THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA„ SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 27, U»7
Dr. Ilirt brought into Lakeland, Fla., las*
week a beet that weighed nine pounds aid
measured twenty five inches in circumference,
it will be preserved for the Sub-Tropical.
This year's hop crop in New York State, it
is estimated, will be 100,000 bales. This wdl
ba only about one-half the large crop o ».
The vines arc said to be free from parasites.
If sheep have free access to salt they will
never over eat of it, but if salted occasionally
and given it freely they will eat 100
which provokes unnatural thirst and possib y
injurious effects.
Fall Colts.
Not a few farmers prefer to have coUsfoaled
in the Fall. At this season the mare can ■
better spared fron bard work, and the colt
will have its mother’s milk during a season
when it needs it most, and be weaned when
the green pastures and warm weather will
make the change less injurious.
Milk Value of Stock Feed.
The Iowa Agricultural College hasmadethe
following classification of the relative valu
of different foods, as milk producers. Starting
with 100 pounds of potatoes as giving 10 par
of milk, corn is reckoned oO, timothy oO, bar
ley 55, oats 00, wheat 05, wheat bran .0, clo
ver hay 80, oil meal 145.
Stirring Cream.
In hot weather cream should be sirred a
little every day to prevent the putrilactive
mould which soon sets in if kept quiet It is
for this reason much more difficult to make
good butter with one cow than w * l “ , f
three with which churning has to be done or
ten. The cream kept long loses some of its
butter, as it is eaten out by acid.
Agricultural Schools.
To make successful farmers of the coming
generation the young should be taught the
theories of farming ill schools, as sn advanced
study, which should include the chemistry of
foods, a partial ki.owledge of diseases of ani
mals and the characteristics of stock. Such
will be the state of affairs in the distant future,
as farming, like everything else, is progressive.
A Profitable Wool Clip.
A merino ram at Middlebury, Vt., produced
a weight of twenty-nine pounds and eleven
ounces of fleece from 37(5 days’ growth, al
though the carcass weighed only 100 pounds,
the wool being nearly 30 per cent, that of the
carcass. Another ram, which was sheared of
his sixth fleece, gave thirty-eight and one-half
pounds of unwashed wool.
Clover as a Medicine.
Common red clover made into a tea has a
pleasant reputation in many farming commu
nities as a relief fir sufferers from whoiping-
cough. It is made into a tea by steeping; and
with a little sugar added is uot unpleasant to
drink. It is worth while to gather some and
dry carefully in the shade, so as to retain both
loaves and blossoms. If to be used i□ Winter
it is batter to have the clover saved in good
condition rather than taken indiscriminately
from the mow.
Fodder Pulling.
Leave half an acre to an acre of your best
corn with ths fodder on it, for seed corn, and
see how much bettor it will be for such pur
pose than that from which the blades have
been stripped, and after pulling the com. do
not shuck it until ready to plant in the spring;
the theory being that when you strip the foil-
dt you lose as much in corn as you gain in
forage, and that when you strip off tho shuck
you abstract iu the same way from the ear,
that the shack feeds the corn even after gath
ering, and as a consequence, should uot be ta
ken off until absolutely necessary.
Connecticut Fostering Agriculture.
The Connecticut Legislature appropriated
$(>0,800 for agricultural purposes for the ensu
ing two years, divided as follows: dor the
board of agriculture, $7,000, premiums to ag
ricultural societies, $15,000; State experiment
station, $10,000; State agricultural school, for
running expenses, $10,000; dairy commission
er, including salary, clerk assistants and trav
eling expenses, $5,800 Half of these sums
thus represent the annual income provided for
the purposes specified. A special appropria
tion of $7,000 was made for a laboratory and
$0,000 for a barn at the agricultural school.
This institution cannot accommodate as many
farmers’ sons as v-ish to enter.—Farm and
Home.
A practical farmer-correspondent of the New
Orleans Times-Democrat says that "an excel
lent method of keeping sweet potatoes, ai d
one practiced bv ns, is a house built in the
side of a hill and covered from two to three
feet in depth with earth. It should be dug so
that the earth on the roof should be on a level
with the top of the hill. The roof, supported
by studding, these, with ihe plates and rafters,
may be made A heart pine from the forest or
so ne other lasting wood—the whole covered
with straw and earth, topped with boards or
shingles. A row of bins andjpagsage-way, in
side door in front (which may be a double
one), and ventilator in the rear. A potato-
house ol this description would cost nothing
but the labor, and would last for many years.
The Llama and the Alpaca Coat.
E L Baker, United States Consul at Bue
nos Ayres, in bis monthly report to the De
partment cf State treats in great detail of the
native sheep of the Argentine Republic, its
value and the practicability of introducing them
into this country. He describes the larger
sheep—the Llama and Alpaca, the former of
which attain the height of five feet—as being
animals having many points in common with
the camel, having a neck two or two and a-half
feet long, divided upper and banging lower
lip, and capable of being used as beasts of
burden. The Alpaca is the most valuable of
the South American sheep, on account of its
sc't and abundant woo), the fleece frequently
attaining a length of sixteen inches. Of the
the smaller varieties of sheep the Guanco and
Vienna, the wool of the latter is the most
silkv known, and regarded as the most val
uable in the world, while that of the former is
found to be the best iu the manufacture of hats
and umbrellas. The Guanco runs wild, and
its fleece can only be obtained by the killing
of the animal.
Four Pounds of Butter a Day.
The possibilities of a cow for butter-making
are astonishing. Years ago the cow that would
make one p lunil a day was considered a good
cow. Now we hear that the famous Holstein,
"Clothilde,” since the New York Dairy Show,
in which she came off first best, has been test
ed again, and gave in seven days (>05 pounds
and 14 ounces of milk, which made 28 pounds
and 2 1-4 ounces of butter. This was an aver
age of over ninety-five pounds of milk and over
four pounds of butter daily.
This great milk machine ate daily about
twelve pounds of grain, consisting of two parts
of corn meal, two parts wheat bran, one part
ground oats, with a little oil meal. She had
good pasture and pare water. We can see
that to accomplish such marvelous results her
digestive, assimilative and milk secretive or-
gans most be large, active, powerful. To pos
sess such organs she must have descended
from a long line of ancestors which were bred
expressly to create each organs; in other
words, she belongs to a great milk breed, is a
milk making machine of the most approved
kind. The milk and batter are contained in
the fool which she consumes, and she has a
capacity for eating a large quantity of such
food and for making the most of it .—Rural

Crooming Horses In Hot Weather.
It is to be feared that horses do not get the
grooming they should during this hot weather.
It is not quite so pleasant spending elbow-
grease in removing dirt from a horse now as it
is during cold weather, when the exercise and
the warmth from the animal aro both rather
agreeable than otherwise. Most horses get the
greater part of their erooming in late winter
and early spring while shedding their coats.
But as the failing hair comes off with a part < f
the dirt which it contains, it would seem that
currying and brushing are more important now
when this mode of relief is closed. Horses at
work sweat freely, and, as they are often sur
rounded by clouds of dust, they become full of
particles of dirt. A little ammonia mixed with
the water, and then bunked and sponged
freely with this, will keep the horse in good
condition for sleeping at night, audit will be
ready everyday for a good day’s work, with
no other vacation than t lie needed rest on the
Sabbath, which was made not less lor man’s
brute help than for man himself. If possible
let the horse have a chance to roll freely on
green grass. He will do his own grooming in
hot weather, and will enjoy it, which his at.
tendant might not do if the grooming be done
in the ordinary way.
Cows and WhatTnev Clve Us.
Our American dairy interests are startlingly
enormous. They represent an investment of
nearly five times as much as the entire bank
capital of the country—that is to say, the bank
capital is little less than 071,UOO.OOO, while the
dairy interests amount to more than $3,000,-
000,000.
Of course our readers cannot swallow such
frightful figures in a lump, and we will there
fore arrange them in several smaller, but still
heroic doses.
The number of milch cows is estimated at
21 000,000. They give each an average of 350
gallons of milk annually. This would make an
aggregate milk production of 7,350,000,000 gal
lons, a miniature ocean, a fair sized Niagara.
Four thousand million gallons are used for but
ter, 700,000,000 for cheese, and the remaining
2 480,000.000 pass through the adulterating
hands of the milkman and grocer and down the
throats of (10,000,000 men, women and babies
in the land of freedom.
The quantity of butter manufactured and
used is about 1,350,000,000 pounds, and of
cheese 0,500,000 pounds. The value of our
dairy products for the last twelve months was
nearly $500,000,000. This is $20,000,000 more
than the value of our annual wheat yield, while
it closely approximates that of our corn crop,
which is the most valuable of our farm pro
ducts.
To support this immense dairy herd, 100,-
000,000 acres of pasture land are required,
worth $2,500 000,000. It is easy enough to see
therefore, that the 4,000,000 farmers in this
country are an important element of our na
tional welfare and prosperity.—X. 15 Herald.
A CHAP TEH ON MULES.
What a Jerseyman has to Say About
These Animals Without a Cender.
The mule has been traduced. He has a re
putation lor deviltry which belies his gentle and
lamb-likedisposition. Docility, meekness, and
resignation look out of bis eyes, and bis chief
occupation iu life is to chew brand and corn, and
lick rock salt. At least that is what the man
who runs Bishop’s mule yard in Jersey City
said.
"Now, look a-here, said he, kin you see en-
nything funny 'bout them ere mules? I leave it
to verst if; jou’re a reasonable cutter.”
The mules certainly did look solemn and
dignified, with one exception—and he, she, or
it, in playful sport, was trying to kick the top
rail off the fence.
“There’s fifty o’lhem fine critters here, sir,
an’ ef you wants to buy a good, sound, corn-
fed meule from Kentucky, why, here’s yer
chance. Who buys ern? Everybody. Meu-
les is gittin’s common es huckleberries in the
Shongum Mountains. An whats’ more, they'iu
10 cents-on-evcry-dollar cheaper’n horses. Wy,
there’s 5,000 meules on the Erie Canal, an
more canallers to hear from. They know wliat
meules is, them canallers.”
“What advantages has the mule over the
horse?” We asl^ed.
“Well, in the fust place, the meule never
dies. Did you evi r see a dead meule'.’ Ni! I
thought so. They never breaks their legs goin’
in an off a canal boat, ike a horse. You never
have to clean 'em. They jist go out in the
road an’ roll in the sand, an’ tlieie they are,
says yen, cleaner’n a whistle. ’Sides that,
they kain’t all the time gitting newmonia an’
rewmatics, like a hoise. There’s a 40-year old-
meuie in that stall. He used to telp drag
around an army wagon. Oh, yes; he’s smelt
gun-powder. Sold him twenty-eight years ago
to a farmer out in Sussex county, comes back
here playful as a kitten, an’ wailin’—jist fairly
achin’ for some farmer to buy him, so he can
do a little side hill ploughin’ jist for amuse
ment. lie’s good fer thirty years more afore
he’ll be ready for the glue pot.”
"I thought you said just now that a mule
never dies?”
“Oh, well, of course, that’s figertive’y speak
ing,’ as the preacher says. In course meules
dies once in a while. Everybody wot has life
an’bein’ dies Why, look atold Methusalum!
Didu’t he die? I should remark he did, an was
gathered to his four fathers. Wonder ef they
Itad meules in them days No! Jackasses!
Well, I don’t go back on jackasses. They’m
good enough in Jerusalum. But they hain’t
big enough to pull a horse car, or drag around
a milk wagon, or pull a canal boat, but they’m
relations of meules. Oh, yes; first cousin.”
During this conversation an old black mule,
with drooping tail and an air of dejection, had
been edging arourd, judging from his appear
ance be hap had alongcare-rof useful service,
iniwhich he had patieut’y endured humanity,
and which had taken the agility from his legs
and vigor from his bray. Still, the mule-keep-
er suggested that he be given a little more
room. As there was plenty of space in the
yard, twenty feet more was allotted to the
long-eared veteran, and the narrator rosumed
his monologue.
“Sp ise ye know that if ye tie a brick to a
meule’s tail he caint bray—fact, though, all
same, he’ll open his mouth au’ heave hisself
inside and wheeze like; but he cain’t sing them
loud songs o’ his’n—nixy. Mebbe ye think
meuhs can’t sing! Hey? No that’s j s’, where
ye’re off, stranger. In course they don’t up
North here. It’s t >o cold, giv’s ’em the asniy,
but down South, whar ’balmy breezes blow
sol’ from Ceylon s I’le, as ’twer?—learned that
from my little gal; she goes to Sunday school
t’other side o’ the medders—the meules alius
go to camp metin’ with the niggers, and when
they sing them halleluia songs the meules come
in on the chorus—he, haw, he, haw, there is
somethin’ funny’ bout meules after all. Ha!
ha! Ye mind I was tellin’ ye 'bout tyin’ bricks
on meules’ tails to keep ’em from braying—
well, it’s dang’rous to go among ’em in fly time.
Why? cause flies bite meules, see! An meules
sling them ere bricks round mighty lively, now
I tell ye. Air’s jist fnll of bricks an’ tails.
What! going? well so long stranger. Cum agin,
and cum in fly time.—New York Sun.

TALMAGE’S SERMON.
Thk Hamptons,. August 21 —“The Facts
Proved” is the subject of discourse by the
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, D. I) , to-day. His
text is from the 15th verse of Acts III: “We
are witnesses.” Following is his sermon in
full:
In the days of Geo. Stephenson, the per-
fector of the locomotive engine, the scientists
proved conclusively that a railwty train could
never be driven by steam power successfully
and without peril; but the rushing express
traius from Liverpool to Edinburg and from
Edinburg to London have made all the nation
witnesses of the splendid achievement. Ma
chinists and navigators proved conclusively
that a steamer could never cross the Atlantic
ocean; but no sooner had they successfully
proved the impossibility of such an undertak
ing than the work was done, and the passen
gers on the Cunr a 1, and the Inman, and ths
National, and the White Star lines are wit
nesses. There went up a guffaw of wise
laughter at Professor Morse’s proposition to
make the lightning of heaven bis errand boy,
and it was proved conclusively that the thing
could never be done; but now all the news of
the wide world, by associated press put in
your hands every morning and night, haB made
all nations witnesses.
So in the time of Christ it was proved con
clusively that it was impossible for him to rise
from the dead. It was shown logically that
when a may. .was dead, he was dead, and the
heart and the liver and the lungs having ceased
to perform their offices, the limbs would be
rigid beyor.d all power of friction or arousal.
They showed it to be an absolute absurdity
that the dead Christ should ever get up alive;
but no sooner had they proved this than the
dead Christ arose, and the disciples beheld
Him, heard His voice and talked with Him,
and they took tbe witness stand to prove that
to be true which tbe wiseacres of the day had
proved to be impossible; the record of the
experiment and of the testimony is in the text,
“Him hath God raised from the dead, whereof
we are witnesses.”
Now let me play the skeptic for a moment.
“There is no God,” says the skeptic, “for I
have never seen Him with my physical eye
sight. Your Bible is a pack of contradictions.
There never was a imraele. Lazarus was not
raised from the dead, and the water was never
turned into wine. Your religion is an imposi
lion on the credulity of the ages.” There is
an aged man moving in that pew as though he
would like to respond. Here are hundreds of
people with faces a little flashed at these an
nouncements, and all through this house there
is a suppressed feeling which would like to
speak out in behalf of the truth of our glorious
Christianity, as in the days of the text, crying
out: “We are witnesses!”
The fact is, that if this world is ever brought
to God, it will not be through argument, but
through testimony. You might cover the
whole earth with apologies for Christianity and
learned treatises iu defense of religion—you
would not convert a soul. Lectures on the
harmony between science and religion are
beautiful mental disccipline, but have never
saved a soul, ami never will save a soul, l’ut
a man of the world and a man of the church
against each other, and the man of the world
will in all probability get the triumph. There
are a thousand things in our religion that seem
illogical to the world and will always seem il
logical.
Our weapon in this conflict is faith, uot
logic, faith, not metaphysics; faith, not pro
fundity; faith, noioscholastjcexploration. But
t\-n osdfr.’JjB.y. feip-, WC bust have
tjstimony, andWihve hui.dred men, or one
thousand men, or live hundred thousand men,
or five million men get up and tell me that
they have felt the religion of Jesus Christ a
joy, a comfort, a help, an inspiration, I am
Doitnd as a fair minded man to accept their
testimony. 1 want just now to put before you
three propositions, the truth of which I think
this audience will attest with overwhelming
unanimity.
The first proposition is: We are witnesses
lhat tbe religion of Christ is able to convert a
soul.
The gospel may have had a hard time to
conquer us, we may have fought it back, but
we were vanquished. You say conversion iB
only an imaginary thing. We know better.
“We are witnesses.” There never were so
great change iu our heart and life on any other
subject as on this. People laughed at the mis
sionaries in Madagascar because they preached
ten years without one convert; but there are
thirty-three thousand converts in Madagascar
to-day. People laughed at Dr. Judson, the
Baptist missionary, because he kept «.n preach
ing in Burmah five years without a single con
vert; but there are twenty thousand Baptists
in Burmah to-day. People laughed at Dr.
Morrison, in China, for preaching there seven
years without a single conversion; but there
are fifteen thousand Christians in China to-day.
People laughed at the missionaries ior preach
ing at Tahiti for fifteen years without a r.ingle
conversion, and at the missionaries for preach
ing in Benttal seventeen years without a single
conversion; yet in all those lands there are
multitudes of Christians to-day.
But why go so far to find evidence of the
Gospel’s power to save a soul? “We are wit
nesses.” We were so proud that no man
could have humlfled us; were so hard that no
earthly power could have melted us; angels of
God were all around about us, lhey could not
overcome us; but one day, perhaps at a Meth
odist anxious seat, or at a Presbyterian catbe-
chetical lecture, or at the burial, or on horse
back, a power seized us, and made us get
down, and made us tremble, a ad made us
kneel, and rnaue us cry for mercy, and we tried
to wrench ourselves away from the grasp, but
we could not. It flung us flat, and when we
arose we were as much changed as Gourgis,
the heathen who went into a prayer-meeting
with a dagger and a gun, to disturb the meet
ing and destroy it, but the next day was found
crying: “Ohl my great sins! Oh! my great
Savior!” and for eleven years preached the
Gospel of Christ to his fellow mountaineers,
the last words on his dying lips, being: “Free
grace!” Oh! it was free grace!
There is a man who was for ten years a hard
drinker. The dreadful appetite had sent down
its roots around the palate and tbe tongue,
and on down until they were interlinked with
the vitals of body, mind and soul; but he has
not taken any stimulant for two years. What
did that? Not temperance societies. Not pro
hibition laws. Not moral suasion. Conver
sion did it. "Why,” said one npon whom the
great change had come, “sir, I feel just as
though I were somebody else.”
There is a sea captain who swore all the way
from New York to Havana, and from Havana
to San Francisco, and when he was in port be
was worse than when he was on the sea. What
power was it that washed his tongue clean of
profanities and made him a psalm-singer?
Conversion by the Holy Spirit. There are
thousands of people in this house to-night who
are no more what they once were than a wa
ter-lily is nightshade, or a morning lark ia a
vulture, or day ie night.
Now, if I should demand that all those peo
ple in this house who have felt the converting
power of religion should rise, so far from being
ashamed, they would spring to their feet with
more alacrity than they ever sprang to the
dance, the tears mingling with their exhilara
tion as they cried: ”We are witnesses!” And
if they tried to sing the old gospel hymn, they
would break down with emotion by the time
they git to the second line:
“Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend
On whom my hopes of Heaven depend?
Nol When ■ blush, be thie my shame:
That I no more revere His name.”
Again i nmark that “we are witnesses” of
the gospel’s power to comfort.
When a man ha* trouble the world comes in
and says: “Now get your mind off this; go
out andnreathe the fresh air; plunge deeper
into business.” What pior advice! Get your
mind off of it-when everything is upturned
with the bereavement and everything reminds
you of what you have lost Get your mind off
of ill They might as well advise yon to stop
thinking. You canaot stop thinking, and you
cannot stop thinking in that direction. Take
a walk in the fresh url Why, along that very
street or that very road she once accompanied
yon. Out of that grass-plot she plucked flow-
era, or into that show window she looked, fas
cinated, saying: “Come see tbe pictures.”
Go deeper into business! Why, she was asso
ciated with all yonr business ambition, and
since she has gone yon have no ambition left.
Ohl this is a clumsy world when it tries to
comfort a broken haart! I can build a Corliss
engine, I can paint a Raphael’s “Madonna,” I
can play a Beethoven’s “Symphony” as easily
as this world can comfort a broken heart.
And yet you have been comforted. How was
it done? Did Christ come to you and say
“Get your mind off this; go out and breathe
the fresh air; plunge deeper into business?”
No. Thera was a minute when he came to
you—perhaps in the watches of the night, per-
uaps in yonr place of business, perhaps along
the street—and He breathed something into
your soul that gave peace, rest, infinite quiet,
so that you could take out the photograph of
the departed one and look into the eyes and
the face of the dear one and say, “It is all
right; she is better off; I would not call her
back. Lord, I thank Thee that Thou hast com
forted my poor heart.”
There are Christian parents here who are
willing to testify to the power of this Gospel to
comfort. Your son had just graduated from
school or college and was going into business,
and the Lord took him. Or your daughter had
just graduated from the young ladies’ semina
ry, and you thought she was going to be a use
ful woman and of long life; but the Lord tot k
her, and you were tempted to say, “All this
culture of twenty years for nothing!” Or the
little child came home from school with the
hot fever, that stopped not for the agonized
prayer or for the skillful physician, and the lit
tle child was taken. Or the babe was lifted out
of your arms by some quick epidemic, and yon
stood wondering why God ever gave you thie
child at all if so soon He was to take it away.
And yet you are not repining, you are not fret
ful, you are not fighting against God.
What has enabled you to stand all the trial?
“Oh!” you say, “I took the medicine that God
gave my sick soul. In my distress I threw
myself at the feet of a sympathizing God, and
when I was too weak to pray or look up He
b:eathed into me a peace that I think must be
the foretaste of lhat Heaven wheie there is
n-ither a tear nor a farewell nor a grave ”
Come, all ye who have been out to the grave to
weep there—come, all ye comforted souls, get
up off your knees. Is there no power in this
Gospel to soothe the heart? Is there no power
in this religion to quiet the worst paraxysm of
grief? There comes up an answer from com-
forted widowhood and orphanage and child
lessness, saying: “Aye, aye, we are wit
nesses.”
Again I remark that we are witnesses of the
fact that religion has power to give composure
iu the last moment. I shall never forget the
first time I confronted death. We went across
the corn fields iu the country. I was led by
my father’s hand, and we came to the farm
house where the bereavement had come, and
we saw the crowd of wagons and carriages;
but there was one carriage that especially at
tracted my boyish attention, and it had black
plumes. I said: “What’s that? what’s that?
Why those black ta8sels at the top?” And
after it was explained to me, I was lifted up to
look upon the bright face of an aged Christian
woman, who, three days before, had departed
in triumph. The whole scene made an im
pression I never forgot.
In our sermons and in our lay exhortations
we are very apt, when we want to bring illus
trations of dying triumph, to go back to some
distinguished personage—to John Knox, or a
Harriet Newell. But I want you for wit
nesses.
I want to know if you have ever seen any
thing to make you believe that the religion of
Christ can give composure in the final hour.
Now, in the courts, attorney, jury, and judge
will never admit mere hearsay. They demand
that the witness must have seen with his own
eyes, or heard with Mb own ears, and so I am
critical in my examination of you now; and I
want to know whether you have seen or heard
anything that makes you believe that the re
ligion of Christ gives composure in the final
hour.
“Oh, yes,” you say, “I saw my father and
mother depart. There was a great difference
in their death-beds. Standing by the one we
i felt more veneration. By the other there was
more tenderness.” Before the one you bowed
perhaps in awe. In the other case, you felt as
if you would like to go along with her. How
1 did they feel in that last hour? How did they
seem to act? Were they very much fright
ened? Did they take hold of this world with
both hands as though they did not want to
give it up? “Oh, no,” you say: “no, I remem
ber as though it were yesterday; she had a
kind word for us all, and there were a few me
mentoes distributed among the children, and
then she told us how kind we must be to our
father in his loneliness, and then she kissed
us good-bye and went asleep as a child in a
cradle.”
What made her so composed? Natural
courage? “No,” you say, “mother was very
nervous; when the carriage inclined to the side
of the road, she woull cry out; she was always
rather weakly.” What, then, gave her com
posure? Was it because she did not care
much for you, ami the pang of parting was not
great; “Oh,” you say, “she showered upon us
a wealth of affection; no mother ever loved her
children more than mother loved us; she
showed it by the way she nursed us when we
were sick, and she toiled for us until her
strength gave out.” What, then, was it that
gave her composure in the last hour? Do not
hide it. Be fraDk and let me know. "Oh,”
you say, “it was because she was so good; she
made the Lord her portion, and she had faith
that she would go straight to glory, and that
we should all meet her at last at the foot of
the throne.”
Here are people who say: "I saw a Chris
tian brother die, and he triumphed.” And
some one else: “I saw a Christian sister die
and she triumphed.” Some one else will say
“I eaw a Christian daughter die and she tri
umphed.” Come, all ye who have seen the
last moments of a Christian and give testimony
in this cause on trial. Uncover your heads,
put your hand on the old family Bible from
which they used to read the promises, and
promise in the presence of high heaven that
you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth. With what you have
seen with your own eyes, and from what you
have heard with your own ears, is there power
in this Gospel to give calmness and triumph in
the last exigency ? The response comes from
all sides, from young and old and middle-aged:
“We are witnesses!”
You see, my frieuds, I have not put before
you an abstraction, or a chimera, or anything
like guess work. I present you affidavits of
tbe best men and women, living and dead.
Two witnesses in court will establish a fact.
Here are not two witnesses but thousands of
witnesses—on earth millions of witnesses, and
in heaven a great multitude of witnesses that
no man can number, testifying that there is
power in this religion to convert the soul, to
give comfort in trouble, and to afford compos
ure in the last hour.
If te n men should come to you when you
are sick with apilling sickness, and say they
had the same sickness, and took a certain med
icine, and it cured them, you would probably
take it. Now, suppose ten other men should
come up and say: “We don’t believe there is
anything in that medicine.” “Well,” I say,
“have you ever tried it?”
“No, I never tried it, but I don’t believe
there is anything in it.” Of course, you dis
credit their testimony. The skeptic may come
and say: “There is no power in your relig
ion.” “Have you ever tried it?” “No, no.”
“Then, avaunt!" Let me take the testimony
of the millions of souls that have been con
verted to God, and comforted in trial, and so
laced in the last hour. We will take their tes
timony as they cry: “We are witnesses!”
Some time ago Professor Henry, of Wash
ington, discovered a new star, and the tidings
sped by submarine telegraph, and all the ob
servatories of Europe were watching for that
new star. Oh, hearer, looking out through
the darkness of tby soul, canst thou see a
bright light bearing on thee? “Where?” you
say, “where? How can I find it?” Look
along by the line of the cross of the Son of
God. Do you not see it trembling with all
tenderness and beaming with all hope? It is
the Star of Bethlehem.
“Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death-struck, I cessed the tide to stem,
When suddenly a star arose—
It was the Star of Bethlehem.”
Oh, hearer, get yonr eye on it. It ia easier
for you now to become Christians than it is to
stay away from Christ and heaven. When
Madame Sontag began her musical career she
was hissed off the stage at Vienna by the
friends of her rival, Amelia Steininger, who
had already began to decline throngh her dis
sipation. Years passed on, and one day Mad
ame Sontag, in her glory, was riding throngh
the streets of Berlin, when she saw a little
child leading a blind woman, and she said:
’Come here, my little child, come here. Who
is it that you are leading by the hand? And
the little child replied: “That’s my mower;
that’s Amelia Steininger. She used to be a
great singer, but she lost her voice, and she
cried so much about it that she lost her eye
sight.” “Give my love to her,” said Madame
Sontag, “and tell her an old acquaintance will
call on her this afternoon.”
The next week in Berlin a vast assemblage
gathered at a benefit for that poor blind wo
man, and it was said that Madame Sontag
sang that night as she never sang before. And
she took a skilled oculist, who in vain tried to
give eyesight to the poor, blind woman. Un
til the day of Amelia Steininger’s death Mad
ame Sontag took care of her, and her daughter
after her. That was what tbe qneen of song
did for her enemy.
Bnt, oh, hear a more thrilling story still.
Blind, immortal, poor and lost, thon who,
when the world and Christ were rivals for thy
heart, didst hiss thy Lord away—Christ comes
now to give thee sight, to give thee a home, to
give thee heaven. With more than a Son tag’s
generosity He comes now to meet yonr need.
With a more than a Sontag’s music He comes
to plead for their deliverance.
