I ona I n ion Awalta l a.
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!

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. Such m least seems
to Ik* the Implication of recent statutes.

DR. 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.

NAIL AND WIRE IN HIS BRAIN.
Robinson Resorts to Drastic Measures
to Secure Reiiei'.
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
