Consciousness, and the sermon in full is

Text: “And another camp, snvlng. Lord,
behold, here is thy pound, which I have
^use'thouart an P an“tere man.^ t * e<> *
And he saith up to liim, Out of thine own
mouth will I judge thee, thou wiolced ser¬
vant.”—St. Luke xix., 20-22.
The lord of tho parable, about to go
away into n “far country,” had given to
each of his servants a certain amount to
make use of while he was away. For these
three the amount given is specified, but to
ail his servants he gave something. “To
each man,” the parable says, “according to
bis several ability.” Only three are spe-
eially designated, because they serve ns
sufficient illustrations of the highest, the
medium aud tho lowest gift. Eachreceiver
mm9 t 0 j lav o known that the amount
handed him was not a gift outright, but a
trust, and that bis lord would eventually
come back and make an accounting. Each,
t)ler ef or e, treated his trust according to the
opinion ho held of his lord.
The substance of tbo parable is evidently
this—that in every man living there is itn-
P lanted n certaln spiritual capacity or
ability- that men huvo this capacity in do¬
Kreo> B0 that ono has clear and distinct
ideas of God and ids duty, another has less,
and another almost none at all. But the
trust of a spiritual Instinct or eonsaious-
n0SSj an q 0 j n conscience which recognizes
this consciousness, belongs to all. None is
so low in the scale of humanity that the
thought of God does not somehow enter
into his life; and whoever has this gift ha 9
also the intelligence to know that he has
it, and to ask himself, at least once in his
life, if only once, what he shall do with it.
With this consciousness of God and this
J conscience there comes a sense of respon-
j slbillty; and judgment. with that there comes a cer-
tatnty of We indorse the rea- the
j soning man of of small the parable capacity when by saying we excuse that he
t does not know any better; of another, that
be ought tt to have known bettor, and of a
thirclf that ll0 did know bettor; and the
popular judgment condemns each man
With a severity according to his gift of
capacity, his conscience, his educated or
uneducated sense of the value of the gift
w hich determines Ills use of It, and the very
I to have made no use of the gift. It was the
servant who knew his gift and his lord,
even though he know him wrongly, and
then mado no use of his gift, who excited
his lord’s anger,
Make much of the thought, for it has
much in it. If we grant the universal oon-
sciousness of God and the universal con¬
science, then everyone is bound to conduct
himself always under pressure of the
thought that' one day he will be called
upon to answer to God for his use of these
capacities. If a man only recognizes God
by taking His name in vain, that is a recog¬
nition. And in actual fact there are many
people who excuse themselves in their neg¬
lect of religion on tho very grounds on
which this man of the parable rested his
defence—viz., harsh and distorted ideas of
God and religion. They do not see that
logically a man with harsh ideas of God
ought to be the stricter in his life for that,
if he shapes his conduct by his theory and
if he expects God to judge him by bis own
confession. If my whole Idea of religion is
that it is such a straight and narrow
way that I cannot walk in it without
help from above, and, knowing that
I must walk init if I would be saved, I have
yet never sought that help, shall I care to I
plead this stand neglect as an excuse when
come to before a righteous judge?
Whether the napkin in which wo tie up our
religious consciousness be clean and white
with the starch and bluing and ironing of a
self-satisfied morality or filthy with the
stains of every self-indulgence will make
no difference with the fact that we tied it
up and buried it. When capital combines
for selfish purposes we know what to say
of It; when an anarchist wants a division deal
of capital for his own benefit we can
with him. But when a man puts his thou¬
sands in an old stocking and hides it under
his chimney hearth we simply call him a
miser—a miserable one. He may plead that
he had no faith in banks, but we condemn
him nevertheless. Again the common
judgment In illustrates shops the parable. find device to
some you may a
keep check upon business transactions. A
little disc springs up in full sight of buyer,
seller and employer, sight records the price the close and
drops, out of again. But at
of tho day, when the accounting is made,
the registry is there and the balance must
agree with that . A man’s conscience is like
this—every mind thought of record God and duty that
comes into is on there—a good
thought, or a mistaken thought, or a bad
thought, it hold up its signal for a moment
in the presence of all who cared to look, and
made its unalterable reoord of what was
done. When the time comes thejudges—
God and conscience, and even tho popular
judgment—will at the transaction. be at the count, He is as daring they
now are a
thief who with these three looking on can
try to take money out o'f the box and throw
up a blank. Every thought of God and
duty is a talent, a pound, bringing with it
a demand for interest upon the original
capital of God’s first gift of spiritual con¬
sciousness and conscience, When the day
of reckoning comes we shall be condemned
by every do opportunity better.)'No we belief'can have had to possibly know
and to
warrant neglect. Whatever wo think of
God we are bound to do something.

THE SHELLS |N_ THE BIBLE.
Dr. Talmage Draws an Interesting Les¬
son From Them.
Dr. T. Do Witt Talmage delivered in
Washington a sermon .on “God Every¬
where.” The subject Bible, of the sermon God was
“Concholbgy of found the in the or Exodus Among
the Shells,” as text,
xxx., 34: “And the Lord said unto Moses,
Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte and
onycha.” You not have noticed the shells of
may he said, although in this early
the Bible,
part of the second book God calls you to
oonsider an'd employ them, as He called
Moses to consider and employ them. The
onycha of my text is a shell found on the
banks of the Bed Sea, and Moses and his
army must have crushed many of them un¬
der foot as they crossed the bisected waters,
onyoha on the beach and onycha in the un¬
folded I bed of the of deep. shell beautiful
shall speak this as a
and practical revelation of God, and as
true as the first chapter of Genesis and the
lust chapter of Revelations or every¬
thing between. Not only is Sen, thi 3 shell, the the
onycha, found in the Red but In
waters of India. It not only dolectates beauty, white the
eye with its convolution of
and lustrous, and seriated, but blesses the
nostrils with a pungent aroma. I spoke to
you last Sabbath ot God in the great; now
I speak of God In the small, God in the in-,
finite, and God in the infinitesimal.
It is a secret that vou may keep for mo,
that in all the realms of the natural world
there Is nothing for mo so fascinating, so
completely absorbing, shell. so full What? of divine
suggestiveness as a More
entertaining than n bird, which can sing,
when a shell cannot sing? Woll. thoro you
have mado a great mistako. Pick up th«
onytdia from tho banks of the Bad Sea, or
pick up a bivalve from the beach of th*
Atlantic Ocean, and listen, and you hoar a
whole choir of marine voices—bass, alto,
soprano—in an unknown tongue, but
seeming to chant, as I put them to ray ear,
“The sea is His and He made it.”
As the shell is only the liouso and the
wardrobe of insigniileaut animals of tho
deep, why all the wonder and beauty of
oonstruction? God’s care for thorn is tho
only reason. And if God provide so munif¬
icently for them, will He not see that you
have wardrobe and shelter? Wardrobe and
shelter for a periwinkle; shall there not be
wardrobe and shelter for a man? Would
God give a coat of mail for the defense of a
Nautilus and leave you no defense against
tho storm? Doos He build a stone house
for a creature that lasts a season and leave
without home a soul that takes hold on
centuries aud irons?
But while you get this pointed lesson of
providential care from the sliolled crea¬
tures of tho deop, notice in their construc¬
tion that God helps them to help them¬
selves. This house ol stone in which they
live is not dropped on them and is not built
around them. The material for it exudes
from their own bodies and is adorned with
a colored fluid from the pores ol their own
neck. It is a most interesting tiling to see
these crustacean animals fashion their own
homes out of carbonate of lime and mem¬
brane. And all of this is a mighty lesson
to those who are waiting tor others to build
their fortunes, when they ought to go to
work and, like the moiiusks, build their
own fortunes out of their own brain, out of
their own sweat, out of their own indus¬
tries. Not a rnollusk on all the beaches of
all tho seas would have a house of shell if
it had not itself built one. Do not wait for
others to shelter you or prosper you. All
tho crustncoous creatures of the earth,
from every flake of their covering and
from every ridge of their tiny castles on
Atlantio and Pacific and Mediterranean
coasts, say: “Help yourself, while God
helps you to help yourself.” Have great
expectations from only two persons—God
and yourself. Let the onycha of my text
become your preceptor.
But tho more I examine the shells, tho
more I am impressed that God is a God of
oinotlon. Many scoff at omotion, and
seem to think that God is a God of cold
geometry, and iron laws, and eternal
apathy, aud enthroned stoicism. No, no!
The shells with ovorpoworing emphasis
deny it. While luw and order reign in tho
universe, you have but to see the lavish¬
ness of color on tho Crustacea, all shades
of crimson from tho faintest blush to blood
o£ battlo-ileid, all shades of blue, all
shades of green, all shades of all colors
from deepest black shells to wiiitest light, just
called out on tho with no more order
than a mother premeditates or calculates
how many kisses and hugs she shall give
her babe waking up in the morning sun¬
light. Yes. My God is an emotional God.
And He says: “We must have colors and
let the sun paint all of them on the scroll
of that shell, and we must have music,
and here is a carol for the robin, and a
psalm for man, and a doxology for
the seraphim, and a resurrection
trumpet for tho archangel. Aye, He
showed Himself a God' of sublime
emotion when He flung Himself on this
world in tho personality of Christ to save
It, without regard to the tears it would
take, or the blood it would exhaust, or the
agonies it would crush out. When I see
the Louvres and the Luxembourgs and the
Vaticana of divine painting strewn along
the eight thousand miles of coast, and I
hoar, in a forest, on a summer societies morning,
musical academies and Handel of
full orchestras, I say God is a God of emo¬
tion, and if He observes mathematics, it is
mathematics set to music, and His figures
are written not in white chalk on black¬
boards, but written by a finger of sunlight
on walls of jasmine and trumpet-creeper,
In m y study of the concbology of the
Bible,this onycha of the text also Impresses
me with the fact that religion is perfume.
What else could. God have meant when. He
said to Moses: “Take unto thee sweet
spices, stacte and onycha. Mosestookthat
shell of the onycha, put it .over the fire, and
as it crumbled into ashes, it exhaled an
odor that hung in every curtain and filled
the aneient tabernacle, anditssweet smoke
escaped from the sacred precincts and satu¬
rated the outside air.
Perfdmel That is what religion is. But,
instead of that, some make it a mal-odor.
They serve God in a rough and acerb way.
They box their child’s ears because he does
not properly keep Sunday, instead the of mak¬
ing Sunday so attractive child could
not help but keep it. They make him learn
by heart a difficult chapter inthe Book of
Exodus, with all the hard names because
he has been naughty. How many disa¬
greeable good people there are. No one
doubts their piety, and they will roach
heaven, but they will have to get fixed up
before they go there, or they will make
trouble by calling out to us, “Keep off that
grass!” "What do you mean by plucking
that flower?” “Show your tickets!" Oh,
how many Christian people need to obey
my text, and take into their worship and
their behavior and their consociations
and presbyteries and general assemblies
and conferences more onychu.
But what thrills mo with suggestivenes-s
is the material out of which all pearls are
made. They are fashioned from tho wound
of the shellfish. The exudution from that
wound is fixed and hardened and enlarged
into a pearl. Tho ruptured vessels of the
water animal fashioned tho gem that now
adorns finger or earring, or sword hilt or
king’s crown. So, out of the wounds of
earth will come the pearls of heaven. Out
of tho wound of conviction tho pearl of
pardon. Out of the wound ol bereavement
the pearl of solace. Out of the wound of
loss the pearl of gain. Out of the deep
wound of the grave pearl of resurrection
joy. Out of the wounds of a Saviour’s
death, the rioh, the radiant, the everlast¬
ing pearl of heavenly gladness. “And the
twelve gates were twelve pearls.” Take
the consolation all ye who have been hurt
—whether hurt in body or hurt in mind or
hurt in soul. Get your troubles sanctified.
If you suffer with Christ on eorth you will
reign with Him in glory. The tears of earth
are the crystals of heaven. “Every several
gate was one pearl.”

Judge Paul in the United States Court at
Abingdon, Va. Thomas Payne, Pastinaster
ut Pilot, Montgomery County, complained
that the owners of all the laad3 within a
radius of one mile of his office had refused
to rent or sell a site on which he might
open his office. He procured an omnibus,
which he placed in the road and used as an
office. B. M. Guerrant sued out in the
County Court a writ of unlawful'detntner,
but Judge Paul, on the petition of Post-
master Payue, issued a temporary injunc-
tionrestraining Guerrant and tho the Postmas- deputy
sheriff from Interfering with

the same Postmaster’s opponents, requir¬
ing them to appear before the court aud
show cause why the temporary injunction
should not be perpetuated.

A KITTEN IN A HO RSE’S THROAT.
The Carnivorous Taste of tho Latter Ani¬
mal Almost Causes Its Death.
Pnlver Michel is, or was, the name
of a big bay horse belonging to the
Krueger Brewing Company, in
Newark, that tried to swallow a live
kitten and was nearly strangled in tho
operation. The stablemen now call
the horse “Katzenfresser.”
Pnlver Michel, or “Powder
Michael,” so named because of his
disposition, is a peculiar animal. He
has carnivorous tastes, and will eat
meat with as much gusto as tho aver¬
age horse devours hay or oats. One
day, while standing hitched to a wagon
in Jersey City, he ate a large quantity
of beefsteak from a butcher's stand,
and the driver had to pay $2 for the
animal’s extraordinary meal.
There is a cat with several kittens
in the Kruger Brewing Company’s
stable. The litter is four weeks old.
Last Saturday the mother cat took a
fancy to remove her progeny from the
place where she had hidden them to
the manger of Pulver Michel’s stall.
She knew' the horse, and had estab¬
lished friendly relations with him. So
the cat leaped into the manger with a
kitten in her mouth, dropped her
burden in the hay of the manger,
and departed to bring a second
kitten. Pulver Michel bad never
seen a kitten, and, sniffing
at it, recognized in it a piece of fresh
and tender meat. His great mouth
opened and gathered in the kitten, and
then trouble began. The kitten stuck
in his throat aud used its claws. Pul¬
ver Michel stamped and kicked, and
the commotion aroused the other
horses in the stable, which stamped
aud squealed.
The old cat returned to the manger
and ran about searching for her first
kitten. A stablemen ran into Pulver
Michel’s stall, and, seeing blood run¬
ning from the horse’s mouth, called n
veterinary surgeon, who found that
Pulver Michel was choking. His
eyes were dilated, and there was a
large lump in his throat. The tongue
was scratched and bleeding from the
kitten’s claws.
The surgeon thrust liis hand into
the horse’s mouth to try to extract the
object, but could not reach it. Look¬
ing around, the stableman saw the
mother cat mewing in the manger, and
said: “I’ll bet it’s one of the kittens.”
He hunted up the litter and found that
one was gone. The kitten was evi¬
dently still alive in Pulver Michel’s
throat, and, as it could not be extract¬
ed, the surgeon manipulated it by his
hands, and forced it down the throat
into the stomach. Then he gave Pul¬
ver Michel some pepsin and muriatic
acid, to help digestion. Pulver
Michel has been sick since Saturday,
but is getting over his experience, and
will be at work in a few days.—New
York Tribune.
The Part Machinery Plays in Farming.
The smallest implement upon a big
wheat farm is a plough. And from
the plough to the elevator—from the
first operation in wheat-farming to
the last--one is forced to realized how
the spirit of the age has made itself felt
here, and has reduced the amount, of
human labor to the minimum. The
man who ploughs uses his muscle
only incidentally in guiding the ma¬
chine. The man who operates the
harrow has half a dozen levers to
lighten his labor. The “sower who
goeth forth to sow',” walks leisurely
behind a drill and works brakes. The
reaper needs a quick brain and a quick
hand—but not necessarily a strong
arm, nor a powerful back. He works
sitting down. Tho threshers are mere¬
ly assistants to a machine, and the
men who heave the wheat into the
bins only press buttons. The moBt
desirable farm-hand is not the fellow
who can pound the “mauling ma¬
chine” most lustily at the county fair,
He is the man with cunning brain who
cau get the most workout of a machine
without breaking it. The farm laborer
in the West to-day, where machinery
is employed, finds himself advanced
to the ranks of skilled labor, and en¬
joys a position not widely different
from that of the mill-hand in the East.
Each is a tender of a machine.—Scrib¬
ner’s.
The Figure-Head of the “Constitution.’
In 1884 Captain Elliot, who had been
second in command at Lake Erie un¬
der Oliver Perry, excited a violent po¬
litical aud partisan demonstration by
decorating, at the Boston Navy Yard,
the bow of the Constitution w’ith a fig¬
ure-head of President Jackson. One
stormy night his Excellency was de¬
capitated as neatly and deftly as if the
best tools bad with patient labor en¬
listed the brightest sunshine in the
desecration. Marines and bluejackets
were held under dark suspiciou, and
the country seethed in a ferment of
keen contention. Rewards were of¬
fered, but in vain, and for years tbe
secret was well kept. It is now said
that a seaman named Dewey was the
culprit, not for any political motive,
but becans e of a cherished antipathy to

TIPS TO THE COOK.
Slice bacon thin, put in a pan in
single layers and cook in the oven un¬
til slightly brown. It will bean agree¬
able change from frying.
Stir salt, about a teaspoonful to a
gallon, in your cream, and it will pre¬
vent its becoming so sour.
Put cherry leaves, cut up fine, in
your pie plant pies and they will have
a decidedly nice flavor. A very little
soda put in pie plant or gooseberries
will save sugar and not hurt the flavor
of the fruit a particle.
When cooking peas use a spoonful
of sugar to a quart and see if they’re
not better.
In canning berries don’t cook them
to death; when they have all become
thoroughly hot through it is enough.
They will not get soft as when cooked
so long. Seal your fruit as hot as
possible, wrap your cans in several
thicknesses of paper and keep in a
cool, dark place.
Make a strong tea of hickory bark,
use a tablespoonful to a pint of
molasses made of sugar, cooked with
it, and you will have an excellent sub¬
stitute for maple syrup.
The Sturdy Oak.
In the days of the Druids the oak
was the “holy tree,” the earthly sym¬
bol of the Supreme Being. Beneath
its protecting branches sacrifices were
made, and out of its groves spoke the
sacred voice of oracle. Whatever grew
upon it was reverenced, especially the
mistletoe. Celt aud Saxon alike re¬
garded it as representing strength,
dignity and grandeur. They leaned
their frail dwellings against its strong
trunk, and its sturdy branches so well
protected them from the fierce storm
king that in thanksgiving they hung
gifts upon them and sang to the brave
old oak.
