DR. TALM AGE'S SERMON j Th? Eminent Divine's Sunday Disoourse. 8abJ?rt: "Baidloi of lilfk"?InlplrMlon Drown From ? Hotatly Phrmio?Llh, Spiritual and Physical, la Divinely Protected?Bundles Which Arc Blessings. Trxt: "The soul of my Lord shall be bouDd in the bundle of life with the Lord by God."?I Samuel mt., 29. 1 Beautiful Abigail, in her rbythmlo plen for the rescue of her Inebriate husband, . wbo died within ten days, addresses David, ' the warrior, in the words of the text. She suggests that bis life, pliysionlly and intellectually and spiritually, is a valuable package or bundle, divinely bound up and . *o be divinely protected. The phrase "bundle of life" I heard many ' timet in my father's family prayers'. Fom ily-prayers you know, have frequent repetitions, because day by day they acknowledge about the same blessings and deplore about the same frntltios and sympathize with about the same misfortunes, and I do not know why those who lead at household devotions should seek variety of composition. That familiar prayer becomes the ucuewnuia iiiurgy. t wouia not Rive 0110 of my old father's prayers for llfty elocu. tlonary supplications. Attain and again. , In the morning and evening prayer, X heard the request that we might nil be bound up In the bundle of life, but I did not know until n few days ago tnnt the phrase was a Bible phrase. During the last .spell of oold weather there were bundles that attracted the attention and the plaudits of the high lmavj ens, bundles of olothlng on the way from comfortable homes to the door of the mission room, and Christ stood in the ; snowbanks and said as the bundles passed: 4 "Naked, and ye olothed me. Inasmuoh as ye have done it unto one of the least of > these my brethren ye have done it unto me. ' Those bundles are mnltibiying. Blessings on those who paok thorn. Blessings on those who distribute them. Blessings on those who receive them, , With what beautiful aptitude did Abigail In my. text speak of the bundle of life! Oh, > what a precious bundle Is life! Bundle of memories, buudle of hopes, bundlo of ambitions, buudle of destinlesl Once In a while a man writes his autobiography, and It Is or thrilling Interest. The story of his blrthplnce, the story of his struggles, the story of his sufferings, the story of his triumphs! Iiut If the autobiography of the most eventful life were well written it would innko many chapters of adventure, of tragedy, of comedy, and there would not be nn uninteresting stop from cradle to grave. Bundle of memories are yoal Boyhood memories, with all Its injustices from playmates, with all its game with ball ana bat and kite and sled. Manhood memories, with all your struggles in starting?obstacles, opposition, aocldents, misfortunes, losses, successes. Memories of the first marriage you ever saw solemnized, of the first grave you ever saw opened, of the flwt mll'lltv wrnnc vfiii avmp anfParaH nf the first victory you over gnlnod. Memory < ! the hour when you werenfflauced, memory of the first advent In your home, memory of roseate cheek faded and of blue ?yea closed in the last sloop, memory of anthem and of dirge, rapmory of great pain and of slow convalescence, memory of times wheu all things were against you, memory of prosperities that came in like the full tide of tne sea, memories of a lifetime. What a bundle! Bundle of hopes and ambitions also la almost every mhu and woman, especially at the starting. What gains he will harvest, or wbnt reputation he will achieve, or what bliss he will reach, or what love he willwiu. What makes college commence, ment day so entrancing to all of us as we [ see the students receive their diplomas and u-' take up the garland) thrown to their f?et? They will bo Faradnys In science: they will t be Teunysons in poesy; they will be Willard Parkers in surgery; they will be Alexander Hamilton* In national finance; they will be Horace Orealays in editorial chair: they | will he Websters in the Senate, Or she will ho a Mary Lvon In educational | realms, or n Frances Willard on reformatory platform, or a Helen Gould in military hospitals. Or she will make home life V radiant with helpfulness and self-sucrlfloe \ and maguiticeut womanhood. Ob, what n s bundle of hopes and ambltlonsl It Is a ^Hjndle of garlands and scepters frpm W'tch I would not take one sprig of m'KH>nette nor extinguish one spark of , brillliWfo. They who start life without bright \opes and Inspiring ambitions might as-well not start at all, for every step will be a failure. Bather wouhj I ndd to the bundle, and 11 I open it now it will be because 1 wish to takb anything from it, hpt that I may put into it more coronets and hosannas. Bundle of faculties in every man and every woman! Power to think?to think of the past and through all the future, to think upward and higher than the highest pinnacle of heaven, or to think downward until there is no lower abysm to fathom. Power to think right, power to think wrong, power to think forever, for, onoe having begun to think, there shall be no terminus for that exercise, and eternity itself shall have no power to bid It halt. Faculties to love?filial love, couiugal love, paternal love. maternAl love, love of country, love of Ood. Faculty of judgment, with scales so delicate and yet so mighty they can weigh arguments, weigh emotions, weigh worlds, weigh heaven and hell. Faculty ol will, that can olirab mountains or tunnel them, wade seas or bridge them, accepting eternal enthronement or choosiug ever lasting exile. Oh, what I) In to be a man! Oh, whu.. it Is to be a woman! Sublime and infinite bundle of faculties! The thought of it staggers me, swamps me, stuns me, bewilders me, overwhelms me, Oh, what abuudlo of life Abigail of my toxt saw in David and which we ought to see In overy human vet immortal being! Know, also, that this bundle of life is properly directed. Many a bundle has missed its way and disappeared because the address has dropped, and no one can find by examination for what city or town or neighborhood it was Intended. All great oarrying companies have so many mlsdlreoted packages that they appoint days of vendue to d I s p o^g ^ ui 4n' if ? vVn g "a "Valuable package plainly directed, the name of the one to whom it is to go plainly written. Baggage master and expressman ought to know at the first glance to whom to take it. The bundle of life that Abigail in my text speaks of is plainly addressed. By divine peumnnshlp it is dlrectod heavenward. However long may be the earthly distance it travels Its destination is the aternal city of Ood on high. Every mile it {oes away from that dlreotlon is by some uman or infernal fraud praotioed against it. There are those who put It on some other track, who misplace it in some wrong conveyance, who send it off or send it baok by some dlabollo miscarriage. The value of that bundle is so well known all up and ddwn the universe that there are 1,000,000 dishonest hands whloh are trying to detain or divert It or to forever stop its progress in the right direction. There ure so many influences abroad to ruin your body, mind and soul that my wonder is not that so many aro destroyed for this world and the next, but that iii? ?? ??? - ? , w?w uvt U1UIO wuu KO I down irremediably. Every human being la assailed at tin* start. Within an hour of tho time when this bundle of life is made up the assault begins. First of ail there are the infantile disorders that threaten the body Just launched upon earthly existence. Hcarlot fevers and pneumonias and diphtherias and lDflu"u/.A8 and the whole pack of epidemics surround tho cradle and threaten its ovnpant; and infant Moses In the ark oftmllrufthcs wns not more imperiled by the monsters of the Nile than every cradle la Imperiled by ailments all devouring. In after year* thm are torn wtthln ud torn without. Svfl appetite joined by outside allu rement*. Temptations that have utterly destroyed more people than now Inhabit the earth. Gambling saloons and rammerlee and plaoas where dissoluteness reign* supreme, enough in number to go ropnd and round the earth. Dleoouragements, jealousies, revenges, malevolences, disappointments, swindles, arsons, conflagrations and eruetttee, whloh make continued existence of the human race a wonderment. Was ever any valuable bundle ever so Imperiled as this bundle of life? Oh, look at the address and get that bundle going In the right wayl "Thou shalt love the Lord tby Ood with all thy heart and soul and mind and strength." Know also that a bundle may have In It more than one invaluable. Thure may be iu it a photograph of a loved one end a jewel for a carcanet. It mey contain an embroldored robe and a Dore's Illustrated Bible. A bundle may have two treasures. Abigail In my text recognised this when she said to David, "The soul of my lord Is bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God." And Abigail was right. We may be bound up with a loving and sympathetio Gou. Wo may be as near to Him as evor woro emerald and ruby united in one ring, as ever were two deeds in one package, as ever were two vases on the same shelf, as ever were two valuables in the same bundle. Together in time of sorrow. Together in time of Joy. Together on earth. Together in heaven. Close oompanionshlp of God. Hear Him, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the oovenant of My peace be removed, satth the Lord that bath mercy on thee." And when those Bible authors compared God's friendship to the motttitalns for height and firmness they- kpew what they were writing about; tor they well knew what mountains are. All those Innds are mountainous. Mount Harmon, Mount Gilboa," Mount Gerlslm, Mount Engedl, -Mount Horob, Mount Nebo, Mount Plsgab, Mount Olivet, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount Lebanon. Mount Hlnal, Mount Golgotha. Yes, we have the divine promise that all those mountains shall weigh their anchorage of rooks and move away from the earth before a loving and sympathetio God will move away from us if we love and trust Him. Oh, it we oould realtze that according to my text we may bound up with that God, how independent It would make us of things that now harass and annoy and discompose and torment usi Instead of a grasshopper being a burden, a world of oare would be as light as a feather, and tombstones would be marble stairs to the King's palace, and all the giauts of opposition we would smite down bip and thigh with great slaughter. Know, also, that this bundle of life will be gladly received when it comes to the door of the mansion for which it was bound and plainly directed. With what alnorlty nud glee we await some package that has uuou lurmum oy iguor, Homo uonuay presentation, something that will enrich and ornament our home, some testimony of admiration and alTeetlonl With what glow of expectation we untie the knot and take off the cord that holds it together in safety, and with what glad exclamation we unroll the covering und see the gift or purchase in all Its beauty of color and proportion. Well, what a day it will be when your precious bundle of life shall bo opened in the "house of mauy uiaualons," amid saintly and angelic and divine inspection! The bundle may be spotted with the marks of much exposure, it may bear Inscription after inscription to tell through what ordeal It has passed, perhaps splashed of wave and scorched of flame, but all It has within undhmaged of the Journey. And with what shouts of Joy the bundle of life will be greeted by all the voices of the heavenly home clrole. In our aixioty at last to reaoh heaven we are apt Ip lose sight of the gleo or welcome that awaits ns if wo get in a( all. We all have friends op there. They will somehow bent /Aat we are coming. Rgoh close and s'wttt and constant communication Is * there between those uplands and these lowlands tpat we will not surprise them by sudden aiflval. If loved ones on earth expect our of mlng visit and are at the depot with carnage to meet us, surely we will be met at (lie shining gate bv old friends uow sainted and kindred now glorified. It there were no angel ot God to meet us and show us thdpalaces and guide us to our everlastingVesldenoe, these kindred would show us the way and point out the splendors and guide us to our celestial home, bowored and fountalned and arched and illumined by a sun that never sets. Will it not bo glorious, the going In and the settling down after all the moving about and upsottlngs of earthly experience? We will soon know all our neighbors, kingly, queenly, prophetic, apostolic, seraphic, arcbangello. The precious bundle or life opened amid palaces and grand marohes and acolamntlons. They will all be so glad wo have got safely through. They saw us down here In tha struggle. They saw us when we lost our way. They knew when we got off the right course. None of (the thirty-two ships that were overduo at New York harbor In the storm ot week before last was greeted so heartily by friends on the dock or the steam tugs that went out to meet tliom at Sandy Hook as we will be greeted in the heavenly world It bv the pn^doning and protecting grace ot God !/e come to celestial wharfage. We shall live to tell them of the many wrecks that jwe have passed on the way across wild sets and amid Caribbean cyclones. It wllire ltko onr arrival some years ago from Nuv Zealand at Sydney. people surprised tivt we got In at all, because we were two dkys late, and soma of the ships expected lia gone to the bottom, and we bad pas|)d derelicts anl abandoned ornftsnll up aiid down that awful obannel?our arrival h heaven all the more rapturously welcomid beoause of the doubt as to whether we. would ever get there at all. . Once there it will be round that the safety of that preoious tyndls of life was assured beoause It was Diund up with the life ot God In Jesus Gbrlli. Heaven oould not afford to have that handle lost because It had been said In regard lo Its transportation and safe arrival, "Kdpt by the power of God through faith untoi complete salvation." The veracity of tie heavens Is involved in Its arrival. If God shouJA^ i to keep His promise to Iwpiif.'.r11 soul uj* pillars of throne - -irvlffCT fall, and the forf/A?*'??* ot the eternal city would cri?-*t>lo, and Infinite poverties would <*i?n down all the challoes, and olose all the banqueting halls, and the river of life would ohange Its course, sweeping evervthii? with desolation, and frost would blast all the gardens, <>iivi iiuutnnBuraoiB sioaness stay (Da tmmortals, and the new Jerusalem become an abandoned olty, with no ohariot wheel on the streets and no worshippers In the temple?a dead Pompeii of the skies, a buried Herculaneum ot the heavens. Lest any one should doubt, the Ood who oannot lie smites his omnipotent hand on the side of his throne and takes affidavit, deolarlng, "As I live, saith the Lord Ood, I have no pleasure In the death of him that dleth." Oh, I cannot tell you how I feel about It, the thought Is so glorious. Bound up with Qod. Bound up with infinite meroy. Bound up with Infinite Joy. Bound up with infinite purity. Bound up with infinite might. That thought Is more beautiful and-plorlous than was the heroic Abigail, woo at the toot of the crags uttered, "Bound in the bundle of life with tho Lord thy Oodl" Now, my honror and reader, appreciate the value of that bundle. Bee that it is hound up with nothing mean, but with tbe unsullied and the Immaculate. Not wltha pehblo of the shifting bench, but with the kohlnoor of the palace; not with some' lading regalia of earthly pomp, but with the robe wuslied aud male white lu the blood of tho Lamb.

At an election booth in Milwaukee avenue, the judge was a Qerman, whose worth as an American citizen is not marked by an extensive knowledge of the coui^ry of his adoption. He is, however, an active ward hustler, and aa such he always stands ace high with his party during campaigns. On election day a resident of the precinct called to cast his ballot. He was not known to the judge, and the latter asked: "Vhere vas you born?" "In Iowa," was the response. "Veil, let me se your papers," demanded the election official. "Why, Judge," broke In one of the "lerks, "this man doesn't have to show &. turallzatlon jpnpere: he was born in IOWXj-" "Vnat!" exclaimed the Judge, "Is Iowa In der United Shtates?"?Chicago Journal.

Yet of the 8.700 Inhabitants of that great peninsular. 3,000 are of the white or mixed race. They mainly are descendants of English sailors, some of whom were shipwrecked and more of whom probrfbly left their ships without leave. Finding themselves stranded on this lonely shore, they made the best of their lot, marrying Eskimo wives and living after the manner of the country. In later times some Newfoundlanders chose rather to settle In Labrador than make the uncomfortable trips to and fro yearly from St John's for the annual codflshing off the. Labrador shores.

They dwell In houses of stone or logs. In winter they wear hooded fur garments like the Eskimos; In summer the ordinary garb of Newfoundland fishermen. The women dress In gray or blue woollen stuff, with a gaudy gown for best On tlieh heads they wear a knit heod or n bright-colored handkerchief, and, it may be, at out-of-door work or abroad on the water, a man's sou'wester. Against the walls in their houses are pasted such pictures as 'they have been able to clip from the few newspapers that fall ii^ their way, advertising lithographs that have come with goods to the trading stores, and pictures of thes ort issued by tract societies. On the table or shelf in the living room Is always a Bible, religiously read on Sunday when the cod are not biting or a fare of fish to be dressed and flaked. It is a devout and sober-minded community, that of the whites along the coast of Labrador. Their religious ministrations are provided by the Moravians, who have several missions in Labrador; their temperance is assured by stringent laws forbidding the landing of any lhfrors In Labrador, and these are made effective by a thorough patrol by the Dominion revenue steamships, which deal Inexorably with smugglers of strong water.
