-Rev. Dr Talmage preached fro
the following text: "The spider telt
etli hold with her hands and is i
kluge' palaoes."-Pinvenbs xxx, 28,
11 is not very certain what was th
particular ,species of insect Spoke
of in the text; but I shall prooeed
learn from it in the first place' th
exquisiteness of the divine mechan
ism. The kings' chamberlain comes
into the palace and looks around and
Sees the spider on the wall, and eays:
'Away with that intruder," and the
Servant of Solomon's palace conies
:with his broom and dashes down the
insect, saying', 'What a loathsome
thing it is." But under microscopic
inspection I find it more wondrous of
construction than the embroideries
on the palace walla and the uphols-
tery about the windows. All the
machinery on the earth could not
make anything so delicate and
beautiful as the prehensile with
which that spider clutches its prey,
or as any of its eight eyes. We do
.not have to goo far up to see the
power of God, in the tapestry hang-
ing. around the windows of heaven, or
in the horses and chariots of fire
,with which the dying day departs,
or to look at the mountain swinging
out its sword arna from under the
mantle of. darkness until it can strike
with its sciraiter of the lightning. I
love better to study God in the shape
of a fly's wing, in the formation of
a fish's scale, in the snowy white-
ness of a pond lily. I loye to track
his footsteps in the mountain moss,
and to hear his voice in the hum of
the rye fields, and. discover the rus-
tle of his robe of light in the south
wind. Oh, this wonder of divine
power that can build a habitation for
God in an apple blossom, and tune a
bee's voice until it is fit for the eter-
nal orchestra, and can say to a fire-
fly: "Let there be light," and from
holding an ocean in the hollow of his
hand goes. forth to find heights and
depths and lengths and breadths of
onanipotency in a dew drop, and dis-
mounts from the chariot of midnight
hurricane to cross over on the sus-
pension bridge of a spider's web.
;You May take your telescope and
sweep it across the heavens in order
to behold tile glory of God, but I
shall take the leaf holding the spider
and the spider's web, and I shall mm
bring the microscope to y eye, and
while I gaze and look and study
am confounded, I '
_ EneeI down in
the graas and cry; "Great and
marvelous are thy works, Lord God

Again: my text teaches Me that in-
significance is no excuse for inactjon.
This spider that Solorcion saw on the
wall might have said: "I can't weave
web worthy of this great palace.
What can I do araid all this gold and
embrolaery I Rb.ia Inane

and so I will not work my spinning

spider taketh hold with her hands."

windows of agate, and the fountain

and frona the top of one comnaunio

in which there, ought only to be iigb
and love and pardon and grace. Ye
a spider is in the palace.
Again; my text tonchea me the
peascverance will mount into the
king's palace. it must have seeme.c
a long distance fox that spider to
climb in Solomon's .splendid residence
but it started at the very foot of the
wall and went up over the panels' of
Lebanon cedar, higher and higher
until it stood higher than the highest
throne in all the nations -the throne
of Solomon. And so God has de-
ereed it that many of those who are
down in the dust of sin and dishonor
shall gradually arrixe in the kings
palace. And God hath decided that
though you may be -weak of arm and
slow of tongue, and be ,struck through
with a great many mental and moral
deficits, that by his almighty grace
yon shall yet arrive in the King's
palace. Not such an one as is spoken
of in the text -not one of marbleanot
one adorned with pillars of alabaster
and thrones of ivory and. flagons of
burnished gold, but a palace in which
God is the Xingandthe- angels of
heaven are the cup -bearers. The
spider crawling up the wall of Solo -
mons palace, was not worth looking
after or considering as conipared with
the fact that we who are worinA of
the dust may at last ascend into the
palace of. the King immortal. By
the grace of God may we all reach it.
Oh! heztven is not a dull place. It is
not a worn-out mansion with faded
curtains and outlandish chairs and
cracked ware. No, it is a fresh and
fair anal beautiful as though it were
completed but yesterday. The kings
of the earth shall bring their honor
and glory into it. A palace means
,splendor of apartments. Now, I do
not know where heaven is, and I do
not know how it looks, but if our
bodies are to be resurrected in the last
day, 1 think hea.ven must have a ma-
terial splendor as well as a spiritual
grandeur. ,What will be the use of
a resurrected foot it there be nothing
to tread on? or of a resurrected hand
if there be no harp 1.0. strike, and no
place to take hold in the kin's palace?
Oh! what grandenr. ,of aDartmeM.-s
when that divine hand which plunge
the sea into bine and the fo1i,"V1
gren, ne a tsunset on fire,
aii`entia-er all the beautiful colors
of earth around his throne, and when
that arm which lifted the of
Alpfne reek an bent the arch of the
sky, shall raise before our soul the
eternal architecture, and that hand.
which hung with loops of fire the cur -1
tains of morning shall prepare the up-
holstery of our kingly residenee. Al
palace also means splendor of associa- ;
tion. The poor man, the outcast,
eapnot get into the Tailletles or '
lArindsor Castle. The Sentinel of
the king- or the gueen stands there;
and cries, "Halt!' -as he tries to enter.]
But in that palace we may all become
itsidentst and ar.e. shall all be princes
and kings. We may 'have been beg-
gars, we may have been outcasts we
may have been wandering and lost as
we all have been, but there we shall
take on regal power.
evhat a lesson that is you and irie.
You say if you had eome great tier -
mon to preach, if 4you only had a great
audience to talk to, if Toll only had
a ,great army to marehal, if you only
had a conetitution to write, if there
was SOMS tremendous thing in the
,warld for you to do -then you would
show us. Yes, you would show us t
What if the Leviteln the ancient tem-
ple had refused to snuff the candle
because he could not be a highpriest?
What if the humming bird should re-
fuse to sing its song into the etor of
the honey suck -le because it cannot,
like the eagle, daela its wing into the
un?. What if the rain -drop should
refuse to descend because it. Ls not
a Niagara? What if the spider of the
text should , refuse to move
it shuttle because it cannot
weave a Solomon's robe? Away with
such folly? If you are lazy with the
one talent you would be lazy with the
ten talents. If Milo cannot lift the
calf he never will have strength
to lift the ox. In the Lord's army
there is order for promotion, but: you
cannot be a general until you have
Scan a lieutenant, a captain, or a col-
onel. It le step by step, it is inch by
inch, it iS stroke by stroke, that our
Christian character ie blinded. There-
fore be content to do what God com-
ma -ode you to do. God is not aSharned
to do email things. 'I -Ie is not asham-
ed to be found chiseling a grain of
sand, OT helping a honey bee to con-
struct its cell with mathematical ac-
curacy, or tingeing a' shell in the surf,
shaping the bill of a chaffinch. What
God does hedoes well. What yen do
do well, be it a great work or a small
.work. If ten talents, employ all the
ten. re five talents', employ all the
five. If one talent, employ the one,
If only the thotmandth part of a tal-
ent employ that. "Be thou faithful
unto death and I will give theea
Drown of life." I tell you; 11 you are
not faithful to God in a eraall sphere,
you would be indolent and inaiguifi-
cant in a large Sphere.
'Again: my text teaches 'me that re-
pulsiveness and loathsomeness will
sometimea climb up into very elevated
placea. You, perhaps, n,oul cl have
tried to kill the epider that Solomon
saw. You would have said:'"This is
no place for it. Tf that spider is de-
ter/riffled to weave .0 Nve.b let it do
so down in- tile cellar of this palace,
or in some dark dungeon." 45 ! The
spider of the' text could not be diS-
eettraged. Id elaMberea 0,e, and
climbed up higher and higher and
higher, until after a while it reached

WHAT A MAN SHOULD EAT
A GOB1NATION OF ANI1V1AL AND
VEGETABLE FOOD.
D.
Physician Tells the Exact Amount for
ItealtIty Person -scientific Diet for
Ono Day.
A famous physician has made up
a new, aystem of what people should
eat to be healthy. He figures this.
s out in as exact, scientific way as an
engineer calculatna how much coal
f his, erig•ine needs daily. He calculates
tha t a person needs three and one-
- third bounds of solid food daily.
- But the knowledge of whet weight
of food a person should consume a
ri day doe g net Settle the diet ques-
e tion, which is one of the most im-
t portant tningS in ' life to every per -
S.
t 0,11.
t A get of this great physician's diet
tablee, while not a$ lucious looking
1 as a French ehef's table d'hote
menu, will result in better digestion.
In these tables this physiologist
shows the different degrees of nour-
ishment in the varions kinds of
meats, cereals, and vegetables.
Among meats beef tands at the
head of the het, Lot 1t proteids, or
albuminous qualities, with the ex-
ception of fowl. But as the percent-
age of fat, is less in beef than in fowl
it is. more easily digested. The pre-
sence of fat in meat tends to retard
digestion by preventing the dioestive
fluids from making their way in be-
tween fibres'.
Eggs are to be regarded as complete
natural food, ae they contain all the
necessary food principles.
Milk is the natural food for the
young of all animals', as well as ef
man. Under a microscope milk is
seen to consist of .a clear fluid filled
with small oily globei one -millionth
of an inch in diameter. These globes
contain the nourishing quality of
railk, called casein. When taken into
the stomach it Id- coagulated, ,but
passes on easily through the digestive
orgaes of children. • '
That the cereals are most* impor-
tant and useful food is shown by the
fact that they contain such large
percentage of sugar starch, - and
gums, called carbohydrates, as Well
a.S a considerable 'amount of proteids
or albuireinoids. But, owing to the
celluose or woody fibre which covers
the kernels they are somewhat dif-
ficult of digestion.
MEAT AND VEGETABLES.
Vegetables vary greatly in nutri-
tive value and digestibility. The cel
lulose in them, however, tends to
retard digestion. For this reason
nearly all vegetables reonalta: csii
Mg. Yn te: heat and
te no I. only is the texture of
the vegetable softened, but the
starch grains are pa.rlially converted
into Augar and othar substances easi-
ly assimilated. Potatoes, when well
cooked, are easily flig,si.6.d because
' they contain but little cellulose.
Ripe fruits, oranges, lemons, grapes,
pears, peaches, cherries, apples, and
berrie,s generally, have but little
nourishing quality, as they consist of
75 to 85 per cent of Water. 13ta the
sugars and acids which they gontain
make them invaluable in making up
a healthful diet.
Tiat,ire 1 e constant diseuSsion,
about the relative value of meat diet,
as ccntrasted with that of cereals
and vegetables. Dr. Brubaker has
ea culated the actual value of animal
and vegetable diet in plain figunes
He shows, that one guarter the yege-
'table fond taken into the System re-
mains undigested, while in meats.
the undigested portion is only one-
tenth,.
As neither animal nor vegetable
foods contain the nutritive eienaents
Id proper propo-rtions to satisfy, the
human system man's instinct bas led
him to make a combination of the
two kinds of diet.
To construct a scientific diet it is
only necessary to combine two or
more foods insufficient quantities ,to
furnish the amount of nitrogen and
carbon required by the body in
twenty-four hours, Here is what Dr.
Brubaker considers a "scientific"
amount and assortment of food per
day:
Meat Half pound
Dread One pound
Fats ...One-quarter pound
Potatoes' One pound
Milk Half 'pint
Eggs Quarter Pound
_Cheese -a. . One-third pound
This makes a weight of three and
a third pounds of solid food. But to
thrive upon this diet a person must
add the anaount of acids, sugar, or
sal LS, Which his particular system
needs. The natural craving of 1,he ap-
petite i8 a pretty good guide in this
naatter. '
Hark! the chariot is rumbling in
the distance. I really believe the
guests are coming now. The gates
swing open, the guests dismount:, the
palace is filling, and all the chalices
flashing with pearl and with jet and
carbuncle, are lifted to the lips of
the myriad banqueters, while stand-
ing in robes of snowy white they
drink to the honour of our glorious
King! "Oh," you say, "that is too
grand a place for you and for rue."
No, it is not. lf a spider, according
to the text, could crawl up 'op the
wall of Solomon's* palace, shall not
our poor souls through the blood of
Christ naount up from the .depths of
its sin and shame, and filially reach
the palace of the. eternal King?
narliere sin abounded grace cloth
much more abound, that whereas Sin
reigned unto death, even so ", may
grace reign through righteousness

In the Inc east there is a bird

beautiful superstition that upon
whatever head the shadow of that
bird rests, upon that head there shall
be a crown. 0 thou Dove of the

no fact on which to base the con-

his disciples would be among the
closest associations of their lives.

generally conceded that this' was the

the Lord. They worshiped him. It is
implied that they fell prostrate at
his feet. This was no unusual atti-
tude for those Who regarded him with
homage; but it seems -certain that
the wonderful manifestations of our
Lord after his resurrection 'hall
aroused a deep spiritual reverence,
humilia lion, and yearning 'aspiration,
sncsh as the dismples had never before
felt. Some doubted. Doubted whe-
ther or not it, waS the risen Lord.
This admission shows the frank Sin-
cerity of all concorned--those 'who
ware present, and Ilse man who is

pany of believers lvats addressed, not
only the eleven apostles. In a very
true sense the Churel in all ages
was addressed. All power is given
unto me inheaven and hi earth. All
authority. "The universal dominion
over heaven and earth, which elver-
taileed to him. in his divine nature was
conferred upon hien as man, in virtue
of his fulfillment of 'his Father's will
and in reward of his obedience, See
Phil. 2. 5-11; 1 Cox. 15. 24-28; Eph. 1.

19. Go ye the,refore, and-reaeli alt

therefore" the student of re-
ligious truth should ask "Wherefore?'
The reason has, just been given; be-
cause our Lord has been endowed with
universal authority his servants are
to "make disciples of all the heathen,"
or thaI Id the litaral translation of
the Greek; to instruct those l'ho have
been cast out and neglected. A veiexe
itn our lesson for Sunday before last,
:John 20. 23, seems to place emphasis
on what has been called the priestly
element of the Clirfstian
but here stress is put on teaching,
and that certainly, is the first and the
chief duty of Ohris Hans, whether
raintsterial or lay. There can be no
fuller declaration of the universality
of the Gospel, than that- in this verse.
All the ' Gentile world is to
be brought into the fellowship
of our Lord's disciples. Baptizing
them in the name 05 the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
"The act a 'baptism is- the initial
means whereby the formal fellowship
is. effected." The. rite 'symbolizes
cleansing away the old and putting
on the new. Baptism is not a charm
pronounced on a young Christian, but
an outward eign, sacrament or oath
of faithfulness in fellowship with the
triune God. t. • •

what the Lord 'commands, and there-
fore avoiding super.stitious practices;
teaching all that the Lord commands
arid therefore avoiding looseness. Our
Lord's commands were really new
laws of life: the Sermon on the
Mount; the promises -recorded in the
closing chapters of. John's gospel,and
the condensation of the law and the
prophets in the new "commandment"
