If they do not receive this care they will probably suffer from sore heels, a disease showing that cl wing the pores of the skin has poisoned the blood, and which, like blood poisoning in human beings, is much more easily prevented than cured. Animals With Young. Farm stock, mares, cows or ewes, bcariDg young will need extra care and feed from now until their young are dropped. It is not best that breeding stock shall be fattened; but their appetite will improve, showing the demand which nature makes for maturing the fretus. The food, however, should include plenty of ffesh and bone-forming material, and less of that whose only use is to fatten. Good Seed. (iood seed bring good crops, and good crops mean good prices and large profits. Cheap seeds are dear at any price, and should not be planted under any circumstances It pays to patronize well known and reliable seedmen and to try new varieties from time to time, as of late years there has been a great improve ment in staple vegetable productions. tas of •Thought. To Protect Sitting Hens Against Lice. A good way to keep liens free frem lice while sitting is to put two or tluee tobacco leaves ill their nests, the fumes of which will speedily drive out the vermin if they are infested with them. This is the best and only use for tlie weed. Anntlitr good plan is to sprinkle sulphur liberally through their feathers Peanut Flour. The value of the peanut crop of this country for the current year is estimated at-$3,000,000. An exchange says that ”tlie Virginians are turning the peanut into Hour, and say it makes a peculiarly palatable ‘biscuit.’ There is a custom in Georgia of grinding or pounding the peanuts and turning them into pastry, which resembles botli in looks and taste, that made .. of cocoannt, but it is more oily, iidler and, we vantage and capabilities may be turned to the Leisure Time. From some well conceived remarks in the Golden itule, addressed to farmers as to plan ning for their crops, we make the following extract: “The spring work that is properly thought out is begun in t'ue only right way A farmer who drifts into the year's work with no plan is no wiser than a general who starts on a cam paign without a plan, or a lawyer who goes in to court without looking over his cases. “There is too much impromptu statesman ship, touch-and-go legislation, happy-go-lucky financiering and haphazard farming in this country. A little leisure in which to think is the most valu *blc time in the year to a man who lias any equ pinout for the business and is not too lazy to improve it. Thinking is the hardest work done in the world. It pays the best. It is the most commonly shirked.” What is Farming? It is something more than staying on a farm. It is sometimes more than skimming the soil. It is more than selling hay or potatoes, and bulky crops un-aiuimalized. Farming is a business, a profession, a practical and scien tific operation. The processes of nature must be understood, if not in their technical terms and language, in that sensible understanding, that common sense way, that their own ad Affection is certain deformity.—Blair. Children have more need of models than of critics.—Joubert. He who rales must hamor fall as much as he commands.—George Eliot. Circumstances are the rulers .of the weak; they are but the instruments of the wise.— Samuel Loner. True benevolence is to love all men. Re compense injury with justice, and kindness with kindness.—Confucius. The truest wisdom is a resolute determina tion.—Napoleon. It is more from carelessness about the truth, ihan from international lying, that there is so much falsehood in the world.—Johnson. A drop of ink may make a million think.— Byron. The pain of life but sweetens death; the hardest labor brings the soundest sleep.—Al bert Smith. A true man never frets about his place in the world, but just slides into it byjthe gravi tation of his nature, and swings there as easi ly as a star.—Chapin. Let our prayers, like the ancient sacrifices, ascend morning and evening. Let our days begin and end with God.—C/tanning. If temperance prevails, then education can prevail; if temperance fails, then education must fail.—Horace Mann. One may say, generally, that no deeply- rooted tendency was ever extirpated by ad verse argument. Not having originally been founded on argument, it cannot be destroyed by logic.—G. II. Leices. Some people have no perspective in their conscience. Their moral convictions are the same on ail subjects. They are like a reader who speaks every word with equal emphasis. —Beecher. Shall we repine at a little misplaced charity, we who could no way foresee the effect—when an all-knowing, all-wise Being showers down every day his benefits on the unthankful and undeserving?—A tterbury. Woman’s necessity is to lose herself—to give herself away. If she is hindered from doing this, in the sweet and utter forgetfulness of a noble and unthwarted affection, her next im pulse is to self-sacrifice.—Mrs. Whitney. Christians are like the several flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other’s roots, whereby’ they are jointly nourished, and become nour ishes of each other.—llunyan. Many facts concur to show that we must look deeper for our salvation than to steam, photographs, balloons or astronomy. These tools have some questionable properties. Th-y are re-agents. Machinery is aggressive. The weaver becomes a web, the machinist a ma chine. if you do not use the tools, they use you. All tools are in one sense edge tools, and dangerous. A mail builds a fine house; and now lie has a master, and a task for life; he is to furnish, watch, show it and keep it in re pair the rest of his days.—Emerson. door after him, and I aaid then: ‘I will change, I will never swear again, I will never drink Curious acts, think, better in every way.' Locating an Orchard. If an orchard is to be planted in the Spring it is impo Hant to secure a good location. The small trM*s should not be placed where they will become unsightly, as they grow larger. Often a line prospect is destroyed by putting an orchard in front of the house. Hut in the rear of farm buiidings, especially on the wind ward side, an orchard i* invaluable as a wind break. The barns, corn crib and pigstye should also be placed in rear of dwellings, that the manure may be more convenient to the orchard than t»any other pait of the farm, and also that the orchard may be used for a pig run during the season of fruiting. _ -i less tin Value of ShesF/ 1 “‘“ttj'gjF'”' best account. The lawyer works by law and precedent; the physician works by symptoms and indications; the merchant by rules and observations; the mechanic by measures and capacities. The farmer must work by all— by lilies, laws, observation and experiment, lie must be a skilled workman in the produc tive, operative and commercial circles in which his business lies, and his sphere of circulation extends. White-washing Trees. During a session of a Nurserymen’s meeting m Hochester, New York, Professor Meehan gave a full lecture on “the bark of trees and its functions,” illustrated with specimens of the bark of different trees. He alluded to the disputed question whether white-washing the stems of trees assisted or injured growth. I hose who objected to white-washing main- Nearly 40,000 doctors have been graduated from the various medical colleges during the last ten years. Germany has 28,000 miles of underground telegraph wires and France 7200, all in success ful operation. Our country is bigger than China. We have •’*,00 J,000 square miles, and China has only 2,000,000. The British Medical .Journal reports a case of poisoning from the accidental swallowing of a piece of ai aniline pencil.

Brooklyn, January 30.—At the Tabernacle this morning, the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmagc, 1). 1)., baptized by emersion a number of per sons who preferred that m <e, as, on the Sun day previous, he had baptized by sprinkling those who so desired. I’rofessor Browne, the organist, rendered the Sonata in C minor by Rheinberger. The opening hymn, sung by the whole congregation, was that beginning: “O happy day that fixed my choice On Thee my Saviour and my God. After reading another list of those who dur ing the week had united with the church I)r. 1 almage discussed the subject: “Is the Chris tian Religion a Cheat?” His text was: “He made his arrows bright, he consulted with im ages, he lopkjd in the liver.” Ezekiel 31:15. The preacher said: Two modes of divination by which the king of Babylon proposed to find the will of God. He took a bundle of arrows, put them together, mixed them up, then pulled forth one, ami by the inscription on it decided what city he should first assault. Then an animal was slain, and by the lighter or darker color of the liver, the brighter or darker prospect of suc cess was inferred. That is the meaning of the text: “lie made his arrows bright he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.” Stupid delusion! And yet all the ages have been filled with delusions. It seems as if the world loves to be hoodwinked, the delusion of the text only a specimen of a vast number of deceits practiced upon the human nice. Ill the latter part of the last century, Johanna South- cote came forth pretending to have divine power, made prophecies, had chapels built in her honor, and one hundred thousand disciples came forth to follow her. About five years | again, I will never gamble again;' and, gentle men, by the help of God I have kept those three vows to this time. I soon after that be came a Christian, and that decided my fate for time and for eternity.” Another captive of this great Christian de lusion! There goes Saul of Tarsus on horse back at full gallop. Where is he goinj? To destroy Christians. He wants no better play- spell than to stand and watch the hats and coats of the murderers who are massacreing God s children. There goes the same mail. This time he is afoot. Where is lie going now? Going on the road to Ostia to die for Christ. They tried to whip it out of him; they tried to scare it out of him; they thought they would give him enough of it by putting him into a windowless dungeon and keeping him on small diet, and denying him a cloak, and condemn ing him as a criminal, and howling at him through the street. But they could not freeze it out of him, and they could not sweat it out of him, and they could not pound it out of him, so they tried the surgi ry of the sword, and one summer day in Go he was decapitated. Per haps the mightiest intellect of the (>,000 years of the world’s existence hoodwinked, cheated, cajoled, duped by the Christian religion. Ah! that is the remarkable thing about this delusion of Christianity—it overpowers the strongest intellects. Gather the critics, secular ani re ligious, of this century together and put a vote to them as to which is the greatest book ever written, and by large majority they will say, 1 aradise Lost.” Who wrote “Paradise Lost.*’ One of the fools who believed in this Bible, John Milton. Benjamin Franklin sur rendered to this delusion, if you may judge from the letter that he wrote to Thomas Paine begging him to destroy the “Age of Reason” in manuscript and never let it go into type, and writing afterward, in his old days; “Of this Jt sus of Nazareth I have to say that the system of morals he left and the religion he lias given us are the best things the world has ever seen or is likely to see.” Patrick Henry, the elec tric champion of liberty, enslaved by this de lusion, so that hesays: “The book worth all other books put together is the Bible.” Ben- jainiu Bush, the leading physiologist and anat omist of his day, the great medical scientist, what did he say ? ‘ The only true and perfect religion is Christianity.” Isaac Newton, the leading philosopher of his time—what did he say? That man surrendering to this delusion of the Christian religion, crying out: “The sublimest philosophy on earth is the philoso phy of the Gospel.” David Brewster, at the pronunciation of whose name every scientist the world over bows his head, David Brewster say ng: “O! this religion has been a great light to me—a very great light all my days.” President Thiers, the great French statesman, acknowledging that he prayed when he said: “I invoke the Lord God, in whom I am glad to believe.” David Livingstone, able to conquer the lion, able to conquer the panther, able to conquer the savage, yet conquered by this de lusion, this hallucination, this great swindle of the ages, so when they find him dead tiey find him on his knees. William E. Gladstone, the strongest intellect in England to-day, unable t j resist this chimera, this fallacy, this delu sion of the (’hr is tian religion, goes 10 the house of God every Sabbath, and often, at the invi tation of the rector, reads the prayers to the people.

The Delphic oracle deceived vast multitudes of people; the Pythoness seated in the temple of Apollo uttering a crazy jargon from which the people guessed their individual or national fortunes or misfortunes. The utterances were of sucli a nature that you could read them any way you wanted to read them. A general going fortli to battle, consulted tbe Delphic oracle, and he wanted to find out whether he was going to be safe in the battle, or killed in tbe battle, and tbe answer came forth from the I Jelpbic oracle in such words that, if you put the comma before the word “never,” it means one thing, and if yon put tbe comma after the word “never,” it means another tiling just opposite.

To give you ail idea of the value of sheep as fertilizers, I will state my experience Last fall I turned sixty head of sheep on sixteen acres of land, half of which was hazel brush. 1 turned these sheep on in September and pastured them un til the first of December. By this time, at a short distance off, the field presented the ap pearance of having been plowed and harrowed —the neighbors all saying, “ If ou have killed your meadow.” The following July of that i ear I cut from that meadow two and one half tons to the acre. Previous 1o turning my sheep on it I never went over one ton to the acre. I say sheep pay, and the man that stays with them will never regret it —Sheep Breeder. Watering in Hot Weather. Many people suppose that attention twice a ,1-iv i morning and evening) is sufficient for pot- plants; but in hot, parching weather this is by },o me ins enough. I have known places where there were stated times for watering, and, no ma ter what the weather was like, none was done at any other period of the day; hut the highest excel ence in the culture of plants in imto can never be attained when a Irani and fast rule is laid down and adhered to in this matter. It is not only that, when watering is •lone At Tegular stated intervals, plants do not »Wl watered when they need it—hut they fre quently get it when they do not require it, and if a plant is watered only an hour or two be fore it becomes sufficiently dry to absolutely need this attention, it will never make roots so freely as when watered at the right moment.

While it may not pay to plant forest trees for profit in high priced land, or in land which — I„ readily cultivated, there are many acres Which can be made to pay well-planted in timber trees, and the molt desirable kind on the 'ist considering the time required to pro duce cash returns, is the chestnut as it is not only valuable for th: limber, for fencing purposes, but will produce good crops of nuts, which always command good and ready sale in our large cities. The grafted chestnut, the Spanish variety produces fruit earlier and finer than the common sweet or American chestnut, the price of the nut reaching some times in yaars of scarcity of this crep. The grafted chestnut is, however, of much slower growth than the common variety and does net produce as desirable or as large quantities of timber. Neglected Fields. Nearly every farm has fields which have re ceived less manure than other fields because of their distance from where the manure is stored or heaped. The result is that these fields de teriorate every year and become profitless if notan expense. Now, such fields at a low valuation lock up too much capital, and the owners would be gainers by selling off such and uve the proceeds in improving the remain der of the farm. The time lost on long hauls of manure would he better employed if expended on better preparation and tillage of the fields cultivated. In this connection we would remark that we have and propose to utilize some facts bearing on intensive farming which are quite interest ing, and, if well studied when presented, must result in much benefit to our farmer readers. and bind together the bundles of ceils anil vessels whieli constitute the woody stem, and as the tree increases in size, its efforts are to throw off this useless portion—some by up right excrescences, as in the oak, anil many other trees; others horizontally, as in the beech, birch and cherry; others again in flat scales, as in the butloii-wood; all are attempts of nature to throw off useless matter. The lesson to be derived from these facts is to help nature, by slitting the bark of hide-bonnd trees, and white washing to destroy insects, and this application would not close pores which did not exist. A Neglected Crop. It would be better for us if we considered manure made on the farm as a crop; and it is strange that we do not do so, for it i* a pro duct of the farm and lias a money value as much as com or hay or cotton. When we once consider manure as a crop, we will take just as much pride in making a big crop of manure as of corn; and we will no more allow part of the manure crop to go to waste, than we would part of the wheat or hay crop. Generally but little can be charged against tlie production of the manure crop; all the cost is often the ex pense of harvest ng (gathering and storing), this i r >p. On tlie most fertile farms this crop is worth to the farmer several times tlie cost of harvesting it. And it is the greatest won der of our farming taat we do not start out in the fall with a determination to make a better manmre crop than our neighbor, as we start out in the spring with a determination to make a better oat, potato or tobaoco crop. The cleanly man will harvest a large manure crop, hecaase he will gather up all refuse ind put it ill the compost heap. He will have clean stables, clean barns, clean yards—a clean farm; and cleanliness is the preserver of health. Thus we see that while the wheat or potato crop supplies strength and energy, the manure crop, closely gathered and well kept, prevents the agents of disease from stealing away that strength, l’ride in the manure crop goeth be fore wealtli and health. Save the Waste and Make Your Own Fertilizer. For the benefit of all who cultivate any ground at all—a small patch or thousand acre plantation—we present the following formulas for composting the refuse and waste material about farms or smaller premises. The first three of them were recommended by Dr. Jones, formerly Commissioner of Agriculture for Georgia, and the last (fourth one) that pre pared by the late lamented Farish C. Furman, and used by him with such wonderfully profi table results. As the practice of intensive farming is being more extensively practiced every year, we cannot too strongly urge our farmer-readers to save the formulas and com post their own fertilizers, according to direc tions: 1. Where the ingredients have bten pre served from the weather: Stable manure, 730 pounds; Cotton seed, green, 750 pounds; Acid Phosphate, or dissolved bone, 500 pounds;— 2,000 pounds. 2. Where the ingredients have been ex posed : Lot manure, 000 pounds; Cotton seed, 000 pounds; Acid Phosphate or dissolved bone, 600 pounds; Sulphate of Ammonia, 60 pounds; Kainite, 140 pounds,—2,0*10 pounds. 3. For more a sandy land: Stable manure, 700 pounds; Cotton seed, green, 700 pounds Superphosphate, 500 pounds; Kainit, 100 lbs.; —2,000 pounds. 4.—furman’s formula.

A recent wr.ter in the American Machinist goes for the lusible plugs in boilers. He says that they will by tlie action of heat become hard and fail to melt, and that they sometimes become covered by mud and melt slowly, when some one is hauled up for carrying low- water. Dr. James Davies states, in the Therapeutic Gazette, that the Driidic college of the twelfth money oi me i>oitu, v*icn tue ux»u», i©»vmi©©» eeuiUry considered tannin'tlie most potent of all the products of nature in producing sterili ty, and that tea drinking, as practised by the public, undoubtedly acts in the same direction. A famous dog trainer educates his dogs by simply talking to them. He uses neither sugar nor whip, but tries to make the dog under stand what he is to do. He then performs the trick himself and the dogs feilow and imitate him. It i» estimated that the material contained in the Chinese wall would build a wall areund the world six feet high and two feet thick.

A doctor in St. Louis explains the necessity for having two ears* by the fact that sound is always heard more distinctly by iwe ear than by the other, and in- this way it is located. A. man with but one ear can hear just as well as a man with two, but ae cannot locate sound.

Goethe, a leading skeptic, was so wrought upon by this Christianity that in a weak mo ment he cried out: “My belief in the Bible has saved me in my literary and moral life.” Rousseau, one of the most eloquent champions of infidelity spending his whole life warring against Christianity, cries out. “The majesty of the Scriptures amase me.” Altamont, the notorious infidel, and would have been safe against this declusion of the Christian religion. < Hi, no. After talkii g against Christianity all his days, in the last hours he cried out: “1 >h.

Aud so in all ages, there have been necromancies, incantations, witchcrafts, sorceries, magical arts, enchantments, divina tions and delusions. The one of the text was only a specimen of that which has been trails piring in all ages of the world. None ot these delusions accomplished any good. They de- ceived, they pauperized the people, they m-re as cruel as they were absurd. They ojened no hospitals, they healed no wounds, they wiped away na tears, they emaciated no serf doin.

The manufacture of agricultural implements in the United States is a very extensive indus try.

Ekit no. In his hying hoar he begs the Lord* Jesus Christ for mercy. Powerful (Delusion, all conquering delusion, earthquaking delusions of the Christian relig ion, Yea, it goes on, it is so impertinent, and it is so ovebearing, this chimera of the gospel, that having: conquered the great picture gal leries of the world, the old masters and the young masters, as I showed in a former ser mon, it is not satisfied until it has conquerred the music ofi the worid. Look, over the pro gramme of that magnificent musical festival a few years ago in New York and see wl at were the great performances, and learn that the greatest of all the subjects were religious sub jects. What was it one night when three thousand voie-ss were accompanied with a vast number of instrunents? “Israel in Egypt.” Yes. Beethoven deluded until he wrote tlie high mass imJ). Majoi. Haydn deluded with pie, 102,000 have already become the dupes of thig religion-until lie wrote She “Creation.” :his Christian religion, and if tilings go on. as they are now going on, and if the influence of this great hallucination- of the ages cannot be stopped, it will swallow the globe. Supposing, then, that Christianity is the delusion of the centuries, as some have pronounced it, I pro pose this morning to show you what has been accomplished by this- chimera, this fallacy,, this hoax, this swindle of the ages. And in the first place, I remark, that this delusion of the Christian religion has made wonderful transformations of human charater. I will go down the side of any church in Christen lorn, and I will find on either side that aisle those who were once profligate^ pro fane, unclean of speech, and unclean of ac tion, drunken and Tost. But by the power this delusion of the Christian religion they have been completely transformed, and n >w they are kind and amiable and genial and loving and useful. Everybody sees the change. Un der the power of this hallucination they have quit their former associates, and whereas they once found their chief delight among those who gambled and swore and raced horses, now they find their chief joy among those who go to prayer-meetings and churches:, so complete is the delusion. 'Yea, their own families have noticed it—the wife has noticed it, the children have noticed it. The money that went for rum now goes for books and for clothes and for ed ucation. He is a new man. All who know him say there has been a wonderful change. What is the cause of this change? This great hallucination of the Christian religion. There is as much difference between what he is now and what he once was, as between a rose and a nettle, as between a dove and a vulture, as between day and night. Tremendous delu sion! Admiral Farragut, one of the most admired men of the American navy, early became a victim of this Christian delusion, and, seated, not long before his death, at Long Branch, he was giving some friends an account of his early life. He eaid: "Hy father went down in behalf of the United States Government to put an end to Aaron Burr’s rebellion. I was a cabin boy, and went along with him. 1 could swear like an old salt. I could gamble in every style of gambling. I knew all the wickedness there was at tlrat time abroad. One day my father cleared everybody out of the cabin except my self, and locked the door. He said: “David, what are you going to do? What are you go ing to be?” “Well,” I said, “father, lam going to follow the sea.” “Follow the sea! and be a poor, miserable, drunken sailor, kicked and cuffed about the world, and die of a fever in a foreign hospital?” “Oh, no,” I sail, “father, I will not be that; I will tread the quarter deck and command, as you do.” “No, David,” my father said; “no, David, a person that I™ your principles and your bad habits will never tread the quarter-deck or com mand.” My father went out and shut the Handel deluded until he wrote the orat >rios of of “Jephthait” and “Estber”" and “Seal” and “Israel in 3gypt,” and the- “Messiah.” On the closing night three thousand deluded peo ple singing »{ a delusion to eight thousand de luded hearers. Yes, this chimera of the gospel is not satis fied until it goes on and builds itself into the most permanent architecture, so it seems as if the world is never to get tid- of it. What are some of the finest buildings in the world? St. l’aui’s, St. Fetor’s, ttie churches- and cathe drals of ail Christendom. Yes, this imperti nence of the Gospel, this -last delusion is not satisfied until it projects itself, and in one year gives, contributes, •$6,258,000. to- foreign mis sions, the work of which is to- make dunces and fools on the other side of the world—peo ple we have never seen. Deliaied doctors-— two hundred and twenty physicians meeting week by week in London, in the Union Medi cal l’rayer Circle, to worship God. Deluded lawyers—the late Load Cairns, the highest le gal authority in England, the ex-adviser of the throne, spending his vacation in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor people of Scotland. Frederisk T. Fieiinghuysen, once the Secretary of State of the United States, an old-fashioned evangelical Christian, an elder in the Reformed church. John Bright, de luded Quaker. Henry Wilson, the vice-presi dent of the United States, dying a deluded Methodist or Congregationalist. Earl of Km- tore dying a deluded Fresbyterian. The can nibals in South Sea, the Bush men of Terra del Fuego, the wild men of Australia, putting down the knives of their cruelty and clothing themselves in decent apparel—all under the power of this delusion. Judson and Doty and Abeel and Campbell and Williams and the 3,000 missionaries of the cross turning their backs on home and civilization and comfort, and going out amid the squalor of heathenism to relieve it, to save it, to help it, toiling until they dropp id into their graves, oying with no earthly comfort about them, and going into graves with no appropriate epitaph, when they might have lived iu this country, and lived for themselves, and lived luxuriously, and been at last put into brilliant sepulchres. What a delusion! Yes, this delusion of Christian religion shows itself in the fact that it goes to t rose who are in trouble. Now, it is baa enough to cheat a man when he is well, and when he is prosperous; but this religion comes to a man when he is sick, and says: “You will be well again after a while; y tu are going into a land where there are no coughs and no pleurises and no con sumptions and no languishing; take courage and bear up.” Yea, this awful chimera of the gospel comes to the poor and it says to them: “You are on your way to vast estates aud to dividends always declarable.” This delu sion of Christianity comes to the bereft, and it talks of re-union before the throne aud of the cessation of ail sorrow. Aud then to show that this delusion will stop at ab- solntely nothing, it goes to the dying bed and fills the man with anticipations. How much better it would be to have him die with out any more hope than swine and rats and Bnakes. That is all. Nothing more left of “j™- He will never know anything again. Shovel him under! The soul is only a supe rior part of the body, and when the body dis integrates the soul disintegrates. Annihila tion, vacancy, everlasting blank, obliteration. Why not present all that beautiful doctriue to the dying, instead of coming with this hoax, this swindle of the Christian religion, and fill ing i he dying man with anticipations of anoth er life, until some in the last hour have clap ped their hands, and some have shouted and some have sung and some have been so over wrought with joy they could only look ecstatic, l’alace gates opening, they thought; diamond coronets flashing, bands beckoning, orchestras sounding. Little children dying, actually be lieving they saw their departed parents, so that, although the little chil Iren had been so weak and leeble and sick for weeks, they could not turn on their dying pillow, at the last, in a paroxysm of rapture uncontrollable, they sprang to their feet, and shouted, “Moth er, catch me; I am ceming!” And to show the immensity of this delusion, this awful swindle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 1 open a hospital and 1 bring into that hospital the death-bells of a great many Chris tian people, and I take you by the hand this morning, and I walk up and down the wards of that hospital, and 1 ask a few questions. 1 asK: “DyingStephen, what have you to say?” “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” “Dying John Wesley, what have you to say?” “The best of all is, God is with us.” “Dying Ed ward I’ayson, what have you to sajYJ’ “I float in the sea of glory.” “Dj ing John Brad ford, what have you to say?” “If there be any way of going to Heaven on horseback, or in a fiery chariot, it is this.” “Dying Neander, what have you to say?” “I am going to sleep now—good night.” “Dying Mrs. Florence Foster, what have you to say?” “A pilgrim in the valley, but the mountain-tops are all aglearn from peak to peak.” “Dying Alexan der Mather, what have you to say?” “The Lord who has taken care of me fifty years, will not cast me off now; glory be to God and to the lamb! Amen, amen, amen, amen!” “Dying John Powson, after preachiLg the gos pel so many years, what, have you to say?” “My death-bed is a bed of roses.” “Dying Doctor Thomas Scott, what have you to say?” “This is heaven begun. ” “Dying soldier in the last war, what have you to say?” “Boys, I am going to tlie front.” "Dying telegraph operator on the battle field of Virginia, what have you to say?” “The wires are all laid, aud the poles are up from Stony Point to head quarters.” “Dying Paul, what have you to say!” “I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand; I hare fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Thank be unto God who giveth us tlie victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (» my Lord, uiy God, what a delusion, what a glorious de lusion! Submerge me with it, fill my eyes and ears with it, put it under my dying head for a pillow—this delusion—spread it over me for a canopy, put it underneath me for an out spread wing—roll it over me in ocean surges ten thousand fathoms deep! 0, if infidelity, and if atheism, and if annihilation are a reali ty, and the Christian religion is a delusion, give me the delusion! The strong conclusion of every man and wo man in tlie house is that Christianity produc ing such grand results cannot be a delusion. A lie, a cheat, a swinole, an hallucination cannot launch such a glory of the centuries. Your logic ami your common sense convince you that a bad cause cannot produce an illustrious result; out of the womb of such a monster no sucli angel can be born. There are many in this house tliis morning, in the galleries and oil the main floor, who began with thinking that the Christian religion was a stupid farce, j who have come to tlie contusion that it is a reality. Why are you here to-day? Why did you sing this song? Why did you bow your bead ill the opening prayer? Why did you bring your family with you? Why, when I tell you of tbe ending of all trials in the bosom of God, do there stand tears in youreyes—not tears oi grief, but tears of joy such as stand in the eyes of home-sick children far away at school when some one talks to them about go ing home? Why is it that you can be so cal al ly submissive to tbe death of your loved one, about whose departure you once were so angry and so rebellious-. There is something tlie matter with you. All your friends have found out there is a great change. And if some of you would give your experience you would give it in scholarly style, and others giving ’yut2.e:2pwin5io5i.--f.a>-H.-ai«- - >«-*Lto»<5—--j but, the one experience would be jus-, as good as tbe other. Some of you have read every thing. You are scientific aud you are scholar ly, and ytt, if I should ask you, “What is tbe most sensible thing you-ever did?” you would say: “Tbe most sensible thing I ever did was to give my heart to God.” But there may be others here who have not had early advantages, and if they were asked 11 give their experience, they might rise and give such testimony as the man gave in a prayer-meeting, when he said, “On my way here to-night, I met a man who asked me where 1 was going.” I said, “I am going to pray-er-meeting.” lie said. “There are a good many religions, and I think the most of them are delasions; as to the Christian religion, that is only a notion, that is a mere notion, the Christian religion.” I said to him: ‘Stranger, you see that tavern over there!’ ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘I see it.’ ‘Do you see mo?-'' ‘Yes, of course, I see y‘Now, the time was, as everybody in this town knows, that if 1 had a quarter of a dollar in my pocket I could not pass that tavern, without going iu and getting a drink; all the people of Jefferson could not keep me out of that place; but God has changed my heart,, and the Lord Jesus Christ has destroyed my thirst for strong drink, and there is my whole week’s wages, and I have no temptation to go-ia there; and, stranger, if this is a no tion, S want to tell you it is a mighty power ful notion; it is a notion that has put clothes on uiy children’s back, and it is a notion that lias put good food on our table, and it is a no tion that has filled my mouth with thanksgiv ing to liod. And, stranger, you had better go along with me, you miglitgei religion, too; lots of people are getting religion now.” Well, we will soon understand it all. Your life aad mine will soon be over. We will soon come to the last bar of the music, to the last act of tlie tragedy, to the iast page cf tlie book yes, to the last line and to the last wor 1, and to you and to me it wil either be midnouu or •uiduight.
