TV Asms ot on, D. C.—Many ot the most
Important doctrines of the Bible are by Dr.
Talmage presented in this,sermon In a very
unusual way. Genesis II., 3, “God blessed
I the seventh day.”

l*ion its monument is built into the wall of
f heaven in chrysolite, which, in the strata
of precious stones, is the seventh.
In the Bible we find that Jacob bad to
serve seven years to got Rachel, but she
was well worth it, and, foretelling the
years of prosperity and famine in Pharaoh’s
time, the seven fat oxen were eaten up of
the seven lean oxen, and wisdom is said to
be built on seven pillars, and the ark was
left with the Philistines seven years, and
Naarnan, for the cure of his leprosy,
plunged in the Jordan seven times; the
■dead child, when Elisha breathed into its
mouth, signnled its arrival back into con¬
sciousness by sneezing seven times; to the
house that Ezekiel saw in vision there
were seven steps; the walls of Jericho, be¬
fore they tell down, were compassed seven
days; Zechariah describes a stone with
eyes; to cleanse a leprous house the door
must be sprinkled with pigeons’ blood
seven times; in Canaan were overthrown
seven nations; on one occasion Christ east
out multitude seven devils; on a mountain He fed a
of people with seven loaves, the
fragments left filling seven baskets, and'
the closing passages of the Bible are mag-
1 nifleent and overwhelming with the im-
I agery made up of seven churches, seven
I ' stars, seven candlesticks, seven seals, seven
angels and seven heads and seven crowns
and seven horns and seven spirits and
seven vials and seven plagues and seven
thunders.
Yea. the numeral seven seems a favorite
with the divine mind outside as well as in¬
side the Bible, for are there not seven pris¬
matic colors? And when God with the
rainbow wrote the comforting thought
■ that the world would never have another
deluge Ho wrote it on the scroll of tbe sky
in ink of seven colors. He grouped into
[the jtal of Pleiades the world, seven stars. Rome, hills. the eapi-
sat on seven When

[body [for after are, another as to our seven bodies, years, septennial and so on,
we an¬
imals. So the numeral seven ranges through
nature and though revelation. It is the
number of perfection, and so I use it while
|l speak of the seven candlesticks, the seven
stars, the seven seals and the seven thun¬
ders.

fifty nights have interlocked their shad-

prostrated hopes, and fallen fortunes, and
empty flour barrels, and desolated cradles
and deathbeds. How much we have use
for all the seven candlesticks, with lights
blazing from the top of each one of them!

But, mark you, when I say churches are
not candles, but candlesticks, I cast no
slur on candlesticks. I believe in beauti-
ful candlesticks. The candlesticks that
God ordered for the ancient tabernacle
were something exquisite. They were a
of beauty carved out of loveliness,
They were made of hammered gold, stood
in a foot of gold and had six branches of
blooming all along in six lilies of gold
and lips of gold, from which the can-
^■nses lifted their holy fire. And the best

Golden candlesticks! Scour up the six
lilies op each .branch, and know that the
more lovely and bright they are the more
fit they are to hold the light. But a
Christless light is a damage to the world
rather than a good. Cromwell stabled his
cavalry horses in St. Paul’s Cathedral,
and many now use the churoh in whioh to
atable vanities and worldllness. A worldly
church is a candlestick without the candle,
aud it had its prototype in St. Sophia’s In
Constantinople, built to the glory of God
bv Constantine, but transformed to base
uses bv Mohammed the Second. Built out
of colored marble; a cupola with twenty-
four windows soaring to a height of ISO
feet- the ceiling one great bewilderment of
mosaic; galleries supported by eight
columns of porphyry and sixty-seven col-
umns of green jasper; pine bronze doors
with alto-relievo work, fascinating to the
eye of anjLhrtist; vases and.vestments in-
ornsted with nil manner of precious stones.
Four walls on flro with indescribable
splendor. Though labor was cheap, the
Imlldlnf; cost $1,500,000. Ecclealastical
structure, almost supernatural In pomp
and majesty. But Mohammedanism tore
down from the walls of that building all the
saintly and Cliristly images, and high up
in the dome the figure of the cross was
rubbed out that the crescent ol the bar¬
barous Turk might he substituted. A
great church, but no Christ! A gorgeous
candlestick, but no candle! Ten thousand
such churches would not give the world as
much light as one home-made tallow cau¬
dle by which last night some grandmother
io the eighties put on her speotioles and
read the Psalms of David In larger type.

the land where they have no need of can-
dlestick or “of caudle, neither light of the
sun, for the Lord God giveth them light,
and they shall reign forever and ever.’’
Turn now la your Bible to the seven
stars. We are distinctly told that they are
the ministers of religion. Some are large
stars, some of them small stars, some of
them sweep a wide circuit and some of
them a small circuit, but so far us they are
genuine they get their light from the great
central sun around wUohth.y make revo-
lutlou.
sphere. The solar system would be soon
wrecked If the stars, instead of keeping
their own orbits, should go to hunting
down other stars. Ministers of religion
should never clash. But in all the cen-
tunes of the Christian church some of
these Irving stars have Horace been hunting an Edward
or a BusbneU or an Albert
Barnes. And the stars that were in pur-
suit of the other stars lost their own orbit.
and some ot them could never again And
it. Alas for the heresy hunters! The best
way to destroy error is to preach tha
truth. The best wuy to scatter darkness
is to strike a light. There is in immensity
room enough for all the ministers. The
ministers who give up righteousness and
the truth will get punishment enough any-
how, for they are “the wandering stars for
whom is reserved the blackness of dark¬
ness forever.”
I should like as a minister when I am
dying, to be able truthfully to say what a
captain of the English army, fallen at the
head of his column and dying on the Egyp-
tian battlefield, said to General lYolseiey,
who Came to condole with him: “I led
them straight. Didn’t I lead them
straight, general?” God has put us minis-
ters as captains in this battlefield of truth
against error. Great at last will bo our
chagrin if we fall leading the people the
wrong-way; but great will be our gladness
if, when the battle is over, we oan hand
our sword back to our great Commander,
saying; “Lord Jesus! We led the people
straight! Didn’t we lead them straight?”
The ministers are not all Pecksniffs and
canting hypocrites, as some would have
you think! Forgive me, if having at other
times glorified the medical profession, and
the legal profession, and the literary pro-
fession—I glorify my own, I have seen
them in their homes and heard them In
their pulpits, and a grander array of men
never breathed, and the Bible figure is not
strained when It calls them stars; and
whole constellations of glorious ministers
have already taken their places on high,
where they shine even brighter than they
shone on earth; Edward N. Kirk, of the
Congregational Church; Stephen H. Tyn.af,
of the Episcopal Church; Matthew Simp-
Son, of the Methodist Church; John I)owl"
De Witt, of the Reformed Church; John
Chambers, of the Independent Church,and
there I stop for it so happens that I have
mentioned the seven stars of the seven
ohurches.
I pass on to another mighty Bible seven
and they are the seven seals. St. John in
vision saw a scroll with seven seals, and he
beard an angel cry, “Who Is worthy to
loose the seals thereof?" Take eight or
ten sheets of foolscap paper, paste them
together and roll them iuto a soroll, and
Dave the scroll at seven different places
sealed'with sealing wax. You unroll the
scroll till you come to one of these seals,
!iac i tfien you can go no farther until you
break that seal; then unroll again until
you go on until all the seven seals a,ro
broken, and the contents of the entire
30 roll revealed. Now, that scroll with
seveu sea ls held bv the angel was the
prophecy of what was to come on the
earth; it meant that the knowledge of the
future was with God, and no man and no
angel was worthy to open it; but the Bible
says Christ opened It and broke all the sew-
en seal3. He broke the first seal and un-
rolled the scroll, and there was a picture of
a white horse, and that meant prosperity
and triumph for the Roman empire, and so
ft really came to pass that for ninety years
virtuous emperors succeeded each other—
Nerva, Trajan and Antoninus. Christ iu
the vision broke the second seal and un-
rolled again, and there was bloodshed, a picture of and a
red horse, and that meant
so it really came to pass, and the next
.
ninety years were red with assassinations
and wars. Then Christ brokethethirdseal
and unrolled It, and there was a pioture of
a black horse, which in all literature means
famine, oppression and taxation; and so it
really came to pass. Christ went on un-
til He broke all the seven seals and j
opened all the scroll. Well, the future of
all of us is a sealed scroll, and I am glad
that no one but Christ can open it. Do not
let us join that class or Christians in our
day, who are trying to break the seven seals
ofthefuture. They are trying to peep into
things they have no business witu.
Do not go to some necromancer orspirlt- i
ualist or soothsayer or fortune teller to
find out what family is going to happen friends. to your- Walt j

till Christ breaks tbe seal to find out
whether In your own personal life or the
jjj e 0 { the nation or tbe life of the world it
is going to be the white horse of prosperity
or the red horse of war or the blaok horse
of famine. You will soon enough see him
paw and hear him neigh. Take care of the
present, and the future will take care of
itself, ,’f a man live seventy years, his
biography is in a scroll having at least
seven seals, and let him not during look the
tlrst ten years of his life try to

the thirties, nor the thirties into the
forties, nor the forties into the fifties, nor
(he fifties into the sixties, nor the sixties

years have got the habit of raolng along, I
eu ess you will not have to wait a great
while before all the seals of the future are
broken. I would not give two cents to

A MISUNDERSTANDING AVERTED.
Why the Civil Engineitr Moved tbs Railroad
a Mile.
The engineer who Inys out a railroad
dislikes to move a stake when it has
once been driven. If he thinks he is
right he will fight or quit, but he hates
to compromise. In ‘ The Story of the
Railroad,” Cy Warnmn cites a charac¬
teristic anecdote.
Once, when the present chief engi-
noer 0 f a Western railroad was loeat-
itig a line in Missouri, lie was asked
to change the stakes, and refused, . ,
After the stakes had been set, a yourg
unshaven auui appeared and asked
that „ the road.be moved ove. a hit. „
"The road cannot be changed,”
promptly returned the engineer; “this
, 8 ,, ta0 h „„ t plate f toi _ it. „
The man went into a house, got a
rifle, came gut, and pulled up the
stakes. The indignant engineer start-
ed toward him, but was intercepted by
au elderly woman,
“Can’t you move your road over a
j little piece, mister?” she asked,
doa - t 8ee why I should,” respond-
( ‘d the engineer, “My business is to
locate the line, and you can call on the
company for damages. What does

grily demanded.

“What way?”
“Well, if you persist ln,driving them
I stakes there, you’ll go home dead.”

“Look here, do you think Dm to be
bluffed by that ruffian?”
“Nip ain’t no ruffian,” said the wo-
j man. “You see, we've always lived

When they had come up to the

Importer* of women's gloves say
that It seems to be a fad to wear no
gloves during the hot weather, brown
hands evidently being considered
quite the thing. The prevalence of
the shirt waist also has had a ten¬
dency to curtail the use of gloves. A
noticeable feature of the present styles
of gloves used with long sleeves Is the
wretched and impracticable mode of
some fasteners now being used to quite
an extent by women who do not pay
niuah attention to small matters. The
other day on a Broadway cable-car
some women were seen wtth gloves
which they were evidently unable to
fasten at the wrists. With some clasp
attachments a wrist must conform to
the glove, hut this is not the case with
gloves having hooks that fit any sizfe
wrist perfectly. Colors remain much
the same as in past seasons, White
glace, with black embroidery, are pop¬
ular both for street and evening wear.

COURTS PROTECT ENTERPRISE.
Important Decision in Regard to Reputa¬
tions Built Up by Advertising.
In the United States Clrouit Court in San
Francisco, Cal., a decision has been given
that is ot great interest to manufacturers
of proprietary articles and to publishers.
The case in question was the suit of the
California Fig Syrup Co. to obtain a per¬
manent injunction, which was granted, en¬
joining a large non-secret manufacturing
concern and others from using the name
"Syrup of F’igs,” or “Fig Syrup,” and and or¬
dering the defendants to pay costs
damages. The decision proves that the
courts will protect the valuable reputa¬
tion of an article of merit, built up by
probity of word as well as by extensive ad¬
vertising, so that the owner may reap the
full benefit. The overwhelming evidence
presented, as to the merits of the company’s de¬
laxative, could not he gainsaid by the
fendants, and the injunction was the result,

What a Little Faith Did
FOR MRS. ROCKWELL.
[LITTER TO Mil. IINIHIM SO. 69,884]
“I was a great sufferer from female
weakness and had no strength. It was
impossible for mo to attend to my
household duties. I had tried every¬
thing and many doctors, but found no
relief.
“My sister advised me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
which I did; before using all of one
bottle I felt better. I kept on with it
and to my great surprise I am cured.
All who suffer from female complaint*
should give it a trial.”—Mss. Rock¬
well, 1209 8 . Division St., Gland
Rapids, Mich.
From a Grateful Newark Woman.
“ When I wrote to you I was very
sick, had not been well for two years.
The doctors did not seem to help me,
and one said I could not live three
months. I had womb trouble, falling,
ulcers, kidney and bladder trouble.
There seemed to be such a drawing
and burning pain in my bowels that I
could not rest anywhere. After using
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound and Sanative Wash and follow¬
ing your advice, I feel well again and
stronger than ever. My bowels feel as if
they had been made over new. With
many thanks for your help, I remain,
