Doee any one dream of the lore that ia yours, The heart that ia mine; The depth and the width of the oup which each pours Of richest red wine; Of the hate that is dark as > he midnight of grief, The auguish and woe, The doubt clouds of halting and bliud unbo lief. Doea any one know* Does any one see what wo hare in tho heart To lore and to hate; Of life's every motive an intricate part, Of chance and of fate; The mern'ry of kissos, of starlight, of songs, Of roses and snow, Of women's sweet eyes, of prayers and of wrongs. Does any one know? Doea any one hearken to music of bells, And the sigh of the sea, And the whisper of woodlands that murmuia and n wall a For you and for me; The sound of fond voices that ever respond, In tones eofi and low, To the prayer we are breathlDg Into tho beyond, Does any one know? TBE TALMAGE SERMON The Great Divine 8ounds the Praites ^ of the Redeemer. In this disoourse Dr. Talmago sounds tho praises of the world's UcdocmcraDd puts boforo us tho portraits of somo of his great disciples and exponents; text, John iii, 31, "Ho that oometh from above is abovo all " Tho most oonspioitui oharaotcr of history steps out upon tho platform. The fioRor whioh diamonded with light, pointed down to him from tho Bothlohem sky was only a ratification of tho fingor of prophcov, tho fingor of gone alogy, tho fiDgor of chronology, the fingor of ovouts?all fivo fingers point ing in ono dircotion. Christ is tho ovortopping figures of all timo. llo is tho vox humana in all musio, tho most exquisito mingling of lights and shades in all painting, tho aomo of all olimaxes, tho domo of all oathcdralod grandour and tho peroration of all eploudid languago. Tho Greek alphabet is mado up of 24 lotters, and whon Christ oomparod himsolf to tho first lottor and tho last letter, tho alpha and tho omega, ho appropriated to himsolf all tho splondors that you can spoil out with thoso two lettors and all tho lottors botweon thorn. "I am tho alpha and tho omega, tho beginning and tho end, tho first and tho last," or, if you profcr tho words of tho text, "abovo all." It moans, aftor you havo pilod up all Alpino and Himalayan altitudes, tho glory of Christ would havo to pread its wings and dosoond a thousand leagues to touoh thoBO summits. Pelion, a high mountain of Thosealy; Ossa, a high mountain, and Oljmpus, a high mountain, but mythology tell ua when the giants warred against the godsthoy piled up thoso throo mountains and from the top of them proposed to soalo tho heavens, but tho hoight was not great enough, aud thero was aoomplote failuro. And aftor all tho giants? Isaiah and Paul, prohctio andapostolio giants; Iiaphael and Miohacl Angelo, artistic giants; cherubim and seraphim and arohangel celestial giants?have fail to olimb to the top of Christ's glory they might all well unite in the words of tho text and Bay, ' He that oometh from above is above all." First, Christ must be abovo all else in our preaohing. There aro so many books on homiletics scattered through the world that all laymen as well as all olergymen have made up their minds what sermons ought to be. That sermon is most effectual which moat point edly puts forth Christ as the pardon of all sin and tho correction of all evil, individual, social, politioal, national. There is no reason why wo should ring the endless ohanges on a few phrases. There aro thoso who think that if au exhortation or a disoourso havo frequent mention of justification, sanotifi jation, oonvenant of works and oovonant of graoe that thcroforo it must bo profoundly ovangolieal, whilo thoy aro buspioious of a discourse which presents the sauo truth, but under difforcnt phraseology. Now, 1 say thoro is nothing in all tho opulont roalm of AngloSaxonism or all tho world troasuros that we inherited from tho Latin and Greek and the lndo-Europoan but wo have a right to marshall it in religious discussion. Christ sots tho example. His illustrations were from tho grass, tho flowers, the spittlo, tho salvo, tho barnyard fowl, tho crystals of salt, as well as from the seas and the stars, and wo Hn nnt nrnnnan in nnt- Hnn/l.ti onliAnl w MWV |/? V|/vuv AM VUi UUIIVin^ DU1IVVI teaching and in our pulpit addross to bo put on the limits. I know that thoro is a groet doal said in our day against words, as though they were nothing. Thoy may be misused, but thoy have an imporial power. They aro the bridge bctwoon soul and soul, betwoen Almighty God and the human raoe. What did God write upon the tables of stone? Words. What did Christ utter on Mount Olivot? Words. Out of what did ChriBt strike the spark for the illumination of the universe? Out of words. "Lot there be light," and light was. Of ooursc thought is the oargo, and words are only the ship, but how fast would your oargo get on without the ship? What you need, my friends, in all your work, in your Sunday sohool olass, in your ro formatory institution, and what wo all need is to enlarge our vocabulary whou we oome to speak about God and Christ and heaven. We ride a fow old words tc death when there is suoh illimitable ro souroe. Shakespeare employed 15,00(i different words for dramatio rmrnmta*. Milton employed 8,000 difforent wordi for poetio par pones, Hufut Choato em riloyed over 11,000 different words foi egal purposes, but the most of us have Ism than 1,000 words that wo oau manage, lees than 600, and that makot us so stupid. When we oome to set forth the love f Christ, we are going to take the tendevest phraseology wherever, we find it, and if it has never been u^ed in that direction before all the more shall we use it. When we oome to speak of the glory of Christ, the oonqueror, we are going to draw our similes Irom trumphal areh and oratorio and everything grand and stupendous. The Frenoh navy * - 7 * m lave 18 flag* by which they give eigml, i but those 18 nig* tlicy can pat iatn i B6 000 difforont combinations. And I have to tell you that them standards of theorcss maybe lifted in?o o unbinations infinite and varieties everlasting. And let ino aa/ to >onug uien who are after awhile going to preaoh Jesus (>ri?t. you will have tho larcest liberty and unlimited resouroe. Ycu only ) avo to present Christ in your own way. Jonathan Edwards preached Christ m tho aevorest arpu.nont ever penned, and John Huuj an preaohed Christ in tho sublimest allegory ovor composed. Edward l'a} son, sink and exhausted, leaned up against tho side of tho pulpit and wept out out his discourse, while Gcrgo Whitifiold, with tho maunor at d the voion and tho start of an aotor, overwhelmed his auditory. It would have botn a different thing if Jonathan Edwards had tried to writo and dream about tho pilgrim's progress to tho oolestial oi'y or John Uunyan had at? .?J ? a. i HI iuiui'iuu nu uu tiiu uuiiiou will. Hrightor than the light, froshor than tho fountains, deopor than Iho fleas, are theoo gospel themes. Song has no melody, flowers havo no twootness, moBCt sky has no color, ooinparod with thoso glorious themes. Theso harvests of graco spring up <4 tioker than we ciu sieklo tbcoa. Kindling puljits with their Gro and producing revolutions with their power, lighting up dying beds with their glory, thoy aro tho sweetest thought for tho poet, and thoy aro tho most thrilling illustration for tho orator, aud thoy offer tho most intense scone for tho artist, and thoy aro to tho embassador of tho fky all enthusiasm. Complete pardon for tho dirost guilt. Sweetest comfort for ghastliest agony, Brightost hopo for grimmost death. Grandest resurrection for darkest sepulohor. Oh, what a gospel to prcaoht Christ ever all in it. IIis birth, hiH suffering, his ruiraolos, his parahlos, his sweat, his tears, his blood, his atonement, hit intercession?what glorious themes! Do wo exoreiao faith? Christ is its obj ct. Do wo havo loye? It fastens on .Jesus. Havo wo a fondnosH for tho churob? It is beoaufio Christ died for it. Have wo a hopo of heavon? It is beoauso .Jesus went ahead, tho herald and tho forerunner. Tho royal robe of Domotrius waB so costly, so beautiful, that after I10 had put it off no one over dared put it on, hut this rt bo of Christ, rioher than that, tho poorost and tho wannost and tho wcrst may wear. "Whore sin abounded graoo may much moro abound." "Oh, mv sins, my sinfl," said Martin Luther to Staupiiz. "my sins, mysios!" Tho fact is that tho brawny Gorman Htudont had found a Lathi Biblo that had inado him quake, aad nothing elao over did make him quako, and whoa ho found how through Christ ho was pardoned and save 1 ho wroto to a friond saying: 'Como over and join us, great and awful sinnors saved by tho graoo of of God You socm to bo only a slondcr sinner, and you don't uiuoh extol tho inrrcy of God, but wo who havo been suoh very awful sinnersprai-o his grace tho moro now that wo havo boon rodeemed." Can itbo that you aro so doa peratcly egotistical that you feel yourself in first rate spiritual trim ar d that from tho root of tho hair to the tip of tho too you aro BOirlcss and immaculate? Whatyou need is a looking glass, and here it is in tho Bible. Poor and wrotohed aud miserable aud blind and naked from the crown of the head to tho solo of tho foot, full of wcuuds and putrofy ing sores. No health in us. And then take tho fact that Christ gathered up all tho notes againbt us and paid them and offered us tho receipt. And how much wo need him in our sorrows! We aro independent of oircumstances if we have hi9 graoe. Why, he made Paul eiog in the dungeon, and under that griei St. John from desolate Patmos heard tho blast of tho appoca lyptio ttumpots. After all other candles have been snuffed ou; this tho light that gets brighter and brighter unto tho perfect day, and after under tho hard hoofs of calamity all the pools of worldly enjoyment havo boon tramplod into doep mire at tho foot of tho eternal rook tho Christian, from oups of granito, lily rimmod and vino covered, puts out tho thirst of his soul. Again, L remark that Christ is abovo all in dying alloviations I havo not any sympathy with tho morbidity abroad about our demiso. Tho ompcror of Constantinople arranged that on tho day of his coronation tho stonomason should oomo and oonsult with him about his tombstone that aftor awhilo ho would ncod. And thoro aro men who aro monomaniacal on tho subject of dcpaituro from this life by death, and tho moro they think of it tho lo*s prepared aro they to go. This is an unmanlinoss not worthy of you, not worthy of mo. Saladin, thogrotoat oonquoror of his day, whilo dying, ordored tho tunio ho had on him to bo oarriod after his doath i on a spoar at tho hoad of his arjay, and thon tho soldior ovor and anon should , stop and nay: "Behold all that is loft i of Saladin, tho ompcror and oonqueroi I i Of all tho statos ho oonquered, of all 1 tho woalthho accumulated, nothing did ho retain but this shroud." I havo no i sympathy with suoh bohavior or suoh I absurd demonstration or with muoh that wo hear uttorod in regard to do ' parluro from this lifo to tho next, i Thoro is a oommonsensioal idea on this i subjoot that you and 1 ncod to oonsii dor, that thoro are only two stylos of i doparturo.

You want the light on your pil i low from eyoM that have long refleoted i your love. You want the room still, i You do not want anv ourious Strang* rs i standing around watohing you.

Oil rar.hljr frieo Is hold ?s when the \ Ilowe of death oomo up to the girdle? Can human Voice charm open hoavon'a ga'e? Can human hands pilot us through the narrowa of death into heaven's harbnr? Can an earthly friendship shield us from the arrows ol death and in the hour whon satan shall oraotio upon us his infernal arohoryV No, nol Alas, poor soul, if that is all! lictter die in the wi'dornoss, far from ir-o shadow and far from fountain, alone, vulturos oiroliog through the air waiting for our body, unknown tc men, and to have no burial, if only Christ would say through the solitudes; "1 will novor loavo thuo. I will novor forsako thoo." From that pillow ol stono a laddor would soar hoavenward, angols ooming and going, ai.d across the solitudo and tho barrooness would oomo the sweet nolo of heavonly min strelsy. Gordon Hall, f?r from home, djiug in tho door of a heathen temple, said, "Glory to thoe, O God!" What did dying Wilborforoo say to his wife? "Come and ait boiido me and let us talk of hoavon. I nevor know wlial happinoss was until 1 found Christ.' What did dying Hannah More nay? "Tc got to hoavon, think what that ib! Tc go to Christ, who dio that I might live Oh, glorious gravel Oh, what e florioufl thing it is to diet Oh, thovo of Christ, tho lovo of Cbriail' What did Mr. Toplady, tho groat hymn maker, say in his last hour? Who oar measuro tho dopth of tho third heaven' Oh, tho sunshino that fills my soull i bhall soon bo gono, for suroly no oc< can livo hero after suoh glorios as Goc has manifostod to my soul " What did tho dying.Jancway say ?

Sir Charles Han in his last moiniot had suoh rapturout vision that ho oricd, "Upvard, upward upward I ' And so groat was tho poaoo of ono ol Christ's disoiples that ho put his fingeri upon tho pulso in his wrist and oountet it and observed its halting boats unti his life had ondid hero to begin it hoavon. But grandor than that wai tho to9tim>ny of tho wornout first mis sionary, whon in tho Manurtino dun goon I10 oriod: "L am now roady to b< offorod, and tho tiino of my doparturo ii at hand. 1 have fought tho good fight, ! havo finished my oousro, 1 havo kep tho faith, llenooforth there is laid uf for 1110 a crown of rightoousncsi, whiof tho Lord, tho rightoous Judgo, wil give mo ia that day, and not to mo onlj but to all thorn that lovo his appear iDgl" Do you not seo that Christ ii abovo all ia dying a'loviationh? Toward the lait hour of our oarthlj rosidenoo wo aro speeding. When J sco tho spring blo3soms soattored, I say "Anothi r soason gono forevor." Whei I clone tho Bible on Sabbath night, say, ' Another Sabbath departed ' When I bury a friend, 1 Bay, "Auothe: earthly attraction gono forevor."

Suow flurries wcro observed as far eastward as the c.ntral oountics.

In theso scctioop, c rn and cotton aro coming up, but germination is slow and stand*, generally poor, necessitating much replanting, but with exceptions where stands are g>od.

Iu tho central and western counties, and patticularly in thi North Carolina border counties, tho conditions wero less favorablo. and although muoh upland corn tnj tomo o.tion has hccu planted, very littlo is up, as tho ground has boon too wet and cold for fivorablo germination, and stnnds of such crops that are up aro po?r. The ground was fie to plow, ovor tho western half of tho Stato, on from two to four dayB only, and tho roocnt raius will still further dolay farm work on uplands, while bottom lands will bo too wet for a long timo. Some ploved lands havo been so packed by the heavy rains that they will havo to bo plowed again to fit them for planting.
