tml the Redeemed of the Lord Say So.
Public Profession of Christ — An Elo
quent Confession—Conversion of Rev. Dr.
Vnlmage.
Washington, Jan. 19. — Rev. Dr.
Talmage never produced a more prac
tical and suggestive sermon than this of
today. We believe it will stir Christen
dom. His subject was “Say So,’’ and
the text selected was Psalms evii, 2,
“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.’’
An overture, an antiphon, a doxology
ia this chapter, and in my text David
calls for an outspoken religion and re
quests all who have been rescued and
blessed no longer to hide the splendid
facts, but to recite them, publish them
and as far as possible let all the world
know about it. “Let the redeemed of
the Lord say so. ” There is a sinful reti
cence which has been almost canonized.
The people are quite as outspoken as
they ought to bo ou all subjects of poli
tics" and are fluent and voluble on the
Venezuelan question and bimetallism
and tariffs high and low and remodeled
and female suffrage, and you have to
skillfully watch your chance if you
want to put into the active conversation
a modest suggestion of your own, but
on the subject of divine goodness, reli
gious experience and eternal blessedness
they are not only silent, but boastful of
their reticence. Now, if you have been
redeemed of the Lord, why do you not
say so? If you have in your heart the
pearl of great price, worth more than
the Kohinoor among Victorian jewels,
why not let other see it? If you got off
the wreck in the breakers, why not toll
of the crew and the stout lifeboat tjiat
safely landed yon? If from the forfth
story yon are rescued in time of coifla-
gration, why not tell of the fireman aid
ths ladder down which he carried ycu?
If you have a mansion in heaven awni-
iug you, why not show the deed to tho«
who may by the same process get at

(bid’s love in Jesus
Christ and how we are brought near to
God as our Father by him. ’’
What a thrill went through tho meet
ing in Portland, (Jr., when an ox attor
ney general of the United States arose
and said: “Last night I go; up and
asked the prayers of God’s people. I feel
now perfectly satisfied. Tho burden is
rolled off and all gone, and I feel that I
could ruu or fly into the arms of Jesus
Christ.”
What a record for all time and eter
nity was made by Gellacius, the play
actor, in the theater at Heliopolis. A
burlesque oi Christianity was put upon
the stage. In derision of tho ordinance
of baptism a bathtub filled with water
was put upon the stage, and another ac
tor, in awful blaspln my, dipped Gella-
cius, pronouncing over him tho words,“I
baptize thee in the name of the Father,
of the Sou and of tho Holy Ghost. ” But
coming forth from the burlesque bap
tism ho looked changed and was
changed, and he cried out to the audi
ence: “I am a Christian. I will die as
a Christian. ” Though he was dragged
out and stoned to death, they could not
drown the testimony made under such
awful circumstances: “I am a Chris
tian. I will die as a Christ ; m. ” “Let
the redeemed of the Lord say so.”
What a confirmation would come if
all who had answers to prayers would
speak out; if all merchants in tight
places because of hard times would tell
how in response to supplication they got
the money to pay tho note; if all farmers
ia time of drought would tell how in an
swer t " prayer the rain came just in
time to save the crop; if all parents who
prayed for a wandering son to come
home would tell how not long after
they heard the boy’s hand on the latch
of the font door!
Samuel Hick, an English Methodist
*7 the last two words of my text David' preacher, solicited aid fur West India
caUtf upon all of us who have received missions from a rich miser and failed,
any mercy at tho hand of God to stop! Then the minister dropped on his knees,
impersonating tho asylums for the dumb and tho miser said, “I will give thee a
and iu the presence of men, women, guinea if thou wilt give over. ” But tho
arqjels, devils and all worlds “say so. ” miuister continued to pray, until tho
Experience. miser said, “1 will give then 2 guineas
In thoqjK C - 4 „ary days, thousands of jif thou wilt give over.” Then the inou-
Hainisters^.- J private Christians are
wondering about the best ways of start
ing a revival of religion. I can tell you
a way of starting a revival, continental,
hemispheric and worldwide. You say a
revival starts in heaven. Well, it starts
in heaven just as a prosperous harvest
•tarts in heaven. The sun must, shine
and the rains must descend, but unless
you plow and sow and cultivate the earth
you will not raise a bushel of wheat or
a peck of corn bet ween now and the cud
of the world. How, then, shall a uni
versal revival start: By all Christian
people telling tho story of their own con
version. Lot ten men and’women get up
next week in your prayer meeting and,
not in a conventional or canting or dole
ful way, but iu tho same tone they em
ploy iu the family or place of business,
tell how they crossed tho line, and
the revival will begin then and there, if
the prayer meeting has not been so dull
ns to drive out all except those concern
ing whom it was foreordained from all
eternity that they should bo there. There
are ho many different ways of being con
verted that we want to hoar all kinds,
ho that our own case may be helped. It
always puts mo back to hear only one
kind of experience, such as a man gives
when he tolls of his Pauline conversion
—how he was knocked senseless, and
then had a vision and heard voices, and
after a certain number of days of horror
got up and shouted for joy. All that dis
courages mo, for I was never knocked
senseless, and I never had such a sudden
burst of religious rapture that I lost my
equilibrium. But after awhile a Chris
tian man got up in some meeting and
told us how ho was brought up by a de
vout parentage, and had always been
thoughtful about religious things, and
gradually tho peace of the gospel came
into his soul like the dawn of the morn
ing—no perceptiblo difference between
moment and moment—but after awhile
all perturbation settled down into a
hope that had consoled and strengthened
him during nil the vicissitudes of a life
time. I said, “That is exhilarating;
that was my experience. ” And so I was
■trengthonod.
In another prayer meeting a ^an got
up and told us how ho once hated God
and went through all the round of in
iquity until wo were all on nettles lest
he should go too much into tho particu
lars, but one day ho was by some reli
gious power hurled flat and then got up
a Christian and hud over since been go
ng around with a Baxter Bible with
<urgo flaps under his arm, a floating
evangelist. Well, under this story many
are not helped at all, for they know
they never hated God, and they were
never dissolute. But after awhile some
Christian woman arises and says, “I
have nothing extraordinary to tell, yet
I think tho cares of life, the anxieties
about my children and two graves
opened iu onr family plot made me feel
the need of God, and weak and helpless
and hoartbrokou I flung myself upon
his mercy, and I feel what the Bible
calls the ‘peace of God which passeth all
understanding, ’ and I ask your prayers
that I may live nearer to the Christ who
has done so much forme.” I declare
that before that woman got through we
were all crying, not bitter^
tears of joyful emotion,

i place where children were In ard pray-

en, take courage; the children are pray-
Dgforus. ” Nothing can stand before
raycr. An infidi 1 came into a Lihlo
lass to ask puzzling questions. Many of
bo neighbors came in to hear the dis-
assion. The infidel arose and said to
»o leader of the Bible class, “1 hear

<ld tho leader, “but at tho start let. us

In conjugal life tho honeymoon is
soon past, and the twain lake it for
granted that each is thoroughly under
stood. How dependent ou each other
they become, and tho years go by, and
perhaps nothing is said to make tho
other fully understand Unit sense of de
pendence. Impatient w«irds sometimes
come forth, and motives ::ro misinter
preted, and it is taken as a matter of
course that the two will walk the path
of life side by side until about tho same
time their journey shall bo ended, but
some sudden and appalling illness un
loosens the right hands that were clasped
years before at the altar of orange blos
soms, the parting takes place, and
among tho worst of all the sorrows is
that you did not oftener, if you ever did
at nil, tell her or tell him how indis
pensable she was or how indispensable
he was to your happiness, and that in
some plain, square talk long ago you did
not ask for forgiveness for infirmities
and neglects, and by sumo unlimited ut
terance make it understood that you
fully appreciated tho fidelity and re-en
forcement of many years. Alas, how
many such have to lament tho rest of
their lives, “Oh, it 1 had only said so!”
Let the Redeemed Suy :•'<>.
My subject takes a \vid< r range. The
Lord has hundreds of thousands of pim
ple among those who have never joined
his army because of some high ideal of
what a Christian should bo or because
of a fear that they may not hold out or
because of a spirit of procrastination.
They have never publicly professed
Christ. They have is much right to llio
sacraments and as much right to all the
privileges of the church as thousands
who have for years been enrolli d in
church membership, and yet they have
made no positive utterance by which tho
world may know they love (iod and are
ou the road to heaven. I hoy are re
deemed of tho Lord and yet do not say
so. Oh, what an augmentation it would
be if by some divine impulse all those
outsiders should become insiders. I tell
you what would bring them to their
right places, and perhaps nothing else
will—days of persecution. If they were
compelled to take sides us between
Christ and his enemies, they would take
the side of Christ, and the fagots and
the instruments of torture and the anath
emas of all earth and hell would not
make them blanch. Martyrs are made
out of such stuff as they are. But lot
them not wait for such days as I pray
to God may never come. Drawn by the
sense of fairness and justice and obliga
tion, let them show their colors. Let the
redeemed of tho Lord say so.
This chapter from which I take my
text mentions several classes of persons
who ought to bo out.-pi ken, among
them all those who go on a journey.
What an opportunity you have, you who
spendso much of your time on rail trains
or on shipboard, whether on lake 01
river or sea! Spread the story of God’s
goodness and your own redemption
wherever you go. You will have many
a long ride beside some one whom you
will never see again, some one who is
waiting for one word of rescue or con
solation. Make every rail train and
steamer a moving palace of saved souls.
Casual conversations have harvested a
great host for God.
There are many Christian workers in
pulpits, in mission stations, in .Sabbath
schools, iu unheard of places who are do
ing their host for God and without any
recognition. They go and come, and no
one cheers them. Perhaps all tho reward
they get is harsh criticism, or repulse,
or their own fatigue. If you have ovei
heard of any good they have done, let
them know about it. If you find some
one benefited by their alms, or their
prayers, or their cheering word, go and
tell them. They may bo almost ready to
give up their mission. They may be al
most iu despair because of the seeming
lack of results. One word from you may
bo an ordination that will start them on
the chief work of their lifetime. A
Christian woman said to her pastor:
“My usefulness is done. I do not know
why my life is spared any longer, be
cause I can do no good. ” Then tho pas
tor replied, “Yon do me gnat good ev
ery habbath. ” Shoasked, “Howdol-do
you any good?” ami ho replied, “In the
first place, you are always iu y<iur seat
in the church, and that helps me, and in
the second place you are always wide
awake and alert, looking right up into
my face, and that helps me, and in the
third place I often see tears running
down your cheeks, and that helps me.”
What a good thing ho did net wait until
she was dead before ho said so!
Why Not Erstow Eraine?
There mo hundreds of ministers who
javo hard work to maka sermons be
cause no one expresses any nppn ciatiou.
They ere afraid of making him vain.
Tho moment the benedict ion is pro
nounced they turn on their heels and go
out. Perhaps it was a subject on which
he had put especial pains. He sought for
the right text, and then did Ids best to
put the (dd thought into some new shape.
He had prayed that it in.ght go to tho
hearts of the people, lie had added to
the argument the most vivid illustra
tions lie could think of. He had deliver
ed all with a power that left him nerv
ously exhausted. Five hundred people
may have been blessed by it and resolved
upon a higher life and nobler purposes.
Yet all ho hears is tho clank of tho pew
door, or the shuflling of feet in the
aisle, or some remark about tin 1 weather,
the last resort of inanity. Why did not
that man come up and say frankly,
“You havo'dom* mo good?” Why did
not some woman come up and say, “I
■hall go home to take up the burden of
!y?” Why did not
ssioual limn come up and say:
'iminie, for that good ad
0 it. God bless you.”
tell bin bo? 1 have
4 | ^ W», in the nervous loac-
<
tion that come- to some after the de
livery of a sermon with no seeming re
sult, to go homo and roll on tho floor iu
agony.
But to make up for this lack of out
spoken reli:; r a there needs to ho and
will bo a great day when, amid the so
Icmnit cs and gramleuts of a listening
universe, God will “say so. ” No statis
tics can state how many mothers have
rocked cradles and hovered over infan
tile sicknesses and brought up their
families to manhood and womanhood
and launched them upon useful and suc
cessful lives, and yet never received one
“Thank you ’ that amounted to any
thing. Tho daughters became queens in
social life or were affianced iu highest
realms of prosperity; tho sons took tho
first honors of tho university and became
radiant iu monetary or professional
spheres. Now the secret of all that up
lifted maternal influence must come out.
Society did not say so; the church did
not say so; tho world did not say so, but
on that day of all other days, the last
day, (-iod will say so.
There are men to whom life is a grind
and a conflict, hereditary tendencies to
bo overcome, accidental environments to
be endured, appalling opposition to be
met and conquered, and they never so
much as had a rose pinned to their coat
lapel iu admiration. They never had a
suing dedicated to their name. They
never had a book presented to them
with a complimentary word ou tho fly
leaf. All they have to show for their
lifetime battle is scars. But in the last
day tho story will come out, and that
life will be put iu holy and transcendent
rhythm, and their courage and persist
ence and faith and victory will not only
bo announced but rewarded. “These are
they that came out of great tribulation
and had their robes washed and made
white in the blood of the Lamb. ” God
will say so!
Wo miss one of tho chief ideas of a
last judgment. Wo put into tho picture
the fire, and the smoko, and the earth
quake, and the descending angels, and
tho uprising dead, but wo omit to put
into tho picture that which makes the
last judgment a magnificent oppurtu-
uity. Wo omit the fact that it is to boa
day of glorious explanation and com
mendation. Tho first justice that mil
lions of unrewarded and unrecognized
and unappreciated men and women get
will bo ou that day, when services that
U' ver called forth so much as a newspa
per line of finest pearler diamond type,
as tho printers term it, shall be called
up for coronation. That will he the day
of uithrquemeut for thoso whom the
world called “nobodies.” Joshua, who
commanded the sun and moon to stand
still, needs no last judgment to got jus
tice done him, but thoso men do need a
last judgment who at times in all
armi< s, under tho most violent assault,
in obedience to command themselves
stood still. Deborah, who encouraged
Barak to bravery in battle against the
oppressors of Israel, needs no last judg
ment to get justice done her, for thou
sands of years have clapped her ap
plause. But tho wives who in all ages
have encouraged their husbands in the
ha.ties of life, women whose names
were hardly known beyond the next
street or the next farmhouse, must have
Go.I say to them: “ You did well. You
did gloriously. 1 saw you down in that
dairy. 1 watched you in tho old farm
house moaning those children’s clothes.
I heard what you said in tho way o.
cheer when the breadwinner of the
household was in despair. 1 romembei
all the sick cradles you have sung to. I
remember (lie backaches, tho headaches,
tho heartaches. I know the story of your
knitting needle as well as I know the
story of a queen’s scepter. Your castle
on the heavenly hill is all ready for
you. (Jo up and take it.” And turning
to tho.surprised multitudes of heaven ho
will say, “She did what she could.”
God will say so.
IViKoiiitl Experience.
And now I close with giving my own
personal testimony, fur 1 must not en
join upon others that which I decline
myself to do. Born at Bound Brook, N.
J., of a parentage as pious as the world
oversaw, 1 attest before earth and heav
en that I have always felt tho elevating
and restraining influence of having had
a good father and a good mother, and if
I am able to do half as well for my
children as tho old folks did for me I
will bo thankful forever. The years of
my life passed ou until, at about 18
years of ago, i felt the pressure of eter
nal realities, and after prayer and reli
gious counsel I passed into what I t ook to
he a saved slate and joined the church,
and I attest before earth and heaven
that I have found it a most helpful and
inspiring association. I like the com-
punionsliip s > well that I cannot bo sat
isfied if 1 have u day less of it lliau all
eternity. After graduating at collegiate
and theological institutions 1 had the
hands of 10 or 12 good men put upon
my head in solemn ordination, at Belle
ville, N. J., and 1 attest before earth and
neaven that the work of the gospel min
istry lias been delightful, and I expect
to preach until my last hour. Many
times 1 have passed through deep water
of bereavement and but for the divino
promise of heavenly reunion i would
have gone under, hut 1 attest before
earth and heaven that the comfort of the
go.-pel is high, deep, glorious, eternal.
Many times have i been maligned and
my work micreproscuted, but all such
falsehood and persecution have turned
out for my advantage and enlarged my
work, and 1 attest before earth and
heaven that God has fulfilled to me tho
promises, “Lo! I uin with you alway,”
and “The gates of hell shall not prevail
against yon. ”
For the cheer of younger men in all
departments let 1110 say you will come
out all right if you mind your own busi
ness and are patient. The assault of the
world is only being rubbed down by a
rough Turkish towel, and it improves
the circulation and makes one m< rovig-
ormiM While the future holds for 1110
many mysteries which I do not pretend
to solve, 1 am living in expectation that
when my poor work is done, 1 shall go
through tho gates and meet my Lord and
all my kindred who have preceded me,
a precious group whom I miss more and
more as the years goby, a::d I attest be
fore earth and heaven that 11: • glories of
tho heavenly world illu one my path
way. In courts of law tec wi:ue.ss may
kiss the Bible or lift his rigid hand in
oath, hut as I have often ho d tho dear
old book 1 now lift my i ..;lit hand and
take oa ii by him that liv ih forever and
ever that God is good, and that the gos
pel is a mighty consolation in days of
trouble, and that tho best friend a man
ever had is Jesus, and that heaven is ab
solutely sure to thoso who trust and
serve the blessed Redeemer, to whom be
glory and dominion and victory and
song and chorus of white robed immor

Fungous Dist-asn Among Chinch Hugs.
There have been sent to Illinois fann
ers about 4,000 packages of material for
tho spread of tho fungous disease among
chinch bugs from the office of the state
entomologist. The reports received and
the experiments tried at tho experiment
station farm are not encouraging as to
the general efficacy of this method of
destroying tho bugs, especially in dry
weather. It will bo remembered that,
unlike Dr. Snow’ of Kansas, Professor
Forbes has never been sanguine in re
gard to this distribution method, al
ways insisting that some harrier and
trap method should be used either in
preference or in addition to efforts to
secure the spread of disease among tho
bugs. While less has been written on
tho subject than in former years, it
seems clear that the bugs are more gen
orally distributed over the. state than
they have been formally years, and that
in many places they are as plentiful and
have done as much harm as in any for
mer year.—Prairie Farmer.
New Uses For Molasses.
Molasses lias been used as a stock feed
for distilling purposes, and now’ it is
being used for the additional purposes
of paving, for mortar aid as a lining
for furnaces At a recent meeting of tho
sugar planters of Louisiana, and report
ed upon in the Texas Farm and Ranch,
these uses of molasses were fully
discussed, and the fact was developed
that mixed with clean sand in proper
proportion it made a lending material
;!•* adhesive and more elastic than ce
ment, and that several experiments had
been made in furnaces by coating com
mon bricks with molasses mortar, and
using tin 111 for furnaces instead of fire-
brick. and that all tests wore satisfac
tory The only thing Licking is a thor
ough test of durability, which of course
requires tune.
Superiority of Clover.
The superiority of clover over timothy
never perhaps was more apparent in
Ohio than during the present season.
The former stood the May freezes and
the severe drought following better and
has yielded double the amount of feed
that timothy does. Another very im
portant item in its favor is its forti liz
mg property. At least ten bushels move
of corn per acre can be raised with Less
work for man and beast on a clover than
on a timothy sod. Its freedom from llie
ravages of worms is another strung
point.— American Agriculturist.
A I’owerl'ul Hurniiig fJlass.
The most p weiTul sunglass ever c on-
strueted in Franco was that made un
der the supervision of tho savant M.
do Villette. This glass generated Ineat
sufficient to meltia copper coin of tho
size of our KilviT*2i> cent piece in
seconds.
George Parker-of Fleet street, Lou
don, made a glass much more powerful
than that which resulted from the
Frenchman's efforts. Parker’s was th reo
feet in diameter and so powerful thu ; it
was actually used to melt substances
which were too refractory for tho f .ir-
uaces. The best authorities on heat nay
that it had a power of lt!0,3G2 degrees
F. This is best understood when it- is
known that it only takes a temperature
of 2,787 degrees to molt cast iron so that
it will flow like water.—St. Louis Re

attend to my business as I should. In
connection with this I had liver trouble,
heaviness about the stomach, and pains in
differentpartsof my body. I wasalsomuch
reduced in ilesh. I was persuaded to try
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine.
I first procured a trial bottle from a local
druggist and good results quickly followed. I
then procured a dollar bottle, and by tho time
I had used this up I was a different man. I
am now on my third bottle and am able to
sleep soundly ana eat regularly, something
I could not possibly do lie fore taking your

hesitate to pronounce J)r. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine tho orcatast nervine on earth."
