You wo a hill calm and still nnd for ages immovable, hut the Ix>rd out of the heavens puts his linger on the top of it, and from itrisa thick and impres sive vapors. “He toi tcheth tho hills, and they smoke!” • Although my jou -ney across the con tinent this summer was for the eighth time, more and more am I impressed with the divine hand in its construction and with its greatness a.u J grandeur, and more and more am I thril led with the fact that, it. is all to LeirrigaU d, glorified and Eden ized. What nchang o from the time when Daniel bster on y under Capitolina hill said to the America m senate in regard to the center of this c< >nt incut and to tho re gions on the Paciflt , const: “What do you want with thisva t, worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of des erts and cactus, cf shifting sands and prairie dogs? To v/b at. use could wo ever put these groat deserts or these great mountains, impenetrable and covered with eternal snow? V- shat can weever hope to do with tho west rn coast, rock bound, chef rless and unint • ting and not a harbor on it? 1 will neve: • vote one cent from the public treasury 1/> place the Pacific coast one inch nearer loskin than it now is.” W hast a mistake V ie great statesman made when Im said tha t.l All who have crossed thoeontinent renlizt. that tho states on the Pacific ocean wi'l h ave quite as grand op portunities ns tho states on the Atlantic, anti all this realm f tom sea to sea to be tho Lonl's cultivated p ossosslon. A Cron* on the Mountain. D<> you know w’ jat in some respects is tho most remnrkn hie thing between tho Atlantic and Pad fie? It is the figure of n cross on a moui: tain in Colorado. It is called tho"Moui it of the Holy Cross.” A horizontal crov* ice filled with perpetual snovi and a per] jondicular crevice filled with, snow, Imt b oth tho horizontal lino and the perpend’, cular line so marked, so bold, so signifies) nt, so unmistakable, that all wl io pass In the daytime within many miles uro comps' Jed to soo it. There aro Romo figures, so mo contours, sortie moun tain appearance s, that you gradually make out after your a Mention is called to them. So a man's face on tho rocks in the White mount alns. So- a maiden’s form cut in tho gn nite of I ho Adirondacks. So a city in tho.moving clouds. Yet you have to look in dor tie > pointing of your friend or guide f ir som< > time before you can see tho similar ty. 1 Jut, the first instant you glance at th is side of tho mountain in Colorado, y< >u cry out: “A cross! A cross!" Do you say that this geological Inscrlpt! on j r:st happens so? No! That crosson tho Colorado mountain is not a human ,<ievi Co or an accident of nature or tho freu kof an earthquake. Tho hand of God cut it there and set it up for tho na tion to look at. Whether set, up in rock before t ho cross of wood was sot up on tho bluff br ck of Jerusalem or sot up at some time sb ice that assassination, I believe the Creator meant, it to suggest tho most nota ble eve nt in all the history of this planet, and ho hung it there over tho heart of this contim mt to indicate that tho only hope for thl s nation is in the cross on which our L .nmannol died. Tho clouds were vocal at our Saviour's birth, tho rocks rent »• his martyrdom, why not tho walls of Col irado bear tho record of the crucifix ion f Fiw t, consider tho immensity of this oontii ental possession. If it were only a small tract of land, capable of nothing bettor than sagebrush and with ability only 1 o support prairie dogs, I should not have much enthusiasm in wanting Christ to ha vo It added t o his dominion Hut its Immi msity and affluence no one can imag ine u nless in Immigrant, wagon or stage coacl i or in rail train of the Union Pacific or t’ io Northern I’acilic or tho Canadian Pad fin or the Southern Pacific lie has trav <rsed it. A Vast Domain. I supposed in my boyhood, from its size on tho map, that California was a few yar Js across, a ridge of land on which one mu st walk cautiously lost ho hit : head j agt dust tho Sierra Nevada ott one side or i fill ,» off into tho Pacific waters on tho ot’ ier. California, the thin slice of land, j as 1 supposed it to bo in lioyhood, I have so and to be larger than all the states of N ow England and all New York state and a 11 Pennsylvania added together, and if J ou add them ingotler their square miles f all far short of California And then all those newborn states of the Union, North and South Dakota, Washington. Montana. Idaho and Wyoming Each state an em pire in size. “But," says someone, “in calculating the immensity of our continental acreage you must remember that vast reaches of our public domain are uncultivated heaps of dry sand, and tho ‘Rad Lands’ of Mon tana and the Great. American Desert.” I am glad you mentioned that. Within 25 years there will not be between the Atlan tic and Pacific coasts 100 miles of land not reclaimed either by farmers’ plow or miners'crowbar. By irrigation, tho wa ters of tho rivers and tho showers of heav en, in what aro called tho rainy season, will bo gathered into great reservoirs and through aqueducts let down where and when tho people want them. Utah is an object lessen. Some parts of that territory which were so barren that a spear of grass could not have been raised there in 100 years aro now rich as Lancaster I county farms of Pennsylvania or Westches ter farms of New York or Somerset ooun- , ty farms of New Jersey. Experiments have proved that ton acres of ground irrt- [ gated from waters gathered in great hy- I drological basins will produce as much as CO acres from the downpour of rain as seen ; in our regions. We have our freshets and our droughts, but in those lands which are to be scientifically irrigated there will j be neither freshets nor droughts. As you take a pitcher and get it full of water, and j then set It on a table and take a drink out ! of it when you are thirsty and never think I of drinking a pitcherful all at once, so Montana and Wyoming and Idaho will catch the rains of their rainy season and take up all the waters of their rivers In great pitchers ot reservoirs and refresh their land whenever they will. The work has already been grandly be gun by the United States government. Over 400 lakes have already been officially taken possession of by the nation for the great enterprise of irrigation. Rivers that have been rolling idly through these re gions, doing nothing on their way to the sea, will lie lassoed and corralled and pen ned up until such time as the farmers need them. Under the same processes the Ohio, the Mississippi and all the other rivers will be taught to behave themselves better, and great basins will be made to catch the surplus of waters in times of freshet and keep them for times of drought The irrigating process by which all the arid lands between tho Atlantic and Pa cific oceans are to be fertilized is no new experiment. Jehovnh'R Throne. It has been going on successfully hun dreds of years in Spain, in China, in In dia, in Russia, in Egypt. About 800,000,- 000 of people ot the earth today are kept alive by food raised on irrigated land. And here we have allowed to lie waste, given up to rattlesnake and bat and prairie dog, lands enough to support whole nations of industrious population. The begun will be consummated. Here and there exceptional lands may he stub born and refuse to yield any wheat or corn from their hard fists, but if the hoe fail to make an impression the miner’s pickax will discover the reason for it and bring up from beneath those unproduc tive surfaces coal and Iron and lead and copjier and silver and gold. Godspeed the geologists and the surveyors, the engi neers and the senatorial commissions, and the capitalists, and the new settlers, and the husbandmen, who put their brain and hand and heart to this transfiguration of th< American continent. “Streams in the desert'” But while I speak of the immensity of tho continent I must remark it is not an immensity of monotone or tameness. The larger some countries are the worse for the world. This continent is not more re markable for its magnitude than for its wonders of construction. Yosemite and the adjoining California regions! Who that has seen them can think of them without having his blood tingle? Trees now staraling there that were old when Christ lived! These monarchs of foliage r< ignvd liefore Casar or Alexander, and the next 1,000 years will not shatter their scepter. They are the masts of the con * tinent, their canvas spread on the winds, while the old ship bears on its way through the ages. That valley of the Yosemite is eight miles long and a half mile wide and 3,000 feet deep. It seems as if it had been the meaning of Omnipotence to crowd into as small a place as possible some of the most stupendous scenery of the world. Some of tho cliffs you do not stop to measure by feet, for they are literally a mile high. Steep so that neither foot of man nor beast ever wall'd them, they stand in everlast ing defiance. If Jehovah has a throne on earth, these are its white pillars. Stand ing down in this great chasm of the val ! D?y, you look up, and yonder is Cathedral ( rock, vast, gloomy minster built for the : silent worship of the mountains. Yonder is Sentinel rock, 3,270 feet high, bold, soli i t.iry, standing guard among the ages, its top seldom touched until a bride one l' Fourth of July mounted it and planted the national standards, and the people flown in tho valley looked up and saw the head of the mountain turbaned with stars and stripes. Yonder are the Three broth ers, 4,000 feet high; Cloud’s rest. North and South dome, and the heights nover captured save I>y tho fiery bayonets of tho thunderstorm. lie Tont hetli the Hills. No pause for tho eyo, no stopping place for tho mind. Mountains hurled on mountains. Mountains in tho wake of mountains. Mountains flanked by moun tains. Mountains split. Mountains ground. Mountains fallen. Mountains triumphant. As though Mont Blanc and tho Adirondacks and Mount Washington wore here uttering themselves in one magnificent chorus of rock and precipice and waterfall. Sifting and dashing through the rocks tho water comes down. Tho Bridal Veil falls so thin you can see tho face of the mountain behind it. Yon der is Yosemite falls, dropping 2,634 feet, 16 times greater descent than that of Ni agara. These waters dashed to death on the rocks, so that the -white spirit of these slain waters ascending in robe of mist seeks the heavens. Yonder is Nevada falls, plunging 700 feet, tho water in ar rows, the water In rocks, tho water in pearls, tho water in amethysts, the water in diamonds. That cascade flings down tho rocks enough jewels to array all the eartli in beauty and rushes on until it drops into a very hell of waters, the smoko of their torment ascending forever and over. But tho most wonderful part of this American continent is the Yellowstone park. My two visits there made upon me an impression that will last forever. Go in b> the Moneida route as wo did this summer and save 250 miles of railroading, your stagecoach taking you through a day of scenery ns captivating and sublime as tho Yellowstone park itsolf. After all poetry has exhausted itself concerning Yellowstone park, and all the Morans and I li'.’rst adts and the other enchanting artists have completed their canvas, there will be ot her revelations to make and other stories of its beauty and wrath, splendor and agony, to bo recited. The Yellowstone park is tho geologist’s paradise. By cheap ening of travel may it become tho nation’s playground ! In some portions of it there seems to bo the anarchy of tho elements. Fire and water, and tho vapor born of that marriage, terrific. Geyser cones or hills of crystal that have been over 5,000 years growing! In places tho earth, throb bing, sobbing, groaning, quaking with aqueous paroxysm. At the expiration of every 65 minutes one of the geysers toss ing e s boiling water 185 feet in the air and thou descending into swinging rain bows. “He toucheth the hills and they smoke.” Caverns of pictured walls large enough for the sepulcher of the human race. Formations of stone In shape and color of calla lily, of heliotrope, of rose, of cowslip, of sunflower and of gladiolus. Sulphur and arsenic and oxide of 'iron, With their delicate pencils, turning the hiiis into a Luxemburg or a Vatican pic ture gallery. The so called Thanatopsis goys -r. < • luisite as the Bryant poem it was 'lamed alter, and Evangeline geyser, lovely as the Longfellow heroine it com- I memorates. Sunrise and Sunset. Wide reaches of stone of intermingled j colors, blue as tho sky, green as the foliage, c: mson as the dahlia, white as the snow, spotted as the leopard, tawny as the lion, grizzly as the bear, in circles, in angles, in stars, in coronets, in stalactites, in stal igmitos. Here and there aro petrified gn.wths, or the dead trees and vegetables of other ages, kept through a process of natural embalmment. In some places wa ters as innocent and smiling as a child making a first attempt to walk from its mother’s lap, and not far off as foaming and f.’enzied and ungovernable as a maniat in struggle with his keepers. But after you have wandered along the geyserite enchantment for days and begin to feel that there can be nothing more of interest to see you suddenly come upon the peroration of all majesty and gran deur, the Grand canyon. It is here that It seems to me—and I speak it with rever ence—Jehovah seems to have surpassed himself. It seems a great gulch let down into the eternities. Hero, hung up and let down and spread abroad, are all the colors of land and sea and sky. Upholstering of the Lord God Almighty. Best work of the Architect of worlds. Sculpturing by the Infinite. Masonry by an Omnipotent trowel. Y’ellow! You never saw yellow I unless you saw it there. Red! You never j saw red unless you saw It there. Violet 1 You never saw violet unless you saw it there. Triumphant banners of color. In a cathedral of basalt, sunrise and sunset ; married by the setting of rainbow ring. Gothic arches, Corinthian capitals and Egyptian basilicas built before human architecture was born. Huge fortifications of granite constructed before war forged its first cannon. Gibraltars and Sevasto pol that never can bo taken. Alhambras, where kings of strength and queens of beauty reigned long before the first earth ly crown was empearled. Thrones on which no one but the King of heaven and earth ever sat. Fount of waters at which the hills are baptlted, while the giant cliffs stand around as sponsors. For thou sands of years before that scene was un veiled to human sight the elements were busy, ami the geysers were hewing away with their hot chisel, and glaciers were pounding with their cold hammers, and hurricanes were cleaving with tfieir light ning strokes, and hailstones giving the finishing touches, and after all these forces of nature had done their best in our cen tury the curtain dropped, and the world had a new and divinely inspired revela tion, the Old Testament written on papy rus. the New Testament written on parch ment and this last Testament written on the rocks. A Hall of Jrulsment. Hanging over one of the cliffs, I looked off until I could not get my breath; then, retreating to a less exposed place, I looked down again. Down there is a pillar of rock that in certain conditions of the at mosphere looks like a pillar of blood. Yonder are 50 feet of emerald on a base of 500 feet of opal. Wall of chalk resting on pedestals of beryl. Turrets of light trem bling on floors darkness. The brown brightening into golden. Snow of crys tal melting into fire of carbuncle. Flam ing red cooling into russet. Cold blue warming into saffron. Dull gray kin dling into solferino. Morning twilight flushing midnight shadows Auroras j crouching emong rocks. Yonder Is an eagle's nest on a shaft of I basalt. Through an eyeglass we see among it the young eagles, but the stout est arm of our group cannot hurl a stone ! near enough to disturb the feathered do mesticity. Yonder are heights that would be chillfd with horror but for the warm robe of forest foliage with which they aro enwrapped. Altars of worship at which i nations might kneel. Domes of chalced ony on temples of porphyry. See all this carnage of color up and down the cliffs. It must have been the battlefield of the war of the elements. Here are all the col ors of tho wall of heaven, neither the sap phire,'nor the chrysolite, nor the topaz, nor the jacinth, nor the amethyst, nor the jasper, nor the 12 gates of 12 pearls want ing. If spirits bound from earth to heav en oiuld pass up byway of this canyon, the dash of heavenly beauty would not be so Civerjsiwering. It would only be from glory to glory. Ascent through such earthly scenery, in which the crystal is so bright, would be fit preparation for the “sea of glass mingled with fire.” ■Standing there in the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone park for the most part we be Id our peace, but after awhile it flashed upon me with such power I could not help brit say to my comrades, “What a hall this would be for the last judgment!” See that mighty cascade with the rainbows at the foot of it. Those waters congealed and transfixed with the agitations of that day, what a place they would make for the shining feet of a Judge of quick and dead! And those rainbows look now like the crowns to be cast at his feet. At the bottom of this great canyon is a floor on which the nations of the earth might stand, and all up and down these galleries of rock the nations of heaven might sit. And what reverberation of archangels’ trumpet there would be through all these ; gorges and from those cavernsand over all i these heights. Why should not the great est of all the days the would shall ever see close amid tho grandest scenery Omnip otence ever built? Christ's Dominion. Oh, the sweep of the American conti nent! Sailing up Pugot sound, its shores so tvild that for 1,500 miles a ship’s prow would touch the shore before its keel touclied tho bottom! On one of my visits I said, “This is tho Mediterranean of America.” Visiting Portland and Tacoma and Seattle and Victoria and Port Towns hend and Vancouver and other cities of tho irorthwest region I thought to myself, “These aro tho Bostons, Now Yorks, Charlestons and Savannahs of the Pacific coast.” But after all this summer’s jour neying and my other journeys westward In other summers, I found that I had seen only a part of the American continent, for Alaska Is as far west of San Francisco as tho coast of Maine is east of it, so that the central city of the American continent is San Francisco. I have said these things about the mag nitude of the continent and given you a few specimens of some of its wonders to let you know the comprehensiveness of Christ’s dominion when he takes posses sion of this continent. Besides that, the salvation of this continent means the sal vation of Asia, for we are only 36 miles from Asia at the northwest. Only Bering straits separates us from Asia, and these will be spanned by a great bridge. The 36 miles of water between these two conti nents are not all deep sea, but have three islands, and there are also shoals which will allow piers for bridges, and for the most of the way the water Is only about 20 fathoms deep. The Americo-Asiatic bridge which will yet span those straits will make America, Asia, Europe and Africa one continent. So, you see, America evaugelized, Asia will be evangelized, Europe taking Asia from one side and America taking It from the other side. Your children will cross that bridge. America and Asia and Eu rope all one, what subtraction from the pangs of seasickness and the prophecies in Revelation will bo fulfilled, “there shall be no more sea.” But do I mean literally that this American continent 11 going to bo all gospolized? I do. Christo pher Columbus, when he went ashord from tho Santa Maria, and his second brother Alonzo, when he wont ashore from the Pinta, and his third brother Vincent, when he went ashore from tho Nina, took possession of this country in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Satan has no more right to this country than I have to your pocketbook, ear him talk on tho roof of the tern p. ■>, where he proposed to give Christ the kingdoms of this world and the glory of them, you might suppose that satan was a great capitalist or that he was loaded up with real estate, when tho old miscreant never owned an acre or an inch of ground on this planet. For that reason I protest against sometbtag I heard and saw this summer and o#ror summers in Montana and Oregon and Wyoming and Idaho and Colorado and California. They have given devilistic names to many places in the west and northwest. Away With Weeds. As soon as you get in Yellowstone park or California you have pointed out to you places cursed with such names as “The Devil’s Slide,” ‘ The Devil’s Kitchen,” “The Devil’s Thumb,” “The Devil’s Pul pit," “The Devil’s Mushpot,’’ “The Dev il’s Teakettle, ” “Tho Devil’s Sawmill,” “The Devil’s Machine Shop,” “The Dev il’s Gate” and so on. Now it is very much needed that geological surveyor or con gressional committee or group of distin guished tourists go through Montana and Wyoming and California and Colorado and give other names to these places. All these regions belong to the Lord and to a Christian nation, and away with such Plutonic nomenclature. But how is this continent to be gospelized? The pulpit and a Christian printing press harnessed to i gether will be the mightiest team for the first plow. Not by the power of cold, formalistic theology, not by ecclesiastical technicalities. I am sick of them, and the world is sick of them. But it will be done by the warm hearted, sympathetic presen tation of tho fact that Christ is ready to pardon all our sins, and heal all our wounds, and save us both for this world and the next. Let your religion of glaciers crack off and fall into the Gulf stream and get melted. Take all your creeds of all denominations and drop out of them all human phraseology and put in only scrip tural phraseology, and you will see how quick the people will jump after them. On the Columbia river we saw the salm on jump clear out of the water indifferent places, I suppose for the purpose of getting the insects. And if when we want to fish for men we could only have the right kind of bait they will spring out above ths flood of their sins and sorrows to reach it. The Young Men’s Christian associations of America will also do part of the work. They are going to take the young men of this nation for God. These institutions seem in better favor with God and man than ever before. Business men and cap italists are awaking to the fact that they can do nothing lietter in the way of living beneficence or in last will and testament than to do what Mr. Marquand did for Brooklyn when he made the Young Men’s Christian palace possible. These institu tions will get our young men all over the land into a stampede for heaven. Thus we will all in some way help on the work, you with your ten talents, I with five, somebody else with three. It is estimated that to Irrigate the arid and desert lands of America as they ought to be irrigated It will cost about >100,000,000 to gather the waters into reservoirs. As much con tribution and effort as that would Irrigate with gospel influences all the waste places of this continent. Let us by prayer and contribution and right living all help to fill the reservoirs. You will carry a bucket, and you a cup, and even a thimbleful would help. And after awhile God wIU i send the floods of mercy so gathered pour- ' ing down oyer all the land, and some of i us on earth and some of us in heaven will ! sing with Isaiah, "In the wilderness wa- ! ters have broken out and streams in the i desert,’’ and with David, “There is a river the streams whereof shall make glad the sight of God.”, Oh, fill up the reservoirs.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17 1898. New Selections. Th wise f! cai.ior.ist is now laying tn her winter st.ck of selections. Wo say i “her” because the masculine elocutionist has become rapidly extinct since the regu lations against lynching were so easily evaded. This has left the business largely in the hands of a few professional women and a large number of promising ama teurs. In a community with as many ' churches as ours it is our proudest boast that lovely woman Is not amenable to re straint in the same degree that ruder man is; hence tho number of uninterrupted re citers. But the coming season offers a pleasing diversion from the prevalent monotony of tho art. A brand new lot of selections, all founded on the war, will be launched upon a patient public. There will be, among others: “The Boy of El Caney.” “ The Dying Marino’ ’ (piano accompani ment). “The Child of Guantanamo.” “The Tale of a Turret.” “The Powder Monkey of the Bomba zeen.” "The Mule of Matanzas” (with imita : tions). “What Captain Philip Said.” “The Bursting of the Dam” (dedicated to Captain Bob Evans). —Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Wanted to Unload. Captain Barnaby of the United States coast survey steamer Blake tells a charac teristic anecdote of Captain Robley D. Evans of the United States battleship lowa. While aboard the Blake at Key West Lieutenant Commander Edward D. Tausig, hydrographic inspector, went j alongside the lowa, which was lying eight I miles off the port. Hailing Captain 1 Evans, who was leaning against a rope life line which had been substituted for the rails removed in case of action, Mr. Tausig asked the doughty commander if he hud any message to send to the depart ment at Washington, as he would leave for there next day. “Tell them for me, Tausig,” said the captain, “that I have a cargo of ammuni tion on board the lowa that I am mighty anxious to be allowed to discharge.” The reply produced a laugh, which was heartily joined in by the bluejackets on the lowa who wore grouped neor the cap tain. Tho message was subsequently de livered, and it was not long after that the cargo of ammunition was being vigorous ly discharged from the lowa. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
