STEADILY IMPROVES DR. TALMAGE'S SUNDAY SERMON. Argues That the World Grows Better Day By Day- Many Opportunities. For Improvement. ' WASUJISUTON, D. C.-In thia discourse Dr. Talr.iagc recites some great ovortta and ehows that the world in advancing in thc right direction; text, .Joel ii, 30, "I will show wonder? ia the heavens und in the earth.." Dr. Cumming-great and good man would have told UK thc exact tinto of the fulfillment ox this prophecy. As I stepped into hin wluriy in London on my arrival from Pari* just after the French had sur renden d at Sedan the ROO?! doctor enid to tro: "lt hi just what I had told you about France. People Itiughrtl ut rae because I talked about the seven horns and the vials, but. 1 foresaw all this from the book ol' Daniel und tho book nf Revelation." Not taking any such responsibility in the in terpretation of the passage, I simply as sert that there are in it suggestions of many things In our tir.ie. . O'.ir <-yo9 dilate and our heart quickens in its pulsations ay wc read 01 evento in the third century, thc sixth century, the ??ifi'ith century, Hie fourteenth century, but there \v?re moro far-reaching events rrowded intoShc niiicicetiih century than iut<> any other, and the lasr twenty years cell p?e any preceding twenty. We read in de l'ni?y newspapers of events announced in one paragraph and without any special .?mphapis-events which a Herodotus, a Josephus, a Xenophon, a Cihhou, would have" taken whole chapters or whole vol ume-? to elaborate. Looking out upon oar time, wu must cry out in the wurrin of the text. "Wonders in the heavens jud in the earth." 1 propase to show you that the tima in which we live is wonderful for disaster and wonderful for blessing, for t'neve murrt lie lifihts and ?hades in this picture as in ?ll others. Need I argue that our lime is wonderful for disaster? Our world has bad a rough time since by the hand of Ood it was bowled out into space, lt is au epileptic earth-convulsion after convul sion; frosts pounding it with -ledge hani iner ?>f icebergs and lires melting it with fnrnaevH seven times herded. It is n won drr me it. has lasted .-o long. Meteor? th i.-:.;.ig hy on this side and grazing it and me!rota shooting hy in the other side and grabing it. none o' them slowing up for tail ty.

Hut it ?ems to us as it* the inst hundred years were especially characterized bv dis as;rr-vo'canie, oceanic, epidemic. ? say vol? anic because an earthquake is only a volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and Cotoon::i and Vesuvius sion breathing, let the foitndatinus of the earth beware 1 Sev en thousand earthquakes in two centuries recorded in the ca'.a'.oquc of thc British as sociation! -Trajan, thc emperor, goes to ancient Antioch, and amid the sp eudora of his reception is met by an; carfchemake, iliac "nearly destroys the emperor's life.

At ?the mouth of tho (langes arc three islands, ?.the Hat tin h, the Suiukcp and the Dakin [fihabosppre. In the midnight of October, :1877, on nil those Ihre? islands thc cry 'was. "T ic waters!" A cyclone arose anti rol'ed the M I our lho.-o three islands, ;and of a population o? 319,000, 215,000 were ?drowned. (July those ?lived who had .climbed to the top of the highest trees! .Did you ever see a cyclone? No"? Then jl pray Cod you muy never see one. I caw to. cyclone on the ocean, and it swept us : ?00 mi ey back from our course, and for j .thirty-six hours during the cyclone and [after it we exported every moment to go to the bottom. They lo'd in before wc re hired nt il o'clock that Hie barometer had iallcn, but at Jl o'clock at night wc were awakened willi thc sho?k 'if the waves. AU thc belita ont!

Seven hundred people praying, sh "jeldag. Our great chip poised a moment o:i the lon o* a mountain of phosphorescent (ire and (hen plunged down, down, down until it scorned as it she never vvntiid itg-dn he righted. Ah, yon never want lo f ee a cyclone at sea! But T was in Minnesota, where lhere was o Mi of those cyclones on laud that swept tho city o? Rochester from ita foun? dations and took dwelling houses, barns, men, women, children, horses, cattle and tossed them into indiscriminate ruin and lifted a rail train and dashed it ?own, a mightier hand than that of engineer on the airbrake. Cyclone in Kansas, cyclone in Missouri, cyclone in Wisconsin, cyclone in Illinois, cyclone in Iowa! Satan, prince of the power of the air, never made such cyclonic disturbances ns he has in our day. And am I not right in saying that one ot thc characteristics of the time ia which we live is disaster .cyclonic? But look at the disasters oceanic. Shall I call tho roll of the dead shipping? Yu monsters of thu deep, answer w-.ien I call vour names. The Ville de lb?vre, tliu Schiller, thc City of Boston, the Mai ville, tho President, the Cimbria, tho Orogou, the Mohegan. But why should I go on calling thc roll when noue of them an swers, and thc roll is as iong as the white scroll of the Atlantic su.-f at Cane Hat teras breakers? If thc oceanic cables could report all the scattered life and all the bleached bones that they rub against in thc ocean, what a message of pathos and tragedy for both beaches! In one storm eighty fishermen perished ott thc coast of Newfoundland and whole ilccts of them oil the coast of England. God help thc noor fellows ct saa aud give high scats in heaven to thc Crace Darlings ami ida Lewises and the lifeboat men hovering nrouud Goodwin sands and the Skerries! Tho sea, owning three-fourths of thc earth, proposes to capture tho other fourth, and is bombarding the laud all around the carib. The moving ol the hotels at l?ri?h ton Beach backward 100 yards from where they once stood, a type of what is going on all around the world and on every coast. The Dead Sea rolls to-day where ancient cities stood. So I rejoice day by day. Work for nil to do, and we may turn thc crank of thc Christian machinery this way or that, foi* we are free agents. But there is the track laid so long ago no one remembers it-laid by thc hand of the Almighty Cod in sock ets that no terrestrial or satanic pressura can ever affect. And along tho tracie the car of the world's redemption will roll nnd roll lo thc Grand Central depot of the millen nium. I have no anxiety about tha track. I am only afraid that for our indolence and unfaithfulness God will discharge t.s and get some otljcr stoker and some other engineer. Thc train is going through with us or without, us. Tliere is a house in London where Peter thc Croat, cf Russin lived awhile when bc was moving through the land incognito and in workman's dress, that he miejit learn ship carpentry, by which ho could supply the needs of bis people. A stran ger was visiting at that hou?e, "What's in that box?" The owner paid: ''1 don'i know. That hore was there wheu I poi the hoiue, and it was lhere when ir.y fat'.ier got it. We havn't had any curiosity t-> look at. it. I guess there's nothing in it." "Well," said the stranger, "i'd give voa ?2 for it," "Well, done." The ;C'J was paid, and the cornent* of that box wove sold to the Czar ot Russia for ?1.10.090. In it thc lathing machine or Peter the Great, his private letters and documents of values beyond all monetary consideration. And here are Hie events that seem very insig nificant nnd unimportant, but Ikey ?ncav3 treasures ol Divine Providence and eterni ties of meaning which after awhile Cjd will demonstrate before the ages as being of stupendous value.

Feed gunpowder to dogs and it will make them fierce. A negro will not burn the wood of a tree that has boen struck by lightning, for fear that his house will burn or bo struck by lightning. Ii a bird files into a house it brings luck. If a craw fish or a turtle catches your toes lt will hold on till it thunders.
