JW This discourse of Dr. Talmago it? tull of tho breath of tho hills arad fields und is u summer sermon: toxt, Nehemiah viii, f?, "Go forth unto tljo mount .?nd fetch olivo branches and pino branches und myrtlo branches and palm branches und branches Of thick trees to make booths." It seems us if Mount Olivet woro unmoored. Tho people havo gono in to tho mountain und havo cut off tree branches and put thora on their shoulders, and they como forth now into tho streets of Jerusalem and. on tho house tops, and they twist theo? tree branches into arbors or booths. Then tho pcoplo como forth from their comfortable homes and dwell for seven days in theso booths or arbors. Why do they do that? Well, H is a great festal time, lt is tho feast of tabernacles, and those peo plo are going to celebrate tho desert travel of their futhers and their de liverance from their troubles, tho ex perience of their fathers when, travel ing in tho desert, they lived in bootha on their wuy to tho land of Cannan. And so theso booths also bccaiuo high ly suggestive^-I Will not say they aro necessarily typical, but highly sug gestive-of our march toward Heaven and of tho fact that wo are only liv? lng temporarily herc, ns it wcro, in booths or arbors, on our way to tho Canaan of eternal rest. And what was 6oid to the Jews literally may bo ?aid figuratively to all this au* dlenco. Clo forth unto tho mountain, and fetch olivo branohes and pino branches and luyrtlo branches and pnlm bronchos and branches of thiok trees to make booths. Yes, wo aro only hero In n tem porary residence. Wo are marching on. Tho merchant princes who used to live in Bowlin?1 Green. New Ynvlr. havo passed away, and their resi dences aro now tho fields of ohcap morchants. Whero are tho mon.who 60 years ago owned Washington and New York? Pasead on. Thoro ia no use In our driving our stakes too deep into tho earth; wo aro on tho march. Tho genoratlons that havo prooeded us havo gone so far on that Wo cannot oven hear the sound ot .tholr footsteps. Thoy havo gono over tho hill, and wo aro to follow them. But, blessed bo God, Ave aro not in this world left out of door? and unsheltered. Thoro aro Gospol booths or Gospel arborB in which our souls aro to bo comforted. Go forth Unto tho mountain and fetch olivo branohes and pino branches and rnyrtlo branohes and palm branohes and branches of thick trees and build booths. Well, now we r?te ready to construct a Gospel arbor or Gospel booth',/and how shall wa oonstruct it? Wei"',.wo must get all tho tree branches and build. According to my text,! wo must go up into,;"tho mound and bring1 olivo branches. What-, dies* that moan? Tho olivo troo giviws tn warm ollmatofw-ar.cV:?t..?G^CV^, V?. height of H? or ?M feet, a straight Stem and then nu offshoot front that Btem. And then pooplo como;-hud thoy strip off these branches SODIO tiraos, and when In timo of war ?ha genoral of one army tak?? 'oil'?.'.(of these olive branohes and goes out to tho general of another army, what does that mean? Why, it means un saddle tho war chargers. . It moans hong up tho war knapsacks. It is but n beautifdl way of saying, Peaoel Now, if wo aro to-day going to j tmccecd in building this Gosp:l arbor wo roust go into tho mount of God's blessing and fotoh tho olivo brauohes, and whatever olso we must havo wo roust have at least two oliv? branohes, pcocb with God and poaoo with man. When I say peaoa with God. I d-o not mean to represent God as an angry chieftain, having a grudge against us, but I do mean to affirm that thoro ia no moro antag onism botweon a hound and a hare, between a hawk and a pullot, "bo tweon elephant and swine, than thora la hostility between holiness and sin. And if God is all holiness and we aro nil sin there must bs a treaty, thora must bo a stretching forth of olive branches. Thoro is a great lawsuit going on how, and it is a lawsuit which man ia bringing against his Maker. That lawsuit is now on tho calondnr. It is the human versus the Divine, it is ini quity versus tho immaculate, lt is weakness versus omnipotence. Ma? began, it. God did not begin tho law suit. We began it. Wo assaulted our Maker, and tho sooner we end thia part of tho struggle, in which tho finito attempts to overthrow the in j finito and omnipotent-tho sooner wo end it thc better. Travelers tell ut there is no such place as Mount Calvary, that it is only a hill, only nn insignificant hill, but I persist in coiling it the mount of God's divine mercy anti love, far grander than any other place on earth, grandor than the Alps or the Himalayas, and there aro no other hills as compared with it, and I have noticed in every sect where tho oross of Chris* is set forth it is planted with olive branches. And nil wc have to do is to got rid of this war between God end ourselves, of which we are all tired. Wo wont to back out of tho war, we want to got rid of this hos tility. All we havj to do is just to ?jet up on the mount of God's bless ng and pluck these olive branches encountering [a hum u\ hoing or sight ing a Bail. Their email stocks of provisions fin ally pavo out and tho water supply was exhausted. They had almost giv on up tho fight whon thoy woro dis oovorod by an Indian, who brought thom aid, and took thom to tho main land, and guided them to tho planta tion of a Mr. Bruno, whero thoy woro Vf oil rcotdvod. Thoir immodiato wants woro Huppliod and they procured a email boat to tako them io Truxillo. Thoy woro told by Mr. Bruno, that from tho dosoription they gavo of tho island, they hod nvidently boon landed near tho mouth of Plantation river. BKFORB thc Beaumont discov eries tho annual. production of oil in this country was about 00,000,000 barr?la. Thirty woila at Beaumont now produco 1. 600,000 barr?la ti day, or as much in d0 day a as tho whole oountry prcvioualy yioldod in twelve months. This comparison gives an idoaoftho immonsity and tho importance of tho Toxas oil fields. anet waVo thom ho foro tho throne, ?'eaco through our Lord Jesu? Christ! Oh, it doo? wot thoko ruuch differ enco what tho world thinks of you, but como into tho warm, intimate, glowing and everlasting relationship with the God of tho whole universe! That is tho joy that makes a hal leluiah seem stupid. Why do wo want to have pcaco through our Lord Jesu? Christ? Why, if wo had gono on in 10,000 years of war against God wo could not havo captured so m uah as a sword or a cavalry stirrup ox* twisted oft? ooo of tho wheels of tho chariot of Ids omnipotence. But tho ' moment wo bring- this olive branch God and all Heaven como on our side. Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ, and no other kind of peuce is worth anything. But my text takes a stop further, nnd it .< says, Go into tho mountain and fetch olivo branches and pine branches and palm branches. Now, tho palm treo was very much honored by tho ancients. It had 300 different uses. Tho fruit was conserved, tho sap was a beverage, tho steins wero ground up for food for camels. The base of tho leaves was turned into hate and mats nnd baskets, and from the root to tho top of the highest leaf there was usefulness. Tho tree grew 85 feet in height sometimes, and it spread leaves four and Ave feet long-, lt mennt usefulness, and it meant victory-usefulness for what lt produced and victory because it was brought iuto celebrations, of triumph. And oh, how luuoh wo want tho palm branches in- the churches of Jesus Christ at this timol A great many Christians do not amount to anything. You havo to shove them oft' tho trao?: to let tho Lord*? chariots como along. I know th? old plan waa, the plan now is, in regard to worldly invest ments-you hear it, merchants tell you-do not put everything into ono thing, do not put? all your eggs into ono bnskot. But I havo to tell you in this matter of religion you had better give your all to God aud then got in yotirself. Oh, says sonio ono, "My business is to sell ?Ilks and cloths," Well, then, my brother, sell Bilks and cloths to tho glory of God. And some ono says, "My business is to raise corn and carrots." Than, my brother, ra'/?s corn and carrots to tho glory of God. And socio ono cays, "My business ls to manufacture horseshoe nails." Then manufacture horseshoe nails to tho glory of God. Thoro 1B nothing for you to do that you ought to do but for the glory of God. Usefulness is typified by the palm trco.. Ah, wo do not want in the ohuroh any moro people that oro ?morely weeping willows, nighing Into the Water, standing and admiring tholr long lashes in tho glassy spring. No wild cherry, dropping blttor fruit. Wo wnnt palm trees, holding some thing for God, something for angels, something for man. I am tired nnd ?ick of this flat, tame, insipid, satin slippered, nambypamby, hightytighty ; religion I It is worth nothing for this ? world, and it is destruction for ctor- ; nity. Oivo mo BOO men and women fully consecrated to Christ, and we ? will take this city for God in three < years. Give mo 10,000 mon and 1 women fully up to the Christian standard. In ten years 10,000 of ; them would talco tho whole earth for God. But whan aro wo going to be- . gin? Wo all want to be useful. Th ero ' 3s not a man in the pows that doos not want to bo useful. When aro i Wo going to begin? i But tho palm branch also meant i victory. You all know that. In all ' ages, in all lands, the palm branch means victory. Well, now, we .are by nature tho servants of satan. He stole us, he 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, and wo fly at him, and wo wrestlo him down, and we put our heel on his neck, and wo grind him in the oust, and wo say, "Viotory, vlctoi'y, through our Lord Je GUS Christi" Oh what a grand thing it is to have sin under our foot and a wasted lifo be hind o\ir backs. "Blessed ia he whoso tranagression is forgiven and whoso sin is covored." Do you not think we had better begin now to celebrate tho coming victory? In tho old meeting house at Somerville my father.used to lead tho einging, and he had the old fash ioned tuning fork, and ho would strike it upon hh knee, ond then put tho tuning fork to his ear to catch tho right pitch and start the hymn. But, friends, do you not think wo had bettor bo catching the pitch of tho everlasting soug, the song* of victory, when we shall be more than conquerors? Had we not better he-' gin the rehearsal on earth? "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any moro; neither shall tho sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb whloh is in the mist of the throne shall feed them aud shall lead them to living fountains of waters? and God Shall wipe away oil tears from their eyes." But then we must have that other olive branch, peace with man. Now, it is very easy to get up a quarrel. There arc gunpowdery Christians all around us, and one match of provoca tlon will sot them off. It is easy j onough to got up a quarrel. But, my j brother, do you aol think you had hotter havo your horns sawed off? Had not yon better mako au apol ogy? Had not you better submit to a little humiliation? "Oh," you say, "until that man takes the first step I will never be at peaco with him. Nothing will bc done until he is ready to take the iirst stopl" You are a pretty Christian. When would this world he saved if Christ had not taken the first step? We wera in tho Can't liar All. St. Peter-Did you ever ?v. anything very bad?

But this evergreen of my text also suggests tho Himplo fact thikt religion ls overgrecn. What docs tho pine branoh caro for tho snow on its brow? It is only a crown of glory. Tho winter caunot froezo it out. This evergreen tree branch is as beautiful In winter as it is in the summer. And that is tho characteristic of our holy religion. In tho sharpest, cold est winter of misfortune and disaster it is as good a religion as it is in tho bright summer sunshine. Well, now, that is a praotionl truth. For Supposa if I should go up and down these aisles I would not find in this houso 50 people who had had no trouble. But there oro som o of you who havo especial trouble. God only knows what you go through with. Oh, how many bereavements, how many poverties, how ninny persecu tions, how many misrepresentations! And now, my brother, you have tried evorythlng olso, why do you not try this ovcrgveon religion? It ls Just as good for you now ns it was in tho day of prosperity, lt ls better ?or you. Perhaps some of you feel al most like M?ckle Buckie, tho fisher man, who was chldod ono flay be cause lie kept on working, although that very day ho buried MB child. They came to him and snldi "It le indecent for you to bo mending that boat when this afternoon you burled your child." And tho fisherman looked up and said: "Slr, it ls rory easy for y wu gentlefolks to stay tn tho house with your handkerchief to your eyes in grief; bvu, slr, ought I to let the other five children starvo becousc one of them la drowned? No, sir. We maun work, wo maun Work, though our hearts beat like this hammer." You may hove had accumulation of Borrow and misfortu?o. They como in flookg, they como in herds, upon your soul, and yoi I havo to tell you that this religion can odnsolo you, that lt can help you, that it can doliver you if nothing else wi]]. Do you \cU me that tho riches and tho gain of this world can consol? you? Sow was it with tho ecclesiastic who had such a fondness for money that when he was sick he ordered a basin of gold pieocs brought to him, and he put his gouty hands down among tho gold pieces, cooling his hands off in them, and tho rattle and rolling of these fold pieces were his amusement and entertainment. Ab, the gold and sil ver, the honors, the emoluments of this world,'*&re a poor eoloco for a perturbed spirit. You want como thing better than thia World can give. A young prince, when the children came around to play with him, re fused to play. Ho said? "I will play only with kings." And it would bo supposed that you would throw away all other solace before this regal sat isfaction, this Imperial Joy. Tho hill of Zion yields A thousand saorad sweets Before wo roach the heavenly fields Or walk tho golden streets. City of eternity, to thy bridal halls From this prison would I floe. Ah, glory! That's for you and mo! My text brings "?. ono step further, rt Bays: "Oo for?> Into the mount and fctoh olive branches and pine branches and myrtlo branches and palm branches and branches of thick trees." Now, you know very well I moko this romark under tho head of branohos of thick tree?-that a booth or arbor modo of Blight branches would not stand. Tho first blast of tho tempest would prostrate it. So then the booth or arbor must have four stout poles to hold up tho arbor or booth, and hence for the building of the arbor for this world wo must have stout branches of thick troos. And so it is in the Gospel ar bor. Blessed bo 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. is a mighty Gospel; it is an Omnipotent Gospel. These are the stout branches of thick trees. Well, my friends, you see I havo omitted one or two points not bo causo I forgot to present them, but because I havo not time to present them. I have shown you hero is the olivo branch of peaco, hero ls the pine branoh of evergreen Gospel con solation, here the palm tree branoh of usefulness and of victory, and here* are tho stout branches of thick trees. The Gospel arbor is done. The ah- la aromatic of Heaven. The leaves rustle with the gladness of God. Como into the arbor. Como into the booth. 1 went out at different times with a fowler to the mountains to catch pigeons, and wo made our booth, ?nd wc sat in that booth sad watched for the pigeons to como. And we found flocks in the sky, and after awhilo they dropped into the not, and wo wero 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 ns doves to the window! Como into thc booth. Come into tho booib. xno crow ls tho ovil genius of tao turtle just as of tho diamond-back and other terrapins. When tho warm days of spring come and tho female terra* pins and turtles leave their beds in tho marsh, tho crow goes on guard, know ing that a season of feasting is at hand. Both terrapins nnd turtles seek tho warm, sandy uplands near tho shore to deposit their eggs. A hole is dug several inches deep and from 20 to 30 inches Oblong, willie eggs are deposit ed and then tho nest is lilied or covered with sand. Having neatly piled tho sand over tho eggs, tho turtle raises herself just ns high ns is possible, then comes down with n honvy thud on tho sand. This is continued until tho sand is quito hard, when tho eggs aro loft for tho sun to hatch. In the mount imo tho crow Jins been on guard, and by means of his shnvp bill and atrong claws tho work of breaking into tho tfoasuro houso of tho unsuspecting turtlo is qniokly accomplished and tho feast is soon over, The crow is con? sidcred hy many to bo tho greatest en omy tho diamond-back lins.
