DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. SACRAMENT SUNDAY AT THE TABERNACLE. . e The Lowly Surroundings of the Advent and the Signs in the Heavens—Details of Christ's Separate Walks from Bethlehem to Calvary. The March afChrist. The services on Sacrament Sunday at the Brooklyn Tabernacle were very solemn and impressive. Dr. Talmage's discourse was on “The March of Christ Through the Centuries,” and his text Revelation xix. 12: “On his head were many crowns. ” • * May your ears be alert and your thoughts concentrated, and all the powers of your soul aroused, while I speak to you of “the march of Uhrist through the centuries. ” You say, “Give us, then, a good start, in rooms of vermilion and on floor of mosaic, and amid corridors of porphyry, and under canopies dyed in all the splendors of the setting sun. ” You . can have no such starting place. At the time our Chieftain was born there were castles on the beach of Galilee, and palaces at Jerusalem, and imperial bathrooms at Jericho, and obelisks at Cairo, and the Pantheon at Rome, with its Corinthian portico and its sixteen granite columns; and the Pantheon at Athens, with its glistening coronet of temples; and there were mountains of fine architecture in many parts of the vyorld. But none of them were to be the starting place of the Chieftain I celebrate. A cow’s stall, a winter month, an atmosphere in which are the moan of camels, and the bleating of sheep, and the barking of dogs, and the rough banter of hostlers. He took his first journey before he could walk. Armed desperadoes with hands of blood were ready to snatch him down into butchery. Rev. William H. Thompson, the veteran and beloved missionary, whom I saw this last monthJn Denver, in his eightysixth year, has described, in his volume entitled “The Land and the Book,” Bethlehem as he saw it. Winter before last I walked up and down the gray hills of Jura limestone on which the village now rests. The fact that King David had been born there had not during ages elevated the village into any special attention. The other fact that it was the birthplace of our Chieftain did not keep the place in after years from special dishonor, for Hadrian built there the Grove of Adonis and for one hundred and eighty years the religion there observed was the most abhorrent debauchery the world has ever seen, Our Chieftain was considered dangerous from the start. The world had put suspicious eyes upon him because at the time of his birth, the astrologers had seen stellar commotions, a world out of its place and shooting down toward a caravansary. Star divination was a science. As late as the eighteenth century it had its votaries. At the court of Catharine de Medici it was honored. Kepler, one of the wisest philosophers that the world ever saw, declared it was a true science. As late as the reign of Charles IL, Lilly, an astrologer, was called before the House of Commons in England to give his opinion as to future events. For ages the bright appearance of Mars meant war; of Jupiter, meant power; of the Pleiades, meant storms at sea. And as history moves in circles, I do not know but that after awhile it may be found that as the moon lifts the tides of the sea and the sun affects the growth or blasting of crops, other worlds besides tho-e two worlds may have something to do with the dest ny of individuals and nations in this world. I do not wonder that the commotions in the heavens excitad the wise men on the night our Chieftain was born. As he came from another world and after th rty-three years was again to exchange worlds, it does not seem strange tome that astronomy should have felt the effect of his coining. And instead of being unbelieving about the one star that stooped, I wonder that all the worlds in the heavens did not that Christmas night make some special demonstration. Why should they leave to one world or meteor the bearing of the news of the humanization of Christ? Where was Mars that it did not indicate the mighty wars that were to come between righteousness and inequity? Where was Jupiter that night that it did not celebrate omnipotence Incarnated? Where were the Pleiades that night that they did not announce the storms of persecution that would assail our Chieftain?

In watching this march of Christ through the centuries, we must not walk before him or beside him, for that would not be reverential or worshipful. So we walk behind him. We follow him while not yet in his teens, up a Jerusalem terrace, to a building six hundred feet long and six hundred feet wide, and under the hovering splendor of gateways, and by a pillar crowned with capital chiseled into the shape of flowers and leaves, and along by walls of beveled masonry and near a marble screen until a group of white-haired philosophers and theologians gather around him, and then the boy bewilders and confounds and overwhelms these scholarly septuagenarians with questions they cannot answer, and under his quick whys and wherefores and hows and whens they pull their white beards with embarrassment and rub their wrinkled foreheads in confusion, and putting their staff hard down on the marble floor as they arise to go, they must feel like chiding the boldness that allows twelve years of age to ask seventy-five years of age such puzzlers. Out of this building we follow him into the Quarantania, the mountain of temptation, its side to this day black with robbers’ dens. Look! Up the side of this mountain come all the forces of perdition to effect our Chieftain’s capture. But although weakened by forty days and forty nights of abstinence, he hurls all pandemonium down the rocks, suggestive of how he can hurl into helplessness all our temptations. And now we climb right after him up the tough sides of the “Mount of Beatitudes,” and on the highest pulpit of rocks, the valley of Hatin before him; the Lake of Galilee to the right of him; the Mediterranean Sea to the loft of him, and he preaches a sermon that yet will transform the world with its applied sentiment. Now we follow our Chieftain on Lake Galilee. We must keep to the beach, tor our feet are not shod with the supernatural, and we remember what poor work Peter made of it when he tried to walk the water. Christ our leader is on the top of the tossing waves, and it is about half-past three in the morning, and it is the darkest time just before daybreak. But by the flashes of lightning we see him putting his feet on the crest of the wave, stepping from crest to crest, walking the white surf, solid as though it were frozen snow. The sailors think a ghost is striding the tempest, but he cheers them into placidity, showing himself to be a great Christ for sailors. And he walks the Atlantic and Pacific and Mediterranean and Adriatic now, and if exhausted and affrighted voyagers will listen for his voice at half past three o’clock in the morning on any sea, indeed at any hour, they will hear his voice of compassion and encouragement. We continue to follow our Chieftain, •nd here is a blind man by the wayside. It is not from cataract of the eye or from ophthalmia, the eye extinguisher of the East, but he was born blind. “Be opened!” ho cries, and first there is a smarting of the eyelids, and then a twiM

JMj

i light, and then a midnoon, Mid then a about “I see! I see!” Tell It to all the blind, and they at least can appreciate it And here is the widow’s dead son, and here is the expired damsel, and here is Lazarus! “Live!” our Chieftain cries, and they live. Tell it through all the bereft households; tell it among the graven And here around him gather the deaf, and the dumb, and the sick, and at his word they turn on their couches and blush from awful pallor of helpless illness to rubicund health, and the swollen foot of the dropsical sufferer becomes fleet as a roe on the mountains. The music of the grove and household wakens the deaf ear, and lunatic and maniac return into bright intelligence, and the leper’s breath becomes as sweet as the breath of a child, and the flesh as roseate. Tell It to all the sick, through all the homes, through all the hospitals. Tell it at twelve o’clock at night; ten it at two o’clock in the morning; tell it at half-past three, and in the last watch of the night, that Jesus walks the tempest Still we follow our Chieftain until the government that gave Him no protection insists that He pay tax. and, too poor to raise the requisite two dollars and seventy-five cents, He orders Peter to catch a fish that has in its mouth a Roman state, which is a bright coin (and you know that fish naturally bite at anything bright), but it was a miracle that Peter should have caught it at the first haul.

Now we follow our Chieftain until, for the paltry sum of fifteen dollars, Judas sells Him to His pursuers. Tell it to all the betrayed! If for ten thousand dollars, or for five hundred dollars, or for one hundred dollars your interests were sold out, consider for how much cheaper a sum the Lord of earth and heaven was surrendered to humiliation and death. But here, while following him on a spring night between 11 and 12 o’clock, we see the flash of torches and lanterns, and 4 we hear the cry of a mob of nihilists. They are breaking in on the quietude of Gethsemane with clubs—like a mob with sticks chasing a mad dog. It is a herd of Jerusalem “roughs” led on by Judas to arrest Christ and punish Him for being the loveliest and best being that ever lived. But rioters are liable to assail the wrong man. How were they to be sure which one was Jesus? “I will kiss him,” says Judas, “and by that signal you will know on whom to lay your hands of arrest ” So the kiss which throughout the human race and for all time God intended as the most sacred demonstration of affection, for Paul Writes to the Romans and the Corinthians and the Thessalonians concerning tne “holy kiss,” and Peter celebrates the kiss of charity, and with that conjunction of lips Laban met Jacob, and Joseph met his brethren, and Aaron met Moses, and Samuel met Saql, and Jonathan met David, and Orpah departed from Naomi, and Paul separated from his friends at Ephesus, and the father in the parable greeted the returning prodigal, and when the millennium shall come we are told righteousness and peace will kiss each other, and all the world is invited to greet Christ as inspiration cries out, “Kiss the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the way”—that most sacred demonstration of reunion and affection was desecrated as the filthy lips of Judas touched the pure cheek of Christ, and the horrid smack of that kiss has its echo in the treachery and debasement and hypocrisy of all ages. As, in December, 1889, I walked on the way from Bethany, and at the foot of Mount Olivet a half mile from the wall of Jerusalem, through the Garden of Gethsemane, and under the eight venerable olive trees now standlig, their pomological ancestors having been witnesses of the occurrences spoken of, the scene of horror and of crime came back to me until I shuddered with the historical reminiscence. In fur.her following our great Chieftain's march through the centuries, I find myself in a crowd in front of Herod's palace in Jerusalem, and on a movable platform placed upon a tesselated pavement Pontius Pilate sits. And as once a year a condemned criminal is pardoned, Pilate lets the people choose whether it shall be an assassin or our Chieftain, and they all cry out for the liberation of the assassin, thus declaring they prefer a murderer to the salvation of the world. Pilate took a basin of water in front of these people and tried to wash off the blood of this murder from his hands, but he could not. They are still lifted, and I see them looming up through all the ages, eight fingers and two thumbs, standing out red with the carnage. Still following our Chieftain, I ascend the hill which Gen. Gordon, the great English explorer and arbiter, first made a clay model of. It is hard climbing for our Chieftain, for he has not only two heavy timbers to carry on his back, the upright and horizontal pieces of the cross, but he is suffering from exhaustion caused by lack of food, mountain chills, desert heats, whippings with elmwood rods, and years of maltreatment. ’

It took our party, in 1889, only fifteen minutes to climb to the top of the hill and reach that limestone rock in yonder wall, which I rol ed down from the apex of Mount Calvary. But I think our Chieftain must have taken a long time for the ascent, for he had all earth and all heaven and all hell on as he climbed from base to summit, and there endured what William Cowper and John Milton and Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts and James Montgomery and all the other sacred poets have attempted to put In verse; and Angelo and Raphael and Titian and Leonardo da Vinci and all the great Italian and German and Spanish and French artists have attempted to paint; and Bossuet and Massillon and George Whitefield and Thomas Chalmers have attempted to preach. Something of its overwhelming awfulness you may estimate from the fact that the sun which shines i'n'the heavens £ould not endure it; the sun which unflinchingly looked upon the deluge that drowned the world, which, without blinking, looked upon the ruins of earthquakes which swallowed Lisbon and Caracas, and has looked unblanched on the battlefields of Arbela, Blenheim, Megiddo and Esdraelon, and all the scenes of carnage that have ever scalded and drenched the earth with human gore—that sun could not look upon the scene. The sun dropped over its face a veil of cloud. It Withdrew. It hid itself. It said to the midnight, “I resign to thee this spectacle upon which I have no strength to gaze; thou art blind, oh, midnight! and for that reason I commit to thee this tragedy!” Then the nighthawk and the bat flew by, and the jackal howled in the ravines. Now we follow our Chieftain as they carry his limp and lacerated form amid the flowers and trees of a garden, the gladioluses, the oleanders, the lilies, the geraniums, the mandrakes, down five or six steps to an aisle of granite where he sleeps. But only a little while he sleeps there, for there is an earthquake in all that region, leaving the rocks to this day in their aslant and ruptured state declarative of the fact that something .extraordinary there happened. And we see our Chieftain arouse from his brief slumber and wrestle down the 1 sffian Death who would keep him imprisoned in that cavern and put both heels on the monster, end coming forth with a cry that will 1 >jt cease to be echoed until on the great resurrection' day the door of the last sepulcher shall be unhinged had

•77 - ; ~ ■ ■■ .' flung clanging Into the debris of demol* ished cemeteries. Now we follow our Chieftain to the shoulder of Mount Olivet, and without wings ho rises, the disciples clutching for his robes too late to reach them, and *across the great gulfs of space with one bound he gains that world which for > thirty-three years had been denied his companionship, and all heaven lifted a shout of . welcome as he entered, and of coronation as up to the mediatorial throne he mounted. It was the greatest day heaven had ever seen. They had him back again from tears, from wounds, from ills, from a world that never appreciated him to a world in which he was the chief delight In all the libretto of celestial music It was hard to find an anthem enough conjubilant to celebrate the joy saintly seraphic, archangelic, delfic. But st : ll we follow our Chieftain in his march through the centuries, for invisibly he still walks the earth, and by the eye of faith we still* follow him. You can tell where *be walks by the churches and hospitals and reformatory institutions and houses of mercy that spring up along the way. I hear his tread in the sickroom and in the abodes of bereavement He marches on and the nations are gathering around him. The islands of the sea are hearing his voice. The continents are feeling his power. America will be his. Europe will be his. Asia will be his. Africa will be his. Australia will be his. New Zealand will be his. All the earth will be his! Do you realize that until now it was impossible for the world to be converted? Not until very recently has the world been found. The Bible talks about “the ends of the earth” and the “uttermost parts of the world” as being saved, but not until now have the “ends of the earth” been discovered, and not until now have the “uttermost parts of the world” been revealed. The navigator did his work, the explorer did his work, the scientist did his work, and now for the first time since the world has been created has the world been known, measured off, and geographized, the lost, hidden and unknown tract has been mapped out, and now the work of evangelization will be begun with an earnestness and velocity as yet unimagined. The steamships are ready, the lightning express trains are ready, the printing presses are ready, the telegraph and telephone are ready, millions of Christians are ready and now see Christ marching on through the centuries. Marching on! Marching on! * One by one governments will fall into line and constitutions and literatures will adore his name. More honored and worshiped is He in this year of 1891 than at any time since tho year one, and the day hastens when all nations will join tn one procession “following tho Lamb whithersoever ho goeth. ” Marchng on! Marching on! This dear old world whose back has been scourged, whose eyes have been blinded, whose heart has been wrung will yet rival heaven. The plqnetfs torn robe of pain and crimo and dementia will come off and the white and spotless and glittering robe of holiness and happiness will come on. The last wound will have stung for the last time, the grief will have wiped its last tear, the last criminal will have repented of his last crime and our world that has been a straggler among worlds, a lost star, a wayward planet, a rebellious globe, a miscreant satellite, will hear the voice that uttered childish plaint in Bethlehem and agonized prayer in Gethsemane and dying groan on Golgotha, and as this voice cries “Come,” our world will return from its wandering never again to stray. Marching on, marching on! It may be after our world, which Is thought to have about fifteen hundred million people, shall have on its decks twice its present population, namely, three* thousand million souls, and all redeemed, apd it will be after this world shall be so damaged by conflagration that no human foot can tread its surface and no human being can bre&the its air, but most certainly the day will come when heaven will be finished, and the last of the twelve gates of the eternal city shall have clanged shut, never to open except for the admission of some celestial embassage returning from some other world, and Christ may strike EJls scarred but healed hand in emphasis on the arm of the amethystine throne and say in substance: “All my ransomed ones are gathered. The work Is done. I have finished my march through tha centuries, ”

The Meaning of “Carnival.” The learned philologists who have undertaken to derive the meaning of the word “carnival” from other sources than this obviously ordinary Latin word carni-vale, “farewell to flesh, ” are drawn into many far-fetched schemes.. For many centuries in the Latin church it has been the rule to hold as a season of fasting the entire period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, and the chief fasting was abstention from flesh-meat as food and from what are considered fleshly indulgence! As a consequence, during the last few days preceding the lenten period, it was customary to feast and rejoice. The word vale, which is commonly translated farewell, means literally, “be strong,” or “prevail.” If carnival should be translated “prevail fleshmeat,” in signification of tho license to eat such strong food just before Lent, it wou d justify the usage adopted by Muratorl, Du Cange and others who derive carnival or carnovale, which is the Italian form, from the Italian carneavallare, “to swallow flesh. ” But avallare has also the meaning of “putting down” in the sense of overcoming and subduing the flesh. The word from the low Latin, carne levamen, “solace to the flesh,” is used by some, but in the! absence of any authoriative declaration upon a subject that the lexicographers have so much haggled over, we see no reason to reject the commonly received defln.tion that carnival means farewell to flesh.—New Orleans Picayune. Suggestions tor Young Men. Nothing begets confidence in a young* man sooner than a habit of punctuality, sobriety and accuracy. Money possesses a magnetic power; it stirs the world from its center to its circumference; It shapes the destinies of nations as well as those of individuals. Those who generally succeed make themselves merchants or business men by their unceasing application and toil; whatever their hands find to do they do it with ail their might. Establish a reputation for uprightness, promptness and fair dealing, and you are on the road to success; let all your transactions be based on integrity; make your word as good as your bond. Success is an object most universally desired, and can only be obtained by the exercise of good judgment, well-directed energy combined with good habits, industry, economy and perseverance. Faithful. One does not look for the whole truth upon a tombstone, but there are exceptions to all rules. The Times-Star quotes the following unique and touching epitaph: Ann I!., Wife of Jeremiah Walter* Died Nov. 16, 1868, aged 68 years 6 months.

Ventilation aad GMSMvoa. AD stoves for burning gas, oil or naphtha, whether employed tor heating or cooking purposes, should be provided with means for carrying the products of oombustion into the outside air. Wo should no more allow the products of oombustion to pass out into the atmosphere of our< rooms than we would allow a coal fire to burn in our dwellings without a chimney. It was well enough to hear of stoves which consumed their own smoke or condensed all their own products, but in any ordinary method of combustion such things were next to impossible. Wherever there was gas burned there must be good ventilation to carry away the products, and when he had seen small bath-rooms and kitchens heated by gas, with gas for cooking, and also water-heaters in use in confined places without chimneys, he had never marveled' at the complaints of headaches from the occupants, but he had wondered that the so-called “accidents” had not been more frequent. Every gas stove, whether for heating or cooking, should be connected with a chimney, or the outside air, in order to carry away the sulphurous and carbonic acids. No stove should be aUowed in any dwelling house except under these conditions. It should be universally known that the chief product of the combustion of gas is carbonic acid, a non-supporter of combustion or life; and when present in very small quantities in the air we breathe had a decided effect upon the living organism. It was essential, then, that this gas be eliminated from our rooms as fast as it is formed. The other impurity arose from the presence of sulphur compounds in the gas, which could easily be removed at a moderate cost. The sulphur compounds burned into sulphuric acid, commonly called oil of vitriol, and as such found their way into the articles of furniture, binding of books, brasswork, etc.— Chicago Times. In the Georgia Gold Mine. There seems to be very little confidence among the native whites in these mines. It may be said that they lack, knowledge of the business, but I suspect they know that the gold that is, or was, readily available has been exhausted. Few native Georgians engage in gold-iaining unless paid daily wages. But all of them are eager to seH mineral lands. Wages here are exceedingly low, the regular rate being from 80 cents to $1 Sr day. The men board themselves. iese rates are for white men. Georgia white labor is exceedingly difficult to handle. All the men own what they fondly imagine to be farms, and they cheerfully throw their tools into the ditch and quit work at any moment they think they have been imposed on, or that their crons need attention. Those men are unlike the Carolina sandhillers. They are fighters. They are mountain men. They were stanch Union men during the war, and very generally refused to serve in the Conlederate ranks. They are sure to get drunk on corn whisky if they get the chance. If the liquor has been made by moonshiners, it is thought to be sweeter. They are ignorant end edly poor; but there is good stu.l in them.— New York Sun. Vapor Polson and Its Antidote. The morning and evening mists that pervade the atmosphere of malarious localities cannot be breathed with impunity. A safeguard is needed to harmless the dangerous miasmata with which they are impregnated. The surest, safest defense is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It is an antidote to the poison which has already been inhaled and borne fruit, an adquate preventive of its harmful effects. No preparative for breathers of miasma-tainted air or drinkers of malaria-poisoned water like the Bitters. It completely neutralizes the otherwise Irresistible onset of the aerial foe. Settlers on newly cleared land, excavators of canal routes (notably that on the Isthmus of Panama), Western pioneers and emigrants—in short, all subjected to malarial influences in air or water—find in it a benign remedy.an effectual safeguard. Disorders of the stomach, liver, and bowels, “la grippe,* rheumatism, and kidney complaints are remedied by the Bitters.

Hygiene Items. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes gives this as an infallible prescription to insure long life: “Let half a dozen doctors thump you and knead you and test you in every possible way, and render their verdict that you have an internal complaint; they don’t know exactly what it is, but it will kill you certainly by and by. Then bid farewell to the world and shut yourself up for an invalid. If you are three-score years old when you commence this mode of life you probably may last twenty-seven years, and there you are, an octogenarian.” Source of tho “Skeeter*” City Boarder—Do you know.

“August Flower” For two years I suffered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by n physician. He finally, after trying everything, said stomach was about- - and that I would have to cease eating solid food for a time at least. I was so weak that I could not work. Finally on the recommendation of a friend who had used your preparations A worn-out with beneficial results, I procured a Stomach. bottle of August * Flower, and commenced using it. It seemed to do me good at once. I gained in strength and flesh rapidly; my appetite became good, and I suffered no bad effects from what I ate. I feel now like a new man, and consider that August Flower has entirely cured me of Dyspepsia in its worst form. James E. Dkderick, Saugerties, New York. W. B. Utsey, St. George’s, S. C., writer I have used your August Flower for Dyspepsia and find it an excellent remedy. • • RELIEVES all Stomach Distress. REMOVES Nausea, Sense of Fullness Congestion, Pain. REVIVES Failing ENERGY.
