Tho sermon rlm-lnt fur this week Is entitled "Our Possessions," fiom I Corluthlniii III, -.', "All nre yours." Th Impression I abroad tlint religion put t iniiu on short allowance; that when (lie ship sailing henveiiu-aril comes to tho ahlulug tvlmif It will he found out that all the passengers had tho lmnlr.it kind of nca faro; that the soldiers In Christ's army march most of the time with an empty haversack. In n mm), that only those people haven good tlmu In this win Id who take upon themselves no religious obllgu tlou. I want today to llud out whether thl In o, and I mu going to take account of lock; I am going to hIiow what are tin; Christian's liabilities, and what In hi In come, and what are lilt warranted deed, And what are his bonds and morlgnucu, and I shall llnd out heforti I llulsh Jict how much liu It worth, and I idiall spread bo fore you tho balance sheet In tlmu to wain you all against thu religion of Jesus Christ If Indeed it ho n failure, and In tlmo for joil all to accept It If Indeed It hu a sno ws, 1 turn llrst to the a-nets, and I llml then what seems to he a roll of govern ment wcurltlcs thu empire of heaven promising all things to tho possessor. The threo Ninall words of my text am a war rrttiN'H deed tu thu whole universe when It ays. "All nro yours." In nmkliiK mii Inventory of the Chris tlan' possessions I remark, In thu llr.it filnce, that ho owns this world. My text mplli'N It, and tho preceding verso asserts it "whether l'anl or A polios or Cephas or thu world,'' Now It would hu an alt tun! thlu( tu suppose that Cod would glvo to strangern privileges and advantages which he would deny Ids own children. If you haw n largo park, a grand mansion, beautiful fouutalmi, stalking duer and tntuary, to whom will you glvo tho lint right to all tlieNo posscsslonsf To nutsld rf No, tn your own children. You w III My, "It will hu very well for outsider to come In and wnlk those paths and enjoy this landscape, hut tho II rut right to my bouse, and thu llrst right to my stntunry. the llrt right to my gardens shall hu In the possession of my own children." Now, this world It God's park, and while he allows those who are not IiIh chlldreu and who refine. IiIh authority thu privilege of walking through thu gardens, t ho posses. ton of all this grandeur of park and man atou la In tho right of tho Christian the flower, thu diamond, thu silver, thu gold, tho morning brightness nud the evening shadow. The Christian may not havu the title deed to one acre of laud a recorded In the clerk' olllce, hu limy never havu paid one dollar of tuxes, but liu can go up on a mountain ami look olf upon fifty miles of grain field and nay, "All thin Is mine; my lather gavo It mo." "All nro yours." OOP'S would is Kim ins CIIIUIIIKK. A lawyer Is sometimes required to scuach title, nnd tho client who thinks hu has a good right to an estate puts thu papers In bU hands, nnd the- lawyer goes Into thu S nolle records, nod finds everything right or three or four or live years hack; hut iter nwhllc ho comes to a break In thu title, to 11 deficit, to u diversion of thu prop erty; so he lltuU out that thu man who upoul he owned It owns not an aero of the ground, while somebody else has thu full r.jht to the entire estate. Now, I ex amine the tltlu to all earthly osm-hs1ous. 1 go back a little way, nnd 1 llnd that men Of the world Imd men, selfish men, wicked mo think they havu a right to nil these possessions; but I go farther back, and 1 trace the title from year to year, and from century to century, Until 1 find thu whole right vested In Uod Now, to whom did he give Itf To his own children! "All nre yours." The siniplo fact Is that In tho last days Of the world all the architecture, all thu dtle. all the mountains, all thu villages will Im In the possession of the church uf Christ. "The meek shall Inherit the earth." Ships of Tarshish shall bring reaents. "Tlieearth is thu Lord's and the rolluess thereof." "All aro yours." "Hut," you say, "what satisfaction Is there tu that when I haven't possession of themr" These things will come before thu Supremo Judgu of the Universe, nnd hu will regulate thu title, ami he will eject these squatters apon the property that does not belong to them, and it shall be found that "All are yours." 8o again, the relluuiucuts of life are thu Christian's right, Hu has a right to as good apparel, to as beautiful adornments, to as commodious a residence as the world ling. Show mu any passage In thu Bible that tells thu peoplu of the world thuy have privileges, they have glittering spheres, they havu bellttiug apparel that nre denied the Christian, There is no ouu who has so much a right to laugh, none sa much a right to everything that Is heatitl ful nnd graud and sublime in life as the Christian. "All nre yours." Can It bo possible that one who is reckless and sinful, and has no treasures laid up In heaven, Is to be allowed pleasures which the .tons and daughters of (Soil, the owners of thu whole universe, are denied? TIIK SWKKTNKS3 OK SACltK.D MUSIC. So I remark that all tho sweet sounds of the world are In the Christian's right. There are people who havu an idea thnt In struments of music are inappropriate for the Christian's parlor. When did the house of sin or the bacchanal get thu right to music r Tcy havu no right to it. God. tu my text, makes over to Christian peo ple all the pianos, all the harps, all the drums, all the cornets, all thu llutcs, all the organs. People of the world may bor , row them, but they ouly borrow them; they have no right or title to them, God gave them to Christian peoplu In my tuxt when he said, "All are yours." David no more certainly owned the harp with which he thrummed the praisis of Uod than the church of Christ owns now all chants, all anthems, all Ivory ktl' boards, till organ diapasons, and God will KStber up these sweet sounds after awhile, and lie will mingle them in one great hiti mony, and thu Mendelssohns, and the Hc Ihovcus, and the Mozart of thu earth will ;iiu their voices and their musical lustru lients. and soft south wind and loud lunged ctiriHil.wloii will sweep the great organ plo unit joii shall seu God's hand striking the keys and (list's foot tramping theprdals In the great oratorio of thu ages! So all artist Ik and literary advantagis are In thu Christian's right. I do not care on whoc wall the picture hangs or on whov pedestal the sculpture stands, It be longs to Christians. The lllerstadts and the churches are all working for us, "All nro yours." Thu Luxcmbourgs, tliolmvro, all the galleries of Naples nnd Homo and Venire they nre all to tome Into tlio pos session of the church of Jesus Christ. Wo may not now ham them on our walls, hut tho time will come w hen tho writ of eject ment will hereivisl and tho church will possess everything. All parks, alt llsh JkiuiIs, all colors, all harvests all, "all nro jours." Secondly, I remark that tho right to full temporal support Is In thu Christian's name. It in a great affair to feed thu world. Just think of tho fact that this morning sixteen hundred millions of our race breakfasted At God's table. The com inlssnry department of a hundred thousand men In an army will engage scores of pfo ple; but Just think of a commissary de partment of a worldl Think of thu gath ering up from thu rlcu swamps, and thu tea llelils, and thu orchards, and thu llsh rrlesl No ouu but Gist could tell how many bushels It would take to feed flvu continents. Then to clothu all thesu people how many furs must he captured, nnd how much Max broken, and how much cotton picked. Just think of thu Inllnltu ward robe where sixteen hundred millions of people get their clothes! God spreads the table 11 1st of all for his children. Uf course that would bo a very selfish man who would not allow other people to como nnd sit at his tahlu sometimes, hut first of nil tho right Is given to Christian peoplu, and therefore It Is extreme folly for tliem over to fret about food or raiment. Who fed tho whales sporting off Cape llatteras this morning? Out of whose hand did the cormorant pick Its food? Whose loom wovu thu butterlly's wing? Who hears thu hawk's cry? If (hsl takes care of a walrus, and a Siberian dog, nnd n wasp, will hu not tako euro of you? Will a father havu more regard for reptiles than for his sous and daughters? If God clothes ! thu grlzily bear, and thu panther, and t lie hyena, will hu not clothu his own children? Come, then, this morning nnd get tho key of thu inllnltu storehouse. Come and get thu key of the Inllnltu wardrobe, lleru they are all tho keys. "All are yours." TIIK 1'II.OT OK UKK'ft VOVAUK. So all thu vicissitudes of this life, so far as they havu any religious profit, aro In thu right of thu Christian. If you should stand among the Alleghany mountains, especially near what Is called tho "Horse shoe," you would llnd a train of cars al most doubling on itself, and sitting in the back car you seen locomotive coming us you look out of the window, anil you think It Is another train when It Is ouly thu front of the train In which you aru riding, and sometimes you can hardly tell whether the train Is going toward Pittsburg or toward Philadelphia, hut It is on thu track and It will reach the depot for which it started and all thu passengers will be discharged at thu right place. Now tliero urun great many sharp curves in life. Sometimes we seem to Imj going this way and Sometimes we seem to liu going that way, but If we aru Christians wo aru on thu right track and we aro going to come out at thu right place. Do not get worried, then, alsnit thu sharp curve. A sailing vessel starts from New York for Glasgow. Dies it go lu a straight line? Oh, no. It changes its tack every little wldle. Now you saj, "This vessel Instead of going to Glasgow must lie going to Havre, or It Is going to Hamburg, or It Is going to Marseilles." No.no. It Is going to Glasgow. And in this voyage of life u often havu to change our tack. One storm blows us this way and another storm blows us thnt way, but hu who holds the winds lu hla list, will bring us Into a haven of everlasting rest just at the right time. Do not worry, then, If you have to change tack. TKMllHtAl. LOSS ASH ETKIIXAL GAIN. One of the liest things that over hap pened to Paul was being thrown off his horse. One of thu best things that over happened to Joseph was being thrown Into tho pit. Thu losing of his physical eye sight helped John Milton to seo thu battle oi mu augeis. unu or tne nest tilings that ever linpiiciicd to Ignatius was Mug uirown to me wuu Delists in tlm Coliseum, nnd while eighty thousand people were jeering at his religion ne walked up to the fiercest of all the lions and looked him In the eye, as much as to saj-, "Hero I am, ready to lai devoured for Christ's sake." All things work together for jour good. If you walk the desert tho manna will fall and the sea will part. If the feverish torch of sickness Is kin dled over your pillow, by Its light you can reiul the promises. If the waves of troublo dash high above your girdle, across the blast nnd across the surge you can hear the promise, "When thou pavsest through the waters, I will be with thee." You never owned a glove, or a shoe, or a hut, or a coat moro certainly than you own all tho frets ai.d annoyances and exaspera tions of this life, and they are Isnind to work out your present and your eternal good. They are tho saws, the hammers, thu Hies by which you are to bo hewn and cut and smoothed for your eternal well being. Here Is n vessel that goes along the coast; It hugs tho coast. The captain of that vessel seems chiefly anxious to keep the paint on his ship from being marred or thu sails from being torn. When that vessel comes to port nolssly looks on it with any Interest. Hut here Is a vessel that went across the sea with vast prod uct and comes in with vast importation sails patched, masts spliced, pumps all working to keep out the water; it has come through the hurricauu which lias sunk twenty steamers. The bronzed men aro cheering among tho rigging. Now the men-of-war anchored tu tho harbor boom forth their welcome through the portholes. So theru aru some Christians wlioaru hav ing an easy time. It seems tothem smooth sailing all the way. When they get Into heaven there will lie no excitement. There will Imj very few people who will ever llnd out they are there. Hut those Christians who have gono through a hundred mid night hurricanes storm to the right of them, storm to the left of them, storm all the way when they como up tho harbor of heaven all the redeemed will turn out to greet them and bid them hall and wel come. TIIK ritOMISK OK 1I0TII WOIILDS. I go further and tell you that the Chris tian owns not only this world, but he owns the next world. No chasm to hu leaped, no desert to be crossed. There is the wall, there is thu gate of heaven, Hu owns all on this side. Now I am going to show you thnt hu owns all on thu other side. Death Is nut a rutlluu that comes down to burn us out of house and home, destroying thr house of the tabernacle so that we should be homeless forever. Oh, no! Hulsooly a black messenger who comes tu tell us It la time to move; to tell us to get out if this hut and go ill Into the palace. The Clulstlan owns nil heaven. "All arc jours." Its silmcs of beauty, Its toners of strength, Its castles of love. He will not walk lu thu eternal city us a foreigner In a strange city, hut ns n farmer walks over his own premises. "All nre yours." All tho mnnslons yours. Angels your companions. Trees of life your shade. Hills of glory your lookout. Thrones of heaven thu plncu wheru joii will shout the triumph. Jesus Is jours. God Is jours.

Atuoilg tho most pleasing iMjcupatlous of our literary times has been thu hunt for "hs'iil color," It has been u matter of faith. Kverybody has believed In It as something joii could buy, like paint, in quantities needed for jour palette. It has been frankly admitted that local color h; u thing Indispensable, especially In u novel, nnd to some extent in uu essay lu biogra phy. Indeed, thero Is .scarcely any mix ture that is not Improved by it, This Is so well nridcrstiMxl that when a writer Is about to put his llctlou into limits of lime and space he finds It tohlsiulvantiigetoget, either by letteror persona! visltnnd Inspee tion, some hs'iil color to make vivid, If not leal, the scenery and personages of his rep-li-sentatlou, Very often all hu needs is certain words or phrases, or at most a dialect, Tliero Is probably moro marketable local color lu u dialect than lu any other thing that can lv j acquired. Giving it knowledge of the pre vailing wind, the shape of tho hills, the ut i tltiuleof nature lu that locality toward the residents, and the dialect, a story can I be made so saturated with local color that It would deceive almost nnybody except, crimps, such a person us Hawthorne was.

At a dinner party the other evening the firetty auburn hftlred hostess was ntti red li nu Imported gown of yellow satin with mi iiverilrapery of black net embrohleicd In gold stars. The under petticoat wheru tho net was guthccil up showed three rows of lnertlo.. i i black and gold, show lug tho gleam of the satin through, The black net was arranged lu n deep Watt can plait in the back, held in pine; by an Im mense yellow rosette. Tho IhxIIcu was plain heavy yellow satin cut square In the neck back and front, draped with thu gold embroidered net. The sleeves were of net and came only to the ellxiw, where they were met by long wrinkled black sneib gloves. The high collTitru was handed by a narrow black satin fillet with two tiny blackbirds and a diamond star lu the very center of the Unify bank.

An all white crape was mailu with an under skirt of pale pink velvet. These under skirts seem to mark a new departure In draperies, and aro very novel and elegant. Thu crape was caught up with festoons of white silk ribbon passementerie, inter spersed with pale pink pearl beads, and a fringe of the same outlined the very low cut bodice that had pink velvet underarm seams and short putted white net sleeves, with an Inch pearl fringe for trimming.

Wo find the Inllucncc of Hoiiiau costume lu our own country lu the days of the Anglo-Saxons, It might have been thought that the loose, and, we may add, the few garments which su diced for thu climate of Italy and Greece (for Homu borrowed her fashions from Greece) would have been to tally unsuitid to the raw, damp, chilly at luosphero of Great Hritnin, We should certainly think so now, in spite of nil the warmth of colly furnished houses and thu protection from weather which we en Joy. How women managed to live and work lu those long flowing tunics In days when manual labor was so much more common lu nil classes, when roads weru miry and pathways am) pavements did not exist, passes comprehension. It nevur seems to havu occurr d to Anglo-Saxon dames to clothe the bisly In sections and havu scpa rate garments adapted to each part. Their idea was to envelop themselves in one long covering, adding u mantle for outdoor wear, while the interior clothing was of the most elementary kind. Greek women only wore one garment under thu chiton, and it is amusing to follow thu struggles of learned German writers attempting to tlcllue the shapu and maku of this usually invisible piece of clothing, which seems to havu been a ctoss between a low necked vest nnd a chemise. Our male ancestors were a little more sensible, for they wore coarse leggius, nnd their tunics, being worn only to thu knees, did yot incomimslu their movements. Notes and Queries.

If she prefers to spend it all in gifts for others, be sure that gives her thu most satisfaction. If sho lets her self be imposed upon by beggars and Im postors on the street, let her do it. She will soon gnln experience. What difference to you how she spends the money jou give her so long as she does not nsk j-ou for more? Philadelphia Mu sic and Drama. The nights of Chllilrau.

The next light is to a happy childhood. The third right of a child is thu right to Is properly educated.

A Disinfecting Device. In cases of whooping cough, diphtheria and other throat diseases physicians fre quently pre-crllie that cloths dipped lu a solution of carbolic acid bu bung up in the sickroom or other disinfectants sprinkled about. An improvement on the old method Is suggested ny the "whooping cough lamp," a device invented abroad. A small, hastily regulated coll oil llaine nets directly upon a howl tilled with a proper amount of th.Miilall.ed lijdrocai hou, the fumes of which disinfect the air.
