Dr. Talmage, in his sermon in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this forenoon, spread before the great audi- ence in eloquent words the beauty and at- tractiveness of the Gospel feast, the text chosen being from. Luke 14 : 18: "And they all with one consent began to make excuses:" After the invitations to a levee are sent out, the regrets come in. One man apolo- gizes tor non-attendance on one ground, an- other on another ground. The most of the regrets are founded on prior engagements. So in my text a great banquet was spread, the invitations were circulated, and now the regrets come in. The one gives an agricultural reason the other a stock -deal- er reason, the other a domestic reason. All poor reamons. The agricultural reason being that the man had bought a farm and wanted to see it. Could he not see it the next day? The stock -dealer's reason being that he had bought five yoke of oxen, and he wanted to go and prove them. He had no business to buy them until he knew what they were. Besides that, a man who can own five yoke of oxen can com- mand his own time. Besides that, he might have yoked two of them together and driven them on the way to the banquet, for locomotion! Was not, as rapid then as now. The man who gave the domestic season said he had got married. He ought to have taken his wife with him. The fact was, they did not want to go. "And they all with one consent began to make excuse." So now God spreads a great banquet; it is the Gospel feast, and the table reaches scrosis the hemispheres, and the invitations go out, and multitudes come and sit down and drink outjof the chalices of God's love, while other multitudes decline coming - the one giving this apology and the other - giving that apology, "and they, all with one consent begin to make excuse.' I propose ' this morning, so far as God may help me, to examine the apologies which men make for not entering the Christian life. Apology the first: I am not sure there is anything valuable in the Christian re- ligion. It is pleaded that there are so many impositions in this day, so many things that seem to be real are sham. A gilded outside may have a hollow inside; there is so much quackery in physics in ethics, in politica, that men come to the habit a incredulity to collide with our holy Btt,m religion. y friends,[ think religion has made a pretty good record in the world. How meny wounds it has salved, how many pil- lars of fire it has lifted in the midnight wilderness, how many simoon-struck Sa,haras it hath turned into the gardens of the Lord; how it hath stilled the chopped sea; what rosy light it hath sent streaming through the rift of the storm -cloud wrack; what peels of cool water it hath gathered for thirsty Hagar and Ishmael ; what manna whiter than coriander seed it hath dropped all around the camp of hardly-bestead pilgrims; what promises it hath sent out like holy watches to keep the lamps burning around death -beds ; through the darkness that lowers into the sepulchre, what flashes of resurrection morn! Besides that, this religion has made so many heroes. It brought Summerfield the great Methodist, across the Atlantic Ocean with the silver trumpet. to blow the accept- able year of the Lord, until it seemed as if all our American cities would take the king- dom of heaven by violence. It sent Jehudi Ashman into Africs alone, in a continent of naked barbarians, to lift the standard of ' civilization and Christianity. It made John! Milton among poets, Raphael among! paint ers, Christopher NV ren among architects, Thorwaldsen among sculptors, Handel among musicians, Dupon among military commanders; and to give new wings to the imagination. and better balance to the judgment, and more determination to the will and greater usefulness to the life, and grander nobility to the soul, there is nothing in ail the earth like our Christian religion. Nothing in religion! Why, then all those Christiane were deceived, when in their dying.moments they thought they saw the castles of the blessed; and your child, that with unutterable agony you put away into the grave, you will never she him again nor hear his sweet voice, nor feel the throb of his young heart? There is nothing in religion! Sickness will come upon you. Roll and turn on your pillow. No relief. The medicine may be bitter, the night may be dark, the pain may be sharp. No relief. Christ never comes to the sick room. Let the pain- stab. Let the fever burn. Curse it ,and die. There is no- thing in religion. After awhile death will come. You will hear the paw- ing of the pale horse on the threghold. The spirit will be breaking away from the body, and it will take flight -whither? whither? There is no God, no ministering angels to conduct, no Christ, no heaven, no home. Nothing in religion! Oh! you are not will- ing to adopt sueh a dismal theory. And yet the world is full of sceptics. And let me say there is no class of people for whom I have a warmer sympathy than for seep - tics. We do not know how to treat them. We deride them, we caricature them. We, instead of taking them by the soft hand of Christian love, clutch them with the ken pinchers of ecclesiasticism. Oh! if you knew how those men had fallen away from Chris- tianity and become sceptics, you would not be so rough on them. Some were brought up in homes where religion was overdone. The most wretched day in the week was Sunday. Religion was driven into them with a trip-hammer. They had a surfeit of prayer -meetings. They were stuffed and choked with catechisms. They were told by their parents that they were the worse children that ever lived, because they liked to ride down hill better than to read "Pil- grim's Progress." They never heard their parents talk of religion but with the cor- ners of their mouths drawn down and the eyes rolled up. Others went into scepticism through mal- treatment on the part of some who profess- ed religion. There is a man who says, "my partner in business was voluble in prayer - meeting; and he was officious in all religibus circles; but he cheated me out of three thousand dollars, and I don't want any of that religion." There are others who got into scepticism by a natural persistence in asking questions, why? or how? How can God be one being in three persons? They cannot understand it. Neither can I. How can God be a com- plete sovereign, and yet man a free agent? They cannot understand it. Neither can L They cannot understand why a holy God lets sin come into the world. Neither can I. They say, "Here is a great mystery; here is a disciple of fashion, frivolous and god- less all her days -she lives on to be an octo- genarian. Here is a Christian mother train- ing her children for God and for heaven, self-sacrificing, Christ -like, iedispensable, seemingly, to that household -she takes the cancer and dies." The sceptic says, "I can't explain that." Neither can I. Oh 1 I can see how men reason them- selves into ecepticism. With burning feet I have trod that blistering way. I know what it is to have a hundred nights poured into one hour. There are men in this audience who would give their thouaands of dollars if they could get back to the old religion of their fathers. Such men are not to be caricatured. but helned. and not FARM FOR SALE. -For sale, that desirable and conveniently situated farm,adjoining the village of Redgerville, being Lot 14, lst Concession, Hay, mile from Rodgerville post -office, and one and a half miles south of Hensall on the London Road.

They do not know the nature of soil nor the pro- per rotation of crops. Their corn is shorter in the stalk and smaller in the ear. They have ten less bushels to the acre than their neighbors. But who declines beieg a far- mer because there are so many poor far- mers? o There are thousands of incompetent mer- chants. They buy at the wrong time. They get cheated in the sale of their goods. Every bale of goods is to them a bale of dis- aster. They tail after awhile and go out of business. But who declines to be a mer- chant because there are so many incompe- tent merchants? There are thousands of poor lawyers. They cannot draw a declara- tion that will stand the test. They cannot recover just damages. They cannot help a defendant escape from the injustice of his persecutors. They are the worst' evidence against any case in which they are retain- ed. But who declines to be a lawyer be- cause there are so many incompetent law- yers? Yet there are tens of thousands of people who decline being religious because there are so many unworthy Christians. Now, I say it is illogical. Poor lawyers are nothing against jurisprudence, peer physicians are nothing against medicine, poor farmers are nothing against agricul- ture, and mean, contemptible professors of religion are nothing against our glorious Christianity. Sometimes you have been riding along on a summer night by a swamp, and you have seen lights that kindled over decayed vege- tation -lights which are called Jack-o'- lantern or Will-o'-the-wisp. These lights are merely poisonous miasmata. My friends, on your way to heaven you will want a better light than the Will-o'-the- wisps which dance on the rotton character of dead Christians.

Oh ! then we will not stop and say, "There was a mean Christian ; there was a cowardly Christian ; there was a lying Christian ; there was pan impure Christian." In that day as now, "If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself ; but if thou scornest, thou shalt alone bear it." Why, my brother,the inconsistency of Christians, so far from an argument to keep you awsy from God, ought to be an arguinent to drive you to Him. The best place for • skilful doctor is in a neighborhood where they are ail poor doctors, the best place for an enterprising merchant to open his store is in a place where the bargain -mak- ers do not understand their business; and the best place for you who want to become the illustrious and complete Christisu-the best place for you is to come right down among us who are so incompetent and in- consistent sometimes. Other persons apologize for not becoming Christians because they lack time. As though religion muddled the brain of the accountant, or tripped the pen of the au- thor, or thickened the tongue of the orator, or weakened the arms of the mechanic, or scattered the briefs of the lawyer, or inter- rupted the sales of the merchant. They bolt their store doors against it, and fight it back with trowels and with yard sticks, and cry, "away with your religion from our store, our office, our factory 1" They do not understand that religion in this workaday world will help you to do anything you ought to do.

No time to be religious here! You have no time not to be religious. You might as well have no clerks in your store, no books in your library, no compass on your ship, no rifle in the battle, no hat for your head no cost for your back, no shoes for your feet. Better travel on toward eternity barehead and barefooted and houseless and homeless and friendless, thsn to go through life with- out religion. Did religion make Raleigh any less of a statesman, or Havelock any less of a soldier, or Grinnell any less of a mer- chant, or West any less of a painter? Religion is the best security in every bargain, it is the sweetest nota in every song, it is the brightest gem in every coro- net. No time to be sick. to be troubled, to die. Our world is only the wharf from which we are to embark for heaven. No time to secure the friendship of Christ. No time to buy a lamp and trim it for that walk through the darkness which other- wise will be illuminated only by the white- ness of the tombstones. No time to educate the eye for heavenly splendors, or the hand for choral harps, or the ear for everlasting songs, or the soul for honor, glory and im- mot tality.

Miss Mary Redmond, whose colossal statue to Father Mathew has just been un- veiled in Dublin, is the youngest sculptor who has received commissions for important public monuments. She was notout of her teens when her Model was selected out of twenty-five designs sent in for the me- morial to the late District Inspector Mar- tin who was murdered at Donegal. The officers ot the Royal Irish Constabulary gave her the commissions on August 17, 1889, and the complete monument was erected the following year in the hall of the officers' quarters isi Phcenix Park. In 1889 Miss Redmond modeled Mr. Dwyer Gray and Mr. Gladstone, and her next commis- sion was the present monument to Father Mathew. Her model having won the com- petition, she forthwith fitted up a etudio, and set up her design, having for model a "charity boy" of 20, named Richard Hun- ter, whom she had rescued from starvation. By May, 1891, the colossal clay model was ready for the inspection of the com- mittee. The girl artist was awaiting the judgment of the committee, when one day on going to the studio the lad Hunter, who had resented his dismissal, met her at the door and told her that he had "done for her statue." The statue was, indeed, a ruin, for even the framework was entirely destroyed. The boy was on Wednesday, June 10, 1891, condemned to seven years' penal servitude. The brave girl, having begged tor an extension of time, set to work again with such indomitable zeal that within a month the figure had once more taken shape. On May 21, 1892, the com- mittee visited the studio, for the second time and inspected the completed clay cast, which they pronounced would "con- trast favorably with any existing portrait on canvas or in stone."

A curious state of affairs prevails in France in relation to women. A French woman may become a doctor, a lawyer, a member of the Board of Education, and may even be decorated with the cross of the Legion ot Honor; but she may not wit - nese a legal document. She occupies an important place in art, business and com- merce; but she cannot possess her own earnings if she is married, and she can neither buy nor sell property without her husband's consent. Worth's Methods. Worth, the great Parisian man milliner, has almost discarded the Empire and taken up the 1830 style, with modifications. His sleeves are all balloon form at the top, and frills or flounces of the mateeial or lace formed capes, pointed at the back and front, and passing over the top of the bal- loon sleeve, forming an epaulette, thus add- ing considerably to the width of the wear- er's shoulders.
