COD AMONG ORCHARDS.
Kev. Dr. Talniago on tho Pomology of
tlie Bible.
Text: “The fruit treo yielding fruit
after its kind.”— Genesis i., 2.
Beginning with the Garden of Eden as
tho first spontaneous, magnificent orchard,
and the expulsion from it of the first pair
because they tasted of tlie forbidden fruit
of the treo of knowledge, Hr. Talmage
continued:
This story of Eden is rejected by some as
but an improbability, nothing if not an impossibility, for to
on earth is easier me
believe than the truth of this Edenic story,
fori have seen the same thing in this year
of our Lord 1897. I could eall them by
name if it were politic and righteous to do
so, the men who have sacrificed a paradise
on earth und a paradise in heaven for one
sin. Their house went. Their library
went. Their good name wont. Their field
of usefulness went. Their health went.
Their immortal soul went. My friends!
there is just one sin that will tuTn you out
of paradise if you do not quit it. You
know wbnt it is and God knows, and you
had better drop the hand and arm lifted
toward that bending bough beforo you
pluck your own ruin. When Adam stood
on tiptoe and took in his right hand that
Satan one round peach, or apricot, or apfde, the
reached up and pulled down
round, beautiful world of our present resi¬
dence. Overworked artist, overwrought
merchant, ambitious politician, avaricious
speculator, Adam’s better take that warning from
orchard and stop before you put
out for'that one thing more,

of plucking from tree of life—
that would bo tod much of thrt heavenly and
orchard. But all manner of varieties,
I will te.il you of at least twelve of tlioso
varieties: Joy of divine worship; joy over
the victories of the Lamb who was HlfiluJ
counting joy over tho repentant dinners; jOy of re¬
old friends; but Own rescue; joy of patriarchs, embracing

with erntiraid* bind with sapphire,
crimson with jasper, and atlash with ame¬
thyst, entered through swinging gates,
their posts, the hinges and their panels of
richest pearl; joy that there is to bo no sub¬
sidence, no reucticfn, no terminus to tho
felicity.
While thoro is enough of Dio pomp of tho
city about heaven for those who liko tho
city best, I thank God there is enough in
the Bible about country scenery in heaven
to please those of us who were born in the
country and never got over it. Now, you
may have tho streets of gold In heaven,
give me tlie orchards, with twelve manner
of fruits, and yielding their fruit every
month; and the leaves of the trees are for
“the healing of the nations; and there
shall bo no more curse, but the throne of
God and the Lamb shall he. in it; and His
servants shall serve Him; ami they shall
see His face, and ifis name shall be in
their foreheads; and there shall be no
night thoro; and tlmy need no caudle,
neither light of the sun, for tho Lord
God glveth them light; and they shall
reign forever and over.” But just think of
a place so brilliant that tho noonday sun
shall ho removed from the mantle of the
sky because it Is too feeble ataperl Yet most
of all am I impressed with the fact that I
am not yet fit for that place, nor you
either. By the reconstructing anti sanc¬
tifying grace of Christ wo need to bo
made all over. And let ns be getting our
passports ready if we want to get into
that country. An earl lily-passport is n
personal the matter, color of telling hair, our height, features, our
girth, complexion, our our
our nml our ago. I cannot
get into a foreign port on your passport,
nor cau you get in on mine. Each'ono of
us for himself needs n divine signature,
written by the wounded hand of the Hon of
God, to get into tho heavenly or ilir.nl, un¬
der tlie laden brandies of which, In Clod's
good time, wo may meet tlie Adam of the
first orchard, and the Holomon of the sec¬
ond orchard, and tho 8t. John of tho Inst
orchard, to sit down under the tree of
which the church in tlie Hook of Canticles
speaks when it sayg: “As the apple treo
among the trees of the wood, so Is my
Beloved among tlie sons. I sat down un¬
der His shadow with great delight and His
fruit wus sweet to my taste;” aud there It
may be found that to-day wo learned the
danger of hankcrkig after one thing more,
and that religion is a luxury, and that
there is a divine antidote for all poisons,
and that wo had created in us an wholesome appetite
for heaven, and that it was a
nod saving thing for us to have discoursed
on the pomology of tho Bible, or (iod
among the orchards.
