TALMAGE'S BKBLMON
In Which He Intrtduces Hope to the
Invalid and Erring one*.
In this ditcourso Dr. Talmago would
lift pooplo out of despoodonoi end
bring somethingof futuro joy into oarthly
depression. Tho text is lit brews
vi, 19, "Which hopo."
Thero is en Atlentio oooan of depth
end fullnofs in tho vrrso from which
my toxt is taken, end 1 only wedo into
tho wevo et tho boaoh and tako two
words. Wo ell havo favorito words ex
prcsHivo of delight or ebhorronoo, words
that easily find their way from brain
to lips, words that havo ia thctu rnoruings
end midnights, laughter end tears,
thunderbolts end dowdrops. In ell
tho lexioons end vocabularies there era
few words that havo for mo tho attractions
of tho last word of my toxt,
"Whioh hopo."
Thoro havo in tho oourso of out life
boon many angols of God that havo
looked over our shoulders, or mot us on
tho road, or ohantcd tho darknoss away,
or liftod tho ourtains of tho groat future,
or pulled us baok from tho proolpioes,
or rolled down upon us tho iapturous
music of tho heavons, thoro is
ono of thoso angols who has doDO so
much for us that wo wish throughout
ell timo end ell eternity to oolobreto it
-?tho augol of Hopo. St Daul makes
it tho ocntor of a group of throe, seyirig
"Now abidoth faith, hopo, charity."
And, though ho says that oharity is
tho groatost of tho throo, ho docs not
tako one plumo from tno wing, or ono
ray of luster from tho brow, or ono
aurora from tho ohook, or ono melody
from tho voioo of tho angol of my toxt,
"Whioh hopo."
That was a great night for our world
when in ? Botblehcui caravansary tho
Infant lloyal wai born, and that will
bo a great night in Iho darkuos-> of your
eoul when Christian hopo is born.
Thoro will be chanting in tho skies aid
a star pointing to tho Nativity. 1 will
not bother you with tho busk of a do
finition and tell you what hopo is
When we flit down hungry at a tablo,
wo do not want an analytical disoourao
as to what broad is, Hand it on; pass
it round: give us a slioo of it. John
Bpcaks of hopo as a "puro hopo." Potor
calls it a "livoly hopo." Paul styles it
a "good hopo," a "euro hopo," a ,4rojoioing
hope." All up and down tho
Biblo it is spoken of aB an anchor, as a
harbor, a8 a holrnot, as a door.
Whon wo draw a ohook on a bank,
wo must have roforonoe to tho amount
of monoy wo havo dopositod, but Hopo
makoB a draft on a bank in whiah for
her boneht all hoavon has boon deposited.
Hope! May it light up ovory
dunioon, stand by ovory siokbod. loud
a helping hand to ovcry orphanago,
loosen ovory ohain, oarots ovory forlorn
bouI and turn tho unpioturod room of
tho almshouse into the vostibulo of
hoavon 1 How suggostivo that mythology
doolaros that whon all other doilies
flod tho eaith tho goddess llopo remained!
It was hnnn itiaf rnvivnfl -Tftln
when ou shipboard near the ooant of
Sootlaud ho was fearfully ill, and ho
was requested to look shoroward and
naked if ho know the villago near tho
ooast, and ho anaworcd, "I know it
woll, for I see tho 6tccplo of that place
whoro God first oponed my mouth in
publio to his glory, and 1 am fully porBuadod
how weak that ever I now ap
poar 1 shall not depart this life till my
tongue shall glorify his holy namoin
tho same place." Uis hopo was ro
wardod, and for twonty fivo moro yearB
ho proachod. That is tho hopo whioh
sustained Mr. Morroll ofNorwioh when
departing this life at twenty four yoars
of ago ho declared, "I Bhould liko to
understand tho soorots of etoroivy bo
foro tomorrow morning." That was
tho kind of bopo that tho oorporal had
in tho battlo whon, aftor sovoral standard
bearers had fallon, ho sriz. id tho
flag and turned to a lioutonant oolonol
and raid, "If I fall, tell my dear wife
that 1 dio with a grod hopo in Christ
and that 1 am glad to givo my lifo <\u
my oountiy." That wan tho good hopo
that Dr. Goodwin had in his last hour
whonhosaid: "Ah, is this death? llow
have I droadod as an onomy this srnil
ing friend!"
Many havo full assuranco that all is
right with tho soul. Thoy aro aa euro
of hoavon as if thoy had passed tho
poarly panels of tho gato, a* thouvh
thov woro alroady scaled in tho tomplo
of God unrolling tho librotto of tho
heavonly chorister. I oongratulato all
suoh. I wish I had it, toe?full aaeurano??but
with mo it is hopo. "Whioh
hopo." Sinful, it oxneots forcivennan!
troubled, it expoots roliof; bereft, it
expoots rounion; oloar down, it ex
poots wings to lift; shipwrecked, it expects
lifeboat; bankrupt, it oxpoots
eternal riohos; a prodigal, it expoots
the wido opon door of the father's farmhouse.
It doos not wear itself out by
looking baokward; it always lookfl forward.
What is tho uso of giving bo
much timo to tho rehearsal of tho past?
Your mistakes aro not corrooted by a
review. Your lossos oannot, by brooding
over them, bo turnod into gains.
It is the futuro that has tho most for
us, and hope ohoors us on. Wo havo
all oommitted blunders, but doos tho
oalling of tho roll tf them wako thorn
any the less blunders? Look ahoad in
all matters of usefulness, llowovor
much you may havo accomplished for
Qod and tho world's bottermont, your
greatest usefulness is to ccmo. "No,"
says some one, "my health is gone,"
''No," says eomo one, "my money is
gone." "No," eays somo ono, "the
most of my years aro gono and therefore
my usefulness." Why, you talk
like an infidel. J)o you supposo
that all your oapaoity to do
good is fenoed in by this lifo?
Aro you going to bo a loungor
and a do nothing after you havo quit
this world? It is my business to toll
you that your faculties aro to be enlarged
and intensified and your qualifications
for usefulnoss multiplied tonfold,
a hundrodfold, a thousandfold.
Is your health gono? I hen that is a
sign that you aro to oDjoy a oolostial
health oomfared with which tho most
joound and hilarious vitality of earth
is invalidism. Aro your fortunes
spent? Remember you aro to be kings
and queens unto God and how much
more wealth you will have when you
reign forover and evor. I want to see
you when you got your heavenly woik
dress on. This little bit of a speck of
a world we oall the earth is only the
plaoe where we get rotdy to work. Wo
master workmen there, lloavon will i

"Your nanio?" I askod. Ho gave mo 2

Ua tho following ovaniog ho oa uo J
Ho Baid that ho was tho blank Hhoop of
tho family fbok. Ho had wandered
tho world over and boon in all kindo ?
of wiokodnoBB, but afow nights before, 1
after roading a letter from his mother 0
in Scotland, ho had rotirod for air cp, 1
but in tho adjoining room ho hcurd 11
some young mon in suoh horrible con 11
vorsation ho oolud not sloop. Ho was 1
shocked an he had nover boforo boon by f
tho talk of bad mon. Ho arono, struck 1
a light, took out tho lottor from his r
mothor and knelt down by hie bodsido ''
and aaid, "O Lord, God of my raothor, 8
have motoy on mo!" Ho said that since "
that prayer ho w*h entirely ohanged "
and loved what ho boforo hatod and J
hatod what ho boforo loved and aakod '(
what I thought it all moaut. 1 ropli- |
od, "You havo bocouie a Christian." *'
Ho said ho might bo oallod at any timo
to leave tho oity. I nevor eaw him o
again, but it Boomed to me that ho had p
turned his baok upon hid wioked past b
and had started in tho right diraotion. r
And it may bo ho with your boy. Write u
him ofton. Toll him how you aro all ii
thinking of him at homo, and, it may b
be, your lotlor in hand, he may oall up- b
on his mother's God to holp and aavo tl

wrinkles! Heaven has its thousands tl
of souls who wore 01100 as thoroughly ii
wrong as your boy is. Thoy repontcd, n
and they aro with tho old folks in tho o
hoalthy air of tho otornal hills, whoro tl
thoy may booomo young again. IIopo ii
on, and, though you may novor hoar of IV
your son's roformation and othors may tl
think ho has loft this life hopoloss, who
knows but that in tho last momont, tl
after ho has ooaued to spoak and bofore b
his soul launches away, your prayer w
may have boon answered and ho bo one o<

A FATAL WRECK
A 8ctne of Iodercribable Coufur?ioa
and Horror
A fatal wrcok ooourred on Iho San'a
FoKiilroad, ouo milo west of Franoonia,
Arizen, a switch station 20
miles cant of Necdies, Cal., cariy Wednesday.
Soven trainiuou wore killod,
tbroo passengers and 14 trainmen njured.
Limited traine, bound eastward
and westward, crushed together whilo
ruuuing at full speed.
The eastbound train was drawn by
ongincs, whilo the westbound train had
but ono locomotive. The trains woro
ortishod and blown to piooos by an ex
plosion whioh lollowed the collision.
Both trains wcro made up ci v stibnlo
oaiH of tbo heaviest kind, and whilo
thoy ttojd tho terrific shook well and
protcoied tho passengers to a great ox
tent, several of oars took firo at onco
and burnod up. Th? dining oars, odg
ou caoh train, ono Pullman and two
ooDDpcsito oars wcro destroyed.
Tho collision is said to have boon
duo to ^disregard of orders by the orcw
of tho west boucd train, though full
particulars on this point arc as yet
laoking. From all accounts, however,
it iB gathered that tho east bound train
had orders to tako tho biuing at Franoonia
and await tho passing of tho wosl
bound flyer, whioh was running two
hours laio, sod tiyin t to ruako up timo.
Tho oabt bound tram failed to roach.
tho siding, and, ai tho west bound train
did not wait for it, too two lratun oamo
together without warning and with an
awful crash. Tho boiler of fho west
bound ongino is said to tiavo exploded
immediately after tho crash, ioi!d'.ng
to doath tlioso of the engine orow who
had not boon killou outright.
A soono of awful c nfucion followed.
Tho massivo ougiaca piled up in an indescribable
mass of broken and t Aistcd
stool, whilo tho to.ildmg s eam huog
in a donso, suffocating olould over tho
debris, from whioh tho agonizing orics
jf Lho injured and dying engineer could
bo hoard. Tho K.i^vy Pullmans and
oomposito oarn jammed the din.ng and
baggage oars upon tho hoatcd pi to of
tlobris, carrying death to tho dining car
orown and Dotting the cars afiro.
From tho ineagro dotal) a of tho eocuos
;athcrod from tho pa9?oogtri, it in
learned that tho stooping ots, with ouc
3r two exooptione, suffered dightly,
ir.d a? a roault tho passenger* wero af
forded comparative immunity from injury.
S) far an learned, only thrco
paaeongers, all from t.'aliforaia, sufferod
iojurio8 of a aevero character, the
terriblo rorulta of the wreck being con&nod
almost entire y <o tho train crown
and tho employes of tho dining oar
larvico.
Tho west bound limited oarricd a full
passenger list from eastern cities, ,:ut
it appoars none were :rjurrd.
