today to n vast congregation on "Tho City

Wo aro nil rcndy to listen to tho voices of
naturo tho volcos of tho mountain, tho
Tolces of tho on, tho voices of tho storm, tho
yolces of tho star. As In somo of tho cntfio
drals !u Europo thoro is nn organ at cither
end of tho building, and tho ono Instrument
responds musically to tho other, so In tho
great cathedral of naturo day rcsjiomls to
day, and night to night, and flower to (lower,
and star to star, in tho groat harmonies of tho
nnlvcrso. Tho spring tlmo is an ovangollst
In blossoms preaching of God's lovoj and tho
winter is n prophet whlto boarded denounc
ing woo against our sins. Wo nro all ready
to listen to tho voices of naturo! but how fow
of us learn anything from th volcos of tho
noisy and dusty street. You go to your mer
chandise, and your mechanism, and to your
work, and you cotno back again and often
with on Indifferent heart you pass through
tho streets. Aro thero no things for us to
learn from theso pavomcnU over which wo
passl Aro thero no tuftn of truth growing
up between thoso cobblestones, benten with
tho foot of toll, ntul pain, and pleasure, tho
low tread of old ago, and tho quick step of
childhood! Aye, thoro nro groat harvests to
bi reaped; and now I thrust in tho slcklo bo
causo tho harvest Is ripe, "Wisdom crloth
without; sho uttcroth her volco In tho streets,"
, liki: 1a full of lauoh.
In tho flrst place, tho street Impresses mo
with tho fact that this llfo h a seeno of toll
and struggle. By 10 o'clock every day tho
city Is Jarring with wheels, and shuffling
with feet, and humming with volcos, and
covered with tho breath of smokestacks and
fc-rush with traffickers. Onco Iti a whllo you
Qnd n man going along with folded arms and
with leisurely stop, ns though ho had nothing
to do; but for tho most part, as you And men
going down theso streets on tho way to busi
ness, thoro Is nuxloty in their faces, ns though
they had somo errand which must bo exe
cuted nt tho (lest possible moment. You nro
jostled by thoso who havo bargains to mako
and notes to kuII. Up this ladder with a hod
of bricks, out of this bank with a roll of bills,
on this dray with a load of goals, digging a
cellar, or shingling n roof, or shoeing n bono,
or building a wall, or mending n watch, or
binding n book. Industry, with her thousand
arms, and thousand oyos, nnd thousand feet,
goes on slnglug hor song of work I work!
world whllo tho mills drum It nnd tho steam
whistles llfo It. All this is not bocauso
men lovo toil. Somo ono remarked; "Every
man is as lazy as ho can afford to
bo." But it Is bocauso necessity, with
Horn brow and with uplifted whip,
itauds over them ready whenever thoy
relax their toil to muko tholr shoulder? sting
with tho lash. Cm jt bo that, passing up mid
down theso ktrcots on your way to work
and business, you do not loam anything of
tho world's toll, and anxiety, and strugglol
Obi how many drooping hearts, how many
eyes on tho watch, how many miles trnvelod,
how many bunions carried, how ntuuy losses
suffered, how many battles fought, how many
victories gained, how many defeats suffered,
how many oxasperatlons endured what
losses, what wretchedness, what pullor, what
disease, what agony, what despair! Some
times I havo stopped -at tho corner of tho
street as tho multitudes wont hither nnd yon,
and it has boomed to bo a groat pautomhno,
and ns I looked .upon it my .heart broke.
Tills great tldo of human' llfo thnt goo down
the street Is n rapid, tossed nnd turned nsldo,
and dashing nhoad, and driven back beauti
ful In Its confusion, and confused In Its leau
ty. In tho carpeted aisles of tho forest, In
tho woods from which tho eternal shadow Is
Dover lifted, on tho shoro of tho sea over
whoso iron coast tosses tho tangled
foam, sprinkling tho cracked cliffs with
a baptism of whirlwind and tempest,
Is tho best place to study God; but
In tho rushing, swarming, raving street U tho
best placo to btudy man. Doing down to
your placo of business and coming homo
again, I charge you look about boo theso
signs of poverty, of wrotohedness, of hunger,
of sin, of Iwrenvomcut and as you go through
the streets, nnd cotno back through tho streets,
gather up In tho arms of your prayer all tho
sorrow, nil tho losses, all tho buffering, all tho
bereavements of those whom you pass, and
present them In prayer boforo an all sympa
thetic God. Thou in tho groat day of eter
nity thero will bo thousands of iwrsons with
whom you In this world nover exchanged one
word who will rim up nnd call you blessed;
and thero will bo n thousand fingers Minted nt
you In heaven, saying: "That Is tho man,
that Is tho woman, who helped mo when I
was hungry, and sick, and wandering, and
lost, and heart brokon. That Is tho man, that
Is the woman," and tho blessing will como
down upon you ns Christ shall say: "I was
hungry and yo fed mo, I was tyikod and yo
clothed mo, I was sick and In prison and yo
vUtted me; inasmuch as yo did it to theso
poor waifs of tho street, yo did it to rao."
TIIE STREETS ARK HIKE TO ALU
Agalu, tho street Impressos mo with tho
fact that all classes and conditions of society
must commingle Wo sometimes culturo a
iricked cxcluslvcnoss. Intellect desplsos ig
norance Refinement will havo nothing to
do with boorlshnoss. Gloves hato tho sun
burned hand, nnd tho high forehead despises
the flat hend; and tho trim hedgerow will
have nothing to do with tho wild copsewood,
and Athens hates Nazareth, This ought not
to bo so. Tho astronomer must como down
from his starry rovelry and help us in our
navigation. Tho surgeon must como away
from his study of tho human organism and
let our broken bones. Tho chemist must
come away from his laboratory, where ho
bos been studying analysis and synthesis, and
help us to understand tho naturo of tho soils.
I bless God that all classes of pooplo aro com
piled to meet on tho street. Tho glitter
tug couch wheel clashes against tho scav
enger's cart. Fine robes run against
the peddler's pock. Robust health meets
wan sickness. Honesty confronts fraud.
Every class of people meets every other
class. Independence and modesty, prldo and
humility, purity and boastltnotn, frankness
and hypocrisy, mooting on tho snino block, in
the samo street, in the samo city. Oh I that
Is what Solomon meant whon ho said; "Tho
rich and tho poor meet together; tho Iord Is
tho maker of them all." I like this demo
cratic principle of tho Gospel of Jeans Christ,
which recogul.08 tho fact that wo stand bo
foro God on ono and tho samo platform. Do
not tnko on nny airs; whatever position you
have gained in socloty, you aro nothing but
n man, born of tho samo parent, regenerated
by tho samo Spirit, cleansed in tho samo
blood, to llo down In tho samo dust, to get up
la tho samo resurrection. It Is high time that
wo all acknowledged not only tho Father
hood of God, but tho brotherhood of man.
It A lit) TO KKKP TDK ItKAIlT 111(1 IIT.
Again, tho street Impresses mo with tho
fact that It Is n very hard thing for n man to
keep his heart right and to got to heaven.
Infinite temptations spring iiikui us from
theso places of public concourno. Amid so
much ntlluenco, how much temptation to
covetousnoKs nnd to bo discontented with our
humblo lot. Amid so many opportunities
for overreaching, what temptation to ex
tortion. Amid so much display, what temp
tation to vnnlty. Amid so tunny saloons of
strong drink, what nlluromont to dissipation,
(n tho maelstroms of tho street, how many
nmkou,uick and eternal shipwreck. If n man-of-war
comes Imck from n hnUlonud Is towed
Into tho navy yard, wo go down to look nt
tho splintered spars and count tho bullet
holes, nnd look with patriotic admiration on
tho flag that floated In victory from tho mast
head. Hut thnt man" Is moroot n curiosity n ho
has gono through thirty years of tho shnr
shooting of business llfo, nnd yet sails on,
victor ovor tho temptations of the street.
Oh I how many havo gono down under tho
pressure, leaving not so much ns tho wtch of
canvas to tell where thoy perished. Thoy
nover had any jenco. Their dishonesties kept
tolling In their ears. If I had an ax, and
could split open tho tentns of that flno house,
pcrhaM I would And in tho very heart of It
n skeleton. In his very lwst wlno thero Is n
smack of tho poor man's sweat. Oh I Is It
strange that when n man has devoured wid
ows' houses ho Is disturbed with Indigestion
All tho forces of naturo nro ngnlnst him.
Tho floods nro ready to drown him, and tho
enrthquako to swnllow him, nnd tho fires to
consumo him, and tho lightnings to sin I to
him. Hut the children of God nro on ovcry
street, nnd In tho day when tho crowns of
heaven nro distributed boiiio of tho brightest
of them will lw given to thoso men who were
faithful to God nnd faithful to tho souls of
others nmld tho marts of business, proving
thomsclves tho heroes of tho street. Mighty
wore their temptations, mighty wns their de
liverance, nnd mighty shnll lw their triumph.
THE HIIAMH OP LIFE.
Again, tho street Impresses mo with tho
fact that llfo Is full of pretension nnd sham.
What subterfugo, what double dealing, what
two faccdncss. Do nil ooplo who wish you
good morning really Iiok for you n happy
day! Do all tho pooplo who shako hands lovo
each other! Aro all thoso anxious nbout your
health who Inquire concerning It? Do nil
want to seo you who nsk you to cnlll Does
nil tho world know hnlf ns much ns It pro
tends to know! Is thero not many a wretched
stock of goods with u brilliant show window!
Passing up nnd down thoso streets to your
business nnd your work, nro you not Im
pressed with tho fact that much of socloty is
hollow, and thnt there nro subterfuges nnd
pretensions) Oh I how many thero aro who
swagger nnd strut, and how fow jiooplo who
aro natural and walk. Whllo fops simper,
and fools chuckle, nnd simpletons glgglo, how
fow people nro natural and laugh. Tho
courtesan nnd tho libertine go down tho
street In bonuti'ul apparel, whllo within tho
heart thero nro volcanoes of passion consum
ing their llfo nway. I say theso things not to
create In you Incredulity or misanthropy,
nor do I forget there nro thousands of poople
n great deal liettcr than thoy scorn; but I do
not think nny tiinu Is prewired for tho con
flicts or this life until ho knows this particu
lar peril. Ehud comes pretending to pity his
tax to King Eglon, and whllo ho stands in
front of tho king, stabs hhn through with a
dnggor until tho haft went In after tho blade.
Judas Ibcuriot kissed Christ.
A FIELD FOIl CIIAniTV.
Again, tho street Impresses mo with tho
fact that It Is a great field for Christian char
ity. There nro hunger nnd suffering, and
want and wreteheilncss, In tho country; but
thoso evils chiefly congregate In our great
cities. On every Rtreot crlmo prowls, nnd
drunkenness staggers, and shamo winks, nnd
pauperism thrusts out Its baud asking for
alms. Hero want Is most squalid nnd hunger
Is most lean. A Christian man, going nlong
n street In New York, s w a poor lad, and ho
stopied nnd sald "M boy, do you know
how to read nnd write!" Tho boy made no
answer, Tho man nskod tho question twico
and thrlco: "Can you rend nnd write!" nnd
then tho boy answered, with a tear plashing
on tho back of his hand. Hosnld In defiance:
"Xo, sir; I cnu't rend nor write, neither.
God, sir, don't wnnt mo to rend and writo.
Didn't ho tako nwny my father so long ago 1
nover rcinciiilicr to havo mxiii him land haven't
I had to go along tho streets to got some
thing to fetch homo to oat for tho folks, and
didn't I, ns soon ns I could carry n basket,
havo to go out and pick up cinders, and
nover havo no schooling, sir! God don't
want mo to read, sir; I ain't rend, nor write
neither.'' Oh, these oor wanderers! They
havo no chance. Horn In degradation, ns
thoy get up from their bunds and knees to
walk, they tako their first step on tho rood
to despair. I.'t in go forth In tho unmo of
tho Lord Jesus Christ to rascuo them. If
you nro not willing to go forth yourself,
then gtvo of your means; and if you aro too
lazy to go, and if you an too stingy to holp,
then got out of tho way, and hldo yourself hi
tho dens and caves of tho earth, lest, when
Christ's chariot comes along, .tho horses'
hoofs trample you in tho mlro. Be
ware lest tho thousands of tho desti
tute of your city, in tho lost great day,
riso up and curse your stupidity and your
negloct. One cold winter's day, as a Chris
tian man was going along tho Dattcry In
Now York, ho saw a Utile girl seated at the
gate shivering in tho cojij. Ho said to her:
"My child, what do you sit thoro for this cold
day!" "Oh," sho replied, "I am waiting I
am waiting for somebody to como and tako
care of mo." "Why I" wild tho man; "what
makes you think anybody will como and tako
care of your "Oh," she said, "my mother
died lost week nnd I was, crylug very much,
and sho said: 'Don't cry, my dear; though I
am gono and your fathor Is gone, tho Lord
will send somebody to tako care of you.1 My
mother nover told n llo; sho said somo on
would como and tako caro of me, and I am
waiting for them to come." 0, yes, thoy aro
waiting for you. Men of great hearts, gather
them In, gather them In, It is not tho will
of your Heavenly Father that ono of thoso
llttlo ones should perish.
EVEU J" WARD I
Lastly, tho street impresses mo with tho
fact that all the pooplo aro looking forward.
I seo expectancy written on almost overy faco
I meet ttotwocu horo and Drooklyu Dridgo,or
walking tho wholo length of Broadway.
Where you And n thousand pooplo walking
straight on, you only find ono man stopping
and looking back. Tho fnct Is, God mado us
all to look ahead, lecauso wo aro immortal.
In this tramp of tho multitude on our streets
I hear tho tramp of n great host marching
and marching for eternity. Beyond tho office,
tho store, tho shop, tho street, there Is a world,
populous nnd tremendous. Through God's
graco may ou reach that Mossed placo. A
great throng Alls thoso boulevards, and tho
streets nro n-rush with tho chariot of con
querors. The inhabitants go up and down,
but thoy never weep and thoy never toll. A
rlvor flows through thnt city, with rounded
and luxurious banks, and trees of ltfo ladon
with everlasting frultugit Ixjud their brunches
to dip tho crystnl. No plumed henrso rattles
over that pavement, for they are nover sick.
With Immortal health glowing In overy vein
they kt.ow not how to dlo. Thoso towers of
strength, tlioso palaces of bcautv. cleam In
the light of a sun that nvr sets. Oh, h-ATa,
beautiful heaven I Hen von whoro our friends
are. They tako no census In that city, for It
Is Inhabited by "a multltudo which no man
can number. ' HnnW nbovo rnnk, Hostnbovo
host, Onllery nliovo gnlltry, sweeping nil
around tho heavens. Thousands of thousands.
Millions of millions. Blessed nro thoy who
enter lu through tho gato Into that city, Oh I
sjnrt for It today. Through tho blood of tho
great Mcrllleo of tho 8on of God, tako up
your march to heaven. "Tho Spirit nnd tho
Ilrldo say come, and whosoever will, let him
como nnd tnko of tho water of llfo freely "
Join this great throng nmrchltig heaven

811k Without Worms.
M. do Cnrlionnot, a French savnnt, has dis
covered how to mako silk without wonrn.
Ho logan his experiments somo tlmo ngo,
with tho guiding Idea thnt tho jweullar np
jienrnueo of silk wns tho result of tho spin
ning of n liquid. After many months of ro
oated nnd unsuccessful trlnls, ho produced
wvernl yards of silk In this wlsot Ho poured

which emptied Into n system of small glass

which carried off tho solution In lino, thread

tubes, filled with wnter, tho flno stream lw
ramo fluo threads, which, toforo leaving tho
wnter, were caught mechanically nnd wound
around tiny rollers. After bolug heated and
cooled In nn ncld of sHclul gravity and tutu
lornture, tho threads wero made less com
bustible than cotton by being saturated In n
simple chemical preparation,
Tho quality of tho silk goods manufactured
from theso threads Is lino, Tho threads nro
cylindrical nnd nro from ono to forty micro
millimetres lu diameter. Thoy stistnln n
weight of iiVJl'i kilogram -wr square milli

kilograms pjr square millimetre; cooked silk,
15-20. Do CnrlKUiuet's silk Is much more bril
liant than ordinary silk, and absorbs nnd holds
coloring mutter more satisfactorily. As yet,
only n fow pieces havo been produced by tho
new process. Several of them nro show u In
tho l'arls cXDOsltlon. Da Ciirlmmiet l rnnfl-
,dent, however, that further experiments will
enable him to manufacture silk cheaply nnd
In largo quantities. In fact, ho think that n

their work much better thun thoy can do It

At Westminster xlloo court on Saturday
two boys of 13, named Frost and Oakes, Hv

charged with togging at Vauxhall bridge.
Tho boys nllogo thnt n woman living in Wood

Mint Have Tower.
John null, having learned that a 1,000 foot
tower on tho shores of tho Selno pays 20 per
cent, on tho Investment, sees no good reason
why n 1,500 foot tower on tho banks of tho
Thames may not decluro 25 per cent, divi
dends. So ho has arranged to put up a Cloud
piercing structure that, compared with tho
Eiffel tower, shall to as n Auto to a piccolo.

for tho World's fair of 181U, tall enough to
