THE cRuclFmoN OF CHRIST WAS
AN INFINITE NECESSITY.

If We Say That Any Lesser Sacrifice
Would Have Served. We Charge God
with FoIy-Redeeming Love Is Inf
mite Love-The Deceitful Heart.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-Rev. Dr.. Talmage's
European preaching tour is drawing to
close. During the week he has
preached three or four times in different
cities, following out the programme
already announced, and everywhere
meeting large and enthusiastic audi
ences. This week he speaks at Leeds,
Bradford, Sheffield and Derby. The
subject chosen for today is Useful
Suffering" the text taken being Luke
xiv, 46, 1T beloved Christ to suffer. ="
There have been scholars who have
ventured the assertion that the pains of
our Lord We're unnecessary. Indeed 1t
was shocking waste of tears and blood
and agony, unless some great end We're
to be reached. If men can prove that
10 good result comes of it, then the
character of God is impeached, and the
universe must stand abhorrent and de-
nunciatory at the fact that the Father
allowed the butchery Of his only begot-
ten Son.
We all admire the brave six hundred
men described by Tennyson as dashing
into the conflict when they knew they
must die, and knew at the same time
that ssome one had blunder'd;' but we
are abhorrent of the man who made the
blunder and who caused the sacrifice of
those p:a7e men for no use. But shall
show YOU, if the Lord viii help me. this
morning that for good reasons Christ
went through the torture. In other
words. st beloved Christ to suffer.
In the first place, l remark that
Christ-s decorations We're necessary, be-
cause mans rescue was an impossibility
except by the payment of some great
sacrifice. Outraged law had thundered
against ir'o1 1ity. Man must die unless
substit.... can intercept that death.
Let Gabriel step forth. He refuses. Let
Michael the archangel step forth. He
refuses. No Roman citizen. no Athe-
Man, no Corinthian, no refonner. no
angel volunteered Christ then barred
his heart to the pang. He paid for our
redemption in tears and blood and
wounded feet and scourged shoulders
and torn brow ut is done" Heaven
and earth heard the snap of the prison
bar. Sinai ceased to quake with wrath
the moment that Calvary began TO rock
in cruciLxion Christ had suffered.
OF" says some man, Il don't like
that doctrine of substitution; let every
man bear MS own burdens, and weep
his own tears, and fight his own battles.
Why, my brother, there is vicariouS snf-
: ffeering al - the world. Did not Your
parents suffer for you: Do You not
sometimes suffer Tor Your children:
Does not the patriot suffer for his coun-
try: Did not Grace Darling suffer for
the drowning sailors: Vicarious suffer
ing on all sides. But how insignificant
compared with this scene Of vicarious
suffering.

Reproduction and ln-Breedine.


The reproductive powers of fowls
are lowered by in-breeding, but thei=
size and outward form will be main
tanned, just as it is with cattle. We
have frequently noticed the statement
that to in breed turkeys makes them
delicate and reduces their size. They
are certainly more delicate when in
bred, hut even here measure of in
breeding does not reduce size.
We are strongly inclined to the belief
that size in these birds will be fixed
by in-breeding. If hen over 24lbs.-
be mated with a cock of 4Olbs. un-
related to her, we would expect her
to produce splendid birds, and she
would. But she will be less likely to
produce hens as large from this mat
ing as she would do if mated with her
best son. From her son she is likely
to breed as large hens as herself
This mating, however, is to close il
there be any delicacy; but if they be-
sound, healthy birds there will be no
bad effects, except that it may re-
duce the, number Of eggs. One such.
mating will do no harm if the birds be-
sound, but we think it will do much
good by fixing the desirable character
istics. This is also true in breeding
for fea ther; but would not so further
than one mating With so close rela--
tives. After this we must get entirely
unrelated blood for at least two
matings, after which inbreeding may
be resorted to again.-Farmer's
