THE ti,b, MINANT THEORY OF RELIGION IS ONE OF GLADNESS. Laugitd,er No Sign of Sappiness—Why Pwst"lone Our : Heaven Any Longer?— Let i! t Begin Now, Says the Brooklyn Prejis%Ite r. Brdt4ltlyn, Jan. 29.—Rev. Dr. Talmage this fbke}noon preached to a great audience in th' Tabernacle ori "The Sunshine of Religion," the text chosen being Proverbs .3: 171 -4 -"Her ways are ways of pleasant- ness.' Yoi gave heard of God's only -begotten Son. have you heard of God's daughter ? She wis born in Heaven. She came down over the hills of our world. She had queen- ly ste ji. On her brow was celestial radi- ance. Her voice was music. Her name is Religion. My text introduces her. "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all hor paths: sire peace." But what is religion? The fact is that theological study has had a different effect upon= me from the effect sometimes pro- duced:, Every year I° tear out another leaf from riy theology until I have only three or foul; leaves left. In other words, a very brief= ,and plain statement of Christian belie.:. An aged Christian minister said: "When I wad a young man, I knew everything; When I got to be thirty-five years of age in my Ministry 1 had only a hundred- doc- trines of religion; when I got to be forty years bf age, I: had only fifty doctrines oft religion ; when I got to be sixty years of age, t had only ten doctrines of religion ; and new I am dying at seventy-five years of age , and there is only one thing I know, and that is, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." And so I have noticed in the study of God's Word, and in my contemplation of the character of God and lef the eternal world,that it is necessary for mp to drop that part ot my belief and end -that part of my belief as being non-es- sential, while I cling to the one great doc- trine that man is a sinner, and Christ is his Almighty and Divine Saviour. NOW, I take these three or four leaves of :4 theology, and I find that in the first place.,, and dominant above all others, is the itinshine of religion, When I go into a rotith I have a passion for throwing open all the shutters. That,is what I want to do tits morning. Wa are apt to throw so mut of the sepulchral into our religion, and to close the Shutters, and to pull down the blinds, that it is only through here and there a crevice that the light streams. The eChrist religion of the Lord Jesus isare- ligion of joy indescribable and unutterable. Wherever I can find a bell I mean to; ring it. If there are any in this house this morn- ing who are disposed to hold on to their melancholy and gloom, let them now de- part this service before the fairest - and the brightest and the most radiant being"of all the universe comes in. • God's Son as left our ' world, but God's daughter is here. Gini her room ! hail ! Princess of Heaven. Heil? daughter of the Lord God Almighty. Cole in and make this house thy throne- rootbi- tii setting forth this idea, the dominant thebry of religion is one of sunshine. I hardly know where to begin, for there are so .,;.,tarty thoughts that rush upon my soul. A Mother saw her little chfld seated on the floc. in the sunshine, and with a spoon in hor hand. She said "My darling, what are yon doing there ?" "Oh," replied the child, "I'm getting a ii spoonful of this sun- p , e rhe. Would God that to -day I might present you with a gleaming chalice of his glcfrious, everlasting, Gospel sunshine ! First of all, !find a great deal of sunshine irf F.Christian society. do not know of anything inore doleful than the companionship of the mere fun- titj,kers of the world -the -Thomas Hoods, the Charles Lambs, the Charles Matthews of the world—the men whose entire busi- ness it i§ to make sport. They make others laugh, but if you will examine their auto- libgraphy, or biography you will find that down in their soul there was a terrific dis- tjiiietude. Laughter is no sign of happiness. 'rho maniac laughs. The hyena laughs. The 'Pon among the Adirondacks laughs. The drunkard dashing his decanter against the wall, laughs. Therm a terrible reaction from all sinful amusement and sinful merriment. Such men are cross the next day.. They snap at you on exchange, or they pass you, not recogrsizizrg you. Long ago I quit mere worldly society for the reason- is it was so drill, so insane, and. so stupid. My nature i.s voracious of joy. I must have it. I always walk on the sunny aide of the street, and •for that reason I have crossed over into Christian society. I like their triode of repartee better. I like their style of amusement better. They live longer. Christian people, I sometimes notice, live on when by all natural law they ought to have died. I have known persons who have continued in their existende when the doctor said they ought to have been dead ten years. Every day of their existence was a defiance of the laws of anatomy and physiology ; but they had this supernatural vivacity of the Gospel in their soul, and that kept them alive. Put ten or twelve Christian people in a room for Christian conversation, and you will from eight to ten o'clock hear more resounding glee, see more bright strokes of wit and find more thought and profound satisfaction, than in any mere worldly party. Now, when I say a "worldly party," I mean that to which you are invited, because, under all the circumstances of the case, it is the best for you to be invited, and to which you go because, under all the circumstances of the case, it is better that you go, and, leaving the shawls on the second Boor, you go to the parlor to giY'e formal salutation to the host and the hostess, and then move around, spending the whole evening in the discussion of the weather and in apology for treadiug on long trails, and. in efforts to keep the corners • of the mouth up to the sign of pleasure, and going' around with an idiotic he -he about nothing, until the collation is served, going back agafh into the parlor to resume the weather, and then at the close going at a very late hour to the host and hostess, and assuring them that you have had a most delightful even- ing, and then passing down• off the front steps, the slum of the door the only satis- faction of the evening. • 0, young man?, come from the country to spend your days in city life, where are you going to spend your evenings? Let me tell you, while there are many places of innocent worldly amusement, it is more wise for you to throw your body, mine and soul into Christian society. Come to me at the close of five years and tell me what has been the result of this advice. Bringwith you the young man who refused to take the advice, and who went into sinful amuse- ment. He will come dissipated, shabby in apparel, indisposed to look any one in the eyes; moral character eighty -rive per cent. off.. You willcome with principles settled, countenance frank, habits good, soul saved, and all the inhabitants of heti ven, from the to the arch -angel, and clear lower. angel pp ;past him to th Lord God A2►nighty, your coadj utors. This is not the advice of -a misanthrope. :There is no nialn in the house to whom the world is brighter than it is so me. It is not the advice of a dyspeptic—my diges- tion is perfect it is not the advice of a man who cannot understand a joke, or who prefers a funeral ; it is not the advice of a worn-out man, but the advice of a mate who can see this world iu all its bri^vlitness : acid oonsraering mysea competent in judging what is good cheer, I tell the multitudes of young men in this house this morning that there is nothing in worldly association so grand and so beautiful and so exhilarant as In Christian society. I know thore is a great deal of talk about the self -denials of the Christian. I have to tell you that where the Christian has one self-denial the man of the world has a thousand self -denials. The Chris- tian is not commanded to surrender any- thing that is worth keeping. But what does a man deny himself who denies him- self the religion of Christ. He denies himself pardon tor sin ; he denies himself peace ot conscience ; he denies himself the joy of the Holy Ghost ; he denies himself a comfortable death pillow ; he denies him- self the glories of heaven. Do not talk to me about the self -denials of the Christian life. Where there is one in the Christian life there are a thousand in the life of the world. "Her ways are ways of pleasant- ness." A a'in : 1 find a great deal of religious sunshine in Christian and divine explana- tion. To a great many people life is an inexplicable tangle. Things turn out dif- ferently from what was supposed. There is a useless woman in perfect ,health. There is an industrious and consecrated woman a complete invalid. Explain that. There is a bad man with thirty thousand dollars of income. There is a good man with eight hundred dollars of income. Why is that ? There is a foe of society Who lives on, doing all the damage he can, to seventy-five years of age; and here is a Christian father, faithful in every •depart- ment of life, ' at thirty-five years of age taken away by death, his family left help- less. ' Explain that. Oh ! there is no sen- tence that oftener drops from your lips than this : "I cannot understand it. I cannot understand it." Well, now religion comes in just at that point with its illumination arid its explana- tion. ana- tion. There is a business man who has lost his entire fortune. The week before he lost his fortune there were twenty carriages that stopped at the door of his mansion. The week after he lost his fortune ail the carriages you could count on one finger. The week before financial trouble began people all, took off their hats to him as he passed down the street. The week his financial prospects were under discussion, people just touched their hats without any- wise bending the rim. The week that he was pronounced insolvent, people just jolt- ed their heads as they passed, not tipping their hats at all ; and the week the sheriff sold him out all his friends were looking in therefore windows as they went down past him. Now, while the world goes away from a man when he is in financial distress, the re- ligion of Christ comes to him and says,"You are sick, and your sicknees is to be moral purification; you are bereaved. God wanted in some way to take your family to heaven, and He must begin somewhere, and so He took the one that was most beautiful and most ready to go. There are hundreds of people in this house who are .walking. day by day in the sublime satisfaction that all is for the best, all things working together for good for their soul. How a man can get along through this life without the explanation is. to me a mystery. What ! is that child gone forever ? Are you never to get it back ? Is your. property gone forever ? Is your soul to be bruised and to be tried forever ? Have you no explanation, no Christian explanation, and yet not a ma- niac ? But when you have the religion of Jesus Christ in your soul, it explains everything so far as it is best for you to understand. You look off in life, and your soul ,is full of thanksgiving to trod that you are so much better than you might be. A man passed• down the street without any shoes, and said : "I have no shoes ; isn't, it a hardship that I have no shoes? Other people have shoes ; I, no .shoes, no shoes," until he saw a roan who had no feet. Then he learned a lesson. You ought to thank God for what He does, instead of grum- bling for what He does not. God arranges all the weather in this world --the spiritual weather, the moral weather as well as the natural eather. "What kind of weather will it be to -day ?" said soineone to a far- mer. The farmer replied, "It will be such weather as I like." "What do you mean by that?". asked the other. "Well," said the farmer, "it will be such weather as pleases the Lord, and what pleases the Lord pleases me." Oh ! the sunshine the sunshine of Chris- tian explanation. ere is some one bend- ing over the grave of .the dead. • What is going to be the consolation? The flowers you strew upon the tomb? Oh no ! The services read at the grave? Oh no ! The chief consolation on that grave is what falls from the throne of God. Sunshine, glori- ous sunshine. Resurrection sunshine. Again, I find a great deal of the sun- shine shine of this Bible and of ouri religion come. A man who gets up and goes out from a con- cert right after the opening voluntary has been played, and before the prima donna sings, or before the orchestra begins, has a better idea of that concert than that man has who supposes that the chief joys, of religion are in this world. We here have only the first note of the eternal orchestra. We shall in that world have the joy of discovery, - We will in five minutes catch up with the astronomers, the geolo- gists, the scientists, the philosophers of all ages who so far surpassed us in this world. We can afford to adjourn astron- omy and geology and'many of the sciences of the next world, because we shall there have better apparatus and better oppor- tunity. I must study these sciences so far as to help me in my work ; but beyond that I must give myself to saving my own soul and saving the souls of others, know- ing that in one flash of, eternity we will catch it al]. Oh ! what an observatory iu which to study astronomy heaven will be —not by power of telescope, but by super- natural vision ; and if there be something doubtful ten million miles away, hy one stroke •of the wing you are there, by another stroke of the wing you are back again, and all in less tiine than I tell you catching it all in one flash ot eternity. And geology 1 What a place that will be to study geology, when the world is be- ing picked to pieces as easily as a school- girl in botanical lessons pulls the leaf from the corolla ! What a place to study archi- tecture, amid the thrones, and: the places and the cathedrals—St. Mark's and St, Paul's rockeries in comparison. Sometimes you wiith you could make the tour of the whole earth, wing around as others have gone ; but you have not the time, you have not the means. You will make that tour yet, during one musical pause in the eternal anthem. I say these things for the comfort of those people who are abridged in their opportunities— those people to whom life i3 a hum -drum, who toil and work; and toil and work, and aspire after knowledge but hat a no time to get it, and say, "If I had the opportunities which other people have, how 1 -would fill my grind and soul with grand thoughts !" Be not discouraged my friends. You are going to the university yet. Oh ! unglove your hand and give it to •me in congratulation on that scene. I feel as if I would shout. 1 will shout Hal. lelujah ! Dear Lord, forgive me that I ever complained about anything. If all this is before us, who cares for anything but God and Heaven, and eternal brother- hood? Take the crape off the doorbell. Your loved ones are only away for their health in a land ambrosial. Come Lowell Mason; come Isaac Watts, and give us your best hymn about, joy celestial. What ie the use of postponing our heaven any longer? Let it begin now: and whoso- ever bath a harp. let her thrum it: and vvatusoewer natn a trumpet, ,let 1:11)n blow it: , and whorsoever hath an organ, let hire give us a full diapason. They crowd down the air spirits blessed, moving" in cavalcade of triumph., Their chariot wheels whirl in the Sabbath'sunli ht. Theycome. Halt 1 armies of God. Halt ! until we are ready to join the battalion of pleasures that never die. A HINT IN FORESTRY. Tree (Growing a Profitable Industry Under Certain Circumstances, The ',Department of Agriculture at Wash- ington has a Forestry Branch, and in many ot the Northern States Commissioners are appointed to look after the forests of the States and encourage their preservation be- cause of their great value to the whole pro- perty interests of the country. In the Western States in which are, or were, ex- tensive treeless tracts, the planting of large areas to forest trees, valuable either for timber or protection from the very pre- valent bleak winds of those regions, has been encouraged and stimulated by auitable legislation, The Eastern States, once heavily timbered, are agitating the matter more and more earnestly as the evil effects of denudation of large areas become ap- parent, and strenuous efforts are being made in New York and New Hampshire especially, to have the State buy the tim- bered lands around the head waters• of the larger rivers in order to conserve the agri- cultural and commercial welfare of the country watered by the outfiowing streams. The matter comes up every winter in our own State Legislature, and it is not neces- sary to give the very strong arguments which are used in its behalf. The particular point to which attention is called at this time is the profit of plant- ing timber trees on the rough, hilly, rocky pasture lands in Western New York, es- pecially in the southern tier of counties. Even in so heavily -timbered a State as Blaine, the farmers are beginning to see the importance, from a pecuniary point of view, of planting timber trees. It has been suc- cessfully tested in Southern New Hamp- shire, and the. Lewiston, Me., Journal says there is no reason why the young forest growth should not have as much protection as game, and that on the thin, rocky soils white pine can be grown with little care and great profit. A sapling pine growth is a constant source ofincome after the trees are 10 or 12 years old. Those left 25 to 30 years are large enough to be sawed into box boards, or stave bolts,: If the trees were planted on fairly good soil the distance between the rings of branches will be long- enough for barred staves. If theround is poor the trees grow more slowly, and the ditance betweethe whorls is less, but great enough to supply staves for mackerel kits, tubs, etc. The timber is worth more if barrel staves can be cut, but in either case a tree 25 or 30 years old -will yield many dollars' worth of clear timber. Speculators are beginning to bay: large tracts of rough laud in the New -England States because they can get them at low prices. If afew old, scrubby pines are growing thereon, they are willing to pay more, because these trees seed the land spontaneously if stock is kept out a few years. Young pines two or three years old, however, can be obtained for $10 or $12 per thousand, and if thickly set, say 250 trees per acre, systematic cutting can begin in 10 years, and a continual crop is surd for 20 or 30 years, worth from $40 to $60 per acre every year. As no cultivation canbe given after the trees are five or six years old, it will be seen that as a perma- nent investment there can be nothing bet- ter on land that is not otherwise saleable for more than $10 to $25 per acre. On hgh i -priced• lands • nearcities and vil- lages the lages crops yielding immediate returns are of course the more profitable, but there is a good deal of cheap, rough land in Western New -England on which the planting of pine, walnut, catalpa, hickory, maple and other hardy timber trees world prove a better investment than the buying of more land, lending money •to a neighbor on a farm mortgage, or buying wheat or corn options in Chicago.—Globe. RAILROADING ON THE ICE. Tracks Laid Every Winter Across the Frozen St. Lawrence. The communications between the two shores of the St. Lawrence River at Mont- real aro made, as is known, by means of the Victoria Tubular Bridge, constructed some thirty-five years ago, which is the longest in the world, the metallic span being 6,500 feet long. But from this point to the Atlantic, for a distance of 1,000 miles, there is no other bridge and all the railroads established on both sides the St. Lawrence have necessari- lyto cross it. The company of the Grand runk railroad, which built it, levies a right of Way toll of . 1per car and g y � O a eight cents perpassenger. _ To avoid payment of these moneys the S. E. railroad company had the idea, some ten years ago of constructing in winter a communication between the two shores by means of a railroad established on the ice. Every winter the work is done over again, and it amply pays for the outlay. The length of this ice road is about tws miles, between. Hochelaga and Longueil. The roadway is easily built. The track leaves the main track parallelyto the shore, then curves gradually in such a manner as to be perpendicular to it, and, then, again, before it, strikes the other shore, it curves anew so as to become nearly parallel to the opposite side, and then it is connected with the main track on this shore. • The Newest Invention'. A paper tube for insulating purposes, composed of a layer of waterproof paper covered with a layer of asbestos previously treated with soluble glass. A corn -popping machine, consisting of a revolving ease insideanother which revolves at a different rate, the former taking up the corn as fast, as popped. A razor with a rotary cutting cylinder and an opposing stationary blade, the cyl- inder being rotated by a gear actuated by the thumb and finger.
