Do WUt Talmage took his text from Gala iShs L 18: -I west mp to Jerusalem." He said: My second day la the Holy Land. We re in Joppa. It ia six o'clock in the morning, but we must start early, for by night we are to be Jerusalem, and that city is forty-one miles away. We may take camel or horse or carriage. As to-day will be our last opportunity in Palestine for taking the wheel we choose that. The horses with harness tassled and jingling, are hitched and with a dragoman in coat with many col ors seated in front, wo start on a road which unveils in twelve hours enough to think of for all time and all eternity. Wo start out of the city amid barri cades of cactus on either aide. Not cacti in boxes two or three feet high, but cactus higher than the top of the carriage a plaat that has more swords for defense, considering the amount of beauty it can exhibit, than any thing coated. We passed out amid about four hundred gardens, seven or eight acres to tho garden, from which at the right seasons are plucked oranges, lem OI'48' ollvo8 oltron and pomegran at?nd wh5ch hold up thoir censers of pcrfiirao before the Lord in perpetual praise. We meet great processions of camels loaded with kegs of oil and with fruits, and some wealthy Mohammedan with four wives throe too many. Hero wo meet peoplo with faces and arms and hands tattooed, as in all lands sailors tattoo thirarms with some favor ite ship or admired face. It was to this habit of tattooing among tho Orientals that God refers in a figure when He says of His church: I havo graven thee on tbe palms of my hands." Many of these regions are naturally sandy, but by irrigation they are mado fruitful and as in this irrigation tho brooks and rivers aro turnel this way and that to water the gardens and farms, so tho llible says: 'The King's heart is in the hands of tho Lord and Ho turnoth it as tho rivers of water aro turned whithersoever lie wilL" As wo pass out and on wo find about 800 acres belonging to the Universal Israulitish Alliance Montellore, tho Israel itish centenerian and philanthro pist, and Rothschild, tho banker, and others of tho large-hearted havo paid tho passago to Palestino for many of tho Israelites and sot apart lands for thoir culture, and it is only a beginning of the fulfillment of Divine prophecy when these people tako jiosscsion of the Holy Land. Tho road from Joppa to Jerusa lem and all tho roads leading to Nazar eth and (lallilco wo saw lined with pro cessions of Jews, going to tho sacred places, either on holy pilgrimago or as hettlern. All tho fingers of Providence now-:i-days are pointing toward that re sumption of I'.ilestino by tho Israelites. I do not tako it that tho prospered Is raelites of other lands aro to go there. .1 hey would bo foolish to leave their prosjM'rifes in our American cities where thoy aro among our l.st citizens, and cross two seas to begin life over again in a slrango land. Hut tho outrages heaped upon them in Russia, and tho insults offered them in Germany, will soon quadruplo and centuple tho procession of Igraol itcsfrom Russia to Palestine. Facili ties for getting thcro will bo multiplied, not only in tho railroad from Joppa to Jerusalem, to which I roferred last Sab bath as being built, but permission for a road from Damascus to tho Hay of Aero lias been obtained, and that of course will soon connect with Joppa and make one great ocean shore railroad So the railroad from Jerusalem to Joppa, and from Joppa to Damascus will soon bring all tho Holy Land within a few hours or connection. Jewish coloniza tion societies in England and Russia aro gathering money for tho transporta tion of the Israelites to Palostino and for the pureliaso for them of lands and farming implements, and so many de hire to o that it is decided by lot as to which families shall go first They wero God's chosen peoplo at first, and Ho has promised to bring them back to their home, and there is no power in 1,000 or 5,000 years to make God forget His promises. Those who aro prospered in other lands will do well to stay whore thoy are. Hut let the Israelites who aro de preciated and attacked and persecuted turn their faces toward tiio rising sun of their deliverance. God will gather in that distant land those of that race who havo been maltreated, and He will blast with the lightnings of nis omnip otence those lands on either side of the Atlantic which havo been tho instru ments of annoyanco and harm to that Jewish race, to which bolongod Abra ham and David and Joshua and Baron, llirsch and Montefioro and Paul tho Apostle, and Mary tho Virgin, and Jesus Christ tho Lord. On tho way across tho plain of Sharon wo meet many vailed women. It is not respectable for them to go un vailed, and it is a vail that is so hung as to mako them hideous. A man may not oven see the faco of bis Wife until after be trothal or engagement of marriage. Hence tho awful mistakes and tbe un hnppy homes for God has mado tho faco an index of character, and honesty or dishonesty is usually demonstrated in the features. I do not sco what God made a fair face for if it were not to be looked at Hut hero come the crowds of disfigured women down the road on thoir way to Joppa, bundles of sticks for firewood on their heads. They started at three o'clock in tho morning to get tho fuoL They stagger under the bur dens. Whippod and beaten will some of thorn be if their handle of sticks is too small. AIL that is required for divorcement is for a man to say to his wife: "Ho off, I don't want you any more." Woman is a slave in all lands except those in which the Gospel of Christ makes her a queen. And yet in Christian countries there are women posing as skeptics, and men with family deriding tho only religion that makes sacred and honorable the names of wife. other, daughter and sister. What is that? Town of Bamleh, birth place, residence and tomb of Samuel, the glorious prophet Near by. Tower of Forty Martyrs, called so because that number of disciples perished there for Christ's sake; hut if towers had been built for all those who in the time of war as in tlmo of peace, have (alien on this road during the ages past; yon might almost walk on tarrets from Joppa to Jerusalem. Now we pass guard bosses which are castles or chopped straw and mud, where at night and partly throagh' the day armed men dwell and keep the bandits ok travelers. In the .eaves of mountains dwell men to whoa mi would be high play, and a parse with a few pennies would he compensation enough for the struggle that the savage might havo with the wayfarer.

Human life is more highly valued and personal right are better respected, and I am glad to believe that ia oar country, from the Atlantic oceaa to the Pacilo ocean, there is aot a place to-day where a maa is aot safer withoat a pis tol than with one. Hut all through oar joaraeys to Palestine we required fle ams. While the only weapon I had on my person was a New Testament, we went through the region where I said to the dragoman: "David, are you armed?" and he said: "Yes," and I aaid: "Are those fifteen or twenty muleteers and baggagemen and attend ants armed?" and he said: "Yes," and I felt safer. On we roll through tho plain of Sharon. Here grew the rose after which Christ was named. Rose of Sharon, celebrated in all Christendom and throughout all ages. Yonder, a little to the north as we move on is the plain of Ono. Tho Bible mentions it again and again. The vil lage standing on this plain of Ono is a mud village. Two great basins of rock catch tho rains for the people. Of more importance in olden time than in modern time was this plain of Ono. But as the dragoman announced it and in the Bible I read of it, I was reminded of the vast multitude of people who now dwell in the plain of Ono. They are, by their nervous constitution or by their lack of faith in God, always in tho nega tive. Will you help to build a church? O, no! Will you start out in some new Christian enterprise? O, no! Do you think the world is getting any bettor? O, no! They lie down in the path of all good movements, sanitary, social, political and religious They harness their horses with no traces to pull ahead but only breeching straps to hold back. For all Christian work I would not givo a thousand of them the price of a clipped ten cent piece. These aro in the plain of O, no! May the Lord mul tiply tho numbers of thoso who, when any thing good is undertaken, are found to live in tho plain of O. Yes! Hero now wo como where stood tho fields into which Samson fired the foxes. Tho foxes are no rarity in this land. I counted at ono time twenty or thirty of them in one group and the cry all along tho lino was "Foxes! Look at tho foxes!" and at night they sometimes bark until all attempts to sleep are an absurdity. Thoso I saw and beard in Palestino might have boon descendants of the very foxes that Samson em ployed for an appalling incendiarism. Tho woalth of that land was in tho har vests and it was harvost timo and tho straw was dry. Three hundred foxes aro caught and tied in couples by some wire or incombustible cord which tho flames can not divide, and firebrands are fastened to thoso couples of foxes and the frightened creatures are lot loose and run ovory whither among tho harvests, and in tho awful blazo go down tbo corn shocks, and tho vine yards, and tbe olives, and all through tho valleys and ovor tho hills and among tho villages is beard tho cry of "Fire!" And in tho burnt pathway walk Hunger, and Want, and Desolation. All thhi for spite. And somo theolo gians learn one thing, and somo another. Hut I learn from it that a great man may sloop to a very mean pioce of busi ness, and that if mon would uso as much ingenuity in trying to bless as they do to destroy, tho world all the way down would havo been in better condition Yet the firo of tho foxes kindled that night in Palestino has not gone out, but has leaped the seas, and tbo sly foxes, iho human foxes, aro now still running every whither kindling political fires, fires of religious controversy, fires of hate, world-wido fires, and wholo har vests of rightiousness perish. Hraco up your nerves now, that you may look while I point thorn out. Yon der is Kirjath Jcarim, whoro tho ark of God stayed until David took it to Jeru salem. Yonder John tho Baptist was born. Yonder is Emmaus, whoro Christ walked with tho disciples at oventide. Hero are men plowing, only ono han dlo to tho plow, showing tho accuracy of Christ's allusion. When wo plow in America or England thero aro two hands on two handles, but in Palestino only ono handle. And so Christ uses tho singular saying: "No man having put his hand to tho plow and looking back is fit for the Kingdom." Tho ox is urged on by a wooden stick pointed with sharp iron, and tho ox knows enough not to kick, for ho would only hurt himself in stead of breaking the goad. And the Bible refers to that when it says to Saul: "It is hard for thee to kick against tho goads." Hero is tbe valley of Ajalon, famous for Joshua's pursuit of tho fivo Kings and tho lunar arrest And in imagina tion I see the moon in day time halt Who has not sometimes seen tho moon divide the throno with the sun? But whon tho king of day and tho queen of night, who never beforo Joshua's timo nor since then stopped a moment in their march, halted at Joshua's com mand it was a scene enough to make the universe shiver. ''Moon, stand thou still in tho valley of Ajalon!" And there is tho cavern of Makkedah, where thoy fled for safoty and where thoy were afterward locked in, and from which they wero taken out to be slain, and in which they wero af torward buried; and you do well to examine that cavern, for within a few hours it became three things which no other cave ever was: Fortress, prison, sepulchre. Now wo pass tho place where once lived one of tho greatest robbers of the century, Abou Gosh by name. From this point youseo ho could look over all the surrounding country, and long be fore tho travolers came up to him the plan for the taking of their money or their life, or both, was consummated. Ho ono day found a company of monks who would not pay and he smothered them to death in a hot oven. In his last days he lived here like an Oriental Prince and had his attendants and ad mirers to whom he told the stories of brigandago and assassination. So late as when our eminent and beloved Amer ican, William C Prime, passed through, Abou Gosh, the scoundrelly Bedouin, sat at his doorway smoking his pipe. His descendants live in this village and probably are no more honest than their distinguished ancestor, but marauding and murder are not as safe a business now as when all this route to Jerusalem was subject to outrages pandemoaiac. Here we pass the Tillage of Latrun, home of the penitent thief, the Tillage a few straggling houses on steep hills risiag from tho valley of Ajalon. Up these steep hills, in his earlier days, the thief had carried the spoils of arson and burglary, and down them he had borne the heavier burden of a guilty heart Now wo come to the brook Eiah, from which little David took the smooth stones with which he prostrated Goli ath. There is a bridge spanning the ra vine, bat at the season we crossed there is not a drop of water ia the brook. We went down into the ravine aad walked amid the pebbles that had been washed smooth, Tory smooth, by the rash of the waters through aU the ages. There is where David.armed himself. The topography of the place so corre spond with the Bible story that I could see the memorable fight go en. It is the only tght I ever did watch.

Closer and closer they come, bat David ad vances tbo more rapidly. "Corae to mo," said tbe giant, "and J will give thy flesh unto tbo fowls of tha air and to tbe beasts of tho field." David re sponded: "I como to thee ia the name or tho Lord of Hosts." Aba, that is the right kind of battlo shout: "la the name of tbe Lord of Hosts!" Ho who fights in that spirit wins tho day. Tbe almost Israclitish dwarf enlarges into omnipotent proportions. Tbo moment to strike is coma David takes his sling with a stono in it and whirls it round his head, until ho has put the weapon into sufficient momen tum, and then taking sure aim, hurls it. The giant throws up his hands and reels back and falls Tbo stone sank into his forehead. That was the only available point of attack. But we must hasten on, for the danger now is that night will bo upon us be foro wo reach Jerusalem. O! we must see it before sundown. Wo aro climbing tbe hills which are terraced with olive groves uplands rising above uplands, until wo como to an immensity of bar renness, gray rocks, where noither tree, nor leaf, nor bush, nor grass blade, caa grow. Tho horses stumble, and slip, and pull, till it soems tbo harnoss must break. Solemnity and awe tako posses sion of us. Though a vivacious party, and during part of the day jocularity bad reigned, now no ono spoko a word except to say to tho dragoman: "Tell us whon you get tbo first glimpso of the city." I nover had such high expecta tion of seeing any place as of socing Jerusalem. 1 think my feolings may havo boon slightly akin to that of tho Christian just about to enter the heavenly Jerusalem. Over another shoulder of tho hill we go, and nothing in sight but rocks and mountains and awful gulches be tween them, which mako tho head swim if you look down. On and up. on and up, until the lathered and smoking hordes aro roinod in and the dragoman rises in front and points eastward, cry ing "Jerusalem!" It was mightier than an electric shock. We all rose. Thero it lay. the prizo of nations, tho termi nus of famous pilgrimages, tho object of Roman and crusading wars, and for it Assyrians had fought, and Egyptians'1 had fought, and tho world bad fought; tho placo which tho Queon of Slieba visited and Richard Coour do Lion bad conquered. Home of Solomon. Home of EzekieL Homo of Jeremiah. Homo of Isaiah. Homo of Saladin. Mount Zion of David's heartbreak and Mount Mori ah whoro tbo sacrifices smoked, Mount of Olivos whoro Jesus preached, and Gethsemane whoro Ho agonised, and Golgotha wbcro Ho died, and the Holy Sepulcher where Ho was buried. O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Greatest city on oarth and typo of tho city celestial. An Arab on a horso that was like a whirlwind, bitted and saddled and spurred, its mane and flanks jot as the night and thero aro no borsomon as Arab borsomon bad como far out to meet us and invito us to his hotel inside tbo gates. But arrangements had been mado for us to stay at a hotel outside tho gates. In tbo dusk of evening wo halted in front of tho placo and ontered, but I said: "No, thtink you for your courteous rccoption, but I must sleep to-night insldo tho gates of Jerusa lem. 1 would rather have tho poorest placo insido tbo gates than the best placo outside." So wo remounted our coach and moved on amid a clamor J of voicos, an l between camels grunting with great beams and timbers on their back, brought in for building purpores for it is amazing how much a camol can carry until wo camo to what hi callod tbo Joppa gate of Jerusalem. It is about forty feet wide, twenty feet deep and sixty feet high. Thero is a sharp turn just after you have entered, so planned as to mako the entrance of armed enemies tbe more difficult On tho structure of tbeso gates tho safoty of Jcrusalom dopended and all tbo Itible writers used them for illustrations. Within fivo minutes' walk of tho gate wo entered David wrote: "Enter into thy gates with thanks, g.ving." "Lift up your beads, o. 3 gates!" 'The Lord lovetb tbo gates of Zion," "Opon to mo tho gates of righteousness." And Isaiah wrote: "Go through, go through tbo gates." And tho Captain of tbo Patinos wrote: "Tbo city had twelvo gates" Having passed the gate wo wont on through the narrow streets, dimly light ed, and passed to our baiting place and sat down by the window from which wo could see Mount Zion, and said: "Hero we aro at last in the capital of the whole earth." And thoughts of the past and the future rushed through my soul in quick success on, and I thought of that old hymn, sung by so many as cending spirits; Jcruaal in my happy homo, Name ev t Uear to mat Wncn shall my tabors have aa end. In Joy nad peace and thee? When shall these eyes thy aeav battt w.ills And pearly sates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of ablniag goU? And so with oar hearts fnll of grati tudo to God for journeying mercies all the way from Joppa to Jerusalem, and with bright anticipation of our entrance into tbo shiaing gate of the Heavenly City when earthly journeys are over, my second day in Palestine is ended. new a mister Waa a Wager.

DsaUaotkm of the Dupoat Powslar Work at Wilmington, DaL A Wmmrtmi Imm of Life YM- SMewa f At WrMnjfOTOjr, DeL, Oct A Several startling explosions in quick succession some coasted Ive, others seven at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon aa aoaaeed to Wllmiagtoa a disaster at the Dupoat powder works on tho Brandy wine. A rash was made for tel ephones, but nothing coald be learned beyoad vague reports of damage. As soon as borsemea from here could reach the works it was found that the whole section of the works known as "upper yard" was a complete wreck. and at least twelve persons were killed snd twenty wounded, while Rocklaad was a complete wreck, none of its bouses being left standing. Rockland is a village on the Brandy wine fully a mile above tbe scene of the explosion. It has a large paper mill owned by tbo Jcssup A Moore Company, about fifty dwellings, in which chiefly reside tbe mill employes. Its popula tion is about 200. Thero were several reports resembling the booming of cannon and about a sec ond apart. Tho first thought was that there had been an explosion at tho pow der works, but tho reports seeming so near and not being characterized by tbe usual rumbling and there being no smoke visible in the direction of the mills, it was imagined that the explo sion had occurred in tbe city. Tbe hazy atmosphere hid the smoke and caused tbe reports to sound differently from thoso of preceding explosions. Physic ans summoned by telephone and hurrying toward the powder manu factory was the first indication tbo pub lic bad of the exact location of tho catastrophe. Immediately thereafter thousands of people went to tho scene of the disaster. Tbo oflico of the Dupont Company is a complete wreck and six mills are in ruins. Several members of the Dupont firm wero injured by falling walls and broken glass, but none of them serious ly. Among tho slightly injured are: Eugene Dupont, the head of tbe firm; Francis G. Dupont and Charles L Du pont Thoy and so vera I clerks in the oflico wero cut by fragments of broken glass but none of them seriously. Tbe dead were all employes of the company and were in and about tho mills that exploded. Soicral workmen aro missing and are believed to have been blown into frag ments. Tbo wounded receivod their in juries among tho walls of their falling houses and by brokon glass and flying debris. Tho first explosion occurred in ono of tho packing mills, whoro a workman named Grail was soldering a can of hexagonal powder to bo shipped for tho uso of tbe United States Government In somo way a spark communicated to tbo can and blew it up. Instantly tho packing mill exploded, and tbo other mills in tho upper yards, seven or eight in numbor, followed at intervals of less than one second. All these, except one, wero "rolling mills," in which the in gredionts of gunpowder aro pulverized by tbe action of vertical rollers of stone turning slowly around a central post The whole machinery is driven by water power. Immediately after tho oxplosion a large building known as tbe "refinery," located near tho center of tho village, took fire. It was a matter of life and doath to tho wholo population that this fire should bo extinguished beforo it communicated with the powder tho building contained. Tho Dupont firo brigado valiantly fought the flames, which "Had caught tho roaf and succeed ed in extinguishing tbom. Had tbe roof fallen in it is doubtful if any man, woman or child in tho vicinity would have escaped death or serious injury. About fifty families are rendered homo loss by tbe disaster. At Mount Salem Methodist Church more than one-half of tho window sashes of the largo building wero blown out and of thoso that remained tho glass was broken. At the scene, of tbe disaster women and children, wivos and sons and daugh ters of men employed in tbo powder manufactory, were madly rushing here and there seeking Information about the safoty of their loved ones Tho yard in which tho mills stood was littered with debris of fallen buildings and at some places where buildings had been the only traco left was empty cellars and a few foundation stones Tbe litt e village of Dupont's Hanks, immediately outsido tho powder yard, presented a most pitiable appearance. A hundred dwellings were o.ther de molished or bally damaged?' Buildings were unroofed and fronts of houses were blown out and wrecked. Insido tbe dwellings the devastation was com plete. Tho rooms on tbe ground floor wero strewn with broken crockery, crushed stoves and remnants of tables, etc. It is estimated that tbe loss can not be less than $500,000. Fifty families aro rendered homeless by the disaster and many were so dazed by the terriblo events of those few sec onds as to seem hardly conscious of where thoy wero or what they were doing. The injured aro being gathered into tbo hospital building appertaining to tbe works and are receiving such aid as they need. Coafereac of Irfok XatleaatUU.

Krly yesterday morning fire was discovered in the bedroom of Mrs, David K. Davis at f IS Delaware street by Harry Crook, her graadsoa, who slept ia a bed on the floor ia the same room. He gave tbe alarm aad Charles Mortoa, a boarder of the house, was sooa st his side aad aided la extiaguishiag the blaze, which wss evidently iacendlary. While the two were engaged in smothering the fire David E. Davis, tho husbaad, rushed down stairs aad against tbe south door of tbe bedroom with such violence as to push tbo bed in which lay Mrs. Davis over the blase. The mat tress caught fire, but was extiagutsbed before it gaiaed headway. Mortoa then seeing that Mrs. Davis was either unconscious or dead, picked her up aad carried her to the sitting room, where it was found that murder most foul had been committed that the old lady had met her death by vio lence j'iSt before the firo was started. Tho nearest physician. Dr. McCor mick, was called and a hurried examina tion showed that life w extinct Wednesday night Mrs. Davis went to bed at ten o'clock, aad the grandson went to sleep about that hour on a feather bed, spread upon tho floor. He blew out the lamp, which stood on tho bureau, before retiring. He had been ash-i-p for Home time when he thought he bad a queer dream. Some one was sneaking around in the room. Ho could hear tho otairs creak ing from tbo weight of stealthy foot steps. In bis dream bis grandmother's voice cried, "Holp, Harry, help." Ho struggled with the nightmare to waken, and rousing himself he found tho carpet blazing around the broken lamp in tho center of tbo floor. Tho boy is small for bis age and not strong. Tho body was examined by Acting Coroner White and takon to tbo parlor, and a number of persons summoned as jurors, where later an autopsy was held by Drs. Goddard. Lane and M. S. Thom as. This revealed thrco spots of extra vasated blood under tho ncalp and over tho frontal bono with no evidence of violence on tho outside. Fivo or six bruised spots were found on tho right forearm, each the size of ai.Vcentplece, A largo spot or bruit on the left arm with a large clot of blood under tbo skin at this point and tho skin chafed, a little bod ooiing out. Tbe brain and heart were healthy, lungs filled with frothy mucus and also showed some signs of death from asphyxia. A small abscess was discovered in left kidney which, tho physicians said, might havo been caused from convulsions which might havo pro duced sudden death. Tho opinions of physicians appear to bo that tbo woman was rendered insen s ble by a blow in the forehead, as shown in tbe examination, and then prevented from breathing by something hold ovor thu mouth and nostrils.
