T. DeWitt Talmage ehoso for his subject. "From Ocean to Ocean, or My ( Transcontinentai Journey." Text: Psalms c lxxii. S: "Ho shall have dominion from sea j to sea." The eloquent divine spoke as fol- t lows: f What two seas are referred to? Some ? might say that tie text meant that Christ t was to reign o\er all the laud between the j Arabian Be., and Caspian Sea. or between ] the lied Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, or ? between the Black Sea and the North Sea. j No; in such cases my text would havenamed \ them. It meant from any large body of water on the earth clear across to any other ? large body of water. And so I have a right 2 to read it: lie shall havodoiniuion from tho t Atlantic Sea to the Pacific Sea. My theme s is: America for God! j First, consider the immensity of this pos- j session. If it were only a small tract of \ laud capable of nothing better than sage j brush and with ability only to support j prairie dogs, I should not have much en- t thusiasm in wanting Christ to have it added j to His dominion.* Hut its itninensitMiniU(Bfe ^ ? liuence 110 one can imagine unless imjjf^ 5, grant wagon or stage coach or in r#l t of the Union Pacific or the Northern Pacific n or the Canadian Pacific or the Southern Pa- t cilic, he has traversed it. Having been s privileged six times to cross this continent, ?. and twice this summer, I havceomo to some ^ appreciation of its magnitude. California, which I supposed.in boyhood from its size j, on the map, was a few yards across, a ridge j, of land 011 which one must walk cautiously r lest he hit his head against the Sierra Neva- p da on the one side or slip off into the Pa- v cifio waters on the other; California, the v thin slice of land as I supposed it to be in my boyhood. I have found to be larger j( than all the States of New England and all v New York State and ail Pennsylvania j, added together; and if you add theui to- p get her their square miles full far short of ^ California. North at^J fck'Ulb fjj tana, and Washington Territory, to be T launched next winter into statehood, will a be giants at their birth. Let the Congress s of the United States strain a point and soon j( admit also Idaho and Wyoming and New j Mexico. What is the use keeping them out n in the cold any longer? Lot us have the y whole continent divide^ ^to .States j Senatorial and Congr&Sibhal *P^rai&<;rita-* 0' tives and wo will all be happy together. If some of them have not quite the requisite y number of people, lix up the Constitution to ^ suit these cases. Even Utah will by dropping 0 polygamy soon be ready to enter. Monogamy has triumphed in parts of Utah and will u probably triumph at this fall election in v Salt Lake City. Turn all the Territories j, into States and if some of the sisters are p smaller than the elder sisters, givo them ^ timo and they will sooji be as .Igrge as $rny.:- 5 of them. Because some of the daughters tl of a family may be live feet in stature and 0 the others only four feet, do not let the 0 daughters five foot high shut the door iu t] the faces of thoso who are only four feot v high. Among the dying utterances of our <j good friend, the wise statc^a* pip d,-great-, -p author, the brilliant orutor anu magnificent1 ^ soul, S. S. Cox, was the expressed deter- p mination to move next winter in Congress c lor the transference of otli^TertitOPlfed" j into States. ?>, ^ "But," says some one, "in calculating'tfrd j. immensity of our continental acreage .VQWi must remember that vast reaches of oiir' ^ public domain arc uncultivated heajpj ef^; dry sand, and the 'bad lands' of Montana jj ae44he great American desert." I am glad g 3'ou mentioned that. Within twenty-five years th?re^will not be between the Atlan- c tic aud racific coasts a hundred miles of c land not reclaimed either by farmer's plow s or'miners' crowbar, hy irrigation, the g waters of the rivers and the showers of s heaven in what are called the rainy season u will be gathered into great reservoirs and 0 through aqueducts let down where and a when tire people want them. Utah is an ob- j Ject lesson. Some parts of that Territory c which were so barren that a spear of grass a could not have been raised thero in a hun- ^ dred years are now rich as Lancaster County g farms of Pennsylvania, or Westchester ? farms >f New York, or Somerset County farms of New Jersey. ? Exp3rimentsliave proved that ton acres of t ground irrigated from waters gathered in t great hydvological basins will produco as j much as fifty acres from the downpour of ( rain as seen in our regions. We have our E freshets and our droughts, but in those s lands which are to be scientifically irrigated a there will be neither freshets nor droughts.^ 1 j As you take a pitcher and get it full of a water and then set it on a table and take a { drink out of it when you are thirsty, and t never think of driuking a pitcherful all at ^ once, so Montana and Wyoming and Idaho s will catch the rains of their rainy season : . --and take up all the waters of their rivers in \ great pitchers of reservoirs and drink out ? of them whenever they will, and refresh i their land whenever t hey will. 1 The work has already been grandly begun s by the United States Government. Over ( knnriMwl lol/na huvn 'ilrunfK' hf?r>n nffl daily taken possession ofijby the nation <0V j the great enterprise o^rr^j^n^ ^?jrejg[ j that have been rolling itlfv flmmgnthesc ro- j pions, doing nothing on their way to the sea, j will be lassoed and corralled and penned up i until such time as the fanners need them. ] Under the same processes the Ohio, the Mis , sissippi and all the other rivers will be , taught to behave themselves bettor, aud ] great basins will be made to catch the sur- ] plus of waters in times of freshet and keep , them for times of drought. The irrigating | process by which all the arid lands between i the Atlantic and Pucilicoeeans are to be for- < rilized is no new experiment. It has been ? f oing on successfully hundreds of years in , Spain, in China, in India, iu ltussia, in j Lgypt. j About eight hundred million of people of ] Jhe earth to day are kept alive by food j raised on irrigated laud. And here we have 1 allowed to lie waste, given up to rattlesnake , end bat and prairie dog. lands enough to Mipport whole nations of industrious popu- , lation. The work begun will be consum- | mated. Here and there exceptional lands i may be stubborn and refuse to yield any wheat or coru from their hard lists, but if tne hoc fail to make an impression, the miner's pick-axe will discover the reason^ Tor it and bring up from beneath ^ productive surfaces coal and iron, anulemi knd copper, and silver and gold. Hod speed the geologists and the surveyors, the engineers and the Senatorial commissions, and the capitalists and the new settlers, and the husbandmen who put thoir brain aud hand ?1 ? ?? ftiiu tr:mstieuration of the UUU I KOli IV American continent! But while J speak of the immensity of the continent, 1 must remark it is not an immensity of monotone or tamencss. The larger some countries are the worse for the world. This cnntiucut is not more remark able for its magnitude than for its wouders of construction. What a pity the United States Government did not take possession of Yosemite, Cal., as it has of Yellowstone, Wyrmiug, and of Niagara Falls, New York! Yos9mite and the adjoining California regions! "Who that has seen them can think of them without having his blood tingle! Trees now standing there that were old when Christ lived.

And thoso rainbows look now like the crowns to be cast at his foot. At tho bottom of this great canyon is a floor on which the nations of tho earth might stand, and all up and down these galleries of rock the nations of heaven might sit. And what reverberation of archangels' trumpet there would be through all these gorges and from all jthose caverns and all these heights. Why should not tho greatest of all the days the world shall over sec close amid the grandest scenery Omnipotence ever built! O, the sweep of the American continent! Bailing up Puget Sound, its shores so bold thut for fifteen hundred miles a ship's prow would touch tho shore boforo its iceei touched the bottom, I said: "This is the Mediterranean of America." Visiting Portlaud and Taccmu and Seattle and Victoria and Fort Townsend and Vancouver's and other cities of that Northwest region, I thought to myself: These are the Bostons, New Yorks, Charlestons, and Savannuhs of tluvPacifio Coast. But after all this sutnjourneying and my other journeys wfcfRRvard in other summers, I found th.it I had seen only a part of the American continent, for Alaska is as far west of San Francisco as tho coast of Maine is oast of it, so that the central city of the American conti nent is Sau Francisco. 1 huvo said these things about the magnitude of the contiuent and given you a few specimens of some of its wonders to let you know the comprehensiveness of the text when it says that Christ is going to have dominion from sea to sea; that is, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Reside that, the salvation of this continent means the salvation of Asia, for wo are only thirty-six miles from Asia at tho Northwest. Only Beliring Straits separates us from Asia, and these will be spanned by a great bridge bofoye another, eetffury closes, and probably Ibftg1 before tnaff The thirty-six miles of water between these two continents arc not at all deep sea, but have threo islands, and thero are also shoals which will allow piers for bridges, and for the most of the way the water is only about twenty fathoms dcop. The Americo-Asiatic bridge which will yet span {those straits will make America, rAsigJ JEujgppitji^Africa one continent. So you see Amprictrevangelized, Asia will be evangelized. Europe taking Asia from one side and America taking it from the other side. Our great grandchildren will cross that bridgo. America and Asia and Europe all one, what subtraction from the pangs of seas'ekness! and the prophecies in Revclatiou will bo fulfilled, "There shall be no more sea." But do 1 mean literally that this American continent is going to be af. gospeliz^df. I.^lo.

F<a<Wlakfc?eflSi{A*1l protest against something I heart ^and, s^v this summer and other tunithbrirfn ifbntana and Oregon and Wyomipg andjd^ho pnd Colorado and C'ali fornia. Aeyhaive given devllistic names to many places-i|}jtb?ii?C^9t and Northwest. As soon as you get in Yellowstone Park #b CalifbrhSR.TWu have pointed out to you pjaoes cursed with such names as "The Cecil's ^nde/' "The Devil's Kitchen,'' "The. .ncviil's filhumb." "The Devil's Pul-. pit*"'" TWirdevil's Mush Pot," "The Devil's Te^ ^et^la'V'-Jbe Devil's Saw Mill," "Tlie Devil's Machine Shop," "The Devil's Gate," and so on. Now it is very much needed that the geological surveyor or Cou gressional committee or group of distinguished tourists go through Montana and Wyoming and California and Colorado and give other names to these places. All those regions belong to tbo Lord and to a Christian nation, aud away with such Plutonic nomenclature. Hut how is this continent to be gospelized? The pulpit and the Christian printing press harnessed together will bo the mightiest team for the first plow. Not by the power of cold, forinalistic theology, not oy ecclesiastical technicalities. I am sick of them and the world is sick of them. But it will be done by the warui-hearted, sympathetic presentation of the fact that Christ Is roady to pardon all our sins and heal all our wounds and save us both for this world and the next. Let your religion of glaciers crack off and fall into tho Gulf stream and get melted. Take all your creeds of all donominations and dropout of them all human phraseology and putin only scriptural phraseology and you will see how quick tho people will jump after them, s ,Oa4he CoUijnjju&tiver a few days ago we aawiltefc&ihan fcunp clear out of the water in different places, 1 supposo for the pur pose vf getting the insects. And if when we want to fish for men we could only have the right kind of bait, thoy will spring ut above the hood of their siiis and sorrows to reach It. The Young Men -? Christian Associations of America will also do part of the work. All over the contiuent I saw this summer their new buildings arising. In Vancouver's 1 asked: "What are you going to put on that sightly place f" Tho answer was: "A Yonug Men's Christian Association building.'' At Lincoln, Neb., I said: "Whatarc they making thoso excavations for?" Answer: "For our Young Men's Christian Association buildiug." At Dos Moines, la., I saw a noble structure rising, and I asked for what purpose it was being built, and they told me for the Young Men's Christian Association. These institutions are going to take the young men of this nation for God. Thoso institutions seem in better favor with God and man than ever before. Business men and capitalists are awaking to the fact that they can do nothing better in the way of livings.beyeficencc or in last, will and testa* stncntj thqfr' to do what Mr. Murquand did for Brooklyn when ho made our Young Men's Christian l'alaeo possi. ltlo. These institutions will get. our young tnen all over the land into a stampede for Heaven. Thus we will all in some way help on the work, with your ten talents, I with five, somebody else with threo. It is estimated that to irrigate thearidand desert lands of America as they ought to be irrigated it will cost about one hundred million dollars to gather the waters into reservoirs. As much contribution and efTort as that would irrigate with gospel influences all the waste places of this continent. Let us by prayer and contribution and right living all help to fill the reservoirs. You1 will carry a bucket and you a cup, and even a thimbleful would help. And after a whilo God will send the floods of mercy so gathered, pouring down over all the land, and some ol us on earth and some of us iti Hoavon will sing with Isaiah: "In the wilderness waters have broken out and streams iti the desert," and with David: "There is a rivoi the streams whereof shall make glad the sight of God."
