A SONG OF LOVE TIME.
Sing a song of love-time
All the world is light;
Ripple on the river
And the stars a-shining bright.
Sing a song of love-time
All the world is sweet:
Rainbows round the heavens
Lilies at your feet:
Si.; a song of love-time
Sorrow in eclipse -
Rosy children climbing
To the leaning of your lip;'
Sing a song or love-time
Sing it-sing it, birds!
Set the sweetest music
To the sweetest human words!
Sing a song of love-time
All the world made new;
And a heaven tnat is nearer
Than the heaven in the blue!
JONAH IN THE STORM.
Dr. Tainage on the Ne Cesity o Prayer
With Work.
BRooKLYN, Oct. 14.-Rtv. Dr. Tal
mage, who is still absent on his round
the world tour, has selected as the sub
ject bf today's sermon through the press
"The Oarsmen Defeated," the text
chosen beng Jonah i, 13.14, "The men
rowed h'rd to bring it to the land, but
they could not, where!ore they cried
unto the Lord."
Navigation in the Meailerranean sea
always was perious, especially so in t
early times. Vessels were pronelled
partly by sail and partly by oar. When,
by reason of great stress of weather, it d
was necessary to reef thc canvass or t
haul it in, then the vessel was entirely u
dependent upon the oars, sometimes 20
or 30 of them on either side the vessel.
You would not venture outside your i
harbor with such a craft as my text c
finds Jonah sailing in, but he had not
much choice of vessels. He was run
ning away from the Lord, and when a
man is running away trom the Lord he
has to ran very fast.
God told Jonah to go to Ninevah to
preach about the destruction of that city.- b
Jonah dlsooeyed. That always makes i
rough water, whether in the Meditterra- e
nean, or the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or
the Caspian sea. It is avery hard thing
to scare sailors. I have seen them when
the brew of the vessel was almost un
der water, and they were walking the
deck knee deep in the surt, and the
small boats by the side of the vessel had
been crushed as small as kmdling wood,
whistling as though nothing had happen- t
ed, but the Bible says that these mari
iners of whom I speak were frightened.
That which sdors call "a lump of a
sea" had become a blinding, deafening, L
swamping fury. How mad the wind 9
can get at the water, and the water can c
get at the wind, you do not know unless
you have been spectators. I have in my
house a piece of the sail of a ship no r
larger than the palm of my hand. That I
piece of canvas was all that was lett of
the largest sail of the ship Greece that
went into the storm 200 miles cff New
foundland. Oh, what a night that waE!
I suppose that it was in some such
storm as this that Jonah was caught.
He knew that the tempest was on his
account, and he asked the sailors to 1
-throw him overboard. Sailors are a
generous heartea race, and they re
solved to make their escape if possible
-without resorting to such extreme meas
urea. The sails are of no use and so
they lay hold on their oars. I see the
long bank of shining blades on either
side of the vessel. Oh, how they did
pull, the bronzed seamen, as they laid
back into the oars! But rowing on the
sea is very diflerent from rowing upon a
river, and as the vessel hoists the oars
skip the wave and miss the stroke, and
the tempest laughs to scorn the flying
paddles. It is of no use, no use. There
cornes a wave that crashes the last mast
and sweeps the oarsmen from their
places and tumbles everything in the
confusion of the impending shipwreck,
or, as my text has it, "The men rowed
hard to bring it to land, but they cculd
not, wherefore they cried unto the Lord"
This scene is very suggestive to me,
and Ipray GodlImay have graeand
strength enough to represent it intelhi
gently to you. Years ago I preached
a sermon on another phase of this very
subject, and I got a letter from Hous
ton, Tex., the writer saying that the
reading of that sermon in London had
led him to God. And I received an.
other from South Australia saying that1
the reading of that sermon in Australia
-had brought several souls to Christ.
And then I thought, Why not take
another phase of the same subject, for1
perhaps that God who can raise in power3
that which is sown in weakness may
now through another phase of the same
subject bring salvation to the peonle
who shall hear and salvation to the peo
yle who shall read? Men and women1
who know how to pray lay hold of the1
Lord God Almighty and wrestle for the
blessing.
Bishop Latimer would stop some
times in his sermon ini the midst of his
argumnent and say, "Now E will tell you
a fable," and today I would like to
bring the scene of the text as an illustra
tion of a most important religious truth.
As those Mediterranean oarsmen trying
to bring Jonah ashore were discomfited,
I have to tell you that they were not the
only men who have broken down on
their paddles and have been obliged to
call on the Lord for help. I want to say
that the unavailing efforts of those Med
iterranean oarsmen have a counterpart
in the efforts we are making to bring
souls to the shore of safety and set their
feet on the rock of ages. You have a
father or mother or husband or wife or
child or near friend who is not a Chris
tian. There have been times when you
have been in agony about their salva
tion.
A minister of Christ whose wife was
dying without any hope in Jesus walked
the fl'or, wrung his hands, cried bitterly
and said, "I believe I shall go insane,
for I know she is not prepared to meet
God!" And there may have been days
of sickness in your household when you
eared it would be a fatal sickness, and
how closely you examined the face of 1
the doctor as he came in and scrutinized I
the patient and felt the pulse, and you:
followed him into the next room, and1
said, "There isn't any danger, is there,
doctor?" And the, hesitation and the 7
uncertainty of the reply made two eter- 3
nities flash before your vision. And
then you went and talked to the sick<
one about the great future. Oh, there I
are those here who have tried to bring I
their friends to God. They have been:
unable to bring them to the shore of
safety. They are no nearer that point
than they were 20 years ago. You.
think you have got them almost to the 1
shore when you are swept bsck again.
What shall you do? -Put down the oani?
Oh, no! I do not advise that, but I do<
advise that you appeal to tnat God to 1
whom the Mediterranean oarsmen ap- I
pealed, the God who ecuid silence the
tempest and bring the ship in safety to
the port. I tell you, my friends, that:
there has got to be a good deal cf praying
before cur families are brought to Christ,.
Ah, it is an awful thing to have half a]
household on one side the line and the
other part of the household on the other<
side of the line. Two vessels part on<
the shore of eternity, one going to the
right and the other to the left, farther
apart and farther apart until the signalsi
cease to be recognized, and there are
only two spects on the harizon, an~d
then they are lost to sight forever.
I have to tell you that the unavailing
efforts cf these Mediterranean oarsmen
h..m a counterpart- in the efforts some of 1
.3 are Mag2e to bnu Cur chilren to
he shore of si-rzy. There never were
omany temts los for ,oung people
s there a-e noW. Tie literary and the
ocial a l ieit s seem to be agaiust their
taitual intErest. Christ seems to be
r-ven almost entirely from the school
xnd the pleaurable couccurse, yet God
anows hriw anxious we are for our chil
Iren. We cannot think of going into
.eaven witb(ut tLem. We do not want
o leave this li-e while they are tossing
>n the waves ot temptation and away
rom God. 'Forr. which of them could
we consent to ,e eternally separated?
would it be the son? Wo.uld it be the
laugihter? Wruld it be the eldest? Would
t be the iounesi? Would it be the one
bat is well and stout or the one that is
ic? Oh, I bear some p;arent saying
onight: "I have tried my test to bring
ny children to Ch; i-:. I hav !aid hold
;t the oars u:.ti 2-ev be:: mM vrasp,
md I havs brec! ms elf :.s the
-bs of the boat, nd I b.ve pulled tcr
heir eternal rescue, b tIcbn'1 2et them
0 Christ." Then [ ask you to imitate
he men of the text and cry mightily
mito God. We want more importunate
)raying for children 2aso:: as the father
ndulged in when ho had tried to bring
us six sons to Christ, and they had
vandered cff mrto d:ssipation. Then he
iot down m his praers ac' sa d, "0
cd. take away nmy lfe if thiough that
eans my sons may repent and be
rought to Cbrist," and the Lord start.
togly answered the prayer, and in a iew
eeks the father was taken away, and
brough the solemnity tte six sons fi:d
nto God. 0, that father could aftord
o die for the eternal welfare of his chil -
ren! He rowed hard to bring them to
he land, but could not, and then he cried
to the Lord.
There are parents who are almost dis
ouraged about their children. Where

if perhaps to the ends of the earth. It

They are not happy till they see
Tneir children happy too.
Again I remark that the unavailing
df ort of the Mediterranean oarsmen has
cunterpart in the effort which we are
naking to bring this world oack. to God,
uis pardon and safety. If this world
ould have been saved by human efforl
s would have been done long ago. Joh2
loward took hold of one oar, and Carey
ook hold of another oar, and Adoniram
rmson took hold of another oar, and
.uther took hold of another oa-, and
rohn Knox took hold si another oar, and
hey all pulled until they fell back dead
rom exhaustion. Some dropped in the
ish~es of martyrdom, some on the scalp
og knives ot savages and some into the
~lague struck room of the lsiaretto, and
itill the chains are not broxen and
;till the worldlis unsaved. What ther:?
ut down the oars and make no eftfort?
do not advise that. But I want you,
Jhristian brethren, to understand that
he church, and the school, and the col
ege, and the missionary society are only
he nstrumentalities, and if this work is
~ver done at all God must do it, and he
ill do it in answer to our prayer. "They
owed hard to bring it to the land, but
ey cou'd not, wherefore thsy cried
mto the Lord."
Again the unavailing effoit of those
editerranean oarsmen has a counter
art in every man that is trying to row
is own soul into safety. When the
sternal spirit flashes upon us our condi
lon, we try to save ourselves. We say,
Give me a stout oar for my right hand,
~ive me a stout oar for my left hand, and
[ will pull myself into safety." No. A
ave of sin comes and dashes you one
ay, and a wave of temptation comes
mrd dashes you in another way, and
~here are plenty of rocks on which to
ounder, but seemingly no harbor into
which to sail. Sin must be thrown over
yoard, or we must perish.
There are men who have tried~ifor
rears to become Christiahs. They be
ieve all I say in regard to a future world.
Lhey believe that religion is the first,
he last, the infinite necessity. They do
verything hut trust in Christ. They
nake 60 strokes in a minute. They
end forward with all earnestness, and
hey lie back until the muscles are dis
nded, and yet they have not made one
ch in ten years coward heaven. What
s the reason? That :s not the way to
o to work. You might as well take a
rail skiff, and put it down at the foot of
Wisgara and then head it up towaed the
>urning thunderbolt of waters and ex
>ect to work your way up through the
ightning of the foam into calm Lake
rie, as for you try .to pull yourself
rough the surf of your sin into hope
nd pardon and placidity of the gospel.
Eou cannot do it in that way. San is a
ough sea, and l'ongboat, yawl, pinnance
nd gondola go down unless the Lord
eliver, but if you will cry to Christ and
ay hold of divine mercy you are as sale
rom eternal condemnation as though
ou had been 20 years in heaven.
1 wish I could put before my unpar
oned readers their own belplessness.
t~o human arm was ever strong enough
unlock the door ot heaven. No foot

'rove it, you say. I will prove it. John
1, 44: "No man can come to me, ex
ept the Father which hath sent me
Iraw him."
Butw hils I have shown your helpless

Ihe captain had his son with him, and
iith the crew they wandered up the

by reason of hunter and the length of

"Carry my boy for me on your should

i 'rney was so long that after awhile
the crew fainted from hunger and from
weariness and could carry him no longer.
Then the father rallied his almost wasted
energy and took up his o vn boy and put
him on his eh->ulder and carried him on
mile atter mile, mile after mile.
until cvercome h mself by bunoer and
wa:iness, he, too. fainted by the way.
The boy lay down aLd died, and the fa

ions, 3 ou see, chiefly from the water-. I
remember that a vessel went to piezes
on the Bermudas a great many years
ago. It bad a vast treasure on board.
But the Vessel being sunk, no effort was
made t raise it. After many years
bad passed a company of adventurers
went out from Eagland, and after a long
voyage they reached the place where
the vessel was snia to have sunk. They
,ot into a small boat and hovered over
the place. Then the divers went down,
and they broke through what loaked Lke
a limestone covering, and Lhe treasures
rolled cut-what was found afterward
to be. in American money, worthy $1,
500,000, and the founda-ion of a great
business house. At that tims the whle
world rej iced over what was called the
lu:k of thsse adventurers. Oh, ye who
have been rowing toward the shore and
have not been able to reach it, I want to
tell you tonight that your boat hovers
over intinite treisure. All the riches of
God are at your feet. Ti easures that
never fal and crowns that never gro f
dim. Who wiil go down now and see
them? Who will dive fo: the pearl of
geat price? Who will be prepared far
life, for death, for judgment, for the long
eternity ? See two hands of blood stretch
ed out towacd thy soul, as Jesus says,
"Comne unto me, all ye that labor antd
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest."

Senator F..u'kaer I 'sass a Harmony Ap
peal to Democrats.
NE W YORK, Ofl. 16. -The folio wing
appeal was issued today at the Demo
cratic State headquarters in the Park
Avenue Hotel by Senator Charles J.
Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic
Congressional campaign committee:
Forty days ago, by raason of the dis
satisfaction at the slow action of Con
gress in passing the tariff bill, and a
very general misunderstanding of the
character of the bill which was ulti
mately passed, we had but little hope
o carryIng a majority of the Fifty
fourth Congress. The political im
provement of the situation in the inter
est of Democracy during that brief
period, however, has been marvelous.
A better understanding of the provis
ons of the la w and a realfz ation of the
fact that united action Is essential in
order to enable the party to redeem Its
pledges and hold up the hands of the
Democratic administration during the
next two years has stopped the bicker
ings which were dividing its counsels
and harmonized the factional trouble
in ts organiz atio'n to such an extet
that the prospects are now bright and
with a united and aggressive party we
will hold a fair working majority in
the next House. To accomplish this,
however, we can afford to have no
divisions which tend to separate and
disintegrate our forces.
You can, therefore, fully appreciate
the anxiety which I feel In reference
to the recent action In this city in the
nominations in eight of the districts of
two Democratic candidates. In esti
mating oir ability to maintain a work
ing majority we have necessarily count
ed upon the New York Democracy giv
ing us the full number of members we
have In the present House. If we fall
in realizing this, it is questionable
whether it will be possible to maintain
our supremacy in the national legisla
tu~re. These divisions in New York are
not only dangerous from the stand
point of losing a majority of members
L:1 this State, Dut the moral effect upon
the country districts of Ne w York and
other sections of the Union will be ex
eedngly discouraging. It will tend
to shake the hope and paralzye the
energies of the party in its earnest
effort to sink all personal feelings and
factional antagonisms in tne interest
of a common cause. Whatever may be
the differences which may divide the
party upon local issues, there can be,
mnd should be. no excuse for a division
on national lines. The supremacy of
he national Democratic organization
should not be imperiled that local re
ults may be promoted,or local reforms
encouraged.
I believe I voice the sentiment of our
ational Democracy when I insist that
nity and harmony on Congressional
iominatons should be first considera
uons of patriotic Democracy. This is a
jestion which not only affects the
ontrol of the next House, but may en
langer and imperil the supremacy of
h national party in the election of
Today the State of New York, if the
election was to be passed upon by the
Rouse, would cast its vote for a Demo

2en in this State would give the vote

:ion for that office would be thrown
.nto the House of Representatives.

orised exclusively within the city of New
York there are rpposition Democratic
candidates.
Tammany was rst in the deld wito
its nomination, and tor one raason or
another "turcel down" about half of
the delegation as its exisLs ia the 53d
Congress. John Dewitt Warner was
elbowed out of the nomination in the
13th district by the transfer there of
Amos J. Cummings, of the 11th, E.J.
Dunphy, who had contumaciously delled
Tammany, was retired. The redoubta
ble Timothy J. Campbell was deemed
to have had his fuil share of honor and
dignity and the nomination in his district
was given to Henry C. Miner, theatrical
manager. Bourke Cockran was shelved,
as it is alleged, by the express direction
of Mr. Croker, to make place for George
B. McClellan, the young piesident of
the boardof aldermen an] the son of the
eneral of the sam3 Dame, and some
other changes in the delegation were
mada. Dnnphy and Campbell have had
their names placed upon the State Dam
ocratic ticket. Every member of the
delegation, with one exceptton, who
voted for the Wilson bill was passed
over by Tamminy. -

sive benefit of whatever prestige there
may be used o2 the regular State ticket,
Senator Hill has :ieclined to refuse the
use of his name to the State Democracy,
which is supporting Strong, a Rspuibhi
can, for mayor, and Strauss and hui
friends are in consequenca muc'is disaf
fected toward the Senator.
An evening paper says that Mr.
Strauss has sent his private secretary tc
Mr. Hill with the ultimatum that the
Senator must discountensnee the State
Demccracy's ticket by refusing to all
his name to appear upon it with that of
Mr. Strong, Citizene' and Republicat

withdraw from the regular or Tammanly
ticket. It is said that if Mr. Straussa
withdaws, another efixrt will be made
to induce E-Mayor Grant to make the
run. Mr. Strauss's secretary is in R)T
chester, and will meet Senator Hill this
evening when he will present Mr.
Strauss's letter to him.
Most of the Tammany leaders wbc
sil talk about the matter express the
opinion that Senator Bill will noi
change his mind, but will allow the State
tIcket to be printed on the local tickel
headed by Strong and the Grace Damo
crats. Should Mr. Strauss decide tc
withdraw from the'race the executive
committee of T ammany Hall, which i
empwered to fll any vacancies that
may occur on the ticket, would select a
candidate for mayor to take bis place,
and if the action was too late for nomina

LAST CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Director Bin er Revliw' the Sew.
8'r of 189.1
The following is the weather cro p
bulletin of Director Bauer:
The past week was much cooler than
usual, the departures averaging six de
grees each day below the normal,
Highest temperature for the week 82;
!owest 38.
There was a general, heavy, and in
places destructive rain and wind storm
on the 8th and 9th. The amount of
rainfall averaged over two inches, in
chiding the entire S' ate. Many rivers
overflowed their Langs and ruined
what was left of bottom land crops,
such as late corn, cotton, peas, and
much hay.
There was also a great deal of open
cotton blown out and stained. There
were light frosts on the mornings of
the 11th, 12rh and 13th, killing frosts
in the "up country" on the mornings
of the 14th, 15.h and 16.h, which ruin
ea the greater part, if not the whole, of
a very Promising top crop of cotton.
The injury to other crops is compara
tively 1usigniticant. This early frost
is more disastrous ar the seasion, in the
localities where the frost o-curred, is
about ifteen days late.
GEIERAL REVIEW OF THE SEAtON OF
1891.
Weather. There was generally an
excess of temperature Irom. January
to July, the greatest departures, both
above and below the normal, having
occurred in March; after the first of
July the temperature averaged about
nor mat until the second week in Octo
ber when it became much cooler. There
were some wide fluctuations in the
temperature, the most notable of which
occurred on March 27 and 30th, when
free zing weather prevailed over the
entire State. destroying practically the
entire fruit crop and doing much other
damage. All vegetation, which had
attained considerable growth,and crops
that were planted and up. especially
gardens, were ruined. There was
another cold wave wi.h frosts about
the middle of May doing slight Injury
to crope, and some unseasoably cool
weatder early in June.
There was less than the usual
amount of rainfall up to Jane 17ch and
28th with severe drought conditions
after the 20:h of May. During July
showers were numerous and timely,
and during August. and September
there were excessive and damaging
rains throughout the Eastern half of
the State while at the same time there
were pcrtions of the Western half that
needed rain.
There were few hall storms and no
very destructive ones. and until the
storm of September 26th and 28, but
little injury to crops was caused by
wind,. The storm of Oftober 8th and
9 h did some damage principally by
dooding bottom lands. Killing frosts
on the 14th and 16;h of 03tober in the
Western portionc of the State cut all
late crops in that section.
Tne cotton crop was about an aver
age one in acreage. Its condition up
to the first of July was on the whole
poor, but the fields were well worked
and cleAn. From July on the plant
made rapid growth and began to frait
heavily. This condition was sustainea
throughout the season in Western por
tion of the State, while in the E ist ern
half its condition deteriorated rapidly
during August and September entirely
on aecount of much rain that caused
rot, rust and shedding with a conse
quent loss of the plant's vitality, as
well as causing grass and weeds to
defy the cultivator and hoe. Late
planting suffered most. Taking the
aggregate crop of the State, It prom
ises to be somewhat less than that of
the previous year, a few places report
it a better one.
Tne acreage of corn was larger than
for some years, and the weather, on
the whole, extremely favorable until
the greater portion of the crop was
made so that the corn crop is undoubt
edly the largest produced in years, and
is of excellent quality. Its conditIon
was quite uniform over the entire
State. E irly planting made the best
crop.
The pea crop was not as good as
usual, although the acreage was some
what larger. Its condition was fair
and promising until the middle of
August,after which became diversified,
generally deteriorating with a promise
of a very ordinary yield, estimated at
60 per cent, of a full crop. There was
planted in many counties a smaller
Eacreage o~rice than usual, owing
principally to a scarcity of seed, but
the crop grew well and returned a good
remunerative yield, after allowance is
made for the loss from the September
storm.
After allo sing for exceptions, sor
ghum was a full crop of a superior
quality. Tbe acreage was up to the
average, If not larger.
The tobacco crop, where cultivated,
did fairly well although the weather
was not entirely favorable, but it prov
ed to be a paying crop.
Grasses made all their growth af tei
the July rains set in, yet the usual
amount of forage was saved.
A large acreage of sweet potato slips
was planted, and the average yield of
this insportant food crop was, perhaps,
in excess of the average. Irish potatoes
did not do as well.
Small grains were more or less a fail
ure, except that a few counties pro
duced the largest oat crop ever known
there. The weather conditions were
generally adverse to wheat and the
yield, consequently, very poor. It was
a poor. year for truck farms and
gardens, but during the summer
months vegetables were plentiful.
The adverse weather conditions can
be briefly summarized thus: The March
freez"; May and June drought; August
and September, excessive rains; hep
tember, hurricarne; QOtober, loods and
early frosts. It was, on the whole, a
fairly prosperous year for farmers, for
there was a plenteous yield, but they
are greatly discouraged by the prevail
lng low prices for their products, es
pecially cotton.

Want Hil to Win.
ATLANTA, Ofl. 1.-The Constitu
tion's special correspondent at Wash
ington writes as follows:
"News received at the Democratic
campaign headiquarters from all sec
tions of the country is of the most en
couraging nature. Tne Democrats are
certain to nave a majority In the next
house. The senate will also be held. In
the house there will be a majority of
about live. Many Republicans here
concede a D)emocratic majority.
"TfMt greatest interest is centered in
New York. Hill is practically certain
to be elected. The talk that Mr. Cleve
land is encouraging the independent
movement is the merish bosh. At the
proper time Mr. Cleveland will write a
lette-r enidorsing~ l1ll. and ativising all
his friends aud all Dem'>crats to vote
for him. I have this from absolutely
reliable authority. Though the ight is
a hard one, lill will win and the Dem
ocrats will Isold their cngressicnal
strength in New York.
"-One in position to know put it this
way to me tonight:
"Mr. Cleveland is anxious that Ilill
should be elected simply because he
laadsi the ticket and it is import ar.t to
the party to win. All the Democrats
employed under this administration
having votes in New York will vote
the straight D~emocratic ticket, and
loyally give Hill and his associates on
the ticket their support. Mr. Cleveland
will signify the earnestness of his sup
port of the ticket by a considerable
cgntribution towards defraying the ex
penses of the campaign. He will make
it evident that he lws no secret desire
that Hiill should be defeated.
