Talmago, D. D., was welcomed homo today
by nn overflowing congregation. At tho
opening of tho servlco tho hymn beginning
Welcome, sweet day of rest.

"Tlio day 1 at hand." Homans xlll, 12. Ho
Midi
Back from tho mountains and tho scasldo,
and tho springs, mid tho farmhouse, your
cheek bronzed and your spirits lighted, I hail
you homo again with tho words of Uohazl to
tho Blumammitoi "Is It well with theol is It
well with thy husband 1 is it well with tho
child I" On somo fncos 1 soo tho mark of re
cent grief, but all along tho track of tears I
too tho story of resurrection and ruuuion
when all tears aro douo; tho deep plowing of
tho keel, followed by tho (lash of tho phos
phorescence. Now that I bavo asked you In regard to
your welfare, you naturally ask how I mn,
Very well, thauk you. Whether It was tho
bracing air of tho Colorado mountains, 12,000
feet abovo tho lovel of tho sea, or tho toulo
atmospliero of tho Paclflo coast, or a bath in
tho surf of Long Island beach, or whether it
is tho joy of standing in this great group of
warm hearted friends, or whether It is a now
appreciation of the goodness of God, I can
not tell. 1 simply know 1 am grandly and
gloriously and inexpressibly happy. It was
laid that John Motratt, tho groat Methodist
preacher, occasionally got fust In his sermon,
and to extrlcnto himself would cry "llallo
lujahl" 1 am in no such predicament today,
but I am full of the samo rhapsodic ejacula
tion. Starting out this morning on a now
ecclesiastical year, I want to glvo you tho
koynoto of my next twclvo mouths' ministry,
I want to set it to tho tuuo of Ant loch, Ariel
and Coronation. Soino tlmo ago wo had a
new stop put in this great organ a now
trumpet stop and I want to put a now
trumpet stop into my sermons.
WE NEED THE ELEMENT OF Ot.AIJfEB3.
In all our Christian work you and I waut
more of tho clement of gladness. Tlmt man
had no right to say that Christ nover
laughed. Do you supposo that ho was glum
at tho wedding in Can a of Galileo) Do you
supposo Christ was unrespouslvo when tho
children clambered over his kneo and shoul
der at his own invitation) Do you supposo
that tho evangelist meant nothing when ho
said of Christ: "Ho rojotccd in spirit" Do
you bclievo that tho divino Christ, who pours
all tho water over tho rocks at Vernal falls,
Yoscmlto, does not bollovo in tho sparklo and
gallop anil tumultuous joy and nulling rap
tures of human life? I bollovo not only that
tbo morning laughs, and that tho mountains
laugh, and that tho boos laugh, and that tho
cascades laugh, but that Christ laughed.
Moreover, tako a laugh and a tear Into an
alembic, and assay them, and test thorn, and
analyzo thorn, and you will often find as
much of the pure gold of religion in a laugh
as in a tear. Deep spiritual joy always shows
Itself in facial illumination. John Wesley
said ho was sure of a good religious Impres
sion being produced lecauso of whut ho calls
tho great laughter ho saw among tho pcoplo.
Godless merriment is blasphemy any whero,
but expression of Christian joy is appropri
ate everywhere.
Moreover, the outlook of tho world ought
to stir us to gladness. Astronomers recently
bavo disturbed many pooplo by telling them
that tiicro is danger of stellar collision. We
bavo been told through tho papers by theso
astronomers that thero aro worlds coining
very near together, and that wo shall have
plagues nnd wars and tumults and perhaps
tbo world's destruction. Do not bo scarod.
If you have over stood at a railroad center,
whero ten or twenty or thirty rail trucks
cross each other, and soon that by tho move
ment of tho switch ono or two Inchestho
trains shoot this way and that, without any
colliding, then you can understand how fifty
worlds may como within an inch of disaster,
and that inch bo as good as a million miles.
If a human switch tender can shoot tho trains
this way and that without harm, cannot tho
Band that for thousands of years has upheld
tbo unlverso keep our llttlo world out of
barm's way Christian geologists toll us that
this world was millions of years In building.
Well, now, I do not think God would tako
millions of years to build a houo which was
to last only six thousand years. Thoro is
nothing In tho world or outside the world,
terrestrial or astronomical, to excite dismay.
1 wish that eomo stout Gospel breeze might
scatter all tho malaria of human foreboding.
The sun roso this morning at about half past
B, and I think that is just about tho hour In
the world's history. "The day is at hand."
TllE WAR. PERIOD IS PAB3INO AWAY.
The first ray of tbo dawn I boo in tho grad
ual substitution of diplotnatlo skill for hu
man bu(cbery. Witnln tho last twenty-five
years thero have been International differ
ences which would have brought a shock of
arms In any other day, but which were peace
fully adjusted, the pen taking tbo placo of
tbo sword.
That Alabama question in any other age of
the world would havo caused war between
tbo United States and England. How was
it settled I Dy mon-of-war oft tho Narrows,
or off tho Mersey Dy tbo Gulf Stream of
the ocean crossed by a gulf stream of human
blood By the pathway of nations incar
nadined No. A few wise men go into a
quiet room at Geneva, talk the matter over,
and telegraph to Washington and to London:
"All settled.'' Peace, Poaco, England pays
to tbo United States tbo amount awarded
pays really more than she ought to have
paid. Out still, all that Alabama broil i
settled settled forever. Arbitration instead
of battle.
So, tho quarrel eight or nine years ago
about the Canadian ilshorics in any other ago
would have caused war between tho United
States and England. Eugland saidt "Pay
mo for tbo invasion of my Canadian fish
eries.'' The United States saidt "1 wilt not
pay anything." Well, tho two nations myi
"I guess we had better leavo the wuolo mat
ter to a commission." Tho commission is ap
pointed, and tbo commission examines the
affair, and the commission reports, and pay
we ought, y wo must, pay w.o do. Not a
pound of powder burned, not a cartridge bit
ten off, no ono hurt to much as by tho
scratch of a pin. Arbitration instead of
battle.
So tbo Samoan controvery in any other
ago would bavo brought Germany and tbo
United States into bloody collision. Out all
Is settled. Arbitration Instead of battlo.
Franco will nover again, I think, through
peccadillo of ambassador, bring on a battlo
with other nations. She sees that God, In
punlshmeut of Sedan, blotted out tho French
empire, and theouly aspirant for that throno
who had any right of exjicctatlou dies In a
war that lias not tho dignity of even being
resectable. What ts that blush on the cheek
of England today) What is tho leaf that
Eugland would like to tear out of her Ids
toryl The Zulu war. Down with tho sword
and up with tho treaty.
Wo in tills country might better havo
settled our sectional difficulties by arbitra
tion than' by tho thrust of tho sword. Phi
lanthropy said to tho north i "Pay down a
certain n mount of money for tho purchoso of
tho slaves, and let all thoso lorn after a cer
tain time bo born free." Philanthropy at
tho snmotlmo said to tho south! "You cell
tho slaves and get rid of this great national
contest nnd trouble. " Tho north replied! "I
won't pay a cent." Tho south replied! "I
won't sell." War I War I A million dead
men, nnd a national debt which might havo
ground this nation to wdcr.
Why did wo not lot William II. Soward, of
Now York, and Aloxander II. Stephens, of
Georgia, go out and ientl a fow days under
tho trees on tho banks of Potoumo nnd talk
tho matter over, and settle It, assottlo it they
could, rather than tho north pay in cost of
war, four billion seven hundred million dol
lars, and tho south ay four billion sovon hun
dred and fifty million dollars, tho destroying
angel leaving tho first born dead lu so many
houses all tho way from tho Penobscot to tho
Alabama. Yo aged men, whoso sons fell In
tho strife, do you not think that would havo
Iwcn Iwtterl Oh yes I wo havo como to bo
liovo, 1 think, In this country, that arbitra
tion Is better than battle,
ClllllSTIA.NR AllE rEACEADU
I may bo mistaken, but I hopo that tho last
war between Christian nations Is ended.
OarlMtrlnns may mix their wnr paint, and
Afghan nnd Zulu hurl poisoned arrows, but
I think Christian nations havo gradually
learned that wnr is disaster to victor as well
as vanquished, ami that almost anything
bought by blood Is bought at too dear a price.
I wish to God that this nation might bo a
model of willingness for arbitration. No
need of killing another Indian. No need of
sacrificing any moro bravo Geu. Custers.
Stop exasperating tho red man, nnd thero
will bo no mora arrows shot out from tho
reservation. A general of tho United States
army, in high repute throughout this land,
and who, perlins, has been in moro Indian
wars than any other ofllcer, nnd who hiw
lccn wounded again and again in behalf of
our government in battlo against tho In
dians, told mo thnt all tbo wars that had over
occurred In this country lictween Indians
nnd white men had been provoked by white
men, and that there was no exception to tho
rule, Whilo wo aro arbitrating with Chris
tian nations, let us townrd barbarians carry
oursolvcs in a manner unprovocattvo of con
test. I Inherit a largo estate, and tho wntcrs aro
rich with fish, nnd tho woods nro songful
with birds, and my corn fields nro silken and
golden. Hero Is my sister's grnvo. Out
yonder, under that largo treo, my father
died. An Invader comes, nud projxwes to
drive mo off and tako poesslon of my prop
erty. Ho crowds mo back, and crowds mo
on, and crowds mo Into a closer corner nnd
still closer corner, until after a whllo I sny:
"Stand back 1 don't crowd mo any moro, or
I'll striko. What right bavo you to como
hero and drlvo mo off of my premises) I
got this farm from my father, and ho got it
from his father. What right havo you to
como hero and molest moP' You blandly
say: "Oh, I know moro thau you do. I bo
long to a higher civilization. I cut my hair
shorter than you do. I could put this ground
to a great deal better uso than you do." And
'you keep crowding mo bac.k and crowding
mo on into a closer corner and closer cor
ner, until one day I look around upon
my suffering family, and, fired by
their hardships, I how you in twain.
Forthwith all tho world comos to your
funeral to pronounce eulogium, comes
to my execution to anathematize mo. You
aro tho hero, I am tho culprit. Behold tbo
United States government and tho North
American Indian. Tho red man has stood
moro wrongs than I would, or you. Wo
would havo struck sooner, deeper. Tint
which is right in defenso of a Brooklyn homo
or a Now York homo is right in defenso of a
homo on top of tho Rocky mountains. Be
fore this dwindling red raco dies compleUsly
out, I wish that this generation might by com
mon justice utouo for tbo inhumanity of its
predecessors. In tho day of God's judgment,
I would rather lx a blood smeared Modoc
than a swindling United States ofllcer on nn
Indian reservation! Ono man was a bar
barian nnd a savage, and nover pretended to
le anything but a barbarian and a savage.
Tho other mail protended to bo a reprcsonta
tivo of a Christian nation. Notwithstanding
nil this, tho general disgust with war and tho
substitution of diplomatic skill tor tho glit
tering edge of keen steel Is a sign uumlstaka
bio that "tho day is at hand."
llAriD TRANSIT A JOYFUL FACT.
I find another ray of tho dawn In tho com
pression of the world's distances. What a
slow, Htiajl like, almost imposslblo thing would
have been tho world's rectification with four
teen hundred millions of population and no
facilo means of communication: but now,
through telegraphy for tho eyo and telo
phonlc Intimacy for tho ear, and through
steamboating and railroading, tho twenty
five thousand miles of tbo world's circumfer
ence aro shriveling up into Insignificant brev
ity. Hong Kong is nearer to Now York than
a fow years ago New Ha von was; Bombay,
Moscow, Madras, Melbourne within speaking
distance. Purchase n telegraphic chart, and
by tho btuo Hues see tbo telegraphs of the
land, and by tbo red lines the cables under
tho ocean. You see what opportunity this is
going to give for the final movements of
Christianity. A fortress may be months or
years in building, but after it is constructed it
may do all Its work iu twenty minutes.
Christianity has been planting its batteries for
nineteen centuries, and may go on in the
work through other centuries; but when
thoso batteries arethoroughly planted, thosj
fortresses are fully built, they may do all
tholr work In twenty-four hours. Tho world
sometimes derides tho church for slowness of
movement. Is science any quicker Did it
not take science five thousand six hundred
and fifty-two years to find out so simple a
thing as tho circulation of the human blood
With tho earth and tbo sky full of electricity,
science took flvo thousand eight hundred
years before it even guessed that there was
any practical uso that might txi mado of this
subtle and mighty element. Whan good men
take posHoe&Jon of all those scientific forces and
all these agencies of invention, I do not know
that the redemption of tho world will bo
more than the work of half a day. Do wo not
read tho queen's speech at the proroguing of
parliament tho day beforo in London) If
that 1mi so, Is it anything marvelous that In
twenty-four hours a divino communication
can reach the wholo earth) Suppose Christ
should descend on the nations many oxpoot
Uiat Christ will come among tho nations per
sonally suppono that to-morrow mornlngjthe
Son of God from a hovering cloud should de
scend upon these cities. Would not that fact
bo known all tho world over In twenty-four
hours) Supposo bo should present his Gospel
In a few wonls, saying; "I am tho Son of
God; I came to pardon all your sins aid to
heal all your sorrows; to prove tlmt I am a
ftix:rnatural leliig I havo just descended
from tho clouds; do yon bollovo me, and do
you bellove me now" Why, all tho telo
graph stations of tho earth would be crowded
a none of them were ever crowded just after
n shipwreck. I tell you these things to
show you It Is not among tho Impossibilities
or even tho improbabilities that Christ will
conquer tho whole eurth, and do it instanter,
when tbo time comes Thero aro foretoken
digs In tho air Something great Is going
toon to happen, 1 do not think thnt Jupiter
is going to run us down, or tint tho nxlo of
tho world U going to break; but 1 mean some
thing great for tho world's blotulng nud not
for tho world's dnuiago Is going talmp)cn, I
think tho world has hail it hard enough.
Enough, tho Ixiudon plagm. Enough, tho
Aslntlu choleras. Enough, tho wars. Ilnough,
tho shipwrecks. Enough, tho conflagration.
I.OOK OUT FOH A CKI.KI1IUTION,
1 think our world could stand right well a
proces'lon of prosperities and triumphs.
Better boon tbo lookout. Better havo your
observatories ojkmi toward tho heavens, and

Jars ready for somo now pulsation of mighty
Influence. Better havo new fonts of typo In

One moro ray of tho dawn I soo in fact
chronological and mathematical. Come,
now, do not lot us do another stroko of work
until wo have settled ouo matter. What is
going to bo the final Usuo of this great con
test between sin nnd rlghteouine'w Which
Is going to provo himself tho stronger, God
or Dlnbolusf Is this world going to bo nil
garden or all desert) Now let us hnvo that
matter settled. If wo bcllovo Isn ah and
Ezcklel and Hosca, and Micah and Malnchi,
and John nud Peter, and Paul nud Christ,
wo bellevo that it Is going to ins all garden.
But let us hnvo it settled. Ia us know
whether wo nro working on toward a success
or toward a dead failure. If thero is a child
In your house sick, and you nro sum ho is
going to got well, you sympathUo with pres
ent pains, but all tho forelxxllng Is gouo. If
you aro In a cyclono off tho Florida coast,
and tho captain assures you tho ressol is

n better quarter, and ho Is stiro ho
will bring you safo into tho harltor,
you patiently submit to present distress
with tlio thought of safo arrival. Now 1
wnut to know whether wo aro coming on
toward dismay, darkness nud defeat, or on
townrd light nnd blessedness. You nnd I bo
llovo tho lntter, and If so, overy year wo
spend Is ono year subtracted from the world's
woo, nud overy event tlmt passe., whether
bright or dark, brings us one event nearer a
happy consummation, and by nil thnt Is Inex
orable in chronology nud mutliemntles I com
mend you to good cheer nnd courage. If
thero is anything in arithmetic, if you sub
tract two from flvo and leavo three, then by
every rolling sun wo aro coming on toward a
magnificent terminus. Then overy winter
passed is ono aoverity less for our poor world.
Then every summer gono by brings us nearer
unfading arborescenca Put your nlgebra
down on tho top of your BIblo nnd rejoice
If it is nearer morning at 3 o'clock than it
is at 2, If it is nearer morning at 4 o'clock
than it is at 3, then we aro nearer tho dawn
of the world's deliverance. God's clock seems
to go very slowly, but tbo pendulum swings
and tho hands movo. and it will yet striko
noon. Tho sun and tho moon stood still once;
thoy will nover stand still again until they
stop forovcr. If you bollovo arithmetic as
well as your BIblo, you must believe we are
nearer tho dawn. "Tho day is at hand."
UYBTEHIOUB BIONR OF THE TIUE3. .
Thero is a class of phenomena which makes
mo think that tho spiritual and tho heavenly
world may after a whilo mako a demonstra
tion in this world which will bring all moral
and spiritual things to a climax. Now, I nm
no spiritualist; but every intelligent man lias
noticed that there aro strange and mysterious
things which iudicato to him that per)mi
tho spiritual world is not so far off as some
times wo conjecture, and that after a whllo,
from tho spiritual and heavenly world there
may bo a demonstration upon our world for
Its betterment. Wo call it magnetism, or we
call It mesmerism, or wo call It electricity,
tiecnuso we want somo term to cover up our
Ignorance, I do not know what it is. I nover
heard an audiblo voice from the other world.
I am persuaded of this, however: that tho
veil U'tween this world and tho noxt is got
ting thinner and thinner, and that perhnps
after a whllo, at tho call of God not at the
call of tho Davenport brothers, or Andrew
Jackson Davis some of tho old scriptural
warriors, some of tho spirits of other dayi
mighty for God a Joshua, or a Calob, or n
David, or a Paul may como down nnd holp
us in tho battlo against unrighteousness. Oh,
bow I would like to bavo them here him
of tlio Red Sea, him of tho valley of AJa

llobert Clayton, of the English cavalry, at
tho close of a war bought up all tho old cav
alry hones, lest they be turned out to drudg
ery and hard work, and bought a piece of
ground at Naverxtnlro Heath, and turned
these old war horses into tho thickest and
richest posture, to spend tho rest of their
days for what they bad done in other days.
Ono day a thunder storm camo up, and these
war horses mistook tho thunder of tho iklei
for tho thunder of battlo, and they wheeled
into lino no riders on their backs they
wheeled Into lino ready for tho fray. And I
doubt me whether, when the last thunder of
this battle for God and truth goes booming
through tho heavens, the old scriptural war
riors can keep their places on their thrones.
Methiuks they will spring Into tbo fight and
exchaugo crown for helmet, and palm branch
for weapon, aud como down out of the king's
fallorles Into tbo arena, crying: "Make room I
must fight in this great Armageddon."
My beloved people, I preach tills sermon
Ixvause I want you to toil with the sunlight

some way is effectual, aud that tho tido Is

A (!rur(llKrr I'nssrs n Hnd Night,
A few nights ago whllo n party of young
men nnd women were walking under tho
shado trees skirting tho I.nfuyutlo cemetery
they were startled by a number of wild cries
Issuing from tho center of that bur) lug
ground. The hour was nbout t, and although
thoro were twenty person niwut, none of
them at first could muster enough courago to
go In, Then some of them, guided by tho
sound, mado their way between tho grave
to a vault near tho center of the cemetery.
Tho vault top rle only a fow Inches abovo
tho ground, but thoro are a number of holes
piercing tho sides nud tho Investigators throw
themselves prono before this.
'For a tlmo thoy could see nothing. Then
ono of tho watchers discovered tho outlines
of a moving form, nnd another pleiclng cry
rent tho air Satisfied now tlmt tho thing
within was a ghost, tlio men sprang to their
feet and ran liko mad for tho streets. Tho
mystery was not explained until Ofllcer
Smith nsHed that way. Just a ho reached
tho vault lu question ho noticed tho white
face of n man w ho was lying on tho floor In
side, Hi promptly broke in tho door and
found James N. Clarke, ouo of tho grave
diggers, in u half unconscious condition,
leaning against tho side of tho vault. It was
somo minute before ho could talk. Then ha

"Icnino Into tho vault yesterday afternoon

of about twenty degrees, and then formed

feet when they found a flint ax. A llttlo fur
ther was a jool of fresh water and a current
of air was felt. Further on a chamber was
discovered covered with a brownish muck
that was sticky. A man who was In the lead
suddenly stopped and said: "There sits a
boy." Sure enough, thero sat a human form.
Tlio head was resting on tho knees and tho
arms were drawn around tho legs, Indian
fashion. A stono bowl nnd ax wore found
besldo tho figure. Tho body wus well pro

found in the chamber, but when disturbed
they crumbled. Ono Iwdy of a man was

Chancing tlio Color of Canaries.
Tho following Is from tho proceedings of
tho Berlin Physiological society: Starting
with tho observed fact that canaries fed with
cayenne wpper acquire a ruddy plumago,
Dr. Snuerinauii has based upon It a scientific
Investigation of canaries, fowls, pigeons and
other birds. From theso ho has obtained the
following results: Feeding with epper only
produces an effect when given to young birds
before they moult; tho color of tho feathers
of older birds cannot bo affected. Moisture
facilitates tho change of color to a ruddy hue,
which is again discharged under tho influence
of sunlight and cold A portion of tho con
stituents of cayenne K'pper is quite inactive,
as, for Instance, plperin nnd several extrac
tives; similarly tho red coloring mutter alono
of tbo jiepper has no effect on tho color of tho
feathers. It Is rather the triolein, which oc
cur in tho pep)K3r in largo quantities, to
gether with the characteristic pigment, which
brings about the change of color by holding
tho red pigment of tho epper In solution.
Glycerino may bo used Instead of triolein to
bring alraut tho samo result. Tho samo state
ment hold good with regard to tho feeding
of birds with auillno colors. The red pigment
of the pepjier U also stored iu tho egg yolk a
well as iu tho feather. Tho first apearanco
of tho pigment iu the yolk may bo observed
as a colored ring four day after tho com
mencement of feeding with tho pigment ills
solved lu fat. After a further two days'
feeding tho wholo yolk is colored. Dr. Bauer
