BOUND IN A BUNDLE. Dr. Talmage Chooses * Familiar Simile for a Text The Prcelou Bundle of Life ud the Care It Should Receive—Thla*e of Earthly and Heavenly. Existence.

{Washington ftiarcm a. uopyngnt isw.j Under the familiar image of a bundle Dr. Talmage shows in this sermon the ^things which go to lhake irp man's •earthly and heavenly life; text, I Samuel ;25:29. The soul of my Lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God.” Beautiful Abigail, in her rhythmic" plea for the rescue of her inebriate husband, whd died within ten days, ad.dressed Dand the warrior in the words .of the textj. She suggests that his life, physically and intellectually and spiritually, is a valuable package or bundle, • divinely bound up and to be divinely protected. That phrase "bundle of life” I heard many times in my father’s family prayers. Famil)’ prayers, you know, have frequent repetitions, because day by day they acknowledge about the same blessings and sympathize with about the same misfortunes, and I do not know why those who lead at household devotions should seek variety of composition. That familiar prayer becomes the household liturgy. I would not give one of my old father’s prayers for SO elocutionary supplications. Again and again|, in the morning and evening prayer, I heard“the request that we might all be bound' up in the £ bundle of life, but 1 did not know until .a few days ago that the phrase was a Bible phrase. Now, the more I think of it the better I like it. Bundle; of life! It is such a ' simple and unpretending, yet expressive CMfl^arisc^i. There is nothing like graimMWjS^uencein the Scriptures. While there are many sublime passages in Holy Writ, there are more passages homely and drawing illustrations from common observation and everyday life. In Christ’s great sermons Sou hear a hen clucking her chickens together and* 4 see the photographs of hypocrites with a sad countenance and hear of the grass of the field, and the black crows which our Heavenly Father feeds, and the salt that is worthless, and the precious stones flung under the feet of swine, and the shifting sand that lets down the house with a great crash and hear the comparison of the text, the most unpoetical thing we can think of—a bundle. Ordinarily it is something tossed about, something thrown under the table, something that suggests garrets wr something on the shoulder of i poor wayfarer. But there are bundles of great value, buddies put up with . great caution, bundles the loss of which f means consternation and despair, and there have been bundles representing the worth of a kingdom. During the last spell oficold weather there were bundles that’attracted the mention and the plaudits of the high heavens—bundles of clothing on the way from comfortable homes to the door of the mission-room, and Christ rsfood in the snowbanks and said as the bundles passed: “Naked, and ye slothed’me. Inasmuch as ye have done * it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Those, bundles are multiplying. Blessings on those who pack them! Bless- , ings on those who distribute them! Blessings on those who receive them !a With what beautiful aptitude did Abi•gail. in my texj, speak of the bundle of fife! Oh. what a precious bundle is life! Bundle of memories, bundle of * hopes, bundle of ambitions, bundle of destinies! Once in awhile a man writes his autobiography, and it is of thrilling interest. The story of his birthplace. the story of his struggles, the story of his sufferings, the story of his triumphs! But if the autobiography of the most eventful life were well written • it would make many chapters of adventure. of tragedy, of comedy, and there would not be an uninteresting step frorh cradle to grave.

uumiie oi memories are you! J3oyhood memories, with all its injustices from playmates, with all its games with J _ ball and bat aad kite and sled. Manhood memories, with all your struggles in starting—obstacles, oppositions, accidents. misfortunes, losses, successes. Memories of the first manage you ever saw solemnized, of the first grave you ever saw opened, of the first mighty -wrong you ever suffered, of the first ■victory you ever gained. Memory ?of the hour when you were affianced, memory of the first advent in your borne, memory of the roseate cheek .faded and of .blue eyes closed in the last sleep, memory of anthem and of •dirge, memory of gfreat pain and of slow convalescence, memory of times -when all things were against you, mem--ory of prosperities that came in like the full tide of the sea. memories of a lifetime. What e bundle! * ' I lift that bundle to-day and unloose -the cord that binds it, and for a moment you look in and see tears and smiles and laughter and groans and noondays and midnights of experience, rand then I tie again the bundle with heartstrings that have some time vibrated with joy and anon been thrummed by fingers of woe. ) Bundle of hopes and ambitions also Is almost every man and woman, es.pecialiy at the starting. What gains :he will harvest*! or what reputation he will achieve, or what bliss he will reach, •or what love he will win. What makes -college commencement day so entranc^ ing to all of us as we see the students receive their diplomas and take up the garlands thrown to their feet. TbeyV -will be Faradays in science; they will be Tennysons in poesy; they will be 'Willard Parkers in surgery; they will be Alexander Hamiltons in national ''waa.nce; thev will be Horace Greelevs

in editorial ch ir; they will be Websters in the s« tate. Or she will be a Mary Lyon in iucational realms, or a Frances Willai 1 on reformatory platform, or a Hel« i Gould in military hospitals. Or she dU make borne life ra* diant with hel fulness and self-sacri-fice and magni cent womanhood. Oh, what a bundle (f garlands and scepters from which I * ould not take one sprig of mignonette or extinguish one spark of brilliance. ’ hey who start life without bright ho ps and inspiring ambitions might as well not start at all, for every step wi be a failure. Rather woufcTI add to he bundle, and if 1 open it now it Will t ot be because I wish to take anything rom it. but that 1 may put into it«mor coronetsand hosannas. Bundle of ft ,ulties in every man and every woman! Power to think—to think of the ] ist and through all the future, to thi: k upward and higher than the higt st pinnacle of Heaven, or to think do -nward until there is no lower abysm o fathom. Power to think wrong, lower to think forever, for, once ha'vi g begun to think, there shall be no te ; minus for that exercise, and eternity i self shall have no power to bid it halt. Faculties to love—filial love, conjtigal love, paternal love,.ma

lermu love, io\ 01 country, love oi uod. Faculty of ji Igment. with scales so delicate and ; ;t so mighty they can weigh nrguir nts, weigh emotions, weigh words, veigh Heaven and hell. Faculty of wi . that can climb mountains or tunn 1 them, wade seas or bridge them, tccepting eternal enthronement i • choosing everlasting exile. Oh. wh t if is to be a man! Oh, what it is to bi a woman! Sublimeand infinite bund s of faculties! The thought of it ; aggers me, swamps me, stuns ipe, be ilders me, overwhelms me. Oh, what a bundle of life Abigajl of my text sav in David, and which we ought to sec i every human, yet immortal, being! Know, also, hat this bundle of life was put up wi h great care. Any merchant and aln >st any faithful householder will tel you how much depends on the way a bundle is bound. The ccrd, or rope, nust be strong enough to hold, the 1 lot must be well tied. You know not ,vhat rough hands may toss the bundle If not properly put together, though t may leave your hands in good* order ; ind symmetrical, before it reaches its p iper destination it may be loosened in •agments fpr ithe winds to scatter or th rail train to lose. Now. 1 have 1 tell you that this bundle of life is veil put together—the body, the mind the soul. Who but the omnipotent Got could bind such a bundle? Anatomis s. physiologists, physicists, logicians, uetaphysicians, declare that we are fe: fully and wonderfully made. That w are a bundle well put together I prov- by the amount of jour-* neying we can t idure without damage, by the amount of rough handling we can survivjp, by the fact that the vast majority of us o through life without the loss of an e e, or the crippling of a limb, or the de: ruction of a single energy of body or acuity of mind, i subpoena for this t al that man in yonder view, 70 or 80 ye rs of age, and ask him to testify that : “ter all the storms and accidents and vi issitudes of a long life he still keeps tis five senses, and, though all the 1; glithouscs as old as he is have be^n reconstructed or new lanterns put in. he has in under his forehead the same tv o lanterns with which God started him and. though the locomotives of 00 yt irs ago were long ago* sold for old iro i. he has the original powers of locoin tion in tlie limbs with which God startt ] him, and, though all the electric wire that carried messages 25 years ago hav? been torn down, his, nerves bring mev ;ages from all parts of his body .as we! as when God strung them 73 years ag Was there ever such U complete bund e put together as the human being? V hat a factory! What an engine! Wh: a mill race! What a lighthouse! Wh t a locomotive! What an electric batte y! What a furnace! What a masterp ece of the Lord God Almighty! Or, o employ the anticlimax and use the gure of the text, what a bundle! t Know also tha this bundle of life is j properly directcc Many a bundle has missed its way an l disappeared because the address has dropped, and no one can find by exar ination for what city or town or neig borhood it was intended. All gre: t carrying companies have so many i lisdirected packages that they appoin days of vendue to dispose of them. .11 intelligent people know* the impor mce of having a val-'* uable package p ainly directed, the name of the on to whom it is to go plainly written. Baggage master and expressman oug t to know at the first glance to whom o take it. This bundle of ife that Abigail, in my text, speaks of is ilainly addressed. By Divine penmans ip it is directed Heavenward.* Howei ;r long may be the earthly distance it travel, its destination is the eterr il city of God on high. Every mile that , goes away from that direction is by s< ne human orinfernal fraud practiced igainst it. There are those who put it on some other track, who misplace it i some wrong convej*ance, who send i off or send it back by some diabolical n iscarriage. The value of that bundle i so well known all up and down the u iverse that there are a million disho est hands which are trying to detain ir divert it, or to forever stop its pr jress in the right direction.

Every human eing is assailed at the start. Within at hour of the time trhen this bundle of 1 e is made up the assault begins. Fi st of all, there are the infantile disord< -s that threaten the body just launcl *d upon earthly existi ence. Scarlet ft -ers and pneumonias, j and diphtherias : nd influenzas, and the whole pack of e; ideraics surround the cradle and threi en its occupant, and infant Moses in Ihe ark of bulrushes was not more ii periled by the monsters of the Nil than every cradieja imperiled by ai nents all devouring. In after years th re are foes within and foes without. E il aDDetite joined by 1

outside.allurements. Temptations tnat have utterly destroyed more people than now inhabit the earth. Gambling saloons and rummeries, and places where dissoluteness reigns supreme, enough in number to go round and round “the earth. Discouragements, jealousies, revenges, malevolences, disappointments, swindles, arsons, conflagrations and cruelties which make continued existence of the human race a wonderment. Was any valuable bundle ever so imperiled as this bundle of life? Oh, look at the address and get that bundle going in the right way! “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and soul, and mind, and strength.” Heaven with its 12 gates standing wide open with invitation. All the forces of the Godhead pledged for our heavenly arrival if we will do the right thing. All angeldom ready for our advance and guidance. All the lightnings of Heaven so many drawn swords for our protection. What a pity, what an everlasting pity, if this bundle of life, so well bound and so plainly directed, does not come out at the right statiou, but becomes a lost bundle, cast out amid the rubbish of theuniverse!

Know also that this bundle of life will be gladlj' received when it comes to the door of the mansion for which it was bound aiwl plainly directed. With what alacrity and glee we await some package that has been foretold by letter; some holiday presentation; something that will enrich and ornament our home; some testimony of admiration and affection! With what glow of expectation we untie the knot and takeoff the cord that holds it together in safety, and with what glad exclamation we unroll the covering and see the gift or purchase in all its beauty of color and proportion. Well, what a day it will be when your precious bundle of life5 shall be opened in the house of “many mansions'’ amid saintly and angelic and Divine inspection! The bundle may be spotted with the marks of much exposure. It mfty bear inscription after inscription to tell through what ordeal it has passed. Perhaps splashed of wave and scorched of flame, but all it has within undamaged of the journey. And with what shouts of joy the bundle of life will be greeted by all the voices of the heavenly home circle! tn our anxiety at last to reach Heaven we are apt to lose sight of the glee or welcome that awaits us if we get in at all. We all have friends up there. They will somehow hear that we are coming. Such close and swift and constant communication is there between those uplands and Ahese lowlands that we will not surprise them by sudden arrival. If loved ones on earth expect our coming visit and are at the depot with carriage to meet i:s. surely we will be met at. the shining gate by old friends now sainted and kindred now glorified. If there were no angel of God to meet, us and show us the palaces and guide us to our everlasting residence, these kindred would show us the way and point out the splendors and guide ns to our celestial home, bowered and fountalned and arched and illumined by a sun that never sets. Will it- not be glorious, the going in and the settling down after all the moving about and upsettings of earthly experience? We will soon know all our neighbors, kingly, queenly, prophetic, apostolic. seraphic, archangelic. Thejprecious bundle of life opened amid palaces and grand marches and acclamations. They will all be so glad we have gotsafely through. They saw us down,here in the struggle. They saw us when wte lost our way. They knew when we got off the right course. None of the 32 ships that were overdue at New York harbor in the storm of week before last-was greeted so heartily hy friends on the dock or the steam tugs that went out to meet them at Sandy Hook as we will be greeted in the heavenly world if by the pardoning and protecting grace of God we come to celestial wharfage. We shall have to tell them of.the many wrecks that we have passed on the way across wild seas and amid Caribbean cyclones. It will be like our arrival some years ago from New Zealand at Sydney, people surprised that we got in at all, because we were two days late, and some of the ships expected had gone to the bottom, and we had passed derelicts and abandoned crafts all up and down that awful channel—our arrival in Heaven all the more rapturously welcomed because of the doubt as to whether we would ever get there at all. Once there it will be found that the safety of that precious bundle of life was assured because it was bound tip with the life of Hod in Jesus Christ. Heaven could not afford to have that bundle lost, because it had been said in regard to its transportation and safe arrival: “Kept by the power of God through faith unto complete salvation.” The veracity of the heavens is involved in its arrival. If God should fail to keep His proruise to just one ransomed soul the pillars of Jehovah’s throne would fall, and the foundations of the eternal citjr would crumble, and infinite poverties would dash down all the chalices and close all the banqueting halls, and the river of life would change its course, sweeping everything with desolation, and frost would blast all the gardens, and immeasurable sickness slay the immortals, and the new Jerusalem become an abandoned city.with no chariot wheel on the streets and no worshipers in the'temple—a dead Pompeii of the skies, a bbried Herculaneum of the heavens. Lest anyone should doubt, the GoJ who cannot lie smites His omnipotent hand on the side of His throne and takes affidavit, declaring: “As I live, said the Lord God, I have no pleasure in 'the death of him that dieth.” Oh, I cannot tell you how I feel about it, the thought is so glorious! Bound up with God. Bound up with infinite mercy. Bound up, with infinite joy. Bound upjyith infinite purity. Bouts up with infinite might- That thought is more beeutiful and glorious than was the heroic Abigail, who at the foot of the crags nttereo it: “Round in tte bundle of life with the Lord -by uotir’

AN ADVERTISING GENIUS. H«n L. Kramer Iamte a Thoaaaa# Dollar* Every Day far Kewwpa»er Adverllilag. The young man whose portrait is her* printed is a living, breathing illustration of the success which can be obtained by practical faith and persistent and judicious investment in newspaper advertising. Mr. Kramer only a few years ago, without capital, started in a most modest way, advertising in newspapers the merit of a tobacco-habit cure, building up an enormous mail order business for that successful specific. His original line, “Don’t tobacco j spk an<y smoke your life away,” thr^igtr" the medium of newspapers, became known throughout the English-speaking world, and brought in unprecedented results. The secret of his advertising method is “reinvestment.” When Mr. Kramer ran his first little advertisement ten year* ago his capital was less than one hundred dollars. He wrote the order on a rented typewriter operated by himself

H. L. KRAMER. i and his advertising' appropriation was i five dollar^. 1 Three years ago he originated the now familiar Casearets that : “work while yon sleep/’ and this year he employs over £00 people, including : twenty stenographers and typewriters and a system of ten graphophones. His I newspaper advertising investments ' are over $300,000 a year., and he is j counted as one of the greatest ; practical, because successful, authorities on1 the science of advertising i in the world. His delight is to sep the working of the enormous advertising machine which he set in motion a few f ears ago. and his ambition is best illustrated by an expression made use of to a friend recently. lie said: “My boy. we’ll get rich when we make money faster than we can spend it for advertising.” Besides his proprietary enterprises, Mr. Kramer scored another great business success in the Magno-Mud baths of Indiana Mineral Springs. Ind.. where treatment for rheumatism is obtained. The place was a mere wilderness in the hills of Indiana a few years ago. but nature had provided the material, mud and liihia water, for the cure, and Mr. Kramer appreciated its possibilities at first sight. To-day there is at the Indiana Mineral Springs a $250,000 plant of hotels, bathhouses and cottages, elec-tric-lighted, steam-heated, with beautiful park surroundings. Mr. Kramer is only thirty-six years cld and his energy and vitality have not yet reached their climax. Many leading business men of America have been glad to join in his enterprises, displaying t he highest confidence in a great future which this man’s remarkable a^vertising genius and capacity for work will bring forth. His Denomination. At the close of services one Sunday morning the pastor of a city church went down the aisle, as was his custom. to greet the strangers in the congregation. “You are not a member oi our church,” he said to one of them. “No, sir,” replied the stranger. “Do you belong any denomination, may I ask?” ^ “Well,” responded the other, hesitatingly, “I’d5 what you might call a submerged Presbyterian.” “How is that?” “I was brought up a Presbyterian, my wife is a Methodist, my eldest daughter is a Baptist, my son is the organist*'at a . Universalis! church, my second daughter sings in an Episcopal choir, and my youngest goes to a Congregational Sunday school.” “But you contribute, doubtless, to some one church?” “Yes, I contribute to all of them. That is partly what submerges me.”— Youth’s Companion. Mta’« Expenditures In a Lifetime. A resident- of Kent, Md., who has kept careful account of his expenditures, calculates that during the 84 years of his life he has consumed 28,560 loaves of bread, at 3 cents per pound, value, $856.80 ; 26J380 pounds of meat, at S cents, $1,340; 7,728 pounds of vegetables, eggs, fish, etc., at 2 cents, $154.56; and 11,760 gallons of water, tea, coffee, beer, wine, etc., at an average cost of 1 cent per gallon, $117.60; total, $2,468.96. He also figures that of the 30,660 day# of his lifi 10,080 have been spent in sleep, 10,920 in work and 9,760 in eating and pleasure seeking.—Chicago Chronicle
