[Copyright, IdOl, by Louis Klopsch, N. yj] Washington, Sept. l.\ This discours? ot Dr. Tnlmago i<* full of tho breath of tho lillis nnjtl fields and is a summer Bcrraon: text, Nehemiah viii, ?S, "Go forth unto tliu mount ?nd fetch olivo branches and pino branches and myrtia branches and palm branches and branches of thick trcos to muka booths." lt seems as if Mount. Olivet woro unmoored. Tho people huvo gone in to tho mountain uud havo out off treo branches and put them on their shoulders, and they como forth now into tho streets of Jerusalem and OH tho house tops, and they twist thea? treo branches into arbors or booths. Then the people como forth from their comfortable homes and dwell for seven days in theso booths or arbors. Why do they do that? Well, Jt ?3 a great festal time, lt is tho feast of tabernacles, and theso peo? plo arc going to celebrate thc desert travel of their fathers and their do llveianco from their troubles, tho ex perience of their fa th or s when, travel ing' in tho desert, they lived in bootha on their wuy to tho land of Canaan. And so theso booths also became high ly suggestivo-I will not any they aro necessarily typical, but highly sug gestive-of our mardi toward Heaven and of tho fact that wo ere only liv* lug temporarily hero, as lt wcro, in booths or arbor?, on our way to tho Connan of eternal rest. And what was said to tho Jews literally may bo said figuratively to all this au dience. C?o forth unto tho mountain, and fetch olive branob.es and pino branches and myrtlo branches and juiiiu Mi:iui?c.i C\ Ti IA branches cf thiel? trees to make booths. Yes, wo aro only hei'o In a tem porary residence. Wo oro marching on. Tho merchant princes who used to live in Bowling Green, New York, havo passed away, and their resi dences uro now tho fields of ohcap moreh nu ts. Whore aro tho mon who 60 years ago owned Washington and Mew York? Pacsod on. Thoro ia no use in ouv driving our stakes too deep into tho earth; wo are on tho march. Tho g?n?rations that havo prooeded us havo gone so far on that Wo cannot oven hear the sound ot their footstops. Thoy have gone over tho hill, and wo aro to follovf them. But, blessed bc God, we aro not in this world left out of doors and unsheltered. Thoro are Gospel booths or Gospel prbors in which our souls aro to bo comforted. Go forth tinto tho mountain and fotph olive branches and pine branches and myrtlo branches and palm branahos and branches of thick trees and build booths. Well, now we nltercady to const root a Gospel arbor or Gospel booth',/and how shall wo oonstruot lt? ( WelV,':vye must ??'fit all tho tree branohesj And build. According to my text,' we must go up into thc raoun; / r?-jd bring olivo . branches. What^di.cs' that mean? Tho olivo tro? ?Ww? In warm-.-olimatoSf-aadUi-.V^O?MiC^'-ho height of ito or 23 feet, a ntiviighfe ptcm and then an offshoot from, that Btem. And thon pooplo oom?. Mid thoy strip off those branches sonia timos, and when in timo bf war tho general of one array takes one iof these olive branches and goes out to the gonornl of another army, what does that mean? Why, lt means un saddle the war chargers. . It moans hang up tho war knapsacks. It is but a beautiful way of saying, Peacel Now, if wo aro to-day going to Bucoecd in building this Gospsi arbor Wo must go into tho mount of God's blessing and fetoh tho olivo branohes, and whatever olso we must havo wo must have at least two olive branohes, penc? with God and pc ano with man. When I say peaoe with God, I do not mean to represent God na on angry ohicftoln, having n. grudge against us, but I do mean to affirm that thoro is no moro antag onism botweon a hound and n hare, rjetweon a hawk and a pullot, "be tween elephant and swine, than there is hostility betwoen holiness and sin. And if God in all holiness and wo aro all sin there must bo a treaty, thora must bo a stretching forth of olive branohcB. There is a great lawsuit gsing on irtow, and it is a lawsuit which man is bringing against his Maker. That lawsuit is now on the calondar. It is the human versus the Divine, it is ini quity voraus the immaculate, it ls Weakness versus omnipotence. Ma? began it. God did not begin the law suit. Wo began it. Wo assaulted our Maker, and tho sooner we end this part of the struggle, in which tho finite attempts to overthrow the in finito and omnipotent-tho sooner wo end it tho better. Travelers tell us there is no such place as Mount Calvary, that it is only a hill, only an insignificant hill, but I persist in cabling it the mount of God's divine mercy anti love, far grander than any other place on earth, grandor than tho Alps or the Himalayas, and there aro no other hills ns compnrcd with it, and I have noticed in every sect where tho oross of Chris* is set forth it is planted with olive branches. And all wo have to do is to get rid of this war between God and ourselves, of which wc arc all tired. Wo want to back out of tho war, wo want to got rid of this hos tility. All we havj to do is just to get up on the mount of God's bless ing and pluck these olive branches encountering (a hurmn hoing or sight ing a Bail. Their small stocks of provisions fin ally gavo out and tho wator supply was rxhaustod. Thoy lmd almost giv en up tho fight whon thoy wore dis oovorcd by an Indian, who brought thom aid, and took thom io tho main land, and guided them to tho planta tion of a Mr. Bruno, whoro thoy woro well reojived. J'hoir immodiato wants woro Nuppliod and thoy proourcd a mm!l boat to tako them to Truxillo. Thoy woro told by Mr. Bruno, that from tho do?oription they gavo of the island, they had ovidcntly boon landed near tho mouth of Plantation river. BKFOHE the Boaumont discov eries the annual. production of oil in this country was about 00,000,000 barrels. Thirty wolla at Beaumont now produce 1. f)00,000 barrels a day, or as muck in 40 days as tho wholo country previously yioldod in twolvo months. This comparison gives au idea of tho immensity and tho importance of the Texas oil fioldfl. and wave thain WOT? tho throne, Peaco through our Lord Jesus Christ! Oh, it doos not moko much differ? ?nco what tho world thinks of you, but como into tho warm, intimate, glowing and everlasting relationship with tho God of tho wholo universe 1 That is tho joy that makes a hal leluiah ecem stupid. Why do we want to havo pcaco through our Lord Jesus Christ? Why, if wo had gone on in 10,000 years of war against God wo could not have captured so much as a sword . or a cavalry stirrup or twisted off ono of tho whecJa of tho charlot of his omnipotence. Rut tho moment wo bring this olive branch God and all Heaven como on our side Peace through our Lord Jesus G-.rlst, and no other kind of peace is worth anything. But my text takes a step further, and it-Bays, Go into tho mountain and fetch olivo brunches and pino branches and palm branche*. Now, tho palm treo was very much honored by thc ancients. It had 3G0 different uses. Tho fruit was conserved, tho aap w ii s a beverage, tho stems wero ground up for food for camels. The base of tho IcavoB was turned into hats and mats und baskets, und from the root to tho top of tho highest leaf thcro wu? usefulness. Tho tree grew 85 feet in height sometimes, and it spread leaves four and il 'c feet long. It meant usefulness, and it incant victory-usefulness for what it produced and victory because it was brought into celebrations, of triumph. And oh, how much wo want the palm branches in- thc churches of Jesus Christ, nt this tlinol A great many Christians do not amount to anything. You liavo to shovo them off tho traci* to let tho Lord's chariots como along-. I lcnoW tho old plan waa, tho plan, now is, in regard to worldly Invest ments-you hear it, merehnnts tell you-do not put everything into ono thing, do not put-all your eggs into ono basket. But I havo to tell yon in this matter of religion you had better give your all to God and then got in yourself. Oh, pays soma ono, "My business ts to sell siLks and cloths," Well, then, my brother, Bell ailles and cloths to thc glory of God. And somo ono says, "My business ia to raise corn and carrots." Then, my brother, rai.se corn and carrot? to tho glory of God. And Bomo ono nays, "My business ia to manufacturo Ihorseshoo nails." Then munufacturo horseshoe nail? to tho glory of God. Thero is nothing for you to do that you ought to do but for the glory of God. Usefulness is typified by the palm treo. Ah, we do not want in the church any more pe opio that sro moroly weeping willows, sighing Into the Water, standing ond admiring their long lashes in the glacsy spring. No wild cherry, dropping bitter fruit. Wo want palm trees, holding some thing for God, something for ano-els, something for man. I am tired and sick of this fiat, tame, Insipid, satin nlippercd, nambypamby, hJghtytighty religion 1 It is worth nothing for this world, and it is destruction for eter nity. Give mo BOO men and women fully consecrated to Christ, and wo will take this city for God in three years. Give mo 10,000 men and women fully up to tho Christian Standard. In ten years 10,000 of them would tako tho whole earth for God. But. when aro wo going to be gin? Wo all want to be useful. Them -ia1 not .a matt in tho pows that doos not want to bo useful. When aro wo going to begin? But tho palm branch alsb meant victory. You all know that. In all oges, in all lands, the palm branch means victory. Well, now, wc .are by naturo tho servants of satan. Ho stole us, ho has his eye on us, he wants to keep us. But word comes from our Father that if wo will try to break looso from this doing of wrong our Father will help us, and we look tho black tyrant in tho face, ond wo fly nt him, and we wrestlo him down, and wo put our heel on his neok, and wo grind him in tho oust, and wo say, "Viotory, victory, through our Lord Jesus Christi" Oh what a grand thing it is to have sin under our foot and a wasted lifo be hind our backs. "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven and whoso sin is covored." Do you not think we had better begin now to celebrate tho coming viotory? In tho old meoting house at Somerville my fatheKuscd to lead tho singing, and he had the old fash ioned tuning fork, and ho would strike lt upon hh knee, and then put tho tuning fork to his ear to catoh tho right pitch and start the hymn. But, frieDds, do you not think we had better bo oatching the pitch of the everlasting song, the song of victory, when we sholl be more than conquerors? Had we not better be gin the rehearsal on earth? "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any moro; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb whloh ia in tho mist of the throne shall feed them and shall lead them to living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away oil tears from their oyes." But then we must have that other olive branch, peace with man. Now, it is vory easy to get up a quarrel. Thero arc gunpowdery Christians all around us, and one match of provoca lion will sot them off. It is easy j enough to got up a quarrel. But, my I brother, do you not think you had ?ottor havo your horns sawed off? :ad not you better mako an apol ogy? Had not you better submit to a little humiliation? "Oh," you say, .'until that man takes the first Btop I will nover be at peace with him. Nothing will bo done until he 1? ready to take the first stop!" Yo* are a pretty Christian. When would this world ho saved if Christ had not taken tho first step? We were in the Can't nar All. Ht. Peter-Did you ever do anything very bad?

It will not hurt them, and lt will savo you. Peaco bo with God, peace with man. If you cannot tako thoso two doc trines, you aro no Christian. Blest bo tho tie that binds Our hearts In Christtau love; Tho fellowship ot kindred minda Is Uko to that above. From sorrow, toll and pain And sin wo shall bo free. And pcrfeot love and friendship reign * Through all eternity. But this evergreen of my text also nuggests tho simple fact tha?t religion ls overgrecn. What does tho pino branch caro for tho snow on Ita brow? It is only a crown of glory. Tho winter cannot ?roezo it out. This evergreen tree branch is as beautiful in winter as it is in the summer. And that is tho characteristic of our hoty religion. In the sharpest, cold est winter of misfortune and disaster it is ns good a religion as it is in tlio bright summer sunshine. Well, now, that is a praotioal truth. For supposo if I should go up and down these aisles I would not find in thia houso 50 peoplo who had liad no trouble. But there aro somo of you who havo especial trouble. God only knows what you go through with. Oh, how ninny bereavements, how many poverties, how many pers?cu tions, how many misrepresentations! And now, rny brother, you have tried everything oise, why do you not try this cve.rgreon religion? It ?a Just as good for you now na it was in tho day of prosperity, lt is better for you. Perhaps some of you feel al most like M?ckle Backie, tho fisher man, who was chided one Any be cause ho kept on working, although that very day he buried his child. They carno to him and snidi "It is Indecent for you to bo mending that boat wdien this afternoon you buried your child." And tho fisherman looked up and said: "Slr, it ls rory easy for you gentlefolks to stay In tho house with your handkerchief to your eyes in grief; but, sir, ought I to let the other five children storvo because one of them ia drowned? No, sir. We mann work, wo maun Work, though our hoarts beat like thia hammer." You may hare had accumulation of Borrow ti-id mi sf or tuno. They oorno in flocks, they como in horde, upon your aoul, and y>t I havo to tell you that this religion can crfnsole you, that it cnn help you, that it can deliver you if nothing elso will. Do you tell me that tho riches and tho gain of this world can condole you? How waa it with t.hn ecclesiastics who had SUOh ? fondness for money that when he was siok he ordered a basin of gold pieces brought to him, and he put lils gouty hands down among the gold pieces, cooling his hands off in them, and tho rattle and rolling of these gold pieces were his amusement and entertainment. Ah, the gold and sil ver, the honors, the emoluments of this world,1 Wro a poor aoloco for a perturbed spirit. You want some thing better than this world can give. A young prince, when tho children came around to play with him, re fusod to play. Ho aaldi "I will ploy only with kings." And it would ho supposed that you would throw away all other solaeo before this regal sat isfaction, this imperial joy. Tho hill of Zion yields A thousand sflored sweets Before wo roaoh the heavenly fleld Or walk tho golden streets. City of eternity, to thy bridal halls From this prison would I floe. Ah. glory I That's for you and mo I My text brings us ono step further. It Bays: "Go forth into tho mount and fetoh olivo branchea and pine I branches and myrtle brnnchos and j palm branches and branches of thick trees." Now, you know very well I make this romnrk under tho head of brnnohos of th lok tree?-that a booth or arbor mado of slight branches would not stand. Tho first blast of tho tempest would prostrate it. So then the booth or arbor must I have four stout polos to hold up the arbor or booth, and hence for tho building of the arbor for this world we must have stout branches of thick troea. And so lt is in the Gospel ar bor. Blessed ba God that wo have a brawny Christianity, not ono easily upsot. Tho storms of life will come upon us, and we want strong doc trine; not only love, but justice; not only invitation, but warning. It la ri mighty Gospel; it is an Omnipotent Gospel. These are the stout branches of thick trees. Well, my friends, you iee I have omitted one or two points not bo cause I forgot to present them, but because I havo not timo to present them. I have shown you hero ia tho olivo branch of peaco, here is the pine branoh of overgreon Gospel con solation, here tho palm tree branoh of usefulness nnd of victory, and herd are tho stout branches of thick trees. I Tho Gospel arbor is done. The air ls j aromatic of Heaven. The leaves rustle with tho gladness of God. 1 Ooma into the arbor. Come into the ! booth. I went out at different times with a fowler to tho mountains to catch pigeons, and wo made our booth, and wc sat in that booth aad watched for the pigeons to ooma. And wo found Hooks in the aky, and after awhile they dropped into tho net, and wo were successful. So I come now to tho door of this Gospel booth. I look out. I see flocks of souls flying hither and flying thither, Oh, that they might come like clouds and os doves to the window! Como into thc booth. Come into tho booth. THO crow is the evil genius ot* tno turtle just as of the diamond-back nnd other terrapins. When the warm days of spring come und tho fcmnlo terra pins and turtles lcavo their beds in tho marsh, the crow goes on guard, know ing that a season of feasting is at hand, Both terrapins and turtles seek tho warm, sandy uplands near tho Bhoro to deposit their eggs. A hole is dug several inches deep and from 20 to 30 inches oblong, while eggs aro deposit ed and then tho nest is lilied or covered with sand. Having neatly piled tho sand over tho eggs, the turtle raises herself just as high as is possible, then comes down with a heavy thud on tho sand. This is continued until the sand is quito hard, when tho eggs oro loft for tho sun to hatch. In tho meantime tho crow lias been on guard, and by means of bis sharp bill and strong claws tho work of breaking into tho tfeasuro houso of tho unsuspecting turtlo is quiokly accomplished and tho f oast in noon over. Tho crow is con sidered by many to bo tho greatest en emy tho diamond-bnok has. iii? an easily established /not that tho\row destroys thousands of tho Oggs cd>aU kind? of terrapins, not making an ex ception of tho diamond-backs.-Ualtl moro Bm\ 1801 X^XJI^^CAJN?: ?JJ A.
