Famine That Was Sore in All Lands The Comlltloa Imposed That Benja aain Shwul4 Oo Into Kgypt with His Rrethra Benjamin a Type of Christ. : Bnootu-TN. Aug. 30. The cabled reports ol meager, harvests in . Europe, and the memory of the vast crops of ripening grain which Dr. Talmage saw during his recent tour in the west, have combined to turn his thoughts Back to that patriarchal time when all the world sent to Egypt to buy corn and to suggest a Gospel lesson. His text is .Genesis .xliii, 3, "Ye shall not see tu y face, except your brother be with you.? - This summer, liaviug crossed eighteen of the United States north, south, east .and west I have to report 'the mightiest har vests that this conntry or any other coun try ever reaped. If the- grain gamblers do not somehow wreck these harvests we are abont to enter upon the grandest scene of prosperity that America has ever wit aessed. But while this is So in oar own conntry,- on the other side of the At lantic there are nations threatened with famine, and the most' dismal cry that is ever heard will, I fear, be uttered the cry for bread. I pray God that the contrast between our prosperity and their want may not lie as sharp as in the lands referred to by my text. There was nothing to eat. .; Plenty of corn gin Egypt, but ghastly, famine in Canaau. The cattle moaning in the stall. Men, women and children awfully white with hunger. Not the failing of one crop for one summer, but the failing of all the crops for seveu years. A nation dying for lack of that which is so common on your table and so little-appreciated; the prod uct of harvest field and grist mill and oven: the price of sweat and anxiety and struggle bread Jacob the father has the List report from the flour bin, and he finds that everything is out, and he says to his sons, "Boys, hook up the wagons and start for Egypt and get us something to eat." " The fact was there was a great corner ib in Egypt. The people of Egypt have been largely taxed in all ages, at the present time paying between 70 and 80 percent, of their products to the government.' No wouder in that time they had a large corn crib, and it was full. To that crib they came from the regions round about those wlio were famished some paying for corn in money; when the money was exhausted, paying for the corn in sheep and cattle and horses and camels, and when they were exhausted, then selling their own bodies and their families into slavery. . THE SORROW OF JACOB. The morning for starting out the crusade for bread has arrived. Jacob gets his family up very early. But before the elder sons start they say something that irmk.es him tremble with emotion from head to foot and burst into tears. The fact was that these elder sons had once before beea in Egypt to get corn, and they had been treated somewhat roughly, the lord of the corncrib supplying them with com, but saying at theclose of the interview, "Now, yon need not come back here for any more corn unless you .bring something better than money oven your younger brother Benjamin." Ahl Benjamin that very naine was sug gestive of all tenderness. - The mother had died at the birth of that son a spirit com ing and another spirit going and the very thought of parting with . Benjamin must have been a heart break. The keeper of this corncrib, nevertheless, says to these older sons, "There is no need of your com ing here auy more for corn unless you bring Benjamin, your father's darling." Now, Jacob and his family very much needed bread, but what a struggle it would be to give up this sou. The orientals are very demonstrative in their grief, and 1 hear the outwailing of the father as thesa older sous keep reiterating in his ears the announcement of the Egyptian lord, "Ye shall not ee my face unless your brother be with you." "Why did you tell them you hnd a brother?" said the old man, oniplainiug and chiding them... "Why, father." they ajil, "he asked us all about our family, ami we had no idea he would make any such demand upon ua as be has Biade." "No use of asking me," said the father, "I cannot, I will not, give up Ben jamin." The fact was that the old mau had lost children; mid when there has been bereave ment in a household, and a child taken, il; makes the other children in the household more precious. So the day for departure was adjourned aud adjourned and ad journed. Still the horrors of the famine increased, and louder moaned the cattle and wider open cracked the earth . and more pallid became the cheeks,, until Jacob, in despair, cried out to his sons, "Take Beujamiu and be off." The older sons tried to cheer -up their father. They aid: "We ha ve strong arms and a stou: heart, and no harm will -coma to Benjamin. We'll see that he gets back again." "Fare well!" said the young men to the father, in a tone of assumed good cheer. "F-a-r-e-w-e-1-1 !" said the old man, for that-word has more quavers in it when pronounced by the aged than by the young. Well, the bread party the bread embassy drives up in froutof the coracribof Egypt. These corncribs are tilled with wheat aud barley and corn in the husk, for those who have traveled in Canaan and Egypt know that there is corn there corresponding with onr Indian mains.- Huzxal the : journey is ended. The lord of the corncrib, who is also the prime minister, comes down to these arrived travelers, and says: "Dine with me today. How is your father? Is this Ben jamin, the younger In-other, whoso pre enca I demanded?" The travelers are in troduced into the palace. They are woru and bednsted of the way, and servants come in with a basin of water in one hand and a towel in the other, and kneel down before these newly arrived travelers, wash ing off the dust of the way. ' The batchers and poulterers and caterers of the prime minister prepare the repast. . , . The guests are seated iu small groups, two or three at a table, the food on a'tray; ail the luxuries from imperial garden and orchards and acqnariums and aviaries are brought there, and are filling chalice and platter. Now is the time for - this prime, minister if he has a grudge against Beuja-' mio to show it. Will he kill him, now that he has him in his hands? Ob, not This lord of the corncrib is seated at bis own table, and he looks over - to, the tajiln of his guests, and - he sends a ' portion to each of them, but sends a larger portion to Benjamin, or, as the Bible quaintly puts it, "Benjamin's "mess was five times so much as auy of theirs." ..Be .quick' and saud word Iwck with the swiftest camel to Canaan to old Jacob that "Benjamin is well; all is well; he is farlng-sumptuously. the Egyptian lord slid not moo murder and death; bat be meaut deliverance and life when ne announced to us on that day, Ye shall not ftes my face unless your broth r be with you. " . - . , Well, my friends,' this - world' is famine struck of sin.' 'IE 'does not yield a single crop of solid satisfaction. It is dying. .It Is hunger bitten. .The fact that it does not,'-can not, feed a man's heart was -well illustrated in the life of the English come dian. All the. world honored . him did everything for him that the world could do. ' He was applauded in England and ap plauded in the United States. He roused up nations into laughter. . He '., had ho equal. And yet, although, many people supposed him entirely happy, and that this world - was completely satiating his soul, he sits down and "writesr . "I never in my life put. on a new hat , that)! it did not rain : and .ruin' it., V 1. never !;went out in a shabby coat because .it was rain ing and thought all who had the choice would keep indoors that 'the sun did not. burst forth in its strength and bring out with it all the butterflies of fashion whom I knew and who knew me. I never consented to accept a part I hated, out of kindness to another, that I did not' get hissed by the. public and cut by the writer. I could not take a drive for a few minutes with Terry without being overturned and having my elbow bone broken, though my friend got off unharmed. I could'; not make a covenant with Arnold, which I thought was to . make my fortune without making his instead, than in an incredible space of time I think thirteen months I earned for him twenty thousand pounds and for myself one. I am persuaded that if I were to set up as a beggar, every one in my neighborhood would leave off eating bread." That was the lament of . the world's comedian and joker. All un happy. The world' did everything for Lord Byron that it could do, and yet in his last moment he asks a friend to come and bit; down by him and read, as most appro priate to his case, the story of "The Bleed ing Heart." Torrigiano, the sculptor, exe cuted, after months of care and carving, "Madonna and the Child." '. The royal family came in and admired it. Every body that looked at it was in ecstacy. ' But one day, after .-! that toil and all that ad miration, because he did not get as much compensation for his work as he had ex pected, he took a mallet and dashed the exquisite sculpture into atoms. The world is poor compensation, poor satisfaction, poor solace. Famine,' famine in all the earth; not for seven years, but for six thousand. . But, - blessed be God, there is a great corncrib. The Lord built it. -It is in another land. " It" is . a large place. An angel once measured it, and as far as I can calculate jt in our phrase . thai corncrib is fifteen .'hundred miles long and fifteen hundred brOad'and fifteen hundred high, and it is f nlL - Food for alienations. "Oh!" say the people, "we will start right away and get this supply for our soul.'" But stop a moment, for from the keeper of that corncrib there comes this word, saying, ''You shall not see my face except your brother be with you." In other words, there is nosuch thing as getting from heaven pardon and comfort and eternal life unless we bring with' us our Divine Brother, the Lord Jesus Christ. Coming without him we shall fall before we reach the corncrib, and our bodies shall be a portion for the jackals of the wilderness; but coming with the Divine Jesus, all the granaries of heaven will swing open before our soul and abundance shall be given us. We shall be invited to sit in the palace of the king and at the table; and while the Lord of heaven is 'apportioning from his own table to other tables, he will not forget us; and theu and there it will be found that our Benjamin's mess is larger than all the others, for so it ' ought to :' be. "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to re ceive - blessing aud riches and honor and glory and power." . ; SO ADMISSION WITHOUT CHRIST. '' 1 want to make three points. Every frank and common sense man will acknowl edge himself to be a sinner. What are you going to do with your sins? Have them pardoned, you say. . How? . Through the mercy of God: What do ' you mean by the mercy of God? Is it the letting down of 'a bar for the admission of all, without re spect to character? Be not deceived. I see a soul coming up to the gate of mercy and knocking at the corncrib of heavenly sup ply, and a voice from withiu says, "Are you alone?" The sinner replies, "All alone." . The voice from within says, "You shall not see ray pardoning face unless your Divine Brother, the. Lord Jesus, be with you." Oh, that is the point at which so many are discomforted. - There is no mercy from God : except through Jesus Christ. Coming with him we are accept, ed. Coming without him, we are rejected. Peter put it right in his great sermon before the high priests when he thundered forth: "Neither -is there salvation in any other. There is no other name given un der heaven among men whereby we may be saved" . O anxious sinner! O dying sinner! O lost sinner) all you have got to do is to have this divine: Benjamin along with ; yon. Side by side, coming to the gate, ' all: the' storehouses of heaven will swing open before your anxious soul. Am I right in calling Jesus Benjamin? Oh, yes! Rachel lived only long enough to give a name to that child, and with a dy ing kiss she called him Benoni. After ward Jacob changed bis name, and he called him Benjamin. The meaningof the name she gave was -"Son of my Pain." The meaning of the name the father gave was 'Son of My Right Hand." And was not Christ the Son of Pain? All the sor rows of Rachel in that hour,, when she gave her .child over into the bands of strangers was nothing compared with the 'straggle of God when he gave bp his only Son. The omnipotent God in a- birth throe! And was not Christ appropriate! v called "Son of the Right Hand?" Did not Stephen look into heaven and see him standing at the right hand of God? And does not Paul speak of him as standing at the right hand of God making intercession for us? O Benjamin Jesus! - Son of pang! Son of victory! The deepest -emotions of our souls ought to be stirred at the sound of that nomenclature. In your prayers plead his tears, his sufferings, his sorrows and his death. If, you refuse to do it all the corn cribs and the palaces of -heaven will be bolted and barred against your soul, and a-voice from the throne shall stun you with the. announcement, "You shall-not see my face except your brother bewith you."-! THk" WORLD'S STHPATHT Is W81K. My text also suggests the reason why so many people do not get any real comfort. You meet ten people; nine of them are in need of some kind of condolence. There i something in their health, or in their state, or in their domestic condition that de mands sympathy. , And; yet the most of the' world's sympathy amounts to -absolutely nothing. People go to the wrong crib or they go in the wrong way. When the plagna was in Rome a great many, years ago,: there were eighty men 'who chanted themselves to death with the lita nies r c ; regory the Great literally chanted the- . s to death, and yet it 'did not sUv 'j '' Ugue. And all the music of tbu wo . nut halt the plague of the human hej, . 1 cuuie to some one whose ailments are chronic,' and I say, "In heaven yon will never be sick." That does not give yon much comfort. "What you want is a sooth- ' ing power for your present distress: Lost children,' have, you? I come to you and tell you that In ten years perhaps you will meet those loved ones before the throne of God. ' But there is but little condolence in that. ' One 'day is a year without them, ten years is a Smalt eternity. - What you want is sympathy now present help.. - I come to those of you who have lost dear Iriends, and say: "Try to forget them. Do not keep the departed always in - your mind." ? How can you forget them when every figure iu the carpet and every book and every picture and every room calls out their name. ' .it Suppose I come to you and say by Way of condolence, "God is wise:" "Oh," you say, "that gives' me no help." Suppose I come to you and sky, "God, from all eter. nity, has arranged this trouble." "Ah!" you say, "that does me no good." ' Then I ay. "With the swift feet of prayer go di rect to thecorn crib for a heavenly supply." Yon go. You say, "Lord,, help me, Lord, comfort me." But no help yet. No com fort yet. It is all dark. What is the mat ter? ' I have found." You' ought togo to God and say:. "Here, O Lord,' 'are the wounds of-my sooi, and I bring with me the Wounded Jesus. " Let bis wounds pay for my wounds, his bereavements' for' my bereavements, his loneliness for my lone liness, his heartbreak for " my heartbreak. O God! for' the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ the God, the man, the Benjamin, the brother deliver my agonized " soul. O Jesus of the weary foot, ease my fatigue. O Jesus of the aching head, heal my aching head O Jesus of the Bethany sis ters, roll away the stone from the door of our grave." That is the kind of prayer that brings help; aud yet how many of you are getting, no help at all, for the reason that there is in your soul, perhaps, a secret trouble. You may never have mentioned it to a single human ear, on you tday1 have mentioned it to some one1 who is flow gone away, and that great sorrow is still in your soul. After Washington Irving Was dead they found a little . box 'that contained' a braid of hail" and a -miniature' and "the name of Matilda Hoff man. and a-' "memo randum of her death and a remark some thing like this: "The world after that was a blank to me. I went into the conntry, but found no peace in solitude. "'1 tried to' go into society, -but I found no peace in so ciety. There has been a horror ' hanging over me by night and by day, and I am afraid to be alone." , . '. FALSE AND FOOLISH PKOMISES. How many unuttered troubles! No hu man ear has ever heard the sorrow. ! Oh, troubled soul, I want to tell you that there is one salve that can cure the wounds of the heart, and that is the salve' made Out of the tears of a sympathetic Jesus. ; And yet some of you will not take this -solace: and you try chloral, and you try morphine, and you try strong drink, and you- try change of scene, and you try new business associations, and anything and everything rather than take the Divine companionship and sympathy suggested by the words of my text when it says, "You shall not see my face again unless your brother be With you." Oh, that you might understand some thing of the height and depth and length and breadth and immensity and infinity of God's eternal consolations. ; - . i go tanner, ana nna in mysuDject at -nint as to tne way Heaven opens to the de parting spirit. We are told that' heaven has twelve gates, and some people' infer from that fact that all the people will go in without reference to their past life; but what is the use of having a gate that is not sometimes to be ' shut? The swinging of a gate implies that our entrance into heaven is conditional. It is not a monetary con dition. If we come to the door of an ex quisite concert we are not surprised that we must pay a fee, for we know that fine earthly musv is expensive; but all the ora torios of heaven cost nothing. Heaven pays nothing for its music. It is all free. There is nothing to be paid at that door for entrance; but the condition of getting into heaven is our bringing our divine Benjamin along with us. Do you notice how often dyiug people call upon Jesus? It is the usual prayer, offered the prayer offered more than all the other prayers put together "Lord Jesus receive my spirit." One of our congregation, when asked in the closing moments of his life, "Do yon know us?" Baid: "Oh, yes, I know you. God bless yon. Good by. Lord Jesus, re ceive my spirit:" aud he was gone. Oh, yes, in the closing moments of our life we must have a Christ to call upon. If Jacob's sons had gone toward Egypt,' and ' had gone with the veryfinest equipage, and had not taken Benjamin along with them, and to the question they should have been obliged to answer: "Sir, we didn't bring him, as father could not let him go; we didn't want to be bothered with him," a voice from within would have said: "Go away from us. You shall not have any of this xupply. You shall not see my face because your brother is not with you." MAM'S EXTREMITY, GOD'S TIMK. : ' "' ' ' And if we come up toward the door of heaven at last, though we come from all luxuriance and br "iiaucy of surroundings, and knock for admittance and it is found that Christ hi- not with us, the police of heaven will, beat us back from the bread house, saying:'' "Depart, I never knew you." If Jacob's" sons, coming toward Egypt, had lost everything on the way; if they had expended : their last shekel; if they had come up utterly exhausted to the corncribs of Egypt, and it had been found that Beujamiu was with them, all the storehouse would have swung open be-1 tore tnera. And so, though by fatal casualty we may be ushered into the eternal world; though we may be weak and exhausted by pro tracted aicknes if, in that last, moment, we can" only just stagger 'and faint and fall into the gate of heaven It seems' that all the eo'rncrlhe ofl heaven ' wiU'opeti "for our need and all the palaces wHI open for our reception; and the Lord of that place, seated at bis table, and nil the angels' of God seated at their table, and the martyrs seated a their table, and all our glorified ktndred seated at Oar table, the kihgshall pas a portion from his tabid 'to ' tfiirs", and then, while we think of the fact that it waa Jesns who started as on the- road, and Jesus who' kept us on the way, and Jesus who at lost gamed admittance for our soul, we shall- be glad if be has seen of the trav ail of his soul and been satisfied, and not be at all jealdns if -it be found tun- our divine Benjamin's mess Is five time larger than all the rest. Hail! anointe-I of the Lord, thou art 'worthy: ' ' '.'--' '' : My friend, you .ee it it either Christ or famine If there were two lianqueta spread, 'and to one of Theni;oiily y.u might go, you might stand and think for good while as to which invitation you had better "accept; but. here' it is tainting or Starvation.

Oil. wil.i you live or die? Will you start for tiie Egyptian corncrib, or will you perish amid the empty barns of the Canaauitiu famine? "Ye shall not see my face except your brotUtr be with you." '" ADalle Slici and Her Hnsbandt.- -Tmuist' mention a- curious : resemblance between the "Wooing of Chanler and the strange relationship which existed between Barbara and Jock. While at Castle Hill. andwhileMr. Chanler was in New York awaiting ' the- decision of hifl fate,' Miss Rives did read in a newspaper a paragraph about an Archie Chandler being hurt in a runaway accident in the streets of New York. She did ride' several' miles across country, in' a pelting rainstorm, through mud and over ditches and fences, to get to a telegraph office and -place herself in com munication with Mr. Chanler.-- Thuv Inci dent was afterward worked in the story of Barbara and Jock.' It turned out to be a Chandler and not a Chanler who-was hurt, and the wild ride was in vainv-novnot iu vain, for it had its influence rn openingthe eyes of Miss Rives to the hold her affection for Mr. Chanler bad upon her heart, and it strengthened Chanter's courage, which had begun to droop, and led him' to think he might after all wis the prize which he was seeking. - A -month- or two later he re turned to Castle Hill, and before ' he - left this time Miss Rives had put her hand in his and let it rest there. Dynamite' Experiments. - . A departure in firing dynamite or other high explosives in a shell and from an or dinary gun has met with great success in Manchester, England: 'Mr.."" J. E" Bott is the Inventor. Instead of 'the cumbersome machinery necessary to furnish the com pressed air to drive thg projectile, Mr. Bott supplies a shell- containing' highly com pressed air in its rear portion.- The gun used is a breechloading smoothbore. '" ' "' "When the shell is entered,-the action of firing forces a pin inward at the base of the shell, thus tearing a hole in the retaining valve and liberating the ' compressed air. This; drives the shell from the : gun with wonderful force. It does not heat the gun, makes scarcely any noise, produces no smoke and has a great range, and the ab sence of fouling enables it to be used con tinuously.
