Ltihe xii., 28.
The lily is the queen ot Bible flowers-
Tbe rose may have disputed her throne in
modern times and won it, but tho rose orig¬
inally had only five petals. It was under
tho long continued aud intense gaze ot the
world that the rose blushed into its pres¬
ent beauty. In the Biblo train, cassia and
hyssop and frankincense and myrrh and
spikenard the lily. and Fourteen camphor times and the rose Bible fol¬

The rose may now have wider empire, but
tho lily reigned in the time of Esther, in
the time of Solomon, in tho time ot Christ.
Closer bad his throne on the hills. The lily
had her throne in the valley. In the great¬
est sermon that was and ever preached lily. there
was only one flower, that a The
Bedford dreamer, John Banyan, entered
the house ot the interpreter, and was
shown a cluster of flowers and was told to
“consider the lilies.”
We may study or reject other sciences at
our option—it is so with astronomy. It ts

prudence, it isso with physiology, science ot it botany is so
with geology—but the
Christ commands us to study when He

breath. Notice the of their
poise. Hear the whisper of tho white Jips
of the Eastern aud the red lips of the
American lily.
Belonging 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 Illy from the
Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have
the royal blood in their veins. But I take
the lilies of niy text this morning as typical
of all flowers, and their voice of floral
beauty seems to address us, saying, “Con¬
sider the lilies, consider the azaleas, con¬
sider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums,
, consider the ivies, consider the hyacinths,
consider the heliotropes, consider the
oleanders.” With deferential and grateful
and intelligent and worshipful souls con¬
sider them. Not with insipid sentimental¬
ism or with sophoraoric vaporing, but. for
grand and practical and evoryday and, if
need be, homely uses, consider them.
The flowers are the angels of the grass.
They all have voices. When the clouds

This-morning I mean to discuss what flow-
I I ers are good for. That is my subject,
"What are flowers good for?”
I remark, in of the first place, they are good
■ I for lessons God’s providential care.
I r .*fcat was Christ’s first thought. All these
flowers seem to address us to-dav, saying,
1 ' “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 with
the deiv, and God feeds us with the bread
of the sunshine, and God has appareled us
with more than Solomonic regality. We

so clothed us, the grass of the field,
will He not much more clothe you, O 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 life? the journey of life? Half jour¬ the
journey of Can Three-quarters the the
ney of life? you not trust Him rest
of the way? God does not promise you
anything like that which the Roman em¬
peror had on his table at vast expense—500
nightingales’ tongues—but He has promised
to take care of you. He has promised you
the necessities, not tho luxuries—bread,
not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes
the grass of the field, will He not provide
for you, His liviDg and immortal children?
He will.
No wonder Martin Luther always had a
flower on his writing desk for inspiration!
Through the cracks of the prison floor a
flower grew up to cheer Picciola. Mungo
Park, the great traveler and explorer, had
his iiie saved by a flower. He sank down
in the desert to die; but, seeing a flower
near by, it suggested God’s merciful care,
and he got up with new courage and
traveled on to safety. I said the flowers
are the angels of tho grass. I add now they
are evangels ot the sky.
If you ask me the question, What are
flowers good for? I respond, The they are
good for the bridal day. bride must
have them on her brow, and she must
have them in her band. The marriage
altar must be covered with them. A wed¬
ding without flowers would be as inappro¬
priate as a wedding without music. At
such a time they are for congratulation
and prophecies of good. So much ot 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 of 100 cases
it is the very best thing that could have
happened. The world may criticise and
pronounce it an inaptitude and think aud it may might lift
its eyebrows in surprise but the God
suggest something better, of
•who sees the twenty, forty, fifty years
wedded life before they iiave begun ar¬
ranges for the best. So that flowers, in
almost all cases, are appropriate for the
marriage day. The divergences of disposi¬
tion will become correspondences, reck¬
lessness will become prudence, frivolity
will be turned into practicality.
There has been many an aged widowed
soul who hud a carefully locked bu¬
reau and in the bureau a box and in the
box a folded paper and in the folded
paper a half blown rose, slightly fragrant,
diseolored, carefully pressed. She put it
there forty or fifty 'years her ago. wedding On she the
anniversary day of
will go to tho bureau, she will lift the
box. she will unfold the paper and to her
eyes will pe exposed the half blown bud,
and tbe memories of the past will rush
upon her aud a tear will drop upon the
flower and suddenly the it is transfigured, and
there is a stir in dust of the anther and
it rounds out and it is full of life and it
begins to tremble in the procession up the
church aisle, and the dead music of a half
century ago comes throbbing through the
air, and vanished faces reappear and right
hands are joined and a manly voice prom¬
ises, “I will, for better or for worse,” and
the wedding march thunders a salvo of
joy at the departing crowd, but a sigh on
that anniversary day scatters the scene.
Under the deep fetched breath the altar,
the flowers, the congratulating nothing groups are
scattered, and there is left but a
trembling hand holding u faded rosebud,
which is put into the paper and then into
the box and the box carefully placed in the
bureau, aud with a sharp, sudden click of
tbe lock the scene is over.
All, my friends, let not the prophecies of
tlie flowers on your wedding day be false
prophecies! Be blind to each other’s
faults. Make the most the of each other’s the ring ex¬
cellences. Remember vows,
on lbe third linger ot the left hand und the
benediction of the calls lilies.
If you ask me the question, What
are flowers good for? 1 answer, they
are good to honor and comfort tho
obsequies. The worst gash ever
made into the side of our poor
earth is the gash of the grave. It is so
f^neecls^something'to edd'ar'i^up^Fi’owers the hearse,

between a grave in a country oburehynrd,
with the fence broken down ami the
tombstone aslant and tho neighboring
cattle browsing amid the mullein stalks
and the Canada thistles, and a June morn¬
ing in Greenwood, the wave ot roseate

and then breaking into foaming crests ot

you are mistaken. There are not so many
steamers and trains coming to any living
city, as there ore convoys coming from
heaven to earth, and if there be ins,an-
tancous und constant communication be-
tween this world and the better world, do
you not suppose your departed friends
know what you do with their bodies?
Why hail God planted “goldenrod” and
wild flowers in tho forest aud on tho prai-
rie, where no human eye ever sees them.
He planted them there for invisible intelli-
gences to look at and admire, and when in-
visible intelligences come to look at the
wild flowers of the woods and the table-
lands, will they not make excursion and
see the flowers which you have planted in
affectionate remembrance of them?

butus or a handful of China asters.
It was left for modern times to spell re¬

hope which we have as an anchor of the
soul, sure and steadfast. Cross of flow¬
ers, suggesting the tree on which our sins
were slain. If I bad my way, I would cov¬
er up all the dreamless sleepers, whether
in golden handled casket or pine box,
whether a king’s mausoleum or potter’s
field, with radiant or aromatic arbores-
cence. The Bible says, “In the midst of

There is not a nook or corner in the
building but is touched with the incense.
The women carried spices to the tomb of
Christ, and they dropped spices all around
about the tomb, aud from these spices
have grown all the flowers of Easter morn.
The two white robed angels that hurled the
stone away from the door of the tomb
hurled it with such violence down the hill
that it crashed in tbe door ot the world’s
sepulcher, and millions of dead shall come
forth.
However labyrinthine the mausoleum,
however costly the sarcophagus, necropolis, however
architecturally grand the how¬
ever beautifully parterred the family
grounds, we want them all broken up by
the Lord of tho resurrection. The forms
that we laid away with our broken hearts
must rise again. Father and mother—
they must come out. Husbands and wives
—they must come out. Brothers and sisters
—they must come out. Our darling chil¬
dren—they must come out. The eyes that
with trembling fingers we closed must
open in the lustre of resurrection morn.
The arms that we folded in death must join
ours in embrace of reunion. The beloved
voice that was hushed must be returned.
The beloved form must come up without
its infirmities, without its fatigues—it must
come up. Oh, how long tt seems for some
of you! Waiting-waiting for the resur¬
rection! How long! How longl I make
for your broken, hearts to-day a cool, soft
bandage of lilies. I comfort you this day
with the thought of resurrection.
When Lord Nelson was buried in St.
Paul’s Cathedral in Loudon, the heart of
all England was stirred. The procession
passed on amid the sobbing of a nation.
There were thirty trumpeters stationed at
the door of the cathedral with instruments
of music in hand waiting for the signal,
and when the illustrious dead arrived at
the gates of St. Paul’s Cathedral these
thirty trumpeters gave one united blast,
and then all was silent. Yet the trumpets
did not wake the dead. He slept right on.
But I have to tell you what thirty trumpet¬
ers could not do for one man one trum¬
peter will do for all nations. The ages
have rolled on and the clock of the world’s
destiny strikes 8, 10, 11, 12, and time shall
be no longer! Behold the archangel hover-
ingi He takes the trumpet, points it this
way, puts its lips to his lips, and tfien
blows one long, loud, terrific, thunderous,
reverberating and resurrectionary blastl
Look, look! They risel The dead, the

some from the country body, there

the bodies, and then reclothing themselves
in form3 radiant for ascension.
The earth begins to burn, the bonfire of
a great victory. All ready now for the
procession of reconstructed humanity!

'I am 80 proud of you!”
With eyes tenderly expressing the
i fond appreciation and tender love of a
devoted husband, John Blunter turned
gently and Imprinted a kiss upon his
wife’s forehead.
“Yes, my dear,” he continued, “I feel

“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.
“That's just like a woman!” he mut¬
tered indignantly to himself, “Give
her one word of praise and she turns
on you!”—Pearson’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 and 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. .Tust then the
farmer came out and began to feed
Uis 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 would
start away. That made the geese so
uneasy that they could 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.

One of tin- strangest packages which
lias ever been handled by the clerks In
the Watervllle post office was deliver¬
ed to S. S. Lightbody the other after¬
noon. The package was a cocoanue in
the same form in which it was first
taken from the tree. There was no
lag attached to the eocoanut. Instead
the address was written on the husk.
One of the throe sides of the husk was
taken up by the address, which used
up nearly all the space allotted for it.
Another side contained the postage
stamps. Of these there was one fif-
teen-cent stamp, two two-cent stamps,
and, in spite of the fact that the re¬
maining stamp of one-cent denomina¬
tion was one of the stamps issued in
commemoration of the Maine, there
was plenty of room for many more
stamps of the same size, so large was
the surface.

Sultan Feared Maxim Quo.
Hiram Maxim, the inventor of tho
Maxim gun, toils 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, aud was duly impressed with
seeing the small weapon deliver itself
of COO 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.
“They are better where they are.”—
New York Times.
H EALTH and beauty are tho glories of perfect woman¬
hood.
Women who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar
to their sex cannot retain their beauty. Preservation of
features and rounded form is •
_
a duty women owe to themselves.
The mark of excessive monthly suf-
ering is a familiar one in the faces of
young American women.
Don’t wait, young women, until

Gentlemen:—I handle seven or eight differ¬
ent kinds of Chill Tonics but I sell ten bottles
of CJrove’s to where I sell one of the others.
I sold 36 bottles of Grove’s i’litll Tonic in
one day and could have sold more if I had h3d
it on hand. Mr. Dave Woods cured five cases
of chills with one bottle.
Respectfully t _ VINTABD
C OTTON is and will con¬
tinue to be the money
crop of the South. The
planter who gets the most cot¬
ton from a given area at the
least cost, is the one who makes
the most money. Good culti¬
vation, suitable rotation, and
liberal use of fertilizers con¬
taining at least 3% actual
Potash
will insure the largest yield.
We wilt send Free, upon application,
pamphlets that will interest every cotton
planter in tlie South.

Gentlemen:—I write you a few lines of Chill grat¬
itude. I think your Grove’s Tasteless
Tonic is one of the best medicines in the world
for Chills and Fever. I have three children
that have been down with malarial fever for 1ft
months and have bought Chill medicines of all
kinds and Doctor’s bills coming in all the time
un til 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 aid
it. I c&xm)t say too much in its behalf.
Yours truly,
JAMES D. ROBERTS.
