For Rood jte-. ihnoslnc the Path Through Life tiff For the ;ior!oa of '.the Hereafter. JflflKcrnion at Brooklyn ev. T. JjcVijTalmage took his text from John- xviii. 37: "To this end was I born." Ho said: After Pilato had suicided tradition says that his body was thrown into the Tilicr, and 'hitch storms ensued on and alKTj. that river that his 'body 'was tali out and thrown Into the Rhone, ' and similar disturbances wept that " river and its banks. Then the body was taken, out, and rcnoved to Lau- sanne, ami put in a deeper jiool, which immediately became the cchter of sim ilar atmosphoric and aqueous disturb ances. Though these are fanciful and false traditions, they show the execra tion with which the world lookecLupon I'ila'tc-lf was before this man when he -was full of life and power That Christ was arraigne'd as in a court of oyer and terminer. I'ilate said to his prisoner: "Art thou a king,; then?" and Jesus answered: "To this end was I born." Sure enough, although all earth and hell arose to keep him down. He is to-day cmpalaced, enthroned and coroneted king of earth and king of Heaven. "To this end was I born." That is what he came for, and that was what he accomplished. lly the time a child reaches ten years of age the parents begin to discover that child's destiny; but by the fimc he 'or she reaches the age of fifteen years of age the question is on the child's lim.: "What am I to.be? What am I" going to do? What was I made for?" It is a sensible and righteous question, and the youth ought to keep on asking it until it is so fully answered that the young man, or the young woman, can can say with as much truth as its author, though on a less expensive scale: "To this end was I born." There is too much divine skill shown in the physical, mental and moral con struction of the ordinar- human being to suppose that h "" . constructed " without divine purp It is impos sible for meto believe that an3 ordinary human being who lias in his muscular, nervous and cerebral organizations more wonders than Christopher Wren lifted in St. raid's,, or I'hidias ever chiseled on the Acropolis, and built in such a way that it will last long after Sf Paul's cathedral is as much a ruin as tho Parthenon- that such a lieing was constructed for no purpose, and to execute no mission, and without any divine intention toward sotuc end. The object of this sermon is to help you to find out what yon are made for, and help you find 3our sphere, a:id assist you into that condition where you can sav with certuint i! cranks that may have lived in 3our ancestral line, and who a hundred years before 3011 were born may have lived a st3le of life that more or less alTeots" 3011 to-day. , You arc .hot re sponsible for te fact that 3our tem perament is .sanguine, or melancholic, rJ'ilious, or lymphatic or nervous. ier are 3011 responsible for the place of your nativity. Neither are 3ou responsible for the religion taught In your father's "house, or the Irrejigion. Do not bother yourself about what you cannot help, or about circum stances you diil not" decree. Take things as" they .are and decide the ques tion so that 3ou shall be able safely to say: "To this end. was I born." How will you decide k? Ry direct applica tion to the onl3 being in the universe who'is competent to tell 3ou the Lord Almighty. Do 3011 know the reason wiry he ! the only one wh) can tell? Recause he can see ex'crj'thirg between vour cradle and 3'our grave, though the grave .be eight3 years off. The only Reing who can take all things that pertain to 3011 into con sideration is (Iod, and He is the one you can ask. Life is so short wc have no time to experiment with occupations and professions. The reason wo have o many dead failures is that parents decide for children what the3 shall do, or children themselves, wrought on 1)3 some whim or fanc3. decide for them selves without any imploration of livino guidance. So we have now in pulpits men making sermons who ught to be in blacksmith shops mak ing plowshares, and we have in the law those who instead of ruining the cases if their clients ought to le pounding shoe lats, and doctors who are the worst hindrances to their patients' con valescence, and artists trying to paint landscapes who ought to be white washing board fences. While there arc .'then? making bricks who ought to be remodeling constitutions, or shoving planes who ought to be transforming literatures. Ask God about what worldly busine&s you shall undertake until ou are positive you can in earnestness smite your hand on your plow handle, or 3our carpenter's bench, ir 3our Itlackstone's Commentaries, or vour medical dictionary, or your Doctor Dick's Didactic Theology, saying- "For this end was 1 born." There are children who curb develop natural affinities for certain st3les of work. When the father of the astron omer Forbes was going to London he asked his children what present he should bring ench one of them. The hoy who was to be an astronomer cried Mit: "I'ring me a telescope!" And there are children whom 3011 find all by themselves drawing on their slates t on paper, ships, or houses, or birds, and 3-ou know the3 are to bo draughts men or artists of some kind. And 3ou find others ciphering out difficult prob lems with rare interest and success and you know they are to be mathema ticians. And others making wheels' and strange contrivances and you know they are going to be machinists. And others are found experimenting with Mlow and sickle, and you know le farmers. And others are vapping jack-knives or balls and bats and making something by the bargain, and they are going to be mer chants.

When Philip Doddridge, whose nhous :inil bnnlre hsvo harvested nn J,? counted souls for glory, began to study for the ministry. Dr. Calatny, one of the wisest and best men, advised him to turn his thoughts to some other work. Isaac Barrow, the eminent :lergyman and Christian scientist his books standard now though he has been dead over 200 years was the dis hcartenment of his father who used to jay that if it pleased God 1 1 take any ot his children awav he hoped it might be his son Isaac. So i-omc of those who have been characterised for tin ir tupidit3 in boyhood or girlltr.o". have turned out the mighties beuefa : r or benefaelres-cs oi tno i.n t 1 . TliCbe things being to, ai.i ! :i in saying that in many cases God oalj knows what is tho 'most appropriate thing for you to do, and Be "is the oti to ask. And let all parents, and all schools, and all universities, and all colleges recognize this, and a large number of those who spent their best years in stumbling about among busi nesses and. occupations, now trying this'and now trying that, and failing in all, would be able to go ahead with a definite, decided and tremendous pur pose, saying: "To this end was i born." Hut my subject now mounts into the. momentous. Let rac say that you are made for usefulness and Heaven. - I judge this from the way you are built You go into, a shop where there is only one wlictel turning' anef'tnat by a work- ,ri)tf's foot on a treadle, and yon say to yourself: "Hera Is something gooo. pe ing done, yet on a small scale;" but if you go into a factory - covering many acres, and you find thousands of bands - pulling on thousands of wheels, and shuttles Hying, and the whole scene bewildering with activities, driven by water or steam, or electric power, you conclude that the factorj.jyas put up to do great work and on a vast scale. Now. I look at you, and if 1 should find that you had only one faculty of body, only one muscle, only one nerve, if you could see but could not hear, or could hear ami not see, if you had the use of only one foot or one hand, and as to your higher nature, if you only had one mental faculty and you had memory but no judgment, or judgment but no will, and if you had a scnl with only line capacity, I would M not much is exacted of you. jdp -.land up, O, man: and let me look Jou squarely in the face. Kyea capable of seeing every thing. Kara capable of hearing every thing. Hands capable of grasping everything:" Mind with more wheels 'than any factory ever turned, more power than Corliss engine ever moved. A soul that will outlive all tho universe except Heaven, and would outlive all Heaven if tho life of other immortals were a moment short of the eternal. Now, what has the world a right to expect of' .you? What has (iod a right to demand of 3ou? (Jod iff the greatest of economists in the universe and he makes nothing uselessly, and for what purpose did he build your body, mind and soul as they are built? There are only two leiugs in the universe who can answer that Question. Th mute equipment doing nothing, or next to nothing in the way of useful ness. "What shall I do?" you ask. My brethern, my sisters, do not ask me. Ask God. There's some path o,f Christ ian usefulness open. It may lie a rough path, or it may be a smooth path, a salvation of the one to whom they were uttered, and he became the llov. Mr. Champion, one of the most distin guished missionaries in heathen lands, for 3ear.s wondering who did for him the Christian kindness, and not finding out until in a bundle of books sent him to Africa ho found tho biography of Hrainerd Taylor and a picture of him, and the missiouar3 recognized the face in that book as the man who. at the watering trough for horses, had said the thing that had saved his soul. What opportunities you have had in the past! What opportunities 3011 havo now! What opportunities you will have in the da3s to come! Tut on your hat, () woman, this afternoon, and go in and comfort thnt young mother who lost her babe Inst summer. Put on your hat, O man. and go over and see that merchant who was compelled yes terday to make .an assignment, and tell him of the everlasting riches re maining for all those who serve the Lord. Can you sing? (Jo and sing for that man who cannot get well, and you will help him into Heaven. Let it lie 3'our Jbrain. your tongue, your eyes, 3our cars, 3'our heart, your lungs your hands, 3our feet, your lody, your mind, 3our soul, 3'our life, your death, 3our time, your eternity for God, feel ing in 3'our soul: "To this end was I born." It may lie helpful to some if 1 recite line of the enemy's force by a similar force. One reason wli3 he lost Water loo was because he did not work his usual theory, and spread his force over a wide range. O Christian man, O Christian woman, break through some where. Not a general engagement for God but a particular engagement, and made in answer to prayer. And now I come to the climacteric consideration. As near as I can tell, you were built for a happy eternity, all the disasters which have happened to your nature to le overcome by the blood of the Lamb if you will heartily accept that Christly arrangement. We are all rejoiced at the increase in human longevity. People live, as near as I can observe, about ten years longer than they used to. The modern doc tors do not bleed their patients on all occasions as did the former doctors. In these times if a man had fever they bled him, if he had consumption they bled him, if he had rheumatism they bled him, and if they could not make out exactly what was the matter they hV e untrels I 'WrPWmHHIBTrnerJ'TrT .

Ily the advancement of medical science and the wider acquaintance with the laws of health, and the fact that people know better how to take care of them selves, human life is prolonged. But do yod realize what, after all, is the brevity of our earthly state? In the times when people lived seven hundred and eight hundred years, the patriarch Jacob said his years were few. Look ing at the life of the youngest person in this assembly and supposing he lived to be a nonagenarian, how short the time and soon gone, while banked up in front of us is an eternity so vast that arithmetic- has not figures enough to express its length, or breadth, 'or depth, or height For a happy eternity yon wc!re born unless you run"yourselfagainst the divine in tentions. If standing in your presence, my eye should fall-upon, the fee blent sbul here as that soul will appear when the world lots it up and Heaven en trances it I suppose that I should be o overpowered that I should drop down as one dead. Youihave examined tho family Hible and" explored the famil3 records ami yon. may have da guerro types of some of the kindred of previous generations, you have had photographs taken of what 3011 were in boyhood or girlhood, and what you were ten 3'ears later, anil it is very In teresting to anyone to le able to look back upon pictures of what he was ten, or twenty or thirty yearn ago; but have you ever had a picture taken of what you may be and what you will be if you seek after God and feel the Spirit'i regenerating power? There is 3our soul, so pure that ail the forces of dialolLsm could not spot it with an imperfection. There is your lx-ing. so might3 and so swift that llight from Heaven to Mcrenry or Man or .lupiter and back again to Heaven would not weary you, and a world on each shoulder would not crush you. An eye that shall never shed a tear. An pnerg3' that shall never feel a fatigue. A brow that shall never throb with pain. You are young again, though yon died of decrepitude. You art! well again, though 3ou coughed or shiverwd yourself into the tomb. Your every day associates are tho apostles aud prophets and mart3rs, anil most exalt ed souls masculine and. feminine, of all the centuries The arch angel to you no embarrassment (Iod Himself your present and everlasting 3. That is an instantaneous picture f what you may be, and what I am ure some oi you will he, 11 3011 re iizc thnt it is an imperfect picture, ray pology is what the apostle John snld: "It doth not3et appear what we shall lie." "To this end was 1 lorn." II I diil not think so I would bo over whelmed with melanchol3. The world does very well for a little while, eighty; or 100 or 1.10 years, and I think that human longevity may 3etbe improved up to that prolongation, for now there is so little room between our cradle and our grave we cannot ac complish much, but who would want to dwell in this world for all etcrnltyl Some think this earth will finally be turned into a Heaven. Perhitps it uia3, but it would have to undergo radical repairs and thorough elimina tions and evolutions and revolutions and transformations infinite, to make it desirable for eternal residence. All tho east winds would have to become west winds, and all the winters changed to springtides, nnd the vol- nnoes extinguished, and the oceans hanged to their beds, and the cpl- lemies forbidden entrance, and the world so fixed up that 1 think it would take more to repair the old world than to make an cnircby new one. Hut I must say that I do not care where Heaven is if we can onty get there, whether a gardeni.ed America, or an emparadised Kurope, or a world central to the whole univeise. "To this end was I born." If ench one of us could say that we would go with faces shining and hopes exhilar ant amid earth's worst misfortunes and trials Only a little while and then tho rapture. Only a little while and then the reunion. Onl3 a little while and then the transfiguration. In the seventeenth century all Europe was threatened with a wave of Asiatic barbarism and Vienna was especially lwsieged. The king and his court had fled and nothing could save the city from being overwhelmed unless the king of Poland. John Sobieski, to whom the3 had sent for help, should with his arni3 come down for the relief, and from every roof and tower the inhab itants of Vienna watched and waited and hoped, until on the morning of Septemler 11 the rising sun threw an unusual and unparalleled brilliancy. It was the reflection on the swords and shields and helmets of John Sobieski nnd bis arni3 coming down over tho hills to the rescue, and that day, not only Vienna, but Kurope was saved. And see you not, Oyo souls besieged ith sin and sorrow, that light breaks the swords and the shields and the clmcts of divine rescue bathed in the ising sun of heavenly deliverance? jet ever3thing else go rather than let leaven go.

One reason wh- corn should tie fed to fowls at night during the winter Is that it is one of the ver3 lest materials for making animal heat If the corn stalks can 1m run through a feed cutter thc3' will make a go mI bedding. Otherwise they make fresh manure ver inconvenient to handle, nnd the3 are not a gnd nbsorlieut A Saline count' farmer near Mar shall, Mo., who had never ln-fore used manure on his meadow, did so thi Reason, and he got sixty tons of hay y Oiltting twice oer twelve acres of land. There is no use trying to save a blighted jar tree with any application for that pur'Misi; until all the alfecleil 1 limbs are removed. The same rule at- plies to black knot on plum and cherry , trees. If projM-rly mulched liefore the wenth- ' er gets too cold onions can 1m planted j in the falL One of the principal ad vantages in planting iu the fall is that the work is done, the seed or svts have germinated, and when the season opens J in the spring llwy are re inly to start to grow. The sooner onions are planted in the spring the Wtter. and in many eases by planting iti the fall the3 will get several days to grow earlier than if the p'ant- lug was not done until spring Octnlei Is a good time to do the limiting, al though in a favorablr season the plant ing may be done as late as Novembei with good results. Sometimes a gixxl profit is realized by holding a product after it is fully ready to market for a higher price, but In many cases It proes a loss. one trouble Is that often the farmers hold too long Many farmers dislike to sell on n rising market and iu eonriirtnce hold a little too long.
