THE NORTHWESTERN BEMKCIIOTRII A GIBSON. KcU and 1’ub*. NEB. LOUP CITY, Football Is nothing more than guer rilla warfare, but it appears to be ot the South African brand. Just as the football season ends Con gress convenes, to the delight of those who love the life strenuous. The football teams ought to be thankful the season is over, and that the fatalities have been so few. An American artist is to paint the coronation scenes for King Edward. At last the old masters are coming our w-ay. Another of the Vanderbilt boys is about to marry an heiress. Thrift seems to run all the way through that family. A Baltimore company has been or ganized to make whisky from water melons. Yot we are trying to uplift the colored race! France’s cabinet has just passed an other crisis. It has to have a crisis every few minutes in order to whet its appetite for office. Emperor William's American cook stove will be set up and ready for business by Christmas time. The em peror is just beginning to live. Some of the escaped convicts from Leavenworth who have reached the In dian Territory are being held up for the valuable horses they stole in Kan sas. A New York man claims that the an Ifels taught him how to use a type writer. It would be interesting to in spect his celestial spelling uud punc tuation. One-seventh of the people of this country are engaged in the railroad business. The others are busy wonder ing how to get free transportation in the future. Farmers living along the line of the proposed Parls-Vienna automobile race are already safeguarding against flying wheels, linchpins and fragments of humanity. The Supreme Court decision will not surprise Agulnaldo, who has had a dis tinct suspicion that the Philippines be longed to America ever since he met Gen. Funston. The Georgia people have a great deal of respect for the Union. They used to send watermelons to Mr. Cleveland, and are keeping Mr. Roosevelt supplied with persimmons. The census report showing a total capital of 127,123.364 Invested in the 159 salt establishments reported can be taken without a grain of the product under consideration. The theory that disease develops genius should be Investigated by the book publishers. It seems to explain the responsibility for some of those historical romauces. The daughters of cabinet officers when their approaching marriages are announced get rather more promi nence before the public than do their distinguished papas. It has been judicially decided that it Is against the law to open a theater in New Jersey on Sunday. And yet you can get a charter in New Jersey to do almost anything.—Atlauta Constitu tion. A Brown university professor has succeeded in extracting light from beefsteak. Average mankind will fall down and worship him if he will show how to extract credit beefsteak from the butcher. Among one day's records of suicides we find that one man took his life be cause be shot another; one dropped out because he had too much luxury, and another because he was poor. Evident ly the cause for suicide is of small mo ment. Wo are told that 3,000 Americans at tended the opeuing of the bull fight season in Mexico. Unfortunately, this prevents us saying a few warm things which we usually keep on tap for such cruel exhibitions. Consistency forces silence. Somehow, the discussion as to the pffect of a college education on a young woman's social development will not down. Here is the deau of Barnard suggesting that between the second and third years of the college course the girl student should be sent home for a little round of social experience. The chances are that this suggestion will meet the views of the girl stu dents. Astronomers to the contrary not withstanding, Chicago saw something recently and she knows she saw It. If she were a little more superstitious, she would he disposed to regard it as some awful portent, presaging, for in stance, a serious drop in the price of pork or lard. There is always room at the top when you climb with a knife in your teeth; sometimes when you climb with a flower in your button-hole; but never when you stop to apologize for tread lng on the other fellow's knuckles. TALMAGE’S SERMON “WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH.’’ Text from the Second Chapter of Joel —The World Constantly Advancing In the Right Direction—The Triumph of Christianity Over Infidelity. (Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch. N. T.) Washington, Dec. 8.—In this dis course Dr. Taimage recites some great events and shows that the world is ad vancing in the right direction; text, Joel ii., 30, "I will show wonders In the heavens and in the earth.” There were more far-reaching events crowded into the nineteenth century than into any other, and the last 20 years eclipse any preceding 20. We read in the dally newspapers of events announced in one paragraph and with out any special emphasis—events which a Herodotus, a Josephus, a Xen ophon, a Gibbon would have taken whole chapters or whole volumes to elaborate. Looking out upon our time we must cry out, in the words of the text, "Wonders in the heavens and in the earth.” I propose to show you that the time in which we live is wonderful for dis aster and wonderful for blessing, for there must be lights and shades in this picture as in all others. Need I argue hat our time Is wonderful for disas ter? Our world has had a rough time since by the hand of God it was bowled out into space. It is an epileptic earth —convulsion after convulsion; frost pounding it with sledge hammer of Ice berg and fires melting It with furnaces seven times heated. It Is a wonder to me it has lasted so long. Meteors shooting by on this side and grazing it and meteors shooting by on the other side and grazing it. none of them slow ing up for safety. Whole fleets and navies and argosies and flotillas of worlds sweeping all about us. Our earth like a fishing smack off the banks of Newfoundland, while the Ma jestic and the St. Paul and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse rush by. Besides that, our world has by sin been dam aged in its internal machinery, and ever and anon the furnaces have burst, and the walking beams of the moun tains have broken, and the islands have shipped a sea, and the gTeat bulk of the world has been jarred with acci dents that ever and anon threatened immediate demolition. But it seems to us as if the last hun dred years were especially character ized by disaster—volcanic, oceanic, epidemic. Seven thousand earthquakes In two centuries recorded in the cata logue of the British association! Tra jan, the emperor, goes to ancient Anti och and amid the splendors of his re ception is met by an earthquake that nearly destroys the emperor’s life. Lis bon, fair and beautiful, at 1 o'clock on the 1st of November, 1775, In six min utes fiO.OOO have perished, Europe and America feeling the throb—1,500 chim neys in Boston partly or fully de stroyed! But the disasters of other times have had their counterpart in later times. In 1812 Caracas was caught in the grip of an earthquake, in 1882 in Chile 100,000 square miles of land by volcanic force upheaved to four and seven feet of per manent elevation, in 1854 Japan felt the geological agony; Naples shaken in 1857, Mexico in 1858; Mendoza, the capital of the Argentine Republic, in 1861; Manila terrorized in 1863; the Hawaiian Islands by such force up lifted and let down in 1871; Nevada shaken in 1871, Antioch in 1872, Cali fornia in 1872, San Salvador in 1873, while in 1S83 what subterranean ex citement ! Ischia, an island of the , Mediterranean, a beautiful Italian wat- I ering place, vineyard clad, surrounded by all natural charm and historical reminiscence; yonder Capri, the sum mer resort of the Roman emperors; yonder Naples, the paradise of art— this beautiful island suddenly toppled into the trough of the earth, 8,000 mer rymakers perishing, and some of them , so far down beneath the reach of hu man obsequies that it may be said of many of them, as it was said of Moses, "The Lord buried him." Italy, all Eu rope weeping, all Christendom weep ing, whore there were hearts to sym pathize and Christians to pray. But while the nations were measuring that magnitude of disaster, measuring it not with golden rod like that with which the angel measured heaven, but with the black rule of death, Java of the In dian archipelago, the most fertile is land of all the earth, is caught in the grip of the earthquake, and mountain after mountain goes down and city after city until that island, which pro duces the best beverage of all the world, produced the ghastliest catas trophe. One hundred thousand people dying, dead! But look at the disasters cyclonic. Cyclone in Kansas, cyclone in Missouri, cyclone in Wisconsin, cyclone in Illi nois, cyclone in Iowa! Satan, prince of , the power of the air, never made such cyclonic disturbances as he has in our day. And am 1 not right in saying that one of the characteristics of the time in which we live is disaster cy clonic? But look at the disasters oceanic! Shall I call the roll of the dead ship ping? It is as long as the white scroll of tiie Atlantic surf at Cape Hatteras breakers. If the oceanic cables could report all the scattered life and all the bleached bones that they rub against in the ocean, what a message of pathos and tragedy for both beaches! In one storm eighty fishermen perished off the coast of Newfoundland and whole fleets of them off the coast of England. God help the poor fellows at sea and give high seats in heaven to the Grace Dar lings and the Ida Lewises and the life boat men hovering around Goodwin sands anil the Skerries! The sea, own ing thrpe-fonrths of the earth, proposes to capture the other fourth and is bom barding the land all around the earth. The moving of the hotels at Brighton Beach backward 100 yards from where they once stood a type of what is go ing on all around the world and on every coast. The Dead sea rolls today where ancient cities stood. Pillars ol temples that stood on hills geologists now find three-quarters under the water or altogether submerged. The sea, having wrecked so many mer chantmen and flotillas, wants to wreck the continents, and hence disasters oceanic. Alas for Galveston and other cities almost drowned! But now 1 turn the leaf in my sub ject, and I plant the white lilies and tue palm tree amid the night shades and the myrtle. This age no more characterized by wonders of disaster than by wonders of blessing—blessing of longevity; the average of human life rapidly increasing. The average of hu man life practically greater now than when Noah lived, with his 950 years, and Methusaleh lived his 969 years. Blessings of intelligence! If the phil osophers of a hundred years ago were called up to recite in a class with our boys and girls, those old philosophers would be sent down to the foot of the class because they failed to answer the questions! Free libraries in all the important towns and circles of the land. Historical alcoves and poetical shelves and magazine tables for all who desire to walk througn them or sit down at them. Blessings of quick information! Newspapers falling all around us thick as leaves in a September equinoctial. We see the whole world twice a day— through the newspaper at the break fast table and through the newspaper at the tea table. Blessings of gospel proclamation! While infidelity is dwindling the | wheel of Christianity is making about a thousand revolutions in a minute. A few years ago in six weeks more than 2,000,000 copies of the New Testament purchased—not given away, but pur chased—because the world will have it. The most popular book today is the Bible, and the mightiest institution is the church, and the greatest name among the nations and more honored than any is the name of Jesus. Wonders of self-sacrifice! All for Christ! Where is there any other be ing that will rally such enthusiasm? Millions of good men and women, but mor* women than men, to whom Ch.’l3t is everything. Christ first and Christ last and Christ forever. Why, this age is not so characterized by invention and scientific exploration as it is by gospel proclamation. You can get no idea of it unless you can ring all the church bells in one chime and sound all the organs in one diapa son and gather all the congregations of Christendom in one ‘‘Gloria In Excel sis.” Mighty camp meetings! Mighty Ocean Groves! Mighty Chautauquas! Mighty conventions of Christian work ers! Mighty general assemblies of the Presbyterian church! Mighty confer ences of the Methodist church! Mighty associations of the Baptist church! Mighty conventions of the Epis copal church! There may be many years of hard work yet before the con summation. but the signs are to me so encouraging that I would not be unbe lieving if I saw the wing of the apoca lyptic angel spread for its last tri umphal flight in this day's sunset or if tomorrow morning the ocean cables should thrill us wTith the news that Christ the Lord had alighted on Mount Olivet to proclaim universal dominion. All dead churches, wake up! Throw back the shutters of stiff ecclesiasti eism and let the light of the spring morning come in! Morning for the land! Morning for the sea! Morning of light and love and peace! Morning of a day in which there shall be no chains to break, no sorrows to as suage, no despotism to shatter, no woes to compassionate. These things I say because I want you to be alert. I want you to be watching all these wonders unrolling from the heavens and the earth. God has classified them, whether calamitous or pleasing. The divine purposes are harnessed in traces that cannoc break and in girths that cannot slip and in buckles that cannot loosen and are driven by reins they must answer. So I rejoice day by day. Work for all to do, and we may turn the crank of the Christian machinery this way or that, for we are free agents, but there is the tracks laid so long ago no one remembers it—laid by the hand of the Almighty God in sockets that no ter restrial or Satanic pressure can ever affect. And along the track the car of the world’s redemption will roll and roll to the Grand Central depot of the millennium. I have no anxiety about the track. I am only afraid that for our indolence and unfaithfulness God will discharge us and get some other stoker and some other engineer. The train is going through with us or with out us. So, my brethren, watch all the events that are going by. If things seem to turn out right, give wings to your joy. If things seem to turn out wrong, throw out the anchor of faith and hold fast. There is a house in London where I Peter the Great of Russia lived awhile j when he was moving through the land incognito and in workman’s dress that he might learn ship carpentry, by which he could supply the needs of his people. A stranger w’as visiting at that | house. “What’s in that box?” The ; owner said: "I don't know. That box 1 was there when I got the house, and it was there w'hen my father got It. We haven’t had any curiosity to look at it. I guess there’s nothing in it.’’ • Well,” said the stranger. “I’ll give you £2 for It.” "Well, done.” The £2 was paid, and the contents of that box were sold to the Czar of Russia for |50,000. In it the lathing machine of Peter the Grew?, n 1c, private letters and documents of value beyond all mone tary consideration. And here are the events that seem very Insignificant and unimportant, but they incase treasures of Divine Providence and eternities of meaning which after awhile God will demonstrate before the ages as being of stupendous value. When Titans play quoits, they pitch mountains, but who owns these gigan tic natural forces we are constantly reading about? Whose hand is on the throttle valve of the volcanoes? Whose foot, suddenly planted on the footstool, makes the continents quiver? God! I must be at peace with him. Through the Lord Jesus Christ, this God is mine and he is yours. 1 put the earthquake that shook Palestine at the crucifixion against all the down rockings of the centuries. This God on one side, we may challenge all the centuries of time and all the cycles of eternity. Those of you who are in midlife may well thank God that you have seen so many wondrous things, but there are people alive today who may uve to see the shimmering veil between the ma terial and the spiritual world uplifted. Magnetism, a word with which we cover up our ignorance, will yet be an explored realm. Electricity, the fiery courser of the sky, that Benjamin Franklin lassoed and Morse and Bell and Edison have brought under com plete control, has greater wonders to reveal. Whether here or departed this life, we will see these things. It does not make much difference where we stand, but the higher the standpoint, the larger the prospect. We will see them from heaven if we do not see them from earth. Years ago I was at Fire Island, Long Island, and I went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours be fore they come into port. There is an opening in the wall, and the opc'ator puts his telescope through that open ing and looks out and sees vessels far out at sea. While I was talking with him he went up and looked out. He said. “We are expecting the Arizona tonight.' I said, "Is it possible you know all those vessels? Do you know them as you know a man’s face?” He said, “Yes. I never make a mistake. Before I see the hulls I often know them by the masts. I know them all— I have watched them so long.’’ Oh. what a grand thing it is to have ships telegraphed and heralded long before they come to port, that friends may come down to the wharf and welcome their long absent ones! So today we take our stand in the watch-tower, and through the glass of inspiration we look off and see a whole fleet of ships coming in. That is the ship of peace, with one star of Bethlehem floating above the top gallants. That is the ship of the church, mark of salt water high upon the smokestack, showing she has had rough weather, but the captain of Salvation commands her, and all is well with her. The ship of heaven, mightiest craft ever launched, millions of passengers waiting for millions more, prophets and apostles and mar tyrs in the cabin, conquerors at the foot of the mast, while from the rig- j ging hands are waving this way as if j they knew us, and we wave back again, for they are ours. They went out from our own households. Ours! Hail, hail! Put off the black and put on the white. Stop tolling the funeral bell and ring j the wedding anthem. Shut up the hearse and take the chariot. Now the ship comes around the great headland. Soon she will strike the wharf, and we will go aboard her. Tears for ships going out. Laughter for j ships coming in. Now she touches the wharf. Throw out the plank. Block not up that gangway with em bracing long lost friends, for you will have eternity of reunion. Stand back and give way until other millions come aboard her. Farewell to sin! Fare- j well to struggle! Farewell to sickness! i Farewell to death! “Blessed are all they who enter in through the gates j into the city.” No Chicken. Trust a messenger boy to be up on expressive slang. The particular one | who hail a message to deliver pester- ! day morning at the office of the gen- j eral passenger agent of the Pennsyl- j vania railroad was as tough a looking i specimen as you could find in a day’s journey. His cap was placed at a per ilous angle on his frowsy head, tobac co stains lurked about the corners of j his mouth, and he was puffing a cigar ette stump. The dignified clerk who took the message scowled. “Sign dat,” demanded the boy, holding out his slip, and expectorating copiously on the floor. “I’ll have you put out of here if you don't know how to be have,” said the clerk severely. A look of scorn passed over the boy’s grimly features. “Aw, don’t git icy wid me, or I’ll slide all over youse!” he ex claimed. Then he sauntered out whis tling. "Go Away Hack and Sit Down.” —Philadelphia Record. Forgotten Directions. As the steamer pitched and rolled in the waves the traveler heard, through the thin partition, a wailing voice in the next stateroom exclaim: "Oh, mamma, it’s coming on again, worse than ever!” Then he heard a sleepy voice in reply: "Marie, why don’t you follow the directions you told me about before we came on board?” “Because I’ve forgotten whether I ought to breathe in as the vessel rises, and let the brer.th go out as it moves downward, or whether it ought to be the other way, and oh! oh! oh! I wish 1 was dead.”—Epworth Herald. The Chinaman carries a fan, even if b' f soldier on active service, or if * : ig to his execution. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON XII. DEC. 22: EX. 14: 13-27. The Starting; of the Israelite* on Their Journey from Egypt to the Troinlsert Land, a I.and Destined to lie the Native Country of the Savior. I. In our last lesson we left the Is raelites celebrating the first Passover feast. They were strengthened by the food. They were dressed for the march. They had packed up all the things they could take with them. They had en gaged In worship. Their courage and faith had been stimulated. And now the hour had come. While they were still engaged In celebrating their tlrst Pass over feast, at midnight the Eord smote all the firstborn of Egypt, from the first born of Pharaoh that sat upon the throne to the firstborn of the captive that was In the dungeon (12:28). The last and greatest stroke had fallen. The whole land of Egypt was now In intense excitement. There was a great cry, for there was not a house where there was not one dead. There was no longer a refusal of Moses’ request. On the con trary, Pharaoh could not wait till morn ing before he sent to Moses, and bade him be gone with all the people. II. The first Journey of the Israelites was from Rameses to Succoth (12:37). These are not towns, but districts. Rameses was "the land of Rameses,” which Is spoken of as Identical with Goshen, or at least with the western portion of It. It lay along the Wady Tumllat, the line of the present Sweet water Canal, and was shaped like a corn ucopia with its broader end toward the Nile. From all portions of this land the people assembled at Succoth, as their place of rendezvous. III. The Israelites first moved toward thr northern or the Philistla route. This seemed the nearest and safest way. and It was natural that they should choose it In their haste to get away from Egypt. Either the pillar of cloud and of fire did not lead them at first, or It was seen that the only way was to let the people see for themselves the difficulties in the way, as the best way to satisfy and to I train them. IV. Vs. 13-1S. The Israelites marcheil southerly to reach the (sates through the great wall which opened into the : Red Sea Road to I’alestine. This was near the head of the Red Sea. They . had. of course, permission to go through, but when they reached the place they found everything changed. They were unexpectedly caught in a trap. Pharaoh had changed his mind. The garrisoned gates through the wall were closed. The wall coming down to the water prevent ed them from going around the head of the sea. On two sides were high moun tains. In front of them the wide ex panse of the sea. The only open way was that by which they came, and !o, they see. V. Sea.—Vs. 10-23. The night came on. The first part was moonless, for it was at least three or four days after the full moon of the Passover. The Israelites in the light went forward toward the sea. The Egyptians followed them in the darkness slowly, but feeling sure of capturing them in the morning. But the flaming fire that led the Israelites also made known to the Egyptians where the fugitives were. Hence "19, the angel of God." That is the real presence of God, manifested in the pillar of cloud and Are. It was never mere cloud and fire, but God's angel in them, a living power that guided the nation by this outward manifestation. The real presence remov ed. and with that "the pillar of the cloud” removed. VI. Vs. 20, 2T. 26. “Stretch out thine hand." Showing that the power was from God. But as the pathway was made by the wind, so doubtless now there were employed a wind changed to west and the returning tide. 27. "Overthrow the Egyptians.” it is nowhere said that Pharaoh himself was drowned in the sea. lie was overthrown in his army. Ac cording to the monuments, Menephtah was not much of a warrior, but pre ferred to send his generals to war rather than go himself. “The sea returned to his strength.” Better, as in margin of R. V., "to its wonted flow.” VII. No notice of the Exodus is found upon the monuments of Egypt. Nor should we expect any. Looking down upon the magnificent structure of the tomb of Napoleon I in the Hotel des Invalides. of Paris, we could see on the walls surrounding the sarcophagus a mosaic representing the laurel wreaths of victory; and enwreathed in these were the names of some of the most splendid battles fought by the great warrior— j Austerlltz, Marengo, etc., but Waterloo was not mentioned there, though it is the best-known battle he ever fought. It was a defeat for him. For the same reason the defeat at the I ted Sea and the escape of the Israelites would not be mentioned In the tombs of the Pharaohs. VIII. Several different theories have been propounded. Hr. Trumbull, in his Kadesh Barnea. strongly confirms the traditional place at the northern end of the Gulf of Suez. “The Israelites cross ed near the town of Suez, on extensive shoals which run toward the southeast, in the direction of Ayun Musa <the Wells of Moses). The distance is about three miles at high tide.” The Egyptians, in the darkness, probably did not know that they were on the bed of the sea. and counted it safe to go where the fugitives in the light were ready to go. On the other hand, quite a number with Prin cipal Dawson thinks the crossing was H.-d Sea extended farther north than now ami Joined the Bitter I-akes, which were therefore a part of the Red Sea; and that the crossing was somewhere over a part of this chain of lakes. Prin- | eipal Dawson thinks the crossing was through the southern part of the Bitter Lakes” between station Fayid, on the railway, and station Geneffeh. See Map at beginning of the lesson. Christmas I.cssons from Exodus. 1. Like the Israelites, the world was under the bitter bondage of sin. 2. Jekus Christ came into the world as the great Deliverer. Ills coming was the great era of the world, that changed all its future existence. 3. One of the great difficulties in the way was that many of the people did not realize their need deeply enough to make them willing to throw off their bonds. 4. Jesus, like Moses, wrought great mir acles to show them the goodness and the power of God, who called them from the bondage of sin to the glorious liberty of the sons of God. This helped them to believe. lie pictured before them the promised land, to awaken hope. Distribution of the dews. Of the 11,000,000 Jews in the world, 6,000.000 live in Russia. 2,100,000 in Austria-Hungary, 600,000 in the Ger man, and 235,000 in the British Em pire. Of the last, 140,000 belong to London.
