crowd was so dense that many women
tainted and had to be removed Dnring
the service the auditors were raised IN the
highest pitch Of religious feryor and
scenes were enacted such as have NOT been
witnessed since the days Of Whitefield. On
the following Wednesday evening DR. Tai

building in the suburbs of London. PRAYER

Before the sermon DR.. Talmage was en-

quoting hall OF the Crystal palace by 100
distinguished clergymen and laymen of
every denomination and from every con
tinent. even including Australia. A vote

1900 miles and preached in every promi-

He then preached his farewell sermon
and shook hands with hundreds at the
close. This was the second sermon ever
preached in the Crystal palace, the first
having been delivered by Pastor Sturgeon
thirty-fye years ago on the Crimean war
The text selected for today is from Prov
cribs xxx, 2S, "The spider taketh hold with
her hands and is in kings palaces"
Permitted as was few days ago to at
tend the meeting of the British Scientific
association at Edinburgh, found that no
paper read had excited more interest than
that by Rev. DIR. McCook, of America, on
the subject of spiders. 1t seems that my
talented countryman, banished from his
pulpit for a short time by i'll health, had
/ in the fields and forests given himself to
the study OF insects. And surely if it is
not beneath the dignity of God to make
I spiders it is not beneath the dignity OF
man to study them.
THE UNUSUAL ATTRACTS.
We are all watching for phenomena.
/ sky full of stars shining from January to
January calls out not so many remarks as
the blazing OF one meteor. A whole Hook
/ of robins take not so much of our attention
as one laundering bat darling into the
window on a summer eve. Things OF ordi-
nary sound and sight and occurrence
fail to reach us, and yet no grasshopper
ever springs up in our path, no moth ever
dashes into the evening candle, no mote
ever floats in the sunbeam that pours
rhrough the crack in the window shutter,
no barnacle on ships hull, no burr on
chestnut. no limpet clinging to rock, no
rind Of an artichoke but would teach US
lesson if we were not so stupid. God IN
his Bible sets forth for our consideration
The lily. and the snowflake, and the locust,
and the stork's nest. and the kinds foot,
ana tbe aurora borealis, and the ant hills.
One of the sacred writers sitting anna
the mountains sees a hind skipping over
The rocks. The hind has such peculiarly
shaped foot that it can go over .lie s'eeP
est places without falling, ana a. ehe
prophet looks upon that marklns ol .ne
