DR. TAI,MAGE’S SERMON
The Eminent Divine’s Sunday
Discourse.
Subject: “Slgniflcunce of the Flowers”—
They Bear Messages of Cheer to the
Heart-sick and Despairing—Their Ap.
propriateness at Obsequies.
Text: “If then God so clothe tho grass
which is to-day in the field, and to-mor
row is cast into the oven, how much more
will He clothe you, O ye of little lnlth?”—
Luke xli., 28.
The lily is the queen of Bible flowers
The rose may have disputed her throne in
modern times and won it, but the rose orig
jnally had only five petals. It was under
the long continued und intense gaze of the
world that the rose blushed into its pres
ent beauty. In the Bible train, cassia and
hyssop and frankincense UDd myrrh and
spikenard the lily. nnd Fourteen camphor times and in the the rose Bible fol
Jow
is the lily mentioned; only twice the rose,
The rose may now have wider empire, but
the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in
1 he time of Solomon, in the time of Christ
Cmsar had his throne on the hills. The lily
bad her throne in the valley. In the great
est sermon that was ever preached there
was only one flower, and that a lily. The
Bedford dreamer, John Bunyan, entered
the house of the interpreter, and was
shown a cluster of flowers und was told to
“consider the lilies.”
We may study or reject other sciencos at
our option-it is so with astronomy, it is
»o with chemistry, it is so with juris
prudence, it is so with physiology, it is so
with geology—but the science of botany
Christ commands ns to study 'when He
says, “Consider the lilies.” Measurethem
from root to tip of petal. Inhale their
breath. Notice the gracefulness of their
poise. Hear the wtisper of the white Jips
of the Eastern and the red lips of the
American lily
Belongiug to this royal family of lilies
are the lily of the Nile, the Japan lily, the
Lady ‘Washington of the Sierras.the Golden
band lily, the Giant lily of Nepaul, the
Turk’s cap lily, the African lily from the
Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have
the royal blood in their veins. But I take
the lilies of my text this morning as typical
of all flowers, nnd their voice of floral
beauty seems to address us, saying, “Con
aider the lilies, consider the azaleas, con
aider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums,
consider the ivies, consider the hyacinths,
consider the heliotropes, consider the
oleanders.” With deferential nnd grateful
and intelligent and worshipful souls con
sidertliem. Not witli insipid sentimental
Ism or with sophomoric vaporing, but for
grand and practical and everyday and, if
need be, homely uses, consider them.
The flowers are tbo angels of the grass,
They all have voices. When the clouds
speak, they thunder; when the whirlwinds
speak they scream, when the cataracts
speak they roar, but when the flowers
speak they always whisper. Island here
to interpret their message. What have
you to say to us, O ye angels of the grass?
This morning I mean to discuss whut flow
ers are good for. That is my subject,
“What are flowers "ood for?”
I remark, in the first place, they are good
for lessons of God’s providential care,
That was Christ’s first tliought. All these
flowers seem to address us to-dav, saying,
“God will give you apparel and food.” We
have no wheel with which to spin, no loom
with which to weave, no sickle with which
to harvest, no well sweep with which to
draw water, but God slacks our thirst witli
the dew, and God feeds us with the bread
of the sunshine, and God has appareled us
with more than Solomonic regality. We
are prophetesses of adequato wardrobe.
“If God so clothed us, the grass of thefleld,
will He not much more clothe you, 0 ye of
little faith?” Men and women of worldly
anxieties, take this message home with
you. How long has God taken care of you?
Quarter of the journey of life? Half the
journey of.iife? of life? Three-quarters the jour
ney Can you not trust Him therest
of the way? God does not promise you
anything like that which the Roman cm
peror had on his table at vast expense—500
nightingales’tongues—but He has promised
to take care of you. He has promised yon
the necessities, not the luxuries—bread,
not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes
the grass of the field, will He not provide
for you, His living and immortal children?

good for tbe bridal day. The bride must
have them on her brow, and she must
have them in her hand. The marriage
altar must be covered with them. A wed
ding without flowers would be as inappro
priate as a wedding without music. At
suchatime they are for congratulation
and prophecies of good. So much of the
pathway of life is covered up with thorns,
we ought to cover the beginning with or
ange blossoms.
Flowers are appropriate on such oc
casions, for in ninety-nine out ot 100 cases
It is the very best thing that could have

all cases, are appropriate for the

She Didn’t Like it.
“I am so proud of you!”
With eyes tenderly expressing the
fond appreciation and tender love of a
devoted husband, John Blurner turned
gently and imprinted a kiss upon his
wife’s forehead.
“Yes, my dear,” he continued, “I feel
somewhat conscience stricken when I
think of how silent I am, as a rule, about
all those qualities of mind and heart
which you possess. As I go about
among my friends and talk with the
brilliant and cultivated women who
shine with such splendor, how glad it
makes me to think, that you are not as
they! Give me the quiet, simple wo
man, who is content to stay at home,
who lives but for her husband, and
who prefers the domesticity of the
home circle to the artificiality of so
ciety. No one knows better than I do
that when you go out you suffer great
ly in comparison with other women,
whose glamor of intellect blinds the
senses. Beauty in women I can ad
mire—indeed, I do admire it—and yet,
after all, I prefer you. What do I care
if you are not beautiful, when I know
that you are good? What difference
does it make to me if you cannot be
bright and witty, no matter how hard
you try with others? Hello! what's the
matter?”
“Don’t you think,” replied Mrs. Blu
mer, as she took her handkerchief from
her eyes and glared at him with a
combined look of sorrow and anger,
“that you have said enough?”
John Blumer rose from his chair
with a despairing gesture and looked
out of the window savagely, with a
hard, set look on his face.
“TiiaEs just like a woman!” he mut
tered indignantly to himself. “Give
her one word of praise and she turns
on you!”—rearson’s Weekly.
Humorous Geese.
Of barn yard fowls the geese are the
most intelligent. It is related of a pair
of geese that they used to round up
the chickens which strayed in from
the neighbors and play pranks with
them for the fun of it, says the New
York Sun. One day a dozen of a neigh
bor’s hen flock came visiting tfnd the
geese entertained them. The chickens
were corralled in a fence corner, and
the geese flapped their wings and
hissed, showing great joy when the
chickens exhibited fear. Just then the
farmer came out and began to feed
his flock. Between hen-baiting and
eating these geese did not know what
to do. They wanted to eat and would
begin to eat. Then the chickens T/ould
start away. That made the geese so
uneasy that they cotild not eat. After
a bit the chickens started along the
fence toward a little stream of water
with eighteen inch high banks. On see
ing this the geese stopped eating and
went to the stream and swam down it
toward the spot for which the hens
were headed, and ducked their heads
so that the chickens couldn't see them.
Arriving at the crossing place the geese
jumped into the air with flapping
wings and tried to catch one of the
chickens, but they were too slow, and
the chickens went over the fence like
scared crows. If the geese had caught
the chicken the feathers would have
flown, for the geese delighted in pluck
ing the feathers out of a captive.

Sultan Feared Maxim Gun.
Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the
Maxim gun, tells an amusing story of
an experience with the Sultan of Tur
key. The sultan had witnessed a test
of the wonderful shooting of the rapid
fire arm, and was duly impressed with
seeing the small weapon deliver itself
of GOO shots a minute without being
touched by human hand save the first
pull of the trigger.
“Wonderful! Wonderful!” he ex
claimed in amazement. “I must have
some of those arms.”
Some time later Mr. Maxim received
an order for an expensive pattern of
small field gun. He made two, beau
tifully 'chased in gold, and.of marvel
ous workmanship. What the sultan
could want of such expensive outside
trappings he did not know, but they
were duly sent to Turkey, where they
now rest in the royal museum.
“Ah! They shoot too well,” the Sul
tan is reported to have said when ask
ed why they were not used in the field.

GentlemenI write you a few lines of prrat
i’ude. I think your Grove’s Tasteless Chill
Tonic is one of the best medicines in the world
for Chills amt Fever. I have three children
that have been down with in'/larial fever for 18
momhs and have bought Chill medicines of all
kinds and Doctor’s bills coming in all the tima
until I sent to town and got three bottles of
Grove’s Tonic. My children are all well now
and it was your Tasteless Chill Tonic that did
it. I cannot say too much in its behalf.
Yours truly,
JAMES D. ROBERTS.
