Washington, March 31.—In this dis course Dr. Tnlinage shows the Mes sianic sacrifices for tlie saving of all nations and speaks of Gethsemane as It appeared to him; text, I Corinthians vl, 20, “Ye are bought with a price." Your friend takes you through his valuable house. Y’ou examine the arch es, the frescoes, the grass plots, the fish ponds, the conservatories, the parks of deer, and you say within yourself or you say aloud,“What did all this cost?” You see a costly diamond flashing tn an earring, or you hear a costly dress ruFtling across the drawing room, or you see a high mettled span of horses harnessed with silver and gold, and you begin to make an estimate of the value. The man who owns a large estate cannot instantly tell you all It Is worth. He says, “I will estimate so much for the bouse, so much for the furniture, so much for laying out the grounds, so much for the stock, so much for the barn, so much for the equipage—add ing up in all making this aggregate.” Well, ray friends, I hear so much about our mansion in heaven, about Its furniture and the grand surroundings, that I want to know how much It is all worth and ^hat has actually been paid for It. I cannot complete In a month or a year the magnificent calculation, but before I get through today I hope to give you the figures. “Ye are bought with a price." With some friends I went to the Tow er of London to look at the crown Jew els. We walked around, caught one glimpse of them and, being In the pro- cession, were compelled to pass out. 1 wish that I could take this audience In to the tower of God’s mercy and strength, that you might walk around Just once at least and see tho crown jewels of eternity, behold their bril liance and estimate tfheir value. “Ye are bought wtth a price.” The Flrat Inatallment. Now, if you have a large amount of money to pay, you do not pay It ail at once, but you pay It by installments— so much the 1st of January, so much the 1st of April, so much the 1st of July, so much the 1st of October—until the entire amount is paid, am! 1 have to tell this audience that “you have been bought with a price" and that that price was paid in different install ments. The first installment paid for the clearance *f our souls was the igno minious birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Though we may never be carefully looked after afterward, our advent Into the world is carefully guarded. We come into the world amid kindly at tentions. Priv^r and silence are af forded when God launches an immortal soul into the world. Even the roughest of men know enough to stand back. But 1 have to tell you that In the vil lage on the side of the hill there was a very bedlam of uproar when Jesus was bom. In a village capable of accom modating only a few hundred people many thousand people were crowded, and amid hostlers and muleteers and camel drivers yelling at stupid beasts of burden the Messiah appeared. No silence. No privacy. A better adapted place hath the eaglet in the eyrie, bath the whelp In the lions’ lair. The exile of heaven lleth down upon straw. The first night out from the palace of heav en spent 'n an outhouse! One hour after laying aside the robes of heaven, dressed In a wrapper of coarse linen. One would have supposed that Christ would have made a more gradual de scent, coming from heaved first to ft half way world of great magnitude, then to Coesar’s palace, then to a mer chant’s castle In Galilee, then to a pri vate home in Bethany, then to a fisher man’s hut and last of all to a stable. No; it was one leap from the top to the bottom. Let us open the door of the caravan sary in Bethlehem and drive away the camels. Press on through the group of idlers and loungers. What, O Mary! No light? “No light,” she says, “save that which comes In through the doop" What, Mary, no food? “None,” she says, “only that which was brought In the sack on the Journey." I^t the Bethlehem woman who bus come In here with kindly attentions put back the covering from the Babe that we may look upon It Look I Look! Un cover your head. Let us kneel. Let all voices be bushed. Son of Mary! Son of God I Child of a day! Mon arch of eternity! In that eye the glance of a God. Omnipotence sheath ed In that Babe’s arm. That voice to be changed from the feeble ftlalnt to the tone that shall wake the dead. Hosanna I Hosanna I Glory be to God that Jesus came from throne to man ger, that we might rise from manger to throne and that all the gates are open and that the door of heaven, that once swung this way to let Jesus out, now swings the other way to let ua In. Let all the bellmen of heaven lay bold the rope and ring out the news: “Behold, I bring you glad tidings of great Joy, which shall be to all people. For to day is born In the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord!" ) Ckrlat'a Temptation. The second Inatallment paid for our aouls’ clearance was the scene In Qua** untnnia, a mountainous region, full of caverns, where are to this day pan thers and wild beasts of nil sorts, so that you must now go there armed with knife or gun or pistol. It was there that Jesus went to think and to pray, and It was tber that this mon ster of hell—more a!fr, more terrific than anything that prowled In that country—satan himself, met Christ. The roHe In the cheek of Christ—that Publius Lentulluy in his letter to the Uonioji senate ascribed to Jesus—that rose had scattered jts petals. Absti nence from food had throwu him Into eiiuU'lAtion. A long abstinence food recorded in profane history Is that of thd crew of tiio ship Juno. For 23 days they had nothing to eat. But this sufferer had fasted a mouth and ten days Itcfore he broke fast. Hunger must have agonized every fiber of the Itody and gnawed on the stomach with teeth of death. The thought of a mor sel of bread or meat must have thrilled the body with sometning tftce reroetty. Turn out a pack of men hungry us Christ was a-hungered, and If they had strength with one yell they would de vour you as a kid. It was in that pang of hunger that Jesus was accosted and satan said, “Now change these stones, which look like bread. Into an actual supply of bread.” Had the temptation come to you and me under those cir cumstances we would have cried, “Bread It shall be!” cud been almost impatient at the time taken for masti cation. But Christ with one hand beat back the hunger and with the other hand beat back the monarch of dark ness. Oh, ye tempted ones! Christ was tempted. We are told that Napo leon ordered a coat of mall made, but was not quite certain that It was im penetrable, so he said to the manufac turer of the coat of mall, “Put It on now yourself and let us try It.” And with shot after shot from his own pis tol the emperor found out that It was Just what It pretended to be—a good coat of mail. Then the man received a large reward. I bless God that the same coat of mail that struck back the weapons of temptation from the head of Christ we may now all wear, for Jesus comes and says: “I have been tempted, and I know what It Is to be tempted. Take this robe that defended me and wear It for yourselves. I shall see you through all trials, and I shall see you through all temptation.” Trlnmpk Over Satan. “But,” says satan still further to Je sus, “come, and I will show you some thing worth looking at, and after a half day’s Journey they came to Jerusalem and to the top of the temple. Just as one might go up In the tower of Ant werp and look off upon Belgium, so satan brought Christ to the top of the temple. Some people at a great height feel dizzy and a strange disposition to Jump, so satan comes to Christ In that very crisis. Standing there at tho top of the temple, they looked off. A mag nificent reach of country. Gralnflclds, vineyards, olive groves, forests and strecuns, cattle In the valley, flocks on the hills and villages and cities and realms. “Now,” says satan, “I'll make a bargain. Just Jump off. I know It Is a great way from the top of the temple to the valley, but If you are di vine you can fly. Jump off. It won’t hurt you. Angels will catch you. Your Father will bold you. Besides, I’ll make you a large present If you will. I’ll give you Asia Minor, I’ll give you China, I’ll give you Ethiopia, I’ll give you Italy, I’ll give you Spain, I’ll give you Germany, I’ll give you Brit ain, I’ll give you all the world.” What a temptation It must have been! « Go tomorrow morning and get In an altercation with some wretch crawling up from a gin cellar In the lowest part of your city. “No,” you say, “I would not bemoan myself by getting Into such a contest” Then think of what the King of heaven and earth endured when be came down and fought the great wretch of hell and fought him in the wilderness and on top of the temple. But I bless God that in the triumph over temptation Christ gives us the assurance that we also shall triumph. Having himself been tempt ed, he Is able to succor all those who are tempted. In a \iolept storm at sea the mate told a boy—for the rigging bad become entangled In the mast—to go up and right It. A gentleman standing on the deck said: “Don’t send that boy up. He will be dashed to death.” The mate said, “I know what I am about." The boy raised bis hat in recognition of the order and then rose hand over band and went to work. And as be swung in the storm the passengers wrung their bands and expected to see him fall. The work done, he came down in safety, and a Christian man said to him, “Why did you go down In the forecastle before yon went up?" "AhI" said the boy, “1 went down to pray. My mother al ways taught me, before I undertook anything great to pray.” “What la that you have In your vest?” “Oh, that Is the New Testament,” he said. “I thought I would carry It with me If 1 really did go overboard.” How well the boy was protected 1 I care not how great the height or how vast the depth, with Christ within us and Christ beneath ua and Christ above us and Christ all around us, nothing can befall us in the way of barm. Christ himself having been In the tempest will deliver all those who put their trust In him. Blessed be his glorious name forever! The Prayer la GetheemaafO. The third Installment paid for our redemption was the agonizing prayer In Gethsemane. Aa I sat In that gar den, at the foot of an old giffirled and twisted olive tree, the historic scene came upon me overwhelmingly. These old olive trees are the lineal descend ants of those under which Christ stood and wept and knelt Have the leaves of whole botanical generations told tbs story of our Lord's agony to their suc cessors? Next to Calvary, the solemn- est place Id Palestine la Gethsemane. While sitting there It seemed as If I could hear our Lord’s prayer, laden with sobs and groans. Can this be the Jesus who gathered fragrance from the frankincense brought to his cradle and irom me.lilies that flung their sweet ness Into tils sermons and from the box of alabaster that broke at his feet? Is this Jesus tlie comforter of Bethany, the resurrector at Naln, the oculist at Bethsaida? Is this the Christ whose frown la the storm, whose smile is the sunlight, the spring morning his breath, the thunder his voice, the ocean a drop on the tip of his finger, heaven a spar kle on the bosom of his love, the uni verse the dust of his chariot wheel? Is this the Christ who |s able to heal a heartbreak, or hush a tempest, or drown a world, or flood Immensity with his glory? Behold him In prayer, tha globules of blood by sorrow pressed through jjie skin of his forehead! What an installment in part payment of ths greatest price that was ever paid! The fourth Installment {taid for our redemption was the Baviour’s sham trial. I call It a sham trial—there has never been anything so Indecent or un fair In any criminal court as was wit nessed at tho trial of Christ. Why, they hustled him Into tho courtroom at 2 o'clock In the morning. They gave him no tlmo for counsel. They gave him no opportunity for subpamalng Witnesses. The ruffians who were wan dering aroum) through the midnight, of course they saw tha arrest and went Into the courtroom. But Jesus’ f. ends were sober men, were respectable on, • n, t at that hour. 2 o’clock In tbo morn ing. or course they were at home asleep. Consequently Christ entered the courtroom with the ruffians. World’s Best Friend. Oh, look at him! No one to speak a word for him. I lift the lantern until 1 can look Into his face, and as my heart beats lu sympathy for tills, the best friend the world ever had, himself now utterly friendless, an officer of the courtroom comes up and smites him in the mouth, ami I see the blood steal ing from gum and lip. Ob. it was a farce of a trial, lasting only perhaps an hour, and then the judge rises for sentence. Stop! It Is against tlie law to give sentence unless there has been an adjournment of the court between condemnation and sentence. But what cares the Judge for the law? “The man has no friends. Let him die,” says the judge. And the ruffians outside the rail cry: “Aha, aha! Tliat’s what we want! Pass him out here to us! Away with him! Away with him!” Oh, I bless God that amid all the In justice that may have been Inflicted upon us In this world we have a divine sympathizer! The world cannot He about you nor abuse you as much as they did Christ, and Jesus stands today In every courtroom. In every house, In every store, and says: “Courage! By all my hours of maltreatment and abuse I will protect those who are trampled upon.” And when Christ for gets that 2 o’clock morning scene, and the stroke of the ruffian on the mouth, and the bowling of the unwashed crowd, then he will forget you and me In the Injustices of life that may be in flicted upon us. Further 1 remark, the last great in stallment paid for our redemption was the demise of Christ The world has seen many dark days. Many summers ago there was a very dark day when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at noonday went to their perch, and we felt a gloom as we looked at the as tronomical wonder. It w’as a dark day In London when the plague was at Its height and the dead with uncovered faces were taken In -open carts and dumped In the trenches. It was a dark day when the earth opened and Lisbon sank, but the darkest day since the creation of the world was when tho carnage of Calvary was enacted. On Calvary's Cross. It was about noon when the curtain began to be drawn. It was not the coming on of a night that soothes and refreshes; it was the swinging of a great gloom all around the heavens. God hung it. As when there Is a dead one In the house you bow the shutters or turn the lattice, so God in the after noon shut the windows of the world. As It is appropriate to throw a black pall upon the coffin as It passes along, so It was appropriate that everything should be somber that day as the great hearse of the earth rolled on bearing the corpse of the king. A man’s last hours are ordinarily kept sacred. How ever you may have hated or carica tured a man, when you hear he is dy ing silence puts Its hand on your Hits, and you w’ould have a loathing for the man who could stand by a deathbed making faces and scoffing. But Christ In his last hour cannot be left alone. What! Pursuing him yet after so long a pursuit? You have been drinking his tears. Do you want to drink his blood? They come up closely, so that notwithstanding the darkness they can glut their revenge with the contortions of his countenance. They examine his feet; they want to feel for themselves whether those feet are really spiked; they put out their hands and touch the spikes and bring them back wet with blood and wipe them on their gar ments. Women stand there and weep, but can do no good. It Is no place for the tender hearted women. It wants a heart that crime has turned Into gran ite. The waves of man’s hatred and of bell’s vengeance dash up against the mangled feet, and the hands of sin and pain and torture clutch for bis holy heart Had he not been thoroughly fastened to the cross they would have torn him down and trampled him with both feet— How the cavalry horses arched their necks and champed their bits and reared and snuffed at the blood! Had a Roman officer called out for a light bis voice would not have been beard In tbo tumult, but louder than the clash of spears, and the wall ing of womanhood, and the neighing of the chargers, and the bellowing of the cruclfiers there comes a voice crashing through—loud, clear, overwhelming, terrific. It Is the groaning of the dying son of God! Look! What a scene! Look, world, at what vrm imwo I lift the covering from the Maltreat ed Christ to let you count the wounds and estimate the cost. Oh, when the nails went through Christ’s right hand and through Christ’s left hand, that bought both your hands with all their power to work and lift and write. When the nails went through Christ’s right foot and Christ’s left foot, that bought yqpr feet, with all their power to walk or run or climb. When tho thorn tout Into Christ’s temple, yiat bought your brain, with all its power to think and plan. When the spear cleft Christ’s side, that bought your heart, with all its power to love and repent and pray. When the Atlantic cable was lost In 1805, do you remember that the Great Eastern and the Medway and the Al bany went out to find It? Thirty times they sank the grapucl two and a half miles deep In water. After awhile they found the cable and brought it to tho surface. No sooner had It been brought to the surface than they Ilf' ed a shout of exultation, nut the cable slipped back again into the water and was lost. Then for two weeks more they swept the sea with the grappling hooks, and at lost they found the cable, and they brought It up in silence. They fastened It this time. Then with great excitement they took one end of the cable to the electrician’s room to see If there were really any life In It, nnd, when they saw a spark and knew that a message could be sent, then every tint W’as lifted, and the rockets flew, nnd the guns sounded until all the vessels on the expedition knew, and the con tinents were lashed together. Well, my friends, Sabbath after Sabbath gos pel messengers have come searching down for your souls. Wo have swept the sea with the grappling hook of Christ’s gospel. Again and again wo have thought that you were at the sur face, and we began to rejoice over your redemption, but fhe moment of our gladness you sank back again Into tha world and back again Into sin. Today we coma with the gospel searching for jvur cuui. ** e uppiy uie cross or Christ first to sec whether there Is any life left In you, while all around tho people stand, looking to see whether the work will be done, nnd the angels of God bend down and witness, and, oh. If now we could see only one spark of love and hope and faith we would send up a shout that would be heard on the battlements of heaven, and two worlds would keep jubilee because communication Is open between Christ and the soul and your nature tlm* lias been sunken In sin has been lifted into tlie light nnd the joy of the gospel, tCopyright, 1901, l,y Louis Klopsch, N.

We are requested to state that a meeting of the farmers of Cherokee county will be held in the court house at this place on Saturday morning next at II o’clock. It in desired that every farmer in the county shall be present at this meet ing, as its object is to organize for tho purpose of reducing the acreage of cotton. Too much of the staple is being planted and the farmers realize that they must take some steps toward remedying the evil. Farmers in other counties are organ izing for this purpose and our Chero kee tillers of the soil should do the same, for “in unity there is strength.” Raising cotton at six and seven cents doesn’t pay the planter by any means, and so long as there is an overproduction of the crop, just so long wil 1 the price re main down.
