who here bend ail tfieir energies lb

Different stylee of i welcome at the
fete of Heaven .ero> here suggested.,
We *11 hope t<j,enter ^lxot supernal
cmnital through the irrura that is
ready to save eTeii the chief of sinners.
But not now. ^?o lnaIl brultlly
?f bod/ and mind wants, to go now.
The man who hurls himself out of
this Ilf? is either an agnostic or is
demented or finds life insufferable
ad does'not cui'e where he lands.
This la the best world we ever got
got Into, snd we want; to stay here j
as long as God will let us stay. But
when the last page of the volume of
ur earth,ljr lite U ended we want enrollment
in Heavenly citizenship. We
want to get in easily. We do not
want to "be challenged at the gate and
asked to show ouf passports. We do
not want ths gatekeeper in doubt as
to whether wa ought to go In at all.
We do not want to be kept- in. the
portico Of the temple until consultation
is made as to where we came
from'und whd we are and whether
It is safe to admit Vig, lest we be a
discord in the eternal harmonics cr
lower the spirit of Heavenly worship.
When the apostle Peter in the text
addresses the peoplt: 'T?or so an entrance
shall be administered unto
you abundnntly," lie implies thai
s<oins will find admission into Heaven
easy, , rapturous and acclamatory.
while others will have to squeeze !
through the gate of Heaven, if tliey '
got in at all. Thar will arrive anx- I
tous and excited and apprehensive and |
wondering whether it will be "Come!"
or "Go!" The Bible speaks of auoh
parsons as "scarcely saved," and in
another place as "'saved as by fire,"
and in another plaoe as escaped "by
the akin of the teeth."
Carrying out the suggestion of my
text, I propose to show you what
alassea of Christians will get into
Heaven with a h*rd push and those
who will bound fn amid salutations
Infinite. In the first class I put that
nan who gets into the kingdom of
God at the close of a life all given
to worldllness and sin. Years sgo he
made the resolution that he would
serve himself and serve the world until
body, mind and soul were exbuust
d and then . J??t before going out of |
thla life, would seek God and prepare
to enter Heaven. He carries out <
hie resolution. He genuinely repents
tba last day or the last hour or the
last minute of his life. He takes the
last seat in the last car of the last
train bound Heavenward. His released
and immortal spirit nsctiids
Not one wing- bears down toward him j
with' a welcome. No sign of gladness
at bia arrival. None there obligated |
?o htm for kindness aone or alms dis- !
tributcd or spiritual help administered
He will find some place to
?stay^ but I do not envy that man his
llii |_ >I In li'il it vrse not
an abundant entrance.
Sometimes in our pulpits we give i
a wrong turn to the story of the
dying thief to whom Christ said: (
"this day slialt thou be with me in
Paradise." We ought to admire the
mercy of Christ that pardoned him in
the last hour, but do not let us admire
the dying thief. When he was
arrested, I think his pocket* were full !
of stolen coin, and the coat he had
on hia back was not his own. He 1
etole right on until he was arrested
for bis crimes. He repented, and
through great mercy arose to Fara- j
dise, but he was no example to follow.
What a gigantic meanness to
devote the wondrous equipment of
brain and nerTe and muscle and bone
with which we are endowed, these
miraclea of sight and hearing and
speech, to purposes unworthy or pro"\^
^ fane, and then, through hasty repent~
1 acce at the last, enter Heaven!
^ Cheating God ali one's lifetime and
than taking advantage of n bankrupt
law and made free of all ^.abilities.
X should think that some men would
be ashamed to enter Heaven or would
prefer some medium place in the wide
universe where the palaces are not
so effulgent and the trees bear not
mors than six instead of twelve man- j
ner of fruits and the social life ia not
so sxalted.
Again, the bigot will not have what

He hae his bedwnrfed opinion as to
what all must believe and do in order
to grain celestial residence. He has his
creed In one pocket and his catechism
in another pocket, and it may be a
good creed and a g-ooa oatechisin, but
ha nses them as sharp eworde against >
thoaa Who will not accept his theories.
You must be baptized in his way or
some to him through apostolic bucccbaion
or b? foreordained of eternity, or
you are in an awful way. He shrivels
up and shrivels up and becomes mora
aplenetio until the tima of his departure
la at hand. He has enough of
the aalt of grace to save him, but his 1
entrance into Heaven will be aotne- 1
thing worth watching. What do they
want with him in Heaven, where they
have all gone into eternal catholicity, j
one grand commingling of Methodists '
end Baptists and Hpiscopalinns and
Lutherans and Congrcgationalists and
Presbytferians and a score of other denominations

.'I think I will have to enter on the

Again,' (he peniirfau* Christian will"
not have an abundant entrance. Perhaps
he was not converted until all his
habits of tight-fistedness were .fixed
beyond recovery. The people who are
genehous were taught fo be generous
in childhood. You can tell from the
war the boy divides the apple what his
characteristics for generosity or meanness
will bo for fhe next $0 years, if he
lives so long. If he eat i*t all himself
while others look wistfully on. he will
be a Shyiock; if he give half of it to
some one who has no apple, he wilt fie
an ordinarily generous man; if he give
three-fourths of it to another be will
be a Karon Hirachjor a tieorge Peabody.
For 30 yodrs thji^ man has been practicing
an economy which prided itself
on never passing a pin without picking
it .up. and if lie responded at al! in
church would pnv on the collection
plate so insignificant a coin that he
held his hand over it ?o tfcat no one
could discover the stnallnrss of the
denomination. Somewhere in the fifties
or sixties of his life, during a revival
of religion, he became a Christian.
He is very much changed in
most respeetk. but his all-nbsorbfng acquisitiveness
ijtiU influences hi in, To
extract from liim a gift for an orphanage
or a church or a poor woman who
has just been burned out is an achieve-,
meet. You and 1 know very good men,
their Christian character beyond dispute,
and yet they are pronounced by
all us penurious, and they know it
themselves and pray against it. VVe
all hare our bad habits, and yet expect
to get to Heaven, and this skinflint Las
his mighty temptation. The pnsaion
of avarice well illustrated its strength
when in one of the houses of exhumed
Pompeii was found the skeleton of a
man who was trying to escape with 60
coins and a silver saucepan. For those
valuables he dared the tubes and
scoria of Vesuvius which overwhelmed
him, and many a good man has been
held mightily by avarice.
Kut thaf bring* ine to the other
thought of my text, that there nre
those who will, when they leave thi*
life, bound into Heaven atnid salutations
infinite. "For to an entrance
'qe administered unto you abundantly."
Such exultant admission will
a'w>it> these who enter Heaven after
on earth living a life for others and
without reference to conspicuity. On
iuc i'?i (i i\a ui (uc uiuu c>r uir i usraioom
or tho Androscoggin is h large family,
all of whom have been carefully nnd
religiously reared. In the earlier
stages of that family there were rranj
privations. The mother of the household
never had any amusements. Perhaps
once in a year a poor theatrical
play was enacted in the neighboring
scljoolbouse or a aqua wking concert in
the town hall, and that wasallthedlyersion
afforded for the winter season.
I asked the manager of an insane asy-.'
lum In Kentucky: "From what class of
persons do you get most of your patients?"
and he said: "From fanners'
wItcs." I asked the same question of
the manager of an insane asylum in
Pennsylvania, and the same question
of the manager of an insane asylum in
Massachusetts, and got the same reply:
"We hare on our rolls for treatment
more farmers' wives than persons
coming from any other class." That
answer will be a surprise to seme; it
w as no surprise to me. The slmpie reason
is. farmers' wives as a general
thing have no diversion. It is breakfast,
dinner and supper, sowing, scouring,
scrubbing, knitting, mending,
jear in and year out. That mother is
the milliner, the mantua maker, the
nurse, the doctor, the accountant of
the whole family. She plans the wardrobe
of sprii g, of summer, of autumn,
of wiuter, cutting, fitting, completing
garments, out of which the .children
soon grow and mftst have something
else. The newspaper does not couie, or,
if coming, there is n* time to read it.
No selection of good books. The neighbors
calling in are full of the same
grinding routine. No wonder so many
of them go into dementia]
Now. the mother of whom 1 speak as
living on the banks of that river in
Ohio or Alabama or Main* has gone
through all he drudgery mentioned,
and her children have turned out well,
good and useful men and women, ornaments
of society, pillar* in the. house
of God, and that whole family, after
the years have passed by and their
work ia done, will meet in the Heavenly
country, i rom such a familj some
will certain'y have preceded her. and
the time of her expected arrival will be
announced to ell the members of that
family ulready glorified and to the old
earthly neighbors who put down their
toils a little sooner than she did, and
sh* will have the warmest kind of home
coming.
There is another kind of spirit who
will have radiant admission to tho
upper dominion. There ia s fact
which ought to have most eraphatlo

''Cotton FaoM," h?& oowe bobs re)>ro
l "d as a leading authority itnpDg ,
lottoU tneb. H's figures are aoouratq
>nd his deductions conservative. His
eview of .the last season and prospects
or 1900 1901 set forth that the last 1
irop (1899 1900) was 9,422,032 bales,
knd his estimate of the current crop
1900 1901) is 9,900,000 bales. He
lomments upon this as follows:
At the olose of the European ootton
eason on September 30, the stoeks of
lotton of all growths in European marcels
woro only 280,000 bales, being the
imellest recorded in 58 year*, with tho
zoeption of 1803, when, in conscauence
>f oar civil war, the European atooka
rare rodujcd to 250,000 bales. CodlumptioQ
howiver, was on a much
imallor scale then, and the atookB, on
Joptcmber 30, 1863, represented six
seeks' consumption of the mills; 1
vhercas tho stocks last September wore
lot enough for two weoks' consumption (
>f European spinners. Theoonsnmp
ion of American cotton last season by
\mericaa and foreign mils was about
11,000,000 bales. My friend, Mr.
Thomas hllison of Liverpool, oajls it l
10 900,000, being 566,000 more than
,ho estimate puolishcd by him at tho
)og oning of the season. In his circa-' ,
ar of Oatobor 20 bo ostimated a redu-c- <
ion this season in Am-rioao and Jap- I
inoBC cmsomptiop of ,37,8.000 bales (of., i
>00 pounds npt) and au iucroaso iq Etj op-^ao
consumption of 90,000 balfs
it 500 pouuds noi), and, with the'e^t
icctaiion of lat^cf suppli'os than last
mas ju from countries other than Amort '
3%. stated Lhat an Amcrioao crop of 10,
182,000 baits would ben quired in oc .
ier to keep the stock at tho end of . the
tcason from falling below the limitrd |
mpply at its commencement. Oa Doieu.b
r 18 Mr. Ellison cabled that he
thought au' American crop of 10,150,
JOO bales wouid meet the requirements
)f the spinners. This was due to the
jxpectation of larger receipts from In
Ji* than his estimate in Ootobcr of 800.
JU0 'bales, or 500,000 more than last
icason In this ooncotion it is, well to
rtmember that while 217,000 spindles
were added to the mills of India last
lesson, many of the mills were not constantly
at work. It is probable, in view
of tho batter crops and improved condition
of affairs that considerably more
:otton will bo spun in India than last
stasun. , The commercial crop of India
last season was 2.613,OOC bales against
an avcrago of 3,20(1,000 for the fonr
previous seasons, but tho aotnal yield
was probably not over 1,300,000 bales,
Lho 0alar.ee being cotton held over
from previous cr ps. It is thought
that little or no old cotton was lift in
lho interior of India last season, so that
the proseut commercial crop will not
r-xuoed tho growth of this season. The
luantity available for export to Kuropo
is therefore not likely to exoetd SOU,
JUO bales, and may not be as much.
The ia'gott shipment from India to
Kiropeof recent wca.-oas wtro SDD.OUU
bales in 181)6-97, but there are now 9lR),JUO
m >re spin lies in India than thou.
Abjut twothirds of the out on grown in
Inaia ia now coam ncd thtr *, an i it is
July the surp.us wnioh ia exported, i'ho
Kg,ptian orop is expaotea to bo leas
tnau last season by eh 3 equivalent of
?50.001) bales of 500 pmuds and the
quality is below the average. 1 hate
bioa informed that about 600,000 new
spiaolcs hare been started in B rtish
mills since October 1st. Of tbo addi
lional spindles started in the United
8t?tes last season quite a large nuTnbi r
wcro not in ep rauon until the latter
part of tho t>?.a,on. All of the new mills
uv<.rjwh?ro were ciee ei to be operated
10 their full capacity and the additions
to the mills wtro for the same purpose
With the settlement of the (Jhiucso
complications and a renewal of trade
with that country, I confident y look
for rush aouvaty in oottou manufacturing
tnat tne consumption of the world's
mills wiii aDoorb all of this season's
crops. In that event the stooks will bo
rcUuced to vtry small propoitins everywhere,
and tho coming summer may
witness 1 xceeuingly active and Specula
Live markets at lull ibices. It is must
liKtly ih.t tbero will ue a considerable
increase in tne oottou aoroago of ibis
country iuxt spring. Wmlo this faot
wou.d doubtless de'prtss, to some
dogrue, the pnej of "luturo deliveries"
tor the next orop it woa:d not relieve
the ma kot for sp jt eouoa. I fuil> agree
with Mr tilison that thero would not
be any plethora of ootlon even if tho
oiop should exceed lU,7&U,lKh) bales,
the distribution wourd be spread
over such a wide area that tbere would
bo no gieai accumulation of stooks anywhere.
A1 to the probable prioe that the to
ma.nder of tne current orop will 00m
maud, Mr. Stiepporaon makes no pre
dulion and throws out no bint unless
it is to uoioUad in tbo following senLouct:
-,i? is porfcotly evident that the pre
sent commercial orupcaanot wtll tXco? d
tuo yiela ot ibis i-ehsjn snd, unless
rcry high pnoes pr<.vail in iho auuitner,
may be auusidtrab.y leas than the
yield lrom the fact thai some coiton
will bo hold back, iu ovtry section, for
higui r prices.
Thir hint maybe in eithor direction,
and we leave ibo reader to nia*e his
oboico of tho two possible oonairuoiionB.
(1) A great deal of qoptpn ? being
held bnok lor higher prices, and if they
aro not real xod it will bo oarried over
t j n ?xi year, aod there may be "considerably
leje" notion in the oommeroial
orop than this yoai's yield. (2) Tms ia
probable "uqlo^s very high prioee pro
vail i:i summer. Wbctbor Mr. tibopper.
son thinks thai tho very high piicsi
will pretal or that thoy will not and
tho ooitoa which is' being saved for
high prices will wait in vain and bo
oarried into qexj year, thus making
thia oommeroial orop considerably less
than the yield, each reader may decide
for himself.?Aoguha Chronicle.
