A despalch from Chicago says: - 10V. Frank De Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text: X, Cor- inthians vi. 19, "Know ye not that eager body Is the temple of the Holy abost?" More titan Westin -Luster abbey is to Londou or Notre Dezue to Paris or the Vatican to llome or tho mosque of St, Sophia to Constantinople, more than Dianeas temple was to Ephesus or the shrine of Mime to Athens, King Solonaon's temple was to the Hebrew heart. It vets the ono spot about which national pride and religious fervor centred; it was the 011a place above all others which tho lsettelite wanted to see, o.s the Mussulman devotee says, "Let me, I pray thee, worsblp once at eSecca before I di,"' In It was the Shoal - inch, tbe holy of holies, the reposi- tory of the covenantal ark. It was God's footstool. It was like a frag- ment of heaven's manifested glories. A SACRED TEMPLE. Not 'alone hi gold and precious stones was the temple of Solomon unique. It WftS great in its spiritu- al associations. Its very site had a sanctity of its own. It was so sacred M the eyes of king and peo- ple that when the temple was erect- ed measures were taken to avoid even tho ordinary sounds of tools. In the book of 1Cings we read, "And the house, when it was building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither, so that there was neither hammer nor axe ator any tool of iron heard in the house while it was in buildieg." As the steel bridge to -day is sent from the foundries with °Dab girder and tres- tle and beam marked beforehand for their positions, so the temple's stones and beams were cut and fit- ted together miles away from their ultimate destination. When tho terefile's walls were reared they rose amid the impressive sacredness of si- lence. So sacred was the place that cm the day of tbe temple's dedica- tion, on the day when the ark of the covenant was placed within the holy of holies, "the glory of tho Lord filled the house of the Lord." It filled' all the house with a bright, cloud: it filled the house with the same ;majestic symbol as that which led the Israelites through the des- ert. as that which the prophet saw around the throne of God and as that which overshadowed our Lord when he talked with Moses and Elias on the mount of Trensfiguraelon. THE PHYSICAL BODY. The physical body, in the iirst place should be a strong temple. Xts chest should be broad and deep, its limits supple and sinewy, its nerves steady and like cords of steel, its heart beating with the regulcuity of a pumping automation; le should be made as strong as possible because all temporal and spiritual happiness depends to a great extent upon the physical body being in a healthy condition. 'When the soul laughs the body laughs; when the body weeps the eoul is very apt to weep. Thomas Jefferson, the sage of Monticello taught this when he wrote this very. suggestive letter to hie young kins- man, T. M. Randolph, Jr.' "With- out health there is no happiness. Our attention to bealth, then, should take precedence of every other object. The tinao necessary to soeure this by active exercise should he devoted to it in preference to every other pursuit. I know tho difficulty with which a busy man tears himself away from his work at ally given moment of the day, but hi$ happiness and that of his family depend epon it, The most uninform- ed mind, with a healthy body, is happier than the wiseet valetudinar- Ian." Good advice for Thornes Jef- ferson to give 100 years ago; just as good advice to give to the young People of the present day. MORAL CLEANLINESS. Tho temple of the Holy Spirit, in the next place, should be a clean body. There aro some men whose bodice are given over to moral filthi- ness. They are like sonie of the ancient heathen temples which wore avowedly dedicated to the deities of lust, drunkenness and debauchery, the existence of which. WAS a nation- al dishonor. The worship performed in those temples WaS SO vile that you could not describe it in public without bringing a blush of shame to every modest cheek and a de- mand for silenee from every modest Hp, The pictures hated on the walls of the eximined city of Pompeii shot,. that those temples were veritable charnel houses, where bats 'and owls and ecitorion birds gorged themselves on the accaying corpses of truth, purity end love. Lot the temple of your body he clean, as Christ want- ed the Jerusalem temple to be elute when he drove the traders out Oef. that 'temple, creing, "Is it, not welt - ten my houtte shall bo called of all natichs the house of Mayer, lett yo have made it a dee of thiceas?" clean es David Wanted ItiS physicel altar to bo clean when he uttered the ,agonizing prayer, "Wash me thor- oughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from any eina or that other A GONSUMING FIRES Have you. ever Been tt sitnctuery of brick and stone which has been de- dicated to God destroyed by earth- qualce or by fire? Weil 1 have. On a dark, stormy night X was awaken- ed in my /3rooklyn home by the rumbling of the fire engines. I heard a quick rap tit my door, as my sis- ter called: "Wake up! The Taber- nacle is in flameel" I hurriedly dressed and ascended to the cepola of our 'house, which overlooked the city. There the whole family were gathered. The air scooted charged and surcharged with electricity. 011 in the distance the public buildings of the city looked like the great white manatees of a celestial city, making by contrast tho scene raore dramatic, The church did not burn as other buildings seemed to burn, but its roof in its entirety was a mass of living coals. It looked like au altar, a hugo altar upon which was being sacrificed the whole life's ministry of the noble father wbo stood by my side. Suddenly it swayed and shivered, like unto a dazed and dying man. "There it goes!" said mother. Yes, there it went. iVith one Itirch it was gone, while wo stood huddled together in the darkness. My father and I put on 0111' greatcoats and started out in the adorns. As we pushed through the crowds outside the guarding ropes wo found the congregation there assembled, not by the church bell, but by the freman's call. Some of the people were weeping and sob- bing rat though their boasts would break. Some of them had been bap, tized as children in that church. Some of them had found God there. Sonic of them had mourned beside their dead within those walls. Ala it is a sad sight to sue a cathedral or a city church or a little village meeting house destroyed by fire. But It will be infinitely sadder to see a human being, whose body might be a temple of the Holy Ghost, con - Burned by the fires of hicleous . pas- sions and appetites. Beware, 0 man, that you never desecrate tbat temple of your body or sacrifice on the altar of your heart which should be consecrated to God offerings to the demons of perdition. THE TEMPLE OF CHRIST. Tile temple ef the holy Spirit should have a beautiful body—beau- tiful in reference to 'ho glance of its eye, beautiful in the tone of its voice; beautiful as far as possible in reference to its apparel; beautiful as Sarah was beautiful, whose husband gave to her one of the sweetest aad yet courtliost of compliments when he turned aed in the quaint language of the oast said, "Thou ait a fair woman to look upon." If God Al- mighty 'demanded that the children of Israel thould give of tbeir gold and ell-eeland precious stones to beautify bia Jerusalem sanctuary surely tben we ought to try to beau- tify bis temple oi the Holy Ghost. "But," says some man, "1.010 can I beautify my physical bodY 7 grant that X need not be slovenly or unkempt in apparel, lett 1 ilo not grant that can change my looks.

Galen was converted from atheism by studying the won- derful construction, of a human skel- eton, But the movement of a joint in a skeleton is not nearly so won- derful to me as the fact that the skeleton of IL elan who 'died when he was seventy years of age represents at least ton distinct slceletouse which at different periods of his e.xistence walked around under the same man's personality.

This is the vsay the law Tumut is only a, little village, and its 110.1110 appears on very few maps. Some years ago the best foreign map of Australia showed where the town is situated, but curiously enough the latest edition of this map, issued early this year, omits the town. The able geogiapher who supervised the revision of the map had no idea of the distinction that WAS to be con- ferred upon the little hamlet, and apparently omitted the 3183E0 in or- der to make the topography of that region clearer. A lalge town or city will, of course arise at Tumut if it wins. Splendid federal buildings will be reared, and Tumut will owe its greatness to its Political prominence. It would not have been possible to select' a centrally situated site for the federal capital convenient to all the States of the Commonwealth. Such a situation would have been in the middle of the Australian de- sert.

A table is for supply and communion. The Holy Spirit ever filled Rim, and that without measure. He was anointed with the Holy Ghost sad with power. All the days of Nis sojourn upon mall He lived in the consciousness of Ilis Father's goodness and mercy, saying, "The Father sent rife, and I live by the Father; I do always those things that please Him" (John vi., 57; viii., 20). Even when on earth Ho dwelt in Heaven and spoke of Him- self as "the Son of Men who i$ hi heaven" (John iii., 18). Having seen something pf the refer- ence of the psalm to eldist, the be- liever can the better apply it to himseLf, 101' by faith in Hian we be- come identified with Him in His sufferings and His glory, "He shell feed His flock like a shepherd." and He says, "Ye, my flock, the Limas of my pasture, are men 111161 I am your God" (Isa. xi. 11; izek. xxxiv., 14, 81). He is the Good Shepherd whe gave His lifo for the sheep; the Groat Shepherd, risen from the dead and in everlasting covenant with the Fa- ther concerning the sheep, and the chief Shepherd who will reward the faithful at His appearing (John ea, 11; gab. xiii, 20, 21; I Pet. v, 4). On tho authority of Rom. via, 32, and Phil. iv, 19, the redo:geed of 'the Lord con never lack anything that they really need, but Hie is too wise to give us all 'WO wont or ask for because we often ask unwisely (Jas. iv, 3). Rest and peace Be gives to all who are His if they w81 let Hem. "I will give you rest," "Sely peace I give unto you," are His own words (Matt. xi, 28-80; John xiv. 27), and even thatagb outwardly tribulation may be 0111. portion, yet in Him we can always have peace (John xvi, 88). When sheep lie down in green pastures they have evidently eaten eneugh; they are satisfied, for He lilt- eth and satisfleth as when He fed the 5,000 and the 4,000 (Ps. esdio 9; 20(3(0. 8). While His sheep can never pariah (John x, 28, 29), they may wander away from His kind care and need to be sought out and restored (Peek. XXXiV.,. 12), so David prayed "Re- store unto MC 1,110 joy of Thy salve - elan" (Pe. it, 12). There can be ne fellowship with Him except in the way of eightecoutness, that which ie right In 1-Iis sight, but in such wnys llle delights to lead His willing ones. He is ever with es all the days, night and day, caring for us every moment,. the Father of morceee and the God of all comfort, comforting us that we may comfort others, and while our whole sojourn 021 eathlt 111 the mortal body may truly be sold to be in the valley of the shadow of death, all the journey is made light by Has peceence, and if death itself should tourh nee lake 318 out of the mertal body He would not fail us, and we sbould and it Met a Step into immediate twosome, absent from tbe body, present with 'the Lease (Gen, xxviii, 15; Mate. xxviii, 20; Ise. xxvii, 3; IX Om' 1, 3; v, 8), While the imam refers primarily to Christ, its eeeencittry reference is pro- bably to lerael 111 millennial days, and eat each believer may Iled portion.
