The Victory They Signify—A 1.nique and
Eloquent Presentation of the Palm
Leaves Strewn Along Life's Pathway
—
The Everlasting Palm, Sunday.
BROOKLYN. N.Y., April 10, 1892.—This
day is recognized as Palm Sunday through-
out the.world, and that fact gave direction
to Dr, Talmage's sermon. Among the
hymns sung was the hymn,
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor paints in every band.
Text : John 12 : 13, "They took branches
of palm trees and went forth to meet Him."
How was that possible? How could palm
branches be cast in the way of Christ as he
approached Jerusalem ? There are scarcely
any palm trees in central Palestine. Even
the one that was carefully guarded for many
years at Jericho has gone. I went over the
very road by which Christ approached Jeru-
salem, and there are plenty of olive trees
and fig trees, but no palm trees that I could
see. You must remember that the climate
has changed. The palm tree likes water,
but by the cutting down of the forests,
which are leafy prayers for rain, the land
has become unfriendly to the palm tree.
Jericho once stood in seven miles of palm
grove. Olivet was . crowned with palms.
The Dead Sea has on its banks the trunks
of palm treea that floated down from some
old-time palm grove andare preserved from
decay by the salt which they received from
the Dead Sea. Let woodmenspare the trees
of America, if they would not ruinously
change the climate and bring to the soil
barrenness, instead of fertility. Thanks to
God and the Legislatures for Arbor -Day,
which plants trees, trying to atone for the
ruthlessness which has destroyed them.
Yes, my text is in harmony with the condi-
tion of that country on the morning of Palm
Sunday. About three million people have
come to Jerusalem to attend the religious
festivities. Great news ! Jesus will enter
Jerusalem to -day. The sky is red with
the morning, and the people are flocking
out to the foot of Olivet, and up and on
over: the southern shoulder of the moun-
tain, and: the procession coming out from
the city meets the procession escorting
Christ, as he comes toward the city.
There is a. turn in the road, where Jern-
salem suddenly bursts upon the vision. -
We had ridden that day all the way from
Jericho, and had visited the ruins -of the
house of Mary and Martha and Lazarus,
and were somewhat weary of sight seeing,
when there suddenly arose before our
vision Jerusalem, the religious capital of
all Christian ages. That was the point of
observation where my text comes in.
As the colt with its rider descends the
slope of Olivet, the palm trees lining the
road are called upon to render their con-
tribution to the scene of welcome and re-
joicing. The branches of these trees are .
high up, • and some must needs climb the
trees and tear off the leaves and throw
them down, and others make of these leaves
an emerald pavement for the colt to tread
on.
Long before that morning the palm tree
had been typical of triumph. Herodotus
and Strabo had thus described it. Layard
finds the palm leaf cut in the walls of
Nineveh, with the same significance. In
the Greek athletic games the victors car-
ried palms, . 1 am very glad that our Lord,
who five days . after had thorns on His
brow, for a. little while at least had palms
strewn under his feet. Oh, the glorious
palm! Amarasinga, the Hindoo . scholar,
calls it "the . king among the grasses."
Linnaeus calls it "the prince of vegetation."
Among all the trees that ever cast a
shadow or yielded fruit or lifted their
arms toward heaven, it has no equal for
multitudinous uses. Do you want
flowers? One palm tree will put forth a
hanging garden of them, one cluster count-
ed by a scientist containing 207,000 blooms.
Do you want food ? It is the chief diet of
whole nations. One palm in Chili will
yield 90 gallons of honey. In Polynesia it
is the chief food of the inhabitants. In
India there are maltitudes of people de-
pendent upon it for sustenance. Do you
want cable to hold ships or cords to hold
wild beasts ? It is wound into ropes un-
breakable. Do yon want articles of house
furniture ? It is twisted into mats and
woven into baskets and shaped into drink-
ing cups and swung into hammocks. Do
you want medicines ? Its nut is the chief
preventive of disease and the chief cure for
vast populations. Do you want houses?
Its wood furnishes the walls for the homes
and its leaves thatch them. Do you need
a supply for the pantry ? It yields sugar
and starch and oil and sago and milk and
salt and wax and vinegar and candles.
Oh, the palm ! It has a variety of en-
dowments, such as no other growth that
ever rooted the earth or kissed the heavens.
To the willow, God . says :—"Stand by the
water -courses and weep." To the cedar,
He. says :—"Gather the hurricanes into
your bosom." To the fig tree, He says :—
"Bear fruit, and put it within reach of all
the people." But to the palm tree, He
soya :—"Be garden and storehouse and
wardrobe and rope -walk and chandIery and
bread and banquet and manufactory
and then, be type of what I meant when
I inspired David, My servant, to say :—
"The righteous shall flourish like a palm
tree.' Oh, Lord. God, give us more
palm trees—men an women made for
nothing but to be useful ; dispositions all
abloom branches of influence laden with
fruit ; people good for everything, as the
palm tree. If kind words are wanted, they
are ready to utter them. If helpful deeds
are needed, they are ready to perform
them. If plans of usefulness are to be
laid out, they are ready to project them.
If enterprises are to be forwarded, they are
ready to lift them. People who say, "Yes,
Yes !" when they are asked for assistance
Ly word or deed, instead of "\o No !"
Most of the mysteries that bother others
do not bother me, because I adjourn them,
but the mysteries that really bother me is
why God made so many people who
amount to nothing so far as the world's
betterment is concerned. They stand in
the way. They object. They discuss
hindrances. They suggest possibilities of
'failure. Over the road of life, instead of
pulling in the traces, they are lying back
in the breechings. They are the everlast-
ing No. They are bramble trees ; they are
willows, always mourning, or wild cherry
trees, yielding only the bitter, or crab ap-
ple tree, producing only the sour, while
God would have us all flourish like the
palm tree. Planted in the Ellie that tree
always means usefulness. But, how little
hill of us or all of us accomplish in that
(mentors. eve take twenty or thirty years
to get fully ready for Christian work,. and
in the afterpart of life we take ilten or
twenty years for the gradual cloesing of
active work, and that leaves only so little
time between opening and stopping work
that all we accomplish is so little; an angel
of God needs to exert himself to see it at
all. Nearly everythini I see around, be-
neath and above in the natural world sug-
gests useful -service. If there is nothing in
the Bible that inspires you to usefulness,
go out and study the world around you
this spring -time and learn the great lesson
of usefulness. "What art thou doing up
there, little star ? Why not shut thine eye
and sleep, for who .ares for thy shining ?"
"No," saith the star, "I will not sleep. I
guide the sailor on the sea. I cheer the
traveller among the mountains.. I help tip
the dew with light. Through the window
of the poor man's cabin I cast a beam of
hope, and the child on her mother's. lap
asks in glee, whither I come, and what I
do, and whence I go. To gleam and flitter,
God set me here. Away 1 I have no time
to sleep." The snowflake comes straggling
down. "Frail, fickle wanderer, why earnest
thou here?" "I am no idle wanderer," re -
spends the snowflake. "High up in the air
I was born, the child of the rain and the
cold, and at the divine behest I come, and I
am no straggler, for God tells me where to
put my crystal heel. To help cover the
roots of the grain and the grass, to cleanse
the air, to make 'sportsmen more happy and
the ingle fire more bright I come. .Though
so light I am that you toss me from your
muffler and crush me under your foot, I am
doing my best to fulfil what I was made
for. Clothed in white I come on a heaven-
ly mission, and, when my work is done and
God shall call, in morning vapor I shall go
back, drawn by the fiery courses of the
sun." "What dost thou, insignificant grass
blade under my feet ?" I am doing a work,"
says the grass blade, "as best I can. I help
to make up. the soft beauty of field and
lawn. 1 am satisfied if, with millions of
others no bigger than I, we can give pas-
ture to the flocks and herds. I am wonder-
fully made. He who feeds the ravens gives
me sustenance from the soil and breath
from the air, and He who clothes the lilies
of the field rewards `me with this coat of
green."
Notice that it was a beautiful and lawful
robbery of the palm tree that helped make
up Christ's triumph on the road to Jerusa-
lem that Palm -Sunday. The long, broad,
green leaves tbit were strewn under the
feet of the colt, and in the way of Christ
were torn off from the trees. Wha',. a pity,
someone might say, that those stateley and
graceful trees should be despoiled. The
sap oozed out at the places where the
branches broke. The glory of the palm tree
was appropriately sacrificed for the Saviour's
triumphal procession: So it always was, so
it always will be in this world—no worthy
triumph of any sort without the tearing
down of something else.
The ging om of God advances in all the
earth, but it ust be over the lives of mis-
sionaries who ie of malaria in the jungles,
or Christian w rkers who preach and pray
and toil and die in the service. The Saviour
triumphs in all directions—but beauty and
strength must be torn down from the palm
trees of Christian heroism and consecration
and thrown in His pathway. •To what bet-
ter use could those palm trees on the south-
ern shoulder of Mount Olivet, and clear
down into the Valley of Gethsemane, put
their branches than to surrender them for
the making of Christ's journey toward
Jerusalem the more picturesque, the more
memorable -and the more triumphant? And
to what better use could we put our lives
than into the sacrifice for Christ and His
cause and the happiness of our fellow crea-
tures ? Shall we not be willipg to be torn
down that righteousness shall have tri-
umphant way ? Christ was torn down for
us. Can we not afford to be torn down for
Him ? If Christ could suffer so much for us,
can we not suffer a little for Christ. If He
can afford on Palm Sunday to travel to
Jerusalem to carry a cross, can we not
afford a few leaves from our branches to
make emerald, His way ?
The process is going on every moment in
all directions. What makes that father
have.such hard work to find the hymn to-
day ? He puts on his spectacles and holds
the book close up and then holds it far off,
and is not quite sure whether thehymn is
150 or 130, and the fingers with which he
turns the leaves are very clumsy. He
stoops a good deal, although once he was
straight as an arrow, and his eyes were'
keen as a hawk's, and the hand he offered
to his bride on the marriage day was of
goodly shape and as God "made it. I will
tell you what is the matter. Forty years
ago he resolved his family should have no
need, and his.children should be well edu-
cated, and suffer none of the disadvantages
of lack of schooling which he had suffered
for a life time, and that the wolf of hunger
should never put his paw on his door sill,
and for forty or fifty years he has been
tearing off from the palm tree of his phy-
sical strength and manly form branches to
throw in the pathway of his household. It
has cost him muscle and brain and health
and eyesight, and there have been twisted
off more years from his life than any man
in the crowd on the famous Palm Sunday
twisted off branches from the palm trees on
the road from Bethphage to Jerusalem.
What makes that niother look so much
older than she really is? You say she
ought not to have one gray line in her hair.
The truth is, the family was not always as
well off as now. The married hair had a
hard struggle at the start. Examine the
tips of the forefinger and thumb of her
right hand, and they will tell you the story
of the needle that was plied day in and day
out. Yea, look at both her hands, and they
will tell the story of the time when she did
her own work, her own mending and scrub-
bing and washing. Yea, look into the tace
and read the story of scarlet fevers and
croups and midnight watcliings when
none but God and herself in that house
were awake; and then the burials and
the loneliness afterward, which was more
exhausting than the preceding watering
had been, and no one now to put. to bed.
How fair she once was, and as graceful as
the palm tree, but all the branches of her
strength and beauty were long ago torn off
and thrown into the pathway of her house-
hold. Alas ! that sons and daughters
themselves so straight and graceful and
educated, should ever forget that they are
walking to -day over the fallen strength of
an industrious and honored parentage. A
little ashamed, you are, at their ungram-
matical utterance? It seas through their
sacrifices that you learned accuracy of
speech. Do you lose patience with them
because they are a little, querulous and
complaining ? I guess you have forgotten
how querulous and complaining you were
when you were getting over that whooping
cough or that intermittent fever s Pette
annoyed, are you, because her 'hearing is
poor and you have to tell her something
twice ? She was not always hard of hear-
ing. When you were two years old your
first call for a drink at midnight woke her
from a sound sleep as quick as any one
will waken at the trumpet call of the resur-
rection.
Oh, my young lady, what is that under
the sole of your fine shoe ? It is a palm
leaf which •was torn off the trees of
maternal fidelity. Young merchant,
young lawyer, young journalist, young
mechanic, with good salary and fine
clothes and refined surroundings, have
you forgotten what a time your father
had that winter, after the summer's crop
had failed through droughts or floods or
locusts, and how he wore his old coat too
long and made his old hat do, that ho might
keep you at school or college ? What
is that, my young man, ander your fine
boot to -day, the boot that so well fits your
foot, such a boot as your father could
never afford to wear ? It must be a leaf
from the palm tree of your father's: self -
sacrifices. Do not be ashamed of him when
he conies to town, and, because his manners
are a little old-fashioned, try to smuggle
him in and smuggle him out, but call in
your best friends and take him to the house
of God and introduce him to -your pastor,
and say : "This is my father." 1 f he had
kept for himself the advantages which he
gave you, he would be as well educated and
as well gotten up as you. When in the
English Parliament a member was making
a great speech that was unanswerable, a
lord cried out, "I remember when you black-
ened my father's boots !" "Yes," replied
the man, "and did I not do it well ?"
Never be ashamed of your early surround-
ings. Yes, yes, all the green leaves we walk
over were torn off some palm tree. I
have cultivated the habit of forgetting the
unpleasant things of life, and I chiefly
remember the smooth things, and as far as
I remember now my life has for the moot
part moved on over a road soft with green
leaves. They were torn off two palm trees
and stood at the start of the road. The
prayers, the Christian eljrample, the good
advice, the hard work of my father and
mother. How they Wiled ! Their fingers
were knottod with hard work. Their fore -
wrinkled with many cares.
stooped from carrying our
heads were
Their backs
burdens.
They long ago went into slumber among
their kindred and friends oa the banks of
the Raritan, but the influences they threw
in the way of their children are yet green
as loaves the moment they are plucked
from a palm tree, and we feel them on our
brow and under our feet and they will
strew all the way until we lie down in the
same slumber. Self-sacrifice ! What a
thrilling word. Glad am I that our world
has so many specimens of it. The sailor
bey on shipboard was derided because he
would not fight or gamble, and they called
him a coward. But, when a child fell
Jt
overboard and no one else was ready to
help, the derided sailor leaped into the sear
and, though the waves were rough, the
sailor swimming with one arm carried the
child on the other arm, till rescued and
rescuer were lifted into safety, and the cry
of coward ceased and all huzzaed at the
scene of daring and self-sacrifice.
My hearers, the time will come when
upon the whole Church of God will de-
scend such an avalanche of blessing, and
then the beginning of the world to God
will be a matter of a few years, perhaps
a few days, or a few hours. Ride on,
O Christ-! for the evangelization of all
nations. Thou Christ who didst ride on
the unbroken colt down the sides of Oli-
vet, on the white horse of eternal victory
ride through all nations, and may we,
by our prayers and our self -sacrifices
and our contributions and our consecra-
tion, throw palm branches in the way. I
clap my hands at the coming victory. I
feel this morning as did the Israelites
when, on their march to Canaan, they
came not under the shadow of one palm
tree, but of seventy palm trees, standing in
an oasis among a dozen gushing foun-
tains, or as the Book puts it : "Twelve
wells of water and three score and ten
palm trees." Surely there are more than
seventy such great and glorious souls pre-
sent to -day. Indeed it is a mighty grove
of palm trees, and I feel something of the
raptures which I shall feel when,. our last
battle fought and our last burden carried
and our last tears wept, we shall become
one of the multitudes St. John describes
"clothed in white robes and palms in their
hands." Hail, thou bright, thou swift -ad-
vancing, thou everlasting Palm Sunday of
the skies ! Victors over sin and sorrow
and death and woe, from the hills and val-
leys of the heavenly Palestine, they pluck-
ed the long, broad, green leaves, and all the
ransomed—some in gates of pearl, and some
on battlements of amethyst, and some on
streets of gold, and some on seas of sapphire,
they shall stand in numbers like the stars,
in splendor like the morn, waving their
palms !
Certain Statistics About Sugar.
Following are some interesting statistics
of the rapidly developing augur industry of
Argentina : The area of the cane planta-
tions
this year is 42,500 acres, which, at
the usual rate of production, will yield 1,-
879,000,000 pounds of Bane. The area of
cultivation in 1889 was 34,250 acres, and
the yield was 1,507,000 pounds of cane.
The gross value of the crop this year is
estimated at 812, 750,000 as compared with
$6,165,000 in 1889. There are thirty-six
sugar factories representing a capital value
of about $20,000,000 in gold. The actual
production in 1889 was 77,000,000 pounds,
and this year's yield is estimated at 99,000,-
000 pounds, or 82,500 hogsheads.—New

—John Ormiston, a well-known and re-
spected citizen of Woodstock, died on Satur-
day from paralysis. He came to Woodstock
in 1854 from Roxboroughshire, Scotland,
where ho was born in 1831. He has lived
retired for the past 11 years. He took an
active interest in the Horticultural Society
and the Board of Health. He was well read,
and was personally acquainted with some of
the characters portrayed in Sir Walter
Scott's novels.
—A year ago Francis Burk, a farmer of
Southern _Manitoba, advertised in the pa-
pers for a wife, and was accepted by Helen
Loder, of Londep, Ontario. They were
married at Winnipeg on July 24th last, but
their marriage wasean utter failure. The
young girl transferred her affections to
Burk's partner, Frederick Dale, and it was
mutually agreed that the first marriage cer-
tificate should be destroyed and a second
ceremony performed, Dale being the groom.
The Second ceremony was performed in Win-
nipeg last January, since which time Dale.
and his wife have lived happily. Two weeks
ago she was arrested for bigamy, being then
on the eve +of confinement. All three claim
that bigamy was committed purely through
ignorance of the law, which was undoubted-
ly the case.
