BROOKLYN, n. Y, June i7-At the ser
vice In the Tabernacle this morning the
Rev. DIR. 7. DE Wilt Talmage took for the
subject ofhis discourse pulpit aud Press
Made Allies" His text was Luke xvi. 8;
"Thc children OF this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of
light" lie said:
Sacred stupidity and solemn incompet.
ency and sanctifcd laziness are here
rebuked by Christ. lie says worldlings
are wider awake for opportunities than
are Christians. Men Of the world grab
occasions while Christian people let the
most valuable occasions drift by unim-
proved. That Is the meaning Of our Lord
when lie says: The children OF this
world are In their generation wiser than
the children Of light"
A marked illustration Of the truth Of that
maxim In the slowness Of the Christian
religion To take possession Of the secular
printing press. The opportunity Is open,
anu has for some time been open. but the
ecclesiastical courts and the churches and
the ministers Of religion are for the most
part allowing the golden opportunity To
pass unimproyed. That the opportunity
Is open declare from the fact that all the
secular newspapers are glad Of any religi.

"Yes, certainly; but that is not the idea.

Ali, how many dear braln-chlldren

He had wept them by the score.
So he vagcly looked about him,
And rcpenting, edged away,
When the editor, uprising,
Pressed the wretched wight to stay;
"Take this seat" The tones were hearty
As he offered his own chair,
And then ran his inky fingers
Through his wild impassioned hair.
While he tossed his awesome caput
With literary style,
And looked down upon the poet
Through meaning sort Of smile.
"You have something there, I fancy,
You would like to have me usc."
At the words thrill of rapture
Tingled to his victims shoes.
"Yes." The quick reply was eager
"Tis birdling, light of wing"
"What's Its name!" the tones grew

And, amid u stationery

The Planter and His Mortgage.

Ihc rice crop suggests tue experience
of lawyer who has had several planters
for clients. II Is poor plantation, he says,
which cannot raise two mortgages year.
The older planters are lavish in expendi-
lures, never figuring on the future, hut
living high In hope of future prosperity.
One planter, however, found Il impossible
to lift his mortgage. and called upon his
lawyer Tor advice. First he presented the
amount Of his mortgage, which called for
5000. Then there were the receipts for
his sales Of rice, which amounted TO $i,.
800. AMER deduciing what need to live
on" said the planter, II am short 1000
necessary to pay of the mortgage"
The lawyer looked at the life bill long
and earnestly, and at last, putting his lin.
ger on one item of $500, asked "what Is
this for :" THAT Is to go to Saratoga,
sir; l never miss trip to Saratoga" An
other $500 item was pointed out, when
the planter Indignantly explained; That,
sir, Is for wines and cigars; people must
live, you know" And Il never occurred
to this man that he could forego Saratoga,
wines and cigars for one year, and thus he
released from debt. There Is new class

for the jealous snarls of the other fellows but we
