This evening at Tho Chris tain lier;ild service in the Academy of Music, New Y ork, the serimon was re peate,i before an atidience which filled the vast building in every part. Dr. Talmage annotinted as his text, l. civ, 32: "lIe toucheth the hills and they smoke." lie said : David tie poet here pictures a vol cano, and what Church's Cotopaxi does on painter's canvas this author does in words. You see a hill, caln and still and for ages immovable, but the Lord out of tho heavens puts his linger on the top of it, and from it rise thick vapors intershot with fire. "lie touch eth the ils and they smoke." God is the only being who can man age a voleano, and again and again has 4 he em ployed volcanic act ion. Tfhe pic tures on the walls of Pompeii, the ex humed Italian city, as we saw them last Novenhter, denionstrate that the city N-as tic. lit to live. In the first century that city, engirdled wth palaces, eiparadisved with gardens, pillared into architectural exquisite ness, was at the foot of a mountain up the sides of \Ilich it ran with vine yards anl villas of merchant princes, and al. that marble and bronzo and in perial ba his aind a r boriculture and rainbowet omitains, and a coliseum at the dedieation of which nine thous and beasts had been slain, and a super nal landscape in whiii lhe shore gave roses to the sea and the sea gave cry. tals to the shore; yea, all that beauty and pomp and wealth could give was there o lie seen or heard. But the had morals of the city had shocked the world. I p the year 79, otv the 4th of A iigu4, a black col unin rose above the adjoining mountain and spread out, Pliny siiy, as lie s:aw it, like a great pine truee, wider and wider. until it b gan to rain upon the city first thin ashes and then pumice stone, and sul plhurolus fumes scooped, and streams of mud poured through the streets till few people escaped, and the city was buried, tnd soime of the inhabitants eighte#-n hunlidred years after were found etnialmed in the scoria- of that awful doom. The Lord called upon volcanic forces to obliterate that prolli gate city. lie touched the hills and they smiok-d. SC!IlNC E ANC -- ii'iTt: AN ( IEi, Nothing but volcanic action can ex plain what I shall show you at the Dead sea upon which I looked last )e cemnber, and of whose waters I took a bitter and stinging taste.

Lake Sir-l-kol, of lndia, is the highest lake in tIe world. This lake, on the banks of wvhich we kneel, is the lowest lale. 11 empties into no sea among other things, for the simple reason that water cannot run up hill It swallows up the river Jordon and l'ikes no response of thanks, and never reports whit it does with the twenty inPlion cibic feet of water annually received from that sacred river. It takes the tiree branches and logs float ed into it by the Jordan and pitclies them on the banks of bitumen to decay there. The hot springs near its banks by the name of Callirlioe, where King IIerod came to bathe off his illnesses, no sooner oi r in to this sea than they are poison vd. Not a lish scaleswims it. Not an in sect walks it. It hates life, and if youat tempt to swim there it lifts you by an innatural buoyancy to the surface, as much as to say, "We want no life here, but death is our preference; death." Those who attempt to wade into this lake, and submerge them selves, come out almost maddened, as with the sting of a hundred wasps and hornets, and with lips and eye lids swollen with the strange ablution. ''lh sparkle of its waters is not like the sparkle of' beauty on other lakes but a metallic luster like unto the flash of a sword that would thrust you. The gazell's and the ibexes that live on the hills beside it, and cranes and wild ducks that fly across-for, contrary to the old belier, birds dto safely wing their way over it-and the Arab horses you have been riding, though thirsty enough, will not drink out of thus dreadi'ul mixture. A mist hovers over parts oU it almost contin ually, which though natural evaporation, seems like a wing of doomi spread over liquid des olation. It is the rinsings of abomina tion. It is anl aqlucous monster coiled among the hills, or creeping with rip ples, and stenehful with nauseating nialodors. TilE ciTi's oF 'ill. , 'LAIN. in these regi:ms once stood four great cities of Assyria: Sodom, Gonior rah, Adima and Zeboim. The Bible says they were destroyed by a temptest of fire and briistone after these cities had filled tip of wickedness. "No; that is absurd," cries some one; "It is evi dent that this was a region or salt and brimstone and pitch long before that." And so it was. The Bible says it was a region of sulphur long before the great catastrophe. "Well, now," says some one, wanting to raise a quarrel between science and Revelation, "you have no right to say the cities of the plain were destroyed by a temptest of fire and sulphur and brimstone, be cause this region had these characteris ties long before these cities were des. troyed." \olcanic action, is my reply. These cities had been built out of very coiuhostible materials. The mortal was of bitumen vasily ignited, and the walls dripped with pitch most intlaina. ble. They sat, I think, on a ridge of hills. They stood high up and conspic lions. radiant in their sins, ostentatioum in their debaucheries, four hells or earth. One day there was a rumiling in tIh earth, a I a quaking. "What's that y cry the afTrighted inhabitants. "What' that ?" The foundations of the earth were giving way. A. volcano, whose fires had beenl burning for ages, at God's coinmand bursts forth, easily setting everything allame, and firsi lifting these cities high inl air' and thlei dashing them down in chaisms fatholn less. The fires of that 'ription inter shot, the dense smoke aId -olled lunt the heavens, only to descend again And all the conligutration of that conn try was changed, and where there waq a hill there came a valley, and where there had been the poip of iuclean ness caie widespread desolation. Tli, red hot spade of volcanic action hii,, shoveled under the cities of' the plain l3efore thle catasltropheli thei citie's stood~ oin the top of the salt and sulphur. After the cat.astrophe they wer'e undei the salt and sulphur. Science right: Ilevelation right. "Ie toucheth thi hills and they smoke." .No scienceiever frightened believers in Revelation so much as geology. TIhey feared that the strata of the earth would contradict the Scripltures, and then Moses must go uinder'. Blut as in the l)eadl sea instance so in all cases God's wvriting on the earth andl G od's writing in the Blible are harmo nious. TIhe shelves of rock correspondl with the shelve's of the A merican Biible society. Science digs into the earth and( fiinds (deep down the remair.s ol pilanits and so the lI ible announces pilants first. Science (dig dlowni andl says "'alinle an ini s next,'' anrd thc l idbe says, "'Marnem animals next.' Science dligs down and11 says, "LI and ani in als niextI," an d the' liile responds, "L andt aiinmls next." "Then comeic lnan!" says scien1ce. "T'heni c.omer man!"' re(sponlds the Iliile. Science d igt into the regions abouit the 1 )ead sea andl fiinds result (of fire and masse's 0: bri uistone, and ann1o0unfces a woniderfu1i geological fortnat ion. "O h, yes," say: the Bible, "Alos" wr'ote thousanos 01 years ago, ''Thie Lord ra ied upon01 Sod om an upon GIJo mor 1)0'rail bri mst.one an( lire mIot the L.ord out of heaven,' anl( lhavid wr'tett. 'lie touichieth the hills anm they sinoke.'" So I guess we w'lhl h on to oltr liibles a lit tIe longer.

That e'arthqjuake~ whiicl shook all Amilerica about six or sever stunmfIers ago was only the ravini around of volcanoca rushing against the sidels of1 t heir' ro)ky' caverns trying to bre'ak otit. Tlhey mullst come to th4 surface, but it will be at the divine caill T hey seemn re'servedl for t.he punishmiieni of ono' kind of sin. 'The seven citleu they have oliterated Were celebrat( 1'or one kind o.f transgression. Prolli gacy wals tile chief chlar'acteristic (of th< seven cities over whinhin hey put .he. smothering wing: Pompeii, Hercula. neum, Stabite, Adma, Zeboim, Sodom and Gomorrah. If our American cities do not quit their profligacy, if in high life and low life dissoluteness does not cease to be a joke and become a crime, if wealthy libertinism continues to find so many doors of domestic life open to its faint est touch, if Russian and French and American literature steeped l prurien cy does not get banished from the news stands and ladies' parlors, God will let loose some of these suppressed mon sters of the earth. And I tell these American cities that it will be more tolerable for Sodom and GomorraI in the (lay of judgment, whether that day of judgment be in this present cen tury or in the closing century of the earth's continuance. The 'volcanic forces are already in existence. but in the mercy of God they are chained in the kennels of subterraneous fire. Yet let profligacy, whether it stagger into a lazaretto, or sit on a commercial throne, whether it laugh inl a faded shawl un der the street gas light or to be wrap ped in the finest array that foreign loom ever wrought or lapidary ever impearled, know right well that there is a volcano waiting for it, whether in domestic life, or social life, or political life, or in the foundations of the earth from which sprang out the devastations that swallowed the cities of the plain. "He toucheth the hills and they smoke." But the dragoman was rejoiced when we had seen enough of this volcanic re gion 01 Palestine, anid he gladily tiazht ens the girths for another march arouinl the horses which are prancing and neighing for departure. We are off for the Jordan, only two hours away. We pass Bedouins whose stern features melt into a smile as we give them the salutation Salaam Aleikoumn, "Peace be with you," their smile sometimes leaving us in doubt as to whether it is I caused by their gladness to see us or by our poor pronminciation of the Ara bic. Oh, they are a strange race, those Bedouins. Such a commingling of rullianism and honor, of cowadice and courage, of cruelty and kindness! When a band of then came (own upon a party in which 'Miss Whately was trav eling, and were about to take pocket books and perhaps life, this lady sitting upon her horse took out her note book and pencil and began to sketch these brigands, and seeing this composure the bandits thought it something su pernatural and fled. Christian woman liness or manliness is all conquering. When Martin Luther was told that .)uke George would kill him if lie went to Leipsic Luther replied, "I woild go to Leipsic if it rained Duke Georges nine days." FIlHST VIEW OF TiE .lOnDAN. Now we come through regious where there are hills cut into the shape of ca thedrals, with altar and coluin and arch and chancel and pulpit and dome and arcliftectire of the rocks that I think can hardly just happen so. Per haps it is because God loves the church so well, lie builds in th . solitudes t Yellowstone park and Yosemite and Switzerland and Palestine these eceles iastical piles. And who knows but that inseen spirits inay sometimes worshi p there ? "Dragoman, when shall we see the ,Jordan ?" I ask. All the time we were oi the alert. and loiking through tamari ik and willows for the greatest river of all the earth. The Mississippi is willer, the Ohio is deep er, t lie A mazon is longer, the I Iudson rolls amid regions more picturesque, the intianes has more splendor on its banks, the Tibir suggests more iipe rial procession, the Ilyssus has more classie memories, and the Nile feeds ,greater populations by its irrigation, but, the ,lordan is the queen of rivers, and runs through all the Bible, a silver thre-id strung like Leads wih l heroics and be fore night we shalh m eet. on its banks Elijah and EClisha anmd Da)vid antiI ,J aeon and ,Joshua andl. lihn amnd ,J esus. At last betwveen two trees I got a glimpse of a river and said, "Whait is t.hat ?" "2The ,Jordan," was the <iu Ic k reply. And all alongr the line which had been lengthened by other pilgrims, somno fronm America, and ronme from ECurope, and somie f rom Asia, the cry wvas sounded "The ,Jordan ! Th'le ,Jor dIan!'' llund reds of thousands of pi I grims have chanted on its banks and( bathed in its wvaters.
