TALMAGE DISCUSSES A 'Reasonable topic; U U GrmpHlo Word Pic tores of IlnrtJ Life f In Aatojnn Th IlrsiTenly Ilaxrest. onijth bm m Shock of Corn In LIU S- Copyright, 1S37. by American Press Asso- elation. 1 WASHDfQTON, Oct 10. This sermon by Dr. Talmage is pecnliaxly seasonable at the nresent time, when the teeminz harresta all ovr the land are awaitinc the husbandman. His text is Jobvll season." ' Going at the rate of 40 miles tho hour a few davs ago. I caught this ser mbn." If you have recently been J in the fields of Pennsylvania or Iew Jersey, or liew lork or pbvr England orjanyor the country districts, you know that the corn is nearly all- cut. u.ne snarp Knue struck through the stalks and left them all along the fields until a man came with a bundle ; of straw and twsted a few of these wisps of straw into a band, and then, gathering up as much it the corn tin he could ccmnau with his arms. he bound it with this wisp of strakv and then stood it in the field in what is call ed a shock. -It Is estimated that there aro now several billion bushels cf corn standing in tho shock, waiting to bei husked. Some time during the latter part of next month tho farmers will gather, one day on one farm, another day on another farm, and they I will put on their rough husking apron, and they will take the husking peg, which is a piece ofj .iron with a leather loop fastened to the hand, and with it unsheath the corn from the husk and toss it into the gold en heap. Then the wagons will come along and take it to the corncrib. j ' How vividly to all thosb of u$ who were born in the country comes the re membrance of husking time We waited for it as for a gala day of tho year. It was called a 'frolic The trees having for th ares part e2td tbttr foiiafA the farmers waded, through the fallen leaves and came through the keen morning air to the gleeful company. The frosts, which had "silvered everything during tho night, began to melt ofT of the top of tho corn shocks. While the farmers wero waiting for others they stood Mow ing their breath through their fingers or thrashing their arras around their bodies to keep up warmth of circulation. The Cornfield. Roaring mirth greeted tho late fanner as ho crawled over tho fenco. Jokb and repartee and rustio salutation abounded. All ready now I Tho men tako hold the shock of corn and hurl it prostrate, whilo the moles and mico which have secreted themselves there for warmth attempt escape, TheAvitho of strw is unwound from tho corn shock, and tho stalks, heavy with tho wealth of grain, aro rolled into two bundles, between which tho busker sits down. Tho h usk hng peg is thrust In until it strikesthe corn, and .then tho fingers rip o2r the sheathing of tho ear, and thero lis a crack as tho root of the corn is snapped off from tho husk, and tho grain, disim prisoned, is hurled up into the sunlight Tho air is so tonic, tho work is so very exhilarating, tho company is 'so blithe, that some laugh and somo shout and som$ sing and somo banterj and somo teaso a neighbor for a romantic rido along tho edge of tho woods in an eventide in a carriago that hold but two and somo prophesy as to tho num ber of bushels to tho field, and others go into competition as to which shall rifle the most corn shocks before sundown. After awhilo tho dinner horn sounds from tho farmhouse, and the table is surrounded by a group of jolly and hungry men. From all tho xaritries and the cellars and the perches of fowl on the place tho richest dainties como and thcro aro carnival and neighborhood re union and a scene which fills our mem ory, part with smiles, but moro with tears, as wo remember that tho farm be longs now to other owners, and other hands gather in tho .fields, and many of those who mingled in that merry husk ing scene havo themselves been reaped "like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. " . ?There is a difference cf opinion as to whether tho orientals knew anything about the corn as it stands in our fields, but recent discoveries have found out that the Hebrew knew all about Indian maize, for there have been grains of tho corn picked np out of ancient crypts and exhumed from hiding places where they were put down many centuries ago, and they have been planted in our time and have come up just such Indi an maize as we raise in New York and Ohio, so I am right when I say that my text may refer to a shock of corn just as you and I bound it, just as you and 1 threw tt, just as you and I husked it There may coma some practical' and useful ri eornfsrttaff lessens to xll our souls while we think of coming in at last "like a shock -of -corn coming in in his soason. " It is hifih tune that the king of ter- rors were thrown out or tne uansuau ocabularr. A vast multitude of people talk of death as- though it were the dis aster of disasters instead of being to a good man the bleasing of blessings. It is moving out of a cold vestibule into a warm tempi a it is migrating into groves of redolence and perpetual fruit acre. It is a change from bleak March to roseate June.- It is a change of mana cles for garlands. It is the transmuting of the iron handcuffs of earthly incar ceration, into the diamonded wristlets cf a bridal party, or, to use tho sugges tion of my text, it is only husking time. It is Jho tea-ring off oflthe rough sheath of tho body that the bright and the beautiful f soul may go free. Com ing in "like a shock of corn cometh in In his season." Christ broke up a fu ll era I procession at the gate of Nain by making a resurrection day for a young man and his mother. And I would that 1 could break, up yotir sadnesses and halt the long funeral procession of the world's grief by some cheering and cheerful view of; the last transition. Tin l toU We all know that husking time was a time of frost Frost on the fence. Frost on the stubble, j Frost on the ground. Frost on the bare branches of the trees.' Frost in the air.J Frost on the hands of the buskers. You remember we used to hide behind the corn stacks so as to keep off the wind, but still you remem ber how shivering was , the body and how painful was the cheek and how be numbed were the hands. But after awhilo the sun Was high up and all the. frosts went out of the air, and hilarities awakened the echoes and joy from, one corn shock went up, "Aha, aha 1" and was answered by joy from another corn shock, "Aha. aha!" So we all realize that the death cf our friends is the nipping of many ex pectations, the frieringr-lhe' chilling, tho frosting of many of our hopes. It is far from ,'.'ng a south wind. It comes from tne frigid north, and when they, go away from us we stand benumbed in body and benumbed in mind and be numbed in souL We stand among our dead neighbors, our dead families, and wo say, "Will we ever get over it?" Yes, wo will get over, it amid tho shout ings of heavenly reunion, and wo will look back to all these distresses of be- reavement only as the temporary dis-' tresses of husking time. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh Inthe morning. " "Light, and but for a moment," said tho apostle as he clap ped his hands, "light, and but for a moment " The chill of tho frosts fol lowed by the gladness that cometh in "like as a' shock of corn cometh in in his season. ' Of course the husking time made rough work with tho ear of corn. The husking peg had to be thrust in and the hard thumb of the husker had to come down on the swathing of tho ear, and then there was a pull and a ruthless . tearing and then a complete snapping off before tho corn was free, and if the husk could have spoken it would have said: "Why do you lacerate me? Why fcu'wncoh te?" Ail, j&j friends, that is the way God has arranged that the ear and the husk shall part, and that is the way he has-arranged that the body and soul shall separate. You can afford to have your physical dis tresses when ! you know that they are only forwarding the soul's liberation. Every rheumatic pain is only a plunge on tho husking peg. Every neuralgic twinge is only a twist by the husker. There is gold in you that must como put Some way the shackle must bo broken. Some way tho ship must be launched for heavenly voyago. You must let the heavenly Husbandman husk off tho mortality from tho immortality. Chronic Ailments. There ought to be great consolation in this for j all who havo chronic ail ments, since tho Lord is gradually and moro mildly taking away from you that which ;himier3 your soul's libera tion, doing gradually for you what for many of us in robust health perhaps he will do in one 71 blew at tba last At the close of ''every illness, at the close of every paroxysm, you ought to say, "Thank God that is all pasfr now, thank God I will 1 never havo to suffer that again, thank God I am so much nearer tho hour of liberation. " You will nev er suffer the same pain twico. You may have a new pain in an old place, but never the same pain twice Tho pain does its work and then it dies. Just so many plunges of the crow bar to free tho quarry stono for the building. Just so many strokes of the chisel to complete tho statue. Just so many pangs to separate tho soul from tho body. You who havo chronic ail ments and ! disorders aro only paying in installments that which some of us will havo. to pay in one payment when we pay tho debt of nature. Thank God, therefore, ye who have chronic disorders, that you have so much less suffering at the last. Thank God that you will have so much less to feel in the way of pain at tho hands of tho heavenly Husband man when j" tho shock of corn cometh in in his season. " . Perhaps j now this may be an answer to a question which I asked one Sabbath morning, but did not answer, Why is it that so many really good people have so dreadfully to suffer? You often find a good man with enough pains and aches and 'distresses, you would think, to discipline a whole colony, while you will find a!man who is perfectly useless going around with easy digestion and steady nerves and shining health, and his exit from the world is comparative ly painless. How do you explain that? Well, I noticed in the husking time that the husking peg was, thrust into the corn and then there must be a stout pull before tho swathing was taken off of the ear and tho full, round, healthy, luxuriant corn was developed, while on tho otherj hand there was corn that hardly seemed worth husking. We xvw that Into a place all by itself and v called tt "nubbin " I "NuWin." Some of it was mildewed, and some of it was mice nibbled, and some of it was great promise and no fulfillment All cobs aad no corn. Nubbins 1 After the good corn had been driven up to tho barn we came around with the corn basket and we picked up these nubbins. They were worth saving, but not worth much. So all around us there are peo ple who amount to nothing. They de velop into no kind of usefulness. They are nibbled on one side by the world and nibbled on the other side by the devil and mildewed all over. Great promise and no fulfillment All cobs and no corn. Nubbins 1 They are worth saving. I suppose many of them will get to heaven, but they are not worthy to be mentioned in the samo day with those who went through great tribulation into the king lorn of our God.. Who would not rather have the pains cf this life, the misfor tunes of this life who would not rath tr be torn, and wounded, and lacerated, And wrfinchwl- and hnstpd. srnd At last ; go in amid the very best grain of the granary, than to be pronounced not worth busking at all? Nubbins I In oth er words, I want to say to you people who have distress 6f body and distress in business and distress of all sorts the Lord has not any: grudge lagainst you. It is not derogatory it is complimen tary. "Whom the J-ord loveth he chas teneth.'j and it. Is proof pekitiv that there is something valuable in you or the Lord would not have husked you. You remember also that n the time of Imsking it was a neighboring re union. By the great fireplace in the winter, the fires f roaring around the glorificc backlogs" on an old: fashioned hearth, jof which the modern! stoves and registers are only the degneate de scendants, the farmers used to gather and spejad the eveiing, and there would be much sociality, but it was not any thing like the joy?of "the hulking time, for then all the farmers came, and they came in ther very test humor, and they came' from beyond the meadow, and they cam o from, beyond the brook, and they came from -regions two and three miles around. Good spirit reigned su preme, jand there jjwere great! handshak ings, and there Tfas carnival, and there was th recital of the brightest experi ence in ail their Jives, and there was a neighborhood reunion the memory of which knakesalljihe nerves hi my body tremble with emkltion as thei strings of La harp iwhen thefhigerseT a player have swept the chords.! , j !

" j . j j . Yes, heaven a great sjpciable, with joy like tho joy of the ' husking time. No ono thero feeling so big he declines to speak to some one who is not so large.

You can not expect to get to Charleston by tak ing ship for Portland, and you cannot expect to get to; heaven by going in an opposite direction. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Through that one gate of pardon and peace all the race may go in. "But," ssiy some one, do you real ly think I would be at 'home in that supernal society if I could reach it?" I think you would.' I know you would I remember that in the husking time there was a great equality of feeling among the neighbors. There at one corn shock a farmer would be at work who owned 200 acres of ground.

Ono night after displaying these jewels and leaving them on j the table, and all her friends had gone, and the servants had gone one summer night she sat thinking and looking into a mirror just in front of her chair, when she saw in that mir ror the face of a robber looking in at the window behind her and gazing at those jewels. She was in great fright, but sat still, and" hardly knowing why she did so she began to sing an old nurs ery song, her fears making the pathos : of the song more telling. - ! ' Suddenly she noticed whilo looking at tho mirror that the robber's face had gone from the window, and it did not como back. . A few days after the prima donna received a letter from the robber, saying, "I heard that the jewels were to be out that night, and I cam to take them at whatever hazard,; but when I heard you sing that nursery song with which my mother so often eang me to sleep I could not stand it and I fled, knd I have resolved upon a new and an honest life." ; !'

It has been urged that the grind stone is too expensive a tool for a native carpenter who has a wnall fixed workshop, but thU is .almurd, as U may bo made of any sandstorvn and may l!e nibiintod entirely in wood, including axle, bonjings and handle. All fiandatonos are not equal ly good, but "any ono is better thnn tho whetstono uh nt proflont used. Tho sharpening of saws comes next in order. It involves 4on outlay on files which 'the carpenter Ui lonth to make. I havo met only one Indian workman who without compulsion kept hia nws in good order.
