I .__2L‘_ V -v-uv '- “Then was our mouth filled with laughter."â€"Psalm cxxvi. 2. “He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh."â€"Psalm ii. 4. Thirty-eight times does the Bible make reference to this configurationI of the features and quick expulsion of breath which we call laughter. Sometimes it is born of the sunshine and sometimes the midnight. Some- times it stirs the sympathies of an- ,gels and sometimes the cachinations m’ devils. All hormthy peop'e laugh; whether it pleases the Lord, or dis- pleases him. that depends upon When we laugh and at what We laugh. My theme this morning. is the laughter of the Bible. munry: Sarah's laugh, or that of scepticism; David's laugh, ‘ ' ----- ‘ --...I_ FOLLY T0 LAUGH AI GOD Rev. Dr. Talmage Thinks We Had Better Keep the Bible Intact. (’1' Lilith l” uvyr ....... , or that of spiritual exul- ‘ tation; the fool's laugh. ‘ or that of sinful merriment; God’s * laugh, or that of intinite condemna- : tion; Heaven's laugh. or that of ‘ eternal triumph. Scene: an oriental ‘ tent. The occupants, old Abraham and Sarah, perhaps wrinkled and ‘ decrepit. 'l‘heir three guests are three angels, the Lord Almighty is ' of them. In return for the hospital- ity shown by the old people, God f promises Sarah that she shall be- . come the ancestress of the Lord I; Jesus Christ. Sarah laughs in the . face of God; she does not believe it. She is aflrighted at what she has done. She denies it. she says: “I; didn't laugh." Then God retortedi |with an emphasis that silenced all'. disputation: “lint thou did’st’ laugh." My Iriends, the laugh otl scepticism in all the ages is only thei echo of Sarah’s laughter. God saysl he will accomplish a thing, and meal ! say it cannot be done. A great mul- ! titude laugh at the miracles. Theyi say they are contrary to the laws of nature. What is a law of nature? It is lod’s Way of doing a thing. The next laughter mentioned 1)) the Bible is David’s laughter, or the expression of spiritual exultation. “'l‘hen was our mouth filled with laughter." He got very much down sometimes, but there are other chap- ters where, for four or five times he calls upon the people to praise and exult. It was not a mere twitch of the lips; it was a demonstration i that took hold of his whole physical . nature. “'l‘hen was our mouth tilled I with laughter." My friends, this lbll jgyufi-u-uv. - ___ x'tv'orld will never b3 converted to God until Christians any less and ‘- _ --.‘n ”4‘ laugh and sing more. The horrors l] are a poor bait. If people are to 99 be persuaded to adopt our holy re- p ligion, it will be because they have ,1 made up their mind it is a happy l‘ religion. They do not like an ultra-1E bilious Christianity. I know there ;, are morbid people who enjoy a fun- '11 eral. They come early to see the 1: friends take leave of the corpse, and Lthey steal a ride to the cemetery; 3 but all healthy people enjoy a mar- . riage better than they do a burial. Now. you make the religion of! Christ sepulchral and hearse-like, and you make it repuisive. I say plant the Rose of Sharon along church Walks. and columbine to clamber over the church wall, and have a smile on the lip, and have the mouth filled with holy laughter. There is no man in the world ex- cept the Christian that has a right to feel an untrammeled glee. He is promised that everything is the best here. and he is on the way to a de- light which will take all the proces- sions with palm-branches, and all the orchestras harped and cymbaled to express. 0! rejoice evermore. You know how it is in an armyâ€"an army in encampment. If today, news comes that our side has had a defeat, and tomorrow another por- tion of the tidings comes, saying: “we have had another defeat," it demoralizes all the host. But if the news comes of victory today and victory tomorrow. the whole army is impassioned for the contest. Now, in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, report feWer defeats; tell us the victories. Victory over sin and death and hell. Rejoice evermore, and again I say rejoice. I believe there is more religion in a laugh than in a groan. Anybody can r groan, but to laugh in the midst of banishment and persecution and in- describable trialsâ€"that requires a David. a Daniel, a Paul, a modern David, a Daniel, 9. Paul, a moaern Heroine. The next laughter mentioned in the Bible that I shall speak of,is the tool's laughter, or the expression of merriment. Solomon was very quick at simile; when he makes a comparison we all catch it. What is the laughter of alool like? He says "it is the crackling of thorns under a pot." The kettle is swung. a bunch of brambles is put under it, and there is a great noise and a big blaze, and a sputter and a quick ex- tinguishment. Then it is darker than it was before. Fool’s laughter. The most miserable thing on earth is a bad man’s fun. When 1 was a lad, a book came out entitled “Dow Jr's Patent Sermons.” It made a great stir, a. very wide laugh all‘ over the country, that book did. It was a caricature of the Christian ministry and of the Word of God, [and of the day of judgment. Oh! we had a great laugh. The com- mentary on the whole thing is, that not long ago.‘ the author of that book died in poverty. shame, de- bauchery, kicked out of society and cursed of Almighty God. The laugh- ter of such men as he is the echo of their own damnation. The next laughter I shall mention as being in the Bible is the laugh of God's condemnation. “He that sit- teth in the heavens shall laugh.” Again: “The Lord will laugh at him." Again: “I will laugh at. his calamity.” With such demonstra- tion will God greet every kind of sin and wickedness. Badnuen build up villanies higher and higher. Good men almost pity God because he is so schemed against by men. Sud- denly a. pin drops out of the ma.- chinery of wicked men, or a secret is revealed, the foundation begins to rock. Finally the whole thing is deâ€" molished. What is the matter? I will tell you what the matter is. That crash of ruin is only the rever- beration of God’s laughter. There is a great difference between God’s laugh and his smile. His smile is eternal beatitude. He smiled when David sang. and Miriam clap- ped the cymbals, and Hannah ma'de garments for, her son, and Paul preached, and John kindled with apocalyptic vision, and When any man has anything to do and does it well. His smile! It is morning breaking on a rippling sea. It, is ‘heaven at high noon. all the bells ringing. But' his laughterâ€"may it never fall on us. It is a condemna- tion for our sin. It is a wasting away. We may let the satirist laugh at us, and all our companions laugh at us, and we be made the target for the merrimont of earth and hell; but God forbid that we should ever come to the fulfillment of the prophecy against the rejectors of the truth: “I will laugh at your calamity." The other laughter mentioned in the Bible, the only one I shall speak of, is Heaven's laughter, or the ex- pression of eternal triumph. Christ said to his disciples: “Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.” That makes me know posi- tively that we are not to spend our days in heaven singing long metre- songs. The formalistic and stiff no- tions of heaven that some people have would make me miserable. I lam glad to know that the heaven of Ithe Bible is not only a place of holy {Worship but of magnificent sociality. “'What," says you, “will the ringing ilaugh go around the circle of the saved?” I say yes; pure laughter. .holy laughter. It will be a laugh of congratulation. When we meet a friend who has suddenly come ‘to a jfortune, or who has got over some ldire sickness, do we not shake hands, {do we not laugh with him? And when we get to heaven and see our friends there, some of them having Icome up out of great tribulation, Iwhy we will say to one of them: i“the last time I saw you, you had ‘been sulTering for six weeks under a {low intermittent," or to another we {will say: “You for ten years Were ilimping with the rlwumalisz , and s.you were full of complaints when we [saw you last. I congratulate you -§on this eternal recovery." Ye shall illaugh. Yes, we shall congratulate Hall those who have come up out of ' great financial embarmssnwnts in 5.this world, because they have be- ”come millionaires in heaven. Ye ' lshall laugh. It will be a laugh of 3 areassociation. It is just as natural lior us to laugh when we meet Ia friend we have not seen for ten , years as anything is possible to be ‘ natural. When we meet our friends " from whom we have been parted ten, ' or twenty or thirty years, will it not '1 lbe with infinite congratulation? ()ur e 'perception quickened, our knowledge y improved, we will know each other 3 at a flash. We will have to talk 3 over all that has happened since we have been separated, the one that Le has been ten years in heaven telling -4 3_ 4k“ fan HI nua ucuu cu.

Oh! what a pleasant thing it will be to stand {on the Wall of heaven and look down at Satan, and hurl at him defiance, and see him caged and chained, and we forever free from his clutches. Aha! Aha! Yes, it will be a laugh of royal greeting.

A correspondent writes as follows: mercial fertilizers. Fertility can be kept up in this way, but a lack of humus will soon follow. Soil defici- ent in humus“ will dry out in dry weather, and a seeding of clover will be next to impossible. Do not flat- ‘ te'r yourselves with the idea. that you ‘ can keep up your fertility, on com- mercial manures alone. You must save and use all your farm manure. Spread the manure on the higher portions of the field. Save everything. Do not let a. thing so to waste, but put it on the land. It makes little difference when you put it on'. only see that it goes on. ' ' Plow under all the clover you can. Rye will do to plow under very well. Any green crop will answer.

Professor Phelps makes an elabor- ate computation on the fair market value of e-nsilage, from which he do: cidcs that it is 'worth about oneothird to onepfourth the price per ton of a good stock hay free from clover. He figures it: in this way: There are about 480 pounds of water-free or dry matter in a ton of ensilage, and 1,740 pounds in a ton of hay. but when the digestibility is calculated there are 336 pounds of food elements digest- iblo in the ton of silage, and about 1,000 pounds in the ton of hay. being near enough to call it one-third of the food value. \Ve do not always compute the value to the dairymazn by the nutritive value. The more succulent and easily digested silage, when given as a part of the food ration, will produce more milk than one-third of its weight in hay. Those who have tried it say that thirty pounds of ensilage aday with’ ten pounds of hay will give bet; '7 LL“ BUII ”V‘s-.." â€"â€" wâ€"J ter results than twenty pounds of hay.

The Chinese Plan For Superior to the fol-oops. Sen e Dentist. Dr. Charles E. Coughlin, of Indiana- polis. has discarded the forceps in pulling teeth, and has adopted the primitive rules of the Chinese by us- ing nothing except his thumb and in- dex finger for the purpose. He believes that the sight of the forceps consti- tutes the harrowing part of tooth pulling and that many nervous per- 'sons’ are almost as shocked at the sight of the instrument as they presented at their heads. He can take out the most firmly-rooted double tooth in a few seconds, and that with- out causing pain, comparatively speaking. __ - '1‘; 4L- #L-om“ 0nd UPC/£15115. “ It. in all done with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand,” he said, “ and does not require any great strength, for it is not performed by main force. "In pulling a tooth by hand. it is first worked around with a gentle motion. and there is absolutely no violent wrenching or tugging. In 0. surprisingly short time the largest and most firmly-rooted molar will show evidences of being loosened. The motion is then continued with an in- creased pressure outward from the pivot of the tooth, as it were, until iit seems actually to ° own accord. It is brought out with a final circular twiet, not more vio- . .
