TiTXTtf ? If A 0\rFTT^' DR? TALMAGc REGARDS CHRIST FROM AN UNUSUAi.STANDPOINT. Sermon on Prophecy of Isaiah. '-Eis >"&:ns Shall 5c ?r oadcrfci."?iir. Denies Keport? of His Dissattfr*ct!rn "With His Church. Dr. Talmage, referring to recent reports as tc the severance of hi? present pastor*! relations, has authorized the following statement: ' I have denounced the infamous falsehood concerning my dissatisfaction witt my V.'a?aIngton church and the statement that I hi! determined not to return there. Relations between that congregation and myself are perfectly happy, and the church has tner all its obligations to me. Our attendance was larger last year than e^er i.erore. m.aiiv .'uui c people coming than we coul-1 accommodate. I will be in my regular pulpit she second Sabbath in September." la the discourse below by Dr. Talmage, last, Sunday. Christ is looked at from an unusual standpoint. His test is Isaiah is, >, "His name shall be called wonderful." The prophet livei in a dark time. For some 3,000 years the world had been getting worse Kingdoms had arisen and perished. As the captain of a vessel in distress sees relief coming across the wa-er, so the prophet, amid the stormy times in which he lived, put the telescope of prophecy to his eye and saw 7SO years ahead one Je?us advancing to the rescue. 1 want to show that when Isaiah called Christ the Wonderf tl he spoke wisely. In most bouses there is a picture of Christ. Sometimes it represents hi:u with face effeminate, sometimes with face despotic. I have - seen West's grand sketch of the rejection of Christ; I have seen the face of Christ as cut on an emerald, said to be by command of Tiberius Cmsar. and yet I am conv: ced that 1 shall never know how Jesus looked until, on thai sweet Sabbath icorning, I shall wash the last sleep from my eves in the cocl ri"cr of heaven. I take up this book of diviuc photographs, and I look at Luke's sketch, at Mark's sketch, at John's sketch and at Paul's sketch, and 1 say, with Isaiah, "Wonderful!" I think that you are all interested in the story of Christ. You feel that he is the only one "who can help you. i'ou have unbounded admiration for the commander who helped vio r,c),ftT.a lpjiila nn 'lirrculf ncr. -Ui.O ni*4?v *-? v w _j-- --? ishe'd, but have you no admiration for him "who rescued our souls, himself falling back into the waters from which he had saved us? Christ was wonderful in the magnetism ot his person. After the battle of Aatieiam, when a general rode along the lines, although the soldiers were Ijing down exhausted, the;.* arose vhh great enthusiasm snd huzzaed. As Napoleon returned from his captivity his frs: step on the wharf shook all the kingciom3, and "JoO,OOO men joined his standard, it took Z,000 troops to watch him in hi? exile. So there have been men of wonderful magnetism of nor Vaov Tr>(\ urVlilf* 1 t*>!l vnii ftf X poor young man who came up from Nazareth, to produce a thrill such as has never been excited by any other. Napoleon had around him the memories of Austerjitz and Jena andBadajos, but here was a man -who had fought no battles, vho wore no epaulets, who brandished no sw^rd. He is no titled man of the schools, for he never went to school. He had probably never seen a prince or shaken ha^ds with a nobleman. The only extraordinary person we know of as being in his company was his own mother, and she was so poor that inihe most delicate and solemn hour that ever comes to a wo man's soul she was obliged to lie down amid camel drivers grooming the beasts of baruen, I imagine Christ, one day standing in the ? streets of Jerusalem. A man descended from high lineage is standing beside him: and says, "My father Tvas a merchant prince. He had a castle on the beach at Galilee. Who was your father? Christ answers, "Joseph, the carpenter." A man. from Athens id standing there unrolling his parchment ot graduation, and says to Christ, "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I nev er graduated." Aha.' The idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to command the attention of the world. As well some little fishing village ->i Log; Island shore attempt to arraign New York. Yet no sooner does he set foot in the towns or cities cl" Judsca than everything is in commotion. The people go out on a picnic, taking only food enough for the day, yet are so fascinated with Christ that at the risk of starving they follow him out into the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat before him, and says, "My daughter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dimness from his eyes, and says, "Lord, that V A my cjca ill&j ue vueneu. a panting woman, pressing through the crowd, says, "I must touch the hem of his garment." Children, who love their mother better than any one else, struggle to get into his arms, and to kiss his cheek, and to run their fingers through his hair, and for all time putting Jesu3 so in love with the little ones thai there is hardly a nursery in Christendom from which he dees not take one. saving: "I must have them. I will fill hearen witii tnese, :cr every cedar mat l plant m neaven I will have 50 white lilies. la the hour when I was a poor man in .Jud-.ui they were not ashamed of me, and now that I cave come to a throne I do not despise them. Hold it hot hack, oh, weeping mother; Lay it on my warm heart. Of such is the kingdom of heaven-" T?Yhat is this coming down the road! A triumphal procession. He is seated?not in a chariot, but cn an ass, and yet the people take off their coats and throw them in the way. Oh, what a time Jesus made among the children, among the beggars, among the fishermen, among the philosophers! You. may boast of self control, but if you bad seen him you would have put your arms around his neck and said, "Thou art altogether lovely." Jesus was wonderful in the opposites and seeming antagonisms of his nature. \ ou want things logical and cousistent, and you say, "How could Christ be God and man at tho coma ii-n1 T,-?r?r? corc Creator. 4'All things vrer-j made by him, ana without him was not anything made.1' Matthew says that he was omnipresent. " Ifhere two or three are met together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ declares? his own eternity. "I am Alpha and Omega.'' Hvw can he be a lion, under his foot crushing kingdoms, and yet a lamb, licking the hand that slays him.' At what point do the throne and the manager touch? If Christ was God, why .'lee into Egypt? Why not stand his ground? Why, instead of bearing the cross, not lift up his right hand and crush his assassins? Why stand and be spat upon? Why sleep on the mountain, when he owned the Palaces of eternitj? Why catch fish for his breakfast on the bench in the chill morning, when all the promegr&nates are hi?, and ail the vineyards his, and all the cattle his, and all the partridges his. Why walk when weary, and his feet stone bruised, vrhen he might have taken the splendors of the sunset for his equipage and moved "witb. horses and chariots of iire'.' Why beg a drink from the wayside, when out of the crystal chalices of eternity he poured the Euphrates, the Mississippi and the Amazon, and, dipping his hand in the fountains of heaven and shakiuc: that hand over the world from ihe tips of his fingers, dripping the great lakes and the occans? Why let the Roman regiment put him tojdeath, when he might have ridden down the sky, followed by all the cavalry of heaven, mounted on white horses of eternal victory? You cannot understand. Who can.' You try to confound me. i. am confounded before you speak. IVulsaid it was unsearchable. He went climbing ut> from argument, to argument and from antithesis to antithesis, ckiiu. ?-'J gkvry, nuu men sans liovrii in exhaustion us he saw far above him other heights of divinity unsealed and exclaimed "that in all things he might hare the preeminence.1' Again, Christ Tras vend erf" I in his teaching. The people had been used to formalities and technicalities. Chris; upsc: all their notions as to how preaching ought to be done.

Again, Christ was 1 i wonderful in his victories. j First, over the forces of nature. The sea | is a crystal sepulchre. It swallowed the cen; tral America, the President and the Spanish ; Arm;ida as easily as any tiy that ever floated ' j on ic. The inland lakes are filly as terrible j in their wrath. Galilee when aroused in a ! storm is overwhelming, ani yet that sea jj crouched in his presence and licked his feet, j He knew all the waves and winds. When be \ beckoned, they came "When he frowned,the}* : (led. The heel of his foot made i'o indenta1; ticn on the solidified water. Medical science j has wrought great changes in rheumatic :' limbs and diseased blood, but when the inus\ clcs are entirely -withered no human powc-r 1 r can restore them, and when a limb is once j dead it is dead. But here is a paralytic, his J hand lifeless.

Yet here is a voice that mar; shals the scaly tribes, until in the place where they had let down the net and pulled it up with no f.sh in it they let it down again, and the disciples lay hold and begin to pull, when, by reason of the multitude of tish. the net brake. Nature is hi3 servant. The flowers, he twistei them into his sermons; the winds, j they were his lullaby when he slept in the i boat: the rain, it hung glittering on the j j thick foliage of the parables; the Star of : I Bethlehem, it sang a Christmas carol over ; j his birth; the rocks, they beat, a dirge at his j j death. j Behold his victory over the grave.' The ] J hinges of the family vault become very rusty j {because they are never opened except to ] I take another in. There is a knob on the j \ outside of the sepaicher, but. none 02. the j inside. Here come the Conqueror of Death. < He enters that realm and says, '-Daughter [ of Jarius, sii up," and she sat up. To Laz| arus, "Cose forth," and he came forth. To the widow's son he said, "Get up from that! bier," and he goes home with his mother. Then Jesus snatched up the keys of death j and then hung them lo his girdle and j cried until all the graveyards of the earth j heard hire: "0 death. I will be thy plague! j 0 grave. I will be thy destruction." But Christ's victories have only just begun. This world is his, and he must have it. What is the matter in this country? Why ail these financial trubles'.' There never will ''>e permanent prosperity in this ; land until Christ rules it. This land was ; discovered for Christ, and until our cities j shall be evangelized and north, south, east 1 and west shall acknowledge Christ as King I ami Redeemer we cannot have permanent i prosperity. What is the matter with Spain, ] with France, wiih ail of the nations'' All j the congresses 0: the nations cannot bring j quiet. When governments not only the| oretica'.-y but practically acknowledge j the Saviour- of tao world, there 5 will be neace everywhere. In that dav the sen ~ii! have more ships than now, bu<. there will no: be one ''man-of-war." The foundries of the world Trill jar with mightier iniustrics, but there will be no molding of j bullets. Printing presses will fly their cylinders with greater speed, but there shall go forth no ini'iuitous trash. In laws, in constitutions, en erchan^e, in scientific laboratory, on earth as in heaven, Christ shall be | called Wonderful.

The latter immediately raised himself, raised his pistol,* which he had concealed between his legs, and fired. The bail entered the neck above tie clavicle.

A perfectly stong man with rich, pure blood, has nothing to fear from germs. He may breathe in the bacilli of consumption with impunity. If there is a weak spot where the germs may find an entrance to the tissues, then the trouble begins. Disease germs propagate with lightning-like rapidity. Occe in Wood, the only way to get rid of them is to kill them. This is what I Dr. Pierc's Golden Medical Discovery j is for. It purifies the blood. Teat 1 means that it kills the germs, but t?.at ] is only part of what it does. It assists digestion by stimulating the secretion of digestive fluids, so promoting 1 assimilation and nutrition; purifies 1 as a enricnes zee diocu ana so supplies the tissues with the food they need.

A sensible man naturally seeks a wholesome-looking', healthy, capable companion. Men are not unselfish enough to willingly assume tb" care of a weak, nervous, debilitated wife. Men are not attracted by a sallow, pimply complexion, foul breath, or thin, emaciated form, because these symptoms are the sure index of poor digestion and impoverished blood. . . . A woman afflicted by these mortifying miseries should seek the powerful, purify ing and nutnmental influence of Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery, -which completelv dispels all unwholesome appearances by clearing: 2-nd renovating the organic sources of healthful vitality. It helps the liver to filter all bilious impurities from the blood. It gives the digestive organs power to extract nourishment! from the food. It rounds out thin forms; j wipes away wrinkles, and gives to the com- j plexion its natural clearness and bloom.
