It Appeared to III Ml?Sermon from tit* Text t "Ve Are Iloaght vrltti a Price." [Copyright, 1901, by l,ouls Klopsch, N. T.J Washington, March 31. In this discourse Dr. Talmage shows the Messianic sacrifices for the saving of all nations and spenks of Gcthsemau* as it appeared to him; text, I. Corinthians 0:20: "Ye are bought with a price." Your friend takes you through his valuable house. Y'ou examine the archea, the frescoes, the grass plots, the flsh ponds, the conservatories, the pnrks of deer, and you say within yourself or you say aloud: "What did all this cost?" Yon n r>r?stlv diamond flashing- in an earring, or you hear a costly dress rustling across the drawing-room, or you sec n high mettled span of horses harnessed with silver and gold, and you begiu to make an estimate of the Talue. The man who owns a large estate cannot Instantly tell you all It in worth. He says: "I will estimate o much for the house so much for the furniture, so much for laying out the grounds, so much for the stock, so much for the barn, so much for the equipage, adding up in all making this aggregate." Well, my friends, T hear so much about our mansion in Heaven, about its furniture and the grand surroundings, that 1 want to know how much it is all worth and what has actually been paid for it. 1 cannot complete in a month nor a year the magnificent calculation, but before I get through to-day I hope to give you the figures. "Ye are bought with a price." The first installment pnid for the clearance of our souls was the ignominious birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Though wo may never be carefully looked after afterward, our adTent into the world is carefully guarded. We came into the world amid kindly attentions. Privacy and silence are afforded when God launches an immortal soul Into tho world. Even the roughest of men know enough to Rtand buck. But I here to tell you that in tho village on the aide of the hill there was a very bedlam of uproar when Jesus was born. In a village capable of accommodating only a few hundrod people many thousand people were crowded, and amid hostlers and muleteers and camel drivers yelling at stupid beasts of burden tha Messiah appeared. No silence. No privacy. A better adapted place hath the eaglet in the eyrie, hath the whelp in the lions' lair. The axilo of Heaven lieth down upon straw. The first night out from the palace of Heaven spent in an outbouse. One hour nfter laying aside the robes of Heaven dressed in a wrapper of coarse linen. One would have supposed that Christ would have made a more gradual descent, comlug from Heaven first to a half-way world of great magnitude, then to Caosar'a palace, then to a merchant's palace in Galilee, then to a private home In Bethany, then to a fisherman's hut aud last of all fo n stable. No! It was one leap from the top to the bottom. Let us open the door of the caravansary in Bethlehem and drive away the camels. Pass on through the group of idlers and loungers. Whut, 0 Mary, no light? " No light," she says, "save that which comes through the door." What, jKary, no food? "None," sho snys, "only that which was brought In the aofc on the journey." Lot the Bethlehem woman who has come in hero with kindly attentions put back the covering from the babe that wo may look upon it. Look! Look! Uncover your head. Let us kneel. Let all voloes be hnahed. Son of Mary! Son of GodI Child of a day! Monarch of eternity! In that eye the glance of a God. Omnipotence sheathed in that Babe's arm. That voico to be changed from the feeble plaint to the tone that shall wake the dead. Hosanual IXoHanna! Glory to God that Jesus came from throne to manger that we might rise from manger to throne, and that ull the gates are open, and that the door of Heaven that once swung this way to let Jo a us out now swings the other evayt? let us in. Let all the bellmen of Heaven lay hold the rope and ring out the news: "Behold, I bring you flad tidings of greut joy, which shall ee to all people, for to-day is born In the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord!" The second Installment paid for our soul's clearance was the scene in Quarantania, a mountainous region, full of eaveras, where are to-day panthers and wild beasts of all sorts, so thut tou must now go there armed with kmlfe or gun or pistol. It was there that Jesus went to think and to pray, and it was there that this monster of hen?more sly, more terrible, than anything that prowled in that country ?Satan himself, mot Christ. The rose in the ekeck of Christ? that Publius Lentullus, in his letter to the Iloman senate, ascribed to Jesus? that rose had scattered its petals. Ab tinence from food had thrown him Into emaciation. A loner o from food recorded in profane history la that of the crew of the hip Juno. For 23 day# they had nothing to a&t. But this sufferer had fanted a month and ten days before he broke faat. Hunger mufct have agonized every Ab?r of the body and gnawed on the tomaoh with teeth of death. The thought of a morsel of brea*l or meat TiQot have thrilled the body with aomebififf like ferocity Turn out a puck of tnop hungry as Christ was a-hungercd, 0.nd if thev had ?tr/?nr?tV wMli ore What It Would Do. The Bom oolleoted by tho internal re vente bureau under the provisioi 0 of the war revonue aot, from Jono 13, 1898, when the aot, went into effoot, to February 28 1901, was 1281,311,515. This sum of mon< y would have built an inter-oeeanic eanal, opened the arid lands of tho west to cultivation by a b>b tern of irrigation and made navigable every desirable waterway in the oountry. And who will deny that those investments would have been better ones than the war for whioh this money has been spent in the far east??Atlanta Journal. y?ll they vrould detour you as ft kid. It vra!i in that pang of hunger that Jesus was accosted, and satan wild: "Now, change these stones, which look like bread, into an uctual supply of bread." Had the temptation couie to you and me under thoie oircumstances we would hat? cried: "Bread it shall be!" und been almost impatient at the time taken for mastication, but Christ with one hand beat bnck the hunger ond with tho other hand beat back the monarch of dftrkness. O ye tempted ones! Christ was tempted. Wo are told that Napoleou ordered a coat-ofmoll made, but he was not quite certain that it was impenetrable, so he said to the manufacturer of tho coatof-mall: "Put it on now yourself and let us try it." And with shot after shot tired from his own pistol the emperor found that it was just what it pretended to be, a good coat-of-mail. Then the man received a large reward. i mess uon umi tlio snutu ooai-oimail that struck back the weapons of temptation from the head of Christ we may now all wear, for Jesus comes anil says: "I have been tempted, and I know what it is to lie tempted. Take this robe that defended mo and wear it for yourselves. I shall see you through all trials, and I shall see you# through all temptation." "Rut," says Satan still further to Jesus, "come, anil I will show you something worth looking ut." And after a half day's journey thfey came to Jerusalem and to tho top of the temple. Just as one might go up in the fbwer of Antwerp and look ofT upon Belgium, so Sutan brought Christ to the top of the temple. Some people at n great height feel dizzy and n strange disposition to jump. So Satan comes to Christ In that very crisis. Standing there at the top of the temple, they looked off. A magnificent reach of country, drain fields, vineyards, olive groves, forests and streams, cattle in tho valley, flocks on the hills and vilages and cities and realms. "Now," says Satan, "I'll make a bargain. Just jump ofT. I know it is a great way from the top of the temple to the valley, but if you are Divine you can fly. Jump otT. It won't hurt you. Angels will catch you. Your Father will hold you. Resides, I'll mnkc you a large present if you will. I'll give you Asia Minor, I'll give you China, I'll give you Ethiopia, I'll give you Italy, I'll give you Spain, I'll give you Germany, I'll give you Britain, I'll give you all the world." What n temptation it must nave ueen: The third installment paid for our redemption was the agonizing prayer in Gethsenianc. As 1 sat in that garden nt the foot of an old gnarled and twisted olive tree the historic scene came upon me overwhelmingly. These old olive trees are the lineal descendants of those under wliioh Christ stood and wept and knelt. Ilnve the leaves of whole botanical generations told the the story of our Lord's agony to their successors? Next to Calvary the solcmnest place in Palestine is Gethficmnne. While sitting there it seemed as if I could hear our Lord's prayer, laden with sobs and groans. Can this be the Jes\is who gathered fragrnnce from the frankincense brought to His cradle and from the lilies that flung their sweetness into His sermons and from the box of alabaster that broke at his feet? Is this Jesus the comforter of Bethany, the resurreotor at Nain, the oculist at Hethsaida? Is this the Christ whose frown is the storm, whose smile is the sunlight, the spring morning Ilis breath, the thunder His voice, the occau a drop tin the tip of His linger, Heaven a sparkle on the bosom of nis love, the universe the dust of His chariot wheel? Is this the Christ who is able to heal a heartbreak or hush a tempest or drown n world or flood immensity with His glory? Behold Him in prayer, the globules of blood by sorrow pressed through tho skin of His forehead! What nn installment in part payment of the greatest price that was ever paid! Ths fourth installment paid for our redemption was the Saviour's sham trial. I call it a sham trial?there has uon uccu nu^' ij1111ku maecpiii or unfair in any criminnl court ns was witnessed at the trial of Christ. Why, they hustled him into the courtroom at two o'clock In the morning. They gave I.I 1 m no tlin? for counsel. They gave him no opportunity for subpoenaing witnesses. The ruffians who were wandering around through the midnight, of course they saw the arrest and went into the co\irtrooin. But Jesus' friends were sober men, were respect.'ible men, and at that honr, two o'clock In tho morning, of course they were at homo asleep. Consequently Christ entered the courtroom with the ruffians. Oh, look at 111ml No one to speak a word for Him. I lift the lantern \in* til I can look Into His face, and as my heart beats in sympathy for this, the best friend the world ever had, Himself now utterly friendless, an officer of the courtroom comes up and smites llim in the moiith, and I see the blood stealing from gum and lip. Oh, it was a farce of a trial, lasting only perhaps an hour, and then the judge rises for sentence! Stop! It is against the law to give sentence unless there haH been an adjournment of the court between condemnation and sentence, but what cares the judgo for the law ? "The mun has no friends. Let Him die," says the judge. And the ruffinns outside the rail cry: "Aha, aha, that'B what we want! Pass Him out here to us! Away with Him I Away with Him!" Oh, I bless Qod that amid all the injustice that may have been inflicted upon us in this world wc have a divine sympathizer. The world cannot lie - U i. * unuuv you nor aousc you as much as they did Christ, and Jeaus stands today In every courtroom, in every house, in every store, and says: "Courage! By all my hours of maltreatment and abuse I will protect those who are trampled upon." And when Christ forgets that two o'clock morning aoene In Mark Hanna's Town. Tom L. Johnson's suoooss in being oleoted mayor of Mark Hanna's town shows tho vsluo of a strong personality and tho usefulness of oonviotions. The Honorable Tom is a froo trador. and singlo taxor in national politios and advocates 3 cents fares on munioipal oar linos. Ho has mado money out of street railways, but now that ho is a millionaire does not appear to bo averso to tho peoplo profiting from munioipal railways. His stand on this matter alono is onough to explain his oleotion along Itith tho defeat of all othor Demooratio i candidates.?Tho Stato. I and the stroke of the* hufiian on th? luouth and the howling of tho unwashed crowd then lie will forget you and me in the injustices of life that may be inflicted upon us. Further 1 remark: The last great installment puid for our redemption was the demise of Christ. The world lias seen many dark days. Many summers ago there was n very dark day when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at noonday went to their perch, and we felt a gloom as we looked at tho astronomical wonder. It was a dark day in London when the plague was at its height, and the dead with uncovered faces were taken in open carta and dumped in tho trenches. It was a dark day when the earth opened und Lisbon sank, but the darkest day siuco the creation of the world was when the carnage of Calvary wusenucted. It was about noon when the curtain l began to be drawn. It was the swing- t ing of a great gloom all around tho heavens. God hung it. As when there is a dead one in the house you bow the shutters or turn tho lattice, so Qod in the afternoon shut the windows of the world. As it is uppropriato to throw n black pall upon the coffin ns it passes along, so It was appropriate that everything should be somber thftt day as the great hearse of the earth rolled on, bearing the corpse of tho King. A man's last hours are ordinarily kept sacred. However you may linve hated or caricatured a roan, when you hour he is dying- alienee puts its hands on your lips, and you would have a loathing for the man who could st'wul by n deathbed making faces and scoffing. Hut Christ in His last hour cannot be left alone. What, pursuing 11 iin yet after so long n pursuit? You have been drinking His tears. I)o you want to drink His blood? They como up closely, so that notwithstanding the darkness they can glut their revenge with the contortions of Ilis countenance. They examine II8s feet. They want to feel for themselves wh ther those feet are really spiked. They put out their hands and touch the spikes and bring theiu back wet with blood and wipe them on their gnrments. Women stnml there and weep, hut can do no good. It Is no place for the tender-hearted women. It wants a heart that crime has turned Into granite. The waves of man's hatred and of hell's vengeance dash up against the mungled feet, and the hands of sin nnd A.u..? uiiu lunuro ciuien lor nis noiy heart. 11 ml lie not been thoroughly fastened to the cross they would have torn Him down and trampled Him with both feot. How the cavalry horses arched their necks and champed their bits and reared and sniffed at the blood! Had a Roman oflicer called out for a light, his voieo would not havo been heard in the tumult, but louder than tho orash of spears, and the wailing of womanhood, and tho neighing of tho chargers, and the bellowing of tho oruelfiers, there comes u voice crashing through?loud, clear, overwhelming, terrific. It is the groaning of the dying Son of God! Look, what a scene! Look, world, at what you have done! I lift the covering from tho maltreated Christ to lot you count tho wounds and cstlmato the cost. Oh, when tho nails went through Christ's right hand that bought your hands, with all their power to work and lift and write! When tho nails went through Christ's right foot and Christ's loft foot, that bought your feet, with all their powor to walk or run or climb. When the thorn went into Christ's temple, that bought your bruin, with all Its power to think and plan. When the spear cleft Christ's side, that bought, your heart, with all its power to lovo and repent and prny. When the Atlantic cable was lost in 180.1, do you remember that the Great Eastern and the Mod way and tho Albany went out to find It? Thirty times they sank tho grapnel 2% miles deep in water. Aftor awhile they found tho cable and brought it to the surface. No sooner had it been brought to the surface than they lifted a shout of exultation, but the aablo slipped hack again into the water and was lost. Then for t wo weeks more they swept the sea with the grappling hooks, and at last they found tho cable, and they brought It up in silence. They fastened it this time. Then with great excitement they took one end of the cable to the electrician's room to see If there were really any life in it, and when j they saw a spark and knew that a met- j sage could bo sent then every hat was lifted, and tho rockets flew and the guns sounded, until all tho vessels on tho expedition knew, and tho continents were lashed together. Well, my j friends, Sabbath after Sabbath Gospel j messengers hare come searching down ( for your souls. We havo swept the sea r with tho grappling hook of Christ's ^ Gospel. Again and again we have thought that you were at the surface, and we began to rejoice over your re- ? demption, but at the moment of our . gladness you sank back again into the world and back again into sin. To-day we come with the Gospel searching for your aoul. We apply tho cross of ( Christ first to see whether there is any 1 life left in you, while all around the ' people stand, looking to see whether ' the work will be done, and the angels < of God bend down and witness, and, J oh, If now we could see only one spark t of lore and hope and faith we would c send up a shout that would be heard i on the battlements of Heaven, and two worlds would keep jubilee because communication is open between Christ and tho soul, and your nature that has been sunken in sin has been lifted into f the light and Joy of the Gospel. f Hard on the Goat. t "And, shure, they tell me your hooe* t band's very litherary?" ] "That he Is, indade." ^ "That he devours ivery thing in the way of a book or a paper that oooma to the house." t "Bliure, he does." !
