WHAT THE HISTORY OFTHE HUMAN

LONDON, Aug. 28, 1892. During thp
Oast week, Dr. Talmage has been -preach,-
g to enormous audiences 41 the great
anufactairing t
owns of the English Mid-
i nd -counties. In Birmingham, in spite
f the great size of the churches placed at
is disposal, it was necessary to engage
the TOWT1 Hall, the spacionh building in
which John Bright delivered his famous
▪ eeches to the electors, aid even this
eclifice would not contain half the people
he tried to get entrance. At Leicester,
ardiff and Swansea there ivas the same
eagerness to bear him and he was received
-ith unbounded enthusiasm.The aermon
s leetecl for publication this week is on
I aiah 6, 2.`With twain he covered his
f ce ; with twain he covered his feet ; and
ith twain he did fly.
In a hospital /of leprosy good King
Itzziali had died, and the whole land was
.shadowed with soleinnity„and theological
and prophetic Isaiah was _thinking about
✓ ligious things, as one 19 apt to do in
t me of great national bereavement; and
f rgetting the presence of his wife and,
t ro sons, who made up his family, he has
a dream, not like the dreams of ordinAry
O araeter which generally come from' in -
d gestion, but. a vision ming instructive,
and under the touch of the hand of the
Almighty.
The plane, the ancient temple; building,
grand,.awful, majestic. -Within that tem.
p e a throne higher ana grAnder than that
otOcupied by any Czar or Sultan or Emperor.
On that throne, the eternal Christ. In
Ii es surrounding that throne the brightest
.c lestials, ,not the cherubim, but higher
t ian they ; the most exquisite and radiant
o the -heavenly inhabitants; the seraphim,
They are called burners, because they look
like fire. Lips of fire, eyes of fire, feet of
fie. In addition to the features and the•
liMbs which suggest a bunion being, there
ate pinions which suggesti the lithest, the
sfriftest, the most buoyan.-., and most inspir-
g of all intelligent creation—a bird.
E h seraph had six wings, each two of the
ngs for a different purpose. ' Isaiah's
dream quivers and flashes with these pin-
ions. Now folded, now spread, now beaten
locomotion. "With twain he covered
his feet, with twain he covered his face,ard with twain he did fly."
The probability is that these wings were
is
n t all used at once. The seraph standing
t ere near the throne overwhelmed at the
in ignificance of the paths his feet and trod -
d n as compared with the paths trodden by
the feet of God, and with the lameness of
Ms locomotion amounting almost to .fie-
er pitude as compared with the divine web-
eily, with feathery veil of angelic modesty
hi es the feet. "With twain, He did cover
th feet."
tending there overpowered by the over -
in tching splendors of God's glory, and un-
a14e longer with the eyes to look upon
th m, and wishing those eyes shaded from
th r insufferable glory, the pinions gather
ov r the countenance. . "With twain He
dic cover the face." Thexi as God tells this
se aph to go to the furthest outpost of im-
in nsity on message of light and love ,and
jo , and get back before the first anthem,
it oes not take the seraph a great while to
sp ead himself upon the air with unimagin-
ed celerity, one stroke of the wing,eq,ual to
te thousand leagues of air. "With twain
he did Ilya"
,
emost practical and useful lesson for you
an me—when we see the Seraph spreading
his wings over the feet is a lesson of hu -
mi ty at imperfection. The brightest
an els of God are so far beneath God thatIle
charges them with folly. The seraph so far
be eath God, and we so far beneath the
ser ph in service, we ought to be plunged
in umility, utter and complete. Our feet,
hoifr laggard they have become in the divine
sertrice! Our feet, how many missteps they
hawe taken. Our feet, in how many paths
of vorldliness and folly heve they walked f.
i either God nor seraph intended to put
an: dishonor upon that which is one of the
ma terpieces of Ahnighty God—the human
, foo. Physiologist and anatomists are over-
syh lined at the wonders of its organization.
Th Bridgewater Treatise, written by Sir
Chi ries Bell, on the wisdotn and goodness
of God as illustrated in the human hand,
was a result of (140 000 bequeathed in the
last will and 4terAameift of . the Earl of
Bridgewater for the eneouragernent pi
Chr etian literature. The world could af-
for(it to forgive his eccentricities, though he
haell two dogs seated at his table, and
thotigh he put six dogs alone in an equipago

footmen. With his large behest inducing
Sir ! Charles Bell to write so valuable
a bOok on the wisdoni of God in the

And the world could no* afford to have

osyncratic, if he would induce some other
Sir Charles Bell to write, a book on the

"thy feet shall not stumble." Especial
charge : "Keep thy foot when thou goest
to tl e house of God." Especial peril :
"The r feet shall slide in due time." Con-
necte 1 with the world's dissolution

Giv inc the history of ymir foot, and I

All this talk about the dighity of human
teature is braggadocia and a sin. Our na-
ture started at the hand of God regal, but
it has been pauperized. There is a well in
Seigi which once had verY pure water.

Unclean, u clean I ,
Another seraphic posture in the text:
"With twain he'covered the face." That
means reverence Godward. Never so ir-
reverence a road in the world as to -day.
You see it i the defaced statuary, in the
cutting out of figures from fine pointings, in
the ehippin of monuments for a memento,
- in the fact hat military guard must stand
at the gra es' of Grant and , Garfield, and
that old sh de trees must be cut down for
firewood though fifty George I. Morrises
beg the wrSodmen to spare the tree, and
that calls i corpse a csala,ver, and that
speaks of dtth as going over to : the majo-
rity, and su stituted for the reverent terms,
father and mother, "the old man," and "the
old woman," and finds nothing impressive
in the ruins of Baalbec or the columns of
Karnac, and see no difference in the Sabbath
from other days, except it allows more
dissipation § and reads the -Bible in what
is called higher criticism, making it
not the word of God but a good book
with some fine things in it. Irreverence
never so much abroad. How many take the
name of God in vain'how many trivial
things said about the Almighty. Not will-
ing to have God in the world, they roll up
an idea of sentimentality and humanitarian-
ism and impudence and imbecility, and call
it God. NO winks of reverence over the face,
no taking off of ehoes on holy ground. You
can tell from Ithe way they talk they could
have made a better world than this, and
that the God of the Bible shocks every sense
of propriety. They talk of the love of God
in a way that shows you they believe it
does not make any difference how bad a
man is here, he will come in at the shining
gate. They talk of the love of God in such
a way which shows you they think it is
a generaf jail delivery for all the abandoned
• and the scoiindrelism of the universe. No
punishment hereafter for any wrong done
here.
The Bible gives us two descriptions of
(4od, and they are just opposite and they
are both true. In one place the Bible says
God is love. In another place the Bible
mays God is a consuming fire. The explan-
ation is as plain as can be. God through
Christ is love. God out of Christ is fire.
To win the one mad escape the other we
have only to throw ourselves, body, mind,
and soul into Christ's keeping. "No," says
Irreverence, "I want no atonement, I want
no pardon, I,want no intervention; I will
go up and face God, and I will challenge
Him, and 1 will defy Him, and I will ask
Him what He wants to do with me." So the
finite confronts theinfinite Bootlick hammer
tries to break a thunder -bolt, so the breath
of human nostrils defies the everlasting
God, while the hierarchs of heaven bow
the head and bend the knee as the King's
chariot goes by, and the archangel turns
away because he cannot endure the splen-
dor, and the chorus of all the empire of
heaven comes in with full diapason, "holy,
holy, holy!"
Reverence for sham; reverence for the
old merely because it is old, reverence for
stupidity however learned, reverence for
incapacity hOwever finely inaugurated, I
have none. But we want more reverence
for God, more reverence for the sacra-
ments, more reverence for the Bible, more
reverence for the pure, more reverence for
the good. Reverence a characteristic of
all great natures. You hear it in the roll
of the master oratorios. You see it in the
Raphaels and Titians and Ghirlandijos.
You study it in the architecture of the
Aholiabs and Christopher Wrens.1 Do not
be flippant about God. Do not jeke about
death.' Do not make fun of the Bible.
1)0 not deride the Eternal. The brightest
and mightiest seraph cannot look unabashed
upon him. Involuntarily the wings come
up, "With twain He covered His face."

gant and intractable refuse reverence 1

The Sultan Would Abolish His Harem,

were allowed to consult his own tastes he
!i
would oni
only have one wife ' stead of the 300
he now maintainssin his h rein. He does
not dare to abblisli the institution, for
he knows that the day he saw the last of
the royal harem would also gee the last of
his reign. Each occupant. of the harem
receives the title of princess, hence it .
is the ambition of every iTurkish officer to
get his daughter into it. She is given a
large dower, a staff [if ten servants and ,a
carriage and four. The nintena.nee of the
harem costs the canary about 815,000,000
a year. It is a perfect net of intrigue and
scandal, of envy, hatted, Malice and all un-
charitableness. !

matchless eloq once was there, direeted to
the kindly as rall , as the serious side of
life. As in hi talk, so in his speeches,
humor succee ed pother, and indignation
alternated wit satire. The strength and
purity of his language 'were in harmony
with the rich vibra.tion of his voice, and
an leek of gesture was atoned for by the
noble earnestness of his presence and the
ciratteatic powert of his mouth and eye. He
loved Scotland, and, in a sort of way, the
Scotch. He had a little family of Scotch

dog rarely came near him that: he did not
caress. Salmon fishing becamais favorite,

theology," he once said; "it's too full of the
gridiron." He had more sympathy with
Robert Burns and the Scotch poets. His
own religion was found in the Sermon on
the Mount. C Teets and formalities were
not to his liking. At a certain dinner he
turned from a Highland minister of opposite
political opinions and assertive tongue with
the remark: "It's odd that a man who
knows so little about this world can tell us
so much about the next."

Care of the Hand.
The first necesisty in the care of the
hands by either their ma icure or their
owner (and, as I have said, there is really
no reason why the latter should not learn
in time to be very proficient in tier care) is
the keeping of the hande soft 4nd clean.
writes Isabella M. Ajtker, in a helpful
article in the Ladies' Home Ournal, If
you have any manual work to peOrm, learn
to do as much of your work as is Oraoticeble
in gloves. With the determinati4'10 to do Ivo,
it will be surprising how few of your occupa-
tions cannot be literally "handled with
gloves," and the difference in texture of
your akin and the ability to ciente° it will
amply repay you for the sheave of your
old gloves and opinions.
As a ride, for washing the hands neither
very hot nor very cold water Should be
used, though there may of course, be
occasional no:amity for th use g either.
Tepid water should be the usual menden.
To soften the water a few drori of itmmonia,
or a small quantity of borax, may tie added.
A convenient way in which to use the litter
is to sn4e a solution of borax AO water
!which can be kept in a bottle and. added, a
foe drops at a time, to the bathing water.
Many people find this method m re neat
than keeping the borax in powder form
