SCHOOL TOILS.
Dr. Ta.image Gives Some
Good Advice.
A despatch frO111 Washington says;
Rev. Dr. Talmage prettched from the
following text: --"And Jonathan gave'
his artillery unto hie lad." -1 Sam-.
uel, xx., 40,
Jonathan, with a went out to
NV a r4 David of hie dang-er. The
shooting of arrows woes to be the
signal. The ineormation having been
given, Jonathan has no more use fou
the weapons, and so lae giVeS them
in charge of the boy to take home
again. "And J:onathan delivered his
aetillery unto his lad." Well, my
friends, we soon will all be through
with this earthly conflict, and we are
going to hand over Oar -weapons unto
the ehildren. They will take one pul-
pits, our press, our offices, our shops
our legislative halls, and to do bat,
tis for the eternal God. Wlao are
they Who are making Buddhism and
Mohamaneclism blanch and cower?
Our boys! Who are they who are
laoisting, .higher than the standard on
„Which is inscribed tho British lion
and the Russian bear the inore gloat -
Cala insignia of the Lamb that taketh
away the sin o,f the world? Our
boys/ And yet the 'Sabbath school
has only 'just begun its work. I
propose to mark onst what I consider
shall be the line of Sabbath school
advanee:
First, It will bcu through improv-
ed Sabbath school architecture. In
all our. Sabbath school •rooms let
there'lae plenty of light—light elem.
and beautiful, such as God pours out
of the sun ,every day—a world full of
it; not crowding- through small win-
dows cobwebbed •and stained, but
plenty of light, such as puts the blue
no the gentian aad the gold on the
cowslip, and spots the pansy, and
sends the mists of the valley in
.whirling columns of glory sky tall,
and, that at sunset pulls aside the
bars of heaven until the light of the
eelestial world strikes through the
cloud -racks and coanes dripping- over
the battlem•ent, in purple, and saffron
and orange and flaming fire! Then,
let such rooms .be well ventilated,
not the bottled -up air of other Sun-
days kept over from week to week, •
as though, like Wine, it imp!roved by
ages but fresh air, such as eanae,s
panting off the sea or moving down
the hillsides, sweeping up the aroma
of whole acres of redclover top. Have
the room bright and cheerful, In-
troduce not the "murder of the in-
nocents." Have the place bright
pictured, carpeted. The line of Sab-
• bath school advance shall be amid
pictured -walls and over carpeted
floors, and I give the command to-
day; Column, forward! Dress on the
colours! Fide right! Marehl And
there is no army that can stand be-
fore you. 'The cowards will fly like
thistle -down in a tempest. Until we
have in the 'United States and in Eng-
land the right kind of Sunday school
rooms, we will not have the right
kind of Sunday schools.
Again, I remark, the line of San -
day school advance in this country
will be through an improved Sunday
school literature. I ara amazed to
see what; kind of b9ok-a get into _the
Sunday school libraries: Sentimaeantal
love stories, biographies of generals
who wore very brave, but
vvho swore like troopers, fairy
stories, Oliver Optic, accounts of
boys and girls more wonderful than
ever lived—books that •have no more
religion in t.ham than "Huelibras" or
"Gulliver's Travel." The poor little
darling goes home with her library
book thinking she has heaven ander
her arm, ba,t by the time alae has read
through the story of love and adven-
ture, she feels so strange," she thinks
sthe Must be getting lots of religion! I
tell you there is no exeuse for getting
sickly or bad books in our Sunday
school libraries. Time was when there
was no juvenile literature worth any-
thing. 'Plaa beet minds of Europe and,
America are now preparing junvenire
literature. Reject from your Sunday
school likaeoriee all exaggeratione, of
life and all adventures that do well
enough for the romance, but are not
fit, for the child whesc taste is to be P
forme,d, and whose habits( are 'to be P
• established, and whose immortal soul k
is to be saved. Let not the fascina-
Lions of etyle apologiza. for the lack
of trath, Mistake not trash and shipa 5
for simplicay. Do not have your a

prehension, o r loiver than its dignity, t

school nibrariee in thia, Country need a r
hjessed fumigation and the !in,fuSion

, I remark again: One line of Sabbath- n
school advaoce will bo throngb an fin- I.

Will come when we will realize that
that. man did more f•or the race who
compesed a good Sabbath-s,hbool tune
than he whoi na.anahated an army or'
-conquered an _empire.
Again; The line of Sabbath -school
advance will be through trapeovect in -
a sr ttion. 'We aye greatmany
compet'ent men and woinen 'through
' the cannery engaged in this business,
but they are going to be more cern-
patent. What do you, aay is the first
qualification? You aeiy a man must
be a Christian. dei- not- agree with
you. I have. baplaz.ecl at the altar on
the same day SabbaLhasehool teach-
ers and their °lases. I voittlit hare
eVery teacher moral and upright. That
must be an indispensable requisi-
tion.; but just eartatinlah as a moral
and upright teacher comes into a
Sabbatheachool, though he be not a
Christian, he will find himself in the
path of ete.rnal life., It is irripes-
aiirle, for a moral inan or woman to
ait down by a class o2 five or ten
children, trying to lead .thern. into the
path of life without getting in him-
aelf. Who are those four parson's
:seated before you? Oh! you say,
they are boya, or they are girls. • „I
go further and say they are immaa_.
tal,s, and after theasun has died of. laid
age, and all the cou-ss ntleworlds that
glitter at night shall have been swept.
? oiff by the Almighty's breath as the
email dust of a threshiaig floor, those
children will live; so that this after-
noon,. ae you take your place before
the.na, look them in the eye, and as
you see them, interested in the lessen,
do your bost Inc God and etern!ty,
looking at hach of the lour, saying
, within yourself; ..gialacz tal 1 imulpr

• Be punctual. A late teache_r makes
late class. .a. punctual teaoher makes
a punctnal clase. 'With wod
nerful
regularity the world mores. Hundreds
o,f years before, the astronomer Will
tell you what time the sun will rise
and set. The queerest comet: has a
go that the. philosopher will tell
you what night it will first appear.
At just the aight time the bud bursts
and the leaf unfurla, and yet there
are thousands. of people in our Sun-
day-sehools and churches who are
alwaye. behind. if you should happen
to aec them prompt on any one 00-
casiion you would think it a phenom-
enon; you would have to look again
and again, lest it were an optical de-
lusion., The fact was they were born
too; late, and they will die
too late, and they will get up in
he :resurrection teo late, if it is
possible Inc,them to sleep oven,. Be
prompt—not only prompt at the be-
ginning, but prompt at the close. (A
Sabbathaschooll that lasts mere than
an hour and twenty minutes injures
the child and hurts the cause of
Christ. Children _get worn out, and
Christian workers get worn out, and
they are tufa for the ether duties of
the holy Sabbath day. Begin prompt -
lar at the right time. Close promptly
at the right time. You have a half
hour or an hour to do the work Inc
eternity. Never scowl or scold. in the
Sabbath-echool, You 'cannot catch chil-
dren with the vinegar of a sour
vis-
ige; yon may catch them 'with Gospel
honey. ,Let your featurea all shine out
the truth: " Religion haa made me
happy—religion will make you happy."

remark last: „of all; the line of

A great many people of my claulch liko

VICTORIA'S POSIES.
That G r `40, by
neand,
Victoria the GoOd had many hob-
, to remain at the gardeta. gate. Not
Judas, for he had left the -party to
_ betray his Master; not Peter nor.
f James nor John, as the next verse

prided horaelf.on her mastery oa Ilin
dos-taniec. She waS aia admirer o
Limo cattle., and had a weakness for
white •and "cream -colored" horees.
But above and beyond all other things,
Victoria loved flowers. As a girl and
as a young matron she gvas an
thusiastic gardener. Her big sun-
hat was alienist as familiar to tne gar -
of Wiindsor as were the car
nation beds in which the sovereign
was (especially feud of working, snip-
ping and clipping and weeding, to her
great content and the gardeners
amazement. One hoe the favorite
!stories told of Empress , Frederick ie
that when she was a small girl she
_was assisting her roya/ mother in the
flotwer bade. The Queen noticed that
the snaall Victoria did not wear gar-
dening gloves, and reminded her
that whe,n ,aha, the Queen, was a
child elle was net permitted to avoak
in the garden with bare hrinds. "Per-
haps not," said 'the young Victoria,
"but you were not _)porn yrincess It_oy-
al of England. I was."
The Queen's favorite flowers _were
a -leacher and her greelihonses always
boasted some Ln bloom, as the old as
well as the new varieties were culti-
vated by her gardeners. 'Roses un-
der glass were also a specialty r4r, the
Queen'a greenlaousesr anal the climb-
ing white niphatos was her Majesty's
favorite. Sho also loved" mignonette,

young, days, .
The orchid house. at Frogmore
shdevs SOM.?, rare plants, and the sac-
red bean of Egypt was always visited
in its flowering season .by its royal
owner; few cultivators succeed in
blooming it yearly, a fact of which
her Majeaty was justly proud. The
palm hocuaeis brightened by the scar-
let flowers:Of the pol,neettia, which
are cut in quantitiea for v.ase and ta-
ble decoration. For maidenhair ferns
the Queen had a fancy, and her tart-,
rate sitting room . was generally
adorned by a fine specimen or two.
The advance made in all branches
of gardening during 'her reign in-
terested the, QUeen much more than

and electric lighting. It was
only a few years ago that she

culture and try any now ',Methods of

• PRACTICAL NOTES.
Verse 86, Then cometn Jesus with
them. Twelve menaltogether, for
judaa had left%, Id was nearly mid-
oight. A place called Gethsemane.
"A koarden, called the oil press." There
were many suell gardens or orchards,
as we would mall them, oa the slopes
of Olivet, The Kidron, which they
crossed, is now a dry river -bed, and
even in our Lord's day does not seem
o have had any water except during
and immediately after the rainy sea-
son, but there was probably water in
it when Jesus crossed over. The walk
from the upper room to Gethsemane
was down sloping streets, along a
jagged edge, across a narrow and
probably babbling brook, and then up
the turfy sods of Mount Olivet. The
ancient Gethaenaane was probably far
below the present traditional site.
John tells us that Jesus oftentimes
resorted tlaillaer with his disciples, and
it is supposed to have belonged to a
pereonal friend. Sit ye here. Prob-
ably at the garden gate. While Igo
and pray yonder. Probably in the
shady depths of the orchard. It will
interest the scholars to search for the
names of the disciples that were told

which eight are left?
37. He took with him Peter and
th,e two sons of Ze-bedrie. The parti-
ality a Jesus Inc these three men—
Peter, James, and John—is noticeable
throughout the gospel story. They
had been with him lv,heu he called
back a human spirit from the region
of the dead, they had been with him
at; the zenith of his career, when de
was transfigured; he has reached thc
nadirnow, and his human fondness
still clings to their sympathy. Began
to be sorrowful and very heavy. "Sor-
rowful and sore troubled" is the Re-
vised Version. Dr. • Abbott thus
states a deep truth; "The desire for
fellowshipin hours of darkness and of
sorrow is one of the desires of love,
and is strongest in the hearts in
which lure is the, richest.'.'
38. My soul is exceeding sorrow-
ful, even unto death. Various words
used to describe his agony are full of
suggestion. He was begirdled with
sorrow, besieged with sorrow. He
was alone. The whole agony came
upon him as a surprise. In barbaric
ages men have been put into diaboli-
cal machines that pressed them .to
death. But here was a case where the
pressure on the mind and spirit was
"even unto death." Tarry ye here,
and watch with Inc. These three men
are requested to be an inner guard,
so that if the eight outer
ones were overcome by fatigue
there would till be some guards to
notify their Maater when the trai-
tor and his cruel band arrived. Luke
belle US that in his agony his Sweat
hecarcia' aa it were great drote of
blood; tha writer of Hebrews tells as
of his strong crying and tears. This
wa,a not shrinking.from death, whose
dark shadows had lain across _every
day of his life; it was shrinking from
the untold horrors of the aggregate
sin of humanity. All the, mysteries of
the atonenieni are kept away from
as, but we have here some glimpses
of Lie effects. Dr. Schauffler main-
tains with several other Christian
scholars, that the great sorrow of
Josue in the garden came not from
fear of CalvarY at all, but from
fear of failure through physical
strength to reach Calvary and go loss
of all f Or which he left heaven. Sci-
ence cannot catalogue and define the
causes of big suffering, for the pro-
phet tells us that he' was wounded
for our tranagre.ssions, aiacl bruised for
our iniquities; the .Lord had laid on
him the iniquity of us a,11.
39. He went a little further. Deeper
and deeper into the silent gloorti of
the orehard. Fell on his face. Mark
says, "Fell on the ground ;" Luke says,
"Kneele cldown." He pep ba bly kneeled
first and then fell forwarl, for the
prayer he prayed exhausted every
longing 'of the spirit and every
strength of his body. 0 my Fathdr.-
jesus practices t.be faith' he taught
his followers. Ile, more • than: any
other sacred teacher, ,insiSted on the
fatherhood of God. He who cares for
the sparrow, who nurtures the lilies, ,
who 'numbers the hairs of our head,.
whose heart and love and power and

with a unique meaning in the word

Master was fighting a tremendous
battle and the full victory had not

spiritually in even greater danger, but
they apprehended neither, and e,ould

gular tenderness, and at the same

and physical natures are eager to do

the enemy has been foiled; you need
watch no longer—not a word of re-
proach 'for their failure to help when
help was needed. Suddenly, as if
awakening to a sense of other and
fresh dangers, he adds, Behold, the
hour is at hand, and the Son of man
is betrayed into the, hands of sinners.
Rise, let us be going; behold, he is at
hand that doth betray me.
