Washington, June 21.—A most uplifting
truth is presented in Dr. Talmtgc's dis
ccip-se of to-day. His text was. Matt.
10:5: "Are not :wo sparrows soid for a
farthing? onj one of them shall not fall
cn the ground without your Father.”
You see the Bible will not be limited in
the choice of symbols. There is hardly a
beast, or bird, or insect, which has not
lierti called to illustrate some divine truth
—the ox’s patience, the ant’s industry, the
spider's skill, the hind’s surefoote.lness,
the eagle’s speed, the dove's gentleness,
and even the sparrow's meanness and
Insignificance. In oriental countries none
but the poorest people buy the sparrow
and eat it—so very little meat is there on
the bones, and so very poor is it. what
there is of It. The comfortable popula
tion would not think of touching it any
more than you would think of eating a
bat or a lamprey. Now, says Jesus, if
God takes such good care of a poor bird
that is not worth a cent, will he not care
for you, an Immortal?
We associate God with revolutions. We
can see a divine purpose in the discovery
of America, in the invention of the art
of printing, in the exposure of the Gun
powder Plot, in the contrivance of the
jieedlegun, in the ruin of an Austrian
or Napoleonic despotism; but how hard
it is to see God in the minute personal
affairs of our lives! We think of God as
making a record of the starry host, but
cannot realize the Bible truth that he
knows how many hairs arc on our head.
It seems a grand thing that God provided
food for hundreds of thousands of Israel
ites in the desert; but we cannot appre
ciate the truth that, when a sparrow is
hungry, God stoops down and opens its
mouth and puts the seed in. We are
struck with the idea that God iills the
universe with his presence, but cannot
understand how he encamps in the crys
tal palace of a dewdrop, or finds room
to stand between the alabaster pillars
of the pond lily. We can see God in
the clouds. Can we see God in these flow
ers at our feet?
We are apt to place God on some great
stage—or to try to do it—expecting him
there to act out his stupendous projects,
but we forget that the l:fe of a Cromwell,
an Alexander, or a Washington, or an
archangel, is not more under divine in
spection than your life or mine. Pompey
thought there must be a mist over the
eyes of God because he so much favored
♦caesar. But there is no such mist. He
sees everything. We say God's path ;s
in the great waters. True enough; but no
more certainly than he is in the water
in the glass on the table. We say God
guides the stars in their courses. Magnifi
cent truth! but no more certain truth than
that he decides which road or street you
shall take in coming to church. Under
stand that God does not sit upon an in
different or unsympathetic throne, but
that he sits down beside you to-day and
stands beside me to-day, and no affair of
our lives is so insignificant but that it is
of importance to God.
In the first place, God chooses our oc
cupation for us. 1 am amazed to see how
many people there are dissatisfied with
the work they have to do. 1 think three
fourths wish they were in some other oc
cupation, and they spend a great deal of
time in regretting that they got in the
wrong trade or profession. 1 want to tell
you that God put into operation all the
influences which led you to that partic
ular choice. Many of you are not in the
business that you expected to be in. You
started for the ministry and learned mer
chandise; you started for the law and you
are a physician; you preferred agriculture
and you became a mechanic. You thought
one way; God thought another. But you
ought not to sit down and mourn over the
past. Y'c*j are to remember that God ar
ranged ail these circumstances by which
you were made what you are.
Hugh Miller says: “I will be a stonema
son;” God says, "Y'ou will be a geologist."
David goes out to attend his father's
sheep; God calls him to govern a nation.
Saul goes out to hunt his father's asses,
and before he gets back finds the crown
of regal dominion. How much happier
would we be if we were content with the
places God gave us! God saw your tem
perament and all the circumstances by
which you were surrounded, and I believe
nine-tenths of you are in the work you are
best fitted for. I hear a great racket in my
watch, and I find that the hands and the
wheels and the springs are getting out of
their places. I send it down to the Jewel
ers and say. “Overhaul that watch, and
teach the wheels, and the spring, and tlie
hands to mind their own business.” You
know a man having a large estate. He
gathers his working hands in the morn
ing, and says to one, "You go and trim
that vine;" to another. "You go and weed
those flowers;" to another, "Y'ou plow that
tough glebe;” and each one goes ir his
particular work. The owner of the estate
points the man to what he knows he can
do best, and so it is with the Lord.
I remark further that God has arranged
the place of our dwelling. What particu
lar city or town, street or house you shall
five in seems to be a mere matter of acci
dent. Y'ou go out to hunt for a house, and
you happen to pass up a certain street,
and happen to see a sign, and you select
that house. Was it all happening so? Oh,
no! God guided you in every step. He
foresaw the future. He knew all your cir
cumstances, and he selected Just that one
house as better for you than anv of the
ten thousand habitations in the citv. Our
house, however humble the roof and how
ever lowly the portals, is as near God’s
heart as an Alhambra or a Kremlin, prove
It, you say. Proverbs, 3: 33, "He blesseth
the habitation of the just.
I remark further that God arranges all
our friendship:- Y’ou were driven to the
wall. Y’ou found a man Just at that crisis
who sympathized with you and helped
you. Y'ou say “How lucky I was!” There
was no luck about it. God sent that friend
just as certainly as he sent the angel to
Strengthen Christ. Y'our domestic friends
your business friends, your Christian
friends, God sent them to bless you, and
if any of them have proved traitorous, it
is only to bring out the value of those who
remain. If some die, it is only that they
may stand at the outposts of heaven to
greet you at your coming.
Y'ou always will have friends, warm
hearted friends, magnanimous friends;
and when sickness comes to your dwell
ing, there will be watchers; when trouble
comes to you heart, there will be sympa
thizers; when death conies, there will be
gentle fingers to close the eyes and fold
the hands, and gentle lips to tell of a res
urrection. Oh, we are compassed by a
body-guard of friends! Every man, if he
has behaved himself well, is surrounded
by three circles of friend-—those of the
outer circle wishing him well; those in the
next circle willing to help him; while close
up to his heart are a few who would ille
for 'him. God pity the wretch who has not
any friends!
I remark again, that God puts down the
limit to our temporal prosperity. The
world of finance seems to have no God in
it. You cannot tell where a man will land.
The affluent fall; the poor rise. The ingen
ious fail; the ignorant succeed. An enter
prise opening grandly, shots in bankrupt
cy, while out of the peat dug up from some
New England marsh the millionaire builds
his fortune. The poor man ihinks it is
chance that keeps him down; the rich
man thinks it is chance which hosts him;
and they are both wrong. It is so hard to
realize that God rules the money market,
and has a hook In the nose of the stock
gambler, and that all the commercial rev
olutions of the world shall result in the
very best for God’s dear children.
My brethren, do not kick against the
divine allotments. God knows Just how
much money it is Ixest for you to lose. Y’ou
never gain unless it is best for you io gain
Y'ou go up when It is best for vou to go
Mp, and go down when it is best for you
to go down. Prove it, you say; 1 will.
Rom. 2:23, “All things work together for
good to them that love God.” Y'ou go Into
a factory and you see twenty or thirty
wnecis, and they are going in different
and rectione. This band is rolling off this
■way, and another band another way; one
j down and another up You say: "What
confusion in a factor}!” Oh. no! all th-se
I different bands are only different parts
of the machinery. So I go into your life
an Is strange things. Here is one prov
idt net- pulling you one way ami another
in another way But these are liff-rent
parts of one machinery by which he will

Kj* you know that a second mortgage,
1 at i u third and fourth mortgage are of
t* n worth nothing It is the nr.-’ mort
gage that is a g od investment. I have to
teil you that every Chr-siian man has a
ttrsr mortgage on every trial, and on ev
ery disaster, and it must make a paym-nt
of eternal advantage to his soul. How
many worr.ments it would take out of
your heart, if you believed that fully.
Y ou buy goods and hope the price will go
tip. but you are in a fret and a frown
for fear the price will go down. Y'ou io
not buy the goods using your best dis
cretion in the matter and then say: "O.
Lord, I have done the best I eluld; I
commit this whole transaction into thy
han is!” That is what religion is good lor
or it is good for nothing.
There are two things, says an olu pro
verb, you ought not to fret about: Fiyst,
things that you can help; and second,
tilings which you cannot help. If you c m
help them, why do you not apply the rem
ely? If you cannot help them, you
might as well surrender first as last. My
dear brethren, do not sit any longer mop
ing alxtut your ledger. Do not sit looking
so desponding upon your stock of uns.il
ahb goods. Do you think that God is go
ing to allow you, a Christian man. to do
business alone? God is the controlling
partner in every firm; and, although your
debtors may abscond, although your se
curities may fail, although your store
may burn, uod will, out of an infinity of
results, choose for you the very best re
sults.
Do not have any idea that you can over
step thy limit that God has laid down fur
your prosperity. Y'ou will never get one
inch beyond it. God has decide 1 how
much prosperity you can stand honorably,
and employ usefully, an 1 control right
eously; and at the end of the year you
will have Just so many dollars and cents,
just so much wardrobe. Just so much
furniture. Just so many bonds and mort
gages. and nothing more. I will give you
one hundred dollars for every penny you
get beyond that. God has looked over
your life. He snows what Is best for
you. and he is going to bless you in time,
and bless you for eternity; and he will do
it in the best way. Y'ou little child says.
“Papa, 1 wish you would let me have that
knife.” "No,” you say. "it is a sharp
knife .and you will cut yourself.” He says
'T must have it.” "Hut you cannot have
it." you reply. He gets angry and red in
the face, and says he will have it; hut
you say he shall not have it. Are you not
kind in keeping It from him? So God
treats his children. I say, ”1 wish, heav
enly Father, to get that." God says, "No,
my child.” I say, "I must have it.” God
says, "You cannot have It.” I get angry
and say, ”1 will have it." God says, "You
shall not have it;" and I do not get it. Is
he not kind and loving and the best of
Fathers? Do you tell me there is no rule
and regulation in these things? Tell that
to the men who believe in no God and no
Bible. Tell it not to me!
A man of large business concludes to
go out of his store, leaving much of his
investments In the business, and he says
to his sons, “Now, I am going to leave
this business in your hands. Perhaps
I may come back In a little while, and
perhaps not. While I am gone you will
please to look after affairs." After
awhile the father comes ha k and finds
everything at loose ends, and the whole
business seems to he going wrong. He
says, "I am going to take-ososseslon of
this business—you know I never fully
surrendered It; and henceforth consider
yourselves subordinates." Is he not
right in doing it? He saves the busi
ness. The Lord seems to let us go on In
life, guided by our own skill, and we
make miserable work of It. God comes
down io our shop, or our store, and says,
"Things are going wrong, I cOme to take
charge. 1 am master, and I know what
is best, and 1 proclaim my authority."
We are merely subordinates. It is like
a boy at school with a long sum that he
cannot do. He has been working at. It
for hours, mat ing figures here, and rub
bing out figures there, and it Is all mixed
up; and the teacher, looking over the
boy's shoulder, knows that he cannot
get out of It. and, cleaning the slate, says,
‘ Begin again." Just so God does to us.
Our affairs get into an inextricable en
tanglement, and he rubs everything out
and says, "Begin again!” Is he not wise
and loving in so doing?
I think the trouble is, that there is so
large a difference between the Divine and
the human estimate as to what is enough.
I have heard of people striving for that
which is enough, hut I never heard of any
one who had enough. What God calls
enough for man, man calls too little. What
man calls enough, God says is too much.
The difference between a poor man anil a
rich man is only the difference in banks.
The rich man puis his money in the Wash
ington Bank or the Central Bank or the
Metropolitan bunk, or some other bank of
that character, while the poor man comes
up and makes his Investments In the bank
ol him who runs all the quarries, all the
mines, all the gold, all the earth, all hea
ven. Do you think a man can fail when
he is hacked up like that?
Y'ou may have seen a map on
which is described, with red ink,
the travels of ’ the children of
Israel through the desert to the
promised land. Y'ou see how they took this
and that direction, crossed the river and
went through the sea. Do you know God
has made a map of your life with paths
leading up to this bitterness and that suc
cess, through this river and across that
sea? but, blessed be God, the path always
comes out at the promised land. Mark that!
Mark that!
I remark, again, that all those
that seem to he but accidents in our life
are under the divine supervision. We
sometimes seem to be going helmless and
anchorless. Y'ou say, "If I had some
other trade; if I had riot gone there this
summer; if I had lived in some other
house." You have no right to say that.
Every tear you wept, every step you have
taken, every burden you have carried, is
under divine inspection, and that event
which startled your whole household with
horror God met with perfect placidity, be
cause he knew it was for your good. It
was part of a great plan projected long
ago. In eternity, when you come to reck
on up your mercies, you will point to that
affliction as one of your greatest bless
ings.
God has a strange way with us. Joseph
found his way to the prime minister’s
chair by bc-ing pushed into a pit; and to
many a Christian down is up. The wheat
must he flailed; thp quarry must be blast
ed; the diamond must be ground; the
Christian must be afflicted; and that sin
gle event, which you supposed stood en
tirely alone, was a connecting link be
tween two great chains, one chain reach
ing through all eternity past and the oth
er chain reaching through all eternity
future—so small an event fastening two
eternities together.
A missionary, coming from India to the
I’nited States, - stopped at St. Helena
whils the vessel was taking water. He had
his little child with him. They walked
along by an embankment .and a rock at
tha; moment became loosened, and falling
instantly, killed the child. Was it an acci
dent? Was it a surprise (o God? Hail he
allowed his servant, after a life of conse
cration. to come to such a trial? Not such
Is my God. There are no accidents in the
Divine mind, though they may seem so to
us. God is good, and by every single inci
dent of our life, whether it be adverse or
otherwise, before earth and heaven, God
will gli monstrate his mercy.
I hear a man say. "That idea belittles
God. Y'ou bring him down to such little
things.” Oh, I have a more thorough ap
preciation of God in little things than I
have in great things! The mother does not
wa’t until the child has crushed its foot
or broken its arm tnfore she administers
sympathy. The child conies in with the
least bruise, and the mother kisses it. God
does not wait for some tremendous crisis
in our life, hut comes down to us In our
most insignificant trials, and throws over
us the arms of his mercy.
Going up the V, hita Mountains some
years ago. I thought of that passage in
the Bible that speaks of God as weighing
mountains in a balance. As I looked at
those great mountains I thought. Can it
be possible that God can put these great
mountains in scales? It was an idea too
great for roe to grasp; but when I saw
a bluebell down by the mule’s foot on mv
way up Mount Washington, then I under
stood the kindness and goodness of God
It is not so much of God in great things
I can understand—but of God in lit’le
things.
There Is a man who says: “That doc
trine cannot be true, because things do go
so very wrong.” I reply it Is no inconsis
tency on the part of God, but a lack of un
derstanding on our part. I hear that men

People often wonder why their nerves are
bo weak; why they get tired bo easily;
why they start at every slight bat

Dyspepsia
The explanation is simple, tt is .ound in

only the raw materials, anil 1 ask: "Are
these the shawls I have heard about?”
"No," says the manufacturer; “go up to
the next floor;” and I go up. and there I
begin to set- the design. But the man
says: "Do not stop here; go up to the
top floor of the factory, and you will
see the idea fully carried out." I do so,
and, having come to the top, see the
complete pattern of an exquisite shawl.
So :n our life, standing down on a low
level of Christian experience we do not
understand God's dealings. He tells us to
go up higher and higher until we begin
to understand the divine meaning with
respect to us, and we advance until wo
stand at the very gate of heaven, and
there see God's Idea all wrought out—a
perfect idea of mercy, of love, or kind
ness. And we say: "Just and true are
all thy ways.” It is all right at the top.
Kemember there is no inconsistency on
the part of God, but it is only our mental
and spiritual Incapacity.
Some of you may be disappointed this
summer—vacations are apt to be disap
pointments—but whatever your perplexi
ties anil worrlments, know that “Man's
heart devlscth his way, hut the Lord ill
reeteth his steps.” Ask these aged men
in this church If it is not so. It has been
so in my own life. One summer I started
for the Ailirondueks, hut my plans were
su changed that I landed in Liverpool. I
studied law and I got into the ministry. I
resolved to go as a missionary to China,
and I stayed in the United States. I
thought I would like to be in the east,
and I went to the west; all the circum
stances of life, all my work, different from
that which 1 expected. "A man's heart
devlscth his way, but the Lord dlrecteth
his steps."
So, my dear friends, this day take home
this subject. Be content with such things
as you have. From every grass-blade un
der your feet learn the lesson of divine
care, anil never let the smallest bird flit
across your path without thinking of the
truth, that two sparrows are sold for a
farthing, anil one of them shall not fall
on the ground without your father. Bless

SAUCES FOR TOBACCO.
Flavored to Suit the Diverse Tastes
of Various Classes of Buyers,
From the Boston Transcript.
All tobaccos are treated with sauces be
fore being made up into their commerolal
form. By this means they are flavored in
various ways so as to adopt them to the
tastes of consumers. The tastes of consum
ers vary in different localities, and to
make his goods to suit is the business of
the manufacturer. Each manufacturer
has his own secret recipes, which are
handed down from father to son. Tastes
differ, even among people of various occu
pations. Miners, for instance, want a very
strong tobacco, with a scent and flavor
which another class would not relish.
Outdoor workers in general like a stronger
tobacco for smoking and chewing than
Indoor folks.
All tobaccos. In fact, are doctored. Some
times It is done in an illegitimate way,
for the purpose of deception. Ordinarily,
however, it Is honest and even necessary.
One object of it is to make the tobacco
keep better. Without such treatment it
would become so much dry leaves, the aro
matic properties passing off. Nitre is added
to smoking tobacco in order to make It
burn well. The leaves intended for chew
ing are steeyed in llcprice or other gum.
in order that the plug shall have the re
quisite consistency and sweetness. Mucil
aginous substances In small quantities are
added to cigarettes tobacco so that the
patrleles may hold together and not fall
out of the paper wrapper. Some pipe to
baccos are heavily charged with perfumes
by treating them with essential oils of
rose, verbena, citronelle, bergamot, cassia,
musk, and catechu.
It Is not true that cigarettes are com
monly charged with outturn and other in
jurious drugs. However, they are flavor
ed with essences of various plants, such
as vanilla, stramonium, coffee, valerian
and tea. Occasionally a few tea leaves
are mixed with the tobacco. These fla
vors areßmatters of fancy, and women par
ticularly select their cigarettes with refer
ence to them. Scarcely a plant that will
yield an agreeable flavoring escapes em
ployment by the manufacturers of tobac
co. Among the most used are the lemon,
the orange, geranium, sassafras, thyme,
anise, mint, and cinnamon. Honey "and
maple sugar are utilized for sweetening.
A decoction of hay is sometimes applied
to smoking tobacco.
The basis of a “sauce” is nearly always
some spirituous liquor—usually rum.
Sometimes wine is used. Glycerine is a
common ingredient. More or less molas
ses enters into the composition of much
plug tobacco. The rum preserves the to
bacco. and adds to the flavor of the plug.
The plug trade for the United States navy
is large, anil it is required by the govern
ment that the tobacco furnished in this
shape for the use of its sailors shall con
tain no foreign substances, except a lim
ited percentage of licorice. The tobacco
leaves are dipped into the sauce or else
sprinkled with it.
THE POOL OF SILO A >l.
Some Result* of Recent Excavation*
nt Jerusalem.
From Public Opinion.
The excavations which are being made
in Jerusalem have disclosed much that
was hithdrto unknown about the pool of
Siloam. The identification of the site of
this pool is important, because of its bear
ing on the situation of the city walls. It
has hitherto been considered that the pool
of Siloam, shown to every visitor to Jeru
salem, was one of the few undisputed lo
calities in the topography of the sacred
city. Now, however, as investigation pro
gresses, doubts have been raised on this
point. Among archeologists a contest has
arisen us complicated as that concerning
the site of Calvary, the sepulcher and
other sacred places.in Jerusalem The
pool of Siloam is in size the least of all
the Jerusalem pools, which from the most
ancient times have been relied upon by
the inhabitants to store up water from
the springs. It had, however, the singu
lar characteristic of suddenly increasing
In depth as the water poured in from
some unknown source. '
The pool of Siloam, although small in
size, played an important part In the sa
cred histore of Jerusalem. It was to Si
loam that the Lovlte was sent with the
golden pitcher on the "last and great day
of the teast” of tabernacles; it was from
Siloam that he brought the water which
was then poured over the sacrifice in
memory of the water from the rock of
Rephldim. It was to this Siloam that the
Ixird pointed when he stood in the temple
and cried, "If any man thirst, let him
come unto me and drink." The Lg>rd

! Siloam. the sacri-lness and efficacy of
whose waters are *:.li believed in at Jeru
salem.
The pool of Sllo int. which has now been
almost wholly un. v Ted, and which is the
one formerly shoe . to visitors, is IsOj feet
in depth, 14 feet . !e at one end and 1* at
the oGier. The water in it is maintained
at a depth of three to four feet, but is
likely to rise a foot or more at any mo
ment. It is face! with a wall of stone,
now greatly ou: of repair. Several col
umns stand ou; of the side walls extend
ing from the top downward into the cis
tern. The water passes out of the pool
through a chann- cut in the rock, which
Is covered for a soort distance. This sub
sequently opens md discloses a lively,
copious stream which empties into a gar
den planted with tig trees. Jerome, who
lived only six mil-s from the pool of Si
loam, refers to the intermittent character
of its waters, which has led some histor
ians to identify j> with Berhesila. Jose
phus speaks of its waters as having been
very abundant, but recent investigations
do not bear this out.
There are a larve number of somewhat
similar pools In j-r isalem. which has 9'
or 40 natural springs within a radius of
eight miles. If it could be shown that one
of these was In reality the pool of Si’.oam
whose location has not hitherto been ques
tioned, it would add a still further confu
sing element to the discussion of the his
torical sites in Jerusalem. Many of the
most important places depend for their
Identification upon their nearness to or re
moteness from rh" !>ool of Siloam. The
mysterious ebb and flow of the waters of
the present pool has been largely relied
upon as sufficiently proving its identity
with that referred to in the scriptures. It
has now, however, been found that a simi
lar phenomenon takes place In the Foun
tain of the Virgin.which is close by. There
the water rose a foot in five minutes, anil
within five minutes more it sank to its
former level. It is believed that the ex
cavations which are being made in Jeru
salem may explain this apparent mys
tery, which nobodv has yet been able to
account for.
