UNFAILING PRIENDS.
A SERMON FULL OF THE BREATH
OF THE FIELDS.
Showing tiow the Attachment of Boat for.
Bath Was Full of Undying Interest to
the Church of God In Au Ages.-Darkuess
and Dayiight.
Washiligton, April 26. -This sermon of
Dr. Talmage could not'have been prepared
by anyone not born in the country. It is
full of the breath of the fields. The text is
Ruth 11, ; "And shefteent and came and
gleaned in the field a r the reapers and
her hap eves to light on a part Of the
field belonging unto Boat, who was of
the kindred of Elimeleoh."
The time that Ruth and-Ns,oeni arrive
at Bethlehem Is harvest time. It was the
custom when a sheaf fell from a load in
the harvest field -for the reapers to refuse
to gather it up. That . was to be left for
the poor who might happen th come
along that way. If there were handfuls
of grain scattered across the field after
the main harvest had been reaped, in-
stead of raking it, as farmers do now, it.
was by the custom of the land left in
its place, set that the poor coming along
that way reight glean it and gee their
bread. But you say: "What is the use of
all these harvest fields to Ruth ahd
Naomi? Naomi is too old and feeble to go
out and toil in the san, and can you ex-
pect that Ruth, the young and the beau-
tiful, should tan her -cheeks and blister
her hands in the harvekt field?"
Boattewns a large farm, and he goes
out to see the reapers gather in the
grain. Coming there 'right behind. the
swarthy, sun-hrowned reapers, he be-
holds- a beautiful woman gleaning -a
woman naive' fit to bend to a harp or sit
upon a throne than to stoop among the
sheaves. Ah, that was an eventful day!
It was love' at first sight. Boaz forms
jnan attachment for the womanly gleaner
-an attachment full of undying interest ,
to the church of God in all ages, while
Ruth, with an ephah, er nearly a bushel
of barley, goes home to Naomi to tell ber
the successes and adventures of the day.
That Ituth.who left her native land of
Moab in darkness and traveled, through
an undying affection for her mother-in-
law is in the harvest field of Boaz, is

Judah and becomes in aftertime the an-
cestaass of Jesus Christ, the Lord of
glory. Out of so dark a night did there

learn, in the first place, from this
subject how trouble develops character.
It was b.ereaventent, poverty and exile
that developed, illustrated and atmounced
to all ages the sublimity of Ruth's char-
acter. That is a very unfortunate man
"who has no trouble. It was sorrow that

and Dr. Young the better poet, and
O'Connell the better orator, and, Bishop
Hall the better preacher, and Havelock

I once asked an aged man in regard to
his pastor, who. was a very brilliant
man, "Why is it that your pastor, so
very brilliant, seems to have so little
heert and tenderness in his sermons?"
"Well," he replied. "the reason is our
pastor has never'had any trouble. When
misforttme comes upon hlin, his style
will be different" After awhile the Lord
took a child out of that pastor's house,
and, though the preacher was just as
brilliant as he was before, oh, the
warnith, the thnderness of his discourse!

And the stars heard, and the sea,
And the sounding aisles of the dim wood

It took all our past national distresses,
and it takes all our present national sor-

career where it will march long after the

The Beauty of Friendship.
Again, I see in my text the beauty of
unfaltering friendship. I suppose there
were plenty of friends for Na,omi while
she was in prosperiiiy, but of all her
acquaintaeces how many were willing to
trudge off with her toward. Judah when
she had to make that lonely journey?
One, the heroine of my text. One, abso-
Intely one. I suppose when. Naomi's hus-
band was living, and they 'had plenty of
money, and all things went well, they
had a great many callers, but I suppose
that after her husband died, and her
property went, and she got old and poor,
she was not troubled very much with
callers. All the birds that sung in the
bower while the. sun ehone have gone to

From Darknelis to Light.
Again, I learn from I this subject that
paths which open in hardship and daek-
ness often come out 1 -in places. of. joy.
When Ruth 'started f+n Moab toward
Jerusalem, to go along with her mother-
in-law, I suppose the people said: "ph,
What a foolish creature th go away frem
her father's house, to ge off with a poor.
old woman toward the land of Judah!
They won't live to get across the desert.
They will be drowned in the sea or the
jackals of the wilderness, will destrey
them" It was a vety dark morniag
--when Ruth, started. off With Naomi, but
behold her in my text in the harvest fi Id
of Boaz, to be affia,nced to one of he
lords of the land and be orae one of e
grandmothers of Jesus !mist, the Lord
of glory. And so it ofte is net a -path
Which often starts very darkly ends very
When yen started out for heaven, oh,
how -dark was the hour of conviction!
How Sinai thunderede- and devils tor-
mented, and darkness thipkened! All the
sins of your life pounced ( upon you, and.
it was the darkest hour you ever saw
wleen you first forted tent your sins.
After awhile you. went into the harvest
field of God's mercy. 'You began to glean
in the fields of divine •prtenise, and you.
had more sheaves than yeti could carry,
as the voice of God addressed you, say-
ing, "Blessed is the man whose trans-
gression are forgiven and whese sins are
covered." A very dark startling in con-
viction, a very bright ending ih the par-
don end the hope and the triumph of
the gospel.
So very often in our worldly business
or in our spiritual career we start off on
a very dark path. We must got The flesh

And we have to tranverse the desert, aed

We have eo ford the rivere we have to
climb the inountain, we have to storm
the castle; but, blessed - be God, the day
of rest and reward' will come. On the
tiptop -of the captured battlements we
will shout the victory, if - not in this
world, then in that world where. there is
no gall th drink, no burdene to carry, no :

Snow.it! I know it because God -says so,
"They shalt hunger no more, neither
thirst any more, neither shall the sun
light on them, nor any heat, for the
Lamb which is in the midst of the theone
shall lead them to living fountains of
_water, and God shall wipe all tears from
their eyes."
It was very hard for Noah to endnre
the scoffing of the people in his day,
while he was trying to 'mild the ark,
and was esiery morning quizzed . about
his old boat that would never be of any
practical use. But'when the deluge eame
and the tops of the mountains disap-
peared like the backs of sea monsters,
and the elements-, lashed, up in fury, -
clapped their hands over a drowned
world, then Noah in the arh - rejoiced in
his own safety and in the safety of his
family, And looked out on -the wreck of
a ruined earth. .
Christ, -hounded: of persecutors, denied

thieVes on either side of the cross, human
hate smaeking its - lips in satisfaction
after it had been draining his last. drop
of blood, the sheeted dead bursting from
the sepulchres at his crucifixion. Tell
me, 0 Gethsemane and Golgotha, were
there ever darker times thee those? Like
the booming of the midnight sea against,
the rock. the surges of Christ's anguish
beat- against the gates of eternity, to be
echoed back by all the thrones of heaven
and. all the dungeons of hell. But • the
day of reward comes for' Chirst. All the
pomp and dominion of this world are to
be- hung on his throne, crowned heads
are to bow before him on whose' head are
many crowns, and all the celestial wor-
ship Is to come un at his feet, like the
humming of the forest, like the rushing
of the waters, like the thundering of the
seas, while all heaven, rising on their
thrones, beat time with -their scepters,

very bad man by the name of Richard
Baxter.- He picked up the tract end read
it, and 15 was the means of his salvation.
In after days that man wrote a book
called "The Call to the Unconverted,"
that was the means of bringing a mul-
titude to God, among others Philip Dodd -t
ridge. Philip,Doddridge- wrote a book
called "The Rise and Progress of Re-

and tens of thousands into the kingdone
of God. and among others the • great

tudes, And that tide of influence started
from the fact that one Christyan woinan
dropped a Christian tract in the way' of
Richard Baxter, the tide of influence roll-
ing en through Richard Baxter, through
Philip Doddridge, through the great
Wilberforde, through Legh Richmond,
on, on, on, forever, forever. So the In-
significant events of this world seem,
after all, to be most momenthus.
Beauty of Female Industry.
Again, I see in nay subject an illustra-
tion of the beauty of female industry.
. Behold Ruth toiling in the harvest
field under the hot sun, or at noon tak-
ing -plain bread -with the reapers or eat-
ing the parched corn which Boaz handed
ta hen The customs of society, of course,
have changed, and without the hiirdships
and eeposure to which Ruth was sub-
jected every intelligent woman will find
something to do.
I know there is a sickly sentimentality
on this subject. In some families there
are persons of no. real service. to the
houtehold or community. and though
there are so many :woes all arcnind about
them in the world, they spend their time
languishing over a new pattern, hr burst-
ing into tears at midnight over the story
of some lover who shot hinaself. They
would not deign to look at Ruth catry-
ing back the barley on her way home to
her mether-in-law, Naomi. All this fas-
tidiousness may seem to do very well
while they are under the shelter of their
father's house; but when the sharp win-
ter of misfortune comes, what of these
butterflies? Persons under indulgent par-
entage may get upon themselves habits
of indolence, but when they come out
into practical life their soul will recoil
with disgust and chagrin. They will feel
in their hearts what the poet so severely
satirized when he said: -
Folks are -so awkward, things so impolite,
They're elegantly pained from morning
until night. ,
Through that gate. Of indolence how
many men and women have marched,
useless on earth, to a destroyed etcenity.
Spinola said .. to Sir Horace _Vete, "Of
what did your brother die?" ."01 having
nothing to do," wag the answer. "Ah!"
said-Spinola, "that's enough to kill any
general of us." Oh, can it be' possible in
this world; where there is so much mffer-
ing to be alleviated, so much darkness to
be enlightened and so maey burdens to
.be carried, that there is any pesron who
cannot find anything th do?
Mane. de Steel did a world of work in
her time, and one day, while she was .
seated amid instruments of music, all of
which she had -mastered. and amid man-
uscript books which she had written,
some one said to her, "How do you find
tizne to attend to- all these thingsr:'

Ruth going into _ that harvest 'field
might have said: "There is a straw, and
there is a straw, but what is a straw? I
can't get any barley for myself or my
mother-in-law out of 'these separate
straws." Not so said beautiful Ruth.
She gathered two straws, , and she put
them together, end more . straws, until
ehe got enough to -make a sheaf. Putting
that down, she went and gathered more
straws until she had another sheaf, and
another and another, end another, and
then she brought them altogether, and
she thrashed them out, and she had an
ephah of barley, nigh a bushel. Oh, that
eve might all be gleaners!

intendant the metropolis would npt have
been the clean oity it is to -day. It is by
the method of direct labor, under model
conditions; of employinent, that this first
worthy' result of the kind in a large
American oity has been achieved.
' Toronto, the other of these two exem-
plary cities, has gone even further than
New York in eliminating the contractor.
In this enterprising Canadian town, with
its 190,000 people, Street Commissioner
Jones has during the last- seven years
entirely revolutionized the care of the
etreets of- the city. He has not only
organized the execution of this work
under a distinct department, but out of
the margin thus saved from the annual
appropriations for oaring for the streets
he has actually built and equipped
modest but complete set of vemikshops,
where the entire c,onstruction and repair
work of the department is exeouted.
Not only are the sprinklers rotary
sweepers, sue:matte loading caitts and
mow scrapers, each after a special pat-
terns devised by the commissioner or
under his direction, built in these shops,
but even the harnesses are made there,
the horses are shod there, and it is the
truthful boast of the c,ommissioner that
every article of manufacture used by the
department is produced fkom the rave
material in these shops. It is exceedingly
refreshing to find there inventive genius
constantly brought th bear to produce
appliances not for sale in the general
market, and hence of that crude adjust-
ment which ,can be used anywhere, but -
appliances precisely adapted to the par-
ticular needs of Toronto, with its own
climate, soil, street mileage and pave-
ments. -Review of Reviews.
Magnetic Sentinel.
Lieutenant F. B. Badt haspatented
elect,ro magnetic sentinel, which is
signed to give warning at a distant p
of the approach of a hostile warship to
subma;rine mine, or to explode . the mi
-a.utomaticelly, says the Pittsburg D
patch. Such a device was badly neede
The usual method employed for coa
protection by means of 'explosive min
has been to sink them in the waterwa
to be protected, ordinarily in a narro
channel,' and form twhebservatoriee
shore, connected by telephone and te
graph, the officers on duty following,
inea,ns of range ,finders, the movemen
of any hostile vessel. When the hasten
ments indicate that the vessel is direct
threwn which sets free an. electric c
rent and explodes the mine. This nt
up two observatories, 'hie seta of instr
ments and two or more operators. Mor
over, the apparatus cannot always be re
lied upon. It may get out of order ju
at the moment it Is needed. It am folio
the movements of only, one vessel at
time, and at night, in fogs or storms,
is of little or no use.
• Lieutenant Badt's device is automatic
in its action and gives warning by night
as well as by day. It is simple and direct
in its operations, and requires b,ut one
obeervatorys one set of instruments and
one attendant. When arrangements are
made to explode the mine automatically,
the attendant ran be dispense with. An
induction coil, suitably connected, is
secured to the mine or torpedo, the fuse
of which is' fired by a powerful electric
cureent-switched on either automatic-
ally or at the observatory. When the
modern war vessel, heavily. protected by
iron or steel .armar, approaches the in-
duction coil, there will be a magnetic
disturbance,. which is instantly indicated
to the officer on duty at the observatory,
He watches the vessel, end et the proper
moment closes the fuse circuit and ex
plodes the mine. Iri case an automatic
device is employed, the arm of an indi-
cator is deflected until- coated is made,
which causee the explosion. j
A Peculior ease of the Faces Edict.

Sciarra and the. Italian governMent in
regard to the masterpieces of art in.
gallery. Prince Sciarra wanted .to 'sell
some of his pictures, but under an Italian
law known as the Pacca edict, he could
not. dispose of them to any one living
outside of Italy. Some time ago, howeveni
he succeeded in smuggling certain can-'
vases out of the -country, among these
being Raphaers "Violiniet," which he
sold to Baron Alphonse de Rothschild
for 750, 000 francs; Titian's "Belle," sold
th the same for 600;000' francs; Leonardo
da Vinci's "Vanity" and "Modesty,"
also purchased by Baron Alphonse for.
600,000 francs; a Perugino sold to the
Louvre for 150,000 francs, and Caravag-
gio's "Gamblers," for which M. Satinet.
der paid 60,000 francs. Now the Italian •
government will permit Prince Marra to
dispose as he pleases Of all the works of
art in his possession excepttng the follow-
ing 15, which become the property -of the
government: Guido Reni's
" Virgin." "sp. Joseph" and "St. Peteri"
