic; the audiences He whelmed with His illustrations drawn from blooming lilies and salt crystals, and great rainfalls, and bellowing tempests, and hypocrites, long faces and croaking ravens —all those audiences Asiatic. Christ during His earthly stay was never outside of Asia. When He had 16 or 18 years to spare from His active work, instead of spending that time in Europe, I think He goes farther toward the heart of Asia—namely, India. The Bible says nothing of Christ from 13 years of age until SO, but there are records in India and traditions in India which represent a strange, wonderful, most excellent and supernatural being as staying in India about that time. I think Christ was there much of the time between His twelfth and His thirtieth year in India, but however that may be, Christ was born in Asia, suffered in Asia, died in Asia and ascended from Asia, and all that makes me turn my ear more attentively toward that continent as I hear its cry of distress. Besides that, I remember that some of the most splendid achievements for the cause of that Asiatic Christ have been made in India. How the heart of every intelligent Christian beats with admiration at the mere mention of the ! name of Henry Martyn. Having read the life of our American David Brainerd, who gave his life to evangelising our American savages, Henry Martyn goes forward to give his life for the salvation of India, dying from exhaustion of service at 31 years of age. Lord Macaulay, writing of him, says: Herr Martyn lies' In manhood's early bloom. The Christian hero found a Pagan tomb. Religion, sorrowing o’er her favorite son. Points to the glorious trophies which he woa Immortal trophies! Not with slaughter red. Nor stained with tears by friendless orphans shed: But trophies of the Cross! In that dear name. Through every scene of danger, toil, and shame. Onward he Journeyed to that happy shore. Where danger, toil, and shame are known no more.

Need I tell you of Alphonse Lacroix, i the Swiss missionary in India; or of i William Butler, the glorious American i Methodist missionary in India; or of ! the royal family of the Scudders, of | the Reformed Church of America, my | dear mother church to whom I gave a | kiss of love in passing; or of Dr. AlexI ander Duff, the Scotch missionary, | whose visit to this country some of us ; will remember forever? When he stood in the old Broadway tabernacle. New York, and pleaded for India until there was no other depth of religious 1 emotion for him to stir and no loftier j height of Christian eloquence for him i to scale, and closed in a whirlwind of | hallelujahs, I could easily believe that | which was said of him, that , while pleading the cause of India in one of the churches of Scotland he got so overwrought that he fell in the pulpit in a swoon and was carried into the vestry to be resuscitated, and when restored to his senses and preparation was being made to carry him out to some dwelling where he could be put to bed. he compelled his friends to take him back to the pulpit to complete his plea for the salvation of India, no sooner getting on his feet than he began where he left off, but with more gigantic power than before he fainted. But just as noble as any I have mentioned are the men and women who are there now for Christ's sake and the redemption of that people. Far away from their native land, famiue on one side and black plague on the other side, swamps breathing on them malaria, and jungles howling on them with wild beasts or hissing with cobras; the names of those missionaries of all denominations to be written so high on the roll of martyrs that no names of the last 1,800 years shall be written above them. You need to see them at their work in schools and churches and lazarettos to appreciate them. AH honor upon them and their households, while I smite the lying lips of their slanderers! Oh, it is hard to be hungry in a world where there is enough grain, and fruit, and meat, to fill all the hungry mouths on the planet; but, alas! that the sufferer arid the supply can not be brought together. There stands India to-day! Look at her! Her face dusky from the hot suns of many centuries; under her turban, snch achings of brow as only a dying nation feels; her eyes hollow with unutterable woe; the tears rolling down her sunken cheek; her back bent with more agonies than she knows how to carry; her ovens containing nothing but ashes. Gaunt, ghastly, wasted, the dew of death upon her forehead and a pallor such as the last hour brings, she stretches forth her trembling hand toward us, and with hoarse whisper she says: **I am dying! Give me bread! That is what I want! Bread! Give it to me quick; give it to me now—bread! bread! j bread r* America has heard the cry. Many thousands of dollars have al- j ready been contributed. One ship! laden with breadstuffs has sailed from j San Francisco for India. Our senate : and house of representatives in a bill! signed by our sympathetic president, j have authorised the secretary of the ] navy to charter a vessel to carry food j to the famine sufferers, and you may j help fill that ship. We want to send • at least 000,000 bushels of corn. That will save the Uvea of at least 030,000 people. Many will respond in contributions of money, and the barns and corn cribs of the entire United States will pour forth their

treasures of food. When that ship Is laden till it can carry no more, we will ask Him who holds the wind in His fist and plants His triumphant foot on stormy waves to let nothin; hut good happen to the ship till it anchors in Bengal or Arabian waters. They who help by contributions of money or breadstuffs toward filling that relief ship will flavor their own food for their lifetime with appetising qualities, and | insure their own welfare through the t promise of Him who said: “Blessed is ] he that considereth the poor; the Lord I will deliver him in time of trouble/’ i And now I bethink myself of some* i thing I never thought of before. I had [ noticed that the circle is God’s favorite ! figure, and upon that subject I ad- ' dressed you some time ago, but it did

; not occur to me until now that the j Gospel seems to be moving in a circle. It started in Asia, Bethlehem, an Asiatic village; Jordan, an Asiatic river; Calvary, an Asiatic mountain. Then this Gospel moved on to Europe; witness the chapels and churches and cathedrals and Christian universities of that continent, n. Then it crossed to America. It has prayed and preached and sung its way across our continent. It has crossed to Asia, taking the Sandwich islands in its way. and now in all the great cities on the coast of China people are singing “Rock of Ages'* and “There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood.” for you must know that not only have the Scriptures been translated into those Asiatic tongues, but also the evangelical hymns. My missionary brother, John, translated some of them into Chinese, and Mr. Gladstone gave [ me a copy of the hymn, “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” which he had himself translated into Gaeek. The Chaist who, it seems, spent 16 or IS years of His life in India, is there now in spirit, converting and saving the people by the hundreds of thousands, and the Gospel will move right on through Asia until the glory of the Saviour's birth will anew be made known in Bethlehem, and the story of a Saviour's I sacrifice be told anew on and around Mount Calvary, and the story of a Saviour's ascension be told anew on the shoulder of Mount Olivet. And then do you not see the circle will be complete? The glorious circle, the circles of the earth! This old planet, gashed with earthquake, and scorched with conflagration. and torn with revolutions, will be girdled with churches, with schools, with universities, with millennial festivities. How cheering and how inspiring the thought that we are, whether giving temporal or spiritual relief, working on the segment of such a circle! And that the Christly mission which started in Asia will keep on its way until it goes clear around to

the place where it started! Then the earth will have demonstrated that for which it was created, and as soon as a world has completed its mission it dies. Part of the heavens is a cemetery of dead worlds. Our world built to demonstrate to the worlds which have been loyal to God the awful* results of disloyalty, so that none of them may ever attempt it—I say our world, having finished its mission, may then go out of existence. The central fires of the world which are burning out rapidly toward the crust may have reached the surface by that time and the Bible prophecy be fulfilled, which declares that the earth and all things that are therein shall be burned up. The ransomed human race at that time on earth wiH start unhurt in those chariots of fire for the great metropolis of the universe, the Heaven, where the redeemed of the Lord shall talk over the famines and the plagues and the wars which the earth suffered and against which we struggled and prayed as long as there was any breath in us. Glorious consummation! May 10, 1869, was a memorable day, for then was laid the last tie that connected the two rail tracks which united the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The Central Pacific railroad was built from California eastward. The Union Pacific railroad was built westward. They were within arm's reach of meeting, only one more piece of the rail track to put down. A great audience assembled, mid-continent, to see the last tie laid. The locomotives of the eastern and western trains stood panting on the tracks close by. Oration explained the occasion, and prayer solemnized it, and music enchanted it. ! The tie was made of polished laurel | wood bound with silver bands, and [ three spikes were used—a gold spike, | presented by California; a silver | spike, presented by Nevada, and an i iron spike, presented by Arizona. | When, all heads uncovered and all j hearts thrilling with emotion, the hammer struck the last spike into its place, ; the cannon boomed it amid the re- | sounding mountain echoes, and the ! telegraphic instruments clicked to all i nations that tie deed was done. My friends, if the laying of the last tie | that bound the east and the west of | one continent together was such a rei sounding occasion, what will it be when the last tie of the track of Gospel influences, reaching clear around the world, shall be laid amid the anthems of all nations? The spikes will be the golden and silver spikes fashioned out of the’ Christian generosity of the hemispheres. The last hammer stroke that completes the work will be heard by all the raptured and piled up galleries of the universe, and the mountains of earth will shout to the thrones of Heaven. ““Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Hallelujah! For the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ V* Opportunity. Life is opportunity. Its wot'h fat us depends largely on our own volition. What the world is for us depends largely on what we are ourselves. Rabbi Joseph Silverman.

WOMAN TO WOMEN.

From the Republican, Belvldere, HI. Many a woman will tecogniae the ills described below by Mrs. W. L. De Munn, of Capron, 111. Unfortunately, they are ilia peculiar to the sex, and we have no doubt, whatever, will be read with the greatest in- | terest. The facts are given precisely as stated to a reporter of this paper. Mrs. De Munn said: I was almost a wreck. I was all run down and too weak to do anything. I felt as if there was no hope for relief. 1 managed to keep around the house a good part of the time, but the bed was the proper place for me. No one knew how badly I felt. My appetite was gone, I was troubled with a weakness peculiar to women, and at times became so dizzy that I could not stand up. On several occasions I reeled off the sidewalk and fell when I attempted to walk. 1 have given you but a faint idea of my con* dition.” “Howdid it happen that you were cured?" “I read an article in one of the papers which seemed plain and honest and was induced to buy a box of Dr. williams’ Pink Pills. I was delighted to obtain relief before using the entire box. I continued taking the medicine and to-day am completely cured. You can’t say too much for those pills.” repeated Mrs. De Munn. “Do you know of any other cases?** “Yes, I know of several. I recommended the piU3 to my neighbor and everyone who has taken them think there is nothing like them. My sister took them for nervous headache and received prompt relief. There seems to be something in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to make sick people well. I think they, were rightly named when they called them Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Phle People.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexion, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealeta, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. You never really know how many diseases there are to which mortals are subject until you hear a crowd of old women talking together.—Atchison Globe. Just try a 10c box of Cascarets candy cathartic,finest liver and bowel regulator made.

A man is a fool for betting the opposite way from which he votes. ALUMINIUM AND ITS USES.

A recent invention in aluminium alloys is Wolframinium, discovered by William Berg, a German contractor of aluminium military equipments, who also invented the victoria alloy. The production of aluminium has increased so enormously in the past decade that the development of working it has also been great, and we find results to-day which three years ago were hardly believed to be possible. At the Bock Island arsenal a few meat cans have been made of stiffened aluminium sheet?. These weigh but six ounces, while the regulation meat can of tinned iron for army uses weighs 18 ounces. The only fault found with the aluminium meat can is that if placed in a fire without food or some 6uch material in it to conduct off the heat it will malt. In this country the most promising alloy is nickel aluminium which, like the victoria alloy, seems to be remarkably well adapted for castings. In this form (castings) it has a tensile strength of 25.000to 30.000 pounds per square inch with the rigidity of cast iron. Its specific gravity is 3.0, while its remarkable resilience and ductility fit it for use in many articles of military equipment. In the German and French armies the application of aluminium and its alloys to military purposes has passed the experimental stage in several important articles of equipment. Canteens, cups, cooking utensils, etc., made of aluminium alloys can by means of stamping and spinning be made entirely without soldered joints, and however crushed and dented in service can readily be hammered ^ack into shape.

Wfcy McCormick Chanced from tha Left to the Risht Hood Binder. It has been said that the conveniences of one age become the necessities of the next; but no ordinarily sane man will contend that the necessities of one age should become the inconveniences of the next. When binding was done by hand the left hand cut harvester was a necessity. The grain fell on the platform of the harvester and was delivered into the receiver with its heads towards the rear of the machine. The men stood in the receiver facing the grain. With the left hand machine the heads of the grain are at the left hand of the man doing the binding, so in taking out the bundle with the band around it. whether the man turned to the front table or to the back table he kept his position toward the bundle itself—that is, with the heads toward his left hand; hence, in making the tuck he shoved the ends under the.band toward the heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by grasping into the heads, as shown in the

illustration, and the tuck should therefore be toward the heads, so that it will not pull out. The hand binding harvester with men to do the binding is out of date, and so is the left hand machine, which has been superseded by the McCormick Right Hand Open Elevator, the success of which makes it seem highly probable that there will be no progressive manufacturer building left hand machines in three years. 4. The application of roller bearings to grain cutting machinery was made by J. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent, No. 86.584, for an improved reaper, showed and described various ways of using roller and ball bearings in harvesters. In view of these facts it is somewhat amusing to read the claims of a certain reaper maker of the present day, who says he was the first to introduce roller bearings iu harvesting machinery. As a matter of fact this manufacturer is comparatively a beginner in the art of reaper building and has originated nothing. Unquestionably the most practical and satisfactory application of roller bearings to binders ana mowers has been made by the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. The Particular form used by them was patented in 1882 and is now to be found in all McCormick machines. The especially valuable

feature of the McCormick roller bearing is seen in the form—or cage as it is called— which holds the rollers from running together, and if for any cause the cage is taken from the shaft the rollers will not fall out and get lost. In order to avoid the McCormick patent the other harvesting machine company who claims to be the originator of roller bearings in harvesters has cut out the metal in the ring at the ends of the rollers. If the cage is taken out the rollers slip out and become filled with grit, or worse, get lost. The methods of the McCormick Company result in an annual saving of many thousands of dollars to the farming public. New devices are not embodied in their machines until long and oft-repeated trials have shown them to be practical. It has been the same with the roller bearings as with everything else—McCormick experimenting is done at McCormick expense, and not at the expense of the farmers, who are too often duped by manufacturers who rush into print for notoriety and bull the market with unpractical forms.
