when the trees reach maturity the
plantation should yield handsome
profits.

Not long ago a young man in Port
land. Me., bought an old army mus
ket to celebrate. A little later he was
giving the weapon an overhauling,
when he noticed some scratches on the
stock that looked like writing. After
giving the stock a good cleaning, it
was found that the scratches formed
the name "Samuel H. Gammon.” As
"Sam" Gammon is one of the Port
land G. A. R. veterans whom every
body knows, the yoking man was nat
urally very much surprised at iinding
his name on the old gun. When the
musket was shown Mr. Gammon he at

returned to the government when he
was mustered out of service thirty

TALM AGE'S SERMON.
HE TALKS OF THE GOOD DONE
BY CITIES.
They Arc the Birthplace of Civilization
and Are Not Neccd.artly Evil —
The Farmer aa Dishonest as tho
Merchant.
(Copyright. 1900, by Louie Klopsch.l
From St. Petersburg, the Russian
capital, where he was cordially re
ceived by the emperor and empress and
the empress dowager, Hr. Talmage
sends this discourse,in which lie shows
the mighty good that may be done by
the cities, and also the vaot evil they
may do by their allurements to the un
suspecting and tha unguarded. Tho
text is Zechariab i. 17, "My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread
abroad."
The city is no worse than the coun
try. The vires of the metropolis are
more evident than the vices of the
rural districts because there are more
to be bad if they wish to be. The
merchant is as good as the farmer.
There is no more cheating in town
than out of town—no worse cheating;
it is only on a larger scale. The coun
tryman sometimes prevaricates about
the age of the horse that he sells, about
the sizp of the bushel with which he
measures the grain, about the peaches
at the bottom of the basket as being
as large as those at the top, about the
quarter of beef a;i being tender when
it is tough, and to ns bad an extent
as the citizen, the merchant, prevari
cates about calicoes or silks or hard
ware.
And ns to villages, I think that in
some respects they are worse than
the cltlps hecause they copy the vices
of the cities in the meanest shape, and
as to gossip its heaven is a country
village. Everybody knows everybody's
business better than he knows it him
self. The grocery store or the black
smith shop by day and night is the
grand depot for masculine tittle tattle,
and there are always In the village
a half dozen women who have their
sunbonnets hanging near, so that at
the first item of derogatory news they
can fly out and cackle it all over the
town. Countrymen must not be too
hard in their criticism of the citizen,
nor must the plow run too sharply
against the yardstick.
Cain was the founder of the first
c*ty, and I suppose it took after him
in morals. It takes a city a long while
prisons are the shallow of those foun
der. Where the founders of a city are
criminal exiles, the filth, the vice, the
prisons are the shadow of their foun
ders. It will take centuries for New
York to get over the good influence of
the pious founders of that city—the
founders whose prayers went up in the
streets where now banks discount and
brokers bargain and companies de
clare dividends and smugglers swear
custom house lies, and above the roar
of the wheels and the crack of the auc
tioneer's mallet ascends the ascrip
tion, "We worship thee, O thou al
mighty dollar.” The old church that
used to stand on Wall street is to this
day throwing Its blessing on the scene
of traffic, and on all the ships folding
their white wings in the harbor. In
other days people gathered in cities
for defense—none but the poor, who
had nothing to be stolen, lived in the
country, but in these times, when
[ through civilization and Christianity it
; is safe to live anywhere, people gather
I in the cities for purposes of rapid
! gain.
Highway of Prosperity.
Cities are not evli necessarily, as
some have argued. They have been
the birthplace of civilization. In them
popular liberty has lifted its voice.
Witness Genoa and I’isa and Venice.
After the death of Alexander the Great
among his papers were found extensive
plans of t itles? some to he built in Eu
rope, some to be built in Asia. The
'ities in Europe were to be occupied
! by Asiatics; the cities in Asia were to
; be occupied, according to his plan, by
j Europeans, and so there should be a
| commingling ard a fraternity and a
klndm.'K and a good will between (ho
continents and between the cities. So
there always ought to be. The strang
i est tiling in my comprehension is that
] there should be bickerings und rivil
i ri«s among our American cities. New
j York must stop caricaturing Phlladel
1 phla. and Philadelphia must stop pick
ing ut New York, an I certainly the
1 continent is targe enough for St. Paul
md Minneapolis. What is good for
i one city is good f ir all the cities Hero
{ is the great highway of our national
i prosperity. On that highway of na
tional prosperity walk the cl*lea.

Important tnnonn.
Hut while there are great differences
in some respects I have to tell you that
all cities impress upon me and ought
to impress upon you three or four very
important lessons, all of them agree
ing in the same thing. It does not
make any difference in what part of
the country we walk the streets of a
great city there is one lesson I think
which ought to strike every intelligent
Christian man, and that is that the
world is a scene of toil and struggle.
Here and there you find a man In the
street who has his arni3 folded and
who seems to have no particular er
rand, but If you will stand at the cor
ner of the street and watch the coun
tenances of those who go by you v\ll
see in most instances there is an in
timation that they are on an errand
which must be executed at the earliest
moment possible, so you are jostled
hither and thither by business mep. up
this ladder with n hod of bricks, out
of this bank with a roll of bills, dig
ging a cellar, shingiing a roof, binding
a book, mending a watch. Work,with
Its thousand eyes and thousand feet
and thousand arms, goes on singing
its song, “Work, work, work!’’ while
the drums of the mill beat It and the
steam whistles fife it. in t’ae carpeted
aisles of the forest, in the woods from
which the eternal shadow i3 never lift
ed, ou the shore of the sea over whose
iron coast tosses tho tangled loam,
sprinkling tho cracked cliffs w;*a a
baptism of whirlwind and tempo*, is
the best place to study (lod, but in the
rushing, swarming, waving street is
the best place to study man.
Going down to your place of busi
ness and coming home again I charge
you look about; see these signs of pov
erty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of
sin, of bereavement, and as you go
through the streets, and come back
through the streets, gather up In the
arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all
the losses, all the sufferings, all the
bereavements of those whom you pass
and present them In prayer before an
al! sympathetic God. In the great day
of eternity there will be thousands of
persons with whom you in this world
never exchanged one word will rise
up and call you blessed; and there
will be a thousand fingers pointed at
you In heaven, saying: "That is the
man, that is the woman who helped
me when I was hungry and sick and
wandering and lost and heart-broken.
That is the man, that is the woman;"
and the blessing will come down upon
you as Christ shall say: "I was hun
gry and ye fed me, I was naked and ye
clothed me. I was sick and in prison
and ye visited me; inasmuch as ye
did It to these poor waifs of the streets
ye did it unto me."
Wicked KiclmlcenM*.
Again, in all cities I ain impressed
with the fact that all classes and con
ditions of society must commingle. We
sometimes cultivate a wicked exclu
siveness. Intellect despises ignorance.
Refinement will have nothing to do
with boorishness. Gloves hate the sun
burned hand, and the high forehead
despises the fiat head, and the trim
hedgerow will have nothing to do with
the wild copsewood, and Athens hates
Nazareth. This ought not so to be. I
like the democratic principle of the
gospel of Jesus Christ which recog
nizes the fact that we stand before
God on one and the same platform.
Do not take on any airs. Whatever
position you have gained In society,
you are nothing but a man, born of
the same parent, regenerated by the
same spirit,cleansed in the same blood,
to He down in the same dust, to get
up in the same resurrection. It is
high time that we all acknowledged
not only the fatherhood of God, but
the brotherhood of man.
Again, in all cities I am impressed
with the fact that it is a very hard
thing for a man to keep his heart right
and to get to heaven. Infinite temp
tations spring upon us from places of
public concourse. Amid so much afflu
ence, how much temptation to covet
ousness and to be discontented with
our humble lot! Amid so many op
| portunitles for overreaching, what
j temptation to extortion! Amid so
j much display, what temptation to van
| ity! Amid so many saloons of strong
! drink, what allurement to dissipation!
In the maelstroms and hell gates of the
street, how many make quick and
•ternal shipwreck! If a man-of-war
comes back from a battle nnd is towed
into the navy yard, we go down to look
it the splintered spare a.id count the
i bullet holps an<l look with patriotic
j tdmlratian on the flag that floated In
vh tory from the masthead But that
man is more of a curiosity who has
gone through 30 years of the sharp
shooting of business life an l yet sails
I on. victor over the temptations of the
| street. Oh. how many have gone down
under the pressure, leaving n it so
much as a pat h of canvas to tell
when- they perished! They never had
i any |>ea, e Their dishonesties kept
I t»||:ug in their ears. It I had an ax

the heroes of the street. Mighty were
their temptations, mighty was their
deliverance, and mighty tskall be their
triumph.
Hollonnm of Society.
Again, in all these cities I am Im
pressed with the fact that life is full
of pretension and sham. What sub
terfuge, what double dealing, what
two faeedness! Do all people who wish
you good morning really hope for you
a happy day? Do all the people who
shake hands love each other? Arc all
those anxious about your health who
inquire concerning it? Do all want to
sec you who ask you to call? Does
all the world know half as much as It
pretends to know? Is there not many
a wretched stock of goods with a bril
liant store window? Passing up and
down the streets to your business and
your work, are you not impressed with
the fact that society is hollow and that
I there are subterfuges nnd pretensions?
Oh, how many there are who swagger
and strut and how few people who
are natural and walk? While fops
simper and fools snicker and simple
! tons giggle, how few people are nat
ural and laugh! I say these tilings
I not to create in you Incredulity or mis
| anthrophy, nor do I forget there are
thousands o? people a great deal bet
ter than they seem, but 1 do not think |
any man is prepared for the ronflht
of this life until he knows this par
ticular peril. Ehtid comes pretending
to pay his tax to King Egion and,
while he stands in front of the king,
stalls him through with a dagger un
til the haft went in after the blade. I
Judas Iscariot kissed Christ. • • * j
IMshoncNty Never rr*#*j»er«.
I want to tell you that the church
of God is not a shop for receiving
stolen goods and that U you have
taken anything from your fellows yo i
had better return it to the men to
whom it belongs. In a drug store in
Philadelphia a young man was told
that he must sell blacking on the
Lord's day. He said to the head man
of the firm: "I can’t possibly do that.
I nm willing to sell medicines on the
Lord’s day. for I think that is right
and necessary, but I can't sell this pat
ent blacking.” He was discharged
from the place. A Christian man hear
ing of it took him Into his employ,
and he went on from one success to
another until he was known nil over
the land for his faith In God and his
good works as for his worldly success.
When a man has sacrificed any tem
poral. financial good for the sake o.
his spiritual Interests the Lord is on
his side, and one with God Is a ma
jority.
But If you have been much among
the cities you have also noticed that
they are full of temptations of a po
litical character. It Is not so more in
one city than in all the cities. Hun
dreds of men going down in our cities
every year through the pressure of
politics. Once in awhile a man will
come out In a sort of missionary spirit
and say: “I am going Into politics
now to reform them, and I am going
to reform the ballot box, and 1
am going to reform all the people I
come in contact with.” That man in
the fear and love of God goes into
politics with that idea and with the
resolution that he will come out un
contaminated and as good as when he
went in. But generally the case Is
when a man steps into politics many
of the newspapers try *o blacken his
charai'ter and to distort all his past
history, and after a little while has
gone by Instead of considering him
self an honorable citizen he is lost in
contemplation and in admiration of
the fact that he has so long been kept
out of jail! If a man shall go into
politics to reform politics and with the
right spirit, he will come out with the
right spirit and unhurt. That was
Theodore Frelinhuysen of New Jer
sey. That was George Briggs of
Massachusetts. That was Judge Mc
Lean of Ohio.
Then look around and see the ai- i
lurements to dissipated life. Bad J
books, unknown to father and mother, |
vile as the reptiles of Egypt, crawling
into some of the best families of the
community; and boys read them
while the teacher is looking th"
other way, or at recess, or oa.
the corner of the street when the j
groups are gathered. These hooks are I
read late at night. Satan finds them a J
smooth plank on which he can slide
down into perdition some of your sons j
and daughters. Reading bad books
one never gets over it. The books may |
be burned, but there is not enough
jxiwt r iu all the apothecary s prepara
tions to wash out the stum from th
soul. Fathers' bands, mothers' hauls,
sisters’ hands will not wash It out;
none but the hand of the laud can
wash It cut. • • •

LESSON IX. AUGUST 2G—JOHN
lO:1-16.
Golden Text—The Good Shepherd Glvetli
111* Life for the Sheep—.John IO: 11
deeui the Uoo<l Shepherd and Ills
Cluck.
1. “Verily, verily, I say unto you. He
that entereth not by the door Into tho
sheepfoltl, hut cllmbeth up some other
way, the game Is a thief and a robber."
These were those who claimed to be the
Messiah, but without the authorization of
God, without the works and character of
the true Messiah, hut with some stilish
purpose of aggrandisement at the expense
of the cheep they ought to feed. They
robbed Instead of feeding. The people
could easily see the application.
2. "Ho that entereth In by the door,"
The door represents the right of way of
entering upon the duties of a shepherd,
ai d fulfilling the necessary conditions of
a good shepherd. Jesus, ar the good shep
herd, canto as the Messiah foretold by
God In the prophets; his churacter was
that of a divinely appointed shepherd; his
purposes, Ills teat 111 rigs, his works, his
miracles, hts methods of work, all were
those which must belong to it good shep
herd of God's | eople. The door keeps out
the wrong ones, and admits those who
have ,i right to enter.
3. "To him the porter openeth." The
porter semis to be "part of the Incidental
imagery of the parable.” The way is
opened for thi- true shepherd. In the ease
cf Jesus, the door was opened by the
prophets who prepared the way, by the
divine preparation of the world for his
coming, by tho divine power working In
him, by the Holy Hpirlt at h!s baptism,
and all through Ills ministry. "And he
callelh Ids own sim p (who are mingled
with other (locks in the fold) by name.
"And In- Icadeth them out,” To pasture,
showing th'm w here are the Im st feeding
places, and "tho waters of rest atul re
freshment."
4. "I'uttetli forth." Tliin stronger ox
presslon denotes tin? solicitudo of the
shepherd to see that every one of his
sheep is In I he (lock he leads. "He goetli
before them." The Oriental shepherd
never drives his flock as we do. but goes
before them. “And the sheep follow him.'
This Is one test that they are Ids sheep;
they so trust their shepherd that they
follow wherever he leads, know that In
will lead them aright, although they
themselves cannot see the green pastures
or still waters, or know which Is the way
to them. "They know his voice,” There
arc characteristics to each one's voice by
which he can be recognized.
5. “And a stranger will they not fol
low." If a stranger call they stop short,
lift up their heads In alarm, and If It is
repeated they turn nml flee, liecnust they
know not the voice of a stranger. This
Is not the fanciful costume of a parable;
It Is simple fad. I have made tills experi
ment repeatedly.—VV. M. Thompson. For
examples s-e Suggestive Illustrations ort
John. "For they know not the voice."
The true disciples recognize a different
spirit and tone and purpose and so will
not follow.
H. "This parable." Not the word usu
ally translated "parable" In the other
Gospels, but rather a metaphor, an alle
gory. "They understood not." They did
not sec the point They did not realize
how It applied to them.
7. “Then said Jesus.” Since they did
not understand his Illustration, Jesus pro
ceeds to Interpret and apply It. The
scene Is the same as before. "1 am the
door of the sheep." Through him the
sheep enter the fold and the flock, to re
ceive the shelter, the care, the food which
are found there, and the holy character
which (its them for heaven,
a. "Uy me If any man enter In." To the
fold, to the kingdom of God, the state of
reconctlllation and salvation offered by
the Messiah. "He shall be saved." Shall
be safe from the robbers and wolves thut
seek to destroy, safe from false teachers.
“And shall go In and out.” Once belong
ing to the flock and the fold, he can go
in and out under the care of the shepherd
and everywhere be safe, and hnve free
dom of activity fur all his powers. "And
find pasture." t'ompare the green fields
and still waters of the 23d Psalm, and
the bread of life In Lesson II. of this
quarter. All the best fruits of earth and
of heaven are for the sustenance of the
disciple of Christ. There is something to
satisfy every want and longing of the
soul.
10. “I am come that they might hnve
life . . . abundantly." Jesus does for
his disciples what the shepherd cannot do
tor his sheep. He gives life, eternal life,
to them. He feeds and Inspires this life
more and more. It Is not mere living, a
sickly existence, hut abundant life, the
freshness and overflowing vitality of
youth, when mgre living Is a joy, when
activity Is a delight, like the song of u
I'UU UI III' *U it VIIIMJ.
"All that overcame before- me." Not
all teachers or prophets, but all who came
professing to be the Messiah. "The
thieves and robbers. The teachers op
posed to Christ were robbing the people
of salvation, of true life, of the Messiah,
and ail the blessings he brings, of con
tinued national existence. "Hut the sheep
did not hear th# m ' The true people of
God did not go after these fals« M* -Minim,
nor oh v the false teachings of the Phari
sees "The thief cornetii not, but for to
steal, and to kill, are! t * destroy." Such
were the Pbarisy , vho were robbing and
destroying both ln»d> and soul

V “ Dear Mbs. I’inkiiav:—
I have taken Lydia K. l'inkham's Vege
table Compound ns advised and now
send you ft letter for publication. For
several years I was in such wretched
health that life was almost a burden.
I could hardly walk across the floor,
was so feeble. Several of our best
physicians attended me, but failed to
help. I concluded to write to you for
advice. In a few days I received such
a kind, motherly letter. 1 followed your \
instructions and arn my ‘old self’
again. Was greatly benefited before I
had used one bottle. May God bless
you for what you are doing for suffer
ing women."—Mbs. Ci.aha Gates,
