TALM AGE’S SERMON. OUR CAUSFS FOR THANKSGIVING TO THt GOD OF LOVE. Tnt from "SIhr Into Him with » Fualtery and an Instrument ot Ten Strings" Favor* I.tiTlshly lies to wed Ktrelved with Ingratitude. (Copyright, 1802, by Louis ICIopsch. N. Y.1 Washington, Feb. 2.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage calls attention to causes of thanksgiving that are sel dom recognized and shows how to cul tivate a cheerful spirit; text. Psalms xxxiii, 2, "Sing unto him with a psal tery and an instrument of ten strings.” A musician as well as poet and con queror and king was David, the au thor of my text. He first composed the sacred rhythm and th'n played it upon a harp, striking and pluc: ing the strings with his fingers and thumbs, '.'he harp is the oldest of musical in struments. Jubal invented it, and he was the seventh descendant from Adam. Its music was sugested by the twang of the bowstring. Homer re fers to the harp in the "Iliad.” It is the most consecrated of all instru ments, it has a tenderness and sweet ness belonging to no other instrument that I know of. It enters into the richest symbolism of the Holy Scrip Hires. The laptures of heaven are rep resented under the figure of "harpers harping ou their harps.” We learn from coins and medals that in the Maccabean age the harp had only three strings. In other ages it had eight strings. David's harp had ten strings, and when his great soul was ..tire with the theme his sympathetic voice, accompanied by exquisite vi bration of the chords, must have been overpowering. With as many things to complain about as any man ever had David wrote more anthems than any other man ever wrote. Indeed, the more his ! roubles the mightier his sai red poems. The words "praise" and "song" are so often repeated in his psalms that one would think the typesetter’s ease con taining the letters with which those words are spelled would be exhausted, in my text David calls upon the peo ple to praise the Lord with an instru ment of ten strings, like that which ho was accustomed to finger. The simple fact is that the most of ns, if we praise the Lord at all, play upon one string or two strings or three strings when we ought to take a harp fully chorded and with glad fingers sweep all the »'rings. Instead of being grateful for here and there a blessing we happen to think of, we ought to rehearse all our blessings so far as we can recall them and obey the Injunction of my text to sing unto him with an instru ment of ten strings. Have you ever thanked God for de lightsome food? What vast multitudes are a-hungerod from day to day or are obliged to take food not toothsome or pleasant to the taste! What millions are in struggle for bread! Have you appreciated the fact that on most of your tables are luxuries that do not come to all? What fruits, what nuts, what meats regale your ap petite. while many would be glad to get the crusts and rinds and peelings that fall from your table. For the fine flavors and the luxurious viands you n« .'o enjoyed for a lifetime perhaps yo i have never expressed to God a v or.-i of thanksgiving. Have you thanked God for eyesight as originally given to you or, after it was dimmed by age. for the glass that brought the page of the book within the compass of the vision? Have you realized the privation those suffer to whom tne day is i.s black as the night anil who never s e the face of father or mother or wife or child or friend? The man of millions of dollars who re cently went blind from atrophy of op tic nerve would have been willing to give all his millions and become a day laborer if he could have kept off the blindness that gradually crept over his vision. Have you ever given thanks for two eyes—media between '.he soul inside and the world outside, media that no one but the infinite God could create? The eye, the window of our immortal nature, the gale through which all col ors march, the picture gallery of the soul! Without the eye this world is a big dungeon. I fear that many of us have never given one hearty expres sion of gratitude for treasure of sight, the loss of which is the greatest dis aster possible unless it be the loss of the mind. Further, notice how many pass through life in silence because the ear refuses to do its office. They never hear music, vocal or instrumental. The thunder that rolls its full diapason through the heavens does not startle the prolonged silence. The air that has for us so many melodies has no sweet sound for them. They live in a quietude that will not be broken until heaven breaks in upon them with its harmonies. The bird voices of the springtime, the chatter of the children, the sublime chant of the sea. the solo of the cantatrice and the melody of the great worshiping assemblies mean nothing to them. Have we devoutly thanked God for these two wonders of our hearing, with which we can now put oui selves under the charm of sweet sound and also carry in our memories the infantile song with which our mothers put us to sleep, and the voices of the great prima donnas like Lind and Patti and Neilson, and the sound of instruments like the violin of the Swedish performer, or the cornet of Arbuckle, or the mightiest of all in struments, with the hand of Morgan on the keys and his foot on the pedal, or some Sabbath tune like “Corona tion,” in the acclaim cl which you could hear the crowns of -•isven com ing down at the feet of jetfds? Many of us have never thanked God for this bearing apparatus of the c.'J. That 1h one of the ten tarings of gratitude that we ought always to thrum ufter hearing the voice of a loved one or the last strain of an oratorio, or the clang of a cathedral tower. Further, there are many who never recognize how much God gives them when he gives them sleep. Insomnia Is a calamity wider known In our land than in any other. Sleeplessness is an American disorder. If it has not touch ed you and i'ou can rest for seven or eight hours without waking—if for that length of time In every twenty four hours jpu can be free of all care and worrtm :nt and your nerves are retuned and your limbs escape from all fatigue and the rising sun finds you a new man, oody, mind and soul—you have an advantage that ought to be put in prayer and song and congratula tion. The French financier, almost wealthy enough to purchase a kingdom but the victim of Insomnia, wrote: “No slumber to be bought in any market.” Ho was right. Sleep is a gratuity from him who never sleeps. Oh, the felici ties of slumber! Let all who have this real benefaction celebrate it. That is one of the sweetest strings in all the instrument of ten strings. Further, let us gratefully acknowl edge the power of physical locomotion. To be able to go where we wish and all unaided—what a kindness! What mul titudes have to call in the aid of cane and crutch and invalid’s chair, and their whole life is a hinderment! How hard to get about with la< .i of strong and healthy and supple limbs! Con gratulated ought you all to be ;f you have the usual physical endowment, and sympathized with ought all those to be who can neither walk nor climb nor enter upon any great activities. That is one of the thousands of rea sons why I hate war with a complete hatred. It takes off with bullet or shell or surgeon's knife the capacity of men to achieve their own livelihood or do the work for which they would other wise be fully qualified. Brave men self-sacrificing men, for the lest of their life are put on the limits and strangely suffer in stormy weather from limbs amputated. How much of the human family in every century has been cut up and shot to pieces and passed into mutila tion! American manhood had hardly , recovered from the lacerations of the j war of the Revolution when it was : called to be carved by the swords and stabbed with the bayonets ; ml black ened with the gunpowder of 1812. Hardly recovered was our American manhood from that when the war with Mexico began its butchery. Hardly was American manhood recovered from that before the civil war took hold of it and dug its grave trench through the north and its grave trench through the south. Hardly was our American manhood recovered from tiiat when the Spanish war came, with its malaria and crowded hospitals. Thank God that now' four of the great est nations are allied in good under standing—the United States, England. Germany and Russia—and if they will do the right things they can forever stop national and international strife and put an end to wholesale amputa tion. Further, celebrate on the instrument of ten strings our illumined nights. They spread their tents over us, and some of us hardly go out to look at them. During the nights other worlds come in sight. We thank God for the day; we ought also to thank him for the night. Worlds on worlds in sight of the naked eye, but more worlds re vealed by telescope. At least one night in his lifetime every man ought to go into astronomical observatory and see what has been done by the great World Builder. Thank God for lunar and stellar illumination. further, on tne instrument ot ten strings celebrate the possession of our reason. A severe stroke upon the head or a sudden calamity or any one of fifty kinds of accident might dethrone our reason and leave us worse off than the brute, for the brute has a substi tute for reason in what is called in stinct, but a man's brain shattered, and he has neither mind nor instinct. The asylums for the insane, though all the time multiplying, are not enough to shelter the demented. Through the cramming system em ployed in many of the schools of this country there are tens of thousands of children having their brain depleted Philosophers at ten years of age. us tronomers at eleven years of age, geol ogists at twelve years of age. They will be first on examination day, but last in all matters of useful anu suc cessful life. It would be amusing to see how much children are expected to learn and know if it were not con nected with the tragedies of damaged intellects which follow. Another string of this instrument 1 now touch—friendships, deep and abid ing, by which I refer to those people who, when good or bad motive may be ascribed to you, ascribe the good; those concerning whom you do not wonder which side they will take when you are under discussion; those who would more gladly serve you than serve them selves; those to whom you can tell everything without reserve; those who are first in your home by person or by telegram when you have trouble. Oh. what a blessing to have plenty of friends! Aye, if you have only cne good friend, you are blessed in that glad possession. With one such friend you can defy the world. If you have been through some great crisis and you have one friend left, thank God and celebrate it on the «weetest harp string. • While all this is so," says some one, "there are so many things that oOiers have which I have not.” 1 reply, it is ! not what wo get, but whnt wa nre, that I ijei-ijfs our happiness. With the bare necessities of life many are unspeaka bly happy, while other* with all the luxuries are impersonations of misery. Your heart right, all is right; your heart wrong, all Is wrong. But we must tighten the cords of our harp and retune it while we celebrate gospel advantages. The highest style of civilization the world has over seen is American civilization, and it is built out of the gospel of pardon and good morals. That gospel rocked our cradle, and it will epitaph our grave. It soothes our sorrows, brightens our hopes, in spires our courage, forgives our sins and saves our soul3. It takes a man who is all wrong and makes him all right. What that gospel has done for you and me Is a story that we can never fully tell. What it has done for the world and will yet do for the na tions it will take the thousand years of the millennium to celebrate. Oh. what a world this will be when it rotates in its orbit a redeemed planet, girdled with spontaneous harvests and en riched by orchards whose fruits are speckles:; and redundant, and the last pain will have been banished and the last tear wept and the last groan ut tered, and there shall be nothing to hurt or destroy in aP God's holy moun tain! All that and more will come to pass, for "the mouth of the Ix>rd hath spoken it.” So far 1 have mentioned nine of the ten strings of the instrument of grati tude. 1 now come to the tenth and the last. 1 mention it last that it may be the more memorable—heavenly antici pation. By the grace of God we are going to move into a place so much better than this that on arriving wo will wonder that we were for so many years so loath to make the transfer. After we have scon Christ lace to face and rejoiced over our departed kindred there are some mighty -pirits we will want to meet soon after we pass through the gate*. We want to see ami will see D.»vid, a mightier king in heaven than lie ever was on earth, and we will talk with him about psalmody and get from him exactly what he mea..t when he talked about the in strument of ten strings. We will con front Moses, who will te’l of the law giving on rocking Sinai and of his mysterious burial with no one but God present. We will see Joshua, rfnd he wih tell ns of the coming down of the walls of Jericho at the blast of the ram's horn and explain to us that miracle—how the sun and moon could stand still without demolition of the planetary system. We will see and talk with Daniel, and he will tell us how lit. -a» Belshazzar’s banqueting hall turned into a slaughter house and lio’i the lions ;;rctted him with loving faw.i instead of stroke of cruel paw. We will see and talk with Solomon, whose palates are gone, but whose in spired epigrams stand out stronger and stronger as the centuries pass. We will see Paid and hear from him how’ Felix trembled before him, and the audience of skeptics on Mars hill were confounded by his sermon on the brotherhood of man. what lm saw at Ephesus and Syracuse and Philippi and Ronm and how dark was the flamer tine dungeon and how sharp the ax that beheaded him on the road to Os tia. What a thrill of excitement for us when we gaze upon the heroes and heroines who gave iheir lives for the truth. We wi’l sec the gospel pro elaimers Chrysostom and Bourdaloue and Wbitefield ar:d the Wesleys and John Knox. We will see the great Christian poets Milton and Dante and Watts and Mrs. II-mans and Frances Havergal. V*<>, all the departed Chris tian men and women of whatever age or nation. mu iiwrp wu* do one rocus toward which all eyes will be directed. His infancy having cle-pt on pillow of straw: all the hates of the Hcrodic government planning for his assassina tion; in after time whipped as though he were a criminal; asleep on the cold mountains because no one offered him a lodging; though the greatest being who ever touched our earth, derisively called “this fellow;” his last hours writhing on spikes of infinite torture; his lacerated form put in sepulcher, then reanimated and ascended to be the center of all heavenly admiration —upon that, greatest martyr and mightiest hero of all the centuries «e will be permitted to look. Put that among your heavenly anticipations. Now take down your harp of ten strings and sweep all the chords, mak ing nil of them tremble with a great gladness. I have mentioned just ten— delightsome food, -yesight, hearing, healthful sleep, power of physical lo comotion, illumined nights, mental faculties in equipoise, friendships of life, gospel advantages and heavenly anticipations. Let us make less com plaint and offer mmc thanks, render less dirge and more cantata. Take pa per and pen and write down in long columns your blessings. 1 have recited only ten. To exuress al. the mercies God has b»stoweu you would have to use at least, three, and 1 think five, nu merals, for surely they would run up into the hundreds and the thousands. "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever." Get into the habit of rehearsal of the brightnesses of life. Notice how many more fair days there are than foul how many more good people than bad you meet. Set your misfortunes to music, as David opened his “dark sayings on a harp.” If it lias been low tide heretofore, lei the surges of mercy that are yet to roll in upon you reach high water mark. All things will work together for your good, and heaven is not. far ahead. Wake up all the ten strings. Pressing and honor and giory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb for ever. Amen! THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON VII. FER. I 6; ACTS 5: 33-42 —THE SECOND PERSECUTION. Uoldra Test—"Dlrairil Arc 1 h»y Which Arc Persecuted for Righteousness' Sake: For 'fheirs Is the Kln;itoni of Heaven'' Nolen on Persecution. I. The Occasion of the Persecution.— Vs. 12-16. Distinguish between the Cause and the Occasion of the persecution. The Cause lay in the hearts of the persecu tors, whose rank, power, authority, hon or and income might he affected by the success of the gospel; and whose con science would accuse them of the murder of tile Mi sslah, and the ruin of their na tion. The Occasion was the success of the gospel; the great numbers of converts, the transformation of their character, their noble and joyous life, their pure teachings, their generosity, and the many things done by them to relieve disease, sorrow and poverty. The leaders had their choice of two ways: they could try to do better things than the Christians, or they could try to stop the progress of those who were doing these things. They chose the latter way. The Apostles’ Action in Persecution.— Vs. 21-32. First. They went on fearlessly preaching the gospel, Just as if there hail been no threats. They did not hide their ''light under a bushel,” but placed it on a candlestick. They were a city set on a hill. Hut the officers again arrested them as quietly as possible, and brought them before the court. They were afraid of mob violence. "Godliness converts men in to heroes, ungodliness into cowards.” "Did not we straltly." Strictly. "Ye have tilled Jerusalem with your doctrine." How much better to fill Jerusalem with the gospel Instead of those things with which it had been tilled. "This man's blood." It was plain that if Jesus was the Messiah, the rulers had been traitors to their nation. It was this charge that stirred them so deeply. God gave the apostles In this way another opportunity to preach the gospel to the rulers, who could not have been reached In any other way. "We ought to obey t ;ou num r man men." The conscience's of the Sanhedrim approved of the principle, however they (littered from the application, lie charges the rulers with fighting against God. The apostles were patriots: they were on the side of the God ot their fathers, and the rulers were arrayed against him. The rulers had done the same before, but had failed. God had given life to him whom they had killed, and exalted him whom they rejected. But then was still room for hope and for salvation. They and their nation eould be saved. That this was true was pro\ ed by a double array of witnesses, the apostles, and the Holy Spirit. The Persecutors fighting against God. Vs. 33-40. 33. -They were cut to the heart." Their consciences were touched, and yet they were not willing to obey them. Their souls were a battlefield of conflicting passions. The voice of the spir it was speaking to them. It is not religion that disturbs the soul, but resistance to its mandates. "And took counsel." Not fail t<> show the supernal greatness of how they might learn the truth, not how they might be saved from sin. but "to slay them." As If breaking the alarm bed would put out the tire, or destroying the accuser would bring innocence to the ac cused. “Then stood . . . up one in the coun cil, a Pharisee, Gamaliel, son of Symeon, and grandson of Hillel, and said, lake heed to yourselves.” Be very careful wh it you do. I.ook at the matter from every point of view. Gamaliel proceeds to take example from the recent history of the Jews, from which to learn how to pro ceed in the present case. "Refrain from these men." Do not try to kill them, or to interfere with them by force. "For if their labor be of men." of human origin, of worldly purpose, car ried on by only human power. “It will come to nought " Such work as the apos tles conducted in their way could not suc ceed unless God was in it. The whole Ro man power would rise against any Insur rection or any attempt to raise up a new kingdom. The Sanhedrim could well leave the apostles to them. "But it it be of God, ye cannot over throw it." Vou will be laboring in vain, "last," if you undertake to put this new sect down by force; "haply," possibly. "Ye he found even to tight against God." That is a battle in which no man can win. "And when they had . . beaten th.'tnSt. Paul, as he tells us in 2 Cor. II: 24, was five times flogged by the Jews. “And . . . commanded . . . them,” as if that would do any good. Rejoicing in Persecution.-—Vs. 11. 42. "Set before your pupils the magnificent boldness of Peter and all the rest in the matchless speech tvs. 29-32). There is r ('tiling more sublime In literature. Never far, to show the supernal greatness of Scripture characters. God's people are Go (1-like. Make pupils look for the high est greatness In connection with him, in the Bible and "tit of it." The apostles were “dignified by indignity, honored by dishonor. They are so great that all that men can do cannot degrade them." "And they departed . rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his a into " R V.. "the Name." In this they obeyed Christ, who In his beatitude bade them rejoice and he ex ill When bad men hate and oppose us, we have reason to believe that we have some active goodness and are not living In vain. It places us among the s ilnts and prophets and martyrs. (2) "Great shall tie the reward In heaven." for it gives an opportunity of gaining the heavenly char acter and spirit the heavenly capacity for joy. Only through battlefields can come victory and crowns t.'b It gives tin opportunity to express our love to Jesus; to move it to him, to ourselves, and to the world. "They ceased not.” Not that persecution always has in It an element of meanness, it is the strong overbearing the weak, not In intellect or virtue, but in numbers and popular power. The Treatment of Krror. The sentiment of Gamaliel is full of wisdom in regard to the treatment of error. Jesus himself said. "Kvery plant, which mv heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up” (Matt. IB; 13). For (1) the very way to exalt error into noth e, and to confirm men In It. is to oppose it In a harsh, au thoritative, and unkind manner. (2i Krror, if left alone, will often die away itself. The interest of men in it will often cease as soon as it ceases to tie opposed; and having nothing to fan (he flame, it will expire. It Is not so with truth. (3> This does not mean that error is to do all the talking, and truth never attempt to set the people right. But (1) the power of truth is positive. In the presence of error preach the truth, and live the gospel, taking as little notice of the error as. pos sible. One revival of religion is worth more to nut down infidelity than a million hooks full of unanswerable arguments. Persecution a Failure. The one way to overcome evil is by good. Only moral weapons can really destroy moral evil. But persecution 111 the end usually helps the good. It Is a sieve that sifts out the chaff from wheat, the bad seed from the good, both In the community and the in dividual. Many a man's piety shines brighter, and his strength Is increased by opposition. Tin- Population of Maunchniittti.

Almost everyone hai heard of the petrified forest In Arizona, but few know that It Is comparatively easy of access to visitor*. The distance from the railroad is but seven miles and at the station Adam ana, on the Santa Fe, a few miles east of Holbrook, Mr. Albert Stevenson maintains a small inn, accommodating about ten people and provides a spring wagon outfit and several saddle ponies for those who desire to visit the forest. The old pioneer, Adam Hanna, who, in the sense that John Hance made the Grand Canyon, made the Petrified For est, has moved away. At the forest there are hundreds of sections of tree trunks of various sizes nd in variegated colors lying ex posed on the plain or half buried in the hillsides. There are several ex tinct volcanoes in the vicinity of the forest and about two miles from the railway station are the ruins of an old Aztec settlement and curious hiero glyphics carved on rock.
