Washington, March 15.—Tho freez-
ng blasts which have swept over tho
icuntry at tho tinio wo expected spring
feather make this sermon especially
*ppropriate. Dr. Tahuago’s text was
Psalm cxlvii, 17, “ Who can stand before
his cold?”
Tho almanac says that winter is end
ed and spring has come, but tho winds,
and the frosts, and tho thermometer, in
ome places down to zero, deny it. Tho
salmist lived in a more genial climate
than this, and yet ho must sometimes
have been cut by tho sharp weather. In
this chapter ho speaks of tho snow like
wool, tho frost like ashes, tho hail
stones like marbles, and describes the
cougealmeut of lowest temperature. Wo
have all studied tho power of tho heat.
How few cf us have studied tho power
of tho frost! “Who can stand before his
cold?” This challengo of the text has
auy times been accepted.
Oct. 19, 1812, Napoleon’s great army
began its retreat from Moscow. Ono
hundred and fifty thousand men, 50,000
horses, GOO pieces of cannon, 40,000
stragglers. It was bright weather when
they started from Moscow, but soon
aomething wrathicr than tho Cossacks i
swooped upon their flanks. An army of
tic blast:-, with icicles for bayonets
and hailstone.- for shot, and commanded
by voice of tempest, marched after them,
:ho flying artillery of tho heavens in
mrsnit. Tho troops at nightfall would
athcr into circles and huddlo thom-
Ivcs together for warmth, but when

brash!ng their arms about them to re

impelled to confess, “none of us can

A LfHHon In Common Sense.
Ono-half of tho industries of our dav
aro employed in battling inclemency of
tho wouthw. Tho furs of tho north, tho
cotton of tho south, tho flax of our own
Iflelds, tho wool of our own Uocks, tho
1 from our own mines, tho wood
rom our own forests, all employed in
bottling those inclemencies, and still ev
ery winter, with blue lips and chattering
teeth, answers, “None of us can stand
before this cold. ” Now, this being such
cold world, God sends out influences
it. I am glad that tho God of
1b tho God of tho heat; that
of tho mow is tho God of tho
te blossoms; that tho God of Janu
ary is tho God of Juno. Tho question as
to how shall we warm this world up is
a question of immediate and all encom-
iasHing practicality. In this zone and
Mather there aro r.o many firoloss
earths, so many broken window panes,
fo tunny dofoctivo roofs that sift tho
now. Coal and wood and flannels and
tick coat aro better for warming up
oh a place than tracts and Bibles and
beds. Kindle that tiro where it has
one oat. Wrap aomething around those
jiivering limbs. Shoe those bare foet.

foreign embassadors, hut Mrs. Kirk
land, in her interesting book, gives a
more inspiring portrait of Martha Wash- I
ington. yhe comes forth from her hus
band’s hut in the encampment, tho hut
16 feet long by 14 feet wide—she comes
forth from that hut to nurse tho sick, to
sew the patched garments, to console
tho soldiers dying of the cold. That is a
better picture of Martha Washington.
Hundreds of garments, hundreds of tons
of coal, hundreds of glaziers at broken
window sa: lies, hundreds of whole
sonic d men and women, arc necessary to
warm tho wintry weather. What aro
we doing to alleviate tho condition of
those not so fortunate as we? Know yo
not, my friends, there aro hundreds of
thousands cf people who cannot stand
before his cold? It is useless to preach
to baro feet, and to empty stomachs,
and to gaunt visages. Christ gave the
world a lesson in common sense when,
before preaching the gospel to the mul
titude in tho wilderness, ho gave them a
good dinner.
Winter of GlntlnesR.
When I was a lad, I remember seeing
two rough woodcuts, but they made
more impression upon mo than any pic
tures I have overseen. They were on op-
Tho one wcodent repre-
tho snow m wm-
posito pages,
sented tho c<
ter and a lad looking out at the door of
a great mansion, and ho was all wrap
ped in furs, and his cheeks were ruddy,
and with glowing counte nance he shout
ed, “It snows, it snows 1” On the next
page there was a miserable tewincnt,
and tho door was open, and a child, wan !
and sick and ragged and wretched, was
looking out, and lie said, “Oh, my God, I
it snows!” The wintir of gladness or of
grief, according to our circumstances.
But, my friends, there is more than one
way of warming up this cold world, for
it is a cold world in more respects than
one, and I am here to ccm-ult with you :
as to tho best way of wanning up tho j
world. I want to have a great heater in
troduced into all your cluirch.es and all
your homes throughout the world. It is
a heater of divine patent. It has many
pipes with which to conduct heat, and
it has a door in which to throw tho find.
Once get this heater introduced and it
will turn tho arctic zone into tho tem
perate, and the temperate into tho
tropics. It is the powerful heater, it is
the glorious fmnaco of Christian sympa
thy. Tho question ought to bo, instead
cf how much heat can wo absorb, How
much heat can we throw out? There aro
men who go through tho world floating
icebergs. They freezo everyth nig with
their forbidding look. Tho hand with
which they shako yours is as cold as the
paw of a polar bear. If they float into
a religious me: ting, tho temperature
drops from 80 above to 10 d< greos below
zero. There aro icicles hanging from
their eyebrows. Thoy float into a reli
gious meeting and thoy chill everything
with their jeremiad.-. Cold prayers, cold
songs, cold greetings, cold sermons.
Christianity on icc! Tho church a great
refrigerator. Christians gone into winter
quarters. Hibernation! On tho other
baud, there aro people who go through
tho world like tho bref.th of a spring
morning. Warm greetings, warm pray-
j ers, warm rmi’os, warm Christian inllu-
I cnco. There aro such persons. We bless
I God for them. Wo rejoice in their com-
| panionship.

A general in the English army, tho
1 army having halted for the night, hav-
1 ing lost his baggage, lay down tired and

came up and said: “Why, you have no

and tenderly steadies this wounded man
until ho gets him on toward tho tavern,
the wounded man holding on with the
little strength ho has left, ever and anon
looking down at the good Samaritan
and saying: “You aro very kind. I had
no right to expect this thing of a Sa
maritan when I am an Israelite. You
aro very kind to walk and let mo ride. ’
Now they have come up to tho tav
ern. The Samaritan, with the help of
tho landlord, assists tho sick and wound
ed man to dismount and puts him to j
bed. The Bible says tho Samaritan staid
all night. In the morning, I suppose, ;
tho Samaritan went in to lock how his
patient was and ask him how ho passed
tho night. Then ho comes out—tho
Samaritan comes out and says to tho
landlord: “Hero is money to pay that
man’s board, and if his convalescence
is not as rapid as I hope for, charge the i
whole thing tome. Good morning, all. ”
Ho gets on tho beast and says, “Go i
along, yon beast, but go slowly, for !
those bandits sweeping through the
laud may have left somebody else i
wounded mid half dead.” Sympathy!
Christian sympathy! How many such |
men as that would it take to warm tho
cold world up? Famine in Zarepthath.
Everything dried up. Thero is a widow
with a sou and no food except a hand
ful of meal. She is gathering sticks to
kindle a fire to cook tho handful of
meal. Then she is going to wrap her
arms around her boy and die. Here
comes Elijah. His two black servants,
tho ravens, have got tired waiting on
him. Ho asks that woman fur food.
Now, that handful of me.'fcl is to ho di
vided into three parts. Before, it was
to be divided into two parts. Now, she
says to Elijah, “Como in and sit down
at this sol run table and take a third of
tho last mease]. ” How many women
liko that would it take to warm the
j cold world up?

1 Recently an engineer in the south
west, on a locomotive, saw a train com
ing with which ho must collide. Ho re
solved to stand at his post and slow np
tho train until tho last minute, for
there were passengers behind. Tho en
gineer said to tho iiroman: “Jump! Ono
man is enough on this engine! Jump!”
Tho fireman jumped and was saved.
The crash camo. Tho engineer died at
his post. How many men like that en
gineer would it take to warm this cold
world up? A vessel struck on a rocky
island. Tho passengers and tho crow
wero without food, and a sailor had a
shellfish under his coat. Ho was saving
it for his last morsel. Eo heard a little
child cry to her mother:“Oh, mother, 1
am :o hungry; give mo something to
eat. I am so hungry!” Tho sailor took
tho shellfish from under his coat and
said: “Hero! Take that.” How many
men liko that sailor would it take to
warm the cold world up? Xerxes, flee
ing fri m his enemy, got on board a
boat. A great many Persians leaped in
to tho samo boat and tho boat was sink
ing. ticn-.a ono said, “Aro you not will-
| ing to make a siuriiico for your king?”
and tho majority of there who wore in
; tho boat leaped overboard and drowned
tianhopo, rwurroctiou hope, which shall
not go out until tho last cerement is
taken off and tho last mausoleum breaks
open.
Warmth ami nope.
Ah! I am so glad that tho Sun of
Righteousness dawned on the polar
night of tho nations. And if Christ is ,
tho great warmer, then tho church is
tho great hothouse, with its plauts and ,
trees and fruits of righteousness. Do
yon know, my friends, that the church
is tho institution that proposes warmth?
I have been for 27 years studying how
to make the church warmer. Warmer
architecture, warmer hymnology, wann
er Christian salutation. All outside Si
berian winter, we must have it a priucc’s
hothouse. Tho only institution on earth
today that proposes to make tho world
warmer. Universities and observatories,
they all have their work. They propose
to make the world light, hut they do
not propose to make the world warm.
Geology informs us, but it is as cold as
tho rock it hammers. Tho telescope
shows where tho other worlds arc, but
an astronomer is chilled while looking
through it. Christianity tells us of
strange combinations and how inferior
affinity may bo overcome by superior
affinity; hut it cannot tell how all
things work together for good. Worldly
philosophy has a great splendor, but it
is tho splendor of moonlight on an ice
berg. Tho church of God proposes
warmth and hope—warmth for tho ex
pectations, warmth for tho sympathies.
Oh ! I am so glad that these great altar
fires have been kindled. Come in cut
of the cold. Como in, and have your

used for transplanting and growing tho

A gardener who has given tho compart

poses prefers it to the ordinary tray, or

Ho departed
a few moments and
then camo back and covered (ho general
up with a very warm blanket. Tho gen
eral said, “Whosoblanket is this?” Tho
officer replied, “I got that from a pri
vate soldier in tho Scotch regiment,
Ralph MacDonald.” “Nov;,” said tho
general, “you tako thi:- blanket right
back to that soldier. Ho can no more do
without it than I can do without it.
Never bring to mo tho blanket of a pri
vate soldier.” How many men like that
general would it take to warm tho
world up? The vaG majority of us are
anxious to get moro blankets, whether
anybody else is blanketed or not. Look
at tho fellow fe( ling displayed in tho
rocky defile between Jerusalem and
Jericho in Scripturo times. Hero is a
man who has been set upon by tho
bandits, and in tho struggle to keep his
property ha has got wounded and
mauled and stabbed, and holies there
half dead. A pri' t rides along. Ho sees
him and says: “Why, what’s tho mat-
tor with that man? Why, ho must bo
hurt, lying on tho flat of his back. Isn’t
it strange that ho should lie there! But
I can’t stop. I am on my way to temple
services. Go along, you beast. Carry
mo up to my temple duties.” After
awhile a Devito comes up. Ho looks
over and says: “Why, that man must
bo very much hurt. Gashed on tho fore
head. What a pity. tabbed under bis
aim. What a pity. Tut, tut! Whnt a
pity! Why, they have taken bis clothes
nearly away from him. But I haven’t
time to stop. 1 lead tho choir up in tho
temple service. Go along, y< u beast.
Carry mo up to my temple duties.”
After awhile a Samaritan comes along
—ono who you might suppose through a
national grudge might have rejected this
poor wounded Israelite. Coining along
ho sees this man and says: “Why, that
man must bo terribly hurt. I si o by his
features bo is an I raolito, but ho is a
man and he is u brother. ‘Whoa I’ ” says
Die Samaritan, and ho gets dow n off tho
boast and comes up to this wounded
man, gets down on ono knee, listens to
seo whether the heart of the unfortunate
man is still beating, makes up his mind
there is a chance for resuscitation, goes
to work at him, takes out of his sack a
bottle of oil and a bettlo o ’ wine, cleanses
tho wound with some wine, then pours
Borne of tho restorative in tho wounded
man's lips, then takes sumo oil and with
it soothes the wound. After awhile ho
takes off a part of his garments for u
bandage. Now tho sick and wounded
man sits up, pulo and exhausted, but
to save th: ir king. How many men liko
that would it take to warm np this cold
world? Elizabeth Fry went into the
horrors of Newgate prison, and she
turned tho imprecation and tho obsceni
ty and the filth into prayer and repent
ance and a reformed lift.. Tho sisters cf

a great backlog with great strain ::nd
put it down on fho back of tho heart h.
Then tho lighter wood was put on, arm

Tho thermometer iu Palestine never

very poor on the hilltops. Christ stepped
out of a warm heaven into tho cold
world that cold December night. Tho
vorld’s r< ception was cold. The surf of

great warmer, to warm tho earth, and all
Christendom today fools the glow. He
will keep on warming tho earth until
tho tropic will drive away tho arctic
and the antarctic. Ho gave an intima-
tku of what ho was going to do when
bo broke up the t urn ral at tho gate of

Chicago’s Wonderful Grov.th,
In tho seventeenth century the present
site of Chicago was a swamp, which fur
traders and missionaries found fatally
miasmatic. About 1800 a government
engineer, viewing that rank morass
traversed by a sluggish, stream, pro
nounced it tho only spot on L. 1 o Michi
gan where n city could not . fii.ilt. In
1804 Fort Dearborn was erected here to
counteract British influence. In 1812 tho
foit was demolished by Indians, but iu
1810 rebuilt, nud it continued standing
till 1871. Around tho little fort in 1840
were settled 4,500 people. Tho number
was 80,000 in 1850; 100,000 in 1800,
800,000 in 1870. In 1880 tho community
embraced 508,185 souls; in 1800 it had
1,009,850. In 1855 the indomitable city
illustrated her spirit by pulling herself
bodily out of her natal swamp, lifting
churches, blocks and Jjouscs from 8 to 10
feet, without pause in general business.

Of the deep attachment which existed
between tho late Prince Henry of Bnt-

was it. They both carried thoir lovo for
each other on their sleeves. In this con
nection an anecdote is related: Last year
Princess Beatrice had her portrait dque
by a well known lady pastelist, who,
while a thorough artist, knows how to
combine u good liki ness with a pretty
picture. One morning when the portrait
was nearly finished Prince Henry hap
pened to enter tho studio. After a min-
nto examination, the prince remarked:
“But you have not made my wife stout
enough. I am fond of my stout frau,
sinoo it shows sho is happy. ” The por
trait was altered.—Loudon Tit-Bits.

inch pots, thus shifting as required from

without divisions for seedlings, as wo
can get at tho plants without so much
prying and digging, cutting out little
Idocks with a sharp, thin knife. Wo
also find these trays excolleut to estab

Sv.bNoij;n~ Clay .Soils.
American Cultivator claim:: that it
does little pe -d to subsoil a :‘iff clay,
especially one that i.s inclined to bo wet,
without first underdraining it. “When
ever such soils become filled and satu
rated with water, tho clay having been
broken up by tho subsoiler, tho clay and
water will run together and dry into a
mass mr.ro impervir a . to water than be
fore. When an und» rdrain is construct
ed, tho broken particles of soil do not
run togethr r as tho surplus water drips
through them and passes away through
tho underdrain. Wherever thero is a
drain tile within reach, tho clay broken
by the suhsoih r can never become com
pact us it was before. Subsoiling such
land enables tho frost to peuetrato dt ep-
er than it o!h< rwiso would. .Subsoiling
land that is without drainage has been
tho cause of great injury to clay soils.
Yet it may occasionally benefit even
those if done lato in tho fall and a dry
winter follows. But after a year or two
tho soil is likely to b como filled with
water, and will thci rclapso to a worse
state than at first. ”

Comb Foundation.
To tho question, “Do yonmakoor buy
your comb foundation?” 25 beekeepers
responded through the columns of Tho
American Boo Journal. Sixteen of them
buy their foundation. W. M. Burnum
said: “I have always jircferred buying
my foundation, as I consider that tho
cheaper ami hyfar less trouhlesonio way.
Only about 1 per o< ut c f the apiarists of
my personal acquaintance make it them
selves, and I doubt if that per cent lasts
long.” Rev. E. T. Abbott wrote: “I buy
it for tho samo reason I buy my flour—
because 1 think a man who devotes his
time and energy to manufacturing a
thing of this kind can do a better job
than I can. As beekeeperu aro supposed
to bo men of average intelligence, I
should say very few make it.” II. I).
Cutting, who has made and bought largo
quantitiev of foundation, prefers to buy
tho brood, and mako tho thin.
