BROOKLYN TABERNACLE.

THE CHURCH OF GOD-sERMON BY THE Rev.
t. DE WITT TALMAGE.
The Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowded with large
audience who mad evidently come thsre in expecta-
ton OF seeing tho celebrated Mr. Kimoai the church
debt raiser, who had appeared there the previous
Sunday. Before beginning tho sermon Mr. Talmago
announced that $43 800 OF the $.2, 500 necss-
sary to pay OF tho church deot had been raised.
Twelve committees. OF two members each, had been
appointed the congregation TO raise the
mainder. The text oil the sermon was from Solomon's
songs, vi. l0-"Fair AS the moon clear the
terrible as an army with banners"
In contrast to Solomon's eulogium Of the glory OF
the Church, SAID Mr.. raImage look ut tho denunca-
tory things tina; are said In our day in regard 10 IT,
soldier be coward does that condeinn the whole
army? Yet there are many In this day illogical
and unfair us to denounce tho entire Church oil God
because here aud there is bad man belonging TO Il.
There are those who say that the Church of God is
not up TO the spirit OF the age In which we live but
tell you the world mas never yet been abc Keep up
with the Church. AS high as God is above man so
hign the Church OF God above all human
institutions From her lamp the best discoveries of
the world have been lighted, while iahdelity and
dscov cries that were about TO be developed. The
world will not 10 up to tho Church OF Christ until in
the day when all merchandise has become honest
merchandise ana all governments free governments,
and there shall como tho milionvoiced shout o.

ashamed to belong TO the Church, Instead OF realizing
the TACT that there Is no honor compared to the honor
of belonging to the Church OF God The Church
Is fair tho moon. Like the moon she has u
borrowed light She gathers up the glory OF tho
Saviours suffering, DEATH resurrection and
and pours that light on palace anu dungeon As the
moon goes through cloud 80 the Church passes .
through all the storms Of tho worlds persecution.
Above the long bowling night OF the worlds wretch

Again say II you were placed in defence Of feeble

you would have some idea OF the terror that will

The Uses of the PhonOgraph.

1t would be indeed difficult to set O.
limit to the uses to which this wonderful
instrument can be put. The discovery
of electricity gave the world first curl
osity, then subject for careful scientific
investigation, and finally an agent that
must be regarded as one of the most
powerful at the disposal of man. Who
can say to what the monograph and like
inventions may bring us ? Investigations
of the effect of the electric current on
metals led to the discovery of the mag
netic coil and of the telephone. The lat
ter most certainly led to the photograph,
and now the inventor of the photograph
has perfected the telephone so that an
utterance scarcely louder than whisper
can be heard through one thousand
miles of wire. More curious still is this
combination. The writer has heard the
photograph speak through the telephone
over hundreds of miles of wire. With
perfected instruments it is, therefore, pos
sible that speech delivered to-day by
one of the orators of the courts or Con-
gress can be repeated fifty years hence
simultaneously in thousand towns and
cities in the United States, word for
word, tone for tone, as it was uttered by
one who had long passed away. Thus
the greatest sentiments, the hottest les
sons, the wisest counsels can be preserv-
ed in the very tones in which they we're
first expressed, and an unbroken chain
OF familiar sounds made to bind the pre-
sent days with those of the ages to
come .-NeV York Herald,

An Ex-Old Maids Advice.

But such marriages as mine are not to
be expected or even hoped for. 1t must
be exceedingly rare for woman of forty
years old to meet man whose age,
taste, habits and position make their
marriage promise of happinesst to both.
Such marriage is to be gratefully re-
ioiced over if it comes, but it is possible
to be happy and useful without it. What
I mean to impress on the girls, when I
write to them, is that they should make
themselves able to stand alone. I'll
quote Margaret Fuller's words on tina
subject to them. With self-support
possible, unhappy marriages will be
prevented, a happy single life will be
made possible, and happy marriage
will be more probable. Concise direc
tions? If l gave any they would be
like this

"him."

earn.

An Imperial NimrOd.

The Cologne Gazette in one of its last
numbers contains curious summary of
the achievements of the German EN-
peror in the hunting field. It seems
that since the year 1919, when, at the
age of twenty-five, the Emperor, then
Prince William of Prussia, began hunt
ing, he kept SchiessliSte shooting
list), in which he entered an accurate
account of the head of game killed by
his own hand. The list, formidable
one, commences with bison or aurochs,
now almost extinct animal, killed in
1869, when hunting in the extensive do
mains of the Prince of Piesz. Next
comes two bears, three wolves, 779 large
and 629 small boars, eleven chamois.
230 stays, 278 red deer, 845 fallow deer,
and 145 does. Of smaller games his
Majesty killed 2,908 hares, thirty-three
rabbits, thirty-nine foxes, eleven bad
gers, $40 pheasants and 1872 cartridges.
The total number of head of game fall
ing under the gun of the German EN-
peror from the commencement of 1919
till the en1 of 1877 sums up 1896, or
roundly 1000, being at the rate of about
100 per annum. His Maiesty's long ca
reer as a sportsman, extending over very
nearly three score years, passed not en-
tirely without accidents. The most
serious of these was one that happened
on the 10th of December, 1919, when
Prince William, in the act of loading
his gun, while hunting with Herr Won
Wulknitz at Lanken, received shot in
the right hand, which necessitated the
amputation of the greater part of the
fore finger. The spot where this acct
dent happened is marked by three trees,
planted in nlemorian1.

Hussam Effendi should have faith in

WHY La IfR


Inc truths OF science ana progressive thought
have always been compelled to batter down the
bulwarks OF prejudice and disbelief, or remain
forever unknown. Why is it that people are 80
reluctant to receive facts that relate directly to
the phenomena Of their existence. Astrono-
mers, upon discovering a star, assign it place
at once, and it is forever fixed. The rule by
which a mathematical problem is once solved
becomes forever an axiom; but no matter how
clearly the principles which govern health and
sickness be demonstrated, some refuse to be-
lieve. DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines, which
are now so generally used, and deservedly pop
ular, were, in their early days, very reluctantly
received by the people. To-day, DIR. Pierces
