W... **\ DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: In Praise of the "World's TJedeeiner?Portraits of1 Some of Hie Great XHncipIes and Exponents?The Love of Christ Set Forih. [Coypriicht 1901.1 Washington, D. C.?In this discourse Dr. Talmace sounds the praises of the world'8 Redeemer, and nuts before us the portraits of some 01 His great disciples and exponents; text, John iii, 31, "He that cometh from above is above all." The most conspicuous character of history steps out upon the platform. The finger which, diamonded with light, pointed down to Him from the Bethlehem sky was only a ratification of the finger of prophecy, the finger of genealogy, the finger of chronology; the finger of events ?all five fingers pointing in one direction. Christ is the overtopping figure of all time. He is the vox humana in all music, the gracefullest line in all sculpture, the most esquisile mingling 01 ;ignis ami suauca iu all painting, the acme of all climaxes, the dome of all cathedraled grandeur and the peroration of all splendid language. The Greek alphabet is made up of twenty-four letters, and when Christ com!)ared Himself to the first letter and the ast letter, the alpha and omega. He appropriated to Himself all the splendors that you can spell cut with those two letters and all the letters between them. "I am the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." Or, if you prefer the words of the text, "Above all." It means, after you have piled up all 'Alpine and Himalayan altitudes, the glory of Christ would have to spread its wings and descend a thousand leagues to touch those summits. Pelion. a high mountain of Thessaly; Ossa, a high mountain, and Olympus, a high mountain, but mythology tells us when the giants warred against tne gods they piled up these three mountains and from the top of them proposed to scale the heavens, but the height was not Seat enough, and there was a complete ilure. And after all the giants?Isaiah and Paul, prophetic and anostolic giants; Raphael and Michael Angelo. artistic giants; cherubim and seraphim and archangel, celestial giants?have failed to climb to the top of Christ's glory they might all well unite in the words of the text and say, "He that cometh from above is above all." First, Christ must be above all else in our preaching. There are 60 many books on homiletics scattered tnroueh the world that all laymen, as well as all clergymen, have made up _their mind9 what sermons ought to be. That sermon is most enectua) which most pointedly puts forth Christ as the pardon of all sin and the correction of all evil, individual, social, political, national. There is no reason why we should ring the endless changes on a few phrases. There are those who think that if an exhortation or a discourse have frequent mention of justification, sanctification, covenant of works and covenant of grace, therefore it must be profoundly evangelical, while they are suspicious of a discourse which presents the same truth, but under different phraseology. Now, I say there is nothing in all the opulent realm of Anglo-Saxonism or all the word treasures that Ave inherited from the Latin and the Greek and the Indo-European, but we have a right to marshal it in reliS'ous discussion. Christ sets the example. is illustrations were from the grass, the flowers, the spittle, the salve, the barnyard fowl, the crystals of salt, as well as from the seas and the stars, and we do not propose in our Sunday-school teaching and in our pulpit address to be put on the limits. I know that there is a great deal said in our day against words, as though they were nothing. They may be misused, but they have an imperial power. They are the bridge between soul and soul, between 'Almighty God and the human race. What did God write upon the tables of stone? Words. What did Christ utter on Mount AV/m./Ic Out- of what did Christ strike the spark for the illumination of the universe? Out of words. "Let there be light," and light was. Of course thought is the cargo and words are only the sliiD, but how fast would your cargo get on without the ship? What you need, my friends, in all your work, in your Sunday-school class, in your reformatory institutions, and what we all need is to enlarge our vocabulary when we come to speak about God and Christ in heaven. We ride a few old words to death when there is such an illimitable resource. Shakespeare employed 15,000 different words for dramaticpurposes. Milton employed 8000 different words for poetic purposes; Rufus Choate employed over 11,000 different words for legal purposes, but the most of us have less than a thousand words that we can manage, less than 500, and that makes us so stupid. When we come to set forth the love of Christ, we are going to take the tenderest phraseology wherever we find it, and if it has never been used in that direction be\ fore all the more shall we use it. When we come to speak of the glory of Christ the conqueror, we are going to draw our similes from triumphal arch and oratorio and everything grand and stupendous. The French navy lias eighteen flags by which they give signal, but those eighteen flags they can put into 66,000 different combinations, combinations infinite and varieties everlasting. And let me say to young men nrhn -.ire aft.pr a while iroinc to r>reach Jesus Christ, you will have the largest liberty and unlimited resource. You only have to present Christ in your own way. Jonathan Edwards preached Christ in the severest argument ever penned, and John Bunyan preached Christ iu the sublimest allegory ever composed. Edward Payson, sick and exhausted, leaned up against the side of his pulpit and wept out his discourse, while George Whitefield, with the manner and the voice and the art of an actor, overwhelmed his auditory. It would have been a different thing if Jonathan Edwards had tried to write and dream about the pilgrim's progress to the celestial city or John Bunyan had attempted an essay on the human will. Brighter than the light, fresher than the fountains, deeper than tlie seas, are these gospel themes. Song has not melody, flowers have no sweetness, sunset sky has no color, compared with these glorious themes. These harvests of grace spring up quicker than we can sickle them. Kindling pulpits with their lire and producing revolutions with their power, lighting up dying beds with their glory, thev are the sweetest thought for the poet, and they are the most thrilling illustration for the orator, and they offer the most intense scene for the artist, and they are to the embassador of the sky all enthusiasm. Complete pardon for direst guilt. Sweetest comfort for ghastliest agony. Brightest hope for grimmest death. Grandest resurrection for darkest sepulcher. "Oh, what a gospel to preach! Christ over all in it. His birth, His suffering, His miracles, His parables. His sweat, His fears. His blood, His atonement, His intercession?what glorious themes! i)o we exercise faith'/ Christ is its object. Do we have love? It fastens on Jesus. Have we a fondness for the church'' It is because Christ died for it. Have we a hope: of heaven? It is because Jesus went ahead, the herald and the forerunner. The royal robe of Demetrius was so costly, so beautiful, that after he had put i: off no one ever dared put it o:i. nut this robe of Christ, richer than that, the poorest and wannest and the worst may wear. "Where sin abounded grace may much more abound." "Oh, my sins, my sins," said Martin Luther to Staupitz; "my sins, my sins!" The fact is that the brawny Oerman student had found a Latin Bible that had made him quake, and nothing else ever did make him quake, and when he found how, through Cntist, he was pardoned and saved he wrote to u friend, saying: "Come over and join us, great and awful sinners saved by the grace ot Uoii. lon seem to be only a slender sinner, and you don't much extol the mercy of God. but we who have been such very awful sinners praise His grace the more now that we have been redeeired." Can it be that you are so desperately egotistical that you feel yourself in first rate spiritual trim, and that from the root of the hair to the tip of the toe you are 6carless and immaculate? What you need is a looking class, and here it is in the Bible. Poor and wretched and miserable and blind and naked from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of wounds and putrefying sores. No health is us. And theu take the fact that Christ gathered up all the notes against us and paid them and then offered us the receipt. And how much we need Him in our sorrows! We are independent of circumstances if we have His grace. Why, He made Paul sing in the dungeon, and under that grace St. John from desolate Patmos heard the blast of the apocalyptic trumpets. After all other candles have been snuffed out this is the light that gets brighter and brighter unto the perfect day, and after, under the hard hoofs of calamity, all the pools of worldly enjoyment have been trampled into deep mire, at the foot of the eternal rock, the Chris tian, from cups of granite, lily rimmea and vine covered, puts out the thirst of his soul. A train I remark that Christ is above all in dying alleviations. I have not any sympnl h^* with the morbidity abroad about our demise. The Emperor of Constantinople arranged that on the day of his coronnation the stonemason should comc and consult him about his tombstone that after a -while he would need, and there are men who are monomanical on the subject of departure from this life by death, and the more they think of it the less prepared are they to go. This is an unmanliness not worthy of you, nor worthy of me. Saladin. the greatest conqueror of his uav. while dying ordered the tunic he had on him to be carried after his death on a spear at the head of his army, and then the soldier ever and anon should stop and say: "Behold all that is left of Saladin. the emperor and conqueror! Of all the states he conquered, of all the wealth be accumulated, nothing did he retain but this shroud!" I have no sympathy with such behavior or such absurd demonstration, or with much that we hear uttered in regard to departure from this life to the nest. There is a comnion-senficaj iciea on xms suiyeti, that you and I need to consider ? that there are onlv two styles of departure. A thousand feet under ground. by light of torch toiling in a miner's shaft, a ledae of rock may fall upon us, and we may die a miner's death. Far out at sea. falling from the slippery ratlines and broken on the halyards, we may die a sailor's death. On mission of mercy in hospital, amid broken bones and reeling leprosies and racing fevers, we may die a philanthropist's death. On the field of battle, serving God and our country, slugs through the heart, the gun carriage may roll over us. and we may die a patriot's death. But. after all. there are only two styles of departure?the death of the righteous and of the wicked, and we all want to die the former. God grant that when the hour comes you may be at home! You want the hand of your kindred in your hand. You want your children to surround you. You want the light on your pillow from eyes that have long reflected your love. You want the room still. You do not want any curious strangers standing around watching you. Yon want your kindred from afar to hear your last prayer. I think that is the wish of all of us. But is that all? Can earthly friends hold us when the billows of death come up to the girdle? Can human voice charm open heaven's gate? Can human hands pilot us through the narrows of death into heaven's harbor? Can an earthly friendship shield us from the arrows of deatn and in the hour when Satan shall Dractice upon us his infernal archery? No, no! Alas, poor soul. if that is all! Better die in the wilderness, far from tree shadow and far from fountain, alone, vultures circling through the air waiting for our body, unknown to men and to have no burial if only Christ would say through the solitudes. "I will never leave thee; I will never forsake thee." From that pillow of stone a ladder would soar heavenward, angels coming and going, and across the solitude .and the barrenness would comc the sweet notes of heavenly minstrelsy. What did the dying Janeway say? "I can as easily die as close my eyes or turn my head in sleep. Before a few hours have passed I shall stand on Mount Zion with the one hundred and forty and four thousand and with the just men made perfect, and we shall ascribe riches and honor and glory and majesty and dominion unto God and the Lamb." Dr. Taylor, condemned ( to burn at the stake, on his way thither broke away from the guardsmen and went bounding and leaping and jumping toward the fire, glad to go to Jesus and to die for ( Him. Sir Charles Hare in his last moment had such rapturous vision that he cried. , "Upward, upward, upward!" And so great was the peace of one of Christ's dis- j ciples that he put his finger upon the pulse in his wrist and counted it and observed its halting beats until his life had ended here to begin in heaven. But , grander than that was the testimony of tiin wnmnut first missionary when in the Mamartine dungeon he cricd: "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand! I have fought the good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day, and not to me only, but to all them that love His appearing!" Do you not see that Christ is above all in dying alleviations? , Toward the last hour of our earthly residence we are speeding. When I see the spring blossoms scattered. ! sav. "Another season gone forever." When I close the Bible on Sabbath nicht, I say, "Another Sabbath departed." When I bury a friend, , I say. "Another earthly attraction gone forever." What nimble feet the years have! The roebucks and the lightnings run not so fast. From decade to decade, from sky to sky, they go at a bound. There is a place for us, whether marked or not, where you and I will sleep the last sleep, and the men are now living who will with solemn tread carry us to our resting piace. Brighter than a banoueting hall through which the light feet of the dancers go up and down to the sound of trumpeters will be the sepulcher through whose rifts the i holy light of heaven streameth. God will watch you. He will send His angels to guard your slumbering ground until, at Christ's behest, they shall roll away the stone. So, also. Christ is above all. in heaven. The Bible distinctly says that Christ is the chief theme of the celestial ascription, all the thrones facing His throne, all the palms waved before HiB face, all the crowns down at His feet. Cheruhim to > cherubim, seraphim to seraphim, redeemed i spirit to redeemed spirit, shall recite the Saviour's earthly sacrifice. Stand on some high hill of heaven, and in all the radiant sweep the most glorious object will be Jesus. Myriads gazing on tne scars of His suffering, in silence first, afterward breaking forth into acclamation. The martyrs, all the purer fov the flame through which they passed, will say, "This is Jesus, for whom we died." The apostles, all the happier for the shipwreck and the scourging through which they went, will say, "'J his is the Jesus whom we prcached at Corinth, and in Cappadocia, and at Antioch. and at Jerusalem." Little children, clad in white will say. "This is the Jesus who took us in His arms and blessed us, and when the storms of the world were too cold and loud brought us into this beautiful place." The multitudes of the bereft will say, "This is the Jesus who comforted us when our heart broke." Many who had wandered clear off from (Jod and plunged into vagabondism, but were saved by grace, wiil say; "This is the Jesus who pardoned us. We were lost on the mountains, and He brought us home. We were guilty and He made us white as | snow." Mcrcy boundless, gr.-.ce unparal le.'e.'l. And then, alier cavn one rias rvtacu his peculiar deliverances and peculiar mercies, recited them as by solo, all the voices will corr.e together in a great chorus, which shall make the arches re-echo with the eternal reverberation of gladness and ntace and triumph. Edward T. was so anxious to go to ihe Iloly Land that when he was about to expire he bequeathed $1C0.(WI) to have his heart after his decease taken and deposited in the Holy Land, and his request was complied with. But there are hundreds today whose hearts are already in the holy land of heaven. Where your treasures are, there are your hearts also. John Bunyan, of whom I spoke at the opening of the discourse, caught a glimpse of that place, and in his quaint way he said: "And I heard in my dream, and. lo, the bells of the city rang again for joy. And as tbey opened the gates to let in the men I looked in after them, and, lo, the city shone like the sun, and there were streets of gold, and men walked on them, harps in their hands to sing praises with all. And after that they shut up the gates, which when I bad seen I wished myself among them." THE GREAT DESTROYER SOME STARTLING PACTS ABOUT TMF V/ITF" nr niTcnocDnuri: There Are More Arrests Tor Dmnlcenne** But the Drink Nuisance Is I'erccptiblj AliRtinc ? Tlie Blp Corporations Ar? DoinR Coo<l Work For Temperance. Are we in a state of moral and eocial decadence? It is possible just now to affirm the most radical theories of degeneration or to exploit the most optimistic prophecies. and in either case secure the attention of the public. Crossing the line from century to century encourages us to make much of the achievements of the past. Yet Nordau and Nietzsche do not, by any means, comprise the list of those who believe the literature and life of the nineteenth century closes in a state of degen* eration. The daily press has taken up, with special zest, the question whether our social habits have improved during the last fifty years, and especially whether drunkenness has been on the increase. The annual report of the Commission of Prisons for New York is quoted as evidence that there has been no decrease in our drinking habit, but an alarming increase. During one month of 1900 the commitment to penitentiaries, jails and workhouses in New York State for drunkenness reached the total of very nearly 33.000. while for all other causes the commitments were about 70,000. Statistics of other States are too generally of like character to allow us to call +his an exceptional report. It is a fact that arrests for drunkenness in the United States are on the increase. Does it follow that drinking intoxicants is not on the decrease? It is within the memory of our middle-aged men when railroad officials, from superintendents to conductors, and even porters, were accustomed to drink "with freedom. Now the least indulgence or the suspicion of indulgence secures the prompt discharee of such an employe, however valuable hi*3 oreneral services or experience may be held. It is understood purely as a business matter that a drinking man cannot be trusted with valuable property. Leave out the question of morals or put it in, as you please. It will not do. purely as a question of risk, to have a tippler as a railroad emnlove. It is not an open question whether drunkenness is treated with more severity than formerly by the Dolice. We know this to be the case. Fifty years ago one might meet men reeling along at mid-day or howling through the streets at niarht, while no special notice was taken of their condition, except to mock at them. There are few precincts, even in our larger cities, where this would be tolerated to-day. Public holidays invariably witnessed drunkenness and drunken brawls. Elections were especially under the influence of ctrrmir drinV Drunken men rppled to the polls. It is no mistake when we assert that drinking habits are on the decrease. An easy way to settle the question is to select any street in one of our country towns, and compare the habits of the inhabitants, house by house, with those of fifty years ago. It will almost invariably be found that, while the large majority of homes were then touched in some way with the manufacture, the sale, or the use of intoxicating liouors, the rule is now very largely the other way. This is not to deny that temperate drinking at social gatherings is on the increase. We believe that it is. The gain that has been made is mostly in the way of a cold business calculation. Drinking habits are held to ren- i der an employe unsafe. The railroad set an example which has been felt everywhere throughout the country. The decision is in favor of abstinence. The commercial man of to-dav meets an intenser and broader competition. He knows very well that he must have the entire possession of his wits, at least during business hours. He cannot otherwise compete in the huee struggle that involves millions. You will hardly find a drinking millionaire in the United States. He may be willing that others should drink, may prefer that they should, but during business hours he never indulges. Most of these men are total abstainers at all times. There is a Congressional bar, but there are no such drunken orgies in the Corirress of to-day as used to occur frequently in the years before the Civil War. We have no Governors in these days who are notorious for their drunken sprees. This was not the case fifty years aero, as we remember of Illinois and of Delaware and of other States. The men who give offenpe to the people as bosses are not drunkards. They are very FOber and eiear-neauea. ana generally highly moral in their habits. Society has no reason for lamentation over a decadence in sobriety,__ so far as we men see. The arrests for drunkenness do not mean that our drinking habits are on the increase. Most of this increase in arrests mu6t be set down to an increased regard for the decencies of society. Nowhere any longer is it tolerable that a drunken man Bhall sleep off his intoxication in public. We do not. in these days, speak of the drunkard as having fallen in the ditch. The figure as well as the fact are out of date. There is a humaner social sp>rit abroad that quickly removes him from jibes and exposure.?Christian Register. Need of Educution. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler say6: "Our success during the new century will depend, in my humble judgment, on the following methods and measures: (1) Unless people are educated and influenced not to use intoxicants, all legal attempts to prohibit their sale can achieve only a veiy limited success. (2) Pulpits, parents and schools (Sunday and secular) must do most of this educating. (3) The Church of Christ must tight the drink evil (which often means the damnation of souls) just as it fights theft, profanity or adultery. (4) The license system, a clumsy attempt to regulate a public mischief, ought to be abolished altogether. (5) Corporations and all employers ought to require abstinence from intoxicants as esseutia! to secure emploj'ment. (6) "Cofiee-taverns" and other social resorts where ardent spirits are excluded are available antidotes to the rum saloons among the laboring classes. (7) Every State should give to every town the right to close up by popular vote every drinking haunt witnin its borders. If tha twentieth century works these seven lev? ei^ it will give a mighty lift to the temperance reform." After A'jolinhiuj; Saloon*. Here is an illustration of the saving ac? coinplished in one town by the banishment of saloons. The savings bank deposits in Quincy, Mass., in 1S81 were $173,950. Ever since then Quincy has been a saloonlcss city, with the result in 1893 of C435 separate deposits in savings banks, aggregating $441,152. In 1881 only twenty-four houses were built; in 1K95, 157. During this period the population increased ninety-one per cent., but the money spent on the "poor" account decreased forty-six per cent., $15, 415 being expended in 1881 and only $8338 in 1895. In tne valuation of property there was an increase of 129 per cent. The Crunatle in Brief. America's greatest foe?The iiquor traffic. Lower the drink bill and you lower the taxes. Banish the sdoon and yu banish hard times. Professor Lornbroso, an eminent Italian student of crime, observes that it is a truth that with increase in wages, orur.Kenness an iu accompanying crimes also increase. Alcohol is oxidized rapidly in the body. 16 not stored in the body. Is a product of decomposition of food-material within living protoplasms and in the absence of or scarcity of oxygen. In Belgium it is estimated that spirits are responsible for from twenty-five per cent, to twenty-beveu per cent, of uil crimes. Twenty-six thousand three hundred and twelve British subjects are engaged ia brewing, and just half that number in the book trade. Judge 1'aft, of the present commission, defends the closing of the Manila saloons on Sunday in these words: "This might not be necessary were it not for the presence of American soldiers." Ferri found that although crimes agajnst the person decreased greatly from lo27 to 1869 in the months between August and December, in the month of November, when the new crop of wine is ready, the crimes of assault and murder increased tremendously. . . ...
