Will Take Place in Heaven—A Shock of
Corn.
•
BROOKLYN, N.Y., Nov. 27th.—Rev. Dr.
0 Talmage to day chose for his subject of dre"
Chime one eminently suited to the time fol-
lowing the ingathenng of the harvests, had
to the Thanksgiving season. The decoro-
• tions- of the Thanksgiving Day still remein-
ed on the platform and the galleries, and
long rows of yellow and white corn on the
front and back of the platiormwas in accord
with the sermon. The text selected Was
"As a Shock of, Corn Cometh in in tile
Season!' (Job 5; 26.)
This is the time of the year for husking
corn. If you have recently been in the
fields of Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, or
• New York, or New England, or in any of
the country districts, you know that the
corn is all cut. The sharp knife struck
through the stalks and leftiehem all along
the fieldrnuntil a man came with a bundle of
straw and twined a few of these wisps of
straw into a band, and then gathering up
as much of the corn as the could compass
with his arms, he bound it with this wisp
of straw and then etood it in the field in
what is called a, shock. There aro now at
least two billion bushels of corn ,either
standihm in the shook, or having been ate
ready husked. The farmers gather, one
day on one farin, and then another day on
• another farm, and they put on
their rough husking apron, and
they take the hwiking peg, which
is a pieceof iron with a leathern loop fast-
ened to the band, and with it unsheath the
torn from the husk and toss it into,the gold-
en heap. • Then the wagons come along
and take it to the corn -crib.
About corn as an important cereal or corn ,
as a metaphor the Bible is constantly speak-
ing. You know about the people in famine
corning to buy corn of Joseph, and the foxes
- on fire running into the standing corn,"
and about, the oxen treading out the corn,
and about the seven thin ears of corn that
in Pharaoh's dream devoured the seven
- good ears; and the "parehed corn" handed
to beautiful Ruth by the harvesters of Beth-
lehem, and Abigail's five measures of
"parched corn" withe which she hoped to
appease the anemia of her drunken hus-
band, and David's description ofithe valleys
"covered over with cern, and "the hand-
ful of corn in the earth," and "the full corn
in the ear," and Christ's Sabbath morning
walk through corn -fields, and the disciples
• "plucking ears of corn," and so I am not
surprised to find corn -husking timereferred
to in lay text: "As a shock of corn cometh
in in his season."
. How vividly to all those of us who were
born in the country comes the remem-
• brance of husking time. We waited for
it as for a gala day of the year. It was
• called a frolic. The trees having fot the
mogihpart shed their foliage, the farmers
waded through the fallen leaves and came
• through the keen morning air to the glee-
ful company. 'The frosts which had sil-
vered everything during the night began to
melt off the top of the corn -shocks.
While the farmers are waiting for others,
they stood blowing their breath through
their fingers, or thrashing their arms
around their body to keep up warmth of
circulation. Roaring mirth greeted the
late farmer as he crawled, over the fenoe.
Joke and repartee and rustic saiutation
abounded. All ready, now? The men
take hold of the shock of cork and hurl it
prostrate, while the Moles and mice which
have secreted themselves thereior warmth,
attempt escape. The •withe of straw is
unwound _from the cornshock and the
steaks heavy with the wealth of grain are
rolled int4 two bundles between which
the husker sits down. The husking peg
is thrust in until it strikes the corn, and
then the fingers rip off the sheathing of
the ear, and there is It crack as the root of
the corn is snapped off from the husk, and
the grain clisimpiasoned is hurled up into
the sunlight. • The air is so tonic, the work
is so very exhilarating, the company is so
blithe, that some Iangh, and some shout,
and, some sing, and some batter, and, some
tease a neighbor for a romantic ride along
the edge of the woods in an eventide, in a
carriage that holds but twoj and some pro-
phesy as to the number of bushels to the
field, and others go into competition as to
Which shall rifle the most corn -shocks be-
fore sun -down. After a while, the dinner -
horn sounds from the farm -house and the
table is surrounded by a group of jolly and
• hungry men. From all the pantries and the
cellars and the perches of fowl on the place
the richest dainties come, and there is carni-
val and neighborhood reunion, and a scene
which fills our memory, part with smiles
but more with tears, as we remember' that
the farm belongs now to other owners, and
other hands gather in the field, and many
of those who mingle in that merry husk-
ing scene have themselves been reaped,
"like as a shock of corn cometh in in his
season."
There is a difference of opinion as to
whether the Orientals knew anything about
the corn as it stands in our fields.; but ze-
cent discoveries have found out that the
Hebrew knew all about Indian maize; for
there have been grains of corn picked up
out of ancient crypts and exhumed from
hiding -places where they were put down
many centuries ago, and they have been
planted in our time and have come up just
such Indian maize as we raise in New York
and Ohio ; so.1 am right when I say my
text may refer to a shock of corn just as
you and I bound it, just as you and I threw
it, just as you and I husked it. There may
come some pradtical and useful and com-
forting lessons to all our souls, while we
think of coming in at last "like a shock of
corn coming in m his season."
It is high time that the King of Terrors
were thrown out of the Christian vocabu-
lary. A vast multitude of people talk of
death as though it were the disaster of dis-
asters, instead of being to a good man the
• blessing etf blessings. • It is moving out of
a cold vestibule into a warm temple. It
is migrating into grc ves of redolence and
perpetual fruitage. It is a change from
`bleak March to roseate June. It is a change
of manacles for garlands. It is the trans-
muting of the iron handauflis ,of earthly
incarceration into the diamonded wristlets
of a bridal party; or, to use the suggestion
.of my text, it is only husking titne. It is
the tearing off of the rough sheath of the
body that the bright and the beautiful soul
may go free. Coming in "iike a shock of
_ corn cometh in in his season." Christ broke
up a funeral procession at the gate of Nain
by Making a resurrection day for a young
man and his mother. And 1 would that I
could break up your sadnesses and halt the
Jong funeral procession of the world's grief
by some cheering and cheerful view of the
last trrtnaltion.
all know that husking time was a
time of frost, Frost on the fence. Frost
• on the stubble. Frost on the • ground.
Frost on the bare branches Of the trees.
Frost in the air. Frost on the hands of
• the, husker,. You remember we uaed to
hide between- the corn -stacks so as to
. keep off the wind, but still you rernem-
ber how shivering was. the body and show
painful was the cheek, and how benumbed
were the bends. Bat after a while the sun
was high up and all the frosts went out of
the air, and hilerities awakened the echoes,
andjoy from one corn -shock went up, "Aha,
aha r and was answered by joy from an-
other cormehock. "Aha. aha !» So We all
realize that tn0 death of our friend in the
nipping of many expectations, the freezing,
the chilling, the frosting of many of out
hopes. . It is fir from being a south wind.
It comes out of the frigid north, and when
they go away from us we stand benumbed
in body and
numbed, in sou

moment," said the apostle as he clapped
hands "light, and but for a moment." T
chill of the irosts followed by the gladn
that cometh in "like a shock of corn coin
in in his season." •
Of course the husking time made rou
work with the l ear of .corn. The husk
peg is to be throat in and the hard thu
of the husker had to come down on
the
swathing ot th ear, and then there wati
pull and there was a ruthless tearing, a
then a completesnapping off before thee
was free, and if the husk could have spok
it would have said: •"Why do you lacer
me? Whp do you wrench me?' Ah!

think I would be at home in that supernal

would. I know you would. I remember
that in the husking time there was great
equality of feeling among the neighbors.
There at one corn -shock a farmer would
be at work who owned two hundred acres
of ground. The man whom he was talk-
ing with at the next cormshock owned "tut
thirty acres of ground, and perhaps all that
covered by a mortgage. That evening, at
the close of the husking day, One man
drove home a roan span so frisky. so full of
life, they got their feet over the traces.

which are calling and chirping from the
