Text: "7r ways are wans of pleas 'int
mess." Proverbs 17.
You have all heard of God's only begotten
Son. Have you heard of Goi'a "daughter?
She was born in heaven. Sh cime down
over the hills of our world. She hd queenly
step. On her brow was celestial radiance.
Her voice was music. Her name is Religion.
My text introluces her. "Her wjtys are
-ways of pleas in tness, au 1 all her paths are
.peace."
But what is religion? The fact w that
theological study has had a different effect
upon me from the ffffCt sometimes pro
duced. Every year I tear out another leaf
from my theology until I have only three or
four leaves left in other words, a very brief
and plain statement of Christain belief.
An aged Christian minister said: "When
I was a youna: man, I knew everything;
when I got to be thirty-five years or age, in
tny ministry I had only a hundred doctrines
of religion; when I got to be forty year of
age, I had only fifty doctrines of religion;
when I got to be sixty years of age, I had
only ten doctrines of religion, and now I am
dying at seventy-five years of age.and there
is only one thing I know, and that is that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinner?." And so I have noticed in the study
of God's word and in my contemplation of
the character of God and of the eternal
world that it is necessary for me to drop this
part of my belief and that part of my belief
as being nonessential, while I cling to the
one great doctrine that man is a sinner, and
Christ is his Almighty and Divine Saviour.
Now J take these three or four leaves of
my theology, and I find that, in the first
place, and dominant above all others, is the
sunshine of religion. When I go into a room
I have a passion for throwing open all the
shutter?. '1 hat is what I want to do this
morning. We are apt to throw so much of
the sepulchral into our relig.on and to close
the shutters and to pull down the blinds
that it is only through here and there acre
vice that the light streams. The religion of
the Lord Jesus Christ is a. religion of joy in
describable and unutterable. Wherever I
can find a bell I mean to ring it.
If there are any in this house this morn
ing who are disposed to hold on to their
melancholy and gloom, let them now depart
this service oefore the iairest and the bright
est and the most raiiant being of all the
universe comes in. God's Son has left our
world, but God's daugher is here. Give her
room. Hail, princess of heaven I Hail,
daughter of tne Lord God Almighty I Come
in and make this house thy throueroom.
In setting forth this idea the dominant
theory of religion is one of sunshine. I
hardly know where to begin, for there are
so many thoughts that rush upon rny soul.
A mother saw her little child seated on the
floor in the sunshine and with a spoon in her
hand. She said, 'My darling, what are
you doing there?" "Oh " replied the child,
l'in getting a spoonful of this sunshine."
Would Go i that to-Jay I might present you
with a gleaming chalice of this glorious,
everlasting Gospel sunshine!
First of all, I iind a great aeal of sunshine
in Christian society.
I do not know of anything more doleful
than the companionship of the mere tun
makers of the world che Thomas Hood?,
the CUarles Lambs, the Charles Matthews
of the world the men whose entire business
it is to make sport. They make others
laugh, but if you will examine their autobi
ography or biography you will find that
down ia their soul there was a terrific dis
quietude. Laughter is no sign of happiness.
The manaic laughs. The hyena laughs. The
loon among the Adirondacks laugu. The
druukard, dashing his decanter against the
wall, laughs.
There is a terrible reaction from all sinful
amusement and sinful merriment. Sucu
men are cross the next day. They snap at
you on exchange, or they pass you, not
recognizing you. Long ago I quit mere
worldly society tor the reason is was so dull,
so inane and so f-tupid. My nature is
voracious of joy. I must have it.
I always walk on the sunny side of the
street, and for that reason I have crossed
over into Christian society. I liie their mode
of repartee better; 1 like their style of
amusement better. They live longer.
Christian people, I sometimes notice, live on
when by all natural law they ught to have
died, I have known persons who have con
tinued in their existence when the doctor
said they ought to have been dead ten years.
Every day of their existence was a detiancs
of the laws of anatomy anl physiology, but
they had this supernatural vivacity of the
Gospel in their soul, and that kept theai
alive.
Put ten or twelve Christian people in a
room for Christiau conversation, anl you
will from 8 to 10 o'clock hear more resound
ing glw, s-a more bright strokes of wit, and
find more thought and profound satisfac
tion than in any merely worldly party.
Now, when I say a "worldly party" I mean
that to which you are invited, because un
der all the circumstances ot the case it is
the best for you to be invited, and to which
you go because under all circuustancas oc
the ( a?e it is batter that you go, and leaving
the shawls on the second door you go to tha
parlor to give formal salutation to the hose
an l the hostess, and then move around
spending the whole evening in the discus
sion of the weather, anl in apology tor
treading on Ion:; trails, and in effort to keep
the corners of the mouth up to the sign
of pleasure, and going around with an
idiotic he-he about nothing, until the colla
tion is served, an I then alter the collation
is served goiug back again into the parlor
to resume the weather, and then at the close
going at a very late hour to the host and
hostess and assuring them that you have
had a most delightful evening, an 1 then pass
ingdow n off the front steps, the slaraof the
door the only satisfaction oi the evening.
Oh, young man, come xrom the country
to spend your days in city life, where are
you going to spend your evenings? Let me
tell you, while there are many places of in
nocent worldly amusement, it is most wise
for you to throw your body, mind au i soul
into" Christian society. Come to me at the
close of five years and tell me what has been
the result of this advice. Bring with you
the young man who refuse 1 to take the ad
vice and who went into sinful amusement.
He will come dissipated, shabby in apparel,
ind sposed to look any on9 in the eyes, moral
-character eighty-five per cent. off. You will
come with principle settled, countenance
frank, habits good, soul saved and all the
inhabitants of heaven, from the lowest angel
up to the archangel and clear past him to
the Lord God Almighty, your coadjutors.
This is not the advice of & misanthrope.
There is no man in the house to whom the
world is brighter than it is to me. It is noti
the advice of a dyspeptic my digestion is
perfect; it is not the advice of a man who
cannot understand a joke or who prefers a
iuneral; it is not the advice of a wornout
man, but the advice of a man who can see
this world in all its brightness, and, consid
ering myself competent in judging what is
good cheer, I tell the multitudes of young
wen in this house this morning that there is
m
?'Othing in worllly associations
o grand
and o beautiiul and
SO
exbi aruuC as in
christian xrity.
I know there w a great deal of talk about
the stlf denials of the Christian. I have to
tell you toat where tue Christian has one
elf denial the man of the world has a thou
sand self denials. Tne Christian is not com
manded to mrrender anything that is worth
keeping. But what does a man denr him
self who denies himself the religion of
Christ. He deDUs himself pardon of sin;
he denies himself peace of conscience; he de
nies himself the joy of the Holy Ghost; he
denies himself a comfortable death pillow;
he denies himself the glories of heaven. Do
not talk to me about the salt denials of the
Christian life I Wuere there is ore in the
Christian life there are a thousand in the
life of the world. "Her ways are waya of
pleasantness "
Again, I find a great deal of religious sun
shine in Christian and divine explanation.
To a great many people life is an inexplica
ble tangle. Things turn out differently from
what was supposed. There is a useless wo
man in perfect health. There is an iadus
trious and onsecrated woman a complete
invalid. Explain that. There is a bad man
with t'S 00.) of income. There is a good man
with S00 of income. Why Is that? There is
a foe of society who lives on, doing all the
the damage he can, to saventy-fiva years of
age, and here is a Christian father, faithful
in every department of life, xt thirtv-dve
vears taken away by death, his family left
helpless. Explain that. Ob, there 13 no
sentence that oftener drops from your lips
than this: "1 cannot understand it. lean
not understand it."
Well, now, religion comes in just at that
point with its illuminatioa and its explana
tion. There is a business man who has lost
his ent re fortune. The week before ha lo3t
his fortune there were twenty carriages that
stoppad at the door of his mansion. The
week after he lost his fortune all the car
riages you count on one finger. The week
before "financial trouble began p;ople all took
off their hats to him as he passel down the
street. The week his financial prospects
were under discussion people just touched
their hats without anywise ben ling the rim.
The week that he was pronounced insovlent
people just jolted their heads as they passed,
not tipping their hats at all, and the week
the sheriff sold him out all his friends were
looking in the store win lows as they went
down past him.
Now, while the world fjo?3 away fro"n a
man when he is in financial distress, the re
ligion of Christ comes to him and savs:
"You are sick and your sickness is to be
moral purification; you are bereaved; God
wanted in some way to take your family to
heaven, and He must begin somewhere, an I
so He took the one that was most beautiful
and was most ready to go." I do not say
that religion explains everything in this life,
but I do say it lays down certain principles
which are grandly consolatory. You know
business men often telegraph in ciphers.
The merchant in San Francisco telegraphs
to the merchant in New York certain infor
mation in ciphers tvhich no other man in
that line of business can understand, but
the merchant in San Francisco has the key
to the cipher, and the merchant in New York
has the key to the cipher, and on that in
formation transmitted there are enterprises
involving hundrads of thousands of dollars.
Now the providencas of life sometimes
seem to be a sensaless rigmarole, a mysteri
ous cipher, but God has a key to that cipher,
and the Christian a key to that cipher, and,
though he may hardly be able to spall ou the
meaning', he gets enough of the meaning tD
understand that it is for the best. Now is
there not sunshine in that? Is there not
pleasure in that? Far bayond laughter, it
is nearer the fountain of tears than Doisfer
ous demonstration. Have you never cried
for joy? There are tears whica are eternal
rapture in distillation.
There are hundreds of people in this housa
who are walking day by day in the sublime
satisfaction that all is for the best, all things
working together for good for their soul.
How a man can get along through this life
without the explanation is tome a mystery.
Whatl is that child gone forever? Are you
never to get it back? Is your property gone
forever? Is your soul to be bruisei and to
be tried forever?"Have you no explanation,
no Christian explanation, and yet not a
maniac? But when you have the religion of
Jesus Christ in your soul, it explains every
thing so far as it is best for you to under
stand. You look off in life, and your soul
is full of thanksgiving to Goi tnat you are
so much better off than you might be.
A man passed down the street without
any shoes and said: "I have no shoes. Isn't
it a hardship that I have no shoes? Other peo
ple have shoes; no shoes, no shoes," until he
saw a man who had no feet. Then he
learned a lesson. You ought to thank God
for what He does, instead of grumbling for
what He does not. God arranges all the
weather in this world the spiritual
weather, the moral weather as well as the
natural weather. "What kind of weather
will it be to-day?'' said some one to a farmer.
The farmer replied, "It will be such weather
as I like." "What do you mean by that,"
asked the other. "Well," said the farmer,
"it will be such weather as pleasas the Lord,
and what pleases the Lord pleases me."
Oh, the sunshine' the sunshine of Chris
tian explanation! Here is some one baaaiag
over the grave of the dead. What is going
to be the consolation? The flowers you
strew upon the tomb? Oh, nol The ser
vices read at the grasj? On, no. The
chief consolation on that grave is wnat falls
from the throne of God. Sunshine, glori
ous sunshine. Resurrection sunshine.
Aain, I find a great deal of the sunshine
of this Bible and of our religion in tne
climacteric joys that are to come. A man
who gets up and goes out from a con
cert right after the opening voluntary
has been piayed, and before the prima
donna sings, or before the orcuestra
begin?, has a better idea of that concert
than that man has who supposes that the
chief joys of religion are in this world. We
here have only the first note of the eternal
orchestra. We snail in tnac wona nave
joy of discovery. We will in five minutes
catch up with the astronomers, the geolo
gists, the scientists, the philosophers of all
ages, who so tar surpassad us in this world.
We can afford to adjourn astronomy and
geology and many of the sciences to the next
world"becausa we shall there have ostter ap
paratus and better opportunity.
I must study these sciences so far as to
help me in my work, but beyond that I
must give myself to saving my own soul
and saving the souls of others, knowing that
in one flash of eternity we will eaten it ail.
Oh, what an observatory in which to study
astronomy heaven will te, uoc by power o:
telescope but by supernatural vision; anl
if there be something douotful 10,000,00 J
miles awav, by one stroke of the wing you
are there" by another strode of the wing
you are back again, and all in less time thau
1 tell you, catching it all in oaa flisn of
eternity.
And geology I What a place that will be
to study geology, when the world is being
picked to pieces as easily as a schoolgirl in
botanical lessons pulls the leaf from the
corolla I What a place to study architecture,
amid the thrones and the palaces and the
cathedrals St. Mark's and St. Paul's roo
eries in comparison.
Sometimes you wish you could make the

my friend. You are going to the univprty
vet. Death will only matriculate you into
the royal college of the universe-
What a sublime thing it was that Dr.
Thornweil, of South Carolina, uttered in his
last dying moments! As be looked up n
said. "It opens; it expands; it exoaads.
Or as Mr. Toptady, the autoor of "Rock Oi

hour?, looked up and said, as thougn he saw

"Light f and at the very moment of his de
parture lifted botn ban is, something super
natural in his countenance as he cried,
"Light!" Only another name for sunshine.
Besides that we shall have all the pleasures
of association. We will go right up in th
front of God without any f rint. All our
sins gone, there will be nothing to be fright
ened about. There oar old Christian friends
will troop around us. Just as now one of
your sick friends goes away to Florida, the
land of flowers, or to the south of Franc?,
and you do not see him for a long while, an 1
after a while you meet him, and the hollows
under the eyes are all filled, and the appetite
has come back, and the crutch has beer
thrown away, and he is so changed you hard
ly know him. You sav, "Why, I never saw
you look so V7ell.w He says: "I couldn't
help but be well. I have been sailing these
rivers and climbing these mountains, and
that's how I got this elasticity. I never was
so well."
Oh, ray friend?, your departed loved ones
are only away for their health in a better
climate, and when you meet them they will
be so changed you will hardly know them
they will be so very much changed, and
after awhile, when you are assured that
they are your friends, your departed friends,
you will say: "Why, where is that cough?
Where is that paralysis? Where is that
pneumonia? Where is that consumption?
And he will say: "Oh, I am entirely well!
There are no sick ones in this country. I
have been ranging these hills, and hence
this elasticity. I have been here now twenty
years, and not one sick one hava I seen we
are all well in this climate."
And then I stand at the gate of the celes
tial city to see the proce;;sion come out, and
I see a long proeession of little children
with their arms full of flower, and then I
see a procession of kings and priests moving
in celestial pageantry a long procession,
but no black tasseled vehicle, no mourning
group, and I say: "How strange it is!
where is your Greenwood? where is your
Laurel Hill? where is your Westminster
Abbey?" And they shall cry, "There are
no graves here."
And then listen for the tolling of the old
belfries of heaven, the old belfries of
eternity. I listen to hear them toll for the
dead, but they toll not for the dead . They
only strike up a silvery chime, tower to
tower, east gate to west gate, as they ring
out, "They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more, neither shall the sun light
on them, nor any beat, for the Lamb which
is in the midst of the throne shall lead them
to living fountains of water, and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Oh, unglove your hand and give it to me
in congratulation on that scene ! I feel as if
I would shout. 1 will shout halleluiah!
Dear Lord, forgive me that I ever com
plained about anything. If all this is be
lore us, who cares for anything but God and
heaven and eternal brotherhood? Take the
crape off the doorbell. Your loved ones are
only away for their health in a land am
brosial. Come, Lowell Mason; come, Isaac
Watts, and give us your best hymn about
joy celestial.
What is the use of postponing our heaven
any longer? Lat it begin now, and whoso
ever hath a harp lot her thrum it, and who
soever hath a trumpet let him blow it, and
whosoever hath an organ let him give us a
lull diapason. They crowd down the air,
spirits blessed, moving in cavalcade of tri
umph. Their chariot wheels whirl in tha
Sabbath sunlight. They come. Halt, ar
mies of God I Halt until we are ready to
join the battalioa of pleasures that never
die.
Oh, my friends, it would take a sermon as
long as eternity to tell the joys that ar9
coming to us, I just set open the sunshiny
door. Come in, all ye disciples of the
world who have found the world a mockery.
Come in, all ye disciples of the dance, au 1
see the bounding feet of this heavenly glad
ness. Come in, ye disciples of worldly
amusement, and see the stage where kings
are the actors, and burning worlds the foot
lights, and thrones the spectacular.
Arise, ye dead in sin, for this is the morn
ing of resurrection. The joys of heaven
submerge our soul. I pull out the trumpet
stop. In thy presence there is a fullness of
joy; at thy right hand there are plea&ures
forevermore.
Blessed are th saints beloved of God;
Washed are their robes la Jesas's blood;
Brighter than angels, lo! they 6hine,
Their glories splendid and sublime.
My goal anticipates the day,
Would stretch her wing and soar away
To aid the sons;, the palm to bear.
And bow the chief of sinnera there.
Oh, the suushine, the glorious sunshine,
the everlasting sunshine!
PAYMENTS OF PENSIONS.
Treasury Officials Advocate the
Abolition of the Pension Agencies.
The proposition now becore Congress, of
having pension payments made direct from
the United 'States Treasury instead of
through pension agencies, as at present,
meets with general support by officials of
the Treasury Department, The Secretary
recently requested the views of the buraau
officials directly affected in tha matter and
ascertained that they were nearly all in
favor of the change, as being in tha
interests of economy and a better
service generally. The present system
entails an annual expense of foO.y
U00, whereas ths same service, it U
intended, could ba p-roraji in a bet
ter manner under the plan proposed at an
annual expensa of $35VJ0O. A change would
involve the abolition oi"' eighteen pension
agencies in different parts of the country
and an increase in th present wording
force of the Treasury Department, re
sulting, however, in an annual saving of
$150,000. Under the plan proposed the
Treasury Department would deal directly
with the pensioners instead of through the
agents as at present, and the payments
would be made by mesns of checks mailed
to the pensioners in the same way as the
payments of interest checks on G-overnmeat
bonds are now made.

In Europe, where the horse is every
year more used as human food, the ani
mals are not allowed to become a mass of
skin and jagged bones, as old horses of
ten do here. They are fattened, and
even an old horse can be made quite fat

fatten an old horse than it is to fatten an
old cow. Boston Cultivator.
An Expert's Opiaion.
Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists and
hygienists a to the relative valus of the
various baking powders. A careful sifting
of the evidence leaves no doubt as to the
tuperiority of the Royal Baking Powder in
purity, wholesomeuess and strength, from
a scientific standpoint. An opinion, how
ever, that will have perhaps greater influ
ence with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the well known
and popular writer, upon matters pertain
ing to the scienc of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, and of home cooking. in a
letter published in the Philadelphia Ladies'
Home Journal, this writer says:
"I regard the IVyal Baking Powder a
the best manufactured and in the market,
so far as I have any experience in the use of
such compounds. Since the introduction of
it into my kitchen 1 have us?d no other iu
making biscuits, cakes, etc., and have en
tirely discarded for such purposes the home
made combination of one-third soda, two
thirds cream of tartar.
"Every box has been in perfect condition
when it came into my hand, and tl e con
tents have given complete satisfacti n. It
is an act of simple justice, and also a pleas
ure, to recommend it unqualifiedly to Amer
ican housewives. Mahiox Harlaxd."
Repulsive Alaskan Customs.
"The natives of Southeastern Alaska,"
said ex-Governor A. P. Swinford, of
Alnska, to the Star representative, "are
rapidly falling into the customs of
Americans, particularly as to their dress,
some of the better class of natives dress
ing even better than the American resi
dents. It was formerlv the custom in
Southeastern Alaska for the women to
wear a 'labret' or short piece of bone or
steel in their lower lip by way of orna
ment. Now one observes it only among
the old women. Along the Bering Sea the
men thus puncture their lips. They
begin with a small piece of steel or bone
no larger than a needle and gradually
increase the size until it measures nearly
an inch in diameter. The bigger the
Mabret' the more pleased and important
feels the native. Men and women alike
plaster their faces with a thick coating
of black paste obtained from grinding a
sort of soft rock. They say it keeps the
features warm in winter and protects
them in summer from the attacks of in
sects and troublesome flies. As a race
the people are under size and not per
sonally attractive, though at Sitka one
may see some splendid specimens of
muscular development among the men,
while some of the young women are
good
looking. There are now four
newspapers' published in the Territory
and it is progressing satisfactorily. Mv

so prefer, they may have it done for
them by paying the small sum of ten
