TALMAGE'S SEBMON. EXPATRIATION THE SUBJECT OP LAST SUNDAY'S TALK. Golden Teztf And the King Went Forth and Tarried In a Place Which Was Far OIT Second Uook f 8am mel lit) 17. AR up and far back in the history of heaven there came a period when its most illustrious cit izen was about to absent himself. He was not going to sail from beach to beach ; we have often done that. He was not going to . : - 4. J put out from one hemisphere to an other hemisphere; many of us have done that. But he was to sail from world to world, the spaces unexplored and the immensities untraveled. No world has ever hailed heaven, and Heaven has never hailed any other world. I think that the windows and the balconies were thronged, and that the pearly beach was crowded with those who had come to see him sail out of the harbor of light into the ocean be yond. Out and out and out, and on and on and on, and down and down and down he sped, until one n!ght, with only one to greet him, when he arrived, his disembarkation so unpretending, so quiet, that it was not known on earth until the excitement in the cloud gave Intimation to the Bethlehem rustics that something grand and glorious had happened. Who comes there? From what port did he sail? Why was this the place of his destination? I question the shepherds. I question the camel drivers. I question the angels. I have found out. He was an exile. But the world had plenty of exiles. Abraham, an exile from Harau; John, an exile from Ephesus; Kosciusko, an exile from Poland; Mazzini, an exile from Rome; Emmet, an exile from Ireland; Victor Hugo, an exile from France; Kossuth, an exile from Hungary. But this One of whom I speak to-day had such resounding farewell and came into such chilling reception for not even a hostler went out with his lantern to light him in that he is more to be celebrated than any other expatriated exile of earth or heaven. First, I remark that Christ was an Imperial exile. He got down off a throne. He took off a tiara. He closed a palace gate tehind him. His family were princes and princesses. Vashtl was turned out of the throne-room by Aha suerua. David was dethroned by Ab salom's Infamy. The five kings were hurled Into a cavern by Joshua's cour age. Some of the Henrys of England and some cf the Louises of France were Jostled on their thrones by discontent ed subjtc:s. Bat Christ was never more honored, or more popular, or more loved than the day he left heaven. Exiles have suffered severely, but Christ turned himself out from throne-room Into sheep-pen, and down from the top to the bottom. He was not pushed off. He was not manacled for foreign trans portation. He was not put out because they no more wanted him In celestial domain, but by choice departing and descending into an exile five times as long as that of Napoleon at St Helena, and a thousand times worse; the one exile suffering for that he had destroyed nations, the other exile suffering be cause he came to save a world. An Im perial exile. King eternal. "Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him that Eltteth upon the throne." But I go further, and tell you he was an exile cn a barren Island. This world Is one of the smallest Islands of light In the ocean of immensity. Other stellar kingdoms are many thousand times larger than this. Christ came to this email Patmos of a world. When exiles are Bent out they are generally sent to regions that are sandy or cold, or hot some Dry Tortugas of disagreeable ness. Christ came as an exile to a "world scorched with heat and bitten with cold, to deserts Eimoon-swept, to a howling wilderness. It was the back door yard, seemingly, of the universe. Yea, Christ came to the poorest part of this barren island of a world Asia Minor, with its Intense summers, unfit for the residence of a foreigner, and In the rainy season unfit for the residence of a native. Christ came not to such a land as America, or England, or France, or Germany, but to a land one-third of the year drowned, another third of the year burned up, and only one-third of the year just tolerable. Oh! it was the barren Island of a world. Barren enough for Christ, for it gave such amall worship and such inadequate af fection, and such little gratitude. Im perial exile on the barren island of a world. I go further, and tell you that he was an exile in a hostile country. Turkey was never so much against Russia, France was never so much against Ger many, as this earth was against Christ. It took him in through the door of a stable. It thrust him out at the point of a spear. The Roman government against him with every weapon of its army, and every decision of its courts, and every beak of its war eagles. For years after his arrival, the only ques tion was how best to put him out. Herod hated him, the high-priests hated him, the Pharasees hated him, Judas Iacariot hated him; Gestas, the dying thief, hated him. The whole earth seemingly turned into a detective to watch his steps. And yet he faced this ferocity. Notice that most of Christ's wounds were in fronL Some scourging on the shoulders, but most of Christ's wounds in front. He was not on retreat when he expired. Face to face with the world's ferocity. Face to face with the world's sin. Face to face with the world's woe. His eye on the raging countenances of his foaming antagon ists when he expired. When the cav alry officer roweled his steed so that hie might come nearer up and see the tor tured visage of the suffering exile, Chlrst saw it. When the spear was thrust at his side, and when the ham mer was lifted for his feet, and when the reed was raised to strike deeper down the spikes of thorn, Christ watched the whole procedure. "When his hands were fastened to the cross they were wide open still with benedic tion. Mind you, his head was not fas tened; he could look to the right and he could look to the left, and he could look up and he could look down. He saw when the spikes had been driven home, and the hard, round, iron heads were in the palms of his hands; he saw them as plainly as you ever saw any thing in the palms of your hands. No ether, no chloroform, no merciful anes thetic to dull or stupefy, but, widea wake, he saw the obscuration of the heavens, the unbalancing of the rocks, the countenances quivering with rage and the cschinnation diabolic. Oh! It was the hostile as well as the barren island of a world. m m m Homesickness will make a week seem as long as a month, and it seems to me that the three decades of Christ's residence on earth must have seemed to him almost interminable. You have often tried to measure the other pangs of Christ, but you have never tried to measure the magnitude and ponderosity of a Saviour's homesickness. I take a step further and tell you that Christ was in an exile which he knew would end in assassination. Hol man Hunt, the master painter, has a picture in which he represents Jesus Christ in the Nazarene carpenter-shop. Around him are the saws, the hammers, the axes, the drills of carpentry. The picture represents Christ, as rising from the carpenter's working-bench and wearily stretching out his arms as one will after being in contracted or un comfortable posture, and the light of that picture is so arranged that the arni3 of Christ, wearily stretched forth, together with his body, throw on the wall the shadow of the cross. Oh! my friends, that shadow was on everything in Christs's life-time. Shadow of a cross on the Bethlehem swaddling clothes. Shadow of a cross on the road over which the three fugitives fled into Egypt. Shadow of a cross on Lake Galilee as Christ walked its mosaic floor of opal and emerald and crystal. Shadow of a cross on the road to Em maus. Shadow of a cross on the brook Kedron, and on the temple, and on the side of Olivet. Shadow of a cross on sunrise and sunset. Constantlne, march ing with his army, saw just once a cross in the sky. but Christ saw the cross all the time. On a rough Journey we cheer our selves with the fact that It will end in warm hospitality; but Christ knew that his rough path would end at a defoliag ed tree without one leaf and with only two branches, bearing fruit of such bit terness as no human lips had ever tast ed. Oh what an exile starting in an infancy without any cradle, and end ing in assassination. Thirst without any water. Day without any sunlight. The doom of a desperado for more than angelic excellence. For what that ex patriation and that exile? Worldly good sometimes comes from wordly evil. The accidental glance of a sharp blade from a razor-grinder's wheel put out the eye of Gambetta and excited sym pathies which gained him an education and started him on a career that made his name more majestic among Frenchmen than any other name in the last twenty years. Hawthorne, turned out of the office of collector, at Salem, went home in despair. His wife touched him on the shoulder and said, "Now is the time to write your book" and his famous "Scarlet Let ter" was the brilliant consequence. Worldly good sometimes comes from worldly evil. Then be not unbeliev ing when I tell you that from the greatest crime of all eternity and of the whole universe, the murder of the Son of God, there shall come results i which shall eclipse all the grandeurs ! of eternity past and eternity to come. I Christ, an exile from heaven opening the way for the deportation toward heaven and to heaven of all those who will accept the proffer. Atonement, a ship large enough to take all the pas sengers that will come aboard it. For this royal exile I bespeak the love and service of all the exiles here present, and, in one sense or the other, that includes all of us. The gates of this continent have been so widely opened that there are here many voluntary exiles from other lands. Some of you are Scotchmen. I see It In your high cheek-bone3, and in the color that illumines your face when I mention the land of your na tivity.1 Bonnie Scotland! Dear old kirk! Some of your ancestors sleeping in GreyfrlarB churchyard, or by the deep lochs filled out of the pitchers of heaven, or under the heather sometimes so deep of color It makes one think of the blood of the Covenanters who signed their names for Christ, dipping their pens Into the veins of their own arms opened for that purpose. How every fibre of your nature thrills as I mention the names of Robert Bruce, and the Campbells, and Cochrane. I bespeak for this royal exile of my text the love and the service of all Scotch exiles. Some of you are Englishmen. Your ancestry served the Lord. Have I not read of the sufferings of the Hay market? and Lave I not seen In Ox ford the very spot where Ridley and Latimer mounted the red chariot? Some of your ancestors heard George Whltefleld thunder, or heard Charles Wesley sing, or heard John Bunyan tell his dream of the celestial city; and the cathedrals under the shadow of which some of you were born had In their grandest organ-roll the name of the Messiah. I bespeak for the royal exile of my sermon, the love aa4 the service of all English exiles. Yes, some of you came from the island of distress over which Hunger, on a throne of human skeletons, sat queen. All efforts at amelioration halted by massacre. Procession of famines, pro cession of martyrdoms marching from Northern Channel to Cape Clear and from the Irish Sea across to the At lantic. An island not bounded as geographers tell us, but as every phil anthropist knows bounded on the north and the south and the east and the west by woe which no human poli tics can alleviate, and only almighty God can assuage. Land of Goldsmith's rhythm, and Sheridan's wit, and O'Connell's eloquence, and Edmund Burke's statesmanship, and O'Brien's sacrifice. Another Patmos with Its apoclaypse of blood. Yet you cannot think of It today without having your eyes blinded with emotion, for there your ancestors sleep in graves, some of which they entered for lack of bread. For this royal exile of my sermon I bespeak the love and the service of all Irish exiles. Yes, some of you are from Germany, the land of Luther, and some of you are from Italy, the land of Garibaldi, and some of you are from France, the land of John Calvin, one of the three mightles of the glorious Reformation. Some of you are descendants of the Puritans, any they were exiles; and some of you are descendants of the Huguenots, and they were exiles; and some of you are descendants of the Holland refugees, and they were exiles. Some of you were born on the banks of the Yazoo or the Savannah, and you are now liv ing In this latitude. Some of you on the. banks of the Kennebec, or at the foot of the Green Mountains, and you are here now. Some of you on the prairies of the West, or the table lands, and you are here now. Oh! how many of us far away from home. All of us exiles. This is not our home. Heaven is our home. Oh! I am so glad when the royal exile went back he left the gate ajar, or left It wide open. "Going home!" That is the dying exclamation of the majority of Christians. I have seen many Chris tians die. I think nine out of ten of them in the last moment say, "Going home." Going home out of banishment and sin and sorrow and sadness. Go ing home to join in the hilarities of our parents and our dear children who have already departed. Going home to Christ. Going home to God. Go ing home to stay. Where are your loved ones that died In Christ? You pity them. Ah! they ought to pity you. You are an exile far from home. They are home! Oh! what a time it will be for you when the gatekeeper of heaven shall say: "Take off that rough sandal; the Journey's ended. Put down that sabre; the battle's won. Put off that iron coat of mail and put on the robe of conqueror." At that gate of triumph I leave you to day, only reading three tender cantos translated from the Italian. If you ever heard anything sweeter I never did, although I cannot adopt all its theology: 'Ttvas whispered one morning: In heaven How the little child-angel May In the shade of the great white portal Sat sorrowing night and day; How she said to the stately warden He of the key and bar "Oh, angel, sweet angel. I pray you Set the beautiful gates ajar. Only a little, I pray you. Set the beautllul gates ajar. "I can hear my mother wesplngr. She Is lonely, she cannot see A glimmer of light In the darkness. When the gates shut after me; Oh. turn me the key, sweet angel. The splendor will shine so far!" But the warden answered, "I dare not Set the beautiful gates ajar." Spoke low and answered, "I dare not Set the beautiful gates ajar." Then up rose Mary, the blessed. Sweet Mary, the mother of Christ; Her hand on the hand of the angel She laid, and her touch sufficed. Turned was the key In the portal. Fell ringing the golden bar. And lo! In the little child's lingers Stood the beautiful gates ajar. In the little child's angel fingers Stood the beautiful gates ajar. BITS OF KNOWLEDGE.

The coming eclipse expedition of Amherst college will be in charge of Prof. David P. Todd. It will observe the eclipse of 1896 from the island of Gezo, Japan. Crime is more common In single life than in married. In the former 33 In every 100,000 are guilty, while only 11 married men of the same number have gravely broken the laws. There are in Ohio about 17.500 oil wells, of which more than 3,000 were bored in 1894. The Klrkrldge yields 310 barrels per hour, or 7,740 per day. Another yields over 1,200 barrels a day. In London unlike other cities, es pecially New York and Vienna no house is permitted to exceed In height the width of the street in front and the number of inhabitants is limited by law. Prince Bismarck received bout 218, 000 postal cards from as many admirers congratulating him on his eightieth birthday.

LESSON V, SUNDAY. MAY THE POWER OF FAITH. a Golden Text: "Lord, Increase Oar Faith f,nke XTll, 6 The IlamUlty of Faith Earthly Blessings Thereof - Present and Everlasting. OR TODAY our lesson Includes Luke xvll, 6 19. Nearly the whole chapter can be used In this lesson in its bear ing upon faith. In the earlier verses of this chapter certain very hard duties were laid down, which re quired great faith. Then comes the promise by which little faith became great, and faith's mighty power was shown. We turn to the parallel Scriptures and see how this promise is repeated four times with the same or similar Illustrations. We turn to the story of Lazarus raised from the dead. In John xl, which belongs between verses 10 and 11 of this chapter, and behold a wonderful illustration of the power of faith. In the ten lepers we have another example of the power of faith, not only to cure the Incurable leprosy, but also to save the soul of at least one leper. In the remaining verses we see the dangers :o which the disciples would be exposed, and in the long waiting for the coming of the in visible kingdom, in the patient faithfulness required, strong reasons for praying. "Lord, increase our faith." Thus one deep Impression may be made as to the need of faith, the power of faith, and how to obtain this larger faith. Time Verses 5-10. December. A. D. 29, or January. A. D. 30. The healing of the lepers, in March. A. D. 20. shortly before the crucifixion. Place On the border line between Samaria and Galilee, on the way from Ephraim across the Jordan, and down through Perea to Beth any. The full text of today's lesson is as follows: 5. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6. And the Lord said. Tf ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree. Tie thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted In the sea; and It should obey you. 7. But which of you. having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he come from the field. Go and sit down to meat? 8. And will not rather say unto him. Make ready wherewith I may sup. and gird thyself, and serve me. till I have eaten and drunken: and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 9. Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow rot. 10. So likewise ye. when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you. say. We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. 11. And It came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12. And as he entred Into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: IS. And they lifted up their voices, and said. Jesus. Master, have mercy on us. 14. And when he saw them, he said unto them. Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And It came to rass. that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God. 16. And he fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samari tan. 17. And Jesus answering said. Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? IS. There are not found that returned to give glory to God. save this stranger. 19. And he said unto him. Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. Some explanations to the above are as fol lows: 6. "And the Lord said.' What he said was an answer to their reo,uest. ns it implied nearly all the ways of Increasing faith re ferred to above. "If ye had." if ye "have." Implying that they have faith, but do not fully act It out. "Faith as a grain of mus tard seed." "the smallest of garden seeds;" even a very little faith, but real and living, not like a grain of sand, but with life in It. and a power of growing. "Ye might say." ye would say. your little but active faith would Impel you to say, "unto this sycamine tree." apparently pointing to one near by. "Be thou plucked up by the root." what power less than divine can pluck up that tree? "Be thou planted In the sea." lifted over the valleys and hills to the distant sea. "And It should." It would, "obey you." It is within the ability of faith to wield this power. Tl. "As he went to Jerusalem." This was several weeks after the first part of this les son. "Through the midst." In the middle way between "Samaria and Galilee." east ward toward the Jordan. 12. "Ten men that were lepers." nine Jews and one Samaritan. Leprosy was a common disease. "Afar off," being forbidden by law to approach others. The leprosy made them outcasts. 13. "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." This call upon Jesus showed that they had some kind and degree of faith In him. They had doubtless heard of those who had been already cured by Jesus (Luke t, 12-15). Faith loves to stand on facts. 14. "Go shew yourselves unto the priests." When a leper was cured, before he could be restored to society, he was requested to show himself to the priest, to make an offering, and to be officially pronounced clean. "As they went, they were cleansed." After they had shown their faith by obedience. It was done unto them according to their faith. 15. "And one of them turned back," not in disobedience to Jesus, for he would quickly obey, but In obedience to the higher duty of gratitude and love. The others went on n their cold and formal obedience. RAM'S HORNS. The more God gives us to do, the more need there is that we should pray. Some preachers are trying every means for filling their churches, except holding up Christ. To pray the Lord's prayer as Jesus taught It, will change a desert life into a fruitful garden. If you take the devil home to dinner with you, you may have to take him for a boarder. Y t . a . . j v lunc 1 1 11 jjii .-Mill n no ii. in iiii -i"ii.

Greek legends declared that the mys tic rings of Gygea, the king of Lydla, made the wearer Invisible. Lorenzo de Medici woro a ring which, according to tradition, had once be longed to the Emperor Nero. In the later Roman empire rings cut from solid stone, generally agate or onyx, became fashionable. Wlint to Carry on n Illcycle When Tonrlng. There is a well-known system for carrying baggage on a walking tour which is eminently suited to bicyclists; this is to have two pieces of baggage. The first is a large valise or small trunk, containing clothing of all kinds needed for an ordinary two weeks' trip by rail, besides toilet articles, and so on. The materials for the other is composed of a similar set of toilet ar ticles, and one or at most two sets of underclothing, besides an extra pair of shoes or si ippers moccasins pack eas ily and are very serviceable. This last is packed In a leather case set in the diamond frame of the wheel, or into a knapsack carried on the shoulders. If the diamond-shaped portmanteau is properly made it is better. Luggage seems lighter on the wheel than on your back. The trouble with the average port manteau is that it is too thick, making it necessary for the wheelman to strad dle it instead of giving him the free use of his limbs to press up and down on the pedals perpendicularly. If you will take the trouble to have this port manteau made to order and carefully measured, so that it will not come out side a line drawn on either side of the bicycle from the sides of the saddle to "the inside of each pedal when at its lowest point in a revolution, you will find no trouble with it. This, however, necessitates its leiug nar rower at the top than at the bottom. On arriving at a hotel for the night, it is unstrapped from the wheel and taken up to your room. Then after your bath there is a change of cloth ing, the slippers, the toilet articles in a little case by themselves, and your repair kit, which may be wanted in the evening for some little repairs on the wheel. The iortmanteau will al ways le full, so take only what is ab solutely necessary, otherwise you will find that some important tiling has leen left behind, and a useless appen dage brought only to occupy valuable space, and be thrown away in disgust. Always carry soap and a towel. They are sometimes hard to find, and often- er so ltfid that one goes dirty rather than use them. Harper's Round Table. .

It has been claimed by observers of birds that some of the feathered trile will feed their young if they are caged, and if they fail after a certain time to release them they will bring them a poisoned weed to eat. that death may end their captivity, says the Car son Appeal. Alout a week ago at the Holstein ranch the children captured a nest of three young orioles, and they were immediately caged and hung in a tree. The mother was soon about calling her young, and in a little while brought them some worms. She continued feeding them regularly for several days, without seeming to pay much attention to persons about. But on Sunday came the tragic end ing that demonstrated the theory rela tive to birds. She brought them a sprig of green on Sunday morning and disappeared. In less than an hour they all died. The sprig was examined and proved to be the deadly larkspur, a weed that will kill full-grown cattle. The little creatures lay dead in the cage and slightly foaming at the mouth victims of their mother's stern resolve that her offspring should die by her own act rather than live In captivity.
