T. i)eHttt Tei maie's New Year's Sermon. Rev. Dr. Talmage Sunday morning appropriately took for the subject of his New Year's day sermon "The Chronol ogy of the Bible, or God Among the Centuries." The text chosen was Deuteronomy zxxii, 7. "Coisider the years of many generations." At 12 o'clock last night, while so many good people were watching, an old friend passed out of our homes and a stranger entered. The old friend making valedictory was 1892; the stranger arriving is 1898. The old friend was garrulous with the occur rences of many days, but the stranger put his finger over his lip and said noth ing and seemed charged with many secrets and mysteries. I did not see either the departure or the arrival, but was sound asleep, thinking that was for me the best way to be wide awake now. Good-by, 1892! Welcome, 18981 As an army is divided into brigades and regiments and companies, and they observe this order in their march and their tread is majestic, so the time of the world's existence is divided into an army divinely commanded; the eras are the brigades, the centuries are the regi ments, and the years are thecompanies. Forward into the eternity past, out of the eternity to come! Forward is the command, and nothing can halt them, even though the world should die. While obeying my text, "Consider the years of many generations," I propose to speak of the "Chronology of the Bible, or Gced Among the Centuries." We make a distinction between time and eternity, but time is only a piece of eternity, and chronology has been en gaged in the divine work of dividing up this portion of eternity that we call time into compartments and putting events in their right compartment. It is as much an injustice against the past to wrongly arrange its events as it would be an injustice if, through neglect of chronological accuracy, it should in the far distant future be said that America was discovered in 1776, and the declara tion of independence was signed in 1499, and Washington born ton the 22d of March, and the civil war of the United States was fought in 1840. As God puts all the events of time in the right place, let us be careful that we do not put them in the wrong place. The chronology of the Bible takes six steps, but they are steps so long it makes us hold our breath as we watch the movement. From Adam to Abraham. From Abraham to the exodus out of Egypt. From the exodus to the foundation Solomon's temple. From the foundation of Solomon's temple to the destruction of that temple. From the destruction of the temple to the return from Babylonish captivity. From Babylonish captivity to the birth of Christ. Chronology takes pen and pencil, and calling astronomy and history to help says: "Let us fix one event from which to calculate everything. Let it be a star, the Bethlehem star, the Christmas star." And from that we go back and see the world was created 4,004 years before Christ; the deluge came 2,848 years before Christ; the exodus out of Egypt occurred 1,.:11 years before Christ, and Solomon's temple was destroyed 586 years before Christ. Chronology enters the first chapter of Genesis and says the day mentioned there is not a day of twenty-four hours, but of ages, the word there translated as "day" in other places meaning ages, and so the Bible account of the crea ation and the geologists' account of the creation are completely harmonious Chronology enters the book of Daniel and says that the words "time and a half" mean a year and a half. Chronology enters at another point and shows us that the seasons of the year were then only two-summer and winter. We find that the Bible year was 360 days instead of 385; that the day was calculated from 6 o'clock in the morn!ng to 6 o'clock at night; that the night was divided into four watches namely, the late watch, the midnight, the cock crowing the early watch. The clock and watch were invented so long after the world began their mission that the day was not very sharply di vided in Bible times. Ahaz had a sun dial, or a flight of stairs with a column at the top, and the shadow which that column threw on the steps beneath in dicated the hour, the shadow lengthen ing or withdrawing from step to step. But the events of life and the events of the world moved so slowly for the most part in Bible times that they had' no need of such time pieces as we stand on our mantels or carry in our pockets in an age when a man may have a half dozen or a dozen engagements for one day and needs to know the exact minute for each one of them. The earth itself in Bible times was the chief time piece, and it turned once on its axis and that was a day, and once around the sun and that was a year. It was not until the Fourteenth een tury that the almanac was born, the almanac that we toss carelessly about, not realizing that it took the accumu lated ingenuity of more than 5,000 years to make one. Chronology had to bring into its service the monuments of Egypt, and the cylinders of Assyria, and the bricks of Babylon, and the pot tery of Nineveh, and the medals struck at Antioch for the battle of Actium, and all the hieroglyphics that could be deciphered, and had to go into the ex tremely delicate business of asking the ages of Adam and Seth hbd Enoch and Methurselah, who after their 800th year wanted to be thought young. I think it must have been in reeogni tion of the stupendous work of making an almanac that all the days of the week are named after the goda Sunday, after the sun, which was of old wor shiped as a god. Monday, after the moon, which was also worshiped as a god. Tuesday, after Tuesco, the god of war. Wednesday, after Woden, the chief god of the Scndinavians Thbr day, after Thor, the god of thunder. Friday, after Frea, the goddes of marriage. And Satnrday, after aturn. The old Bible year began with the 25Sth qd March. Not until 175s did the first of the month of January get the bo-er in legal documents in England of being balled the first day of the year. Improvemaents all aklng have besn made in chronology uratil the ealea4sa', and the almanac, nd the etoek, said th watch seem to have reached perfeetio, and all the nationM of Chrbistandom bare asuarlity qf time ealeuoltlCosa ashr adopted what is called aew style," en qept Ruia, which keeps what is called the 'ld1tylt" ead is tweve ays di ti fereat so that wafting tfb n thers, if 4 yea wish to be asourate, you date your letter January 1 and January 18, or e- 1 cember 10 and December i2. It is some thing to thank God for that the modes are so complete for calculating the < cycles, the centuries, the decades, the years, the months, the days, the hours, the seconds. Think of making appointments as in the Bible days for the time of the new moon. Think of making one of the watches of the night in Bible times a rooster crowing. The Bible says, "Be fore the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice." "If the Master cometh at the cockerowing," and that was the way the midnight watch was indicated. The crowing of that barnyard bird has always been most uncertain. The crow ing is at the lowest temperature of the night, and the amount of dew and the direction of tlwind may bring the lovwest temper re at 11 o'clock at night or 2 o'clock in the morning, and at any one of six hours lust before a rain the crowing of chanticleer in the night is almost perpetual Compare these modes of marking time with our modes of marking time, when 12 o'clock is 12 o'clock, and 6 o'clock is 8 o'clock, and 10 o'clock is 10 o'clock, and independent of all weath ers, and then thank God that you live now. But notwithstanding all the im perfect modes of marking hours or years or centuries Bible chronology never trips up, never falters, never contradicts itself, and here is one of the best argu ments for the authenticity of the Scrip tures. If you can prove an alibi in the courts, and you can prove beyond doubt that you were in some particular place at the time you were charged with do ing or saying something in quite an other place, you gain the victory, and infidelity has tried to prove an alibi by contending that events and circum stances in the Bible ascribed to certain times must have taken place at some other time, if they took place at all. But this book's -chlonology has never been caught at fault. It has been proved that when the Hebrews went into Egypt there were only seventy of them, and that when they came out there were 8,000,000 of them. "Now," says infidelity, with a guffaw that it can not suppress, "what an ab surdity! They went down into Egpyt seventy and came out 8,000,000. That is a falsehood on the face of it. Nations do not increase in that ratio." But, my skeptical friend, hold a moment. The Bible says the Jews were 430 years in Egypt, and that explains the increase from seventy persons to 8,000,000, for it is no more, but rather less than the or dinary increase of nations. The pilgrim fathers came to America in the May flower, one small shipload of pas sengers, less than 800 years ago, and now we have a nation of 60,000,000. Where, then is so-called impossibility that the seventy Jews who went into Egypt in 430 years became 3,000,000? Infidelity wrong and Bible chronology right Now stop and reflect Why is it that this sublime subject of Bible chronology, has been so neglected, and that the most of you have never given ten min utes to the consideration of it, and that this is the first sermon ever preached on this stupendous and overwhelming theme? We have stood by the half day or the whole day at grand reviews and seen armies pass. Again and again and again on the Champs Elysees Frenchmen by the hun dreds of thousands have stood and watched the bannered armies go by, and the huzza has been three miles long and until the populace were so hoarse they could huzza no longer. Again and again and again the Germans by hun dreds of thousands have stood on the palaced and statued Unter den Linden, Berlin, and strewn garlands under the feet of uniformed hosts led on by Von Moltke or Blucher or Frederick the Great When Wellington and Ponsonby and the Scots Grays came back from Water loo, or Wolseley from Egypt, or Marl borough from Blenheim, what military processions through Regent street and along by the palaceof London and over the bridges of the Thames! What al most interminable lins of military on the streets of our American capitals, while mayors and governors and presi dents, with uncovered heads, looked on! But put all those grand reviews to gether, and they are tame compared with the review which on this New Year's day you from the pew and I from the pulpit witness Hear them pass in chronological order -all the years before the flood; all the years since the flood; decades abreast; centuries abreast; epochs abreast; mil lenniums abreast; Egyptian civilization, Babylonian populations, Asyrian do minions; armies of Persian, Grecian, Peloponnesian and Roman wars; Byzan tine empire, Saracenic hosts, crusaders of the first, the second, third and the last avalanche of men; dark ages in somber epaulets and brighter ages with shields of silver and helmets of gold; Italy, Spain, France, Russias, Germany, England and America, past and pres ent; dynasties, feudal domains, despot isms, monarchies, repub!ics, ages on ages, ages on ages, passing to-day in a chronological review, until one has no more power to look upon the advancing columns, now brilliant, now squalid, now garlanded with peace, now crim son with slaughter, how horrid with ghastliness, now radiant with love and joy. This chronological study affords, among other practical thoughts, espe cially two-the one encouraging to the last degree and the other startling. The encouraging thoughtis that the main drift of the centuries has been toward betterment, with only here and there a stout reversal Grecian civilization was a vast improvement on Egyptian civilization, and Roman civilization a vast improvement on Grecian civiliza tion, and Chriatian civilization is a vast improvement on Roman civilization. What was the boasted age of Pericles compared with the age of Longfellow and Tennyson? What was Que Eltabeth as a specimen of moral wom auhood compared with Queen Victoria? SWhat were the cruel warriors of olden times compared with tse most distirn guished warriors of the luast half cen ! tury, all of them as much distinguished for kindn-s and good morals as fr lpowes--tbe two military leaders of our sivil war on aerther and southern side coms·atpeat members of Christian churehes, sad their home life as pure as their publis Mfe* N thfngbaspresies me in this chrono logifal review mor. than the faet that th regumints iatof years are better and better regtiats as the troops move on.

God did not build this world for a slaughter house or a den f Infamy. A good deal of leaning house will be necessary before this world becomes as clean and sweet as it ought to be but the brooms and the scrabbing brushes, and the upholsterers and plumbers are already busy, and when the world gets find up, as it will be, if Adam and Zve ever visit it, as I expect they will, they will say to each other: "Well, this beats paradise when we lived there, and the pears and the plums are better than we plucked from the first trees, and wardrobes are more complete, and the climate is better. Since I settled in my own mind the fact-that God was stronger than the devil I have never lost faith in the emparadisation of this planet With the exception of a retrogression in the Dark Ages, the movement of the world has been on and on, and up and up, and I have two jubilant hosannas-one for the closing year and the other for the new` year. But the other thought coming out of this subject is that Biblical chronology, and indeed all chronology, is urging the world to more punctuality and immedi ateness. What an unsatisfactory and in definite thing it must have been for two business men in the time of Ahas to mpke an appointment, saying; "We will settle that business matter to-morrow when the shadow on the dial of Ahaz reaches the tenth step from the top," or "'I will meet you in the street called Straight in Damaseus in the time of the new moon," or when asked in a court room what time an occurrence took place should answer, "It was during the time of the latter rain," or "It was at the time of the third crowing of the barnyard!' You and I remember when ministers of the gospel in the country, giving out a notice of an evening service, instead of saying at 6 or i or 8 o'clock, would say, "The service will begin at early candle light" Thank God' for chron ological achievements which have ushered in calendars and almanacs and clocks and watches, and at so cheap a rate all may possess them! Chronology, beginning by appreciating the value of years and the value of days, has kept on until it cries out, "Man, immortal; woman, immortal; look out for that minute; look out for that second!" We talk a great deal about the value of time, but will never fully appreciate its value until the last fragment of it has passed out of our possession forever. The greatest fraud a man can commit is to rob of his time. Hear it, ye laggards, pent AU the fingersof chronol t to punctuality as one of the graces The minister or the lec turer or business man who comes to his place ten minutes after the appointed time commits a crime the enormity of which can only be estimated by multi plying the number of persons present by ten. If the engagement be made with five persons, he has stolen fifty minutes, for he is ten minutes too late, and he has robbed each of the five per sons of ten minutes apiece, and ten times five are fifty. If there be 500 persons present and he be ten minutes too late, he has commit ted a robbery of 5,000 minutes, for ten times 500 are 5,000, and 5,000 minutes are eighty-three hours, which make more than three days. The thief of dry goods, the thief of bank bills, is not half so bad as the thief of time. Dr. Rush, the greatest and busiest physician of his day, appreciated the value of time, and when asked how he had been able to gather so much infor mation for his books and lectures he re plied: "I have been able to do it by economizing my time. I have notspent one hour in amusement in thirty years." And taking a blank book from his pocket, he said, "I fill a book like this every week with thoughts that occur to me and facts collected in. the rooms of my patients." Dut do not let us get an impression from chronology that because the years of time have been so long in procession they are to goon forever. Matter B not eternal No, no! If you watch half a day, or a whole day, or two days, as I once did, to see a military procession you remember the last brigade, and the last regiment, and the last com pany finally passed on, and as we rose to go we said to each other, "It is all over." So this mighty procession of earthly years will terminate. Just when I have no power to prognosticate, but science confirms the Bible prophecy that the earth can not always last. Indeed there has been a fatality of worlds The moon is merely the corpse of what it once was, and scientists have again and again gone up in their ob·servato ries to attend the deathbed of dying worlds and have seen them cremated. So I am certain, both from the Word of God and science, that the world's chro nology will sooner or later come to its last chapter. The final century will arrive andpss on, and then will come the final decade, and then the final year, and the final month, and the final day. The last spring will swing ita cenrer of apple blossoms and the last winter bank its snows The last sunset will burn like Moscow and the last morning radiate the hills. The clocks will strike their last hour,and the watches will tick their last second. No incendiaries will be needed to run hither and yon with torches to set the world on fire.

When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Govern ment Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent. to 6o per cent. more leavening strength than the others, and also that it was more per fectly combined, absolutely pure, and altogether wholesome. As most of these powders are sold to consumers at the same price as the "Royal," by the use of the Royal Baking Powderthere is an average saving of over one third, be sides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, bis cuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable. The official reports also reveal the pres ence, in other powders, of alum, lime or sulphuric acid, by'which their use is made a matter of grave danger to the consumer. Whenever a baking powder is sold at a lower pries than the "Royal," or with a gift, it is a certain indication that it is made from alum, and is to be avoided under all circumstances. JOLLY THOUGHTS.
