True enough! but more certainly than he

We say God guides the stars in their

'sTHE HAMPToNs, Long ISLAND, Sun
day, July 1s.-The Rev. 7. Dewitt Tai
mage, d. D., is continuing his series of
sermons on ''Yoices of Gardens and Fields. !"
His subject to-day was: The Cheap
Sparrow, and the text, Luke xxi, V. 6:
"Are not five sparrows sold for two farth-
ings, and not one of them is forgotten be
fore God?'' Following is the discourse in
fun:
You see the Bible will not be limited in
the choice of symbols. There is hardly a
beast OF bird, or insect, which has not
been called TO illustrate some divine truth
1.-The ox's patience, the ants industry, the
spiders skill, the kinds sure-footedness,
the eagles speed, the doves gentleness,
and even the sparrow's meanncss and in
significance. In Oriental countries none
but the poorest people buy the sparrow
and eat it-sO very little meat is there on
the bones, and 50 very poor is it,
what there is of it. The COM
Portable population would not think
of touching it any more than you would
think of eating bat or n lamprel. Now,
| saws Jesus, if God takes such good care of
| a poor bird that is not worth cent, won I
he care for you, an immortal?
WE ASSOCIATE GOD WITH REVOLUTIONS.
We can see a divine purpose in the discov-
ery of America, in the invention of print
| ing, in the exposure of the gunpOwder
plot, in the cOntrivance of the needle-gun,
in the ruin of an Austrian or NapOlconic
despotism; but how hard it is to see God
in the minute personal affairs OF our lives!
We think of God rs making a record of the
starry host, but cannot realize the Bible
truth that he knows how many hairs are
on our head 1t seems a grand thing that
God provided food for hundreds of thou
sands of ISraelites in the desert; but We
cannot appreciate the truth that, when a
sparrow is hungry God stOOps down and
opens its mouth and putS the seed in. We
are struck with the idea that God fills the
universe with his presence; but cannot
under stand how He encamps in the crys-
tai palace of dcw-drOp, or finds
room to stand, without being crowded,
between the alabaster pillars of a pond
lily. We can see God in the clouds. Can
we see God in these flowers at our feet? We
are apt to place God on some great stage
or to try to do it-eXpecting Him there to
act out His stupendOus projects; but we
forget that the life of a Cromwell, an AL
exander, or Washington. or an archangel
is not more under divine inspection than
your life or mine. Pompey thought there
must be mist over the eyes of God be-
cause He so much favored Caesar. But there
is no such mist.

THE ALAMO IRON WORKS.
An Important Factor in the Maks-up of
Our Prosperous City

The cry of "hard times has long since
ceased to be the watchword of the practical
and successful business men of the country.
Working upon the principle that 'the man
who looses his grip upon business to cry
panic, invariably gets n panic, II only III
imagination" Messrs. IIolmgreen IL Sons,
proprietors of the Alamo Iron Works, have
ever applied themselves to business with
that assiduity which Is a successful barrier
10 the effects of "hard times" Since Holm
green Il Sons assumed proprietorship of this
foundry, its business has grown from almost
wreck to an industry of wonderful magni-
tude, and which Is, today, one among the
most important industrial concerns of this
city.
Pacific railroad, near East Commerce street
The buildings, erected after the plans of the
propretors, though success In plan and
convenience, are, at times, inadequate to
accommodate the increasing demands. n
few figures will be necessary to give the
reader an idea of the working capacity Of
these works. A blast furnace of 5000 pounds
capacity per hour is one important feature,
with foundry 40xs0 feet, a cleaning room
35x4O feet, an Office and store room 20xl5
feet, machine shop DxlOO feet, anu an en-
CINE room 30x40 feet. Here casting In all its
peculiar branches Is done; engines built and
overhauled, and all kinds of machinery re-
paired and adjusted. One of the many
specialties Is the manufacture of artesian
well work and pumping machinery. The
presence of this foundry among US, renders
Il unnecessary to send north or east for
work In their line, but gives all an oppor-
tunity to patronize first-class home indus:
try, thereby keeping large amount OF
money at home that would otherwise be lost
tn the community. Messrs. Holmgreen \
Sons are also manufacturers agents for all
other classes of machinery and supplies per
tanning to their line of business, which they
furnish at factory prices, with freight charges
added.
