A SERMON FOR SUNDAY AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE BY THF REV. C. L. PALMER. /s ^bjocls What fliA Crnntlon Mcnim?Only ( mo AlmigHty Could Mnho Such n World?Tliere 1* No Itlditle of tlio UnlTerae-Tlio Answer In Immortality KINGSTON', N. Y. ? In the Reformed Church of the Comforter, at this place, on Sunday morning, the Rev. C. L. l'almer preached the following sermon, entitled Wlmt t'ne Creation Means." He took his text irom I'su'.m 104:24, "O Lord, how manifold are Thy work*, in wisdom hast Thou made them nil, the earth is full of j Thv riches." Von Humboldt says: "That this rsalm represents the image of the whole cosmos. ' It is astonishing to find in a lyrical poem ! of such limited compass the entire uni\ Verse, the heavens and the earth, sketched | with a few bold touches. The calm and | toilsome labor of man from the rising of i the sun to the setting of the same, when I his daily work is done, is here contrasted with the moving life of the elements of nature. Thia contrast and generalization is the conception of the mutual action of natural phenomena, and this retrospection of an omnipotent and omnipresent invisible power which can renew the earth or crumble it to dust, constitute a solemn and oxaltcd, rather than a glowing and gentle form of poetic creation.' It is thus a hymn of creation, written by whom we know not. In the Sept it is ascribed to David, but is anonymous in the Hebrew psalter. The phraseology and spirit are not unlike David, and the subject matter may hove been ?.-ranged in his day as well as at any time. In the authorized edition of the English Jlible the au- j thorshin is accredited to David. 'Die English ana American editions of the Revised | Version made no mention of its writi-r but many and potent, are the reasons which lead us to the conclusion that the hymnologist of Israel composed thin song for the people of God. It was fitting that it should he used in the temple, and it is etill consistent to employ it, since it expresses a truth that time cannot change. Unlike many of the Psalms this one is capable of analysis, the natural and logical plan being a reproduction of the six 1 creative periods. This is not only evident ! to the careful reader, but is confirmed by | the most reliable sources. And this is not . unimportant, since it i.s another argument I in favor of the unanimity of opinion eon- ' corning the i)!nn that (iod followed when ! He created the universe. The work of the j first and second days, light, the sky. clouds, j winds, lightning, occupy verses 1-4. The j original chaotic .state, and the separation j of land from water on the third day, verses J /> $). The third creative day continued that > which had,been commenced on the prcced- i ing. The growth of plants and trees. I which implies irrigation l>y clouds anil streams. Here tlic ^oct introduces bird* i and creatures of the field and forest, which I do not apnear in the Mosaic narrative un- i til mucli later, verses 14-18. The work of the fourth day, the sun and moon, hut with | special reference to men and animals, : verses 19-26. The poet having already wo- | ven into his song part of the work of the j fifth and sixth days, now returns to it, and j describes the sca with its living creatures, theso with all else, the whole visible creation in absolute dependence upon (2od, verses '24-30, In verses 31-35 the I'salmist j describes his longing to see the bright orig*: inal restoicd. The text being the 24th verse is a part of : the division including verses 19-20, which j treat of the fourth day's work when iho j sun and moon were made, but referring ' particularly to men and animals. Thero I can ho 110 doubt respecting the interpret.".-! tion. because the literal translation reads: j "O Lord, how manifold are Thy works, in } vriftlom ha*^ Thou made them all, the earth ' :.w / r vfhy "Won tures." i l. i'lie l'salmi^t Recognizes (!o;l as tho i Creator?"O Lord Thy w.orks." Writing by inspiration does not necessarily pre-' elude the use of provincialism, provirh <1 j that such correctly describe facts. And' thev*may he enlarged or modified in order j to no accurate. The doctrine taught in _ this l'sa' in str^t accord with notions .*.i'CValI!iig W. ?,the time of its composition 'and Mince that thero was a time when only * Cod existed, and that there came a time when the universe was formed. It is tho teaching of all the ancient faith* that the universe did not spring into existence of its own VOiitioil. bllt was made n'lt of linl'n. ing by Almighty 'fori. Often, however, tho conception i.s vague c?nd con fused and cv< -n meaningless, because destitute of tlint, light which lightcth every man coming into the world. 1c is the clear implication of the Scriptures that there was a time when Cod wan alone. and that the time eamo when He employed His power to fashion the heavens and (he earth. Only the great tJod could conceive sueh ? compilation and. complication of organic and inorganic matter. Since creation many wonderful thoughts have occupied th<; minds of men. hut none have suggested themselves. Thev have been wafted in'.o and born through the channel of Innnnn thinking by the appearance of some suggestive oceurreiue. We think our thoughts after God. tl thus follows that we could r-" not think of tlto universe without seeing something to siiRsesfc it. I Only the Almighty could design Hie universe. Architecture is a science to he acquired under the instruction of one who ^ lias mastered this branch of learning and is therefore able to impart it to others Designing a dwelling is possible beeausf thero are those who have been instructed in the art. Designing the universe is possible only to Clou, oinoe no other has been or is able to surest a plan of Micit scope and grandeur. ITe holds the key which unlocks the mysteries of this sublime conception. Granting for tlie sake of argument that there are minds of adequate scope to comprehend the fact of a universe, we cannot eee any advantage, since a conception with- i out ability to cxccute must remain dor* ( n.ant. For a Moses who co?!d smite a , lock, and a Joshua who could arrest the sun, would he baffled in attempting to [ create a universe. Men have done great things, but Ciod has done greater. Man can no more make designs for nature than he can cause the u><>ss to grow and th<! (lowers to bloom. It is all within the abilI L itv of r:~,i -c ' . ui hiiii (none. "U liOid J I .

V\ (the many organized typos of tho (creator's *Ti\ lhandiwork. These are denominated kintt- , Idoms. The mineral kingdom is constituted | V |of inorganic species. It has ever enlisted 1 I the labors of the naost brilliant intellects j J and devoted students. Every decade of 0 \ 1 research has disclosed some relic of the ' \I I ?(jes, while even greater fields remain \m- ' i u |cxPl?rcd. What will be disclosed in the < \ I future no one can tell. We cannot but be- ( >UO*V I )'evp *',at more renmitm ennonnio/' ?i? been discovered. "6 Lord how muni 1 te V>| fold are Thy works." The vegetable kingdom in filled with life. ' From the smallest plant to the largest tree ' are varieties innumerable. This is another field in which investigation lias not been i ?l wanting. Great numbers of grasses, flow j ? er* and herbs of all kinds are being dis covered. The massive collection is a surety ffo ever greater discoveries. And we be &> ' - llfeve that every coming century will dis \ &<* .cloy ">mi new form of life. "O Lord how are Thv works." |p^.KU ? ^ fyumal kingdom possesses s|>ccicr I low lv\ ji" 'Mfmber.

It is in this field that 1 evolution has made some of its greatest "I tfidea and met its most discomforting dc | feats. Evolution is not to he set asidi i without due consideration, for it holds * I position in the minds of thinking men that , t rnnnnt h* icrnnroft 1? I Hut it ia only as evolution recognize* God, 1 His character and work, that it can giv? any light to a doctrine ?o mysterious. "Q I Lord now inanifold'are Thy works." I There is still another kingdom. It it 1 the kingdom of God, the kingdom of J heaven. It is one in^ name^hut^occupies I saved by the one Christ. All pardoned by the one Creator, all re-created in the imago of the true (Sod. " Lord how manifold are Thy works." III. The Wisdom of Creation?"In wisdom hast Thou made nil." Each kingdom' is complete in itself. How natural to think j of the spiritual as being perfected, and of | iiiv iiuiivniii ns unperiecteu. Tins is true or not according to our understanding of tlie word "perfected." It is wrong if by it we understand that God lias completed one and not the other. lie lias perfected both, one for our life here, the other for that life which follows this. There is a most glorious display of the wisdom of j God in the most minute of all Jlis work. No one is capable of making anv improvement. lie has made everything beautiful in its season. A skilful artificer when he has finished his work makes a thorough ex? animation to satisfy himself that it is well done. Often it is found that some serious defcct cxisto. But when Jehovah had completed the universe and inspected il divine wisdom pronounced it pood. There was 110 higher power to which appeal could be made. The ages confirm the wisdom of the decision then rendered. It is impossible to think of any improvement that would be in harmony with cxistiiiR laws. In creation wo can make 110 suggestion, in preservation wo arc silent, and in the divine government amazed at the goodness and love of God. "I11 wisdom hast Thou made them all." IV. The Extent of Creation?''The earth is full of Thy riches or creatures," each kingdom being filled to overflowing with its own kind. No room for more animals, for that kingdom is full. Nothing to add to the vegetable kingdom, for it supplies the needs of all living creatures. The kingdom of God is also filled. Filled with (hose who onee know nothing of its joys, but were re-created bv the grace and power of its founder. Tts dimensions increase as more room is required. It is not a poorhouse. but a palace. The Creator has not placed His creatures where the necessaries of life are wanting, but where plenty obtains. Heboid, the provisions of the children of God are within our reach. Nor with necessaries only, hut with ? ' >i?iMtRn, iiiMiiics, neauues nnu treasures. In the earth are hidden mines of wealth, and on her surface are teeming! harvests of plenty. All tliei-e are the Lord's. "The earth is full of Thy Helios." We should not think of them as the property of nations, of the possessions of individuals, hilt as the wealth of CJoil. Not in one elime are these to l>e Imd. hut everywhere. The cold Arctic has its precious things, which it requires great Hardship to obtain. The burning sun of the equator furnishes food that cannot he grown elsewhere. They all belong to (!o?l, but are t'.m-ii iim 10 use aim enjoy tor the fiver's glory. The other translation of the word. namel.v, tli.it of "ereaturcs," is too significant to brnore. Not only is tho earth filled with the Holies of Ood. but it is tilled with His creatures. All belong to Him as His chib (Iron. Some nre obedient, some arc not. Some love to serve Him. others not. Tliey nre lli.s and Ho loves them, though they in?v be disloyal to Tlim. The conclusion of our interpretation of th? text is that Cod Almighty frented a'l things, that the great variety of His handiwork was imperative to display His power, that fresh evidence of Ilis wisdom is constantly being disclosed, and Ihat the whole human family belong to Clod, to be saved, prepared for life and for immortality?to whom be all oraise. rilO.MI N KXT rKon.E.

The .Judge happened 1 to visit the oilice, and when leaving he espied CronPVs turkey. He quietly seized it unobserved and carried it to his chambers. lie telephoned to Captain Martin that some one had stolon n lurk y I'roin tin- property | clerk's ollice, anl Detective lMuau was detailed on the ease. .Meantime Attorney Shorlall had soon the turkey in the Judge's chamber;, and thinking it belonged to the .bulge, he carried it to the bond and warrant, lerk's olliec and hitl il. The Judge had noticed him, and soon had the gobbler hack in his chambers. tie rang for a messenger boy a1.id sent, him with the turkey to Otto Ileyncnmun, stenographer in the chief's ofiice. A note accompanied the turkey, purporting to come from Johnnie Kreiss, saloonkeeper, and wishing lleynemanii the conipiiinents of the season.

CZAREVITCH ALBXI3. (n Line of 8ucocsslon to the Crown of Great Britain. That the recept birth of tho CznroVltch Alexia, who la not only heir to the throno r?f All itm w. V..W imooiaa, UUl) likewise, as a great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, In the line of succession to th'j British Crown, should have .been hailed as the beginning of a now era in Russia is net surprising;. Superstition is rife in the domains of Emperor Nicholas, and by the vast majority of his subjects the advent of the infant prince is regarded as an indication tbat its parents are restored to Divine favor. This they were believed to have forfeited, and every misfortune that has overtake n Russia during the last fow years, more especially since the beginning of the war with Japan, has been ascribed ! not only by the masses, but also to a great extent by the classes, to the fact that their rulers were "unlucky" and objects of relentless anger an the part of Providence. So widespread has been the impression that had the Czarina again disappointed the nation by presenting it with a fifth daughter Instead of with the long and eagerly expected sen, there is no knowing but the safety of the Crown might have been endangered by a popular revolution, designed to remove from the throno sovereigns so manifestly accursed, and, therefore, destined to bring still further disasters on the people. Thon, too, the little birth of tha Czarevitch, by furnishing a guarantee of the continuity of the Emperor's policy, will encourage henceforth the officials of high an* of low degreo throughout the empire to accord to him an obedience and a loyalty which they have until now withheld. As. long as Nicholas remained without a direct heir, the Tthlnovicks?that in to say, the servants of the state, from the highest to the lowest?have been under the impression that in the 1 event of any sudden demise of the 1 Crown the successors might complete- I ly reverse the present autocrat's pol- ' icy, and regard with disfavor all of j iuoso who naa laenuneu themselves" i therewith. That is why so many ofi the decrees of Nicholas II. have remained a dead letter, and why tho progressive and enlightened measures which he lias instituted have remained stillborn. The statesmen and officials upon -whom he was compelled to depend for their execution were afraid to fulfill his behests, to incur the ang?r of his successor In tho event of his death. The birth of tho Grand Duke Alexis changed all that, for even if anything untoward should happen to the Emperor in his boy's minority, it will be found that he has made provision for intrusting his widow with tho guardianship of tho new Czar until his majority.

Buffalo, N. Y. BATHS OF RADIANT HEAT. Pain Banished by F.lectrlc Light T reatment. A heat, nntl liciit tr?ntm<mt has caused much comment lately . anions scientists, says the LQndon I Express, is the Dowsing system, that i consists chiefly In directing electric j heat rays or the body of the person j subject for treatment. The system i Is used In cases of rheumatism, gout, sciatica, lumbago and similar diseases and certain forms of tubercular troublco. These rays are claimed to be the nearest approach to the sun's rays obtainable by artificial means. The groat advantage peculiar to this treatment lies in the ability of the electric rays to penetrate the body going direct to the part or parts of tbe trouble. To undergo this treatment the person is first placed upon a bed, after removing all clothing, and wrapped snugly in the covers, with the head only outside. The .?ic- men iiuuvfii uu, unu (lie auoJect Is literally bathed in bent. The patient by this system is subjected to a temperature of 1500 or 400 degrees. The person does not experience any discomfort, notwithstanding this great heat. Ordinary heat of this high intensity would cio the human body to a turn, but these electric rays, being dry, evaporate the excreted perspiration. This method just mentioned is for general treatment. For local complaints there are detached reflectors, which nre held a little away from the affected part, so that the heat plays upon the place and searches out the disease. The Dowsing system has also bven used with some success in the treatment cf tubercular Joints, and it is believed if the heat rays could be made to penetrate the patient's lungs they would kill the bacillus of consumptiou. An apparatus of this character has been installed in Buckingham Palace, for the use of the King, and when Mr. Clmmberlain was suffering rrom a recent attack cr pout this treatment was resorted to with sue* cess. fi Co tell AVlndoiu.
