f T ' "fir' o Wasimmgtox, 0<*t. G.—The charm of an exalted religion is by Dr. Talmago in tins discourse IHustrated and cotn- mended: text. Job xxviii, 17, "The crys tal cannot equal it.” Many of the precious stones of the Bible have come to prompt recognition, but tW the present 1 take up the less valuamo crystal. Job, In my text, com pares saving wisdom with a specimen of topaz. An infidel chemist or miner alogist would pronounce the latter worth more than the former, but Job makes an intelligent comparison, looks at religion and then looks at the crys tal and pronounces the former as of far superior value to the latter, ex claiming In the words of my text, “The crystal cannot equal It.” Now. it is net a part of my sormonlc design to depreciate the crystal, wheth er it he found in Cornish mine or liar?, mountain or Mammoth cave or tinkling among the pendants of tin* chandeliers of a p^ee. The crystal is the star of the mountain; it is the queen of the cave; it is the eardrop of the hills; it finds its heaven in the diamond. Among all the pages of natural history there Is no page more interesting to me than the page crystallographic. But 1 want to show you that Job was right when, taking religion in one hand and the cr3’stal in the other, lie declared that the former is of far more value and beauty than the latter, recommending It to a!! the people and to all the ages, declaring, “The crystal cannot equal It.” ^In the first place, I remark that re ligion is superior to the crystal in ex aetness. That shapeless mass o." crys tal against which you accidentally dashed your foot is laid out with more exactness than any earthly city. Then 1 are six styles of crystallization and all of them divinely ordained. I]very erys tal has mathematical precision. God's geometry reaches through it. and it is a square or it is a rectangle or it is a rhomboid or in some way it has a mathematical figure. Now. religion beats that in the simple fact that spir itual accuracy is more beautiful than material accuracy. God's attributes sire exact, God's law exact. God’s decrees exact. God’s management of the world exact. Ne\er counting wrong, though he counts the grass blades and the stars and the sands and the cycles. Hiaflf'ovidcnccK never dealing with us perpend in: la rly when those provi dences ought to he oblique, nor laterally when they ought to he vertical. Every thing in our life arranged without any possibility of mistake. Lath life a si.', headed prism. Born at the right time, dying at the right time. There are no “happen so's” in our theology. If I thought this was a slipshod universe. I would he in despair. God is not an anarch'st. I<pw, order, symmetry, pre- cisi a perfect square, a perfect rec tangle, a perfect rhomboid, a perfect circle. The edge of God’s robe of gov ernment never frays out. There art no loose screws in the world's ma chinery. It did not just happen that Napoleon was attacked with Indiges tion at Borodino so that he became In competent tor the day. It did not Just happen that John Thomas, the mis sionary. on a heathen island, waiting for an outfit and orders for another missjonary tour, received that outfit aud titosc orders in a box that floated ashore, while the ship and the crew that carried the box were never hoard of. 1 believe iu a particular providence. 1 belie\e God's geometry may he seen In all our life more beautifully than lt> crystallography. Job was right, “Tin- crystal cannot equal it.” Religion Transparent. Again, 1 remark that religion Is su perior to the crystal iu transparency. We know not when or by whom glass was first discovered. Beads of it have been found in the tomb of Alexander Severus. Vases of it an* brought up from the ruins of Herculaneum. There were female adornments made out of It 3,000 years ago—those adornments found now attached to the mummies of Egypt. A great many commentators believe that my text means glass. What would we do without the crystal—the crystal iu the window to keep out the storm and let In the day. the crystal over the watch, defending its delicate machinery, yet allowing us to see the hour; the crystal of the telescope, by which the astronomer brings distant worlds so near he can Inspect them? Oh. the triumphs of the crystals in tin celebrated windows of Rouen and Sails- bury! But there is nothing so trans parent in a crystal as in our holy reli gion. It Is a transparent religion. You put It to your eye. and you see man- his sin. his^ml, his destiny. You look at God. ami you see something of the grandeur of his character. It is a trans parent religion. Infidels tell us It Is opaque « Do you know why they tell us it Is opaque? It is because they are blind. “Tin* natural man recelveth not the tilings of God because they are spiritually discerned." There is no trouble with the crystal; the trouble Is with the eyes which try to look through It. We pray for vision, Lord, that our eyes might he opened! When the eye falve cures our blindness, then we find that religion is transparent. It Is n transparent Bible. All the mountains of the Bible come out—Sinai, the mountain of file law; Plsgah, the mouutaiivof prospect; Olivet, the moun tain of Instruction; Calvary, the moun tain of sacrifice. All the rivers of tin Bible come out—Hldekel. or the river of paradisaical beauty; Jordan, or the r'^er of holy chr^m: Chorltb, or the river of prophetic supply; Nile, or the river of palaces, and the pure river of life from under the throne, clear as crystal. While reading ibis Bible, aft er our eyes have been touched by grace, we find it all transparent, and the earth rocks, now with crucifixion agony and now with Judgment terror, and Christ appears in some of his 2.10 titles, as far as I can count them—the Bread, the Rock, the Captain, the Commander, the Conqueror, the Star, and on and be yond any capacity of mine to rehearse. Transparent religion! IlIumtnatCB and Brlehteaa. The providence that seemed dark be- before becomes pellucid. Now you find God is not trying to put you down. Now you understand why you lost that child and why you lost your property. It was to prepare you for eternal treas ures. And why sickness came, it being the precursor of immortal juveneseeuce. And now you understand why they lied about you and tried to drive you hither and thither. It was to put you in the glorious company of such men as Igna tius, who when he went out to he de stroyed by the lions said, “I am the wheat, aud the teeth of the wild beasts must first grind me before 1 can be come pure bread for Jesus Christ;” or the company of such men as “that an cient Christian martyr" who, with standing iu the midst of the amphi theater waiting for the lions to come out of their cave aud destroy him. and the people in the galleries jeering and shouting, “The lions!” replied, “Let them come on!” aud then, stooping down toward the cave where the wild beasts were roaring to get out, again cried, “Let them come on!” Ah, yes, it is persecution to put you in glorious company, and, while there are many things that you will have to postpone to the future world for explanation, I tell you tliat it is the whole tendency of your religion to unravel and explain aud Interpret and illumine and irradi ate. Job was right. It is a glorious transparency. “The crystal cannot espial it.” I remark again that religion surpass es tlie crystal in its beauty. The lump of crystal is put under the magnifying glass of the erystallographer, and he sees in it indescribable exquisiteness— snowdrift and splinters of hoarfrost and corals and wreaths and stars and crowns aud constellations of eousplcu ous beauty. The fact is Hint crystal is so beautiful that I can think of hut one thing ;n all the universe that is as beau tiful. and Hint is the religiou of the Bi ble. No wonder this Bi-ble represents that religion as the daybreak, as the apple blossoms, us the glitter of a king’s banquet. It is the joy of the whole earth. People talk too much about their cross and not enough aboiH their crown. Do you know that the Bible mentions a cross hut twenty-seven times, while it mentions a crown eighty times? Ask that old nu»u what he thinks of religion. He has been a ose observer. He has been cultivat ing an aesthetic taste. He has seen the sunrises of half a century. He has been an early riser. He has been uu admirer of cameos ami corals and all kinds of beautiful things. Ask him what he thinks of religion, and he will tell you: "It is the most beautiful thing I ever saw. The crystal cannot equal It.” Beauty of tiod's Love. Beautiful In its symmetry. When It presents God's character. It does not present him as having love like a great protuberance on one side of his nature, but makes that -love in harmony with his Justice—a love that will accept all those who come to him and a justice that will by no means clear the guilty. Beautiful religion iu the sentiment it Implants! Beautiful religion in the hope it kindles! Beautiful religion iu the fact that it proposes to garland and enthrone atij emparadlse an immortal spirit! Solomon says it is a lily. Paul says it is a crown. The Apocalypse says it is a fountain kissed of the sun. Ezekiel says it is a foliaged cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride. While Job In the text takes up u whole vase of pre cious stones—the topaz and the sap phire and the chrysoprasus—he takes out of this beautiful vase just one crystal and holds it up until it gleams In the warm light of the eastern sky. and he exclaims, “The crystal cannot equal It!” Oh. It is not a stale religion, it Is not a stupid religion, it is not a tooth less hag. us some seem to have repre sented It; it is not a Meg Merrilles with shriveled arm come to scare the world. It Is the fairest daughter of God, heir ess of all his wealth, her cheeks the morning sky. her voice the music of the south wind, her step the dance of the sea. Come aud woo her. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will let him come. Do you agree with Solomon and say R is a lily? Then pluck It and wear it over your heart. Do you agree with Paul and say It is a crown? Then let this hour he your coronation. Do you agree with the Apocalypse and say It is a spring ing fountain? Then come and slake the thirst of your soul. Do you be lieve with Ezekiel aud say It Is a foli aged cedar? Then come under Its shadow. Do you believe with Christ and say it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride? Then strike hands with your IajnI aud King while 1 pro nounce you everlastingly one. Or if you think with Job that it la a Jewel, then put it on your hand like a ring, on your neck like a head, on your forehead like a star, while, looking Into the mir- V of God’s word, you acknowledge .* crystal cannot equal It.” Superior to Crystal. Again, religion is superior to the crys tal In Its transformations. The dia mond Is only a crystnlllzatiM. Carbi nate of lime rises till It becon es cal cite or aragonite. Red oxide of copp* crystallizes into cubes and octahedrons. Those crystals which adorn our pe sous and o ir homes and our museums have only been resurm. d ficm forms that were far from lustrous. Scientists for ages have been examining these wonderful transformations. But I tell you in Hie gosnci of the Son of God there is a more wonderful transforma tion. Over souls by reason of sin black ns coal and hard as iron God. by his comforting grace, stoops and says. “They shall he mine iu the day when I make tip my jewels.” “What,” say you. "will God wear Jewelry?” If he wanted it. he could make the stars of heaven his belt and have the evening cloud for the sandals of his feet. But he does not want that adornment. lie will not have that jew elry. When God wants jewelry, he comes down and digs It out of the depths and darkness of sin. These souls are all crystallizations of mercy. He puts them on. and he wears them li> the presence of the whole universe. He wears them on the hand that was nailed, over the heart that was pierced, on the temples that were stung. “They shall he mine.” saitli the Lord, “in the day when I make up my Jewels.” Wonderful transformation! Where sin abounded grace shall much more abound. The carbon becomes the soli taire. “The crystal cannot equal it.” Now, I have no liking for those peo ple who are always enlarging in Chris tian meetings about their early dissipa tion. Do not go into the particulars, ray brothers. Simply say you were sick, hut make no display of your ul cers. The chief stock in trade of some ministers and Christian workers seems to he their early crimes and dissipa tions. The number of pockets you pick ed and the number of chickens you stole make very poor prayer meeting rhetoric. Besides that, it discourages other Christian people who never got drunk or stole anythiug. But it is pleasant to know that those who were farthest down have been brought high est up. Out of infernal serfdom Into eternal liberty. Out of darkness Into light. From coal to the solitaire. “The crystal cannot equal it.” LIkIiI of the Goapel. But, my friends, the chief transform ing power of the gospel will not he sivn in this world and not until heaven breaks upon the soul. When that light falls upon the soul, then you will see the crystals. What a magnificent set ting for these Jewels of eternity! I sometimes hear people representing heaven in a way that is far from at tractive to me. It seems almost a vul gar heaven as they represent it, with great blotches of color and hands of music making a deafening racket. John represents heaven as exquisitely beau tiful. Three crystals! In one place he says, “Her light was like a precious stone, dear as crystal.” In another place he says. “I saw a pure river from under the throne, clear as crystal.” In another place he says. “Before the throne there was a sea of glass clear as crystal,” Three crystals! John says crystal atmosphere. That means health. Balm of eternal June. What weather after the world’s east wind! No rack of stormclouds. One breath of that air will cure the worst tubercle. Crystal light on all the leaves; crystal light shimmering on the topaz of the temples; crystal light tossing in the plumes of the equestrians of heaven on white horses. But “the crystal cannot equal It.” John says crystal river. That means Joy. Deep and ever roll ing. Not one drop of the Potomac or the Hudson or the Rhine to soil It; not one tear of human sorrow to imbitter It. Crystal, the rain out of which It was made; crystal, the bed over which it shall roll and ripple; crystal, its in finite surface. But “the crystal can not equal It." John says crystal sea. That means multltudinously vast, vast In rapture, rapture vast as the sea, deep as the sea, strong ns the sea, ever 'changing us the sea; billows of light, billows of beauty, blue with skies that were never clouded and green, with depths that were never fathomed; Arc- ties and Antarctica and Mediterra neans and Atlantics and Pacifies In crystalline magnificence. Three crys tals—crystal light falling on a crystal river, crystal river rolling Into « crys tal sea. But “the crystal cannot equal It.” Happy Transformation. “Oh.” says some one. putting his hand over his eyes, “can it he that I wlio have been iu so much sin and trou ble will ever come to those crystals?” Yes, It may be—It will be. Heaven we must have, whatever we have or have not. and we come here to get It. “How much must I pay for it?” you say. You will pay for it Just ns much as the coni pays to become the diamond. In other words, nothing. The same Al mighty power that makes the crystal iu the mountain will change your heart, which is harder thau stone, for the promise Is, "I will take away your stony heart, and 1 will give you a heart of flesh.” “Oh.” says some one, “It Is Just the doctrine I want. God is to do every thing. and I am do nothing.” My brother. It Is not the doctrine you want. The coal makes no resistance. It hear* the resurrection voice in the mountain, and it comes to crystallization; hut your heart resists. The trouble with you. my brother, is the coal wants to stay coal. 1 do nop ask you to throw open the door and let Christ In. I only ask that you stop bolting it and bnning It. My friends, we will have to get rid of out sins. I will have to get rid of my sins, ami you will have to get rid of you! sins. What will we do with our sins among the three crystals? The crystal atmosphere would display our pollu i'on. The crystal river would he he- ^-uhsl with our touch. Transformation must lake place now or no transfonua tion at all. Give sin full chance in your heart, and the transform at ion will he downward instead of upward Instead of a crystal It will he a cinder In the days of Carthage a Christian girl whs condemned to die for her faith, ami a boat was bedaubed with uir and pitch and filled with combustibles and set on fire, and the Christian girl wa? placed in the boat, and the wind was ofl'shore, and the boat floated away with its precious treasure. No one can doubt that boat landed at the shore of heaven. Sin wants to put you iu a fiery boat and shove you off In an op posite direction—off from peace, off from God, off from heaven, everlasting ly off. and the port toward which you would sail would he a port of darkness, aud -the guns that would greet you would he the guns of despair, ami the flags that would wave at your arrival would he the black flags of death. Ok. my brother, you must either kill sin or sin will kill you. It is no exaggera tion when I say that any man or wom an that wants to be saved may be saved. Tremendous choice! A thou sand people are choosing this moment between salvation and destruction. Ix-- tween light and darkness, between charred ruin and glorious crystalliza-* tion. [Copyright, 1P01, Louis Klopseh, N. V.] A PLEASANT EVENING. THE COOKING CONTEST. Fifty Delighted Little Girls Mitke Merry Over a Buck's Kange. The cooking contest yesterday afternoon at the store of The Acme Furniture Company was novel and interesting. Some weeks ago The Acme Furniture Company offered as a prize for the best biscuit to be made by a little gin of fourteen years or under a miniture Buck’s range. The contest was arranged to come off yes terday afternoon at the store, and was supervised bv Mr. O. P. Perkins, one of the Buck’s Stove and Range Co.’s representatives. At the hour, 2 o’clock, the fun began, and when a Ledger representative called the plac - was a scene of animation. About fifty little girls were present, and they were as figity as it was possible for that many children to he. Mr. Perkins gave the directions and num bered the’eontestants aud at 6 o’clock twenty-five pounds of flour half gal lon oi lard, and the necessary amount of other ingredients had been used up. Every three minutes the range turned out a lot of biscuit*. And the most of it was very ap, i 'Zing. A: (» o’clock the commitr^e. () f judges consisting of Mrs R M. Giffney. Mrs. Dr. Steve Giiflhd, Mrs N H Littlejohn, Mrs. t'am Hopper anci Mrs C. C. Harris, announced that they had come to the conclusion that number seven had won the prize. The contest was conducted in such a manner that even the judges did not know who number seven was and it wasa surprise to them as well as to the rest.fif the cot t -stants when it was an nounced that number seven was little Miss Ethi 1 Petty who resides about thre- miles south of the city. The o* 1 e: contestants showed their loyntv ny applauding the litile lady voc f er- ously, and i hen for some minuses h re was a lively time in which all engaged and each one vied with ihe o her to see how much bread and butter and hot coffee they could consume. The minature range was presented to the successful contestant and the cook ing contest Jbecame a thing of tor past, but it will linger long in the memory of all who participated as being one of the happiest days of their lives.
