TALMAGt'SbERMl))
Dr. Talmage's sermon was from Job
XXZTiiL.22: "Hast thou entered into
the treasure of the snow."
tiroasly m ligned in the season of
winter. The spring and summer and
Mtumn have had many admirers, but
wiater, hoary-headed and white-beard-ed
winter, hath bad more enemies than
friends. Yet without winter the hu
man race would be insane and effort
less. You might speak of the winter
aa the mother of :empests; I take it
the father of the whole of a family of
physical, mental and spiritual energies.
The most people that I know are strong
in proportion to the number of snow
banks they had to climb over, or push
through in childhood, while their fattier
drore the sled loaded with logs through
the crunching drifts as higu as the
fences. At this season of the year,
when we are so familiar with the snow,
these frozen vapors, those falling blos
soms of the sky, those white angels of
the atmosphere, those poems of the
storm, those Iliads and Odysseys of
the wintry tempest, I turn over the
leaves of my bible and though most
of it was written in a clime where snow
seldom or never fell find many of
these beautiful cyngelations. Though
the writers may seldom or never have
felt the cold touch of the snow flake on
their cheek, they had in sight two
mountains the tops of which were sug
festive. Other kings sometimes take
off their crowns, but Lebanon and
llount Hermon all the year round and
through the ages never lift the coro
nets of crystal from their foreheads.
The first time we find a deep fall of
snow in the Bible is where Samuel de-
scribes a fight between Benaiah and a
lion in a pit, and though the snow
may have crimsoned under the wounds
of both man and brute, the shaggy
monster rolled over dead and the giant
was victor. But the snow is not fully
recognized in the Bible until God in
terrogates Job, the scientist, concern
ing its wonders, saying: "Hast thou
entered into the treasures of the snow ?"
And now I propose for your spirit
ual and everlasting profit, if you will
accept my guidauce, to take you
through some of these wonders of crys
tallization. And notice first, God in
the littles. You may take Alpenstock
and crass the Mer de Glace, the Sea of
Ice, and ascend Mont Blanc which
rises into the coulds like a pillar of the
Great White Throne, or with Arctic ex
plorer ascend the mountains around
the north pole and see glaciers 1,000
feet high grinding against glaciers
3,000 feet high But I will take you on
a less pretentious journey and show
you God in the snowflake. There is
took enough between its pillars for
the great Jehovah to stand. In that
one frozen drop on the tip of your
finger you may find the throne room of
the Almighy. I take up the snow in
my hand and see the coursers of cel
estial dominion pawing these crystal
pavements. The telescope is grand,
but I must confess that I am quite as
much interested in the microscope. The
one reveals the universe beneath us;
the other, Just as great a universe
ben eat n ns. But the telescope over
' whelms me, while the microscope com
forts me. What you want and I want
especially is a God in littles. If we
were seraphic or archangelic in our
natures we would want to study God
In the great, but such small, weak,
short lived beings as you and I are
waatto find God in the littles.
When I see the Maker of the uni
verse giving Himself to the architect-
are of a snowflake and making its
shafts, its domes, its curves, its walls,
its irradiations so perfect, 1 conclude
He will look after our insignificant af-!
fairs. And if we are of more value
than a sparrow, most certainly we are
of mora value than an inanimate snow
flake. So the Bible would chiefly im-
i us with God in the littles. It
i not say "Consider the clouds.
but it say.', "Consider the lilies." It
does not say, "Behold the tempests!''
but "Behold the fowls!" and it ap
plauds a cup of cold water and the
widow's two mites, and says the hairs
of tout head are numbered. Do not
tamr thorefore. that vou are going to
be lost in the crowd. Do not think
that because you estimate yourself as
oaty on snowflake among a three
days' January snow storm that you
rl ha fnnrotten.
Hahnld also, in the snow the treas
ure of accumulated power. During

its fingers on the lip of our cities that
were talking with each other and they
went into silence, uttering not a word.
The snow mightier than the lightning
Another treasure of the snow is the
suggestion of the usefulness of sorrow.
Absence of snow last winter lias not
yet ended its disasters. Within a few
weeks it put tens of thousands into the
grave and left o hers in homes and hos
pitals gradually to go down. Called
by a trivial name, the Russian "grip,"
it was au inernational plague. Plenty
of snow means public health. There is
no medicine that so soon cures the
world's miliarias as these white pellets
that ihe clouds administer. Pellets,
small enough to be homueopathie, but
in such large doses as to be alopathic,
and meiur.g soon enough to be hydro
pathic. Like a sponge every flake ab
sorbs unhealthy gases. 'I he tablets
of mortality in New York and Brook
lyn immediately lessened when the
snow began to fall. The snow is one
of the grandest and best of the world's
doctors.
Yes, it is necessary for the land's pro
ductiveness. Great snows in winter
are generally fo.lowed by great harvests
next summer. Scientilic analysis has
shown that snow contains a larger per
centage of ammonia than the rain, and
hence its greatest power of enrichment.
And besides that, it is a white blanket
to keep the earth warm. Snow strikes
back the ricli gaies which otherwise
would escape in the air and be lost.
Thank God for the snows, and may
those of December and January have
been, high and deep, wide and enrich
ing; then the harvest of next July will
embroider with gold this entire Ameri
can continent But who with any
analogical faculty can notice that out
of such chill as the snow comes the
wheat, without realizing that chilling
sorrows produce harvest of grace! The
strongest Christians, without any ex
ception, are those who were by bereave
ments, or sickness, or poverty or per
secution, or all them put together,
snowed under, tnd again and again
snowed under. These snow storms of
trouble! They kill the malarias of the
souL They drive us out of worldly de
pendence to God. Call the roll of alj
the eminently piour of all the ages and
you will find them the sons and daugh
ters of sorrow. The Marouites say that
one characteristic of the cedar tree is
that when the air is full of snow, and
it begins to descend, the tree lifts its
branches in a way better to receive the
snow and bear up under it, and I know
by much observation that the grandest
cedars of Christian character lift
higher their branches toward God when
the snows of trouble are coming. Lord
Nelson's coffin was made out of the
masts of L'Orient, in which he had
fought so bravely, and your throne in
in heaven, O suffering child of Gcd
will be built out of couquered earthly
disasters. What gave John Hunyan
such a wonderous dream of the celes
tialcity? The Bedford penitentiary-
What gave Richard Baxter such power
to tell of the ".Saints' Everlasting
Rest," and gave his immortal "Call to
the Unconverted ?" Physical disease
which racked every nerve of his body.
AVhat made George Whitfield so mighty
in saving souls, bringing 10,000 to God
when others brought 100? Persecu
tion that caricatured and assailed him
all up and down England, and dead
vermin thrown in his face when he w8
preaching. What mellowed and glori
fled Wilberforce's Christian character?
financial misfortune that led him to
write: "I know why my life is spared
so long except it be to show that a man
can be as happy without a fartune as
with one." What gave John Milton
such keen spiritual eyesight that be
could see the battle of the angels?
Extinguishment of physical eyesight
What is the highest observatory for
studying the stars of hope and faith
and spiritual promise? The believer s
sickbed. What proclaims the richest
and most golden harvest that wave on
all the hills of heavenly rapture? The
snows, the deep snows, tho awful snows
of earthly calamity. And that com
forting thought is one of the treasures
of the snow.
Another treasure of the snow is the
suggestion that this mantle covering
the earth is like the soul alter is tor
given. "Wash me," said the psalmist
"and I shall be whiter than snow." My
dear friend Gasherie De Witt went
over to Geneva, Switzerland, for the re
covery of his health, but the Lord had
something better for him than earthly
recovery, utueaia I tmna wnen i
bade him good-bye one lovely after
noon on the other side of the sea, to re
turn to America, that we would not
meet ia till we meet in heaven. As
he lay one Sabbath morning on his dy
ing pillow in Switzerland, the window
open, he was Moung out npon Mount
Blanc. The air was clear. That great
mountain stood in iU robe of snow
ciittering in the morning light, and
my friend said to sis wife: "Jennie

Job had trreat admiration
for
snow, but he declares in substance that ,
if he should wash his soul in melted
snow, he would still be covered with
mud like a man down in a ditch. (Job
ix,30.) 'if I wash wyselt in snow
water, and iake uy hands never so
clean, yet shalt thou plunge me in the
ditch and mine own clothes shall abhor
me." We must be washed in the foun
tain of God's mercy, before we can be
mat'.e whiter than snow. "Without
holiness, no man shall see the Lord.'.
Oh, for the eleansing power!"
If thera be in all this audience one
man or woman whose though s have
always been right, and whose words al
ways right, and whose actions always
right, let such a one rise, or if already
standing, lift the right hand. Not one!
All we, like sheep' have gone astray.
Unclean! Unclean! And yet we may
be made whiter than snow, whiter than
that which, on a cold winter's morn
ing, after a night of storm, clothes the
from bottom of trunk to top of
hiehest branch; whiter than that which
this hour, makes the Adriandacks and
the Sierra Nevada and Mount Washing
ton heights of pomp and splendor fit
to enthrone an archangel.
In the time of Graham, the essayist,
in one mountain district of Scotland an
average of ten shepherds perished every
winter in the snow drifts, and so he
proposed that, at the distance of every
mile, a pole fifteen feet high and with
two cross pieces be erected, showing
the points of the compass, and a bell
hung at the top so that every breeze
would ring it, and so the lost one on
the mountains would hear the sound
and take the direction given by this
pole with the cross piece and get safe
ly home. Whether that proposed plan
was adoptel or not I do not know, but
I declare to all you who are in heavy
and blinding drifts of sin and sorrow
that there is a cross near by that can
direct you to home, and peace, and
God; and hear vou not the ringing of
the gospel bell hanging to that cross,
saying: This is tne way, wan ye in
it?"
Japanese Bell.
Bells were in use in China, Japan
and India long before they were known
in Europe. In the space fronting the
temples of Nikko, Japan, there are
enormous bells of exquisite purity of
sound, too heavy to be suspended in
any tower which this people build, and
so they are swung on low frames of
stout timber, the bell being only three
or four feet from the ground.
They are rung by means of batter
ing rams, made of long joists of hard
wood, suspended so as to swing by the
united aid of many human hands. They
give out soft and muffled, though deep
and far reaching, notes. Youth s Com

Lake of Boiling Wate r.
There is a lake of boiling water in
the island of Dominica, lying in the
mountains behind Roseau, and in the
valleys surrounding it are many sol
fataras, or volcanic sulphur vents. In
fact the boiling lake is a little better
than a crater filled with scalding water
constantly fed by mountain streams,
and through which the pent up gases
find vent and are rejected. The tem
peratore of the water on the margins
of the lake range from ISP to 1SO0
Fahrenheit. In the middle, exactly
over the gas vents, it is believed to be
300. Where this active action takes
place, the water if said to rise two,
three or even four feet above the gen
eral surface level of the lake, the cone
often dividing so that the orifices
through which the gases escapes are
legion in number. This violent dis.
turbance over the gas jets causes a vio
lent action over the whole surface of
the lake, and through the cones appear
to be special vents, the sulphurous
vapors rise with equal density over its
entire surface. Contrary to what one
would suppose, there seems to be in no
case violent action of tre escaping
gases, such asexplosions or detonations.
The water is of a dard gray color, and
having been boiled over and over for
thousands of years, has become thick
and slimy with sulphur. As the inlets
to the lake are rapidly closing, it is be
lieved that it will soon assume the
character of a geyser or sulphurous
crater.

hedge could be advantageously applied

riaDt.BC n Orchard
ow is tne time lor the farmer on
the prairie farm who has not yet se
cured this very important improve
ment H) arrange ior it. Trees were
never cheaper. The spring is the pro
per time to plant, because experience
has taught the tree grower in the west
that a larger per cent of spring plant
ing lives than of the fall planting. The
dry fall weather and the dry freezing
seasons of winter is regarded unfavor
able. The early spring with its cus
tomary wet, showery season encour
ages vegetation and is sure to start the
tree growth if it is in good living con
dition. One of the greatest mistake that is
made in setting out an orchard is in
spacing tne trees. The crowding of
trees into a small space Is more fre
quently observed on our big prairie
farms than on the hillsides of the east
ern farm. As to the space between
trees, it is safe to say that thirly-two
feet is as close as trees should be set,
in order to give the trees plenty of
room when grown up. Some prefer
the plan of p'anting closer in the row
and spacing the rows wider, say four
rods apart. This plan gives an advan.
tage in the cultivation of the land. It
is a difficult thing to crop an orchard
that is closely planted without Inter
fering with the trees. It will be ob
served, however, that many of our
Nebraska and Iowa orchards, that
have the trees set so close together
that by the time they sre in full beat
ing they are so helged In that It is Im

fruit is even greater in many Instances
