DENTIST. FOUNDRYIAN Ham Powers, fill orda'a for Learn first irom this subject, that becoming a Christian is merely going out to service. ]i you have any ro- mantic idea about becoming a Chris- tian. I Want this night to scatter the romance. 11‘ you enter into the kingdom of God. it will be going in- to plain. practical, honest. continu- ous. persistent Christian work. I know there are a great many people who have fantastic and romantic no- tions about this Christian life. but. he who serves God with all the en- ergies of body. mind. and soul, is a worthy servant, and he who does not is an unworthy servant. When the war trumpet sounds. all the Lord’s soldiers must march. however deep the snow may be. or however fearful the oilds against them. Under our Government. we may have Colonels and Captains and generals in time of peace. but in th Church of God there is no peace until the last great victory shall have been achieved. But 1 have to tell you it is Again. I learn from this parable‘ that different qmtlif‘cations are givâ€"l en to different people. The teacher! lifts a blackboard and he draws a, diagram. in order that by that dia- gram he may impress the mind of the pupil with the truth that he has been uttering. And all the truthsI of this Bible are drawn out in the! natural world as in a great diagram. Here is an acre of ground that has ten talents. Under a little culture, it yields twenty bushels of wheat to the acre. Here is another piece of ground that has only one talent. You may plough it and harrow it and cultivate it year after year, but it yields a mere pittance. So here is a man \â€".ith ten talents in the way of getting good and doing good. He soon. under Christian culture. yields great harvests of faith and good work. Here is another man who seems to have only one talent. 'and you may put upon him the greatest spiritual culture, but he yields but little of the fruits of righteousness. 'You are to understand that there are different qualifications for dill'er- ent individuals. There is a great deal of ruinous comparison when a man says: "Oh. if I only had that man's faith. or that man's money, or that man’s eloquence, how I would serve God 3" Better take the iaculty that God has giVen you, and employ it in the right way. The rabbis used to say. that before the stone and timber were brought to Jerusalem for the Temple every 'stone and piece of timber was mark- ed; so that before they started for Jerusalem. the architects knew in what place that particular piece of timber or stone should fit. And so I have to tell you we are all marked for some one place in the Great Temple of the Lord and do not let , us Complain. saying: "I would like , to be’the foundation stone. or the cap stone." Let us go into the very place where God intends us to be, . and be satisfied with the position. I Your talent may be in personal ap- ’ pearance; your talent may be in I large worldly estate: your talent may be-in high social position; , your talent may be in a swift pen or - eloquent tongue: but whatever be 3 the talent. it has been given only , for one purposeâ€" A VOLU NTA RY SERVICE. There is no drudgery in it. In our worldly callings sometimes our nerves get worn out. and our head aches, and our physical faculties break down: but in this service of the Lord Jesus, the harder it man Works the better he likes it. and a. man in this audience, who has been serving God for forty years, enjoys the. employment better than when he first entered it. The grandest honor that can ever he bestowed upon you. is to huvv Christ say to you on the lust day. “Well done. good and faith- ful servant !" ment to make final settlement. The raising of some of these men to be rulers over live or two cities is the exultatioii by the righteous at, the last. day. While the casting out of the idler is the expulsion of all those who have misimproved their privileges. 'l‘hc servants spoken of in the text are members of the Church. The talents are our different. qualifica- tions of usefulnvss; given in different proportions to different, people. The coming back of the (mum is the Lord Jesus returning at the judg- Many of the parables of Jesus Christ were more graphic in the times in which lie lived than they are now, beacuse circumstances have so much changed. In olden times. when a man wanted to wreak a grudge upon his neighbour, after the farmer had scattered his seed wheat over the field and was expecting the harvest, his avenger would go across the same field with a sack full of darnel grass, scattering that seed all over the field. and of course it Wnllld sprout up and spoil the whole ”up; and it was to that Christ re- ferred in the parable when he spoke of the tares being sown among the Wheat. “And unto one he gave five talents to another two. and to another one; to every man accarding to his sever- al ability."â€"â€"St. Matthew, xxv. 14, A dcspatch lrom Washington says: Rev. Dr. Talmage preached {tom the following text: “For the Kingdom of Heaven is as a man travelling into a far country. who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods. REWARD FOR THE PAITHFUL How it is Possible for Us to Accumu- laté an Eternal Fortune. You sometimes find a man in the community to whom you say, “ He has no talent at all ;" and yet that man may have a hundred talents. His one hundred talents may be shown in the item of endurance. Poverty comes, and he endures it; persecution comes. and he endures it; sickness comes, and he endures it. Belore men and angels he is a speci- men 0! Christian patience, and he )8 really illustrating the power of Christ's Gospel. and is doing as PRACTICAL USE â€"â€"v vâ€"-v‘ I Again. 1 learn from the text that 'inferiority of gifts is no excuse for indolence. This man, With the lsmallest amount of money. came lgrowling into the presence 0f the lowner of the estate. as much as to say, "If you .had given me seven ’thousand dollars 1 WOUId have brought fourteen thousand dollars as Ewell as this other man. You gave line only fifteen hundred dollars, and I hardly thought it was worth while to use it all. So I hid it in a nap- kin, and it produced no result. It's because. you didn’t give me enough." But inferiority of faculties is no ex- cuse for indolence. Let me say to the man who has the least qualifica- tions, by the grace of God he may be made almost omnipotent. The merchant, whose cargoes come out from every island of the sea, and who. by one stroke of the pen can change the whole face of American commerce, has not so much power as you may have before God, in ear- nest. faithful, and continuous pray~j er. You say you have no faculty. Yes, the men with‘one talent are to save the world, or it will never be saved at all. The men with five or ten talents are tempted to toil chief- ly for themselves, to build up their own great name, and work for their own aggrandizement, and do nothing for the alleviation of the world’s woes. The cedar of Lebanon. stand- ing on the mountain, seems to hand down the storms out of the heavens to the earth. but it bears no fruit; while some dwarf pear tree has more fruit on its branches than it can Carry. Better to have one talent and put it to full use, than five hundred wickedly neglected. Again. My subject teaches me that there is going to come a day of, SULEM N‘ s l~‘."l"l‘LICM EN 'r. The day will come when the Lord Jesus Christ will appear, and will say to you, “What have you been doing with My property? What have .you been doing with My faculties? What have you been doing with what I gave you for accumulative purposw es?" There will be no escape from that settlement. 1 have sometimes been amazed to see how an accoun- tant will run up and down a long line of figures. If I see ten or fifteen figures in a line and I attempt to add them up, and I add them up two or three times, I make them dill'erent each time. But I have admired the i 4 l l l I i l l A way an accountant will take a long line of figures, and without a single mistake. and with great celerity, announce the aggregate. Now, in the last great settlement, there will be a correct account presented. God has kept a long line of sins, a long line of broken Sabbaths, a long line of profane Words. a long line of dis- carded sacraments. a long line of misimproved privileges. They will all be added up, and before angels, and devils, and men. the aggregate will be announced. Oh, that will be the great day of settlement. I have to ask the question, ”Am I ready for it?" It is of more importance to me to answer that question in re- gard to myself than in regard to you; and it is of more importance for you to answer it in regard to yourself than in regard to me. Every man for himself in that day. Every woman for herself in that day. "If thou be wise thou shalt be wise for thyself; if thou scornest thou alone shalt bear it." We are apt to speak of the last day as an occasion of vociferationâ€"a demonstration of power and pomp; but there will be on that day. I think. a few moments of entire silence. I think a tremen- dons, an overwhelming silence. I think it will be such a silence as the earth never heard. It will be at the moment when all nation‘ are listen- ing for their doom. “Come ye blessed!" It shall thrill with new joy through the ranks of the saved. ”Depart ye cursed!" It will throw additional darkness into the aban- donment of the lost. much for the Church, and more for the Church, ‘ than many more positively active. If you have one talent, use that; if you have ten talents use them, satisfied with the fact that we all have different uualilicatlons and that the Lord de- cides whvther we shall have one or “nether we shall have ten. Lastly. I learn from this parable of the text, that our degrees of hap- piness in heaven will be graduated according to our degrees 0! USE 1' ULNICSS ON E ARTII. Several of the commentators agree in making this parable the same as the one in Luke, where one man was made ruler over five cities, and an- other made ruler over two cities. Would it be lair and right that the Professed Christian man who has lived very near the line between the world and the Churchâ€"the man who has often compromised his Christian characterâ€"the man who has never spoken out for Godâ€"the man who has never been known as a Christian only on communion daysnthe man whose great struggle has been to see. how m'uch of the world he could get and yet win heavenâ€"is it right to suppose that that man will have as grand and glorious a seat in heaven as the man who gave all his energies ;of body, mind and soul to the ser- lvice of God? The (lying thief enter- led heaven; but not with the same. startling acclaim as that which greeted Paul, who had gone under scorchings and across dungeons and through maltreatments into the kingdom of glory.

Esquimalt on the Pacific coast was fortified too. and a garri- son established there. This awaken- ing to the tactical value of these two widely distant points in the Canadian Dominion has aroused much interest on both sides of the border. but no explanation of it has been vouchsafed other than the gen- eral one of the increasing importance of (‘anada as an integral part of the British lilnipire. The active beginning of construe-i tion work has renewed public curios- ity as to the details of the plan for the new fortification. ~but as usual the authorities are reticent. and on- ly a general outline of what is to be done has been made public so far. But now some additional particulars have been ascertained in an unoffi- cial Way and these serve to heighteni the interest in the great project. The site selected is three miles West of Herring Cove on the neck of land that runs out on the west side of the harbor into the Atlantic ocean and terminates in Cape Sambro. LOCATION OI" THE FORT. It was at first proposed to build the fort on the shore and have it rise sheer above the sea after Um fashion formerly adopted by most European countries. but this sug- gestion has been put aside and the fort will be located a short distanes inland and will be hewn out of the solid rock. The imperial authorities selected a. large granite elili which has a hollow in the centre. The main part of the fort will be located in this hollow with works to be con- structed of cement, giving the ap- pearance of a solid clill.

Some of the Simple and Harmless But Effective Remedies. Too much blood in the brain is a frequent cause of headache. I’ains are felt all over the head. the face becomes flushed, the temples throh and strong light or noise cuusms exâ€" cruciating pain. In cases of this kind the sun'erer should be careful in diet and should not eat meat oftener than once a day. In Tonkin, Inca-China, there is a timber mine in good working order. In a. sand - formation at .a. depth of from fourteer to twenty feet. a. deposit of trunks of trees has been found. and from this deposit the people dig tim- ber. It is procured in good condi- tion, and is used for making coffins and troughs, and for carving. The trunks are many of them three feet in diameter and forty-{We feet long. being apparently the remains of fir trees which were buried thousands of years ago by an earthquake. There is an extensive forest in this sand formation. and the timber, although it has been buried so long. is not in the form of coal. This somewhat strange fact is accounted for by the peculiarly resinous characte wood and the sandiness of the soil. Access to the mines is obtained by gangways. _._ Too little blood in the brain is an- other cause of headache. it is rec- ognized by dizziness. noises in the ears and pains on top of the head. The best stimulant is a cup of strong tea. or coliee or a bowl of soup. People who sufler with these headaches should sleep with their heads low. .4 ALA IIVWu.a .w A neuralgic headache is often the result of cold caught in a haul teeth, which affects the nerves of the face and is accompanied by pains across the forehead or on the back of the head. A mustard leaf placed on the nape of the neck will relieve it. An- other remedy which is sometimes ef- fective is a piece of brown paper soaked in vinegar and applied to the painful spot. CURES FOR HEADACHES. DIGGING FOR TIMBER. It should not be inferred from this that tuberculosis, as a. disease has been transmitted to the human fam- ily with such deadly cll’cct, but in a good many well authenticated cases. and especially in those whore the udder is un'octcd. the cow has been DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the destruction of many human beings. It is important that more attention should be paid to ques- tions concerning the health of dairy cattle, especially as tuberculosis is readily transmitted to infants who are often fed on cow’s milk of doubt- ful quality. The sanitary production of milk commences with healthy cows. This would seem to be a natural inter- ence, and still it is surprising how little attention is given by even the more intelligent of our people to their dairy cattle. This may be ex- plained by the fact that an animal may be allected by several serious maladies, whose presence cannot readily be detected by mere external examination. It is doubtless true. however, that very little thought has ever been given to this subject. and it has rarely OCClll‘l‘Pd to many people that the mill; often of un- healthy animals could be vitiated by the forms of disease that might be present in the system. As a matter of fact. tuberculosis often conceals itself in an apparently healthy ani- mal, and is credited with producing one death in every seven. If greater care “”08 exercised in the washing and proper cleansing of dairy utensils. a frequent. source of bad milk would be desu‘oyod. In LII. Food plays an important part in the production of milk. This would naturally be so, and still it is per- fectly amazing to see the forms of moldy, musty hay. spoiled cnsilngc. and weevil-catch meal fed to dairy cows by pooplc who should have better judgment. Many persons scam to have the impression that the cow has a constitution of iron and so long us she will continue to out such food, it is all right to food it. This system is cntiroly wrong, and the thoughtful dairynmn can no more aiiord to food his cows poor food than he could to use it on his own tabla. Even granting: lu- is too dishonorable to nppl‘m'inlo the rights of others, he cannot follow the mothml without incurring ll? There is no excuse for such a con- dition as this. Stables can be ens- ily cleaned. and disinfectants are re- markably cheap. The use of lime alone would ellect wonders under such circumstances, and at [H‘alCilCtli- ly no cost. At least suflicient win- dows can be put in to let in sun- shine, nature's most powerful disin- fectant and destroyer of germ life.
