My country, 'tis of thee;
Sweet land of liberty.
The subject was `Observatielhe in Russia
and Great Britain," the text ia.lected being:
Psalm 139: 9:' "f I take the wings of the
morning and dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea, even there shall tlty hand lead
me."
What an absurd book the ,Bible must be
to a man who has no poetry 7.. in his soul.
"Wings of the morning !" What kind of
a bird is it, and how long are its wings
and of what color? Ah, sonie :of us have
_ seen and felt its wings. Their are golden.
They are buoyant. They are Swift. They
are wide -spread. The 15th iif last June,
I took "the wings of the Morning" and,.
started for Europe., June 20th, on "the
wings of the morning" I started from Liver-
pool, July 12th, on "the wing a of the morn
ine I entered Germany, the land of Martin
Luther and many of that ilk, living and
dead. On "the wings of tha morning," I
entered St. Petersburg, Russia. On "the
wiugs of the morning," I entered Moscow.
On 'the wings of the morning" I entered
the the palaces of Russia, gt•eeted by the
Emperor and Empress, surrounded by a
lovely brood of princes and princesses. On
"the wings of the morning" I braered Inver-
ness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands,
country of Robert Burns and Thomas
- Chalmers, the one for poetry,:. the other for
religion. September 21stoh "the wings
of the morning," I entered the finest haven
of all the earth—New York Harbor—and
looked off toward the most interesting place
I had seen in three montheeel South Ox-
ford Street, Brooklyn. ON I like "the
wings of the morning." I sin, by nature
and by grace, s. son of the morning. I
think I must have been bora in the morn-
ing. I would like to die in the morning. I
have a notion that heaven hi only an ever-
lasting morning. In the slumber of 1892,my
text was fulfilled to me again and again. "If I
[take the wings of the morning and dwell in
the uttermost parts of the sea, even there
shall Thy hand lead me," Yes, He led me
as He always has led me since I took my
first walk from my cradle td my mother's
lap at Bound Brook until this pulpit where
I now stand, and He will lead me until I
stop for all time about three niiles out
yonder, where the most of you will be my
fellow-slumberers. ,
You all know why I went to Russia this
summer. There are many thousands of
persons who have a right to say to me, as
was said in the,
Bible parable: 'Give ac-
count of thy stcwardship.'' Through The
Christian Herald, which It have the honor
to edit, we had for month, in publisher's,
in reportorial, and editorial column, put be-
fore the people the ghastly facts concerning
twenty million Russians who were starting
to death, and subscriptions to the Relief
Fund had come by letters, that seemed not
so much written with ink as with tears,
some of the letters practically saying: "We
find it hard to get bread for our own
families, but we cannot stand this cry of
hunger from beyond the seas'and so
please to receive the enclosed." And
others had sent jewels from their
hands and necks, saying I. "Sell these and
turn them into bread.' And another letter
said; "Enclosed is an bid gold piece. It
was my mother's. She gsve it to me and
told me never to part withit, except for
bread, and now I enclose it." We had
gathered thirty-five thousand dollars in
money, which we turnectmto three million
pounds of flour. When I went down to the
Board of Trade at Chicago and left $5,000
of the amount raised wit4t a prominent flour
merchant, taking no rece pt, and leaving all
to hiin to do the best thing, and returned,
it was suggested that I had not done things
in a business way. How could we know
what sort of flour was sent? There are
styles of flour more fit fot the trough of the
swine than the mouths of hungry men and
, women. Well, as is customary, when the
' the flour came to New Ybrk, it was tested,
and we found indeed. theY had cheated us.
They gave us better flour than we . had
bought. I bought in Chicago fine flour,
but they sent us superfirie. God bless the
merchants of Chicago. ,
Now we know nothing, about famine in
America. The grasshoppers may kill the
crops in Kansas, the freshets may destroy
the crops along the Ohio, the potato worm
may kill the vines of Long Island, the rust
get into the wheat of Michigan, yet when
there has been dreadful scarcity in some
parts of the land, there has been plenty
in other parts. But in districts of Russia,
vast enough to drop several nations into
them, drought for six Consecutive years
has devastated, and those districts were
previously the most productive of all the
empire. It was like what we would have
in America if the hunger fiend somehow
got mit of hell and alighted in our land,
and swept his wing over Minnesota, an d
said : "Let nothing grow here," - and
over Missouri, and iteid : "Let nothing
grow here," and over New York State,
and said: "Let nothing ki grow here,', and
Georgia and Massuchusetts and Pennsyl-
vania and Nebraska and Dakota and the
Carolinas, and said: "1t nothing grow
here," and the hunger fiend had swept the
same withering and. blasting Whig over the
best parts of America in the years 1887,
1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 area 1892 finally
all our families were put on sma:11 allow-
a,nce, and we all had riseh from the table
hungry, and after awhile the children had
only quarter enough, and after awhile only
one meet a day, and after awhile no good
food a0a11, but a mixture of wheat and
chaff and bark of trees, arid then three of
the children down with hunger typhus, and
then all the fainily unable to walk, and
then crawling on hands and knees, and then
one dead in each room, and neighbors, not
quite so exhausted, coming in to bury them,
and afterwards the housil becoming the
tomb, with none to carry the dead to more
appropriate sepulchre—whole families blot-
ted. out. That was what occhrred in Russia.
I hold in my hand something very sug-
geative.) W I. at does that black and un -
comely thing look like? That is what is
called hunger -bread from Russia; that is
before help came from England, Scotland,
what millions of people live on for months
Ireland and America; that is a, mixture
which seems to have in it nat one grain of
sustenance. It is a mixture 'Of pig -weed and
chaff antla the sweepings of stables. That is
something which, if dropped in the street,
your dog or cat might sniff at, but would not
eat. That was the only food on which mil-
lions of men and women lived Youmust look
at that hunger -bread ot etteiera before you
can get proper appreoiation of what an tat -
tractive and beautiful thing 5. good loaf of
bread is, • It is so common tb us we canuot
realize its meaning.
Asy one who has ever teen the royal
family will betieve anything in the way of
kindness ascribed tck them, and will join rne
itt the execration of that too prevalent
opinion that a tyrant is on the throne of
:Reunite. If God suares mv life. I will vet
snow by teats boyand dispute that the most
slandered and systematically lied about na-
tion on earth is Russia and that no ruler
ever lived more for the elevation of his.teo-
ple in education and :stomas and religion
than Alexander the Third. So 1 put all
the three prayer! tarther : God save the
President of the Umted States! God mime
the Queen of England God save the Eli -
parer and Empress of Russia! I will
whether in sermons or lectures I have not
yet decided, show that nineteen -twen-
tieths of all the things written and pub-
lished against Russia are furnished by
men who have been hired by other
countries to "write up" or rather write
down Russia, so as to divert commerce
from that empire, or because of interna-
tional jealousies.- Russia being larger than
all the rest of Europe put together, you
can see how natural would be the jealousies.
I know of two prominent European news-
papers that keep men on salaries to catch
up everything unfavorable to Russia, and
magnify the incident. And the stereotyped
stories of Siberian cruelty in one case out of
a hundred are true, but in ninety-nine out
of a hundred they are fabrications. And in
the one case as soon as it is reported the
official is discharged.
Before passing to the other field of my
summer observation, I give you .one little
,specimen of the falsehoods about Russia. I
stood in London with my tickets for St.
Petersburg, Russia, in my pocket. It was
two o'clock in the afternoon, and at three
o'clock I was to take the train. An Ameri-
can physician came in and said: "You
certainly are not going tcaRussia." I said,
"Why not ?" Then a morning paper was
shown ,me, saying that in St. Peters-
burg there were two thousand cases of
virulent cholera ; the city had been
divided into hospital districts, and the
doctors were at their wits' end what to do
with the number of patients; the popula-
tion was 'flying in terror. It was a most
as bad as Moscow. While reflecting on
these accounts, two messages arrived
from other friends protesting against the
foolhardiness of my rushing into' the pres-
ence of two thousand cases of cholera in one
city. Of course, I halted. I halted for four
days. Meanwhile a telegram from St.
Petersburg encouraged me to go. I went.
There was not a single case of cholera either
in St. Petersburg or Moscow, and there was
not a single case in either city until four
weeks after I left those cities. But the con-
tinental faisehood had done its commercial
errand. Tens of thousands of Americans
and Englishmen who proposed to summer in
Russia turned in other directions. At the
large hotel in St. Petersburg at which I
stopped, though capable of holding five hun-
dred guests, and months before every room
and every hallway and every mattress and
every pillow had been engaged by tele-
graph by sight -seers, all the orders were
cancelled, and, instead of five hundred
guests, I should think about thirty,
and that including our party. And so it
was in all the hotels in Northern Russia,
and the subtraction of that amount of com-
mercial profit from those cities you may
imagine. But that whole subject of system-
atic fabrication I adjourn to some other
hour. -Yet, I must tell you of a picture oft
pathos and moral power impressed upon my
mind so that neither time nor eternity can
efface it. The ship Leo swung to the docks
a few miles below St. Petersburg, loaded
with flour from America. The sailors on
board huzze.ed as they came to the wharf.
From a yacht, on which we had descended
the river to the use, the prominent citizens
of St. Petersham disembarked. The bank
was crowded by prosperous citizens, who
stood on the wharf, and back of them by
poor laborers, who had come down to
offer their services free of charge for the
removal of the breadstuffs from the ship
to the imperial freight train that took the
flour td the interior free of charge. While
we etood there the long freight train
rumbled down to the docks, the locomotive
and each car decorated with a flag—the
American flag and the Rusidan flag alternat-
ing
But I tnust also give a word of report
concerning my other errand—the preaching
of the Gospel in'Great Britain last summer.
It was a tour I had for many years antici-
pated. With the theme of the Gospel I
confronted more people than ever before in
the same length of time—multitudes after
multitude's, and beyond anything I can de-
scriba The throngs in all the cities . were
so great that they could be controlled only
by platoons of police, so that none should
be hurt by the pressure, each service in-
doors followed by a service for the waiting
throngs outdoors, and both by -hand-shak-
ings to the last point le/physical endurance.
From the day in which I arrived at noon in
Liverpool, and that night addressing two
vast assemblages, until I got through my
eyangeliatic journey, it was a scene of
bleesuig to my own soul and I hope to
others. I missed but three engagements
of all the summer,- and those from being
too tired to stand up. At all the assem-
blages large collections were taken, the
money being given to local charities,
feeble churohes, orphan asylums or Young
Mehhi Christian Associations'my services
being entirely grataitona. But, what a
summer! There must have been much
praying here and elsewhere for my welfare,
or no mortal could have gone through all I
went through. In every city and town I
had messages poured into my ears for fami-
lies in America. Oh, sons of Scotchmen,
Englishmen, Welshmen and Irishmen, there
are hearts on the other side of the sea beat-
ing in affection for you and Praying for
your present and eternal welfare. They
wanted me to give you their love, and here
if is by the wholesale, for I canpot-give by
-retail.- Disappoint not the old folks on the
other side of the Atlantic. You will pro-
bably never see them again in this world.
Their hair is whitening and their step is
not as firm as when you saw them last. So
live that you may meet them in heaven.
Write home often, and while you kniew
they are praying for you, do not forget to
remember in your prayers those who were
your first friends, and friends than whom
you will never heve better—I mean your
old father and mother. By the memories
of the old' Scotch kirk, where you were
baptized, and of the English fireside, e by
which you played, and of the Welsh
hills and valleys,, among which you
roamed, and the old homes on the
banks of the Tweed and the Shannon. and
the Clyde, I charge you to be honorable
and trite and Christian. You have good
ancestral blood in your veins. Prove
yourself worthy. It seems to me, that the
Gospel is making mighty strides over there.
Only one thing I .saw in the chapels and
churches I did not like. That is a lack' of
teppreciationof each other, as between the
ational Church and the Dissenters.
Now, each is doing a great work that the
other cannot do. -God speed them all, they
of the Episcopacy and they of the Dis-
senters! Some needthe ritual of the
National Church and others the epontaneity
of the Wesleyan. In the Kingdom of God
_
there is room for all to 'Work, and each in
his own way. Some people are born
Episcopalians and others Methodists and
others Baptists and others Presbyterians,
and do not let us force our notions on
others. As for myself, I was born so pear
the line that I feel as much at home in one
denomination as another, and when in the
Episcopal church the liturgy stirs my soul
so that I cannot keep back the tears, and it
overwhelms me with its solemnity and its
power. When an old-fashioned Metho-
dist church the responses of "Amen !" and
"Hallelujah. !" lift me up until, like Paul, I
am in blessed bewilderment as, to "whether
in the body or out of the body, God know-
eth." And as for the Baptists, though'I
have never been anything but sprinkled, I
have immersed hundreds and expect to im-
merse hundreds more in the baptistry under
this pulpit where I now etand. What is

1
cape nowewe snarl -seep arose eye) atne urine
and do the most for helping people for this
worl&and the next? May there come in
England more cordiality between the Na-
tional Church and the Dissenters. Although
I would be called a Dissenter there, almost
my first step in England wile into a banquet-
ing hall—the Lord Mayor's banquet,
given to the Bishops and high officials
of the National Church) the great and
good and genial Archbishop of Can-
terbury at their head, ad a more mag-
nificent grciup of folks, intellectually and
spiritually, I never got amongst; and I
found that though we had, never met be-
fore'the Archbishop and myself were
old friends. But, all up and down Great
Britain, I found a multitude that no man
can number enlisted for God and eternity,
and I tell you the Kingdont is coming. If
the pessimists weuld get out of the way,
the poople who snivel and groan and think
everything has gone to the dogs or is
about to go—I say if these pessimists
would only get out of the way, the world
would soon see the salvation of God.
Christianity is only another name for ele-
vated optimism. Was Isaiah an optimist?
See his deserts incarnadined with red roses,
and snowed under with white lilies, and
his lamb asleep between the paws of a lion.
Was St. John an optimist? Read the uplift-
ing splendors in the Apocalypse and. the
Hallelujah Chorus with which the old
Book, which they ,cannot kill, closes. The
greatest thing I can think of would be to
have a triple alliance of America, England
and Russia in complete harmonization,
and then to have upon all of them come a
deluge of the Holy Ghost Let the de-
famation of other nations cease. Peace
and good will to men. For that glorious
consummation, which may be nearer than
we think, let us pray, remembering that
God can do more in five minutes than
man can do in five centuries. If the
consummation is not 'effected in our day,
I shall ask the yrivilege of coming out
from heaven a little while to look at
this old world when it shall have put
on its millennial beauty. I think God will
let° us come out to see it at least once
in its periect state before it is burned up.
I should not wonder if all heaven would
adjourn for an excursion to this world to
see how a shipwrecked planet was got off
the breakers and sekafloat again amid the
eternal harmonies. Meanwhile, let us do
all we can to make it better, and it will
somehow tell in the final result, though
it bo only a child's sob hushed, or a trick-
ling tear wiped from s pale face, or a
thorn extracted from a tired foot, or a sin-
ful soul washed white as the wool. May
God help us to help others! And so these
lessons of gratitude and sympathy and
helpfulness and vindication, I have brought
you on the wings of this morning.
Alpine Club for India.
There is some idea of starting an Alpine
olub in India. Those who have ascended
Mont Blanc, and who sigh for fresh monn-
tains-to conquer, might try their luck in
ascending some of the peaks of the Himala-
yas. According to General Strachey, the
whole Alps might be cast into that great
Indian range without producing any result
that would be discernible at a distance of 10
'or 15 miles. On oneoccasion Mr. Grahamand
his guides, who were taken to India from
Switzerland, did not feel any inconvenience
at an altitude of .20,000 feet, except the
natural loss of breath consequent on every
ascent. Mr. Graham's experiences during
his unsuccessful attack of bunagiri were
not altogether enviable. The sun came out
and beat upon him and his companions with
a furnace heat. The reflection from the
snow was very painful, and he thought he
Was going to faint. At last they gained a
ridge where the whole party fell exhausted
on the snow. Their hands and faces rose
in great blisters as though seared with hot
iron, owing to the intense reflected hest.—

English Nomenclature.
It is well for everyone crossing the ocean
to know beforehand the difference between
the use of Certain words in England and
America, writes the Rev. T: De Witt Tal-
mage in "Through Victoria's Domain," in
the October Ladies' Home Journal. The
American says "depot," the Englishman
says "station." The American says "ticket
office," the Englishman says booking
office." The American says "baggage," the
Englishman says "luggage." The American
says "I guess,' the Englishman says "I
fancy." The American Says "crackers,"
the Englishman says "biscuit." The
American says "checkers," the English-
man says "draughts." The American says
".yeast, the Englishman says "harm." The
American calls the close of the meal "des-
sert," the Englishman calls it "sweets."
The American says "sexton," the English-
man says "doorkeeper." The American
uses the word "clever" to describe genial-
ity andkindness'the Englishman uses the
word "clever" to' describe sharpness and
talent.

Russian Civilization.
The hunger oure was atone time a very
popular puniehment in -Siberia but the
latest punishment ine.,ented is the eating of
salted herrings. This is regarded as especi-
ally usefttl in the case of prieoners who re-
fuse to disclose secrets. The continued eat-
ing of very salt herring is the worst form
of torture ; thumbscrews and iron collars
are mild inconveniences to it. The victim
is shut up in a well -heated small cell, and
nothing is given hint to eat but salted her-
rings, no water, and not even any bread.
The thirst thus induced causes the most
maddening agonies, and it is almost invari-
ably found that when the prisoners is
brought before the examining commission he
is ready to give all the information required
of him.
Dwrirte Au the Middle Ages.
In the middle ages every family who
could afford the luxury kept a dwarf, whose
principal duties were to look as ugly as
possible and to receive With equal manifes-
tations of gratitude the chidings of his
mistress and the kicks of her guests. No
royal court was considered complete with-
out a dwarf, who, as a court jester, amused
byehis wit, or, .more commonly, served as a °
butt for the wit of others. .
He Was the Big Party Himself.
A story is told of a gentleman prominently
connected with one of the big foundries in
Pittsburg. The gentleman in quektion is
an unusually large man, very tall and far
around. Finding himself caught in a little
town 75 miles from Pittsburg . one night,
with no traiu going to the city, and being
veliy anxious to re. ch at 11 o'clock he wired
to an expretis train down the track to eop
for him.
"We atop for officials only," came. the
answer.
Quick as a flash went the second telegram:
"Will you k top for a large party ?"
"
Ye," was the reply, and the long ex-
prets slowed up and stopped when it reach-
ed the little towee and the gentleman com-
placently stepped aboard.
" Where is the large party ?" inquired
the conductor, with wide open, astonished
eyee, as he gazed abouttha empty depot.
"Ain't I large enough ?" chuckled the
&lighted paesenger.
The conductor glared, then burst into a
hearty laugh, as the fitness of the applica-
tion burst upon him.—Cleveland Plaindealer.
