s-Rev. Dr. 'Talmage preached from
the following text II. Chronicles ix,
9, Of spices great abundance; nei-
ther was there any such spice as the
Queen of Sheba gave King Solomon"
What is that building out there
glittering in the sun ? Have you
not heard ? It is the house of the
forest of Lebanon. Kong Solomon
has just taken to it his bride, the
princess of Egypt. You see the pil-
lars of the portico and a great tow-
el., adorned with 1,000 shield& of
gold hung on the outside of the tow-
er-500 of the shields of gold manu-
factured at Solomon's order, 500

in battle. See how they blaze in
the noonday sun I
Solomon goes up the ivory stairs
of his throne between 12 lions in
statuary and sits down on the back
of the golden bull, the head of the
huge beast turned toward the peo-
ple. The family and the attendants
of the king are so many that the cat-
erers of the palace have to provide
every day 100 sheep and 13 oxen,
besides the birds and the venison.
I hear the stamping and pawing of
4,000 fine horses in the royal sta-
bles. There were important officials
who had charge of the work of gath-
ering Use straw and the barley for
these horses. King Solomon was an
early riser, tradition says, and used
to take a ride out at daybreak, and
When in his white apparel, behind
the swiftest horses of all the realm
and followed by mounted archers in
purple, as the cavalcade da.shed
through the streets of Jerusalem I
suppose it was something worth get-
ting up at 5 o'clock in the morning
to look at.
Solomon was not like some of the
kings of the present day—crowned
imbecility. All the splendors of his
palace and retinue were eclipsed by
his intellectual power. - Why, he
seemed to know everything. He was
the first great naturalist the world
ever saw. Peacocks from India
strutted the basaltic walks, and apes
chattered in the trees, and deer
stalked the parks, and there were
aquariums with foreign fish and avi-
aries with foreign birds, and tradi-
tion says these birds were so well
tamed that Solomon might walk
clear across the city under the sha-
dow of their wings as they hovered
and flitted about him.
fron and cinnamon and cassia end
frankincense and all sweet spices to-
gether. "Oh," you say "I have not
looked at it as such. Thought it
was a nuisance. It had for me a re-
pulsion. I held my breath as though
it were a malodor. I have been ap-
palled at its advance. I have said
if I have any religion at all I want
to have just as little of it as possi-
ble to get through With." Oh, what
a mistake you have made, my bro-
ther! The religion of Christ is a
present and everlasting redolence. It
counteracts all trouble. Just put
it on the stand beside the pillow of
sickness. It catches in the curtains
and perfumes the stifling air. It
sweetens the cup of bitter medicine
and throws a glow on the gloom of,
the turned lattice. It is a balm for
the aching side and a soft bandage
for the temple stung with pain.
Why did you look so sad this
morning when you came in ? Alas
for the loneliness and the heart-
break and the load that is never
lifted from your soul ! Some of
you go about feeling like Macaulay
when he wrote, "If I had another
month of such days as I have been
spending, I would be impatient to
get down into my little narrow crib
in the ground, like a weary factory
child." And there have been times
in your life when you wished you
could get out of this lifes'eileou have
said, "Oh, how sweet to my lips
would be the dust of the valley !"
and wished you could pull over you
in your last slumber the coverlet 'of
green grass and daisies. You have
said "Oh, how beautifully quiet
it must be in the tomb I I wish
I were there."
I see all around about me widow-
hood and orphanage and childless-
ness ; sadness, disappointment, per-
plexity. If I could ask all those in
my audience who have felt no sor-
row and been buffeted by no disap-
pointment—if I could ask all such to
rise, how many would rise ? Not
One. -
Some one could not understand
why ad old German Christian
scholar used to be always so calm
and happy and hopeful when he had
so many trials and sicknesses and
ailments. A man secreted himself in
the house. He said "I mean to
watch this old scholar and Chris-
`tian." And he saw the old Chris-
tian man go to his room and sit
down on the chair beside the stand
and open the Bible and begin to

his Bible and said : "Blessed Lord,

REFUSE STATE CONTROL.
Dominion Alliance Rejects the
Proposition, •
Prior to the recent meeting of the
Dominion Alliance at Toronto there
was a good deal of concern among
many temperance people in Canada
lest the advocates of "state control"
should succeed in securing the en-
dorsement of that project by the
convention. Several prominent mem-
bers of the alliance, particularist
some members of the Provincial Al-
liance of Ontario, had been deceived
by the specious statistics given out
by the advocates of the dispensary
and Gothenburg systems and were
believed to be ready to endorse a
modification of one or the other of
those plans of liquor selling. In the
Provincial Alliance, however, one of
these gentlemen who load been ex-
pected to endorse the system made
a vigorous speech against the theory
of state control declaring that the
only animal that never changed his
mind was a long eared beast, to
which variety he did not belong:
His change. of mind had come about
by a careful study of the facts con-
concerning the two systems. There
was practically no effort to secure
the endorsement of state control by
the Provincial Alliance.
In the Dominion Alliance, however,
there was an hour and a half of in-
teresting debate upon the subject,
but the opposition to the proposi-
tion to make the Govermnent a sa-
loonkeeper was decidedly in the ma-
jority from the beginning and the
measure never had a chalice to ob-
tain the endorsement of the Alliance.

FATHER OF LACROSSE•
A National Monument to the Late
' ' Dr. Beers.
The project of perpetuating the me-
mory of the late Dr. W. George Beers
of Montreal, "The Father of La-
crosse," was originally proposed by
Mr. W. K. MeNaught at the close of
a short sketch of Dr. Beer's career
published in the Toronto World a
few days after his lamented death in
December last. At the invitation of
the poesident, Mr. MeNaught ad-
dressed the annual convention of the
Canadian Lacrosse - Assoeiation
which met at Toronto on Good Fri-
day, with the result that the project
was unanimously and enthusiastical-
ly endorsed, and it was left to the
incoming Council of the Association
to devise some plan whereby the
clubs in its membership could give it
the financial assistance that its mer-
its demanded.
At a recent meeting the Council de-
cided that the most effective way of
doing this would be for each of the
clubs in the Association to play a
benefit match this fall, the net pro-
ceeds of which would be devoted to
the "Beer's Memorial Fund."
The matter was also brought be-
fore the annual convention of the Na-
tional Lacrosse Association by Mr.
A. W. Rutter, President of the To-
ronto Lacrosse Club, and was unani-
mously endorsed by that organiza-
tion, and we understand that the
clubs composing it have also agreed
to play matches for the benefit of
the fund this fall.
In addition to this the project has
been warmly taken -up by Dr. Beer's
old club, the Montreal Amateur Ath-
THE LATE DR. W. GRO. BEERS.
letic Association, the largest and
most influential athletic. club in Can-
ada, who are organizing a thorough
personal canvass amongst the La-
crosse players and business men of
Montreal on 'behalf of this fund.
A similar personal canvass of To-.
ronto has also been" undertaken un-
der the 'direction of Mr. MeNaueht,
to that it now looks ,as though the
scheme will be brought to a success-
ful issue.
The proposed memorial will be
erected in the city of Montreal at a
cost of from $10,000 to $12,000, the
construction and design of which will
largely depend upon the liberality, of
the subscriptions.
In order to make the monument
"national" in every respect sub-
scriptions are being solicited Crett
every part of the Dominion from the -
Atlantic to the Pacific. Lacrosse is
now beyond dispute the national
genie of Canada, and for that rea-
son the promoterS of the Beer's Me-
marial feel that it should be truly
national In character so that Cana-
dians from
In_
part of our great
Dominion shall not only be able to
point to it with pride, but have the
satisfaction of claiming a share in
its erection.
Dr. Deers . well deserves such an
honor. 'Not only was he the "Fath-
er of' Lacrosse. ''but he 'was'in a
large measure responsible for the
volunteer Inclement that swept over
'Canada during the —Trent' affair • of
the early sixties, having termed:what
has shire become the Victoria 'Rifles
of Montreal on that memoreble toe
easion.
Not only did Dr. Beers found the
game of lacrosse, personally °stabs'
Welling clubs in many of the cities of
Ontario and Quebec, but he conduct-
ed two lacrosse Colors through Great
Britain and transplanted the game
there. The second of these tours (in
1883) was also intended to further
emigration-to Canada, and during its
inception mid progress the team and
their friends distributed throughout
Great Britain 800,000 pamphlets and
500,000 illustrated books about Can-
ada and its resources, a book, the
value of which to this country it
would be difficult to estimate.
Dr. Beers was a staunch Britisher
and an ardent Imperialist, aricrwillen-
ever the occasion required he gave
forth no uncertain sound regarding
the duty of Canada upon National
questions. With an intense love Mr
Canada, his Dative country, s he
nevertheless believed in Canada as
an integral part of the British Em-
pire. His speech at the annual meet-
ing of the American'Dental Associa-
tion held at Syracuse some yeera ago
in which lie chamPiOned Canada
against the United States, was a
masterpiece -iii its way, and showed
the calibre of the -man and his .utter
fearlessness when he believed himself
to be in the right. This speech was
published in Canadian papers from
Halifax to Vancouver., and was every-
where commented on as one of the
ablest and most patriotic addresses
ever delivered by any Canadian. The
lives of such men as Dr. Beers are a
priceless heritage to the people of
any country, and the perpetuation of
their achievements in some public
and enduring form will undoubtedly
act as all incentive to generations
yet to come, to emulate their ex-
ample...

THE S. S. LESSON.
INTERNATIONAL LESSON.
SEPT. 1.
Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxvi.,
25. Golden Text, Math, V. 9.
13, 13. Isaac sowed in
that land and reeeived in the same
year a hundredfold, and the Lord
blessed him." The previous chapter
told us not only of the death and
burial of Abraham and his son,
Ishmael, but also of the birth of
Isaac's two sons, Jacob and Esau,
and how Esau despised his birth-
right, preferring a present enjoyment
to a future inheritance (Heb. xii, 16,
17). The beginning of our present
chapter tells of a second famine and
of Isaac going to sojourn among the
Philistines at Gerar. The Lord ap-
peared to him and confirmed ilis
promise to Abraham and gave him
"the stars of heaven" portion of the
covenant. He fell into his father's,
sin concerning his wife, and was re-
buked by Abimelech ; truly the heart
is deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked (Ter. xvii, 9),
even the heart of Abraham, and the
heart of Isaac, and your heart and
mine. All that God does He does
for His great name's sake, pardon-
ing our iniquities when we confess
our sins (I John i, 9 ; For. xiv, 7).
14, 15. "The Philistines envied
him." The majority of mere natural
people would be apt to envy one
whom they saw blessed and increas-
ing, as Isaac was. It -was contemp-
tible to fill his wells with earth, but
that woo human, too, and devilish,
for the merely human is apt to be
much used by the devil. To see him
prospering notwithstanding these
hindrances was more than they
could stand and must have made
them full of indignation. Envy and
strife is earthly, sensual, devilish,
and leads to confusion and every
evil work (Jas. iii, 14-16 ; Titus
iii, 8). It is bad enough among
those who know not God, but when
it gets into churches and families it
works great havoc and -greatly
grieves the Holy Spirit (Acts vii, 9;
Eph. iv, 30-32).
16, 17. "Go from us, for thou art
much mightier than we." Thus they
sent him away, as he said after-
ward when they wanted his favor.
"Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye
hate me and have sent me away
from you ?" (verse 27). The pre-
sence of the righteous is often a
great torment to the ungodly ; they
cannot stand the sight ; it is too
strong for their weak eyes. Isaacs
might have reasoned and argued
with them to have insisted on re-
maining where he was, and have de-
fied them to send him away, but he
Was not that kind of a man ; he was
more inclined to yield for peace sake;
he was a mart of peals.
18, 19. Unless we know something
of the meaning of scarcity of water
we shall net appreciate what these
Wells meant', -and the enormity. of
the sin of,-stepping them. TO. many
People in India, where they have to
go miles for water, a well is an in-
estimable boon, When in South
Africa, spending a day at a mission
in Natal, my wife, having washed
hen hands, was about to throw out
thee water, , when she was greeted
with such an exclamation of surprise
and fear from several lady mission-
aries as she will not soon forget.
They then told her that water was
so scarce that they must all wash
in that Neater. To stop the wells as
the Philistines did because of their
hatred was about equal to murder.
See I John iii, 15. •
20, 21. The contention and hatred
manifested by these unrighteous
and wicked Philistines (see the mar-
ginal meaning of the. names Isaac'
gave theses wells because of the
strife) were certainly hard to put up
with, and only by the marvellous
grace of God could Isaac have acted
as he did and yielded again and
again to these unjust people the
wells his servants had digged. Make
the case your own ; •putryoureelf ,as
far as 'you can in his place, that you
may in some measure appreciate it. • 7
.22, 23;,l "Now the Lord bath made
room --forlos, and we shall -be fruit-
ful in theOand." This he said when
after - iligehltut a third well they did
not strive for .that One.. After that
he removed to Beersheba. Submis-
sion to, wrong and oppression for
the Lord's sake is not human, but
is Christlike and is a strong testi-
mony for him as we shall see. If we
had anointed ears, we might often
hear our Lord say to us, "Suffer- it
to be sd now" (Math. iii, 15), and
it would not seem so difficult if we
would consider Him who endured
such contradiction of sinners against
HiniSell ; who, when He was reviled,
reviled not again (Heb. xii, 3 ; I
Pet. ii, 23).
24. "And the Lord appeared' unto
him the same night and said, I am
the God of Abraham thy father ;
fear not, for I am with thee, and
will-bless thee." What a reward for
his meekness, a new revelation of
God to him that very night with
His glorious "Fear not, 1 am with
thee." How small a well, or a
dozen wells, and all one could be
called upon to bear seem in com-
parison with such a reyelation and
assurance ! Truly the sufferings of
this present time are not ivorthy to
be compared with the -glory that is
and shall be ours (Rom. viii, 18).
25. "And .he builded an altar there
and called upon the name of the
Lord and pitched his tent there ;
and there Isaac's servants digged
well." A tent with the Lord is
enough ; the Lord without the tent
is enough, for a believer should be
able to say. with much assurance,
"Lord, Thou art my dwelling place"
(Pe. xc, 1). The tent, the altar,
and the words from Good, "Fear
not, for I am with thee and will
bless thee," are all and more than
Heart can wish. It must have been
the power of the presence of God
that enabled Isooac to act so meek-
ly. See in the verse 28 the sequel
and note the testimony of Abime-
lech and his officers, "We saw cer-
tainly that the Lord was. with thee."
The Lord was seen en Isaac in his
yieldingness, for "yielding pacheeth
great offenses," and we are exhorted
to let our yieldedness be. known to
all men, for the Lord is at hand
(Eccl. x, 4 ; Phil. iv, 5). Had Isaac
stood for his rights, as we say, in
the matter of the wells,God would
not have been seen in him. We must
contend earnestly for the faith
(Jude 3), but when we can, avoid
strife by a little yielding let us
yield in His name, though it may
seem a personal loss. Isaac might
have sent these Philistines away
and have refused further intercourse
because -oestheir former conduct, but
grace again prevails, and now we
see the sequel to this yieldedness.
Isaac's servants were diggiug a well
at Beersheba and that same day
they came and told Isaac that they
had found water (verse 22),
CROSS-BRED CROPS.
Natural Types of Food improved
Artificially.
The latest and most daring experi-
ment of modern agriculture was in-
spected the other day by a party of
gentlemen from London who found it
well worth while to spend the whole
sultry day ill a railway carriage for
the sake of one short hour on a
farm planted among the Lancashire
mills at Newton-le-Willows, says the
London Express, It is here that
Messrs. Garton (Limited), have the
results of twenty years' research in
a hitherto undiscovered domain .of. evolution.
They have done what no one else
except, perhaps; Major Hallett, has
ever seriously thought of—they have
actually bred wheat, oats, barley,
and other field plants in order to
produce the perfect type, just as the
farmer breeds animals.
The significance of this is very
strange. Nature has denied to cere-
als the opportunity of -cross-fertilie--
ation ; Messrs Garton have artifi-
cially supplied and fostered it. And
the results of to-day are as startl-
ing as the theory was twenty years
ago, when Mr. John Garton, the
youngest of three brothers, started
to put it into practice.
A stock of wheat can be produced
by cross-fertilization which combines
the best characteristics, of wheats
from all parts of the world. It is
in very truth a new breed of wheat,
and it is different from and better
than any other by reason of in-
creased yield, earlier maturity, and
greater strength of straw.
Oats and barley have similarly
been bred to produce new and im-
proved types. English barley has
three grain$ to each. spike ; elabor-
ately cross-fertilized on scientific
methods, that very stalk produces a
descendant with seventeen grains in-,
stead of three only to each spike.
Breeding will do more ; it will
eliminate the husks of both barley
and oats, and so increase their nu-
tritive value that these cereals may
eventually supply "breakfast foods."
These are new triumphs of evolu-
tion and artificial, not natural se-
lection which are actually accom-
plished by Messes. Garton. The die
covery should belong to the nation,
for it was freely. mid unconditionally .
offered to the Goverareent three
times, but finally decided, not be-
cause it fails, but because there was
no precedent to act upon.
Surely no precedent is necessary
for a ^ discovery like this, which
could never be more important than
That is-proved by experiment to

COAL MINING UNDER THE SE.A.
to the acting engineer's remasks at a
recent Meeting of the shareholders in
London, four menthe must elapse
and £10,000 more be spent before
the first coal seam, at a depth of
1,176 feet below high water mark is
reached. At depths increasing to 2,-
400 feet there is a series of scams
to be worked.
Pastures were in prime condition
in the early 'part of this season, but
fell off about the second ,week in
July. However, heavy rains were
falling, as correspondents wrote,
and the prospects were that pas-
tures would soon pick up again.
Prices for both cheese and butter
have been most encouraging to dai-
rymen, and the bulk of correspond-
ents are cheerful as to the outlook
for fall and winter supplies.

FOUNDATIONS OF GOLD.
The Religion of Christ Counteracts
All Trouble.
Well, my friends, you know that
all theologians agree in making Sol- read, Ho read on and on, chapter
onion a type of Christ and in mak- after chapter, hour after hour, until
. lag the Queen of Sheba a type of his face was all aglow with the
every truth seeker, and I will take tidings from heaven, and when the
the responsibility of saying that all
the spikenard and caesia and frank-
incense which the Queen of Sheba
brought to King Solomon are might-
ily suggestive of the sweet spices of
our holy religion. Christianity is
not a collection of sharp technicali-
ties and angular facts and chrono-
logical tables and dry statistics.
Our religion is compared to frankin-
cense and to cassia, but never to
night-shade. 3t is a bundle_ a
li agiffle It le a- dash of Holy fight.
It is a sparkle of cool fountains. It
is -an opening of opaline gates. It
is a collection of.spices. Would God
that we were as, wise in taking
spices to our Divine King as Queen
Balkis was wise in taking spices to
the earthly Solomon.
The feet is that the duties and -
-
and
cares of this life, coming to us from
time to time, are stupid often and
inane and intolerable. Here are men
who have been battering, climbing,
pounding, hammering, for 20 years,
40 years, 50 years. One great long
drudgery has their life been, their
faces anxious, their feelings benumb-
ed, their days monotonous. What
is necessary to brighten up that
man's life and to sweeten that acid
. dispositiort and' to put sparkle into
the man's spirits? The spicery of
our holy religion. Why, if between
the losses of life there dashed the
gleam of an eternal gain, if between
the betrayals of life there came the
gleam of the undying friendship of
Christ, if in dull times in business
we found ministering spirits flying to
and fro in our office and store and
shop, everyday life instead of being
a stupid monotone would be a glor-
ious inspiration, penduluming be-
tween calm and satisfaction and high
rapture.
I would say also that we need to
put more spice and enlivenment in
our religious teaching, whether it be
in the prayer meeting or in the Sun-
day school or in the church. We
ministers need more fresh air and
sunshine. in our lungs and our heart
and our -head. Do you wonder that
the world is so far from being con-
verted when you find so little viva-
city in the pulpit and in the pew?
We want, like the Lord, to plant in
our sermons and exhortations more
lilies of the field. We want fewer
rhetorical elaborations and fewer
sesquipedalian words, and when we
• talk about shadows we do not want
to -say adumbration, and when we
mean queerness we do not want to
talk about idipeyncrasies, or if a
stitch in the back 'we do not want to
talk about lumbago; but, in the plain
vernacular of the great masses,
preach that gospel which proposes to
make all men happy, honest, victori-
ous and free. In other words, we
want more cinnamon and less
gristle. Let this be so in all the
different departments of work to
which the Lord calls us. Let us be
plain. Let us be earnest. Let us
be common' seneical. When we talk
„to the people in a vernacular they
can understand, they will be very
glad to come and receive the truth
we present. Would to God that
Queen Balkis would drive her spice-
laden dromedaries into all the ser-
mons and prayer meeting exhort,
tions!
Now, I want- to impress you with
the fact that religion is sweetness
