On the ftlKht Hand I nliellef and lie- morse, on Hie I,eft I’c-nltonee und Content, While In Hie C'enler Is lOverlHstluK Love. Wabhinoton, Sept. 9.—The famous paintings in the picture galleries of Munich seem to have suggested the topic of this discourse, which I>r. Tal- tuage sends from the quaint Bavarian town, but the theme which inspired the painters awakens In the great preach”!’ thoughts of the redemption of the hu man race, which was the supreme de sign of that scene of suffering and death. The text Is Luke xxiil, ".9, “There they erucifled him and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.” Just outside of Jerusalem Is a swell of ground, toward which a crowd are ascending, for it is the day of execu tion. What a mighty assemblage! Some for curiosity to hear what the malefactors will say and to see how they will act. The three persons to be executed are already there. Some of the spectators are vile of lip and bloat ed of cheek. Some look up with re venge, hardly able to keep their hands off (lie sufferers. Some tear their own hair in a frenzy of grief. Some stand in silent horror. Some break out into uncontrollable weeping. Some clap their hands in delight that the offend ers are to be punished at last. The sol diers with drawn swords drive hack the mob, which presses on so hard. There is fear that the proceedings may be interrupted. Let the legion, now stationed at Jerusalem, on horseback, dash along the line and force back the surging multitude. “Back with you!” is the cry. “Have you never before seen a man die?” Three crosses in a row—an upright piece and two transverse pieces, one at the top, on which the hands are nailed, and one at the middle, on which the victim sat. Three trees just plant ed, yet bearing fruit—the one at the right bearing poison, and the one at the left hitter aloes; the one in the middle, apples of love. Norway pine and trop ical orange and Lebanon cedar would not make so strange a grove as this orchard of Calvary. Stand and give a look at the three crosses. The Talk on the CroMHes. Just look at the cross on the right. Its victim dies scoffing. More awful than Ids physical anguish is Ids scorn and hatred of him on the middle cross. This wretched man turns half around on the spikes to hiss at the one in the middle. If the scoffer could get one hand loose, and he were within reach, he would smite the middle sufferer in the face, lie hates him with a perfect hatred. I think he wishes he were down on the ground that he might spear him. He envies the mechanics who with their nails have nailed him fast. Amid the settling darkness and louder than the crash of the rocks hear him jeer out these words: “Ah, you poor wretch! 1 know you were an Im postor! You pretended to be a (Jod, and yet you let these legions master you.” It was in some such hate that Voltaire In his death hour, because he thought he saw Christ In his bedroom, got up on his elbow and cried out, “Crush that wretch!” What had the middle cross done to arouse up this right hand cross? Nothing. Oh, the enmity of the natural heart against Christ! The world likes a sentimental Christ or a philanthropic Christ, but a Christ who comes to snatch men away from their sins—away with him! On this right hand cross today I see typi fied the unbelief of the world. Men say: "Back with him from tin* heart! I will not let him take my sins. If lie will die, let him die for himself, not for me.” There has always been a war between this right hand cross and the middle cross, and wherever there Is an unbelieving heart, there the light goes on. Oh, if when that dying malefactor perished, the faithlessness of man had perished, then that tree which yields poison would have budded and blos somed with life for all the world! Look up Into that disturbed counte nance of the sufferer and see what a ghastly thing it is to reject Christ. Be hold in that awful face, in that pitiful look, in that unblessed death hour, the stings of the sinner’s departure. What a plunge into darkness! Standing high upon the cross on the top of the hill, so that all the world may look at him, ho says. "Here I go out of a miserable life into a wretched eternity!” One, two, three! Listen to the crash of the fall, all ye ages! So Hobbes, dying after he had 70 years in which to prepare for eternity, said, "Were 1 master of all the world I would give it nil to live one day longer.” Sir Francis Newport, hovering over the brink, cried out: “Wretch that I am, whither shall I lly from this breast? What will become of me? Oil, that I wore to lie upon tho lire that never Is quenched a thousand years, to purchase the favor of Cod and to he reconciled to him again! Oh, eternity: oh, eternity! Who can dis cover the abyss of eternity? Who can paraphrase these words: ‘Forever and forever?’ ” Remorae nu the It I u lit Hand. That right hand cross — thousands have perished on it in worse agonies. For what is physical pain compared to remorse at the last, that life has been wasted and only a fleeting moment stands between the soul and Its ever lasting overthrow? O God, let me dio anywhere rather than at the foot of that right hand cross! Let not one drop of that blood fall upon my cheek. Bend not my ear with that cry. I boo It now as never before—the loathsome ness and horror of my unbelief. That dying malefactor was not so much to blame as I. Christianity was not es tablished, and perhaps not until that day had that man heard the Christ. But after Christ had stood almost 1.900 centuries, working the wonders of hiK grace, you reject him. That rigid hand cross, with its long beam, overshadows all the earth. It Is planted In the heart of the race. When will the time come when the spirit of Cod shall, with Its ax, hew down that right hand cross until it shull fall at the foot of that middle cross and unbe lief, the railing malefactor of the world, shall perish from 1.11 our hearts? Awaj from me, thou spirit of unbelief! 1 hate thee! With this sword of Cod I thrust thee hack and thrust thee through! Down to hell! Down, most accursed monster of the earth, and talk Lu llivs- tlion hast ulycady damn- ed! Talk no longer to these sons of Cod, these heirs of heaven! “If thou he the Son of Cod.” Was there any “if” about It? Toll me, thou star, that in robe of light did run to point out his birthplace. Tell me, thou sea, that didst put thy hand over thy lip when he hade thee he still. Tell me, ye dead, who got up to see him die. Tell me, thou sun in mid heaven, who for him didst pull down over thy face thy veil of darkness. Tell me, ye lepers who were cleansed, ye dead v ho were raised, is he the Son of Cod? Aye, aye! responds the uni verse. The flowers breathe it; the stars chime it; the redeemed celebrate it; the angels rise on their thrones to an- nounee it. And yet on that miserable malefactor's “if” how many shall he wrecked for all eternity! That little “if” has enough venom in its sting to cause the death of the soul. No “if” about it. I know it. Ecee Dens! I feel it thoroughly—through every mus cle of the body and through every fac ulty of my mind and through every energy of my soul. Living. I will preach it; dying. I will pillow my head upon its consolations—Jesus the God. Away, then, from tills right hand cioss. The red berries of the forest are apt to he poisonous, and around this tree of carnage grow the red, poi sonous berries of which many have tasted and died. I can see no use for this right hand cross, except it he used as a lover with which to upturn the unbelief of the world. The Left Hnntl Cross. Here from the right hand cross I go to the left hand cross. Pass clear to the other side. That victim als wist* himself upon the nails to look at the center cross, yet not to scoff. It is to worship. Ho. too. would like to got his hand loose, not to smite, but to deliver the sufferer of the middle cross, lie cries to tho railer cursing on the other side*: “Silence! Between us is innocence in agony. Wo suffer for our crimes. Silence!” Gather round this left hand cross, O ye people! Be not afraid. Bitter herbs are sometimes a tonic for the body, and the bitter aloes that grow on this tree shall give strength and life to thy soul. This left band cross is a repenting cross. As men who have been nearly drown ed tell us that in one moment, while they were under the water, their whole life passed before them, so I suppose in one moment the dying malefactor thought over all his past life—of that night when he went Into an unguarded door and tool; all the silver, the gold, the jewels, and as the sleeper stirred, he put a knife through his heart; of that day when, in the lonely pass, lie met the wayfarer and regardless of the cries and prayers and tears and strug gles of Ids victim he flung the mangled corpse into the dust of the highway or heaped upon it the stones. He says: “I am a guilty wretch; I deserve tills! There is no need of my cursing. That will not stop the pain. There is no need of blaspheming Christ, for he has done me no wrong, a ad yet I cannot die so. The tortures of my body are undone by the tortures of my soul. The past is a scene of misdoing. The pres ent a erueilixion. The future an ever lasting undoing. Come back, thou hid ing midday sun! Kiss my cheek with one bright ray of comfort. What, no help from above—no help from be neath? Then I must turn to my com panion in sorrow, the One on the mid dle cross. I have heard that he knows how to help a man when he is in trou ble. I have heard that he can cure the wounded. I have heard that he can pardon the sinner. Surely, in all his wanderings up and down the earth, be never saw one more In need of Ids for giveness! Blessed One! I turn to thee! Wilt thou turn for the moment away from thy own pangs to pity me! Lord, It is not to have my hands relieved or my feet taken from the torture. I can stand all this; but, oh, my sins, my sins, my sins, they pierce me through and through. They tell me I must die forever. They will push me out into tho darkness unless thou wilt help me. I confess it all. Hear the cry of the dying thief, ‘Lord, remember me when thou comost into thy kingdom.’ I ask no great things. I seek for no throne in heaven, no chariot to take me to the skies, hut just think of me when tlds day’s horrors have passed. Think of me a little—of me, the one now hang ing at thy side—when (lie shout of heavenly welcome takes thee hack Into thy glory. Thou wilt not forget me, wilt thou? ‘Lord, reinendier me when thou contest Into thy kingdom.’ Only just remember me.” Ileix-ninnco Mimt Come. Likewise must wo repent. You say, “I have stolen nothing.” I reply: "Wo have all boon guilty of the mightiest felony of the universe, for we have robbed God—robbed him of our time, robbed him of our talent, robbed him of our services." Suppose you send a man out as an agent of your firm and every month you pay him his sal ary and at the end of ten years you find out that lie has been serving an other firm, hut taking your salary, would you not at once condemn him as dishonest? God sent us into this world to serve him. He has given us wages all the time. Yet how many of us have been serving another master) When a man Is convicted of treason, he Is brought out; a regiment sur- rounds him. and the command Is elven*. “Atteimon. company! Take aim! Fire!” And the man falls with a hun dred bullets through his heart. There comes a time In a man's history when the Lord calls up the troop of Ids In iquities and at God's command they pour into him a concentrated volley of torture. You say, “I don’t feel myself to ho a sinner.” That may he*. Walk along by the cliffs, and you see sunlight and (lowers at the mouth of the cave, but lake i torch anil go in, and before you have gone far you see the (lashing eye of a wild beast or hear the hiss of a serpent. So the heart seems In the sunlight of worldliness, hut as I wave the torch of God’s truth and go down Into the deep cavern of the heart—alas, for the bristling horrors and the rat tling fangs! Have you ever noticed the climax in this passage of Scrip ture, “The heart Is deceitful.” That seems enough. But the passage goes on and says, ’’The heart Is deceitful above all things." Will you not say that Is enough? But the passage goes on further and says, “The heart Is de ceitful above all things and desperate ly wicked If we could see the true condition of the unpardoned before God, what wringing of hands there would be! What a thousand voiced sljijek of suPDllcatluu and depulrl But you are n sinner, a sinner. I speak not to thy person who sits next to you, hut to you. You are a sinner. All tie* transgressions of a lifetime have been gathered up into an avalanche. At any moment it may slip from the cliffs and crush you forever. May the Lord Almighty, by Ids grace, help us to re pent of our sins while repentance Is possible. This left hand cross was a believing cross. There was no guesswork in that prayer, no “if” in that supplica tion. The left hand cross flung itself at the foot of tin* middle cross, expect ing mercy. Faith Is only just opening the hand to take what Christ offers us. The work is all done; the bridge is built strong enough for us all to walk over. Tap not at the door of God’s mercy with the tip of your lingers, but ns a warrior with gauntleted lists beats at the castle gate, so, with all tho aroused energies of our souls, let us pound at the gate of heaven. That gate is locked. You go to it with a bunch of keys. You try philosophy. That will not open it. A large door generally has a ponderous key. I take the cross and place the foot of it in the lock and by the two arms of the cross I turn the lock, and the door opens. Word* of I'nrdon. This left hand cross was a pardoned cross. Tho crosses were only two or three yards apart. It did not take long for Christ to hear. Christ might have turned away and said: “How darest thou speak to me? I am the Lord of heaven and earth. I have seen your violence. When you struck down that man in tho darkness. 1 saw you. You are getting a just reward. Die in darkness—die forever.” But Jesus said not so, hut rather, “This day thou shall he with me in paradise,” as much as to say: “I see you there; do not worry. I will not only bear my cross, but help you with yours.” Forthwith the left hand cross be comes the abode of contentment. The pillow of tho malefactor, soaked in blood, becomes like the crimson uphol stery of a king’s couch. When the body became still, and the surgeons feeling the pulse said one to another, “He is dead,” the last mark of pain had gone from his face. IVace had smoothed his forehead. Peace closed his eyes. Peace closed his lips. Now you see why there were two transverse pieces on the cross, for It has become a lad der into the skies. That dying head is easy which has under it the promise. “This day thou shall be witli me in paradise.” Y’e whose lips have been filled with blasphemy, ye whose hands for many years have wrought un righteousness, ye who have companion ed with the unclean, ye who have scal ed every height of transgression and fathomed every depth and passed ev ery extreme of iniquity—mercy, mercy! The dyins thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day, Ami there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. Tills C’i-omn Wu* I<’or You. I have shown you the right hand cross and the left hand cross; now come to the middle cross. We stood at the one and found it yielded poison. We stood at the other and found it yielded bitter aloes. Come, now, to the middle cross and shake down apples of love. Uncover your head. You nev er saw so tender a scene as Ibis. You . may have seen father or mother or companion or child tile, hut never so affecting a scene as this. The railing thief looked from one way and saw only the right side of Christ’s face. The penitent thief looked from the other way and saw the left side of Christ’s fact*. But today, in the full blaze of gospel light, you see Christ’s full face. It was a suffering cross. If the weap ons of torture had gone only through the fatty portions of the body, the tor ture would not have been so great, but they went through the hands and feet and temples—the most sensitive por tions. It was not only the spear that went into his side, hut the sins of all the race—a thousand spears plnn-re after plunge, deeper an 1 deeper, uni 11 the silence and composure that before characterized him gave way to a groan, through which rumbled the sorrows of time and the woes of eternity. Hu man bate had done its worst and hell had hurled its sharpest javelin and devils had vented their hottest rage, when, witli every nerve of Ids body In torture and every fiber of his heart in excruciation, he cried out. “My Cod, my Cod, why hast thou forsaken me?” It was a vicarious cross; the right hand cross suffered for itself, the I ft hand cross for itself, but the middle cross for you. When a king was dy ing, a young man cried, “Pour my Mood Into his veins, that he die not.” f ho veins of tin* voimir ninn were tan- ped and the blood transferred; so that the king lived hut the young man died. Christ saw the race perishing. He cried, “Pour my blood Into their veins, that they die not.” My baud Is free now, because Christ's was crush ed. My brow Is painless now, because Christ's was torn. My soul escapes, because Clirlst’s was hound. I gain heaven, because Christ for me endured the horrors of hell. When the Swiss were many years ago contending against their enemies, they saw these enemies arrayed In solid phalanx and knew not how to break their ranks, but one of their heroes, Arnold von Wlnkelried, rushed out lu front of his regiment and shout ed, “Make way for liberty!” The weapons of the enemy were plunged Into his heart, but while they were slaying him. of course their ranks were broken, and through that gap In the ranks the Swiss dashed to victory. Christ saw all the powers of darkness assailing men. lie cried out, “Make way for the redemption of the world.” A!! tho weapons of Infernal wrath struck him, but ns they struck him our race marched out free. A CroivM to Cllua To. To this middle cross look, that your souls may live. I showed you tho right hand cross In order that you might see what an awful thing it Is to he unbelieving. I showed you tin* left hand cross that you might see what It Jh to repent. Now I show you the middle cross that you may see what Christ has done to save your soul. Poets have sung its praise, sculptors have attempt ed to commemorate It in marble, mar tyrs have clung to It In the fire and Christians dying quietly in their beds have leaned their heads against it. This hour may all our souls embrace It with an ecstasy of uffcctlou. Lay hold of that cross! everything else will full you. Without a strong grip on that you perish. Put your hand on that and you are safe, though u world BWlilg from beneath your feet Oh, that I might engrave on your souls inoffaceably tho three crosses, so that if in your waking moments you will not heed, then in your dreams at night you may see on the hill back of Jerusalem ‘the three spectacles—the right hand cross showing unbelief, dy ing without Christ; the left hand, showing what it is to be pardoned, while the central cross pours upon your soul the sunburst of heaven as it says: “By all these wounds I plead for thy heart. I have hfved thee with an everlasting love. Rivers cannot quench it. Floods cannot drown it.” And while you look, tho right hand eross will fade out of sight, and then the left will be gone, and nothing will re main but the middle cross and even that in your dream will begin to change until it becomes a throne, and the worn face of Calvary will become radiaht with gladness, and instead of the mad mob at the foot of the cross will he a worshipful multitude, kneel ing. And you and 1 will ho among them. But. no; we will not wait for such a dream. In this our most aroused mood we throw down at the foot of that mid die cross sin. sorrow, life, dt ath—every thing. We are slaves; Christ gives do- liveranee to the captive. Wearo thirsty; Christ is the river of salvation to slake our thirst. Wo are hungry; Jesus says. ’’1 am the bread of life.” We are condemned to die; Christ says, “Save that man from going down to the pit; I am the ransom.” We are tossed on the sea of trouble; Jesus comes over it, saying, "it is I, be not afraid.” We are in darkness; Jesus says, “l am the bright and morning star.” We are sick; Jesus is tho “halm of Gilead.” The ReMiiri'cctlon and the Life. Wo an* dead; hear the shrouds rend and tlie grave hillocks heave, as he cries. “I am tin* resurrection and the life; he that belie vet h in mo, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” We want justification; “Being justified by faith, we have peace with Cod through our Lord Jesus Christ.” We want to exercise faith; “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved.” I want to get from under condemna tion; “There is now. therefore, no con demnation to tin m who are in Christ Jesus.” Tho cross- lu* carried it. The flames of heil- lie suffered them. The shame—be endured it. The crown— he won it. Heights of heaven sing it ami worlds of light to worlds of light all round the heavens cry, “Glory, glory!” Let us go forth and gather the trophies for Jesus. From Golconda mines we gather the diamonds; from Ceylon shores we gather the pearls; from all lands and kingdoms we gather precious stones, and we bring the glit tering burdens and put them down at the feet of Jesus and say: “All these are thine. Thou are worthy.” We go forth again for more trophies, and into one sheaf we gather all the scepters of the Cicsars and the Alexanders and the czars and the sultans and of all royalties and dominions, and then wo bring the sheaf of scepters and put it down at. the feet of Jesus and say. “Thou art King of kings; all these thou hast conquered.” And then we go forth again to gather more trophies, and we hid the redeemed of ages, the sons and daughters of tho Lord Almighty, to come. And the hosts of heaven bring crown and palm and scepter and hen* by these bleeding feet and this riven ■fide and by this wounded heart cry, “Blessing and honor and glory and power unto the Lamb, for ever and ••ver.” [Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.J After the Refreshing shower of Wednesday I announce to the trading public that I am better prepared than ever to meet their wants in all departments of my business, knowing that they feel more like buying now than before.

The opening was marked by tl. attendance of about 2fi(J pupil?, main of whom are from a distance and board in the city. This is the largest number the schools have ever had a: an opening before, and it should be a source of satisfaction to the trustees as well as one of inspiration to the teachers. Of course more pupils un expected and there will no doubt b- a daily increase in number fur two weeks or more. A number of Im provements have been made upon the buildings and grounds since the lust term and Gaffney now has as com plete a system of graded schools and us handsome buildings for the samt as can be found in tho State.
