Ib novel way Dr. Taluisge iu
. this discourse describes wrbat pmy be
expected in tbs next world by those
who her* bend all tAeir energies in
the rifftt dlrebttbn; text. Tl Peter
i, 11: "IY>r eo ah entrance siiall bo
mlnisterod unto jou ubnndantly."
JL/iuer?nt iijicv 01 nuicumr hi ?<uo
of Heaven are' li<ro suggested.
Wo all hopo to enter that supernal
capital through the grace that is
roady to aavo even the chief of 6iu- !
aero. But not now. No? man .healthy ;
of body and miiul wants to jro now.
Tho man who hurls himself out of
this life la either an agnostic or is
demented or finds life inalterable
ond doeo'not eal'e where lie lands.
Thlo is the best world we ever got
got into, ond we want to stay here
oa long as God will let-us stay. But
when the last page of tlio volume of
ur earthly life is ended we want enrollment
in Heavenly citizenship. We
wont to get in easily. We do not j
want toite challenged nt the gate and
sked to show ouf passport*. We do
aot want the gatekeeper in doubt as
to whether we ought to go in at all. ,
We do not want to he kept1 in the
portleo of the templo until consulta- j
tion i* made as to where we came j
from' and who we are and whether |
it ia safe to admit us, lest we bo a
discord in the eternal harmonies cr i
lower the spirit of Heavenly worship '
When the apostle I*eter in the text j
addresses the people: "For so on entrance
shall ba administered unto
you abundantly," he implies that
aoxne will find admission into Heaven
easy, , rapturous and acclamatory, !
while others will have to squeeze
through the gate of Heaven, if they 1
get in at all. They will arrive unx- '
loua and excited and apprehensive and
wondering whether it will be "Cornel" |
or "Gol" The Bible speaks of such
parsons as "scarcely saved," and in
another place as '"saved as by fire,"
and in another place as escaped "by
ths akin of tbo teeth."
Carrying out tlie suggestion of my
toxt, I propose to show you what '
classes of Christians will get into |
Heaven with a bard push snd those
who will bound in amid salutations
Infinite. In th? first class 1 put that
man who geta into the kingdom of
God at the cloae of a life all given ,
to worldllnes* and sin. Years ngo lie
made the resolution that l:s would
servo himself and serve the world until
body, mind and soul were exhausted
and then, just before going out of
thlo life, would seek (Tod and prepare
to enter Heaven He carries out
his resolution 11c genuinely repents
tho last day or the last hour or the
last minute of hi* life. He takes t^e
last seat in the latt enr of the last
traia bound Heavenward. His released
and immortal spirit ascends
Not one wing bears down toward him
with a KcVnm. W . U... ~ * .... X

at his arrival. .N'ono there obligated
?o him for kindness <ion? or alms <!'>a
tributcd or spiritual help nrlirrnTstered
lie will find some place to
etav^ but T do not env.v that man his
^ LLcl?fpit?in. igtt f? whs not
an abundant entrance.
Sometimes In our pulpits we give
a wrong- turn to the story of the
dying thief to whom Christ said:
-ibis day shalt thou be with me in
Paradise." We ought to admire the
mercy of CliTist that pardoned him in
the Inst hour, but do not let us ndmire
the dying thief. When he was
arrested, I think his pockets were full
of stolen coin, and the coat he hnd
on hia back waa not his own. lie
stole right on until he was arrested
for bis crimes. lie repented, and
through great mercy arose to Taradlso,
but he waa no example to follow.
What a gigantic meanness to
devote the wondrous equipment of
brain and nerre and muscle end bone
with which we nra endowd, these
miracles of sight and bearing and
speech, to purposes unworthy or pro^
fane, and then, through hasty repentsuue
at the lRst, enter Heaven!
Cheating God all one's lifetime and
than taking advantage of n bankrupt
law and made free of r'.I ..abilities,
X should think that some men would
be ashamed to enter Heaven or would
prefer some medium place in the \\ '<*
universe where the palaces are t. ;
so effulgent nnd the trees bear not
mors than six instead of twelve manner
of fruits and the social life la not
so exalted.
Again, the bigot will not have what
my text calls un abundant entrance.
Ha ha* his bedwarfed opinion us to
what nil must believe and do in order
to gain celestial residence. lie has his
creed in one pocket and his catechism
la another pocket, and it may be a
good creed and a gooa oatrchisin, but
ha nses them as sharp swOTds against
those who will not accept his theories
Vou must be baptized in his way or
some to him through apostolic sneers- '
sion or bo foreordained of eternity, or
you are is au awful way. He shrive.s
up scd shrivels up ond becomes mora
splenetio until the time of his departure
is at hand. He has enough of
the salt of grace to save him, hut his
entrance into Heaven will be aoin#?
thing worth watching. What do they
want with him in Heaven, where they
hara all gone info eternal catholicity,
on* grand commingling of Methodi.-ta
and Baptists and lCpiscopalinns and
Luthecana and Congregational ts arid
Presbyterians and a score of other denominations

J [is Stomach Removed
A remarkable Burgieal operation was

The bigot ascend* n 1th jmt enough ^
grace to lire him. A? he comes up 11
to the shining gate he sec* standing '
inside Of it dome whom he used to
meet every fvundar morning on the
atreet going to seme other church of c
tome other denomination, and he *
criee out:'"Are you there?" I never ?
expected to see you in eucb a glorious 1
place. You were all wrong in your
religious theories on earth and in *
your form off (Slnjrcb gxnernmeot.
llovr did you get in?" "Saved by
grace," it the Heavenly reply. ."Kivved
by grace!" The bigot is embarrassed 1
and feels for . bis creed and his catechism.
and. lo, they were left on the
bank* of the Hirer Jordan us he
passed through, ond lie erica out:
I think I will hare to enter on the
same terms Saved by-grace! Saved
by grace!"
Again, tho peniurfous Christian will
not hare an abundant entiance. Perhaps
he was not converted until al! his
habits of tiglit-fiMedness were fixed
beyond recovery. The people who are
generous were taught to be generous
in childhood. You can tell from the
way the boy divides the npp!e what his
characteristics for generosity or meanness
will ba for the next RO years, if he
lives so lorg. If he rat It ail himself
while others look wistfully on, he will
be a Shylock; if he give half of it to
6oine one who has no apple, he will he
an ordinarily generous man; if he ?,.??
three-tourtlis of it to another he will
be a Karon H.ir*ch;or a lieorge I'cubody.
For 30 years this man hns been practicing
an economy which piided itself
on never pas.sii-g a pin without picking
it up. and if lie responded at all in
church would pnv on the collection
plate so insignificant a coin that he
held his hand over it so that no oia
could discover the smallness of the
denomination. Somewhere in the fifties
or sixties of his life, during a revival
of religion, he became 11 Chris- '
tian. Tie is very much changed in i
most respects, but his ail-absorbing ac- '
quisitarciiess stilt influences him. 'J'o '
extract from him a gift for an orphan- 1
age 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 dis- i
pute, snd j'et they are pronounced by i
ull as penurious, and they know it ]
themselves and pray against it. We i
w uave ovir baU an bits and yet expect |
to get to Heaven. and this skinflint has
bis mighty temptation. The pnsslcn
of avarice well illustrated its strength
whe-n in one of the houses of exhumed
Potnpeil was found the skeleton of h
man who was trying to escape with 60
coins and a silver saucepan For those
valuable* he dared the eshes and
scoria of Vesuvius which overwhelmed
him. and many a good mun has been
held migh tily by avarice
Hut thaf brings ine to the other
thought of my text, that there are
those who will, when they leave this
life bound into Heaven amid salutations
infinite "For so an entrance
sfysli t|e administered unto sou abundant
v." Such exultant admission wi
av. ait- these who enter Heaven after
on eartli living a life for others and
without reference to cor.rpicuity Or
the hanIrs of the Ohio or t lie Tuscaloosa
or tho Androscoggin is r large family.
11 of whom have been carefully aid
relig! >nslv reared. In the earlier
stages of that family there were many
privations. The mother of the household
never had any amusement* Perhaps
cr.ce in a year s poor theatrical
play was enacted in the neighboring
school Louse or a squa wiring concert in
the town hall, and that w a* a!! t he diversion
afforded for the winter season.
I as Led the manager of an insane a sr -'
luin In Kentucky: "From what class of
persons do you get trost of your patients?"
and lm said: "From farmers'
wives" I asked the same question of
the manager of an in?ane asylum in
Pennsylvania, and the same question
of the manager of an insane asylum in
Massachusetts, nnd got the same reply:
"We have on our rolls for treatment
more farmers' wive* than persons
coming from any other class." '5 hat
answer will he a surprise to seme; it.
was no mi prise to me. The simple reason
is. farmers' wives as a general
thing have no diversion It is break- i
fast, dinner and supper, sewing. scouring-,
scrubbing, knitting, mending,
year in and year out. That mother it i
the milliner, the mactua maker, the |
nurse. the doctor, the accountant of j
the w hole faiuily. She plans the ward
robe of sprii j*. of sun;uier, of autumn, ,
of winter, cutting-, fitting completing ;
garments, out of which the children ,
soon grow and mftst have something
else. The newspaper does cot come, or, ,
if coming, there is n? time to read it. i
No selection of good books. The neigh- ]
bore calling in are full of the same ,
grinding routine. No wonder so many ]
of them go into dementia!
Now. the mother of w horn I speak as 1
living on the banks of that river in i
Ohio or Alabama or Main* has gone j
through all be drudgery mentioned, i
eud her chilcren have turned out well, |
good and useful incn and women,orna i
merits of society, pillars in the house (
of Clod, and that whole family, after i
the years have passed by end their (
work is done will meet in the Heaven- j
ly country. 1 rom such a family some (
will certsln'y have preceded her, ar.d ]
the time of her expected ai rival will be <
announced to ell the members of that <
family already glorified and to the old i
ear'.hly neighbors who put down their i
toils a little sooner than she did, and <
she will have the warmest kind of home <
coming. j 1
There is another kind of spirit who '
will have radiant admission to the ;
upper dominion. There is a fact

(1900 1901) is 9,900,000 bales. lie
comments upon this an follows:
At the close of the European cotton
season on September 30, the stocks of
cotton of all growths in European markits
woro only 280,000 bales, being tbo
smallest recorded iu 58 year*, with tho
txoeptioo of 1863, when, in consequence
of oar civil war, the European stooks
ware roducod to 250,000 bales. Consumption
howt r?r, was on a much
smaller scale then, and the stooks, on
Soptomber 30, 1863, represented six
weeks' consumption of tho mills;
whereas tho stooks last S eptember wore
not enough for two weeks' cousuir ption
of European spinners. Ttie con sump
tion of American cotton last season by
American and foreign m lis was ^bnut
11,000,000 bales. My fricud, Mr.
Thomas hllisin of Liverpool, calls it
10 900,000, being 566,000 moro than
the estimate published by him at tho
beg nning of tho season. In his circa-'
iar of October 20 ho o6tima(od a reduction
this season iu Am-rioan and Japanese
onsnmption of 378,000 bales (of.
500 pounds upi) and an iporesso in Kurop-an
consumption of 90,000 ball a
(jt 500 pounds net), and, with the cjt
peoiaiion of larger suppli'os than last
season from countries other than AmerV
'oa. stated that an Amcrioan crop of 10,
382,000 bales would bo r< quirod in order
to keep the stook at tho end of thp
season from falling bolow tho limited
supply at its commencement. Oj Do
ocmb.-r 18 Mr. Etlison cabled that he
thought au American crop of 10,150,
liOO bales wouid meet the requirements
of the spinners. This was due to the
cxpcctatiin of larger receipts from In
ci-4 than his estimate in October of 800,
000 "bales, or 500,000 more than last
season In this coneotion it is, well to
nmcuiber that while 217,000 spindlcB
were added to the mills of India lart
season. many or the mills wcro not con
stantly at work. It in probable, in view
of iho better crops and improved condition
of affairs that considerably mora
cotton will bo spun in India than last
stason. Ti?c commercial crop of India
last Bcason wt?B 2 fi 13,OOC bales against
an average of 3,21)0,000 for the four
previous seasons, but the aotual yield
was probably not over 1,300,000 bales,
tho balance being cjitou held over
from previous cr ps. It is thought
that little or no old cotton was lift in
the interior of India last season, 3othat
the prcseut commercial crop will not
exceed the growth of this season. The
quantity available for export to Kuropo
is theriforo not likely to exactd 606,000
bales, and may not be as much.
The la-geet shipment fr.in Iad a to

Egyptian crop is expsotea to bu less

quality is below tho average. 1 have
