Homestead liVhich is Heaven
dktotaxiars, December 18th.--Aev. Dr.
Tairnage to -day preached the4, first of a
promised series of sermons oli „God in the
natural world as disclosed in the Bible.
The subject c hosen for the natio' sermon
was, "The Astronomy of the Bible ; or God
among the Stars," the text being from
Amos 9 e 6 : "It is He that bilildeth. His
stories in the heavens." Preceding the
sermon the great congregation sang Isaac
Watts' hymn
The heavens declare thy gloryj Lord.
In every star thy wisdom shines.
That is funt-rate poetry from ft Amos, the
herdsman. While guarding his flock at
night, he got watching the havens. He
saw stars above stars, and the universe
seemed to him like a great ma,tasion many
stories high, silver room above 14i1ver room,
silver pillars beside silves pillars, and win-
dows of silver and doors of silver, and
turrets and. domes of silver rising into the
immensities, and the prophet's sanctified
imagination walks through that,great silver
palace of the universe, through the first
story, throngh the second story, through
the third story, through the twentieth story,
through the thundredth story, through the
thousandth story, and realizing that (died is
the architect and carpenter and Mason °fall
that upheaved splendor, he cries out in the
words of the text': "It is He that buildeth
His stories in the heavens."
My hearers it is time that We widened
out and heightened our religioue thoughts.
In our pulpits and Sabbath biasses and
Christian work of all sorts we ring the
changes on a few verses of Scripture until
they excite no interest. Many!'of the best
parte of the .,Bible have hevet yet been
preached from or indeed even noticed.
Hence 1 to -day begin a series of sermons,
not for consecutive Sabbath mornings, but
as often as I think best for variety's sake,
on the astronomy of the Bible or God
among the Stars, the Geology of the Bible
or Cod among the Rocks, the Oimithology
of the Bible or God among the Airds, the
Ichthyology.of the Bible or God among the
Fishes, the Pomoiogy of the Bible or God
among the Orchards, the Precioue Stories of
the Bible or God among the Amethysts, the
Conchology of the Bible or God among the
Shells, the Botany of the Bible or God
among the Flowers, the Chronology of the
Bible or -God among the Centuries. The
fact is that we have all spent too Much time
„ an one story of the great mansioh of God's
universe. We need occasionally to go up-
staite or downstairs in this mansion; down-
stairs and in the cellar study the roetks or
upstairs and see God in some of the higher
stories, and learn the meaning of ;the text
when it says : "it is He that buildethHis
' ottories in the heaven."
Astronomy was born in Chaddea. Its
mother was .Astrology, or the sbience of
foretelling events by juxtaposition of stars.
The Orients, living much out of doors and
In. a very clear atmosphere, through which
the stars shone especially lustroue, got the
habit of studying the night heavens. in
the hot seasons caravans journeyed chiefly
at night, and that gave travellers Much op-
portunity -of stellar information.,On the
first page of the Bible the sun ad moon
and stars rell jn» The sun, a body nearly
three million nines in circumference and
more than twelve thousand times as large
ad °tn. earth; the moon, more than two
thousand miles in diameter. But God is
used to doing things on such an omnipotent
scale that he takes only one verse to tell gf
this stellar and lunar nianufacture. Yea,
in three words all the other words are
thrown in. The record says, "The stars
also!" It takes whole pages for a man to
extol the making of a telescepe Or micro-
scope or a magnetic telegraph or a thrashing
machine, or to describe a fine painting or
statue, but it was so easy for God to hang
the celestial upholstery that the story is
compassed in one verse: God Made two
great lights, the greater light to rule the
day and the lesser light to rule the night.
"The stars also!" Astronomers have been
tryiog to call the roll of them ever since,
and they have counted rnultitudee of them
positing in review before the observatories
built at vast expense, and the size and
number of those heavenly bodies have tax-
ed to the utmost the scientists of all ages.
But God finishes all He has to say about
thein in three words, "The stars also !"
That is Mars, with its more than fifty-five
million square miles, and Venusi with its
more than 191 million square Miles, and
Saturn, with its more than nineteen mil-
lion square miles, and Jupiter, with its
more than twenty-four billion square miles,
and all the planets of our system of more
than seventy-eight billion square Miles, and
these stars of our system, when 'compared
with the stars of the other systems, as a
handful of sand compared with all the
Rocky Mountains and all the Alpe. "The
stars also !" For brevity, for ponderosity,
for splendor, for suggestiveness, for sub-
limity piled on sublimity, these wbrds excel
all that human speech ever uttered or
human imagination ever soared after. "The
stars also !" It is put in as yout write a
postscript -something you thought of after-
wards -as hardly worth patting into the
body of a letter. "The stars also !"
Read on M your Bibles, and after awhile
the Bible flashes with the Aurora Borealis
or Northern Lights, that strange illumina-
tion, as mysterious and undefined now as
when in the book of Job it was written:
"Men see not the bright light which is in
the clouds. Fair weather cometh out of
the North." While all the nations sup-
posed that the earth was built on a founda-
tion of some sort, and many supposed that
it stood on a huge turtle, or some great
inarine creature, Job knew enough of
a.stronorny to say it/had no foundation but
was suspended on the invisible arm of the
Almighty, declaring that "He haegeth the
earth upon nothing." While all nations
thought the earth was level, the sky spread
over it like a tent over a flat surface, Isaiah
declared the world to be globular, circular,
saying of God : "He sitteth upon the circle
of the earth." See them glittei in the
scriptual sky -Arcturus, Orion, the
Pleiades, and the "Bear with her young."
While running your fingers among the
leaves of your Bible with the astronomical
thought in your mind, you see, two worlds
stop -the sun and the moon. 13ut what
: does that Christian know about that miracle
who does not understand something of
those two luminaries? Unless yoll watch
modern astronomy, pat those two worlds in
its steelyards and weigh them, you are as
ignorant as a hottentot about the stupen-
dousness of that scene in the life of Joshua:
The sun over three heindreOlionatad times
as heavy as our earth and going thousands
of miles the hoar. Think of stieppicig that
and starting it again without the ship-
wreck of the universe ! But I can easily
believe it. What confounds me iA not that
He could stop and start, again those twc
worlds in Joshua's time, but that He could
have made the wheel of worlds of which the
sun and moon are only cogs, and keep that
wheel rolling- for thousands of years -the
ty-wheel ef all eternity 1 If an engineer
Can start a long train, it is not surprising
that he can stop it. If God eould make
and move the universe, which is an ex -press
train drawn by an omnipotent, engine, I am
not su;prised that for a part of a clay He
could putdown the brake on two Pieces of
the rotating machinery. fidelity is hard
--eseee _
- 1
satIon oisteuar and lunar traveL ilere is my
watch. I could not make a watch if I tried,
but I can stop it and start it again. My
difficulty is not that God could' stop two
worlds and start them again, but that He
could make them at all as He did make
them. What pleases me and astounds
me more is that each one of the, million'
of worlds has a God-given name. Only
a comparatively small number of them
have names given them by scientists. If
astronomers can give a name to a whole
constellation or galaxy, they think they
do well, but God has a name for each
star in all immensity. Inspired -David
declares of God : "He telleth the number
of the stars, he calleth them all by their
names." They are not orphans that have
never been christened. They are not
waifs of the night. They are not un-
known ships on the high seas of immensity.
They belong to a family of which God is the
father, and as you call your children Benja-
min or Mary or Bertha or Addison or Jose-
phine, so He calls all the infant worlds and
all the adult worlds by their first name,
and they know it as well as though there
were only one child of light in all the di-
vine family. "He calleth them all by their
names," and when He calls, I warrant they
Come.
Oh, the stars! Those vestal fires kept
burning on infinite altars. Those light-
houses on the coast of eternity. The hands
and weights and pendulum of the gest
clock of the universe. According to Her-
schel, the so-called fixed stars not fixed at
all, but each. one a sun with a mighty
system of worlds rolling round it, and this
whole system with all the other systems
relling on around some other great centre.
Millions and millions, billions and billions,
trillions and trillions, quadrillions and
quadrillions."
But what gladdens me, and at the same
time overwhelms me, is that those worlds
are inhabited. The Bible says so, and what
a small idea you must have of God and his
dominion if you think it only extends across
the chip of a world which you and I
now inhabit. Have you taken this idea
of all the other worlds being inhabited
as human guesswork? Read Isaiah, 45th
chapter, Intl verse: "Thus saith the
Lord that created the heavens, God him-
self that formed the earth, and made it;
He hath established it, He ereated it not
in vain, He formed it to be inhabited."
Now, it he inhabited the earth so that it
would not be created in vain, would he
make worlds hundreds and thousands of
times larger and not have them inhabited.
Speaking of the inhabitants of this world,
He says: "The nations are as the drop of a
bucket." If all the inhabitants cf this
world are as a drop of a bucket, where are
the other drops of a bucket? Again and
again the Bible speaks of the host of
heaven, and the word "host" means living
creatures, not mere masses, and the expres-
sion "hosts of heaven" must mean inhabi-
tants of other worlds.
Without any telescope and without any
observatory and without any astronomical
calculations I know that the other worlds
are inhabited, because my Bible and my
common sense tell me so. It has been inti-
mated that in the worlds belonging to
our solar system there is room for at least
twenty-five trillion of population. And I
believe it. is all occupied or will be occupied
by inteligent beings. God will not fill
them with brutes. He would, certainly put
into thesioworlds beings intelligent enough
'to appreciate the architecture, the coloring,
the grandeur, the beauty, the harmony of
their surroundings. Yea, the inhabitants
of these worlds have capacity of locomotion
like ours, for they would not have had such
spacious opportunity for movetnent if they
had not powers of motion. Yea, they have
sight, else why the light; and hearing, else
how get on with necessary language and
how clear themselves from advancing
perils. Yea, as God made our human race
in His own image, He probably made the
inhabitants of other worlds in His own im-
age ; in other words, it is as near demon-
stration as I care to have it, that while the
inhabitants of other worlds have adapta-
tions of bodily structure to the particular
climate in which they dwell, there is yet
similarity of mental and spiritual charac-
teristics among all the inhabitants of the
universe of God, and made in His image
they are made wonderfully alike
Now, what would be the practical result
of this discussion founded on Scripture and
common-sense? It is first of all to enlarge
our ideas of God, 'and so intensify our ad-
miration and worship. Under such consider-
ation, how much more graphic the Bible
question which seems to roll back the
sleeve Of the Almighty, and say: "Haat
thou an arm like God ?" The contempla-
tion also encourages us with the thought
that if God made all these worldioand popu-
lated them, it will not be very much of an
undertaking for Him to make our little
world over again, and reconstruct the
character of its population as by grace they
are to be reconstructed.
What a monstrosity of ignorance that the
inv.jority of Christian people listen not to
the voices of other worlds, although the
Book says, "The heavens declare the glory
of God," and, again, "The works of the
Lord are great and .to be sought out."
How much have you sought them out?
You have been satisfyiug yourself with
some things about Christ, but have you
noticed that Paul calls you to consider
Christ as the Creator of other worlds, "by
Whoth also He made the World's." It is
time you Christians start on a world hunt.
That is the chief reason why God makes
the night, that you may see other worlds.
Go out to -night and look up at the great
lock of the heavens. Listen to
the silvery , chime of the midnight
sky. See that your children and grandchild-
ren mount, the heavens With telescope .for
alpenstock, leaping from acclivity of light
to acclivity of light. Thank God that we
now know where our owii world is, bounded
on all sides by realms of, glory instead of
being where Hesiod in his poetry described
it to be, nemely, half waY between Heaven
and hell, an anvil hurled out of Heaven,
taking ten days to strike the earth, and
hurled out of earth taking ten more days to
strike perdition.
From the high heaven a. brazed anvil cast,
_Nine days and nights in rapid Whirls would last;
And reach the earth the tenth; whence strongly
hurled.
The same the passage to th' infernal world.
I thank God that we have found out that
our world is not half -way, between heaven
and hell, but is in a sisterhood of light, and
that this sisterhood joins all the other
sisterhoods of the worlds, moving round
some good homestead, which is no doubt
Heaven, where God is, rind our departed
Christian friends are, and we ourselves
through pardoning mercy expect tc become,
permanent residents.

11-1E POTTE-RY WORKhRS OF EGYPT
What They Produce in Ceramics and
Articles de Luxe,
Some very interesting particulars respect-
ing the home industries a Egypt are given
in a recent report which the Austrian Con-
sul at Cairo made to his government. The
greater part of the goods Manufactured find
a sale principally among tourists and
foreigners visiting the coutetry. Speaking
generally, the Egyptian industries of to-
day may be divided into three groups: The
minor or "house" industry,. agricuiture,
and the factory industry. Of the first
group, .oneeof the oldest is the ceramic in-
dustry, which, Ji 4n on in noteeee
-
this class produced are, the porous bottle- }
shaped vessels and bulging refrigerators
known by the name of Alkaraza, as well as
filters known as Sir, the latter chiefly made
at Keneh. The finer classes of goods, such
as ornamental vases, lamps, and ornamental
articles generally, come from Assiout and
Upper Egypt.
Cairo is the chief center of the metal in-
dustry. Articles of wild and silver are
manufactured insmall quantities indeed and
chiefly for ithe peasant population and tour-
ists. The' mostly consist of massive silver
rings for decorating the arms and ankles,
twisted bands, chains, and filigree work Of
fine gold and silver. There are several
lapidaries in Cairo and Alexandria, chiefly
engaged in cutting turquoises.
The wood industry, besides employing a
large number of joiners engaged in produc-
ing ordinary European furniture, includes
also some establishments in Cairo and Alex-
andria, where art furniture in Arabian style
is turned out. This mainly consists in wall
screens, presses, chairs. chairs, fauteuils, small
tables, so-called koran stands, mirrors and
picture frames, pier tables, etc., generally
inlaid with mother-of-pearli bone, or metal.
The principal purchasers of these articles,
too, are foreigners, either settled in or jour-
neying through the country. Assiout does
an export trade in articles of ebony of finer
workmanship inlaid with ivory. -Jewelers

The Shah,
The smallest detail is submitted to him.
and is not decided exoept upon his author-
ity. His Ministers disavow all initiative
and tremble at any executive responsibility.
Imperious, diligent, and fairly just, the
Shah is in his own person the sole arbiter of
Persia's fortunes. 'All policy emanates from
him. He supervieses every department
with a curiosity that requires to he con-
stantly appeased, and his attention, both
to foreign and domestic politics, is constant
and unremitting: There is a consensus of
opinion that he is the met competent man
in the country, and the best -ruler that it
can produce. Nor Will anyone deny,
him the possession of patriotism and of
a genuine interest iu the welfare
of the nation. . . . It is no mean
criterion of the strength and also of the
general popularity of the Shoh that
he is the first Persian monarch who has
ventured to leave his dominions and jour-
ney in foreign and infidel lands, not as a
conqueror at the head of an army, but as a
friendly visitor, if not as a volunteer tour-
ist. . . . The immense amount of
money spent by the Shah in the purchase
of furniture and curiosities in Europe also,
excited a feeling of discontent, and his
second tour was unquestionably unpopular
among his subjects. That he was able to
venture upon a third is a proof of the abso-
lute security of his position, but it is also
due to the sentiinent which he has taken
care to diffuse among his subjects that the
Princes of Christendom vie with each other
in anxiety to entertaie so great a potentate,
and squabble for the honor of his alliance.
-Persia and the Persian Question -The
Hon. G. N. Curzon.
The Mixed Face of India.
Eurasia has no boundaries. It lies, a
varying social fact, all over India, thick in
the great cities, thickest in Calcutta, where
the conditions of climate and bread -winning
are most suitable, where, moreover, Eura-
sian charities are most numerous. Wher-
ever Europeans havecome and gone, these
people have sprung up in weedy testimony
of them—these people who do not go, who
have received somewhat in the feeble in-
heritance of their blood that makes it pos-
sible for them to live and die in India. No-
thing will ever exterminate Enrasia ; it
clings to the sun and the soil, and is mar-
vellously propa,gative within its own bor-
dere. There is no remote chance of its
ever being reabsorbed by either of its origi-
nal elements; the prejudices of both Euro-
peans and natives are far too vigorous
to permit of such inter -marriage with a jet
of people who are neither' one nor the other.
Occasionally an up -country planter, pre-
distined to a remote and "jungly" exis-
tence, comes down to Calcutta and draws
hfs bride from the upper circles of Eurasia
this not so often now as formerly. Occa-
sionally, too, a young shopman with the red
of Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried off
by his landlady's daughter; while Tommy
Atkin falls -a comparatively easy prey. The
sight of a native with a half-caste wife is
much rarer, for there Eurasian as well as
native antipathy comes into operation.
The whole conscious inclination of Eurasian
life, in habits, tastes, religion, and most of
all in ambition, is toward the European
and away from the native standards.
Royalty on a Fish Train.
The Duke of Edinburgh led the orchestrn
at the performance the other day of Mac-
kentie's "Drama of Jubal," which was given
at the Plymouth Guidhell in behalf of char-
ity. The royal leader used his magnificient
Stradivarius violin, which had been on view
at the Vienna Drainatio and Musical Exhi-
bition. The Duke's four daughters were pre.
sent at the performance.
The -Duke adopted a novel method of rail-
way travelling in order to ,be present at
Plymouth. He was shooting at the seat of
• the Earl of St. Germans at Port Eliot, St.
Germans, in Cornirall, and arrangements
had been made to appriee him in good time
when the train on which he was to journey
to Plymouth was signalled. The message
of the approach of the train failed to reach
the Duke who, consequently, missed the
train. A special fish train was due ahnost
immediately after the first train passed, and
the station master, when he learned that
the Duke had no insuperable objection to
travelling on a fish train, stopped it. The
Duke boarded the guard's van, in which hs
travelled to Plymouth.

POOR COP
On or about January lst, it is our intent ion to- get up and get south—
about five doors from our present quarters, when we will open out one of the
best assorted and most extensive stocks, in one of the finest and largest Fur-
niture and Undertaking Warerooms west of Toronto. Before removing from
our present stand, we wish to reduce the stock. Therefore, we have marked
everything away down, placed everything at prices within the reach of every-
body. We are placing before the people an opportunity seldom offered. This
is the snap of the season—the opportunity you have been looking for. We
don't offer bargains like those every day. Come and bring everybody you
know—we'll attend to those you don't know.
Remember, from now until January 1st is your special chance.
