AN ILL EAST WIND.
REV.
DR. TALMAGE GAYS THAT GOD
CONTROLS IT.
Ho Ackuov.lcilccs That It T«Ue« Almlelity
Graco’ta E.i Wo Should IJo Under
the Chill Ea.:t Wind—The Use* of Trou
ble.
* Wasiiint.ton, J-yp ?.—lu Ids dis
course today Rev. Dr. Talmagc pointed
ent the consolations which the religion
of Christ extends to all who are in trou
ble and specially to sucli>as arc in deep
misfortune or sutTeriug from bereave
ment. Ho chose as his text Exodus x,
13, ‘‘And the Lord brought an east
wind upon the land all that day and all
that night.”
The reference here is not to a cyclone,
but to the long continued blowing of the
wind from an unhealthful quarter. The
north wind is bracing, the south wind
is relaxing, but the. east wind Is Irritat
ing and full of thre at. Eighteen times
does the Hible speak against tlio east
wind Moses describes the thin ears
blasted by the cast wind. The psalmist
describes the breaking of the ships of
Tarshish by tlio east wind. The locusts
that plagued Egypt were borne in on the
east wind. The gourd that sheltered
Jonah was shattered by the east wind,
and in all the 6,000 summers, autumns,
winters, springs, of the world’s exist
ence the worst wind that e'er blew is
the east wind. Now, if Cod would only
giyo us a climate pf perpetual nor’west-
er, how genial and kind and placid and
industrious Christians wo would all be!
But it takes almighty grace to bo what
we ought to be under the cast wind.
Under the chilling and wet wing of
tho-cast wind the most of the world’s
yjlluinic:;, frauds, outrages, suicides
and murders have been hatched ont 1
flunk if you shonld keep a mctcorologi-
pal history of the days of the year and
put right beside it the criminal record
pf the country you would fipd thaf

and increase npon me. I tell nobody,
but I am very much sunk indeed, and I
wish I could have the relief of weeping
as I used to. My days arc exceedingly
dark and distressing. In a word, Al
mighty God seems to hide his face, and
I intrust the secret hardly to any earthly
being. I know not what will become of
me. There is doubtless a good deal of
bodily affliction mingled with this, but it
is not all so. I bless God, however, that
I never lose sight of the cross, and
though I shonld die without seeing any
personal interest in the Redeemer’s
merits, I hope that I shall be. found at
his feet. I will thank you fer a word at
your leisure. Ely door is bolted at the

tears. ’
The En-.t Wind.
What was the matter with the dean
of Carlisle? Had he got to be a worse
man? No. The physician said that the
state of his pulse would net warrant his
living a minute. Oh, if the cast wind
affects the spleen, and affects tho lungs,
and affects the liver, it will affect your
immortal soul. Appealing to God for
help, brace yourself against these with
ering blasts and destroying influences,
Jest that which the psalmist said broke
the ships pf Tarshish shipwreck you.
But notice in my text that the Lord
controls the cast wind: ‘‘Tho Lord
brought the oast wind.” He brings it
for especial purpose; it must sometimes
blow from that quarter. Tho cast wind
is just as important as tho north wind,
or the south wind, or the west wind,
but not so pleasant. Trial must com'',
^ho text does not say you will escape
the cutting blast. Whoever did escape
jt? Especially who that accomplished
guy thing for church or state cve'r escaped
it? I was in the pulpit of John Wesley,
in London, a pulpit where ho stood one
flay and said, “I have been charged
With gll the crimes in the catalogue ex
cept one—that of elrunkenuess, ” and a
woman arose in ihq audience and said,
“John, you were drunk last night.” So
.John Wesley passed under the flail.
J sa\y in a foreign ibqfuq) a •vport of
pno of George Wliitcucld’s sermons—a
sermon preached a huinlredmja^f^c^y
Of thirty years cs
pose. They do not come at random.
Here is tho promise: “Ho stayeth his
rongh wind in tho day of tho east
wind.” In tho tower of Loudon tho
swords and the guns of other ages are
burnished and arranged into huge pas
sion flowers and sunflowers and bridal
cakes, and you wonder how anything so
hard as steel could be pnt into such
floral shapes. I have to tell you that the
hardest, sharpest, most cutting, most
piercing sorrows of this life may be
made to bloom and blossom and put on
bridal festivity. The Bible says they
■hall be mitigated, they shall be as
suaged, they shall be graduated. God is
not going to allow yon to be overthrown.
A Christian woman, very much de
spondent, was holding her child in her
arms, and the pastor, trying to console
tho woman in her spiritual depression,
said, “There, you will let your child
drop.” “Oh, no,” she said, ‘‘leouldu’t
lot the child drop. ” Hesuid, ‘‘You will
let the child drop. ” “Why,” she said,
‘ ‘if I should drop the child here, it would
dash his life out!” “Well, now,” said
the Christian minister, "don’t you think
God is ns good as yon are? Won’t God,
your Father, take as good care of you,
Jus child, as you take care of your child?
God won’t let you drop. ”
Uses of Trouble.
I suppose God lets the east wind blow’
just hard enough to drive ns into tho
harbor of God’s protection. We all feel
WO Call manage our own affairs. Wo
have hejui and compass and chart and
quadrant. Give ns plenty of sea room
and wo sail on and sail on; but after
awhile there comes a Caribbean whirl-
Wind np the coast, and wo are helpless
ip tho gale, and wo cry out for harbor.
AH our calculations upset, wo say with
the poet:
Clvint-o uni’ doeny on nil nronnd I feo.
Ob, thou who chnngcst not, nbide with ni«>!
The south wind of mild providence
makes us throw off tho cloak of Chris
tian charactef and wo catch cold, but
tho sharp cast wind of trouble makes us
WT-flP around us (he warm promises,
The best thing that ever happens tons
is trouble. That is a bard thing perhaps
to say; but I repeat it, for God an-
of death, “weeping may endure for a
night, but joy comcth in tho morning. ”
Across the harsh discords of this world
rolls the music of the skies—music that
breaks from the lips, music that breaks
from tho harps and rustles from tho
palms, music like falling water over
reeks, music like wandering winds
among leaves, music like caroling birds
among forests, music like ocean billows
storming the Atlantic beach. “They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more, neither shall the sun light on
them nor any heat, for the Lamb which
is in the midst of tho throne shall lead
them to living fountains of water, and
God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes. ” I sec a great Christian fleet ap
proaching that harbor. Somo of tho
ships come in with sails rent and bul
warks knocked away, but still afloat
Nearer and nearer tho shining shore.
Nearer and nearer eternal anchorage.
Haul away, my lads; haul away! Some
of the ships had mighty tonnage, and
others were shallops easily listed of tho
wind and wave. Some wero meu-of-war
and armed of the thunders of Christian
Rattle, and others wore unpretending
tugs taking others through the Nar
rows, and some wore coasters that
never ventured out into the deep seas of
Christian experience; but they are all
coining nearer the wharf—brigantine,
galleon, line of battle ship, longboat,
pinnace, war frigate—and as they come
into, the harbor I find that they are
driven by tho long, loud, terrific blast
of tho east wind. It is through much
tribulation that yon are to outer into the
kingdom of God.
You have blessed God for the north
wind, and blessed him for tho south
wind, and blessed hi.:i fer tho west
wind; can yon not in lhe light of this
subject bless him for the cast wind?
Nearer, my God. to theo,

independent of his physical health. An
eminent pliysiciau gave os his opinion
that no man ever died a greatly tri

Christian commentator, says he does not
think Saul was insane when David

a hypochondria coming from iuflamma-

gation by means of snrfjfco iron pipes
and garden hose. Tho fall from the
reservoir is only a few feet, and conse

tho inch faucets and hose the discharge
averages three gallons per minute. Three
faucets are already in nse, placed at the
higher ends of as many paths, or four

therefore for irrigation, as at present
arranged for, is about nine gallons per
minute, or 17 barrels in an hour.
Following is a summary of the report
of results gained last season:
Irrigation, owing to the lateness in
the season when the water was piped to
the field, was confined to only a few*
weeks of untnir.n. Four crops received
the water before it was too late for re
sults to bo obtained—namely, a second
crop of bush beans, peppers, turnips

superior. Tbo estimated cost fer the in
crease of yield is 45 cents per bushel.
Irrigation prolonged the period of
fruitfulness with peppers, nearly dou
bled tho yield and improved tho quality.
With eggplants, mulching, which is
a mild form of irrigation, gave encour
aging results, and it is believed that ir
rigation employed earlier in the season
would have been very beneficial. With
tomatoes a new growth was produced,

Irrigation greatly increased (be loaf
development of turnips, and (here would
bavo been a corresponding growth of
roots bnt for clnhrou?, which practically
mined tbo crop.
Irrigation for celery gave tho most
striking result in favor of irrigation. In
ronud numbers tho crop was increased
to two and one-half times that upon
belts noj yoeelving the water. In mar
ketablo product in pounds tho difference
was (lirce to one, and in marketable
value about eight to one in favor of ir-
rigatiw.
In Early Gardening.
A woman gardener tells American
Agriculturist that she has abandoned a
lettuce bed. 6hewrit.es:
In earliest gardening I mix lettuce
with other seeds, especially with union,
beet and similar slow germinating va
rieties. The lettuce comes np soon and
makes it easy to keep tbo row clea* of
weeds until the other seeds ore np. 'iiiD
lettneo then is pulled as space is need
ed. Lettuce, and radishes, too, ore sown
together tho summer through, making
a succession of both, and having them
crisp and tender. Root crops occupy so
little space at first that lettuce does not
interfere at all, and the pulling is a
benefit, loosening the earth about them..
I often mix other seeds, putting cabbPRV
as I want them to stand with early
lettneo or radishes, and tomato seed
with later crops that are to bo pulled
up. * Thus I eoououiixQ space, time and
labor.
Protection Against Frost.
Water vapor is tho approved protec
tion against frost Tho latest in this
lino is spraying small fires with water.
Rapid evaporation takes place and the
beat of the fire is greatly consumed in
evaporating the water, aud tho vapor
rising from the fire is almost immedi
ately condensed in the lower air. The
beat is thus made sensible in the region
needing protection.
In carrying out this plan small Area
of smudge material shonld be estab
lished, and when they are buruim
brightly each should be partly extfn-
gnished by spraying water ujafllthetn
and us they reoover ihew^rfmar bright
