BURDEN BEARING SERMON BY REV. >V. S. PERKINS OF MERIDEN, CONN. u .... Tin. „ *. jr^rsLJsssKrr «...w.». ........... ™ c„„. Text: "Bear ye one another’s burdens.’* —Qal: vl., 2. Every one is a burden bearer, responsibility, having his load of want, suffering and Some appear so fortunate that we doubt whether thev share in the sorrows of man kind. They have wealth, friends, health, wisdom and virtue. What can their burden be? They have at least a responsibility commensurate with their (blessings; and, perhaps, if we knew more of their lives, seemingly so blessed, we would And that they also have a burden, all the heavier be cause borne in secret. Mon often think that if they could change their would circumstances, trouble, but even this slightly, is Illusion. they escape an The sick recover health, the poor become rich, the lowly gain the oovetea positions of honor, and their common testimony Is that mal’eondltlon oilman Is that of n buritoo bearer. We "are bora into trouble as the snarks P Howc,fnt flv upward P h" fait ” of burden b.nrlnB be reconciled with our belief in a heavenly Father? Some contend that all suffering is due to sin; that if man had not sinned he would have had no burden. Jesus, fcow ever. repudiates this thought. For when the Jews asked Him, Who did sin, this man oc his parents, that he was born blind? Ho answered; Neither. Much suffering comes indeed .as the punishment of sln f but some suffering has its source in tte exercise of our holiest affections, os that of a mother bearing the burden of an un fortunate or wayward child. In seeking g further for a solution to this problem we flnd that the really great men of the world bear its heaviest burdens, so that, It is said, "a man’s greatness may be measured by his sufferings.” Burden bear ing enables a .man to do two things-to test his strength and by using to increase it. And what splendid characters have thus been developed! all! * Widows the in poverty giving their Martyrs of sick room showing marvelous patience! Heroes of the faith made such by their struggles with unbelief! Did not God intend such results? Then that is the reason why He sometimes lavs on men such heavy burdens. This leads up to the'explanation of bur den bearing’suggested in the text—“Bear ve one another’s burdens.” The picture of the world’s sorrow is very dark, but it has in it a bit of blue sky, through which faith looks up ana beholds the eternal I goodness. that I Burdens are put upon men they may I help one another bear them. Without suf fering how could we realize our dependence j I upon God or feel the need of human sym pathy and help hove?. a’fellow Nd opportunity in trouble would be to j I given to man beyond relief, or i sigh in pity over misery tbechief our wfty Grant, haVe then, that reason ; men burdens is that they may help I j one another, how great is the duty laid j upon us. In the fulfilment of that duty two ways are suggested Those that are ; able may take the burden from weaker i shoulders and bear it themselves, St. Paul says, “Wo that ;are strong otxght to bear the infirmities of the weak.” Or strength may be given to those upon whom the burden is laid to bear it themselves, Tho latter is the more effective aid. A word of instruction, an act of kindness or an ex isTeeded 01 8ymPlltll> ** sometimes a11 tbat ) iThere is an Eastern legend that runs thus: In a forest near a great city a golden ball was let down out of heaven every day at noontime, and whoever should touch this ball, it was said, would ,,Bt> acquire cer tain wonderful virtues., many tried to reach it. Bilt it was always there lifted jast above them . .One ttU dqy was in the crowd old waitijigjftyr' m^g and descent lijtle of the boy. ball an a And tho ol^i, man said to the other?: “If to-day none of us cah reach the ball, let us lift up this child so that ho may touch it and receive the blessing.” Acting on this counsel, when the tallest of them could not reach the ball, they stood to gether and lifted up the boy till, with his tiny hand, he touched thegoiden ball and, lol not the boy only, pyramid but every felt th p erson thrill form ing the living e and received the magic gift. So it is, my friends, in life. When men stand together, shoulder to shoulder, bear ing one another’s burdens, then God be stows upon them His best blessings. W. S. Perkins. Pastor St.' Paul’s Church, Unlversalist, Meriden, Conn. LGOD AMONG THE BIRDS. IJev. Dr. Talmage on Ornithology of tho Bible. Text: "Behold the fowls of the air.”— Matthew vi., 26. My text is an extract from the Sermon on tho Mount, and perhaps it was at a mo ment when a flock of thirds flew past that Christ waved His hand toward them and said: "Behold the fowls of the air.” That is, study their habits. Examine their col ors. Notice their speed. See tho hand of God in their construction. They are al most human, for they have their loves and hates, affinities aud antipathies, under stand joy and grief, have conjugal nnd ma ternal Instincts, wage wars, and entertain jealousies, have a language of their own and powers of association. . Thank God for birds, and skies full of them. It is useless to expect to under stand the Bible unless we study natural history. They were at the creation placed all around on the rocks and in the trees and on the ground to serenade Adam’s arrival. They took their places on Friday, as the first man was made on Saturday. Whatever else ho had or did not have, he should have music. The first sound that struck the human ear was a bird's voice. As a bird first heralded the human race into the world, now a bird will help tho human race back to the world that had shipped a sea that had overwhelmed every thing. Noah stands on Sunday morning at the window of the ark, in his hand a cooing dove, so gentle, sounnocent, so af fectionate, and he said: "Now, my little dove, fly away over these waters, explore, and come back and tell us whether it is safe to land. It was a bird that told them when to take possession of the resuscitated planet. So tho human race were saved by a bird’s wing; for, attempting to land too soon, they would have perished. Isaiah compares the desolations of ban ished Israel to nn owl and bittern and cor morant among a city’s ruins. Would the prophet illustrate the fate-of fraud, he points to a failure at incubation, and says; "As a partridge sitteth on eggs and hatch oth them not, so he that gettetli riches and not by right shall leave them in the midst of bis days and at his end shall be a foo’.l’ The quickest way to amass a fortune is by iniquity, but tho trouble is about keep ing it. Every hour of every day " some such partridge is driven off the nest Panics are easily as a genuine issue, why not make it? .ws nsM. r„zsTntiL,xx "ra: -» n ,"h,cr at. Consecration picked at. picked Benevolence picked at. Usefulness at. A speckled bird is a peculiar bird, and that arouses the antipathy of all the beaks ol of God isapecultm institution, and that is enough to ovo.ve attack of the world, for it is a speckled bird to be picked nt. The inconsistencies of Christians are a banquet on which multi tudes get fat. They ascribe everything vou do to wrong motives. Put a dollar in the poor box, and they will say that he dropped it there only that he might hear it ring. Invite them to Christ, and they will call you a fanatic. Let there be contention among Christians, nnd they will say: Hur *rah! the church is In decadence." Christ In tended that His church should always re main a speckled bird business disappoint Disaster, failure in order timt w. m.jr learn to Yon who are complaining; that you have no faithior courage or Christian Zeal, have had it too eo.,. You never will tern to fly Intlitt comfortable nest. Like an eagle, Christ has carried us on His back. At times wo have been shaken off, and when we were about to fall He came under us again and brought ui out of the gloomy valley to tho sunny mountain. Never an eagle brooded with such love and care over her young as God’s wings have been over us. Across what oceans of trouble we have K<>ne in safety upon the Almighty wings, From what mountains of sin wo have been carried and at times have been borne up far above the gunshot of the world and the hjtow of tho devil. A\hen our time on earth Is closed, on these great wings of God we shall speed with infinite quickness from earth’s mountains to heaven’s hills, und as from the eagle’s circuit under the sun, significant men on the ground seem small nnd in as lizards on a rock, so all earth ly things shall dwindle into a far speck beneath and the raging seas of death so will seem smooth and glassy as a Swiss lake. Oh, the goodness of God showing the birds how to build their nest! What carpenters, what masons, what weavers, what spinners the birdsarel Out of what small resources they make what an exquisite home, curved, pillared, wreathed.Out of mosses, out of stioks, out of lichens, out of horsehair, out of spiders’ web, out of threads swept from the door by the housewife, out of the wool of the sheep in the pasture Held. Uphol stered by leaves actually seived together by its own sharp bill. Cushioned with feathers from its own breast. Mortared together with the gum of trees and the saliva of its own tiny bill. Such symmetry, such geometry of structure. Surely these nests were built by some plan. They did not just happen so. Who draughted the plan for the bird’s nest? God. And do you not think that if He plans such a house for a chaffinch, for an oriole, for a bobolink, for a sparrow, He will see are to 01 it more that yout value always^have than many a home? spar rows.” Whatever else surrounds you, you can have what the Bible calls "the feathers ot the Almighty.” Just think of a nest Hke that, the warmth of It. the softness of it. the safety of it—"the feathers of the Almighty.” No flamingo outflashing the tropical sunset ever had such brilliancy of a g“*dashe°d^wffh such crimson® anf^purple the orange and gold—"tho feathers of Almighty.” Do you not feel the touch of them now on forehead and cheek and spirit, and was there ever such tenderness °I, brooding—“tho feathers of the At mighty.” Bo also in this ornithology of the Bible God keeps impressing us with the anat omy of a bird’s wing. Over fifty times does the old Book allude to the wing—"wings of a dove,” “wings of tne morning,” “wings of the wind,” "sun of righteousness, with healing in his wings, >> it wings of the Ai mighty,” "all fowl of every wing.” What does it all mean? It suggests uplifting. N It tells you of flight upward. It means to remipd you that you, yourself, havo wings. David cried out, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove that I might fly away and be at rest.” Thank God that you havo better wings than any dove of longest and swiftest flight. Caged now in bars of flesh are those wings, but the day comes when they will be liberated. Get ready for ascension. Take the words of that old hymn, and to the tune unto which that hymn is carried sing: Bise my soul and stretch thy wing. Thy better portion trace. Up out of these lowlands Into the heavens of higher experience and wider prospect. But how shall wo rise? Only ns God’s Holy Spirit, gives us strength. But that is com ing now. Not as a condor from a Chim borazo peak, swooping upon the affrighted valley, but as a dove like that which put its soft brown wings over the wet locks of Christ at the baptism in the Jordan. Dove of gentleness! Dove of peace! Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove, With all thy quickening powers, Come shed abroad a Saviour’s love And that shall kindle ours. OMAHA’S QUEER EPIDEMIC. More Than 10,000 Persons Afflicted With a Strange Skin Disease. All the physicians In Omaha, Neb., are puzzled as the to the nature The disease of an epidemic develops throughout city. in small eruptions which cover the body. The eruptions are highly inflamed and finally scale off, liko scurvey. The disease was first noticed about three weeks ago and since then has spread with, great rapidity. More than 10,000 persons have been af fected. with Every fcarber shop in the city is providod a salve which is designed to ally the inflammation. The city Health Depart ment has received numerous reports, which indicate that the disease is prevalent in tho public schools. It is tho general opinion of physicians that the disease is caused by some germ that settles on the skin, and this is about all that they can say about it. It is not regarded as serious.

"Hark, hark, the dogs do bark; The burglars have come to town.” For 15 years this has , been an orderly, , . peaceable and honest town. Ev^r since the saloons . were . abolished ni )0 lished there therei has has been no disturbance of the public tran quility. During all that time our doors , . , locked at night nor has fowl invader. The presence of our faithful dog ® may J t* have been our pro- K tection, , tor there , hove , been some few chickens stolen in these parts. Our ne i g ® hbor, Charley / Patterson, suffered 1 t{] , hanaht the old gallows which man hbh , hung on a a few years ago £ and built a chicken i ‘ i pr Since then he hardly ,, get .larky , to . put , chickens , • t can a in it by day, much less to take them out by •*, night. ° But our negroes in and p tprsvillA arc a clever * indns trions people nnd lionest mnnKiud , generally. –s ns are J The domestic servants , lihertieq with little things , . that . they sv-ink think we wmt’i won t mi«« miss, but they have many good traits that ar e a set-off ’ and so we comnromise F on general , principles. . . , But now the burglars have come to town and alarmed the whole commu T I v believe i - xv they fiom nrvi nn up come north where every bad thing comes f rom , even to bad weather. The other ■, J trainn came to our bouse and asked for something Br .r»io+v.ii.<r to cot eat. Me FTo was fairly good looking and well dressed. My ^ wife got him a lunch and asked , him where hfs f home was, and where , he was going. He smiled and said he had no home and was raised in an orphan asylum up north and was going to Atlanta in search of work. “How do you travel,” said she, “if TOn ? have no monev’” Well, I ride on the freights until they put me off, he said, and then 1 W ait for another one and ride some j am just J takin a little tri r now more . to see the country. ,, There were tw T o of these fellows in tn-ri-ri E0V n anti au d tney thev took took the tne rounds lounoe asking askinc for something to eat and always got it. My opinion is that they are profes sjQp a ] thieves and their purpose in callin S at 80 many houses is to pros pect the premises. The night after they were at our house burglars enter ed four houses and stole money. They took $90 from under a sleeping man’s pillow anYl smaller sums from the pockets of other men. A few nights after they entered three houses and took a fine gold watch from under a banker’s pillow and the next night a watch and some money at another place. They take no clothing nor any thing to eat. They are white folks, I tell you, and are experts in their bus iness. Well, of course, the whole commun ity is aroused and especially thesvomen. My wife is not a timid woman. She is more afraid of snakes than of men, but she, too, gtft alarmed and made me get the hammer and the screwdriver and some bolts and nails and fix up every door and window. She held the lamp and watched me all round from room to room, and I mashed a great blood blister on my finger and it hurts yet. When all was done to her satisfaction and we got ready to retire, she sud denly told me not to lock the back hall door, for Uncle Sam had to come in there in the morning to make a fire. Considerate woman! She knew that I didn’t like to get up out of a warm bed to unlock the door. Reckon she thinks the burglars wouldn’t be so impolite as to come in at the back door. Bet they don’t get any watch from under my pillow, for I haven’t got any. Forty years ago they got mine just that way in old Dr. Thompson’s hotel in Atlan ta, and I have never carried one since. They got my pocketbook, too, and a little money and some valuable papers. They were from up north and were very clever men, considering, for in about a week they sent me all my pa pers back through the mail and the letter was postmarked Philadelphia. They will give a man back everything they can’t use. Bill Fort told me that they were a kmd-hearted set of thieves and he had known them to lean over and kiss a sleeping man after they had robbed him. No, it is white folks who are steal ing these valuable things, Negroes haven’t got above chickens and tur keys yet. I heard the other day of an old darky who prayed every night dur ing Christmas for the Lord to send a turkey to him, but the turkey didn’t come,’and so he changed his prayer and asked the Lord to send him to a turkey and his prayer xvas answered that very night. A negro don’t hanker after gold watches. He wants some thing to eat.

The most remarkable religious de monstration ever witnessed in a civil ized community during the nineteenth century is now being enacted daily near Brunswick, Ga., according to a dispatch. "With the mysterious power of a hyp notist the strange preacher of “holi ness” in his tent at the six-mile cross ing continues to work communicants into frenzies of religious excitement, For days wonderful stories of the extraordinary scenes have reached Brunswick, but the half has not been told. To this strange religion now being expounded is charged the death of young William Hickman, who died in a religious trance several days ago. His main forte seems to lie in tak ing up collections. Contributions of all descriptions poured in, jewelry was discarded and emptied into his hat, poeketbooks were turned inside out, coats and vests were torn off and thrown on tho altar, while their for m e r owners, unmindful of the shiver Hig blasts of a northeast wind, stood with swaying bodies laughing and shouting “Glory to God.” TO SAVE A FINE. Train on Union Pacific Make# 510 Miles In 559 Minutes. The Union Pacific road made another record for fast running on last Monday. A mail train was rushed across the country from Cheyenne to Council Bluffs, 519 miles, in 559 minutes. This is actually elapsed time, and in cludes all stops. Engines were chang ed twice and two engineers were re lieved. All the regular stops were made and one extra, when an air brake hose burst and had to be repaired at the expense of several minutes of time. A burned out bridge near Medicine Bow, Wyo., had delayed the mail train fiye hours and thirty minutes. The reached Cheyenne five hours late. It was necessary to reach Council Bluffs on time or pay a heavy fine to the government. It was a most re markable run against time. Chey enne to Sydney, 102 miles, was made in 107 minutes. Engines were then changed aud the run from Sydney to North Platte, 123 miles, was made in 118 minutes. On this run a Colorado stop was made at Julesburg to get the mail. From North Platte to Grand 138 miles, the time was made in minutes, engineers being changed at Lexington and other stops being neces sary. From Grand Island to Council Bluffs, 156 miles, the time was 165 minutes, including a stop of over five minutes to fix a burster! tank "nose, regular station stops, a delay by 8 Missouri Pacific freight train entering the Omaha yards and other annoy ances.
