IN ETERNAL GLOOM. Dr. Talmvge Pictures the Earth Without the Gospel. Mlrlily Portray* the Gloom ot am la> ldel World-Triumph of Atheism Would Mtu Death of ClTtllsatloa. Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.J [Washington, May 14In this sermon Dr. Talmage gives a s 'llmpse of what the world would be if 'i;he Gospel were abolished and the hui nail race left without Divine guidance. ".Che text is Acts 2:20: “The sun shall turned into darkness.” Christianity is the rising sun of our hue, and men have tried with the up- ! idling vapors of skepticism and the yoke of their blasphemy to turn the H un inter darkness. Suppose the arch* -i aigels of malice and horror should be ] h t loose a little while and be allowed to •i uttinguish and destroy the sun in the . : mtural heavens! They would take the •oceans from other worlds and pour .hem on the luminary of the planetary *i; stem, and the waters go hissing down . , aid the ravines and the caverns, and ■ here is explosion after explosion, until i here are only a few peaks of fire left i it the sun, and these are cooling down uiad going out until the vast continents -e:! flame are reduced to a small acreage *i it? fire, and that whitens and cools off a .til there are only a few coals left, a: nd these are whitening and going out v. util there is not a speck left in all the a m ountains of ashes and the valleys of a uhes and the chasms of ashes. An exi inguished sun! A dead sun! A buried « un! Let all worlds wail at the stupen

■iJious obsequies. Of course this withdrawal of the solar I rht and heat throws our earth into a ,i universal chill, and the tropics become ihe temperate, and the temperate ba- «< limes the arctic, and there are frozen livers and frozen lakes and frozen i neeans. From arctic and antarctic rations the inhabitants gather in toward ~ lie center and find the equator as the »oles. The slain forests are piled up ii nto a great bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and cities. ’The wealth of the coal mines is hastily loured into the furnaces and stirred :ito rage of combustion, but soon the jonfires, begin to lower, and the furnaces begin to go out, and the nations : egin to die. Cotopaxi, Vesuvius, Etna, •tromboli, California geysers, cease to * :aoke, and the ice of hailstorms regains unmelted in their crater. All file flowers have breathed their last breath. Ships with sailors frozen at :he mast, and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and passengers frozen in the cabin, all nations dying, first at the north and then at the south. Child f rosted and dead in the cradle. Octogenarian frosted and dead at the j earth. Workmen with frozen hand on ;he hammer and frozen foot on the shuttle. Winter from sea to sea. All congealing winter. Perpetual winter. Ofiobe of frigidity. Hemisphere shackled to hemisphere by chains of ice. Universal Nova Zembla. The earth an ice floe grinding against other ice floes. The arehangels of malice and horror have done their work, and now ^hey may take their thrones of glacier and look down upon the ruin they have wrought. What the destruction of the sun in the natural heavens would be •to our physical earth, the destruction of Christianity would be to the moral world. The sun turned into darkness! Infidelity in our time is considered a great joke. There are people who re? Joice to hear Christianity caricatured and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage and harlequinade. I propose to-day to take infidelity and atheism •out of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy and show you what infidels propose and what if they are successful they will accomplish. There are those n our communities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown and who say the world would be better 'jvithout it. I want to show you what is the end of this road and what is the terminus of this crusade and what this world 'will be when atheism and infidelity have triumphed over it, if they can. I say, if they can. I reiterate it, if they can.

In the first place, it will be the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove it by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the 'Christian religion has been dominant woman’s condition has been ameliorated and improved, and 6he is deferred :o and honored in a thousand things, and every gentleman takes off his hat before her. If your associations have been good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggests gracious surroundings. You know there »re no better schools > and seminaries in this country than the schools and seminaries for our young ladies. You know that while jwoman may suffer injustice in England and the United States she has more of her rights in Christendom than she has anywhere else. ' \ Now, compare this with woman's condition jn lands where Christianity has made little or no advance—in China, 'in Barbary, in Borneo, in Tart ary, in Egypt, in Hindustan. The Burmese sell their wives and daughters as so many sheep. The Hindoo Bible makes it disgraceful and an outrage for a woman to listen to music or look out of the window in the absence of her husband and gives as a lawful ground for divorce a woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished his meal. What mean those white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide following infanticide. Female children destroyed simply because they are female. Woman harnessed to ’Jhe plow as an ox. Woman veiled and barricaded and in all styles of cruel atelusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her Sire, . ..n t .

life a torture. Her di uth a horror. The missionary of the cross to-day in heathen lands preaches generally to two groups—& group of men who do as they please and sit where they please; the other group, women hidden and carefully secluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher, but may no t be seen. No refinement. No liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for tbe life to come. Ringed nose. Crampe d foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soil. Now, compare those two conditions. How, far toward this latter condition that I speak of would a woman go if Christian influences were withdrawn ahd Christianity were destroyed? It Is only a question of dynamics. If an abject be lifted to a certain point and not fastened there and the lifting power be. withdrawn, how long before tbit object will fall down to the point from which it started? It will fall down, and it will go still farther than the point from which it started. Christian ity has lifted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skiffs. If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Chris tian religion—and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scale is Christianity— I have head that there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard: to those persons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations.

U infidelity triumph and Christianity be overthrown, it mesi ns the demoralization of society. The one idea in the Bible that atheists and infidels most hate is the idea of retribution. Take away the idea of retribution and punishment from society, and it will begin very soon to disintegrate, and take away from the minds of men the fear of hell, and there are a gTeat many 0%. them who would very soon turn this world into a hell. The majority of those who are indignant because of the idea of punishment are men whose lives are bad or whose hearts are impure and who hate the Bible because of the idea of future punishment for the same reason that criminals hate the penitentiary. Oh, I have heard this brave talk about people fearing nothing of the consequences of sin in the next world, and I have made up my mind it is merely a coward’s whistling to keep his courage up. 1 have seen men flaunt their immoralities in the face of the community, and I have heard nhem defy the judgment day and scoif at the idea of any future consequence of their sin, but when they came to die they shrieked until you could hear them for nearly two blocks, and in the summer night the neighbors got up to put the windows down because they could not endure the horror. I I would not want, to see a rail train with 500 Christian ipeople on board go jdown through a drawbridge into a watery grave; I wculd not want to see 500 Christian people go into such disaster, but I tell you plainly that I could more easily see that than I could for any protracted time stand and see an infidel die, though his pillow were of eider down and under a cantopy of Vermillion. I have never been able to brace up my nerrra for such a spectacle. There is something at such a time so indescribable in the cQuntenance. I just looked in upon it a minute or two, but the clutch of his fist was so diabolic and the strength of his voice was so unnatural I could not endure it. “There is no hell, there is no hell, there is no hell!” the man had said for 60 years, but that night when I looked in the dying room of my infidel neighbor there was'something on his countenance which seemed to say: “There is, there is, there ns, there is!” The mightiest restraints to-day against theft, against immorality, against libertinism, against crime of all sorts— the mightiest restraints are the retributions of eternity. Men know that they can escape the law, but down in the offenders’ soul there is the realization of the fact that they cannot escape God. He stands at; the end of the road of profigacy, and He will not clear the guilty. Take all idea of retribution and punishment out j of the hearts • and minds of men, and it would not be long before our cities would become Sodoms. The only restraints against the evil passions of the world to-day are Bible restraints.

Suppose now these generals of atheism and infidelity got the victory, and suppose they mars haled a great army made up of the majority of the world. They are in companies, in regiments, in brigades—the whole army. Forward, march, ye hosts of infidels and atheists, banners? flying before, bankers flying behind, twinners inscribed with the words: “No God! No Christ! No Punishment! No Restraints! Down with the Bible! .Do as You Please!” The sun turned Into darkness! Forward, march, ye great army of infidels and atheists! And first of all you will attack the churches. Away with those houses of worship. They have been standing there so long deluding the people with consolation in their bereavements and sorrows. ‘‘All those churches ought to be extirpated, they have done so much to relieve the lost and bring home the wandering, and they have so long held up the idea of eternal rest after the paroxysm of this life is over. Turn the St. Peters and St. Pauls and the temples and tabernacles into clubhouses. Away with those chuches! Forward, mai'ch, ye great army of infidels and athei sts, and next of all they scatter the Sabbath schools filled with bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked little ones who are singing songs on Sunday afternoon and getting instruction when they ought to be tn the street corners playing marbles or swearing on the commons. Away yith them! Forward, march, ye great army of infidels and atheists, and next of all they will at

tack Christian asylums, the lnsutntions supported by Christian piulanthropies. .Never mind the blind ayes and the deaf ears and the crippled limbs anil the darkened intellects. Let paralyzed old age pick up its own fopd and orphans fight their own way and the half reformed go back to their ep! habits. Forward, march, ye great army of infidels and atheists, and with your battleaxes hew down the cross and split up the manger of Bethlehem. On, ye great army of infidels and atheists, and now they come to the graveyards and the cemeteries of the earth. Pull djpwn the sculpture above Greenwood’s gate, for it means the Resurrection. Tear away at the entrance of Laurel Hill the figure of Old Mortality and the chisel. On, ye great army of infidels and atheists, into the graveyards and cemeteries, and where you. sefe “Asleep in Jesus” cut it away, and where you find a marble story of Heaven blast jit, and where you find over a little child’s grave “Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me” substitute the words “delusion” and “sham,” and where you find an angel in marble strike off the wings, and when you come to a family vault chisel on the door: “Dead once, dead forever.” But on, ye great army of infidels and atheists, on! They will attempt to ecale Heaven. There are heights to be taken. Pile hill on hill and Pelion upon Ossa, and then they hoist the ladders against the walls of Heaven. On and on until they blow up the foundations of jasper and the gates of pearl. They charge up the steep. Now they aim for the throne of Him who liveth forever and ever. They would take down from their high place the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. “Down with them!” they

say, “Down with them from the throne!” they say. “Down forever! Down out of sight! He is not God. He has no right to sit there. Down with Him! Down with Christ!” A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Patricide, regicide, deicide. That is what they mean. That is what they will have if they can. 1 say, if they can. Civilization hurled back into semibarbarism and semibarbarism driven back into Hottentot savagely. The wheel of progress turned, the other way and turned toward the dark ages; The elock of the centuries put back 2,000 years. Go back, you Sandwich islands, from your schools and from your colleges and from your reformed condition to what you were in 1820, when the missionaries first came. Cali home the 500 missionaries from India and overthrow their 2,000 schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen,' and scatter the 140,000 little children that they have gathered out of barbarism into civilization. Obliterate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of Da rid Abed in China, of Dr. King in Greece, of Judson in Burma, of David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the 3,000 missionaries of the cross who are toiling in foreign lands, toiling for Christ’s sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these 3,000 men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society. Go home, American board of foreign missions. Go home, ye Moravians and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which Infidelity and atheism have planned; We were shocked a few years ago because of the attempt to blow up the parliament houses in London, but if infidelity and atheism succeed in their attempt they will dynamite a world. Let them have their full way, and this world will be a habitation of three rooms—a habitation with just three rooms, the one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pendemonium. These infidel bands of music have only just begun their concert—yea, they have qnlv been stringing up their instruments. 1 to-day put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In the theater the tragedy comes first and the ffcree afterward, but in this infidel drama of death the farce comes first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former atheists and infidels laugh and mock,

but in the latter God himself will laugh and mock. He says so. “1 will laugh at their calamity and mock when their fear cometh.” At the beginning God said: “Let there be light,*’ and light was, and light is, and light shall be. So Christianity is rolling oh, and it is going to warm all nations^ and all nations are to bask in its light. Men may shut the window blinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe of speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing, but the Lord God is the sun! This white light of the Gospel made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and Heaven—violet plucked from amid the spring grass, and the indigo oi* the southern jungles, and the blue of the skies, and the green of the foliage, and the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and Heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for. God. The United States are going to take Aperies for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. “Who art thou, O, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain."* 'The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.*’ Halleluiah, amen! He Wu a Real Boy.

CONVENIENT CRATE. Often is it desirable on the farm to more swine, sheep, calves and the like from one building, pen or pasture inclosure to another, but just how to do it always is a problem, for neither a calf, sheep nor pip likes/ as a rule, to be led or driv*m. Albeit they are usually willing enough to go in company with others, they decidedly object to going alone, and if “forced” it generally takes a lot of energy to convey them even a little ways. Happily, however, all this trouble can easily be averted, and the feelings

CRATE FOR MOVING STOCK. of the young animal not imposed upon In the least. Simply go to work and make a crate on wheels, such as is shown herewith in the illustration, and into this any calf, pig, sheep or the like can be driTen, the door closed, and “His majesty” wheeled away in triumph. Indeed, if any calves happen to be dropped by their dams in the pasture nothing devisable is more convenient for bringing them into the barn. It is also exceedingly useful for conveying fat sheep and veal calves to that place where it is customary on the farm to “dress” them for market. The fact is, the worth of this simple affair cannot be estimated as a labor-saving device until one has used it awhile, and as its cost of construction in the comparative sense is very small, no farmer ought to be without it.—Frederick Q Sibley, in N. Y. Tribune. GIANT AMONG HOGS. It Measure Oxer Nine Feet from tk« Tip of Its Kose to the Tall mud Welshed 1,609 Pounds.

The largest hog ever raised vras recently slaughtered in New York. The animal was a Jersey red boar, two and one-half years old, weighing alive 1,609 pounds and dressing 1,336 pounds. The National Provisioner has the following to sgy of the prodigy: “This huge swine measured over nine feet from tip of its nose to end of its tail. It measures two and one-half feet across the loin, two and one-half feet across the ham and six feet in girth. This make a the hog three feet through. It is spli.it at the shoulder, and to look'into the great ciircass is like looking into the crevice of a cavern. The carcass spreadh across the perspective of the store like a Titanic statue of pork personified. It also looks like the body of the great ho,f god embalmed and reposing in its gi - gantic majesty. From hip bone to toe: it measures three and one-half feet an ill about the same from the crest of the: shoulder blade to the bottom of the foot. The great fat jowls extend nearly two feet across. From between the ears to the tail is over seven feet. The ta il itself is the smallest thing in the bi g proportions. It is a mere point in the air. The face of the hog is also sms 1.1 for the size of the animal. It is only 16 inches long. The hams are monsters in size, and the vast stretch of pork in the long waist is borne just above the ground by four comparatively small feet. The usual porker is a mere pigmy by its side. The biggest hog heretofore grown weighed 1,230 pounds dead weight.”

FeedlBK Too Mdck Grain. Cows differ much in their ability to make profitable use of the grain fad them. Those which have the beef tendency strongly developed will at once begin to fatten on grain, unless it is fed in such moderate amount and combined with a large amount of succulent food. Those who have ensilage or roots, especially beet or mangel w urtzel, can feed more grain to cows and have the fat go to the milk pail than those who only have dry feed. It is not safe to feed a farrow cow much grain, nor yet one that is near the time to drop her calf, as it will then stimulate the miiy glands too much and probably cause garget. Yet it is an advantage to a cow to be in pretty good flesh when she drops her calf. The inside fat she then carries will be mostly used up in enriching the milk the following Bummer. , Keen tke Manners Clean. Much dust and soiled food is apt to accumulate in the horse's manger, and as he is all the time breathing over it, the manger quickly becomes so offensive that much food is wasted. Much of this feed will, however, be eaten by cattle, as they will eat freely after horses. Even the horse excrement is not so offensive to them as to prevent them from picking out bits of hay mixed with it. But the horse has a more delicate taste than any other farm animal except a sheep. When cows pick over the piles of horse manure for the hay they are probably in need of salt, and are attracted by the saline taste of horse urine.—Farmers’ Review. - Never let the weeds get control of the potato field. It means hard work with the next crop, to say nothing about the detriment to the present one*
