Washington, Nov. 19. --In this die -

Christian workers and describes
what he thinks will be the modes
of preaching the gospel in the future;

La. ua wait on our ministeging."
While I was sated on the piazza
41111 a hotel at Lexington, Icy., one
summer evening, a gentleman asked
in., "What do you think of the
commit sermon ?" supposed he wax
making me la regard to some new
discourse of Dr- Cumming of London,
who aometimee preachedstartling
esrMosis, Mud I replied, "e have not
seen, It." But T found out after-
werd that he xaeaut to .aalc what I
thought would be the cbaaacterietiea
of the touting sermon of the ";world,

ed to dna a very important and meter -
tical theme, "Tire Clamini; Sermon,"
Before the world is converted the
style of religious discourse will have
kilo be converted. You might as well
go into the modern Sedan or Gettys-
burg with bows and arrows, instead
of rifles and bonlbsbells and parks of
artillery, es to expect to conquer
Win world for God by the old styles
of exhortation and sermonology.
Jonathan Edwards preached the ser-
mons most adapted to the age in
which he lived, hut if these ser-
mons were preached now they would
divide as audience tato two classee
--tbose sound aeleep, and 'those
wanting to go home.
Bet there is a discourse et the
future. Who will preach it I have
ao idea. In what part of the earth
it will be born I halve no idea. In
which denomination of Christians it
will be delivered I cannot guess.
That discourse of exhortation may
be horn inthe country meeting house
on the banks of tho St. Lawrence or
the Oregon or the Oltlo or tbo Tom-
bigbee or the Alabama. The person
who *ball deliver it rimy this mo-
ment he in a cradle under the
shadow of the Sierra Nevadan or in
• New England farmhouse or amid
tete rice fields of southern savannas.
or this moment there may be some
young man in one of our theological
a.minaries in the junior or middle
or senior cross, shaping that weapon
of power, or there may be coming
some new baptism of the holy Ghost:
as the churches, so that some of us
who now stand in the watch towers
of Zion, -Taking' to n. realization of
our present ince1ieiency, may preach
ft ourselves. That t'oming discourse
may not bo 50 ,years off. And let us
pray God that its arrival may be
hastened while x announce to you
what I think will lto the chief char-
aeteristics of that discourse or ex-
hortation when it does arrive, and
I want to make my remarks appro-
priate and suggestive to all classes
et Christ fan workers.
First of all, I remark that that
future religioue 41i:wowse ' will be
full of a living Christ in contradis-
tinction to didactic technicalities. A.
discourse may he full of Christ
%hough hardly mentioning his name,
and a sermon nsan bo empty of
Christ while every sentence is repeti
tions of his titles. The world wants
a living Christ, not a Christ stand-
ing at the head of a formal system
of theology, but- a Chris who means
pardon and sympathy and condol-
ence and brotherhood and life and
heaven, a poor inn reel Christ, a rich
man's Christ, an overworked man's
Christ, an invalid's Christ, a farm-
ar's Christ, a merchant's Christ, an
artisan's Christ, an every inan's
Christ.
That sermon or exhortation of the
future will not deal with men in the
threadbare illustrations of Jesus
>Ohrist. In that coming address there
, W' be instances of vicarious suffer -
taken right out of everyday life,
for there is not a day when some-
body is not dying for others—as the
physician saving his diphtheritic pa-
tient by sacrificing his own life ;
as the ship captain going down with
his vessel while he is getting his
pasOengers into the lifeboat ; as the
fireman consuming in the burning
building while he is taking a child
out of the fourth story window; as
in summer the strong swimmer at
East Ranipton or Long Branch or
Cape May or Lake George himself
perished while trying to save the
drowning ; as the newspaper boy,
One' summer, supporting his mother
for some years, his invalid mother,
teowhen.offered by a gentleman 50 cents
to get some special paper, andhe
rot it, and rushed up in his anxiety
to deliver it and was crushed un-
der the wheels of the train and las
en, the grass with only strength
enough to say, "Oh, what will be-
come of my poor sick mother now?"
Vicarious suffering — the world is
full;; of It. An engineer. said to me on
a locomotive in Dakota "We men
Teem to be coming to better appre-
elation than we used to. Did you
see that account the other day of
the engineer who to save his passen-
gers stuck to his place, and when
he was found deed in the locomotive,
which was upside down„ he was
found still emiling, his hand on the
airbrako ?" And as the engineer said
it to me he put his hand on the air -
brake c to illustrate
.h
is meaning, and
I looked at him and thought, "You
would be just is much a hero in the
same crisis:,,
A German sculptor made an imarre
of Christ, 'and he asked his little
child; 2 years old, That it wee, and
she Maid, "That must be some very
great man,'', The sculptor was dies
pleased with the criticism, so he
got another block of marble and
chiseled away on it two or three
years, and then he brought in his
little child, 4 or 5 years of age,
and said to her, "Who do You think
that is ?" She said, "That must be
the one who took little children in
hisarms and blessed them," Then
the sculptor was satisfied. Oh, my
friends, what the world wants is
nota cold Christ, not an intellectual
Christ, not a severely magisterial
Christ, but a loving Christ, spread-
ing out his arms of sympathy to'
press the whole wined to his loving
heart
The trouble is wo preach audiences:
into a Christian frame, and then
we preach them out of it. We for-
get that every auditor has so ruuch
capacity of attention, and when
that is exhausted he is restless, That
aoeident on the Long Island rail-
road years ago carne from the fact
that the brakes were out of order,
and when they wanted to stop the
train they could not stop, and hence
the casualty was terrific. In all re-
ligious discourse we want locomo-
tive power and propulsion. We want
at the same time stout brakes to
let down atthe right instant. It is
a dismal thing, after a bearer bast
comprehended the whole subject, to
hear a man say, "Now to recapitu-
late," and "A few words by way of
application," and "Once more," and
""1'loally," and "Now to conclude,"
Paul preached until midnight. and
Eutychus got sound *sleep and fell
out of a window and broke his
neck. Some would say, "Good for
him." I would rather be seen-
pa:thetio, like Paul, and resuscitate
hien. That accident 1s often quoted
now in religious circles as a Warn
ing against somnolence in church.
It is just as much a warning to
ministers against prolixity. Euty=.
thus was wrong in hie somnolence,
but Vail trade a mistake when ho
kept on until midnight. He ought
to have stopped at 11 o'clock,. and
there would bayo been no accident.
If Paul might have gone on to too
great length, let all those of us who
are now preaching the gospel re-
member that there is a lbnit to re-
ligious discourse, or ought to be,
and that in our time we have no
apostolic power of miracles. Napo-
leon in an address of seven minutes
thrilled his army and thrilled Eu-
rope. Christ's sermon on the mount,
the model sermon, was less thein 18
minutes long at ordinary anode of
delivery. It is not electricity scat-
tered all over the sky that strikes,
but electricity gathered into fa thun-
derbolt and hurled, and it is net re-
ligioas troth seattered over and.
spread out over a vast reach of
time, but religious truth projected
in compact foram that flashes light
upon the soul and rives its lnditler-
once.
When the religious discourse of the
future arrives, in this land and in
the Christian church, the discourse
which is to arouse the world and
startle the mations and usher in the
kingdom, it will be a brief discourse.
hear it, all theological students, all
yo inen and women who in Sabbath
schools and other departments are
toiling for Christ and the salvation
of immortals—brevity, brevity.
But I remark also that the reli-
gious discourse of the future of
which I speak will bo a popular dis-
course. There are those in these
times that speak of a popular ser-
mon as though there must bo some-
thing wrong about it, As these
critics aro drill themselves, the world
gots the impression that a sermon is
good in proportion as it is stupid.
Christ was the most popular preach-
er the wol+'ld ever saw, and, consid-
ering the small number of the
world's population, had the largest
audience ever gathered. Ile never
preached anywhere without making
a great sensation. People rushed out
in the wilderness to hear him, reck-
less of their physical necessities. So
great was their anxiety to hear
Christ that, taking no food with
them, they would have fainted and
starved had not Christ performed a
miracle and fed them. Why did so
many people take the truth at
Christ's hands ? Because they all
understood it. Re illustrated his sub-
ject by a hen and her chickens, by a
bushel measure, by a handful of salt,
by a bird's flight, and by a lily's
aroma. AR the people knew what
he meant, and they flocked to him.
And when the religious discourse of
the future appears it will not be
Princetoinian, not Rochesterian, not
Andoverian, not Middletonian, but
Olivetic — plain, practical, unique,
earnest, comprehensive of all the
woes, wants, sins and sorrows of
an auditory.
But when that exhortation or dis-
course does come there will be a
thousand gleaning scimitcrs to
charge on it. There are in so many
theological seminaries professors
telling young men how to preach,
themselves not knowing how, and I
am told that if a young man in
some of our theological seminaries
says anything quaint or thrilling or
unique faculty and students fly at
him and set him right and straight-
en him out and smooth him down
and chop him off until ho says every-
thing just as everybody else says it.
Oh, when the future religious dis-
course of the Christian church ar-
rives all the Churches of Christ in
our great cities will be thronged I
A mother with a dead babe in her
arms came to the good Siva and
asked to have her child restored to
life. The good Siva said to her,
"You go and get a handful of mus-
tard seed from a house in which
there' has been no sorrow and in
which there has been no death and
I will" restore your child to life."
So the - mother went out, and she
went from house to house and from
home to home looking for a place
where there had been no sorrow and
where there had been no. death, but
she found none. She went back to
the good -Siva and, said : "My mis-
sion is a failure. You see I haven't
• brought the mustard seed. I can't
find a place whore there has been no.
borrow and no death.,
"Ohl" says
theood'S van
g i "Understand, your
sorrows are no worse than the sor-
rows of others. We all have our.
griefs, and all have our heart-
breaks.
Laugh, and the worldlaughs with
you ;
Weep and you weep felon. ;,
For the sad old earth must borrow
its mirth;
But has trouble enough of its own.
We hear a great deal of discussion
now all over the land about why
people do not go to chureh, Some
may it is. because Christianity isdy-
ing out, and because people do not
believe in the truth of God's word,
and all that, They are false rea-
sons. The reason is because our ser-
mons and exhortations are not inter-
esting and practical and helpful.
Some one might as well tell the
whole truth on this subject, and so
I will tell it, The religious discourse
of the future, the gospel sermon to
come forth and shake the nations
and lift people out of darkness, ?will
be a popular sermon, just for the
simple reason that it will meet the
woes and the wants and the anxie-
ties of the people.
There are in all our denominations.
ecclesiastical mummies sitting around
to frown upon the fresh young pule
pits of .America to try to awe theta
down, to cry out ; "Tut, tut, tut
Sensational I" They stand to, - day
preaehing in churches that hold a
thousand people, and there are a
hundred persons present, and if they
cannot have the world saved in
their way it seems as i1 they do not
want it saved at all.
That religious discourse of the
future will be an everyday seruzon,
going right clown late every man's
life, and it will teach: hien how to
vote, haw to bargain, how to plow,
how to do any work he is called to
do, how to wield trowel and pen
and pencil and yardstick and plane.
And it will teach, women how to
preside over their household and how
to educate their children ztud bow to
imitate Miriam and Esther and Vasit-
ti and Eunice, the mother of Time -
thy, and Mary, the mother of Christ,
and those women who on northern
and southern battlefieldss were this. -
taken by the wounded for angels of
mercy fresh. from the throne of God.
Yes, I have to tell you, the reli-
gious discourse of the future will be
a reported sermon, If youhave any
idea that printing was iaavented sim-
ply to print secular hooka and sten-
ography and phi uoi;tapliy were eoal-
trived merely to set forthsecular
ideas" you aro mistaken. The print -
Mg press is to be the great agency
of gospel proclamation. It is high
time that good men, instead of de-
nouncing the press, employ it to
scatter forth the gospel of Jesus
Christ. The vast majority of people
in our cities do not come to church,
and nothing but the printed seruzon
can reaeh them, and call them to
pardon and life and peace and
heaven.
So I cannot understand the ner-
vousness of some of my brethern of
the ministry. When they see a news-
paper man coming in, they say,
Alas, there is a reporter I" Every
added reporter is 10,000, 50,000
100,000 immortal souls added to the
auditory. The time will come when
all the village, town and city news-
papers will reproduce the gospel of
Jesus Christ, and sermons preached
on the Sabbath will reverberate all
around the world, and, . some by
type and some by voice, all nations
will be evangelized.
The practical bearing of this is
upon those who are engaged in
Christian work, not only upon theo-
logical students and youn ministers,
but upon all who preach the gospel
a,nd all who exhort in meetings and
all of you if you are doing your
duty. Do you exhort in prayer meet-
ings ? Be short and spirited. Do you
teach in Bible class ? Though you
have to study every night, be in-
teresting. Do you accost people on
the subject of religion in their homes
or in public places ? Study adroit-
ness and common sense,
A dying Christian took out his
watch and gaveit to a friend and
said : "Take that watch. I have
no more use for it. Time is at an
end for me, and eternity begins."
Oh, my friends, when our watch has
ticked away for us the last moment
and our clock has struck for us the
last hour, may it be found we
did our work well, that we did it
in the very best way, and whether
we preached the gospel in public, or
taught Sabbath classes, or adminis-
tered to the sick as physicians, or
bargained as merchants, or pleaded
the law as attorneys, or were busy
as artisans or husbandmen or as
mechanics, or were, like Martha,call-
ed to give a meal to a hungry Christ,
or like Hannah, to make a coat for
a prophet, or like Deborah, to rouse
the courage of some timid Barak in
the Lord's conflict, we did our work
in such a way that it will stand the
test of the judgment 1 And in the
long procession of the redeemed that
march around the throne may, it be
found that there are many there
brought to God through our instru-
mentality, and in whose rescue we
exult. But let none of us who are
'still unsaved, wait for that religious
discourse of the future. It may come
after our obsequies. It may come af-
ter the stonecutter has chiseled our
name on the slab 50 years before.
Do not wait for a great steamer of
the Cunard or White Star line 'to
take you off the wreck, but hailthe
first craft, with however low a mast
and however small a hulk and how-
ever poor a rudder, and however
weak a captain. Better a disabled
schooner that comes up in time than
a full rigged' brig that comes up af-
ter you have sunk.
Instead of waiting for that reli-
gious discourse of the future (it may
be 40, 50 years off), take this plain

Pick the meat from, the bones of cold
turkey and chop it fine.. Put a layer
of bread crumbs on the bottom of a
buttered dish, moisten them with a
little milk, then put in a layer of tur-
key with some of the filling, and cut
small pieces of butter oyer the top;
then another layer of bread crumbs,
and se on until the dish is nearly fall;
add a little hot water to the gravy
left over from the turkey and pour
over it; then take two eggs, two tea-
spoonfuls of milk, oue of melted bate
ter., a little salt and cracker crumbs
as much as will make it thick enough
to spread on with a knife; put bits of
butter over it, and cover with a plate.
Bake three-quarters of an hour, Ten
minutes before sorving, remove the
plate and let it brown.
Pastry lois.
When shall pieces of the pie crust
are left from making pies, instead of
forming them into tarts, as is usually
done, seeuxe soine round hardwood
stioks, about four inches long, and,
after the pieces of crusts are rolled
out thin, cut them into narrow strips,
with a jaggered iron, hour the stacks,
and roll the strips around them, let-
ting oue edge drop over the other.
Place these on a tin, and put in et hot
oven to bake. When the crust has got
partly cool, slide the stick out..

Fruit Padding'.
This pudding is made without cook-
ing and is nice prepared the day be-
fore used.
Stow eurrants or any small fruit,
either fresh or dried, sweeten with
sugar to taste and pour hot over thin
slices of bread with the crust cut off,
placed in a suitable dish, first a layer
of bread, then the hot stewed fruit,
then bread and fruit, then bread leav-
ing the fruit last. Put a plate over
the top, and, when cool, set it on ice.
Serve with sugar and cream.
This pudding is very fine made
with Boston crackers split open and
placed in layers with stewed peaches.
The Best Cats for Stews.
The neck, shoulder and breast are
in the order given the best stew outs,
the neck being the juiciest part of
the animal, and probably the cheap-
est. It may seem almost an affront to
some to be assured that a royal meat
dish for a fomily may be provided at
a cost of 25 or 30 cents. But mole is
actually the ease. For a brown stew
(brown stews are either fricassees,
pot -roasts or braizes if properly
named) a cut from the round is herr
in beef, while for pot -roasts a thiek
ant from the face of the round is near-
ly always used.
To loreshen Up Pura.
Nears when taken out in the fall are
often found to have a mussed, crush-
ed -out appearance. They can be
made to look like new, by following
these simple directions: Wet the fur
with a hair brush, brushing up the
wrong way of the hair. Leave it to
dry in the air for about half an hour,
and then give it a good beating on
the right side with a rattan.. After
beating it, comb with a coarse comb,
combing the right way of the hair.
To Enloe the Pile on Velvet.
To raise the pile on 'velvet, put on
the table two pieces of wood; place
between them, bottom side np, three
very hot fiat -irons,. and over them lay
a wet cloth; hold the velvet over the
cloth, with the wrong side down;
when thoroughly steamed, brush the
pile with a light whisp, and the vel-
vet will look as good as new.
Chocolate Icing for Eclairs.
Grate two ounces of chocolate and
set over hot water until melted. When
perfectly smooth, cook together one
cupful of granulated sugar and one-half
of a cupful of water until it becomes
stringy. Pour this in a fine stream
over the melted chocolate, stirring
and beating until the mixture begins
to thicken. Use immediately.
Mock Ice.
Take about three tablespoonsfnl of
some good preserve ; rub it through a
sieve with as much cream as will fill
a quart mold ; dissolve three-quarters
of au ounce of isinglass or gelatine in
half a pint of water ; when almost
cold, mix it well with the cream;.
put it into a'mold, set it in a cool
place and turn out next day.
Starch Po ish.
Take one ounce of spermaceti and
one ounce of white wax; melt and
run into a thin cake on a plate. A
piece the size of a twenty-five cent
piece added to a quart of prepared
starch gives a beautiful lustre to the
clothes and prevents the iron from
sticking.
To Bleach Cotton Cloth.
Take one. large spoonful of sal soda
and one pound .of chloride of lime for
thirty yards; dissolve in 'clean soft
water; rinse-: the cloth thoroughly in
cold, soft
water so that
it may not,
rot, This amount of cloth may be
bleached in fifteen minutes.
To Retrieve 'Fitt. From Cloth,
Saturate the spot and rub it well
with turpentine, and every trace of
the tar will be removed.
The Canuck Soldiers.
To far.off fields they go
Where the gloomy veldt is red,
With their kits aback and the Union Jack
A -floating overhead.
When the good Queen's trumpets sound,
When the good Queen's bugles blow,
Trach true Canuck will wish them luck,
As oar the seas they go.
When the widow's bugles blow,
When the widow's trumpets sound,
Each brave Canuck will show his pluck
When, the battlefield is found.
To foreign lands they go
By patriotism fed s
They will not lag for the meteor flag
is floating overhead,
When the good Queen's trumpets sound,
When the good Queen's bugles blow,
Each true Canuck will wish them luck,
As o'er the seas they go.
When the widow's bugles blow,
When the widow's trumpets sound,
Each brave Canuck will show his pluck
When the battlefield is found.
Te battle, fields afar,
Perhaps to loin the dead!
They go with joy for the silken toy
That's floating overhead,

intensely severe pains in the back.
Usually the paints attacked me when.
working or lifting, but often when
not at work at all. With every attack
the pains seemed to grow worse, un-
til filially I was .confined to the house,
and there for live long menthe was
bed -ridden, and mach of this time
could not move without help, Ify
wife required to stay with me con-
stantly, and became nearly exhausted.
During the time 1 was aufferiug
thus 1 was attended by four different
doctors. Some of them pronounced
my trouble lumbago, others sciatica,
but they did not euro me, our did
they give mato any relief, save by the
injection of morphine. For years I
gutfered thus, sometimes confined to
bed, at other times able to go about
and work, but always suffering from,.
the pain, until about three years ago
when I received a new lease of life,
and a freedom from the pains that
had so long tortured me. It was at
this time that 1 '-. Williams' Pink
Pilin for Pale Pe ;,'.i- were brought to
my attention and 1 got two boxes.
The effect seemed marvellous and 1
got six boxes more, and before they
were all used I was again a healthy
man and free from pain. It is about
three years since I was cured, and
during that tune I have never had an
attack of the old trouble, and 3 can
therefore strongly testify to the ster-
ling quality of I)r. WUUIiams' Pink
Pills. Since they did such good -work
for me 1 have recommended them to
several people for various ailments,
and the pills have always been sno-
oessful."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by
going to the root of the disease. They
renew and build up the blood, and
strengthen the nerves, thus driving
disease from the system. Avoid imi-
tations by insisting that every box
you purchase is enclosed in a wrapper
bearing the full trade Mark, Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
Some Advice. to Shippers.
Don't fail carefully to inspect your
shipment before closing the box. Put
in the memorandum on your bill
head, or an envelope, showing the
count and other data. beep a dupli-
cate yourself, and thereby save much
annoyance and frequently a loss.
Don't chase off into a new market
with untried: people just because of a
possible temporary advantage. Nine
times out of ten you will lose. Keep
in touch with a good house in several
markets., and use judgment in ship- -
ping to any of them. Watch the re-
ports and forecasts, and then allowfor
weather changes.
Tbe Demon, Dyspepsia.—In olden time
it was a popular belief that demons moved
invisibly through the ambient air, seek-
ing to enter into men and trouble them.
At the present day the demon, dyspepsia,
is at large in the same way, seeking
habitation in those who by careless or un-
wise living invite bim. And once he en-
ters a nsan it is difficult to dislodge him.
He that finds himself so possessed should
know that a valiant friend to do battle
for him with the unseen foe is Parmelee'.
Vegetable Pills, which are ever ready for
the trial.
Green Renes for the Fens.
A mess of green bones at least twine
a week will always prove beneficial;,
as they provide lime for the shells
and serve as a change. Some do not
believe in feeding, grain at all in the
summer season, preferring to allow
the hens to work. A 'pound of green
bone eat with a bone cutter, twice
or three times a `week, given to a
dozen bens at night is better than
feeding grain, as the hens nearly al-
ways come up with full crops when
they are on the range. When in cone
finement in late fall or winter the
green bone will continue to he rtf
valuable assistance..
