Tnlniag*''* Klo(| lent Sermon on Armnc:r«l<lou—The Roglniontx nntl Their Comumiulem—On the Wrong ^hlo. SwonU of Truth. Wasiiinoton, Oct 11.—In his ser mon today Rev. Dr. Tulmngo discussed the great conflict which prophecy foio- ehndowH as the climax of the world’s struggles—Armageddon. His text was Revelation xvl, 1C, "And ho gathered thorn together in a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. ” Megiddo is the name of a mountain that looks down upon Esdrielon, the greatest battlefield that tho world has over soon. There Barak fought tho Ca- uannites; there Gideon fought the Mid- ianitrs; there Josiah fought tho invad ing Egyptians. Tho whole region stands for bottle, and tho Armageddon of my text borrows its namo from it and is hero used not geographically, but fig uratively, while setting forth the idea that (hero is to bo u world's closing battle, tho greatest of all battles, com pared with which tho conflicts of this century ami all other centuries were in significant, bccanso of tho greater num ber of combatants engaged, the greater victory and the greater defeat. The ex act date of that battle we do not know, and tho exact locality is uncertain. It may bo in Asia, Europe, Africa or America, hut tho fact that such a battle will take place is as certain as God’s eternal truth. When I use the superla tive degree in regard to that coming conflict, I do not forgot (hat there have been wars all along on stupendous scale. They Will Not Kamil. As when at Maratbon, Miltiades brought on his men, not in ordinary march, but in full run, upon tho horse men of Persia and the black archers of Ethiopia and scattered thorn and, cry ing, “Bring fire! Bring fire!” sot into flame tho ships cf tho invaders. As when Pizarro overcame Pern. As when Philip II triumphed over Portugal. As when the Huns met tho Goths. As when 800 Spartans sacrificed themselves at Thermopylae. As when tho Carthagin ians took Agrigcntuiu. As when Alex ander headed tho Macedonian phalanx. As when Hannibal invaded Italy. Bat tle of Hastings! Battle of Valmy! Bat tle of Pultowal Battle of Arbeln! Bat tle of Tours! Battle of Borodino) Bat tle of Lucknow 1 Battlo of Solforino! Battlo of Pontcuoy, where 100,000 wore slain! Battlo of Chalons, where 800,000 were massacred 1 Battle of Herat, where Genghis Khan destroyed J,000,000 lives! Buttle of Hoisliar, where 1,747,000 wont down to death) One million eight hundred and sixteen thousand slain at Troy) And American battles, too near us now to allow us to appreciate their awful grandeur and significance, except you who were there, facing the north or facing tho south. But all the buttles I have named put together will not equal in numbers enlisted, cr fierceness, or grandeur, cr triumph, or rout, the com ing Armageddon contest. Whether it shall he fought with printer’s ink or keen steel, whether by brain or muscle, whether by pen or carbine, whether by booming cannon or thunders of Chris tian eloquence, I do not know, and you may take what I say r.s figurative or literal, but take as certain v.hat *St. John, in his vision on tho rocks of the Grecian archipelago, is pleased to call Armagenldon. Tho Rival Commanders. My sermon will first mention the regiments that will be engaged in tho conflict, then will Fay something of the commanders on both sides, and then speak cf tho battle itself and the tro- mondons issues. Beginning with those who witi fight on tho wrong side, I first mention tho regiments diabolic. In this very chapter from which my text is taken wo aro told that tho spirits of devils will be there. How many mil* lions of them no one can tell, for tho statistics of the Satanic dominions have never been reported, and tho roll of that host lias never on earth been called, but fiom tho direful ant contiuental and planetary work they have already dono and flio fact that every man and wom an and child on earth has a tempter there must be at least 1,000,000,000 of evil spirits familiar with our world. Perhaps us many more arc engaged on espeeiul enterprises of abomination among tho nations and empires of tho earth. Besides that there must bo an in conceivably number of inhabitants in realms pandcmonlac, staying there <0 ke«p the groat capitals of sin going from ago to ago. Many of them onco Jived in houven; but, engaging in con spiracy to pul satan on tho throne, they were hurled out and down, and they are now among tho worst thugs of tho uuiv« rro. Having been in three worlds —heaven, earth and hell—they have all tho advantages of great experience. Their power, their speed, their cunning, their hostility, wonderful beyond all statement. In tho Armageddon they will, I doubt not, be pn sent in full array. They will have no reserve corps, but all will Lo at the front. There will not on ly bo soldiers in that battlo who can 1* seen and aimed at, hut troops intangi ble and without corporeity, and weap ons may strike clear through them wit hoot giving them hurt. With what shout of defiance will they climb up the ladders of fire and 4eup from the battle ments of a«hct*tm into tho last campaign .tftwll. Paul, tho bravest of nu n, Was tmjTeHKi d with their might for »vil whjtu be said, “We wrestle not against flush and hlood, but against principali ties and against powers and against tho rulers of tho darkness in this uor 1:1, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Oh, what an agitating 1110- nu^, wiiou tho runkj diabolic move up uin|cJLc their plan* h for conflict in the Armageddon. Thv UeglmrnU A Icolmlto. Other regiments who will march into the light will bo the regiment* alco holic. They will be made up of the brewers' companies, distillery owners and liqurr dealers' associations and the hundreds < f millions of their patrons. They will move into tho ranks with what the Bible calls the "song of the drunkard." And what a bloated and soaked and bleared and blasted and hiccoughing and nauseating host. If now, according to a scientist in Eng land, there are 60,000 deaths annually from strong drink and in the United States, according to another estimate, 98.000 deaths annually from strong drink, what an army of living drunk ards that implies, coming up from the whole earth to take their places in the last battle, especially as tho evil in creases and tho millions now staggering on their way may bo joined by other millions of re enforcements, brigade after brigade, with drunkards’ bom'S drumming on tho head of beer barrels the dead marehof souls! These millions of victims of alcohol, joined by the mil lions of tho victims of arrack, the spir ituous liqnor of China and India and Arabia and Egypt and Ceylon and Siam. Other regiments who will march into the fight on the wrong side will bo the regiments infidel. God gave but one revelation to tho human race, and these meu have been trying to destroy it. Many of the Itooks, magazines and news papers, through perpetual soolT at Chris tianity, and some of the universities, have become recruiting agencies for those regiments. Tho greatesl brigadier of all those regiments, Voltaire, win* closed his life of assault upon Christian ity by writing: ‘‘Happiness is a dream, and only pain is real. I have thought so for 84 year?., and I know no better plan than to resign myself to the inev itable and to reflect that flies are born to bo devoured by spiders and man to bo consumed by care. I wish I had never been born." Oh, the God forsaken regi ments of infidels, who, after having spent their life in antagonizing the on ly influence that could make the earth better, gather with their low wit, and their vile sneer, and their learned idio cy, and their horrible blasphemy, to take part against God and righteous ness in the great Armageddon I To Kill Christiana. Other regiments who will march in on the wrong side in the battle will bo tho regiments Mohammedan. At the present time there arc about 176,000,000 Moslems. Their plain mission is to kill Christians, demean womanhood and take possession of the earth in tho in terest of ignorance, superstition and moral filth. Tho massacre of 60,000 Ar menians in tho last two or throo years is only one chapter in their effort to de vastate tho earth of everything but themselves. So determined aro they in thoir bad work that all tho nations of the earth put together dare nut say to thorn, “Stop, or we will make you st op 1” My hope is that long before that last battlo of which I rpeak tho Turkish government, and with it Mohammedan ism, may bo wiped out of existence. The Turkish power for the last 400 years has been the mightiest hindrance on earth to religious liberty and moral im provement. Her extermination is proph esied in the book of Revelation in the figure of the drying up of the river Euphrates, and she is going rapidly, thank God. In 1820, by the Greek in surrection, she received the first destruc tive blow. In 1823 the Turkoman array of 30,000 was destroyed and the cause of liberty advanced. In 1827 England, France and Russia, not so cautious as they have since been, at Navarino hu miliated the Turkish fleets, and Greece was free. Weaker and weaker the Turk ish power haa become, and it lias lost Algiers and Wallacbin, and, more than all, during the past decade, through her cruelty, has lost tho sympathy of every good man and woman in all tho earth, and if William E. Gladstone were prime minister of England tho Turkish government would very soon cither quit her outrages or go down under the bom bardment of the mrn-of-war from many nations now hovering near tho Bospor us. But if tho Bible prophecy concern ing the drying up of tho Euphrates is not fulfilled before tho battle mention ed in my text Mohammedanism will march in with sword and poison and torch to take her part in tho great Ar mageddon. On the Wrong Mldo. Yea, to show tho magnitude of tho forces on the wrong side, I have to tell you that what is left of heathenism at that time will march into the conflict. There are 160,000,000 fetish idolaters, 220,000,000 Brahmins, 400,000,000 Buddhists. Through tho sublimest move ment of this century, the missionary movement, all tho timo gathering in momentum, I believe all or nearly all of that 770,000,000 of heathendom will bo converted to God. But that which is not converted will come into the Ar mageddon on the wrong side. Other regiments on that wrong side will lx* made up of offenders of all sorts —tho defrauders, the libertines, tho dy namiter.", the anarchists, tho oppressors and tho foes of society, tho criminals of all nations, by whatever name they are now called or shall then bo called. They may not before that have openly taken sides, but then they will bo compelled to tako sides. With what venom, with what violence, with whut dcsjierution they will fall into line at tin* great Ar- mugi dt'oul Is it not appalling, >these uncounted regiments of tho earth, to be joined by the uncounted regiments from perdition? (Jan any power cope with them? Especially when I tell yon who their commander is, for so much in all wars depends upon the chieftain. Their 'ouder will not be a political accident rr a military "happen so. " BytaU nt and adroitness and courage and un- evusing industry ho has come to the bad eminence. Ho disputed tho throne of heaven with Iho Almighty, but no one has over disputed the throne of eternal night with this monarch, who will in the lust buttle take tho field in person. Milton culls him Lucifer, Goothu calls him M* ph stopheles, tho Hebrew calls him Abaddon, tho Greek calls him Apollyon. Ho is tho impersonation of all malevolence, of all oppression, of all cruelly, tho summing up of all fubto- hood. In his make up nothing bad was 1* ft out and nothing good was put in, and he is to be the general, tho com mander in chief of all the forces on tho wrong side in the great Armageddon, lie has been in more battles than you have ever read about, and he has gaiu- (d more victories than have ever been celebrated in this world. But I guess this old warrior of pninlcmcnimn will not have an undisputed field. 1 guess there will be an army to dispute with his forces. I have mentioned tho su premacy of this world. I guess our troops will not have to run when on tho day mentioned in ray text all tho infernal batteries shall bo nnlimboml. Wo have been reviewing the troops dia bolic. Wo have been measuring the cal ibers of their guns. We have been ex amining their ammunition wagons. Now let us look at tho forces to be mar shaled in tiio Armageddon on tho right eide. Tlic Rt-gltnentf Angelic. First of all, I mention the regiments angelie. Alas, that tho subject of de monology seems better understood than the subjects of nngclology. But the glorious spirits around tho throne and all the bright immortals that fill tho galleries and levels of the universe aro to take part in that last great fight, and the regiments angelic aro tho only regi ments capable of meeting the regiments plutonic. To show you something of an angel's power, I ask yon to consider that just 01m of them slew 186,000 of Sennacherib’s host in a night, and it is not a tough arithmetical question to Folve, if cue angel can slay 186,000 troops in a night, how many can 600,000,000 of them slay? Tlie old book says that "they excel in strength. ” It is not a celestial mob, but a disciplined host, and they know their rank. Cher ubim, seraphim, thrones, principalities and powers. And tho leader of those regiments is .Michael tho Archangel. David saw just one group of angels sweep past, and they were 20,000 char ioted. Paul, who in tho Gamalian col lege had his faculties so wonderfully developed, confesses his incapacity to count them by saying, ‘‘Ye aro come to Mount Zion and un innumerable com- p.iny of angels." If each soul on earth lias a guardian angel, then there must be 1,000,000,000 angels on earth today. Besides that, heaven must be full of nu- gels, those who 8tay there. Not only the 12 angels who, we are told, guard the 12 gates, but those angels who help in the worship and go on mission from maiu ion to mansion and help to build the hosannas and iuthronc tho hallelu iahs and roll tho doxologies of the serv ice that never cuds. But they all, if re quired, will be in tho lust fight between holiness and sin. Heaven could afford to adjourn just one day and empty all its temples and mansions and palaces and boulevards into that one battle. I think ail tho angels of God will join in it. F!ro Footed Hosts. The one that stood wi th sword of flame at the gate of paradise. Tho one that pointed Uugar to tho fountain in the wilderness. The one that halted Ba- bumi on tho highway. The one that warned Lot to flee the doomed city. The one that took part with Joshua against the Cunaanitcs. Tho one that informed Mary of tho approach of tho Nativity. The one that wrestled with Jacob at the brook Jabbok. Tho one that swung op-11 the gate for tho incarcerated Apostle Peter. The one that strengthened Chr'^t in his last paroxysm. All, I think, will be there—their velocities inconceivable, so that when Daniel was in prayer Ga- briel, wo arc told, came from heaven to speak to him, and if heaven be at the center of the universe that angel must have traveled thousands of millions of miles in an instant. Talk cf earthly regiments on double quick march I What will ho the speed of the regiments an gelic when at tho command of tho archangel, ‘‘Down to earth! Forward into tho battle!" those regiments an gelic, lightning winged, rainbow gir dled, lire footed, shall sweep into tho great Armageddon. Tho next regiments that I see march ing into tho fight will be tho regiments ecclesiastic. According to the last ac count, and practically only in the be ginning of tho great gospel movement which proposes to take tho whole earth for God, there are 4,600,000 Methodists, 3,726,000 Baptists, 1,280,333 Presby terians, 1,230,000 Lutherans and 040,000 Episcopalians. But tho present statistics of churches will he utterly swamped when, after all tho great denominations have done their best work, the slowest of all the sects will have more numbers than tho present enrollment of all de nominations throughout Christendom. You eee, by that time an atheist or an infidel will be a curiosity, and ho will be looked at as wo look at a man with long hair reaching below his should* rs and 1 ;ng fingernails that are never cut and a stare in tho eyes indicating incipi ent lunacy--not to be argued with, bnt to bo pitied—while it will not bo any unusual thing to see meu as much do- voUd to their religion as Francis Xa vier was devoted to his religion, when ho went through tho streets asking all to come to hear his faith expounded, in t» n years planting the gospel in 60 11a- iious and baptizing over 1,000,000 souls. And th** great hosts of believers will I'll the earth, making tho 2,317,000 combatants that Xe rxes reviewed u cor poral's guard in comparison. Tlie K<‘Kluio»tii Uccli'Hlaittlc. I see them, tho regiments ecclesias tic, moving into that last battle. The Let in rans headed by some gn at Martin Luther yet to Iw born. The Methodists headed by some George Whitefleld yet to come. Tho Presbyterians headed by some John Knox yet to arise. Tho Epis- eopalians headed by some Bishop Uihur- uock yet to bo enrobed. Tho Baptists h* uded 1)}’ Home Missionary Can y yet to bless the world. The Congregational church head* 1 by sonic Doctor Kirk of pentooosfu 1 power yet to take tongue of lire. I m’o th* m moving into the ranks, carrying a standutd striped and stuirod, striped us suggesting him by whose ■tripes we a r o healed and stamid as with the ptoiniso that those who turn many to righteousnes* shall shine a* the stars, forev* r and over. Into that battle on our side will roll those mighty engines cf power, the printing presses | of Ohistendom. Into that battle will also move tlie mightiest telescopes, that shall bring the stars in their coutaes to i fight for our (<od. Again, the regiments elemental will : rome into that battle on tho right side. Tho winds! (V*d showed what ho eould do with them when the splint* roil tim- bers of tho ships of tho Spanish nnnada were strewn on tho rocks of Scotland, Norway and tho Hebrides. The watersl He showed what ho cm. d do with them when lie put tho wh hi earth under them, leaving it subaqueous 160 days. Tho earthquakes! Ho showed what he could do with them when ho let Cara cas drop into tho open mouth of horror and the islands of the sea went into en tombment. Tho lightnings! He showed what ho could do with them when lie wrapped Mount Sinai In flame, and wo have all seen their flushing lanterns moving with the chariots of tho mid night hurricane. All the regiments ele mental will come in on onr side in the great Armageddon. Como, and let us mount and ride along the line and re view tho troops of Emanuel and find that tlie regiments terrestrial and ce lestial that come into that battle on the right side are, as compared with those 0:1 the wrong eide, 2 to 1, 100 to 1, 1,000 to 1. The King of Klngi* In Commaml. But who is the commander in chief on this side? Splendid armies have been ruined, caught in traps, flung over prec ipices and annihilated through tho in competence cr treachery of their gener al. Who commands on our Fide? Jeho- vah-Jireh, so called in one place. "Cap tain of salvation,’’ so called in another place. King of kings, Lord of lords, Conqueror of conquerors. His tyo om niscient, his arm omnipotent. Ho will take tho lead. Ho will draw the sword, lie will give the command. And when ho plants his foot for tho combat tho foundations of the earth will quake, and when he shall give the battlo shout all tho gates of hell will tremble. But do not let us shout until after wo have scon tho two armies clash in tlie last struggle. Oh, my soul 1 The batt 1c of all time and all eternity opens! “For ward!" “Forward!" is tho command on both sides given. Tho long lines of both armies waver and swing to and fro. Swords of truth against engines in fernal. Black horse cavalry of perdition against white horse cavalry of heaven. The redemption of this world and the honor of the throne of God to vindicate. How tremendous is the battle. Tho army of righteousness seems giving way. But no. It is only a part of the maneuver of tho infinite light. It is r. deploy of tho host celestial. What a meeting in this field of splendor and wrath, of the an gelic and of the dianolio, of hosanna and blasphemy, of song and curse, of tho divine and the Satanic. Tho thun derbolts of the Almighty burst and blaze upon tho foe. Boom! Boom! By the torches of lightning that illumine tho scene I see that the crisis of the Arma geddon has come. It is tho turning point of this last battle. Tho next mo ment will decide all. Aye, the forces of Apollyon aro breaking ranks. See, seel They fly! Some on foot, some on wiugl They fly! Back over the battlements cf perdition they go down with infinite crash, all the regiments diabolic. Back to the mountains and caves tho armed hosts of earth, crying as they retreat to the rocks and mountains, "Fall cn us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon tho throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of his wrath has come, and who shall be able to stand?" After the Rattle. And while Apollyon, tho prisoner of war, is being dragged in chains to his dungeon and our conqueror is remount ing his throne I look off upon the bat tlefield, and among tho slain I find tlie carcasses of Mohammedanism and pa ganism and atheism and infidelity and dissipation and fraud and multi tudinous wrong strewing tho plain, and I hear the angel that staudeth in the sun crying in tho words of Revela tion to all tho fowls that fly in tho midst of heaven—tho eagles, and the vultures, and the hawks, and tho alba trosses, "Como and gather yourselves together unto tho supper cf the great God, that yo may cat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh cf mighty men, and tlie flesh of horses, and tf them that sit on them." The prophesied Armageddon of tho text has been fought, and Christ and ids followers have wen tho day. The kingdoms of this world have become tho kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. All tho Christian workers of our time, you, my hearers, and you, my readers, and all tho Christian workers of all the nges have helped on tho mag nificent result, and tho victory is ours us much as theirs. This moment invit- iog all outsiders, througli the ransomed blood of tho everlasting covenant, to got into tho ranks of tho conquerors and un der tho banner of our loader, I shall not close tho service with prayer, as wo usually do, but immediately give out the Moravian hymn, by James Mont gomery, appropriate when written, in 1819, but mere appropriate in 1896, and ask you, with full voices as well as with grateful hearts, to chant it: Boo Jehovah’s banner furl'd, Sheathed his sword.

From experiments made and report ed upon by tho Kansas station it seems conclusively demonstrated that corn smut and the bacterial disease which sometimes attacks cornstalks known as the Burrill bacterial corn disease have no influence in the production of what is known as cornstalk disease in cattle. Observations seem to Indicate that there may be more than one disease or con dition which is liable to be confnsed under tho term cornstalk diseasa There aro indications that what may bo called typical cornstalk disease in cattle in a combination of indigestion and some toxic substance in the cornstalks, pos sibly saltpeter (potassium nitrate). Forcing Lcttaco. Any one with frame room can easily have lettuce till Christmas by planting u succession, say every ten days, from now on. American Gardening says that tho first consideration should be to se lect a sheltered spot for th<> frame where it would catch sun all the day; also have good drainage or tho lettuce will damp off. Of course where there is a greenhouse it is not necessary to try growing them in cold frames so late It is also best not to have tho soil too heavy. Lettuce delights in a sandy, rich soil. Grand Rapids is a good lettuce for cold frames, Big Boston for a head let tuce. Young Orange Trees. It is a good plan to go over tho young orange sprouts onco a week and pinch back those that are running up too tall and slender. This will make them grow more stocky and branch out more. It is much Letter to compel the young sprout to hold itself up than to tie it up and allow it to grow as high and spindling as it may be inclined. If it has to be pinched back several times, so much the bettor. It will bo forced to put out branches and thicken up tho head, be coming symmetrical, well ronnded and self supporting.—Florida Fruit Grower. Cnttlng Timber. The Economic society of Westphalia, says Cosmos, has been attempting to determine the most fitting timo to cut down trees. Results gained from experi ments in this direction make it appear that tho appropriate time for cutting timber to be used for construction is tho month of December, and it seems that the period of cutting should by no means be prolonged into January.
