^shouhlcrs, and
Into the streets
the housetops and
tree branches inlo ar-
BT Then the people come
heir comfortable hdtffPs and
dwell for"seven days In these booths or
arbors. Why do they do that? Well,
It is a great festal time. It Is the feast
of tabernacles, and these people are go
ing to celebrate the desert travel of
their fathers and their deliverance from
their troubles, the experience of their
fathers when, traveling in the desert,
they lived in booths on their way to the
land of Canaan. And so these booths
also became highly suggestive—I will
not say they are necessarily typical, but
highly suggestive—of our march toward
heaven and of the fact that we are
only living temporarily here, as It were,
in booths or arbors, on our way to the
Canaan of eternal rest. And what was
said to the Jews literally may be said
figuratively to all this audience. Co
forth Into the mountain and fetch olive
branches and pine branches and myr
tle branches and palm branches and
branches of thick trees to make booths.
Yes, we are only here In a temporary
residence. W'e are marching on. The
merchant princes who used to live in
Howling Croon, New York, have pass
ed away, and their residences are now
the fields of cheap merchants. Whore
me the men who f>0 years ago owned
Washington and New York? Passed
on. There is no use in our driving our
stakes too deep Into the earth; we are
on the march. The generations that
have preceded us have gone so far on
that we cannot even hear the sound of
their footsteps. They have gone over
the hills, ami wo are to follow them.
Hut, blessed be God, we are not In tbis
world left out of doors and unshel
tered. There are gospel booths or gos
pel arbors In which our souls are to be
comforted. Go forth unto the moun
tain and fetch olive branches, and pine
branches, and myrtle branches, and
palm branches and branches of thick
trees and build booths.
Well, now, we are today to construct
a gospel arbor or gospel booth, and how
shall we construct It? Well, we must
get all the tree branches and build.
According to my text, wo must go up
Into the mount and bring olive
branches. What does that mean? The
olive tree grows In warm climates and
It reaches the height of 20 or 22 feet,
a straight stem, and then an olTshoot
from that stern. And then people come
and they strip off these branches some
times, and when In time of war the
general of one army takes one of these
olive branches and goes out to the gen
eral of another army, what does that
mean? Why, it means unsaddle tho
war chargers; J. means hang up the
war knapsacks. It Is but a beautiful
way of saying, Peace!
Peace With God, Peace With Wan,
Now, If we are today going to suc
ceed In building this gospel arbor wo
must go in/o the mount of God’s bless
ing and fetch the olive branches, and
whatever else we must have we must
have at least two olive branches—
peace with God and peace with man
When 1 say peace with God, 1 do not
mean to represent God ns an angry
chieftain having a grudge against us,
but 1 do mean to affirm that there is
pp more antagonism between n hou»4
and a hare, between a hawk and a pul
let, between elephant and swine than
there Is hostility between holiness and
sin. And if God Is all holiness and we
ere all sin there must be a readjust
ment, there must bo a reconstruction,
there must be u treaty, there must be a
stretching forth of olive branches.
There is a groat lawsuit going on
now, and it Is a lawsuit which man is
bringing against Ids Maker; that law
suit is uow on the calendar. It is the
human versus the divine; it is iniquity
yersiis fhe Immaculate; R is yyeaknpsig
forsiis ounlpoteuce. Man began it;
God did not begin the lawuult. We be
gan It; we assaulted our Maker, and
the sooner we end this part of the
struggle in which the finite attempts
fo overthrow the infinite and omnipo
tent—the sooner we end it the better.

I have noticed In every sect where the
cross of Christ is set forth It is planted
with plive branches. And all we have
(o do is to get rid of this war between
Go<l and ourselves, of tyhigh we are
ji)i thvd. We >yant to back pu{ of tba

them before the throne. Peace through

if we had gone ou lu 10,000 years of
war agalust God we could not have
captured so much as a sword or « *r.y-
nlry stirrup or twisted oft one Of tlie
wheel's of the chariot of Ids omnipo

oilve branch God and all hcavei' come

and getting a knotty scourge with
which to whip your antagonist, your
enemy, you had better get up on the
radiant mount where Christ suffered
for ids enemies and Just take an olive
branch, not stripping off the soft, cool,
fragrant leaves, leaving them all on,
and then try ou them that gospel
switch. It will not hurt them, and it
will save you. Peace with God; peace
with man. If you canuot take those

But my text goes further. It says,
“Go up Into the mountain and fetch
olive branches and pine branches.”
Now, what is suggested by the pine
branch? The pine tree is healthy; it Is
aromatic; It is evergreen. How often
the physician says to ids invalid pa
tients, “Go and have a breath of the
pines; that will Invigorate you.” Why
do such thousands of people go south
every year? It Is not merely to get to
a warmer climate, but to get the intiu-
enee of the pine. There is health in
It, and lids pine branch of the text sug
gests the helpfulness of our holy reli
gion. It is full of health, health for
all, health for the mind, health for the
soul. 1 knew an aged man who had
no capital of physical health. He had
had all the diseases you could imagine.
He did not eat enough to keep a child
alive; he lived on a beverage of hosan
nas; he lived high, for he dined every
day with tho King; lie was kept alive
simply by the force of our holy reli
gion. It is a healthy religion, healthy
for the eye, healthy for the hand,
healthy for the feet, healthy for the
heart, healthy for the liver, healthy for
the spleen, healthy for the whole man.
It gives a man such peace, such quiet
ness, such Independence of circum
stances, such holy equipoise. Oh, that
we all possessed It; that we [assessed
it now! I mean it Is healthy if a man
gets enough of it. Now, there are some
people who get Just enough religion to
bother them, Just enough religion to
make them sh-k, but If a man take a
full, deep, round inhalation of these
pine branches of the gospel arbor ho
will find It buoyant, exuberant, undy
ing, immortal health.
Kelliilon la Everifreen.
But tlds evergreen of ray text also
suggests the simple fact that religion Is
evergreen. What does the pine branch
care for the snow on its brow? It Is
only a crown of glory. The winter
cannot freeze It out. Tlds evergreen
tree branch Is ns beautiful lu winter
as It Is in the summer. And that is the
characteristic of our holy religion; in
the sharpest, coldest winter of mis
fortune and disaster It Is as good a re
ligion as It is In the bright summer
sunshine. Well, uow, that Is a prac
tical truth, for I suppose If I would
go up and down these aisles I would
pot find In this house 50 people who
had had no trouble, but there are some
of you who have especial trouble. God
only knows what you go through with.
Oh, how ninny bereavements, how
many poverties, how many persecu
tions! How many misrepresentations!
And now, my brother, you have tried
everything else, why do you not try
tlds evergreen religion? It Is Just as
good for you now as It was In the day
of prosperity; It is better for you. Per
haps some of you feel almost like
Mueklc Bnckje, tlte fisherman, who
was chided oue day because be kept
ou working although that very day he
buried Ids child. They came to (dm
and said, “It Is indecent for you to be
tnendlng that boat when tlds after
noon you burled your child.” And the
fisherman looked up and said: “Sir, it
is very easy for you gentlefolks to stay
In the house with your handkerchiefs
to your eyes In grief, but, sir, ought I
to let the other five children starve be
cause one of them Is frowned? No,
sir; we maun work, we maun work,
though our hearts beat like this ham
mer.**
You may have had accumulation of
sorrow and misfortune. They come in
flocks, they come in herds upon your
soul, and yet I have to tell you that
this religion can console you, that it
can help you, that it can deFu'r you if
nothing else )ylll. Po you tell me that
the riches and the gain of this world
can console yoy? ^ow Wfts It wtih the

But my text takes a step further, and
It sayff, Go Into the mountain and fetch

palm -brnnehee, tyyw, the balm tree
was very "mfach honored by the an
cients. It had .‘tdO different uses. The
fruit was conserved, the san Wi,s a
beverage, the were ground up

leaves wu& turned into hats and
rtud baskets, and the JejU'CS were cur-
lu victorious processions, and from

mdbb we warn the palm
the churches of Jesus
lirlst at tlds time! A great many
Christians do not amount to anything.
You have to shove them off the track
to let the laird’s chariots come along.
I know the old plan was, the plan
now Is. In regard to worldly invest
ments—you hear it, merchants tell you
—do not put everything into one thing,
do not put all your eggs Into one bas
ket, but I have to tell you in tills mat
ter of religion you had better give your
all to God and then gel in yourself.
“Oil,” says some one, “my business is
to sell silks and cloths." Well, then,
my brother, sell silks and cloths to the
glory of God. And some one says, “My
business is to raise corn and carrots.”
Then, my brother, raise corn and car
rots to the glory of God. And some
one says, “My business is to manufac
ture horseshoe nails.” Then manufac
ture horseshoe nails to the glory of
God. There Is nothing for you to do
that you ought to do but for the glory
of God.
Usefulness Is typified by the palm
tree. Ah, we do not want in the church
any more people that are merely weep
ing willows, sighing into the water,
standing and admiring their long lash
es in the glassy spring! No wild cher
ry dropping bitter fruit. We want
palm trees, holding something for God,
something for angels, something for
man. I am tired and sick of lids fiat,
tame, insipid, satin slippered, uamby
pnniliy, highly tighty religion! It is
worth nothing for this world, and it is
destruction for eternity. Give me 500
men and women fully consecrated to
Christ, and we will take tlds city for
God In three years; give me 10.000 men
and women fully up to the Christian
standard; In ten years 10.000 of them
would take the whole earth for God.
Hut when are we going to begin? We
all want to be useful. There Is not a
man in the pews that does not want to
be useful. When are we going to be
gin?
Ledyard, the great traveler, was
brought before the Geographical Soci
ety of Great Britain, and they wanted
him to make some explorations in Af
rica, and they showed him all the per
ils and ail the hard work and all the
exposure, and after they had told him
what they wanted him to do In Africa
they said to him, “Now, Ledyard, when
are you ready to start?” He said, “To
morrow morning.” The learned men
were astonished. They thought he
would take weeks or mouths to get
ready. Well, now, you tell me you
want to be useful in Christian service.
When are you going to begin? Oh,
that you had the decision to say. “Now;
now!” Oh, go Into the mount and
gather the palm branches!
An Rmblem of Victory.
Hut the palm branches also meant
victory. You all know that In all
ages, In all lands, the palm branch
moans victory. Well, now, we are by
nature servants of satan. He stole
us; be has his eye ou us; In* wants to
keep us. But word comes from our
Father that If we will try to break
loose from this doing of wrong our Fa
ther will help us, and some day we
rouse up, and we look the black tyrant
In the face, and we fly at him, and we
wrestle him down, and we put our heel
on his neck, and we grind him in the
dust, and we say, "Victory, victory,
through our Lord Jesus Christ!” Oh,
what a grand thing it Is to have sin
underfoot and a wasted life behind our
backs! “Blessed is he whose trans
gression is forgiven and whose sin Is
covered.”
Borne one says, “How about the fu
ture?” What, says the man, I feel
so sick and worn out with the ailments
of life. You are going to be more
than conqueror. But, says the man,
1 am so tempted, I am so pursued lu
life. You are going to be more than
conqueror. I, who have so many nll-
men‘*j and heartaches, going to be more
than conqueror? Yes, unless you are
so self conceited that you want to man
age all the affairs of your life yourself
instead of letting Cod manage them,
Ho you want to drive and have God
take a back seat? “Oh, no,” you say;
“l want God to be my leader.” Well,
then, you will be more than conqueror.
.Your last sickness will come, and the
physicians In the next room will be
talking about what they will do for
you. What difference will It make
what they do for you? You {tvo going
to be well, everlastingly wel|. And

My text brings us oue step further.
It say go forth Into the mount and
fetch olive branches, and pln^.
branches, and myrtle branc.'^a, and
palm branches apd branches of thick
trees, you know very well—I
piake this' remark under the head
branches of thick trees—a booth
01 arbor made of allaai branches would
not The* flrst blast of the tejfl’
pest would prostrate It. So, tho*v the
booth or arbor mi\^ have four stout
poles to fitild up, the arbor or booth,
! ud hence for the building of the arbor
or (his world we upisf huvs stout
branches q( thitk trees. And so it Is
in the gospel arbor. Blessed be God
that we have a brawny Christianity,
out one easily upse*. The storms q(
life will come upon us,
strong doctrine; not only
Justice; net only invitation, bi
ing. Tt Is'a mighty gospel; It hi an
omnipotent gospel. These are the
stout branches of thick trees.
I remember what Mr. Finney said In
a echoolhoase. The village was so bad
It was called Sodom, and it was said
to have only one good man In all the
village, and he was called Lot, and Mr.
Finney was preaching In the school-
house, and lie described the destruction
of Sodom; how the city was going to
be destroyed unless they repented, and
that there would be rain from heaven
of sorrow and destruction unless they,
too, repented. And the people lu the
schoolhousc sat and ground their teeth
In anger, and clinched their fists In
anger, hut before he got through with
ids sermon they got down on their
knees and cried for mercy while mercy
could be found. Oil, It is a mighty
gospel; not only an Invitation, but a
warning, an omnipotent truth; stout
branches of thick trees.
Well, my friends, you see I have
omittid oue or two points, not because
I forgot to present them, but because
I have not time to present them. I
have shown you here is the olive
branch of peace, here Is the pine branch
of evergreen gospel consolation, here
the palm tree branch of usefulness and
of victory and here are the stout
branches of thick trees. The gospel
arbor is done. The air is aromatic of
heaven. The leaves rustle with the
gladness of God. Come into the arbor.
Come into the booth. I went out at
different times with a fowler to the
mountains to catch pigeons, and we
made our booth and we sat in that
booth and watched for the pigeons to
come. And we found flocks in the sky,
and after awhile they dropped into the
net, and we were successful. So I
come now to the door of this gospel
booth. I look out. I see flocks of souls
flying hither and flying thither. Oh,
that they might come like clouds and
as doves to the window! Come Into
the booth. Come into the booth.

lie Wan a Cotton Mill Man.
[Written for The Mill News.l
The Superintendent has the repu
tation of being particular in the mat
ter of employing overseers or foremen
in his mills, desiring only those that
have had considerable experience in
the business.
The following is a conversation
that was overheard in his office last
week, between the Superintendent
and a gentleman who applied for a
position as Carder:
“Where did you come from?’’
“From St. John’s Mill, in (Jitcbec.”
“What did you come here to do?”
“To learn to subdue my energies
and improve your carding depart
ment.”
“Then you are a Cotton Mill man
I infer.”
I am so taken to be by all t iiicials
that know tbeir business.”
“How may I know you to be a mill
man?”
“By looking over ray letters and
examining me as is usually done to
all first class Carders. Try me.”
“How will you be tried?”
“By the Card.”
“Why by the Card?”
“Because it is an emblem of inge
nuity, and the principal machine of
tbis department.”
“Where were you first prepared to
be a Cotton Mill man?”
“In my mind.”
“Where next?”
“Upon a farm belonging to a mill
man.”
“How were you prepared?”
“By running a cotton gin for one
season, after which I went to the
mill and sought admission to the
Superintendent’s office.”
“How gained you admission?”
“By three cigara as a tip for the
office boy.”
“How were you received;”
>opon the sharp gase of the Super
intendent applied to my physiog
nomy, which was thus explained—it
is always a source of great nleasure
to the Superintendent to* receive
callers who drop in and chat with
him a little while upon every occt(-
sion possible.”
“How were you disposed ofi*”
“I was seated op « bale of cotton
near the picking machine, and was
asked if I put my trust in hosiery
yarn.”
“Your answer.”
“Not if I know myself,”
“What was then done with you?”
“I was led up and down tho card
room three times to accustom me to
the noise of the machines, thence to
the Superintendent.”
“How were you then disposed of?”
"j was seated upon a Drawing
Can, and caused to.take the following
horrible and binding obligation : *],
D B. Romany, do hereby and herein
most everlastingly and diabolically
swear, by the vinegar al-
manna, that I will be always at my
post when you are out fishing,and to

within the power of the driving belt
to do so. 1 further promise and
swear that 1 will not carry any flcti-
tioua names on my Bay Roll, like
your former Spinner did, and I will
not indulge any mill man's wife,
mother, lister, daughter, or widow,
between paydays, or permit any
other Carder to ao so, it I can pre
vent It. | further promise, and
swear, that I will freely contribute
to aU subscriptions circulated to buy
my superior officer a token of esteem,
at far as he may desire, and my
•alary will permit; to all of which I
solemnly swear, binding myself un
der no lesa a penalty than that of
having my salary cut down from
year to year, all my perquisites taken
away and expended for coal to ran
