. I ...1.1 II ... ■ ■ I Illi'' . ELOQUENT SERMON AT THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE. l aw.,w W 1 rhe First Cure of Christian Science— Christ the Impersonation of AU Sensitiveness. Tile Sublime Electrio Circuit —Medicine For Nervous People. Talmage's Weekly Talk. Rev. Dr. Talmage last Bunday chose tor the subject of his discourse the inquiry addressed by the Saviour to those who surrounded him when, the invalid woman having touched his garment, ho asked, "Whotouched me.” (Markv, 31)? A great crowd of excited people elbowing each other this way and that and Christ in the midst of the commotion. They wore on their way to see him restore to complete health a dying person. Some thought that he conld effect the cure, others that be could not. At any rate, it would bo an Interesting experiment. A verk sick woman of 12 years’ invalidism Is In tbe crowd. Some say her name was Martha, others say it was Veronica. I do not care what her name was, but this is certain—she bad tried all stylos of cure. Every shelf of her bumble homo had medicines on it* She had employed many of the doctors of that time when medical science was more rude and rough and Ignorant than we can imagine in this time, when tbe word physician or surgeon stands for potent aud educated skill. Processor Lightfoot gives a list of what ho supposes may have been the remedies she bad applied. I suppose she bad been blistered from head to foot and had tried the compress and had used all styles of astringent herbs, and sho had been mauled and hacked and cut and lacerated until life to her was a plague. Besides that the Bible Indicates her doctors’ bills had run up frightfully, and she bad paid money for medicines and for surgical attendance and for hygienic apparatus until her purse was as exhausted as her body. A Poor Woman’s Faith. What, poor woman, are you doing in that jostling crowd? Better go homo ■ and to bed and nurse your disorders. No! Wan and wasted and faint she ■ stands there, her face distorted with suffering, and ever and anon biting her lip with some acute pain, and sobbing until her tears fall from the hollow eye upon the fadded dress, only able to stand because the ctowd'is so close to her pushing her this way and that Stand back' Why do you crowd that poor body’ i Have you no consideration for a dying woman? But just at that time the crowd parts, and this invalid comes al--1 most up to Christ, but she is behind Him and His human eye does not take her in. Bbo has heard so much about His kindness to the sick, and she does feel so wretched she thinks if she can only just touch Him once it will do her good. She will not touch Him on the sacred head, for that might be irreverent She will not touch Him on the hand, for that might seem too familiar. She says: “I will, I think, touch Him, on His coat, not on the top of it or on the bottom of the main fabric, but on the border, the blue border, the long threads of the fringe of that blue border; there can be no harm in that. I don't think He will 1 hurt me; I have hoard so much about Him. Besides that, I can stand this no longer. Twelve years of suffering have worn me out This is my last hope.” And she presses through the crowd still farther and reaches for Christ, but she cannot quite touch him. She pushes still farther through the crowd and kneels and puts her finger to the edge of the blue fringe of the border. Sho just touches IL Quick as an electric shock there thrilled back into her shattered nerves and shrunken veins and exhausted arteries and panting l„uugs and withered muscles health, beautiful health, rubicund health, Got) given and complete health. The twelve years’ march of pain and pang and suffering over suspension bridge of nerve and through tunnel of bone instantly halted. Christ recognizes somehow that magnetic and healthful influence through the mediqm of the blue fringe of His garment had shot out Heturnsand looks upon that excited crowd and startles them with the Interrogatory of my text, “Who touched Me?" The insolent crowd in substance replied: “How do wo know? You get in a crowd like this, and you must expect to be jostled. You ask us a question you know we cannot answer.” But the roseate and rejuvenated woman came up aud knelt in front of Christ and told of the touch and told of the restoration, and Jesus said: “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go In peace.” So Mark gives us a dramatization of the gospel. Oh, what a doctor Christis! In every one of our households may He be the family physician! Christ’s Physical Magnetism. Notice that there Is no addition of help to others without substraction of power from ourselves. The context says that as soon as this woman was healed Jesus felt that virtue cr strength had gone out of him. No addition of help to others without substraction of strength from ourselves. Did you never get tired for others? Have you never risked your health for others? Have you never preached a sermon or delivered an exhortation or offered a burning prayer and then felt afterward that strength had gone out of you? Then you have never imitated Christ Are you curious to know how that garment of Christ should have wrought such a cure for this suppliant invalid? I suppose that Christ was subchargod with vitality. You know that diseases may be conveyed from city to city by garments, as iu case of epidemic, and I suppose that garments my bo subcharged with health. I suppose that Christ had such physical (magnetism that it permeated all his robe down to the last thread on the border of tho blue But in addition to that there was a Divine thrill, there was a miraculous potency, there was an omnipotent therapeutics, without which this 12 years’ invalid would uOt have been instantly restored. Now, if omnipotence cannot help others without depletion, how car: we over expect to bless the world without self sacrifice? A man who gives to some Christian object until be feels it, a man who in his occupation or profession overworks that he may educate his children, a man who on Sunday night goes home, all his nervous energy wrung out by active service in church or Sabbath school or city evangelization, has imitated Christ, and the strength has gone out of him. A mother, who robs herself of sleefr in behalf of a sick cradle, a wife who bears up cheerfully uudejjdomestic misfortune that she may encourage her husband in the combat against disaster, a woman who by hard saving and earnest prayer and good counsel, wiselygiven, and many years aov.oted to rearing her family for God and usefulness and Heavou, and who has nothing to showfor.it but premature gray hairs and'a profusion of deep wrinkles, is like Christ, and strength has gone out of her. That strength or virtue may have gone out through a garment sho has made for the home-; that, strength may have gone out through the sock you knit for the barefoot destitute’, that strength ' may go out through tho mantle hung up iu some closet after you are dead. So a crippled child sat every morning on her father's front stop so that when the kind Christian teacher passed by to school sfe might take hold cf her dress and let tno •'rose slide through her ,’wGe fingers. She

made her* o happy all the day. Aye, have we not In all our dwellings garments of the departed, a touch of which thrills us through and through, tbellfe of those who are gone thrilling through tbe life of those who stay? But, mark you, tho principal I evolve from this subject—no addition of health to others unless there boa subtraction of strength from ourselves. Ho felt that strength had gone out of him. The Two Currents. Notice also In this subject a Christ sensitive to human touch. Wo talk about God on a vast scale so much wo hardly appreciate his accessibility—God in magnitude rather than God in mlnutiie, God in the infinite rather than God In (the infinitesimal. But hero in my text we have a God arrested by a suffering touch. When In.the sham trial of Christ they struck him on tbe cheek, we can realize how that cheek tingled with pain. When under tbe scouring the rod struck the shoulders and back of Christ, wo can realize how he must have writhed under tho lacerations. But hero there Is a sick and nerveless finger that just touches the long threads of tho blue fringe of his coat, and he looks around and says, "Who touched me?” We talk about sensitive people, but Christ was the Impersonation of all sensitiveness. Tho slightest stroke of fho smallest finger of human disability makes all tho nerves of his head and heart and hand and feet vibrate. It Is not a stolid Christ, not a phlegmatic Christ, not a preoccupied Christ, not a hard Christ, not an Iron cased Christ, but an exquisitely sensitive Christ that my text unveils. All the things that touch us touch Him If by the hand of prayer wo make the connecting line between Him and ourselves complete. Mark you, this invalid of the text might have walked through that crowd all day and cried about her suffering, and no relief would have come if she had not touched Him. I When in your prayer you lav your baud on Christ, you touch all the sympathies of an ardent and glowing and responsive nature. You know that in telegraphy there are two currents of electricity. So when you put out your hand of prayer to Christ there are two currents —a current of sori row rolling up from your heart to Christ and a current of commiseration rolling i from the heart of Christ to you. Two J . currents. Oh, why do you go unhelpod? Why do you go wondering about this and wondering about that? Why do you not touch him? Are you sick? Ido not think you aro auy worse off than this invalid of the text Have you had a long struggle? 1 1 do not think it has been more than twelve years. Is your ease hopeless? So i was this of which :nv text Is the diagnosis . and prognosis. “Oh.” you say, “there are so many things between mo and God.” There was a whole mob between this In- . valid and Christ. She pressed through, , and 1 guesa you can press through. ; Medicine For Nervous People. 1 Oh, what comfort there is in this subject for people who are called nervoys! Os course it is a misapplied word in that > case, but I use it In the ordinary parlance. After 12 years of suffering, dh, what nervous depression she must have had! You all know that a good deal of 1 medicine taker., if it does not curejeaves the system exhausted, and in tho Bible 1 in so many words she “had suffered many things of many physicians and was ' nothing bettered, but rather grew 1 worse." She was as nervous as nervous ' could bo. Sbe knew all about insomania, and about the awful apprehension of something going to happen, and irritability about little things that in health 1 would not have perturbed her. I warrant you it was not a straight stroke she gave to the garment of Christ, but a trembling ; forearm, aud an uncertain motion of the > hand, and a quivering finger with which I she missed the marK toward which she 1 aimed. She did not touch the garment just where she expected to it When I see this nervous woman coming to the Lord Jesus Christ 1 say she is I making the way for all nervous people. Nervous people do not get much sympathy. If a man breaks bis arm, everybody is sorry, and they talk about it all up and down the street If a woman has 1 ! an eye put out by accident, they say, “That's a dreadful thing.” Everybody is asking about her convalescence. But when a person is suffering under the ailment of which I am now speaking they say, “Ob, that’s nothing; she’s a little ' nervous; that’s all,” putting a slight upon the most agonizing of suffering. Now. I have a new prescription to give ' you. Ido not ask you to discard human medicament. I believe in it When tho slightest thing occurs in the way of sickness in my household, we always riln for the doctor. Ido not want to despise 1 medicine. If you cannot sleep nights, do not despise bromide of potassium. If you have nervous paroxysm, do not de- > splse morphine. If you want to strenthen up your system, do not despise quinine as a tenia. Use ..all fight and proper , medicines,' But I want you to bring your insomnia,and bring your irritability, , and bring all our weaknesses, and with them touch Christ. Touch Him not only , on the hem of the garments, but touch Him on the shoulder, where He carries our burden; touch Him on the head, where He remembers all our sorrows; touch Him on the heart the center of sill His sympathies. Oh, yes, Paul was . right when he said, “We have not a high priest who cannot bo touched.” The fact is Christ himself is nervous. All those nights out of doors In malarial districts whore an Englishman or an American dies if he goes at certain seasons, sleeping omt of doors so many nights as Christ did, and so hungry, and His feet wot with the wash of the sea, and the wilderness tramp, and the persecution and the outrage, must have , broken down His nervous system, a fact by the statement that Ho lived so short a time on the cross. That is a lingering death ordinarily, and many a sufferer on the cross has writhed in pain twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours. Christ lived only six. Why? He was exhausted before He mounted the bloody tree. Oh, it is a wornout Christ, sympathetic with all people worn out A Wonderful Power. A Christian woman wentto the Tract House In New York and iskod for tracts for distribution. The first day sbe was j out on her Christian errand she saw I a police nan taking an intoxicated woman 1 to the station house. After the woman was discharged from custody this Christian tract distributor saw her coming away, all unkempt ana unlovely. The tract distributor went up, threw her arms around her neck and kissed her. The woman said. “Oh, my God, why do you kiss me?” “Well,” replied the other, "I think Jesus Christ told me to.” “Oh, no,“the woman said, “don’t you kiss me. It breaks my heart Nobody has kissed me since my mother died.” But that sisterly kiss brought her to Christ — started her on the road to Heaven. The world wants sympathy. It is dying for sympathy—largo headed, Christian sympathy. There is omnipotence tn the touch. Oh, I am glad that when we touch Christ Christ touches us. The knuckles, land the limbs, j,ud the Joints, all falling apart with that living death called the leprosy, a man is brought to Christ. A hundred doctors could not cure him. The wisest surgery would stand appalled before that loathsome patient What did Christ do? Ho did not amputate. He did not poultice. He did not scarify. He touched him, and he was well. The mother-in-law of the Apostle Peter was In a raging fever — brain fever, typhoid fever, or what I do not know.

Two blind men com© stumbling Into a room where Christ la Tbav are entirely sightless. Christ did not lift the eyelid to see whether It was cataract or ophthalmy. He did not pul the mon into a darn room for three or tour weeka Ho touched them, and they saw everything A man camo to Christ. Tbe drum of bls car had ceased to vibrate, and ho had a stuttering tongue. Christ touched the car, and he board; touched bis tongue, and ho articulated. There is a faneral coming out of tho gate—a widow following her only boy to tho grave. Christ cannot stand it and Ho put, hfs hand on the hearse, and tbe obloquies turn Into a resurrection day. Ob, my brother, I am so glad when wo touch Christ with our Borrows He touches us. When out of your grief and vexation you put your hand on Christ, it wakens all human reminiscence. Are wo tempted? He was tempted. Aro wo sick? He was sick. Are we persecuted? He was Aro wo bereft? Ho was bereft Tbe Unbllmo Circuit. St Yoo of Kermartln one morning wont out and saw a beggar asleep on his doorstop. Tho beggar had been all night in the cold. The next night St Yoo compelled this beggar to come up In the house and sleep In the Saint's bod, while Bt. Yoo passed the nigh ton the doorstop In the cold. Somsbody asked him why that eccentricity. He replied: “It Isn’t an eccentricity. I want to know how the poor suffer. I want to know their agonies that I may sympatlze with thorn, and therefore I slept on tbis eold step last night.” That Is tho way Christ knows so much about our sorrows. He slept on the cold doorstep of an Inhospitable world that would not let Him in. He is sympathetic now with all the suffering and all Hie tried and all tho perplexed. Oh, why do you not go and touch him? You utter yonr voice in a mountain pass, and there comes back ten echoes, twenty echoes, thirty echoes perhaps, woird echoes. Every voice of prayer, every ascription of praise,every groan of distress, has divine response and celestial reverberati on, and all tho galleries of Heaven are filled with sympathetic echoes, and throngs of ministering I angels echo, and the temples of the redeemed echo, and tbe hearts of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost echo and re-echo, 1 preach a Christ so near you can touch Him—touch Him with your guilt and get pacdon—touch Him with your trouble and get comfort—touch Him with your bondage and get manumission. You have seen a man take hold of an electric chain. A man can with one hand take one end of the chain, and with the other hand he may take hold of the other end of the chain. Then a hundred persons taking hold of that chain will altogether feel the electric power. You have seen that experiment. Weil, Christ with one wounded hand takes hold of one end of the elec- ■ trie chain ot love, and with the other wounded hand takes hold of tbe other end ot the electric chain of 1 love, and all earthly and angelic beings may lay hold of that chain, and around 1 and around in sublime and everlasting circuit runs the thrill of terrestrial and celestial and brotherly and saintly and 1 cherubic and seraphic and archangelic and divine sympathy. So that if this 1 morning Christ should sweep His hand over this audience and say. “Who touched me?" there would be hundredsand thousands of voices responding: “I! I! I!” Mississippi ’Skeeters. ' The railroad station at Mississippi City is located atnong the pines, and the way the mosquitos were biting there, even in April, was enough to keep a . mule moving. After awhile we got to talking about the inst cts, and I asked a native of the country: “Are they thicker than this in the summer ?" “Thicker! Why, in July there’s a million to one!” “And larger ?” “Larger! Why, sir, one of the regular ’skeeters of this section could carry i twentv of these on his back and still fly high!” I thought I’d down him at once, and i ■ so continued: “Now, sir, answer me truthfully. Do you believe that six of your biggest mosquitos could kill a mule if he was tied up out here ?” He looked at me in amazement for a ' minute, and then went to the door and beckoned in the man sitting on a box and watching the horses. When the I man came in, the native said: “William, you remember that air roan mule o’ yours ?” “I reckon.” “In perfect health, wasn’t he?” “He was.” “Could run like a deer, and kick liko a saw-log?” “He could ?” “And he was all alone in a ten-aero lot, William?” “He was.” “And two of them mud swamp ’skeeters got arter him one morning, and run him down and killed him, and devoured both hams and sucked every drop of blood in his body? William, speak up!” “Stranger, if they didn’t then I hope to be chewed to lags!” said William, and he said it exactly like a man who wouldn’t have allowed there were two ’skeeters if he hadn’t been earnestly convinced of the fact. He walked out doors, and a deep silence fell upon us two, broken only after a long interval by the native saying: ’“l’ve allns kinder suspected that them skeeters had assistance from a boss-fly, but I can’t prove it. I kinder think the hoss-fly held him down till the murder was committed!” —-if. Quad. Former Never Satisfied. On a Wisconsin Central train I met an old friend of the late Thaddeus Stevens. He told a little story related to him by Stevens thoroughly illustra--1 tive of the fact that the farmer is the ' most discontented person ou earth, whether his crops be bountiful or not It was in an early day, and Mr. Stevens had been conducting an important suit for a wealthy old Pennavlvanil farmer. During its progress lie was the latter’s guest While strolling over the farm, Mr. Stevens observed that the farmer’s corn crop, which was just ripening, was remarkable beyond anything he had ever seen. “My friend,” said Mr. Stevens to the farmer, “tbis is truly magnificent! There is nothing left to lie desired in your corn yield this year.” responded the farmer guardedly, “it is party fair; party fair. But” and this with a noticeable tinge of sadness, “that might be a few more ennnels —just a few more cnnnels—a if" ’ the end of the cob."—Chicago Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Prof. Garner’. Monkey Business. Word comes that Prof. Garner, who went to Africa a Rood whil? ago, armed with a phonograph and other apparatus. In order to pick up the language of monkeys, has arrived on the coast and that ho has been entirely successful in picking up monkey lingo. He has succeeded in recording ' over 200 monkey words, which he estimates Is fully twothirds of the whole vocabulary. In addition to this he has gotseveral monkeys with him that are learning to talk in other languages, one of which can swear a little in German. Prof. Garner’s monkey business is likely to bring him fame, but it probably won’t do very much good to the monkeys or ’to mankind. If they can utter as much as 200 words, however, thev might be trained sufficiently to become members of New York's 400. An intelligent monkey could go through the evolutions of that organization well enough, and those who are now engaged in it could be utilized in other occupations.—Reading Herald. Wants Their Necks Wrung. An Ohio genius has just applied for a pantent on, a device which he is confident will soon supersede the electric chair, the gallows, and all other machinery tor the execution of criminals. His invention is a chair in which the criminal to be executed is securely fastened. It has a kind of helmet attachment which just as securely holds the head. When everything is ready a trigger releases a strong spring, which causes the helmet to rotate and wrings the victim s neck, much as one would wring the neck of a chicken. The inventor thinks that the death caused by his device would be certain, instantanous, and as painless as any that could be devised. But what’s tire matter with the gullotine? One would as soon have his head chopped off as wrung off, and it could hardly hurt so much. Balance Wheel in a Watch. The little balance wheel of a watch vibrates five times per second. Imagine that this wheel, instead of swinging back and lorth like a pendulum,should rollon continuously over a given surface. Its circumference in a gentleman’s watch of ordinary size is two and one-quarter inches, and it makes a sweep in each direction of about three-fourths of its circumference. In other words, it would traverse in pne second a distance measuring about eight and a half inches. According to this computation the balance wheel of a watch would travel in a year over a distance of 3,677 miles in round numbers, and it would take the little wheel just six years and eight months to circumvolve the globe byway of the equator. An Electric Loo in. The Thomson Electric VVelding Company, Lyun, Mass., has, it is stated, just secured control of anelectric loom which will revolutionize the present manner of weaving all kinds of textile fabrics and the cost for labor will be much cheaper by the new method. The loom will be run by electricity and will weave fabrics from the coarsest carpet to the finest linen. There is no noise perceptible when tbe machine is in ooeration, as each shuttle and moving parts work independently. The present power looms operate at the rate of 140 to ISO picks a minute, while the eiectiic loom picks 250 to 300 a minute. Dlrectlblc Balloons. A large dirigible balloon, intended to make headway against air currents of 28 miles an hour, is being made in France.

It will weigh 66 ppuiids per horse power, and will be propelled by a screwin front with a rudder behind. An Odd Glock. A Warsaw (Poland) mechanic has constructed a wonderful clock.

A Cat Story. A member of the Zoological Society says: "I once had a cat which always sat up to the dinner table with me, and had his napkin round his neck and his plate and some fish. He was his paw, of course, bjjt he was vejv particular ana behaved with extraordinary decorum. When he had finished his fish I sometimes gave him a piece of mine. Ono day he was not to be found when the dinner-bell rang, so we began without him. Justasthe plates were put around puss came rushing up stairs and sprang into his- chair, with two mice in his mouth.
