New York, Oot. 0.—In bis sermon for to -day, Rev. br. Talmage spealcS direetly to the hearts of all wile have not yet de- finitely accepted the free offer of salva- tion in Christ Jesus. The subject was "A Point -Blank Question," the text be- ing II Kings, 15, "Is thine heart right? With Inettled horses at full speed, for he was celebreted for fast driving, John, the Nvatrior and king, returns from bat- tle. But, seeing Johonaclab, an acquein tanoe,by the wayside, he shouts "Whoa 'Whoa! to the lathered span. Then lean- ing over to Johonadab, John salutes him in the words of the text—words not more appropriate for that hour and that place, than for this hour and place, "Is thine heart right P' 7 should like to hear of your physical health. Well myselni like to have every- body case well, and so might ask: "Is your eyesight right, your hearing right? Are your nerves right, your lungs right? Is your entire body right? But I am busy to -day taking diagnosis of the more important spiritual conditions. I should. like to hear of your financial welfare. I want everybody to have plenty of mon- ey, ample apparel, large storehouse and oomfortable residence,ancl I might ask: Is your business right, your income right? Are your worldly surroundings right? But what are these financial questions compared. with the inquiry as to whether you have been able to pay your debts to ‘Gotl; as to whether you are insured for eternity; as to whether you are ruining .yourself by the long credit system of the soul? I have known men to have no more than one loaf of bread at a thne, ,and yet to own a government bond of .heaven worth nore than the whole ma- terial universe. The question I ask you to -day Is nal! in regard to your habits. I make ne In- quiry about your integrity, or your dbas- tity, or your sobriety. I do not mean to stand on the outside of the gate and Ting the bell, but coining up the steps omen the door and come to the private apartment of the soul, and with the ear- ' .nestness of a man that must give an ac- count of this day's work, I cry out, 0 :man, 0 woman immortal, is thine heart Tight? I will not insult you by an argu- tnont to prove that we are by nature all wrong. If there' be a factory explosion, and the smokestack bo upset, and the wheels be broken in two, and tho engine unjointed, and the ponderous bars be -twisted, and a man should look in and :say that nothing was the matter, you would pronounce him a fool. Weinit needs no mum= to discover that our nature is all atwist and askew and unjointed. The thing doesn't work right. The biggest trouble tve have in the world is with our souls. Mon sometimes say that, though their lives may not be just Tight, their heart is all right. Impossible. A:farmer never puts the poorest apples on top of his barrel, nor does the inerthant place the meanest goods in his shop window. The best part of us is °or outward life. I do not stop to discuss whether we all fell in Adana, for we have been our own Adam, and hatve all eaten of the forbid- den fruit, and have been turned oat of the paradise of holiness and peace, and •though the flaming sword that stood at the gate to keep its out has changed posi- tion and comes behind to drive us in we will not go. The Bible account of us is DO exagger- ated when it says that we are poor and 'wretched and. miserable and blind and naked. Poor 1 The wretch that stands shivering on our dooistep on a cold dry is not so much in need of bread as we are of spiritual help. Blind! Why, the man -whose eyes perished in the powder blast, • and who for these ten years has gone feel- ing his way from street to street is not •.in such utter darkness as we. Naked! Why, there is not one rag of holiness left to hide the shame of our sin. Sick! Why, tho leprosy has eaten into the head, and the hands, and the feet, and the mares - onus of an everlasting wasting away has ,already seized. on some of as. But the inea,nest thing for a man to do Is to discourse about an evil without pointing a way to have it remedied. I • speak of the thirst of your hot tongue .only that I may show you the living :stream that drops crystalline and spark- ling from the Rock of Ages and pours a :river of gladness at your feet. If I show you the rents in your coat, it is only be- cause the door of God's wardrobe now swings open, and here is a robe white with the fleece of the Lamb of God, and of a cnt and make that an angel would mot be ashamed to wear. If I snatch from you the black, moldy bread that you are munching, it is:only to give you the bread made out of the finest wheat that grows on the celestial hills and bak- asd in the fires of the cross, and one crumb ..of which would be enough to make all „heaven a banquet. Hear it, one and all, and tell it to your friends when you go home, that the Lord Jesus Christ can onake the heart right. First, we need a repenting heart. If /or the last 10, 20, or 40 years of life we have been going on in the wrong way, it is time that we turned around and start- ed in the opposite direction. If we offend .our friends, we are glad to apologize. , stt God is our best friend, and yet how many ,of us have never apologized for the'wrongs we have done him! There is nothing that we so much need to get rid of as sin. It is a horrible blaok •monster. It polluted Edon. It killed .Christ. It has blasted the world. Men keep dogs in kennels, and rabbits in a 'Warren, and cattle in a pen. What a man tbat would be who would shut them up in bis parlor But this foul dog of sin and these herds of transgtession we bave .entettained for many a long year in our beint, whiell should be • tho cleanest, :brightest room in all our nature. Out with the vile herd!

In that pure, high place let him hear us.

We heat d the click of the hoofs of the white horses on which visitors rode and the clapping 'of the cymbals of eternal triumph. And, while in our sleep we wore glad that all our sorrows wore over aod burdens done With, the throne of God grew whiter and whiter and whiter till we opened our eyes and saw that it as only the sun of an earthly morning shining on our pillow. To have a right heart, you need to be fill- ed with this expectancy. It would make your privations and annoyances more bearable. In the midst of the city of Paris stands a statue of the good but broken-hearted Josephine. I never imagined that mar- ble could be smitten into such tenderness. It seems uot lifeless. If the spirit of Josephine be disentabernaolon, the soul of the empress has taken possession of this figure: I am not yet satisfied that it is not stone. The nuff of the dress ou the arm seems to need but the pressua; of the finger to niaent it. The figures at the bot- tom of the robeethe raffle at the neek,the far lining on the dress, the embroidery of the satin, the duster of lily and leat and rose in her hand, the poise of her body as she seems to come sailing out of the sky, her face °aim huinble, beautiful but yet sad—attest the genius of the will never drop their petals. Believe not the recent slanders upon her memory.

The place will be full. Here there are vacant chairs at the bearth and at the table, but there are no vacant chairs in heaven—the crowns all worn the thrones all mounted. Some talk of heaven as though it were a very .handsome church, where a few favored spirits would coin° in and sit down on finely cushioned seats all by themselves and sing psalms to all eternity.

They have some old wine in heaven not used except in rare festivi- ties. In this world those who are accus- tomed to use wine on great occasions bring out tho beverage and say, "This wino is • thirty years old," or, "forty years 615 '' But the wine of heaven is more than eighteen centuries old. It was prepared at the time when Christ trod the wino press alone. When such gravious sinners as we come back, methinks the chamberlain of beaveu cries out to the servants: "This is unusual joy. Bring np from the vaults of heaven that old wine. all the taukards. Let all the white -robed guests drink to the limner- te1 health of those new-born sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty."

'nhe piping of oil, first from the individ- ual oil wells to storage centers, and then from the storage centers, to tide -water lifts been a process of gradual development for the last thirty years. The individual wells were gradually connected by feed pipes to larger trunk lines, which carry the oil to the storage centers, There are twelve pumping stationS along this line, situated about thirty-five miles apart. The pumps operate at a pressure of about 1,000 poands per square inch, and the capacity of the line is about 30,000 barrels a day. The main pipe line is divided into divi- sions and seotions,much like a trunk rail- way systennand has, similarly.its division superintendents and engineers, section foremennine gangs and line nalkers, tele- graph stations and daily reports. The natural gas pipe line is, perhaps, a more simple example of long-distance power transinissions, and bears xnany striking points of resemblance to trans- mission by electricity. In the Indiama gas fields about sixty wells are in opera- tion, having an average daily capacity of about 5,000,000 cubit, feet each. As in the oil fields, so here, the individual wells are connected by. feed pipes to a supply line, which collects the gas and carries it to the pumping station. There large compress- ors, capable of producing and sustaining a pressure of 2,000 pounds per square inch, force the gas into the transmission line to Chicago. The normal pressure carried on this line is 300 pound per square inch, which admits of a daily delivery of from 10,000,- 000 to 12,000,000 cubic feet of gas in Chic- ago,where it is sold at a price much below that of ordinary illuminating gas. A Point in Daily Hygiene. It is not fully appreciated by the public that the article we carry as an everyday and necessary part of our attire may be. come charged with elements of infection. If it were there would be shown muoh more care in the use of handkerchiefs and In their cleansing. Especially should this be the case in families of whom any mem- ber is troubled with a cold or with an in- fluenza. One person with a catarrhal af- fection may impart the trouble to an en- tire household. This fact should make it common practioe to isolate the handker- chiefs of an individual who is affected hy an "influenza."

Some 0..7 ger Shortcomings 11Iirrored. by Ruth Ashmore. You pride yourself on your polite- ness. You count yourself a, well- mannered g,irl and. would.. be very in- dignant. if you were told that you were lacking in. ordinary politeness. When. you are invited out you are careful not only to be prompt but to be consider-, ate of your hostess. What considera- tion do yon show God -when you go to His house? Too often you come in late, seat yourself with a little noise and do not hesitate to turn and twist until you feel that your skirt is arrang- ed exactly right and you are quite com- fortable. Then you give a sigh as you. look at the preacher. He, is one whose sermons you do not admire. SO while he is trying to do his duty you coolly read your prayer -book or hymnal, or look a.round the • congregation., and catching- the eye of a friend, give a. shrug of disgust. When the sermon is over you give vent to a sigh of thank- fulness, and. you never seem to realize that this bad. behaviuor on your part is bad behaviour not only to the clergy- man, but to that Goa whose represen- tative he is. When the collection is taken up you look here and there and, everywhere to see who is depositing a bank note. Be- fore the benediction is said. you crane yourself like a bird with its plumage so that you will be ready to start out the very minute it is ended. do not sup- pose you realize for a moment how - dreadful this is. .How it is giving an opportunity to an unbeliever to say. "What can these Christians think of their God. when they are so irapolite to‘ Him?" Then you do something else. In your church the pews are rented. When you enter you close the door and, give no 'poor sinner an opportunity to sit 'beside you, and yet, in. the sight of God you are all alike, and before Hinz the rich and the poor stand together to be judged. • When Baby was del, we gave her Castorts.
