The Doctor's Sermon on ',The Soul's Crials"—Christ's Circular Letter to all Ages rind all Lands—"Seek le the Lord While- He May Be Pound." LoNnoa, July 24.—The attendance at the services conducted by the Rev. Dr. Tal- mage continue as great as ever. At every stopphig point during his preaching tour he is greeted by phenomenal audiences. Unless some change in the programme becomes necessary, he will, during the next ten days, preach hi the leading Scottish cities, as al- ready announced. He has just returned from Russia, whither he went with Mr. Klopsch to supervise the disteibution of the cargo of the Christian Herald relief steamer Leo. The reception accorded Dr. Talmage in the Czar's capital city by nobles, officials and the populace show that the hold he has upon the hearts of Christians is'as-orld-wide. On Friday the 22nd inst. he was presented to the Czar and imperial court at Peter- hof. He was escorted from his hotel by an equerry of the Czar, who was sent to St Petersburg for that purpose. On his ar- rival at Peterhof, Ds. Tahnage was received by the court chamberlain, who conducted him to the suite of apartments which had been set aside for the Brooklyn divine. Here Dr. Talmage rested for an hour, when he was promnted to the Emperor, who re- ceived him with the greatest cordiality, and who begged him to thank the Amemican people for their kindness and generosity in sending flour to the Russian famine suffer- ers. The two had a long conversation on political and religious subjects. Dr. Tal- mage was then presented in turn to the Empress and all the members of the im- perial family. Since his arrival in Russia Dr. Talmage has been the recipient of marked faVor from the nobility. He has been the guest of. a number of banquets given by the city authorities of St. Peters- burg and Moscow and the Government offi- cials, and has been heartily received by all classes. He left for Scotland on Friday night. The arrival of the Leo was made the occasion of general rejoicing. The Leo's cargo was forwarded to the famine aistricts without delay. The sermon selected for this week is entitled "The Soul's Crisis," from Isaiah, 55; 6:—"Seek ye the Lord while He may be found." Isaiah stands head and shoulders above the other Old Testament authors in vivid descriptiveness of Christ. If the prophecies in regard, to Christ might be called the "Oratorio of the Messiah," the writing of Isaiah is the "Hallelujah Chorus' where all the batons wave and all the trumpets come in. Isaiah was not a mara picked up out of insignificance by inspiration. He was known and honored. Josephus, and Philo, and Sirach extolled. Min in their writings. What Paul was among the apostles, Isaiah was among the prophets. My text fin& him standing on a moun- tain of inspiration, looking out into the future, beholding Christ advancing and =scions that all men might knew him; his voice rings dawn the ages :—"Seek 3-e the Lord while He may be found." "Oh," says som,e one, "that was for olden times.' No, my hearer. If yon have travelled in other lands you have taken a circular letter of credit from some banking house in London, and in St. Petersburg, or Vessaice, or Rome, s or Antwerp, or Brussels, or Paris, you pre- sented that letter and got financial help immediately. And I want you to under- stand that the text, instead of being a,ppro- priate for one age, for one land, is a cir- a.ges and for all lands, resented for help, the ye the Lord while He cular letter for and wherever it is help comes may be found. There are those wh. ., say: "I would like to become a Christian. i I have been wait- ing a good while for tl,fe right kind of influ- ence to come," andshill you are waiting. You are wiser in s -oddly things than you are in religious th ugs. And yet there are men who say the are waiting to get to Heaven—waiting, aiting, but not with in- telligent waiting, oa - they would get on board the line of Christian ' influences that would bear them ihto the kingdom of God. Now you know very well that to seek a thing is to search for it with earnest en- deavor. If you want to see a certain man in London and there is a matter of nitwit money connected with 3 -our seeing him, and you cannot at first find him, you do not give up the search. You look in the di- rectory, but cannot find the name, you go in circles where you think, perhaps, he may mingle, and, having found the part of the city where he lives, but perhaps not know- ing the street, you go through street after street, and from block to block, and . you keep on searching for weeks and for months. You say: -"It is a matter of SIO,000 whether I see him or not." 0 that men were as persistent in seeking Christ! Had von one-half that persistence you would long ago have found Him who is the joy of the forgiven spirit. We may pay our debts, we may attend church, we may re- lieve the poor, we May be public benefac: tors, and yet all our life disobey the text, never see God, never gain heaven. 0, that the spirit of God would help this trimming while I try to show you in carrying- out the idea of my text, first, how to seek the Lord, and in the next place, when to seek Him. "Seek ye the Lord, while He may be foma" I remark, in the first place,- you are to seek the Lord through earnest and believing prayer. God is not an autocrat or despot seated on a throne with his arms resting on brazen lions, and a sentinel racing up and down at the foot of the throne. God is a father seated in a bower, waiting for His children to come and climb on His kme,and get His kiss, and Tfis benediction. Prayer is the cup with which we go to the "foun- tain of living water," and dip up refresh- ment for our thirsty soul. Grace does not come to the heart as we set a cask of -water to catch the rain in the shower. It is a pulley fastened to the throne of God which we pull, bringing the blessing. Prayer is a. warm, ardent, pulsating exer: cise. It is the electric battery which, touched, thrills to the throne of God! It is the diving bell in which we go down into the depths of God's mercy and bring up "pearls of great price." There is an instance where prayer made the waves of Gennesaret - solid as granite pavement. Oh how many wonderful things prayer has accomplished ! Have you ever tried it? In the days when the Scotch Covenanters were persecuted, and the enemies, were after them, one ok the head men among the Covenanters prayed : "Oh Lord, we be as dead men un- less thou shalt help us. . -Oh Lord, thfaa, the lap of thy cloak over these poor altiea • ; And instantly a Scotch mist enveloptai aat hid the persecuted from their persecutor, the promise literati- f lfill " u ed : ht:. theyare yet speaking, I will hear.' Oh impenitent soul, have you ever t; the power of prayer? God says: "lie it loving and faithfid and patient." Do ea,: believe that? ou are tont that Cluase came to save sinners. Do you beleive tlats? You are told that all you have to do to get the pardon ot the Gospel, is to ask tor it, Do you believe that? Then come to aka and say: Oh Lord, I know Thou e.nst not lie. Thou. hast told me to come for pardon, and I could get it. I come, Lord. Keels thy, promise, and liberate my captive soul I remark, again, you must. seek the Loa, through Bible study. The Bible is the newest book in the world. "Oh," you itay, "it was made hundreds of years agoa and the learned men el& King James trans- lated it hundreds of years ago." I confute mat ltItA ni-telling you it is not minutes old, when God, by. His bles Spirit: retranslates it into the heart. you Will, in the seeking of the way of through Soripture study, implore Go 'light to fall upon the page, you will that these promises are not one second o and that theydrop straight from the thro of God into your heart. .There are many people to whom the Bi does not athount-to much. If they trier look at the outside beauty,,why" it will more lead them to Christ than Washi ton's farewell .address or the Koran -Mahomet or the Shaster of the Hindo It is the inward light of God's Word y must get or die. When people are anxious about th souls—and there are some such here toa —there are those who recommend go books. That is all right. But I want tell you that the Bible is the best book der such circumstance. • . A dying soldier said to his mate : "Co rade give Inc a drop!" The contrade sho up the canteen,' and- said :-"There hut' drop of water in'the canteen." "Oh," et the dying soldier, "that is -not what 1 mu feel in my knapsack for my Bible," and coinrade found the Bible and read him a f graciousspromisem, and the soldier said.: "Ah, that's what I want. There isn't an thing like the Bible for a dying soldier, there, my comrade?" 0 blessed book wh we -live. Blessed book when we.die. I. remark, again, we must seek G through church ordinances. "What," s you, "can't a man be saved without goi to church?" I reply, there are men, I su pose, in glory, who have -never seen church,. but the church • is the ordain means by which we are to be brought God; and if truth affects us when we a alone it affects us more tnightily when are in the assembly—the feeling of othe emphazing our -own feelings. The gre law of sympathy comes into play and truth that would • take .hold only with t grasp of'a sick man, beats mightily again the soul with a thousand heart throbs. When you come into the religious eircl -come only with one notion, and only f one purpose -to find the way to Chris When I see people critical about. sermon and critical about the tones of voice, an critical about sermonic delivery, they ma. me think of a man in prisen. He is coi demned to death, but an officer of t government brings a pardon and puts through the wicket of the prison, and say "Here is your pardon. Come and get it "What ! Do you expect me to take th pardon offered with such a voice as yo have, with such an tiw-kward manner as yo have? I would rather die than so compr mise my rhetorical notions !" Ah, 'the ma, does, not say that; he takes it! It is h life. He does not care how it is handed t him. And if, this morning, that pardo from the throne of God is offered to ot saute,: should we not seize it, regardless all criticism, feeling that it is a matter heaven or hell? But I come now to the last part of in text. It tells us whesi we are to seek ti Lord. "While -He may be found." Whe is -that? Old age? You nifty not see ol age. To -morrow? You may not see t morrow. To -night? You nutynot see t night. Now! 0, if I could onry write o every heart in three capital letters tha, word N -0 -W --Now l " Why defer this matter, 0 my dei hearer? Have you any idea that sin wi wear out? That it will evaporate? Tha it will relax its grasp? That you may fin relic -than as a man accidentally finds a los po&et-book? Ah, -no! No man ever became a Chris tian by accident or by the relaxing of sin The embarrassments are all the time in creasing. The hosts of darkness are re cruiting, and the longer you postpone thi matter the steeper the path will become I ask . those men who 'are before me (hi morning, whether, in the ten or fiftee years they have passed in the postpone ment of these matters, they have come cln. nearer God or heaven? Oh if men could only catch just on glimpse of Christ, I know they would lov him. You heart leans- at the sightof glorious sunrise or sunset. Can you b without emotion as the sun of Righteouenes rises behind Calvary, and sets behinc Joseph's sepulchre? He is a blessed Sav lour 1 "To -day, if ye will hear His voice, 'made' not your hearts." There is a way of oppos ing the mercy of God too lone, mid then there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin but a fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall .clevour the adver sary. My friends, -my neighbors, what cat I say to induce you to attend to this matter -to attend to it now. Time is flying, flying -the city clock joining my voice this morn- ing, seeming to say to you, "Now is the `time ! Now is the time !" 0 put it not off ! It is very certain that you and I must soon appear before God in judgement. We cannot escape it. The Bible says : " Every eye shall see Min, and they also which pierced him, and all tlie kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him." On that clay all our advantages will come up for our glory or our discomfiture -every prayer, every sermon, every exhortatory ren iark, every reproof, every call of grace; and while the heavens are rolling away like a scroll, and the world is being destroyed, your des- tiny and my destiny Will be announced. Alas! alas if on that day it is found that we have neglected these matters. We may throw them off now. We cannot then. We will all be in earnest then. . But no pardon then. NO offer of salvation then. No rescue then. Driven &Way in our wick- •edness-banished, exiled, forever! But I want you to take the hint of the text that I have no time to (Its -ell on -the hint that there is a time when he cannot be found. . There is a man in this city, eighty years of age, who said to a clergy- man who- came in, "Do you think that a man at eighty years of age can .get pardon- ed ?" "Oh, yes," said the clergyman. The old man said :-"I can't ; when I was twen- ty years -of age -I am now eighty .years - the Spirit of God cafne to my soul, and I felt the importance of attending to these things, but I put it off. I rejected. God, and since then I have .rhad no feeling." 'Well,'" said the • minister, "wouldn't you like to have me pray with you?" "Yes," replied the old MELII, "but it will do no good. You Can prat- with me if you like to." Thc: .ininister k.ilat down and prayed, and coin ,mentled the man's soul to. (4od. It -seemed, to have no effect upon him. After a while, the Last hour_ of the man's 1Ft; came, and through his delirium a spark of intelligence seemed 'to flash, and with his last breath he said : "I shall never be forgiven !" "0 seek the Lord while he may be found." .A Boston paper talks of a banjo whiCh has, "reached the ripe old age of fifty-six yeavs." It is certainly ripe enough to pick., -Yon - 1 8 Statemen. BONDED NCIVEUSTS. z1/2.11sher Tells About the Latest Hind of Fiction Writers. -^0 goes a bonded novelist.' .inaric was made by a well-known who understands the ins and laisioess thoroughly.

The publisher pro- ceeds oe ui theory that the books are trash, and if some collateral is not given the expense of publishinebthem will be too heavy for the house to bear. Iu order that no rani' understa.ndine may arise ae 'THE HURON EXPOSITOR. matters after the book is pnalishea, compels the author to execute a bond in tit° sum of eg500 with some good, responsi- able man's name attached. . The bond duly sets forth that if the book to be published does not have a sale sufficient to recompense :the publisher for his expense said signers of the bond shall_ be responsible in lawful currency of the republic for the amount named.. The bond usually has two signers, viz., the author and his backer. Many of the backers are rich uncles or aunts, some- times fathers who have confidence in the talent of their sons. It is only of late years that publishing houses have gone into the bonded buSiness." "The lifitcey of the- bonded novelist I mentioned will explain the working of the system. He has an imagination, but he is as devoid of literary ability as 24 goat. Five years ago he wrote it novel that had a most taking title, and he got an artist friend to -design a covering that was really artistic and originaL Armed with the title and the design of the book covering he went to a publisher.His novel was accept- ed on condition that he gave a bond of $500. He growled, but finally succeeded in getting an, illiterate friend from the west to go on his bond: - The illiterate friend had to pay about $300 of the bond and has lost faith in -fiction. But the author, who really lost nothing except his time, ' did not become discouraged. He continued to turn out novels and, strange to say, lie has succeeded in getting a bondman every time. On his second book he -made about $50 clear, and. that spurred him on to .write more novels. They are offered at the regular 10 per cent rovalty:"- "In case the puMsher has to take the $500 does he lose much money-? "No, he makes a little. -You see, the novels are printed in cheap editions, and if they are too long the publisher's head man deliberately cuts out several chapters. Of course he takes out those chapters that are more or less superfluous. The curious part about bonded navels is _that they always have four or five chapters 41evoted to `grinds' -in other Ivords, advertisements of some firm's business or 80111C man's vanity. Many of their .bondsmen are men who have their business advertised in the novels. "One man, I remember, had his hair oil advertized in bonded novel, and he, of course, went on the author's bond. The heroine, who was a western girl transplanted to the city, could not be- come chic until she had used' the -particular brand of hair. oil, and the millionaire, who after many. hairbreadth escapes marries her, kept his .hair oil ready for use on all oc- casions. Perfumery is often advertised by the bonded novelist. "I know of a summer hotel that waS ad- vertised in a bonded novel, and the book had quite a sale. `.17he hotel if located in a beautiful spot in the mountains, and the author was permitted to remain two sum- mers as a star boarder or guest, , free, for what he had done. For months - the hero- ine's life was despaired of, but when she went to this Mountain hetet in three -days she could eat large beefsteaks and drink btitterrnilk by the quart." "Do the bonded novelists really aspire to be first-class novelists?" "Certainly they do, and they think it is perfectly legitimate to run several adVer- tiapments through their books. They think it great glory to get their books on the ele-- voted news stands and the hotel news stands. But many of them are never placed on the stands. The bonded novelists work for the printers and binders. He is the worm that is beginning to turn and assert himself against the editors of the big liter- ary magazines and the publishing houses. To see Inc name in print is 'glory enough." - New York Mail and Express. What- the Death Watch Really Is. There is a more or less clearly defined threadof superstition running through the minds of most people, and not a few who have at various tithes been involuntary list- eners to the4 sound of unfamiliar-tickings, especially during the hours of darkness, have beeneunable to prevent their inutgina- tion leading them back to the stories told them in childhood of the dreaded omen of the tick of the death watch, which precedes a death in the family. It is now well known that the ticking is produced by an insect, and a Parisian chemist has not only taken the trouble to investigate the subject thor- oughly, but has sent to a Paris paper twa insects actually caught in the act of produc- ing the sounds alluded to. They were on the same sheet of, packing paper (strong tarred paper) but on tlie opposite ;sides and at a, distance of ;Wont four inches apart. One struck forcibly tvith his head at the rate -of six blows per secwal, and the insect on the lower side answered as soon as the other had finished. The insect is a tiny beetle, barely a quarter of tut inch long. It is generally during the night that it pro- duces the ticking sounds, and in order to do so draws in the antenna. and • intermedi- ate legs, and, resting principally upon the medium legs, strikes its head against its support by a sort Of rocking motion-. It is through this noise that the Male calls the female. The larva of the insect lives in woodwork (framework, old fmniture, etc.), which it gnaws in the interior without any- thing outside betrayingits presence. A few weeks after it has been transfomned to the chrysalis state the perfectinsect conies forth, and makes its exit from the wood by ,b0rillg a • perfectly cylindrical hole in it, which thereafter shows that tlfe wood has been at- tacked, and it is often mutilatEd to such a degree that it is -virtually destroyed. A smaller species of the same genus works equal havoc not only with the wood, but with books, herbaria, natural histoeycol- lections, cork, dry bread, crackers, etc: The deathwatch ..beetle has the invariable habit of feigning death when seized or dis- turbed:. The simulation is so persistent that when immerged in water, or (Wen in alcohol, the insect remains perfectly im- movable, and will allow itself to be burned alive rather than betray itself. Pigs That Climb Trees. An account of a tree -climbing pig conies from Australia. For a number ot years wild pigs have been numeroustin Queensland, and the theory is that the common pig hasbeen changed, partly by necessities of his wild life, into the variety discovered. The fore feet are furnished with book -like claws, but the hind ones with ofily two hooks upow each hoof._ The tail is thick, about, a foot long, and curled like the figure 8. • Tale -Bearing. It is much easier to start an evil report than to stop it. Even after a rumor has been proved false, the harm it has done can not always be undone. Befere repeat- ing a bit of gossip, it would be well to ask ourselves three questions : First, "is it true ?" Second, is it kind ?" Third, " is it necessary ?" This practice would be sure to save us from many bitter memories and regrets. The pious Philip of Ned was once visited by a lady who accused herself of slander. He bade her go to the market, buy a chicken jut killed and still covered with feathers, and walk a certain distance, plucking the bird as she went. The woman did as she was directed, and returned anxious to know the meaning of the injunction. " Retrace your steps," stid Philip, " and anther up, one by one, all the feathers you have scattered." - 6 "1 Mt the feathers carelessly away," said the woman, "and the wind scattered them in all directions." " Well, my child," replied Philip, "So it is with slander ; like the feathers which the wind has scattered, they have been wafted in many directions. Call them back now if you can ; Go, ein no more."
