Talmage Tells How We May
All Be Happy.
A despatch from :Washington says;
—Rev. Dr, Talmage preached from
the following teL content
with sueh things as ye have."—Hes
brews xiii.'
The firat re S011 that, mention as
leading to this Spirit advise(1 in the
text, is 'the consideration that the
pserest of us have all that is indis-
pensable in life. We make a great
ado about our hardships, but how
little we talk of our blessings,
Health of body, Which:As given in
largeet quantity to those .tvho have
never been petted and fondled and
spoiled of iortune, WO take as a mat-
ter of course. Rathee have this lux-
nry and have it alone, than withont
it, look out of a palace window lin-
en park e of deer stalking between
fountains and statuary, These peo-
ple sleep sounder on a straw mat-
tress than fashionable, invalids on a
couch of ivory and eagle's down.
The dinner of herbs tastes better to
the appetite sharpened on a wood-
man's axe or a reaper's scythe than
wealthy indigestion experieaces seat-
ed at a table covered with partridge
and venison and pineapple. The
grandest luxury God ever gave a
man is health. II° who teades that
off for all the palaces of the earth is
infinitely cheated. Bless God today,
0 man, 0 W0111E1/1, that though you
may be shut out from the works of
a church, and a Bierstadt and a Ru-
bens and a Raphael, you still have
free access to a gallery grander than
the Louvre or the Luxembourg or
the Vatican—the royal gallery of the
noonday Cheaven, the King's gallery
of the midnight, sky.
Another cousidera.tion leading us to
a spirit of contentment, is the fact
that our happiness is not dependent
-upon outward circumstances. You
see people happy and miserable anaid
all circumstances. 111 a family
where the last loaf is on the table
and the, last stick of wood on the
Inc, you sometimes find a cheerful
confidence. in God, while in a very
fine place you will see.,and hear dis-
cord sounding her war -whoop and

cheerless parlor. I believe real hap-
piness oftener looks out of the win-
dow of •

gilded box of a theatre. I find Net

Ahab going to bed at noon, through
melancholy, while near by is Naboth
contented in the possession of a
vineyard. Haman, prime minister
of ,Persia, frets himself almost to
death because a poet. ,Tew will not
tip his hat, and Ahithophel, one of
the great lawyers of the Bible thnes,
through fear of dying, hangs him-
self.
Another reason why -we should
come to this spirit inculcated 111 the
text is the fact that all the differen-
ces of earthly condition are transi-
tory. The houses you build, the
lands you culture, the places in
which you barter, are soon to go in-
to other hands.: However hard you
' may have it now, if you are a Chris-
tian the scene will soon end. Pain,
trial, persecution, never knock at the
door of the grave. A coffin made
out of pine boards is just as good a
resting place as one made out of sil-
ver mounted 'mahogany or rosewood.
Go down among the resting places
of the dead, and you will find that
though people there had a great dif-
ference of worldly circumstances,
now they are all alike unconscious.
The warm hand that greeted the
senator and the president and the
king is still as the hand that harden-
ed on the, mechanics' hammer or the
manufacturer's wheel. It does not
make any difference now, whethex-
there is a plain stone above them
from which the traveller pulls aside
the weeds to read the nanae, or a
tall shaft springing into the hea-
vens as though to tell their virtues
to the shies. In that silent land
there are no titles for great men,
and there are no rumblings of char-
iot wheels, and there is never heard
there the foot of the dance. The
Egyptian guano which is thrown on
the field in the East for the enrich-
ment of the soil, is the dust raked
out from the, sepulchres of the kings
end lords and mighty Men. 0! the
chagrin orthose mighty men if they
had ever known that in the after ag-
es of the world they would have been
called Egyptian guano.'
Another reason Why we should cul-
ture this spirit of cheerfulness is the
fact that God knows what is best for
his creatures. You know what 15
best for your child. He thinksyou.
are not as liberal with him as you
ought, to be. He criticises your dis-
cipline, but you look over the whole
field, and you,, loving that child, do
What in your deliberate judgment is
beet for him. Now,
GOD IS THE BEST OE FATHERS.
Sometimes his children think, that
he is hard on them 'and that he is
not as liberal with them as he
might be, But children do not know
as 111.11011 as a father, ,1 c,an tell you
why you are not largely afinent, and
,why you have not been grandly suc-
ceseful. It, is beeause yOu 00111101

John Noyes, the martyr, in the very
midst of the flame reached down and
pielsed up one of the faggots that
was eansuining him and kissed it,
and said: "Blessed he God for the
time when 1 WaS born to this Prefer-
'"rhey who suffer with him
111 heaven.'' content then with
smell thiligs as you, have."
Another consideration leading us
to the spirit of' the text is- the as-
surance that the Lord will provide
somehow. Will he who holds .the
waters in the hollow of Ilia hand al-
low his ehildren die of thirst?
Will 11e who owns the cattle on a
than sand, hills and all the ear 's
luxuriance oC graia aud fruit, allow
his, children to starve? Go out to-
morrow 1a. Jr1 ling at five o'clock, into
the 1001 (15 and hear the birds chant.
They have had no breakfast, they
know not where they will dine, they
have no idea where they will sup;
but hear the hirde chant at five
o'clock in the morning. "Behold,
the fowls of the air, they sow not
neither do they reap, nor gather into
barns, yet your heavenly father feed -
0111 them; are ye 1101 much better
than they?" Seven thousand people
in Cheist's time went into, the des-
ert. They were the most improvi-
dent people I ever heard of.
THEY' DESERVED TO STARVE.
They might have taken food enough
with them to last them until they
got back. Nothing did they take.
A lad who had More wit than all of
them put together, asked his mother
that morning for some loaves of
bread and some ftshes. They were
put into his satchel. I -Ie went out
into the desert. From this provis-
ion, the seven thousand were fed,
and the more they cat the larger the
loaves grew, until the provision that
the boy brought in one satchel
was multiplied so he could not have
carried the fragments home in six
satchels. ``011," you say, "times
have changed:, and the day of mir-
acles has gone." I reply that what
God did then by miracle, he does
now in some other way and by 11,11,-1
tural laws. "I have been yelling.,"
said David, "but now am old, yet
have I never seen the righteous for-
saken nor his seed begging bread."
It is high time that you people who
are fretting about worldly circum-
stances and fearing you are cone-
ing to want, understood that the
oath of the eternal G oct is involved
iii the fact that you are to have
enough to eat and to wear.
Again: I remark that the religion
of. Jesus Christ is the grandest, in-
fluence to make a man contented.
Indemnity against all financial and
spiritaml harm. It calms the spirit;
dwindles the earth into insignifi-
cance, and swallows up the soul
with the thought of heaven. Oh !
ye who have been going from place
to place expecting- to find in change,
of circumstances something to give
solace to the spirit, I coin -mend you
this morning- to the wann-heartecl,
earnest, practical common-sense re-
ligion. of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is 11 peace, saith my Lord,
for the wielsed, -incl as long as you
continue in. v011r sin, you. tvill be
miserable. Come to God. Make
him your portion and start for heav-
en and you will be a happy xnan—
you will be a happy wonsan.
Let us all remember, if we are
Christians that, we are going, after
awhile. Whatever be our circinal-
stances now. to come to a glorious
vacation. As in sun -inter we put off
our garnients,and go clown into the
cool sea, to bathe. so we will put off
these garments of flesh, and we wit).
step into the cool .fordon. We will

will say: ''5 -lush! while I sing thee

strong men carry us out to our last
resting place. and ashes come to
ashes, and dust to dust, we will see
two scarred feet sta,ncling anaid the
broken sod, and a lacerated brow
'bending over the open. earth, while a
voice tender with all affection and
mighty with, omnipotenc,e will de-
clare: "I am 1110 resurrection and the
life: he that believetti in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live.''
Comfort on0 another with these
wOrcls.

1. A sublime and simple statenient of
bow the srerld was made. Conitene Ps.
xxxiii, fi, 0; Jee. xxxii, 17. As to the
oue by whom God (11(1 it 011 see John i,
1-3; Col. 1, 14-16. The word litre, trans-
lated God, is a ,plural word, 011(1 WO may
see here the '1'1 -laity. Not only find com-
fort in the power ofour Lord and Sav-
iour, but what you caunot begin with
Goa do not begin at all, whether a book
or letter or transaction.
2. lIraste aad void and darkness (see
It. V.) are not suggestive of God, and
In. xlv, 18. It. 1' says that. God did not
make the earth a i‘,aste. The first verse
is a dateless verse and tells us of what
God clld perhaps tees er Inindreds .01
thousands of years ago. The 'second
verso tells us of now things avere some
6,000 yeaes ago when God began to bring
order and beauty and fruitfulness out of
the chaos and darkness. The iuterval be-
tween the first and second verses gives
room to all the geological ,periods which
irmy be desired.
3-5. The words "and God said," used
ten times in tins chanter, tell us of the
word of God by which or by whom all
things were inade. The Spirit' of God is
the great worker and the word of :God is
the great instrument by which God ac-
complishes all things. So the two
phrases, "the Spirit of God moved" and
"God said," tell how God does all His
work in nature or in grace. As to light
coming by the word, see II Cor. iv, G;
Ps. exix, 130, and on the division between
light and darkuess see II Cor.
6-3. The second day's work is a firma-
ment or expanse, not something solid, but
something thia or rare, dividing watbrs
above from waters below. I am willing
to believe that these six clays were six
ordinary days, as any simple person
tvould suppose froni Ex. xx, 11, and that
God did ou each day just what He says
did.. The shnplest way of reading
Scripture is the best (alath. xi, 25): The
practical lessens for the heart and life
all through this portion are very simple
and helpful. Verse 2 describes the'heart
and life of every unsaved person, and the
first day's work is suggestive of the new
birth, and the division that at onee begins
to be Made manifest la the life. The sec-
ond day's work suggests how the life is
to be nourished not by waters below, but
by waters alsove, and is illustrated .by
Jer. ii, 13; John iv, 13, 14; Rev. xxi, 6;
xxii, 17.
0-13. On the third day the dry lanais
made to appear, and He, covers it With
grass, herbs and treea. The suggestion
for the believer is that of a.resurrection
life and fruitfulness and is set forth in
such passages as Col. iii, 14; Phil. i, 11;
iii, 10; John so, 1-11. The seed and fruit
after his kind -whose seed is in itself re-
minds us that flesh produces only that
which is fleshly, and the spiritual 01111
only come by the Spirit. Ggapes do not
grow on thorns, nor figs on, thistles (John
iii, 6; Math. vii, 16). .The association of
the third day and resurrection is seen in
the stories of Isaac and Jonah and the
marriage in Cana (Gen. )dxii, 4; Math.
xii, 40; John ii, 1), also in Hos. vi, 2.
14-.10. On the fourth day the sun, 1110011
and stars are appointed for signs, sea-
sons, days and years, to be lights in the .
firmament and to rule over the day aad
night: We think of them in coatectioit.
with seasons, days and years, but are
not apt to consider that they are signs,
and when attention is called to Jer. xxxi,
35, 36s xxxiii, 20, 21, and that Israel is
always a nation before God some people
are greatly astonished. The sun turns
ovr attention to the Lord God as our sun
and shield and to the time when the
righteous shall shine forth as the sun
(Ps. lxxxiv, .11; Math. xiiig 43). The
moon, which i's aid to be a ruin of na-
ture and reflects hpon us the light of the.
rani, tells na how we aye. to let our light
shine that God may be,gloritied, by living
in 1 -lis light and abiding in His love, by
seeing Jesus only.
20-23. The .fiftli,day shows us tile wa-
ters and th,e air, with abundance of fishes
and fowl, and connnand given them to be.,
fruitful and multiply and 'fill tbe waters
and multiply intim earth. The fifth day
is associated with blessing and abundant
multiplication, for hero -the, words, are
first used, and we:cannot but think of
Prov. x, 22, It: TV„ "'The blessing of the
Lord,maketh rich, and toil acIdeth .noth-
lug thereto;" of His blessing which gave
Israel "a three nal'S' crop in the sixth
year and fed abundantly 5,000 men with
five loaves.
24-31. On the six,tli day. cattle and
creeping things and beasts of the earth
are inade and man in the inmee of God
male and female, to have dominion over
all; man made of the dust of, the earth,
O 'full grown perfect man and woman
made of a part of man's body, and giVen
to him to be a helpmeet for him; and He
called their name Adam (chapters i; and
v, 1, 2). The Spirit tells us by Paul in
Eph. v, 30-32, that Adam and Eve are
typical of Christ and the church, and the
Spirit.elsewhere teaches us that as Eve
was builded out Of Adam by his sleep
(Gen. ii, 21, 22, margin). so by virtue of
1110 deftth and resarrecSion of Christ, the
true Eve, the church is now beiva; build -
ed out of Him, and, ,whencompleted,
slwill be brought to Him, and there shall
be a marriage anti titen the kingdom
(1,Zeir xix,.7; Dan. vii, 27).
ii, This portiou tells us that on the
seventh (lay God ended and rested from
His work and blessed the seventh day
and sanctified it. We have the practical
teaching in IIeb. iv, where ave learn that
WO can only enter itito reel; when we
cease from our own works as God Ohl

since I put up :my first telephone. At
that time. I was visiting at nitr
father's house in Brantford, a
small city in -Ontario, Canada. We
obtained the perniission of 111e, Can- -

graph line four miles long that 'ex-.
tended from 'Brantford to a neigh:I
boring village. Vac put up our ap-

loaned ,for the purpose, and as it
was' oyer half a mile from Use tele-
graph line we werla obliged to 1
lengthen the wire. No additional I
telegraph wire as available, so
what do you think we used? You;
would never guess. We could find,
nothing in the, hardware stores butg
atovepipe 'wire, and 15,0 had to buy(
up. all the stovepipe wire in Brant-
ford to make our line long enough.,'
We did no't trouble to put up poetS,

over this first telephone wire was,
