Hif country at the time we expected spring
weather make this sermon especially
appropriate. Dr. Talmages text was

his cold?"
The almanac says that winter is
ended and spring has come, but the
winds, and the frosts, and the thermometers,
in rome places down to
zero, deny it. The psalmist lived in
a more genial climate than this, and
yet he must sometimes have been cut
by the sharp weather. In this chapter
he speaks of the snow like wool,
sNsa*-"1"-? ihe frost like ashes, the hailstones
liker'marbles and describes the concealment
of lowest temperature. We
have all studied the power of the heat.
How few of us have studied the power
of the frost? "Who can stand before
his cold?" This challenge of the text
has many times been accepted.
Oct 19, 1S12, Napoleon's great army
began its retreat from Moscow. One
hundred and fifty thousand msu, 50,000
horses, 600 pieces of cannon, 40,000
sb-so-orlprc It was brio-hi weather
"when they started from Moscow, but
soon something wrathier than the
Cossacks swooped upon their Hanks.
An army of arctic blasts with icicles
for bayonets and hailstones for shot,
and commanded by voice of tempest,
marched after them, the flying artillery
of the heavens in pursuit. The
troops at nightfall would gather into
circles and huddle themselves together
for warmth, but when the day
broke they rose not, for they were
dead, and the ravens came for their
morning meal of corpses. The way
was strewn with the rich stuffs of the
east* brought ^as booty from the Russian
capital.* An invisible power
seized 100,000 men and hurled them
|j&r dead into the snowdrifts and on the
llll hard surfaces of the chili rivers and
into the maws of the dogs that had
gll^ followed them from Moscow. The
||||||k. freezing horror which has appallecT
1||||| history was proof to all ages that it is J
a vain thing for any earthly power to :
llpp^^ accept the challenge of my text, "Who 3
Hp could stand before his cold?" In the <
middles of December, 1777. at Valley 1
Forge, 11,000 troops were, with frost!!|L

1777! Valley forge was one of the a
tragedies of the century. Benumbed, r.

Germany perished, or the winter of. ta

One-half of the industries of our day ' ''
are employod in battling inclemency w
of the weather. The furs of the north, te
the cotton of the south, the flax of our uj

the coal from our own mines, the i vr
wood from our own forests, all em- j e^s
ployed in battling these inclemencies, I g(
ana still every -winter, -with blue lips j ai
and chattering teeth, answers, "None p<
of us can stand before his cold." 2xow, at
this being such a cold world, God to
sends out influences to warm it. I am
slad that the God of the frost is the er
God of the heat; that the God of the of
snow is the God of the white blossoms; vr
that the God of January is the God of hi

we 'svarm this world up is a question in

s
j woodcut represented the coming: o'
i the snow in winter and a lad looking
out at the door of a great mansion,
and he was all wrapped in furs, and
his cheeks were ruddy, and, with
glowing countenance, he shouted: "It
snows: It snows:" On the next page
there was a miserable tenement, "and
the door was open, and a child, wanand
sick and ragged and wretched,
was looking out, and he said, "Oh,
my God, it snows:" The winter of
gladness or of grief, according to our
circumstances. But my friends, there
is more than one way of warming up
this cold world, for it is a cold world
in more respects than one, and
I am here to consult with you as to
the best way of warming up the world.
I want to have a great heater introduced
into all your churches and all
your aomes throughout the world- It
is a heater of divine patent. It has
many pipes ,with which 10 conduct
beat, and it has a door in which to
throw the fuel. Once get this heater
introduced, and it will turn the arctic
zone into tbe'temperate, ana the temperate
into the tropics. It is the powerful
heater; it is the glorous furnace of
Christian sympathy. The question
ought to be, instead of how much heat
can we absorb. How much heat can
we throw out? There are men who
go through the world floating icebergs.
They freeze everything with their
forbidding look. The hand with
which they shake yours is-as cold as
the paw of a polar bear. If
they float into a religious
meeting, the temperature drops
from SO above to 10 degrees below
zero. There are icicles hanging
from their eyebrows. They float into
a religious meeting, and?they chill
everything with their jeremiads. Cold
prayers, cold songs, cold greetings,
cold sermons. Christiantv on ice! The
church a great refrigerator. Christians
gone into winter quarters. Hibernation
! On the other hand, there
are people who go through the world
like the breath of a spring morning.
Warm greetings, warm prayers, warm
smiles, warm Christian influence.
There are such persons. We bless
G-od for ihem. We rejoice in their
companionship.
A general in the English army, the
army havinghalted for the night, having
lost his baggage, lay down tired
and sick without any blanket. An of- ,
5cer came up and said: 'Why, you :
have no blanket. I'll go and get you i
i blanket." He departed for a few
moments and then came back and :
covered the general up with a very
rcarm blanket. The general said, ]
vvnose olanJxet lstnisr ine officer <
eplied, ''I got that from a private sol- j
iier ia the Scotch regiment, Ralph ]
McDonald." "Now," said the general,
"you take this blanket right back to t
hat soldier. He can no more do with- j
>ut it than I can do without it, Never :
)ring to me the blanket of a private t
oldier." How many men like that t
;eneral would it take to warm the c
rorld up? The vast majority of us I
.re anxious to get more blankets, f
whether anybody else is blanketlessor 1
lot. Look at the fellow feeling dis- ?
ilayed in the rocky defile between ?
Jerusalem and Jericho in Scripture c
imes. Here is a man who has been e
et upon by the bandits, and in the t
truggie to deep his property he has r
ot wounded and mauled and stabbed, ,
nd he lies there half dead. A priest
ides aiong. ile sees him ana says:
Why, what's the matter with that
lan? Why, he must be hurt, lying a
n the fiat of his back. Isn't it strange <-]
lat he should lie there? But I can't a
;op. I am on my way to temple ser- j,
ices. Go along you beast. Carry e*
le up to my temple duties." After u
svhile a Leviie comes up. He looks S(
ver and says: l,Why, tliat man a
iust be yery much hurt Gashed on q
ie forehead. What a pity I Stabbed ?
Eider;
it! What a pity! What, they have n
.ken his clothes nearly all away from

ty temple duties." tl
After awhile a Samaritan comes ti
ong?one who you might suppose y
irough a national grudge might have is
gected this poor wounded Israelite. I
oming along he sees this man and tc
tys: ''Why, that man must be terri- ei
ly hurt. I see by his features he is an -w
iraelite, but he is a man, and he is a o:
other." "Whoa!" says the Samari- it
m, and he gets down off the beast, and st

3ttle of oil and a bottle of wine, r<
eanses the wound with some wine, w
Len pours some of the restorative into tr
te wounded man's lips, then takes tl
ime oil, and with it soothes the st
ound. After awhile he takes off a aJ
of his garments for a bandage. aJ
ow the sick and wounded man sits tl
?, pale and exhausted but very thank- lj
il. Now the good Samaritan says, bi
irou must get on my saddle, and I a]
ill walk." The Samaritan helps and pi
nderly steadies this wounded man tl
atiJ he gets him on toward the tav- p;
n, the wounded man holding 011 gi

Now they have come up to the lav- ci
n. The Samaritan, with the help S:
the landlord, assists the sick and cc
ounded man to dismount and puts bi
.m to bed. The Bible says the Sam- n<
itan staid all night. In the morn- sc
g, I suppose, the Samaritan went w
. to look how his patient was and tl
;k him how he passed the night- li;
hen he comes out, the Samaritan ai
>rnes out, and says to the landlord: ta
ere is money to pay that man's board d(
id, if his convalescence is not as rapid gi
, I hope, charge the whole thing" to ti
e. Good morning, all." He gets S.

shellfish from under his coat and said,
"Here, take that." How many men
like that sailor would it take to warm

Fry went into the horrors of Newgate

on the northern and southern battlefields,
came to boys in blue and gray
while they were bleeding to death.
The black bonnet with the sides pinned
back and the white bandage on the
brow, may not have answered all the
demands of elegant taste, but you
could not persuade that soldier dying
a thousand miles from home that it
was anything but an angel that looked

with helpful word, with kind action,

It was his strong sympathy that
brought Christ from a warm heaven
to a cold world. The land where he
dwelt had a serene sky, balsamic atmosphere.
tropical luxuriance; no
storm blasts in heaven: no chill foun
Cains. On a cold December night
Christ stepped out of a warm heaven
into the world s frigidity. The thermometer
in Palestine never drops below
zero, but December is a cheerless
month, and the pasturage is very poor
on the hilltops. Christ stepped out of
a warm heaven into the cold world
that cold December night. The world's
reception was cold. The surf of be- j
stormed Galilee was cold. Joseph's
sepulcher was cold. Christ came, the !
great warmer to warm the earth, and 1
all Christendom today feels the glow.
He will keep on warming: the earth i
until the tropic will drive away the 1
arctic and the antarctic. He gave an !
intimation of what he was going to '
do when he broke up the funeral at ]
the gate of Nain and turned it into a <
reunion festival, and when, with his J
warm lips, he melted the Galilean '<
hurricane and stood on the deck and i
stamped his foot, crying, ,;Silence!'' <

pests folded their wings. s

HOKE SMITH AND CLEVEL^T HUMOROUSLY
ROASTED.
The Secretary's Failure to Obey a Law
Opeuiing a Reservation in Utah, and
Cleveland's Home iVlissIon Speech, the
Subjects.
Washington, March IS.?The feature
of today's proceedings in the senate
was a short debate upon a joint
resolution directing the secretary of
the interior to execute the law for
opening to settlement some 2,000,000
acres of land in the eastern part of
Utah, which have Veen part of the
Uncompahgre Indian reservation.
Severe strictures upon the secretary of
the interior for his attempt to nullify
the act of congress were made by Senators
Cannon, Wolcott and Vest. The
latter inveighed with much vehemence,
against the secretary declaring
that the time had been when the head
of a department wouldhaveto answer
to the bar of the senate for such an attempt
to trample upon the legislative
branch of the government. Mr. Vest
also caused much amusement by his
witty and caustic criticism of President
Cleveland's recent speech before the
Home Missionary society in New
York.
Mr. Vest began with the remark
that there was a time when a cabinet
officer, who deliberately failed to exe
| cute an act of congress, -would oe
brought before the bar of the senate
because he had trampled upon the legislative
department of the government
and had violated his oath of officeHe
happened to knovr all the fact*; in
regard to the matter.
He said that some years ago a company
had been organized in St. Louis
for the purpose of opening up certain
asphalt deposits in the Uncompaghre
reservation in the eastern part of
Utah and had invested a large amount
of money.
The St. Louis company had not
gone into the reservation. It had
bought land outside and wagoned the
product down to the Union Pacific
railway by which it was sent to the
different cities. The company did not
want the lands because the asphalt existed
m such enormous quantities that
there could be no monopoly in it.
There was also, Mr. Vest said, a New
York corporation which came on the
, scene last summer and which made
. some adjustment with the St. Louis
company. The question was whether
congress knew what it was doing
when it passed the act to open up those
lands. Congress did know it and
knew very well that there were great
: aspoalt deposits there.
[ What sort of right, Mr. Vest de.
manded angrily, had the secretary of
the interior to nullify that act of con.
gress. That practice had grown up
until it demanded reprehension ol
. congress and at once. The action ol
3 the secretary of agriculture on th<
I seed question was another instance oi
4-Ua Iri n
Li-L^ ociiia^/
) "And now," said he, "comes the
. secretary of the interior and says tha'
1 congress did not know anything abou
- these enormous deposits; and he take;
[ the responsibility of saying to th<
s President of the United States that th(
I proclamation opening these lands t(
. settlement shall not be issued. Her*
is a positive statute nullified by tin
} head" of a department, with no othe:
_ excuse except the paltry one that h
; assumed that congress had not the in
I formation which it has had for the las
"I seven years.
p ' "There seems." Mr. Vest continued
^ -'to be a disposition on the part_of th
< ad'TyjiigfroHnn to treat the Wester)
f T"petipra ^HifiiieyBwere m a coaan-KH
f of pupilage, as if they do net kno\
} their own rights or their own interests
P and as if they must be informed e:
. cathedra, from the east in reference t
. what is best for them and what'shouli
. be done for them. Even the Presiden
. i of the United States, lately on a mis
3 ji sionary occasion (laughter) spoke o
5: the west as a land of immorality am
. crime. He stood with the light?th
ghastly light?of the hell-holes am
. rum cellars of New York blazing
i upon him, and cantingly, said tha
j home missions must be used to civilize
i to Christianize the men who have lef
5 their homes in the civilized east an<
. gone out among the mountains an<
5: valley of the wild and wooly west
[ j (Loud and general laughter.)
.} "Our President stood with Dr._Tal
5 mags on oae side and the Eev. She!
i don Jackson on the other and gave u:
a new version of that beloved ol<
1 missionary hymn:
. *' 'From Montana's sinful mountains
; From Utah's wicked plains,
' They call us to deliver,
. Their land from errors chains.'"
: ; (Continued laughter.")
"We are told upon high ecclesiasti
cal authority that his excellency ha'
I lately laid down his honors at the fee
c of Jesus. I am glad to know it. I
. has been the general impression o:
2 Democrats that Mugwumps and in
' cense burners had got those honor:
and intended to keep them. I hav<
- great respect for the Christian religior
r and for missions at home and abroad
but this was a slander upon the mer
1 who, with rifle in one hand and ax<
in the other, have gone out and blazec
that pathway of civilization in th<
> western wilds. I went to Missour:
when it was a frontier State, roamec
by the Indian ana Dunaio. i nav<
1 lived -with, those people nearly 5(
1 years, and I say to our president nov<
that if he will pretermit hunting duck:
" in North Carolina and silver Demo
^ crats in Kentucky long enough tc
[ come out west, we will show him i
J God-fearing, self-respecting, law-abia

I- Our spires may not go as near heav
, en as those eastern cities, we may no
[ have organs that roll delorious tones
[ along fretted aisles, but we have i
people who fear God and observe th<
law and the commandments.
In connection with this humble, bui
! real religion, I am tempted to quot<
l these beautiful lines of the Scotch poet
, "Compared with this how poor reli
gions pride,
; "In all the pomp of method and of art.
: "When men display to cons regatiom

Something About the Terrible aTonsterat
Port Royal.
Port Royal, March 20.?While!
Spanish students are burning American
flags, and America's congress is
undecided as to -whether the exercises
of courteous magnanimity of irresistible
force would be best in dealing with
the effete descendants of the once allpowerful
Spaniards in securing a fair
fight in Cuba, must not the bones of
Lucas de Ayllon, resting somewhere
hereabouts, turn in their grave at the
{ significance of the demonstration here
I for the past day or two. And the shade
of that doughty Spaniard, the forerunner
of all Europeans to this coast,
must tremble with chagrin that the
port which he first entei-ed three and
three quarter centuries ago in search I
of Indians to use as siaves, suuum income
the scene of jollification for the
people of this new nation who hold the
power of his old country in so little
dread. Out upon the bosom of this
grand harbor lies a grim leviathan
bearing aloft the colors of this newcountry
and before whose angry breath
the most powerful ships of Spain's
navy would shrink as men of old did
from the fire-breathing dragon of mythology.
Within the range of vision
is also the accomplishment of engineering
skill backed by nature's smiles
and a rich country's gold?or silver.
The largest dry dock in America is on
Paris island, and the astronomers tell
us that on March 28 these two stars of
naval architecture, the one on sea and
the other ashore, will be in conjunction.
By the time the keel of a great warI
shin is laid the magazines of the coun
try give accurate technical descriptions
of the ship as she will be when completed,
-with a representation of her as
she will be some years' later cleaving
the green waters of the Atlantic. So
such a description of the Indiana
would now be out of date. The ship
must be seen to be realized, and it
would probably require several days
decoted to close inspection to enable
one to fully comprehend her many
wonderful parts.
On approaching the Indiana I was
impressed by the smallness of her exposed
surface to the guns of an enemy.
Lying low in the water and painted a
light brown stone color, she is nol
conspicuous at a mile's distance. Her
, great steel military mast with fighting
j tops?or round armor-protected plat
i forms in which are mounted machine
. guns 30 feet above the deck?is the
most conspicuous part of the ship at 2
. J distance. This mast is, of course, hoi[
low, the communication with the
, fighting tops being by ladders up the
interior. At the deck the interior o!
the mast is about 15 feet in diameter
.tapering up. Its weight,, with the
~ A A A i. ^
. fighting tops, is x,uuu
, On the Indiana are the largest gun:
ever mounted on an American shij
f and the most effective of any cannoi
? in the world. She mounts four can
non that fire steel projectiles 13 inche
in diameter and weighing 1,100 pound;
j each. These guns protrudetheir lonj
I black bodies 20 feet beyond the stee
t turrets which protect them. t Thes
5 turrets look like huge brown dishpan
? turned upside down over the guns an<
> with slits" cut in them through whic]
5 the muzzle may peep out, as it were
3 to sight an enemy. But they are pan
a made of the hardest steel known t
r man and 12 inches thick. The m(
5 chanism is so perfect that the gun an
t turret revolve to the pressing of a bul
\ ton which sets electrical powers i:
motion. The 13-inch guns are loade
by hydraulic power; all the others o
g the ship are loaded by hand._ Eac
j turret with its great guns weigh 50
v There are eigij^-inch and^?our"l
l? inch rifles, eac^^otected by turrel
t similar in construction to those of th
5 13-inch guns. Besides the machin
i guns in the fighting tops, the ship als
t mounts 20 3-pounder rapid fire Hotel:
kiss rifles. She is also supplied wit!
f six torpedo tubes for projecting int
i the sea the terrible Whitehead torjx
e do, loaded with 500 pounds of gu:
I cotton, and supplied with a storag
y battery, propeller and steering apparc
| tus. They can be so adjusted as t
3 run at any desired depth under wate
t and in any direction for 800 yards.
3 Steaming un between two ships o
} an enemy ?and delivering simultan*
ously a single fire from all her gun
this demon of the deep -will hurl fort'
. 11,000 pounds of steel and with a fore
. that makes pale into insignificance th
5 most terrible stroke of a thunderbol
i ever recorded. No other ship in th
world can cause such destruction at
single blast, and no other ship is s
' securely proteciod by such tremer
dously thick steel armor from the as
saultsof an enemy.
Down in the interior there are won
. ders to behold. The many uses t
5 which electricity is applied is astonish
j. ing. A big room, full of dynamos o
? the most improved description, wouli
j. be an hour's paradise for an electric
. ian. During a battle these dynamo
5 furnish auxiliary power in many ways
i All of the ammunition is brough
i from the depths below and supplied t
the firing squad at each gun, the tui
I rets are revolved and all the mino
? machinery kept in motion by electric

and look very cosy. True, th

1. Expenses of The State. ~ ,
Colu^ibia, Men. 30.?State Treasurer i
Bates in conversation with a represen- j
tative ot The State, said that since the '
adjournment of the legislature he had j
paid out between ?1S0,0Q0 and $L90,-j
000 for the back salaries of the State!
officers ai.u for the expenses of the
legislature. Last year the expenses of.
the general assembly amounted to
about $35,000 and this year about $60,-!
000 was paid out Treasurer Bates j
said that since November the expenses i
of the State government had amountedj
to about $3S0,000, including the expen- j
ses of the Constitutional convention,!
the legislature and the salaries of State
officers and that this large amount
had been paid in the past few weeks. ]
The State has been placed at a. great- j
er expense this year owing to the long j
session of the general assembly. The j
State officers up to a few days ago j
had not received any salaries for four j
month and were not paid until ^the ;
- ??-? n ^ Arl |
appropriation um w <xz> yoaovu. ?
ous banks, however, have cashed warrants
for them and patiently awaited
the passage of the bill. 1
State Treasurer Bates has handed
the press the following explanation of
the expenses of the State:
"In giving information to the public,
newspapers sometimes commit errors
that are amusing. For instance,
the State treasurer is reported to have
paid out since the adjournment of the
legislature between $130,000 and $190.000
for the back salaries of the State
officers and for the expense of the legislature.
If this were correct there
would surely be merit in the claim
that salaries of the State officers should
be reduced. The amount mentioned
included not only legislative expenses,
but also amounts due public institutions
for four months (one item of
which was $3,142.84, paid to the lunatic
asylum alone, certain special appropriations
and the salaries of all State
officers, including judges, solicitors,
stenographers, auditors, etc.
''The legislative expenses for the
year ending October 31st, 1895 was
$33,370.27. The legislative appropria"ticn
bill for the year 1S96 calls for
, $5,7S57.00. I am quoted as giving the
amount at $60,000. I had not the exact
figures with me, but I told the
; young gentleman of the press that the
amount was between $55,000 and $60,000.
"Of the $3S0,C00 paid out of the
general fund since November 1. 1S95,
nearly $140,000 went to pay the Jan u
, ary interest on the public debt.
"Other amounts have been paic
, than those in the general fund?an m
> stance, $34,000 out of $45,497.62 of the
[ privilege tax fund and large amount
. on the special dispensary fund."
