'Washington, Deo. 19,—The throngs
Cainigyg to Dr, Talmage's preaching eer-
vices at, Usenet P1'esbyteriam, church
are all the time increasing and far be-
yond the capacity of hie church to hold.
In, this serene by discusses a subject
ettmes(i'ng to all—viz, "The Geology
of the Blble; or, God 'Among the
Rocks," The text Is D'. Samuel vi,
6, 7; "And when they camp to Nachon's
threshing floor Uzzah put tenth his
band to the ark of God and Look bold
1 of it; for the oxen .book it. And the
anger of elle Lord was kindled against
17zzab. and God emote hem there for
hes error, and there he died by the ark
of God."
A band of tousle is coming down the
road, comets blown, timbre's struck;
harps thrutinmed,rpnnd cymbals clapped,
aril ledon byDavrd, who waselmsolf a
musician. They are ahead of a wagon en
wIhioh is the enema box called the ark.
Thle yoke of oxen drawing the wagon
ineporiled it. Same critics say that the

drivers goad, but my k,nowlodge of

Y
day they see ak shadow of a tree or
wall, they are apt to suddenly shy off
to get the coolness of the sbadow. I
think these oxen so suddenly turned
].at the skwrefl. box seemed about to
upset and be th•rasvn to the ground.
Uzzah rushed forward and laid hold oil
the ark to keep it upright. But he
had. nn rig•-bt to do so. A special com-
mand had been !given by the Lord tbat
DID ono cavo the priest under any oir-
numstanlces should touch that box.
*Nervous and excited and 'irreverent
l9'zznb1 disobeyed wben ho took hold of
the ark, and he died as a consequence.
In all ages, and never more so than
in our day i there ars good people all
the Limp afraid that the Holy Bible,
which is the sacred ark of our time,
well be upset, and .they have been a
long while afraid that srionce, and
especially geology, would overthrow
Lt. '
While we are ,not forbidden to touch
the holy hook and, on the aonLrary, are
urged to fondle and study it, any one
who is afraidof the overthrow or the
book is greatly offending the Lord with
ills uobalier. :the oxen have not yet
been yoked. which can upset that ark
of the world's salvation,. Written by
the Lord Almighty, he is going to pro-
tect it until ha mission is fulfilled and
there shall be no inure need of a Bible
because all its prophecies will have
been filfilled. and the human race will
have exchanged worlds. A trumpet
and a violin are very different in -i
striunents, but they may be played in
perfect accord. So the Bible account
of the cr'eatien of the world and the
geological acooun,t are different—one
ptory written un parchlrnenb and the
ether on rho rocks and yet in perfect
sad eternal accord. The word "day,"
Irepeated in the first chapter of Genesis,
nas thrown into paroxysms of criticism
many exegetes. The 1ebrew word
",yon" of the Bible means sometimes
whet we call a day, and sometimes it
tnean egos. It may mean 24 hours or
100,000,000 years. The order of crea-
tion as written in the book of Genesis
Is the order of creation discovered 'by
ecologists' crowbar. So many Uzzah*
have been nervau&ly rushing about for
fear the strong ozen of scientific dis-
lovery would upset the Bible that I
went somewhat apprehensively into the(
Matter, when I found that the Bible I
find geology agree in saying that first
were built the rooks, then the plants
greened the ekL1t

tures were created mad from minnow to

There is no fight at all. But is not
the geological impression that the
world was millions of years building
antagonistic to the theory of one
week's creation in Genesis? No. A
great house is to he built. A man
takes years to. draw to the spot the
foundation stone and the heavy tim-
bers. The house is about done, but it
is not finished for doanforbalhe resi-
dence. Sucldenty the owner calls in
uphuistaxers, plumbers, gas fitters,
paper hangers, and in one week it is
reedy for occupancy.
But for years good people feared geo-

But you do not, really believe that

the greatest tragedy of all the con-.
entries—the assassination olj the Son of
God.
,13at you do not really believe that
story of the( burning of our world at
the last day? Geology digs down and
finds that Mei world is already on fire
and that the centre of this globe is
incandescent, molten, volcanic,: a burn-
ing coal, burning' out toward the sur-
face, and the internal fires have so far
Pulled the outside rim that I do not
see bony the world is to keep from Dona-'
plete conflagration until the prophe-
cies concerning tit are fudfulled. The
lava pourer] forth from the mouths of
Vesuvius, Mount Etna, and Cotopaxi
and Kilauea le only the regurgitation
from an awful inflammation thousands
of miles deep. There are mines in Pen-
nsylvania and in, several parts of the
world that have been on fire for many �
years. These coal mines burning down
and the internal fires of the earth
burning up, after awhile these two'
fires, the descending and the ascend -I
ing, will meet, and then will oceur the
universal conflagration of w'bioh
the Bible speaks when it says, "The
elements shall melt with fervent
heat, the earth also, and the works
that are therein, shall be burned
up "
Instead of disbelieving the Bible
story about the final contiagration,,
since I have looked a little into gee-,
logy, finding that' its explorations are
all in' thcl line of confirmation of that
Prophecy, I wonder how this old craft
of a world can keep sailing on much'
longer. It is, -like a ship on fire at
sea, the foot that the hatches are kept
down the only, reason that it dtea not
become one complete blaze—masts on
fire, ratline on fire, everything from
cutwater to taffrail on fire. After
geology has told; us how near the in-
ternal fires have, already burned their
way toward the surface, it ought not
to be a surprise to us at any time
to hear the ringing of the fire bells
of c1 universe!. conflagration. 'Oh, I
am so glad that geology has been born!
Astronomy is grand because it tells
us about other worlds. But I must say
that I am more interested in our
world than in any other world, and
geology tells us' all about what it was,
its cradle and, what; will be its grave.

itself more and more the friend of

Tee geology of the Bible shows that
our religion is not a nasnby pamhy,
nerveless, dilettantish religion. 1t
seas projected and has been protected
by the God. of the rooks. Religion a
beim? Oh; yes. Religion a soothing
power? Oh, yes:. Religion 41 beautiful
sentiment? Oh, yes. But we must have
a God of the rocks, a mighty God to
defend an omnipotent God to achieve
a force able to overcome all other
forces in the universe. Rose of Sharon
and Lily of the Valley is he, combina-
tion of all gentleness and tenderness
and sweetness? 01. yes. But if the
mighty forces now arrayed for the
destruction of the nations are to be
met and conquered, we must have a
God of the rocks. The "Lion of
Jndah's tribe," as well as the "Lamb
Milo was slain." One hundred and ,
thirty times does the Bible speak of
the rook nes defense, as armament, as
refuge, as overpowering strength'. D
vid, the psalmist, lived among the
rooks, and they reminded him of the
Almighty, and he ejaoulates "The
Lord liveth; blessed be nay rock."
"Lead me to the rock that is higher
than 1." And then, as if his prayer
had been answered, he feels the
Itrength. come into his soul, and he
cries out, "Tthe Lord is my rock," "Ile
shall set me up upon a rook."
Weald the Bible present a sublime
picture of motherly desperation in de-
fence of her children, it shows us Rim-
pah on the rock for three months with
disheveled hair and wild screams legat-
ing back vultures and jackals from
Mlle corpses of her sons, Would the,
Bible see fortis the hardness of the
heart and the power of gospel to ov-

CAN KOOTENAY CURB RHEUMATISM?,
This is a question which has agitated the
minds of thousands of Canadian citizens.
The answer is contained in the testimony
which comes from all parts of the country,
from all classes of people, and never before
is the medical history of Canada has there
been such a popular flood of testimony as
that which has poured into the Ryckman
Medicine Co.'s offices at Hamilton during
the last year.
Rheumatic sufferers who have doctored
for yearswith the best physicians, and under-
gone hospital treatment to no purpose, declare
themselves cured by Kootenay. Limbs that
have for months at a time been warped and
twisted by the fetters of rheumatism are
released .by the action of Kootenay Cure.
new s
The ' ingredient nt which enters into its
. g
composition reaches the old stubborn and
chronic cases and leads the sway to speedy
recoverYr causing discerning physicians who
have watched its cures to admit that k is
a "miracle worker'." Read the testimony in
which the convincing ring of truth is sealed
by sworn statements. It is the only tree
cure for rheumatism on earth.
