r ? f Saving op nations. Dr. Talmage Tells of the Sacrifices of Our Savior. Ba Speak* of Gethaeeaaae aa It Appeared to HIn?Sermon from tha Text i "Ye Are Uougkt with aa Price.*' lCopyTl?ht. 1901, by Louts Klopsch. N. T.J Washington, March SL In this discourse Dr. Talmage shows the Messiauio sacrifices for the saving of all nations and speaks of Gethsemane as it appeared to him; I text, I. Corinthians 6:20: "Ye art) bought with a price." I Your friend takes you through his Jt valuable house. You examine the . f arches, the frescoos, the grass plots, \ the fish ponds, the - conservatories, the parks of deer, and you say within yourself or you say aloud: "What did all this cost?" You see a costly diamond flashing in an earring, or you hear a costly dress rustling across the drawing-room, or you see a high mettled span of horses harHH nessed with silver and gold, and you begin to make an estimate of the T value. WJ The man- who owns n large estate cannot instantly tell you all it is worth. He snys: "I will estimate bo much fot the house so much for the furniture, so much for laying out tho grounds, so much for the stock, so much for the barn, so much for the equipage, adding up in all making this aggregate." "Well, my friends, I hear so much about our mansion in Heaven, about ^ its furniture and the grand surroundings, that I want to kuow how much ^ it is all worth and what has actually been paid for it. I cannot complete in a month nor a year the magnificent calculation, but before 1 get through to-day I hope to give you . the figures. "Ye are bought with a _ j price." Tbo first installment paid for the clearance of our souls was the ignominious birth of Christ in lletlilehem. Though we may never be carefully looked after afterward, our advent into the world is carefully guarded. 'We came into tlie world amid kindly attentions. Privacy a"nd silence are afforded when God launches an immortal soul into the world. Even the roughest of men know enough to stand back. But I have to tell you that in the village on the aide of the hill there was a very bedlam of up -oar when Jesus was born. In a village capable of accommodating only a few hundred people many thousand people were crowded, and amid hostlers and muleteers and camel drivers yelling at stupid beasts of burden the Messiah appeared. No silence. No privacy. A better adapted place hath the eaglet in the cvrie, hath the whelp in the lions' lair. The " exile of Ileavn lieth down upon ^Btraw. The first night out from the palnce of Ileaven spent in an out ? bouse. One hour after laying aside the robes of Heaven dressed in a wrapper of coarse linen. One wo\ild have supposed that Christ would have ma'de a more gradual descent, coming from Heaven first to a half-way world of great magnitude, then to Caesar's palace, then to a merchant's palace in Uniitee, then to a private home in Bethany, then to a flslicxman's hut and lust of all to a stuble. No! It >vas 011c leap from the top tho of~the arv in lle^ffl^Cii and drive away the camels. Pass on t hrough tho croup of idlers and loungers. What, O Mary, no light? "No light," she says, "save that which comes through tho door." What, T Mary, no food? "None," she says, B- "only that which was brought in the ? saclc on tho Journey." Let the BethloW hem woman who has come In here with ' kindly attentions put back the covering from the bnbe that wo may look upon it. Look! Look! Uncover your head. Let us kn ;el. Let all voices bo & hushed. Son of Mary! Son of God! I Child of a day! Monarch of eternity! ? In that C3re the glance of a God. Omnipotence sheathed in that Babe's arm.__T.hat .voice to be ohanged from the feeble plaint to the toue that shall wake the dead. Hosanna! Ilosanna! Glory to God that Jesus came from throne to mnnger that wo might rise from mnnger to throne, ami that all the gates arc open, and that tho door of Heaven that once swung this way to let Jesus out now swings the other way to let us in. Let all the bellmen of Ileaven lay hold the ropo and ring out the news: "Behold, I bring you J^? glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people, for to-day is born in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord!" The second installment paid for our bouI'b clearance was the scene in Quarantnnia, a mountainous region, full of caverns, where are to-day panthers and wild beasts of all sorts, so that you must now go there armed with knife or gun or pistol. It was there that Jesus went to think and to praj', and It was there that this monster of hell?more sly, more terrible, than anything that prowled in that country ?Satan himself, inot Christ. The roso in the cheek of Christ? that Publiue Lentullus, in his letter to / the Roman 6enate, ascribed to Jesus? that rose had scattered its petals. Abrur atinence from food had thrown him Into emaciation. A long abstinence from food recorded in profane his tory is that of the crew of the hip Juno. For 23 days they had nothing to eat. But this sufferer had fasted a month and ten days before he broke fast. Hunger must have agonized every fiber of the body and guawed on the stomach with teeth of death. The thought of a morsel of bread or meat gnust have thrilled tho body with something like ferocity Turn out a pack of men hungry as ( hrist was a-hungered, nd if tlicy lind strength with one Whnt. Tt. Wmihl Ilr? Tho sum collected by the internal revenue-bureau under the provisions of the war rovenuo act, from -Juno 13, 1898, when the act, went into effect, to February 28 1901, was $281,311,515. This Hum of money would bavo built an intor oceanic canal, openod tho arid landB of tho wost to cultivation bya system of irrigation and made navigablo every doBirablo waterway in tho country. And who will dony that theso investments would havo been better ones than tho war for whioh this money haH been spent in the far cast??Atlanta Journal. They Aro Chummy. A Washington dispatoh to tho Charleston Post says Senator MoLaurin of South Carolina, who is still in Washington, was at tho White House Tuesday afternoon, and had a talk with President McKinlcy about some South Carolina matters. Tho Senator stated tha* there wan nothing in his talk with the President of publio interest. Since the adjournment of Congress tho Sena tor has beon a frequent caller at tho Whito House. It is understood ho will will leavo Washington for South Carolina within a short timo now. ? \ I?i I III! i y?il thfy would deVouf you hi I kid. 1 It was in that pang of hunger that Jesus was accosted, aud satan aaidt "Now, change these stcnee, which look like bread, into an actual supply of bread." Had the temptation come to you and me under those circumstances we would hare cried: "Bread it shall be!" und been almost impatient at the time taken for mastication, but Christ with one hand beat back the hunger and with the other hand beat back the monarch of darkness. O ye tempted ones! Christ was tempted. We are told that Napoleon ordered a coat-ofmail made, but he was not quite certain that it was Impenetrable, ao he said to the manufacturer of the coat-' nf.ttiuil "Pnf it n 11 unw vrtiiraal f n nil let us try It." And with shot after shot fired from his own pistol the emperor found that It was just what it pretended to be, a (food ooat-of-mail. Then the man received a large reward. I bless God that the same coat-ofmail that struck back tho weapons of temptation from the head of Christ we may now all wear, for Jesus comes and says: "I have been tempted, and T know what it is to bo tempted. Take this robe that defendod me and wear it for yourselves. I shall see you through all trials, and I shall see you through all temptation." "But," says Satan still further to Jesus, "come, and I will show you something worth looking at." And a fter a half day's journey they came to Jerusalem and to tho top of the temple. Just as one might go up In the tower of Antwerp and look off upon Belgium, so Satan brought Christ to the top of the temple. Some people at u great height feel dizzy and a strange disposition to jump. So Satan comes to Christ in thut very crisis. Standing there at the top of the temple, they looked off. A magnificent reach of country. Grain fields, vineyards, olive groves, forests and streams, cattle in the valley, flocks on the hills and vilages and cities and realms. "Now," says Satan, "I'll make a bargain. Just jump ofT. I know it is a great way from the top of the temple to the valley, but if you are Divine you can fly. Jump off. It won't hurt you. Angels will catch you. Your Father will hold you. Besides, I'll make you a large present if you will. I'll give you Asia Minor, I'll give you Chtna, I'll give you Ethiopia. I'll give you Italy, I'll give you Spain, I'll give you Germany, I'll give you Britain, I'll give you all the world." Whut a temptation it must have been! The third installment paid for our redemption was the agonizing prayer in Gcthsemane. As I sat in that garden at the foot of an old gnarled and twisted olive tree the historic scene eame upon me overwhelmingly. Those old olive trees are tho lineal descendants of those under which Christ stood and wept and knelt. Have the leaves of whole botanical generations told the the storv of our Lord's agony to their successors? Next to Calvary the solemnest place in Palestine is Gethscmane. While sitting there it seemed as if I could hear our Lord's prayer, laden with sobs and groans. Can this be tho Jestis who gathered fragrance from the frankincense brought to His cradle and from the lilies that flung their sweetness into His sermons and from the box of alabaster that broke ilia iniw mm .lesns me comfortcr of 13eflian3', the resurreotor at Nain, the oculist at Bothsaida? Is this tho Christ whose frown is the storm, whose smilo is tho sunlight, the spring morning His breath, the thunder His voice, the ocean a drop ui the tip of His linger. Heaven a sparkle on the bosom of His love, the universe the '' ViVA-'Of. ? s fill 1 tTTe Christ who is able to heal a heartbreak or hush a tempest or drown a world or llood immensity* with His glory? Behold Him in prayer, the globules of blood by sorrow pressed through the skin of His forehead! What an installment in pnrt payment of the greatest price that was evar paid! The fourth installment paid for our redemption was the Saviour's sham trial. I call it a sham trial?there has never been anything so indecent or unfair in any criminal court as was witnessed at the trial of Christ. Why, they hustled him into the courtroom at two o'clock in the morning. They gave llim no time for counsel. They gave him no opportunity for subpoenaing witnesses. The ruffians who were wandering around through the midnight, of course thay saw the arrest and went into the courtroom. But Jesus' friends were sober men, were respeetnble men, and at t hat hour, two o'clock in the morning, of course they were at homo asleep. Consequently Christ entered the courtroom withtno ruffians. Oh, look at Him! No one to speak a word for Uitn. I lift the lantern until I can look into His face, and as my henrt beats in sympathy for this, the best friend the world ever had, Himi self now utterly friendless, an officer of the courtroom comes up and smites llim In the mouth, and I sea the blood stealing from gum and lip. Oh, it was a farce of a trial, lasting only perhaps an hour, and then the judge rises for sentence! Stop! It is against the law to give sentence unless there has been an adjournment of the court between condemnation and sentence, but what earcs the judge for the law? "The man has no friends. Let Him die," 6ays the judge. And the ruffians outside the rail cry: "Aha, aha, that's what we want! Pass Iliin out here to us! Away with Him! Away with Him!" Oh, I bless God that amid all the inj justice that may havo been inflicted liniil! 11R lit this Xi'nrlfl WO )>ov* ?. vl I?J ? sympathizer. The world cannot lie nbout you nor abuse you as much aa they did Christ, and Jesus stands today In every courtroom, in every house, in every store, and saysi "Courage! By all my hours of maltreatment and abuso I will protect those who are trampled upon." And when Christ forgets thnt two o'clock morning scene In \iark Hanna's Town. Tom L. Johnson's success in boing elected mayor of Mark Hanna's town shows the vsluo of a Htrong personality and tho usefulness of convictions. Tho Honorablo Tom is a froo trador and single taxer in national polities and advocates ' > cents faros on municipal car lines. Ho has mado money out of strcot railways, bat now that ho is a millionaire does not appear to be averse to tho people profiting from municipal rail WAys. His stand on this matter alono is enough to cxidain his election along with tho defeat of all other Domooratic candidates ?Tho State. After a Long Absence. Twenty-nine years ago, when t,hc family of 8. (3. Richard, Esq., was residing in Newark, Ohio, tho youngest son, John, then a boy of 17, ran away from home, and, until Wednesday, when he canio to HcllefonUine to look for his parcntH, nothing has been known of his whereabouts. Ho has been asoldior of fortune, and has lived in California atid Mexico during almost all of his 1-ng stay away from homo and friends. Ho was almost ovoroomo to learn of tho death of his mother, which occurred s weral years ago. ia wr i kiii th# fctrokd bi thr t-ufllan ofl thfl mouth And ths howling of the un? washed crowd then He will forget you and me in the injustices of life that may be inflicted upon us. Further I remark: The last great installment paid for oursredemption was the demise of Christ. The world has seen many dark days. Many summers ngo there was a very dark day when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at uoouday went to their perch, and we fell a gloom us we looked at the astronomical wonder. It was a dark day In London when the plague was at Its height, and the dean with uncovered faces tvere taken in open curls and dumped in the trenches. It was a dark day when the earth opened and Lisbon sanV, but the darkest day since tho creation of the world was when the carnage of Calvary was enacted. It was nbout noon when tha curtain began to be drawn. It was the swinging of a great gloom all around tho heavens. Clod hung it. Afc when there is a dead one in the house jou bow the shutters or turn the lattice, so God in the afternoon shut the windows of the world.- As it Is appropriate to throw a blaclc pall upon the coffin as it passes along, so it was appropriate that everything should be somber that day as the great hearse of the earth ro'led on, bearing tho corpse of the K5?.g. A man's last hours are ordinarily kept sacred. However you may have hated or caricatured a man, when you hear he is dying silence puts Its hands on your lips, and you would have a loathing for the man who could st.nnd by a deathbed mkking faces and scofllng. But Christ In His lust hour cannot l>e left alone. What, pursuing Him yet after so long a pursuit? You have been drinking His tears. Do you want to drink His blood? They come up closely, so that notwithstanding the darkness they can glut their revenge with the contortions of Ilis countenance. They examine His feet. They want to feel for themselves whether those feet are really spiked. They put out their hands and touch the spikes and bring them back wet with blood nnd wipe them on their gnrments. Women stand there and weep, but can do no good. It is no place for the tender-hearted women. It wants a heart that crime has turned Into granite. The waves of man's hatred and of hell's vengeance dash up sjgainst the mangled feet, nnd the hands of sin and pain and torture clutch for his holy heart. Hud ho nut been thoroughly fastened to the cross thoy would have torn Him down and trampled Him with both feet. How the cava'ry horses a relied their necks and champed their bits and reared and sniffed at the blood! Had a Roman oflicer called out for a light, liia- voice would not have been heard in the tumult, but louder than tho crash of spears, and the wailing of. womanhood, and the neighing of the chargers, and the bellowing of the cruclflers, there comes a voice crashing through?loud, clear, overwhelming, terrific. It is the groaning of the dying Son of God' Look, what a scene! Look, world, at what you have done! I lift the covering from the maltreated Christ to let you count the wounds and estimate the cost. Oh, when the nails went through Christ's right hand that bought your hands, with all their power to work and lift sad write! When the nails went through Christ's -right foot and Christ's left foot, that bought your feet, with all their power to walk, or run or climb. When tho thorn wo.iit into Christ's temple, that bought your brain, with all its power t.o thjnk and plan. When the spear- cleft Christ's your heart, with all Its power to love and repent and pray. When the Atlantic cable was lost in 1S65, do you remember that the Grent Eastern and the Mhdwnv and the Albany went out to find it? Thirty times they sank the grapnel 2% miles deep in water. After awhile they found the cable and brought it to the surface. No sooner had it been brought to the surface than they lifted a shout of exultation, but the cable slipped back again into the water and was lost. Then for two weeks more thev swept the sea with tlic grappling hooks, and at last they found the cable, and they brought it up in silence. They fastened it this time. Then with great excitement they took one end of the cable to the electrician's room to see if there wore really any lifo in it. and when they saw a spark and knew that a message could be sent then every liat was lifted, ntui the rockets fiew and tho guns sounded, until all the vessels on the expedition knew, and the continents were lashed together. Well, my friends, Sabbath after Sabbath Gospel messengers have come searching down for your souls. We hare swept the aea with the grappling hook of Christ's uospei. Again ana again we nave thought that yeu were at the surface, and wo began to rejoice over your redemption, but at the moment of our gladness you tank buck again into the world and back again into sin. To-day we come with the Gospel searching for your soul. We apply the crose ol Christ fleet to see whether there Is any life left in you, while all around the people stand, looking to see whether the work will be done, and the angela of God bend down and witness, and, oh, if now we could see only one spark of love and hope and faith we would send up a shont that would be heard on the battlements of Heaven, and two worlds would keep Jubilee because communication is open between Christ and the soul, and your nature that has been sunken In sin has been lifted Into the light and joy of the Gospel.
