TALMAGE’S SERMON. [The Eminent Divine's D scourse. Subject: '‘Moral Expansion”—Our Duty to tho Heat liens In the Philippine Islands —Suggestions as to What We Should Do For Xholr Religious Welfare. [Copyright. Louis Klopsch, 1899.] Washington, Talmage.steers D. O.—In this discourse Dr. dear of rue political entanglements of time and * our recom¬ mends that which will meet the approval of nil who hope for tho perpetuity of our republic [Genesis and the welfare of other laqds; text, abroad to xxviii., 14, “Thou shalt spread the west and to tho east.” Slnoettie Amerioano-Hispanlo war ls eon- eluded and the United States Embassador is on the way to Madrid and the Spanish Embassador is ou tho way to Washington tho people of our eountry are divided into expansionists different standpoint and’anti-expansionists. From a than that usually taken I discuss this all-absorbing theme. J leave the political aspeot of this subjeot to statesmen and warriors and pray Al¬ mighty God that they may be enabled rightly plands to settle the question whether the In controversy shall be finally an¬ iexe(L ot hey.under protectorate il r re- Igned to themselves, while i call attention b the fact that a campaign of moral and ellgious expansion ought to bo immedta- ■ely opened on widest and grandest scale. ■ At the olose of this war God has put Into ■he hands of this country' the key to the Ivorld’s redemption. Heretofore the re¬ ligious fcrecede movement in pagan lands had to the educational. After in China fond India and the islands of tho sea the [missionaries beventy-flve years have tbe labored printing over fifty and or Itbe secular school press [advantage came Id. Now to better than ever before religious aud secular enlightenment may go side by side, and so the work be accomplished in short time and more thoroughly. Starting with ithe fact that in Cuba and Porto Rico aud the Philippine Islands at least three-fourths of the people cun neither read nor write, what an opportunity for sohool and print¬ ing press! Within five years every man in those islands may be taught to read not only the Bible, but tho Declaration of In¬ dependence and the Constitution of the United States aud the biography of George .Washington and of Abraham Linooln. I It seems to me that the Government of The United States ought by vote of Con¬ gress afford common schools and printing presses to those benighted regions. Our National Legislature by one vote appro¬ priated $50,000,000 to give bread and med¬ icine to Cuba. Why not by a similar gener¬ osity give $50,000,000 for feeding and heal¬ ing the minds and souls of those ignorant land besotted archipelagoes. In the name bf God I nominate a school for every neigh¬ borhood of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil¬ ippines. b’clock As soon as the gavel falls at 12 of next December 4 on the table of Kenate and House of Representatives and Iho roll has been called and tbe prelimin¬ aries observed let some member of our Na¬ tional Legislature, with mind and soul and voice strong enough to bo beard not only through those halls, but through Christen¬ dom, propose a measure for the mental and m 0 ral disecttirallment of the Islands in controversy. I What has made American civilization the highest keen? civilization the world has ever Next to the Bible and the church, schools, common schools, schools reaching from the Atlantic to tho Pacific and from British America to Gulf of Mexico. Five wears find under such educational advantage, this whole subject that keeps our pub¬ lic men agitated, some of them to frothing fit the mouth, will settle itself. Give those Islands readers, spellers, arithmetics, his¬ tories, blobes. blackboards, maps, geographies, Let the State Legislatures at their next meeting, some of them assembling in early autumn, take parts of those islands under their especial educational patron¬ age. What is needed is State and National ■otion k in this matter of schools, pnited Then let the editorial associations of the States, as many of such organiza¬ tions [next as there are States, resolve at the convocation to establish in every re¬ gion of those islands a printing press, sup¬ ported by people of this country until it can become self-supporting. Each of these State Editorial Associations sending out to those Islands at least one editor and two reporters and enough typesetters, down will go the ignorance and superstition of those islands as certainly as the Spanish fleet under Cervera sank under the pound¬ ing of our American will battleships, and into their every port go intelligence and love of free institutions as certainly as into the harbor of Manila went Admiral Dewey on that famous night when he was not ex¬ pected. Hoe’s printing pressl Nothing can stand before its bombardment. Ed¬ itors of American newspapers and pub¬ lishers of American books! Take the or¬ dination for such a magnificent service. Eloquence on yonder Capitol hill cannot meet the exigency. Epigrams Legislatures of political platforms or in State will not hasten the desired consummation one week or one hour or one moment. When Cubans and Porto Rican and Fili¬ pinos see the morning and evening news¬ papers thrown into the' doorways and hawked along the streets of Havana and Santiago and Manila, those who cannot read by the force of curiosity will learn to read, so that they may Juiow what infor¬ mation is being scattered, and that which may be missionary effort at the start and carried on by Americans sent forth to do the work will’ soon be done by educated na¬ tives. Porta Ricans editorsl Porto Rican reporters! Porto Rican typesetters! Porto Rican publishers! It was a great mercy to take these islands from under the heels of despotism, but it will be a mightier mercy to emancipate them from ignorance and degradation. The expansion of the knowl¬ edge and intellectual qualification of all those Islandy regions is the desire all of all in¬ telligent Americans. Awake, you schools aud colleges and universities and printing presses, to your opportunity! Still further, here is a wide open door for Christianity. First of all, we have the at¬ tention of those people! The heathen nations are for the most part soporific. The American missionaries heretofore had great difficulty in getting heathendom to listen. They excited some comment by their nttire, so uifferent was the parting of the hair and the shape of the hut and the cut of the coat and the formation of the shoe of the evangelizers, but the questions constantly arose in regard to the mission¬ ary: “Who ls he?” “What is he here for?” And then the interrogator would relax into the condition previous ot stupid things indifference. has But that American pnssed. awakened The guns of our navy have those populations. They have found They do not ask who we are. listening to out. They are now wiat American civiliza¬ tion and our Christina religion have to say on any subject. Novt is tho time, while their ears and eyes are wide open, to tell them of the rescuing and salvable and in¬ spiriting power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. The steam printing press iihloh secular educa¬ tion plants there may 40 used and will be used to print rellgioui newspapers and traots and sermons and nighty dise#sions of questions temporal an\ eternal. Tbe comfortable homesv those popula¬ tions, Wffon Christianized, landing side by side with the degraded hu re*i ot those who remain pagans will be u tionary for good.

It has occurred Btnoe Christ came. It till His Perhaps there may be nothing like second coming. Here Is a delln- iteness of atm that Is most helpful and In¬ spiring. The millions of dollars given for the redemption of the world and the thou¬ sands of glorious missionaries who have gone forth among barbaric nations wore given and e llisted under u great and im¬ measurable Idea. But when they come to add to the great and immeasurable idea the Idea of definiteness we will infinitely augment the work. More than three hun¬ dred million of heathen in India, more than three hundred million of people in China and more millions of heathens than can be guessed outside of those countries some¬ times stagger and confound and defeat our faith. But here In these islands of preeout controversy we can farm out the work among the churches and In fiveyenrs, under the blessing ot God, not only fit the peo¬ ple for the right of suffrage, but pre¬ pare them for usefulness and heaven. The difference between the general idea of the world’s evangeliza¬ tion and some particularized Hold of Evangelization is the difference between the improvement of agriculture a mong all nations and the Improvement of seventy- five acres put under one’s especial cure and industry. By all means let the gen¬ eral work go on. But here is the specific field for religious concentration and de¬ velopment. This Is not chimerical or im¬ practical. I read this morning that the American Missionary Association of the Congregational Church has already begun the work at San Juan, Utuudo and Albon- ito, and all denominations of Christians in six months will be in those islandy fields, and we all need with our prayers und contributions to cheer them on to take for God and righteousness those regions which our American navy has captured from Spanish estimated perfidy. that It has been this Americo- Spanish war oost us $3(0,000,000. It would not cost half of that to proclaim and carry on and consummate a holy war that will rescue those archipelagoes from satanio domination. Who will volunteer? I beat the drum of a recruiting station. Who will enlist under the one sparred, blood striped banner of Immanuel? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines "are stepping stones for our American Christianity to cross over and take the round world for God. We need a new evangelical allianoe organized for this one purpose. In all de¬ nominations there are those with large enough hearts and who have been thor¬ oughly enough advanced converted to . join in such an movement—men who, putting aside all the minor differences of opinion, “believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son,” and who would march shoulder to shoulder in such a Gospel campaign. The result would be that those Islands, after such a scene of gospelization, would assort thomselves into denominations to suit themselves, and some would be sprinkled in holy baptism and others would be im¬ mersed in those warm rivers and some would worship in religious assemblage silent as the Quaker meeting house, and others would have as many jubilant ejacu¬ lations as a backwoods camp meeting, and some of those who preached would be gowned and surpliced for the apparel work, and others would stand in citizen’s or in their shirtsleeves preaching that Gospel which is to save the world. Mark you well that statesmanship, how¬ ever grand noble, it is, and wiso do men this of the world, Mere however cannot work. secular education does not moralize. Some of the most thoroughly educated men in all thq world have been the worst men. Quicken a man’s intellect,while at thesame time you do not make his morals good, and you only augment his power for evil. Geo¬ graphy and mathematics and metaphysics and philosophy will never qualify a people to govern thomselves. A corrupt printing press is worse than no printing press at all, but let loose an open Bible upon those islands and let the apocalyptic angel once them, and you will prepare them to become either oolonies of the United States Government, or, as I hope will be the case, independent republics. God did not exhaust Himself when He built this nation. The islands will yet have their Thotnos Jeffersons, qualified to write for them declarations of independence; and George Washingtons, capable of achieving their liberties; and Abraham Liacolns, strong enough to emancipate their serf¬ doms, and Longfellows and Bryants, cap¬ able of putting their bills and their rivers and their landscapes into poems; and the Bancrofts and Prescotts, to make their his¬ tories; and their Irvings, to write their Sketch Books; and their Charles O’Conors and Rufus Choates, to plead in their court¬ rooms; and theirDaniel Websters and John J. Crittendens, to move their Senates. The day cometh—bear it all ye who huve no hope for those islands of be-dwarfed and diseased illiterates—the day cometh when those regions will have a Christian civilization equal to that which this coun¬ try now enjoys, while I hope by that time this country wiH be as superior to what it now is as to-day Washington and New York are better than Manila and Santiago. Do you see in this process of gospelized intelligence those archipelagoes will as a propheeised nation be protected regard from this the two woes in to country—the one woe propheeised by propheeised the expansionists and the other woe by the anti-expansionists? It is said by those who would have us take all we can lay our hands on as a nation that, unless we enter the door now open for the enlargement of our national domain, we will decline the mission which God in His providence has assigned us. But surely no woe will come upon U3 or upon them if we Christianize them as we now have the opportunity of doing. The political tech¬ nicalities are nothing as compared with the importance of this movement. I im¬ plore all political expansionists and to relig¬ aug¬ ment us in this work of moral ious expansion, for unless those islands are moralized and elevated in intelligence aud habits we do not want them, and their annexation would be political damnation. On the other hand, I imploro all anti- expansionists to take a hand In tho gos¬ pelization of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. The only way to pre- pare them to take care of themselves is to give them the Ten Commandments that were published on Mount Sinai and let them hear the groan of sacrifice that was breathed out on the heights of Golgotha. Wbat they most want is thb Gospel, the pure Gospel, the omnipotent Gospel, the Gospel that helps heal the wounds of the body and irradiates the darkness of the mind and achieves the ransom of the soul. But on this platform th? so called ex¬ pansionists and so called anti-expansionists I will yet stand side by side. Though am Dot a prophet or the son of a prophet, within five years, it this religlo-educational will be work Is properly attended to, there a Cuban republio, a Porto Rloan them republic and a Philippine republic, one of have their on a large scale, but they will all schools und printing presses and evangeli¬ cal churches, their Presidents, their Senates and House of Representatives, their Mayors and'thelr constabularies, and as good or¬ der will be observed In their cities as now reigns on Pennsylvania avenue, Washing¬ ton, or Broadway, New York. Christ has started for the conquest of the natious, and nothing on earth or in hell can stop It. The continents are rapidly rolling into His dominion, and why not these isl¬ ands, which for the most part are only fragments broken off from continents, the interval lands having been sunk by earth¬ quakes, allowing the ocean to take mas¬ tery over them. Eaoh mother continent has around it a whole family of little conti¬ nents. If the continents are being so rapidly evangelized, why not the Islands? If America, why not Cuba and the Baha¬ mas? If Asia, why not the Philippines and the Moluccas? If Europe, why not the Azores and the Orkneys? If Africa, why not Madagascar and St. Helena. The same power that broke them off the main¬ land can lift them into evangelization. An Argument. Mamma—“Buy you a Billygost? thing.” I couldn’t think of such a Johnny—“Oh, mamma!

There is probably not a port at which ships ever toiteh where the busi¬ ness of bumboating does not exist. In China it Is especially active as well as at the various ports of Indo-China and British India. The bumboatmen of Alexandria, Egypt, are said to be the laziest of their profession. Too indo¬ lent to make an effort to get alongside a ship, they sail aimlessly up and down among vessels in the harbor, crying monotonously, “Ebryting! ebry- ting!” This is intended to describe the extensiveness of their wares, but It is deceptive, for they usually have next to nothing to sell. Sometimes they rouse themselves just before a ship is about to depart, and come alongside, offering pigeons «nd other birds and animals, which the sailors often buy for pets. In far-away Madagascar the natives are enthusiastic bumboat trad¬ ers, and frequently swarm about the ship in great numbers.—New York Tri¬ bune. Mules.for the FIJI Island*.

Dr. George F. Keene, of Howard, B. I., read a paper on “Municipal Respon¬ sibility In the Spread of Tuberculosis” before tho twenty-sixth national con¬ ference on charities und correction at Cincinnati. Lively interest, was taken In the paper and the discussion which followed It. “Every new case of tuberculosis,” Dr. Keene suid, “must be derived from anotlier case of direct or Indirect lnfec- i tion. The disease only be trans- i can j yjjittod to the tulxTCUle bacilli, ‘‘This is a disease which lias claimed more victims than all the wars aud all the plagjies and scourges of the human race. Even since the few short years since Koch’s discovery over 2,000,000 persons on this conti- nent have succumbed to Its fatal infec- lion. The annual tribute of the United States to this scourge is over 100,000 of its inhabitants. “Each year the World yields up 1,- 095,000; each day, 5,000; each minute, 2, of its people as a sacrifice of this plague. Of the 70,000,000 Individuals now peopling these United States 10,- 000,000 must inevitably die of this dis- ease if the present ratio is kept up. “The underlying principle in any warfare against tuberculosis must be i the universal knowledge and recogni- [ tlon of the fact that WC are to deal ^ dlsease that „ commu nlcated j f rom one individual to another, and j whoie , the re are „__ _ no _ germs rtnrn , 0 of nf thn the die dis- ease there it can never originate de I ->ovo. A house, a neighborhood, a coun. try, In fact, can become Infected with this disease, and this fact has been re- peatedly established by historical data. “That meat from the tuberculosis animals is capable of producing tuber¬ culosis has been demonstrated by scientific experiments. We cook our meat, but the lovers of rare roast beef and rare steak, or even Bologna sau¬ sage, will probably often take into their stomachs many tubercle bacilli whose vitality has been unimpaired. “But what are we to say of the thou¬ sands of Infants that die annually from tubercular lesions as a result of taking milk from tuberculous cows? Whose ls the responsibility for feeding them upon a diet whose results are as surely fatal as slow poison if they be¬ long to the large majority of the sus¬ ceptible? Milk is one of the chief in¬ fected foods which we obtain from the lower animals, and it is the only ani¬ mal food which we consume uncooked. The milk supply of a municipality should be as carefully watched as its water supply. “The people must know just what this disease is and just how it is con- tracted. They must be taught that the chief agent of contamination in the human family is the sputum. How important, then, are those newer ordi¬ nances which many cities are now making, prohibiting spitting in public places, public buildings and public conveyances? “Consumption is an Indoor disease. Where sunlight and pure air are boun¬ tifully enjoyed there tuberculosis can find but little lodgment.” Confusion In Telepathy. A very remarkable occurrence has been brought to my notice. Recently a well known lady, who shall be called Jones, dreamed a ridiculous dream, as inconsequential as most dreams are. Mrs. Jones dreamed that a dog of hers had died and that sue received an offi¬ cial communication ordering her either to cremate the remains or to herself skin the animal and throw tbe body into the river. Mrs. Jones chose the latter alternative, but having half skinned the body and becoming tired threw It as it was into the water. The dog disappeared for an Instant and then reappeared on the surface alive and, swimming across to the opposite bank, trotted off, evidently in great suffering. There ends the dream. The next morning the postman brought sev¬ eral letters. The first one was ad¬ dressed to Lewis Jones, Esq.—there being no such person—and ran as fol¬ lows: “Sir, your dog crossed the riv¬ er last night on to my property, but being very severely injured it was found necessary to kill it. Should you wish to have the collar, which bears your name and address, I shall be hap¬ py to send it to you.” No dog belong¬ ing to Mrs. Jones had died nor had she lost one!—London Truth.

Freelns a Domestic Bogle, A friend of mine, vrho told me the story, had nn eagle. He caught it when it was young, and had brought It up, as far as he could, like a domestic fowl. Having to go to the other side of the world, he was selling off every¬ thing. He wemdered wliat he should do with the eagle, and the happy thought came to him ths.t be would not give It to anybody, but would give It , back to Itself—he would set it free, And he then opened the place in which it had been kept, and brought It to the back green. How he was astonished! u wa lked about, feeling as if tills i were rather bigger than Ills ordinary rnn , but that was nil. Ho was digap- pointed, and taking the big bird In his arms, he lifted It up and set it up on | | Uls garden wall. It turned and looked down at him! The sun had been ob- j soured behind a cloud, but just then the cloud passed away, and the bright, warm beams poured out. The eagle lifted Its eyes and pulled Itself up. I wonder what It was thinking? Can an eagle recollect the cliffs and crags, the reveling In the tempests of long ago, the joyous thunder and the flashing lightnings? Pulling itself up, It lifted one wing and stretched it out and it lifted the other wing and outstretched It. Then it gave a scream, and soon was a vanishing speck in the blue of heaven.—Presbyterian Banner, Are You Using Allen’s Foot Ease?
