WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--In this dis
course DR.. Talmage addresses all Chris
hian workers and describes what he
thinks will be the modes Of preaching the
gospel In the future; text, Romans XII, 7,
"Or ministry. let us wait on our minister
ing"
While I was seated on the piazza Of a
hotel at Lexington, KY, one summer
evening. q gentleman asked me,I"What
do you think of the coming sermonf" l
supposed he was asking me in regard to
beme new discourse Of DR.. Cumming of
London, who sometimes preached star
Ting sermons, and replied, II have not
seen It." But / found out, afterward
that he meant to ask what / thought
would be the characteristics of the COM
ling sermon Of the world, the sermons Of
the future. the word Cumming" a. 4
noun pronounced the same as the word
looming" as an adjective. But my mis-
take suggested to me very important
and practical theme, "The Coming Ser
mon"
Before the world is converted the style
of religious discourse will have to be con-
.verted. You might as well 60 into the
modern Sedan or Gettysburg with bows
and arrows, instead Of rifles and bomb
shells and parks Of artillery, as to expect
to conquer this world for God by the old
styles of exhortation and sermOnology.
jonathan Edwards preached the sermons
most adapted to the age in which he
lived, but II those sermons were preached
now tAey would divide an audience into
two classes--those sound asleep and those
wanting to 80 home.
J But there Is discourse of the future.
Who will preach 1t ! have no idea. In
what part Of the earth 1t will be born l
have no idea. In which denomination Of
guess. That discourse of exhortation may
be born In the country meeting house on
the banks of the st. Lawrence or the
Oregon or the Ohio or the Tombigbee
or the Alabama. The person who shall
deliver 1t may this moment be in cradle
under the shadow of the Sierra Nevadas
or in New England farmhouse or amid
fhe ricefelds of southern savannas, or
this moment there may be some young
man in one Of our theological seminaries,
In the junior or middle or senior class,
shaping that weapon of power, or there
may be coming some new baptism of the
Holy Ghost on the churches, SO that
some Of US who now stand in the watch
towers of Zion, waking to realization Of
our present inefiiciency, may preach it
ourselves. That coming discourse may
not be 80 years off. And let us pray
God that Its arrival may be FASTENED
while ! announce to you what l think
will be the chief characteristics of that
discourse or exhortation when 1t does
ARRIVE, and want to make my remarks
appropriate and suggestive to all classes
Of Christian workers.

OUTLOOK FOR LACROSSE.
Stevens Institute will be Active in
the Indian Sport:

Judging from the unusual activity dis
played this season the old game of la
crosse will receive a big boom this season
in the metropolitan district. A large per-
centage of athletic organizations herea-
bouts will go in for the game on a more
extensive scale thar heretofore. The prin-
cipal exponent of this branch of athletics
will be Stevens Institute, and while those
who have been prominent in the game in
the past nave done much for it, it is ex-
pected that special attention will be given
to the makeup of a swift, clever team to
wear the institutes colors this season.
The candidates are out, hard at prac-
tice, daily, and much promising material
has been brought to light. The develop
ment of this material will be in charge of
competent instructors and when the sea-
son opens on April % a clever aggregation
will have BEEN gotten together.
The first game of the year will bring
the Staten Island Lacrosse and Athletic
Club and Stevens Institute together in a
championship contest on April % at
Staten Island.

A PURE STIMULANT
A Record of Efficiency Witch Has
Never Been Equalled.

OF all preventives of ordinary derange-
ments-Coughs, Colds and Chills, none are
so efficient as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
Or if these have been acquired. there Is
no cure so effective. Scientists endorse
and doctors recommend it for Asthma,
Grip. Bronchitis and Pneumonia. The rea-
son for this is that Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is the only whiskey combining
stimulative. and curative properties. II Is
the only whiskey required by the Govern
ment to af1ix the official stamp-it is taxed
as a medicine, and. therefore acknowledged
as one, not only by the Government, but
by the medical profession as well.
Its adaptation for medical purposes has
been tested thousands and thousands of
times. 1t has never been found want
ing; its efficiency has been attested in
cases innumerable. In no case has it ever
been administered without distinct benefit.
1t is the purest and best of stimulants,
and its use is followed by no ~unfavorable
reaction.

CULTURE AND EDUCATION.
Working Mon OF England Study
History In the Field.

Last summer. while wandering across
| the heights of Edinburgh, L met two
| young Englishmen. They were masters
in an English public school, and were
making a tour through Scotland-though
not alone and not merely for pleasure; for
they acted as leaders of a party. consist
ing of about seventy people. Their travel
ing companions were not rich boys from
Rugby School,, but working men making
their escape for a week from the CRIME
and noise of the town. And now. under
the able guidance of both masters, they
were occupied in viewing the historic
places Of the Scottish kings and the pict-
uresque landscapes of the country of Sir
Walter Scott, amidst a happy variation
of Instruction., conversation, games and
songs. It was a kind of school journey
but Of a larger scale and with a great
purpose in view.
AS I descended from the heights into the
large park of the city, | saw hundreds Of
people grouped, at small intervals, about
several of those speakers who are almost
daily to be found on the Meadows in
the heart of the capital, talking with loud
voices and vigorous gestures There the
atheist speaks next to the de vout Christ
ian; close to these the Jealous adherent OF
the Government sounds its p raises; willis
at his side an anarchist expresses views
and uses terms which. with US, would
bring the Public Prosecutor to the spot
But there, the policeman, ass guardian OF
the peace, walks quietly ami rlg the vari-
Gus groups; and no notice is taken of him
Even the outbursts of the Socialists
against the excrescences of capitalism do
not disturb his equanimity. That also, if
you like, is a school, an opportunity for
the people to hear extre mely divergent
views, in order that they may form their
own opinions.
One who directs his steps upward from
the broad Meadows of the Scotch cap
ital toward the old royal re sidence will
perceive on his way q hu ge building con-
tanning the Public Libra ty, with its 49,
600 volumes, and the Public Reading
Room. The spacious halls of this palatial
building are daily file & wit h an eager
throng of readers, recruited from every
class of society in the city. Farther up,
close to the Scotch royal palai ce, rises the

prospect over town, 1aill and q iurging sea;

regattas on the Hudson such as those
held by the Harlem and Passaic River

The final arrangements will be complet-

LIKED TO SEE FIRES.
So Cornell Burned His Uncle's
Barn--C Confessed to Chief
Murphy.

Marcus Cornell, twenty years old, OF
Branchville, Sussex county, was a~rraigned
before Police Justice Potts In the First
Criminal Court, this morning, and was
turned over to Sheriff Joseph Andrews of
Sussex County, who wants him for arson
committed in Branchville. He was taken
back to Branchville at once.
Feeling in that town has run high over
many incendiaryfires which have occurred
in the last few weeks. Four barns have
been burned to the ground. The last barn
to be destroyed by fire was that of Peter
Smith, CornelPs uncle. Twenty-Five valu-
able cows and two horses We're destoyed
in the flames last Friday night. No clue
to the fire-bug who did the work could be
obtained.
Cornell was not suspected any more
than were many others. Several young
men were watched. Cornell among them.
His connection with the fires first became
established in the minds of the author
tiles when he was seen to leave town last
night on a train for New York, over the
New York, Susquehanna and Western
Railroad.
Sheriff Andrews learned of the disap-
pearance of Cornell almost too late to stop
him. He ~telegraphed to Chief of Police
Murphy to arrest the fugitive on the ar
rival of the train in Jersey City. The Chief
got word to Policeman T. j. Murphy at
the depot just as the train pulled in.
Cornell confessed to Chief Murphy this
morning that he fired his uncle's barn.
He said:,"I went to the barn WREN every
body in%the house was asleep and stuck
some lighted matches in the hay loft. l
then went back to bed without telling my
uncle hat the barn was burned When the
- 1nrr p-oC onn+ IN mr. n nhnuy6 ga H.
cred l went out to see the fire. | don't
what mad me set fire to. the barn. I
it was filed with eattle.p
Cornell said he did not know where ne
was gong when he took tne train for
New York last night. He has. always had
a mania or witnessing fires.
