I’ictnre of the Farmers « f C7 :Ut’i* Timo lie Likens the Christiun K. Ggioti to the Struggle of the Tiller of the Soil. Lebanon. Pa., Aug. 17.—The Amer- I ican Fanners’ encampment at Mount Gretna, near this city, today listened attentively to a rcm.-nkable discourse by the great Brooklyn preacher. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, who arrived her? yesterday from Piedmont, Chautauqua. Ga.. wliere he spok<‘ on Wednesrlay ’ last. The subject was one peculiarly uited to the vast audience, being on ‘Farming a Gospel Type." I Kings fix. If): Elisha, the s'.n of Shaphat, whd was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Representatives of the great farmers’ axsociations from all parts of the conn try are at the encampment, prepa.a tions for which have been going on for months in advance. The surrounding I-. nsely populated counties oi I‘enn yl "gain are also fully rcprescnteil. To day’s service , wen* held in the open air. An immense ehoirfrom the churches of Lebanon led tile music. Rev. Dr. Talmage spoke as follows: Farmers of America! Accept my 'alutation. Our text puts u . down into tiie plow's furrow, wliere many of us have been 1 efore. My boyh. >d pa.-sed m a fc.rm. and my father a .ariiier. your style of life is familiar to m.\ One of my earliest recollections is that of my father coming in from the hot harvest field exhausted, the perspira tion streaming from li! Io: !ic i l and chin, and fainting on the doorsill, and my mofficr resilseitatin.g him, until seeing the alarm of the household he said: ’ D.iii't be frightened. I got a little tired, ;m l flit l sun was hot. but I am ail right n >w.” And I remember mother seated at the table often say ing. ‘'Well, I am too tired to eat!" I The fact is that I do not think the old I folks got thoroughly rested until they I lay down in the graveyard back of I Somerville to take the last sleep. THE I’A’i’-ilalS' TISIALS.

This was tiie rule in r. paid to the culture of tiie ground: “Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together,” illustrating the folly of ever putting intelligent and useful and pliable men in association with the stubborn and tiie unmanageable. The vast majority of troubles in the churches and in re formatory institutions conies from the disregard of.this command of the Lord: "Thou shalt not plow with mi ox and an ass together.” There were large amounts of proper ty invested in cattle. The Moabites paid 100,000 sheep as an annual tax. Job had 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen. Tiie time of vintage was ushered in with mirth and musie. The clusters of the vine war? put into the winepress, and then five men would get into»the press and trample out. tiie juice from the grape until their gar ments were saturated with the wine and had become the emblems of slaughter. Christ Uimself, wounded until covered with the blood of tiie crucifixion, made use of this allusion when the question was asked, “Where fore art thou red in thine apparel and thy garments like one who treadeth the wine vat?” He responded, “I have trodden tie? wine press alone.'' PISCII’LES OF THE i’i.OW. In all ages there has been great honor paid to agriculture. Seven-eighths of the people in every country are dis ciples of the plow. A government is strong in proportion as it is supported by an athletic and industrious yeo manry. So long ago as before the fall of Cartilage Strabo wrote twen'y eight books on agriculture. Hesiod wrote a poem .on the same subject "The Weeks and Days.” ('ato was prouder of his work on husbandry than of his military conquests. But I must not be tempted into a discussion of agricult ural conquests. Standing amid the harvests and orchards and vifieyardsof the Bible, and standing amid the liar vests and orchards and vineyards of our own country—l want to run out tiie analogy between tiie production of crops and the growth of grace in tiie soul— all these sacred writers making us? of tiiat analogy. In tiie first place I remark, in ?: .■ • ■ as in the fields there must lea plow That which theologians call eonvi.-ti'.n is only the plowshare turning up the <ins tiiat have been rooted and matted n the soul. A farmer said to his indo lent sun. “There are a hundred dollars buried ileepin I,hat Held.” The sou went to work an 1 plowed the field from l?:iee to fence, and he plowed it very deep, iml til ■:> complained tiiat he had not I lonnd th? money; but wheti the crop I had be in g ithon I an 1 solj for a hun- I Irefl dollai's more than any previous I year then the young man took the hint as to what his lather meant when he said there were a hundred dollars buried down in tiiat field. Deep plow ing for a crop. Deep plowing for a 'Old. He who makes light of sin will never amount to anything in the ehurch or in the world. If a man speaks of sin as though it were an inaccuracy or a mistake, instead of the loathe <onie, abominable, consuming and damning thing that'God hates, that man will never yield a harvest of use fulness. When I was a boy 1 plowed a field with a teaiiMif spirited horsi s. I plowed it very quickly. Once in a while I passed over some of the sod without turning it, but I did not jerk back the plow with its rattling clevises. I thought it made no difference. After a while my father came along and said: “Why, tliis will never do. This isn't plowed deep enough. There yon have missed this and you have missed that.” And he plowed it over again. The difficulty with a great many people is I that they are only scratched with con- I viction when the subsoil plow of God’s | truth ought to be put in up to the beam. My word is to all Sabbath school teachers, to all parents, to all Chris tian workers: Plow deep! Plow deep! THE FATAL DKUG OF SIN. And if in your own personal expori cnee you are apt to take a lenient vi-w of tiie sinful side of your nature put down into your soul the ten comnrind ment.s. which reveal the holme.-s of God, and that sharp and glittering coulter will turn up your soul to the deepest depths. If a man preach ,to I you that you are only a little out of order by reason of sin, and th.it you need only a little fixing up, he deceives! I You have suffered an appalling injury by reason of sin. There are quick poi sons and slow poisons, but the druggist could give you one drGp that v.oul 1 kill the body. And sin is like that drug: so virulent, so poisonous, so fatal that one drop is enough to kill the soul. Jjleep plowing fora crop. Deep plow ing for a soul. Broken heart or no re ligion. Broken soul or no harvest. Why was it tiiat David, and the jailer, and the publicah and Paul made such •do about their sins? Had they lost their senses? No. The plowshare struck tliein. Conviction turned up a great many things that were forgotten. As a farmer plowing sometimes turns up the skeleton of a man or the anat miiy of a monster long ago buried, so tjie plowshare of conviction turns up the ghastly skeletons of sin long ago iii touibe.l. Geologists never brbugbt up from t lie depth . <>f I h i mountain migli’t ler ichthyosaurus or iiiegathcriuni. But wb. I means all this crooked plowin ', these crooked furrows, the re |K>i>tm>ce that nmoiiiit to nothin,', tlui nqs iitauce tiiat ends in nothing? -Meis groan over th< ir sins, hut get no bettor. T< v.ep but liieir tears nr- not < • 'I R-y 'I <’ouvi> i I, but not coin <l. What in tile re: oil I Ire men, 1 • r toil on tla* farm we set a stiindard V 'li fi n d flag at Hie otluu end of Ila- I’.efij, We kept our eye on th '< ■ . ie<| at tlnii. We ptoWi <| upto i:.t Dating night of that we piudc li I l’S<k"l furrow. Kcepiie’ <si| eyes on that We macle a straigntTur i- row. Now in this mutter of conviction wo must have some standard to guide i us. It is a red standard that God has , set nt the other end of the field. It is t the cross. Keeping your eye on that yon will mate a. straight furrow. Los > j ing '■gilt es it you will make a crooked t i furrow. Plow up to the cross. Aim ’ not at either end of the horizontal , piece of the cross, but at the upright , piece, at the eenter of it, the heart of | the Son of God, who bore your sins , nnd made satisfaction. Crying and weeping will not bring you through. , “Him hath God exalted to lie a Prince ■ and a Saviour to give repentance.” Oh, I plow up to the cross! j SCATTERING THE SEEDS OF THE GOS . | PEL. Again 1 remark, in grace as in the field there must be a sowing. In the i autumnal weather you find the farmer i going across the field at a stride oi about twenty-three inches, and at every . stride.he puts his hand into the sack of grain and ho sprinkles the seed corn over the field. It looks silly to a man whodo snot know what he is doing. Ho is doing a very important work. He is scattering the winter grain, and though the snow may come the next , year there will be a great crop.- Now, that is what wo are doing when wo are [ireaehing the gospel—we are soatter ing the seed. It i . the fooli hness of . I preaching, but it is the winter grain; and though the snow of worldlines.* may come down upon it. it will yield after awhile glorious harvest. Let us bo sure we sow the right kind of seed. Sow million 'talk and million stalk will | come up. Sow Canada thistles and I Canada thistles will come up. Sow i wheat and wbcot will come iq>. Lot us distinguish between truth and error. I Lot us know tiie dilTerenee between ; whi’at and hellebore, oats and henbane. The largest’ denomination in this , country is the denomination of Noth . ingarians. Their r< iigii.n isa system of negations. Yon s:y tonne of them, “What do you l-.eli; vc?” “Well. I dm't believe in infant baptism.” “Who' do . you believe.” “AVell, I don't, believe ■ in the perseverance of the saints." “Well, now tell me what you do be lieve!" “Well, I don’t believe in-the eternal punishment of the wicked.” S > their religion is a row of cyphers. I : elieve something and teach it; or, to r. mu? the figure of my text, scatter abroad the right kind of seed. A minister in New York preached a m nnon calculated to set the denomina tionsof i'hristians quarreling. He was sowing nettles. A minister in Boston advertised that he would preach a ser mon on the superiority of transcenden , tai and organized forces to i: ranscen dental mi l unorganized fore. AVhat was he sowing? The Lord J< ? Christ nineteen centuries ago planted the di vine seed of doctrine, it sprang up. (hi one side of the stalk are all th? churches of Christendom. On the oilier side of the stalk are all the free governments of th<> earth, and on the top there shall be a flowering milleniuni aft r awhile. All from the gospel seed of doctrine. Every word that a parent, or Sabbath school teacher, or city mis s:s>n try or other Christian worker : for Christ comes up. Yea, it ■ e..’ines up with compound Interest y ii having one soul, that one saving ten, the ten a hundred, the hundred a thousand, the thousand ten thousand, the ten thousand one hundred thou sand —on. on forever. A HARROWING AND REAPING. Again I remark, in grace as in the I farm there must be a harrowing. 1 re fer not to a harrow that goes over the field in order to prepare tha ground for the seed, but. a harrow which goes over after the seed is sown, lest the birds pick up the seed, sinking it down into the earth so that it can take root. There are new kinds of harrow, but the harrow us I remember it was made of bars of wood nailed across each other, and the under side of each bar was furnished with sharp teeth, and when the horses were hitched to it it went tearing and leaping across the field, driving the seed down into the earth until it sprung up in the harvest. Be reavement, sorrow, persecution are the Lord's liarrows to sink the gospel truth into your heart. There were truths that y< >ll heard i hirty years ago that have not affected you until recently. Some great trouble came over you, and the truth was harrowed in, and it has come up. What di'l God mean in this coun try i 1557? For a century there was th ; I preached, but a great deal of . i : .dueed no result. Then God harm s-ed a wild panic to a harrow of commercial disaster, and that harrow went down Wall street and up Wall street, down Third street and up Third street, down rita/e street and up State street, until the whole land was torn to pieces a- it had never been before. What followed the hargow/ A great awa' ning in which there were 500,1X10 soul brought into the kingdom of our Lord. No barrow, no crop. A- lin 1 remark, in grace as in the farm there must be u reaping. Many Christians speak of religion as though it were a matter of economics or insur ance. They expect to reap in tiie next world. Oh, no! Now is tiie time to reap. < l.itiier up the joy of the Chris tian religion tliis morning, tills after noon, this night. If you have not as much grace as you would like to have, th ’.k<’"d for what you have and pray for more. You are no worse enslaved th a .1 ;.’i. no worse troubled than was David, no worse scourged than was Paul. Yet amid the rattling of set , tern, and amid the gloom of dun gi . , and amid the horror of ship wr< -k they triumphed in the grace of God. The weakest man here has soi acres of spiritual joy all rij> M b;, do you not go nnd reap It? You luive been groaning over your in lii ' for thirty years. Now give <>i round shout over Jtour eituuioip»' g \o;i my you bare it so hard; •ht have it worse.

I tell ) you bluntly that is death. Just as a I farmer beats the wheat out of the t straw so deatli beats the soirl out of f tlio body. Every sickness is a stroke g if the flail .and the sickbed is the ] threshing floor. What, say you, is death to a good man only t-iking the wheat e out of the straw ? That is all. An aged , man has fallen asleep. Only yaTerday you saw him in the sunny porch play ing with his grandchildren. Calmly he ■ received the message to leaye this ( world. He hade a pleasant good-by to ... I his oM friends. The telegraph carries i the tidings, and on swift rail trains the 1 kindred come, wanting once more to y look on the face of dsa.r old grand ( father. Brush back the gray hairs i from his brow; it will never ache again. ) Put him away in the slumber of the .. tomb. He will i t be afraid of that i night. Graihllather was never afraid ] of anything. He will rise in the morn t ing of tli<‘ resurrection. Grandfather t was always the first to rise. His voice has already mingled in the doxology of . heaven. Grandfather always did sing f in church. Anything ghastly in that? ; No. The threshing of Hie wheat out . of the straw. That is all. ] The Saviour folds a lamb in his . bosom. The little child tilled all the house with her music, and her toys are ) scattered all up and down the stairs | just as she left them. What if the band that plucked four-o’clocks out of the meadow is still? It will wave the eter nal triumph. AVbat if the voice that i made music in the home is still ? It will sing the eternal hosamia. Put a white ’ r< so in one band, and a red rose in the other hand, and a wreath of orange > bio. soms < n the brow—the whiteflower for the victory, the red flower for the Saviour's sacrifice, the craiige blossoms > f< r her marriage day. Anything ghast- . l.v about that! Oh,-no. The sun went down and the flower shut. The wheat threshed out of the straw. “Dear Lord. . give me sleep,” said a dying boy, the ■ son of one of my elders; “Dear Lord, give me sleep.” And lie closed his eyes , and awoke in glory. Henry W. Long r fellow, writing a letter of condolence to those parents, said: “Those last , words were beautifully poetie, ‘Dear . j Lord, give mo sleep.’ ” , ’Twas not in cruelty, not in wrath That the reaper came that day; 1 ’Twas on angel tiiat visited tile earth - | And took the flower away. So it may be with us when our work is all done. “Dear Lord, give me sleep.” I have one more thought to present. 1 have spoken of the plowing, of the ; sowing, of the harrowing, of the I i: ’. "! 1?

O my friends, our getting into- heaven may be a pull, a hard pull, a very hard pull, but these sheaves are bound to go in. The Lord of the harvest has prom ised it. I see the load nt last com ing in the door of the heavenly gamer. The sheaves of the Christian soul sway to and fro in the wind of death, and the old body creaks under the load, and as the load strikes the floor of tho celestial garner it seems as if it can go no farther. It is the last struggle until the voices of angels and the voices of our departeil kindred and the welcom ing voice of God shall send the harvest rolling into tiie eternal triumph, wliile nil up and down the sky the cry is heard: “Harvest home! llarx'est home!” A Cultivated Ear.
