Dr. Talmage preached from the follow-
ing words: "And He mild, Amos, what
eeest thou? And I said, a basket of
Simmer fruit,"-Am,os vile. 2,
A sLout-chested, swarthy -limbed,
brave -hearted man was called out to
rebuke Israel. Ills name was 'Amos.
Ie bad been brought up amid sheep
and cattle, and in addition to his oc-
cupation as herdsman, be had the busi-
ness of gathering sycamore -fruit -a
very difficult business, because, if the
fruit were not properly ripened, lend
just before its maturing it were not
punctured with tbe teeth or an Iron
comb, then the fruit would be bitter
and thoroughly unpalatable. Ilaving

es, figs; but I do know that God meant

the troth that spiritual blessing, like
summer fruit, must be used immedi-
ately, or it will perish,
Many of you remember, a few yeara
ago, when the peach crop suddenly
ripened, and all Lhe rad .trains and
seeumers coming to our, city were lad-
ened with the delicious product. The
fruit was dead ripe, and not able to
wait until the glutted markets were
cleared, and so there were hundreds of
tb;uusands of dollars' worth of the
fruit .thrown ince the streets, and into
the rivers, tend carted back again to
enrich the soil. G the perishable na-
ture of summer !rule. It is so much
like our spiritual blessings, which
must be used immediately, or never
used at all. , To -night, instead of hav-
ing you wandering around as through
the stalls of an vesr•'icultnral fair, I
would bare you, with profound and
agitated feelings of soul, look upon
this/text as depicting your kat Chance
for heaven, tis it is all suggestively:

left the mark of its sting. The work
of decay hats begun, and the full basket
of human lite will soon bo emptied into
the trench of the grave. When 1 first
became anxious about my stout, there
was a soliloquy I read in Doh•. Pike's

soliloquy on this very subject, It re-
presented a man dying; and as he was

struck, the man wus startled, and be
cried out: "0 time, it is fit that thou

benefit from that "basket of .summer
fruit," get it now, 01' get it never.
Some of you do not know what it is

father or a Christian mother. I too,
In five minutes you will think of all
the unkind words you ever said to

but you cannot make anything atteaa-
t.ire out of it. It is teouWe, and no-
thing but tro011.h:. for those who sit and
sigh 'with the cons0io0alness that these
dear lips will never pray for you again,
arid tla038 lips will never sympathize

alive With their Christian influences,

They are ripe for heavou and cannot

will soon bo gone.
So also ibis, my friends, with all
God's offers of mercy end salvation.
Are you toeniglxt under the infatuation
that those privileges are going to bo
rnntin tied ? O no. Every opportunity
of salvation seems to be, restless until
it gets uway from ug. Going away, the
sermons; going 11W117, the songs; go-
ing away, the strivings ,of God's Eter-
nal Spirit. The fruits of immortal life,

God every summer (lootol's the ailments
of the world by the orchards and
groves. The falling of the orchards
re a license to all kinds of diseases, and
plenty of fruit ordinarily means im-
mewed sanitary condition. So this
Gospel means health. IL makes 0 man

tions. It thrills the soul with glories

lity. It helped Paul to stand un -
blanched on the deck of the founder-
ing corn ship, and it helped Luther nail
his defiant "Theses" against the door
of the electoral college, the thump-
ing! of his hammer echoing through all
the ages. It bus helped Len thousand
souls to spring through flood and fire
to glories immortal. 0, It is a nntex-
thy Gospel Mighty in itself it makes
men mighty. 1t gives one over -mast-
ering power in the day of trouble. The
Church cries out to Christ in the Can-
ticles: "Comfort me with apples," and
eo lo -'night 1 shake down upon you a
whole orchard et fruit, while I read
.'that the fruits of the Spirit are love,
joy, peace, pittance, brotherly kindness,
charity. Gather it up from the
ground -large, round, luscious, Take
it home with you -"a basket of sum-
mer cruet,"
1 notice that the analogy also is
found in the fact that summer fruit is
pleasant to the eye and the taste, ee
the Gospel, whin a Ivan rightly sees it
and tastes it, is very pleasant. Wheth-
er Mintier fruit be piled up in the
orchard, or on the barn floor, 0r on
the platter of the table, the comming-
ling of green, and gold, an red, and
brown, in the oboek of the fruit, is very
fascinating. You know that some
eructs deal chiefly with pictures of
fruit; and while Oorrogio delights to
&retell 0701081 beauty, and .Turner
drops the .sea -loam on the canvas, and
Cuyp drives up his cattle at evening
tido, and Rosa 13onheur catches by the
halter the rearing steeds at the "Horse
I Fair," end Edwin Landseer whistles u$
the dogs, there are many of our modern
painters who are putting all their pow'»
ex on fettle pieces, and I do not wonder
at it. There Is a beauty ineleseribable.
So it is with Ilia Gospel of Christ. It
charms the young and the old, the
well and lithe sick, the wise and the
Ignorant. It has the glitter of
the ,'ave, the aroma of flowers,

YEARS OF SUFFERING.
illi'. Geo. F. Everett, a highly re-
spected and well known farmer of
Faar Fall, Victoria Co., N. B., makes
the following statement : - "Some
years ago while working in a barn I
lost my balance and fell from a beam
badly injuring my back. ;For years I
suffered with the injury and at the
same time doing all I could to remove
it, but in vain. I at last gave up 'hopes
and stopped doctoring. \ly back had

Over it was almost impossihie to get
straightened up again. When 1•tvould
mow with a scythe for some little
time without stopping It would pain
me so that it seemed as if I could
scarcely endure it, and I would lean
on the handle of my soythe in order to
get ease and straighten up, At other
times I would be laid up entirely. Aft-
er some years of suffering 1 was advis-
ed to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
decided to try one box. Before I had
finished it Inter the pills were helping
me. I bought six boxes more end the
seven boxes completely oared me. It
is three years since 1 took them and
my bark has not troubled 1110 since.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an in-
valuable medicine and I highly recom-
mend them to any person suffering
likewise. I consider that if 1 had paid
710 a box for them, they would be a
cheap medicine." 1
Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, 1alcomotor ataxia,
nervous headache, nervous prostra-
tion, and diseases depending upon hum-
ors in the blood, such as scrofula,

VERIFICATION OF ANNUAL REPORT.
u The examination shows that the Company's last annual statement
was substantially correct. The variations in certain of the figures as
between those contained in the report and those shown by the examina-
tion are so trivial as not to warrant a reference to these differences in
this report." —Report of ISAAC VANDERPo1I., Chief Examiner.
BOOKS PROPERLY KEPT. of its transactions.
The method now In vogue in the recording
from day to day, may be said to be a concise, explicit and thoroughly
intelligent method of bookkeeping. The condition of the books material-
ly expedited the work of checking back entries with original vouchers
ana lessened the time which would otherwise have been necessary to
make the examination as thorough as I believe it has been."
—Report of ISAAC VARDERPosl., Chief Examiner.
ASSOCIATION SOLVENT AND EVERY HONEST DEATH
CLAIM PAID IN FULL.
"The result of the examination shows that the Assooiation le
solvent and pays in full every death claim that Is a proper Charge
upon the mortuary funds contributed by the members, and that,
in every ease of settlement or compromise, the character of the
claim has been such as to mate it the duty of the management to
protect the members against unjust demands.''—t'Ioport of Hon.
