NITIUTE OF SODA ON WHEAT.
The wonderful properties of nitrate of
soda are being strikingly exhibited at
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, where wheat is being grown con
tinually under different methods of fer
tilizing. Although the nitrate was not
applied until the middle of April it stim
ulated such a big growth that the plots
which received nitrate in large quantities
carry almost thrice as great a height of
vegetation as do the plots that had no
nitrate. —New York World.
GUINEAS ON THE FARM.
There is no sale for Guinea fowls in
market, but the Guinea fowl is, never
theless, one of the finest of all table
birds, possessing a certain game flavor
that is not found in other fowls. They
have full meated breasts, and possess but
a smalt proportion of offal compared with
hens. If their real value for the table
were known they would sell at. high
prices. On the farm they cost almost
nothing, being industrious foragers, and
there never was a better insect extermi
nator than the Guinea. Outside of the
eggs they provide, without cost, they de
stroy thousands of insects, and though
their efforts in that direction may not be
apparent, yet the work goes on with
them constantly. They are never idle,
being engaged from early mom until
night.—Mirror and Farmer.
HOW TO PLANT A FLOWER BED.
It is no easy matter, writes a corre
spondent, to prepare a flower bed for the
seeds, and especially if the turf hat not
been spaded up for years. After the sods
are taken away the bed should bo well
filled up with earth, so that it will not
bo too damp, It should then be raked
over and made smooth, after which it is
ready for the seeds. Some seeds, pan
sies lor instance, should first be planted
in boxes, and when large enough must
be set into the ground. It is well to
transplant pansy seedlings two or three
times, and when the seedlings are trans
planted it should be done at night rath
er than in the morning, unless it is a very
cloudy day. Some seedlings will not
stand it well to be transplanted. The
poppy, for Instance, should never be
transplanted. When pansy seed* are
first planted it is better to water them
with boiling hot water, because they
will sprout quicker. This must not be
done more thau two or three times, on
account of killing the sprouts. Seeds
may be planted in rows or not, but I
prefer to have them mixed up, as I think
they look prettier. It is very discour
aging to have a bed all dug over, seeds
planted and sprouted, and then to have
some child run over it. That was my
case with a nasturtium bed, and the
seeds were just sprouting. My brother
was out digging up a bed and playing
with a little girl at the same time, when
she ran straight through the best part.
Of course I shall not know the difference
ten years from now. The weeds should
always be kept out from among the
plants and the earth should be loosened
quite often. The plants should be wat
ered every day, and I think it is better
to do it at night. When the plants are
in blossom some folks seem to be afraid
to pick them. It is very much better
for various kinds of plants to pick off the
blossoms, as it makes them bloom more
freely.—New England Uomateal.
BOARDING THE HELP.
Grace Perry wiites to the Farm
Journal tliat to many a farmer’s wife the
most disagreeable part of farming is the
taking into the family of help that is
needed. It is the primitive custom yet
retained in many locations, but w ith im
proved methods of farming will come
more enlightened ideas as to the preser
vation of the heart of the home, the wife
and the mother, and her strength wiil be
husbanded as we do not think of now.
It is too precious to be wasted in prepar
ing immense dinners for brawny men
other than her own family.
And what an absurdity to fry and feed
children on food fit for hard working
men; it cannot be done. Food proper
for children would not furnish the
strength necessary for the performance
of hard physical labor, and to feed chil
dren on the hearty food laborers need
would lead to no end of ill-heath for
them, ft is almost an impossibility to
deny children food that is on the table
and to hold them to the proper diet with
things before them that they want so
bad.
There are so many dishes that a wo
man loves to prepare for her own family
that would be silly to set before laboring
men. Dishes that would be of no more
good to them in the way of nourishment
than so much candy, but that we love
and make good for us—such as custards,
cream puffs, cakes, lemon pics and such
light dishes.
And, too, the meeting of the family at
table should be the pleasantest affair of
the day, and where a man is a busy one
it is often the time to make plans, to
talk over many private matters that one
does not speak of before any but members
of his own family.
One’s evenings, too, should be gen
erally spent in private, just the family.
Who is willing to admit to the intimacy
of the heme evening circle those who
may retail all that happens or who may
influence the boys and girls ever so little
in a way we cannot approve ofl
Let the help have their own quarters.
A married man Is best, then he has his
own home life and is content.
HOG CHOLERA.
The most reliable authorities differ la
many points in regard to the disease
known as “hog cholera,” for it seems to
be manifested in nearly as many ways as
ever the “hornail” in cattle was, and as
that has been found to be in no way a
disease of the horns, though the horn
may become diseased in consequence of
some forms of it, so the cholera is not
the disease, but a symptom of the efforts
nature is making to throw off the dis
ease. And quite as often the first symp
tom of these diseases are constipation
rather than scouring, but it does not at
tract attention. The feeding of indi
gestible food may originate diseases that
are often called “hog cholera,” and most
frequent are the feeding of grass oi
clover while wet, weeds that are partially
iwilted or have lain in piles until they
Shave begun to decay, decaying vegeta
bles, and musty or mouldy grain, and
city swill containing more or less of mat
'ter which has reached nearly the Iasi
stages of decay. While scouring and
vomiting are among the earliest symp
toms noticed in many cases, others jhov
dulneis, stupor and loss of appetite, and
perhaps a breaking out of red or nearh
purple spots back of the ears, on tin
rump or thighs, and on parts lain on oi
kept too warm by contact with other ani
mals when lying down in the pen. In
nearly all stages the evacuations are
poisonous to other swine, and when the
disease once appears in a herd the larger
part of them will take it unleoa the most
effective measures are taken to check Us
progress. The rem ival cf all not yet
ailing to clean pens and grounds, the
best of care in regard to proper food,
•nd a supply of clean water for drinking
and bathing, are usually more effectual
remedies than medicine, but all pens and
yard* in which hogs have been takei
sick should be at once disinfected after
they have been removed, for which pur
pose a solution of carbolic acid or of
sulphuric acid seems to be as good as
anything known, though sulphate of
iron (copperas) may suffice in place of
more powerful disinfectants, or a solu
tion of corrosive sublimate. These so
lutions will not be very strong, but must
be used abundantly about all wood
work, to penetrate into all cracks and
crevices. Air-slaked lime upon the earth
of yards and pens may assist very much,
but pastures where sick swine have run
should be plowed to bring up fresh earth)
to the surface, and e\ cn then it is wel
to use the lime around their most fre
quent haunts. All dead animals should
be buried deep or cremated.—Botton
Cultivator.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Have your fowls any shade?
Spade up the runs occasionally.
No farm should be without one or two
good brood sows.
Fowls having the run of the farm will
get along with a little corn these days.
Sheep are often a source of economy,
a? they thrive on what would otherwise
be wasted.
All plants started in hot-beds should
be exposed to the air a few days before
transplanting.
The little chicks will sooner be big
ones is kept shut up each morning until
the dew is off.
As far as possible, contrive to have
your crops come on successively—not all
at the same time.
Make pot pies of stock you do not
wish to winter, if you have too few to
make a shipment.
What a blessed thing it is that the
weather and the growth of crops do not
depend on politics.
Look to your sources of water supply,
and see that they are not receptacles of
foulness and disease.
No country is ever so prosperous as
when its labor forces are all employed
and properly directed.
Did you mean to clean out the hen
house yesterday? Did you do it? If
not, stick your head into it to-night at
nine o'clock.
Notwithstanding the good fruit pros
pects tomatoes will find ready purchasers
and can always be made a salable and
paying crop.
Fowls running at large should be pro
vided with convenient secluded nesting
places known to you or they will Bud
some unknown ones.
We believe the sooner a sick hen is
killed the better. It saves time, saves
feed, saves health to the rest. Kill and
bury every moping heu.
Don’t pull too many stalks from ths
rhubarb bed; let some of the leaves re
main, for they are the lungs that supply
life and vigor to the roots.
Some men pay a great deal of atten
tion to the branches of the fruit tree,
and let the roots take care of themselves.
Doth require equal attention.
Don’t pick the peaches too green.
Remember that this fruit cannot ripen
after leaving the tree without losing its
flavor, hence the value ot near-by mar
kets and local growers.
Present prices of land and its products
will not justify a man in clearing rocky
land for pastures or fields either, unless
it is near some large town where market
gardening can be followed.
To keep borers away from my peach
trees and to keep the trunks nice and
smooth I wrap them with tar paper from
an inch below ground up eighteen inch
es when first set out and keep it on.
If you do not use a lawn mower save
tome nicely cured fine grass where you
can get at it next winter. Run some of
it through the feed cutter and soak out
for the fowls; they will appreciate it.
It cost much more to regain a lost
pound of flesh on a steer than to add a
like weight to a thrifty one. In pur
chasing steers to feed, thrifty ones will
generally be found the more profitable.
We know of nothing that purifies the
hen-house better than fresh earth scat
tered on the floor. Kerosene may kill
lice, ashes or dust be good for a dust
bath, but neither of these give the fresh
ness that fresh soil does. Try it.
The improvement in native wild fruits
has made the Norlhwest more productive
in the line of plums, cherries and cur
rants, while the introduction of pears
and apples from Russia has greatly in
creased the production in that line.
The little culls of strawberries, per
haps imperfect on one side, will add but
a trifle to the quantity of fruit and surely
pull down the price for the basket or
crate more than seems possible. Suc
cessful fruit men agree in the advice to
assort closely.
The Ruling rnssion Strong In Death.
While extending and repairing the old
buildings of the late Royal Navy School
at New Cross, London, which is shortly
to be opened by the Goldsmiths Company
ns tiicir Technical and Recreative Insti
tute, it became necessary to remove the
floor of the old gymnasium. In doing
so the workmen discovered the skeleton
of a cat in close juxtaposition to that of
a rat, exactly ns shown in the picture.
The bodies of the animals were not quite
two inches apart in a sort of wedged-
thaped cul-de-sac, which was wider at
the top than the botton, and so prevent
ing the cat from quite reaching the rat.
When found the entrance to the hole or
passage was tilled up with dust and rub
bish, and there was nothing to prevent
egress of the animals by the way they
had entered except the disclination of
the cat to leave Its prey. The skeletons
when found were more than than half
covered with dust from the floor above
them, and have probably been many
years in the position they were found, in
which position Mr. Rcdmayne, Secretary
of the Goldsmiths' Institute, has had
them carefully mounted and photo
graphed. A curious coincidence is that
exactly the same discovery of the skele
tons of a cat and rat together under a
floor occurred while pulling down some
old buildings to construct the People's
Palace, which is the immediate prede
cessor of the Goldsmiths’ Institute.

/I WONDERFUL STRUCTURE,
rHE STORY OF THE GREAT LONDON,
BRIDGE. f
Us Original Erection Darted In the
Mist* of Antiquity—No Other |
Bridge Like IS Anywhere.
The original building of the bridge, |
writes Walter Besant in Harper, cannot 1
be discovered. As long as we know
snything of London the bridge was
there. For a long timo it was a bridge
of timber, provided with a fortified
gate—one of the gates of the city. In
the year 1095, the chronicler relates that
bn the feast of St. Edmund the Arch
bishop, at the hour of six, a dreadful
whirlwind from the southeast, coming
from Africa—thus da all authors in all
ages seize upou the opportunity of pa
rading their knowledge—“from Africa!”
all that way 1—blew upon the city and
overthrew upward of COO houses aud
several churches, greatly damaged the
Tower, and tore away the roof aud part
of the wall or St. Mary le Bow, in Cheap-
side. During the same storm the water
In the Thames rose with such rapidity
and increased so violently that London
Bridge was entirely swept away.
The bridge was rebuilt. Two years
ftf ter ward it narrowly escaped destruc
tion when a great part of the city was
destroyed by fire. Forty years ago it
did meet this fate in the still greater
fire of 1135. It was immediately re
built, but I suppose hurriedly, because
thirty years later it had to be constructed
anew.
Among the clergy of London was then
living one Peter, chaplain of a small
church in the Poultry—where Thomas
a Becket was bsptized—called Cole-*
church. The man was, above all others,
skilled in the craft aud mystery of
bridge-building, He was perhaps a mem
ber of the fraternity called the Pontiflc
(or bridge-building) Brothers, who about
this time built the famous bridges at
Avignon.Pont St. Esprit, Caho.s, Saintes
and Rochelle. He proposed to >uild a
stone bridge over the river. In order to
raise money for this great enterprise,
offerings were asked and contributed by
King, citizens, and even the country at
large. The list of contributors was
written out on a table for posterity, and
preserved in the Bridge Chapel.
This bridge, which was to last for six
hundred and fifty years, took as long to
build as King Solomon’s Temple, namely,
three-and thirty years. Before it was
finished the architect lay in his grave.
When it was completed the bridge was
9!i6 feet long and forty feet wide—Stow
says thirty feet; it stood sixty feet above
high-water; it contained a drawbridge
and ninety pointed arches, with massive
piers vaiying from twenty-five to thirty-
four feet iu solidity, raised upou strong
elm piles covered with thick plauks. The
bridge was curiously irregular; there was
no uniformity iu the breadth of the arches;
they varied from teu feet to thirty-two
feet. Over the tenth and longest pier
was erected a chapel dedicated to the
youngest saint in the calendar, St.
Thomas of Canterbury. The erection of
a chapel on a bridge was by no means
uncommon. Everybody, lor instance,
who has been in the south of France re
members the chapel on the broken bridge
at Avignon. Again, a chapel was built
on the bridge at Droitwich, in Cheshire,
and one on the bridge at Wakefield, .in
Yorkshire. Like the chapel at Avignon,
that of London Bridge contained an up
per and a lower chapel; the latter was
built in the pier with stairs, making it
accessible from the river. The bridge
gate at the soutiiern end was fortified by
a double tower, aud there was also a
tower at the northern end. The wall or
parapet of the bridge followed the line
of the piers, so as to give at every pier
additional room. The same arrange
ment used to be seen on the old bridge
at Putney.
The citizens have always regarded
London Bridge with peculiar pride and
affectiou. There was no other bridge
like it in the whole country, nor any
which could compare with it for strength
or for size. I think, indeed, that there
was not in the whole of Europe any
bridge that could compare with it; for
it was built not only over a broad river,
but a tidal river, in which the flood
rose aud ebbed with great vehemence
twice a day. Later on they built houses
ou either side, but at first the way was
clear. The bridge was endowed with
broad lands; certain monks, called
Brethren of St. Thomas on the Bridge,
were charged with the services in the
chapel, and with administering the rev
enues for the maintenance of the fabric.
The children made songs about it.
One of their songs, to which they
danced, taking hands, has been pre
served. It is modernized, and one
knows not how old it is. The author of
Chronicle* oj London Fridge gives it at
full length, with the music. Here are
two or three verses;
London Bridge is broken down,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
London Bridge is broken down,
W ith a gay la dee.
How shall we build it up again?
Danes over my Lady Lee;
How shall we build it up again?
With a gay lades.
Build it up with stone so strong,
Dance over my Lady Lee;
Huzza! ’twill last for agee long,
W ith a gay ladee.
Convicts Off for Siberia.
The Moicow correspondent of the
London News says. “To-day I witnessed
the departure for Siberia of the first
batch of convicts this season. They
stood in marching column at the railway
station, surrounded by a guard of about
100 soldiers with drawn swords. At the
head came the worst class of convicts,
about 300 in number, all having leg fet
ters and chains. Many had the right
half of the head shaved, an indication ol
long-scrvice sentences. Then came about
100 without fetters, convicted or sus
pected of lighter offenses, most of them
being without passports, and therefore
liable to punni'ament. Next follow about
100 women, some convicts and some
prisoners’ wives. It is pathetic to see
little children and some infants starting
on this long and terrible journey of ex
ile. The dress worn is gray, with a yel
low diamond on the back. The by
standers threw money to them to cnablo
them to purchase comforts ou the jour
uey.”

REV. DR. TALMAGE
The Brooklyn Divine's
Sunday Sermon
Text: “HTio knoweth whether thou art
come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
—Esther iv., 14.
Esther the Beautiful was the wife of
Ahasuerus the Abominable, The time had
come for her to present a petition to her in*
famous husbaufi in behalf of the Israelitish
nation, to which she had once belonged. She
was afraid to undertake the work lest she
should lose her own life; but her uncle, Mor-
decai, who had brought her up, encouraged
her with the suggestion that probably she
had been raised up of God for that peculiar
mission. “Who knoweth whether thou art
come to the kingdom for such a time as
this?” Esther had her God-appointed work;
you and I have ours. It is my business to
tell you what style of people we ought to be
in order that we may meet the demand of
the age iu which God has cast our lot. If you
have come expecting to hear abstractions
discussed or dry technicalities of religion
glorified, you have come to the wrong place;
but if you really would like to know what
this age has a right to expect of you as
Christian men and women, then I am ready
in the Lord’s name to look you in the face.
When two armies have rushed into battle
the officers of either army do not want phil
osophical discussions about the chemical
properties ot human blood or the nature of
gunpowder. They want some one to man
the batteries and swab out the guns. And
now, when all the forces of light and dark
ness, of heaven and hell, have plunged into
the fight, it is no time to give ourselves to
the definitions and formulas and technicali
ties and conventionalities of religion. What
we want is practical, earnest, concentrated,
enthusiastic and triumphant help. What we
need in the East vou in Wisconsin need.
In the first place, in order to meet the
special demand of this age, you need to be
an unmistakably aggressive Christian. Of
half and half Christians we do not want any
more. The church of Jesus Christ will be
better without ten thousand of them. They
are the chief obstacle to the church’s aa-
vancement. I am speaking of another kind
of Christian. All the appliances for your
becoming an earnest Christian -are at your
hand, and there is a straight path for you in
to the broad daylight of Goa’s forgiveness.
You may havo come here to-day the bonds
men of the world, and yet before you go out
of these doors you may become the princes
of the Lord God Almighty. You know what
excitement there i$ in this country when a
foreign prince comes to our shores. Why?
Because it is expected that some day he will
sit upon a throne. But what is all that
honor compared with the honor to which
God calls you—to be sons and daughters of
the Lord Almighty; yea, to be queens and
kings unto God! “They shall' reign with
Him forever and forever.”
But, my friends, you need not be aggres
sive Christians, and not like those persons
who spend their lives in hugging their Chris
tian graces and wondering why they do not
make any progress. How much robustness
of health would a man have if he hid him
self in a dark closet? A great deal of
of the day is too exclusive. It hides
It needs more fresh air, more outdoor' exer
cise. There are many Christians who are
giving their entire life to self examination.
They are feeling their pulses to see what is
the condition of their spiritual health. How
long would a man have robust physical health
if he kept all the days and weeks and months
and years of his life feeling his pulse instead
of going out into active, earnest, everyday
work?
1 was once amid the wonderful, bewitch
ing cactus growths of North Carolina. I
never was more bewildered with the beauty
of flowers, and yet when I would take up
one of these cactuses and pull the leaves
apart, the beauty was all gone. You could
hardly tell that it had ever been a flower.
And there are a great many Christian peo
ple in this day just pulling apart tneir
Christian experiences to see what there is
in them, and there is nothing attractive
left. This style of self examination is a
damage instead of an advantage to their
Christian character. I remember when I
was a boy I used to have a small piece in
the garden that I called my own, and I
planted corn there, and every few days I
would puli it up to see how fast it was
growing. Now, there are a great many
Christian people in this day whose self ex
amination merely amounts to the pulling
up of that which they only yesterday or
the day before planted.
Oh, my friends! if you want to have a
stalwart Christian character, plant it right
out of doors in the great field of Christian
usefulness, and though storms may come
upon it, ami though the hot sun of trial may
try to consume it, it will thrive until it be
comes a great tree, in which the fowls of
heaven may have their habitation. I have
no patience with these flowerpot Christians.
They keep themselves under shelter, and all
their Christian experience in a small, exclu
sive circle, when they ought to plant it in
the great garden of the Lord, so that the
whole atmosphere could be aromatic with
their Christian usefulness. What we want
in the church of Go i is more brawn of piety.
The century plant is wonderfully sugges
tive and wonderfully beautiful, but 1 never
look at it without thinking of its parsimony.
It lets whole generations go by before it puts
forth one blossom; so I have really
more heartfelt a Imiratiou when I see
the dewy tears in the blue eyes ol
the violets, for they come every spring. My
Christian friends, timo is going by so nv>-
hlly that we cannot afford to bo idle.
A recent statistician says that humn?i life
now has an average of only thirty-two years.
From these thirty-two years you must sub
tract all the time you take for sleep and the
taking of food and recreation; that will leave
you about sixteen years. From those sixteen
years you must subtract all the timo you aro
necessarily engaged in the earning of a liveli
hood; that will leave you about eight years.
From those eight years you must take all the
d'tys and weeks and months—all the length
of time that is passed in childhood and sick
ness, leaving you about one year in which to
work for God. Oh, my soul, wake up! How
darest thou sleep in harvest time and with so
few hours in which to reap? Ho that I state
it as a simple fact that all the time that the
vast majority of you will have for the ex
clusive service of God will be less than one
year!
“But,” says some man, “I liberally support
the Gospel, and the church is open and the
Gospel preached; all the spiritual advan
tages are spread before men, and if they
want to be saved let them come and be
saved; I have discharged all my responsi-
bility.” Ah! is that the Master's spirit? Is
there not an old Book somewhere that com
mands us to go out into the highways and
hedges and compel the people to come in?
What would have become of you and me if
Christ had not come down ofl! the hills of
heaven,and if He had not come through the
door of the Bet hlehem caravansary, and if
Ho had not with the crushed hand of the
crucifixion knocked at ths iron cate of the
«*puicner ot our spintuil death, crying,
“J.minis come forth!”
Oh, my Christian friends, this is no time
for inertia, when all the forces of darkness
seem to be in full blast; when steam printing
presses are publishing infidel tracts; when
express railroad trains are carrying mes
sengers of sin; when fast clippers are laden
with opium and rum; when the night air of
our cities is polluted with the laughter that
breaks up from the ten thousand saloons ot
dissipation aud abandonment; when the fires
of the second death already are kindled in
the cheeks of some who only a little while
ago were incorrupt. Never since the curse
fell upon the earth has there been a time
when it was such an unwise, such a cruel,
such an awful thing for the church to sleep!
The great audiences are not gathered in the
Christian churches: the exeat audiences are
gauiereu in tom pies oi sin—tears of unutter
able woe their baptism, the blood of crushed
hearts tho awful wine of their sacrament,
blasphemies their litany, aud the groans of
the lost world the organ dirge of their
worship.
Again, if you want to be qualified to meet
the duties which this ago demands of you,
you must on the one hand avoid reckless
iconoclasm, and on the other hand not stick
too much to things because they are old. The
ail* is full of new plans, new projects, new
theories of government, new theologies, and
J am amazed to see how so many Christians
want only novelty in order to recommend a
thing to their confidence; and so they vacil
late and swing to and fro, and they are use
less and they are unhappy. New plans—
secular, ethical, philosophical, religious, cis
atlantic, transatlantic. Ah, my brother, do
not uuopt u imng merely Decause it is new.
Try it by the realities of aiudgment day.
But, on the other hand, do not adhere to
anything merely because it is old. There is
not a single enterprise of the church or the
world MV has sometimes been scoffed at.
Th. ro was a time when men derided even
Bible societies; and when a few young men
met near a haystack in Massachusetts and
organized the* first missionary society ever
organized in this country, there went laugh
ter ana naicuie an around me unristian
church. They said the undertaking was pre
posterous.
And so also the work of Jesus Christ wan
at-sailed. People cried out, “Whoever heard
of such theories of ethics and government?
Whoever noticed such a style of preaching
as Jesus has?” Ezekiel had talked of mys
terious wings and wheels. Here came a man
from Capernaum and liennesaret, and H*
drew His illustrations from the lakes, from
the sand, from the ravine, from the lilies,
from the cornstalks. How the Pharisees
scoffed! How Herod derided! How Caiphas
hissed! And this Jesus they plucked by the
beard, and they spat in His face, and they
called Him “this fellow!” All the great en
terprises in and out of the church nave ad
times been scoffed at, and there have been a
great multitude who have thought that the
chariot of God’s truth would fall to pieces if
it once got out of the old rut.
Aud so there are those who have no pa
tience with anything like improvoment in
church architecture or with anything iiko
good, hearty, earnest church singing, and
they deride any form of religious discusjion
which goes down walking among everyday
men rather than that wnich makes an ex
cursion on rhetorical stilts. Oh, that the
Church of God would wake up to an adapt
ability of work! Wo must admit the sim
ple fact that the churches of Jesus Christ in
this day do not reach the great masses.
There are fifty thousand people in Edinburgh
who never hear the Gospel. There are one
million people in London who never hear the
Gospel. There are at least three hundred
thousand souls in the city of Brooklyn who
come not under the immediate ministrations
of Christ’s truth, an l the Church of Go.l in
this day, instead of being a place full of
living epistles, read aud known of all men,
is more like a “dead letter” postoffice.
“But,” say the people, "the world isgo ng
to be converted. You must be patient. r J iie
kingdoms of this world are to become t he
kingdoms of Christ.” Never, unless the
church of Jesus Christ puts on more speed
and energy. Instead of the church convert
ing the world, the world is converting the
church. Here is a great fortress. How shall
it be taken? An army comes and sits around
about it, cuts off the supplies and says, “Now
we will lust wait until frn»n exhaustion and
starvation they will h »ve to give up.” Weeks
and months, and perhaps a year, pass along,
and finally the fortress surrenders through
that starvation and exhaustion. But. my
friends, the fortresses of sin aro never to
be taken in that way. If they are taken for
God it will be by storm. You will have to
bring up the great siege guns of the Gospel
to the very wall, and wheel the flying artil
lery ipto line, and when the armed infantry
of heaven shall confront the battlements you
will have to give the quick command: “For
ward I Charge!”
Ah, my friends, there is work for you to
do and for me to do in order to achieve this
grand accomplishment! Here is a pulpit,
and a clergyman preaches in it. Your pul
pit is the bank. Your pulpit is the store.
Your pulpit is the editorial chair. Your
pulpit is the anvil. Your pulpit is the
nouse scaffolding. Your pulpit is the me
chanic’s shop. I may stand in this place and,
through cowardice or through self seeking,
may keep back the word I ought to utter;
while you, with sleeve rolled up and brow
besweated with toil, may utter the word
that will jar the foundation of heaven with
the shout of a great victory. Oh, that to
day this whole audience might feel t hat tho
Lord Almighty is putting upon them the
hands of ordination. Every one, go forth
and preach this Gospel. You have as much
right to preach as I have, or as any man has.
Only find out tho pulpit where God will
have you preach, and there preach.
Healey Vicars was a wicked man in the
English army The grace of God came to
him. He became an earnest and eminent
Christian. They scoffed at him and said,
“You are a hypocrite: you are as bad as
ever you were.” Still he kept his faith in
Christ, and after awhile, finding that they
could not turn him aside by calling him a
hypocrite, they said to him, “Oh, you are
nothing but a fanatic.” That did not dis
turb him. He went on performing his Chris
tian duty until ho had formed iul his troop
into a Bible class, and the whole encamp
ment was shaken with the presence of God.
So Havelock went into the heathen temple
in India while th? English army was there,
and put a candle into the hand of each of
the heathen gods that stood around in the
heathen temple, and by the light of those
candles, held up by the idols, General Have
lock preaefied righteousness, temperance and
judgment to come. And who will say, on
earr’u or in heaved, that Havelock had not
the right to preach?
In the minister’s house where I prepared
for college there was a man who worked, by
the name of Peter Croy. He could neither
read nor write, but he was a man of God.
Often theologians would stop in the house—
f rave theologians—and at family prayers
eter Croy would be called upon to lead, and
all those wise men sat around, wonderstruck
at his religious efficiency. When he prayed
he reached up and seemed to take hold of
the very throne of the Almighty, and he
talked with God till the very heavens were
bowed down into the sitting-room. Oh, if I
were dying I would rather have plain Peter
Croy stand by my bedside and commend
my immortal spirit to God than some he.irt-
lesss ecclesiastic arrayed in costly canon
icals. Go preach this Gospel. You say you
are not licenser!. In the name of the Lord
Almighty, this morning I license you. Go
preach this Gospel—preach it in the Sabbath-
schools, in the prayer-meetings, in the high
ways, in the beiges. Woe be unto you if
you preach it not.
L remark, again, that in order to be quali
fied to meet your duty in this particular age
you want unbounded faith in the triumph of
the truth and the overthrow of wickedness.
How dare the^Christian church ever get dis
couraged? Have you not the Lord Almighty
on our side? How long did it take God to
slay the hosts of Henuacherib or burn Bo-
doin or shake down Jericho? How long will
it take God, when Ho once arises in His
strength to overthrow all the forces of iniq
uity? Between this time and that there
may be long seasons of darkness—the char
iot wheels of God’s Gospel may seem to drag
heavily, but here is tho promise, and yonder
is tho throne; and when Ominiscience has
lost its eyesight and Omnipotence falls back
impotent and Jehovah is driven from His
throne, then the church of Jesus Christ can
afford to bo despondent, but never until
then. Despots may plan and armies may
march,and the congresses of the nation may
seem to think they are adjusting all the af
fairs of the world, but the mighty men of
the earth aro only tho dust of the chariot
wheels of God’s providence.
I think that before the sun of this century
shall set, tho last tyranny may fall, and
with a splendor of demonstration that shall
be the astonishment of the universe God will
set forth tho brightness and pomp and glory
and perpetuity of His eternal government.
Out of the starry flags and emblazoned in
signia of this world God will make a oath for
His own triumph, and returning from uni
versal conquest Ho will sit down, the grand
est, strongest, highest throne of earth His
footstool.
Ttien shall all nations’ song ascend.
To Thee, our Kuler, Father. Friend,
Till heaven’s high arch resounds again
With ‘‘Peace on earth, good will to men.”
I preach this sermon because 1 want to
encourage all Christian workers in every
S jssible department. Hosts of the living
od, march on! march on! His spirit will
bless you. His shield will defend you. His
sword will strike for you. March on! march
on! The last despotism will fall, and pagan
Ism will burn its idols, and Mohammedanism
will give up its false prophet and the great
walls of superstition will come down iu
thunder and wreck at the long, loud blast of
the Gospel trumpet. March on! March on!
The besiegement will soon be ended. Only
a few more steps on the long way; only h
few more sturay blows; only a few more bat
tle cries, then God will put the laurel upon
your brow, and from the living fountains of
heaven will bathe off the sweat and the heat
and the dust of the conflict.
March on! March on! For you the time
for work will soon be past, and amid the
outflashings of the judgment throne and the
trumpeting of resurrection angels and the
upheaving of a world of graves and tho
hosanna of the saved and the groaning of the
lost, we shall be rewarded for our faithful
ness or punished for our stupidity. Blessed
be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting
to everlasting, and let the whole earth ba
filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
