It Was Preeedad by the Baptism by the
Doctor of a Number of Infants with
Water Brought from tlie River Jor
dan BROOKLYN, May 10. An interesting cere
mony was performed this morning in the
Brooklyn tabernacle before the sermon was
preached. A number of infants who bad
power felt like that wben Saul was nn- j
horsed on the road to Damascus, like as 1
when Lydia's heart was broken in her fine !
store, like as wben three thousand souls '
were lifted out of midnight into midnoou -at
the Pentecost. Do you notice that some- .
times that Spirit takes an insignificant :
agency to save a soul? I think it is very
often that at just one passage of Scripture, 1
just one word of Scripture, a soul is saved
because the Holy Spirit gives it supernal- .
ural power.
Do you know what it was that saved :
Martin. Luther? . It was that one verse, '
"The just shall live by faith." Do you :
know what it was that brought Augustine 1
from his horrible dissipations? It was
It Is Only a Cabbage Louse.
San Feanxisco, May 25. A considera
ble alarm has been felt by hop growers
along the Sacramento river, due to the
presence of an aphis on the top vines,
supposed to be the English hop aphis

been examined by Mr. Craw, entomolo
gist, who reports that they are not
phorodon hnmili but belong to the
family aphis loassical, commonly called
cabbage louse.
Babv is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moiues teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
lv without cause, when he inauired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold"? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed tnat tne pet ot tne tamiiy,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course "it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by s cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there

two livery stables, two real estate offices, '

A very lively little weekly full of bright i
sayings and local happenings is pub- j
lished by Mr. J. H. Cradlebaugh and
facetiously but inappropriately called j
the Glacier. There is a fine graded
school in the town and six common
schools in the valley. The population of
the valley is estimated at 1400 souls. A
large number of persons from Portland
and other places own property in the
valley or have summer residences there.
Cloud Cap Inn, at the base of Mount
Hood, away up in the region of eternal
snow and a favorite resort for summer
tourists, is less than a day's journey from
the town. There is no better trout
fishing anywhere than can be found at
a reasonable distance. It is never very

The doors of the great banqueting hall
were opened. Tbe queen marched in to
the sound of the trumpets. Four hundred
servants waited upon the guests. It was a
scene that astonished all nations when
they beard of it. Five thousand dollars a
day did tbe banquet cost as it went on day
after day. She was greeted to the palace
gates with floating islands and torches and
the thunders of cannon and fireworks that
set the night ablaze, and a burst of music
that lifted the whole scene into enchant
ment. Beginning in that way, it went on
from joy to joy and from excitement to ex

That was the great banquet that Lard

Cardinal Wolsey entertained the French
ambassadors in Hampton Court. The best
cooks of all the land provided for the table.
The guests were kept hunting in the parks
all the day, so that their appetites might be
keen, and then in the evening hour they
were shown into the banqueting hall,
with table ag litter with imperial plate and
ablush with the very costliest wines, and
the second course of the feast was made
of food in all shapes, of men and birds and
beasts, and dancing groups, and jousting
parties nding upon each other with up
lifted lances. Lords and princes and am

drank first to tbe health of the king of

The commissioner of the general land
office has notified registers and receivers
that his construction of the new land
law is that no one who already owns
160 acres of land in this country can get
any more under the provisions of the
homestead act. AMortan.
Tbe Attorian is mistaken. An enquiry
at The Dalles land office elicits the fact
that no such orders have been received
here. Nor could there be for the statute
is sufficiently plain, on the subject. As
the law stands no man owning "more
than 160 acres of land in any state or
territory" can make a homestead entry,
and a homestead applicant must make
an affidavit to that effect at the time of
making his application.

The evening session also proved most

pencil used by angel in describing a vic

supernatural energy, and with enci
dipped in everlasting morning, I will write
it out in capitals of love, J-E-S-U-S Jesus!
It is this One that is waiting for yon and
for me, for we are on tbe same platform
before God. - How long be waited for me!
How long he has waited for you! Waiting
as a banqueter waits for his delayed guests,
the meat smoking, and the beakers brim

stiff string ready to strike at the first clah
of the hoof s at t he gateway. Waiting as a
mother waits for a boy that ten years ago
went on dragging tier bleeding heart after
him. Waiting. Oil. can you not give me
some comparison intense enough, importu
nate enough, high a heaven, deep as hell
and vaxt as eternity? Not expecting that
you can help me with sticb a coniparixon, J
simply say be i wsiting a only an aii

dogs eat of tbe crumbs that fall from the
master's table." Philosophic sermons
never saved anybody. Metaphysical ser
mons never saved anybody. An earnest
plea going right out of the heart blessed
of the Holy Ghost, that is what saves, that
is what brings people into the kingdom of
Christ
I suppose the world thought that Thom
as Chalmers preached great sermons in his
early ministry, but Thomas Chalmers says
he never preached at all until years after
he had occupied a pulpit he came out of
his sick room, and, weak and emaciated,
he stood and told the story of Christ to
the people. And in the great day of eter
nity it will be found that not so much the
eloquent sermons brought meu to Christ
as the story told perhaps by those who
were unknown on earth, the simple story
of the Saviour's love and mercy, sent by
tbe power of tbe Holy Ghost straight to '
the heart. Come, Holy Ghost. Ay, he is
here this morning. Ha fills all the place. !
I tell you the Holy Gbost is ready.
THE CHURCH IS WAITING.
Then I go on and tell you the church is ;
ready. There are those here who say, "No :
one cares for my soul." We do care for it. j
You see a man bowing his head in prayer.
and you say, "That man is indifferent."
That man bows his head in prayer that the '
truth may go to every heart. The air is j
full of pi ay era. They are going up this;
morning from this assembly. Hundreds I
of prayers straight to the throne of a listen- j
ing God. The air is full of prayers pray
ers ascending noon by noon from Fulton
street prayer meeting, Friday night by !
. Friday night all over this land, going up j
from praying circles. 'Yea, there is not a
minute of an hour of any day that there are
not supplications ascending to the throne
of mercy. The church .is. ready. And if
you should this morning start for your
lather's house there would be hundreds
and thousands in Tuis assemblage who
would say if they knew it, "Make room
for that man, make room for him at the
holy sacrament; bring the silver bowl for
his baptism; givehlm full right to all the
privileges of the church of Jesus Christ."
Oh, I know there are those who say the
church is a mass of hypocrites, but they do
not really think so. It is a glorious church.
Christ purchased it. Christ built it. Christ
swung all its gates. Christ curtained it
with upholstery, crimson with crucifixion
carnage. Come into it. Come into it. I
do not pick out this man or that man and
say, "You may come." I say all may come
whosoever will. "Come with ns and we
will do you good. The Lord hath prom
ised good concerning Israel."
We are a garden walled around.
Chosen find made peculiar ground, -A
little plot inclosed by grace
Out of the world's wild wilderness.
' COME! COME!
Do not say you have never been invited.
I invite you now to the King's feast. One
and all. All! Alll But I go further and
tell you that the angels are ready. Some
people think when we speak about angels
we are getting into tbe region of fancy,
They say it is very well for a man when he
has just entered the ministry to preach
about the angels in heaven, but after he
has gone on further it is hardly worth
while. My friends, there is not cy more
evidence in the Bible that there is a God
than that there are angels. Did they not
swarm around Jacob's ladder? When
Lazarus' soul went up did they not escort
it? Did not David say, "The chariots of
God are twenty thousand, even thousands
of angels?" ' Are they not represented as
the chief harvesters of tne judgment day?
Did not one angel in one night slay 180,000
of Sennacherib's troops?
Oh, yes, our world is in communication
witb two other worlds. All that commu
nication is by angels. When a bad man is
to die, a man who has despised God and re
jected the Gospel, the bad spirits come on
sulphurous wing and they shackle him,
and try to push him off the precipices into
the ruin, and they lift a guffaw of diaboli
cal exultation. But there is a line of angels,
bright and beautiful and loving angels,
mighty angels, reaching all the way from
earth to heaven, and when others gather
like them I suppose the air is full of them.
They hover. They flit about. They push
down iniquity from your heart. They are
ready to rejoice.
Look! There is an angel from the throne
of God. One moment ago it stood before
Christ and heard tbe doxology of the re
deemed. It is here now. Bright immortal,
what news from the golden city? Speak,
spirit blest. The answer comes melting on
the air, "Come, come, for all things are
now ready." Angels ready to bear tbe tid
ings. Angels ready to drop the benedic
tion. Angels ready to kindle the joy. All
ready. Ready, cherubim and seraphim.
Ready, thrones and principalities nd pow
ers. Ready, Michael the archangel
NO SYMPATHY WITH MODKRSf SPIRITUAL
ISM. Yes, I go further and say that your glo
rified kindred are ready. I have not any
sympathy with modern spiritualism. I
believe it is born in perdition. When I see
the ravages it makes with human intel
lects, when I see the homes it has devas
tated, when I see the bad morals that very
often follow in its wake, I have no faith in
modern spiritualism. I think if John Mil-'
ton and George White field have not any
thing better to do than to crawl under
Rochester tables and rattle the leaves, they
bad better stay home in glory. But the
Bible distinctly teaches that the glorified I
In heaven are in sympathy witb our re- j
demption.
"There is joy in heaven among the angels j
of God over one sinner that repenteth;" ,
and if the angels hear it do not our depart-':
ed kindred there bear it? There are those
there who toiled tor your salvation, and
years to win from thee one word of grati
tude? Come, all tbe young. Christ is the
fairest of the fair. Wait not till thy heart
gets hard. Come, the farthest away from
Christ. Drunkard, Christ can put out the
fire of that thirst. He can restore thy broken
home. He can break that shackle. Come
now, today, and get his pardon and its
strength. Libertine, Christ knew where
you were last night. He knows all the
story of thy sin. Come to him this day.
He will wash away thy sin, and he will
throw around thee the robe of his pardon.
Harlot, thy feet foul with hell, thy laugh
ter the horror of the street O Mary Mag
dalen! Christ waits for thee.
And the one farther off, farther than I
have mentioned, a case not so hopeful as any
I have mentioned, self righteous man, feel
ing thyself nil right, having no need of
Christ, no need of pardon, no need of help
Oself righteous man! dost thou think
in those rags thou canst enter the feast?
Thou canst not. God's servant at the gate

A New Use ior tde Heater.
I once spent a winter with a family wbers
he mother and the daughters performed
most of the household service, only calling
In a woman on wash days and for extra
work.
They were tn moderately comfortable cir
cumstances, and considering their habits
and their income, should never have been
greatly worried about money matters. But
the daughters were always in debt, and the
mother, who was a widow, was in a per
petual worry about bills. The allowances
were always spent before they were re
ceived, and the aggregate indebtedness was
far more than the sum provided, so that
the surplus debt accumulated rapidly. It
was a puzzle to Me for some time how they
managed to get into sucb corners. They :
bought continually and bought good !
things, but never seemed to have anything
fit to wear except their most recent pur
chases. What became of the many articles
which were brought into the house I could
never imagine, until one day I overheard
a conversation that let" light in upon the
subject.
One of the daughters bad been caught In
a rainstorm tbe night before, and her dress
was soaked, mud splashed and torn. She
had taken it off hurriedly, dropped It on
the floor in one corner of the room and for
gotten it, she said, and it was one mass of
wrinkles and creases. She gave it a few
dashes witb the whisk broom, then in dis
gust declared that it was no good and that
she would throw it into the heater. Suit
ing the act ion to the word, she bundled up
the dress, took it to the cellar and a mo
ment later nothing remained of it but
ashes. A few days later an out of season
hat and some ill fitting but expensive shoes,
only half worn, went the same way.
Wben articles were inquired for some ex
cuse was made for their non-appearance,
and as time went on they were forgotten.
The mother was a happy-go-lucky sort of
person, who was to an extent ruled by her
daughters, and they silenced her remon
strances whenever she ventured, and by
declaring that the things were perfectly
useless, and why not have them out of the
way?
Articles of furniture requiring only a
moment's repairs were broken up for
kindling, tins with a speck of a hole in
were given to the ashman, and everything
and anything the puttingin order of which
took time or pains were disposed of in the
same way. But it was into the capacious
jaws of the heater that the goods and chat
tels of that family went, and wastefulness
and extravagance took on a new meaning
to me after that winter's experience with
the heater as a consuming element. New

But, oh, tbe pathos wben that hand was j

Now, suppose you should pass into tbe i

you should say: "I'm done with the sins
of this world.- Fie upon all these follies.
O Christ! I take thee now, I take thy
service, I respond to thy love, thine am I
forever." Why. before the tear of repent
ance had dried on your cheek, before your
first prayer bad closed, tbe angel standing
with the message for thy soul would cry
upward, "He is coming!" and angels pois
ing midair would cry upward, "He is com

way to doorway, from wing tip to wing
tip, the. news would go upward till it
reached the gate, and then it would flash-
to the house of many mansions and find
your kindred ont, and those before tbe
throne would say: "Rejoice with me, my
prayers are answered. Give me another
harp with which to strike the joy. Saved,
saved, saved!"

England's Real Estate Lou.
A mistake which cost the British govern
ment about as much territory as there is in
the state of Rhode Island has come to
light. Tbe error consists of the fact that
the iron monuments at Blaine, and for
many miles east of there, are 360 yards
north of the forty-ninth parallel, which
should be the next boundary line.
Ensign Edward Moale, Jr., of the United
States navy, and connected with the United
States coast survey, tells the story. Three
years ago Ensign Moale was on the United
States surveying schooner which was op
erating in the vicinity of Blaine. The au
thorities at Washington sent out charts
containing the latitude and longitude.
which' are filled in witb the result of the
surveys.
Attached to the schooner was Assistant
S. S. Gilbert, who bad charge of the party
working on shore. He sent in a platted re
sult of his work, which was filled into
maps received from headquarters at Wash
ington. When Gilbert's charts were plat
ted in these maps it was found that the
boundary monuments at Blaine, and for a
distance east thereof, were 360 yards to the
north of the forty-ninth parallel.
"At first we thought we were mistaken,"
said Ensign Moale, "and carefully went
over the work time and again, only to
verify the fact that the boundary monu
ments were further north than they should
be."
"How did the mistake occur?"
"I suppose wben the boundary line sur
vey was made in 1So3 under the direction
of tbe joint American and English com
mission that a slight error was made by
tbe surveyors in northern Montana or the
Rocky mountains. This was trifling at
tbe start, but kept widening out until Hi
covers 360 yards wide at the Straits of
Georgia."
"Can tbe British demand the territory
back?
"No, they cannot, because tbe boundary
line between the United States and Can
ada is fixed by these monuments, which
are of iron and are placed every mile from
the Lake of tbe Woods to tbe straits of
Georgia. From the Lake of the Woods to
the Atlantic the boundary line is fixed by
tbe lakes and rivers. This fact has never
beeen officially reported to Washington.
