He reviews the state of the country, and attributes the evils which are oppressing Spain to over-centralizing. He advocates the theory of federalism, and points otit that the difference of language and literature in the various provinces fully warrants the desire of the people for self-government. He predicts that the provinces will yet attain their wish by great popular revo lutions.

Quests Always to Be Entertained In Good Spirit Cheerful Service in the Lord's Name Essen-tial-The Rewards of Genuine Hospitality Sure to Come-God's Blessing Always Certain to Those Who Entertain Cheerfully-Good Wishes and Prayers of the Guests-Friends Made lor Life-Future Benefits Assured and Eternal Returns Promised. Special to the Kanta City Timet. The Hamptons, Sept. 11. Tho Rev.

Dr. T. DeWltt Talmnge'i text to-day was from Romans, chapter ill. verse 18: "Given to hospitality," and his discourse as follows: There Is danger that the multiplication of large and commodious hotels in our towns, and cities and villages, will utterly exterminate that grace which Abraham exhibited when he entertained the angola, and which Lot showed when he watched for guests at the gate of the city, and which Christ recognized as a positive requisite for eutorlng heaven, when He declared: "I was a stranger and yt took Me In." I propose speak this morning of the trla-als and rewards of Christian hospitality. Tbe first trial often comes In the whim and eccentricity of the guest himself.

Thre are a treat many excellent people who have protuberances of disposition, and sharp edges of unpliabllity of character, which make them a positive nuisance In any house where they stay. On short acquaintance they will begin to command the household affairs, order the employes to unusual keep unreasonable hours, use narcotics in places of fensive to sensitive nostrils, put their feet at unusual elevations, drop the ashes of their Havana on costly tapestry, open bureaus they ought never to touch, and pry Into things they ought never to see, and become impervious to rousing bells, and have all the peculiarities of the gormandizer or tbe dyspeptic, and make excavations from Door dentistry with unusual Implements, and in a thousand ways afflict the houshold which proposes to take core of them. Added to all this they stay too long. Tbey have no idea when their welcome is worn out, and they would be unmoved even by tbe blessinir which my friend Ger-rit Smith, the philanthropist, asked onemorn-. Ing at his breakfast table, on tlin day when he hoped that tlie long protracted guests would depart, saying: 0 Lord, bless this provision, and our friends who leave us to-day 1" MAKING ALLOWANCES FOR GUESTS.

But, my friends, there are alleviations to be Sut on their side of the scale. Perhaps they ave not had the same refining influences about them la early life that you have had. Perhaps thev have Inherited eccentricities that they can not help. Perhaps It is your auty, oy example, to snow tnem a Dener way. Perhaps they are sent to be a trial.

for the de- velopment of your patience. Perhaps they were to be lutcuded as an illustration of tbe opposite of what you are trying to inculcate in the minds of your children. Perhaps) it is to inuke your home brighter when they are gone. When our guests are cheery, and fascinating, and elegant, it is very easy to entertain them; but wben we find in our guests that which is antagonistic to our taste and sentiment, It is a positive triumph when we can obey the words ol my text and be given to hospitality. Another trial In the using of this grace is in tbe toll and expense ot exercising it In the well-regulated household things go smoothly, but now you have introduced a foreign element into the machinery, and though you may stoutly declare that thev must take things as they find them, the Martha will 1.

rri. v. i mi ureau hi. me uiiuuveruuuio stove, ine ruined dessert Tbe joint that proves to be unmastlcable of a caterer. Tbe difllcuttv of doing proper work, and yet always being pre sentable, inougu you may say mere shall be no care or anxiety, there will be care and tbere will De anxiety.

Kt CHEEKFUL SERVICE NEEDRD. In 1694 the captain general provided a very grand entertainment; and among other tblnirs he bad a fountaiu in bis garden a fountain of strong drink. In it were four hogsheads of brandy, eight hogshead of water, twenty-. five thousand lemons, thirteen hundredweight of Lisbon sugar, live pounds of grated nut meg, inree nuuarea toascea oiscuits ana a boat built on purpose was placed in tbe foun tain and a boy rowed around it and filled the cups of tbe people who came there to be sup-Dlled. Well, vou say.

that was a luxurious entertainment, and of course the man had no anxiety; but I have to tell you that though you had. or propose, an entertainment like that you have anxiety. In that very thing comes tbe Divine reward. We were born to serve, and when we serve others we serve God. Tbe flush on that woman's cheek as she bends over the hot stove is as sacred in God's sight as the flush on the cheek of one who, on a hot day, preaches tbe gospel.

We may serve uoa Willi piate, ana cutlery, and broom as certainly as we can serve Him with Ssalm-book and liturgy. Margaret, queen of orway and Sweden and Denmark, had a royal cup of ten lips, on which was recorded tbe name, of the guests who had drunk from this cup. And every Christian woman has a royal cup, on which are written all the names of those who have ever been entertained by her in Christian style names not cut bv divine Jesus. But, my friends, you are not to iou unnecessarily, inouzn tue rare De plain, cheerful presidency of the table and cleanliness of appointments will be good enough for anybody that ever comes to your bouse. John Howard whs invited to the house of a nobleman.

He said: "I will come on one condition, and that is that you have nothing but potatoes on tne tame." The requisition was complied with. Cyrus, king of Persia, under tbe same circumstances, prescribed that on tbe table there must be nothing but bread. Of course, these were extremes, but thev are Illustrations ot the fact that more depends upon tbe banqueter than upon tbe banquet. ENTERTAINING IN CHRIST'S KAMI. I want to lift this idea of Christian entar- talnment out of a positive bondage into a glorious inducement Every effort you put forth, and every dollar you give to the entertainment of friend or foe, you give directly to Christ.

Suppose It were announced that tbe Lord Jesus Christ would come to this place this week, what woman in this house would not be glad to wash for Him, or spread for Him a bed, or bake bread for Him! There was one of old who washed for Him, drawing tbe Water from tbe well of her own tears. He is coming. He will be here to-morrow. "Inas much as ye have done it to one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it to me." In picture galleries we have often seen repre sentations oi waiter book ana uis. Mends, or Washington Irving with bis associates; but ill -Jhose engravings will fade out, while through everlasting age, banging luminous and conspicuous, will be the picture of you and your Christian goests.

Ton hit we have passed out from the trials Sato thb rewards of ChrUtJlB hospitality; panion, upon Uis cuuureu, upon ui uuim-ball, upou bis parlor, upon bis nursery. The blessing comes in at the trout door, and tbe back door, and down throuirli the skylight God draws a long mark of credit for services received. Christ said to bis "lie that rccelveth you, rccolvetu Me; and be that Ivetb a cup of cold water In the name of a lsclple shall In no wise lose bis reward." As we nave naa so munv iuiuub rei-urucu gaiuk us in heaveu, it wlll'be a satisfaction to have written on unfailing archieves, tho fact that In tbe month of Muy, or June, or September, or December, 16S7, we made tbe blissful mis take ot supposing mat wo were entertain iuk wpuIc men like ourselves, when lot they showed their pinions before they left and we found out that tbey were angels unawares. REWARDED BY GOOD WISHES Another reward cullies in the good wishes and nravers of our iruests. I do not think one's house ever gets over having a good mau or woaau abide there.

George Wbitelieid used to scratch ou the wludow ot the room where be was entertained a passage of scripture, and' In one case, slier ho left, the whole household was converted by reading ot that passage on tbe window pane. The woman of Shunom furnished a little room over the wall for Ellshu, and all the ages huvo heard the glorious consequences, On a cold, stormy winter night, my father entertained Trueman Osborne, the evangelist, and through all eternity I will thank God that Trueman Osborne stopped ut our house. How many of our iruests have brouirht to us coudoleuce and sympathy, and helpl There is a legend told of St. Sebald, that In his Christian rounds be used to stop lor entertainment at the house oi a poor cartwright. Coining tbere one day, he found tbe cartwright aud his family freezing for the lack of any fuel.

St Sebald ordered tbe man to go out aud break the icicles from the side of- the house aud bring them In, aud the icicles were brought into the house and thrown on the heiirih, and they began to blaze Immediately, ana the freezing family gutuerea around and were warmed by hem. That was tbe legend: but how often have our guests come into gather up tbe cold, freezing sorrows of our life, kindling them iuto Illumination, ana warmth, and good cheer, tin wuo opens bis house to Christian hospitality, turns those who are strangers into friends. Years will go by, and there will be great changes lu you, aud there will be great changes in them. MAKING FRIENDS FOR LIFE. Some day vou will be sitting lu loneliness, watching a bereavement, and you will get a letter in a strange handwriting, and you will look at the postoflice mark, and say: "Why, I don't know anybody liviug in that city you will break tho envelope, and there you will read tbe story ot thanks of your Chris-' tian generosity loug years before, and how they have heard ot your trouble.

And the letter will be so full of kindly reminiscences and Christian condolence it will be a plaster large enough to cover up all the deep gashes ot your soul. When we take people into our bouses as Christian guests, we take them into our sympathies for ever. In Doi Holland, a soldier with a sword ut bis side stopped at a house, desiring lodging and shelter. The woman of the house at first; refused admittance, saying that the men of the bouse were not at borne; but when he showed his credentials that he had been honorably discharged from the army, he was admitted and tarried during the night In the. night-time tbere was a knocking at the front door, and two ruffians broke in to despoil that household.

No sooner bad they come over the door sill than the armed guest, who had primed his piece and charged it with slugs, met them, and telling the woman to stand back, I am happy to say, dropped the two assaulting desperadoes dead at his feet. Well, now tbere are no bandits prowling around to destroy our houses; but how often it Is that we find those that have been our guests become our defenders. We gave them shelter iirst, and then afterward in the great conflict of life they fought for our reputation; they fought for our property they fought for our soul. FUTURE BENEFITS ASSURED. Among tbe Greeks, after entertaining and being entertained, tbey take a piece of lead and cut 11 in two, and the host takes one half of the piece of lead and the guest takes the other holf as tbey part.

These two pieces of lead are handed down from generation to generation, and from family to family; -and after awhile, perhaps one of the families In want or in trouble go out with this one piece of lead and find the other family with tbe corresponding piece of lead, and no sooner is the tally completed than the old hospitality is aroused aud eternal, friendship pledged. So the memory of Christiau hospitality will go down from generation to generation, and from family to family aud' the tally will never be lost, neither in this world nor the world to come. Mark this: Tbe day will come wben we will all be turned out of doors, without any exception barefoot, barebead, no water in the canteen, no bread in tbe haversack, and and we will go in that way into the future world. And I wonder if eternal hospitalities will open before us, and if we will be received into everlasting habitations? ETERXAL RETURN'S PR0MI8ED. Francis Frescnbald was a ricb Italian and be was very merciful aud hospitable.

One day an Englishman by the name of Thomas Cromwell appeared at his door asking for shelter and alms, were cheerfully rendered. Frescobald afterward lost all his property, became very poor and wandered up into England; and one day saw a procession passing and, lot it was flie lord chaucelor of England: and lol tbe lord chaucelor ot England wai Thomas Cromwell, tbe very man whom he had ones befriended down in Italy. The lord chance or at the first glance of Frescobald, recognized him and dismounted from his carriage, threw his arms around him and embraced him, paid his debts, invited him to his house and said, ''Hero are ten pieces of money to pay for the bread you gave me and here are ten pieces of money to provide for the horse you loaned me and here are four bags, In each of which are 40J ducats. Take them and be well." So it will be at last witli us. If we entertain Christ In the person of His disciples In this world, wben we Vass up into- the next country, we will meet Christ in a regal procession and He will pour all the wealth of heaven into our lap, and open before us everlasting hospitalities.

And bow tamo are the richest entertainments we can give ou earth compared with the regal muuitlcence which Christ will display before our soul In heaven I I was reading the account which Thomas Fuller gives ot the entertainment provided by George Neville. Among other things for that banquet tbey bad three hundred quarters ot wheat, one hundred and four tuns ot wine, eighty oxen, three thousand capons, two hundred 'kids, four thousand pigeons, four thousand rabbits, two hundred and four bitterns two hundred pheasants, five hundred partridges, four hundred plover, one hundred quail, one hundred curlews, fifteen hundred pasties, four thousand cold venison pasties, fonr thousaud custards the Earl of Warwick acting as steward, and servitors one thousand. 0, what a grand feast was that I But then compare it with the provisions which God bos made for us on high: that great banquet hour; tbe one hundred and forty and four thousand as guests; all the harps and trumpets of heaven as the orchestra; the vintage of tbe hills poured into the tankards; all tbe fruits of tbe orchards of God piled on tbe platters; tbe angels of tbe Lord for cup-bearer, and the once folded starry banner of the blue sky flung oat over tbe scene, while seated at tbe head of the table shall be tbe One who eighteen centuries declared: "I was a strai and ye took Me Our sins pardonedV JBPJ we al mlBSlf in those hospitalitlcsr 1316-1318 St, Louis Avenue Kansas Citv.
