Joy , " Ii Graphically Portrayed "Thou
Hast Given Mo n South Land. "
The city of Debir was the Boston
of antiquity a great place for brain
and books. Caleb wanted It , and he
offered his daughter Achsah aa a prize
to any one who would capture that
city. It was a strange thing for Caleb
to do ; and yet the nmn that could take
the city would have , at any rate , two
elements of manhood bravery and
patriotism. With Caleb's daughter as
a prize to fight.for , Gen. Othnlel rode
Into the battle. The gates of Deblr
were thundered Into the dust , and the
city of books lay at the feet of the
conquerors. The work done , Othnlel
comes back to claim his bride. Hav
ing conquered the city , It Is no great
job for him to conquer the girl's heart ;
for however faint-hearted a woman
herself may be , she always loves cour
age In a man. I never saw an excep
tion to that. The wedding festivity
having gone by Othnlel and Achsah
are about to go to their new home.
However loudly the cymbals may clash
and the laughter ring , parents are al
ways sad when a fondly cherished
daughter goes off to stay ; and Achsah ,
* the daughter of Caleb , knows that now
. Is the time to ask almost anything she
wants of her father. It seems that
Caleb , the good old man , had given as
a wedding present to his daughter a
piece of land that was mountainous ,
and sloping southward toward the des
erts of Arabia , swept with some very
hot winds. It was called "a south
land. " But Achsah wants an addition
of property ; she wants a piece of land
that Is well watered and fertile. Now
It Is no wonder that Caleb , standing
amid the bridal party , his eyes so
full of tears because she was going
away that he could hardly see her at
all , gives her more than she asks.
She said to him. "Thou hast given
mo a south land ; give me also springs
of water. " And he gave her the upper
springs and the nether springs.
What a suggestive passage ! The
fact Is , that as Caleb , the father , gave
Achsah , the daughter , a south land , so
God gives to us his world. I am very
thankful he has given It to us. But I
am like Achsah In the fact that I want
a larger portion. Trees and flowers
and grass and blue skies are very well
In their places ; but he who has noth-
inir hut this world for a portion has
no portion at all. It Is a mountainous
land , sloping off toward the desert of
Borrow , swept by fiery siroccos ; It Is
"a south land , " a poor portion for
any man that tries to put his trust In
It. What has been your experience ?
What has been the experience of every
man , of every woman that has tried
this world for a portion ? Queen Eliza
beth , amidst the surroundings of pomp ,
Is unhappy because the painter
sketches too minutely the wrinkles on
her face , and she Indignantly cries
out : "You must strike off my like
ness without any shadows ! " Hogarth ,
at the very height of his artistic tri
umph , Is stung almost to death with
chagrin because the painting ho had
dedicated to the king does not seem to
be acceptable , for George II. cried out :
"Who Is this , Hogarth ? Take his
trumpery out of my presence ! " Brins-
ley Sheridan thrllldd the earth with
his eloquence , but had for his last
words , "I am absolutely undone. "
Walter Scott , fumbling around the Ink
stand , trying to write , says to his
daughter : "Oh , take mo back to my
room ; there Is no rest for Sir Walter
but In the grave. " Stephen Glrard ,
the wealthiest man In his day , or , at
any rate , only second In wealth , says :
"I live the life of a galley slave ; when
1 rise In the morning my one effort is
to work so hard that I can sleep when
It gets to be night. " Charles Lamb ,
applauded of all the world , In the very
midst of his literary triumph says :
"Do you remember , Bridget , when we
used to laugh from the shilling gal'
lery at the play ? There are now no
good plays to laugh at from the
boxes. " But why go so far as that ?
Pick me out ten successful world
lings without any religion , and you
know what I mean by successful
worldlings pick mo out ten successful
worldlings , and you cannot find more
than one that looks happy. Care
drags him across the bridge ; care
drags him back. Take your stand at
2 o'clock at the corner of Nassau and
Wall streets , or at the corner of Canal
street and Broadway , and see the ago
nized physiognomies. Your bankers ,
your Insurance men , your Importers ,
your wholesalers , and your retailers ,
as a class as a class , are they happy ?
No. Care dogs their steps ; and , mak
ing no appeal to God for help or com
fort , they are tossed every whither.
How has It been with you , my hearer ?
Are you more contented In the house
of fourteen rooms than you were In
the two rooms you had In a house when
you started ? Have you not had more
care and worrlment since you won that
$50,000 than you did before ? Some of
the poorest men I have ever known
have been those of great fortune. A
man of small means may be put In
great business straits , but the ghast
liest of all embarrassments Is that o"
the man who has large estates. The
men who commit suicide because o
monetary losses arc those who canno
bear the burden of any more , because
they have only a hundred thousand
left.

On Bowling Green , New Vork , there
is a house where Talleyrand used to
go. He was a favored man. All th
world know him , and he had woaltl
almost unlimited ; yet at the close o
his life ho says : "Behold , eighty
three years have passed without anj
practical result , save fatigue of body
and fatigue of mind , great discourage
ment for the future and great dlsgiut
'or the past. " Oh , my friends , this Is
'a south land , " and It slopes off toward
deserts of sorrows ; and the prayer
which Achsah made to her father
aleb we make this day to our Father
God : "Thou hast given me a south
land ; give me also springs of water.
And ho gave them the upper springs
and the nether springs. "
Blessed be Godl Wo have more ad
vantage given us than we can really
appreciate. Wo have spiritual bless
ings offered to us In this world which
shall call the nether springs , and
glories in the world to como which I
shall call the upper springs.
Where shall I find words enough
threaded with light to set forth the
pleasure of religion ? David , unable
to describe It in words , played It on a
harp. Mrs. Hemano , not finding
enough power In prose , sings that
praise In canto. Christopher Wren ,
unable to describe It In language ,
sprung It Into the arches of St. Paul's.
John Bunyan , unable to present It In
ordinary phraseology , takes all the
fascination of allegory. Handel , with
ordinary music unable to reach the
height of the theme , rounds It up in an
oratorio. Oh , there Is no life on earth
so happy as a really Christian life. I
do not mean a sham Christian life ,
but a real Christian life. Where there
Is a thorn there Is a whole garland of
roses. Where there Is one groan there
are throe doxologles. Where there Is
ono day of cloud there Is a whole sea
son of sunshine. Take the humblest
Christian man that you know angels
of God canopy him with their white
wings ; the lightnings of heaven art !
his armed allies ; the Lord Is his Shep
herd , picking out for him green pas
tures by still waters ; If he walk forth ,
heaven Is his bodyguard ; If ho sit down
to food , his plain table blooms Into
the king's banquet. Men say : "Look
at that old fellow with the worn-out
coat. " The angels of God cry : "Lift
up your heads , ye everlasting gates ,
and let him como In ! " Fastidious
people cry : "Get off my front steps ;
the doorkeepers of heaven cry : "Come ,
you blessed of my Father , Inherit the
kingdom ! " When He comes to die ,
though he may bo carried out In a
pine box to the potter's field , to that
potter's field the chariots of Christ will
como down and the cavalcade will
crowd all the boulevards of heaven.
I bless Christ for the present satis
faction of religion. It makes a man
all right with reference to the past ; It
makes man all right with reference to
the future. Oh , these nether springs
of comfort ! They are perennial. The
foundntlnn nf God standeth euro hav
ing this seal , "The Lord knoweth them
that are His. " "The mountains shall
depart and the hills be removed , but
My kindness shall not depart from
thee ; neither shall the covenant of my
peace be removed , salth the Lord , who
hath mercy upon them. " Oh , cluster
of diamonds set In burnished gold !
Oh , nether springs of comfort bursting
through all the valleys of trial and
tribulation ! When you sec , you of ths
world , what satisfaction there Is on
earth in religion , do you not thirst
after It as the daughter of Caleb
thirsted after the water springs ? It
Is no stagnant pond , scummed over
with malaria , but springs of water
leaping from the Rock of Ages ! Take
up one cup of that spring water , and
across the top of the chalice will float
the delicate shadows of the heavenly
wall , the yellow Jasper , the green of
emerald , the blue of sardonyx , the fire
of jacinth.
I wish I could make you understand
the joy religion Is to some of us. It
makes a man happy while he lives ,
and glad when he dies. With two feet
upon a chair and bursting with drop
sies , I heard an old man In the poorhouse -
house cry out : "Bless the Lord , oh ,
my soul ! " I looked around and said :
"Whhr hna this man cot to thank God
for ? " It makes the lame man leap
like the hart , the dumb sing. They
say that the old Puritan religion is a
julceless and joyless religion ; but I
remember reading Dr. Goodwin , the
celebrated Puritan , who In his last mo
ments said : "Is this dying ? Why ,
my bow abides In strength ! I am
swallowed up In God. " "Her ways of
pleasantness , and all her paths are
peace. ' ' Oh , you who have been trying
to satisfy yourselves with the "south
land" of this world , do you not feel
that you would , this morning , like to
have access to the nether springs of
spiritual comfort ? Would you not like
to have Jesus Christ bend over your
cradle and bless your table and heal
your wounds , and strew flowers of
consolation all up and down the graves
of your dead ?
'Tls religion that can give
Sweetest pleasures while wo live ;
'Tls religion can supply
Sweetest comfort when we die.
But I have something better to tell
you , suggested by my text. It seems
that old Father Caleb on the wedding
day of his daughter wanted to make
her just as happy as possible. Though
Othnlel was taking her away , and his
heart was almost broken because she
was going , yet he gives her a "south
land" ; not only that , but the upper
springs. O God , my Father , I thank
Thee that Thou hast given me a "south
land" In this world , and the nether
spring of spiritual comfort In this
world ; but , more than all , I thank
thee for the upper springs In heaven.
It Is very fortunate we cannot see
heaven until wo get Into It. Oh. Chris
tian man , If you could see what a
place It Is , we would never get you
hack again to the office or store or
shop , and the duties you ought to per
form would go neglected. I am glad
I shall not ECO that world until I enter
It. Suppose we were ahowed to go on
an excursion into that good land with
the Idea o' returning. When wo got
there and heard the song and looked
at their raptured faces , and mingled
in thi- supernal society , wo would cry
out : "Let us stay ! Wo nro coming
hero anyhow , why take the trouble
of going back again to that old world ?
Wo nre hero now ; let us stay. " And It
would take angelic violence to put us
out of that world if we once got there.
But as people who cannot afford to
pay for an eUprtaltunout sometimes
como around it and look through the
door ajar , or through the openings In
the fence , so wo coma and look
through the crevices in that good land
which God has provided for us. Wo
can Just catch a glimpse of it. Wo
como near enough to hear the rum
bling of. the eternal orchestra , though
not near enough to know who blows
the cornet or who fingers the harp.
My soul spreads out both wings and
claps them In triumph at the thought
of those upper springs. Ono of them
breaks from beneath the throne ; an
other breaks forth from beneath the
altar of the temple ; another at the
door of "tho house of many man
sions. " Upper springs of gladness !
Upper springs of light ! Upper
springs of love ! It Is no fancy
of mine. "Tho Lamb which Is in the
midst of the throne shall lead them to
living fountains of water. " Oh , Savior
dlvlno , roll in upon our souls one of
those anticipated rarturcs ! Pour
around the roots of the parched
tongue ono drop of that liquid life !
Toss before our vision those fountains
of God , ralnbowcd with eternal vic
tory. Hear it. They nro never sick
there ; not so much as n headache or
twinge rheumatic , or thrust neuralgic
The Inhabitant never says : "I am
sick. " They are never tired there.
Flight to farthest world Is only the
play of a holiday. They never sin
there. It Is as easy for them to bo
holy as It Is for us to sin. They never
die there. You might go through all
the outskirts of the great city and find
not one place where the ground was
broken for a grave. The eyesight of
the redeemed Is never blurred with
tears. There Is health In every check
There is spring In every foot. Thnro
Is majesty on every brow. There Is
joy in every heart. There Is hosanna
on every lip. now they must pity u
as they look over and down and see
us , and say : "Poor things , away down
In that worlJ. " And when some Chris
tian Is hurled Into a fatal accident ,
they cry : "Good ! H0 is coming ! '
And when wo stand around the couch
of some loved ono ( whoso strength Is
going away ) and we shako our heads
forebodingly , they cry : "I am glad ho
Is worse ; ho has been , down there long
enough. There , ho Is dead ! Como
homo ! Como home ! " Oh , if wo could
milv rrnf niir Mono nhniit Mint fntnro
world untwisted our thought of trans
fer from hero to there would bo as
pleasant to us as It was to a little
child that was dying. She said : "Papa ,
when will I go homo ? " And ho said :
"To-day , Florence. " "To-day ? So
soon ? I am so glnd ! "
I wish I could stimulate you with
these thoughts , oh , Christian nmn , to
the highest possible exhilaration. The
day of your deliverance Is coming , is
coming. It Is rolling on with the
shining wheels of the day and the Jet
wheels of the night. Every thump of
the heart Is only a hammer stroke
striking off another chain of clay.
Better scour the deck and cell the
rope , the harbor Is only six miles
away. Jesus will come down In the
"Narrows" to meet you. Now Is your
salvation nearer than when you be
lieved.
Unforglven man , unpardoned man ,
will you not maKe a choice between
these two portions between the "south
land" of this world , which slopes to
the desert , and this glorious land
which thy Father offers thee , running
with eternal water courses ? Why let
your tongue bo consumed with thirst
when there nro the nether springs and
the upper springs , comfort hero , and
crlnrv horonftor ?
Let me tell you , my dear brother ,
that the silliest and wickedest thins a
man ever does is to reject Jesus Christ.
The loss of the soul is a mistake that
cannot be corrected. It is a downfall
that knows no alleviation ; It Is a ruin
that Is remediless ; it Is a sickness that
has no medicament ; It Is n grave into
which a man goes but never comes
out. Therefore , putting my hand on
your shoulder as a brother puts his
hand on the shoulder of a brother , I
say this day , be manly , and surrender
your heart to Christ. You have been
long enough serving the world ; now
begin to servo the Lord who bought
you. You have tried long enough to
carry these burdens ; let Jesus Christ
put His shoulder under your burden.
Do I hear any ono In the audience say ,
"I mean to attend to that after awhile ;
it is not Just the time ? " It is the
time , for the simple reason that you
are sure of no other ; and God sends
you hero this morning , and Ho sent
me here to comfort you with this
message ; and you must hour now that
Christ died to save your soul , and that
If you want to be saved you may bo
saved. "Whosoever will , let him come. "
You will never find any more conveni
ent season than this. Some of you
have been waiting ten , twenty , thirty ,
forty , fifty and sixty years. On some
of you the snow has fallen. I see it
on your brow , and yet you have not
attended to those duties which belong
to the very springtime of life , it is
September with you now , It Is October
with you , It Is December with you. I
am no alarmist. I simply know this :
If a man does not repent In this world
he never repents at all , and that now
Is the day of salvation. Oh , put off this
matter longer. Do
no not turn your
back on Jesus Christ who comes to
save you , lost you should lose your
soul.

nii In Milk nn.l Cream.
Prof. A. R. Wnrd of the Cornell
Experiment Station , on the subject of
ropy milk and cream , says :
"Roplness in milk la ono of the most
serious troubles milk dealers have to
contend with. This condition , which
Is objectionable more on account of Its
unwholesome appearance than from
any known harmful effect which It pro
duces , has received Us popular desig
nation from the viscid , slimy con
sistency which characterizes the af
fected milk. The cause has been found
to bo the action of certain biictorla ,
and a number of apparently different
species have been described as hav
ing the power of producing the ropy
condition. Among those who have
written on this subject should bo men
tioned Adamctz , I efllor , Gulllobcau
and Marshall. Nevertheless , few dofl-
nlto determinations have been made
concerning the natural habitat of those
particular species of bacteria and the
channels through which they gain entrance -
trance to the milk. Further Informa
tion on those points 1st especially do-
slred in order to successfully combat
the trouble and to prevent Its recur
rence. This trouble , which Is wide
spread and of considerable economic
Importance to milk dealers and butter-
makers , should not bo confused will
the abnormal changes in milk whlcl :
accompany an Inflamed condition ol
the udder frequently called "garget.1
Milk drawn from udders In this con
dltlon Is moro or less thickened by the
presence of pus , or may In addition
contain white , tough solid masses of
casein , which pass through the duct o'
the teat with moro or loss difficulty
Milk In such condition is by some
called ropy , and consequently It bus
been assorted that n diseased condition
of the udder is the cause of nil ropy
milk. The Investigations which have
heretofore been made do not throw
any definite light upon this alleged
cause. They do not suggest a neces
sary dependence upon a diseased con
dition of the udder , although they do
not preclude the possibility of such n
combination. "
After relating several experiences
the professor gives the following con
olnnlnnaf
"Roplness Is a fault of milk which
does not necessarily depend for Us
cause upon the health of the cows. It
la said to bo caused by any ono of sev
eral different species of bacteria. I
have found bacillus lactls vlscosus to
bo. the cause of viscid milk In two dif
ferent creameries. In the two out
breaks investigated the trouble was
found to bo caused by the use of milk
utensils which had not been sufficiently
scalded. The bacteria , remaining In
the cans which had previously con
tained viscid milk , were able to sur
vive the washing and remain nllvo to
infect new quantities of milk. Greater
care In scalding utensils brought the
trouble to an ond. All small utensils
were immersed In boiling water for
three minutes , and the larger cans were
filled to the brim with scalding water
which was allowed to remain for the
eame length of time. A thorough in
vestigation of the sources from which
the bacteria might have cntorod the
milk at the stables and of sources clso-
where , failed to reveal the prenonco of
bacillus lactls vlscosus. Nevertheless ,
from the work of Adamctz , there is
reason to suspect that during warm
weather these particular bacteria get
into the milk from wator. The im
portance of thorough scalding of vos-
which have once contained ronr
milk Is urged upon the consumer as
well as the dealer. Bacteria may read
ily bo transferred from running water
to milk by the agency of mud , which ,
drying upon the udder , may bo dis
lodged during milking. Milk utensils
which have been used for containing
water should bo scalded before using
again for milk. The apparent purity
of water used about a creamery gives
no assurance that It is frco from bac
teria. "

How old must an egg bo to bo
strictly fresh ? Wo would say that that
would dedpend on the weather , says
the Epltomlst. During cold weather
a week old egg will bo strictly fresh ,
but half that tlmo Is all that will bo
allowed during warm weather. Wo
have been asked how to preserve eggs
so aa to keep them fresh from three
to six months. There Is no way that
it can bo done. Unlike wlno , eggs do
not Improve with age. A fresh egg
must be fresh laid or it will not bo
frosh. Packed eggs are sold for such
and can bo readily told by almost uny-
ono. By far too many people pay too
llttlo attention to gathering and sellIng -
Ing their eggs. They seem to think
that the egg from the "new nest" Is as
good as any , or eggs kept for two
weeks are fresh egga. This is not so ,
and when taken to the store or sold ,
it is purely dishonest. During hot
weather eggs ought to reach the con
sumer when not over three days old to
be strictly fresh. As wo have stated
before , we have had some experlenco
in buying eggs from farmers for our
largo retail trade In "fancy" goods.
While we can always rely on eggs from
certain farms , wo look closely at eggs
from probably the next farm. We
were asked the other day if wo didn't
think that a person could rely on get
ting really fresh eggs by offering a
cent or two more than the market
prlco for eggs. Wo answered with an
emphatic no. To illustrate this point :
A certain party near here gets eggs ,
boalde his own , from some dozen
neighbors , giving more for thorn than
ho market price. Ono day ho was
naked by another neighbor , who keeps
v good many hens ( ho Is a progressive
. 'armor of good report ) If ho would
: nko his eggs also. The party said
res. The following ; week , nftor got-
Ing eggs from this now placa a cus
tomer said that several ogga were bad
ind made quite a tlmo about it. The
next time eggs were gotten from this
farm they were tested and several
wop ) found to bo bad , which finished
ho egg trade In that direction. Now
.hl > > farmer would have been highly
nsultcd If ho had been called tils-
lionest , yet ho certainly was. Eggs
must be gathered dally and keep In a
cool , fresh smelling place until sold.
Old eggs or "now nest" eggs should bo
sold as such. They will find a ready
market for culinary purposes , but if
taken to the Btoro they will doubtless
bo sold as "frosh" eggs. Country
'storo" ' eggs nro very uncertain nr

Taking the various countries from

It will be seen thnt the rnnmrkabl

change which has been mentioned it
previous years is still further accontti

us from Franco was 1,011,915 ; last
year it was llttlo moro than half , am
it Is evident that homo and Irish sup

pied by the French , which formerly
commanded a much higher position
than is now the caso. The greater sup
piles of English , and the Iraprovomou

tendency still moro evident In the fu

A turkey hates to get Into her coop
nt night unions It has been moved dur
ing the day , writes Miss E. J. Pine In
"Turkeys and How to Grow them. " If
it Is changed every day she soon regards -
gards It as a safe place to keep her
llttlo family over night. Should It rain
in the night , change It that It may bo
clean for the day. Filth Is a deadly
fee to a young turkey In confinement.
I have always kept my coops on the
ground. An experienced raiser who
has tried floors prefers the ground , as
it is moro natural and healthful. I
think It is a good plan to keep a box
skunk trap sot at night near the coops.
When the turkeys got largo enough to
fly over a stone wall , they will wander
further away , and there Is danger from
hawks and foxes. I keep track of tholr
whereabouts as well as I can , which
takes mo outdoors no moro than is nec
essary for my good health. I have had
them so wild that they have caused mo
considerable trouble , but it was caused
by Introducing now blood through
strange IICIIH Instead of Lhu gobbler.
The latter Is the better way.
Choice and Ordinary Butter. Dairy
men should not forgot that the dis
crimination between choice and ordi
nary grades of butter Is becoming moru
clearly and sharply defined each jear.
It is only the best that Is always In
demand and will sell at good prices
when there Is a surplus of the Inferior
grades , that either are not wanted at
all or else must bo sold at a sacrifice.
Wo can hardly expect that under these
circumstances this order of things will
bo changed or Improved upon ; it Is
merit that Is going to win' , and If the
dairyman expects to como out satisfac
torily at the end of the year , it is of
the greatest Importance that ho start
right. To try and do a llttlo bettor
than ever before should be the watch
word of the day. Progressive Farmer.
Ostrich Eggs. The ostrich lays an
egg every third day. The eggs are
largo , being five to six Inches through
the long diameter , and weigh from
three to five pounds each. The shell
IB usually very thick , sometimes ono
sixteenth of an Inch. The contents
resemble that of a hen's egg , and
amount to forty fluid ounces. The
period of Incubation Is variously given
at from thirty-eight to forty-two days
and doubtless depends upon the vital
ity and development of the chick. The
average In California Is thlrty-nlno
days. The young chick can bo heard
in Its choll days before it appears. It
is sometimes necessary to assist the
chick in breaklne the shell. Ex.
Raise the Quality of Butter. The de
mand In this country Is for a higher-
grade product , and that demand will
grow , and butter-makers must see to
it that the demand is supplied. Those
who do this will get closely in line for
success , while those who fall to do it
will have to fall out of the procession
and got no chance to hang on even to
the tail-end of the band-wagon Elid
