The latest sermon selected forpubll
ration out of the many delivered In
London by Kcv. T. PowlttTnlmngo wns
entitled, "Our Posssosslons," f rom 1 Cor
lutlituim 111. U2: "All tiro yours." Dr.
'i'uliniigo wild:
Tho Impression In abroad (lint re
ligion put a man on short nllowanco;
that when Iho ship stilling heavenward
f 5mcs to tho shining wharf tt will be
found out that till tho passengers imd
lliu hardest Ictticl of wit fine; that the
Mildlers In Christ' uriny innrcli most of
ifio tlmo with tin empty haversack; In
word, that only those people havo a
pVd time In this world who talto upon
themmilvos no religious obligation.
I wtint to-day to find out whether this
Is bo, and T am golngNo ttiltc ncooutit of
Mock; I hiii going to show what aro tho
Cjirlstlnn's liabilities and what l.s IiIh
Incomu and what aro his warranty
fiords and what arc his bonds and iuort
f,M.?os, and I shall flit il out before I finish
just how much hu Is worth, and I shall
ftprend boforo you tho balance sheet In
time to warn you all against tho religion
of Jesus Christ, If, Indeed, It bo n fail
ure, nnd In tlmo for you all to accept It,
if, Indeed, It bo a success. I turn first
to tho assets, and 1 find thoro what
6oiim to bo a roll of government securl
libs tho empire of Mctiven promising
nil things to tho possessor. Tho three
mull words of my text aro n warranty
lccd to tho whole' unlvorso when it
ftnyfc, "All aro yours."
In making an Inventory of tho Chris
llan'rt possessions I remark, in tho first
1ik!c, that ho owns this world. My
tct'lmpllcs It, and tho preceding verso
nsscrts it "whether Paul or A polios or
Cephas or tho world." Now, it would
Lo an absurd thing to suppose that God
would give to strangers privileges nnd
ndvuittages which ho would deny his
own children. If you havo a largo park,
n grand mansion, beautiful fountains,
fctnlltlng deer and statuary, to whom
wjllyou glvo tho llrst right to nil these
possessions'.' To outsiders? No, to
your own children. Von will May: "It
will bo very well for ou Isidore t6 come
in and walk those paths nnd enjoy this
Inntlscnpo but the first right to my
liousii and tho first right to my statuary,
luu, first right to my gardens', shall bo
In Iho possession of my own children."
Now, this world Is Owl's park nnd
while If0 allows those who aro not Ills
children and who refuse Ills authority
llio privilege of walking through tho
l$raons, the possesion of nil this
tfrAudeur of park nnd mansion In in tho
right of tho Christian tho flowers, tho
diamonds, tho silver, the gold, tho
Morning brightness and tho evening
lmdow. The Christian may not have
lho title deed to ono aero of land oh re
corded in tho clerk's ofllce, lie may
never hnvo paid one dollar of taxes, but
lie can go up on n mountain unit look
oft upon fifty miles of grain field and
y, "All this Is mine, my father gave
It to mo." "All uro yours."
A lawyer l.s somotlmos required to
ftcnreh titles, and the client who thinks
lie hns a good right to tin c:itnto puts
Iho pa pore In his hands, nnd the lawyer
punt Into tho public records and finds
everything right for three or four or
live years back; but after a while ho
coinefl to a break in the title, to n dc
flult, to n diversion of tho property, eo
lie finds out that tho man who supposed
lio owned it owns not tin aero of tho
irroimd, while homebody elso lias tho
full right to tho entlro estate. Now, I
r&iinliio tho title to all earthly posses
tdtms. I go back n little way, nnd I
find that men of tho world bail men,
elfish men, wicked men think thoy
liuvo a right to all these possessions;
)nt I go further back, nnd I traco tho
lt(tfrom year to year, nnd from con
lury. to century, until I find tho wholo
right vested in Ood. Now, to whom
lid Ho glvo it? To His own children!
""Are nil yours."
Tho slmplo fact Is, that In tho last
flays of tho world, all tho architecture,
Kll tho cities, nil tho mountains, all tho
tyliagca will be in the possession of tho
Church of Christ "Tho mock bliall in
lierlt tho onrtV Ship of Turshish
ball bring parents. "Tho earth Is tho
fiord's and the fullness thereof." "All
nvo yqurs." "Hut," you nay, "what
watiKfuetlon Is there In that when I
haven't possession of them." Those
AulngH will come lieforo the Kuproiue
Judge of tho universe, nnd Ho will
regulate tho title, and Ho will eject
iheso squatters upon the proporty that
loc3.not belong to them, and it shall
lw found that "AH tiro yours."
So again, tho refinements of lifo aro
lliu Clirlstlnu'srlght Ho has a right to
s' good apparel, to us beautiful adorn
ments, to ns commodious u residence ns
Hie worldling. Bhow mo nny puw-ugo
In the Iliblo Mint tolls the people of Uio
world they havo privileges, they have
glittering spheres, they havo befitting
npparel that aro. denied tho Christian.
There in no ono who has so much a right
tdjuugh, none so much u right toevery
thing that is, beautiful, ami grand, nnd
Mibllluo In lifo ns the Christian. "All
nro your," Can It bo possible that ono
wb,o'1STCokloss nnd sinful, and has no
treasures luld up In Heaven, la to lie al
lowed pleasures which tho sons and
datighters of God, tho owner of tho
whtijp universe, nro denied?
'So, I remark that all tho sweet sounds
of. Uio world aro In the Christian's right
L'heru are people who have an Idea that
instrument of music tiro inappropriate
for tho CJirislinn's parlor. When did
tho houso of sin or the bacchanal got
tho rjght t6 music Thoy havo no right
to ,H, God, iu my text, make over to
ClifLstl.-iu people all tho pianos, all the
li:n-s nil tho drums, all tho cornels, nil
(ho flutes, till the organs. 1'eoplo of
tlio world-may borrow thoni, but they
orAy borrpty thouu, thoy havo no right
or. tltlo (b them. God gnto llieiu to
Clirktlan-people In my text when ho
j.aW; "All .uraypurs."
David no mure,, certainly owned thu
harp with which ho thrummed tho
praises of Ood thnn tho church of Christ
owns now all the chants, nil anthems,
ull Ivory keylwiirds, all organ dlapasonH,
nnd Ood will gather up these sweet
sounds after uwhlla and ho will inlnglo
them In one great harmony, and the
Mcndelssohns and tho Bccthovnns and
tho Moznrts of the earth will join their
voices and their musical Instruments,
and soft south wind and loud lunged
euroclydon will sweep tho great organ
pipes, and you shall see God's hand
striking tho keys and Ood's foot tramp
ing tho pedals In the great oratorio of
the ages.
So ull artistic and literary advantages
nro In the Christian's right. I do not
care on whoso wall tho picture bungs
or on whoso pedestal tho sculntmv
stands It belongs to Christians. The
Ilicrstndts nnd tho churches aro all
working for us. "All tiro yours." Tho
Luxembourgs, the Louvre, all tho gal
lories of Naples, and Koine, and Vonleo
they uro till to come Into thu posses
sion of tho church of Jesus Christ. We
may not now have them on our walls,
but the tlmo Will como when tho writ
of ejectment will bo served and tho
church possess everything. All parks,
all ilhh-pontls, all colors, till harvests
all, "all nro yours."
Secondly, I remark that the right to
full temporal support Is In tho Chris
tian's name. It Is n great affair to feed
tho world. Just think of tho fact that,
this morning, 1,000,000,000 of our race
breakfasted ut Ood's table! The com
missary department of 100,000 men In
an army will engage scores of people;
but just think of n commissary depart
ment ol a world! Tlitnlc of tho gather
ing up from the rlco swamps, and tho
ten fields nnd tho orchards and tho fish
eries! No ono but Ood could toll how
many bushels It would take to feed five
continents.
Then to clothe nil these peoplo how
many furs must bo captured, and how
much flax broke it and how much cotton
picked. Just think of tho Infinite ward
robe where 1,000,000,000 people get their
clothes. Ood sprends tho table first of
all for Ills own children. Of eourho that
would be a very selfish man who would
not allow other people to come and sit
at his table sometimes; but, first of all,
the right Is given to Christian people,
and therefore it l.s extreme folly for
them over to fret about food or raiment.
Who fed the whales sporting olt Cape
Hatteras this morning? Out of
whose hand did tho cormorant
pick Its food? Whoso loom
wove the butterfly's wing? Who
hears tho hawk's cry? If Ood takes
caro of a walrus, and a Siberian dog,
and wasp, will Ho not take care of yon?
Will a father have more regard for rep
tiles than for bin sons and daughters?
If Ood clothes tho grizzly bear, and the
panther, and tho hyena, will Ho not
clotho Ills own children? Come, then,
this morning and get tho key of the In
finite storehouse. Como and got tho
key of tho Infinite wardrobe. Hero
they aro all tho keys. "All aro
yours." So ull the vicissitudes of this
life, so far as they havo any relig
ious profit, nre in tho right of tho Chris
tian. If you should stand along tho
Allegheny mountains, especially near
what Is called tho "Horseshoe," you
would have a train of ears ultuost
doubling on Itself, and sitting in tho
back car you see u locomotive coming
as you look out of the window, nnd you
think It Is another train when It is only
tho front of the train In which you aro
riding; ami sometimes you can hardly
toll whether tho train is going toward
Pittsburgh or toward Philadelphia, but
it is on the track, and it will reach the
depot for which It started, unci nil the
passengers will bo discharged ut the
right place.
Now, there aro a great "many sharp
curves iu life. Sometimes we scorn to
be going this wuy, and sometimes we
seem to bo going thut way; but if wo
are Christians wo aro on the right track
and we are going to como out at the
right plnce. Do not get worried, then,
about the sharp curve.
A hailing vessel starts from New York
for Glasgow. Does It go In a straight
lino? O, no. It changes Its truck every
little while. Now, you say: "This ves
sel, instead of going to Glasgow, must
bo going to Havre, or It is going to
Hamburg, or it is going to Marseilles."
No, no. It Is (rolntr to Ghisirow. And
In this voyage of Hfo wo often hav to
change our truok. Ono storm blows us
this wny, und another storm blows us
that way; but Ho who holds tho winds
In his fist will bring us Into a haven of
everlasting rest just at tho right time.
Do not worry, then, if you have to
ohange tack.
Ono of tho best things that ever hap
pened to Paul was being thrown off his
horse. One of tho best things that over
happened to Joseph was being thrown
Into tho pit. Tho losing of his physical
eyesight helped John Milton to sco the
battle of the angels. Ono of tho best
things that over happened to Iguatlus
was being thrown to the wild beasts In
the Coliseum, and while 80,000 people
were jeering tit his religion ho walked
up to tho llereest of all tho lions and
looked him in tho eye, as much as to
say: "Hero I nm, ready to be devoured
for Christ's sake." All things work to
gether for your good. If you walk
tho desert the manna will fall nml tlm
sea will part. If tho feverish torch of
siouiiess is kindled over your pillow bv
its light you can read the promises. If
tho waves of trouble dush high alwvo
your girdle, across tho blast und across
the surge you can hear tho promise,
"When thou passest through the waters
I will bo with thee." You never owned
a glove, or a shoe, or n hat, or a. coat
more certainly than you own all tho
frets, and unnoyances. and exaspera
tions of this life and they are Iniund to
work out your present and oternul good.

I go further, nnd tell you that thu
Christian owns not only this world, but
no owns tlio next world. No chasm to
bo leaped, no tlesert to bo crossed,
Thero is the wall; there is tho
gate of Heaven. Ho owns
nil on this side. Now, I nm going to
show you that ho owns all on tho other
side. Death is not a rulllan that comes
down to burn us outof house und homo, j
destroying tho houso of tho tabernacle,
so unit wo should bo homeless forovor.
O, no! Ho Is only a black messongei
who comes to toll us it is tlmo to movet
to tell us to get out of this hut nnd go
up Into the palace. The Christian owns
ull Heaven. "All aro yours." Its pal
aces of beauty, Its towers of
strength, its castles of love. Ho
will not walk In tho Eternal
City as a foreigner In a strango city,
but as n farmer walks over his own
premises. "All nro yours." All the
mansions yours. Angels your compan
ions. Trees of Hfo your shade. Hills
of Iflory your lookout. Thrones of
Heaven the placo where you will shout
tho triumph. Jesus Is yours. Ood In
yours. You look up Into the face of
Ood nnd say, "My Father." You look '
up Into tho face of Jesus nnd say, "My
Ilrntlier." Walk out on the battle
ments of Heaven und look off upon tho
cUy of tho sun. No tears. No sorrow.
No denth. No smoke of tolling ware
house curling on the air. No voice of
blashemy thrilling through that bright,
clear, Sabbath morning. No din of
strife jarring tho tilr. Then take out
your deed und remember that from
thronu to throne, nnd from wall to wall,
und from horizon to horizon, "All nro

Then get up into the temple of tho

THE WORLD'S WHEAT.
figure Clnlntlnjr In Kliotr n Connldnrdbl
MiortHRc.
Kansas Citv. .Mo.. July 8a The in
formation now available relative. to tho
wheat crops of the worltl indicates that
the aggregate of supplies will bo less
this j-ear than last.
Itcinetnbering tho scnsutlonnl predic
tions of world-wide famine that wero
made by many crop statisticians a year
ago, this statement will probably bo
doubted my many. Hut It Is novortho
Icht. true, and unless tho estimates of
crops in various countries are mate
rially changed between now and
hnrvest time, the netual conditions of
supply nml demand will justify u high
er average value for wheat during tho
year 1802-0.J tlitin tho conditions justi
fied during tho crop year which has
just ended.
This year Hitssla promises to liuvo
fiiirwhontoropsnnd moderate ryo crops.
Hut tho Increase in the vlelds will not
bo avallnble to go on the markets of
the world.
Official reports covering three-fourths
of the Indian crop have been published.
They show a crop 53,000,000 bushels less
than that of last year. India's entire
exports last year were 67,000,000 bush
els nnd that was tho greatest year's ex
portation In the history of tho country.
Out of this yrur's short wheat crop
nearly 20,000,000 bushels havo ulready
been shipped.
The crop of Australasia Is r.,000,000
bushels less than lust yeer nnd very
Httlo wheat Is going forward from that
country to Europe.
The English wheat crop, according
to late issues of the Liverpool Corn
Trade News, a standard authority, will
bo 13,000,000 bushels less than last year.
The ncrcago of wheat In the United
Kingdom is 7 to 10 per cent, below that
of last year, and iu somo districts tho
harvest will bo very light.
Tho highest estimate of the wheat
crop of this country, based on the June
percentages of condition reported by
the statistician of tho agricultural de
partment, Is 522,000,000 bushels. Tho
Cincinnati Price Current estimates tho
crop to be r,or, 000,000 bushels, with the
chances favoring less rather than more
than these figures. Tho probabilities
nre that Kansas will rulso more than
she is given credit for. Hut
throughout the slutes of the cen
tral west tho harvest Is turning out
short of the early promises. It Is al
most certain, therefore, that the crop
of this country will not exceed .Y.'O.OOO.
000 bushels. That is 1)1,000,000 bushels
less than last year.
The total increase over last year's
crops in countries more favored is 7U
000,003 bushels, to offset n decrease of
100,000,000 bushels in countries whoso
crops aro less than Inst year.

STOCK ITEMS.
Cattle, no more than nny other clawi
of stock, will thrive best ou one kind of
feed.
Full 'ceding of sweet, wholesome
food, adopted to growth rather than
fat, Is most desirable.
It nhvnys pays to handle the sows suf
ficiently in lrrin lt.,, rrnntl.. Tf nviv
be necessary to handle them sometimes.
When tho sows nro put to breeding
ns early nnd as often as nature will re
spond, 111 development Is the Inevitable
result.
The pg9 intended for exhibitions this
fall should be separated from the rest
of tho herd nnd bo given special care
and feed
Do not breed for more fall pigs than
can bo wintered over to a good adrant
ngc. They must bo kept growing all
winter.
Care must Iks taken not to change the
food of a sow that is suckling too sud
denly, as such a course is liable to pro
duco scours.
Ono reason why mutton has remained
poor In quality Is that too many farm
ers do not keep tho breeds of sheep that
mako tho best mutton.
Vnlunblo lambs will nlways pay for
wiu ocst possible attention and feed,
and tho little dctnlls of management
should be carefully looked!
At tho outside the pig that is farrowed
in March shpuld bo ready to market not
later than December. Wintering over
a spring pig Is usually unprofitable.
Give sheep at least a fair chance. On
tho avcrugo farm it Is as necessary as
the cow, tho horso or tho hog in utiliz
ing tho farm products to tho best ad
vantage. When not too fnr from market, with
proper management tho raising of early
lambs can bo mado profitable. But to
securo the best profit it is necessary to
arrange in udvance. Ono important
item is the selection nnd breeding of
tho ewes. These should bo well ma
tured, vigorous and thrifty.
During tho summer, in mnnv cases, is
tho best tlmo to market sheep. Old
cows are another class of stock that, n
n rule, it Is not profitable to feed grain
in order to fatten for market They
should Iw put In as good condition as
possible with good pasturage and then
marketed. Hut in nearly all cases with
young cattle nnd hogs it will pay to
finish with good feeding on n fattening
ration for nt least a short tlmo before
sending to market
It is only in exceptional cases 'that it
will Iw liest to fatten any kind of stock
during the next six weeks or two
months. Ono of tho essential items in
fattening stock of nny kind is to havo
them comfortable, and this cannot nl
ways bo done to tho best advnntogo ut
this time. An animal may readily be
kept in good thrifty condition in sum
mer, but if made fat is certain to suf
fer more or less from the heat and of
course will do as well as It should.
FARM NOTES.
Markets nnd nrlera mnnnt K rrruA
enough to bring good times to tbe
farmer that bus nothing to sell.
With nearly all products, If tho farm
er succeeds In producing the best quali
ty, he docs not want for customers.
Soiho trees need very llttlo pruning
nfter they get fairly started to grow
iug; this is especially true of tho cherry.
With apples, peaches nnd pears es
pecially, it will always pay to carefully
sort before packing ami shipping to
market.
It Is the fowls that molt early thai
mako tho liest layers during tho winter.
They must fully recover from tho ef
fects of molting before they will lay.
Because seed bearing is tho heaviest
draft on tho vitality of tho plants, many
consider it best to cut off tho blossoms
on the potato vines as a means of in
creasing tho yield.
Hot weather, with occasional wet,
starts dlarrlmia in chickens. As a pre
ventive mix chalk with tho food occa
sionally and give boiled milk as a first
drink in thu morning.
Wiien fruit is plenty and prices low
too many nre careless nbout saving
what may bo considered tlio lower
grades, nnd often a considerable loss is
occasioned in consequence.
Much fruit that cannot bo marketed
to an advantage can often bu made Into
elder and lu this way often Iw sold with
profit Generally oply what cannot bo
used in uny other wuy with profit should
bo fed to tho stock.
When soed N to bo saved caro should
bo taken to gather In good season, to
dry thoroughly and to store where ver
miu will not destroy. Only tho best
should bo saved; garden seed Is too
cheap to uso anything but tlio best
Ono advantage with buckwheat Is '
that It will mako a fair growth on land
too thin to grow a fair cron of anything
else. For this reason It is ono of the
very best crops to sow to help build up
the fertility. It makes a quick growth,
and from Its nature and habit of mak
ing a spreading growth will furnish a
considerable quantity of material to
plow under, nnd In many cases can be
used to good advantage in this way.
Business habits, such as exactness,
promptness, a watchful eye as to profit
and loss, etc., makes tho business man
a success In most cases when ho at
tempts farming In earnest When ho
docs not succeed it is duo usually to
some neglect of details, or to a loss of
lirtcrest in the work. But business
habits nre always a great help, and
somo day tho farmer may bo obliged to
havo a business training before belo
allowed to manage a farm.
Note.
With hogs, no difference how good
the pasturage, some grain or rich slop
csn always be fed with profit This,
way lie oaU, shlpstnff, barley, oUraeal,
eornmeat or a combination of two or
three of thoso made into u good slop
with skim milk. Lot It stand twolvo
hours, taking caro not to allow It to get
too sour.
Houses, roosts, coops, nests, eto.,
should bo kept thoroughly oloan und
disinfected. If neglecU'd disease ana
vermin will run riot Cleanse tho wu
tor dishes every day and, refill thro
times n Jay with .resit, coci wntor.
