those islaudy regions is the desire of all
intelligent Aniericane. Awake all you
sehools and colleges and universitiee and
printing presees to our opportunity:
Open the neer for Christianity.
Still further, here is a wide-open door
for Chrletinity. First; of all, we have the
attention of those peeple. The heathen
nations are for the most pare soporific'.
The American missionaries heretofore
bad great difficulty in getting heathen-
dom to listen. They excited some com-
ment by their attire, so different was the
eyeing of the hair, and the shape of the
at, and the cut of the coat, and the
formation of the shoe ot the evangellzers,
but the question eonstootly arose in re-
gard to the missionery: "Who is he?"
"What is he here for?" And then the
interrogator would relax into the previ-
ous stupid indifference. But that condi-
tion of things has passed. The guns of
oureAmerican navy have awakened those
populations. They do not ask who we
are. They have found out. They are now
listening to rhat American civilization
and our Christian religion have to say on
any subject. Now is the time, while their
ears and oyes are wide open, to tell them
of the rescuing and salvable and inspirit-
ing power of the gospel of 'Jesus Christ,
the Saviour of the world.
A livlendid Opportunity.
Now, church of God, now all Christian
philanthropists' is your opportuniey.
Nothing like ithas occurred since Christ
came. Perbape there may be nothing like
it till his seoond ooming. Here is a
definiteness of aim that is most helpful
and inspiring. The millions of dollars
given for the redemption of the world
and the thousands of glorious mission-
aries who have as volunteers gone forth
among barbaric nations, were given and
enlisted under a great and immeasurable
idea. But when they come to add to the
traat end immeasurable idea the idea of
definiteness we will infinitely augment
the work. More than 800,000,000 of hea-
then in India, more than 300,000,000 of
people in Caine, and more millions
of heathen than can be guessed outside
of those countries. sometimes stagger and
confound and defeat our faith. But here
in these islands of present controversy
'We can faun out the work among the
churches, and in five years, under the
blessing of God, not only fit the people
for the right of suffrage, but prepare
them for usefulness and heaven. The
difference between the general idea of the
world's evangelization and some particu-
larized field of evangelization is the differ-

that thne this country will be as superior
to what it now is as to -day Washington

and Sanitago. Do yon see by this process
of gospelized intelligence those archipela-
goes will as a nation be proteoted from
the two woes prophesied in regard to this
country, the one woe prophesied by the
expansionists and the other woe prophe-
sied by the anti -expansionists? It is said
by those who would have us take all we
can lay our hands on as a nation that
unless we enter the door now open for
the enlargement of our national domaia
we will decline the mission which God
in his providence has assigned us. But
surely no woe will come upon us or
upon them if we Christianize them, as
we now have the opportunity of doing.
The political tech»iealities are nothing
as compared with the importance of this
movement. 1 implore all political expan-
sionists to augment us in this wor]z of
moral and religious expansion, for unless
those islands are moralized and elevated
in intelligence and habits we do not want
them, and their annexation would be
political damnation. On the other hand,
I implore all anti -expansionists to take a
band in the gospelleation of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands. The
only way to prepare them to take care of
themselves is to give them the Ten Com-
mandments that were published on
Morino Sinai and let them bear the groan
of sacrifice that was breathed out on the
heights of Golgotha. What they most
\Vitals the gospel', the pure gospel, the
omnipotent gospel, the gospel that helps
beal the wounds of the body, and irradi-
cams the darkness of the mind and
achieves the ransom of the soul.
COtaglItiSt of Nations.
But on this platform the so-called ex-
pansionists and so-called anti -expansion-
ists will yet stand side by side, Though
I am not a prophet or the son of a
prophet, within five years, if this religio-
educational work is properly attended to,
there will be a Cuban republic, a Porto
Rican republic and a Philippine repub-
lics, none of Vieth on a large scale, but
they will all have their schools and print-
ing presses and evangelical churches,
their presidents, their senates and houses
of representatives, their mayors and their,
constabularies, and as good order will be
observed in their cities as now reigns on
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, or
Broadway, New York.
Christ has started for the conquest of
the nations and nothing on earth or in
hell oan ;top it. The continents' are
rapidly rolling into is dominion, and
wby not these islands, which for the
most part are only fragtnents broken off
from continents, the interval lands hav-
ing been sunk by earthquakes, allowing
the ocean to take mastery over them?
Eash mother continent has aronnd it a

In the old book, which has become a
new boo a by autism ef modern discover-,
tea especial attention is called to the
islands. "Declare tbe lama's praise in the
islands." commands Isaiah. "Lee the
multituden et the islands be glad tbere-
of," says the Psalmist. ".All tbe island
of the beathen shall worship bint,"
writes Zephaniab. "He shall turn hls
face to the islands," prophesies Daniel,
"The inhabitants of the tiles shall be
astonished at thee," foretells Ezekiel.
"Hear it and declare it to the islands
afar oa," exclaims Jeremieb. You see
from this the islands are not to be neg-
lected. Perhaps they are the Lord's fay.,
()rites, as in households if there is any
favoritism at all it is for the weakest.
The islands too small to take care of

that which David wrote many hundred
years ago upon parchment, The way of
the wicked be turneth upside down."
We concluded a few days ago the an-
nual decoration of northern and. southern
graves. Three years ago, at this season,
in memorial sermon I proposed the twist-
ing of two garlands, one to be put upon
the grave of the northern soldier and the
other to be put on the grave of the
southern soldier, but this year we need
three garlands, the third to be put upon
the graves of those who fell in this
Araerico-Hispanio conflict. The third
garland needs to be quite as fragrant and
as radiant as the other two. Tbese last
heroes braved more than bayonets and
bombshell; they braved the pestiferous
breath of the tropics, whole battalions,
whole regiments, whole brigades, whole
armies of deathful malaria. They con-
fronted those oppositions of the torrid
climes which no sword OEM pierce, no
agility climb, no stratagem flank, no tor-
pedo explode, no courage conquer. 'Under
the awful charge of visible and invisible
hosts about 6,000 men went down, some
to instant death and others through
lingering pangs in hospital.
If in this third wreath you twist the
crimson rose, suggestive of sanguinary
sacrifice, and the white calla lily. sugges-
tive of glorious resurrection, put in also
a few forgetmenots, suggestive of remem-
brance, and a few passion flowers, sug-
gestive of the love that mourns the slain,
and a few heliotropes, suggestive of the
fragrance of their memory. Then let the
night's dew put the tears into the blue
eyes of the violets and all the soldiers'
cemeteries be so many censers burning
incense before the throne of that God who
has been the friend of this nation from
the time of Lexington to the time of San
Juan hill, from the guns of the United
States warships Constitution and Con-
stellation, at the beginning of the cen-
tury, to the guns of the United States
warships Olympia, 'Oregon, Brooklyn and
other loaded thunders, at the close of this
oentury.
Remember here and now that those
brave boys opened up the way for a kind
of expansion we all believe in. They
swung open the gates for the speedy
gospelization of islands stupid with the
superstitition of ages. They cleared the
way for missionaries and Bibles. They
set those islands free. Leaving to the
United States governinent to decide what
shall be the political destiny of those peo-
ple% let us all join in a campaign of
religious expansionexpansion of affec-
tion that can take all the world in, ex -
pension of our theologies until none shall

an old friend and neighbor of Sir John

Now, Will You lie Good?
The average man is a hypocrite in his
relations with his wife, because his wife
forces him to be. His wife has a lot of
foolish notions about nem, and the bus -
band, in his early enthusiasm, tries to
live up to them. Be cannot do it and
becomes a sneaking hypocrite. After he
is charged with being a sneaking hypo-
crite a few times and convicted he becomes
surly, and trouble results. A wife who
expects a lot of foolish things of her bus
band is simply putting out a trap in whioh
be will surely be caught, and after he has
been caught he will be found an ugly cus-
tomer. If a woman will treat her hus-
band intelligently and fairly, she will find
him a good fellow, and he will be of great
assistance to her.—Atchison Globe.

A CREMATION IN SIAM.

It there is any time when the Siamese
may be said to hold tenets 10 15 at a tit ta-
ble cremation. Ordinarily the dead' se
Siam are buried at a ghat, common to
who cannot afford tbe considerableex-
pense of a private conflagration, and vixen
the wood of the funeral pyre has been con-
sumeui the body Is well roasted and the ate
tendant vultures are given a chance to
clean the bones. Those et ho can afford it
build the funeral pyre within their egi•
vate wells, where festivities are bold tinn-
ing the burning and invitations issued to
friends that they come and behold the
'honor paid their dead. The bodies ot Gioia
intended for private cremation are tan.
balmed and smelly kept for SOTOtt time --
often many months.
One Siamese gentlemen'when inviting
rae to the proposed cremation of bis broth -
en, informed xne tbut the distinguiebed
deceased had been awaiting combustion
for a year. The extent and charaeter of
the festivities on such an occasion depend
entirely on the length of puree a the de-
oeased's remaining relatives.
On the afteruoon or evening of the hp -
pointed day the guests assemble and 'wit-
ness the simple ceremony of tbe yellow

the nearest Inalo releases fires the pyre,
and then, while the flames crackle and the
late lamented hisses and pops like a, green
pippin on a spit, his grieving fatuity end
friends grow merry over the cakes arid
sweetmeats and wines, while men hated
for the occasion perform at several gamete
and even on rare occasions do some little
running and jumping. The game nearest

Ile Defined the Word.
A. correspondent of the New 'York
Times, referring to a diecussion on the
merits or demerits of the word "trans-
mogrified," says a characteristic anecdote
concerning the late Rev. Dr. Coxe, father
of the late Bishop Coxe of western NOW
York, may be a interest. The writeres
good friend, the late Rev. Dr. John Ire-
land Tucker of Troy, an old Brooklyn
man, told him that be was °nee present
at a funeral in Brooklyn where Dr. Coxe,
although a Presbyterian, used the Episco-
pal burial service. After reading the
words "we shall not all sleep, but we sball
all be changed" the doctor looked up in
evident doubt as to whether his beavers
unaerstood the sense of that great phrase.
After a pause he said, "Transformed, roy
brethren," and then, still evidently In
doubt, be added, with. great solemnity,
"Transmogrified."
