V . A SEBMON FOE SUNDAY A DISCOURSE ENTITLED "IS THE CLD BOOK FROM COD?" Some of the Evidences That the Book "We Call the Bible Has Been Given to Us by the Inspiration of God?It is Peculiarly Man'i Book. Philadelphia. -- The Rev. Dr. Kerr, * Boyce Tupper, pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city, preached a strong sermon Sunday morning on "Is the Old Book -.Tom God?" This is one of the oldest and strongest churches in the land. It * "was presided over for thirty years by Dr. * George Dana Boardman. who was succeeded about eight years ago by Dr. Tupper. Two years ago. at a cost of nearly $400,000. a magnificent house of worship was erected ? an<T $150,000 endowment laid aside. The -congregations are very large, especially in ? the evening. The test for. this.sermon was from First Thessalonians ii-13: "We thank God without ceasing because when ye received the word of God ye received it not as the word of man. but as it is in truth, the word of God.*' Dr. Tupper said. Ancient history has preserved the tradition that when, thirty centuries ago, the city of Troy was sacked by the Greeks, the conquerors made the general proclamation that each of the inhabitants thereof 4 be permitted to save a single article of ?roperty especially dear to his own heart. 'Hiking advantage of the offer, Aeueas selected his household gods and carried them in triumph and for joy to a place of safety. So* pleased were the Greeks by this unaffected act of piety that they extended to him further indulgence, allowing him to save one other thing, when, returning in haste, he bore off on his shoulders his aged father, whose wisdom and affection constituted for him a priceless inheritance. Were the traditions thus related to repeat itself in history to-day and the privilege granted every genuine Christian believer, in a supposed season of calamity and privation, to make a selection of that on? possession most higmy prized by him, both because of its intrinsic value and its immortal influence, the truest wisdom would dictate % peculiar and, to thousands, an inexplicable choice. This choice would not be silver or gold, military fame or ? civic honor, profound learning or matchless eloquence; this choice would not be even father or mother, husband or wife, son. or daughter, friend or lover; preeious as might be each of these, it would not be!' the one thing wisely chosen if the choice were made both for time and eternity. Whpi then would the one thing be? Strange as it* may seem to many, the calm, firm, heaven guided, intelligent choice of the earnest, thankiul Christian in that solemn, sacred hour, would be a certain book?a book ancient and artless, derating and ennobling, divine and durable. As I utter this sentence you anticipate the. designation I am about to make. You need not be told that. This book is no work of mere poetry, neither Iliad nor Odyssey, Milton s Odes nor bnarespeare's plays; no work of mere history, neither Livy nor Tacitus, Hallam nor Hume; no wo?k of mere philosophy, neither Bacon nor Hamilton, Descartes nor Locke; no book of mere biography, neither Plutarch nor Lamartine, Kemusat nor Voltaire; no book'of mere romance, neither George Eliot nor Scott, Bulwer nor Thackeray; no book of mere ethics, neither Plato nor , * Seneca, Paily nor Bain; no book of Christian morality and meditation, neither Thomas a Kemnis' "Imitation of Christ" nor Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," Hooker's "Homilies" nor Paschal's "Thoughts" ?greet and good as -are many if not all of these, immortal works some of them, rising like grand and majestic mountain peaks, catching and presenting to the world the glorious splendors of the high est human genius?we couia see mem auu all .else of man's creation burn into ashes or buried in the sea, if at their expense we might save to our hearts and lives here and hereafter that one single book, which has an origin and a character and a mission and a destiny as far above every work of man's creation as the skies are above the clouds?that book whose ''author is God. whose subject is man, whose object is salvation, whose end eternity"? that book.of which Pollock, in an outburst of poetic fervor and Christian faith, so feelingly writes: This lamp from off the everlasting throne Mercy took down, and in the night of time Stood casting on the dark and gracious bow. And forever more beseeching' men with tears And earnest sighs, to hear, believe and live. Surelv, brethren, this must be the book of all. books, which, while full and rich with the sweetest strains of poetry, the most memorable deeds of history, the most inexhaustible stores of philosophy, the most thrilling incidents of biography, the loftiest principles of ethica} and moral teaching, counts no one of these its features of chiefest glory, but rather this: 'lhat for centuries it has gone up and down this world of ours, relieving human consciences, illuminating human intellects, redeeming human spirits, transforming human lives, and tnat, in so beautiful and glorious a degree, that the thinking world is beginning to accept the statement of Schleimermacher. "To abolish the Bible * * a. -n iL.i. is to plucK up iy tne roows an mat, ? noblest and truest and divinest in the world's civilization." Oh! if there is one prayer that I offer up daily with more constancy and fervor of soul than another in our age- of theological ferment and unrest, it is this: God. xeep me as an ambassador of Christ and the great orotherhood of Christian believers* true now and always to the infallible Word of the sterna! God. As in the past, supernatural revelation has had to contend against the sophisms of Hume and tae transcendental philosophy of Germany, so to-day, all about us there are tho6e who battle against the idea of a living, personal, omnipotent Jehovah, who can. and does freely and fully communicate with His children; and to-day there is a call long and loud Jar those Who accept the Bible as the full and satisfactory oracle from heaven, to stand up and out against all the?e attacks, and that, too, with convictions strong and unshaken. With you to-day I come to consider the question, What are some of the evidences that the Book we call the Bible has been given by inspiration of God? 1 say some, zor we have no time, even if we had the WKAitr- fcn PT?nmerate them all. That these acreci' writers themselves believe that J theirs were the oracles of God is without question. Hear David sing: "The spirit of the Lord spake by me and His word was in my tongue;" and Isaiah, "Hear, oh heavens, and give ear, oh earth, for the iLora has spoken, the mouth of the Lord hath spoken;" and Ezekiel, "The Word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel. th^priest. and the hand of the Lord was uio:\ him:" ana Peter, after the death of Judas, "Men and brethren, the Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, whieh the Holy Ghost Dy the mouth of David spake uefore concerning Judas;" and Paul wouiu peak, "not in the words which -tan's wisdom teacheth, but which the Hop Ghost teacheth." And how our Lord throws the "broad shield of His infallible truthfulness" over the whole Old Testament canon, testifving both to the accuracy and the inviolability of the Word of G<$. The Old Testament was then, as now, divided into the Law, the Prophets and, the sacred writings. Holding up the scroll that contained these, the Master of;, the ages with firmness of conviction s?ad rapture of soul, could exclaim: "It is writtea." Search the Scriptures, the Scriptures cannot be broken. With the pirit of these our consecrated prc^ea\ . sors, in Christian faith, let us rejoice t?day as we study the divinity and inspiration of the Word of God. Among the sub- | stantial truths of Bible inspiration is the pure and lofty character of the teaching that stamp and glorify and perpetuate the pages of this more than human bookteachings respecting God and man, holiness and sin, death and eternity. How the whole circle of religious truth from centre to circumference, is not only touched, but filled ut> by the revelations of this inspired Word. Take the one question of the Godhead and the light thrown upon it by the sacred Scriptures. As Dr. Stuart Itobinson has eloquently said, ''The Bible maintained the unity of God amid all the darkness of the Western polytheism; the vivid personality o: God amid all the sophistry of the East- ; em pantheism; and ineffable purity of the holiness of God amid all the obscurity of Egyptian theories and Canaanitish idolatry; the omnipresence of God amid all the theories of gods many an^ lords many." How* infinitely above and beyond all human speculations are the rexelations | of the Divine Word respecting the Divine j mind! How majestic such declarations I " *- . J J ! as these: "in tne oeginning uou crtaieu the heavens and the earth; before the mountains were brought forth of ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting. luou are God;" "God is a spirit;" "God is love;" "God is light." In a magnificent treatise on this fundamental question of God and the revelations respecting it made by the Scriptures, an American writer has pointed out five conceptions of God found in the Bible, and found nowhere else among all the religions ef earth, ^ear and weigh these: (1) God is a spirit, existing from eternity, Creator of heaven and earth; (2) God is one, yet revealing Himself in the threefold distinction and personality, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; (S) God is. absolutely infinite in all His attributes and capacities?in power omnipotent, in knowledge omniscient, in existence omnipresent, in purpose immutable, is character immaculate: the embodiment , of allthat is good and great; the impersonate* of all excellence; (4) C'od is providential, not far off and inaccessible, careless of seif-acting laws and untouched by humau woes, but a God of sympathy, compassion, love; a God, who, in all His laws, and behind all His laws, and above all His laws, and in control of all His laws, not only guards cherubim and seraphim angds anil archangels, but also marks the movement of lily, sparrow and child; and above all, God is a Redeemer, living and dying among men in self-sacrifice ineffable, ti lift them from darkness to light, from sin to glory; in short not a mere ideal of a uoa to worship but a G?d with whom every human soul may have personal, conscious relations, a God to fear, a God to love, a Gad to pray to, a God ta obey? a God so holy that we muct abandon sin if we would serve Him, and a God so loving that our very sin has moved Him ta a self-denying atonement. Truly, this Hook that" tells 60 much about God must be a book from God. Because it is God's Book, the Bible is peculiarly man's book, when man would rise to loftiest conceptions and highest achievements. It is wonderful how our w.iole English literature has become permeated, saturated and elevated bv sentiments and expressions from the Holy .scripture^. One of the most interesting studies to the student, alike af the Bible and of Shakespeare, is the indebtedness of the Bard of Avon to these oracles of light and life. A careful study of Shakespeare's life reveals no fewer, thap five hundred and fifty biblical quotations and sentiments. Here m "Ricnard II." are forty; then in "Richard III." are fortynine; yonder in "Hamlet" alone, eightytwo. How many biblical books are there? Sixty-sr*. From how many does Shakespeare quote, or to how many does he refer? To fifty-four. How many plays has Shakespeare? Thirty-seven. In how many are there Scrinturai reterences: ia everyone of, the thirty-seven. A careful study of this subject will reveal that Genesis furnishes the poet thirty-one quotations or references- Psalms, fifty-nine; JProverbs, thirty-five; Isaiah, twenty-one; Matthew, sixty; Luke, thirty; Romans, twentythree. Nor is this exceptional. A scholarly American author has declared that it is as imnossible to subtract the Bible from our mouern English literature as "to unbraid the sunbeams or subtract the yellow or vialst rays from the tid^ of light that fill the solar svstem with warmth aifit cheer." Each English student knows how true this is. Without the Bible Milton could never have written his "Paradise Lost" and "Samson Agonistes." Without the Bible Bunyan could never have composed his "Pilgrim," or Tacit his "Jerusalem." or Dante his "Inferno," or Burns his "Cotter's Saturday Night." No wonder John Quincy Adams could exclaim: "In whatever lioht we view the Bible, whether with reference to revelation or history or morality, it is a mine of knowledge, like which none other has ever been found in any land or any realm." No wonder that Daniel Webster, prince of forensic orators, could say that the perusal of the Bible in his early days imparted to him many of the chief excellencies of his literary 9tyle. No wonder that the Rifted Choate eloquently exclaimed: "I would have the Bible read, not only for its authority, revelations, commands and exactness obligatory yesterday, to-day and forever, but for its literature, its pathos, its dim imagery, its savings of consolation and wisdom' and universal truth." Truly this Book of books must be the Book of God. -But we have a higher proof of biblical inspiration even than this, and that is the perfect adaptness of the Word of God to the conditions of all classes and kinds of..men. Dr. .Storrs well -says:, "The treatise of Plato on immorality is attractive to the scholar, but obscure and dull to the unlettered man; the Veda of the Hindus is, as a whole, unintelligible; the Koran is said to be a sealed book to the majority of its constituents. In contrast to all these, the Bible fills the whole ckv cumference of man's endowment; touches every thought and feeling in thjfi great humanity; it is adapted to Inspire sage, to instruct the savage, t? guide the child/' Truly, this is a universaT book, answering man's deepest questions, solving man's most intricate problems, ih luminating man's most darkest boure. giving him support in life, peace in death, and a song of sweetest melody amid the ineffable glory of th<? eternal world. The | gifted Hallam felt this wucn he^said: | "The Bible fits every fold and cre*5ce ^of l i .->q human cnirit. " Not SO T>hiloSOollY. i education, science. Our astronomers point out Uranus and Jupiter, but not the Stair of Bethlehem. Our geoloeists n ?nfo!d earth's strata, but reveal no Rock of Aggs. Charles Reade, the litterateur, writes the first line of his own epitaph. "Reade* Dramatist, Journalist. Novelist:" but Charles Reade, -the Christian, pens the other line: "I hope for a resurrection, not from any power of nature, but from the will of the Lord God Almighty." Whence came that revelation save through the dome window of the sky? ~ue Bible alone answers our deepest questions, solves our most intricate problems, illumines our darkest hours. There can be no night when it gives no song, no desert where it furnishes no fountain. Its revelations supply support in life, peace in death and songs of everlasting joy beyond life. No heart is too4hard for its truths to melt, no sin too great for the Bible to banish, no life toe degraded for the Bible to transform. Only let a man test God's Word and he will have in its favor an argument that no sophistry can destroy and 110 skepticism touch. The Heart's Influence. If there is joy in your heart, let it abine in your face. This is one of the lesser ministries of love?the cheering power of happiness.

Don't forget to provide a few cushions in washing covers for the kitchen. If there be space, have thete a couple of basket chairs, but at any rate have the cushions. The backs of servants are quite as apt to ache as those of other people, and a cushion or two will make it much more easy to rest when the opportunity to do so comes. The Kitehcn Walls. No one in these days thinks of papering or whitewashing a kitchen. The walls should be oil painted in a flat finish?that is. without varnish?and if itis properly done they may be washed freely without injury to the surface. There are also several patent wall cov ! erings resembling light oilcloth that are put on ".ike paper. - T? - Jelly Glasses. A bright housekeeper has discovered a new system of labeling jelly and preserve glasses. She buys a roll of white passepartout binding for about f eight cents. This is well gummed on one side, and she uses as long or as. short a piece as the label calls for. The pasting process is much more quickly gotten through with than when separate labels are used. A New Vegetable. A new vegetable which is beginning to appear on American tables somej what resembles a Jerusalem artichoke, and i9 called the Japanese crosne. ft did I originally come from Japan, but is now I cultivated rather extensively in France, from which land of delicate feasting it has reached these shores. Crosnes are described as being about two inches long and less than an inch in diameter at the thickest part. They look something like stubby little spindles. Uncooked they are used as garnishes for salads, and with a French dressing as as a salad by themselves. In Japan they are all pickled. When they become knows other uses will doubtless be fouud for them.?New York Post Italia* Uses of Olive Oil. "In Italy, where olive oil is cheap," Mfc o hrmc/iTrifA who snent a vcar OUJ O U .. m there, "even the poorer people use it in every sort of a way. Always when I had a chance I watched an Italian cook at work, and I got many ideas I have since adapted in my own kitchen. For instance, a tablespoon of oil costs no more than two tablespoons of butter, and it is vastly superior for a saute. Potatoes, shrimps, smelts, bananas, almost anything we saute, $re so much better cooked in oil that you would never go back to butter. Then, in a puree of beans, tomato or peas, a tablespoon of oil added just before ft is poured in the tureen gives a velvety! smoothness without a trace of greasiness, which you often have with cream or butter. I always use oil with flour, instead of butter, to form the base of a tomato, cream or brown sauce. When finishing a scalloped dish, I toss the crumbs which are to form the top layer in a tablespoon of hot oil, till they a*e thoroughly greased; the result is a crust most delicately brown and crisp." ?Good Housekeeping.

The terrapin hunters have adopted a new method for catching terrapin, and what few are left in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries will soon be in the terrapin pounds. The new device is a trap constructed about on the same principle as the eel pot. The body cf the trap is constructed of wire and the entrance .of twine, so woven that the terrapins easily enter, but find it impossible to get out. The trap is then filled with bait, for the most part crushed crabs, and set .in the marsh where, terrapins, have been located. The terrapin hunter walks through the mars^ and discovers his game by the protruding heads, as the terrapins are compelled to come to the surface to breathe.-* Many of them are drowned In. these traps/, and' one hunter staJte&JihatJbue 'lia's* seen twentytwo drowned in-this manner during the present .summer.. . A terrapin can- j not live in one of these traps over ! three hours, and-thus the hunter must ' be on the move constantly: if. he would preserve his game alive.-; Terrapins are also being caught' in pursd nets,but these cannot be used in shallow streams successfully on account of the numerous stumps of trees on the bottom. One hunter made a large haul with a fyke some weeks ago. He Eaw tL large number of terrapin going up a narrow marsh stream and knew that it was useless to" follow them at once on account of . the numerous deep holes which rendered the terrapin practically safe from pursuit. He therefore stopped Up the stream with the exception of one narrow outlet,' in which he placed his fyke. Night after night he waited patiently for the terrapin to come down". At -length one night there came a heavy rain, and the .terrapin came down with a rush, ' ji J J so .villi ue ^uuuspi p he had caught at orte 'fime^or many i yearfi.-rBait|mo^^un. , Jhe Baby's First Tooth.
