l!lion;;!,v, May .'.l.Tlv striking
sermon Dr. Tahuugc delivered this
morning to an amlii'iiot' which tilled
tin; now Tabernacle in every 'part, dealt
with a topic of interest to all who have
watched t lie discussions now agitating
tho churches. Wherever the question
of the inspiration of the liible is raised
the trustworthiness of the Mosaic nar
rative of the creation is always the
point chiclly assailed. The fact that
so prominent and eloquent a preacher
as Dr. Talmago places himself clearly
n:i record on the side of ortlvdovy will
v'.hiI tie-shave a marked influence on
pnl. lie opinion. 1 lis tet was ; : h i-; i,

were the sixth day."
From Monday morning to Saturday
night give us n week's work. If we;
liave tilled that week with successes .
wo are happy. Hut I am going to tell
you whattiod did in one week. Cos
mogony, geology, astronomy, ornith- 1
oKtjry. ichthyology, botany, anatomy
are such vast subjects that no human
life is long enough to explore or com- i
prehend any one of them, lint I have
thought I might in an unusual way tell
you a little of what (iod did in one
week, and that the first week. And
whether you make it a week of days or
a week of ages I care not, for I shall
reach the same practical result of rev
eronoe and worship.
T1IK l'THST HAY'S WOKK.
The first Monday morning found 1
swinging in space the piled up lumber
of rocks and metal and soil ami water
from which the earth was to be huilded.
(iod made up his mind to create a hu
man family, ami they must liuvea house
to live in. Hut where? Not a roof, not 1
a wall, not a door, not a room was fit
for human occupancy. There is not a
pile of black basalt in Yellowstone park '
oriin extinct volcano in Honolulu so
inappropriate for human residence as
was this globe at that early period.
Moreover, there was no human archi
tect to draw a plan, no quarryman to ;
blast the foundation stones, no carpen
ter to hew out a beam, and no inxson i
to trowel a wall. Poor prospect 1 Hut j
the time wxs coming when a being i
called man was to lie constructed, and
lie was to have a bride; and where ;
. he could find a homestead to which he J
could take her must have been a won-
dennent to angelic intelligences. There i
had been earthquakes enough, and vol
canoes enough, and glaciers enough. ;
but earthquakes and volcanoes and
glaciers destroy instead of build. A
worse looking world than this never
swim;.'. It was heaped up deformities,
scarifications and monstrosities. The
IVible says it was without form. That
is, it was not round, it was not square,
it was not octagonal, it wa.s not a
rhomboid.
(iod never did take any one in his
counsels, but if he had asked some
angel about the attempt to turn this
planet into a place for human resi
dence the angel would have said. "Xo,
no; try some other world ; the crevices
of this earth are too deep; its crags are
too appalling; its darkness is too
thick." But Monday morning came.
I think it was a spring morning, and
about half past four o'clock. The
first thing needed was light. U was
not needed for God to work by. for he I
can work as well in the darkness. Hut j
light may be necessary, for angelic in- j
telligences are to see in its full glory ;
the process of world building. Hut
where are the candles, where are the
candelabra, where is the chandelier?
Ifo rising sun will roll in the morning,
for if the sun is already created its
light will not yet reach the earth in
three days. Xo moon nor stare can
brighten this darkness. The moon
and stars are not bom yet, or, if
created, their light will not reach the
earth for some time yet. Hut there
is need of immediate light. Where
Uiall it come from? Desiring to ac
count for things in a natural way. you
say, and reasonably say, that heat and
electricity throw out light independent
of the sun, and that the metallic bases
throw out light independent of the sun,
and that alkalies throw out light inde
pendent of the sun. Oil, yes: all that
is true, but 1 do not think that is the
way light was created.
The record makes nn think that,
standing over thi earth that spring
morning, (iod looked upon the dark
Iiess that palled the heights of this
world, and the ch.i-uis of ir. and the
aw fid readies of it. an I uttered, whether
in the Hebrew of earth or some language
celestial I know not, that word which
stands for t ie subtle, bright, glowing
and all pervading lluid; that word
which thrills and garlands and lifts
everything it louche;; that word the
full meaning of which all tho chemists
. of the ages have buried themselves in
exploring; that word which suggests a
force that Hies one hundred and ninety
thousand miles in a second, and by un
dulations seven hundred and twenty
eeven trillions in a second, that one
word God utters Light 1
And instantly the darkness began to
ohiuimer, and tho thick folds of black-
sicss to lift, and there were scintillations j
and coruscations and Hashes and a bil
lowing up of resplendence, and in great
sheets it spread out northward, south
ward, eastward, westward, nnd a radi
ance filled the atmosphere until it could
hold no more of the brilliance. Light
now to work by while supernatural in
telligences look on. Light, the lirst
chapter of the first day of tho week.
Light, the joy of all the centuries.
Light, the greatest blessing that ever
touched the human eye. The robo of
the Almighty is wove,i out of it, for he
covers himself with light as with a gar
ment. Oh, blessed light 1
1 am so glad this was the first thing
created that week,
every wee!; with
Good thing to start !
is li-ht That will
make our work easier. That will keep
our disposition more radiant. That
will hinder even our losses from becom
ing to,.,) somber. Give us more light,
natural light, intellectual light, spirit
ual li.'lit, everlasting light. For lack
of it the body stumbles, and the soul
stumbles Oil. thou Father of Lights,
give us livht !
The great Gorman philosopher in his
last moment said. "I want more light."
A minister of Christ recentlv dying
cried out in euiltation, "1 move into
the light'" Mr. Toplady, the immortal
h'T.iMo'ogNt, ill his .'piring moments
exclaim.'.!. "Light' Light!" Heaven
il-ei! is only m .re li;!it. I'pon all
superstition, upon all ignorance, upon
all sorrow let in the light. Hut now
the light of the lirst Monday is reced
ing. The blaze is going out. The col
ors are dimming. Only part of the
earth's surface is tisible. It is (i o'clock,
7 o'clock. S o'clock; obscuration and
dark-ioss. It is Monday night. "And
tile evening and the morning were the
first day."
TllK IWUTIMi OK Tllli WATKltS.
Now it is Tuesday morning. A del
icate and tremendous undertaking is
set apart for this day. There was a
great superabundance of water. God
by the wave of his hand this morning
gathers part of it in suspended reser
voirs, and part of it he orders down into
the rivers and lakes and soils. How to
hang whole Atlantic oceans in the clouds
without their spilling over, except In
right quantities and at right times, was
an undertaking that no one but Omnip
otence would have dared. Hut God
does it as easily as you would lift a
glass of water. There he hoists two
clouds each thirty miles wide and live
miles high and balances them. Here
he lifts the cirrous clouds and spreads
them out in great white banks as
though it had been sno;ing in heaven.
And the cirrous stratus clouds in long
parallel lines so straight you know an
inlmite geometer has drawn them.
Clouds which are the armory from
! which thunderstorms get their bayo-
nets of fire. Clouds which are oceans
: on the wing. Xo wonder, long after
this lirst Tuesday of creation week, Hli
' hu confounded Job with the question,
j "Dost thou know the balancings of the
' clouds?"
i Half of this Tuesday work done, the
other half is the work of compelling
; the waters to lie down in their destined
places. So God picks up the solid
ground and packs it up into live eleva
tions, which are the- continents. With
his linger hi' makes deep depressions in
them, and these are the lakes, while at
the piling up of the Alloghanies and
Sierra Nevada and Pyrenees and Alps
and Himalayas the rest of the waters
start by the law of gravitation to the
lower places, and in their run down
hill become the rivers, and then nil
around the earth these rivers come into
convention and become oceans beneath,
as the clouds are oceans above. How
soon the rivers got to their places when
God said, "Hudson and James and
Amazon down to tho Atlantic, Oregon
.and Sacramento down to the Pacific."
Three-quarters of the eartli being water
! and only one-quarter being land, noth
ing but Almightincss could have caged
! th;? three fourths so that they could not
; have devoured the one fourth. Thank
God for water and plenty of it. What
! a hint that God would have the human
race very clean I Throe-fourths of the
world water. Pour it through tho
homes and make them pure. Pour it
through the prisons and make their
occupants moral. Four it through the
streets and make them healthy. There
are several thousand people asleep in
Greenwood who but f,:r the lilthv
streets of Hrooklyu and New York
would have been today well and in
churches. Moreover, there never was
a filthy street that remained a moral
street.
How important an agency of reform
water is, was illustrated by the fact
that when the ancient world got out
rageously wicked it was plunged into
the Deluge and kept under for mouths
tiil its iniquity w:is soaked out of it.
Hut I rejoice that on the lirst Tuesday
of the worl I s existence the water was
taught to know its place, and the
Mediterranean lay down at the feet of
Europe, and the Gulf of Mexico lay
down at the feet of Xortii America,
and Geneva lay down at the feet of
the Alps, and Soroon lake fell 1 s!"op
in the lap of the Adh'omlacks. "And
tlio evening and the morning were tho
second day."
GltKK.N THING'S HKOIN' TO (illOW.
Now it is Wednesday morning of the
world's lirst week. Gardening :'.nd hor
ticulture wi!l be bora today. How
queer the hills look, anil so unattract
ive they seem hardly worth having
been made. But now all the surfaces
are changing color. Something beauti
ful is creeping all over them. It has
the color of emerald. Aye, it is herb
age. Hail to the green gras; God's
favorite color and God's favorite plant,
as I judge from the fact that he makes
i a larger number of them than of any
thing else. But look yonder 1 Some
thing starts out of the ground and goes
higher up, higher and higher, and
spreads out broad leaves. It is a palm
tree. Yonder is another growth, and
its leaves hang far down, and it is n
willow tree. And yonder Is a growth
with mighty sweep of branches. And
here they come the pear, and the ap
ple, and the peach, and the pomegran
ate, and groves and orchards and for
ests, their shadows and their fruit gird
ling the earth.
We are pushing agriculture and fruit
culture to great excellence in the Nine
teenth century, but we have nothing
now to equal what 1 see on this lirst
vveunes.iay oi tne worms
1 take a taste of one of the
existence,
ipples this
Wednesday morning, and I tell you it
mingles in its juices all the flavors of
Spitsbergen and Newtown pippin and
Uhode Island greening and Dan vers
winter sweet and Roxbury russet and
Hubbardston nonesuch, but added to
nil and overpowering all other llavors
is the paradisaical juice that all the or
chards of the Nineteenth century fail to
reach.
1 take a taste of the pear, and it has
all the luxury of the ttiree thousand
varieties of the Nineteenth cwitury;
all the Seekel and the Bartlett of tho
pomol
acidin
il gardens of later lines an
nttaivd with it. And the
grapes! Why. this one cluster ii.usin
it the richness of whole vineyards of
Catawba and Concords and Isabellas.
Fruits of all colors, of all odors, of all
llavors. Xo hand of man yet made to
pluck it or tongue to taste it. The
banquet for the human race is being
spread before the arrival of the lirst
guest. In the fruit of that garden was
the seed for the orchards and gardens
of the hemispheres. Notice that the
lirst tiling that God made for food
was fruit, and plenty of it. Slaughter
houses are of later invention. Far am
1 from being a vegetarian, but an al
most exclusive meat diet is depraving.
Savages coiillue themselves almost ex
clusively to animal food, and that is
one reason that they are savages.
Give your children more apples and
less mutton. The world will have to
give dominance to the fruit diet of Par
adise before it gets back to the morals
of Paradise. May ( iod's blessing come
down on the orchards ami vineyards of
America, and keep back the frosts and
the eiireulio. Hut we must not forget
that it is Wednesday evening in Eden,
and upon that perfect fruit of those
perfect trees let the curtain drop.
"And the evening and the morning
were the third day."
TllK SI N AM) MOON AI'l'KAU.
Now it is Thursday morning of tho
world's lirst week. Nothing will be
created today. The hours will be
passed ill scattering fogs and mists and
vapors. The atmosphere must bo swept
clean. Other worlds are to hove in
sight. 1 Ins little ship of the earth has
seemed to have all the ocean of im
mensity to itself. But might ier craft
are to be hailed today on the high seas
of space. First the moon's white sail
appears and does very weir until the
sun hursts upon the scene. The light
that on the previous three mornings
was struck from an especial word now
gathers in the sun. moon and stars.
One for the day, the others for tho
night. It seemed as if they had all
within twenty-four hours been created.
Ah, this is a great time in the world's
lirst week. The moon, the nearest
neighbor to our eartli, appears, her
photograph to be taken in tho Nine
teenth century, when the telescope
shall bring her within one hundred and
twenty miles of New York.
And the sun now appears, afterward
to bo found eight hundred and eighty
eight thousand miles in diameter, and,
put in astronomical scales, to be found
to weigh nearly four hundred thousand
times heavier than our eartli , a mighty
furnace, its heat kept up by meteors
pouring into it as fuel, a world devour
ing other worlds with its jaws of flame.
And the stars come out, those street
lamps of heaven, those keys of pearl,
upon which ( fod's fingers play the music
of the spheres. How bright they look
in this oriental evening! Constella
tions! Galaxies! What a twenty-four
hours of this lirst week solar, lunar,
stellar appearances. All this Thursday
and the adjoining nights employed in
pulling aside the curtain of vapor from
these Hushed or pale faced worlds.
Enough! "And tho evening and tho
inoruiiig were the fourth day."
KI.YI.NIi AND SWIMM1N0 CKK ATl'URS.
Now it is Friday morning in the lirst
week of the world's existence. Water,
but not a tin swimming it; air, but not
a wing Hying it. It is a silent world.
Can it be that it was made only for
vegetables f But hark! There is a
swirl and a splashing in all the four
rivers of Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and
Euphrates. They are all aswim with
life, some darting like arrows through
split crystal, and others quiet in dark
pools like shadows. Everything from
spotted trout to behemoth; nil colored,
all shaped, the ancestors of finny tribes
that shall by their wonder of construc
tion confound the Agassizes, the ( 'uviera
and the L'mnirtises and tho ichthyolo
gists of the more than six thousand
years following this Friday the fii-xt
week And while I stand on the banks
of these paradisaical rivers watching
these film; tribes I hear a whirr in tho
air. and I look up and behold w ings
wings of larks, robins, doves, eagles,
flamingoes, albatrosses, brown thresh
ers, i S utures of ail color bluo as if
dipped .a tho skies, fiery as if they had
flown out of the sunsets, golden as if
they had taken their morning bath in
buttercups. And while I am studying
the colors they begin to carol and chirp
mid coo and twitter and run up and
down tho scales of a music that they
must have hoard at heaven's gate.
Yes. I find them in Paradiso on this
the first Friday afternoon of the world's
existence. And I sit down on tho bank
of the Euphrates, and the murmur of
the river, together with tho chant of
birds in the sky, puts me into a state
of somnolence. "And the evenin
rand
the morning were the fifth day.'' (
TI1K LAST DAY'S WOKK.
Now it is Saturday morning of tho
world's first week, ai,d with this day i
the week closes. But oh, what a cli- j
lnaotorio day! The air has its popula- j
tion and the water its population. Yet
the land has not one inhabitant. But i
here they come, by "( lie voice of (iod
created! Horses grander than those:
which in after time Job will describe as
having neck clothed with thunder.
Cattleenough to cover a thousand hills.
Sheep shepherded by him who made
for them the green pastures. Catile
superior to the Alderneys and Ayrshiivs
and Devonshire's of after times. Leo;)-;
ards so lieaiitiful we are glad they can- ,
not change their spots. Lions without 1
their liereenoss, and all the quadruped j
world so gentle, so sleek, so perfect.
Look out how you treat this animal j
creation, whether they walk the earth ,
or swim the waters or fly the air. Do'
you not notice that God gave them;
precedence of the human race? They!
were created Friday and Saturday !
morning, as man wa- created Saturday
afternoon. They have a right to be
tiere. He who galls a horse, or exposes
a cow to the storm, or boats a dog, or
mauls a cat, or gambles at tho pigeon
shooting, or tortures an insect will have
to answer for it in the judgment day. '
You may console yourself that these
creatures are not immortal and they
cannot appear against you, but the
(iod who made these creatures anil
who saw the wrong you did them will
be there.
Better look out, you stock raisers and
railroad companies who bring the cat
tle on trains without, food or water for
three or four days in hot weather, a
long groan of agony from Omaha to
New York. Better look out, you farm
er riding behind that limping horse
with a nail that the blacksmith drove
into the quick. Better look out, you
boys stoning bullfrogs and turning tur
tles upside down and robbing birds'
nests. But something is wanting in
Paradise, and the week is almost done.
Who is there to pluck the flowers of
this F.denic lawn? Who is there to
command these worlds of quadruped
and lish and bird.' For whom has (iod
put bad; the curtain from the face of
sun and moon and star? The world
wants an emperor and empress. It is
Saturday afternoon. No one but the
Lord Almighty can originate a human i
being. In the world wdiere there are i
in the latter part of the Nineteenth
elitlirv iiei'P fmipteeii linn, !p. .1 tttilll,,,, t
people, a human being is not a curios
ity. But how about the first human eye
that was ever kindled, tho first human
ear that was ever opened, the lirst
human lung that ever breathed, the
lirst human heart that ever beat, the
lirst human life ever constructed?
That needed tho origination of a (iod.
lie had no model to work by. What
stupendous work for a Saturday after
noon! He must originate a style of
human heart through xvhich all the
blood in the body must pass every
three minutes. He must make that
heart so strong that it can during each
day lift what would be equal to one
hundred and twenty tons of weight,
and it must be so arranged as to beat
over thirty-six million times every year.
About live hundred muscles must be
strung in tho rigiit place, and at least
two hundred and fifty bones con
structed. Into this body must be nut
id least nine million nerves. Over j
three thousand perspiring pores must ;
be made for every inch of fleshly sur- i
face. ' I
The human voice must be so con
structed it shall be capable of produc
ing seventeen trillion live hundred and
ninety-two billion ono hundred and
eighty six million forty-four thousand
four hundred and fifteen sounds. But
all this the most insignificant part of
the human being. The soul! Ah, the
construction of that (iod himself would
not be equal to if ho were any the less
of a (iod. Its understanding, its will,
its memory, its conscience, its capaci
ties of enjoyment or suffering, its im
mortality ! What a work for a Satur
day afternoon! Aye! Before night
there were to be two such human and
yet immortal beings constructed. The
woman as well as the man was formed
Saturday afternoon. Because a deep
sleep fell upon Adam, and by divine
surgery a portion of his side was re
moved for the nucleus of another cre
ation, it has been supposed that per
haps days and nights passed between
tho masculine and feminine creations.
But no! Adam was not three hours
miniated.
If a physician can by ntuosthoties put
mie into a deep sleep in three minutes,
(iod certainly could have put Adam
into a profound sleep in a short, w hile
that Sat ur lay afternoon, and made tho
deep and radical excision without caus
ing distress. By a manipulation of tho
dust, the same hand that molded tho
mountains molded tho features, and
molded the limbs of the father of tho
human race. But his eyes did not see,
and his nerves did not fee!, and his
muscles did not move, and his lungs
did not breathe, anil his heart did not
puLate. A perfect form ho lay along
the earth, symmetrical and of godlike
countenance. Magnificent piece of di
vine carpentry and omnipotent sculpt
uring, but no vitality. A body with
out a soul.
Then the sourco of all life stoopod to
the inanimate nostril and lip, and, as
many a skillful and earnest physician
has put his lips to a patient in comatose
utateand breathed into his mouth and
nostril, and at tho same time compressed
the lungs, until that which was artificial I go much difficulty in keeping up np
respiration became natural respiration, j pearances should try a. hand at keeD-

i ,,.i,,l,.,!e and the eyes to open
and the entire form to

' But the scene of this Sat mday is not
vet done, and in the atmosphere,
drowsy with tho breath of Bower, an,,
tho song of bobolinks and robin red
breasls,' 'the man slumbers, and by

What do you think of that one week's
work? 1 review it not for entertain
ment, but because I would have you
join in David's doxology. "Great and
marvelous are thy works, Lord (iod
Almighty;" because I want you til
know what a homestead our Father
built for his children at the start,
though sin has despoiled it, and be
cause I want vou to know how the
world will look again when Christ shall
have re..tored it, swinging now between
two Kdens; because 1 want you ti)
realize something of what a mighty
(iod he is, and the utter folly of trying
to war against liiin; because I want
you to make peace with this chief of
the universe through the Christ who
mediates between offended Omnipo
tence nnd human rebellion; because 1
want you to know how fearfully and
wonderfully you are made, your body
as well as your soul an Omnipotent
achievement; because I want you to
realize that order reigns throughout the
universe, and that God's watches tick
to the second, and that his clocks
strike regularly, though they strike
once in a thousand years.
A learned man once asked an old
Christian man who had no advantages
of schooling why he believed there was
a God. and the good old man, who
probably had never hoard an argument
on the subject in all his life, made this
noble reply: "Sir, 1 have been here
going hard upon fifty years. Everv
day since I have been in this world I
see the sun rise in the east and sot in
tlio west. The north star stands where
it did tho lirst time 1 saw it; the seven
stars and Job's coffin keep on the saiuo
path in the sky and never turn out. It
isn't so with man's work. He makes
clocks and watches; they may run well
for awhile, but they get out of fix and
stand stock still. But the sun and
moon and stars keep on this same way
all the w hile. The heavens declare the
glory of (iod." Yea, I preach this be
cause I want you to walk in apprecia
tion of Addison's sublime sentiment

Joseph II. Moore, of Tort Worth, j
Tex., whose cattle interests exceed
those of any man in the southwest, was
among the guests at tho Lick, where in
conversation with a reporter ho said:
"You have heard a great deal, no
doubt, or did, a few years ago, at least,
of tho famous 'Cattle Kings' of tho
west, who were supposed to reckon
their wealth by the millions. The bus
iness of raising cattle was conducted on
a grand scale, and at one timo tho
profits were simply enormous. This
naturally attracted capital in large
,'imounts, and wealthy men from all
parts of the world rushed eagerly into
the business of breedingand raising c
tle. The result was overproduction and
a serious decline in prices.
"Three years ago it became evident to
those who studied closely the course of
events that cattle raising would soon
change from large herds on tho range
to small herds on the farm. Those who
were shrewd enough to foresee this took
prompt advantage of it, and today have
before them the pleasant prospect of
good prices and a ready market. As a
conscipienee, however, the days of the
cowboy are numbered, and ho is doomed
to extinction just as certainly as wus
the buffalo and the Indian. The small
farm is crowding them slowly but surely
to tho wall, and in a few years they will
bo gone." San Francisco Call.
