THE NORTHWESTERN. BENHCI10TKR * OUISON, Edunil Pub* LOUP CITY, • - NEB. i 1 j 1 rr-'IL-JJ=3» Our ostrich farms are profitable. Birds are worth 1100 apiece and a good specimen yields about |25 worth of feathers at a plucking. Fifteen thousand two hundred and sixty feet Is the height of the snow line on the equator. It is about 5,000 feet Id the latitude of London. To the kid glove trade of the world France is the undisputed center, and the beautiful city of Grenoble, 400 miles south of gay Paris, is the veritable cradle of this most interesting indus try. A road is being built in the high Alp3 which passes the Great St. Ber hard and also the hospice of that name. This great engineering feat will be fin ished and opened to traffic in July of next year. The total annual production of tim ber and firewood of the German for ests Is estimated at 3S.000.000 tons and this is supplemented by an Import of 4.600.000 tons. The material progress of the country would not be possible had it not the large home production to fall back upon. The roof garden at the Merritt building Eighth avenue and Nine teenth street. New York, has been crowded every night since it was opened. July 1. The admittance Is free and religious meetings, with much music, are held every evening Although the garden holds 1.500. the crowds were so great last week that hundreds had to be turned away. The Foreign Tract society has trans lated Buny&n s •‘Pilgrim's Progress * into no less than ninety-five different language* and dialects. Some of these, a* might have been anticipated, are of a jaw-nreaking character. So much so. indeed, have the compositors of the Oxford University Press found the Eskimo language to be that they have demanded a higher rate of payment in regard to it. A comparative statement concerning the importation of pork, bacon, and lard Into the Philippines during the calendar year 1900, as compared with the calendar year 1899, has been pre pared in the division of insular affairs of the war department. The total im portation of these commodities for 1900 was valued at 3233,523, as against $144,669 for 1899, showing an increase of 61 per cent. That concrete is to take the place of brick and stone as a building material is the hopeful belief of Mr. Edison, who has discovered a cheap method of making Portland cement. Before many years, he says, a contractor will just take his wooden form—one of twenty or thirty standard shapes—and go out and “pour a house” which will cost very little and will be fireproof. Hail the happy day! Such a structure should be almost as imperishable as the bill for the rent. The Oriental maxim that nobody should run if he can get along by walk ing, or stand if sitting will answer, or alt if it is possible to lie down, finds many adherents in days of extreme beat. Telephone offices are unusually busy because so many people resort to them to save making a trip, and street cars are filled with those who would otherwise walk. In short, all easy ways of doing things are at a premium, with the result that those persons who are employed in the occupations that sa,ve physical effort on the part of tha public are worked harder than ever. Public attention has been centered of late upon the Chinese in their own country; but the position of Chinese in the United States now demands con sideration. The act of 1882 suspended the Immigration of Chinese laborers for ten years, and the act of 1892 continued the exclusion for ten years more. This part of the law will expire by limita tion next year. A bill will be Introduced in the next Congress to extend Its pro visions for another period of twenty years. On the other hand, an effort will be made to repeal the act. Thus the whole question of the treatment of Chinese immigration will be reopened. in the smaller places In England horses have to be borrowed for the fire engines. Often thirty to fifty min utes are wasted in getting horses, which, when an alarm of fire was given, were at work at their dally duty. A considerable amount of time is also lost in finding the proper har ness for them. The horsing of steam fire engines in country districts is a very difficult problem. There is hardly a town of any size In the Unltea States which does not have one or more fire engines, and they can be got under way with a delay of from thirty sec onds to a minute and a half, while in the larger cities even thirty seconds would be considered slow work. One of the most notable exemplars of peculiar dietary custom is an American army officer of good physique, who, in several years of exacting service at an out-of-the-way western post, subsisted entirely on “canned goods.” It was his custom to open cans at haphazard, a single can for each meal; whether the contents were fish, fowl, or flesh, vege tables, or fruit he ate that nothing more, and he lives to tell th$ tale. But fee was always active, physiwilly and mentally, except when asleep, and hs breathed fresh air. _ . TALMAGE'S SERMON. RELIGION THE GREAT REFRESHMENT OF OUR TIMES. When All the Flocks Are "tinthereil To gether”— Why Some Are Kept Hack— Trust in (tod's Providence — Christ's Kternal Fountains To the (Jospcl Well. [Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch, N. Y.J Washington, Aug. 11. In this dis course Dr. Talmage represents religion as a great refreshment and invites all the world to come and receive it; text, Genesis xxix, 8, “We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.’’ A scene in Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A well of water of great value In that region. The fields around about it white with three flocks of sheep lying down waiting for the wa tering. I hear their bleating coming on the bright air and the laughter of young men and maidens indulging in rustic repartee. 1 look off, and I see other flocks of sheep coming. Mean while Jacob, a stranger, on the inter esting errand of looking for a wife, conies to the well. A beautiful shep herdess comes to the same well. I see her approaching, followed by her father s flock of sheep. It was a mem orable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. The Bible account of It is. “Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept.” It has always been a mystery to me what he found to cry about! But before that scene occurred Jacob accosts the shepherds and asks them why they postpone the slaking of the thirst of these sheep and why they did not immediately proceed to water them. The shep herds reply to the effect: “We are ail good neighbors, and as a matter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Besides that, this stone on the well's mouth is somewhat heavy, and several of us take hold of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and the troughs are filled and the sheep are satisfied. We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.” ( ouiinsr to th«* (io*p<*l Well. If a herd of swine come to a well, j they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back ! from the water, but when a flock of sheep com^, though a hundred of them shall be disappointed, they only express it by sad bleating, they come together peaceably. We want a great multitude to come around the gospel well. I know there are those who do not like a coward; they think a crowd is vulgar. If they are oppressed for i room in church, it makes them posi tively impatient and belligerent. We have had people permanently leave church because so many other people come to it. Not so did these oriental shepherds. They waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more flocks that came the better they liked it. And so we ought to he anxious that all the people should come. Go out into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. Go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without the gospel of Jesus. Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there is in Christ. Go to the blind and tell them of the touch that gives eternal illumination. Go'to the lame and tell them of the joy that will make the lame man leap like a hart. Gather all the sheep off all the mountains. None so torn of the dogs, none so sick, none so worried, none so dying, as to be omitted. Why not gather a great flock? All this city in a flock, all New York in a flock, all London in a flock, all the world in a flock. This well of the gospel is deep enough to put out the burning thirst of the 1.000.000,000 of the race. Do not let the church by a spirit of ex clusiveness keep the world out. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter all the invitations. “Whosoever will, let him come." Come, white and black. Come, red men of the forest. Come, Laplander, out of the snow. Come, Patagonian, out of the south. Come in furs. Come pant ing under palm leaves. Come one. Come all. Come now. As at this well of Mesopotamia Jacob and Rachel were betrothed, so this morning at this well of salvation Christ, our Shep herd, will meet you coming up with your long flocks of cares and anxieties, and he will stretch out his hand in pledge of his affection whiie all heaven will cry out: "Behold, the bride groom cometh! Go ye out to meet him.” Wily Home Are Kept Bark. Here is another man who is kept back from this water of life by the stone of an obdurate heart which lies over the mouth of the well. You have no more feeling upon this subject than if God had yet to do you the flist kindness or you had to do God the first wrong. Seated on his lap all these years, his everlasting arms shel tering you, where is your gratitude? Where is your morning and evening prayer? Where are your consecrated lives? I say to you, as Daniel said to Belshazzar, “The God in whose hand thy breath is, and all thy way, thou hast not glorified.” If you treated any body as badly as you have treated God, you would hnve made 500 apologies; yea, your whole life would have been an apology. Three times a day you have been seated at God's table. Spring, summer, autumn and winter he has appropriately appareled you. Your health from him, your compan ion from him, your children from him, your home from him, all the bright ; surroundings of your life from him. ! Oh. man, what dost thou with that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude toward the God that made you. and the Christ who came to redeem you, and the Holy Ghost who has all these years been im portuning you? If you could sit down five minutes under the tree of a Sav ior's martyrdom and feel his lifeblood trickling on your forehead and cheek and hands, methinks you would get some appreciation of what you owe to a crucified Jesus. Heart of Stone, relent, relent, Touched by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent. Covered with a gore of blood. Sinful soul, what hast thou done? Crucified the Eternal Son! Jacob, with a good deal of tug and push, took the stone from the well's mouth so that the flocks might be watered. And 1 would that this day my word, blessed of God, might re move the hindrances to your getting up to the gospel well. Yea. I take it for granted that the work is done, and now. like oriental shepherds, I proceed to water- the sheep. Come, all ye thirsty! You have an undefined long ing in your soul. You tried money making: that did not satisfy you. You tried office under government; that did not satisfy you. You are as much discontented with this life as the cele brated French author who felt that he could not any longer endure the mis fortunes of the world and who said: “At 4 o'clock this afternoon I shall put an end to my own existence. Meanwhile I must toil on up to that time for the sustenance of my family.” And he wrote on his book until the clock struck 4. when he folded up his manuscript and. by his own hand, con cluded his earthly life. Christ** Fternal Fountain*. There are men who are perfectly discontented. Unhappy in the past, unhappy today, to be unhappy forever unless you come to this gospel well. This satisfies the soul with a high, deep, all absorbing and eternal satis faction. It comes, and it offers the most unfortunate man so much of this world as is best for him and throws all heaven into the bargain. The wealth of Croesus and of all the Roths childs is only a poor, miserable shilling compared w-ith the eternal fortunes that Christ offers you today. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on the scales, while on the other side the scales were placed gold and silver and gems—in deed, enough were placed there to bal ance the king. Then, at the close of the weighing, all those treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ today steps on one side the scales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the universe, and he says, “All are yours; all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all eternity—all are yours.” We do not appreciate the promises of the gospel. When an aged clergyman was dying —a man very eminent in the church —a young theological student stood by his side, and the aged man looked up and said to him, "Can't you give me some comfort In my dying hour?” “No,” said the young man: “I can't talk to you on this subject. You know all about it and Lave known it so long.” “Well," said the dying man. “just recite to me some promises.” Tne young man thought a moment, and he came to this promise: “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin,” and the old man clapped his hands and in his dying moment said, “That’s just the promise I have been waiting for—'The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.' " Oh, the warmth, the grandeur, the mag nificence of the promise! I lie Cry for Comfort. If I could gather all the griefs of all sorts from these crowded streets and could put them in one scroll, neither man nor angel could endure the recita tion. Well, what do you want? Would you like to have your property back again? "No,” you say as a Christian man; "I was becoming arrogant, and I think that is why the Ixjrd took it away. I don’t want to have my prop erty back.” Well, would you have your departed friends back again? “No,” you say; “I couldn't take the responsibility of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears. I couldn’t do it.” Well, then, what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: "Comfort. Clive us comfort!” For that reason 1 have rolled away the stone from the well’s mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, pursued of the wolves, come to the fountain where the Lord’s sick and bereft ones have come. “Ah,” says some one, "you are not old enough to understand my sorrows. You have not been in the world as long as I have, and you can't talk to me about my misfortunes in the time of old age.” Well, I may not have lived as long as you, but I have been a great deal among old people, and I know how they feel about their failing health and about their departed friends and about the loneliness that sometimes strikes through their souls. After two persons have lived togeth er for 4o or 50 years and one is taken away, what desolation! I shall not forget the cry of Dr. De Witt of New York when he stood by the open grave j of his beloved wife and after the obse fluies had ended he looked down into | the open place and said: "Farewell, my honored, faithful and beloved wife, j The bond that bound us is severed, j Thou art in glory, and I am here on earth. We shall meet again. Fare well, farewell!” To lean on a prop for 50 years and then have it break under you!! There were only two years’ difference be tween the death of my father and mother. After my mother’s decease my father used to go around as though looking for something. He would often get un from one room without any seeming reason and go to another room, and then he would take his cane and start out, and some one would say, "Father, where are you going?" and he would answer. “I don't know exactly where I am going.” Always looking for something! Though he was a tender hearted man I never saw him cry but once,'and that was at the burial of my mother. After 60 years’ living together it was haid to part. And there are aged people to-day who are feeling just such a pang as that. I want to tell them there is perfect enchantment in the promises of this gospel, and I come to them and ofTer them my arm. or I take their arm and I bring them to this gospel well. Sit down, father or mother, sit down. See if there is any thing at the well for you. Come. David, the psalmist, have you anything en couraging to offer them? "Yes," says the psalmist; "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing, to show that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged peo ple? “Yes." says Isaiah; "down to old age I am with thee, and to hoary hafrs will I carry thee.” Well, if the Lord is going to carry you. you ought not to worry much about your ailing eyesight and falling limbs. Tnmt In God'* Providence*. You get a little worried for fear that some time you will come to want, do you? Your children and grandchildren sometimes speak a little sharp to you because of your ailments. The Lord will not speak sharp. Do you think you will come to want? What do you think the I>ord is? Are his granaries empty? Will he feed the raven and the rabbit and the lion in the desert and forget you? Why, naturalists tell us that the porpoise will not forsake its wounded and sick mate. And do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth has not as much sympathy as the fish of the sea? But you say, “'I am so near worn out. and I am of no use to God any more.” I think the Lord knows whether you are of any more use or not If you were of no more use, he would have taken you before this. Do you think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of you 70 or 80 years? He thinks more of you to-day than he ever did because you think more of him. May the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Paul the aged be your God forever! But I gather all the promises to day in a group, and I ask the shepherds to drive their flocks of iambs and sheep up to the sparkling supply. “Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth.” “Though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion." “Many are the af flictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” I am de termined that no one shall go out of thus house uncomforted. Yonder is a timid and shrinking soul who seems to hide away from the consolations I am uttering as a child with a sore hand hides away from the physician lest he touch the wound too roughly, and the mother has to go and compel the little patient to come out and see the phy sician. So I come to your timid and shrinking soul to-day and compel you to come out in the presence of the Di vine Physician. He will not hurt you. He has been healing wounds for many years, and he will give you gentle and omnipotent medicament. But people when they have trouble go any where rather than to God. De Quincey took opium to get rid of his troubles. Charles Lamb took to punch. Theodore Hook took to something stronger. Edwin Forrest took to the atrical dissipation. And men have run all around the earth, hoping in the quick transit to get away from their misfortunes. It has been a dead fail ure. There is only qne well that can slake the thirst of an afflicted spirit, and that is the deep and inexhaustible well of the gospel. Gathering Clove*. Cloves are now cultivated in many of the tropical regions of the earth. A clove-tree begins to bear at the age of ten years and continues until it reaches the age of seventy-five years. There are two crops a year, one in June and one in December. The tree is an ever green and grows from forty to fifty feet high, with large oblong leaves, and crimson flowers at the end of small branches in clusters of from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same botanical order as the guava. The cloves, which are the undeveloped buds, are at first white, then light green, and at the time of gathering bright red. Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees at harvesting time, and the branches are beaten gently with bam bo sticks until the cloves drop. They are dried In the sun, being tossed about daily until they attain the rich dark color which proclaims them ready for shipment. In this country and in Eng land they are used almost wholly as a condiment, but in France they are used largely in the manufacture of certain liquors; and to some degree they are employed in medicine for their tonic properties. Petroleum Kill* Run Jose Reule. The farmer has found petroleum his best friend in dealing with other pests than the mosquito. It is the only thing that will kill the tree scales, including the famous San Joe scale, and it is the sovereign remedy for a line of bac terial ills in vegetation. Not merely the invisible parasites are combated with oil, but the visible insectsjis well. Kerosene emulsion goes far to com pensate for the loss of insectivorous birds out of doors, and is absolutely indispensable in dealing with the pests ia poultry houses and stables. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON VIII. AUG. 25; GENESIS 22: 1-14. Golden Text — Ity Faith Abraham, When He Wax Tried, Ottered lTp Isaac—Het>. 11: 17—Abraham nod Isaac — llu Supreme Tret of Faith. Historical Setting. — Time. — Probably about B. C. 1871. Twenty-six years after our last lesson. The exact time Is un certain. It depends on the age of Isaac, who was born B. C. 1896. He was cer tainly a young man at this time. If he was twenty-five, as Josephus says, then the date of the present lesson would be 1871. Place.—Abraham's home was now Beersheba instead of Hebron, as In our last lesson. It was a town on the south ern border of Palestine, forty-five miles south of Jerusalem. I. The Supreme Test of Abraham's Faith and Obedience.—Vs. 1, 2. "The sacrifice of Isaac was the supreme act of Abraham's life. The faith which had been schooled by so singular an experi ence and by so many minor trials was here perfected and exhibited us perfect. The strength which he had been slowly gathering during a long and trying llln was here required and used. This Is the act which shines like a star out of those dark ages, and has served for many storm-tossed souls over whom God's bil lows have gone, as u mark by which they could still shape their course when all else was dark." II. Abraham Endures the Test. Like Gold Tried in the Fire.—Vs. 3-14. "3. And Abraham rose up early." An early start on a journey Is all-important in the East Thus would the traveler avoid the heat of the day In the open sun.—'Whedon. "Saddled," girdled, to carry the wood "Clave the wood." He carried the wood with him to have that which was dry and would burn. ”4. On the third day." The usual time it would take them to go tile forty five miles to Jerusalem. "Saw the place afar off." The hill Moriuh can be seen about three miles by a traveler from Ueer sheba.—Stanley. "5. And Abraham said unto his young men. Abide ye here." He would be alone in his agony, and In his communion with God. Isaac, too. had a spiritual conflict and victory, and all would be best done with only father and son present, and no onlookers. It was for the same rea son as Christ's command to enter into thy closet, and to pray In secret to the Father who seeth' in secret, but will re ward openly (Mutt. 6: tsj. "tl. The wood . . . and laid it upon Isaac." As the younger and stronger, and as his part of the load, while -Abraham carried the brazier of fire. "And he took the fire In his hand." That is. carrying In Ills hand the vessel containing the coals of lire. Caravans carry with them the Iron grating for the fire; and some •imes. owing to the difficulty experienced in obtaining a light, the charcoal fire which has been used the previous night is carried, suspended by a chain and kept burning.—Biblical . Treasury. Matches were not then Invented, and tire was dif ficult to kindle. "7. My father . . . where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Only the scene.-, of Gethsemane and Calvary surpass this. —Jacobus. "8. My son, God will provide himself a lamb." In v. 14 the expression is "Je hovah will provide," and the place is named "Jehovah-jireh." "9. And bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar." This must have re. quin d a faith anil obedience in Isaac tha. made him the worthy successor of his father as the heir of all the promises. "10. And Abraham . . . took the knife." Abraham, so far as his heart and his In tent are concerned, has shown the deed virtually done. Haul shows that it was so regarded by God (Heb. 11: 17). "By faith Abral am, when be was tried, offered up Isaac.” It is not the act. so much as the will and the purpose of heart, which God regards. He will take tne will for the deed, but never the deed for the will.— Jacobus. 11. I he angel of the Lord (Jehovah) called unto him out of heaven." A voice too familiar to Abraham not to be at once recognized as that of God himself. —Bush. "12. Bay not thine hand upon the lad." Abraham had now gone as far as God intended. The event shows that he never intended Abraham to sacrifice his son, but only to have the mind and will that would give his b‘-st to God. anti would obey God to the utmost. “Now I know that thou fearest God." Abraham had perfectly borne the test. The moral pur pose of the trial was accomplished, and there was no need of going any further. The shortest and surest way out of trials ■ is perfect submission to God's will. "13. And behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns.” Here occurs the wonderful substitution in which God set forth as in a figure the plan of the Mosaic economy for the of fering of animal victims instead of hu man sacrifices. III. The Supreme Blessing.—Not so much a reward, as a result made possible by this act of faith, the promises to Abraham were renewed and emphasized, it would not be well for a bad man, or a weak man. or a man of little faith, to have his descendants multiplied as the stars of heaven and as the sand upon the sec.shore. IV. Practical Lessons and Illustrations. —I. Everything must be tested before It Is saf? to put It to use—the ship, the cannon, the engine, the bridge. And there must be a stronger test for a larger use. The whole of life Is a testing and an education by testing. 2. Most of the time the trial Is through little things, every-day thoughts and ex periences. These are often a severer trial than most great things. 3. Then a few times in life come great and severe trials, like college or school examinations, as distinct from the daily recltr.tlons. 4. The trials of life are often a great mystery to the one who suffers the trials. “If God is so rich, why does he let us be so poor? If God Is strong and so good, why does he let us have so much pain unti sorrow?" He gives us for answer: “To prove thee, to know what wus In thine heart, whether thou wouldeat keep his commandments, or no" (I)eut. X: 2). 5. There is a double purpose in all these trials. Life is both a probation and an education: a probation through the pro cess of education, and an education through the probation. Handy Coin of tha Realm. On all steamers American money Is accepted, but every passenger should have enough of the coin of the coun try to which the steamship line be longs to meet all hills outside of mere passage money, as these bills are made out in francs, marks, or shillings, ac cording to the official medium of the line. The convenience also or having some of the current coin of the country to be first visited is appreciated in the ability to board a train on landing with out the delay of hank exchange.
