You feel the blood rushing
along.
But what kind of blood?
That is the question.
Is it pure blood or impure
blood?
If the blood is impure then
you are weak and languid;
your appetite is poor and your
digestion is weak. You can
not sleep well and the morn
ing finds you unprepared for
the work of the day. Your
cheeks are pale and your com
plexion is sallow. You are
troubled with pimples, boils,
or some eruption of the skin.
Why not purify your blood?

and then put your finger on
your pulse again. You can
feel the difference, It is
stronger and your circulation
better. Send for our book on

RFV. DR. TALMAGE PAYS TRIBUTE TO
THE LILY.
In Ills Custer Scrmuii the Elixjuvnt
Divine luterriretM the .tlessnue of
the Flowers—They Siienk In Varied
Tours—Typical of Resurrection.
[Copyright, 1839, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Washington, April 2.—In this Easter
sermon Dr. Talmage interprets the mes
sage which the flowers bring to the
anxious, the dispirited and the bereav
ed; text, Luke xii, 28, “If then God bo
clothe the grass, which is today in the
fleld, and tomorrow is cast into the
oven, how much more will he clothe
you, O ye of little faith Y’’
The lily is the queen of Bible flowers.
The rose may have disputed her throne
in modern times and won it, bnt the
rose originally had only five petals. It
was under the long continued and in
tense gaze of the world that the rose
blushed into its present beauty. In the
Bible train, cassia and hyssop and
frankincense and myrrh and spikenard
and camphor and the rose follow the
lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the
lily mentioned; only twice the rose.
The rose may now have wider empire,
but the lily reigned in the time of
Esther, in the time of Solomon, in the
time of Christ. Caesar had his throne
on the hills. The lily had her throne in
the valley. In the greatest sermon that
was ever preached there was only one
flower, and that a lily. The Bedford
dreamer. John Bnnyan, entered the
house of the interpreter, and was shown
a cluster of flowers and was told to
“consider the lilies.”
We may study or reject other sciences
at our option—it is so with astronomy,
it is so with chemistry, it is so with
jurisprudence, it is so with physiology,
it is so with geology—but the science of
botany Christ commands ns to study
when he says. “Consider the lilies.”
Measure them from root to tip of petal.
Inhale their breath. Notice the grace
fulness of their poise. Hear the whisper
of the white lips of the eastern and the
red lips of the American lily.
Belonging to this royal family of lilies
are the lily of the Nile, the Japan lily
the Lady Washington of the sierras,
the Golden band lily, the Giant lily of
Nepaul, the Turk’s cap lily, the African
lily from the Capo of Good Hope. All
these lilius have the royal blood in their
veins. Bnt I take the lilies of my text
this morning as typical of all flowers,
and their voice of floral beauty seems
to address us, saying, “Consider the
lilies, consider the azaleas, consider the
fuchsias, consider the geraniums, con
sider the ivies, consider the hyacinths,
consider the heliotropes, consider the
oleanders. ” With deferential and grate
ful and intelligent and worshipful souls
consider them. Not with insipid senti
mentalism or with sophomoric vapor
ing, but for grand and practical and
everyday and, if need be, homely uses,
consider them. '■
Angels of the Grass.
The flowers are the angels of the
grass. They all have voices. When the
clouds speak, they thunder; when the
whirlwinds speak they scream, when
the cataracts speak they roav, but when
the flowers speak they always whisper.
I stand here to interpret their message.
What have yon to say to ns, O ye an
gels of the grass? This morning I mean
to disenss what flowers are good for.
That is my subject, “What are floweis
good for?”
I remark, in the first place, they are
good for lessons of God’s providential
care. That was Christ’s first thonght.
All these flowers seem to address us to
day. saying, “God will give you ap
parel and food.” We have no wheel
with which to spin, no loom with which
to weave, no sickle with which to har
vest, no well sweep with which to draw
water, bnt God slakes onr thirst with
the dew, and God feeds ns with the
bread of the sunshine, and God has ap
pareled us with more than Solomonic
regality. Wo are prophetesses of ade
quate wardrobe. “If God so clothed us.
the grass of the field, will he not much
more clothe you, O ye of little faith ?”
Men and women of worldly anxieties,
take this mest'c.ge heme with you. How
long has Gcd taken care of yon? Quar
ter of the journey of life? Half tb#
journey of life? Three-quarters the
journey of life? Can you not trust him
the rest of the way? God does not
promise yon anything like that which
the Homan emperor had on his table at
vast expense—500 nightingales’ tongnes
—but he has promised to take care of
you. He has promised you the necessi
ties, not the luxuries—bread, not cake,
If God so luxuriantly clothes the grass
of the field, will he not provide for you,
his living and immortal children? He
will.
No wonder Martin Luther always
had u flower on his writing desk for in
spiration! Through the cracks of the
prison floor a flower grew up to cheer
Picciola. Mango Park, the great trav
eler and explorer, had his life saved by
a flower, He sank down in the desert to
die: but, seeing g flower near by. it
suggested God’s merciful care, and he
get np with new courage and traveled}
on to safety. I said the flowers pre the
angels of the grass. I add now they are
evangels of the sky
Ises of Flowers.
If yon ask mo the quest! jn. What
are flowers good for? I respond, they
are good for the bridal day. The bride
must have them on her brow, and she
must have them in her hand. The mar
riage altar must be covered with them.
A wedding without flowers would be
as inappropriate as a wedding without
music. At such a time they are for con
gratulation and prophecies of good. So
much of the pathway of life is covered
up with tborna. we ought to cover the
beginning with orange blossoms.
Flowers are appropriate on such oc
casions. for in 90 out of 100 cases it is
the very best thing that could have hap
pened. The world may criticise and
pronounce it an inaptitude and may lift
its eyebrows in surprise and think it
might suggest something better, but
the God who sees the 20. 40, 50 years of
Wedded fife before they have begun ar
ranges for tl»e b^Ht. Bo that flowers, in
almost of! cases, arc appropriate for the
marriage day. Tbs divergences of dis
position will become correspondences,
recklessness will become prudence, fri
volity will be tnrned into practicality.
There has been many an aged widow
ed soul who had a carefully locked bu
reau and in the bureau a box and in
the box a folded paper and in the folded
paper a half blown rose, slightly fra
grant, discolored, carefully pressed. She
put it lliere 40 or 50 years ago. On the
anniversary day of her wedding she
will go to the buieau, she will lift the
box, she will unfold the paper and to
her eyes will be exposed the half blown
bud, and the memories of the past will
rush upon her and a tear will drop upon
the flower and suddenly it is transfig
ured. and there is a stir in the dust of
the anther and it rounds out and it is
*nll of life and it begins to tremble in
the procession up the church aisle, and
the dead music of a half century ago
comes throbbing through the air, and
vanished faces reappear and right hands
are joined and a manly voice promises,
“I will, for better cr for worse,” and
the wedding march thunders a salvo of
joy at the departing crowd, but a sigh
on that anniversary day scatters the
scene. Under the deep fetched breath
the altar, the flowers, the congratulat
ing groups are scattered, and there is
nothing left bnt a trembling band hold
ing a faded rosebud, which is put into
the paper and then into the Ixix and
the box carefully placed in the bureau,
ind with a sharp, sudden click of the
lock the scene is over.
A Handfal of Blossoma.
Ah, my friends, let not the prophecies
of the flowers on your wedding day
be false prophecies! Be blind to each
other’s faults. Make the most of each
ether’s excellences. Remember the
vows, the ring on the third finger of
the left hand and the benediction of
the calla lilies.
If you ask me the question, What
are flowers good for? I answer, they
are good to honor and comfort the obse
quies. The worst gash ever made into
the side of our poor earth is the gash
of the grave. It is so deep, it is so cruel,
it is so incurable, that it needs some-
tiling to cover it up. Flowers for the
casket, flowers for the hearse, flowers
for the cemetery. What a contrast be
tween a grave in a country churchyard,
with the fence broken down and the
tombstone aslant and the neighboring
cattle browsing amid the mullein
stalks and the Canada thistles, and a
June morning in Greenwood, the wave
of roseate bloom rolling to the top of the
mounds and then breaking into foam
ing crests of white flowers all around
the billows of dnst. It is the difference
between sleeping under rags and sleep
ing under an embroidered blanket. We
want old Mortality witb his chisel to
go through all the graveyards in Chris
tendom, and while he carries a chisel
in one hand we want old Mortality to
have some flower seed in the palm of
the other hand.
“Oh,” you say, “the dead don’t
know; it makes no difference to them.”
I think you are mistaken. There are
not so many steamers and trains coming
to any living city as there aro convoys
coming from heaven to earth, and if
there lie instantaneous and constant
couiumnicatiwo between this world and
the better world,do yon not suppose your
departed friends know what you do
with their bodies? Why bssQod plant
ed “goldenrod” and wild flowers In
the forest and on the prairis, where no
human eye ever sees them? He planted
them there for invisible intelligences to
look at and admire, and when invisible
intelligences come to look at the wild
flowers of the woods and the table
lands, will they not make excursion and
see the flowers which you have planted
in affectionate remembrance of them?
When I am dead, I would like to
have a handful of violets—any one
could pluck them out of the grass, or
some one could lift from the odge of
the pond a water lily—nothing rarely
expensive, no insane display, as some
times at funeral rites, where the dis
play takes the bread from the children’s
mouths and the clothes from their
backs, bnt something from the great
democracy of flowers. Rather than im
perial catafalque of Russian czar, I ask
some one whom I may have helped by
gospel sermon or Christian deed to
bring a sprig of arbutus or a handful of
China asters.
Th* Floral Goapel.
It was left for modern times to spell
respect for the departed and comfort for
the living in letters of floral gospel.
Pillow of flowers, meaning rest for the
pilgrim who has got to the end of bis
journey. Anchor of flowers, snggesting
the Christian hope which we have as
an anchor of the son], snre and stead
fast. Cross of flowers, suggesting the
tree on which onr sips were slain- If I
had my way. I would cover up all the
dreamless sleepers, whether in golden
handled casket or pine box, whether a
king’s mansolenm or potter’s field, with
radiant or aromatic arborescence. The
Bible says, “In the midst of the garden
there was a sepulcher.” I wish that
every sepulcher might be in the midst
of the garden,
If yon ask me the question, W T hat are
flowers good for? I answer, “For reli
gions symbolism. ” Have you ever stud
ied Scriptural flora? The Bible is an ar
boretum, it is a divine conservatory, it
is a herbarium of exquisite beauty. If
you want to illnstrate the brevity of
the brightest human life, yon will quote
from Job, “Man cometh forth as a
flower and is cut down.” Or you will
quote from the psalmist, “As the flower
of the field, so he perishetb; the wind
passeth over it and it is gone.” Or you
will quote from Isaiah, “All flesh is
grass, and the goodliness thereof is as
the flower of the fleld.” Or yon will
quote from James the apostle, “As the
flower of the grass, so fie passeth away. ”
What graphic Bible aymbolisml
All the cut flowers will soon be dead,
whatever care you take of them.
Though morning and night you baptize
them in the name of the shower, the
baptism will not he ti* them a saving
ordinance. They have been fatally
wounded with the knife that cut them.
They are bleeding their life away ; they
^re dying now. The fragrance in the
itir is theii departing and ascending
spirits. Oh, yea! Flowers are almost
human. Botanists tell ns that flowers
breathe, they take nourishment, they
eat, they drink. They are sensitive.
They have their likes and dislikes.
They sleep, they wake. They live in
families. They have their ancestors and
their descendants, their birth, their
burial, their cradle, their grave. The
zephyr rocks the one, and the storm
digs the trench for the other. The cow
slip mnst leave its gold, the lily must
leave its silver, the rose must leave its
diamond necklace of morning dew.

Flowers also afford mighty symbol
ism of Christ, who compared himself to
the auci-.iit queen, the lily, and the
modern queen, the rose, when he said:
“I am the rose of Sharon and the lily
of tho valley.” Redolent like the one,
humble like tho other. Like both ap
propriate for the sad who want sympa
thizers and for the rejoicing who want
banqueters. Hovering over tho mar
riage ceremony like n wedding bell, or
folded like a chaplet on the pulseless
heart of the dead. Oh, Christ, let the
perfume of thy name bo wafted all
around the earth—lily and rose, lily
and rose—until the wilderness crimson
into a garden and the round earth
turn into one great bud of immortal
beauty laid against tho warm heart of
God! Snatch down from the world’s
banners eagle and lion and put on lily
and rose, lily and rose.
But, my friends, flowers have no
grander ase that when on Easter morn
ing we celebrate the reanimation of
Christ from the catacombs. The flow
ers spell resurrection. There is not u
nook or corner in all the building but
is touched with the incense. The wom
en carried spices to the tomb of Christ,
and they dropped spices all around
about the tomb, and from these spices
have grown all the flowers of Easter
morn. The two white robed angels that
hurled the stone away from the door of
the tomb hurled it with such violence
down the hill that it crashed in the
door of the world’s sepulcher, and mil
lions of dead shall come forth.
However labyrinthine the manso
lenm, however costly the sarcophagus,
however architecturally grand the ne
cropolis, however beautifully parterred
the family grounds, we want them all
broken up by tho Lord of tho resurrec
tion. The forms that we laid away
with onr broken hearts must rise again.
Father and mother—they must come
out. Husbands and wives—they must
come out. Brothers and sisters—they
must come out. Our darling children—
they must come out. The eyes that with
trembling fingers we dosed must open
in the luster of resurrection morn. The
arms that we folded in death must join
ours in embrace of reunion. The be
loved voice that was hushed must bo re
tuned. The beloved form mnst come np
without its infirmities, without its fa
tigues—it must come up. Oh, how long
it seems for some of youl Waiting—
waiting for the resurrection! How long!
How long! I make for your broken
hearts today u cool, soft bandage of
lilies. I comfort yon this day with thj
thonght of resurrection.

When Lord Nelson was buried in St.
Paul’s cathedral in London, the heart
of all England was stirred. The proces
sion passed on amid the sobbing of a
nation. There were 30 trumpeters sta
tioned at the door of the cathedral
with instruments of music in hand
waiting for the signal, and when the
illuatrioue dead arrived at the gates of
St. Paul's cathedral these 80 trnmpet-
ers gave toe nnited blast, and then all
was silent. Yet tho trumpets did not
wake the dead. He slept right oa. But
I have te tell you, what 80 trumpeters
could not do for one man one trumpeter
will do for all nations. The ages have
rolled on and the clock of the world’s
destiny strikes 9, 10, 11, 12, and time
shall be no longer! Behold tho arch
angel hovering! He takes the trumpet,
points it this way, puts its lips to his
lips, and then blows one long, lond,
terrific, thunderous, reverberating and
resurrectionary blast! Look, look! They
rise! The dead, the dead! Homecom
ing forth from the family vault, some
from the city cemetery, some from the
country graveyard. Hero a spirit is
joined to its body, and there another
spirit is joined to another body, anfl
millions of departed spirits are assort
ing the bodies, and then reclothing
themselves in forms radiant for ascen'
lion.
The earth begins to burn, the bonfire
of a great victory. All ready now for
the procession of reconstructed human
ity ! Upward and away! Christ leads
and all the Christian dead follow, bat
talion after battalion, nation after na
tion. Up, up! On, on! Forward, ye
ranks of God Almighty! Lift up your
heads, ye everlasting gates, and let tho
conquerors come in! Resurrection!
Resurrection!
And so I twist all the festal flowers
of the chapels and cathedrals of all
Christendom into one great chain, and
with that chain I bind the Easter morn-
ji)g of 1899 with the closing Easter of
the world’s history—resurrection! May
the God of peace that brought agaiq
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd of the sheep through
tho blood of the covenant make you
perfect in every good work to do his
will!
