CONSCIENCE PRICKS.

GRAPHIC STORY OF CHRIST GOVERNOR PILATE.

BEFORE

Rev. Dr. Talaiagc Holds an Audience Spellbound by His matchless Eloquence—Power and Effect of the "Still, Small Voice."

Divine Mercy.

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

At about 7 o'clock in tho morning, up the marble stairs of a palace and across the floor.- of richest mosaic and under ceilings dyed with all the splendors of color anil between snowbanks of white and glistening sculpture, passes a poor, pale, sick young man of 38, already condemned to death, on his way to be condemned again. Jesus of Nazareth is his name.

Coming out to meet him on this tessellated pavement is an unscrupulous compromising, timeserving cowardly xnan, with a few traces of sympathy and fair dealing left in his composition— Governor Pontius Pilate. Did ever such

humility, sin and holiness, midnight and midnoon. Christ Before Pilate.

The bloated lipped governor takes the cushioned seat, but the prisoner stands, his wrists manacled. In a semicircle around the prisoner are the sanhedrists, with flashing eyes and brandished fists, prosecuting this case in the name of religion, for tho bitterest persecutions have been religious prosecutions, and when satan takes hold of a good man ho 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 tho foaming infernalism of these old religious sanhedrists. Governor Pilate cross questions the prisoner and finds right away he is innocent and wants to let him go. His caution is also increased by some one who comes to tho governor and whispers 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 the innocence of this prisoner and about the 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 the intimation of sueli a thing brings upon the governor an equinoctial storm of indignation. They will report him to the emperor at Rome, they will have him recalled, they will send him up home, and lie will be hung for treason, for the emperor at Rome has already a suspicion in regard to Pilate, and that suspicion e. not cease until Pilate is banished and commits suicide. So Governor Pontius Pilate compromises the matter and proposes that Christ be whipped instead of assassinated. So the prisoner is fastened to a low pillar, and on his bent and bared back come the thongs of leather, with pieces of lead and bone intertwisted, so that every stroke shall be the more awful. Christ lifts himself from tho scourging with flushed check and 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 liad some of his blood they want all of it, down to the last corpuscle. So Governor Pontius Pilate, titer 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 haste to take the prisoner to execution and the mob outside are impatient to glare upon

Hypocritical Ablations.

Behold in this that ceremony amounts to nothing, if there are not in it correspondencies of heart and life. It is a good thing to wash the hands. God created three-quarters of the world water and in that commanded cleanliness, **7. and when the ancients did not take the hint he plunged the whole world under water and kept it there for some time.

Band washing was a religious ceremony among the Jews. The Jewish "Mishna gave particular direction how l|fthat the hands must be thrust three times up to the wrists in water, and the palm of the hand must be rubbed with the closed list of the other. All that is well enough for a symbol, but here in the text is a man who proposes to wash away the gnilt of a sin which he does not quit and of which he does not make any repentance. Pilate's wash basin was a dead failnre.

Ceremonies, however beautiful and appropriate, may be no more than this hypocritical ablution. In infancy we may bo sprinkled from the baptismal

font, and in manhood we may trade into fW imevegfejiAi" 'sm# to

opposites meet? Luxury and pain, selfishness and generosity, arrogance and hand—the blood of an innocent person, might have acquitted if he

their victim, a pause in necessitated. I perity upon him is agitated while I Yonder it comes—a wash basin. Some pure, bright water is poured into it, and then Governor Pilate puts his white, deli-

cate hands into the water and rubs them head, and then the look of unrest comes together and then lifts them dripping for the 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 the meaning of my text when it says: "He took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just person. See ye to it"

moral purification. We may kneel without prayer and bow without reverence and sing without any acceptance. All your creeds and liturgies ancl 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.

Nulling 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 beads counted. Nothing against incense floating up from censer amid Gothic arches, if the prayers be as genuine as the aroma is sweet. Nothing against Epiphany or Lent or Ash Wednesday or Easter or Good Friday or Whitsuntide or Palm Sunday, if these symbols have behind them genuine repentance, and holy reminiscence, and Christian consecration. But ceremony is only the slieath 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 the inward. Wash 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 this wash basin, the power of conscience. He had an idea there was blood on his

whom he only had the courage. Poor Pilate! His conscience was after him, and lie knew the stain would never be washed from the right hand or the left hand, and until the day of his death, though he might wash in all the lavers of the Roman empire, there would be still eight fingers .and two thumbs red at the tips.

Oh, the power of conscience when it is fully aroused! With whip of scorpions over a bed of spikes in pitch of midnight it chases guilt. Are there ghosts? Yes, not of the graveyard, but of one's mind not at rest.

And thus Brutus, amid his slumbering host, Startk-d with Ccesar's stalwart ghost. Macbeth looked at his hand after the midnight assassination, and he says:

I Will all groat Neptune's ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No this my hand will rather

The multitudinous seas incarnadine. Making the green one red. For every sin, great or small, conscience, which is the voice of God, has 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 he 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 the Duke of Gloucester, often in the night would say: "Away, away! Why do yon look at me?" Richard III, having slain his two nephews, would sometimes in the night shout from his couch and clutch his sword, lighting apparitions. Dr. Webster, having slain Parian an in Boston, and while waiting I for his doom, complained to the jailer that the prisoners on the other side of the wall all night long kept charging him with his crime, when there were no I prisoners on the other side of the wall It was the voice of his own conscience,

From what did Adam and Eve try to hide when they had all the world to themselves From their own conscience, What made Cain's punishment greater than he cor Id bear? His conscience. What made Ahabcry out to the prophet, "Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?" What made the great Felix tremble before the little missionary? Conscience. What made BeLsliazzar's teeth chatter with a chill when he saw a finger come out of tVn black sleeve of the midnight and write on the plastering? Conscience, conscience.

Pricked by Conscience.

Why is it that that man in this audience with all the marks of worldly pros-

speak and is now flushed and is now pale, and then the breath is uneven, and then beads of perspiration on the fore-

to a look of horror and despair? I know not. But he knows, and God knows. It

What made that farmer converted to God go to his infidel neighbor and say: "Neighbor, I have 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 have those sheep, and I want you to have the interest on the money,, and I want you to have the increase of the

may be that he despoiled a fair young spheres. That is what David cried out wife and turned innoconce into a waif and the smile of hope into the 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 ho knows it is not his own, and that if his heart should stop beating this moment he would be in hell forever. Or it may be he is responsible for a great mystery, the disappearance of some one who was never heard of, and the detectives were baffled, and the tracks were all covered up, and the swift horse or the rail train took him ont of reach, and there are only two persons in the universe who know of it—God and himself. God present at the 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 man's conscience rouses him he does not repent.

Bliwvp you are welcome to tliem. I don't want nothing of those things atalL You just go away from me. 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 net allow things to stand in that way, and so the infidel said: "Well, now, you can pay me the value of the' sheep, and per cent interest from that time to this, and I shan't say anything more about it. Just go away from me. What was the matter with the two farmers? In the one case a convicted conscience leading him to honesty, and in the other ea.se a convicted conscience warning against infidelity.

Converted Conscience.

Thomas Oliver was one of John Wesley's preaeher.s. Tho early part of his life had been fr.ll of recklessness, and he had made debts wherever he could borrow. He was converted to God, and then he went forth to preach and pay his debts. He had a small amount cf 1 property left him, and immediately set I

out to pay his debts, and everybody I knew he was in earnest, and to consummate the last payment he had to sell his I horse and saddle and bridle. That was conscience. That is converted conscience.

That is religion. Frank Tiebout, a converted rumseller, had a large amount of liquor on hand at the time of his conversion, and he put all the kegs and barrels and demijohns in a wagon and took them down in front of the old church where he had been converted and had everything emptied into the street. That is religion. Why the thousands of dollars sent every year to tho United States treasury at Washington as "conscience money?" Why, it simply means there are postmasters and there are attorneys and there are officials who sometimes retain that which does not belong to them, and these men are converted, or under powerful pressure of conscience, and make restitution. If all tho moneys out of which the state and the United States treasuries have been defrauded should come back to their rightful exchequers, there would be money enough to pay all the state debts and all the United States debt by day after tomorrow.

Conversion amounts to nothing unless the heart is converted, and the pocketbook is converted, and the cash drawer is converted, and the ledger is converted, and the fireproof safe is converted, and the pigeonhole containing the correspondence is converted, and his improvenient is noticed even by the canaiy bird that sings in the parlor, and the cat that licks the platter after the meal, and the dog that comes bounding from the keimel to greet him. A man half convert.ed, or quarter converted, or a tliou1 sandtli part converted is not converted I at all. What will be the great book in the day of judgment? Conscience. Conscience recalling inisimproved opportunities Conscience recalling unforgiven sins. Conscience bringing up all the past. Alas, for this governor, Pontius

Pilate! That night after the court had adjourned, and the sanhedrists had gone home, and nothing was heard outside the room but the step of the sentinel, I see Pontius Pilate arise from his tapestried and sleepless couch and go to tho laver and begin to wash his hands, crying: "Out, out. crimson spot! Tellest thou to me, and to God, and to the night, my crime? Is there 110 alkali to remove these dreadful stains? Is there no chemistry to dissolve this carnage? Must I to the day of my death carry the blood of this innocent man on my heart and hand? Out, thou crimson spot!" The worst thing a man can have is an evil conscience, and the best thing a man can have is what Paul calls a good conscience.

A Sunlit Dispensation.

But is there no such thing as moral purification? If a man is a sinner once, must I10 always be a sinner, and an miforgiven. sinner? We have all had con-, science after us. Or do you tell me that all the words of your life have been just right, and all the thoughts of your heart have been just right, and all the actions of your life just right? Then you do not know yourself, and I take the responsibility of saying you are a pliarisee, you are a hypocrite, you are a Pontius Pilate, and do not know it. You commit the very same sin that Pilate committed. You have crucified the Lord of Glory. But if nine-tenths of this audience are made up of thoughtful and earnest people, then nine-tenths of this audience are saying within themselves: "Is there no such thing as moral purification? Is there no laver in which the soul may wash and be clean?" Yes, yes, yes. Tell it in song,- tell it in sermon, tell it in prayer, tell it to the liemi-

for when he said, "Wash me thoroughly from my sin, and cleanse me from mine iniquities. And that is what, in another place, he cried out for when he said, "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.'' Behold, the laver of the gospel, filled with living fountains. Did you ever see the picture of the laver in the ancient tabernacle or in the ancient temple? The laver in the ancient tabernacle was made out of the women's metallic looking glasses. It was a great basin, standing on a beautful pedestal, but when the temple was built, then the laver was an immense affair, called the brazen sea, and, oh, how deep were the floods there gathered! And there were ten lavers besides—five at the right and five at the left—and each laver had 800 gallons of water. And the outside of these 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 the nostril throb, and the cherubim with outspread wings. That magnificent laver. of the aid dispensation-is a feeble type of the more glorious laver of our dispensation—rour sunlit dispensation.

prayer a!id the soul's flight heavenward when wo die. Come ye auditory, and wash away all your sins, however aggravated. and all your sorrows, however agonizing. Conic to this fountain, open for all sin and uncleanness, the furthest, the worst. You need not carry your sins half a second. Come and wash in this glorious 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 yet stand 011 the Ural and beckon to Russia, and it will stand at the gate of heaven and beckon t6 all nations. Pardon for all sin, and pardon right away, through the blood of the Son of God. A little child that had been blind, but through skillful surgery brought to sight, said: "Why, mother, why didn't you tell me the earth and sky are so beautiful? Why didn't you tell me?" "Oh," replied the 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 see 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.

History says that a great army came to capture ancient Jerusalem, and when this army got on the hills so that they saw the turrets and the towers of Jerusalem they gave a shout that made the earth tremble, and tradition, whether false or true, says that so great was the shout eagles flying in the air dropped under the atmospheric percussion. Oh, if we could only catch a glimpse of the towers of this gospel temple into which you are all invited to come and wash there would be a song jubilant, and wide resounding at New Jerusalem seen, at New Jerusalem taken, the hosannas of other worlds flying midair would fold their wings and drop into our closing doxology. Against the disappointing and insufficient laver of Pilate's vice and Pilate's cowardice and Pilate's sin I place the brazen sea of a Saviour's pardoning mercy.

Compressed Air In 3Iacliine Shops. Machine shop use of compressed air has 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 come into favor and are extensively employed over lathes, planers, (Mil presses and other tools, greatly facilitating the handling of pieces of work too heavy to be lifted without some special contrivance. Some cf those hoists are permanent fixtures, others are suspended from trolleys running 011 overhead rails and can be readily shifted about from one point to another, as occasion may require, taking their supply of air through flexible liose connections, and being thus available for miscellaneous hoisting service, loading and unloading freight and the like. I11 one large railroad shop in the 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 tlirough them. Tho air valves for the cylinders are conveniently worked by a regulating lever and chain.—Cashier's Magazine.

Can You Keep Your Hand Still? Thought provokes action. Think of doing something, and (unconsciously, perhaps) you begin to do it.

In the university of Wisconsin Professor Jastrow lias an instrument called the automatograph, which shows very clearly and precisely the automatic movements of the hand.

It consists merely of a piece of glass resting on three movable metal feet, or, in other words, it is a 'small carriage which will shift its position at the slightest movement.

At the end is a needle fixed vertically, and in contact with a roll of paper covered with a layer of lampblack. If the apparatus moves, the movement is traced on the paper by the needle. Both paper and needle are hidden by a screen.

Professor Jastrow tells you to rest your hand upon the glass and keep it perfectly stilL This appears quite easy, but when you think that your hand is quite motionless you find to your surprise that the needle is tracing lines on the paper.

The fact is you cannot keep your hand stilL Unconsciously and invisibly it moves with your thoughts. Look at that pair of scales, watch how the rod goes this way and that way as the scales move. Now look at the black paper. You will find that your hand .has been moving exactly in agreement with the movement of the rod.

Mrs. M. A. Dorchester.

Mrs. Merial A. Dorchester, wife of Rev. Dr. Daniel Dorchester, who died recently in Melrose, Mass., was a woman of much strength and character. She heartily enlisted in her husband's work when Dr. Dorchester was made Indian commissioner by President Harrison. She was appointed to take charge of the educational interests of Indian women and spent four years in founding schools and other institutions for them.

LIFE SAVED

By the Persistent Use of

Ayer's Sarsapariila

"I was troubled for years with a sore on my knee, which several physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, assuring me that nothing could be done to save my life. As a last resort, I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsapariila, and, after taking a number of bottles, the sore

began to disappear and my general health improve. I persisted in this treatment, until the sore was entirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsapariila occasionally as a tonic and blood-purifier, and, indeed, it seems as though I could not keep house without it."—Mrs. S. A. FIELDS, Blooinfield, la.
