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

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

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
