THE HEAVENLY RWST Dr. Talmage on the Fatigues of the World. A SERMON OF CONSOLATION For the Toil Worn and Weary. God Did not Make This Earth For Rest. Troubles of the Rich and Great.

As far as I can see. your tre'tat want and iine is rest. lroin ie tilei c enter life a great many vextit ots an annoyances take after us. We h1av11 our holidays and our sean:is of rerera tion and quliet, Lat where is thet malt III this world who has found ti ire re-t? The fact is tLat God did n1"t make thi world to rest in. A ship tiht awel go down off Cape llattera to niiiii smooth water as a want iii tins wirh to find quiet. From the wav that God has strewn the thornts. ti1 hiurng thle clouds. arid siarpened tile tusks: froin the colds that distress us. ani the heats that smite us. anid the pllurises that stab us. and the fevers that clisule us. I know that he did not nake this world as a place to loiter in. God does every thing successfully. aid this world would be a very different world if it were intended for us to lounge in. It does right well for a few years. In deed it is magnifieent. Nothiung but infinite wisdom and goodness could have mixed this beverage of water, or hung up these brackets of stars. or trained these voices of rill arid bird and ocean, so that God has but to lift his hand and the whole world breaks forth into orchestra. But, after .ll. it is only the splendors of a king's highway. over which we are to march on to eter nal conquests. You and I have seen men who tried to rest here. They build themselves great stores. They gathered around them the patronage of merchant prin cesses. The voice of their bid shook the money markets. They had stock in the most successful railroads and in safe deposit vaults great rolls of gov ernment securities. They had emblaz oned carriages, high mettled steeds. footmen, plate that confounded lords and senators who sat at their table, tapestry on which floated the richest designs of foreign looms, splen dor of canvas on the wall, exquisiteness of music rising among pedestals of bronze and dropping soft as light on snow of sculpture. Here let them rest. Put back the embroidered curtain and shake up the pillow of down. Turn out the lights. It is II o'clock at night. Let slumber drop down upon the eyelids and the air float through the half opened lattice drowsy with mid summer perfume. Stand back all care, anxiety and trouble! But no. they will not stand back. They rattle the lattice. They look under the canopy. With rough touch they startle his pulses. They cry out at 12 o'clock at night: 'Awake, man! How can you sleep 'when things are so uncertain? What about those stocks? Hark to the tap of that fire bell! It is your district. How if you should die soon? Awake. man! Think of it! Who will get your prop erty when you are gone? What will they do with it? Wake up! Riches sometimes take wings. How if' you should get poor? Wake up!" Iising on one elbow, the man of fortune looks out into the darkness of tihe roonm and wipes the dampness from his forehead and says, 'Alas, for all. this scene of wealth and magnificence. no rest!" I passed down a street of a city with a merchant. H~e knew all the finest houses on the street. lie said: "There is something the miatter in all these houses. In that one it is conjugal in felicity. In that one a dissipated son. In that a dissolute father. In that an idiot child. lui that the prospect of bankruptcy." This world's wealth cani giv'e no lper inanent'satisfaction. This is not your rest. You and I have seen muen try in an other direction. A man says. "If I could only rise' to such and suich a plarce of renown, if I could gain that office. if I could only get the stand and irave my sentiments met with one good round of hand clapping applause. if I could only w-tite a book that wotuld live, or make a speech that would thrill, or do an action that would resound." The tide turns in his favor. His namre is on 10,000 lips, lHe is bowed to and sought after and advanced. 31en drink his health at great dinners. At his fiery words the multitudes hruzza. Froni galleries of beauty they throw garlands. From-house tops as ire passed in long procession they shake out the national standards. Here let him rest. It is 11 o'clock at night. On pillow stuffed with nation's praisc let him lie down. Hush all disturbanit voices. In hris dream let there be hoisted a throne and across it march a coronation. hush! Hush! "Wake up!'' says a rough voice. "Political sentiment is changing. How if you should lose this place of' honor? Wake up! The morning papers are full of denunciation. Hearken to the execrations of those whro orrce caressed you! By tomorrow night there will be multitudes sneering at the words which last night you expected wotuld be urni versally admired. How cart you sleep when every thing depends upon the next turn of the great tragedy? Up. man! Off of this pillow!" The man. with head yet hot from his last oration. starts up suddenly, looks out upon tire night, but sees nothing except flowers that lie upon his stand, or the scroll from which he read hisspeech, or books front which he quoted his authorities, and goes to his deslk to finish his neglected correspondence. or to lpen an indigniant line to some reporter, or sketch the plan for a public defense agaist thre assaults of tihe people. Hlappy when he got Ihis first lawyer's brief. E'xul tant when he triumphed over his% first political rival. Yet. sitting on the very top of all that this world offers of praise, he exelainms: "No rest!N rest!" Tihe very world that now aipplaud will soon hiss. That world said. of tihe great Webster: ''What ar statesmran! What wonderful exposition of the can stiution! A man fit for any position: That same wolrld sarid after awhile: "Down with hium lie is an otireest'eker. He is a sot, ie is ar libertinm Away with hlrim!"

Now. for what have I said all this? Just to prepare you for the text, "Arise ve and depart. for this is not your rest. I am going to make you a grand offer. Some oif you remember that when gold was discovered in California large com panies were made up and started off to get their fortune. and a year ago. for the same purpose. hundreds dared the cold of Alaska. Today I want to make up a party for the land of God. I hold in my hand a deed from the proprietor of the estate. in which he offers to all who will join the company 10.000 shares of infinite value, in a city whose streets are gold. whose harps are gold. whose crown are gold. You have read of the crusaders-how that many thousands of thei went off to Conquer the holy sepul cher. I ask you to join a grander cru sade, vot for the purpose of conquerintg the sepulcher of a dead Christ. but for the purpose of reaching the throne of a living Jesus. When an amy is to be made up, the recruiting officer examines the volunteers, he tests their eyesight. lie sounds their lungs. he measures their stature. They must be just right. or they are rejected. But there shall be no partiality in making up this army of Christ. Whatever your moral or physi al stature, whatever your dissipations. whatever your crimes, whatever your weaknesses. I have a commission fronm the Lord Almighty tonmake up this regi ment of redeemed souls, and I cry. "'Arise ye and depart, for this is not our rest." Many of you have lately oined this company. and my desire is that you all may join it. Why not? You know in your own hearts experi ence that what I have said about this world is true: that it is no place to rest i. There are hundreds here weary oh. how weary-weary with sinl. weary. with trouble. weary4 wiat bereavement. Some of you have been pierced through and through. You carry tihe sears of a score of conflicts, in which you have bled att every pore. atnd yout sigh. ''Oh. that 1 had the wings of a dove, that I might fly away and be at rest!" You hav.e taken the cup of this world's pleais ures and drunk it to tihe dregs and still the thirst claws at your tongute and tihe fever strikes to) your brain. You have chased ptleasure through every valley. by ever'. stream, amid every brightness and under every shadow. but just at the mlomen~ht whenl you were all ready to1 pult your hanzdupton thle rosy. laughing sylph f the wood she turned upon01 you1 with! the glare (of a tiend and thle eye of a satvr,' her locks adders and 1her breathl the ehill damp of a grave. Out of Jesus Christ 11o rest. No voice to sil enee the stormll. No light to kindle the darkness. No drydock to repa4:ir tihe split bulwark. Thank Giod. I can tell you something better. If there is no re-' onl earth. there is rest iln heaven. Jhi. ye whol are wornl otut with work. youlr hanids calloused4. your balcks bent. youtr eyes half put out,1 your fingers worn~ with thle needie, that iln this world you mlay' never lay down: ye d1iscoutraged onles. wilo have been waginlg a hand to hand fight for bread; ye to whloml the night brings little rest and thle mlornll2ing mre drudgery-oh, ye of thle weatry han~d and the weary side anld tile weary foot. hear mel talk about rest! Look at that company of enthroned oneCs. It cannot be that thlose bright oes ever toiled? Yes. yes! These packed the Chlinese teat boxes andl throughl mlissionary inisturetio 101scap 1ed ilto glory. TIhese sweltered 0on soulth ern plantations, and one night, after tle cotton pickinlg. wenlt up as white as if they had nev.er been black. Tlhose died of overtoil in the Lowell carpet factories and these in 31anchester mills. those helped build tile pyramids and these broke away fromn work on tihe day Christ was hounded out of Jerusaleml. No more towei's to build: heaven is done. No more gzarments to weave; the robes are finished. No more harvests to raise: the garners are full. Oh. sons and aughters of toil, arise ye anid depart. for that is your rest! Sovill McCallum. a boy of my Sun day school. while dying said to hlis m~oter. ''-Don't cry. but sing, sing: "There is rest for the weary. Ther e is restt for the weary." Ihen. putting his wasted hand over his heart, lie said. ''There is rest for lie."

At the Marioll lleeting on Thursday Mr. J. E.

Gen. Norton. had broken his agreement with him two years ago. It had been said that Eller be dare not show himself. and at the Florence meeting at least 100 men came to him and told him they voted against him before on account of these rumors. He asked the people of Marion to re buke such damnable political trickery and rascality as that was. (Applause.) He begged. entreated andi dared Gen. Norton to compare records with him. Congressman Norton. another son of 'Marion. replied vigorously to 3r. Eller be. Said lie: "If you say or intimate that I have circulated false reports about you, you tell what is not true. You read papers here about which I have nc knowledge. and if it is a per sonal difficulty you want to precipitate. I will settle with you outside this meet ing. I have felt the cold lead and I want you to understand that I am not to be bulldozed." Back from Mr. Ellerbe came the calm rejoinder: "If you take it as a person al iatter you can get from me anything you want at any time and place, and you know that. - Gov. Ellerbe was greeted with rous ing cheers. lie was doubly grateful to these people of his who had taken him from the plow handle. It had been as serted by one of the candidates that he could not carry his own county. (Voice: " He must be crazy." There was a little spat between the goveruor and "Uncle George"' Tillman. in his speech the latter said that Gov ernor Ellerbe had cried persecutioni and it was beneath his manhood. This the governor denied and Col. Tillman reit rated it and went on to say that lie had never charged him with corruption. TIhe Governor-No, you haven't, but if you do you will have to pirove it.

IPresident MlKiley Wednesday niht i uethe Following o the People ,I' the United States of Aierica: At thi timle. when to the vet fresh cemei ni~rnce ol the unprecedented Ieccess which attended the operation of the United States fleet in the P"&r of Manila. on the first day of May Aat; are added the tidings of the xa l.ess. glorious achievements of the nvaj and military arms of our beloved. country at Santiago de Cuba. it is fitting that. we should pause. staying the feeling of exultation that too natturally attends. great deeds wrought by our country. men in our country s cause, and sho'ed reverently bow before the Throrw of Divine Grace and give devout raise to God. who holdeth. the natious ir, the Hollow of His hands and worketh upon them the marels of His high will, and who has thus far vouchsafed to us the light of His face and led our brave sol diers and seamen to victory. I therefore ask the people. of the United States. upon next assembling for divine worship in the respective places of meeting to offer thanksgiving to Almighty God. who, in His inscru table ways. iow leading our hosts upon the waters to unscathed triumph, now guiding them in a strange land through the dread shadows of death to success, even though at a fearful cost, now bear ing them without accident or loss to faw distant climes, has watched over oar.. cause and brought nearer the suecessof: the right and the attainment of just and, honorable peace. With the nation's thanks, let there, be mingled the nation's prayers that. our gallant sons may be shielded from. harm alike on the battlefield and in.the. clash of fleets and be spared the scourge of suffering and disease while they are striving to un'hold their country's honor; and with all let the nation's heart be stilled with holy awe at the thought of the noble men who have perished as heroes die, and be filled with corpassionate sympathy for all those who suffer bereavement or en dure sickness, wounds and bonds by reason of the awful struggle. And above all, let us pjray with earnest fer ver that He. the Di-pens~er of all Goo, miav speedily renwXe from us the un told aiflicetions, of wa r and bring to our dear land the blessings of restored peace and t<> all the domain now ravaged by the eruel strife the priceless boon of' security and tranquility.
