DR.TAIiMAGE’S SERMON The Eminent Divine’s Sunday Discourse. Subject: ** Significance of the Flowers”— They Hear Message* of Cheer to the Heart-sirk and Despairing—Their Ap¬ propriateness at Obsequies. Text: “If then God so clothe the grass which is to-duy in tho Held, and to-mor¬ row is cast into tho oven, how much more will He clothe you, O ye o£ littlo ialthV”— 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¬ low in the Is the lily mentioned; only twice tho rose. 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 •o with chemistry, it is so with juris¬ prudence, it isso with physiology, science ot it botany is so with geology—but the Christ commands us to study when He gays, “Consider the lilies.” Measurethem from root to tip of gracefulness petal. Inhale their 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 | I speak, they thunder; when the whirlwinds I speak they scream, when the cataracts I speak they always roar, but when I the stand flowers here I speak they whisper. have 1 to interpret their message. What I you to say to us, 0 ye angels of the grass? 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 “If’God are prophetesses of adequate wardrobe. 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, f 0e the casket, flowers for flowers for the cemetery. What a contrast 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 bloom rolling to the top of the mounds and then breaking into foaming crests ot while (lowers all around the billows of dust. der It Is tho difference between under sleeping an’em- un rags and sleeping d Mortality broldered bbinlcot.

It makes no difference to them.” I think 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? When I am dead, I would like to have a handful of violets—any one could pluck them out of thegrass.br some one could lift from the edge of the pond a water lily -nothing rarely expensive, no insane tils- play, as sometimes at funeral rites, where tie display takes tile bread from the chil¬ dren’s mouths and the clothes from backs, but something from the great de- inocracy of flowers. Bather than imperil catafalque of Russian Czar, I ask some one whom I may have helped by gospel sermon or Christian deed to bring a sprig of ar¬ butus or a handful of China asters. It was left for modern times to spell re¬ spect for the departed and comfort for the living in letters of floral gospel. Pillow of flowers, meaning rest for the pilgrim who has got to the end of his journey. An¬ chor o< flowers, suggesting the Christian 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 the garden there was a sepulchre.” I wish that every sepulchre might be in the “if you ask me the question, What are flowers good for? I answer, “For religious symbolism.” Have you ever studied Scrip¬ tural flora? The Bible is an arbcretnm.it Is a divine conservatory, it is a herbarium of exquisite beauty. If you brightest want to human illus¬ trate the brevity of the life, yon will quote from Job, “Maucometli forth as a flower and is cut down.” Or you of thoTefiLs^lm^pwlsheth;’ tlm wTufipTs- seth over it aud it is gone,” Or you will quote from Isaiah, “All flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof is as tho floiver c.’ the field.” Or you will quote from James the apostle, “As the flower of the grass, so he passeth away.” What graphic Bible symbolism! also afford mighty symbolism of- Flowers C!irist,who compared Himself to the ancient queen, the lily, and the modern queen, the rose, when He said: “li am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.” Redo- lent like the one, humble like the other.

The flowers spell resurrection. all 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!

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. Tfo-To~Bac for Fifty Cent*.

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.
