k " A WONDERFUL WOKD. REV. T. DE WITT TALMAGE PREACHES AN ABLE SERMON ON "COME." This Word M.iy Ito I'aed for iood or for Evil It U l ound Slaiiy Time in the Scriptures It ltet-kuna, Otlirr V.'or.U Irive. Ukoouian. Jan. IS. Dr. Ttiluuige preached tin; following senium this morning to an overflowing congregation in the Academy of Music, this city. At sight, when TUo Christian Herald ser vice was held i:i the New York Acade my of Music, fully six thousand persons were massed in the large building. A marked solemnity pervaded the assem bly, and at its close many persons in various parts of the house rose at the invitation of the preacher to ask for prayers for their sidv.it ion. Dr. Tal mage chose the following texts for his sermon "(.'nine" id'en. vi, 18); "Come'' (Rev. x.ii, 17). Imperial, tender and all persuasive is this word "Come." Mix hundred and seventy-eight times is it found in the Scriptures. It stands at the front gate of the llilile as in my first text, invit ing antediluvians into Noah's ark, and it stands at the other gate of the Hible a.i in my second text, inviting the post diluvians into the ark of a Saviour's mercy. "Come" is only a word of four letters, but it is the queen of words, and nearly the entire nation of En glish vocabulary bows to its scepter. It is an ocean into which empties ten thousand rivers of meaning. Other : words drive, but this beckons. All moods of feeling hath that word 1 "Come." Sometimes it weeps and j sometimes it laughs. Sometimes it ; prays, sometimes it tempts and some- 1 times it destroys. It sounds from the door of church and from the seraglios I of sin, from the gates of heaven and the gates of hell. It is confluent and accrescent of all power. It is the heiress j of most of tho past and the almoner of most of the future. "Come!" You j may pronounce it so that all the heavens i will be heard in its cadences, or pro nounce it so that all tho woes of time and eternity shall reverberate in its one ! syllable. It is on the lip of saint and I profligate. It is the mightiest of all ! solicitants either for good or bad. ALL THK I'OWKH OF CHRISTIANITY IS ! IS THAT WOKD. Today I weigh anchor, and haul in tho planks and set sail on that great ; word, although I am sure I will not be able to reach the farther shore. I will let down the fathoming lino into this sea and try to measure its depths, and, though I tie together all the cables and Cordage I have on board, I will not be able to touch bottom. All the power j of the Christian religion is in that word "Come." The dictatorial and coin mandatory in religion is of no avail. The imperative mood is not tho appro- , priate mood when we would have peo- i pie savingly impressed. They may be ; coaxed, but they cannot be driven. ', Our hearts are like our homes; at a friendly knock the door will be opened, but an attempt to force open our door would land the assailant in prison. Our theological seminaries, which keep young men three years in their curric ulum before launching them into tho ministry, will do well if in so short a time they can teach the candidates for the holy ofllce how to say with right emphasis and intonation and ower that one word "Come!" That man who has such efficiency hi Christian work, and that woman who has such power to persuade people to quit tho wrong and begin the right, went through a series of losses, bereave ments, H.rsecutions, and the trials of twenty or thirty years before they could make it a triumph of graeo every time they uttered the word "Come." MAXY SLAIN BY THAT WOK1) COMK. You must remember that in many eases our "come" liis a mightier "come" to conquer before it has any effect at all Just give me the aecu- : rate census, the statistics, of how many are down in fraud, in drunken ness, in gambling, in impurity or in vice of any sort, and I will give you the accurate census or statistics of how many have been slain by the word "come.'' "Come and click wine glass es with me at this ivory bar." "Come and see what we can win at this gam ing table." "Come, enter with me this doubtful speculation!" "Come with ine and read those inlldel tracts on Christianity." "Come with me to a place of bad amusement." "Come with me in u gay bout through under ground New York." If in this city there are twenty thousand who are down in moral character, then twenty tliouiad kl uad;r Aio power of the word "come." I was reading of a wife whose hus band had been overthrown by strong drink, and she went to the saloon whore he was ruined and she mid, "Give me back my husband." And tho bartender, pointing to a maudlin and battered man drowsing in the corner of the bar room said. "There he is. 'Jim, wake up; here's your wife come for you.' " And the woman said: "Do you call that my husband? What have you been doing with him? Is that the manly brow? Is that tho clear eye? Is that the noble heart that I married? What vile drug have you given him that has turned him into a fiend? Take your tiger claws off of him. Uncoil those serpent folds of evil habit that are crushing him. Give me back my husband, the one with whom I stood at the altar ten years ago. Give him back to met" Victim TllK 1U) JSCTMrifXiaiiUK,! was he, as millions of others have been, of tliG word "Come!'' COMK WITH I S. Now we want all the world over to harness this word for good as others have harnessed it for evil, and it will draw the live continents and the seas between them; yea. it will draw the whole earth back to the God from which it has wandered. It is that woo ing and persuasive word that ill lead men to give up their sins. Was skep ticism ever brought into love of the truth by an ebullition of hot words against infidelity? Was ever the blas phemer stopped in his oaths by denun ciation of blasphemy? Was ever a drunkard weaned from his cups by tin temperance lecturer's mimicry of stag geringstep ami hiccough? No. It was, "Come with me to church today and hear our singing;" "('01110 and let me introduce you to a Christian man whom you will be sure to admire;" "Conn: with me into associations that are cheer ful and good and inspiring;" "Conic with me into joy such as you never be fore experienced." With that word which has done sc much for others I approach you today. Are you all right with God? "No," you say, "I think not; I am sometimes alarmed when I think of him; I fear I will not be ready to meet him in the last day; my heart is not right with God." Come, then, and have it made right. Through the Christ who died to save you, come! What is the use in waiting? The longer you wait the fur tlrcr olT you are and the deeper you are down. Strikeout for heaven ! You remember that a few years ago a steam er called the Princess Alice, with a crowd of excursionists aboard, sank ill the Thames, and there was an awful sacrifice of life. A boatman from the shore put out for the rescue, and he had a big boat, and he got it so full it would not hold another person, and as he laid hold of the oars to pull for tho shore, leaving hundreds helpless and drowning, he cried out, "Oh, that I had a bigger boat !" Thank God, I am not thus limited, and that I can promise room for all in this gospel boat, (iet in; get in! And yet there is room. Room in tho heart of a par doning God. Room in heaven. THK STKL'UGI.K OK l.IKK. I also apply tho word of my text to those who would like practical comfort. If any ever escape the strugglo of life, I have not found them. They are not certainly among the prostierous classes. In most cases it was astruggle all the way up till they reached tho prosperity, and since they have reached these heights them have been perplexities, anxieties and crises which were almost enough to shatter the nerves and turn the brain. It would be hard to tell which have the biggest fight in this world the prosperities or tho adversities, tho conspicuities or tho obscurities. Just as soon as you have enough success to attract the attention of others, the en vies and jealousies are let loose from their kennels. Tho greatest crime that you can commit in the estimation of others is to get on better than they do. They think your addition is their sub traction. Five hundred persons start for a certain goal of success; one reaches it, and the other four hundred and ninety-nine are mad. It would take volumes to hold the story of the wrongs, outrages and defamations that have come upon you as a result of your success. Tho warm sun of prosperity brings into life a swamp full of annoy ing insects. On the other hand tho unfortunate classes have their struggles for main tenance. To achieve a livelihood by one who had nothing to start with, and after a while for a family as well, and carry this on until children are reared and educated and fairly started in the world, and to do this amid all the rivalries of business, and the uncer tainty of crops, and the fickleness of tariff legislation, with an occasional labor strike, and here and there a finan cial panic thrown in. is a mighty thin.7 to do, and there are hundreds and thousands of such heroes and heroines who live unsung and die unhonored. What we all need, whether up or down in life or half way between, is the in finite solace of the Christian religion. And so wo employ the word "Come!" It will take nil eternity to find out the number of business men who have been strengthened by the promises of God. and the people who have been fed by th.1 ravens when other re sources ;;ave out. and tho men and women who, going into this battle nnued only with needle or saw or ax or yan'.y.ick or pen or type or shovel or shoelast, Inv? gained a victory that mad the Ir'aveus resound. With all the re"ii"ees of God promised for every oxig.'ti'-y, no one need bj left in the lurch. A M BUMK FAITH. 1 like tho faith displayed years ago in Drury lane, London, in a humble '. homo where every particle of food had i given out, and a kindly soul entered ! with tea and other table supplies, and I found a kettle on the lire ready fix the tea. The benevolent lady said, ''How is it that you have the kettle ready for the tea when you had no tea in the house?" And the daughter in the home said, "Mother would have me put the kettle on tho fire, and when I said, 'What is the use of doing so, when we have nothing in the house?' she said: 'My child, God will provide. Thirty i years he has already provided for me through all my pain and helplessness, j and he will not leave mo to starve at I last. He will send us help though we j do not yet seo how.' We have been ; waiting all the day for something to i come, but until we saw you we know I not how it was to come." Such things A NO K K NEWS, THURSDAY, J ANUAliY the world may call coincidences, but I call them almighty deliverances, and though vim d,i not hear of them, Ctey are occurring every hour of every day anil in all parts of Christendom. lint the word "Come" applied to those who need solace will amount 1o nothing unless it be uttered by some one who has experienced that solace. That spreads the responsibility of giv ing this gospel call among a great many. Those who have lost pn ; Tty and been consoled by religion in that trial are the ones to invite those who have failed in business. Those who have lost their health and been con soled by religion are the ones to invite those who are in poor health. Those who have had bereavements and been consoled in those bereavements are the ones to sympathize with those who have lost father or mother or compan ion or child or friend. What multi tudes of us are alive today, and in good health and buoyant in this journey of life, who would have been broken down or dead long ago but for the sustaining and cheering help of our holy religion! So we say "Come!" The well is not dry. The buckets are not empty. The supply is not exhausted. There is just as much mercy luid condolence and soothing power in God as before the first grave was dug, or the first tear started, or the first heart broken, or the first accident happened, or the first fortune vanished. Those of us who have felt the consolatory power of re ligion have a right to HH'uk out of our own experiences and say "Come!" HOW TO COMK. What dismal work of condolence the world makes when it attempts to con dole! The plaster they spread does not stick. The broken bones under their bandiige do not knit. A farmer was lost in tho snow storm on a prairie of the far west. Night coming on, and after he was almost frantic from not knowing which way to go. his sleigh struck the rut of another sleigh, and he slid, "I will follow this rut, and it will take me out to safety." He hastened on until he heard the bells of the pre ceding horses, but, coining up, he found that that man was also lost, and, as is tho tendency of those who are thus confused in the forest or on the moors, they were both moving in a circle, and the runner of tho one lost sleigh was following the runner of the other lost sleigh round and round. At last it oc curred to them to look at the north star, which was eering through the night, and by the direction of that star they got home again. Those who fol low the advice of this world in time of perplexity are in a fearful round ; for it is one bewildered soul following anoth er bewildered soul, and only those who have in such time got their eye on the morning star of our Christian faith can, find their way out, or be strong enough to lead others with an all persuasive invitation. "Hut," says some one, "you Chris tian people keep telling us to 'come,' yet you do not tell us how to come." That charge shall not be true on this occasion. Come believing 1 Come re penting! Come praying! After all that God has been doing for six thou sand years, some time through patri archs and sometimes through prophets, and at last through the culmination of all tragedies on Golgotha, can any one think that God will not welcome your coming? Will a father at vast out lay construct a mansion for his son, and lay out parks white with statues and green with foliage, and all a sparkle with fountains, and then not allow his son to live in the house or walk in the parks? Has God built this house of gospel mercy, and will he then refuse entrajico to his children? Will a gov ernment nt great expense build life saving stations all along the coast, and boats that can hover unhurt like a petrel over the wildest surge, and then when the lifelxmt has reached tho wreck of a ship in tho oiling not allow the drowning to seize tho lifeline or take the boat for the shore in safety? Shall God provide at the cost of his only son's assassination escape for a sinking world, and then turn a deaf ear to the cry that comes up from the breakers ? THKX YOU IIAVK PASSED FROM DKATH TO LI FK. "Hut," you say, "there are so many things I have to believe, and so many things in the shape of a creed that I have to adopt, that I am kept back." No, 110! You need not believe but two things namely, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and that you are one of them. "Hut," you say, "I do believe both of these things!" Do you really believe them with all your heart? "Yes." Why, then you have passed from death into life. Why, then you are a son or daughter of the Ixird Almighty. Why, then you are an heir or an iiciii of an inheritance that will declare divi dends from now until long after the stars are dead! Hallelujah! Prince of God, why do you not come and take your coronet? Princess of tho Ixird Almighty, why do you not mount your throne? Pass up into the light. Your boat is anchored, why do you not go ashore? Just plant your feet hard down, and you will feel under them the Rock of Ages. I challenge the universe for one in stance in which a man in tho right spirit appealed for the salvation of the gospel and did not get it. Man olive! ore you going to let all the years of your life go away with you without your having this great peace, this glorious hope, this- bright expect ancy? Are you going to let tho pearl of great price lio in the dust at your feet because you are too indolent or too proud to stoop down and pick it up? Will you wear tho chain of evil habit when near by you is the hammer that could with one stroke snap theshackle ? Will you stay in the prison of sin when here is a gosiel key that could unlock your incarceration '. No; 110! A the one word "Come" has sometimes brought many souls to Christ, I will try the experiment of piling up iuto a mountain and then sending down in an avalanche of power many of these gos pel "Conies." 'Come thou and all thy lions1 into the ark;" "( '01110 unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest;" "Come, for all things are now ready;" "The Spirit and the Hride say 'Come;' and let him that heareth say 'Come' and let him that is a thirst come." The stroke of one bell in a tower may be sweet, but a score of bells well tuned, and rightly lifted, and skillfully swung in one great chime till the heavens with music almost celestial. And 110 one who has heard the mighty chimes in the towers of Amsterdam or Ghent or Copenhagen can forget them. Now it seems to me that in this Sabbath hour all heaven is chiming, and the voices of departed frielidsand kindred ring down the sky saying "Come!'' The angels who never fell, bending from sapphire thrones, are chanting "Come!" Yea, all the towers of heaven, tower of mar tyrs, tower of prophets, tower of apos tles, tower of evangelists, tower of the temple of the Lord ( iod and the Iitnl, are chiming "Come, come!'' Pardon for all, and peace for all, and heaven for all who will come. tkack! When Russia was in one of her great wars the suffering of the soldiers had been long and bitter, and they were waiting fur tho end of the strife. One day a messenger in great excitement ran among the tents of the army shout ing "Peace! Peace!" The sentinel on guard asked, "Who says tx'iiee?" And the sick soldier turned on his hos pital mattress and asked, "Who says peace?" and all up and down the en campment of the Russians went the question, "Who says peace?" Then the messenger responded, "The czar says peace." That was enough. That meant going home. That meant the war was over. No more wounds and no more long inarches. So today, as one of the Lord's mes sengers. I move through these great en campments of souls and cry: "Peace between earth and heaven! Peace be tween (rod and man! Peace between your repenting soul and a pardoning Lord!" If you .isk me, "Who says peace?" I answer, "Christ our King declares it." "Sly peace I give unto you!" "Peace of (iod that posset h all understanding!'' Everlasting peace 1 A Mlllt) llond In the Went. A military road was constructed by : the United States government to con-: nect the military posts of tho far west with one another. Regaining at Fort Leavenworth, on the Missouri river, it passed through Fort Riley at tho June- ; tion of the forks of the Kaw, and then, i still keeping up the north side of the i Republican fork, went on to Fort Kearny, still farther west, then to Fort ' Laramie, which in those days was so ; far on the frontier of our country that j few Hoile ever saw it except military ; men and the emigrants to California, 1 At the timeof which I am writing there j had been a very -heavy emigration to i California, and companies of emigrants, ; bound to the golden land, still oeoa- ! sionally passed along the great military j road. Interlacing this highway were innu- ' merable trails and wagon tracks, the traces of the great migration to the El dorado of the Pacific; and here and there were the narrow trails made by Indians on their hunting expeditions and warlike excursions. Roads, such as our emigrants had been accustomed to in Illinois, there were none. First came the faint traces of human feet and of unshod horses and ponies; then the well defined trail of hunters, trap pers and Indians; then tho wagon track of the military trains, which in course of time were smoothed and formed into the military ro.ul kept in repair by the United States govern ment. Noah Hrooks in St. Nicholas. A Propone.! Hallway involution. The ideal construction for a railway absolutely to avoid derailment would seem to bo tubular, with the cars in side; but as tunnels are decidedly un Mipular we must confine our cars by devices placed entirely below the win dows. Fortunately the modern meth ods of bridge truss design lend them selves readily to a trough like construc tion of considerable depth, with under jut sides that will confine tho wheels. or some other projecting part of a car running in the trough, so that it can not escaM' in any direction. This, too, (ui 1 be done without much extra ma terial beyond that required for the depth and consequently strength of the trusses themselves. Such construction is obviously unfitted for crossing any other kind of roadway at grade, and therefore must, in many situations, be elevated upon columns or arches. Oberlin Smith in Forum. Deatrtietive Sea Waves. In 1SG1 a revolving storm passed over Calcutta, tho accompanying wave rose ten feet above the highest spring tides, and drowned 45,000 persons. Coringa was destroyed by a storm wave in 1789, and 20,000 peoplo perished. A great hurricane blew at Raratonga in 184G, anJ a vessel from Tahiti was driven by the storm wave over the palm trees in land. Her captain informed a mission ary that he felt tho tree tops grating against his vessel's bottom as she sped along with the wave. Chambers' Journal. 2J, ISM. ODDS AND ENDS.

Probably very few people know that Congressman-elect Sherman Hoar was flu1 modi 1 for the statue of John Har vard which stands in the delta at Cam bridge, Mass., near Harvard college. William Morris, the English poet and socialist, is so busy in other pursuits that he writes the poetry, which has given him most fame, only on Satur days and Sundays. Slipiors and stockings match the color of the evening dress. White un dressed kid gloves are worn with any evening gown. Small flowers, daisies, or a fringe of rose petals, with bows and bands of ribbon, trim the dresses of very young Indie. In a New Haven primary school tho music teacher explained what was meant by "the space below." Then, pointing to tho space above the staff, he asked what that was called, and a little girl answered promptly, "The space behigh." In changing feathers always put them into new ticks, as the feathers will surely prick through washed ticks. Our grandmothers rubbed the inside of the ticks with hard soap to prevent this. Old ticking can always be put to good use. A newspaper at Newcastle, England, commemorated its centenary by repub lishing its first issue. During the day a country couple called at the office to answer tin advertisement for help on a farm. They were informed they were 100 vears late. Tho lleul Color of Metal. We do not always see objects pre cisely in their natural colors; the white light which falls upon them is com posed of the seven tints of the solar spectrum (or rainbow), and when a body reflects yellow light, for instance, it absorbs all tho other colors, but this absorption is never complete in a first reflection, so that the light relleeted from a metallic surface is mixed to a certain extent with undeeomposed white light. In order to see the pre cise color of a metal, the light of the sun must be reflected from it to a sec ond surface of the same metal, and from this second piece to a third and so on, until we obtain a tint which does not change by further reflections. In this experiment the uiideeoiiiiosed white light is all absorbed, and the true color of the metal is seen. In this manner gold is seen to be of a brilliant orange color; copper, nearly carmine red; tin, pale yellow; silver, white; lead, blue, etc. Chambers' Journal. The Woril Puzzled Him. There are some good Scotch anec dotes which will bear telling. One is that of a careful mother who had a smattering of higher talk gained from association with "the quality." "Ye maun gang to the minister and tell him to come baptize the bairn, but mind, John, that ye dinna say bairn say infant." Her better half pondered the word, and when he had committed it to memory ho had reached tho minister's house. As soon as lie saw tho reverend parson he liogan his message. "Maggio says ye air to come over and baptize the" "Is it the bairn ye mean, John?" "Ma, na, it's non that at a'," said John in deep distress, "it's the the it's the elephant, sir!"
