"BEEK HIM THAT MAKETH THE
SEVEN STARS AND ORION."
He, Was a the Son of a Poor Shepherd and
Stammered, but Iter. Dr. Talmage Shows
How Amos tirade the Hosts Tremble—A
Sermon to Make Hen Think.
Washington, Jan. 31.—This sermon
of Dr. 'Talmage, looking at the midnight
heavens through the eyes of one of the
ancients, is unique for practicality and
must set all to useful thinking. His
text is Amos v, 8, "Seek him that
maketh the seven star's and Orion."
A. country fanner wrote this text,
Amos of Tekoa. Re plowed the earth
and thrashed t'he grain by a new thrash-
ing machine just invented, as for•Inerly
the cattle trod out the grain. He gathered
the fruit of the sycamore tree and scari-
fied it with an iron comb just before it
was getting ripe, as it was necessary and
oustomaay in that way to take from it
the bitterness. He was the son of a poor
shepherd and stuttered, but just before
the stammering rustic the Philistines
and Syrians and Phoenicans and Moab-
ites and Ammonites and Edmonites and
Israelites trembled.
Moses was a law giver, Daniel was a
prince, -Isaiah a courtier and David a
king, but Amos, the author of my text,
was a peasant, and, as might be sup-
posed, nearly all his parallelisms, are pas-
toral, his propheoy frill of the odor of
new mown hay, and the rattle of locusts,
and the rumble of carts with sheaves,
and the roar of wild beasts devouring the
flock while the shepherd came out in
their defense. He watched the herds by
day and by night inhabited a booth made
out of bushes, so that through these
branches he could see the stars all night
long, and was more familiar with them
than we who have tight roofs to our
houses and hardly ever see the stars
except among the tall brick chimneys of
the great towns. But at seasons of the
year when the herds were in special dan-
ger he would stay out in the open field
all through the darkness, his only shelter
the curtain of the night heaven, with the
stellar embroideries and silvered tassels
of lunar light.
What a life of solitude, all alone with.
his herds! Poor Amos! And at 12 o'clock
at night hark to the wolf's bark, and
the lion's roar, and the bear's growl,
and the owl's to -whit to -who, and the
serpent's hiss as he unwittingly steps too
near while moving through the thickets!
So Amos, like other herdsmen, got the
habit of studying the map of the heavens
because it was so much of the time
tweed out before him. He noticed some
stars advancing and others receding. He
associated their dawn with certain sea-
sons of the year. He had a poetic nature,
and he read night by night, and month
by month, and year by year, the poem of
the constellations, divinely rhythmic.
But two rosettes of stars especially at-
tracted his attention while seated on the
ground or lying on his back under the
open scroll of the midnight heavens—
the Pleiades, or seven stars, and Orion.
The former group this rustic prophet
associated with spring, ars it rises about
the 1st of May. The latter he associated
with the winter, as it comes to the meri-
dian in January. The Pleiades, or seven
eters, connected with all sweetness and
joy; Orion, the herald of the tempest.
The ancients were the more apt to study
the physiognomy and juxtaposition of
the heavenly bodies because they thought
they had a special influence upon the
earth, and perhaps they were right. If
the moon every few hours lifts and lets
down the tides of the Atlantic ocean and
the electric storms in the sun, by all
scientific admission, affect the earth, why
not the stars have proportionate effect?
And there are some things which make
me think that it may not have been all
superstition which connected the move-
ments and appearance of the heavenly
'bodies with great moral events on earth.
Did not a meteor run on evangelistic
errand on the, first Christmas night and
designate the rough cradle of our Lord?
Did not the stars in their course fight
against Sisera? Was it merely coinci-
dental that before the destruction of
Jerusalem the moon was hidden for 12
consecutive nights? Did it inerely happen
so that a new star appeared in constella-
tion Cassiopeia, and then disappeared
just before Charles IX of France, who
was responsible for the St. Bartholomew
massacre, died? Was it without signifi-
cance that in the days of the Roman
Emperor Justinian war and famine were
preceded by the dimness of the sun,'
which for nearly a year gave no more
light than the moon, although there
were no clouds to obscure it?
Astrology, after all, may have been
something more than a brilliant heathen-
ism. No wonder that Amos of the text,
haying heard these two anthems of the
stars, put down the stout, rough staff of
the herds man and took into his brown
hand and cut and knotted fingers the
pen of a prophet and advised the recreant
people of his time to return to God, say-
ing, "Seek him that maketh the seven
stars and Orion." This command, which
Amos gave 785 years B. C., is just as al?
propriate for us, 1897 A. D.
In the first place, Amos saw, as we
must see, that- the God who made the
Pleiades and Orion must be the God of
order. It was not so much a star here
and a star there that impressed the in-
epired herdsman, but seven in one group
and seven in the other group. He saw
that night after night and season after
season and decade after decade that they
had kept step of light, each one in his
• own place, a sisterhood never clashing
and never contesting precedence. From
the time Hesiod called the Pleiades the
"seven daughters of Atlas" and Virgil
wrote in his „ Aenerd„ "stormy
stormy
Orion” until now, they have observed
the order established for their coining
and going; order written not in menu-
' script that may be pigeonholed, but with
the hand of the Almighty on the dome
of the sky, so that all nations may read
it -order, persistent taller, sublime order,
omnipotent order.
What a sedative to you and me, to
whom communities and nations some-
times seem going pellmell, and the world
ruled by some fiend at .haphazard, and
in all directions maladministration! The
God who keeps seven worlds in right 'cir-
cuit for 6,000 years can certainly keep all
the affairs of individuals and nations
and continents in adjustment. We had
not better fret much, for the peasant's
argument of the text was right. if Gocl
can take care of the seven worlds of the
Pleiades and ,the four chief worlds of
Orion,
he can
probably take care of the
one world we inhabit: ' ' I
So I feel very much as my father felt
one day when we were going,to the coun-
try mill to get a grist; ground, and I, i►
boy of 7 years, sat In the back part of the
wagon, and our yoke of oxen ran away
with us, and along a labyrinthine road
through the woods, so that I thought
,every moment we would be dashed to
pieces, and I made a terrible outcry of
fright, and my father turned to me with
a face perfectly calm and sniff:. De
Witt, what are you crying about? I
guess we can ride as fast as the oxen can
run." And, my hearers, why should we
be affrighted and lose our equilibrium in
the swift movements of worldly events,
especially when we are assured that it is
not a yoke of unbroken steers that. are
drawing us on, but that order and wise!
government are in the yoke?
In your occupation, your mission, your
sphere, do the best you can and then!
trust to God, and if things aro all mixed f
and disquieting and your brain is hot
and your heart sick get some one to go
out with you into the starlight and point
out to you the Pleiades, or, better than
that, get into some observatory, and
through the telescope see farther than)
Amos with the naked eye could—name-
ly, 200 stars in the Pleiades, and that in l
what is called the sword of Orion there
is a nebula computed to be two trillion
two hundred thousand billion of times
larger than the sun. Oh, be at peace with!
the God who made that and controls all
that,the wheel of the constellations turn-
ing in the wheel of galaxies for thous-
ands of years without the breaking of a
cog, or the slipping of a band, or the
span of an axle. For your placidity and
comfort through the Lord Jesus Christ I
charge you, "Seek him that maketh the
seven stars and Orion."
Again, Amos saw, as we must see,
that the God who made these two groups
of the text was the God of light. Amos
saw that God was not satisfied with mak-
ing one star or two or three stars, but he
makes seven, and, having finished that
group of worlds' makes another group—
group after group. To the Pleiades he
adds Orion. It seeins that God likes
light so well that he keeps making it.
Only one being In the universe knows
the statistics of solar, lunar, stellar, me-
teoric creations, and that is the Creator
himself. And they havo all been lovingly
christened, each one a name as distinct
as the names of your children. "He tell-
eth the number of the stars, He calleth
them all by their, names." The seven
Pleiades bad names given to them, and
they are Alcyone, Metope, Celaeno, Elec-
tra, Sterope, Taygete and Maia.
But think of the billions and trillions
of daughters of staury light that God
calls by name as they sweep by him with
beaming brow and lustrous robe! So
fond is God of light—natural light,
moral light, spiritual light! Again and
again is light harnessed for symbolization
—Christ, the bright and morning star;
evangelization, the daybreak; the re-
demption of nations, san of righteousness
rising with healing in his wings. Oh,
men and women, with so many sorrows
and sins and perplexities, if you want
light and comfort, light of pardon, light
of goodness, in earnest prayer through
Christ, "Seek him that maketh the seven
stars and Orion."
Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that
the God who made these two archipelagoes
of stars must be an unchanging God.
There had been no change in the stellar
appearance in this herdsman's lifetime,
and his father, a shepherd, reported to
him that there had been no change in his
lifetime. And these two clusters hang
over the celestial arbor now just as they
were the first night that they shone on
the Edenic bowers; the same as when
to Egyptians built the pyramids from the
top of whioh to watch them; the same as
when the Chaide ns calculated the eclip-
ses; the same as when Elihu, according
to the book of Job, went out to study
the aurora borealis; the same under
Ptolemaic system and Copernican system;
the same from Calisthenes to Pythagoras
and from Pythagoras to Herschel. Surely
a changeless God must have fashioned
the Pleiades and Orion! Oh, what an
anodyne amid the ups and downs of life
and the flux and reflux of the tides of
prosperity to know that we have a
changeless God, "the same yesterday, to-
day and forever!"
Xerxes garlanded and knighted the
steersman of his boat in the morning
and hanged him in. the evening of the
same day. Fifty thousand people, stood
around the columns of the national cap-
itol shouting themselves hoarse at the
presidential inaugural, and in four
months so great were the antipathies that
a ruffian's pistol in a Washington depot
expressed the sentiment of many a dis-
appointed office seeker. The world sits
in its chariot and drives tandem, and the
horse ahead is Mazza, and the horse be-
hind is Anathema. Lord Cobham, in
Bing James' thne, was applauded and
had $35,000 a year, but was afterward
execrated and lived on scraps stolen from
the royal kitchen. Alexander the Great
after death remained unburied for 30 days
because no one would do the honor of
shoveling him under. Tho Duke of Well-
ington refused to have his iron fence
mended because it bad been broken by
an infuriated populace in some hour of
political excitement, and he left it in
ruins that men might learn what a fickle
thing is lnunan favor. "But the mercy
of the Lord is from everlasting to ever-
lasting to them that fear him, and his
righteousness unto the children's children
of such as keep his covenant, and to
those who remember his commandments
to do them." This moment "seek him
that maketh the seven stars and Orlon."
Again, Amos saw, as we must see,
that the God who made these two bea-
cons of the oriental night sky must be a
God of love and kindly warning. The
Pleiades rising in midsky said to all the
herdsmen and shepherds and husband -
men, "Come out and enjoy the mild
weather and cultivate your gardens and
fields." Orion, coming in winter, warned
them to prepare for. tempest. All naviga-
tion was regulated by these two con-
stellations. The one said to shipmaster
and crew, "Hoist sail for . the sea and
gather merchandise from other lands."
But Orion was the storm signal and said,
"Reef sail, make things snug or put
into harbor, for the ]nerricanes are get-
ting their wings out." As the Pleiades
were the sweet evangels of the spring,
Orion was the warning prophet of the
winter.
Oh, now I get the best view of God I
ever had l There aro two sermons I never
want to preach—the 'one that presents
God so kind, so indulgent, so lenient, so
imbecile that men may do what they
will against hint, and fracture his every
law, and put the pry of their impertin-
enceand rebellion ll'
ebe ion under his throne, and
while they are spitting in . his ;face and
stabbing at his heart he takes . them up
rn his. arms and kisses 'their infuriated
"
bio andw cheek, saying, Of such is the
cingdom of heaven." The other kind of
sermon• I never want to preach is the one
that represents God as'all afire and for
pitchfork tossing the human race into
paroxysms of infinite agony. The sermon
that I am now prettehing believes in a
God of, loving, kindly warning, the God.
of spring and winter, the God of the
Pleiades and Orion.
You must remember that the winter is
just as important as the spring.' Let one
winter pass without frost to kill vegeta-
tion and ice to bind the rivers and snow
to enrich our fields, and then you wi
have to enlarge your hospitals and yo
cemeteries. "A green 'Chr'istmas mak
a fat graveyard," was the old prover.
Storms to purify the air. Thermomet

important as May and June. I tell you w
need the storms of life as much as we dn
the sunshine. There are More men rai

and puffed up until we would have bee
like Julius Caesar, who was made b
sycophants to believe that he was divin
and the freckles on his face were said
be as the stars of the firmament.
One of the swiftest transatlantic voy
ages made one summer by the Etruri
was because she had a stormy 'win
abaft, chasing her from New York
Liverpool. But to those going in the op
posite direction the storm was a buffe
ing and a hindrance. It is a bad thing t
havo a storm ahead, pushing us back
but if we be God's children and aimin
toward heaven the storms of life will onl
chase us the sooner into the harbor.
am so glad to believe that the monsoon
typhoons and mistrals and siroccos o
the land and sea are not unchained man
acs let loose upon the earth, but as
under divine supervision! I am so gin
that the God of the seven stars is ars
the God of Orion! It was out of Dante'
suffering cane the sublime "Divine Com
media," and out of John Milton'
blindness r ass cam
e Paradise Lost," Los , and ou
of miserable infidel attack came th
"Bridgewater Treatise" in favor of Chris
tianity, and out of David's exile cam
the songs of consolation, and out of th
sufferings of Christ came the possibilit
of the world's redemption, and out o
your bereavement, your persecution, your
poverties, your misfortunes, may ye
come an eternal heaven.
Oh, what a mercy it is that in th
text and all up and down the Bible God
induces us to look out toward othe
worlds! Bible astronomy in Genesis, i
Joshua, in Job, in the Psalms, in th
prophets, major and minor; in St. John'
Apocalypse, practically saying: "Worlds
Worlds! Worlds! Get ready for them!'
We have a nice little world here that w
stick to, es though losing that we los
all. We are afraid of falling off this littl
raft of a world. Wo are afraid that som
meteoric iconoclast will seine nigh
smash it, and we want everything to
revolve around it and are disappointe
when we find that it revolves around th
sun instead of the sun revolving aroun
it. What a fuss we make about this littl
bit of a world, it:, existence only a shor
time between two spasms, the paroxysm
by which it was hurled from choas int
order and the paroxysmic)! its demolition
And 1 am glad that so many text
call us to look off to other worlds, man
of than larger and grander and more re
splendeut. "Look there," says Job, "a
Mazaroth and Arcturus and his sons!'
"Look there," says St. John, "at th
moon under Christ's feet 1' "Look there,'
says Joshua, "at the sun standing stil
above Gibeon!" "Look there," say
Moses," at the sparkling firmament!'
"Look there," says Amos, the herdsman
"at the seven stars and Orion!" Do no
let us be so sad about those who shov
off from this world under Christly pilo
age. Do not let us be so agitated abou
our own going off this little barge o
sloop or canalboat of a world to get on
some Great Eastern of the heavens. D
not let us persist in wanting to stay i
this barn, this shed, this outhouse of
world, when all the King's palaces al
ready occupied by many of our lies
friends are swinging wide open their
gates to let us in.
When I read, "In my father's house
are many mansions," I do not know hu
that each world is a room, and as many
rooms as there are worlds, stellar stairs
teller galleries, stellar hallways, stella
dows, stellar domes. How our de
arted friends must pity us shut up in
hese cramped apartments, tired if we
walk 15 miles, when they some morning,
by one stroke of wing, can make circuit
of the whole stellar system and be back
in time for matins! Perhaps yonder
twinkling constellation is the residence
of martyrs; that group of 12 luminaries
may be the celestial hone of the apostles.
Perhaps that steep of light is the dwell-
ing place of angels cherubic, seraphic,
rchangelic. A mansion with as many
rooms as worlds, and all their windows
'laminated for festivity!
Ob, how this widens and lifts and
stimulates our expectation! How little it
makes the present, and how stupendous
it makes the future! How it consoles us
about our pious dead, that, instead of
being boxed up and under the ground,
ave the range of as many rooms as there
are worlds and welcome everywhere, for
t is the Father's house, in swhich there
are many mansions! 0 Lord God of the
even stars and Orion, how can I endure
the transport, the ecstasy, of such a
Won? I must obey my text and seek
im. I will seek him. I seek him now,
for I call to mind that it is not the ma-
ria] universe that is most valuable, but
he spiritual and that each of us has a
oul worth more than all the worlds
which the inspired herdsman saw from
is booth un the hills of Tekoa.

myself, "There Is a soul worth more

One of the Kaiser's Boasts.
One boast the German is never weary
bf making in regard to his government
as compared with that of the United
States—namely, that the officials of the
fatherland are distinguished, if not for
enterprise, at least for honesty. The late
Chancellor• Bismarck had no sooner got
his imperial machinery in running order,
25 years ago, than he introduced as part
of his government one of the most odious
features of Russia—namely, the secret
political police. He set aside large sums
of money with which to pay informers,
spies and a class of wretches, unknown
in America, called agent provocateurs.
The business of these last gentlemen was
to organize disturbauces among socialists
in order that the government might have
an excuse for making arrests of such as
the great prime minister was pleased to
call "enemies of the empire," or such as
we would call enemies to the Bismarck -
Jan policy.
The fruit which this tree has borne Is
very bitter. A recent trial in Berlin dis-
closed the painful fust
that this secret
et
police, intrusted with the most delicate
of all political tasks, , has been using its
powers for the purpose of advancing the
interests of a court clique as opposed to
the constitutional government of the
country. Bribery, forgery, perjury, have
been used in the hopes of damaging
Baron Marschall, who is head of the
German foreign office and a man wholly
above the vulgar intrigues that flourish
in the atmosphere of a court. But per-
haps the saddest feature in the case is
the side light it throws upon the German
press. Our own papers are not models
of purity, but it would be difficult to
name a New York paper capable of doing
such dirty work as is expected of so
called official and semi-official papers in
the land of Schiller and Goethe. When
we in America read that the German
press attaoks this man or praises that
one, it does not mean that the editors
of these different papers have reached an
independent opinion in regard to their
relative merits, but it too frequently does
mean that they have been instructed by
the political police, or some other organ
of state, that they must say this, that or
the other.—Harper's Weekly.
Neta Uses for the Kite.
Some very notable advances have been
made in the science of kite flying during
the past year. The great utility of the
kite for milittuy purposes has been con-
clusively proved. In the line of signaling
especially the kite has shown its adapta-
bility even more than the captive balloon.
The recent feat at Bayonne, N. J., of
carrying a telephone wire through the
air on a kite string and dropping it to
the earth 1,000 feet away from where the
kite was anchored, so that signals could
be transmitted back and forth, Is another
distinct advance in the science. Its prac-
tical utility is great, and could a man
have been in the rear of General Grant
at Vicksburg, for instance, with such a
device, he would have been able to ex-
change messages with the Confederates
pent up in the city. It could be accom-
plished at any siege, in feet, and in the
nighttime, when its presence would not
be known to an enemy.
However, the advances of the past year
have been in a meastue conclusive, and
the next development will.be in the line
of midnight air photography. By this is
meant the taking of pictures in cameras
suspended from the kite string at night.
Large city districts have been accurately
photographed by means of kites during
the daytime, but no midair kite photo-
graphs have been taken at night. Experi-
ments are making in this direction, and
very satisfactory and useful results will
ultimately be reached. With a highly
sensitive plate manipulated in midair
objects on the earth below may perhaps
be photographed which could not be dis-
tinguished by the human eye. If this
condition actually exists, midnight photo-
graphy will have a wide military appli-
cation. Fortifications and hostile camps
could be accurately pictured and the con-
dition of an enemy become known to a
general whose foe need not know he was
in the neighborhood. The idea would be
useful also in time of peace in photo;
graphing large assemblages, celebrations,
multitudes of people or exhibitions.—

The .Emnezrlements of 1866.
According to the remarkable compila-
tions prepared and ' published by the
Chicago Tribune, the sums represented by
embezzlements, defalcations, forgeries and
bank wrecking of the past year in the
United States amounted to $9,465,921, an
average of about $788,826 per month.
The losses inflicted in this way upon the
confidence of the public were not as great
as they were in 1895 and fall far below
the figures of 1894, $25,234,112, when
these forms of rascality wrought most
destructively in the history of the coun-
try. The nearest approach to the record of
1894 was that of 1884, when the public
was victimized to the extent of V2,154,-
0000. The $ tines relating to the
g opera-
tions of embezzlers, forgers, etc., vary of
course greatly from year to year, so that
it is difficult to determine from a record
of this characterwhether the world is
growing better or worse. The record by
states show that New York occupies first
place, with New Hampshire second and
Pennsylvania a close third. The losses
are distributed as follows: Stolen from
banks, $3,996,570; by city and county
officials, $1,398,975; by agents, $1,045,-
000; by forgeries, $841,500; from loan
associations, $479,587; miscellaneous
stealings, $2,200,000.—Philadelphia Led-
ger.
