Washington, May 13.—In this dis- | course Dr. Talmage lifts the curtain from eternal felicities and in an unnsu- ; nl way treats of the heavenly world; ; text, I Corinthians ii, 9, “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have eu- j tered Into the heart of man, the things | which God hath prepared for them that love him.” The city of Corinth has been called “the Paris of antiquity.” Indeed for splendor the world holds no such won der today. It stood on an isthmus washed by two seas, the one sea bring ing the commerce of Europe, the other sea bringing the commerce of Asia. From her wharfs, in the construction of which whole kingdoms had been ab sorbed, war galleys with three banks of oars pushed out and confounded the navy yards of all the world. Huge handed machinery such as modern in vention cannot equal lifted ships from the sea on one side and transported them on trucks across the isthmus and set them down in the sea on the other side. The revenue officers of the city went down through the olive groves that lined the beach to collect a tariff from all nations. The mirth of all people sported in her Isthmian games, and the beauty of all lands sat In her theaters, walked her porticos and threw itself on the altar of her stupendous dissipa tions. Column and statue and temple bewildered the beholder. There were white marble fountains into which, from apertures at the side, there rush ed waters everywhere known for health giving qualities. Around these basins, twisted Into wreaths of stone, there were all the beauties of sculpture and architecture, whi’e, standing, as if to guard the costly display, was a statue of Hercules of burnished Corinthian brass. Vases of terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of the dead—vases so costly that Julius Caesar was not satis- lied until he had captured them for Koine. Armed officials, the Corintha- rli. paced up and down to see that no statue was defaced, no pedestal over thrown, no bas-relief touched. From the edge of the city a hill arose, with Its magnificent burden of columns, towers and temples (1,000 slaves wait ing at one shrine), and a citadel so thoroughly Impregnable that Gibraltar Is a heap of sand compared with it. Amid all that strength and magnifi cence Corinth stood and defied the world. Oh, it was not to rustics who had never seen anything grand that Paul uttered this text. They had heard the best music that had-come from the best instruments in all the world; they bad heard songs floating from morning porticoes and melting in evening groves; they had passed their whole lives among pictures and sculpture and ar chitecture and Corinthian brass which had been molded and shaped until there was no chariot wheel in which it had not sped, and no tower in which it had not glittered, and no gateway that it had not adorned. Ah, it was a bold tiling for Paul to stand there amid all that and say: “All this is nothing. These sounds that come from the tem ple of Neptune are not music compared with the harmonies of which I speak; these waters rushing in the basin of Pyrene are not pure; these statues of Bacchus and Mercury are not exqui site; your citadel of Aerocorinthus is not strong compared with that which I offer to the poorest slave that puts down his burden at that brazen gate. You Corinthians think this is a splen did city; you think you have heard all sweet Blinds and seen all beautiful , sights, lut 1 tell you eye hath not seen ; nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” You see my text sets forth the idea that, however exalted our hit .is of : heaven, they come far short of the re- j ality. Some wise men have been cal culating how many furlongs long and | wide is the new Jerusalem, and they have calculated how many Inhabitants there are on the earth, how long the earth will probably stand, and thou they come to this estimate—that after all the nations have been gathered to heaven there will be room for each soul, a room 1<5 feet long and 15 feet wide. It would not be large enough for you; It would not be large enough for me. I am glad to know that no human esti mate Is sufficient to take the dimen sions. “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard” or arithmeticians calculated. I first remark that we can get no idea of the health of heaven. WTien you were a child and you went out In the morning, how you bounded along the road or street You had never felt sor row or sickness. Perhaps later you felt a glow in your cheek and a spring in your step and an exuberance of spirits and a clearness of eye that made you thank God you were permitted to live. The nerves were harp strings, and the sunlight was a doxology, and the rus tling leaves were the rustling of the robes of a great crowd rising up to praise the Lord. You thought that you knew what It was to be well, but there Is no perfect health on earth. The dis eases of past generations came down to us. The airs that now float upon the earth ore not like those which floated above paradise. They are charged with iJnpurltle* aud distempers. The most elastic and robust health of earth, compared with that which those ex- (•erlence before whom the gates have been opened. Is nothing but sickness and emaciation. Look at that soul standing before the throne. On earth she was ft lifelong invalid. Hoe her stop now and hear her voice now. Patch. If you can. one breath of that celestial air. Health lu all the pulses, health of vision, health of spirits—Im mortal health. No racking cough, uo sharp pleurisies, no consuming fevers, no exhausting pains, no hospitals of wounded men. Health swinging lu the ulr; health flowing In all the streams; health blooming on the banks. No headaches, no side aches, no back aches. That child that died lu the agonies of croup, hour her voice now ringing in the anthem; that old man that went bowed down with the Infirmities of age, see him walk now with the step of an Immortal athlete, forever young dFthe hcavenljT air resuscitated Tier forever. For everlasting years to have neither ache nor pain nor weakness nor fatigue! “Eye hath not seen it; ear hatli not heard it.” I remark further that we can In this world get uo Just Idea of the splendors of heaven. John tries to describe them. He says “the 12 gates are 12 pearls” and that “the foundations of the wall are garnished with all manner of pre cious stones.” As we stand looking through the telescope of St. John we see a blaze of amethyst and pearl and emerald and sardonyx aud chrysopra- sus and sapphire, a mountain of light, a cataract of color, a sea of glass and a city like the sun. John bids us look again, and we see thrones—thrones of the prophets, thrones of the patriarchs, thrones of the angels, thrones of the apostle^, thrones of the martyrs, throne of Jesus, throne of God. And we turn round to see the glory, and it is thrones, thrones, thrones! John bids us look again aud see the great procession of the redeemed pass ing. Jesus, on a white horse, leads the march, and all the armies of heaven follow on white horses. Intlnlte cav alcade passing, passing; empires press ing into line, ages following ages; dispensation tramping after dispensa tion; glory in the track of glory; Eu rope, Asia, Africa, North and South America pressing Into lines; islands of the sea si oulder to shoulder; genera tions before the flood following gener ations after tiie flood, and as Jesus rises at the head of that great host and waves his sword in signal of victory all crowns are lifted and all ensigns swung out and all chimes rung and all halleluiahs chanted, and some cry, “Glory to God most high!” and some, “Hosanna to the son of David!” and some. “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!” till all exclamations of endear ment and homage in the vocabulary of heaven are exhausted and there coiqes up surge after surge of “Amen! Amen! and Amen!” “Eye hath not seen It; ear hath not heard it.” Skim from the summer waters the brightest sparkles, and you will get no idea of the sheen of the everlasting sea. Pile up the splendors of earthly cities, and the}’ would not make a stepping stone by which you might mount to the city of God. Every house is a palace; every step is a triumph; every covering of the head a coronation; every meal Is a ban quet; every stroke from the tower Is a wedding bell; every day Is a jubilee, every hour a rapture and every mo ment an ecstasy. "Eye hath not seen it; ear hath not heard it.” I remark further we can get no Idea of the reunions of heaven. If you have ever been across the seas and met a friend, or even an acquaintance, in some strange iand, you remember bow your blood thrilled and how glad you were to see him. What will be our Joy, after we have passed the seas of death, to meet in the bright city of the Lord those from whom we have long been separated. After we have been away from our friends 10 or 15 years and we come upon them we see how different ly they look. Their hair has turned, and wrinkles have come In their faces, and we say, “How you have changed!” But, oh, when we stand before the throne, all cares gone from the face, all marks of sorrow disappeared, and, feeling the joy of that blessed land, tnetbinks we will say to each other, with an exultation we cannot now im agine, “How you have changed!” In this world we only meet to part. It is goodby, goodby; farewells floating in the air. We hear It at the rail car window and at the steamboat wharf— goodby. Children lisp it and old age answers it. Sometltnes we say it in a light way—“goodby”—and sometimes with anguish in which the soul breaks down. Goodbj"! Ah, that Is the word that ends the thanksgiving banquets! That is the word that comes In to close the Christmas chant. Goodby, goodby! But not so in heaven. Welcomes in the air, welcomes at the gates, welcomes at the house of many mansions, but no goodby. That group is constantly be ing augmented. They are going up from our circles of earth to join it—lit tle voices to join the anthem, little hands to take hold lu the great home circle, little feet to dance lu the oterual glee, little crowns to be cast down be fore the feet of Jesus. Our friends are in two groups—a group this side of the river and a group on the other side of the river. Now there goes one from tliis to that and another from this to that, and soon we will all be gone over. How many of your loved ones have nl- rendy entered upon that blessed place? If I should take paper and pencil, do you think I could put them all down? Ah, my friends, the waves of Jordan roar so hoarsely we cannot hear the Joy on the other side when that group Is augmented! A little child's mother had died, and they comforted her. They said: “Your mother has gone to heaven. Don’t cry!” And the next day they went to the graveyard, and they laid the body of the mother down Into the ground, and the little girl came up to the verge of the grave and, looking down, said, “Is this heaven?” We have no Idea what heaven Is. It Is the grave here. It Is darkness here, but there Is merrymak ing yonder. Metliiuks when a soul ar rives some angel takes It around to show It the wonders of that blessed place. The usher angel says to the newly arrived: “These are the martyrs that perished at 1’iedmont; these were torn to pieces at the Inquisition; this Is the throne of the great Jehovah; this Is Jesus.” “I am going to see Jesus,” said a dying boy; “I am going to see Jesus.” The missionary said, “You are sure you will see him?” “Oh, yes; that’s what 1 want to go to heaven for.” “But,” said the missionary, "sup pose Jesus should go away from heav en what then?” “1 should follow him,” sai<l the dying boy. "But if Jesus went down to hell—what then?” The dying boy thought for a moment aud then said, “Where Jesus Is there can be no hell!” Oh, to stand in his presence! That will be heaven! Oh, to put our hand in that hand which was wounded for us on the cross, to go around amid the groups of the redeemed aud shake hands with the prophets aud apostles and martyrs and with our owu dear, beloved ones! That will bo the gn at reunion. We cannot imagine it now. Our loved ones seem so faraway. When we are in trouble and lonesome, they don't seem to come to us. We go on to the banks of the Jordan and call across I to them, but they do not seem to hear. We say, “Is it well with the child. Is it well with the loved ones?” and we lis ten to hear If any voice come back again. That night when the needlewo- Uian^faluted awajrJn the garret ojvave over the Waters. Nopg, m^ Uuboltef says, “They are dead, and they are an nihilated,” but, blessed be God, we have a Bible that tells us different. We open It, aud we find they are nei ther dead nor annihilated, that they were never so much alive as now, that they are only waiting for our coming and that we shall join them on the other side of the river. Oh, glorious reunion, we cannot grasp it now! “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” What a place of explanation it will be! I see every day profound myster ies of providence. There is no question we ask of tenor than why? There are hundreds of graves In Greenwood and Laurel Hill that need to be explained. Hospitals for the blind and lame, asy lums for the idiotic and insane, alms houses for the destitute and a world of pain and misfortune that demand more than human solution. God will clear it all up. In the light that pours from the throne no dark mystery can live. Things now utterly Inscrutable will be illumined as plainly as though the an swer were written on the jasper wall or sounded in the temple anthem. Bar- timeus will thank God that lie was blind and Joseph that he was cast into the pit and Daniel that he denned with the lions and Paul that ho was hump backed and David that he was driven from Jerusalem aud that invalid that for 20 years lie could not lift his head from the pillow aud that widow that she had such hard work to earn bread for her children. The song will be all the grander for earth’s weeping eyes and aching beads and exhausted bands and scourged backs and martyred ago nies. But we can get no idea of that anthem here. We appreciate the pow er of secular music, but do we appreci ate the power of sacred song? There Is nothing more inspiring to me than a whole congregation lifted on the wave of holy melody. When we sing some of those dear old psalms aud tunes, they rouse all the memories of the past. Why, some of them were cradle songs In our father’s house. They are all sparkling with the morning dew of a thousand Christian Sabbaths. They were sung by brothers and sisters gone now, by voices that were aged and bro ken in the music, voices none the less sweet because they did tremble aud break. When I bear these old songs sung, it seems as if all the old country meeting houses joined in the chorus and city church and sailor’s bethel and western cabins until the whole continent lifts the Doxology and the scepters of eter nity beat time In the music. Away then with your starveling tunes that chill the devotions of the sanctuary and make the people sit silent when Jesus is marching on to victory. When generals come back from victorious wars, do we not cheer them and shout, “Huzza, huzza?” and when Jesus pass es along in the conquest of the earth shall we not have for him one loud, ringing cheer? All hail the power of Jesus’ name I Let ariK' ls prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal <lia<iem And crown him Lord of all. But, my friends, if music on earth is so sweet what will it be in heaven? They all know the tune there. All the best singers of all the ages will Join it, choirs of white robed children, choirs of patriarchs, choirs of apostles. Morn ing stars clapping their cymbals. Harp ers with their harps. Great anthems of God roll on, roll on, other empires Joining the harmony till the thrones are all full and the nations all saved. Anthem shall touch anthem, chorus join chorus, and all the sweet sounds of earth ami heaven be poured into the ear of Christ. David of the harp will be there. Gabriel of the trumpet will be there. Germany, redeemed, will pour its deep, bass voice Into the song, and Africa will add to the music with her matchless voices. I wish we could anticipate that song. I wish In our closing hymn today we might catch an echo that slips from the gates. Who ! knows but that when the heavenly i door opens today to let some soul through there may come forth the j strain of the jubilant voices until we i catch it? Oh, that ns the song drops | down from heaven It might meet half way a song coming up from earth! They rise for Ihc doxology, all the multitude of the blessed. Let us rise with them, and so at this hour the joys of the church on earth and the Joys of the chinch in heaven will mingle their chalices, and the dark apparel of our mourning will seem to whiten into the spotless raiment of the skies. God grant that through the mercy of our Lord Jesus we may all get there! (Copyright. IMO. by Louis Klopsch.] Wire 'l'ni>i>iuit. The tapping of a telegraph wire Is a modern form of highway robbery. In the old days the method was to way lay the courier on the road and to rob him of his purse or of his message. The formula of the modern highway man is not "Stand and deliver!” but simply “Deliver!” And he may get a message from the lightning courier which may be worth more to him than a well fllled purse. But there Is nothing to be gained bj’ Indiscriminate tapping. It is some special message or information that the thief Is looking for, possibly for its effect on the stock market or on other business ventures. But the use of ci pher codes renders the tapping of tele graph wires of little avail even in time of war unless the code as well as the message has been stolen. For the tapping of power or light lines the modern highwayman comes In out of the rain. He can do his busi ness better Indoors by attacking the electric meter, confusing its calcula tions and thus getting more current than he pays for.

FLEMMING MAKES AN ELOQUENT PLEA Addresses General Assembly on Presbyterian Unity. HISTORY OF MOVEMENT He Goes Hacks to 1552, Whe- First Kfl'ort Was Made to Bring Churches Together — Pleads For Old Faith. Committee Reports. Atlanta, May 21.—The feature of the fourth day’s session of the Presbyterian assembly was the eloquent address of Dr. R. H. Flemming of Lynchburg,Va., who represented the western section of the alliance of reformed churches. Dr. Flemming reviewed the history of such movemeuts in modern times, be ginning with the council of trust. “In the year 1552, while the council of trust was framing its degrees against the doctrines of the reformation. Arch bishop Craumer invited Melaucthor, Bollinger, Baeer and Calvin to a confer ence in London for the purpose of fram ing an evangelical union creed. To this letter OalviA replied that ho would will ingly for, such an object to cross ten seas. “In this Calvin expressed the genius of the Reformed church, which has alwaj s been ready to receive as brethren all whom Christ has received.” The Evangelical Ylliauce is now com posed of 88 churches, scattered over the five continents of the world, represent ing 25,000,000 population. The late Dr. Moses D. Hogo had described it as tho noblest attempt ever made to give ex pression to Presbyterian unity. Dr. Alexander had well said at the last coun cil: “Isolation is at an end and co-oppra- tion has taken its place.” _ Dr. Flemming closed with an earnest appeal for allegiance to the old faith, saying that tho world’s greatest need today is a reaffirmation of the creed of the Reformation. He deprecated the new theology which makes sin the result of misfortune, robs Christ of divinity and makes him merely a religious genius. The judicial committee reported in fa vor of hearing the complaint of Rev. J. S. Shaw of Texas against the synod of Memphis, aud recommended that one hour aud a half he given to each side. Rev. Dr. G. A. Blackburn and Dr. Mur ray were appointed to represent tho com- ! plainant in his absence. The committee on overtures reported a large number which it recommended be answered in the negative. This was ordered by tho assembly with the excep tion of one from the Sewannee synod, which was referred for consideration. Rev. E. C. Cunningham of Yazoo City conducted the noon devotional ser vices. GREAT MISSIONARY RALLY. Large Audience Deeply Interested In the Proceedings.

Ocala, Fla., May 21 —The queer con duct of Julian Robinson, who recently shot and killed J. A. Walls and seri ously wounded Dr. Blitch here, has been explained by the prisoner. At times R ibinson would fall ui>oii the floor of his cell and remain in a stupor for sev eral hours, which was believed to be caused by poison, administered by his sister, who lias beeu sending the (iris- oner his meals. His condition led to an investigation and the startling discovery was made tiiat the prisoner had driven a (i-penny nail into his head in an effort to secure relief from a pressure on the brain, the prisoner stating that a lump had formed ou his brain which caused him inces sant (lain. The nail not giving tho de sired relief, Robinson took a wire off the bedspriug, which he inserted in the hole and twisted around. Physicians were summoned and the wire removed ami tho prisoner is resting easily: General Wheeler’s Successor.
