THE NOTED DIVINE’S SUNDAY DIS
COUItSK.
Subject: “Vicarious Sacriflco.”
Terr: “Without shedding of blood is no
remission."—Hebrews ix., 22.
John G. Whittier, the last of the great
sehool of American poets that made tho
lost quarter of a century brilliant, asked mo
in tho White Mountains one morning attor
prayers, in which I had given out Oowpor’s
famous hymn about tho “fountain filled
With blood,” “L'o yon really believe there is
n litoral application of tho blood of Christ to
the soul?” My negative reply then is my
negative reply now. The ISlblo statement
ngrees with all physicians and all physiol¬
ogists and all scientists in saying that the
blood is the life, and in liie Ohristlnn
religion it means simply that Christ’s
life was given for life. Honco all this talk
of men who say tho Bible story of blood is
they disgusting, and that they don’t want what
call a “slaughter house religion,” only
shows their incapacity or unwillingness to
look through the figure of speech toward the
thing signified. The blood that outhe dark¬
est Friday the world ever saw oozed or
triokled or poured from the brow, and tho
side, and the hands, and the feet of the
illustrious sufferer, back of Jerusalem, in a
few hours coagulated and dried up and for¬
ever the disappeared, and if man had depended
on Christ there application would of tho literal blood of
not have bseu a soul
saved for the last eighteen centuries.
In ordor to understand this red word of
my text we only have to exerciso as much
common sense iu religion as we do in every¬
thing else. Paug for pang, hunger for
hungor, fatigue for fatigue, tear for tear,
blood for blood, life for life, we see every
day illustrated. The act of substitution is
though no novelty, idea although I hear men talk as
the of Christ’s suffering sub¬
stituted for our suffering were something
abnormal, something distressingly odd,
something wildly eocent-rio, a solitary
episode in the world's history—when I could
take you out into this city und before sun¬
down point you to five hundred cases of sub¬
stitution aud voluntary suffering of one in
behalf of another.
At 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon go
among the places ot business or toil. It will
be no difficult thing for you to find men who
by their looks show you that they are over¬
worked. They are prematurely old. They
are hastening rapidly toward their decease.
They have gone through crises in business
that shattered their nervous system and
pulled on the brain. They have a shortness
of breath and a pain in the back of the head
and at night au insomnia that alarms them.
Wny are they drudging at busino3S earlv and
late? For fun? No. It would be difficult
to extract any amusement out> of that ex¬
haustion. Because they are avaricious? In
many cases no. Because their own personal
expenses are lavish? No. A few hundred
dollars would meet all their wants. Too
simple fact is the man is enduring all that
latigue and exasperation and wear and tear
to keep his home prosperous. There is an
invisible line reaching from that store, from
that bank, from that shop, from that scaf¬
folding, to a quiet scene a few blocks away,
a few miles away. And there is the secret
of that business endurance. He is simply
the champiop of a homestead for which he
wins bread a .d wardrobe and education and
prosperity, fall. and in such battle 10,090 men
Of ten business men whom I bury nine
die of overwork for .others. Some sudden
i disease finds them with no power of resist¬
ance, and they aro gone. Life lor life. Blood
lor blood. Substitution!
At 1 o’clock to-morrow morning, tho hour
when slumber is most uninterrupted and
most profound, walk amid tho dwelling
houses of the city. Here aud there yotTwili
find a dim light because it is tho household
custom to keep a subdued light burning, but
most of the houses from base to top are as
dark a 3 though uninhabited. A merciful
God has sent forth the archangel of sleep,
and he puts his wings over the city. But
yonder is a clear light burning, and outside
on the window casement is a glass or pitcher
containing food for a sick child. The food
is set in the fresh, air. This is the sixth
night that mother has sat up with that suf¬
ferer. She has to the last point obeyed the
physician’s prescription, not giving’a drop
too muoh or too little or a moment too soon
or too lato. She is very anxious, for she has
burled three children with the same disease,
•and she prays and weeps, each prayer and
sob ending with a kiss of the psite cheek.
iBy dint of kindness she gets the little one
'through the ordeal. After it is all over the
mother is taken down. Brain or nervous
fever sets in, and one day she leaves the con¬
valescent child with a mother’s blessing and
goes up to join the three in the kingdom of
heaven. Life for life! Substitution! The
factis that there are an uncounted number
,of mothers who, after they have navigated a
large family of children through all the dis¬
eases of infancy and got them fairly started up
the flowering slope of Boyhood aud girlhood
have only strength enough left to die. They
fade away. Some call it consumption.
Some call it nervous prostration. Some call
it 1 intermittent or malarlal.indisposltion. But
call it martyrdom of the domestic circle.
Life for life. Blood for blood, Substitn-
tion!
Or perhaps the mother lingers long enough
to see a son get on the wrong road, nnd his
former kindness becomes rough reply
when she expresses anxiety about him.
But she goes right on. looking carefully af¬
ter his apparel, remembering his every birth¬
day with some memento, and, when he is
brought him home till he worn out well with and dissipation, him

again and hopes and expects and prays and

she has any message to leave, an '. she makes
great effort to say something, but out of

The simple fact is she died for aim.
Life for life. Substitution!
About thirty-six yeats ago there went forth
from our northern aud southern homes hun¬
dreds of thousands of men to do'battle for
their country. AH the poetry of war soon
vanished and left them nothing but the ter¬
rible prose. They waded knee deep in mud.
They slept in snow-banks. They marched
till their cut feet tracked the earth. They
were swindled out of their honest rations
and live t on meat not fit for a dog. They
had jaws all fractured and eyes extinguished
and limb 3 shot away. Thousands ot them
cried for water as they lay dying on the field
the night after the battle and got it not.
They were homosiek and received no mes¬
sage from their loved ones. They died in
barns, in bushes, iu ditches, the buzzards of
the summer heat the only attendants on
their obsequies. No onebut the Infinite God,
who knows everything, knows tho ten-thou¬
sandth part of the length and breadth and
depth and height of the anguish of the
northern and southern battlefields. Why
did these fathers leave their children and go
to the front, and why did these young men,
postponing probabilities the marriage day, start out into For
the of never comiug back?
the country they died. ■ Life ior life. Blood

But we need not go so far. What is that
monument in Greenwood? It is to the doe-
tors who fell in the southern epidemics.
Why go? Were there not enough sick to bo
attended in these northern latitudes? Ob,
yes! But the doctor puts a few medical
books in liis valise, and patients some vlais of in medi¬
cine, and leaves his hero the
hands of other physicians and takes the rail
train. Before he gets to the infeeted regions
he passes crowded rail trains, affrighted regular , and

Substitution!
In tho local profession I see the same prin¬
ciple of self snerlfioo. In 1810 William Froo-
man, a pauperized and idtotlo negro, was at
slain Auburn, tho N. Y., on Van trial for family. murder. The Ha had
entire Nest foam-
ins wrath of the community could be kept
off him only by armed constables. Who
would volunteer to be his counsel? No
attorney wanted to sacriflco his popularity
by such an ungrateful ta 3 k. All were silent
savoone—a young lawyer with feeble voice
that could hardly be hoard outside the bar,
H. pale Seward, and thin and awkward. It was William
who saw that tho prisoner was
idiotio and irresponsible nnd ought to be put
In an asylum rather than put to death,
tho heroio counsel uttering these beautiful
words:
"I speak now in the hearing of a people
who demned have prejudged pleading prisoner In his behalf. and con¬
me for He
is a convict, a pauper, a negro, without intel¬
lect, sense or emotion. My child with an
affectionate smile disarms my careworn face
of its frown whenever I cross my threshold.
The beggar in the street obliges me to give
because he says, ‘God ble«s you!’ as I pass.
My dog caresses me with fondness if I will
but smile on him. My horae recognizes me
when I fill his tnaager. What reward, what
gratitude, tion I what expect sympathy here? There and the affec-
cau Look him. Look pris¬
oner sics. at at the assem¬
blage around you. Listen to their lit sup¬
pressed censures and their excited fears and
tell mo whore among my neighbors or my
fellow men, where oven tn his heart I can
expect to find a sentiment, a thought, not to
say of reward or of acknowledgment, or
oven think of of recognition? evidence Gentlemen, what you please, may
this you
bring in what verdict you can, but I assev-
erato before hoaveu and you that, to the
best of iny knowledge and belief, the pris¬
oner at the bar does not at this moment
know why it is that my shadow falls on you
instead of his own.”
The gallows got its viciim, but the post
mortem, examination of the poor creature
showed to all the surgeons aud to all the
world that the public was wrong, that Will¬
iam H. Seward was right and that hard,
stony step of obloquy iu the Auburn court¬
room was the first step of tho stairs of fame
up which he went to the top, or to within
one step of the top, that last denied him
through the treachery of American politics.
Nothing sublitner was ever seen in an Amer¬
ican courtroom than William H. Seward,
without reward, standing between the fury
of the populace aud tho loathsome imbecile.
Substitution!
In the realm of tho flue arts there was as
remarkable an instance. A brilliant but
hyperoriticised painter, volley Joseph William
Turner, was met by a of Europe. of abnso His from
all the art galleries paint¬
ings, which have since won the applause of
ad civilized nations—“The Fifth Plague of
Egypt.” Squally Weather,” “Plshermcu “Calais on a Pier.” Lee Shore “The In
Sun
Rising Through Mist” aud “Dido Building
Carthage"—wore then targets for critics
to shoot at. In defense of this out¬
rageously abuse! man a young author of
twenty-four years, just one year out of
college, came forth with his pea and
wrote the ablest and most famous essays
on art that the World ever saw or ever
will see—John Buskin’s “Modern Pain¬
ters.” For seventeen years this author
fought tho battles of the maltreated artist,
and after, in poverty and broken hearted¬
ness, the painter had died and the public
tried to undo their cruelties toward him. by
giving him a big funeral and burial in St.
Paul’s cathedral, his old-time friend took
out of a tin box 19,000 pieces of paper con-
taining drawings by the old painter, and
through many weary and uncompensated
months assorted and arranged them for pub-
l(o observation. Peoplo say John Buskin
in his old days is cross, misanthropic and
morbid Whatever he may do that he ought
not to do, and whatever ho may say that ha
ought not to say between now and his death,
he will leave this world insolvent as far as
it has any oapaoity to pay this author’s pen
for its chivalrlo and Christian defense of a
poor painter’s Blood pencil. for John bloo.d. Buskin Substitution! for Will-
iam Turner.

eyes had that peculiar lackluster ap¬
pearance which always accompanies
decrepit old age. Jeanette had passed
through tho hands of so many show¬
men that to anyone of these her entire
history is practically unknown. She
came in possession of her last owner
in 1885. Previous to that time, it is
estimated by those who know scraps
of the aged elephant’s career, she had
been owned by at least forty different
persons. She was of African birth and
was sold for a bagful of gold. Anyone
who saw her, and was familiar with
elephants, would know in an instant
that she was an African. Her ears
were of the enormous, “umbrella”
kind, which make elephants look not
unlike huge foxhounds.
The first that was known of Jeanette
in this country was in 1823. At that
time an agent of au American menag¬
erie was in England, and there saw the
elephant, in company with a number
of others just arrived from the Cape,
as Africa ts termed iu Britain. Bbe
had been employed as a working ele¬
phant for some time in Africa previous

that it was at least forty times. It is
certain, however, that there has been
no prominent menagerie in the cottn-
try in the last half century which has
not had a claim on Jeanette at one
time or another. When elephants be¬
gan to be common Jeanette’s fame
faded. She was probably vtorld the most

everyone who ever had anything to do
with her.
Although possessed of this good
nature, she was resentful of fanoied
or real injuries, and if she once took a
dislike to a person woe betide that
unfortunate ventured within individual if he ever
reach of her trunk.
Jeanette had an antipathy to a
painter named Fraser, which seemed
to turn her against all painters. Once
she broke loose and discovered a gang
of painters outside the gate on their
way from work to dinner. She gave a
shrill warning and thundered after
them. They ran as fast as they could,
but Jeanette gained so rapidly that
they were forced to take refuge in a
barn, the great doors of which swung
right open. Jeanette pressed them
so hard that they climbed up into the
haymow, and there the elephant kept
them until their cries for help brought
aid.
Jeanette was not a large elephant.
She weighed only three tons. She
had a persuasive way, however, when¬
ever she took after anyone. To tell
the complete story of her escapades
would be an almost endless task. The
greater portion of them were good-
natured, and she was never known to
really hurt anyone who had not in¬
jured her. It was a favorite pastime
of hers whenever she broke loose in
the menagerie tent to make for tfie
lemonade venders, put them to flight
and drink all their lemonade. This
she seemed to consider a most delight¬
ful treat. The same method of treat¬
ment was applied to the men and boys
who dispensed candy, and Jeanette
appropriated so much of their stock
that they grew to be afraid to venture
near her.
The people of Pern mourn for Jean¬
ette. She was one of the sights of the
town during the winter season, and
was a friend of two-thirds of the
lation. Her funeral was as largely at¬
tended as that of the most prominent
citizen would have been. She was
only an elephant, but it is something
to have been a good elephant.

Corn
is a vigorous feeder and re¬
sponds well to liberal fertiliza¬
tion. On corn lands the yield
increases and the soil improves
if properly treated with fer¬
tilizers containing not under
7% actual
Potash.
A trial of this plan costs but
little and is sure to lead to
profitable culture.
All about Potash—the results of its United use by actual ex¬
periment on the best farms in the States—is
told in a little book which we publish and will gladly
mail free to any farmer in America who will write for it.
