Are things really so

the trouble is. Your

Washington, April 21.—In this dis
course Dr. Tnlmnge sounds the praises
of the world's Redeemer and puts be
fore us the portraits of some of Uls
great disciples and exponents; text,
Jehu Hi, 31, “He that eometh from
above is above all.’’ ,
The most conspicuous character of
history stops out upon the platform.
The finger which, diamonded with light,
pointed down to him from the Hothlc-
hom sky was only a ratification of the
finger of prophecy, the finger of gene
alogy, the finger of chronology, the fin
ger of events—all five fingers pointing
In one direction. Christ Is the overtop
ping figure of nil time. He is the vox
humauu in all music, the gracefullest
line in all sculpture, the most exquisite
mingling of lights and shades in nil
painting, the acme of all climaxes, the
dome of all cathedraled grandeur and
the peroration of all splendid language.
The Greek alphabet is made up of 24
letters, and when Christ compared him
self to the first letter and the last let
ter, tho alpha and the omega, lie appro
priated to himself all the splendors
that you cau spell out with those two
letters and all the letters between tbem.
“I am the alpha and the omega, the be
ginning and the end, the first and the
last.” Or, if you prefer the words of
the text, "Above all.”
It means, after you have piled up all
Alpiue and Himalayan altitudes, the
glory of Christ would have to spread
Its wings and descend a thousand
leagues to touch those summits, relion,
a high mountain of Thessaly; Ossa, a
high mountain, and Olympus, a high
mountain, but mythology tells us when
the giants warred against the gods
they piled up these three mountains
and from the top of them proposed to
scale the heavens, but the height was
not great enough, and there was a
complete failure. Aud after all tfie
giants—Isaiah and Paul, prophetic and
apostolic giants; Raphael and Michael
Angelo, artistic giants; cherubim and
seraphim and archangel, celestial
giants—have failed to climb to the top
of Christ’s glory they might all well
unite in the words of the text and say,
"He that eometh from above is above
all.”
Chriat Seta the Eanntple.
First, Christ must be above all else
In our preaching. There are so many
book on homiletics scattered through
the world that all laymen, as wyll as
all clergymen, have made up their
minds what sermons ought to be. That
sermon is most effectual which most
pointedly puts forth Christ ns the par
don of nil sin and the correction of all
evil, individual, social, political, na
tional. There Is no reason why we
should ring the endless changes on a
few phrases. There are those who
think that If an exhortation or a dis
course have frequent mention of justi
fication, sanctilication, covenant of
works aud covenant of grace, there
fore It must be profoundly evan
gelical, while they are suspicious of a
discourse which presents the same
truth, but under different phraseology.
Now, 1 say there Is nothing in all the
opulent realm of Anglo-Saxonlsm or
all the word treasures that we inherit
ed from the Latin and the Greek aud
the Indo-European but we have a right
to marshal it in religious discussion.
Christ sets the example. Ills illustra
tions were from the grass, the flowers,
the spittle, the salve, the barnyard
fowl, the crystals of salt, as well as
from the sens and tbe stars, and we do
not propose In our Sunday school teach
ing and in our pulpit address to be put
on tbe limits.
I know that there Is a great deal said
In our day against words, as though
they were nothing. They may be mis
used, but they have an imperial power.
They are the bridge between soul and
soul, between Almighty God and the
human race. What did God write upon
the tables of stone? Words. What did
Christ utter on Mount Olivet? Words.
Out of what did Christ strike the spark
for the Illumination of the universe?
Out of words. "Let there bo light'’
and light was. Of course thought is
the cargo and words are only the ship,
but how fast would your cargo get on
without tbe ship? What you need, my
friends, in all your work, in your Sun
day school class. In your reformatory
institutions, and what we all need is
to enlarge our vocabulary when we
come to speak about God and Christ
and heaven. We ride a few old words
to death when there is such Illimitable
resource. Shakespeare employed 15.000
different words for dramatic purposes;
Milton employed 8,000 different words
for poetic purposes; Rufus Choate em
ployed over 11,000 different words for
legal purposes, but the most of us have
less than a thousand words that we
can manage, less than 500, and that
makes us so stupid.
Pardon For Dlrcat Golll,
When we come to set forth tbe love
of Christ, we are going to take the ten-
derest phraseology wherever we find It,
and If it has never been used In that
direction before all tbe more shall we
use It. When wo come to speak of tho
glory of Christ the conqueror, we are
going to draw our similes from trium
phal arch aud oratorio aud everything
grand and stupendous. The French
navy has 18 flags by which they give
signal, but those 18 flags they can put
into 0(5,000 dlff rent combinations.
And I have to tell you that these stand-
navy have 18 flags by which they give
combinations Iniinltc and -varieties
everlasting. And let me say to young
men who are after a while going to
preach Jesus Christ, you will have the
largest liberty and unlimited resource.
You only have to present Christ in
your own way.
.lonathsn Edwards preached Christ in
the severest argument ever jftLipcd,
and John Ituuynu preached Christ In
the subllmest allegory ever composed.
Edward Fayson, sick and exhausted,
leaned up against tbe side of tbe pulpit
lad
ticorge W liiteL.i id, with the manner
and the voice and Hie start of an actor,
overwhelmed Ills auditory. It would
havo been a dlfi'oront tiling if Jonathan
Edwards had tried to write and dream
about the pilgrim's progress to the ce
lestial city or John Huuynn had at
tempted an essay on the human will.
Itrlghter than tin* light, fresher than
the fountains, d< eper than the seas, are
these gospel themes. Bong has no mel
ody, flowers have uo sweetness, sunset
sky lias no color, compared with these
glorious themes. These harvests of
grace spring up quicker than we cau
sickle them. Kindling pulpits with their
fire and producing revolutions with
their power, lighting up dying beds
with their glory, they are the sweetest
thought for the poet, and they.are the
most thrilling illustration for the ora
tor, and they offer the most Intense
scene for the artist, aud they are to the
embassador of the sky all enthusiasm.
Complete pardon for direst guilt.
Sweetest comfort for ghastliest agony.
Brightest hope for grimmest death.
Grandest resurrection for darkest sep
ulcher. Oli, what a gospel to preach!
Christ over all in it. His birth, his
suffering, his miracles, his parables,
bis sweat, his tears, ills blood, bis
atouement, his intercession—what glo
rious themes! Do we exercise faith?
Christ is its object. Do we have love?
It fastens ou Jesus. Have we a fond
ness for the church? It is because
Christ died for it. Have we a hope of
heaven? It Is because Jesus went
ahead, the herald aud the forerunner.
Snved Through Chriat.
•
The royal robe of Demetrius was so
costly, so beautiful, that after he had
put It off uo one ever dared put it on.
But this robe of Christ, richer than
that, the poorest and the wannest aud
the worst may wear. "Where sin
abounded grace may much more
abound.”
“Oh, my #ius, my sins,” said Martin
Luther to Staupitz; "my sins, my sins!”
The fact is that the brawny German
student bad found a Latin Bible that
had made him quake, aud nothing else
ever did make him quake, and when he
found how, through Christ, he was
pardoned and saved be wrote to a
friend, saying: "Come over aud join us,
great aud awful sinners saved by the
grace of God. You seem to be only a
slender sinner, and you don’t much ex
tol the mercy of God, but we who have
been such very awful sinners praise
his grace the more now that wo have
been redeemed.” Can it be that you
are so desperately egotistical that you
feel yourself in first rate spiritual trim
and that from the root of the hair to
the tip of the toe you are scarless and
immaculate? What you need is a look
ing glass, and here it is in the Bible.
Poor and wretebed and miserable and
blind and naked from the crown of the
head to the sole of the foot, full of
wounds aud putrefying sores. No
health in us. Aud then take the fact
that Christ gathered up all the notes
against us aud paid them and then of
fered us the receipt.
And ho\V much we need him in our
sorrows! We are Independent of cir
cumstances if we have his grace. Why,
he made Paul sing in the dungeon, and
under that grace St. John from desolate
Patinos heard the blast of the apoca
lyptic trumpets. After all other can
dles have beeu snuffed out this is the
light that gets brighter and brighter
unto the perfect day, and after, under
tbe hard hoofs of calamity, all the
pools of worldly enjoyment have been
tramplsd into deep mire, at the foot of
the eternal rock, the Christian, from
cups of granite, lily rimmed and vine
covered, puts out the thirst of his soul.
The Final Hoar.
Again I remark that Christ is above
all in dying alleviations. I have not
any sympathy with the morbidity
abroad about our demise. The emperor
of Coustantinople arranged that on the
day of his coronation the stonemason
should come and consult him about his
tombstone that after awhile he would
need, and there are men who are mon-
omadical on the subject of departure
from this life by death, and the more
they think of It the less prepared are
they to go. This is an unmanliness not
worthy of yon, not worthy of me.
Salndin, the greatest conqueror of bis
day, while dying ordered the tunic be
had on him to be carried after bis
death on a spear at tbe bead of bis
army, and then the soldier ever and
nuon should stop aud say: “Behold all
that is left of Saladln, the emperor and
conqueror! Of all the states he con
quered, of all the wealth be accumu
lated, nothing did he retain but this
shroud!” I have no sympathy with
such behavior or such absurd demon-
striitlon, or witli much that we hear
uttered in regard to departure from
this life to the next There is a com-
mon-senslcnl idea on this subject that
you and I need to consider—that there
are only two styles of departure.
A thousand feet underground, by
light of torch toiling in a miner’s shaft,
n ledge of rock may fall upon us, and
we many die a miner's death. Far out
at sea, falling from the slippery rat
lines and broken on tbe halyards, we
may die a sailor’s death. On mission
of mercy in hospital, amid broken
bones and reeking leprosies and rag
ing fevers, we may die a philanthro
pist's death. On tbe Add of battle,
■ervlng God aud our country, slugs
through the heart, the gun carriage
may roll over us, and we may die a
patriot’s death. But, after all, there
are only two styles of departure—tbe
deatb of the righteous and of tbe
wicked, and we all want to die the
former.
God grant that when that hour comes
you may be at home! You want the
hand of your kindred In your hand.
You want your children to surround
you. You want the light on your pil
low from eyes that have long reflected
your love. You want the room still.
You do not want any curious strangers
standing around watching you. You
want your kindred from afar to hear
your last prayer. I think that is the
wish of nil of us. But is that all? Gan
earthly friends hold us when Hie bil
lows of death come up to th(fe;lrdlc?
Can human voice charm open heaven's
gate? Can human hands pilot us
through the narrows of death Into
heaven’s harbor? Cau an earthly
fcleudshlp shield us from the arrows
of death and In Hie hour when satan
shall practice upon us Ids infernal
archery? No, no! Alas, poor soul, if
that is nil! Better die lu the wilder-
ness, far from tree shadow aud fur
from fountain, alone, vultures circling
UlEflmll till! nil WtUloff tov our .body,
unknown to men aud to nave no ouruu
If only Christ would say through tho
solitudes, "I will never leave thee; 1
will never forsake thee.” From that
pillow yf stone a ladder would soar
heavenward, angels coming and going,
and across the solitude and the barren
ness would come tho sweet notes of
heavenly minstrelsy.
On Zion llelKlitn.
Gordon Hall, far from home, dying
In the door of a heathen temple, said,
“Glory to thee, O God!” What did dy
ing Wllberforee say to his wife? “Come
and sit beside me and let us talk of
heaven. I never knew what happiness
was until I found Christ.” What did
dying Hnnunh More say? "To go to
heaven, think what that Is! To go to
Christ, who died that I might live!
Oh, glorious grave! Oh, what a glori
ous tiling it is to die! Oh, the love of
Christ, the love of Christ!” What did
Mr. Toplady, the great hymnmaker,
say in his last hour? “Who cau meas
ure the depth of the third heaven? Oh,
the sunshine tiiat Alls my soul! I shall
soon be gone, for surely no one can live
here after such glories ns God has
manifested to my soul.”
What did the dying Janeway say? “1
cau as easily die ns close my eyes or
turn my bead in sleep. Before a few
hours have passed I shall stand ou
Mount Zion with the one hundred and
forty and four thousand and with the
just men made perfect, and we shall
ascribe riches and honor and glory and
majesty and dominion unto God and
the Lamb.” Dr. Taylor, condemned to
burn at the stake, on his way thither
broke away from the guardsmen and
went bounding and leaping aud Jump
ing toward the fire, glad to go to Jesus
and to die for him. Sir Charles Hare
in his last moment had such rapturous
vision that he cried, “Upward, upward,
upward!” And so great was the peace
of one of Christ’s disciples that he put
his fingers upon the pulse in his wrist
and counted it and observed its halting
beats until his life had ended here to
begin In heaven. But grander than
that was the testimony of the wornout
first missionary when in the Mamar-
tlue dungeon he cried: “I am now ready
to be offered, and tbe time of my de
parture Is at hand! I have fought tbe
good fight. I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith. Henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, will give me lu that
day, aud not to me only, but to all
them that love his appearing!” Do you
not see that Christ Is above all In dying
alleviations?
Toward the last hour of our earthly
residence we are speeding. When 1 see
the spring blossoms scattered, 1 say,
"Another season gone forever.” When
I close the Bible on Sabbath night, I
say, "Another Sabbath departed.”
When 1 bury a friend, I say, "Another
earthly attraction gone forever.” What
nimble feet tbe years havel Tbe roe
bucks and tbe lightnings run not so
fast From decade to decade, from sky
to sky, they go at a bound. There is
a place for us, whether marked or not,
where you aud I will sleep the last
sleep, aud the men are now living who
will with solemn tread carry us to our
resting place. Brighter than a ban
queting hall through which the light
feet of the dancers go up and down to
the sound of trumpeters will be the
sepulcher through whose rifts the holy
light of heaven streameth. God will
watch you. He will send his angels to
guard your slumbering ground until,
at - Christ’s behest, they shall roll away
the stone.
At tbe Redeemer'* Feet.
So, also, Christ is above all In
heaven. Tbe Bible distinctly says that
Christ is the chief theme of tbe celes
tial ascription, all the thrones facing
his throne, nil the palms waved before
his face, all the crowns down at his
feet. Cherubim to cherubim, seraphim
to seraphim, redeemed spirit to re
deemed spirit, shall recite tbe Saviour’s
earthly sacrifice.
Stand on some high hill of heaven
and in all the radiant sweep the most
glorious object will be Jesus. Myriads
gazing on the scars of his suffering, in
silence first, afterward breaking forth
into acclamation. The martyrs, all tbe
purer for the flame through which they
passed, will say, "This 4s Jomjs, for
whom we died.” The apostles, all tho
happier for the shipwreck aud tho
scourging through which they went,
will say, “This is the Jesus whom wo
preached at Corinth, and In Cappado
cia, and at Antioch, and at Jerusalem.”
Little children clad In white will say,
"This is the Jesus who took us in his
arms aud blessed us, and when the
storms of tbe world were too cold and
loud brought us into this beautiful
place.” The multitudes of the bereft
will say, "This is the Jesus who com
forted us when our heart broke.”
Many who had wandered clear off
from God and plunged into vagabond
ism, but were saved by grace, will say:
"This Is the Jesus who pardonod us.
We were lost on the mountains, and he
brought us home. We were guilty, and
he made us white as snow.” Mercy
boundless, grace unparalleled. And
then, after each one has recited bis
peculiar deliverances and peculiar mer
cies, recited them as by solo, all the
voices will come together In a great
chorus, which shall make the arches
re-echo with the eternal reverberation
of gladness and peace and triumph.
Edward I was so anxious to go to the
Holy Land that when he was about to
expire he bequeathed $100,00(kto have
his heart after his decease tSien and
deposited in the Holy Land, and his
request was complied with. But there
are hundreds today whose hearts are
already lu the holy laud of heaven.
Where your treasures are, there are
your hearts also. John Bunyan, of
whom I spoke at the opening of tho
discourse, caught a glimpse of that
place, and in his quaint way he said:
"And I beard in my dream, and, lo, tho
bells of the city rang again for Joy.
And os they opened the gates to let in
the men I looked In after them, and,
lo, tbe city shone like the sun, and
there were streets of gold, and men
walked on them, harps In their hands
to sing praises with all. And after that
they shut up the gates, which when I
had seen I wished myself among them.”

Lockhart, April 20.—This is a

Yesterday there was a considerable
fall of rain throughout tbe entire day.
Cue could make no mistake whatever
in placing it in the raiuy aay list.

of the matter.

Whereas, while the Buford street

And whereas, during a considerable
portion of tl^s time the auditorium
of the court house was secured for
the purpose of public worship through
the kindess of Messrs. W. H. Ross,
Ed. H. DeCamp and A. B. Gaines,
Therefore Be it Resolved, 1. That
the thanks of this church be extended
to those gentlemen for their courtesy
and consideration in providing for us
the use of the auditorium free of
charge.
2. That by tbe request of this body
these resolutions be published in The
Gaffney Ledger.
