CONSCIENCE PRICKS.

GRAPHIC STORY OF CHRIST BEFORE GOVERNOR PILATE/

TIov. Dr. Till mage Holds an Audience Spellbound ly His M&tchlcss Eloquence—Power and Kflectof tlio "Still, Small Voice."

Divine Mercy.

NEW YORK, May 5.—Rarely does any discourse hold an audience with such intense interest as did that which Rev. Dr. Tal]iia«e delivered this afternoon in the Academy of Music. He chose for his subject "Conscience," the text selected beinf* Matthew xxvii, 24: "He took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying: I am innocent of tlio blood of this just- person. See ye to it.

At abont 7 o'clock in the morning, up the marble stairs of a palace and across I the floors of richest mosaic and under ceilings dyed with all the splendors of I color and between snowbanks of white and glistening sculpture, passes a poor, pale, sick young man of 8 l, already condemned to death, 011 his way to bo condemned again. Jesus of Nazareth is his name.

Coming out to meet him on this tessellated pavement is an unscrupulous compromising, timeserving cowardly man, with a few traces of sympathy and fair dealing left in his composition— Governor Pontius Pilate. Did ever such opposites meet? Luxury and pain, selfishness and generosity, arrogance and humility, sin and holiness, midnight and I midnoon.

Christ Before Pilate.

The bloated lipped governor takes tho cushioned seat, but the prisoner stands, his wrists manacled. In a semicircle around the prisoner are the sanlu-drists, with flashing eyes and brandished lists, prosecuting this case in tho name of religion, for tlio bitterest persecutions have been religious prosecutions, and when satan takes hold of a good man he makes up by intensity for brevity of occupation. If you have never seen an ecclesiastical court trying a man, then you have no idea of the foaming infernalism of these old religious sauhedrisfs. Governor Pilate cross questions tlio prisoner and finds right away lie is innocent and wants to let him go. His caution is also increased by sonio one who comes to the governor and whisiers in his ear. The governor puts his hand behind his ear so as to catch the words almost inaudible. It is a message from Claudia Procula, his wife, who has had a dream about tlie innocence of this prisoner and about tlio danger of executing him, and she awakens from this morning dream in time to send the message to her husband, then on the judicial bench. And what with the protest of his wife, and the voice of his own conscience, and the entire failure of the sanhedrists to make out their case, Governor Pilate resolves to discharge the prisoner from custody.

But tho intimation of such a thing brings upon the governor an equinoctial storm of indignation. They will report him to tho emperor at Rome, they will have him recalled, they will send him up home, and ho "will be hung for treason, for the emperor at Rome has already a suspicion in regard to Pilate, and that suspicion does not cease until Pilate is banished and commits suicideSo Governor Pontius Pilate compromises the matter and proposes that Christ bo whipped instead of assassinated. So the prisoner is fastened to a low pill:ir, and on his bent and bared back come the thongs of leather, with pieces of lead and bono intertwisted, so that every stroke shall bo the more awful. Christ lifts himself from tho scourging with flushed cheek luid torn and quivering and mangled flesh, presenting a spectacle of suffering in which Rubens, the painter, found the theme for his greatest masterpiece.

But the sanhedrists are not yet satisfied. They have had some of his nerves lacerated they want them all lacerated They have had some of his blood they wane all of it, down to the last corpuscle. So Governor Pontius Pilate, after all this merciful hesitation, surrenders to the demoniacal cry of "Crucify him!" But the governor sends for something. He sends a slave out to get something. Although the constables are in hasto to take the prisoner to execution and the mob outside arc impatient to glare upon their victim, a pause in necessitated. Yonder it comes—a wash basin. Some pure, bright water is jxnu'ed into it, and then Governor Pilate puts his white,delicate hands into the water and rubs them together and then lifts them dripping for tlie towel fastened at the slave's girdle, while he practically says: "I wash my hands of this whole homicidal transaction. I wash my hands of this entire responsibility. You will have to bear it" That is tho meaning of my text when it says:

4'Hetook

ed his hands before the multitude, saying I am innocent of the blood of this just person. See ye to it

Hypocritical Ablutions.

Behold in this that ceremony amounts to nothing if there aro not in it correspondencies of heart and lifa It is a good thing to wash tho hands. God crcated three-quarters of tho world water and in that commanded cleanliness, and whon tho ancients did not take tho hint ho plunged tho whole world under water and kept it there for some time. Hand washing was a roligious ceremony among the Jews. Tlio Jewish Mishna gave particular direction how that tho hands must be thrust three times up to tho wrists in water,, and the palm of tho hand must bo rubbed with the closed fist of tho other. All that is well enough for a symbol, but here in the text is a man who proposes to wash away the guilt of a sin which ho does not quit and of which ho does not make any repentance. Pilato's wash basin was a dead failura

Ceremonies, however beautiful and appropriate, may bo 110 more than this hypocritical ablution. In infancy we may bo sprinkled from the baptismal font, and in manhood we may wade into deep immersion, and yet never come to

moral purification. We may kneel without prayer and bow without revercnca and sing without any aecepfcmco. All your creeds and liturgies ui(l sacraments and genuflections and religious convocations amount to nothing unless your heart life go into them. When that bronzed slave took from the presence of Pilate that wash basin, he carried away none of Pilate's cruelty, or Pilate's wickedness, or Pilate's guilt.

Niching against creeds we all have them, either written or implied. Nothing against ceremonies they are of infinite importance. Nothing against sacraments they are divinely commanded. Nothing against a rosary, if there be as many heartfelt prayers as lie'ids counted. Nothing against incense floating up from cense]' amid Gothic arches, if the prayers be as genuine as the aroma is sweet. Nothing against Epiphany or Lent or Ash I Wednesday or Easter or Good Friday or

Whitsuntide or Palm Sunday, if these symbols have behind them genuine repenrance, and holy reminiscence, and Christian consecration. But ceremony is only the slieavli to the sword, it is only the shell to the kernel, it is only the lamp to the flame, it is only the body to the spirit. 'he outward must be symbolical of tlio inward Wasli the hands by all means but, more than all, wash the heart.

The Voice of God.

Behold, also, as you see Governor Pontius Pilate thrust his hand into tin's wash basin, the power of conscience. He had an idea there was blood on his hand—the blond of an innocent person, whom lie might have acquitted if he only had the courage. Poor Pilate! His conscience was after him, :md he knew the stain would never bo washed from the right hand or the left hand, and until the, day of his death, though ho might

For every sin, great or small, conscience, which is the voice of God. lias a reproof, more or less emphatic. Charles IX, responsible for St. Bartholomew massacre, was chased by the bitter memories, and in his dying moment said to his doctor, Ambrose Parry: "Doctor, I don't- know what's the matter with me. I am in a fever of body and mind and have been for a long while. Oh, if I had only spared the innocent and the imbecile and the cripple,!" Rousseau declared in old age that a sin he committed in his youth still gave him sleepless nights. Charles II of Spain could not sleep unless lie had in the- room a confessor and two friars. Catiline had such bitter memories he was startled at the least sound. Cardinal Beaufort, having slain tho Duke of Gloucester, often in the night would say: "Away, away! Why do you look at me?" Richard III, having slain his two nephews, would sometimes in the night shout from his couch and clutch his sword, fighting apparitions. Dr. Webster, having slain Parkman in Boston, and while waiting for his doom, complained to the jailer that the prisoners 011 the other side of the wall all night long kept charging him with his crime, when there were no prisoners on the other side of th« walL It was the voice of his own conscience.

What made Belshazzar's teeth chatter wit.li a chill when lie saw a finger come out of tVr! black sleeve of tho midnight tuid write 011 the plastering? Conscience, conscience.

Pricked by Conscience.

Why is it that that man in this audience with all the marks of worldly prosperity upon him is agitated whilo I speak and is now flushed and is now pale, and then the breath is uneven, and then beads of perspiration 011 tho forehead, and then tha look of unrest comes to a look of horror and despair? I know not. But he knows, and God knows. It may be that ho despoiled a fair young wife and turned innocence into a waif and the smile of hope into tho brazen laughter of despair. Or it may be that he has in his possession the property of others, and by some stratagem he keeps it according to law, and yet he knows it is not his own, and that if his heart should stop beating this moment he would bo in hell forever. Or it may bo he is' responsible for a great mystery, the disappearance of some one who was never heard of, and tlio detectives were baffled, and the tracks were all covered up, and the swift horse or the rail train took him out of reach, and there are only two persons in the universe who know of it—God and himself. God present at tho time of the tragedy and present at the retrospection and conscience—conscience with stings, conscience with pinchers, conscience with flails, conscience with furnaces, is upon him, and until a mau's conscienco rouses him lie does not repent.

What made that farmer converted to God go to h?s infidel neighbor and say: "Neighbor, I havo four of your sheep. They came over into my fold six years ago. They had your mark upon them, and I changed it to my mark. I want you to havo those sheep, iukI I want you to have the interest on tho money, and I want you to havo tho increase of tho fold. If you want to send me to prison, I shall make no complaint?" The infidel heard of the man's conversion, and he said: "Now, now, if you havo got them

Something has got hold of you that I don't understand I heard you were down at those religious meetings." But the converted man would not allow things to stand in that way, and so tho infidel said: "Well, now, you can pay me the value of tho sheep, and 6 per cent interest from that time to this, and I shan't say anything I more about it. Just go away from me.

If all tho moneys (nit of which the state and the United States treasuries havo been defrauded should come back to their rightful exchequers, there would be money enough to pay all the state debts and all tho United States debt by day after tomorrow.

A man half converted, or quarter converted, or a thousandth part converted is not converted at all. What will lie the great book in th( day of jn Igment? Conscience. Conscience recalling misimproved opportunities Conscience recalling unforgiven s'ins. Conscience bringing up all the past. Alas, for this governor, Pontius Pilate! That night after the court had I adjourned, and the sanhedrists had gone home, and nothing was heard outside I the room but the stop of tho sentinel, I seo Pontius Pilate arise from his taposI tried and sleepless couch and go to the laver and begin to wash his hands, eryI ing: "Out, out. crimson spot Tellest thou to me. and to (rod, and to the night, my crime?

Or do you t"ll me that all the words of your life have been just right, a::-:I a.l the thoughts of your heart havo b( :i r::"kt, and ail the actions of your life just right? Then you do not know yourself, and I take tlio responsibility of saying you area pharisee, you aro 1 hypocrite, you area Pontius Pilate, and not know it. You commit tho very same sin that Pilate committed. You havo crucified the Lord of Glory. But if nine-tenths of this audience aro niado up of thoughtful and earnest people, then nine-tenths of t-liis audience are saying within themselves: "Is there 110 such thing as moral purification? Is there no laver in which tho soul may wash and bo clean?" Yes, yes, yes. Tell it in song, tell it in sermon, tell it in prayer, tell it to tho hemispheres. That is what David cried out for "when he said, "Wash me thoroughly from my sin, and cleanse me from mino iniquities. And that is what, in another place, he cried out for when lie said, "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Behold, tho laver of the gospel, filled with living fountains. Did you ever seo tho picture of the laver in the ancient tabernaelo or in the ancient temple? Tho laver iu tlio ancient tabernaelo was made out of the women's metallic looking glasses. It was a great basin, standing 011 a beautful pedestal, but when the tcmplo wsis built, then the laver was an immense affair, called the brazen sea, and, oh, how deep wero the floods there gathered! And there wero ten lavers besides—five at tho right and five at the left—and oach laver had 300 gallons of water. And tho outside of theso lavers was carved and chased with palm trees so delicately cut you could almost see the leaves tremble, and lions so true to life that you could imagine you saw tho nostril throb, and the cherubim with outspread wings. That magnificent lavor of the old dispensation is a feeble typo of tho more glorious laver of our dispensation—r-our sunlit dispensation. l)ivlue Mercy.

You need not carry your sins half a second. Come and wasli in this gL irious gospel laver. Why, that is an opportunity enough to swallow up all nations. That is an opportunity that will yet stand on the Alps and beckon to Italy, and yet stand 011 the Pyrenees and beckon to Spain, and it will yefc stand 011 the Ural and beckon to Russia, and it will stand at the gate of heaven and beckon to all nations.

A little child that had been blind, but through skillful surgery brought to sight, said: "Why, mother, why didn't you tell mo tho earth and sky aro so beautiful? Why didn't you toll me?" "Oh," replied tho mother, "my child, I did tell you often, I often told you how beautiful they are, but you were blind, and you couldn't see!''

Oh, if we could have our eyes opened to seo the glories in Jesus Christ wo would feel that the half had not been told us, and you would go to some Christian man and say, "Why didn't you tell me before of the glories in the Lord Jesus Christ?" and that friend would say, "I did tell you, but you were blind and could not see, and you were deaf and could not hear.

Compressed Air In Machine Shops. Machine shop use of compressed air lias been growing rapidly of late, and a varied service is now being regularly performed by compressed air appliances which not a great while ago were decidedly exceptional. Compressed air shop hoists, perhaps more than .any other similar class of apparatus, have corno into favor and are extensively employed over lathes, planers, drill presses and other tools, greatly facilitating the handling of pieces of work too heavy to bo lifted without some special contrivance. Some of these hoists are permanent fixtures, others are suspended from trolleys running 011 overhead rails and can bo readily shifted about from one point to another, as o-vasion may require, taking their supply of air through flexible lioso connect ions, and being thus available for miscellaneous hoisting service, loading and unloading freight and the like. Iti one lance railroad shop in tho western part of the United States small hoisting cylinders are scattered promiscuously about and save an immense amount of manual labor in lifting and handling materials at the different machines. They consist of 10 inch wrought iron pipe, not: bored, but simply rattled, and afterward still further smoothed by pressing a mandrel through them. The air valves for the cylinders are conveniently worked by a. regulating lever and chain.—Cashier's Magazine.
