J -''' - IfeWltt Taenia OTn9n IB arxBaBaBj XSMCtMttMllklY BTbbbBbb wWer, In a late sermon at Brooklyn Her T" DeWitt Talmage took his text from job XxxriiL 22: "Hast thorn entered into the treasnrcs of the snow?" He said: Grossly maligned is the season of .winter. The sprimr and smnnrr mI m have had many admirers, bat ir, hoary headed and white bearded winter, hath had more -enemies than friends. Yet without winter the hu man race would be inane and effortless. You might speak of the winter as the mother of tempests; I take it as the father of a whole family of physical, mental and spiritual energies. At this fceason of the year when we are so fa miliar with the snow, these frozen va--4ors, the falling- blossoms of the sky. those white angels of the atmosphere, I turn over the leaves of my Bible and though most of it was written in a clime i here snow seldom or never fell I find many of these beautiful conge lations. Though the writers may sel dom or never have felt the cold touch of the snowflakc on their cheek, they had in sight two mountains, the tops of which were suggestive. The first time we find a deep fall of snow in the Uible is where Samuel de scries a fight between Benaiah and a lion in a pit, and though the snow may have crimsoned under the wounds of loth man and brute, the sliaggy mon itor rolled over dead and the giant was victor. But the snow is not fully recog nized in the Bible until God interro gates Job, the scientist, concerning its wonders saying: "Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?"1 I rather think that Job may have ex amined the snowflakc with a mienv scopc; for, although it is supposed that the microscope was invented long after Job's time, there had been wonders of glass long before the microscope and telescope of hiter days were thought of. Whether through macnifvinir instru ment or with unaided eye, I can not say, but I am sure that Job somehow went through the galleries of the snow flake and counted its pillars and found wonders, raptures, mysteries, theolo gies, majesties, infinities walking up and down its corridors, as a result of the question which the Lord had asked him: "Hast thou entered into the treas ures of the snow?" After a fresh fall of snow, in one walk you crush under your feet Tuiller ies, Windsor Castles, St. Pauls, St l'eters, St Mark's Cathedral, Alham bras and Sydenham palaces innumera ble. I know it depends much on our own condition what impression these flying meteors of the snow make. And now I propose for your spiritual and everlasting profit if you will ac cept ray guidance, to take yon through joine of these wonders of crystalliza tion. And notice first God in the littles. I take up the snow in my hand and sec the coursers of celestial dominion pawing these crystal pavements. The telescojw is grand, but I must confess that I am quite us much interested in the microscope. The one reveals the universe above us; the other just as great a universe beneath us. What you want and I want especially is a God in littles. If we were seraphic or arch angelic in our natures we would want to study God in the great; but such small, weak, shoVt lived beings as you and I are, want to find God in the littles. When I see the Maker of the universe giving Himself to the architecture of a biiowfluke and making its shafts its Homes its curves its walls its irradia tions so perfect I codclude He will look after our insignificant affairs. And if we are of more value than a sparrow, most certainly we are of more value than an inanimate snowflakc So the Bible would chiefly impress us with God in the littles. It does not say, "Consider the clouds" but it sa3s "Con sider the lillies." It does not say, "Be hold the tempests" but, "Behold the fowls," and it applauds a cup of cold water, and the widow's two mites and says the hairs of j-our head are num bered. Do not fear, therefore, that you are going to be lost in the crowd. Do not think that because you estimate yourself as only one snowflakc among a three days' January snowstorm that you w ill be forgotten. The birth and dro: of chilled vapor is as certainly re garded by the Lord as the creation and demolition of a planet Nothing is big to God and nothing is small. What a comfort that he is a God in littles. The Emperor of all the Kussias in olden time was looking at a map that spread lef ore him his vast domin ions and he could not find Great Britain on the -man. and he called in his secre tary and said: "Where is Great Britain that I hear so mueh alwut?" "It is un der your thumb," said the secretary, and the Emperor raised his hand from the map and saw the country he was looking for. And it is high time that we find this mighty realm of God close by and under our own little finger. To drop you out of His memory would be to resign His omniscience. To refuse you His protection would be to abdicate His omnipotence. When j-ou tell me He is the God of Jupiter, and the God of Mercury, and the God of Saturn, you tell me something" so vast that I can not comprehend it Uut if yon tell mc He is the God of the snowflakc you tell mc something1 I can hold and measure and realize- Thas the smallest snow flake contains a jewel case of comfort Here is. an opal, an amethyst a dia mond. Here is one of the treasures of the snow. Take it for your'present and everlasting comfort Behold, also, i&4he snow the treasure of accumulated power. Duringasnow storm let an apothecary, accustomed to weigh most delicate quantities hold his weighing scales out of the window and let one flac fall on the surface of the scales and it will not even make it tremble When you want to express extreme triviality of weight you say: "Light as a "feather;" but a snowflake is much lighter. It is just twenty-four times lighter than water. And yet the accumulation of these flakes broke down, a few days ago, in sight of my house, six telegraph poles made help less police and fire departments, and halted rail trains with two thundering locomotives. We have already learned so much of the power of electricity that we have become careful how we touch the electric wire, and in many cases a touch has been death. But few days ago, the snow put its hand on most of these wires and tore them down as though they were cobwebs. The snow put its finger on the Up of our cities that were talking- with each other and they went into silesca, -attar Jar not a word. The anew is aMektiar than the lightning.

What an exciting straggle had Bayard Taylor aafoajr the wiatry Appe nines. In the winter of 1812, by a similar force, the destiny of Eerope was de cided. The Freach army marched np toward Moscow M0,600 area. What can resist them? Not bayonets, bat the dnmb eleateats overwhelm that host Napoleon retreats from Moscow with about 200,000 men, a mighty nacleas for another campaign after he gets back to Paris. The morning of October 19, when they start for home, is bright and beautiful. The air is tonic, and, al though this Russian campaign has been a failure, Napoleon will try again in seme other direction with his host of brave surviving Frenchmen. But a cloud comes on the .sky, and the air gets chill, and one of the soldiers feels on his cheek a snowflake, and then tliere is a multiplication of these wintry messages and then all the skies let loose upon the warriors a hurricane of snow, and the march becomes diffi cult and the horses and it hard to pull the supply train, and the mea begia to fall under the fatigue, and many not able to take another step lie down in the drifts never to rise, and the cavalry horses stumble J.nd fall, and 1,000 of the army fall, and 10,000 perish, and 20,000 go down, and 50,000 and 100,000, and 120.000 and 132,000 die, and the vic tor of Jena and bridge of Lodi, and Eylau, and Ansterlitz where three great armies commanded by three Emperors surrendered to him, now himself sur renders to the snowflakes. Historians do not seem to recognize that the tide in that man's life turned from December 16, 1609, when he ban ished by hideous divorce his wife Josephine from the palace and so chal lenged the Almighty, and the Lord charged upon him from the fortresses of the sky with amunition of crystal. Snowed under ! Billions trillions quad rillions quintil lions of flakes did the work And what a suggestion of ac cumulative power, and what a rebuke to all of us who get discouraged because we can not do much, and therefore do nothing.

What can I do?" "My brother, how much do yon weigh? As mnch as a snowflake?" "Oh, yes." Then do your share. It is an aggragation of small influences that will yet put this lost world back into the losom of a pardoning God. Alas that there are so many men and women who will not use the one talent because they have not ten, and will not give a penny because they can not give a dollar, and will not speak as well as they can because they are not eloquent and will not be a snowflake because they can not be an avalanche. In earthly wars the Gen erals get alnwt all the credit, but in the war of God and righteousness and Heaven all the private soldiers will get crowns of victory unfailing. When Ave reach Heaven I do not think we will Ikj able to begin the new song right away, because of the surprise we shall feel at the comparative rewards given. Then we shall see a palace, the door steps of gold and the windows t f agate, and the tower like the sun for brill iance, and chariots before the door, and people who look like Princes and Princesses going up and down the steps and we shall say: "What one of the heirarchs lives here? That must be the residence of a Paul or a Milton, or some one whose name resounds through all the. planet "from which we have just ascended." "No, no," says our celestial dragoman, that is the residence of a soul whom your never heard of. When she gave a charity her left hand knew not what her right hand did. She was mighty in secret prayer, and no one but Gtxl and her own soul knew it She had more trouble than any body in all the land where she lived, and without complaining she bore it and though her talents were never great what she had was all consecrated to God and helping others and the Lord is making up for her earthly privation bj- especial raptures here. Did you not have in your world below an old classic which says something about 'these are thev who came out of great tribulation, and they shall reign forever and ever?" As we pass up the street I find a good many on foot and I say to the dragoman: "Who are these?" And when their namc is announced I recognize that some of them were on earth great poets and great orators and great merchants and great warriors and when I express my surprise about their going on foot, the dragoman says: "In this country people are rewarded not according to the number oTthcir earthly talents but according to the use they made of what they had." And then I thought to myself: "Why, that theory would make a snowflake that falls cheerfully and in the right place, and does all the work assigned it as honorable as a whole Mont Blanc of snowflakes." 4Tes yes" says the celestial dragoman, many of these pearls that you see on the forehead of the righteous and many of the gems in the jewel case of Prince and Princess, are only the petrified snowflakes of earthly tempest for God does not forget his promise made in regard to them: They shall be mine, said the Lord of hosts in the day when l make np my jewels.'" Accumulated power! All the prayers and charities and kindnesses and talents of all the good concentered and compacted will be the world's evan gelization. This thought of the aggre gation of the many smalls into that one mighty is another treasure of the snow. Another treasure of the snow is the saggestioaof the usefulness of sorrow. Absence of snow last winter made all nations sick. That snowless winter has not yet ended its disasters. Within a few weeks it put tens of thousands into the grave aad left otters in homes and hospitals gradually to go down. Called by a trivial name, the Sassiaa ''grip," it was an international plague. Plenty of snow sseaas public health. There is no medicine that so sooa cares the world's asalana as these white Ballets the clouds adauaister.

The Maroaites say that one charac teristic of the cedar tree is that when the air is full of snow, and it begins to descend, the tree lifts it branches ia a way better to receive the snow aad bear np under it, and I know by much observation that the grandest cedars of Christian character, lift higher their branches toward God when the snows of trouble are coming. Lord Nelson's coffin was made out of the mast of the ship L'Orient, in which he had fought so bravely, and your throne in Heaven, O suffering child of God, will be built out of conquered earthly disasters. What gave John Bunyan such a woa drous dream of the celestial city? The Bedford penitentiary. What gave Rich ard Baxter such power to tell of the "Saints' Everlasting Rest" end give his immortal "Call to the Unconvert ed?" Physical disease which racked every nerve in his body. What mellowed jand gltfified Wilber force's Christian charactei? A financial misfortune that led him to write: "I know not why my life is spared ho long, except it be to show that a man can be as happy without a fortune as with one." What gave John Milton such keen spiritual eyesight that he could see the battle of the angels? Extinguish ment of physical eyesight What is the highest observatory for studying the stars of hope and faith and spiritual promise? The believer's sick-bed. What proclaims the richest and most golden harvests that wave on the hills of heavenly rapture? The snows deep snows, the awful snows of earthly calamity. And'that comforting thought is one of the treasures of the snow. Another treasure of the snow is the suggestion tnat tius mantle covering the earth is like the soul after it is for given. "Wash me," said the PsalmlsV and I shall be whiter than snow." My dear friend, Gasherie De Witt went over to Geneva, Switzerland, for the re covery of his health, but the Lord had something better for him than earthly recovery. Little did I think when I bade him good-bye one lovely afternoon on the other side the sea to rettnrn to America that we would not meet again till we meet in Heaven. As he lay one Sabbath morning on his dying pillow ia Switzerland, the window open, he was looking out upon Mont Blanc. The air was clear. That great mountain stood in its robe of snow, glittering in the morning light, and my friend said to his wife: "Jennie, do you know what the snow on Mont Blanc makes me thinh of? It makes me think that the righteousness of Christ and the pardon of God cover all the sins and imperfec tions of my life as that snow covers up that mountain, for the promise is that though our sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow." Was not that glorious. I do not care who you are, or where 3011 are, you need as much as I do that cleansing which made Gasherie De Witt gdod while he lived and glorious when he died. Do not take it as the tenet of an obsolete theology that our naturois corrupt We must be changed. We must be made over again. The ancients thought that snow water had especial power to wash out deep stains. All other water might fail, but melted snow would make them clean. Well, Job had great admiration for snow, but he declares in substance that if he should wash his soul in melted snow he would still he covered with mud like a man down in a ditch. (Job ix. 30.) "If I wash myself in snow water and make my hands never so clean, yet shalt thon plunge me in the ditch and mine own clothes shall abhor me." We must be washed in the fountain of God's mercy before we can be whiter than snow. "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord." If there be in all this audience one man or woman whose thoughts have always been right, and whose words al ways right, let such a one rise, or if al ready standing, lift the right hand. Not one! All wc, like sheep, have gone astray. Unclean! unclean! And yet we may be made whiter than snow, whiter than that which, on a cold win ter's morning after a night of storm, clothes the tree from bottom of trunk to top of highest branch; whiter than that which, this hour, makes the Adiron dacks and the Sierra Nevada and Mount Washington heights of pomp and splen dor tit to enthrone an archangel. In the time of Graham, the essayist, in one mountain district of Scotland aa average of ten shepherds perished every winter in the snow drifts end so he proposed that at the distance of every mile, a pole fifteen feet high and with two cross pieces be erected, showing the points af the compass and a bell hung at the top. so that every breeze would ring it and so the lost ones on the mountains would hear the sound and take the direction given by this pole with the cross pieces and get safely home Whether that proposed plan was adopted or not I do not know, but I de clare to all yon who are in the heavy and blinding drifts of sin and sorrow' that there is a cross near by that caa direct you to home, and peace, and God) and hear you aot the ringing of the Gospel bell hanging to that cross, say ing: "This is the way, walk ye in it?

Mr. O'Brien explains that the idea of a public statemeat was abaadoaed be cause both sides declared it was impos sible, as ao useful purpose would fol low the publishing of tbe details of the aegotiations. "I can not too strongly express,' con tinues Mr. O'ltrien, "with what feelings we found a settlement so vital ship wrecked at the last moment by mere contests of words and phrases contests which, with a little more magnanimity and less suspiciousness on both sides might bare easily bcea arranged and which, to my mind, offer a shockingly inadequate excuse for committing 'the country to a struggle involving conse quences so appalling. We are ham pered at every step, not merely by tbe malignant tittic tattle and .mischief making of the English press but by the more serious impediments placed in our way by responsible persons who under the influence of some extraordinary in fatuation have seemed to grudge every hour devoted to peace making and to resent every attempt to give a less bar barous character to the conflict" Mr. O'Brien expresses gratitude for the attitude of helpfulness and sym pathy of the bulk of the English and Irish people and of his colleagues on both sides of the Irish party, who, he believes arc ready to make any sacri fice of personal feeling or punctilio for the restoration of the priceless blessing of national unity. "The acknowledg ment" he says "bs especially due to the loyal, high-minded efforts of sev eral of the very foremost men on all sides." In conclusion, Mr. O'Brien says: "One of the saddest things in this tragic busi ness is that circumstances have ren dered it impossible to give organized effect to the overwhelming public long ing for a reconciliation, while the field is held by heated partisans who, im pelled by motives which I do not ques tion, but who are fatally deceived as to their own and their opponents' strength and the consequences of continued discord, have done their worst by exasperating language and insulting suspicions scarcely vailed threats and rumors and intrigues to make the work of peace making impossible. The irrcconcileables of both sections have carried the day. Mr. Dillon and myself can not longer stand stand between ttiem and this deplora ble work. We should hare tecn more sensitive to the obloquy we incur by re fusing to participate in such a conflict had we ever shrunk from a conflict with Ireland's enemies. We can do nothing more till we have recovered freedom of action by getting through with the sentence standing against us. On the expiration of that term I shall be happy to submit myself to the judg ment of my constituents; and if I can not otherwise assist I can enable them to commit their interests to other hands." Mr. O'Brien expressed the hope that the inevitable conflict forced upon the country might be conducted without personal bitterness and degrading per sonalities so that when the unhappy passions of the hour should have ex hausted themselves all might again co operate in the nation's cause. electee atece flatter That Bocheeter, the feUewiag frees enatejBMw. eaauBnana fasBBBffWfa salsa, whs Is wat-kaewa act ar If w , x a.. receertlr pus) haul ia FINAL VOWS.

James O'Connor, late Bishop of Omaha, started years ago, and which was the desire of his life to sec placed on a firm footing, took tangible shape in this city to-day by an event which also marked Hhe turning point in the life of one of the wealthiest young ladies in the world, Miss Kate Drexel. At 7:30 o'clock this morning Mis Drexel in the presence of a number of church dignitaries made her solemn profession of religion by taking the ir revocable vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. But few spectators were admitted. At Miss Drexcl's own re quest the affair was quiet and with very little display. Miss Drexel repaired to the chapel and knelt in prayer awaiting the hour of her profession to arrive. Soon the black and white vailed sisters filed into the chapel and took their places. Tbe altar was grandly decorated with flowers and almost hidden by the nu merous wax tapers. Miss Drexel carries with her 57,000,000 into church life work. A Bad If aa to Tackle. Bangor.

Rsoeutly, however, tbe increase has been checked aad I attribute this to tbe general use of my remedy." "Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it Mr. Warner!" "A prominent professor la a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on tbe subject of Bright's disease. He bad various fluids under microscopic sa slysis and was shewing the students what tho indications of this terrible malady were. 'And now, gentlemcu,' he said, 'as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it sppears ia a state of perfect health,' and be submitted his own fluid to the usual test As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed his color and command both left him and la a trembling voice ho said : 'Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; hare Bright's disease of tho kidneys;' and in le-tsthan a ear he was dead.
