Thei e have been grand enterfainmen ts where was a taking off-the wine gavc out, or the servunis were rebellious, or the lhght. failed, but 1 have gt ne al around about this subject and looked a' the redemption which Christ has pro vided, and I come here to) tell you it nt .complete, ad I swingz open the door o the feast, telling you that "all thing aire now ready." In the first place, I have to announci - that the Lord Jesus Christ himself is ready. Cardmnal Wolsey came into the feast after the first course. He canme in booted and sptirred, and~the guests arouc and cheered himu. But Christ comes in at the very begin ning of the feaet-aye, he has been waiting I,8,94 years for his guests. lie has been standIng on his mangled feet. ie has had his sore liat1 on his punctured side, or he has beeni pressing his lacerated temples-waitit t waiting. It Is wonderful thatt he has not bhut impatient, and that Ihe has not said. "Bhut the door, andt( let the laggard stay out," but he htas been waIting. No bani queter ever waited for his iuests so patiently as Christ, has waited for us. To prove how willing lhe is tot ieceive us I gather all the lears that rolled down his cheeks in1 sympalithy for your sor rows.

There are not enough cups in heaven to dip up this ocean of beauty. There are not ladders enough to scale this height of love.

It is this one, infinitely fair, to whom you are invited. . Christ t waiting for you, waiting as a banqueter waits for the delayed guest-the meats smoking, the beakers brimming, the minstrols with Ongers on the still string, waiting for the clash of the hoofs at the gateway.

But one fragment lodged on him coilt sleeve, and he saw on it the word "t ternity," and he found no peace muiil he was prepakred lor that great fu .uro. Do you know what passage it was that caused Martin Luther to see Ae trut-? "The just shall live by faith." Do you know there is one just one-passage that brought Augus t,inao from it life o0 dissapation? "I't ye on the Lord Jetus Christ and make no provisiou for the flesh to fulfill the luta thereof." it was just one passage that converted Hediey Vicars, the ereal 01dier, to Christ, "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin." Do vor know that the Holy Spirit used one pas. siage of Scripture to save Jonathan Ed warh? "llow unto the King eternal i(mmartal, invisible, the only wise God our Saviour, be glory." One year apo on Thanksgiving day I read for any text, "Oh, give thanks un. i to the Lord, for he is good; for his morc . endureth fover." And there is i Soung man in the hou.se to whose heart tho Hly Spirit took that text for his eternal iedemption. I night speak o my own case. I will tell you I was brought to the peace of the gospe through the Syro-Phwenician woman'i cry to Christ. "Even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the master's ta ble,"' 1)o you know that the Holy Spiril always uses insignificant means? Emo qluent sermons never save anybody; metaliy~sical sermons never save anty body1'; phlilosop~hiian sermons never save anybody. lBut tho minister comes somo Sabbath to his piulpit, worn out with on cagetments and the jangling of a frenzied dloorll; lhe has only a text and two or three ideas, but he says: "0 Lord 11011 me! Hero are a good many people I may never meet again. 1 have not much to say. Speak thou through my poor lips," and before the service in dlone there are tearful eyes andi a solem. mity like the judrement. The great French orator, when the dead king lay before him, looked up and cried, "God only is great." Anid the tiumitphh of his eloquence has been told by the hiotorians. But I have not heard that one soul was saved by the oratoric al flourish. Worldly critica may think that tihe early preaching of Thomas Chalmers was a muasterpiece, But Thomas Chalmers says he never began to preach until lie camne out of the sick~ room, white and emaciated, and( told men the simple story of Je~sus. In the great (lay of eternity it will be found that the most souls have been br ought to Christ nit bly the Bossuets and Massillous and Bourdaloues, but by humble men, whlo in the strength of G d and believing in the sternal Spirit, in vited men to Jesus. There were wise salves, there were excellent ointments, I suippose, in the time of Christ for blind or it.ilmed eyes. But Jhus turned ils back upjonl them anid put tile tipi of his liuger to his tongue and then Witih tile spitale that tidheredI to tile finger lie anioted tihe eyes of the blind man, and daiylighit poured mito his blinded soul. So it ns now thlat the spirit of God takes iumble prayer meleting tatk, which se ems to be thie very saliva of Christian mlfluence, and~ anloints the eyes of the blind and pourn the sunlight of ptrdl oil and)( peaIce upon the soul. Oh, myV friend, I wishl we could feel it more amnd more that, it any good is done it, is by the power of God's omip~totenit pitti. I do not know what h',imn may brmg von to Jesus. I (d0 not know what, words of the scripture ksuons I read may save your soul. Perhaps lhe spirit, of God may hurl the very text imto your heart, "Come for all thmngs are no(w ready." Agam', the church is ready. O man if I could take thbe curtaini off these Chirist tum hearta, I could show you a great many tinxietieu for your redemption. Y on tkink that old man is asleep, be caiuse his head is down and his eyes are shut. No; he is praying for your re dlemp~tion andl hoping that thle words sp~oken may strike your heart. Do you know the air Is full of prayer? Do you know that prayer is going up from Ful tort street p-ayer meeting and from Fri day evenling prayer meeting and going up every hour of the day for thue redem tion oi the people? And If you should just start toward the door of tile Christ tan church how quickly it would fly open! H undreds oi people would say: "Give I that man room at the sacrament.

Again, the angels of God are readS A great many Cnristians think that th, talk about angels is fanciful. You sa it is a very good subject for theologi cal students who have just begun t sermonize, but for older men i# is im proper. There is no more proof il that Bible that there i a'God than tha there are angels. Why, do not the swarm about Jacob's ladder? Are w not told that they conducted Lazaru upward; -that th3y stand before th throne, their faces cOvered up witi their wings, while they cryF, " Holy, ho ly, 1a the Lord God" Almighty ?" Di( not, David see thousands and thous ands? Did not one angel slay 186,00 men in Sennacherib's army? An< shall they not be the chief harvester at the judgment ? There is a line of loving, holy, migh ty angels reaching to heaven. I sup pose they reaich from iere to the vor gate, and when an audience is assem bled for Christian worship the air li full of thom.

The re sponse comes melting on the air, "Come, for all things are now ready!' Angels ready to bear the t.idings, an gels ready to drop the benediction, an Reis ready to kindle the joy.

I pronounci modern spiritualism a fraud and sham. If John Milton and Georg Wbitefieid have no better business that to crawl under a table and rattle th leaves, they had better stay at home it glory. Wt ile I believe that moder spiritualism is bad, because of its men tal and domestic ravages, commo sense, enlightened by the word of God teaches us that our friends in glorl sympathize with our redemption. This Bible says plainly there is joy it heaven among the angels of God ove: one sinner that repenteth. And if an gels rejoice and know of it, shall no our friends, standing among them know it? Some of these spirits it glory toiled for your redemption When they came to die, their chie grief was that you were not a Chris tian. They said, "Meet me In heaven, and put their hands out from the cove and said, "Goodby." Now, suppos you should cross over from a sinful lif to a holy life. Suppose you should bE born into the kingdom. Suppose yot should now iay: "Farewell, 0 deceit i ful world! Get thee gone, my sin Fie upon all the follies! 0 Christ, hell me or I perish! I take thy r:omise I believe thy word. I enter thy ser. vice." Suppose you should say and do this, Why, thle angel sent to you wvould shout upward, "Ite is coming!" and the angel, poising higher In the air, would shout ft upward, "ie is coming!" and it would run up all the line of light from wingto wing and from trumpet to trumpet until it reached the gate, and then it would flash to "the house of many mansions," and it would find out your kindred there, and before your tears of repentance ha-i beeni wiped from the cheek and before you had fin ished your first prayer your kindred in glory would know of it, and another heaven would be added to their joy, and they would cry; My prayers are answered. Another loved one saved, Give me a harp with which to strike the joy. Saved, saved, saved I" 1f I have shown you that,~ "all things are ready;" that Christ is ready; that the 11oly Spirit is ready; that it church is ready; that the ab gels in glory are ready; that your gloriflied Kinldred1 are ready, then with all the concentrated emphamsis of' my soul I ak you if you are ready ? You see mny subject throws the whole responsi bilIity upou yourself. If you do not get into the King's banquet, it is be cause you do not accept the invitation. You have the most importunate invi tation. T wo arms stret ched down from the cross, soaked in blood from elbow to finger tips, two lips quivering in mortal ang uish, two eyes beaming with infinite love, saying, "Come, come, for all things are now ready." I toli you that when the queen camne to Xenilworth cast le they stopped all the clocks, that the inger of time might be pointed to that happy mo ment of her arrival. Oh, if the King would come to the castle of your soul, you might well afford to stop all the clocks, that the hanids might forever point to this mnoment as the one most bright, most blessed, most tremendous. Now, I wish I could go around from circle to circle and invite every one of you, accordling to the invitation of my text, saying, ' Come!" I would like to take every one of you by thre hand and say, "Come)" Old man, who hast :,een wandering 60 or 70 years, thy sutt almost gone down, through the dust of the evening stretc il out your witherod hand te Christ.

Christ saw thee where thou went last night. Hie knows of thy sin. Yet, if thou wilt bring thy poluted soul to him this moment, he will throw over it the mantle of his pardon and love.

Grib GENERai, A GENTS I 'A FINANCIAL DISCUSSION. rhe B3ond Issue the 8019 Tople in the () Senate. 0 WASUINGTON, Jan. 31.-Among the g numerous remonstrances presented this d moning in the Senate against various yi oortions of the Wilson bill, was a batch ti from religious societies, asking that the ti tax on whiskey be trebled. it After the routine norning business, a the Vice President laid betore the Sen. it ate Stewar's resolution, declaring that P the secretary of the Treasury is not legally authorized to issue and sell bonds, p and Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska, made an t< argument in opposition to that of Sher- c' mat, yesterday, He denied the claim sa that the power given In the resumption n acti was a contlaulng power, and said d 0hat Ulilanguage of the act did not jus. si Lttyt'iat- construction - It proved for a a 1ingle act of redemption and provided h ,bat tbe Secretary of the Treasur y might sftue, soil ad dispose of government )onds for the purpose c1 making the re lemption contemplated by the act, being Phe surplus over $800.000,000 of Trea. iury notes, or about'*75,000,000. When ;hat redemptioq was made,. the incidsnt )f power to issue bonds ceased with it. The debate took a colloquial turn., 'In -ply to the questions from Democratio Senators. Allen held that so tar as exist. ng, legislation goes, the Treasury is not iow bound to redeem the Treasury 'jotes, that the Secretary of the Treasury 3ever bad the power to redeem notes below the $00,000,000 standard, and that he does not possess that power to. lav. And there never has been a time o the hi -tory of these legal tender notes, when he was possessed of the slightest ,power to redeem them below 4300.000. )00, and that the act of 1878 was in tended to prevent the redemption of the legal tender notes-the greenbacks. Stewart came into the colloquy to say 'hat he held views Identical with Allen. Vilas said that the logical result of &llen's and Stewart's' position is "that he $95,000 000 of bonds that were issued it that time were illegally Issued-at east, all of them in excess of $75,000,. )00."1 "Not at all." Allen replied. "I have nade no claim of that sort. I may do io alter awhile." Hoar said that in his opinion the bonds , ssued and held by the Treasury Depart- * nent under existing circumstances, will )e illegal. Gorman thought it was unwise and I inlortunate to raise this question at this t ime. Nobody in either house ques. 1W inned the right of the Secretary to issue )onds under the act of 1875 for redemp. . ,ion purposes. There was no question but that it vas necessary at this time to relieve he Treasury Department. Personally ie had bellived that the Treasury was Lot authorized to sell bonds and to ap ily the proceeds to any other purpose han as provided in the act ot 1875. d Mr. Hoar: "Does the Senator !think t lawful to use the proceeds of these ionds to pay current expenses? IsIt iot better to get a way in the law to do a t than to do it without law?" Gorman-My belief has always been hat the lund arising trom the sale of ionds can be used only as proyidedin he act of 1875. We have inherited a reat many things from the other side, mnd among them, an opinion from the Attorney General of the last adminis. ration to the Secretary of the Treas iry that the money derived from the ale of bonds was merged into the gen ral funds of the Treasury, with the "ght to use it for the general purposes. b that when we came into power, we ound this (as I think) vicious prece ent, and we, in the distressed condi- ii ion of the Treasnry, are not to be held esponsible for following you in that ci natter. Voorhees, chairman of the finance ir ommittee, said that on one point he vas in harmony with Sherman; that a' vas his acknowledgment of the power >f the Secretary of the Treasury to act is lhe was doing.* Daniel of Virginia, asked Voorhees whether there was any purpose now to asue bonds for purpose of redeeming Voorhees-The proposition to issue yonds concerns nothinur but the author- d ty of law-neither affirming nor deny ng what use is to be made of the mon. V iv, and I take it that that cannot be in liired into until atter the money is iecured bhy'the saie of the bonds. Daniel-I suppose there is no impro ?riety in making an itiquiry oi the head )f the finance committee. Voorheos-Gertainly not; I say here, .oday; with the~ a nall reputation I may lave-here as a lawyer, that the courts ivill hold that the Secretay of the Treas iry has the: absolute, unqualified power ;o issue the bonds. Daniel-Unlimited by the purpoe de Ined it the law? Voorhees-Unlimited by that purpose. P.hero is no purpse proclaimed. D~aniei-Has the Secretary of the r'reaury the right to issue bonds with. >ut entertaie the purpose to use them icolly in the line of the law? Voorbees-Whenever the Senator rem Viraimia fiads that, the Sec'retary >t the Treasury is going to use this * noney contrary to his view, there will le time for him to go to the courts and estrain him. I hold, with the Secore ary, that he can use this money in any vay that seems to him proper and con luctive to the general purpose of the act , >f 1875.c Hawley, Republican, of (3onnecticut, losed today's discussIon with an im assioned arraignment of the Democratic 9 arty for mischief wrought by a proposed a hange of' tariff' laws at this time.
