TALMAGE IN WISCONSIN.

PRESENT OPPORTUNITY.

somethins for ChrIet.
MADISON, July % Rev. DR.. Talmage
preached this morning at q ChsrSAuqua
assembly on the banks Of Monona lake,
near this city. 1t is great gathering Of
people frcm all parts Of the northwest.
Ills text was Esther iv, IA, who knoweth
whether thou art come to the kingdom for
such - time thisF
Esther the Beautiful was the wife of
Ahasuerus the Abominable The time had
come for her to- present a petition to her in
famous husband IN behalf OF 9he lsraelitish
nation, to which She had once belonged.
She was afraid 60 undertake the work
lest she should lose her own life, but her
Uncle Mordecai, who had brought her up,
encouraged hcr with the suggestion that
probably she had been raised up Of God for
that peculiar mission. WHO knoweth
whether thou art come to the kingdom for
such a time as thisf' Esther had her God
appointed work; you and have ours 1t
is my business 10 tell you what style of
people we ought to be in order that we
may meet the demand Of the age in which
God has cast our lot. If you have come
expecting to hear distractions discussed
o. dry tocluicalities Of religion gloriled,
yJu have come 10 the wrong place; but If
You really would like TO know what this
age has a right to expect Of you as Chris
titn men and women, then | am ready in
the Lord. name TO look you in the face.
When two arnlies have rushed into bat
tie the officers of either army do not want
philosophical discussion about the chemi-
cal properties OF human blood or the ma
Iure Of gunpowder. They want some one
to man the batteries and sWlb out the
gums. And now, when all the forces Of
hight and darkness, of heaven aud hcll,
have plunged into the fight. it is no time
e. give ourselves to the definitions and
formulas and techuicalties and conven-
tionaiites Of religion. What We want is
practical, earnest, concentrated, enthusiasts
tic and triumphant help. What we need
IN the cast you in Wisconsin need.
In the first place. il order to meet the
special demand OF this age you need to be
an unmj>ta&ably aggressive Christian. OF
halt and half Christians we do not want
any more Tbs church Of Jesus Christ
Will be better without ten thousand of

Another kind Of Christian. All the appl-
Au-es for your becoming an earnest Chris

path Tor you into the broad daylight Of
Gods forgiveness. You may have come

yet before yoU go ont OF these doors YOU

The County Fair.

Who is there that does not remem-
Der the " county fair" No ons, unless
some unfortunate who was born
"grown up," or whose childhood
was unhappily cribbed and confined
within city walls. What a gala day
it was when the farmers took a
holiday, the big wagons were loaded
with the children, the "women folks"
and big baskets of lunch, the stores
in the county town we're closed for
the afternoon, and the town folks
turned out, too. The fashion of
much that was simple, genuine and
harmless holiday in our American
life has changed, but the county fair
remains almost the same. The fat
oxen, the enormous perks, the big
pumpkins, the be-ribboned horses,
the sloppy dining halls, the vocifer-
GUS vendors Of pop corn and lemon
ade, the blowing match, the man
with toy balloons, the races in which
3:O8 was great time for a mill-all
these are unchanged. The only diff
ference is that we now get there
largely by rail, and if it is the big
State Fairs we visit, we go by "The
Burlington" The best equipped
railroad, getting tickets of the local
agent or writing to W. J. c. Kenyon,
Gen. Pass. Agent, st. Paul, MINI.

The October issue of the Review
of Reviews pays great respect to the
late James Russell Lowell. It
contains a group OF five original
articles, portraying different phases
of Lowell's character and work.
Prof. j. F. Jameson of Brown Uni
versity writes of Lowell in his rela-
ton to public affairs. Prof. c. T.
Winchester contributes an article on
Lowell as a man of letters. Prof.
R. D. Jones Of Illinois, writes of the
influence that the works of Lowell
have exerted and will yet exert in the
training of the young in the Ameri-
can public school. Mr.. W. T. Stead,
editor of the English edition of the
Review of Reviews, contributes the
principal paper of the series, under
the title, "Lowel's Message and
how it helped me-" These four
papers are followed by an interview
with Lowell, contributed by Mr..
Raymond Blathwayt, an English
journalist who has recently visited
this country and who spent a day
with Lowell at Elmwood shortly be-
fore the poets death. This group OF
papers forms the most noteworthy
contribution upon Lowell that has
anywhere appeared since his death.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
Diseases put together, and until the
last few years vas supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Cattarh to
be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. it acts
directly Upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address
