HEV. DR. TALMAGE DESCRIBES THE
WORLD TO COME.
The Great Divine I’aluta tlie Attraet-

iixloii Aaony.
[Copyright, I/suls Klopseh, ISO!).]
W.Y.siiiNrno.v, July 8U.—In this dls-
coui'ko I»r. Tulinage f»ets forth the glo
ries of the world to come and the at
tractiveness of the Christ, who opens
the way; text, I’salins, xlv, 8, “All thy
garments smell of myrrh and aloes and
cassia out of the Ivory palaces.”
Among the grand adornments of the
city of I’aris is the Church of Notre
inune, with great towers and elabo
rate rose windows and sculpturing of
the last judgment, with the trumpeting
angels and rising dead; its battlements
of quatre foil; its sacristy, with ribbed
ceilings and statues of saints But
there was nothing in all that building
which more vividly appealed to my
plain republican tastes than (he costly
vestments which lay in oaken presses
- robes that had been embroidered
with gold and been worn by popes and
archbishops on great occasions. There
was a robe tiiat had been worn by
I’ins VII at the crowning of the lirst
Napoleon. There was also a vestment
that had been worn at tlie baptism of
Napoleon II. As our guide opened the
oaken presses and brought out these
vest incuts of fabulous cost and lifted
them up the fragrance of the pungent
aromatics in which they had been pre
served llliod the place with a sweet
ness that was almost oppressive. Noth
ing that had been done in stone more
vividly Impressed me than these tilings
that had been done in cloth and em
broidery and perfume. But today l
open the drawer of this text, and 1 look
upon the kingly robes of Christ, and as
I lift them. Hashing with eternal Jew
els, tlu* whole house is tilled with the
aroma of these garments, which "snioll
of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of
tlie Ivory palaces.”
The MoIm-m of C'liriMf.
In my text the King steps forth.
His robes rustle and blaze as he ad
vances. Ills pomp and power and
glory overmaster tlie spectator. More
brilliant is he than Queen Vaslitl mov
ing amid Hie Persian princes; than
Marie Antoinette on the day when
Louis XVI [nit upon her the necklace
of NU0 diamonds; than Anne Boleyn
the day when Henry VIII welcomed
her to Ids palace ail beauty and all
pomp forgotten while we stand in the
presence of l Ids imperial glory, King
of Zion, King of earth. King of heaven.
King forever! Iler garments not worn
out, not dust bedraggled, hut radiant
and jeweled and redolent. It seems as
if they must have been pressed HHJ
years amid the (lowers of heaven.
The wardrobes from which they have
been taken must have been sweet with
clusters of camphor and frankin
cense and ail manner of precious wood.
Ho you not inhale the odorsV Aye,
aye. “They smell of myrrh and aloes
and cassia out of tlie ivory palaces.”
Your lirst curiosity is to know why
the robes of Christ arc odorous with
myrrh. This was a bright leafed
Abyssinian plant. It was trifoliated.
The Creeks, Egyptians, Romans and
Jews bought and sol! it at a high price.
TIk* lirst present that was ever given
to Clubl was a sprig of myrrh thrown
on ids infantile bed in Bethlehem, ami
the last gift that Christ ever had was
myrrh pressed into tlie cup of ids
crucitlxion. The natives would take a
stone and bruise the tree, and then it
would exude a gum that would saturate
ali the ground beneath. This gum was
used for tin* purposes of merchandise.
One piece of it no larger than a chest
nut would whelm a whole room with
odors. It was put in closets, in diesis,
in drawers, in rooms, and its perfume
adhered almost interminably to any
thing that was anywhere near it. So
when in my text 1 read that Christ’s
garments smell of myrrh 1 immedi
ately conclude tlie exquisite sweetness
of Jesus.
titalew From lieiiven.
I know that to many he is only like
any historical person; another John
Howard; another philanthropic ober-
lin; another Confucius; a grand sub
ject for a painting; a heroic theme for
a poem; a beautiful form for a statue;
hut to those who have heard ids voice
ami felt Ids pardon and received ids
benediction lie is music, and light, and
warmth, and thrill, and eternal fra
grance sweet as a friend sticking to
yon when all else betray; lifting you
up while others try to push yon down;
not so much like morning glories, that
bloom only when the sun is coining
up, nor like “four o’clocks,” that bloom
only when the sun is going dow n, hut
like myrrh, perpetually aromatic—the
same morning, noon and night, yester
day, today, forever. It seems as if we
cannot wear him out. We put on him
all our burdens and atllict him w ith all
our griefs mid set him foremost in nil
our battles; and yi*t he is ready to lift
and to sympathize and to help. We
have so imposed upon hiin tiiat one
would think in eternal affront lie
would quit our soul; and yet today lie
addresses ns with the same tenderness,
dawns upon us with the same smile,
pith'.; ns witli the same compassion.
There is no name like ids for ns. It
is more Imperial than Caesar's, more
musical than Beethoven's, more con
quering than Charlemagne's, more elo
quent than Cicero’s. It throbs with all
life. It weeps with all pathos. It
groans with .'ill pain. It stoops with
all condescension It breathes with all
perfume. Who like Jesus to set a
broken bone, to pity a homeless or*
plian, to nurse it sick man, to take a
prodigal hack without any scolding,
to Illumine a cemetery all plowed with
graves, to make a queen unto Cod out
of the lost woman, to catch the tears
of human sorrow lu a lachrymatory
that shall neve;- be broken? Who has
such an eye to see our need, such n lip
to kiss nway our sorrow, such a hand
to snatch us out of the tire, siieli a
foot to trample our enemies, su< , li a
heart to embrace nil our necessities?
I snuggle for some metaphor with
which to express him. lie is not like
Hie bursting forth of a full orchestra.
*i list Is too loud. lie is not like the
sea when lushed to rage by the tem
pest That is too boisterous. He is
not like the mount!;in, its brow wreath
ed with the lightning. That is loo soli
tary. Cive us a softer type, a gentler
goutpanson We have seemed to see
■*'- 1 ■' 1 1 "'j"”
iiini with our eyes and to hear him
with our ears and to touch him with
our hands. Oh, that today he might i
appear to some other one of our live
senses! Aye, the nostril nlmll discover I
his presence. He comes upon us like ;
spice gales from heaven. Yen, his gar
ments smell of lasting and all perva
sive myrrh. •
Aloe* of IlitternenM.
Would that you nil knew ids sweet* I
ness! How soon you would turn from
all other attractions! If the philoso
pher leaped out of Ids bath in a frenzy
of Joy and clapped ids hands nud rush-
| ed through the streets because he had
; found Hie solution of a mathematical
! problem, how will you feel leaping
from the fountain of a Saviour’s mercy
: and pardon, washed dean and made
white as snow, when tlie question lias
been solved. “How can my soul he
saved?” Naked, frost bitten, storm j
lashed soul, let Jesus lids hour throw
around thee Hie “garments that smell I
sf myrrh and aloes and cassia out of
tlie ivory palaces.”
Your second curiosity is to know
why Hie robes of Jesus are odorous
with aloes. There is some difference
of opinion about where these aloes
grow, what is the color of the flower,
what is the particular appearance of
the herb. Suffice it for you and me to
know flint aloes mean hfttcnesu the
world over, and when t’lirist comes
with garments hearing that particular
odor tiiey suggest to me the bitter
ness of a Saviour’s sufferings. Were
there ever such nights as Jesus lived
through -nights on the mountains,
nights on the sea, nights in the desert?
Who ever had such a bard reception
ns Jesus had? A hostelry the lirst, an
unjust trial in oyer nud terminer
another, a foul mouthed, yelling mob
tlie last. Was there a space on his
hack as wide as your two Augers
where he was not whipped? Was
there a space on ids brow an inch
square where he was not cut of the
briers? When Hie spike struck at the
instep, did il not go clear through to
the hollow «>f the foot? Oh, long, deep,
bitter pilgrimage! Aloes! Aloes!
Man Sinil«- Free.
John leaned ids head on Christ, lint
who did Christ lean on? F’ive thou
sand men fed by Hie Saviour; who fed
Jesus? The sympathy of a Saviour’s
heart going out to the leper and Hie
adulteress; hut who soothed Christ?
He laid a lit [dace neither to lie born
nor to die. A poor huhe! A poor lad!
A poor young man! Not so much as a
taper to cheer Ids dying hours. Kveu
tlie caudle of the sun nulled out. Was
it not all aloes? t.iur sins, sorrows,
bereavements, losses and ali the ago
nies of earth mid hell picked p as in
one cluster ami squeezed into one cup,
and that [tressed tit Ids lips until the
acrid, nauseating, hitler draft was
swallowed with a distorted counte
nance and a shudder from hi ad to foot
and a gurgling strangulation. Aloes,
aloes! Nothing loil aloes. All this for
himself? All tills to get the fame in
the world of being a martyr? All this
in a spirit of stuhlMirnness, because he
did not like Caesar? No, no! All this
because lie wauled to pluck me and
you from hell. Because lie wanted to
raise me and you to heaven. Because
we were lo>d, and lie wanted ns found.
Because we were blind, and he wanted
us to see. Because we were serfs, and
lie wanted ns manumitted. Oh, ye in
whose cup of life the saccharin lias
predominated; oh, ye who have had
bright and sparkling beverages, how
do .ton feel toward him who in your
stead and to purchase your disenthrall-
incut, took tlie aloes, tlie unsavory
aloes, the bitter aloes?
The Divine IMiyiilcluii.
Your third curiosity Is to know why
these garments of Christ are odorous
with cassia. This was a plant which
grew in India and the adjoining is
lands. You do not care to hour what
kind of a (lower it hud or what kind of
a stall;. It is enough for me to tell you
that it was used medicinally. In Hint
land and in that age, where they knew
hut little ahoiit pharmacy, cassia was
used to arrest many forms of disease.
So, when in my text we lind Christ
coming witli garments tiiat smell of
cassia, It suggests to me tlie healing
and curative power of the Son of Hod.
“Oh,” you say, “now you have a su-
lierlliious Idea! We are not sick.
Why do we want cassia? We are
athletic. Our respiration Is perfect.
Our limbs are lithe, and on bright cool
days we feel we could bound like a
roe.” I beg to differ, my brother, from
you. None of you can he better in
physical health than 1 am, and yet 1
must say we are all sick. 1 have taken
the diagnosis of your ease and lia^ve ex
amined all tlie best authorities on Hie
subject, and I have to toil you that you
are “full of wounds and bruises and
putrefying sores which have not been
hound up or molliilcd with ointment.”
The marasmus of sin Is on us—tlie
palsy, the dropsy, Hie leprosy. The
man tiiat Is expiring tonight lu Hie
next street—the allopathic and homeo
pathic doctors have given him up nud
Ids friends now standing around to
take Ids last words—Is no more cer
tainly dying ns to Ids body than you
and I are dying unless we have taken
the medicine from Hod’s apothecary.
AH Hie leaves of this Bible are only so
many prescriptions from tlie Divine
Physician, written, not in Latin, like
the prescriptions of earthly physicians,
but written in plain English, so that
a "man, though a fool, need not err
therein.” Thank Hod that the Sav
iour's garments smell of cassia!
t'lirlat the lleiiicr.
Suppose a man were sick, and there
was :i phial on ids mantelpiece with
medicine lie knew would cure him, mid
he refused to take It, what would you
say of him? He is a suicide. Aud
what do you say of tiiat man who, sick
|ii sin, has tlie healing medicine of
Hod's grace offered him and refuses to
take il? If he dies, lie is a suicide.
People talk us though Hod took a man
and led him out to darkness and death,
us though lie brought him up to Hie
cliffs and Hun pushed 1dm off. Oh,
no! When a man is lost, it is not he-
cans > Hod pushes him off; it is lieeause
In' jumps off. In olden times a suicide
was buried at the crossroads, and the
people were accustomed to throw
stones upon Ids grove. So It seems to
me there may bo at tills time a man
who Is destroying ids soul, and as
though the angels of Hod were here to
bury him at Hie point where tlie roads
of life and death cross each oilier,
throwing upon the grave the broken
| law and a great pile of utisluiprovcd
privileges, so that those going by may
look at the fearful mound and learn
what ii suicide It is when an Immortal
soul, for which Jesus died, puts itself
out of the way.
When Christ trod tills planet with
foot of flesh, Hie people rushed after
Idtii—people who were sick, aud those
who, being so sick they could not walk,
were brought by their friends. Here
I see a mother holding up her little
child, saying: “Cure this croup, Lord
Jesus! Cure this scarlet fever!” Aud
others: “Cure this ophthalmia! Hive
ease and rest to till'} spinal distress!
Straighten this club foot!” Christ
made every house where he stopped a
dispensary. I do not believe that in
the ID centuries which have gone by
since, his heart has got hard. I feel
that we can come now with all our
wounds of soul and get his benedic
tion. O Jesus, here we are. We want
healing. We want sight. We want
health. We want life. “The whole
need not a physician, hut they that are
sick.” Blessed lie Hod that Jesus
Christ comes through this assemblage
now, his “garments smelling of myrrh”
—that means fragrance, “and aloes”—
they mean hitter saeritlqial memories,
“ami cassia”- that menus medicine and
cure.
Out ot Ivory I’alucr*.
According to my text, he comes “out
of the Ivory palaces.” You know, or
If you do not know I will tell you now,
that some of the palaces of olden time
were adorned with Ivory. Ahab and
Solomon had their homes furnished
with It. The tusks of African aud
Asiatic elephants were twisted Into all
tnauuer of shapes, and there were
stairs of Ivory, and chairs of Ivory,
and tallies of Ivory, and floors of Ivory,
and pillars of Ivory, and windows of
Ivory, and fountains that dropped into
basins of ivory, ami rooms that had
ceilings of ivory. Oh, white ami over-
masterfug beauty! Green tree branch
es sweeping the white curbs. Tapestry
trailing the snowy floors. Brackets of
light flashing on the lustrous surround
ings. Silvery music rippling on the
beach of the arches. The mere thought
of it almost stuns my brain, and you
say: “Oh, if I could only have walked
over such floors! If 1 could have
thrown myself in such a chair! If I
could have heard the drip and dasli of
those fountains!” You shall have
something better than that if you only
let Christ introduce you. From that
place he came, and to that place he
proposes to transport you, for his “gar
ments smell of myrrh and aloes and
tiissia out of the ivory palaces.” What
a place henveu must he! The Tuileries
of the I'reiicli, the Windsor castle of
the English, the Spanish Alhambra, Hie
Russian Kremlin, are mere dungeons
compared with it! Not so many cas
tles on either side the Rhine as on both
sides of the river of Hod -the Ivory
palaces! One for the angels, insuffera
bly bright, winged, lire eyed, tempest
charioted; one for the martyrs, with
blood red robes from under the altar;
one for the King, the steps of Ids pal
ace the crown of the church militant;
one for the singers, who lead the 111,-
ooo; one for you, ransomed from sin;
one for me, plucked from the huruiug.
Oh, the Ivory palaces!
Itriilma of Hettuty.
Today It seems to me as if the win
dows of those palaces were illumined
for some great victory, and I look and
see, climbing the stairs of Ivory aud
walking on floors of ivory, some whom
we knew and loved on earth. Yes, I
know them. There are father and
mother, not 82 years and 7!) years, as
when they left us, lint blithe and
young ns when on their marriage day.
And there are brothers and sisters, mer
rier than when we us^d to romp across
the meadows together. Tlie cough
gone. The cancer cured. The erysipe
las healed. The heart break over. Oh,
how fair they are In the Ivory palaces!
And your dear little children that went
out from you—Christ did not let one of
them drop as lie lifted them. He did
not wrench one of them from you. No.
They went us from one they loved well
to one whom they loved better. If 1
should take your little child aud press
Its soft face against my rough cheek,
I might keep it a little while, but when
you, the mother, came along, it would
struggle to go with you. And so you
stood holding your dying child when
Jesus passed by in the room and the
little one sprang out greet him. That
is all. Your Christian dead did not go
down Into tlie dust and the gravel mid
the mud. Though it ruined ull that
funeral day, and the water came up to
the wheel's hub as you drove out to
the cemetery, it made no difference to
them, for they stepped from the home
here to Hie home there, right into the
Ivory palaces. AU Is well with them.
4H Is well.
It Is not a dead weight that you lift
when you carry a Christian out. Jesus
makes the bed up soft with velvet
promises, and he says: “But her down
here very gently. But that head which
will never ache again on this pillow
of hallelujahs. U<-ud up word that the
procession Is coming. Ring the hells.
Ring! Open your gates, ye Ivory pal
aces!” And so your loved ones are
there. They are Justus certainly there,
having died in Christ, us that you are
here. There Is only one thing more
they want, indeed, there is one thing
In heaven they have not got. They
want it. What is It? Your company.
But, oil, my brother, unless you change
your taek you cannot reach that har
bor. You might as well take tlie
Southern BucUlc railroad, expecting
in that direction to reach Toronto, as
to go ou in the way some of you are
going, mid yet expect to reach the
Ivory palaces. Your loved ones are
looking out of the windows of heaven
now, and yet you kcciii to turn your
back upon them. Yon do not seem to
know Hie sound of their voices ns well
as you used to or to he moved by the
sight of their dear faces. Call louder,
ye departed ones! Call louder from
the Ivory palaces!
M>Ht<*i-> Holvrd.
When I think of that place mid think
of my entering It, I feel awkward. 1
feel ns sometimes when I have been
exposed to the weather, find my shoes
have been hcmlred, and my coat is
soiled, and my hair Is disheveled, aud
1 stop In front of some line residence
where 1 have an errand. I feel not
lit to go in us I am and sit among the
guests. Bo some of ns feel about heav
en. We need to he washed; we need
to he rehabilitated before wo go Into
the Ivory palaces. Eternal Hod, let
the surges of thy pardoning mercy roil
over us! 1 want not only to t\asli my
hands and my feet; but, like some
skilled diver, standing ou the pier
head, who leaps Into the wave mid
comes up at a far distant point from
where he went In, so I want to go
down, and so I want to come up O
Jesus, wash me In the waves of thy
salvation!
And here I ask you to solve a mys
tery that lias been oppressing me for
30 years. I have I icon asking it <f
doctors of divinity who have been
studying theology half a century, aud
they have given me no satisfactory
answer. I have turned over all the
books In my library, but got no solu
tion to Hie question, and today i come
mid ask you for an explanation. By
what logic was Christ induced to ex
change Hie Ivory palaces of heaven
for the crucitlxion agonies of earth? 1
shall take the lirst thousand million
years in heaven to study out that prob
lem ; meanwhile and now taking it as
Hit; Uuiderest, mightiest (if all facts
tiiat Christ did come, that he came
with spikes in his feet, came with
thorns in his brow, came with spears
in his heart, to save you and to save
me. “God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son, that who
soever believe!h in him should not per
ish, but have everlasting life.” O
Christ, whelm all our souls with thy
compassion! Mow them down like
summer grain with the harvesting
sickle of thy grace! Ride through to
day the conqueror, thy garments smell
ing “of myrrh and aloes aud cassia
out of the ivory palaces!”
liTROLLEY CAR WRECKED.
Fight I’aHHena^r* on Dourd hut None the
Worst for Their Experience.
Clevklasd, July 31—The blowing
op of a Euclid beach suburhau car last
night has demonstrated the fact that
the danger point has not yet been
passed in connection with the streetcar
strike in this city. Asa result of this
fresh outbreak of lawlessness the plan
to release the military force early next
week will probably be abandoned aud
the soldiers retained for mi iudeliuite
period.
Contrary to previous reports, it is
learned that eight passengers were
ab. ard the car wrecked last night, and
that they with the crew escaped injury,
beyond a few slight bruises, io consid
ered almost miraculous.
The explosive used was unusually
powerful, the two rear wheels of the
big car being broken aud the axle and
other iron work badly bent and twisted.
One of tlie track rails was also shattere 1.
The heavy suburban ime car was
lifted 2 feet from tlie track by the ex
plosion. The flooring was blown up
wards and over the top of the seats.
The authorities as yet have been nn-
able to gain the slightest clew us to the
identity of the perpetrators of the out
rage.
Cars were operated on several of the
more important lines of the Big Con
solidated company throughout the night
and today cars are moving ou every
lino of the system.
Th« Kvoiutinn of tho Sidt-Itoard.
Tho dresser began service in tin
kitchen as n table, advancing until it
was composed of a top and two shelves
below, supported by four legs. It was
then used not so much as a placo for
dressing the meats as a serving table,
on which dishes were placed licforo ho-
iug allotted to tho members of tlie
household. At a later period a portion
of the dresser became inclosed, and aft
er that an extra shelf, with sometimes
a hood, was placed on it. It was not
then an article of kitchen furniture, but
stood in the hull or living room. As a
result of tho desire to reduce tho quan
tity of furniture in tho hull the credence
and dresser were combined as oue arti
cle, with a closet and shelf below and
several shelves above, the whole sur
mounted by a canopy. Then it was like
some of our sideboards, though it was
not known by that name until the eight
eenth century, when it assumed tho
long, low table form, with drawers and

Tlie Savage ami tlie Rlrdcagc.
A gentleman who went out with
Stanley to Africa took with him a num
ber of birdcages, in which lie hoped to
tiring back some specimens of tlie rarer
birds of tlie interior. Owing to the
death of his carriers he was obliged to
throw away the birdcages with a num
ber of other articles. These were seized
by the natives in great glee, though
thoy did not know what to do with
them, but they eventually decided that
the small circular cages were a kind of
headgear, and, knocking off the bottom,
the chiefs strutted about in them with
evident pride. One chief, thinking him
self more wise than the others and hav
ing seen the white men eat at table out
of dishes, thought they were receptacles
for iood and took his meals from ono,
ceremoniously opening aud shutting tha
door hetweep each mouthful.
