In his recent sermon at the Brooklyn Tab- x
crnacle, Kev. 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

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 ^

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!

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

As soon as you get in Yellowstone Park
#b CalifbrhSR.TWu have pointed out to you
pjaoes cursed with such names as "The

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,

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

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*

did for Brooklyn when ho made 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
