"I Am fme Vota My Garden" Th
Church Which Christ Haa Planted

Intell; tuallr mini 1 oliticallT.
Brook i.ys. X. Y. . July L Rev. Dr.
Talrni.ge, who is now nearing Aus
tralia, on his round-the-world
journey, has selected for the subject
cf his serrcon, through the press to
day, '-The Royal Garden," the text
being- taken from Solomon's 6ong 5:1:
T am core into my garden. "
The wrld ha- had a great many
"beautiful ganleni Charlemagne
added to the glory of his reign by de-c-eeiu?
that they be established all.
througn the realm decreeing- even
the names of the tlowera to be planted
there. Henry VI at Montpeiier, es
tablished gardens of bewitching
beauty ai.d luxuriance, gathering into
them Alilae, I'yrenean ana French
p. ants. Oce of the sweetest spots on
earth was the garden of Shenstone,
the poet His writings have made
but little impretoion upon the worid;
but Ins garden, "the Leasowes," will
be immortal- To the natural advant
age of that place wa s brought the per
ftction of art. Arbor, and terrace, and
slope, an 1 rustic temple, and reser
voir, and urn. and fountain, here had
their crowning-. CUk and yew, and
hazel put forth their richest foliage.
There w r s no life more diligent, no
soul morj mei-ious than that of
S?i:enstoti, and all that diligence and
gpuius were brought to the adorn
ment of that one treasure spot,
lie gave three hundred pounds
for it: he sold it for seventeen thou
sand. Ai.d vet I am to tell you of a richer
g-srdeu than any I have mentioned.
It is the garden spoken of in my text,
tiie parcels of the church, which be-
L a-s to Ciirist, for my text says so. i
He bought it, he planted it, he owns
it, and le shall have it Walter Scott,
in his outlay at Abbotsford, ruined his
fortune: s.n I now in the crimson
flowers of those gardens, you can al
most thi a i or imagine that you see
the LlooJ of that old man's broken
heart. Tl e pavment of the last one
hundred thousand pounds sacrihed .
hiux But I have to tell you that i
Christ's life and Christ's death were
the out'av of this beautiful garden of
the church of which my text speaks. '
Oh, how many sighs, and tears, and :
panes, and agonies' Tell me. ye exe
cutioners who lifted him and let him
down: Teil me, ye sun that didst
hide, ye rocks that fell! Christ ,
loved the t Lurch and gave himself for :
it." If thou the garden of the church
belongs to Christ certainty he has a :
r'.gat to wain in it. come men,
I .fi-e.i Jesus, this morning, walk up
end down 'hese aisles and pluck what
thou wilt of sweetness for thyself.
'1 he Chuich, in my text, is appro
priately ccm pared to a parden, be
cause it is it place of choice flowers, of
select fruits and of thorough irriga
tion That would be a strange raruen in
which theri were no flowers. If no
where ele thev will be along- the
I, rders cr at the gateway. The hooie-l.ef-t
taste will dictate something, if
it be the old-fashioned hollyhock, or
dahlia, or daiicdii, or coreopsis; but
if there be larger means, then you
will find the Msxican cactus and dark
veined arbutelion, and blazing azalea,
and clustering oleander. Weil, now,
Christ i onus to his garden, and he
plants ther-i some of the brightest
spirits that ever flowered upon the
world- Si lae of them are violets, un
consp'.cuous. but swet in iieaven.
You have to search for such spirits to
II nd them. You do not see them very
often, perhaps, but you. find where
they have leea by the brightening
face of the invalid, and the
sprig of geranium on the stand,
and the w.ndow curtains keep
icsr out the glare of the sunlight
Thev are. perhaps, more like the
ran -jncuhis. creeping sweetly along
arri i toe thorns and briars of life, giv
ing kiss for sting, and many a man
who has Lad in his way some great
black rock of trouble, has found that
they Lave covered it all over with
flo". ering jasmine running in and out
amid the c-evices. These Christians
in Christ's girden are not like the sun
flower, gaut y in the light; but when
ever darkneis hovers over a soul that
needs to te comforted, there they
stand, nig'nt-blooming cereuses. But in
Christ's garc ea there are p'ants that
u:av be bettar compared to the Mexi
can cactus thorns without, loveliness
within n.en with sharp points of
character. They wound almost every
one that touches them. They are
hard to liani.ie. Men pronounce them
nothing but thorns, but Christ loves
theta. notwi thstanding all their sharp
nesses. Many a man has had very
hard grouml to culture, and it has
only been through severe toil he has
raistd even the smallest crop of grace.
A very harsh minister was talking
with a very placid elder, and the
placid elder said to the harsh minister:
'Doctor. I d j wish you would control
your temper." "Ah," said the minis
ter to the elder, "I control more
temper in rive minutes than you do in
live years." It is harder for some men
to do right than for others to do
right The grace that would elevate
voa to the f-eventh heaven might not
keep your brother from knocking a
man down. 1 had a friend who came
to me and sa d. "I dare not join the
church." Isa-.d: "Why?" "Oh," he
said: "I Lave such a violent temper.
Yesterday morning I was crossing
very early at the Jersey City ferry,
end I saw a milkman pour a large
imount of water into the milk can,
tnd I said to him: T think that will
co," and he insulted me, and I knocked
bim down. Do you think I ought to
f )iu the church?" Nevertheless, that
tei'Y &ame uii.n, who was 60 harsh in
ha lehavic-r, lore! Christ, and could
not speak oi sacred thin
speaK oz sacred, things without
tears of emotion and aireetion. Thorns
, without but sweetness within the
best specimen of Mexican cactus I
j ever saw.
! There are others planted in Christ's
gurdea who are always ardent, always
ladiant, always impress! v more like
, the roses of deep hue-tlia; we occi
j slcnally fiad called "gianti oi bittle"
! the Martin Luthers. St Pauls,
i Chrysostoms, Wickliffes, La timers and
' Samuel Butherfords. What in other
i men is a spark, in them is a conflagra
tion. When they sweat, they sweat
great drops of b'ood. When they
; pray, their prayer takes life. When
; they preach, it is a Penticost When
they fight, it is a Thflrm&cylte. When
they die, it is a martyrdom. You find
! a great many roses ia the gardens, but
orJy a few ' giants of battle." Men
say: "Why don't you hive more of
them in the church? ' I fay: "Why
don't you have in the worhl more Xa
poleons. and Hnmboidts, and Welling
tons?' God gives to some ten talents,
to another one.
In this garden of the church, wh:ch
; Christ haa planted, 1 ahso find the
snowdrops, beautiful but cold look
ing, seemingly cm ther pha.se of the
winter. I mean those Christians wh
are precise in their tastes, ummpas
sioned. pure as snowdrops and as cold.
They never shed any tears, they never
get excited, they never say anything
rashly, they never do any thing pre
cipitately. Their pulse never flatters,
their nerves never tvtitch. their indig
nation never boils over. They live
longer than most p tople; but their
life is in a minor key. They neve-"'
run up to "C" above the staff. In the
mus-ie of their life they have no stac
cato passages. Christ planted them
in the church, and they must be of
some service, or tliev would not De
there; snowdrops, always snowdrops.
But I have not told you of the most
; beautiful Lower in all this garden
spoken of in tiu text If you see a
! "century plant" your emotions are
started. You say: ' Why, this'tlower
has been a hundred y ;ars gathering up
for one bloom, and it will be a hun
dred years more before other petals
will come out" But I have to tell
you of a plant that vi as gathering up
from all eternity, an 1 that nineteen
hundred years ago put forth its bloom
never to wither. It is the Passion j
' Flower of the Cress." Prophets fore- j
told it Bethlehem shepherds, looked j
upon it in the bud: the rooks shook at
its bursting: and the dead got up in J
their winding-sheets to see its full ;
bloom. It is a crirr s'n flower blood ;
at the roots blood on the branches, j
blood on all the leaves. Its perfume
is to fill all the nations. Its touch is !
life. Its breath is Iieaven, Come, Oh !
winds, from the north, and winds ,
from the south, and winds from the ;
east and winds from the west, and !
bear to all the earth the sweet smelling j
savor of Christ my Lord. !
His worth, if all the nations knew, j
Sure tha whole tarth would love him, too. j
Again: The church may be appro- j
pnately compared to a garden, be- j
cause it is a place of select fruits, j
That it would be a strange garden j
which had ia it no berries, no plums, j
no peaches or apricots. I lie coarser
fruits are planted in the orchard, or
th
ey are set out on the sunnv hillside;
but tha choicest fruits are kept in the
garden. So in the
church, Christ has
many beautiful
charity, g-er.Prositv,
intends the choice-
worid outside the
planted a great
t' :ngs patience
integrity; but ha
t fruits to be in
the gar Jen, and if ti
v are not there,
then shame on the church. Beligion
is not a cere flo wering sentiment
ality. It is a practical, life-giving,
healthful fruit not posies, but
apples. "Ohl" says somebody, "I
don't see what your g;:rdea of the
church has yielded." Where did your
asylums come from? and your hos
pitals? and your institutions of mercy?
Christ planted every one of them: ha
planted them in his garden. When
Christ gave sight to Uartuneus, he laid
the corner stone o r very blind asvlum
that has ever been built When Christ
soothed the di monac Galilee he
laid tiie corner stone of every lunatij
asylum that has ever bt en -stabl ished.
W hen Christ said to the sick man:
'Tae up thy bed and walk!" he laid
the corner stone of every hospital thf
world has ever seen. Waen hrist
said: "I was in prison, and ye visited
me," he laid t:ie corner stone
of every prison reform asso
ciation that has ever been
formed. The Chore n of Christ is a
glorious garden aud it is full of fruit
I know there is some por fruit in it
I know there are weei that
ought to have been thrown over the
fence. I know there are son- crab
apple trees that ought to be cut down.
I know there are some wild grapes
that ought to be uprooted; but are you
going to destroy the wuole garden be
cause of a little gnarled fruit? You
will find worm-eaten leaves in Fon
"tainbleau, and insects that sting in
the fairy groves of tiie Champs Elysees.
You do not tear down and destroy the
whole garden Loc;u: z there are a few
specimens of gnarled fruit I admit
there are men and women in the
church who ought not to be there: but
let us be iust as frank, ani admit
tiie fact that there are hundreds
and thousands and tens of thou
sands of glorious Christian men and
women holy, blessed, useful, conse
crated and triumphant There is nc
grander collection iu all the earth
than the collection of Christians
There are Christian men ia the church
whose religion is not a matter of
psalm-singing and cb creh-goi ag. To
morrow morning that rehgioa will
keep them just as consistent and con
secrated on "exchange" as it ever kept
them at the communion tabie. There
a-e women in the church of a higher
type of character than Mary of
Bethany. They cot enly sit at the
feet of Christ, but they go out into the
kitchen o help Martha ia her work,
that she may sit there too. '.Caere ia a
woman who has a drunken husband,
who has exhibited more faith and
patience and courage than Hugh
Latimer in the fire. He was consumed
in twenty minutes. Her's has been a
twenty year's martyrdom. Yonder Is
a man who has lain fifteen years on
his back, unable even to feed himself,
yet calm and peaceful as though he
lay on one of the green banks of
haven, watching the oarsmen dip
their paddles in the crystal river!
Why, it seems to me this moment as
if Paul threw to us a pomolorist's cat
alogue of the fruits growing in this
great garden of Christ love, joy,
peace, patience, charity, brotherly
kindness, gentleness, mercy glorious
fruit, enough to fill all the baskets of
earth and heaven.
' I have told you of the better tree in
this garden, and of the better fruit
It was planted just outside Jerusalem
a good w hile ago. When that tree
was planted, it was so split, and
bruised, and barked, men said noth
ing would ever grow upon it; but no
sooner had that tree been planted,
than it budded, and blossomed, and
fruited, and the sold ers' spears were
only the clubs that struck down that j
fruit, and it fll into the lap of the
nations, and men began to pick it up
and eat it and they found in it an
antidote to all thirst, to all poison, to
all sin, to all death the smallest
cluster larger than the famous one of
Fshcol, wnieh two men carried on a
start' between them. If the one apple
in Eden killed the race, this one clus
ter cf mercy shall restore it.
Some years ago a vessel struck on
the rocks. They had only one life
boat In that life boat the passengers
and crew were getting ashore. The '
vessel had foundered and was sinking 1
deeper and deeper, and that one boat '
could not take the passengers very :
swiftlv- A little girl stood on the
dec waiting for her turn to get into
the boat. The boat came and went
came and went but iier turn did not !
seem to come. After awhile shecoulJ
wait no longer, and f-he ieaptd on the i
talfrail and then sprang into the sea, I
crying to the boatman, "Save ma j
next' Save me next!"' Oh. how
many have gone ashore into God's I
mercy, and yet you ae clmoring to
the wreck of sin. Others have ac
cepted the pardon of Christ, but you
are in peril Why not, this morninj,
make a rush for your immortal rescue,
crying until Jesus shall hear you. and
heaven and earth ring with the cry,
'Save me next Save me next!"

kinds o' trucft. Attention of the women
p'ticharly invited. "
Mr. Bilius hair rose; also his gore.
"You needn't leave any here," he said
sharply, seizing the one that had been
wrapped about the doorknob, crushing it
in Lis hand and thrusting it into Lis coat

"Got to leave one at every house," said
the boy. "Them's my orders. "
"I tell yoa I don't want any of them

" Y'es, sir. "
"Well, geS down from here and go

"I'll get down." grumbled the boy, pro

Once it happened that as a sweet and

along the highway tho noticed a partic

which the inhabitants of the place called

Thereupon the teneler heart of the
maiden was moved with pity for the
passers by, whose sight and nostrils were
offended by this grievous thing.
So she spake unto herself and said:
"Behold, am I not fair and pure and
beautiful? Are not my garrr.&nts clean
anl spotless? Therefore I will cast my
self into this puddle and purify it!"
But when she had cast herself into

The very latest fashion in uncovering
the head as a salute haa reached Bos
ton by way of New York. It consists in
lifting the hat from the head and then
suddenly thrusting it straight out be
fore you at ana's length. On Broadway
no other style of salutation is recognized
as good form, but in the crowded and
narrow streets of Boston it is mct diffi
cult of achievement. It is not unusual
for a man who attempts it not only
smash his hat, but to waste 10 minutes
in apologizing to the peopla who were
too near him when he executed the sa
lute. It has to be done with such a jerk
to be effective that one stands a good
chauce of giving the person in front of
him a notion that he has be-en sandbag
ged, and it is difficult to explain away
an impression like that. Boston Jour-
