Christ la Arisias From Iho Abuse of the : i World?His Kame the Most Popular on j Earth?Scoffers Have Ilecome Worship- j era?Infidels Return to God. > Washington, Feb. 23.?This sermon ! I sounds tho note cf triumph, a note that ! all will be glad to bear in these times, ! when eo many are uttering and writing jeremiads of discouragement. Dr. Talmage took a? his text Genesis xlix, 10, "Unto him shall the gathering of the people be." Through a supernatural lens, or what I might call a prophoecope, dying Jacob looks down through the corridors cf the centuries until he sees Christ the center cf all popular attraction and the greatest being in ail the world, so everywhere acknowledged. It was not always so. The world tried hard to put him down 3 t- i,;? T.. ioftii I I UliU IU ^Ug JLiAlli UUt. UJU J X?VV, while excavating for antiquities 53 miles northeast cf Rome, a cooper plate tablet wa3 found containing the death warrant of the Lord Jesns Christ, reading in this wise: "In the year 17 of the empire cf Tiberius Caesar, and on the 2oth of March, I, Pontius Pilate, governor cf the Prcetore, ccndenm Jesus of Nazareth to die between two thieves, Quintans Cornelius to lead him forth to the place cf execution." The death warrant was signed by several names. First, by Daniel, rabbi Pharisee; secondly, by Johannes, rabbi; thirdly, by Raphael; fourthly, by Capet, a private citizen. This capital punishment was executed according to law. The narco cf the thief crucified on the right hand side cf Christ was Disrnas. The name cf the thief crucified on the j left hand side cf Christ was Gestas. Pontius Pilate describing tiie tragedy says the whole world lighted candles from noon until night. Thirty-three years cf maltreatment. They ascribe his I birth to bastardy and hi3 death to ex- j cruciation. a wall cf the city, built about those times and recently exposed by archaeologists, shews a caricature cf Jesus Christ, evidencing the contempt in which he was held by many in his day, that caricature on the wall representing a cress and a donkey nailed to it and under it the inscription, "This is the Christ whom the psoplo worship." But I rejoice that that day is gone by. Our Christ is coming cut from under the world's abuse. The most popular name on earth today i3 the name of Christ. Where he had cno friend Christ ha3 a thousand friends. The scoffers have become the worshipers. Of the 20 most celebrated infidels in Great Britain j rmr rlnv 1 fi have come hack ro Christ. trying to undo the blatant mischief of their lives?10 out- cf the 20. Every man who writes a letter or signs a document, wittingly or unwittingly, honors Jesus Christ. Wo date everything as B. C. or A. D.?B. C., before Christ; A.

Ko sensible man cr healthfully ambitious man i3 satisfied with his past life. A fool ! may think ho is all right. A sensible j man knows ho is not.

I must somehow get things readjusted. I must somehow have the past reconstructed. There are I days and months and years which cry ! out against me in horrible vociferation." : Ah, my brother, Christ adjusts the past j by obliterating it. He does not erase j the record of cur misdoing with a dash j of ink from a register's pen, but lifting j his right hand, crushed, red at the palm, he puts it against his bleeding ; brow and then against his pierced side, ! and with the crimson accumulation of all those wounds ho rubs cut the accusa- | tory chapter. He blots out our iniqui- ! ties. Oh, never be anxious about the j future; better be anxious about the : past! I put it not at the end of my ser- j men; I put it at the front?mercy and j pardon through trbiloh, the sin pardon- j i ing Christ. "Unto him shall the gath- i I ering of the people be." "Oh," says some man, "I have for -10 years been as : bad as f could be, and is theie any mer- ! cy for me?" Mercy for you. "Oh, "says \ some one here, "I had a grand ancestry, 1 the holiest of fathers and the tenderest ; of mothers, and for my perfidy there is i no excuse! Do yon think there is any mercy for ine?" Mercy for yon. "But," says another man, "I fear I have committed what they call the unpardonable lin, and lho Bibio says if a in an commit that sin ho is neither to be forgiven in this world nor the world to com.?. Do you think there is any mercy for me?" The fact that you havo any solici- j tude about the matter at ail proves posi- j tively that you have not committed the i unpardonable sin. Mercy for yon: Oh, the grace of God which bringeth salvation ! Gcd'a Mercy Immeasurable. The grace of God! Let us take the j surveyor's chain and try u measure j God's merry through Je.-us Christ. Let one surveyor take that chain and go to Threw Avr&y Eis Canes. Mr. D. Wiley, ex postmaster. Black Creek, X Y, was so badly alH'.cte.l J with rheumatism that lie was only able to bobble around with cane?, ! and even then it caused him great pain. After using Chamberlain's ! Pain Balm he was so much improved that he threw away his cants. He j I says this liniment did him more good mJ ^ CO I than all other medicines and treat- j | ment put together.

Clifford, Now Cassel, Wis., was troubled with Neuralgia and Kheu- j matisin, his Stomach was disordered, ! his Liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and j he was terribly reduced iu flesh and j strength. Three bottles of Electric j Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, ITarrisburg, ' 111., had a running sore cn his leg of j eight j ears' standing. Used three j bottles of Electric Bitters and seven ' boxes of Bucklcn's Arnica Salve, and I his leg is sound and well. John ! Speaker, Catawba, O., had live large , Fever soies on his leg, doctors said j he was incurable. One bottle Elec- j trie Hitters and one box Buckien's Arnica Salve cured him entirely, j Sold at the Bazaar. the north, and . that chain and go an | ether surveyor tako lha: chain and go tw tbc east, an?] another surveyor take that chain and go to the west, and then make a report of the squaro miles of that vast kingdom cf God's mercy. Ave, ycu will have to wait to all eternity for tho report of that measurement. It cannot be measured. Paul tried to climb the height of it, and ho went height over height, altitude above altitude, mountain above mountain, then sank down j in discouragement and gave it up, for he saw Sierra Nevadas beyond and Matterhorns beyond, and waving his hands back to us in the plains ho says, "Past finding out; unsearchable, that in all things he might have tho pre-eminence.'' Ycu notice that nearly all the sinners mentioned as pardoned in tho Bible were great sinners?David a great sinner, Paul a great sinner, Rahab a great sinner, Magdalene a great sinner, the prodigal son a great sinner. The world easily understood how Christ could pardon a half and half sinner, but what the world wants to be persuaded of is that Christ will forgive the worst sinner, the hardest sinner, tho oldest sinner, the most inexcusable sinner. To the sin pardoning Shiloh let all the gathering of the people be. But, i remark again, mo people win gather arotni l Christ as a sympathizer. Oh, wo all want sympathy! I hear people talk as though they were independent cf it. None of us could live without sympathy. When parts of our family are away, how lonely the house seems until they all get home! But, alas, for those who never come homo. Sometimes it seems as if it must be impossible. I What, will their feet never again ccmo over the threshold? Will they never I again sit with us at the table? Will j they nover again kneel with ns at rami- j ly prayer? Shall we never again lock into their sunny faces? Shall we never again on earth take counsel with them for our work? Alas me, who can stand under these griefs? Oh, Christ, thou canst do mere for a bereft soul than any cue else! It is he who stands beside us to toil of the resurrection. It is he that came to bid peace. It is ho that ccmes to us and breathes into us the spirit of submission until we can look up from tho wreck and ruin of cur brightest expectations and say,"Father, not my will, but thine, be done." Oh, ye who are bereft, ye anguish bitten come into this refuge! The roll cf those who came for relief to Christ is larger and larger. Unto this Sliiloh cf omnipotent sympathy the gathering of tho people shall be. Oh, that Christ would stand by all these empty cradles and all these desolated homesteads and all these broken hearts and persuade us it is well! Christ'* Sympathy. The world cannot offer you any help j at such a time-. Suppose tho world j comes end off era you money. Ycu woum j rather live on a crust in a collar and j have your departed loved ones with yon i than live in palatial surroundings and they away, happose the world offers you its l;onor3 to console you. What is the presidency to Abraham Lincoln when little Willie lies dead in the White House? Perhaps the world comes and says, "Time will cure it all." Ah, there are griefs that have raged on for 80 years and are raging yet. And yet hundreds have bet-u comforted, thousands j have been comforted, millions have been comforted, and Christ had douo j the work. Oh, vhat you want is sym- j pathy ! The world's heart of sympathy! beats very irregularly. Plenty of sym- j pathy when wo do net want it, and of- j ten when we a^o in appalling need of it ; no sympathy. There are multitudes of | people dying for sympathy?sympathy j in their work, sympathy in their fa- j tigues, sympathy in their bereavements, sympathy in tleir financial losses, sym- ! pathy in their physical ailments, sympathy in their spiritual anxieties, sympathy in the time of declining years? j wide, deep, high, everlasting, almighty j sympathy. \Y; must have it, ami L'hnst ; gives it. Thai) is the cord with which 1 he is going 10 draw all nations to him. i At the story cf punishment a man's eye flashes, and his teeth set, and his j fist clinches, and ho prepares to do but- | tlo even though it be against the hcav- ; ens. Yet what heart so hard but it will ! succumb to the story of compassion! Even a man's sympathy is pleasant and j helpful. When we have been in somo hour of weakness, to have a brawny J man stand beside us and promise to see us through, what courage it gives to our j heart, and what strength it gives to our j arm. Still mightier is a woman's sym- j pathy. Let him tell the story who, when all his fortunes were gone and all j the world was against him, came homo and found in that homo a wife who j could write on the top of the empty flour barrel, "The Lord will provide," J or write on the door of the empty wardrobe : "Consider the lilies of tho field. j If Clod so clothed tire grass of the field, will ho not clothe us and ours?" Or let that vor.ua man tell tho story who lias gone the whole round of dissipation. The shadow of the penitentiary is upoji him, and even his father says: "Be oil! >?ever come home again 1" The young man finds still his mother's arm outstretched for him. and how* sho will stand at the wicket of the prison to w hisper consolation or get down on her knees before the governor begging for pardon, hoping on for her wayward boy alter all others are hopeless. Or let her teli the story who, under villainous allurement and impatient of parental re strainr, has wandered off from a homo of which she was the idol into the murky and thunderous midnight of abandonment, away from God, and further away until some time she is tossed on the beach of that early home a mcie splinter of a wreck. Who will pity her now? Who will gather these dishonored 1 locks into her lap? Who will wash off the blood from tiro gashed forehead? Who will tell her of that Christ who camo to save the lost? Who will put j that weary head upon tho clean white I pillow and watch by day and watch by j night until ihe hoarse voice of the suf- i ferer becomes tho whisper, and tho i whisper becomes only a faint motion cf the lip3, and the faint motion of the : lip* is exchanged for a silent loc-k, and tho cut fret are still, and tho weary eyes are still, and tho frenzied heart is still, and all is stili? Who will havo compassion on her when no ethers havo compassion? Mother! Mother! A Glorious Saviour. Oh, there i t something beautiful in sympathy?in manly sympathy, wifely { sympathy, motherly sympathy, yea, and ! neighborly sympathy! Why was it that a city was aroused with excitement when a little child was kidnaped from one of the streets? Why were whole columns of tho newspapers tilled with tho story of a irttlc child? It was because > we arc all one in sympathy, and every I parent said: "How if it had been my : Lizzie? How if it had been my .Mary? How if ir bad been my Maud? How if it had been my child? How if there had been one unoccupied pillow in enr trundle bed tonight? How if my little ono ?bone of my bone ami flesh of mv flesh ?were tonight carried captive into some den of vagabonds, never to como back to me? How if it had boon my sorrow looking out cf the window watching and waiting?that sorrow worse than death?" Then when they found her, why did wo declaro the news ail through the households, and everybody that knew how to pray said, "Thank God:" Because wo are all one, bound by cue great golden chain of sympathy. Oh, yes, but I have to tell yon that if you will aggregate all neighborly, iuauiv, wifely, motherly sympathy, it will be found Guly a poor starving thing compared with the sympathy of our great ichiloh, who has held in his lap the sorrows cf the ages and who is ready to nurse on his holy heart the woes of all who will come to him. Oh, what a God! What a Saviour wo have! But in larger vision see the nations i in some kind of trouble ever since the world was derailed and hurled down the embankments. The demon of sin came to this world, but other demons have gone through other worlds. Tho demon cf conflagration, the demon of volcanic disturbance, the demon of destruction. i La Place says he saw one world in the northern hemisphere 1G months burning. Tyebo Braho said ho saw another world burning. A French astronovmpv s.nvs that in 200 rears 1 _."00 worlds i ; havo disappeared. I do not see why infidels find it so hard to believe that two worlds stopped in Joshua's time, when the astronomers tell us that 1,500 i worlds have stopped. Even the moon is a world in ruins. Stellar, lunar, solar i eatastrophes innumerable. But it seems as if the most sorrows have been reserved for our world. By one toss of the world at Ticuboro, of 12,000 inhabitants only 2G people escaped. By one shake of the world at Lisbon in five minutes 00,000 perished, and 200,000 beforo thy earth stopped rocking. A mountain falls in Switzerland, burying the village of Goldau. A mountain falls in Italy in the night, when 2,000 people are asleep, and they never arouse. By a convulsion i of the earth Japan broken ctr from Chi- i na. By a convulsion of the earth the < Caribbean islands broken oif from Amer- j ica. Three islands near the mouth of ! the Ganges, with 340,000 inhabitants? a great surge cf the sea breaks over them, and 214,000 perish that day. Alas, alas, for our poor world ! It has ; been recently discovered that a whole < continent has sunk, a continent that connected Europe and America?part of the inhabitants cf that continent going i to Europe, part coming to America ever j the tablelands of Mexico, up through j ; tho valleys of the Mississippi, and wo are finding now the remains of their ; mounds and their cities in Mexico, in i Colorado an:l the tablelands of the west. It is a mat lor cf demonstration that a whole continent has gone down, the Azores off the coast of b'pain only the 1 highest mountain cf that sunken continent. Plato described that continent, its grandeur, the multitude of its inhabitants, its splendor aud its awful de- : strucrion, and the world thought it was a romance, but archaeologists havo found cut it was history, and the English and the German aud the American fleets havo gone forth with archaeologists, and tho Challenger, and the Dolphin, aud tIre Gazello have dropped anchor, and in deep sea soundings they have found tLo contour cf that sunken continent. Tlia Rock cf Arrcs. Oh, there is trouble marked cn tho rocks, 011 the sky, on the sea, on tho flora and the fauna! Astronomical trouble, geological trouble, oceanic trouble, political trouble, domestic trouble, and standing in the presence of all those stupendous devastations I ask if I am uot right in saving that the great want of this age and all ages is divine sympathy and omnipotent comfort, aud they -wo found uot in tiie Brahma of the Hindoo cr tho Allah of the Mohammedan, but in the Christ unto whom shall tho gathering cf the people be. Other worlds may fall, but this morning star will never be blotted from the heavens. The c-arth may quake, but this rock cf ages will never be shaken from its foundations. Tho sumo Christ who fed the 5,000 will feed ail the world's hunger. Tho Ghvisf who cured Bartimeus v.'ili illumine ail blindness. Tlie saino Christ who made the dumb speak will ?

The same Christ who awoke Lazarus from the sarcophagus wiil yet rally all -the pious dead in glorious resurrection. "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and that "to him shall the gathering of the people be." Ah, my friends, when Christ starts thoroughly and quickly to lift this miserable wreck of a sunken world it will not take him long to lift it. I I have thought that this particular 1 age in which we live may bo given up to discoveries and inventions by which I through quick and instantaneous com- j mnuicatiou all cities and all communi- j tics and all lands will bo brought to- j gether, and then in another period per- ! haps these inventions which have been ; used for worldly purposes will be j brought oul for gospel invitation, and some great prophet of the Lord will j come and snatch the mysterious, sublime r.nd miraculous telephone from the { band of commerce, and, all lands and kingdoms couuected by a wondrous ; wire; this prophet of the Lord may, through telephonic communication, in j an instant announce to all nations pardon and sympathy and life through Jesus Christ, and then, putting the j wondrous tube to the car of the Lord's j prophet, the response shall a^me back, j "I believe in God, tho Father Almighty, ! Maker cf heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son." Yon and I may not live to see tho , day. I think those of us who aro over 40 years cf age can scarcely expect to see the day. I expect before that time our bodies will bo sound asleep in the hammocks of the old gospel ship as it goes sailing on. Bat Christ will wake us up : in time to see the achievement. We who j have sweated in tho hot harvest fields will no it tho rtnnr nf 1 ho frmvif.r wliftri 1 ho sheaves come in. That work'for which in this world wo toiled and wept and struggled and wore ourselves out shall J not come to consummation and we be oblivious of the achievement. We will ( ' be allowed to come out and shake hands with tho victors. We who fought in the earlier battles will have just as much right to rejoice as those who reddened their feet in tho last Armageddon. Ah, yea, those who could only give a cupful j ; of cold water in tho name of a disciple; thoso who could only scrape a handful of lint for a wounded soldier; those who could only administer to old age in its decreptitudo; those who could only coax a poor waif of the street to go back homo to her God; those who could only lift a little child in the arms of Christ, , will have as much right to tako part in the ovation to the Lord Jesus Christ as a Chrysostom. It will be your victory and mino as well as Christ's, ho the conqueror, we shouting in his train. Christ the victor will pick out the hum- j blest of his disciples in the crowd, and turning half around cn the white horse i i of victory he shall point her out for approval by the multitude as ho says, i "She did what she could." Then put- ; ting Ins hand on the head of some man, who by his industry made ono talent do the work of ten, lie will say: "Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over ten cities." ; ' Two different theories about the fulfillment of this promise. i ' Gathering of tho Foople, nt..? j-tiyiu ulo pewjjju \v uu iniua. vuljov will come in person and sit on a throDO. i Perhaps lie may.

Oh, what a glorious time it would be on i earth if Christ would break through tho j heavens, and right hero where ho lias suffered and died have this prophecy fullilled, "Unto him shall the gathering of the people be."

These great governments were carrying on the political side and bringing the governments step by step to each elevation in succession being superior iu force aud energy to the ones it had overthrown and prepar ing for that great event which was being hurried ou and carried out in the various types and symbols of the Hebrew family, the birth of the promised Messiah. This was the crowning coronation to that time ct both of the Hebrew and the Gentile * Tii- _ _ I'l.'.-i 3 i: : systems, xue political auu leng uas were running side by side and the Gentile world and its history were only so many convulsions of its systems to prepare for this great event, when a king was to be bora in the time of the Ro uan kings as the fulfilment of Jevi-j'i ceremonies. Abraham was a Bab}Ionian, being from Ur of Chaldea or Babylonia and the Jew through all his eventful history could never been cured of his Babylonian inclination to mystery and supc stition, and Providence only succeeded in curing that inclination to idolatry after the wreck of the ten tribes by Assyrian captivity and almost the ruin of the two remaining ones by the Babylonish impris onment which lasted seventy years till released by the military supremacy of Cyrus, the Great, who freed the Hebrews from their long imprisonment and sent them home to rebuild the temple and Jerusalem. Every Bible reader is familiar witli the miraculous way by which Joseph, was brought to Egypt by the treachery of his brethren and how that, led to his elevation to office and power, and also to the emigration of his aged father, Jacob, and his brethren and their families to Egypt. At that time the Hebrew family num bered seventy souls, and during their sojourn of two hundred and fifty years this family had so increased that they numbered nearly 3,000,000' r\f rinrmlp At, the time thev left; ? ? Egypt for Caanan there were over twice as many people as there are in South Carolina all told, and yetfor forty years this vast multitude of human beings were daily fed b\r bread from heaven. In fifty days after they left Egypt they reached Alt Sinai and there they camptd for about ten months while the tabernacle and its furniture were being arranged by divine instructions, principally by two men t-> ' whom God had given the gift and in genuity to work in gold, silver anu brass. Here also was arranged the j sacred Ark and its designs, to go- j before in the pilgrimage to the prom- ( ised land. Here was made the bra zen altar on which were to be offered j the various sacrifices and offerings of j the Hebrew dispensation. Here also was given that woudeiful code know as the Hebrew Law and which has formed more or less the basis of thetaws of all civilized nations. Here was really the birth place of thatwonderful people, the Hebrew nation alitv. Taking Joshua as his minisfor from hero "Moses commences his famous march through the wilderness for the land promised his fathers more than four and a half centuries, before. There was fault finding and discontent all through till about one year more it burst forth into open rebellion on the very verge of their long looked for home, and in sight of j that sacred land, when the report of J the spies was made to the assembled multitude after a careful inspection of forty days. Two faithful servants made a minority report. Joshua and Caleb reported that it was a goodly land and by adherence to God's i promises, the giants and Sons of j Anak could be overthrown and the j land possessed in safety. Caleb and j Joshua made speeches to that infuri- 1 ated crowd which had determined to j elect a new Captain and return to ! Egypt. These speeches only infuriated the mob the more aud they came near killing Joshua and C.ileb in spite of Moses protests against it. Every one should read carefully the j graphic description given by the I writer of that journey and be con- j vinced how foolish and insane a mob ! can be and how little can be relied j * " i l I on the reason, wisdom ana lair piay | of such a crowd.

Josh da asked him who he was whether for the Israelites or opposed to them and was very much amazed when the soldier replied that he was an angel from heaven and was Com- j rnander in-Chief of this army. Something of the magnitude of this armf nan be seen when one thinks that if all the soldiers at any time in the service of the Confederate States during our bloody civil war we: e ar rayed in one army it would not make a multitude so large as the army cf ; actually enlisted soldiers that Joshua i commanded at the time of this invasion. After the death of Joshua this people went through various scenes of distress and prosperity. Distress always followed their idolatrous practices and prosperity and independence always returned, on "their re turn" back to good law. Idolatry the Bible pictures as the crowing sin and with it was always associated GoTs frowns on the blind idolater. The people at length requested of ; Samuel a king and after much besita- I tion on Samuel's part God directs ! him to give them their wicked desire, ! and a3 a result King Sail1 was on- I throned. But Saul's heart was ! wrong and instead of seeking the j elevation of his people and the ful- j hlment of instructions he sought j his own welfare and his own elevation 1 and bis own death at Mfc. Gil boa 1 placed God's choice of kings on 'he ' throne. King David sought the ele- 1 vation of the morals of his subjec's and enjoyed the Divine favor c'ui.'n : | his life. His reign, and that of 1 is j son Solomon, was the Golden Age of Israel. At Soloin. nV death, the [ kingdom was divided?Judah an i j Benjamin made one kindom and the 1 other ten tribes, the second kiugdom. For idolatry the ten tribes were carried away by Assyrians and ether citizens from foreign lands brought back to bve in their cities and houses These are known as the lost tribes of Israel and have disappear? 1 from political history. The kingdom of Judah remained several centuries 1 with various reverses of fortune and condition liil by the command j and intervention of Providence they i were carried by the King of Babylon into imprisonment. It was during this imprisonment the Prophet Daniel be- < came Prime Minister to the Babylonish kingdom and afterwards chief i counsellor to the King of Media, and was removed to its capital Echalana and on the subversion of the Median i government by Cyrus, the Great, he was removed to the Persian capita1, ! 1 an 1 became a third time the chief i among the statesmen. It was during , this period that that beautiful pic- [ turein ihe life of Esther occurred, , a id when a poor orphan Jewish girl, j * became the wife of the Persian King, j , Wnat other power than that of God ! could aave so wonderfully made j Esther queen where she could give j s ich assistance to the icbuilditig the j city of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple and at the time and just as prophecy had foretold. Que<.n IV her thus gave to the Jew his second nationality and by this second nationality idolatry has been unknown and God by his providence had (radicated this evil from Jewish heart. At the birth of Christ the Jews weie subjects of the Romau government and their religion Christ told them had dwindled into more formalism. But the time had now come ' when the old system should get new life and the significance of the types. &c, of Jewish ceremonies was to be set foit'n in its full light. I) mid had told the simple minded king that by his dream, m the lime of the j Roman kings, the king sin uiu be born to whose reign and dominion there should be no cud. But this j v#?iorn and dominion should be a Stril it ual one but work the ruin and over- ! throw of the ie:;t. The temporal hfo of Christ ended in that last eventful week of his life at the Passover at Jerusalem. He came to the little village of Bethany. ' two miles from Jerusalem, on Friday night and spent the next day, Satur day, in quiet life in Bethany. Com- ! mencing on .Sunday morning he went daily over into Jerusalem and back into Bethany at evening. The fury , against him was daily increasing till j Tuesday in which he spoke iu many parables, amongst which was the ie- | markableone of the wicked husband ; man.

To show the wisdom and foreknowledge of Jesus, any one has only to rc-ad on a little further and read that the Holy Spirit so shortly after this commanded the church at Aotioch to send foith Paul and Barnabas as missionaries to preach the rules and regulations of this new government. Antioch was a Genliie church. It was compost d of those energetic Greeks. It was a Gentile church that did the first missionary work in New Testament. The Jew Lai his day and failed to make the best of nis opportunities, and the Gentile has succeeded to t!ie inheritance ol the Jew to give religious enlighlment to the wo"ld and to elevate the sons of a nic-n. Christianity is freedom in the ^ broadest sense of the term. It begets in man a love of civil freedom aud where true Chiistianity exists men will fjo- themselves from servitude and to Christianize any land is but to remove the shackles of governments. Christianity is aggressive and progressive, and has never lived to its best estate in anonprogressive civil government. A non progressive power can never compete with a progressive one. That would be going backwards and revolutions never do that. The religious and political U_ ffiO'e easily and quickly elevated in a progressive government and in any struggle the interests of both God o o and man are centered in the success of the more progressive of two hostile nations. This is veritably true of parties and factions as well as of n it ions. The mo e progressive force i f nnv kind is mire of ultimate sue cess a (1 \vi!l triumph in the end. Ti;e Old Testament and history writer in saying that from the time of tbe Egyptian down through that of Assyria, Eahylon, Media, Persia, Greece and Rome, that in each case the old petrified opinions and usages of nations had to fall before the progress of a new government inspired by the realities of a new day. Judaism was self reliant and was satisfied with standing still and content with its traditions. Christian ity is a conquering force, it is a revotionarv influence which can't be long resisted but finds its progress and , influence greatly restrained or a4i??vanced by the powers that be and the influence and surroundings. The struggle for the moral, spiritual and political elevation of man has to Le made through the tivil government and is advanced or retarded according to the condition of that government, and if conditions civily are not conclusive to man's elevaticD, the verdict of a revolution is that the government must change bands. Revolutions can't move backwards. That is contrary to all its intentions, and each revolution his always left man's condition elevated and his best interests advanced. Revolutions are the convulsions of a system that needs 1 relief; they are the rheumatic cor.- % tortious of the nerves which are cry- ?J iug out for purer blood and will not V be quieted by temporary reliefs. A 1 purging of ail impurities from the ' system and a return to the natural condition is all that can give ease and relief to the troubled body. It takes the care and supervision of a skillful physician. A government is the organism through which we speak, move and have an existence, and if that is corrupt, or fails to cany out the best interests of the system, troubles of course mast ensue and restoratives will be applied and as the severity of the disease v.ill depend the heroic treatment the doctor will administer. Dotage and palsy may seize the body politic and it becomes necessary to L * call in the physician to rectify. Paralysis may seize the mcmbc-rs also and be indication of an impossibility to cure and to warn the vic.:... " __ .t:, K? t. 11 a <ji nil viiuy uisuicujueimcuu It is a sajing that great occasions produce great men. This is only conditionally true. The history of the Jewish family and their connection with the Gentile world show that great occasions only develop the great characters that God had raised up for that occasion. In this sense a great occasion produced a Joseph and a Moses, a King David, a prophet Daniel and a Queen Esther. A great occasion produced Cyrus the Great, Darius, Alexander and Julius C:e ;ar. A great occasion produced a Virgin Mary and an Infant Christ, a Simon Peter and a Saul of Tarsus. In modern governments this is-^??. equally true. XipoGn was a necessity in Europe; Cromwell in England and Washington in America. A great occasion produced John Calvin and Martin Luther. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson and the other fratriers of our constitution met a grave occasion and gave that inimitable production not only to America but to the,world. Ti ~ ;11 ? 1.^..,.

And whatever we may think of Abraham Lincoln the world gives him a place among the groat heroes of the past. To me there is something instructive iu the life of this man.
