(It Appears That Rev. Dr. Talmajfe Overatndied Law, bat When the World Lost a Great Advocate It Gained a Greater Preacher. Washington, Aug. 16.?Theillustra- 1 tions of this sermon arc drawn from the scenes in a courtroom, with which Dr. Talmage became familiar when he was studying law, before he studied for the ministry. The text is I John ii, 1, " We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous." Standing in a courtroom, you say to yourself, "At this bar crime has often been arraigned; at this witness stand the oath has often been taken; at this jurors' bench the verdict has been rendered ; at this judge's desk sentence has been pronounced." But I have to tell you today of a trial higher than any oyer and terminer cr circuit or supreme or chancery. It is the trial of every Christian man for the life cf his souL This trial is different from any other in the fact that it is both civil and crimiThe issues at stake are tremendous, and I shall in my sermon show you first what are the grounds cf complaint, r then who are the witnesses in the cause and lastly who are the advocates. When a trial is called on, the first r ? thing is to have the indictment read. I Stand up then, O Christian man, and hear the indictment of the court of high . 1 r.: f heaven agamsc my suui. uu<uj uiuivi? ment of ten counts, fcr thou hast* directly or indirectly broken all the Ten Commandments. Yon know how it thundered on SiDai, and when God came down how the mountain rocked, and the smoke ascended as from a smoldering furnace,and the darkness gathered thick, and tho loud, deep trumpet uttered the words, "The soul that sinneth, it shall dio!" Are you guilty or not guilty? Do not put in a negative plea too quick, for I have to announce that' 'all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is none that doeth good; no, not one. Whosoever shall keep the whole law, yet offend in one point, ho is guilty I of all." Do not, therefore, be too hasty i in pronouncing yourself not guilty. A IJrokeD Contract. jg This lawsuit before us also charges : ? you with the breaking of a solemn contract Many a time did we promise to be the Lord's. Wo got down on our knees and said, "O Lord, I am thine now and forever." Did you keep the I promise? Have you stood up to the conI ! tract? I go back to your first commuI nion. You remember it as well as if it I I were yesterday. You know how the f $ vision of tbo cross rose before you. Ycu remember how from the head, and the hands, and the side, and the feet there t M came bleeding forth these two words, "Remember me." You recall how the |cup of communion trembled in your hand when you first took it, and as in a 1 seasbell you may hear, or thiDk you I bear, the roaring of tho surf even after chrll Iim fceen taken from the beach, i .g so yon lifted thecupof communion, and u| yon beard in it the surging of the great I ocean of a Saviour's agony, and you I came forth from that communion servjwK ico with face shining as though you had wT been on the mount of Transfiguration, m and th^ very air seems tremulous with | the love of Jesus, and the woods, and I & the leaves, and the grass, and the birds [ J v were brighter and sweeter voiced than |M ever before, and ycu said down in the 3? very depths of your soul, "Lord, thou Jcnowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee." Have ycu kept the bar.f" gain, O Christian man? Have you not V sometimes faltered when you ought to ^ have been true? Have you net been [J| proud when you ought to have been humble? Havo you not played the cow\c ard when you ought to have been the | hero? I charge it upon you, and I charge I it upon myself?wo have broken the I contract. |[ Still further, this lawsuit claims damages at your hands. The greatest m slander on the Christian religion is an II inconsistent professor. The Bible says Jreligion is one thing; we, by our inconsistency, say religion is seme other thing, and what is more deplorable about it is that people can see faults in others while they cannot sec any in themselves. If ycu shall at any timo ^ find seme miserable old gossip, with imperfections from the crown of her head to the sole of her foot, a perfect --S -rT* blotch cf sin herself, she will go tattling, tattling, tattling all the years of her life about the inconsistencies of others, having no idea that she is inconsistent herself. God save the world from the gossip, female and male! I think the males are the worst! Now the chariot of Christ's salvation goes on through the world; but it is our inconsistences, my brethren, that block up tho wheels, while all along the line there ought to have been cast nothing but paint branches, and tho shout should havo been lifted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!'; Now you havo heard the indictment read. Are you ready to plead guilty or not guilty? Perhaps you are not re-sdy yet to plead. Then the trial will go on. The witnesses will be called, and wo shall have the matter decided. In the name of God I now make proclamation: OyezIOyez! Oyez! whosoever hath anything to offer in this trial in which God is the plaintiff and the Christian soul the defendant, let him now step forth ind give testimony in this solemn trial. Call the Witnesses. The first witness I call npon the stand in behalf of the prosecution is the world?all critical and observant of Christian character. You know that there are people around you who perpetually banquet on the frailties of God's children. You may know, if you have lived in the country, that a crow cares for nothing so much as carrion. There are those who imagine that out of the faults of Christians they can make a bridge of boats across the stream of death, and they are going to try it. But alas for the mistake! When they get midstream away will go the bridge and down will go their souls to perdition. O world of the greedy eye and the hard heart, come on the stand now and testify in behalf of the prosecution against this Christian soul on trial. What do you know about this Christian man? "Oh," says the world, ''I know a great deal about him. He talks about putting his treasures in heaven, but he is the sharpest man in a trade I ever knew. He seems to want us to believe that he is a child of God, but ho is just full of imperfections. I do not know but I am a great deal better than he is now. Oftentimes he is very earthly, and ! he talks so little about Christ and so j much about himself. I am' very glad to testify that this is a bad man." Stop, O world with the greedy eye ! and hard heart I fear you are too much i interested in this trial to give impartial evidence. Let all those who hear the testimony of this witness know that there is an old family quarrel between these two parties. There always lias been a variance between the world and the church, and while the world on the witness stand today has told a great deal of truth about this Christian man, you must take it all with much allowance, remembering that they still keep the old grudge good. O world of the greedy eye and the hard heart, that will do; you may sit down. The second witness I call in this case is conscience. Who art thou, O conscience? What is your business? Where were you born? What are you doing here? "Ob," says conscience, "I was born in heaven. I came down to befriend this man. I have lived with him. I have instructed him. I have warned him. I showed him the right and the wrong, advising him to take the one and eschew the other. I have kindled a great light in his soul. With a whip of scorpions I have scourged his wickedness, and I have tried to cheer him when doing right, and yet I am compelled to testify on the stand today that he has sometimes rejected my mission. Oh, how many cups of life have I pressed to his lips that he dashed down, , and how often has he stood with his j hard heel on the bleeding heart cf the [ Son of God! It pains me very ranch that I have to testify against this Christian man, and yet I must, in behalf of ; him who will in no wise clear the j guilty, say that this Christian man has j : done wrong. He has been worldly. He j has been neglectful. He has done a j j thousand things he ought not to have j done and left undone a thousand things , ho ought to have done." That will do, ! | conscience. You can sit down. Important Testimony. The third witness I call in the case is | an angel of God. Bright and shining i : one, what doest thou here? What hast i thou to say against this man on trial? "Oh," says the angel, "I have been a ! messenger to bira. I have guarded him. J I have watched him. With this wing I i have defended him, and oftentimes, when he knew it not, I led him into green pastures and beside the still waters. I snatched from him the poisoned chalices. When bad spirits came upon him to destroy him, I fought them back with infinite fierceness, and yet I havo to testify today that he had rejected my ! mission. He has not done as he ought I to have done. Though I came from the i sky, he drove me back. Though with this wing I defended him and though with this voice I wooed him, I have to announce his multiplied imperfections. I dare not keep back the testimony, for I T -I 1 J .

" There is only one more witness to bo called on behalf of the prosecution, and that is the great, the holy, the august, the omnipotent Spirit of God. We bow down before him. Holy Spirit, knowest thou this man? "Oh, yes," says the Holy One, "I know him. I have striven with him 10,000 times, and, though sometimes he did seem to repent, he fell back again as often from bis first estate. Ten thousand times 10,000 has he grieved me, although the Bible warned him, saying: 'Grieve not the Holy . Ghost. Quench not the Spirit.' Yes, he has driven me back. Though I am the third person of the Trinity he has trampled on pit mission, and the blood of Condensed Testimony. Cbas. B.

Gehento, Miss , May 6th, 1892. Although I never used any secret remedies before, I prescribe St. Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice as I would any prescription of my own compounding, and any physician who will do the same will be greatly pleased at the results achieved. In my opinion it is superior to all others and has been especially useful to me in Rheumatic and Scrofulous cases. R. M. KITTREL, M. D. For further information call at Julian E. Kauffmann's drug store and ask for a pamphlet entitled. "A Treatise on the Blood." 42, the atoncineut that I brought with wfncn to cleanse nis souj ne someumve despised. I came frcm the throne cf God to convert and comfort and sanctify, and yet look at that man and see what he is compared with what, unresisted, I wouM have made him." The evidence on the part of the prosecution has closed. Now let the defense bring on the rebuttal testimony. What have you, O Christian soul, to bring in reply to this evidence of the world, of the conscience, of the angel and of tho Holy Ghost? Noevidence? Are all these things true? "Yes. Unclean, unclean," says every Christian soul. What? Do you not begin to tremble at the thought of condemnation? Summing Pp. We have come now to the most interesting part of this great trial. The evidence all in, the advocate^ speak. Tho profession of an advocate is full of responsibility. In England and the United States there have arisen men who in this calling have been honored by their r^co and thrown contempt upon those who iu the profession have been guilty of a great many meannesses. That profession will be honorable as long as it has attached to it such names as Mansfield and Marshall and Story and Kent and Southard and William Wirt. The courtroom has sometimes been the scene of very marvelous and thrilling things. Some of you remember the famous Girard will case, where one of our advocates pleaded the cause cf the Bible and Christianity in masterly Anglo-Saxon, every paragraph a thunderbolt. Some of you liavo read ot tne iamous trial in Westminster hall of Warren Hastings, the despoiler of India. That great man had conquered India by splendid talents, by courage, by bribes, by gigantic dishonesty. The whole world had rung with applause or condemnation. Gathered in Westminster hall, a place in which 30 kings had been inaugurated, was one of the most famous audiences ever gathered. Foreign ministers and princes sat there. Peers marched in, clad in ermine and gold. Mighty men and women from all lands looked down upon the 6ccne. Amid all that pomp and splendor and amid an excitement such as has seldom been seen in any oourtroom Edmund Burke advanced in a speech which will last as long as the English language, concluding with this burning charge, which made Warren Hastings cringe and cower: "I impeach him in the name of the commons house of parliament, whose trust he has betrayed. I impeach him in the name of the English nation, whose ancient honor he has sullied. I impeach him in the name of the people of India, whose country he has turned into a desert. And, lastly, in the name of human nature, in the name of both sexes, in the name of every age and rank, I impeach him aa the common enemy and oppressor of all." But I turn from the recital of these t-i. : 1 memoraDJt? wraumus iu a ^i?i:un iwm, and I have to tell you that in this trial of the Christian, lor the life of his soul, the advocates are mightier, wiser and more eloquent. The evidence all being iu, severe and stern Justice rises on behalf of the prosecution to make his plea. With the Bible open in his hand he reads the law, stern and inflexible, and the penalty, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Then he says: "O thou Judge and Lawgiver, this is thine own statute, and all the evidence in earth and heaven agrees that the man has sinned against these enactments. Now let the sword leap from its scabbard. Shall a man go through the very flames of Sinai unsinged? Let the Jaw be executed. Let judgment be pronounced. Let him die. I demand that he die!" O Christian, does it not look very dark for thee? Who will plead on thy side iu so forlorn a cause? Sometimes a man will be brought into a court of law, and he will have no friends and no money, and the judge will look over the bar and say, "Is there any one who will volunteer to take (bis man's case and defend him?" And 6ome young man rises up and says, "I will be his counsel," perhaps starting on from that very point to a great and brilliant career. Now, in this matter of the soul, as you have nothing to pay for counsel, > 11...4 ... ... :i 1 ..s.In,, UO JOU lUillh. 11141 auj wic n in iuiuuleer? Yes, yes; I see cue rising. He is a young man, only 88 years of age. I see his countenance suffused with tears and covered with blood, and all the galleries of heaven are thrilled with the spectacle. Thanks bo unto God, "we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." O Christian soul, your case begins to look better. I think, perhaps, after all, you may not have to die. The best advocate in the universe has taken your side. No ono was ever so qualified to defend you. He knows all the law, all its demands, all its penalties. He is always ready. No new turn of the case can surprise him, and he will plead for you for nothing as earnestly as though you brought a world of treasure to his feet. Besides that, he has undertaken the case of thousands who were as forlorn as you, and he has never lost a case. Courage, O Christian soul! I think that, after all, there may be some chance for you, for the great advocate vicps to nuik-e his nlea. Hesavs: "lad mit all that has been proved against my client. I admit all these sins, aye, more; but look at that wounded hand of mine and look at that other wounded hand, and at my right foot and at my left foot. By all these wounds I plead for his clearance. Count all the drops of my tears. Count all the drops of my blood. By the humiliation of Bethlehem, by the sweat of Gethsemane, by the sufferings of the cross, I demand that he go _ree. On this arm he hath ; leaned; to this heart he hath flown; in ! my tears ho hath washed; on my righfrI eousness he hath depended. Let him go free. 1 am the ransom. Let him escape the lash; I took the scourgings. Let the cup pass from him; I drank it to the drees. Put on him the crown of life, for I have worn the crown of thorns. Over against my throne (f shame set his throne of triumph!" i The Judgment. Well, the counsel on both sides have ; 1 gpokeu, and there is only one more thing now remaining, and that is the awarding of the judgment. If you have j 1 ever been in a courtroom, you know the silence and solemnity when the verdict 1 is about to be rendered or the judgment about to be given. About this soul on trial?shall it be saved or shall it be lost? Attention, above, around, beneath! ( All the universe cries, "Hear, hear!" The Judge rises and gives this decision, never to be changed, never to be revoked: "Thero is, therefore, now no ' condemnation to them who are in 1 Christ Jesus." [ Tho soul ths t on Jesus liath leaned for repose I will not, I will not, desert to bis foes. That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake. I'll never; no, never; no, never, forsake. But, my friends, there is coming a day of trial in which not only the saint, but the sinner, must appear. That day of trial will come very suddenly. The farmer will be at the plow, the mer- i chant will be in the count'tig room, the j woodman will be ringing bis ax on the hickories, the weaver will have his foot 1 On the treadle, the manufacturer will be walking amid the buzz of looms and the clack of flying machinery, the counsel may be at the bar pleading the law, the minister may be in the pulpit plead- 1 ing tho gospel, the drunkard may be reeling anna nis cups ana me ruasputmer with tlie oath caught between his teeth. Lo! The sun hides. Night comes j down at midnoon. The stars appear at . noon today. The earth shudders and throbs. There an earthqnako opens, and a city sinks as a crocodile would crunch -| a child. Mountains roll in their sockets and send down tlicir granite cliffs in avalanche of rock. Rivers pause in their ] chase for the sea, and ocean, uprearing, cries to flying Alps and Himalaya. Beasts bellow and moan and snuff up I the darkness. Clouds fly like flocks of ^ iwift eagles. Great thunders beat and boom and burst.

' Oh, on that day 1 will you be ready? 1 I have shown you how well the Chris- t tian will get off in his trial. Will you get off as well in your trial? Will Christ plead on your side or against you?

There are troubles which come to us, and some which we must meet and endure at the call of duty; there are others which we go out of our way to seek. These are what I mean by borrowed troubles The mother of a certain little boy gave him a dime to spend. On his way to the store, it somehow slipped from his fingers and rolled away out of sight. He searched aud searched, but it was of no use, the coin was nowhere to be found. Here was a sad misfortune. He wept with sorrow and vexation. Presently a kind woman, touched bv these signs of woe, stopped to in quire what the matter was, and, on learning of his loss, she opened her purse and gave him 10 cents. Eagerly the boy grasped the kindly gift, his eyes brightened, a smile bf gan to creep into the corners of his mouth, and then, all at once, he broke out into fresh lamentations. "Why, what is the matter now?'' exclaimed his astonished benefactor. "Haven't you got your 10 cents?" "Yes," sobbed the lad; "but oh, if only I'd got the one I've lost, too, then I should have 20 cents!" He had suffered loss, and it had been fully made up to him. That ought to have ended the difficulty; but no, he must needs go back to what had been settled and atoned i for and borrow trouble out of the past?a morbid, unreal, phantom trou ble. And such is the strange constitution of the human mind that these phantoms are often capable of pro- j ducing as much disturbance, misery j - and unnappiness as real ana genuine calamity. We see this occasionally in sickness. Iilness is always a bard thing to . bear, a serious misfortune; but do we not sometimes see it made much more serious and much more hard to bear, i by vain imaginings, by useless excur- J sions into the expences of other people, by a minute and constant * thinking on things that never happen, ( we endeavor to cross the bridge of illness before we reach ir. ??

Mackey, was a boy 16 years of age, living with lis j father in Charleston. He and two c k comrades, as young as himself, were e eager to enter the conflict, and, hav- ing heard that the Lancaster Greys, after serving on the coast for about a month, had been ordered to Vir- ^ ginia, the young men joined that j command and when the company finally left the coast young Mackey and bis comrades accompanied the Jj boys in grey. ^ Young Mackey, by bi3 gallantry, j. endeared himself to every member j g of the command as well as in the regiment and was esteemed as being as brave a man as ever drew a sword. He was wounded in 18C3 at the battle of Chickamauga on the occasion r of the memorable effort made by Gen. j Jenkins at midnight to capture a t wagon train and when out of 218 t men he lost 10G. This wound dis . abled young Mackey from further , active service, but he was given a place in the commissary department , at Richmond. When the war had ended young Mackey's whereabouts was unknown to his old comrades and nothing had been heard of him until the recent reunion at Richmond, when Dr. W. J. White, an old comrade, met him r accidently in one of the hotels. He at once made inquiry of all the "boys" and, being told that Messrs. Joe Ha- 1 gins, Ben Dunlap and T. C. Beckham, of his old command, were living in ( Rock Hill, he determined then to 1 make a visit to these gentlemen to ( recount old memories and renew the ( strong friendships made in camp and 1 on the battlefield. ( Last Monday Mr. Mackey came to * Rock Hill and it is certain that there was never a warmer, happier meeting than when he shook the hands of his old comrades. He was full of joy to be with them again. After thirty- ' three years he had made this visit as one of love, and his old friends were J indeed happy to be with him. Mr. ( Mackey went to Lancaster Tuesday to meet other comrades and return- i ing to Rock Hill went to Columbia i < Thursday to again clasp the hand of Col R- M. Sims. Ho will return to * Rock Hill to-day and spend to-morow ( with his old friends. < Mr. Mackey is a lawyer and practices in Washington.

Nearly every city of any size between Sew York and Chicago has asked lim to make a stop and without ex:eptioD. the invitations have come rom leaders of Democratic organisations. Mr. Bryan shows no surprise this < norning at the newspaper stories 1 hat the New York State Democratic >rganization had decided to support lim. He did reflect a little bit on he statement that Senator Hill had ^ .old Mr. Danforth that he would sup)ort and work for him (Mr. Bryan). 3e said in relation to that question: . 'It is not Senator Hill's custom to ^ ipeak through others, and I doubt if Itlr. Danforth gave out a statement lurporting to be made by Senator f Jill. The Senator will probably nake bis own announcement." It was said hei e today on very good mthority that Senator Hill will take >art in the demonstration in honor if Mr. Bryan at Albany on Tuesday light. The statement needs authenication, howtver. The receipt of a letter from leader Jheehan of Tammany asking Mr. Bryan to speak in New York added mother chain to the circumstances eading up to belief of a thorough inowledge between Mr. Bryan and he New York Democracy. The published statement that Richard Croaker had approved Mr. Jheenan's and Tammany's course in ndorsing Bryan caused the candilate a great deal of satisfaction.

The loyalty cf a well-bred pointer dog to his work is remarkable. A writer in The American Field gives the following instance: "More than a month ago I was returning home from Old Dominion's Kennel at White Post, Va, with my latest purchase, Comrade, and while visiting my cousin in Elkhart, 111., one morning, ho wanted rae to kill him some plovers. I drove out on his farm, taking Comrade with me. I saw a bunch of plovers and tried to sneak up to them, but they flusbed, keeping Comrade at heel, the birds flying close to some osage orange brush. While creeping up again I missed the dog, and looking back I saw him on a staunch point (one of those twisted pcints, with his body one way and his head tho other;. Not knowing that he was pointing I walked i ^ck and before I bad taken eight steps the dog jumped back and changed his position but held his point. I then ran up and to mj surprise heard a rattlesnake, which had struck the dog and was ready to strike again when I shot. Just after shooting close to the snake out flew a Bob White. The dog held, stood, ever rushiDg, but watched the bird fly away. I then went to my spriDg wagon, and drove as fast as I could to the town of Elkhart. There I procured a pint of whiskey, mixed it with a pint of milk, and gave it to Comrade. The dog then became drowsy, fell asleep, and never awoke until next morning, apparently none the worse for the snake bite. He is at present here with me in good condition, not showing any effect at all of the bite, but just a small scar above the eye." m t 1 <1 V 1 1 fl *, O /V 1 me oia renaDie owjii & i^unney parlor matches, (brown head) never draw damp and fail to fire, are on sale at the Bazaar.
