HAIR ■ «T T ▼ ^ A A A ; So many persons have hair that is stubborn and dull. ^ rxLr ^ won t LP Vh 0 ,:^ the reason? Hair needs help just as anything else does at times. The roots re quire feeding. When hair stops growing it loses its lus ter. It looks dead. acts almost instantly on such hair. It awakens new life in the hair bulbs. The effect is astonishing. Your hair grows, be comes thicker, and all dandruff is removed. And the original color of early life is restored to faded or gray hair. This is alwavs the case. $! .CO a bottle.

I'he Flower* and Fruits of Hell- jgions Devotion — The lleauty of Hiuht l.l\ ing. Washington, Rcpt. 2.—This sermon Dr. TaImage semis from a halting p’ace in his Journey through the val leys of Switzerland. It seems to have been prepared amid the bloom and aroma of a garden midsummer. The text is Song of Solomon v, 1, “I am come into my garden.” The Bible is a great poem. We have in ils faultless rhythm and bold im agery and startling antithesis and rap turous lyric and sweet pastoral and in structive narrative and devotional psalm; thoughts expressed In style more solemn than that of Montgomery, more bold than that of Milton, more terrible than that of Dante, more nat ural than that of Wordsworth, more impassioned than that of Pollok, more tender than that of Cowper, more weird than that of Spenser. This great poem brings all the gems of the earth into its coronet and it weaves the fiames of judgment into its garlands and pours eternal harmonies in its rhythm. Everything this book touches it makes beautiful, from the plain stones of the summer thrashing iloor to the daughters of Nahor lilling the troughs for the camels; from the iisb pools of lleshbon up to the psalmist praising God with diapason of storm and whirlwind, and Job’s Imagery of Orion, Arcturus and the Pleiades. My text leads us into a scene of sum mer redolence. The world has had a great many beautiful gardens. Charle magne added to the glory of his reign by decreeing that they be established all through the realm—deciding even the names of the llowers to be planted there. Henry IV, at Montpellier, es tablished gardens of bewitching beauty and luxuriance, gathering into them Alpine, Pyrenean and French plants. One of the sweetest spots on earth was the garden of Sbenstone, the poet. His writings have made hut little Impres sion on the world; but his garden,“The Leasowes,” will be immortal. To the natural advantages of that place was brought the perfection of art. Arbor and terrace and slope and rustic temple and reservoir and urn and fountain here had their crowning. Oak and yew and hazel put forth their richest foliage. There was no life more diligent, no soul more ingenious than that of Sbenstone, and all that dili gence and genius he brought to the adornment of that one treasured spot. He gave £t;(K) for It; he sold it for £17,000. And yet, 1 am to tell you to day of a richer garden than any 1 have mentioned. It iy the garden spoken of in my text, the garden of the church, which belongs to Christ, for my text says so. He bought it, he planted it, he owns it, and he shall have It. Walter Scott, in his outlay at Abbots ford, ruined his fortune; and now, In the crimson flowers of those gardens, you can almost think or Imagine that you see the blood of that old man’s broken heart. The payment of the last £100.000 sacrificed him. But 1 have to tell you that Christ’s life and Christ’s death were the outlay of this beautiful garden of the church, of which my text speaks. Oh, how many sighs and tears and pangs and agonies! Tell me, ye women who saw him hang! Tell me, ye executioners who lifted him and let him down! Tell me, thou sun that didst hide; ye rocks that fell! “Christ loved the church and gave him self for it.” If the garden of the church belongs to Christ, certainly he lias a right to walk in it. Come, then, O blessed Jesus, today; walk up and down these aisle-;, and pluck what thou wilt of sweetness for thyself! The Church nn a Garden. The church, In my text. Is appro priately compared to a garden, because it is a place of choice flowers, of select fruits and of thorough irrigation. That would be a strange garden In which there were no flowers. If no where else, they would he along the borders or at the gateway. The home liest taste will dictate something, if It he only the old fashioned hollyhock or dahlia or daffodil; but if there be larger means, then you will find the Mexican cactus and blazing azalea ami cluster ing oleander. Well, now, Christ comes to his garden and he plants there some of the brightest spirits that ever flowered upon the world. Some of them are violets, inconspicuous, but sweet as heaven. Von have to search and find them. You do not see them very often, perhaps, but you find where they have been by the brightened face of the invalid and the sprig of gera nium on the stand and the new window curtains keeping out the glow of the sunlight. They are, perhaps, more like the ranunculus, creeping sweetly along amid the thorns and briers of life, giving kiss for sting; and many a man who lias had in his way some great black rock of trouble has found that they have covered It all over with flowery jasmine running in and out amid the crevices. Those flowers In Christ's garden are not. like the sunflower, gaudy In the light, but wherever darkness hoversover a soul that needs to be comforted, there they stand, night blooming cereuses. But In Christ’s garden there are plants that may be better compared to the Mexican cactus—thorns without, love liness within; men with sharp points of character. They wound almost every one that touches them. They are hard to handle. Men pronounce them noth ing but thorns, but Christ loves them notwithstanding all their sharp nesses. Many u man lias had a very hard ground to cultivate, and It 1ms only been through severe trial he 1ms raised even the smallest scrap of grace. A very harsh minister was talking to a very placid cider, and the placid elder said to the harsh minister: “Doc tor, I do wish you would control your temper.” “Ah,” said the minister to the elder, “I control more temper In five minutes than you do In live years.” It Is harder for some men to do right than for other men to do right. The grace that would elevate you to the seventh heaven might not keep your brother from knocking a man down. I had a friend who came to me and said, “I dare not Join the church.” I said, “Why?” “Oh.” he said, “I have such a •violent temper. Yesterday morning 1 was crossing very early at the Jersey City ferry, and I aaw a milkman pour a large quantity of water Into the milk con. ajjd 1 raid to him: T think tlifli will do,’ and he Insulted me, and I knocked him down. Do you think I ought to Join the church?” Neverthe less, that very same man, who was so harsh In his behavior, loved Christ, and could not speak of sacred things with out tears of emotion and affection. Thorns without, sweetness within—the best specimen of Mexican cactus I ever saw. “Giants of Battle.” There are others planted In Christ’s garden who are always radiant, always Impressive—more like the roses of deep hue that we occasionally find, called “giants of battle;” the Martin Luthers, St. Hauls, Chrysostoms, Wycliffes, Latimers and Samuel Rutherfords. What In other men is a spark In them Is a conflagration. When they sweat, they sweat great drops of blood. When they pray, their prayer takes Are. When they preach, it Is a Pentecost. When they fight. It is a Thermopylse. WJieu they die, It Is a martyrdom. Y’ou find a great many roses In the gardens, but only a few “giants of bat tle.” Men say, “Wby don’t you have more of them in the church?” I say, “Why don’t you have In the world more Humboldts and Wellingtons?” (Jod gives to some ten talents, to others one. In this garden of the church which Christ has planted also find the snow drops, beautiful but cold looking, seem ingly another phase of winter. I mean those Christians who arc precise in their tastes, nuimpassioned, pure as snowdrops and as cold. They never shed auy tears, they never get excited, they never say anything rashly, they never do anything precipitately. Their pulses never flutter, their nerves never twitch, their indignation never boils over. They live longer than most peo ple, but their life is lu a minor key. They never ruu up to C above the staff. In their music of life they have no staccato passages. Christ planted them In the church, and they must be of some service or they would not be there. Snowdrops—always snowdrops. But I have not told you of the most beautiful flower In al! this garden spo ken of In the text. If you see a centu ry plant, your emotions are started. You say, “Why, this flower has been a hundred years gathering up one bloom, and it will be a hundred years more before other petals will come out.” But I have to tell you of a plant that was gathering up from all eternity and that l.'.KM) years ago put forth its bloom nev er to wither. It is the passion plant of the cross. I'ropbets foretold It; Beth lehem shepherds looked upon It in the bud; the rocks shook at its bursting, and the dead got up iu their winding sheets to see its full bloom. It is a crimson flower—blood at the roots, blood on the branches, blood on the leaves. Its perfume Is to fill all the uatious. Its breath is heaven. Come, O winds from the north and winds from the south and winds from the east and winds from the west, and bear to all the earth the sweet smelling sa vor of Christ, my Lord! HI* worth If all the nationi knew, Sure the whole earth would love him too. Tbe Place of Fruit*. Again, the church may be appropri ately compared to a garden, because It is a place of fruits. That would be a strange garden which had In It no ber ries, no plums or peaches or apricots. The coarser fruits are planted In the orchard or they are set out ou the sun ny hillside; but tbe choicest fruits are kept In the garden. So In the world outside the church Christ has planted a great many beautiful things—pa tience, charity, generosity, integrity; hut ho Intends tbe choicest fruits to bo iu the garden, and If they are not there, then shame on the church. Religion is not a mere flowering sen timentality. It is a practical, life giv ing healthful fruit—not posies, but ap ples. “Oh,” says somebody, “I don’t see what your garden of the church has yielded.” Where did your asylums come from, and your hospitals, and your institutions of mercy? Christ planted every one of them. He plant ed them In his garden. When Christ gave sight to Bartimeus, he laid the cornerstone of every blind asylum that has ever been built. When Christ soothed the demoniac of Galilee, he laid the cornerstone of every lunatic asylum that has ever been established. When Christ said to tbo sick man, “Take up thy bod and walk.” bo laid (ho cornerstone of every hospital tbe world has ever seen. When Christ said, “I was In prison, and ye visited me,” he laid the cornerstone of every prison reform association that has ever been organized. The church of Christ is a glorious garden, and it is full of fruit. I know there Is some poor fruit In It. I know there are some weeds that ought to bo thrown over tbo fence. I know there are some crab- apple trees that ought to be cut down. I know there are some wild grapes that ought to be uprooted. But are you going to destroy the whole garden be cause of a little gnarled fruit? You will find worm oaten leaves In Fon tainebleau and Insects that sting iu the fairy groves of the Champs Ely- sees. You do not tear dowu and de stroy tbe whole garden because there are a few specimens of gnarled fruit. 1 admit there are men and women In the church who ought not to be there; hut let us be frank and admit the fact that there are hundreds and thousands of glorious Christian men and women —holy, blessed, useful, consecrated, ami triumphant. There is no grander collection in all the earth than the col lection of Christians. There are Chris tian men lu every church* whose re ligion is not a matter of psalm singing ami churcbgolug. Tomorrow morning that religion will keep them Just os consistent and consecrated lu their worldly occupation as It ever kept them^ the communion table. There ara|^pi>en with us today of a higher typ^PTf character than Mary of Bethany. They not only sit at the feet of Christ, but they go out Into tbe kitchen to help Martha lu her work, that she may sit there too. There is a woman who has a drunken husband, who 1ms exhibited more faith and pa tience and courage than Ridley In the lire, lie was consumed In 20 minutes. Hers lias been a 20 years’ martyrdom. Yonder Is a man who has been H> years on his hack, unable to feed himself, yet calm umJlJCQceful as though he fay ou one of tbe green hanks of heaven, watching tbe oarsmen dip their pad dles In the crystal river! Why, It seems to me at this moment us if Kt- I’a ni threw to us a pomologlst'a cata logue of tbe fruits growing lu this great garden of Christ—lo^i, Joy, peace, patience, charily, brotherly kindness, gentleness, mercy; glorious fruit, enough to fill all tbe baskets of earth and heaven. The Tree of Merer. I have not told you of the better tree In this garden and of the better fruit It was planted just outside Jerusalem u good while ago. When that tree was planted. It was so split and bruised and barked meu said nothing would ever grow upon It, hut no sooner had that tree been planted than it budded and blossomed and fruited, and the sol diers’ spears were only the clubs that struck down that fruit, and It fell Into the lap of the nations, and men began to pick It up and eat It, and they found lu it an antidote to all thirst, to all poison, to all sin, to all death, the smallest cluster larger than the famous one of Eshcol, which two meu carried ou a staff between them. If the one apple In Eden killed the race, this one cluster of mercy shall restore. Again, the church In my text Is ap propriately called a garden because It Is thoroughly Irrigated. No garden could prosper long without plenty of water. I have seen a garden lu the midst of a desert, yet blooming and luxuatant. All around was dearth and barrenness, but there were pipes, aque ducts, riaching from this garden up to the mountains, and through those aque ducts the water came streaming down and tossing up Into beautiful fountains until every root and leaf and flower was saturated. That Is like the church. The church Is a garden In the midst of a great desert of sin and suf fer! ig, but It is well Irrigated, for “our eyes are unto the hills from whence cometh our help.” From the moun tains of God’s strength there flow down rivers of gladness. “There Is a river the stream whereof shall make glad the city of our God.” Preaching the gospel is one of the aqueducts. The Bible Is another. Baptism and the Lord’s supper are aqueducts. Water to slake the thirst, water to wash the unclean, water tossed high up iu the light of the Sim of Righteousness showing us the rainbow around the throne. Oh, was there ever a garden so thoroughly Irrigated? Y’ou know' that the beauty of Ver sailles and Chatsworth depends very much upon the great supply of water. 1 came to the latter place, Chatsworth, one day when strangers are not to be admitted, but by an Inducement which always seemed as potent with an Eng lishman as an American, I got iu, und then the gardener went far up above the stairs of stone and turned on the water. I saw it gleaming on the dry pavement, coming down from step to step until It came so near 1 could hear the musical rush, und all over the high, broad stairs It came foaming, flashing, roaring dowu, until sunlight and wave in gleesome wrestle tumbled at my feet. So It Is with the church of God. Everything comes from above; pardon from above, joy from above, adoption from above, sanctification from above. Water* of Salvation. Would that now God wmuld turn on tbe W’aters of salvation, that they might flow down through his heritage, and that this day w’e might each flud our places to be “Elkns” with 12 wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees. Hark! I hear the latch of the garden gate, and I look to see who is coming. I hear the voice of Christ, “I am come Into my garden.” I say, “Come In, O Jesus! W’e have been waiting for thee; walk all through the paths. Look At the flowers; look at the fruit; plqck that which thou wilt for thyself,” Jesus comes Into the garden and up to that old man, aud touches him, and says: “Almost home, father; not many more aches for thee; I will never leave thee; take courage a little longer and I will steady thy tottering steps and I will soothe thy troubles and give thee rest. Courage, old man.” Then Christ goes up another garden path, aud be pomes to a soul in trouble and says: ”Bence! AU Is well. 1 have seen thy tears. I have heard thy prayer. The sun shall not smite thee by day nor the moon by night. The Lord shall pre serve thee from all evil; he will pre serve thy soul. Courage,. O troubled spirit!” Tbeu I see Jesus going up another garden path, aad I see great excite ment among the leaves, and I hasten up to that garden path to see what Jesus is doing there, and, lo, he Is breaking off flowers, sharp and clean from the stem, and I say: “Stop, Je sus. Do not kill those beautiful flow ers.” He turns to me and says, “I have come Into my garden to gather lilies, and I mean to take these up to a high er terrace, for the gardeu around my palace, and there I will pluut them, and In better so'l and lu better air they shall put forth brighter leaves aud sweeter redolence, aud no frost shall touch them forever.” And I look ed up into his face und salff: “Well, It is thy garden, and thou hast u right to do what thou wilt with It. Thy will be done”—the hardest prayer a man ever made, TnUtna the Bent, It has seemed as if Jesus Christ took tbe best. From many of your house holds the best otv> is goue. You know that she wn# too good for this world. Hhe was the gentlest lu her ways, the deepest in her affection, aud when at last the sickness came you hud no faith lu medicines. You knew that the hour of parting had come, uud when, through the rich grace of tbe Lord Jesus Christ, you surrendered that treasure you said: “Lord Jesus, take It—It Is the best we haie. Take It. Thou art wor thy/’ The others In -the household may ha\e keen of grosser mold. Bbe was of the fluest. » The heaven of your little ones will not be fairly begun until you get there. All the kindnesses shown tbnu by Im mortals will uot make them forget you. There they are, the radiant throngs that went out from your homes. I throw a kiss to the sweet darlings. They are all well uow In the palace. The crippled child has a sound foot now. A little lame child says, “Ma, will I be lame lu beavenf* “No, my darling, you won’t be lame In heav en.” A little sick child says, “Ma, will I be sick lu heaven?” “No, my dear, you wou’t be sick lu heaven.” A little blind child says, “Ma, will I be blind In heaven?” “No, my dear, you won’t be blind In heaven.” They are all well there. I notice that the fine gardens some times have high fences arouud them, and l cannot get In- It Is so with u king’s garden. Tbe only glimpse you ever get of such a garden Is when the king rides out In his splendid carriage. it if Dot 10 with this garden, thla King’s garden. I throw wide open fbe gate and tell you all to come In. No monopoly In religion. Whosoever will, may. Choose now between a desert and a gardeu. Many of you have tried the garden of this world’s delight You have found It has been a chagrin. So it was with Theodore Hook. He made all the world laugh. lie makes us laugh now when we rend his poems, but he cou’d not make his own heart laugh. While in the midst of his fes tivities he confronted a looking glass, and he saw himself and said: “There, that Is true. I look just as I am, done up In body, mind and purse.” So It was of Sbenstone, of whose garden I told you nt the beginning of my ser mon. He sat down amid those bowers and said: “I have lost my road to hap piness. I am angry and envious and frantic and despise everything around me just as it becomes a madman to do.” Christ the Only Rest. O ye weary souls, come Into Christ's garden today and pluck a little hearts- #nse! Christ is the only rest and the only pardon for a perturbed spirit Do you not think your 01)01)1*6 has almost come? Y’ou men and women who have been waiting year after year for some good opportunity In which to accept Christ, but have postponed it, 5, 10, 20, 30 years—do you not feel as If uow your hour of salvation had come? O man, what grudge hast thou against thy poor soul that thou wilt not let it be saved? Some years ago a vessel struck on the rocks. They had only one lifeboat. In that lifeboat tbe passengers and crew were getting ashore. The vessel had foundered and was sinking deeper and deeper, aud that one boat could uot take the passengers very swiftly. A little girl stood on the deck waiting for her turn to get Into the boat. The boat came and went, came and went, but her turn did not seen) to come. After awhile she could wait no longer, and she leaped on the taffruil and then sprang into the sea, crying to the boat man: “Save me next! Save me next!” Oh, how many have gone ashore into God’s mercy, and yet you are clinging to the wreck of sin. Others have ac cepted the pardon of Christ, but you are in peril. Why not this moment make a rush for your immortal rescue, crying until Jesus shall hear you and heaven and earth ring with the cry: “Save me next! Save me next!” Now Is the day of salvation! Now! Now! [Copyright, 1800. by Louis Klopsch.] COALOPERATORS IN LONDON Humors of Many Important Deals. England Buys 100,000 Tons.

M’SWEENEY MAKES APPEAL. Urges Ills Friends to Bally to 111* Sup* port—Heyt Confident. Columbia, 8. U., Sept. 1.—Governor McSweeuey has issued an address in which, after calling attention to the fact that he and Colonel Hoyt will run over for governor ou Sept. 11, he ap peals to the dispensary advocates to rally to his support. Among other things the governor states that the veto last Tuesday was an indorsement of the dispensary and that the charge that the law has uot been enforced has been met aud refuted. He warns his friends uot to become over confident, and says if tney turn out and vote his election is assured. Colonel Hoyt’s friends have already begun an active campaign for the sec ond primary and are confident of land ing their man. Headquarters have been opened iu Columbia, with C. C. Feather- stone iu charge, and the principal work will be done at this place. Mr. Feather- stone said: “To have got such a vote with such odds against him is a great victory for Colonel Hoyt aud the cause which he has so ably advocated. It shows that the people believe in the right and they recognize the ability uud purity of Colonel Hoyt. “I am satisfied that his chances are good. Governor McSweeuey'« lead of a few thousand votes amounts to little. If Colonel Hoyt’s friends know IAs strength aud will go to work he will be our next governor. “Part of the Gary and Patterson vote came from their personal friends, not because they believed in the dispensary, but because they recognized the honesty aud ability of Gary aud Patterson. A part of this vote, I know, will go to Col onel Hoyt, and I lielieve that by far the greater part of it will do so. A system atic and organized effort will now be made by Colonel Hoyt’s friends from this on and there is every reason to be lieve that he will be our next governor.’. Held ln '$f»00 Bond.
