SUNSHINE OF RELIGION.

Dr. Talmage Continues His Sermons on the Lessons of Nature. There is Sniwhine In the Soul Which Can Be Wit, Humor and Enduring Vivacity. ■ Dr. Talmage preached at Brooklyn Tabernacle last Sunday. Subject: “The Sunshine of Religion.’’ Text — Proverbs iii, 17. He said: You have all heard of God’s only begotten Son. Have you heard of God’s daughter? She was born in heaven. She came down over the hills of our world. She had queenly step. On her brow was celestial radiance. Her voice was music. Her name is Religion. . My text introduces her. “Tier ways are ways of pieasafitnessr and all her paths are peace." But what is religion? The fact is that theological study has had a different effect upon me from the effect sometimes produced. Every year I tear out another leaf from my theology until I have only three or four leaves left —in other words, a very brief and plain statement of Christian belief. ' ''. An aged Christian minister said: “When I was a young man I knew everything; when I got to be thirtyfive years of age in my ministry I had only a hundred doctrines of religion; when I got to be forty years years of age I had only fifty doctrines of religion;, when I got to be sixty years of age I had only ten doctrines of religion', and now I am dying at seventy-five years of age, and there is Only one thing I know, and that is that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” And so I have noticed in the study of God’s word, and in my contemplation of the character of God and of the eternal world, that it is necessary for me to drop this part of my belief and that part of my belief as being nonessential, while I cling to the one great doctrine that man is a sinner and Christ is his Almighty and Divine Saviour. Now I take these three or four leaves of my theology and I find that, in the first place and dominant above all others, is the sunshine of religion. When I go into a room I have a passion for throwing open all the shutters. That is what I want to do this morning. We are apt to throw so much of the sepulchral into our religion, and to close the shutters, and to pull down the blinds, that it is only through here and there a crevice that the light streams. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is a religion; of joy indescribable and unutterable. Wherever I can find a bell I mean to ring it. . If there are any in this house this morning who are disposed to hold on to their melancholy and-gloom, let them now depart this service before the fairest and the brightest and the most radiant being of all the universe comes In. God’s Son has left our world, but God's daughter is here. Give her room! Hail! Princess of Heaven. Hail! daughter of the Lord God Almighty. Come in and make this house thy throne room. In setting forth this idea the dominant theory of religion is one of sunshinc r J hardly know where, to begin for there arc so many thoughts that rush upon my-soul. A mother saw her little child seated on the floor in the sunshine and with a spoon in her hand. She said, “My darling, what are you doing there?” “Oh,’ replied the child, "Im getting a spoonful of sunshine.” Would God that to-day I might present you with a gleaming chalice of this glorious, everlasting gospel sunshine. First of all, I find a great deal of sunshine in Christian society.

I do not know of anything more doleful than the companionship of the mere fun makers of the world—the Thomas Hoods, the Charles Lambs, the Charles Matthews of the world —the men whose entire business it is to make sport. They make others laugh, but if you will examine their autobiography, or biography, y<su will find that down in their soul there was a terrific disquietude. Laughter is no sign of happiness. The maniac laughs. The hyena laughs. The loon among the Adirondacks laughs. The drunkard dashing his decanter against the wall la’ughs. There is a terrible reaction from all sinful amusement and sinful merriment. Such men are cross the next day. They snap at you on exchange, or they pass you, not recognizing you. Izuig ago I quit mere worldly society for the reason it was so dull, so insane and so stupid. My nature is voracious of joy. I must have it. I always walk on the sunny side of the street, and for that reason I have crossed over into Christian society. I like their mode of repartee better. I like their style of amusement better. They live longer. Christian people, I sometimes notice, live on when by all natural law they ought to have died. I have known persons who have continued in their existence when the doctor said they ought to have been dead ten years. Every day of their existence was a defium-.' of the laws of anatomy and physiology, but they had this supernatural vivacity of the Gospel in their sou!, and that kept them alive. I khow there is a groat deal of talk about the self denials of the Christian. I have to tell you that where the Christian has one self denial the man of the world has a ’

thousand self denials. The Christian ' is not commanded to surrender anything that is worth keeping; But wha¥ does a man deny himselfwho denies himself the religion of Christ. He denies himself pardon for sin; he denies himself the joy of the’Holy Ghost; he denies himself peace of conscience; he denies himself a comfortable death pillow; he denies himself the glories of heaven. Do net talk to me about the self denials of the Christian life! Where there is one in the Christian life there are a thousand in the life of the world. Again, I find a great deal of religious sunshine in Christian and divine explanation. To a great many people life is an inexplicable tangle. Things turn out differently from what was supposed. There is a useless woman in perfect health. There is an industrious and consecrated woman a complete invalid. Explain that. There is a bad man with $30,000 of income. There is a good man with SBOO of income. Why is that? There is a foe of society who lives on doing all the damage he can, to of and - here is a Christian father, faithful in every department of life, at thirtyfive years of age taken away by death, his family left helpless. Explain that. Oh, there is no sentence that oftener drops from your lips than this: “I cannot understand it.” Well, now, religion comes in just at that point with its illumination and explanation. There is a business man who has lost his entire fortune. The week before he lost his fortune there were twenty carriages that stopped at the door of the mansion; the week after he lost his fortune all the carriages you could count on one finger. The week before financial trouble began people all took off their hats to him as he passed down the street. The week his financial prospects were under discussion the people just touched their hats without anywise bending the rim. The week that he was pronounced insolvent people just jolted their heads as they passed, not tipping their hats and the week the sheriff sold him out all his friends were looking in the store windows as they went down past him. Now while the world goes away from a man when he is in financial distress the religion of Christ comes to him and says: “You are sick, and your sickness is to be moral purification. You are bereaved. G.od wanted in some way to send your family to heaven, and he must begin somewhere, and so he took the one that was most beautiful and was most ready to go. ” Ido not' say that religion explains everything in this life, but I do say if lavs’ down certain principles which are grandly consolatory. The providences of life sometimes seem to be a senseless rigmarole, a mysterious cipher, but God hasakey to that cipher, and the Christian a key to that cipher, and though he may hardly be able to spell out the meaning he gets enough of the meaning to understand that it is for the best. Now is there not sunshine in that? Is there not pleasure in that? Far beyond laughter, it is nearer the fountain of tears than boisterous demonstration. Have you neVer cried for joy? There are.tears which are eternal rapture in distillation. There arc hundreds of people in this bouse who are walking" day by day in the sublime satisfaction that all is for the best, all things working together for good for their soul: How a man can get along through this life without the explanation is a jnystery to me. What! is that child gone forever? Are you never to get it back? Is your property gone forever? Is your soul to be bruised and to be t ried forever? Have you no explanation, no Christian explanation, and yet not a maniac? But when you have the religion of Jesus in your soul it explains everything so far as it is best for you to understand. You look off in life,and your soul is full of thanksgiving to God that you are so much better off than you might be. Oh, the sunshine, the sunshine of Christian explanation! Here is some one bending over the grave of the dead. What is going to be the. consolation? The flowers you strew upon the tombs?- Oh, no. The services read at the grave? Oh, no. The chief consolation on that grave is what falls from the throne of God. Sunshine glorious sunshine. Resurrection sunshine. Oh, my friends, your departed loved ones are only away for their health in a better climate, and when you meet them they will be so changed you will hardly know them; they will be so very much changed, and after awhile, when you are assured that they are your friends, your departed friends, you will say: “Why, where is that cough? Where is that paralysis? Where is that pneumonia? Where is that consumption?” And he will say: “Oh, I am entirely well; there is no sick ones in this country. I have been: ranging these hills, and hence this elasticity. I have been here now twenty years, and not one sick one have I seen —we are all well in this climate.’’ ! Oh, unglove your hand and give it to me in congratulation on that scene. I feel as if I would shout. I will shout hallelujah! Dear Lord, furgive me that I ever complaiaed about anything. If all this is before us, who cares for anything but God and heaven and eternal brotherhood? Take the crape off the doorbell. Your loved ones are only away for their health in a land ambrosial. Come, Lowell Mason; come Isaac Watts, and give us your best hymn about joy celestial. * •

Suddenly two masked men appeared 'at the from door. Leveling revolvers the robbers compelled them to hold up their hands and to stand side by side. One robber covered both, while tho other robbed the cash drawer and had gone into the vault, when T. O’Neill, a merchant, entered to make a deposit. The robber who was guarding Duvall and Converse turned and fled. The robber in the vault followed suit. In the meantime O’Neill had given the alarm. Business men near by hastily armed themselves. They arrived just in time to see the robbers mounting their horses in the alley at the rear of the bank. P. Ingleman at the head of three or four men, ran down the alley on foot. One of the robbers raised his revolver and fired. The bullet struck Ingleman over tho heart, producing instantdoath. Then a dozen shots were fired, but no one was hit.

What Is Cleveland’s Number.

Brooklyn Standard-Union. As Grover Cleveland is tho first ex-President who has been elected President, what will be his number as President when he resumes the office —the same as before, or will he go up a notch? In case he is advanced, where does that place Harrison? For illustration: George Washington was the first President of the United States; but when he served a second term he was not the second President, but still the first. John Adams was the second President. Suppose after Adams,Washington had served a third term, would ho have been the third President, or still the first? And if he had been succeeded by Jefferson, would Jefferson have been the tliird or fourth President? Several Presidents have secured two terms, and in several single terms there have boon two Presidents. Cleveland was the twentysecond President and Harrison the twenty-third. Now, is Cleveland to be the twenty-second President in his second term, the twenty-third President having served out his term? That is, when Mr. Cleveland’s tombstone is carved —and we trust there will be no occasion for that in many years—will the proper record be: Clerehmd, XXII or XXIV President of the United States?”

GERRYMANDER AGAIN.

A New Apportionment Made Imperative.by Supreme Court Rehearing’ Denied in the Henry County Case—Two Opinions Judge Mc~Ta.be Dissents. By the action of the Supreme Court in its decision Friday in which opinions are •’rendered by 1 Chief - Justice Coffey and judge Howard, the apportionment (gerrymander) case, Benjamin S. Parker vs. State ex rel. Simon T. Powell, is at an end. The petition for a rehearing, filed by Attorney-General Smith and Morgan Chandler, is rejected. It will be remembered that the Attorney-General was invited or ordered to appear on behalf of the people of the State, they having an interest in the matter, and that Senator Chandler was permitted to intervene, because as a Senator elected under the apportionment act of 1885 he had an interest in the litigation. The case was decided by the old Supreme Court, and the parties to the record waived the right to petition for a rehearing-within the sixty days allowed, 'and the opinion was then, during the life of the old court, certified to the lower court hs the final judgment in the case. It now becomes the duty of the Legislature to reapportion the State for legislaThe decision of th# Henry Circuit Court was that the present opportionment of Senatorial representatives i» in conflict with the Constitution and invalid. The Supreme Court decided that the act of 1891 was invalid by reason es unconstftutionailty, and that the act of 1879, under which the plaintiff asked relief in the ease, was also invalid for the same reason. These acts being 'invalid, and the last possible step in the courts having been taken, it remains for the Legislature to make a new apportionment.

A BUSINESS MAN'S ADMINISTRATION.

Mr. Cleveland Afinounces a Policy—Business Men Will Be Preferred In Appointments. #• S A Lakewood, N. J., dispatch of the 21th. has the following annoucement by Mr. Cleveland as to his policy: “The next Administration will be a business men’s Administration. By this I mean that business men are to have the preference in the appointments. Of course the business men will be Democrats. But in making appointments I shall consider the. business records of the applicants. That will have greater weight with me than the endorsements of political organizations. I shall appoint successful business men as heads of tho departments, and I shall expect this policy to be carrier! out in all departments of the Government. “This is the time when businees men are needed. The question before tho American people are- questions that can best be solved by business men. Reforms in the tariff, economy in the Government, will bo easily accomplished if plain, practical, honest business men are selected?’

When His Nerve Failed.

Detroit Free PressThe burglar was not a bad looking man, although his business had a bad look. He stood by the door of a sleeping room and peeked in. A faint light was burning and he could hear the measured breathing of some one asleep. Cautiously he crept inside, stooping low, and looked around. No one there save a sleeping woman. In an instant a cloth saturated with ether was thrown over her face, and he waited one, two, three —ton minutes, and the stertorous breathing of the sleeper told him the drug was doing its workA” With a dexterious hand he seized the jewelry and money lying on the dressing case, and began a quick search in the drawers of the case. “00-oo,” came a voice from the shadows of the room. Quick as a flash the burglar clasped his silent knife and turned to meet his victim. No one was visible. “00-oo,” camo the voice again, and the burglar saw a child in the crib by the Toot of the bed. It was a pretty baby, sleepily holding up its hands to him. He let his knife fall to his side, and stepping over to the crib, touched the child. It oooed again softly, and held up its arms for him to take it. The impulse was beyond his control, and ne lifted the baby to his bosom, and it nestled its soft, white cheek down to his and put its white arm around his neck. He purred to it, and in a moment its curly head was laid against his face, and it was asleep again. “Never seen a kid like that," he whispered to himself. “Most of um is afraid of strangers,” and tenderly he laid it in the crib. Then be went back to the dressing cose. He stood still a moment, and then looked furtively over his shoulder toward the crib. The sleeping face of the child was turned toward him. Slowly he replaced on the case all he had taken from it, hastily snatched from the woman's face the* saturated cloth, opened a window near the bed, and quietly slipped down stairs. Oro? on the street again he looked up at the bouse hungrily. 4 ‘Dang itiy he growled, “a man that ain’t got no more gizzard than I have ought to git out of the busiAnd he disappeared into the eiiado mb of the night.
