Washington, March 6.—ThIs discourse
a Dr, Tiatoiege is oue of mighty contrasts
wad the dimness of earthly eyeeight, as
coreparea with the vividness of celestial
eyesight, is illustrated. The text is L
Corinthiansxiii'le "For now we see
through a glass, ditra:13`, but then face to
face.'
The /tibia is the most forceful and
petoscent of breaks. While it has the sweets
teas of a another's bush for human trou-
ble, it has all the keenness of a soimitor
and the erushing power of a lightning
bolt. It portrays with naore than a. paint-
er's power, at one stroke picturing a
heavenly throne and a 3udgment confia-
gration. Tbe stripes of this great harp
are angoreil by all. the splendors of the
future, now sounding with the crackle of
oonsuming worlds, now thrilling with
tbe joy of the everlasting emancipated. It
tells how one forbidden tree In the gar-
den blasted the earth with sickness and
death, and hossr another tree, though
lailess and bare, yea planted on Calvary,
dual yiela a fruit which, sball more then
anticline the pelson of the other. It tells
how the red, ripe clusters of God's wrath
Were brought to the winepress, and Jesus
trod them out, and bow, at last, all the
golden chalices of heaven shall glow with
the wine of that awful vintage. It dazzles
the eye with an Ezekiel's vision of wheel
and w3ng and are anti whirlwind, and
stoops down so low that it can put its
lips to the ear et a dying obild and. say,
"Come up higher."
.A.nd yet Paul, in my text, taltee the
responsibility of saying tbitt it is only an
inclietInet mirror and that its mission
sball he suepentied. I think there may be
one Bible in heaven, fastened to tho
throne. Just as now, in a 'museum, we
leave a lamp exhumed from Herculaneum
or Nineveh, snd we looi . at it with greet
Jeatereeti and say, "How poor a light it
must heve given compared with our moils

which was a lamp to our feet in this
world. may He mew the throne of Gcsl,
exciting our Interest to all eternity by

feeble light and the illumination of hea-
ven. The Bible. now, le theseaffolding to

Finite Vision.
The idea I shall develop to -day is, that
in this world our knowledge is compara-
tively dim and unsatisfactory, Inn never.
thetas is introduetory to grander and
more complete vision. This is eminently
true in regard to our view of Gott We
hear so witch about God that we =elude
that: wo understauti him. Ho isrepreeent-
ed. as having the tenderness of a father,
the iirronees of a jutige, the majesty of a
king and the love of a mother. We hear
about him, talk about him, write about,
him. Wo liep hie name in infancy, and
it trembles on the tomato of the dying
octogenarian. We think that wo know
very much about him. Take the attribute
of mem,. Do we understand it? The
Bible blossoms all over with that word—
mercy. It speaks again and again of the
tender mercies of God; of the Kira mer-
cies; Of the great mercies; of the MOM
tbat endureth forever; of the multitude
of his mercies. And yet I know that the
views we have of this great Being are
most Indefinite, one sided and incomplete.
When, at death, the gates shall fly open
and we shali look directly upon him, how
new and surprising! We see upon canvas
a picture of the morning. We study the
cloud in the sky, the dew upon the grass
and the huebandman on the way to the
field. Beautiful picture of the morning!
But eve rise at daybreak and go up on a
hill to see for ourselves that which was
represented to us. While we look the
mountains are transfigured. The burn-
ished gates of heaven swing open and.
shut, to let past a bost of liery splendors.
The clouds are all abloom, and hang pen-
dent from arbors of alabaster and ame-
thyst. The waters make pathway of in-
laid pearl for the light to vralkupon, and.
tbere is morning on the sea. The crags
uncover their scarred visage, and there is
morning among the mountains. Nowyou
go home and how tame your picture of
the morning seems in contrast! Greater
than that shall be the contrast between
this Scriptural view of God and. that
- which we shall have when standing face
to face. This is a picture of the morning
Abet will be the morning itself.
Christ's Excellence.
' Again, my text is true of the Saviour's
excellency. By image and sweet rhythm
, of expression and. startling antithesis,
Christ is set forth—his love, his compas-
sion, his work, his life, his death, his
resurrection. We axis challeneed to meas.
and thee° garlands bloom, and these
arches of victory remain to greet home
heaven's conquerors, so long 1 sball see
thee, Jesus of ray choice, Jesus of my
song, Jesus of my triumph, forever and
forever, face to face!"
• The Puzzles of oire.
The idea of the time is just as true
when applied to God's providena. Who
has not come to sense pass in life thor-
oughly inexplicable? You say: "What
does this mean.? What is God going to do
with me now Ile tells me tiaatall things
work together for good. This does not
look like it" Yon continue to study the
dispensation and after awhileguess about
what Clod means. "He means to teach
ente tbls. I think be meant to teach me
that. Perhaps it is to humble any pride.
Perhaps it is to make me feel MOM de•
pendent. Perhaps to teacla me the uncer-
tainty of life." But after all it m only a
guess—a looking through the glass, dark-
ly. The Bible assures us there shall be a
satisfaetory unfolding. "What I do thou
knowest not now, but thou shalt know
hereafter." You will know why God took
to himself that only child. Next door
there was a household of seven children.
Why not take one from that group in-
stead of your only one? Why single out
the dweilhag in which there was only one
heart beating responsive to yours? Why
did God give you a child at all if he
meant to take it away? Why fill the eup
of your gladness brimming 0 he meant
to dash it down? Why allow all the ten-
drils of your heed to wiled around that
object and then, when every fiber of your
own life seeneed to be interlocked with
the eltiWs life, with stroug hand to tear
you apart, uutil you fall, bleeding and
crushed. your dwelling doeolete, you
hopes blasted, your beert broken? Do you
suppose that God will explaiu that? Ten.
He will make it pleiner than any mathe-
matical problem—as plain as that tsvo
ure It, to compute it, to weig% it. I;;i;
hour of our broken enthrallment we
mount up •into high experience* of his
love, and shout until the countenance
glows, and the blood bounds, and the
whole nature is exhilarated, "I have
found him!" And yet it is through a
glass, darkly. We see not half of that
compassionate face. We feel not half the
'warmth of teat loving heart. We wait for
death to let us rush into his outspread
arms. Then we shall be face to face. Not
shadow then, but substance. Nee hope
then, but the fulfilling of all prefigure-
ment. That will be a magnificent unfold-
ing. Tbe rushing out in view of all hid-
den excellency, the coming again of a
long absent Jesus, to meet us, not in
rags and in penury and, death, but %midst
a light and' pomp and outbursting joy
ouch as none but a glorified intelligence
could experience. Oh, to gaze full upon
the brow that was laaerated, -upon the
side that was pierced, upon the feet) that
were amiled; to stand close up in the
presence of him who;prayed for us on the
mountain, and thought of us ,by the sea,
and agonized for us in the garden, and

happiness, but what do we know about
happiness? Happiness in this world is
only a hull fledged thing—a flowery path,

of exhilaration, followed by disaetrous

of limiest, the Bible takes ns to a river.

"It Is all right."
Mysteries of Providene.e.
I see, every day, profound mysteries of
Providence. There is no question we ask
oftener than Why? There are huntlrede of
graves in Oak Hill and Greenwood and
Lauve111111 that net to be explained.
Hospitals for the blind and lame. aseltuns
for the idiotic and imam, almshouses for
the destitute and a -world of pain and
misfortune that demand more than hu-
man solution. Ab, Gull will clear it all
up. In tho light that pours from the
throne, no dark mystery can live. Things
now utterly inserotable will be illumined
as plainly as though the answer were
written on the jasper wall or sounded in
the temple anthem. Bartimeus will thank
God that he was blind, and Lazarus that
he was covered with sores, and Joseph
that he was cast into the pit, and Daniel
that he donned with lions, and Pahl that
he was humpbaolted, and David that he
was driven from Jerusalem, and. that
sewing woman that she could get only a
few pence for making a garment, and
that invalid that for 20 years he could
not lift his head from the pillow, and
that widow that she had such hard work
to eaers bread for her children. You
know that in a song different voices carry
different parts. The sweet and over-
whenning part of the halleluiah of heaven
will not be carried by those who rode in
high places and gave sumptuous enter-
tainments, but pauper children will sing
it beggars will sing it, redeemed hod.
carriers will sing it, those who were otu•e
the offsoouring of earth will sing it. The
halleluiah will be all the grander for
earth's weeping eyes and aching heads
and exhausted hands and scourged backs
and martyred agonies.
Again, the thought of the text is just
when applied to the enjoyments of the
righteous in heaven. I think WO have but
little idea of the =tether of the righteous
in heaven. Infidels say, "our beaven
*ill be a very small place eompared with
the world of the lost; for, according to
your teaching, the majority of men will
be destroyed." I deny the oharge. 1 sup -
peso tbat the multitude of thefinally lost,
xis compared with the inultitude of the
finally saved, will be a handful. Isuppose
that the few- sick people in the hospital
to -day, as compared with the hundreds of
thousands of well people in the city,
would not be smaller than the number of
those who shall be past out in saffering,
compared with 'those who shall have upon
them the healtheof heaven. Foresee are to
remeMber that we aro living in compara-
tively the beginning of the Christian
dispensation and that this world is to lea
populated and redeemed and that ages of
light and love are to flow on. II this be
so, themultitudes of She saved will be in
vast majority. •

- The Grupe Cure.
A. celebrated physician divides fruit
into five classes, each possessing a spepial
curative value—the acid, the sweetathe
astringent, the oily and the mealy.
Cherries, strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries, peaches, apples, lemons and
oranges belong to the acid fruits and have
great merit Cherries, however, are pro-
hibited to those who have neuralgia of
the stomach; strawberries and raspberries
are recommended to those of bilious tem-
peraments and denied to those in whom
diabetes is suspeoted.
Of the sweet fruits the doctor says
plums prevent gent and articular rheu-
matism. The grape is given the very first
place. Eal is an entlausiaselo advaate of
what is known in Europe as the grape
eerie which provides that for several days
the patient eats nothing but grapes, con-
suming frora one to two pounds daily,
with a gradual increase to ten pounds.
After a few days of this diet the appetite
improves and an increased capacity to
endure•fatigoe is noticed. The grape euro
is eepecially suited to. persons who are
anaende, rheumatic, dyspeptic or con-
sumptive.

To Make Labels Adhere on Tin.
Labels will adhere perfectly to tin no
matter what paste is used if you wipe the
entire surface of the tin with merely a sus-
picion of hydrochloric acid. The reason
vrhy is that all tin is dressed in oii and
hydrochloric acid removes that.

Peanut 011,
The production of peanut oil in this
country has hitherto been carried on in a
desultory way, and it has not been much
known as a commerelaiartiele. However,
as the chemical composition of the
peanut has become better known atten-
tion has been dam to the food. value of
the peanut meal and the peanut grits. It
has been found that they are richer in
nitrogenous principles than any of the
vegetable seed cakes, and a demand has
sprung up for them. So the expression of
the oil has now been undertaken on a
larger settle and with more suitably de-
signed presses. The cold pressed oil is of
a pale yellow color and of pleasant flavor
and odor. A very slight refining produces
a very agreeable table oil for salads and
general culinary purposes. 'When once
freed from the free arid found in the raw
state, it does not tend to become rancid
as readily as olive oil.

Bearding the Lion.
The proprietor of a menagerie issued a
placard offering £20 to any one who
.vcrould enter the cage of the lion. Toward
the end of the performance a peasant
walked up to the lion tamer and said,
"Sir, I have wine to earn the a20."
(General horror.) The lion tamer re-
plied with a derisive sheer, "So youwant
to go into the lion's cage?"
"Of course," said the peasant.
