Mp“ and the Volcano—he m . uh its the Worldwtvidenees o! God's Wrath. BBOOILYN, Oct. iii—Dr. Talmaxe bed the filth sermon of the series on tour in the Holy Land in the Aoaderny of Music in this city this morning. This evening at The Christian Herald service in the Academy of Music, New York, the ser- mon was repeated before an audience which filled the vast building in every part. Dr. Tulmege announced as his text, Pa. eiv, 32: "He toucheth the hills and they smoke." He said: David the poet here pictnma volcano, and what . Church’s Cotopaxi does on painter’s canvas this author does in words. on see a bill, calm and still and for ages immovable, but. the lard out of the heav- ens puts his finger on the top of it, and from it rise thick vapors inter-shot with fire. “He touchcth the hills and they smoke." God is the only being who can manage a volcano, and again and again has he cm- pioycd volcanic action. The pictures on the walls of Porn poll, the exhumed Italian city, news saw them last November, de- monstrate that the city was not fit to live. in the first century that city, cngirdled with palacesmmpandised with gardens, pillared into architectural quuisitcness, as at the foot of a mountain up the aides & which it ran with vineyards and villas of merchant princes, and all that marble and bronzennd imperial baths and arbori— culturo and rainbo ed" fountains, and n coliseum at. the dedication of which nine thousand beasts had been slaiir, and a su‘ poms] landscape in which the shore gave roses to the sea and the sen gave crytals to the shore; yes, all that beauty and pomp and wealth could give WfLS there to be seen or heard. But the bud morals of the city had shocked the world. In the year 79. on the 4th of August,a black column rose above the adjoining mountain and spread out, Pliny says, as he saw it, like a great pine tree, wider and wider, until it. began to rain upon the city first. thin ashes and then pumice stone, and sulphumm fumes scooped, and streams of mud poured through the streets till few people (escaped, and the city was buried, and some of the inhabitants eighteen hundred years after were found cmbalmcd in the scorim of that awful doom. The Lord called upon volcanic forces to obliterate that proiii gate city. He touched the bills and they smoked. SCIENCE ASD SCRU’TL’RE AGREE. Nothing but volcanic action can explain what i shall allow you at the Dead sea upon which i looked last Ikeembcr, and of whose waters 1 took a bitter and sting- ing taste. Concerning all that. region there has been controversy enough to fill li- braries. science saying one thing, revela— tion saying another thing. But admit voi- conic action divinely employed and both testimonies are one and the name. (lacingy, chemist ry, geography, matrunotny, iclitby- ology, ornitholngy and zoology are coming one by one to coniirm the Scriptures. ’l‘wo leaves of one book are Revelation and Creo- tiou, and the pcmnnnslxip is by the some divine hand. Our horseback ride will not be so steep today, and you can stay on without clinging to the pommel of the sorts die, but the scenes amid which we ride shall, if possible. be more thrilling, and by thoiime the horses snuff the sulphureus atmosphere of Lake :Lshaltites, or the Dead see, we will be ready to dismount and read from our Bibles about what was done that day by the Lord when he touched the hills and they smoked. Take a detour and pass along by the rocky fortress of Mandala, ivbero occurred something more wonderful in the way of desperation than you have ever heard of, unless you have heard of that. Herod builtn palaccnmid these heaps of black and awful rocks which look like a tumbled midnight. A great band of robbers, about one thousand including their families, of terwnrd held the formats. “'hen the Ro- man army stormed that steep and the ban- dits could no lengrr hold the place, their chicftaln, Eleanor, made a powerful speech which persuaded them to die before they were captured. First the men kissed their families a loving and tearful good—by and then put adagger into their hearts, and the women and children were slain. Then hots men were chosen by lot to slay all the other men, and each man lay down by the deed wife and children and waited for these executioner» to do their work. This done, one man of the ten killed the other nine. Then the survivor committed sul— dde. Two women and five children had hid themselves, and after all was over came forth to tell of the nine hundred and sixty slaughtered Great and rugged nah oral scenery makes the must tremendous natures for good or evil.

THE CITIES 01" THE PLAN. in these regions once stood four great cities of Aasyrlu: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admo and Zeboim. The Bible says they were de- stroyed by a tomptest of fire and brim- stone after these cities had filled up of wickedness. “No; that is absurd," cries some one; "it is evident that this was a re-. gion of suit and brimstone and pitch long befomtbut." Andso it was. The Bible says it was a region of sulphur-long be- fore tbe great catastrope. “Well, now," says some one, wanting to raise a quarrel between science and Revelation, "you have no right to say the 'cs of the plain were destroyed byu phest of fire and sulphur and brlmstone, because this re. Klou bod these characteristics hing before these cities were destroyed.” Volcanic ac tion, is my reply. These cities had been built out of very combustible materials. The mortar was of bitumen easily ignited, and the walls dripped with pitch most in- flammable. They nah! think, one ridge of hills. They stood high up and conspicu- ous. radiant in their sins, ostentatious in their dcbaucberics, fonr hells on earth. One day there was a rumbling in the enrth,und nrpiaking. “What’s that?" my theriffrighted inhabitants. “What’stbatl” The foundations of the earth were giving way. A volcn no, Whirl“ fires had been bum- ing for ages, it! God's command bursts forth, easily setting everything nflnmc. and first lifting these cities high in air and then tlztsldngthmdown in Chanllli-I fathom- lcas. The flu-sol flint eruption intershot the dense smoke and rolled unto the heav- ens. only to descend again. And all the configuration of that country was changed. and where there was a hill there come a col ley, and where there had been the pomp of nnclefluness came widespread desolation. The red but spade of volcanic notion hall shoveled under the cities of the plain. Be fore the cutest mph» the cities stood on the top of the salt and sulphur. After the catastrophe they were under the salt and sulphur. Science right; Revelation right. “lie toucbctb the hills and they smoke." No science ever frightened believers in Revelation so much as geology. They feared that the strata of the earth would contradict the Scriptures. and then Moses must in) under. But as in the Dead sen instance so in all cases God's writing on the earth and God's writing in the Bible are harmonious. The shelves of rock cor- respond with the shelves of the American Bible society. Science digs into the earth and finds deep down the n-mnins of plants, and so the Bible announces plants first. Science digs down and says, “Murine ani- mals next," and the Bible says, “Marius sniman next." Science digs down and says, “Land animals next," and the Bible responds, “Land animals next." "Then comes man!" says science. “Then comes man!" responds the Bible. Science digs into the regions about the Dead sea, and finds result of fire and masses of brim- stone, and announces a wonderful geologi- cal formation. “Oh, yes," says the Bible, “Moses wrote thousands of years ago, The Lord ruined upon Sodom and upon G0- morrnh brim-atone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,' and _David wrote, ‘He ioucheth the hills and they smoke.’ " So 1 g'neis we will hold on to our Bibles it lit- tle longer. A gentleman in the anteroom of the White House at “’asbington, hav- ing an appointment with Mr. Lincoln at 5 o'clock in the morning. got there fifteen minutes early, and asked the servant, "\th is talking in the next room?" "It is the president, air." is anybody with him’” “So, all”, he in reading the Bible. lie spends every morning from 4 to 5 o'clock reading the Scripture-2i." rimvuoarn i‘l'l’illsl ovrzuwurtuu-Ln.

Now we come through regions where there are bills cut into the shape of catho drols, with altar and column and arch and chancel and pulpit and dome and architecture of the rocks that i think. can hardly just happen so. Perhaps it lobe- cause God loves the church so well, he builrh in the solitudls of Yellowstone pork and Yosemite and Switzerland and Palestine these ecclesiastical piles. And who knows but that unseen spirits may sometimes worship there? “Dragoman, when shall we see the Jordan?" leak. All the time we were on the alert, and looking through tamarisk and willows for the greatest river of all the earth. The Mic slselppi is wider, the Ohio is deeper, the Amazon is longer, the Hudson rolls amid regions more picturesque. the Thames has more splendor On its banks, the Tiber sug- gests more imperial premier), the llyssus has more classic memories, and the Nile feeds greater populations by its irrigation, but the Jordan is the queen of rivers, and runs through all the Bible, is silver thrcml strung like beads with heroics. and before night we shall meet units banks Elijah and Elisha and David and Jacob and Josh- na and John and Jesus. At last between two trees I gota glimpse of a river and said, “What is that i” "The Jordan," was the quick reply. And all along the line which had been lengthened by other pilgrims, some from America, and soon: from Europe, rind some from Asia, the cry was sounded “The Jordan! The Jordan!" llundmlsof thousands of pilgrims have chanted on its banks and bathed in its waters. Many of them dip is wet, gown in the wave and wring it out and carry it home for their own shroud. It in an impetunus stream, and rushes on its though it were lumtcningto tell its story to the ages. Many an explorer has it wbeimed and many a boat has it wrecked. Lieut. lifeline-aux had copper bottomed crafts split upon its shelvings. Only one heat. that of Lieut. Lynch, ever lived to soil the whole length of it. At the season when the snows on Lebanon melt. the rage of this stream is like the Concmaugb when Johnstown perished, and the Wild beasts that may be near run for the hills,explainr iug what Jeremiah says, “Behold he shall go up like a lion from the swelling of Jor- dan." No river so often changes its mind, for it turns and twists, traveling (we bun— drcd miles to do that which in n. straight line might be done in sixty miles. Among bunks new low, new high, now of rocks, now of mud and new of sand, loving the feet of the terebinths and olemuicrs and Acacias and Herb and pistztchlos and silver poplars.

Our drugomnu had a man famil- iar with the river wade through and across to show the depth and the swiftnau of the stream and the most appropriate place for the ceremony, Then I read from the Bible the accounts of baptisms in that sacred stream, and implored the presence of the Christ on whose head the dove descended at. the Jordan. Then as the candidate and myself stepped into the waters the people on the banks sang in full and resounding voice: On Jordan‘s stormy banks l stand And casts wishful eye To Canaan’s fair and happy laud. Where my possessions lie. 0b. the unimporilug, rapturous scene The! rhea to my sight: sweet said- arrayed in living new And rivers of delight. this time we had reached the middle of he river. As the candidate sank under the floods and rose again under a baptism in thenameof the Father, andtbe Son, and the Holy Ghost, there rushed through our souls a tide of holy emotion such as we shall not probably feel again until we step into the Jordan that divides earth from heaven. Will those waters be deep! Will those tides be strong? No matter if Jesus steps in with us. Friends on this shore to help us off. Friends on the other shore to see as land. Seal They are coming down the hills on the other side to greet us. How well we know their step! How easily we distinguish their voices! From bank to bank we hail them with tears and they hail us with palm branches. They say to us, “ls that you, father?” “ls that you, mother?" and we answer by asking, “Is that you, my darling?" How near- they seem, and how narrow the st ream that di- vides us! - Could we but stand where Moses stood And view the landscape o‘er, Not Jordan‘s stream nor Death's cold flood Could fright. us from the shore. Electricity for Gout. Electrical endoamosis to accelerate the passage of drugs tlu'ough the skin has for some time been regularly practiced under medical sanction. Edison, “the wizard," had noticed that gouty concretions are often treated with the aid of lithium salts, taken internally to facilitate the fortni- tion, dissolution and excretion from the body of urnte of lithium. The difficulty in this treatment. has always been the un— certniuty of the absorption of the salts into the system, and it occurred to Edison that more rapid succm might be obtained by external application and the employment of electric endosmose to carry the lithium into the tissues. For the purpose of test- ing this application be carried out a series of experiments, the results of which were placed before the international medical congress held at Berlin. The subject experimented upon was 13 yearsof age, uiiillmd lived an active and healthy life until ten years previously, when be contracted the tendency to gouty concretions through sleeping in damp sheets. All the joints except the know were very much enlarged, and the joints of the little finger almost obliterated by con- cretion. The patient experienced freedom from pain, which up to that. time had been intensc,ufter the first day's treatment, and in fourteen days it reduction of nearly an inch and o qnn’rter was ducted in thesisL cumfcrcncc of one of the fingers, whose ; form was favorable in accurate measure ‘ merit. The general condition of the pa tieut was considerably ameliorated, and the results of the experiment were in ev- ery way cucouraging.——Xew Orleans Pica- yune. The Skeleton In the Trenches.
