BROOKLYN. Jan. 7.-lt seemed appropri-
ate that Dr. Talmage should preach this
urinon after his personal contributiou'of
8.0)0 pounds of meat and 2.000 loaves of
. bread to the poor who gathered shivering
in the cold around the bakery and meat
store of Brooklyn. where the food was dis—
tributed without tickets and no recom-
mendatitin required except hunger. . The
textwal Matthew xxvi. ii. "Ye have the
poor always with you.”
Whosaid that? The i‘iiris'. yho never
. owned anything during ili< t..‘tlllj' stay.
. His cradle and his [town were borrowed.
Every fig he ate, was Irom some one else'a
tree. Every drop of wnter be drunk was
from some one else‘s well. To pay his per-
sonal tax. which \\;:-A very small. onl_v 81};
cents. he had to perform a miracle and
makeafish pay it. All. the heights and
deptbs'and lengths nod breadths of poverty
Christ measured in his earthly experience.
and when he comes to speak of destitution.
he always speaks sympathetically. and
what he said then is it! true now. "Ye have
the poor always with you."
For 8.0“) years the bread question has
been the active and absorbing question.
Witness the people crowding upto Joseph's
storehouse in Egypt. Witness the famine
in Samaria and Jerusalem. Witness the
?,000 hungry people for whom Christ mul-
tiplied the loaves. Witness the uncounted
millions of people now living who. I be-
lieve. have never yet had one full meal of
healthful and nutritious food. in all their
lives. Think of them great. families in
England. Think of the 25,000 people under
the hoof of hunger year before last. in
Russia. '
The failure of the Nile to overflow for
seven years in the eleventh century left

TIIE TARIFF cox'rllovensl‘.
The first reason we have always the poor
with usis because of the perpetual over-
hauling of the tariff question. or, as I shall
call it, theturifiic controversy. There is a
need for such u word. and sol take the re
sponsibllityof manufacturing it. Thercare

was high tariff or low tariff or no tariff at
all. When your uncut-grandchild tliehtfi)

rxertion in discussing the tariff.
0n the day the world is destroyed there
will be three men standing on the postomce
steps—one it high tariff mutt. another a low
tariff man. and the other a free trade
nun—each one red in the face from excited
argument on this subject. Other ques-

Another warranty that my text will
prove true in the perpetual poverty of the
world Is the wicked spirit of improvidence.
Avast number of people have such small
incomes that they cannot lay by in savings
bank or life insurance 1 cent a year. It
takes every farthlnx they can earn to spread
the table. and clothe the family. and edu-
cate the children. and if you blame such
people for improvldence you enact a cruelty.
On such a salary as many clerks and em-
ployees and many ministers of religion live.
and on such wages as many workmen re
celve. they cannot in 20 years lay up ”cents.
But you know and I know many who have
competent incomes and could provide some-
what for the future who live up to every
dollar. and when they die their children go
to the poorbouse or on the street.
By the time the wife gets the husband
buried she is in debt to the undertaker and
gravedi er for that which she can never
pay. \ hilo the man lived he had his wine
parties and fairly stuuk with tobacco and
‘then expired. leaving his family upon the
charities of the world. Do not send for In:
to come and conduct the obsequles and read
over such a carcass the beautiful liturgy.
“Blessed are the dead whodie in the Lord.”
for instead of that I will turn over the
leaves of the Bible to First Timothy. fifth
chapter. eighteenth verse. when it says.
“if any provide not for his own. and espe
daily for those of his own house. he hath
denied the faith. and is worse than an in-
fldnl." or! will turn to Jeremiah. twenty-
seooud chapter. nineteenth vene. where it
says. “lie shall boburied with the burial
of an ass. drawn and cast. forth beyond the
gates of Jerusalem."

Professor (‘ope of Philadelphia has a
creature which all naturalists are unani-
mous in pronouncing the first representa-
tive of the booted animal species. The
animal is not alive. neither is it entire so
far as limb and blood are concerned. but. to
the paleontologist. who cares only for the
foasiled bones. the specimen is perfect. It
is not larger than a yearling calf and not
nearly so tall. and was found in the Wind
river country in Wyoming, Professor Cope
named it I’henacodus priinievus when it
was first discovered. giving it as hisoplnlon
that it was akin to a specimen which was
found several years ago in France (the
paleotherium). and which gave i‘uvier and
the other naturalints so much trouble to
classify. "
At the time of the discovery of the French
specimen the savantn of Europe decided
thatlt was the ancestor of "hoofed crit-
