fcuit imkc City has no rain and
could not raise an apple or a bushel of
wheat in a hundred years without arti
ficial help, but is now through such
means one great garden, so all tho un
productive parts of all the continents
will be turned into harvest fields and
orchards. A half dozen Do Lcsseps will
furnish the world with all the canals
noc dod and will change the course of
rivers an 1 open new lakes, and the
great Sahara desert will be cut up into
farms with an astounding yield of
bushels to the acre. The marsh will bo
drained of its waters and cured of its
malaria. I saw what was for many
years called the Black swamp of Ohio,
its chief crop chills and fevers, but
now, by tho tiles put into the ground to
carry off tho surplus moisture, trans
formed into the richest and healthiest of
regions. The God who wastes nothing,
I think, means that this world, from
pole to pole, has come to perfection of
foliage and fruitage. For that reason ho
keeps the earth running through space,
though so many fin s are blazing down
in its timbers and so many metcorio
terrors have threatened to dash it to
pieces. As soon as the earth is complet
ed Christ will divido it up among tho
good. The reason he docs not divide it
now ia because it is not dene. A kind
father will not divide the apple among
his children until tho apple is ripe. In
fulfillment of the New Testament prom
ise, “The meek shall inherit the earth,”
and the promise of tho Old Testament,
“He shall divide the spoil with tho
strong,” tho world will be apportioned
to those worthy to possess it.
It is not so now. In this country, ca-
pablo of holding, feeding, clothing and
sheltering 1,200,000,000 people, and
where we have only GO, 000,000 inhabit
ants, wo have 2,000,000 who cannot
get honest work, and with their families
an aggregation of 5,000,000 that are on
tho verge of starvation. Something
wrong, most certainly. In some way
there will ho a new apportionment.
Many (if the millionaire estates will
crack to pieces on the dissipations of
grandchildren and then dissolve into tho
possession of tho masses who now have
an insufficiency.
From Sin to Rlshteou’incaj.
What, you say, will become of tho
expensive and elaborate buildings now
devoted to debasing amusements? They
will beeomo schools, art galleries, mu
seums, gymnasiums and churches. The
world is already getting disgusted with
many of these amusements, and no won
der. What an importation of unclean
theatrical stuff we have within the last
few years had brought to our shores!
And professors of religion patronizing
such things! Having sold out to tho
devil, why don’t you deliver the goods
and go over to him publicly, body, mind
and soul, and withdraw your name from
Christian churches and say, “Know all
the world by these pn sents that I am a
patron of uncleaniicss and a child of
hell!” Sworn to bo the Lord’s, you arc
perjurers.
If you think these offenses are to go
on forever, you do not know who the
Lord is. God will not wait for tho day
of judgment. All these palaces of sin
will beeomo palaces of righteousness.
They will come into the possession cl
those strong for virtue and strong for
God. “He shall divido the spoil with
tho strong. ”
China and Africa, the two richest
portions of the earth by reason cf
metals and rare woods and inexhaust
ible productiveness, are not yet divided
up among the goed because they are not
ready to be divided. Wait until all the
doors that Livingstone opened in Africa
shall bo entered, and Bishop Taylor,
with his band of self supporting mis
sionaries, have done their work, and
the Ashantis and Scnegambians shall
know Christ as well as you know him,
and there shall be on the banks of tho
Nile and the Niger a higher civiliza
tion than is now to bo found on tho
banks of the Potomac or tho Hudson,
then Christ will divido up that conti
nent among his friends. Wait until
China, which is half as large as all Eu
rope, shall have developed her capaci
ties for rice and tea and sugar among
edibles, and her amethyst and sapphire
and topaz and opal and jasper and por
phyry among precious stones, and her
rosewood and ebony and camphor and
varnish trees among precious woods,
and turned up from her depths a half
dozen Pennsylvanias of coal and iron,
and 20 Ncvadas of silver, and 50 Cali
fornios of gold, and her 500,000,000 of
people shall bo evangelized. Then the
Lord will divide it up among the good.
If my text be not a deception, but tho
eternal truth, then the time is ccniing
when all the farms will te owned by
Christian farmers, and all the com
merce controlled by Christian merchants,
and all tho authority held by Christian
officials, and all the ships commanded
by Christian captains, and all the uni
versities under the instruction of Chris
tian professors; Christian kings, Chris
tian presidents, Christian governors,
Christian mayors, Christian common
council. Yet, what a scouring out!
What an upturning! What a demolition I
What a resurrection must precede thia
now apportionment!
I do not underrate the enemy. Julius
Cunsar got his greatest victories by fully
estimating tho vastness of his foes and
prepared his men for their greatest tri
umph by saying, * ‘Tomorrow King Juba
will be herewith 30,000horses, 100,000
skirmishers and 800 elephants.” Ido
not underrate the vast forces of sin and
death, but do yon know who commands
us? Johovahjireh. And the reserve corps
behind us aro all the armies of heaven
and earth, with hurricane and thunder-
bolt. Tho good work of the world’s re
demption is going on every minute.
Never so many splendid men and glori
ous women on the side of right as today.
Never so many good people as now.
Diogenes has been spoken of us a wise
man because he went with a lantern at
noonday, saying ho was looking for on
honest man. If he had turned his lan
tern toward himself, he might have dis
covered a crunk. Honest men by the 10,-
000! Through the international series
of Sunday school lessons tho next gen
eration jdl through Ciirimeiidom are go-
ing to bo wiser than any generation
since tho world stood. The kingdom is
eoming. God can do it. No housewife
j with a chamois cloth ever polished a
silver teaspooi with more ease than
Christ will rub off from this world the
tarnish and brighten it up till it glows
like heaven, and then tho glorious ap-
1 portionment, for my text is re-enforced
by a score of other texts, when it says of
Christ, “He shall divide the spoil with
Iho strong. ”
Some Grand Sights.
“But,” you say, “this is pleasant
to think of for others, but before that
time I shall have passed up into an
other existence and I shall get no ad
vantage from that new apportionment.
Ah, you have only driven mo to the
other more exciting and transporting
consideration, and that is that Christ
is going to divide up heaven in the same
way. There are old estates in tho celes
tial world that have been in the posses
sion of the inhabitants for thousands of
years, and they shall remain as they
are. There are old family mansions in
heaven filled with whole generations of
kindred, and they shall never bo driven
out. Many of tho victors from earth
have already got their palaces, and they
aro pointed out to those newly arrived.
Soon after our getting there wo will ask
to bo shown the apostolic residences,
and ask whero docs Paul live and John,
and shown the patriarchal residences,
and shall say, “Whero docs Abraham
live or Jacob?” and shown tho martyr
residences and say, “Whero docs John
Hues live and Ridley?” Wo will want
to see tho boulevards, where tho chariots
of conquerors roll. I will want to see
tho garden where the princes walk. Wo
will want to see Music row, where
Handel and Haydn and Mozart and
Charles Wesley and Thomas Hastings
and Bradbury hnvo their homes, out of
their windows, ever and anon, rolling
some snatch of an earthly oratorio or
hymn transported with tho composer.
Wo will want to sec Revival terrace,
where Whitcfleld and Nettleton and
Payson and Rowland Hill and Charles
Finney and other giants of soul reaping
aro resting from their almost supernat
ural labors, their doors thronged with
converts just arrived, coming to report
themselves.
But brilliant as tho sunset and liko
the leaves for number aro tho celestial
homes yet to be awarded when Christ
to yon and millions of others shall di
vido tho spoil. What do you want there?
You shall have it. An orchard? There
it is—13 manner of fruits, and fruit ev
ery month. Do you want river scenery?
Take your choice on the banks of tho
river, in longer, wider, deeper roll than
Danube or Amazon or Mississippi, if
mingled in one, and emptying into tho
sea of glass, mingled with lire. Do you
want your kindred back again? Go out
and meet your father and mother, with
out the staff or tho stoop, and your chil
dren in a dance of immortal glee. Do
you want a throne? Select it from the
million burnished elevations. Do you
want a crown? Pick it out of that moun
tain of diamonded coronets. Do you
want your old church friends of earth
around you? Begin to linm an old re
vival tune, and they will flock from all
quarters to revel with you iu sacred rem
iniscence. All tho earth for those who
aro here on earth at the time of cont i
nental and planetary distribution and
all tho heavens for these who are there.
Consplcaoas Souls.
That heavenly distribution of spoils
will be a surprise to many. Here enters
heaven the soul of a man who took up
a great deal of room in the church on
earth, but sacrificed little, and among
his good works selfishness was evident.
He just crowds througli the shining gate,
but it’s a very tight squeeze, so that tho
doorkeeper has to pull hard to get him
in, and this man expects half of heaven
for his share of trophies, and he would
liko a monopoly of all its splendor and
to purchase lots in the suburbs, so that
he could get advantage of the growth of
tho city. jVell, little by little he gets
grace of heart, just enough to get him
through, and to him is given a second
hand crown which one of the saints
wore at the start, hut exchanged for a
brighter one as he went on from glory
to glory. And ho is put in an old house
once occupied by an angel who was hurl
ed out of heaveu at tho time of satan’s
rebellion.
Right after him comes a soul that
makes a great stir among tho celestials,
and the angels rush to the scene, each
bringing to her a dazzling coronet. Who
is she? Over what realm ou earth was
she queen? In what great Dusseldorf
festival was she thecautatricc? Neither.
She was an invalid who never left her
room for 20 years, but she was strong
in prayer, and she prayed down revival
after revival and pentecost after pente-
ccst upon tho churches, and with her
pale hand she knit many a mitten or
tippet for the poor, and with her con
trivances she added joy to many a holi
day festival, and now with thoso thin
hands so strong for kindness and with
thoso white lips so strong for supplica
tion she has won coronation mid in-
throuement and jubilee. And Christ
said to tho angels who have brought
each a crown for the glorified invalid:
“No, not these. They aro not good
enough. But in tho jeweled vase at
tho right hand side of my throne there
is ouo that I have been preparing for
her many a year, and for her every
pang I have set an amethyst, and for
her every good deed I have set a pearl.
Fetch it now and fulfil 1 tho promise I
gave her long ago in the hirkroom, ‘Bo
Ihou faithful unto death, and I will give
thee a crown. * ”
But notice that there is only one Be
ing in tho universe who can and will
distribute the trophies of earth and
heaven. It is the Divine Warrior, the
Commander In Chief of the Centuries,
the Champion of Ages, tho Universal
Conqueror, tho Sou of God, Jesus. You
will take tho sjKiilH from his hand or
never take them at all. Have his friend
ship, and you may defy all time and
all eternity, but without it you area
pauper, though you had a universe at
your command. We aro told in Revela
tion that Jacob’s 12s<usAvero so
ored as to have tho 12 gates of heaven
named after them—over one gate of
heaven Naphtali, over another gate of
heaven Issachar, over another Dan, over
another Gad, over another Zebnlon,
over another Judah, and so on. But
Christ’s namo is written over all tho
gates and on every panel of tho gates,
and have his help, his pardon, his inter
cession, his atonement, I must cr bo a
forlorn wretch forever. My Lord and
my God, make me, and all who hear mo
this day, and all to whom these words
shall come, thy repentant, believing,
sworn, consecrated and ransomed fol
lowers forever!
The Fiabl Triumph.
What a day it will he! This entire
assemblage would rise to its feet if you
could realize it, the day in which Christ
shall, in fulfillment of my text, divido
the spoil. It was a groat day when
Queen Victoria, in tho midst of the Cri
mean war, distributed medals to tho sol
diers who had come home sick and
wounded. At the Horse guards, in pres
ence of tho royal family, the injured
men were carried in or came on crutches
—Colonel Trowbridge, who lost both
feet at Inkermaun, aud Captain Saycr,
who had the ankle joint of his right leg
shot off at Alma, and Captain Curre,
his disabled limb supported by a soldier,
and others maimed aud disfigured and
exhausted—and with her own hand tho
queen gave each the Crimean medal.
And what triumphant days for thoso sol
diers when, farther on, they received
tho French medal, with tho imperial
eagle, and the Turkish medal, with its
representation of four flags—France,
Turkey, England and Sardinia—and be
neath it a map of the Crimea spread
over a gun wheel. And what rewards
are suggested to all readers of history by
mere mention of tho Waterloo medal,
aud tho Capo modal, aud the Gold Cross
medal, and tho medals struck for brav
ery in our American wars! But how iu-
signifieant all these compared with tho
day when tho good soldiers of Jesus
Christ shall come in out of tho battles
of this world, and iu tho presence of all
the piled up galleries of the redeemed
and tho unfallcn, Jesus, our King, shall
divido tho spoil! Tho more wounds tho
greater the inheritanco. Tho longer tho
forced march tho brighter the trophy.
The more terrible tho exhaustion tho
more glorious tho transport. Not the
gift of a brilliant ribbon, or a medal of
brass, or silver or gold, but a kingdom
in which wo arc to reign forever and
ever. Mansions cu the eternal hills. Do
minions of unfading power. Empires of
unending love. Continents of everlast
ing light. Atlantic ami Pacific oceans of
billowing joy.
It was a great day when Aureliau, tho
Roman cnq)cror, came back from his
victories. In tho front of the procession
were wild beasts from all lands, sixteen
hundred gladiators richly clad, wagon
loads of crowns and trophies presented
by conquered cities. Among the cap
tives Syrians, Egyptians, Goths, Van
dals, Sarmatiaus, Franks, and Zenobia,
the beautiful captive queen, on foot in
chains of gold that a slave had to help
her cany and jewels under tho weight
of which slio almost fainted. And then
came the chariot of Aureliau drawn by
four elephants in gorgeous caparison,
and followed by the Roman senate and
the Roman army, and from dawn till
day the procession was passing. Romo
in all her history never saw anything
more magnificent. But how much great
er tho day when our conqueror, Jesus,
shall ride under the triumphal arches of
heaven. His captives, not on foot, but
in chariots, all tho kingdoms of earth
and heaven in procession. The armies
celestial on white horses. Rumbling ar
tillery of thunderbolts never again to
be uulimbered. Kingdoms in line, cen
turies in line, saintly, cherubic, se
raphic, archangelic splendors in line,
and Christ seated ou one great rolling
hosanna, mado out of all halleluiahs of
all worlds, shall cry halt to tho proces
sion. And not forgetting even the hum
blest in all the reach of his omnipres
ence, he shall rise, and then and there,
his work done and his glory consum
mated, proceed, amid an ecstasy sueli us
neither mortal nor immortal ever im
agined, to divide the sjioil.
Machine Poetry.
John Dwyer of Montana has invented
the rimogruph, of which ho speaks thus:
“By this instrument verse is produced
with linotype rapidity, equal and supe
rior to Shakespeare, Pope, Byron and
Swinburne. Seo specimens. Price, from
$125 upward. All languages. Thirty
percent commission to agents for 1896
allowed and no risk. For terms apply to
John Dwyer. ” And here is a specimen
of tho “poetry” turned out by tho rimo-

Brief Cultural Notes—Soino of tho More
Promising Novelties—Standard Sorts.
For tho oarly crop, sowing is done in
February, March or April, according to
latitude—iu a word, as scon as tho soil
can he worked. For succession repeat
ed sowings are mado every two weeks
up to tho 1st of June. Then, as a rule,
sowing ceases, but if you want a crop
for fall use bow again about the middle
of August, and tho chances aro you will
get a fair crop.
For early crops a light, rich soil with
application of decomposed leaf mold
gives best results.
For the general crop a deep loam or
a soil inclined to clay will bo found fa-

A Feminine Prophet.
A young woman In Paris, who says
she is inspired by the angel Gabriel, is
predicting the future, and thousands of
credulous people are consulting her.
Her favorite topic is war, and she de
clares that Franco has erred and is to
bo chastised. England, too, is to have
her pride lowered. 8he predicts that
war will break out before the eud of
tho year, but it will bo preceded by an
other revolution which will convulse
France. Tho ecclesiastical authorities

vorablo. A good dressing oaght to be
applied, especially for tho dw T arf grow
ing kinds, which require a rich soil.
The general crop is almost never staked,
being sown iu single rows and from
two to throe foot apart, according to the
variety. When grown in small quanti
ties in the garden, peas aro generally
sown in double rows six or eight inch
es apart, aud tho tall varieties staked off
with brush or on a trellis.
Among varieties that aro catalogued
as novelties is Carter’s pea, the Daisy,
a wrinkled and lino flavored intermedi
ate kind. The Juno is described as a
dwarf, main crop, wrinkled marrow pea,
prolific aud of good flavor. Nott’s Ex
celsior, it is claimed, is a most valuable
variety among iho dwarf early wrinkled
peas. Tho New Life pea is liked because
of its largo, dark green pods borne on
dwarf vines. It possesses many of the
good qualities of the well known Strata
gem.
Among extra early peas that have
been tested aro, first of all, Chelsea, Tom
Thumb, American Wonder, Premium
Gem, Little Gem, Laxtou’s Extra and
Alaska. Included with tested medium
or second early peas aro Abundance, Mc-
Clcan’s Advancer, Horsford’s Market
Garden, Shropshire Hero aud Admiral.
Well known among tho main or late
croj) peas are tho Marrowfats, Telephone,
American Champion, Champion of Eng
land, Evolution aud Pride of the Mar
ket.
Cotton Seed For Beef.
Experiments reported upon from the
North Carolina station make it appear
that it pays to feed c< ttonseed hulls to
beef creatures, if not in not cash at least
in tho increased value of tho manure.
Tho food per head has been at tho rate
of two pounds of hulls to one pound of
cottonseed meal, and from that up to
seven pounds of hulls to ouo of meal.
At tho North Carolina station steers
thrived for months on a ration that in
cluded one pound of dry cottousood meal
to each 100 pounds of live weight, wheu
fed iu tho proportion of or 2 pounds
of hulls to ouo of meal. On this heavy
feeding they ate all tho food offered
them. More than half tho dry matter in
thoso rations was digested, aud it is evi
dent that feeding tho meal with tho
hulls increased their digestibility.

any other kind of dressing. It stop
ped the hair from falling out, stimu
lated a new growth of hair, and kept
the scalp free from dandruff. Only

natural color. I never hesitate to
recommend any of Ayer’s medicines
to my friends.”—Mrs. II. M. Haight,
