Talmage preached the twelfth sermon of his series on Palest-ine and t he :i1 joining countries. I)r. Talinage an nounced as his text 'salmll iv. Ifl,"ThI' cedars of Lebanon which hv hath planted," and preached tho tollo wing sermon: In our journey we change stirrup for wheel. It is 4 o'clock in the morniing at Damascus, Syria, and we are among the lanterns of the hostelry naiLlrog for the stage tostairt. A Mohnneda n in high life is putting his three wives on board within an apatinent b)y themselves, and our party occupy the main apartment of one of the most nn comfortable v hicles in which mortals were (ver jammed and half strangt lAted. Eut we nust not let the dis comforts anutl or disparage the op portinities. We are rolling out amst up the Inounitails of Lebanonl. their forehead under a crown of sow. which coronet the fingers of the lott(st sum mer cannot cast (own. CLInING"1 UP LIFIANON. We are ascending heights arouid which is garlanded nitch of the fincst poesy of the Scriptures, and are rising toward the mightiest dominion that botany ever recognized, rt-igned over by the most imperial tree that. ever swayed a leafy scepter-the Lebanon ce-lar; a tree eAlogized in my text as having grown from a nut put into the ground by God himself, and no humian and, had anything to do with its planting: "The trees of Lvbanon which he hath planted." The averaie height of this mouin tain is seven thousand feet, It in one place It lifts its head to an altitude of ten thousand. No higher than six thousand feet. can vegetation exist, but below that. line at the right sea.,i are vineyards and orchardA and oli vo groves and flowers t hat dash the inoun tain side wit h a very carnage of color and fill the air with arom,a.ies thart Hosea, the prophet, and Solonmon, I le king, celebrated as "the smell of Le banon." At a height of six thousand feet is a grove of cedars, the only de scendants of those vast fore sts from which Solomon cut his timber for the temple of Jerutsalem, axnd wherv at one time there were one hundred tlhousand axmen hewing out the beamis irom which great cities were constructed. But this nation of trees has by human iconoclasm heen massacred u'ntil only a small group is left. rhis race of giants is nParly extinct, butt I hav,1Ne no doubt that some of these were here when Hiram, king of Tyre, ordered the assassination of those cedars of L banon which the Lord planted. From the multitude of uses to which iti maty be put and the employment of it in the Scriptures, the cedar Is the divine favorite. When the plains to be seen from the window of this stage in which we ride to-day are parched unde-r siuli mer heats, and not a grass blade sur vives the fervidity, this tree st iis i n luxuriance, defying the suminer sun. And when the storms of winter trrri fV the earth and hurl the rocks in ava lanche down this mountain side, this tree grapples the hurricane of Mnow in triumph and leaves tie spent fury at AIts feet. From sixty to eighty feet high are they, the horizont al bracnches of great sweep, wvith their beurden of leaves needle shaped, the 1top of the tree pyramidal, a thlrone of foliage (an which might ande~ splendor andl glory slt. But so continuously has the ex termination of t rees gone on that for the most part the mountains oif Le banon are bare of foliage, while, I am1 sorry to aaytthe earth in all lacrais is being likewi ir den uded.

The ax Is '9 "y- the 'fore-sts all round the earthlyorto stop the slaueghl ter God ope-nedl the coal mninec of Encg -land and Scotland and Amerie- nita the world, praictically saying by tlu:c, Helere is fuel; as far as posible)1 let. iny trees alone-." And by openingil for the human race the great (tuarries ol' granite and showing the heumian famci ly how to make brick, God is pcract i cally saying, "JIere is building nmuate rial; let my trees alone."

Whcen, not long th fore his death,lIsaw on tie braniks of the Hudson in his glazedo cap, riding on hlorse-basck, George P. Alorris, ice g- -act song writer of America, I tfounde iWi grandhy emotional, and I couhld ucidec stand how he wrote "W'oodmanr, acjare - that tree!" the v'erses of %hich manely ol us have felt like quotineg in belligerernt ~pirit, when under thle cclroke of some .One witheout senese or reasoni we saw a beautiful trf e prostrate-d: WOod Mal, parei t trete!

As we rode along on these the moun tains o)(f Lebanon. we bo-think how its cv.larn spread their k ranches and bruathe tlil- atoma awl cast their hidows all through the Bible. Solo 1t)on discursmil 0biout. thn in his bo- I taitial w(irk, V. lien he, spoke of trees "ft tii l he vt ,r Lhat is in L ebanon even unto the hyssop t hat, springeth out of the wall." Th Psalmist says, "The righteous :hall grow like a cedar in Labalnon," andit in Mnte of his magni icent diox,og ies calls on the -edars to piaise th Lord. And Solomon says the' counit--aice of Chris. is excellent as ti- 'cdars, atid Istiah declares, "The day of1, the Lord shall be upo1 all the celars of Lebanon." And .Jeremiah ld Ezekiel and Amos and Zephaniahl and Zechariah weave its foliage into their sitel)ttst litteraices. ri As vre ri dt over I.elanon to-day there is a howling wilal sweeping past and a th.sh of ram, all the better enabling us to appreciat. that de!cription of a tenimpest which no doubt was suggested f by what )avil hia seen wit,h his own eyes ami;r these heightts, for as a sol dier lie carried his wars clear up to t Damascus, and such a poet as he, I warr.ant, spent manly a day onl the Le- c banon. And lerhalps while he was seatId ,:1 ti vry rock against which ( our carriage jolts, it, writes that won derful description of a thunder storm: "The voice of the Lord Is powerful. The voice of the Lord is ftll of majes- r tv. The voice of the Lord breaketh the edzhrs of 1Lbaion. Yea, the Lord j breaketh the ced;trs of Lebanon, Ile t italt--th thmin also to skip like a calf, '1 L-ban iand Sirin like a young uni- v corn. The voict! of the Lvrd divitdeth t I the 0-nmes of lire." As the lion is Ithe monarch of thn t liIdIs and lwhemoth the monarch of the t(waters, ti odar is the monarch of the t rce-. And I think one reason why c it is ::o vl(lriiled all tip and down the 1 Iiblo is because we need more of its I characteristic.- iII our religious life. I We have too tmuch of the willow, and are easilv heitr this way or that; too much of I he as,u, aul we tremble tin dor-e very zephy.r of a5sault; too much of the bramblo tree. and our sharp points sting and woiid, bit not enough of i the ce!dar, wide brauched and heaven aspiring and t-iimpest grappling. But the reason these cedars stand so well is that they are deep rooted. They run their anohors down into the caverns of r the miotintain wnid fasten to tile very fotidatious of the earth, and twist around and clinch themselves filn t i* other side of the deepest, layer of rocit they can reach. And that is the differ -iice lwNvetn Christians who stand and 1 Chlristis who fall.
