TALMAGE'S TABERNACLE. th at. | The Lowly Surroundings of the Advent ro - - I 4.U and tfte Signs in tne neaveas?ueinm> w of Christ's Separate Walks from Keth- til ' lehem to Calvary. ill Brooklyn, Sept. 27.?This is Sacrameat Sunday at the Brooklyn Taber- ^ nacle. The services as usual on these . occasions were very solemn and impres- cj sive. The morning service opened with the Long Meter Doxologv. The grand ^ offertory by Grison was exquisitely rendered by Professor Henry Eyre ^ Browne, and the service closed with ^ the majestic "Coronation*' hymn. I)r. . Talmage's discourse was on ' "The March ^ of Christ Through the Centuries," and . . his text Revelation xix, 12, "On his head were many crowns." ^ May your ears be alert and your ^ thoughts coneentered.and all the powers j ., ? ? 1 mt.il/, T tj^AaV f A I t)l vuur sum atuuscu, ?nuc x ?.v ^ you of "the march of Christ through ^ the centuries." You say, "give us then w a good start, in rooms of vermilion and ^ on tioor of mosaic and amid corridors jof porphyry and under canopies dyed in ; all the splendors of the setting sun." ,' > You can have no such starting place. ^ At the time our Chieftain was born, V( there were castles on the beach of Gali- m lee, and palaces at Jerusalem, and imperial bathrooms at Jericho, and obe- &r lisks at Cairo, and the Pantheon at ^ Rome, with its eorinthian portico and its sixteen granite columns; and the ^ Parthenon at Athens, with its glistening coronet of temples; and there were * mountains of fine architecture in many parts of the world. But none of them were to be the startling place of the ^ Chieftain 1 celebrate. . A cow's stall, a winter month, an at- ' i Biosphere in which are the moan of ^ 1 camels, and the baaing of sheep, and ^ the barking of dogs, and the rough ^ banter of hostleries. He takes his first journey before he could walk. Armed desperadoes with hands of blood were ' ready to snatch him down into butchery. Rev. William H. Thompson, the ^ veteran and beloved missionary whom n. I saw this last month in Denver, in his er eighty-sixth year, has described in his p volume entitled, 4'The Land and the ^ Book," Bethlehem as he saw it. Win- ' r ter before last 1 walked up and doun jn * the gray hills of Jura limestone on which the village now rests. ^ e The fact that King David had beer. ^ 1 born there had not during ages ele- ^ vated the village into any special at- * J tention. The other fact that it was t . the birthplace of our Chieftain did not ^ m ^^pthe place in after years from spe- . there j. H^^ue ht'i9 observed was the most abhorrent debauchery the world has ever seen. Our Chieftain was considered dangerous TK from the start. The world had put ^ suspicious eyes upon him because at the time of his birth, the astrologers ^ had seen stellar commotions, a world nut. nf its nlaee and shootinc down to- , t ward a casavanaary. Star divination was a sbienee. As late as the Eight- ^ eenth century it had its votaries. At the court of Catharine de Medici it was ^ honored. Kepler, one of the wisest jl m philosophers that the world ever saw, ^ declared it was a true science. As late as the reign of Charles II, ja Lilly, an astrologer, was called before ^ the house of commons in England to , i . . x ? , hi give his opinion as to future events. For ages the bright appearance of j ' Mars meant war; of Jupiter, meant j-( power; of the Pleiades, meant storms tv at sea. And as history moves in cir- ^ t cies, I do not know but that after ai . awhile it may be found th$t as the j moon lifts the tides of the sea and the . ' * sun affects the growth or blasting of t crops, other worlds besides those two j( worlds may have something to do with the destiny of individuals and nations je . I ir? rhw wnrlfl "* " " pi THE SYMPATHETIC STARS. g I do not wonder that the oommo- ar tions in the heavens excited the wise jj men on the night our Chieftain was w ) born. As he came from another world j, . and after thirty-three years was again j. i to exchange worlds, it does not seem ar t strange to me that astronomy should ^ have felt the effect of his coming. And jf, instead of being unbelieving about the st one star that stooped, I wonder that ^ all the worlds in the heavens did not ^ that Christmas night make some special demonstration. Why should they leave f to one w orld or meteor the bearing of jjj the news of the humanidation of Christ! UJ ^ Where was Mars that night that it did JU not indicate the mighty wars that were ^ to come between righteousness and ,) iniquity.' Where was Jupiter that night that it did not celebrate omnlpo- H, D ter>ee incarnated? Where were the lj1 [> Pleiades that night that they did not m announce the storms of persecution rj< that wc^uld assail our Chieftain ^ ' J In watching this lusjch of Christ g.f ] through the centuries, we must not < ] !walk before him or beside him, for that j would not be reverential or worship- * ful. So we walk behind him. We fol- ^ j low hhu while not yet in i?i* teens, up a ^ Jerusalem terrace, to a building ^ hundred feet long and six hundred feet wide, und under the hovering splendor of gateways, and by a pillar crowned ' with capital chiseled into tlu* shape tl; flowers and leaves, and along by walls ^ of beveled ma*oii;y and near a marble screen until a group of whitehaired philosophers and theologians ' gather around him, and then ti*e r 1 boy bewilders and confounds and overwhelms these scholarly septuage- , j narians with (Questions they cannot an- , j Jjncl under his quick whys and * wherefore and liows and whens they , j pull their whit*; btayd* with embarrass- fa - ' ment, and rub their wrinkled foreheads fh ^ i in confusion, and putting tlipijt ^4# rj * I hard down 011 the marble floor as they jj, r | arisa to go, they must feci like chiding se j I the boldne^c rhar allows twelve years \ ! ?* age to ask seventy-tj ye years of age J jn r ! such puzzlers. j CJ Oat of this building we folioyv h;u, j or j Into the Quarantania, the mountain oi J p, | i temptation, its side to this day black { with robbers' dens. Look! Up the i side of thjs mountain come all the ! forces of perdition to effect our Chief- UI ! tain's capture. But although weak- m j ened by forty days and forty wigbts of 1 qC stinence, he hurls all Pandemonium ?\vn the rocks, suggestive of how he u hurl into helplessness all our temptions. And now we climb right after him up e tough sides of the "Mount of Beitudes," and on the highest pulpit of eks, the Valley of Hatin before him; ^ ^ A''A 4-r\ tho virrhf lilTll C JjarvT Ul \^? c\iii vt CVS Cite V4 ??4MJ , e Mediterranean sea to the left of til, and he preaches a sermon that yet 11 transform the world with its apied sentiment. Now we follow our lieftain on Lake Galilee. We must tep to the beach, for our feet are not od with the supernatural, and we re ember what poor work Peter made it when he tried to walk the water. Christ our leader is on the top of the ssing waves, and it is about .half past ree in the morning,and it is the darkest ne just before daybreak. Hut by the ishes of lightning we see him putting s feet on the crest of the wave, stepug from crest to crest, walking the (lite surf, solid as though it were ozeu snow. The sailors think a ghost striding the tempest, but he cheers em into placidity, showing himself to ( a great Christ for sailors. And he alks the Atlantic and Pacific and editerranean and Adriatic now, and exhausted and affrighted voyagers ill listen for his voice at half-past three clock iu the morning on any sea, inled at any hour, they will hear his >iee of compassion and encourageent. We continue to follow our Chieftain, id here is a blind man by the wayside, is not from cataract of the eye or om ophthalmia, the eye extinguisher the east, but he was born blind. "Be )ened!" he crie3, and first there is a carting of the eyelids, and then a twi?ht, and then a mid noon, and then a lout, "'see! isee!" Tell it to all ie blind, and they at least can appreate it. And here is the widow's dead n, and here is the expired damsel, id Here is .Lazarus: "Live: our liieftain cries, and tiiev live. Tell it trough all the bereft households; tell among the graves.

Tell it to all the sick, irough all the homes, through all the :>spitals.

Tell to all the betrayed! if for ten thouind dollars, or for five hundred doirs, or for one hundred dollars your ;terests were sold out, consider for iw much cheaper a sum the Lord of trill and heaven was surrendered to inniliation and death. But here, while flowing him on a spring night beveen eleven and twelve o'clock, we e the Hash of torches and lanterns id we hear the cry of a mob of nihilts.

It took our party, in 1889, only fifteen minutes to elimb to the top of the hill and reach that limestone rock in yon der wall, which i rolled down from tin apex of Mount Calvary. But I think our Chieftain must have taken a lon?j time for the ascent, for he had ali earth and all heaven and all hell on his back as he climbed from base to summit, and there endnred what William Cow per and John Milton and Charles Wes ley and Isaac Watts and James Mont gomery and all the other sac-red poet: have attempted to put in verse; anc Angelo and Raphael and Titian anti Leonardo da Vinci and all the greai Italian and German and Spanish ant I French artists liave attempted to pamt and Bossuet and Massiilon and Greorg< Wliitefleld aud Thomas Chalmers liavt attempted to preach. Something of its overwhelming aw fulness you may estimate from the faci that the sun which shines in the heav ens could not endure it; the sui which unflinchingly looked upon th< deluge that drowned the world, which without blinking, looked upon the ruin: of earthquakes which swallowed Lisboi and Caraccas, and has looked unblanch ed on the battlefields of Arbela, Blen lieim, Megiddo and Esdraelon, and al the scenes of carriage that have eve: scalded and drenched the earth witl human gore?that sun could not lool upon the scene.

In al the libretto of celestial music it wai hard to find an anthem enough conjubi lant to celebrate the joy saintly seraphic, archangelic, deific. But still we follow our Chieftain ir his march through the centuries, foi invisibly he still walks the earth, ant! bv the eve of faith we still follow him. You can tell where he walks by tlj? churches and hospitals and reforina tory institutions and houses of mercy that spring up along the way.

The Bible talks about '-the ends of the earth" and the Uttermost parts of the world" as be ing Sftyed, hot hot until now have the "ends of the earth" been discovered, and not until now have the "uttermost parts of the world" been revealed.

The swiniships are ready, the lightning express trains ape ready, the printing presses are ready, the telegraph and telephone are ready, millions of Christians are ready and now see Christ marching on through the centuries. Marching on! Marching on! One by one governments will fall into line and constitutions and literatures will adoro his name. More honored and worshiped is he in this year of lstll than at any time since the yeai one, and the day hastens when all nations will join one procession "follow ing the Lamb whithersoever hegoeth."

UWliBilCH .O I In six days God created the heaven* and the earth, and by his omnipotent hand planted in the earth the seed* ^ of the stately oak, healing herbs and beauteous flowers, and to mar ir he gave a home among lueious fruit* 111 and fragrant flowers. Agriculture is the first and grand ljj est of all occupations. God plantec the garden of Eden and placed man therein to beautify and tend it. H< caused to spring forth out of tin ground every tree that is pleasant to the sight and bears fruit for man's sustenance. It was a command oi I tr [.0 the Almighty that man should till tin c_ ground. History proves that wher< e_ agriculture has been fostered by ? ill People that nation has reached a higl p, degree of perfection. ar Since the creation of the earth ,n agriculture has existed. There is nc st occupation that precedes it. No or ss der nor association that can rani ie with it in antiquity, power or knowl J. edge. It is the pivot of the world at as compared with it all other occcu re pations are as vapor driven before f ir- tempesteous gale. When Napoleon drew up his troops is before the Mameluks under tin id shadow of the pyramids, pointing t( Its the later, he said to his soldiers y. "Remember that from youde: dl height forty centuries look dowr on you," but as we behold tin a" glories to be won in the grea ld held of agriculture, we cry ou in to the youth of this land, that mon ie than six thousand years look dowi n" on you and tell you of the happi es tipqq to V?p found in this occuDation ^ But let us look at some of the ad vantages of this vocation. In tin e~ first place, as all other vocations de * pend upon farming, the people win ' are engaged in farming are more in dependent than the people who fol low other occupations. Then, if i v_e be true that the more independent i man becomes the happier he be comes, it follows that the farmer are happier than any other classes o je men. It was Scotland's immorta ts bard that said: uTo court Dame For tune's golden smile assiduous, wai upon her and gather yearly ever !je will that's justified by hornor; no to hide it in a hedge but for the glc ia rious privilege of being indepen id >d pure air iq all the of teaches the great lesson of self-reli of ance.

That name is George Wash )W ington, once a fanner boy. Agriculture is the light house o \y the world. When the waves art surging to and fro, and when th< storms of life are raging highest, ii >s- is then that her golden sun shine* d, brightest. I thank God that I an ig permitted to live in this glorious ag S. rimiltural country where every mar can sit under his own vine and tree. Of all the instrumentalities for soothing the wrinkled brow ol n care, tranqulizing the feelings of th< s(j suffering invalid, elevating the mine ' to higher and nobler purposes anc n_ for making life happy there is non< that equals a life on the farm. e Again, agriculture has a greal moral effect for it deals with the real ities and leads from nature up to na je ture's God. We of this generatior and nation occupy the Gibralter oj the ages which commands the world's 0- O future. Iy I do not mean to say that all far mers are just what the ought to be. ^ That is not the subject under discus '' sion. It is my aim to call your atten >- tion to the possibilities and advantages of this great occupation. liven heart should pay tribute to agricul ture. Brain and blood and life owe their existence to the labor of the husbandman. All classes of men should do everything possible for the encouragement of * is noble pursuit. This is a duty tha >-ery man owes ie to himself, for when the farmers oi -s the country are prosperous all other r> classes are prosperous. There should e> be on the statute book no law detri -s mental to the man who upturns the d sod with his silvery plow or reaps the harvest of golden grain. The farh mer is brother to the world. Every d effort should be put forth for his de13 | velopment and improvement Some Y- j farmers seem ashamed of their call a | ing. This is simply lack of sense. 19 | Then there are those who say there is 110 money in farming. To the man who gives to the town or village six I days in the week, chietiv to whittle ^ goods boxes and gossip, the earth 10 does not yeld the bounteous increase. 10 But to the faithful man who puts his a* hands to the plow and does not "turn ? back," there is the glorious promies i from God himself that he shall have i plenty of bread. The farm in so j eiety has always held a material su ! premacy to which every other interj est has turned with filial respect. It i is further an undisputed fact that of c - ( all the callings agriculture is the most f ; suggestive of mental training and ! improvement. !

If poli - tics had been kept out of the Alii- j t ance I have no doubt in the world y it would have succeeded in its under- ' t takings. The Alliance was a Radical ?- invention, I fear, to decoy the Dem ocratic party. I have nodQ^^^tfSjip the peopleyntenti(j||^KS^^^^^H - cratic party, and she is in their grasp 1 } at present but I do hope by the time 1 of the ensuing election that the peo 1 pie will have enough of warehouses 1 f and land loan schemes. I am fully 1 - satisfied that if you look info this < f matter thoroughly your conclusion J - will be, that sub-treasury is another 3 name for office. , It is surprising to see how people i can be blinded and led off. We listen : too much to those shrewed, perfidious politicians. Of course they will en1 deavor to make you believe if they i are elected you shall have werehouses > and other prodigious schemes that i they are advocating in operation. i Friends, don't believe every word 3 that emanates from eloquent lips and i silver tongue orators. If you do, they will have in your imagination i 1 that you will soon be rolling in af> fluence. Have a mind of your own 1 [ about these matters; study both 1 sides until you satiate every desire > you have on the subject; don't take up bright things of one side and - think you will just march on to victory, but see if the advantages outf weigh the disadvantages. Supposing } there are 3,000 counties in the United 3 States, and one warehouse to every three counties, that makes 1,000 f i ware houses in the United States. 1 There are 5,000,000 farms. In all j - probability in those 1,000 counties i there are 2,000,000 farms, what is to 1 y become of the 3,000,000 fanners who ( * live in those other counties? Haul * f their produce fifty or sixty miles to j j store it up for speculators? It is go- ^ 1 ing to be one of the grandest things ^ I for monved men ever known in this j ) country. People are going to be mighty accommodating to haul their t produce to speculators. It is the - most preposterous thing I ever heard - of. Friends, don't let every ,?fool- j: i hargs" expression put some pernil tious idea into your head. ^ j Land loan schemes, did you say? "What benefit is that for a poor man - that has not got any land?

I will say to all such that they should know better than to favor such ij s destructive schemes as are before the ^ ; people now. Laws have always been ? to suit the wealthy, and I am afraid j i they are going to remain so. In conclusion, I will say that the q i farmers of this country need not ex- jy ; pect to be hoisted up in the realms ^ of bliss and their soar around in opulence.

Jnthe outset I will tate, that though the company was tommissioned the Peak Guards, the lame has lately been changed to that >f the Peak Rifles. At 10 o'clock the company assem)led in their armory, from which it narened oat to tne grounds under :ommand of Capt. P. E. Eargle. [Being arrayed in handsome new uni'orme, with glistenirg bayonets and _?_ lag flying waving above, the company nade a show unsurpassed by few, if my of the military companies of the State. On arriving at the grounds, vhere a large crowd had already assembled, the company spent more ;lian an hour drilling which was jreatly admired by the entire assem)lage. A rest was then taken, when Capt. Eargle, in a few appropriate remarks, ntroduced Lieut. Harry Blease of ;he Newberry Rifles, who entertained us with an excellent address appropriate to the occasion. He spoke of lL. :j. -1 v j [lie preue 01 uemg a suiuier auu especially a South Carolinian. He recounted the positions South Carolina had always eccupied in the various wars to which our country has been engaged and the valor displayed by aer sons in fighting for home and country. Want of. space will not admit a full synopsis of hia speech which was attentively listened to and greatly enjoyed by all. The next thing in order was din aer, the anouncement of which was ananimously resphoded to. The din aer was excellent in every respect and [he supply was bountiful, in fact the Long table was heavily laden with lainties that would tempt the appetite of the most fastidious. After dinner Lieut. Blease drilled the company for a short while, and after a short rest, the march for Peak was taken up. The day was pleasantly spent and will long be re* membered by all present.
