H^EV, DR. TA.IilA.GE, BH^DAY'S DISCOURSE BY TH] NOTED DIVINE. Sabjeot: 4'Christ's Exile.*' Tixt: "And the king went forth and ta rled in a place which wus far off."?H;Samu xv., 17. P<tr np and far back in the history < heaven there came a period when Its moj Illustrious Citizen was about to absent Hitr self. He was not going to sail from beaoh t beach; we have often aone that. He was n< going to put out from one hemisphere to ai other hemisphere; many of us have don that. But He was to sail from world t world, the spaces unexplorod and the in menslties untraveled. No world has evt hailed heaven, and heaven has never haWei any other world. I think that the wit uu>v? auu iub uaiconies were lurouxo'i and that the pearly beach was crowde \rith those who had come to see Him sa out of the harbor of light into the ocea beyond. Out and out and out, and o . and on aud on, and down and down an down He sped, until one night, with onl one to greet Him when He arrived, His dis embarkation so unpretending, so quiet tha It was not known on earth until the excite ment in the cloud gave intimation to th Bethlehem rustics that something grand an glorious had happened. Who comes there From what port did He sail? Why was thi the place of His destination? I question thi shepherds. I question the camel drivers, question the angels. I have found out. H was an exile. But the world had plenty o exiles. Abraham, an exile from Haran John, an exile from Ephesus; Kosciusko, a: exile from Poland: Mazzini, an exile from Borne; Emmet, an exile from Ireland; "Victoj Hugo, an exile from France; Kossuth, an ex lie from Hungary. But this one of whom ] speak to-d *y had such resounding farewel and oame into such chilling reception?foi not even a hostler went out with his lanterr to light Him in?that He is more to be celebrated than any other expatriated exile o: earth or heaven. First, I remark that Christ wa3 an imperial exile. He got down off a throne. H< took on a Tiara. zie ciosea ft pmtiuo kuic w hindv Him. His family were princes anc princessess. Vashti was turned out of th< throneroom by Ahnsuerus. Divid was dethroned by Absalom's infamy. The flv< kings were hurled into a cavern by Joshua's courage. Some of the Henrys of England and some of the Louis of France were jostiec on their thrones by discontented subjects But Christ was never more honored or mor< popular or more loved than the |day He lefi heaven. Exiles have suffered severely, bul Christ turned Himself out from throneroon into sheep pen, and down from the top tc the bottom. He was not pushed off. H< was not manacled for foreign transportation He was not put out because they no mor< wanted Htm In celestial domain, but bi choice, departing and descending into ai xile five times as long as that of Napoleoi at St. Helena, and a thousand times worsethe one exile suffering for that he had de Btroyed Nations, the other exile suffering be cause He came to save a world. An imperiti exile. King eternal. "Blessing and hono; and glory and power be unto Him that sit teth upon the throne." But I go farther and tell you Ho iros ai exile on a Darren lsianu. xuis wuriu ja uu< of the smallest Islands of light in the oceai of immensity. Other stellar kingdoms ar< many thousand times larger than this Christ came to this small Patmos of a world When exiles are sent out, they are generally sent to regions that are sandy or cold or ho ?some Dry.Tortugas of disagreeableness Christ came as an exile to a world scorchec with heat and bitten with-cold, to deserts si moon swept, to a howling wilderness. It waj the back dooryard seemingly of the universe. Tea. Christ came to the poorest part of this barren island of a world?Asia Minor, witk Its Intense summers, unfit for the residence of a foreigner, and in the rainy season unfll for the residence.'of a native. Christ came . not to such a land as Ametica or England 01 France or Germany, but to a land one-third of the year drowned, another third of th year burned up. ond only one-third of the yaar just tolerable. Oh, it was the barren Island of a world! Barren enough for Christ for It gave such small worship and such inadequate affection, and such little gratitude Imperlal_exile on the barren island of t world, ine eartn against n:m. I go further aud tell you that He was ai exile In a hostile country. Turkey was nevei bo much against Russia, France was never sc much against Germany, as this earth wa: against Christ. It took Him in through th< door of a stable. It thrust Him out at th< point of a spear. The Koman Government against Him with every weapon of its arm and every decision of its courts and everj beak of its war eagles. For years after Hii arrival the only question was how best t( put Him out Herod hated Htm, the higt Srlests hated Him, the Pharlsoes hated Him udas Iscarlot hated Him, Gestas, the dyinj thief, hated Him. The whole earth seem ingly turned into a detective to watch Hi; steps. And yet He faced this ferocity. Notic< that most of Christ's wounds were in front Some scourging on the shoulders, but mos of Christ's wounds in front. He was not 01 retreat when He expired. Face to face witt the world's ferocity. Face to face with th< world'ssln. Face to face with the world'i woe. His eyes on the raging counte nances of His foaming antagonists whei He expired. When the cavalry office rowelea his steed so that he mighl come nearer up and see the tortured visag< of the suffering exile, Christ s:iw it. Whei the spear was thrust at Hi.?_ side, and wher the hammer was lifted for His reet. ana wnei the reed was raised to strike deeper dowi the spikes of thorn, Christ watched the wholi procedure. When His hands were fastened to the cross they were wide open still witt benediction. Mind you, His head was no' fastened. He could look to the right anc He could look to the left, He could look uj and He could look down. He saw when th epikes had been driven home, and the hard round, iron heads were In the palms of Hi hands. He saw them as plainly as you eve saw anything in the palms of your hands No ether, no chloroform, no merciful anoes thetic to dull or stupefy, but, wide awake He saw the obscuration of the heavens, th unbalancingof the rocks, the countenance quivering with rage and the cachinnatioi diabolic. Oh, it was the hostile as well a the barren island of a world. 1 go farther and tell you that this exil was far from home. It Is 95,000,000 mile from here to the sun, and all astronomer agree in savinpr that our solar system is onl one of the smaller wheels of the great ma chiuery of the universe turning around som one great center, the center so far distant i is beyond all imagination and calculation and if, as some think, that trreat center i the distance is heaven, Christ came far fror home when He came here. Have you eve VirvnwVit r>f thn homesickness of Christ? Som of you know what homesickness Is when yo have been only a few weeks absent from th domestlo circle. Christ was thlrty-thre years away from home. Some of you fee homesickness when you are a hundred or thousand miles away from the domesti circle. Christ was more million miles awa from home than you oou.ld count If all you life you did nothing but count. You knoi what It is to be homesick even amid pleasar surroundings, but Christ slept in huts, an He was athirst, and He was a-hungered, an He was on the wav from being born i another mau's barn to being burled i another man's grave. I have read how the Swiss, when they ar far away from their native couutry, at th sound of their National air get so homesic that they fall iuto melancholy, and som< times they die under the homesickness. Bui oh, the homesickness of Christ! Povert homesick for celestial riches. Persecutlo homesick for hosanna. Weariness hom* 8iok for re?t. Homesick for nngeli and archnngelic companionship. fiom< sick to get out of the night, nu the storm, and the world's execratioi Homesickness will make a week seem i long as h month, anil it seems to me that tt i tnree aeciiuesui vnnsi romcuvo vu v<ui must have seemed to Him almost as intei miDnble. You have often tried to measui | the other pangs of Christ, but you hav never tried to measure the magnitude uc ponderosity of a Saviour's homesickness. 1 take a step farther and tell you thi Christ was in nu exile which He knewwoul * end in assassination. Holman Hunt, tt master painter, has a picture In whtoh b represents Jesus Christ in the Nazarene ca penter shop. Around Him are the saws, tt hammers, the axes, the drills of carpentr The picture represents Christ as rising froi the carpenter's working bench and weariJ Btret<fhmg out His arms a< one will after b lng in contracted or uncomfortable postur and the light of that picture la so arrange that the arms of Christ, wearilv stretc forth, together with His body, throw on wall the shadow of the cross. Oh! friends, that shadow was on everythin; B Christ's lifetime. Shadow of a cross on Bethlehem swaddling clothes. Shadow < cross on the road over which the three t tlves fled into Egypt. Shadow of a cross Lake Galilee as Christ walked its mo floor of opal and emerald and crys Shadow of a cross on the road to Emmi Shadow of a cross on the brook Kedron. i r. on the temple, and on the side of Oli Shadow of a cross on sunrise and sun Constantine, marching with his army, ! just once a cross in the sky, but Christ i >f the cross all the time. ?t On a rough journey we cheer oursel i- with the fact that it will end in warm ho: o tality, but Christ knew that His rough p >t would end at a defollaged tree without leaf and with only two branohes, beat ? fruit of such bitterness as no human lips l 0 ever tasted. Oh, what an exile?starting i- an infancy without any cradle and endins f assassination! Thirst without any wa 1 Day without any sunlight.

For this royal exile I bespeak the love a I sprripft of all the exiles here present, and one sense or the other that includes all us. The gates ot this continent have been widely opened that there are here many v untary exiles from other lands. Some you are Scotchmen. I see it in your hi cheek bones and in the color that illumli your face when I mention the land of yc nativity. Bonny Scotland! Dear old kii Some of your ancestors sleeping in Gr< friars churchyard, or by the deep lochs fill out of the pitchers of heaven, or under t heather, sometimes so deep of color it mal one think of the blood of the Covenant who signed their names for Christ, dippi their pens into the veins of their own ar opened for that purpose. How ev< fiber of your nature thrills as I menti the names of Robert Bruce and the Can bells and Cochrane! I bespeak for this ro; exile of my text the love and service of Scotch exiles.

Land of Qo smith's rhythm, and Sheridan's wit, a O'Connell's eloquence, and Edmund Burk statesmanship, and O'Brien's sacrifl Another Patmos with its apocalypse blood. Yet you cannot think of it to-d without having your eyes blinded with en tion, for there your ancestors sleep in grav some of which they entered for lack bread. For this royal exile of my sermor bespeak the love and the service of all Iri exiles.

"Golnf: home:" That is the dyi exclamation of the majority of Christiai I have seen many Christians die. I thi nine out of ten of them in the last momi say, "Going home."

The condition of things on earti i will become more and more like the days oi lis Noah and of Lot till the Son of Man shal J come. ind **e spake this parable unto cer... tain which trusted in themselves that thej " were righteous and despised others." Th? previous part of the chapter speaks of the lu" coming of the Son of Man as a time when lj,- God shall avenge His own elect?that Is, - His elect Israel, for His elect church doe; jj not cry for vengeance, but the redemptiou ' j of Israel Is always associated with vengeance upon her enemies (Isa. xxxiv., 8: xxxv., : 4; lxlii., 4). In verse 8 He asks if there shall be any faith on earth or the faith when . this time comes. The church having been era taken to meat her Lord before He comes to avenge His elect Israel, it will be a dark j time. There will be mauy trusting in their . own righteousness, but there will also bo au .f afflicted and poor people who will trust in the Lord (Zeph. iii., 12). 10. "Two men went up into the temple to of Prav? th? one a Pharisee and the 'other a k publican." The Pharisees trusted in their own righteousness. It is written of them in J?? Rom. x., 3. that being ignorant of God's j:? righteousness, and going about to establish z, their own righteousness they did not submit led themselves unto the righteousness of God. Our Lord said to them ihat they would see ' Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, all the prophets, and many from the north, south, east and west in the kingdom of God, but they them? selves thrust out fLuke xiiL, 28, 29). He also 9aid that unless one had morn "right, ^ eousness than that of the scribes and Pharisees it would be impossible to enter the king?7 dom (Math. v.. 20). 11,12. Tbis is the "record of the Pharisee's so called prayer, as given by Him who reads 1 our hearts, whose eyes are as a flame of Are. j There is not one petition in it. He did not . ask God for a simple thing, but just told God what a good fellow he was in his own estimation and how thankful he was for it. He ^ mentioned four things that he did not do " " and two thing* thai he did. There were thus just six things In his little talk with God are Rhout himself, and six is the number of man. jFr as 666 is the number of the beast, the man who will be satan incarnate. There was no humility, no sense of sin, no knowledge of bt. nor ?' himself, yet he thought tbat he prayed, and no doubt weDt away feeling well | ? pleased with himself. He is a picture of multitudes of religious people to-day who Jr attend church regularly, but are no more '" saved thqn he was. In their own estimation ^ey are not slaner3t never were. They were the born children of God by natural birth, or if ? not then, they think it was all made sure by v*T infant baptism, and now they can tell you of ith what they are glad they are not. and of some no good things which they do, and vainly ?. think that all is well. They are followers oi r. Cain, who despised God's way and loved his nA 0WD13. "God be merciful to me a sinner." ? This is the substance of the prayer of th* of P00r rtesP'8eci publican who would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon a truly contrite breast, as he stood alax J?* orf and uttered these words from bis heart. He had no righteousness, and he knew it, J but he had plenty of sin, and he knew thai 1 i too. He needed mercy, and he asked for it, and he pleaded nothing but his sin and God's redemption. His prayer might be renire rWftd "God be DroDitiou3 to me." or "be ? reconciled to me because of atonement." He, like righteous Abel, acknowledged h's sin r? and looked to a sacrifice, J?* 14. "I tell you this man went down to hi? V" bouse justified." The man who wanted ij? nothing and asked for nothing received ,0 nothing and went back to his house a poor, u* self righteous, lost soul, but the penitent , publican who confessed his siu and asked . for mercy received mercy aud was lastantiy h justified from all things from which he could jTe not be justified by the law, for by the deeds 110 of the law no one can be justified. But the righteousness of God, even Christ Himseli ?r and all His merits, is freelv given to everj ' penitent sinner who comes to Him (Act* xiii. 38, 39; Rom. ill., 19-24; x., 4; II Cor, 'e"J v., 21). *a 15. "And they brought unto Him also infacts that He would touch them, but whou 1(16 the disciples saw it they rebuked them.' n& Tho disciples did not know Him eventhougt they dwelt with Him.

The first year of plant* nd iug we scattered pea seeds at the rate &e, of a bushel and one-half an acre ovez ids the ground, and plowed this in three srs or four inches deep.
