Tout o«' uo.’i vterti Wasiiinoton, June 10.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage raises high expec- Tlitlons of the day when that which is in \v only dimly* seen will be fully re vealed; text. Job sxvl, 14: “I.o, these are parts of bis ways. But how little a jiortion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can under stand?” The least understood being In the uni verse Is God. Blasphemous would be any attempt by painting or sculpture to represent him. Egyptian hieroglyphs tried to suggest him by putting the fig ure of on eye upon a sword, implying that God sees and rules, but bow im perfect the suggestion! When we speak of him, it is almost always in language figurative. He Is “Light” or “Day spring From on High,” or he is a “High Tower” or the “Fountain of Living Waters.” His splendor Is so great that no man can see him oil live. When the group of great tluologiins assem bled in Westminster abbey for the pur pose of making a system of religious belief, they first of all wnnt> ' nn an swer to the question, "Who 1 God?” No one desired to undertake ! •" an swering of that overmastering ques tion. They finally concluded to give the task to the youngest man in the assembly, who happened to be Rev. George Gillespie. He consented to undertake It on the condition that they would first unite with him in pi lyer for divine direction. He began bis prayer by saying, “O God, thou ait a spirit, infinite, eternal and unehanTC- able In thy being, wisdom, power, holi ness, justice, goodness and truth.” That first sentence of Gillespie’s prayer was unanimously adopted by the as sembly as the best definition of Gou. But after all. It was only a partial suc cess, and after everything that lan guage can do when put to the utmost strain and all we cun see of God In the natural world and realize of God in the providential world we are forced to cry out with Job in my text: “Lo. these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion of him Is hoard? But the thun der of his power who can understand?” Archbishop Tlllotsou and Dr. Dick and Timothy Dwight and Jonathan Edwards of the past and the mightiest theologians of this young century have discoursed upon the power of God, the attribute of omnipotence. And we have nil seen demonstration of God's al- mightincss. It might have been far out at sen when in an equinoctial gale God showed what be could do with the waters. It might have been lu an Au gust thunderstorm in the mountains when God showed what he could do with the lightnings. It might have been In South America when God show ed what he could do- with the earth quakes. It might have been among the Allis when God showed what he could do with the avalanches. Our cheek was blanched, our breath stopped, our pulses fluttered, our whole being was terrorized, but we bad seen only an In stance of divine strength. What was the power of that storm compared with the power which holds all the oceans? What was the power that shook the Idlls comimrud with the power that swings the earth through all the cen turies nud for 0,000 years and lu a formative and Incomplete shape for hundreds of thousands of years? What Is that power that sustains our world compared with the power which rolls through Immensity the entire solar sys tem aud all the constellations and gul- Dxies and me universe? The mightiest Intellect of man would give away If for a moment there came upon It the full appreciation of what omulpotcnce Is. What you aud I nee and bear of divine strength are only “parts of his ways. But how little a portion Is beard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?” God’s Omnipotence. We try to satisfy ourselves with say ing: “It is natural law that controls things. Gravitation Is at work; cen tripetal and centrifugal forces respond to each other.” But what Is natural law? It Is only God’s ^vny of doing things. At every point t the universe It is God’s direct and eommuotis power that controls aud harmonizes aud sus tains. That power withdrawn one In stant would make the planetary system and nil the worlds which astronomy reveals one universal wreck, bereft hemispheres, dismantled sunset*, dead constellations, debris of worlds. What power It must be that keeps the Inter nal fires of our world Imprisoned, only here and there spurting from a Coto paxi or a Stromboli or from a Vesuvius, putting Pompeii and Herculaneum in to sepulcher, but for the most part the internal tires chained in their cages of fock and century after century unable to break the chain or burst open the door! What power to keep the compo nent parts of the air In right propor tion, so that all around the world the nations may breatbo In health, the frosts and the heats hindered from working universal demolition! Power, as Isaiah says, “to take up the Isles a* a very little thing”—Ceylon and Borneo and Hawaii as though they were peb bles; power to weigh the “mountains (h ecnles” and the “bills In balances’’— Tenerife and the Cordilleras. To move a rock we must have lever and screw and great machinery, but God moves the world with nothing but ft word; power to create worlds and power to destroy them, as from the observato ries again and again they have been seen red with flame, then palo wdl) ashes aud then scattered. What Is that power to us? asks some one, It Is everything to us. With him on our side, the reconciled God, the sympathetic God, the omnipotent God, we may defy all human and satanic antagonisms, and when we are shut lu by obstacles we can say, as did one of Frobisher's men when the sailor was ^escribing bow their ship was sur- roiuulcjJ by Icebergs In the Arctic sea, “The Ice waft Strong, but God was stronger than the leeJ' An<J. p’lifltevcr opposition we may have, our God ly mightier than the opposition.

What akchallenge tlmvwas ut tered by the old iiilsMlonnry pero, “If God be for us^ w ho can be against us?” Think of It! GodJs tlie only being in tin* universe who has power to do as he pleases. All human and angelic forces have environments. There are things they cannot do, heights they cannot scale, depths they cannot fathom. Evldenpea of Divine Power. We got some little Idea of the divine power when we see how it buries the proudest cities and nations. Ancient Memphis It has ground up until many of Its ruins are no larger titan your thumb mill, aud you can hardly find n souvenir large enough to remind you of your visit. The city of Tyre is un der the sea which washes the shore on which are only a few crumbling pil lars left. Hodom nud Gomorrah 1 covered by waters so deathful that not a fish can live lu them. Babylon and Nineveh are so blotted out of existence that not one uninjured shaft of their ancient splendor remains. Nothing but Omn!i>otence could have put them down and put them under. The ante diluvian world was able to send to the postdiluvian world only one ship, with a very small passenger list. Omnipo tence first rolled the seas over the land and then told them to go back to their usual channels as rivers and lakes and oceans. At Omnipotent command tho waters pouncing upon their prey aud at Omnipotent command slinking back Into their appropriate places. By such rehearsal we try to arouse our appre ciation of what omnipotence Is, and our reverence Is excited, and our adora tion is Intensified, but after all we find ourselves at the foot of a mountain we cannot climb, hovering over a depth we cannot fathom, at the rim of a cir cumference we cannot compass, and we feel like first going down on our knees and then like falling fiat upon our faces as we exclaim: “Lo, these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion Is heard of him? But the thun der of his power who can understand?” So all those who have put together systems of theology have discoursed also about the wisdom of God. Think of a wisdom which can know the end from the beginning, that knows the thirtieth century as well as the first century. We eau guess what will hap pen, but It is only a guess. Think of a mind that can hold all the past and all the present nud all the future. We can contrive and Invent on a small scale, >ut think of a wisdom that could con nive a universe. Think of a wisdom that can learn nothing new, a wisdom that nothing can surprise, all the facts, scones and occurrences of all time to come as plainly before It as though they had already transpired. lie could have built nil the material uulverse Into one world aud swung It, a glorious mass, through immensity, but behold bis wisdom In dividing up the gran deurs into Innumerable worlds, rolliug splendors op all skies, diversity, ampli tude, majesty. Infinity. Worlds, worlds, moving In complete order, shining with complete radiance. Mightiest telescope on one hand and most powerful micro scope on the other, discovering In the plan of God not one Imperfection. What but divine wisdom could have planned a human race and, before It started, built for it a world like this, pouring waters to slake human thirst aud giv ing soils capacity to produce such food and lifting such a canopy of clouds, embroidered with such suullgbt, and surrounding the world with such won ders that all the scientists of the ages have only begun to unroll them? Wl*- dom In mncultudc and in atom, In arch angel and In mollusk. Think of a wis dom that was able to form without any suggestion or any model to work by the eye, the ear, the band, tbe foot, the vocal organs. No wonder that Galen, tbe most celebrated of medical authors among tbe ancients, fell on bis knees at the overwhelming wisdom of God In the constitution of tbe human frame. Our libraries are filled with tbe wis dom of tbe great thinkers of oil time. Have you considered tbe far superior wisdom which fashioned the brain for all those thoughts of tbe Infinite mind that built those Intellects? But it is only tbe millionth part of that wisdom that has come to mortal appreciation. Close next to every discovery Is a won der that has not been discovered. We see only one specimen among 10,000 specimens. What we know Is over whelmed by wbat we do not know. What the botanist knows about the flower Is not more wonderful than the things be does not know about tbe flower. What the geologist knows about tbe rocks Is not more amazing than tbe things which he docs not know about them. The worlds that have been counted are only n small regiment of tbe armies of light, the hosts of heaven, which have never passed In review before mortal vision. Wbat a God we have! Past Understanding. ▲ tradition says that Abraham of the W Testament was, when an Infant, bidden In a cave because of the perse cutions of Nimrod. Tbe first time the child came out of the cavern It was night, and be looked up at a star and cried, “This Is my God!” But the star disappeared, and Abraham said, “No, that cannot be my God.” After awhile tbe moon rose, and Abraham said, “That Is my God.” But It set, and ^.braham was again disappointed. Aft er awhile the sun rose, and he said, “Why, truly, here Is my God.” But the tun went down, aud Abraham wa* saddened. Not until the God of tbe Bible appeared to Abraham was he sat isfied, and his faith was so great that be was called “the Father of tbe Faith ful.” All that the theologians know of God’s wisdom Is insignificant compar ed with the wisdom beyond human Comprehension. Tho human race never has had and never .vlll have enough brain or heart to measure the wisdom of God. I can think of only two authors Who have expressed tho exact facts. The one was Paul, who says: "Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wis dom aud knowledge of God! Slow un searchable are bis Judgments and bis ways past finding out!” Tlie other au thor was tbe scientist who composed tny text. I think he wrote It during n thunderstorm, for the chapter says much about the clouds and describes the tremor of tlie earth under tbe re verberations. Witty writers sometimes depredate the thunder and say It Is the lightning that strikes, but I am sure God thinks well of the thunder, or he w-ould not make »q pinch of It, ami all up and down the Bible be uses |hc thunder to give emphasis. It was the thunder thgt shook Hlnul when the law VftUiXtfc. It wae ftitu UGHidfF Ifclt too Lord discomfited the Philistine* at Eben-czcr. pictures tbe war horse ns having n heck clothed with thunder. St. John in nn apocalyptic vision again and iignln beard the thunder. Tbe thunder, which Is now quite well ex- plained by the electricians, was tbe overpowering mystery of the nncleuts, snd, stniulliig among those mysteries. Job exclaimed: “Lo, these are parts of his ways. But how little a portion Is heard of him? But tbe thunder of his power who can understand?” So, also, all systems of theology try to tell us what is omnipresence—that Is, God's capacity to be everywhere at the same time. "Where is God?” said a hea then philosophertoaCbrlstian man. The Christian answered, "Let me first ask you where lie Is not?" The child had it right when, asked how many Gods are there, and he answered, “One." “How do you know that?” he was ask ed again. He answered, “There Is only room for one, for he ILlls earth aud heaven.” An author sayAlliat if a man were set In tbe highest heavens be would not be any nearer the essence of God than If he were lu the center of the earth. 1 believe It. If this divine es sence does not reach all places, wbat use in our prayer^for prayers are be ing offered to God on tbe other side of the earth as well as here, and God must be there and here to take suppli cations which are offered thousands of miles apart. Ubiquity! No one lias it but God. And wbat an alarm to wick edness, an everywhere present Lord, ami what a re-enforcement when we need help! God on the throne and God with the kneeling child saying his even ing prayer at his mother’s lap. God above you, God beneath you, God on the right of you, God on the left of you, God within you. No pantheism, for that teaches that all tilings are God, but Jehovah possesses all things, as our souls possess our bodies. God at the diameter and circumference of ev erything, as close to you as tbe food you put to your lips, as tbe coat you put upon your back, as the sunlight that shines in your face. Appreciation of that, If through Jesus Christ, the atoning Saviour, we are right with God, ought to give us a serenity, a tranquillity, that nothing could upset. Would It make us gloomy? No, for God Is the God of Joy and will augment our happiness. God's Inflnlte Love. We have all been painfully reminded In our own experiences that we cannot be In two places at tbe same time, and yet here comes tbe thought that God can be In all places at the same time. Madler, tbe astronomer, went on with bis explorations of tlie heavens until he concluded that tbe star Alcyone, one of the Pleiades, was the center of the universe aud it was a fixed world and all the other worlds revolved around that world, and some think that that world Is heaven and God’s throne Is there and there reside the nations of tbe blessed. But be Is no more there than lie Is here. ludeed Alcyone has been found to be In motion, and it also Is revolving around some great center. But no place has yet been found where God Is not present by sustaining pow er. Omnipresence! Who fully appre ciates It? Not I; not jn>u. Sometimes we bear him In a whisper; sometimes we bear him In tbe voice of tbe storm that jars tbe Adlrondacks. But we can not swim across this ocean. Tbe finite cannot measure tbe Infinite. We feel as Job did after flndltrg God lu the gold mines aud tbe silver mines of Asia, saying, “There Is a vein for the silver and a place for tbe gold where they fine It” And after exploring tbe heavens as an astronomer and finding God In distant worlds and becoming acquainted with Orion aucl Mazzarotb and Arcturus and noticing the tides of the sea tbe inspired poet expresses bis Incapacity to understand such evi dences of wisdom and power and says: “Lo, these are parts of bis ways? But bow little a portion Is beard of him? But the thunder of bis power who can understand?” ,, So every system of theology bas at tempted to describe and define tbe di- vifto attribute of love. Easy enough Is It to define fatherly love, motherly love, conjugal love, fraternal love, sis terly love and love of country, but the love of God defies ail vocabulary. For man/ hundreds of years poets have tried tft sing It, and painters have tried to sketch It aud ministers of tbe gospel to preach it, and martyrs In tbe fire and Christians on tbclr deathbeds have ex tolled It, and tfe can tell wbat it Is like, but no one baa yet fully told wbat It Is. Men speak of tbe love of God as though It were first felt between tbe pointing of the Bethlehem star and the pound- lug of the crucifixion hammer. But no I Long before that existed the lovt of God. Tbe nature of God never changes, and from all eternity that holy passion glowed In the Infinite, and I think be was throwing out worlds Into space and Inhabiting them aud more worlds for the application of that love. He may not have told tbe other worlds What be did for this world, as be bas not told us what he did for them. 1 think the love of God was demonstrat ed In mightier worlds before our little world was fitted up for human resl deuce. Will a man owning 60,000 acres of land put all the cultivation on a half acre? Will God make a million worlds and put hjs chief affection on one small planet? Are the other worlds and larger worlds standing vacant, un inhabited, while this little world U crowded with Inhabitants? No, It takes a universe of worlds to express the love of God.^Mxd there are other ran soms and oth?r rescues and other re demptions, an there may be other mil lenniums aud other rcHurrinTlou morn ings and Judgment days tiffin those of our world. But In tbe space of six feet by five Hyps comprised tbe mlgbtl- eat evidence <rf God’a love that any world ever saw or ever will ace. Com pressed on two plunks Joined together us a cross, there was enough sgony (hero concentered. If distributed, to put Whole nations into torture. That God allowed tbe assassination of bis own Ron for tbe rescue of our world Is all tbe evidence needl'd that be loved tho world. Go ahead, O church of God! Go abend, O world, and tell as well as ypl» cap what the love of (foil Is, but know beforehand that Paul was right when be said, “It passetb knowledge.” Let other poeta take up the story of God’s love where William Cowpcr and Isaac Walts and Charles Wesley and lloratius Bonnr left It, and let other painters Improve u|Min the “Hlstiue Mn- tlonna - ’ and the ’“A^ratioM pf fb* Magi" H»(J the “Orut•Ui^!o^ , ' gs Ra- pb«ft) tod Titian god Claud# tod Cor* fMlN»«s>Mttm. fopiQK- nan pulpit orator lake up the theme of God's love where Frederick Tlioluck left It, let Italian pulpit take It up where Gnvazzl left It, let French pulpit orator take up the theme where Bour- deloue left It, let the Swiss pulpit ora tor take up tbe theme where Merle D'Auhlgnc left It, let tbe English pul pit take it up where George WhHefleld left It, let the Scotch pulpit take It up where Dr. Cunillisb left It, let tbe Welsh pulpit take it up where Christ mas Evans left It. and let the American pulpit take it up where Archibald Alex ander and Dr. Kirk and Matthew Simpson left It. But tbe world will never appreciate fully the love of God until they hear from bis own lips the outburst of bis infinite and everlasting affection. A Glorlou* II oar. Only glimpses of God have we lu this world. But wbat an hour it will be when we first see him, and we will have no more fright than I feel when I now see you. It will not be with mortal eye that we will behold him, but with the vision of a cleansed, for given and perfected spirit. Of all the quiutilllou ages of eternity, to us tbe most thrilling hour will be tbe first hour when we meet him as lie is. This may account for something you have all seen and may not have understood. Have you not noticed bow that after death the old Christian looks young again or tbe features resume the look of 20 or 30 years before? Tbe weariness is gone out of tbe face; there is something strikingly restful and placid; there is a pleased look where before there was a disturbed look. What bas wrought the change? I think the dying Chris tian saw God. At the moment the soul left the body what the soul saw left Its impression on the countenance. I think that Is what gave that old Chris tian face after death the radiant and triumphant look. The bestormed spirit has reached tbe harbor; tbe hard battle of life Is ended in victory. The body took that look the moment heaven be gan and the curtain was completely lifted and the glories of Jehovah’s pres ence rushed upon the soul. The depart ing spirit left on the old man’s face n glad goodby, and that first look gave the pleased curve to the dying lip and smoothed out the wrinkles and touched all the lineaments with an indescrib able radiance. As no one else explains that Improved and gladdened i>ost mortem look, I try to explain it saying, “He saw God!” “She saw God!” Last summer we journeyed thousands of miles to see the midnight sun from North cape, Norway. We stood on deck In the Arctic sens, our watches In our bauds, and it was 11 0'' lock at night, but light ns nn ordinary noon day. Then It was half past 11 o’clock at night, then it was 15 minutes of 12, but a long, wide, thick cloud bung over the sun. Are we to be disappointed, as thousands have been, and the journey here a failure? Ten miuutes of 12, and the suu is still hidden. But about five minutes of 12 tbe cloud lifted, and the midnight sun, the most wondrous spectacle of all the earth, appeared, pouring forth u refulgence that turned the Arctic sea Into 20 miles of pearls and rubles and diamonds and emeralds and overpowering ns with a glory that left us with body all a-tremble and a mind full of all ecstasy and a soul full of all worship. Thank God we saw It— tbe midnight sun. So with that depart ing Christian soul. The voyage of life has been long and rough and tempestu ous. Chilling sorrows have agalu and again snowed down upon him, and it is an Arctic sea. Many clouds have filled tbe sky. It is approaching 12 o’clock and tbe close of life’s day. Friends stand around and count the parting moments. The clock strikes 12, and God breaks through the clouds and shines upon the features of the depart ing saint until they are transfigured with tbe glories of the Sun of Right eousness. That Is wbat has so changed tbe features of the old man. It Is tbe shining of the Midnight Sun. [Copyright. 11)01. by houii Kiop*ch, N. Y.] Heckle** Bub. Last Friday afternoon Robert Chalk met with a very painful accident, breaking a bone in tbe ankle and dis locating one.
