A SUBLIME SACRIFICE. I

HOW CHRIST ITRCIIASED OIR DELIVERANCE OX CALVARY. Dr. TalmnKC Dellvera an Interesting; ni.ronr.e on raal'i Bold Challenge "Who Is He That Condemneth f" Christ One Intercessor nt the Thron of God. BROOKLYN, Au?. 13. The Rev. Dr. Talmajja today chose for his subject, "A Bold Challenge," the text beinj? Romans viil, 34: "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that Is ri?en apain, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for ms." Th!st 1 the last sermon I shall ever preach," said Christmas Evans on the 12th of June, 1S3S. Three days atterward he expired. I do not know what his text was, but I know that no man could choose a better theme though he knew it wan the last time he should ever preach than the subject found in this text. Paul flung this challenge of the text to the foot of all ecclesiastical and civil authority. He feared neither swords nor lions, earth or hell. Diocletian slew uncounted thousands under his administration, and the world has been full of persecution; but all the persecutors of the world could not affright PauL Was it because he was physically Ftronj?? Oh, no. I suppose he was very much weakened by exposure and maltreatment. Was it because he was lacking in sensitiveness? No; you find the most delicate shades of feeling1 playing in and out his letters and sermons. Some of his communications burst into tears. What was it that lifted Paul into this triumphant mood? The thought of a Saviour dead, a Saviour risen, a Saviour exalted, a Saviour interceding. Sublime Sacrifice. All the world has sunjr the praise of Princess Alice. One child having died of a contagious disease 6he was In the room where another was dying, and the court physician said to her, "You must not breathe the breath of this child or you yourself will die." But seeing the child mourning because of the de&th of her brother the mother stooped down and In sympathy kissed the little one, caught the disease and perished. All the world sang the heroism and the selfsacrifice of Princess Alice, but I have to tell you that when our race was dying the Lord Jesus stooped down and gave us the kiss of his everlasting love and perished that we might live. "It is Christ that died." Can you tell me how tender-hearted Paul could find anything- to rejoice at in the horrible death scene of Calvary? We weep at funerals; we are sympathetic when we pee a stranger die; when a murderer steps upon the scaffold we pray for his departing spirit, and how "could Taul the great-hearted Paulfind anything to be pleased with at the funeral of a God? Besides that, Christ had only recently died, and the sorrow was fresh in the memory of the world, and how in the fresh memory of a Saviour's death could Paul be exultant? It was because Paul saw in that death his own deliverance, and the deliverance of a race from still worse disaster. He saw the gap Into which the race must piunse. and he saw the bleeding hands of Christ close it. The glittering steel on the too of the executioner's spear in his sight kindled into a torch to light men heavenward. The persecutors saw over the cross five words written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin; but Paul saw over the cross of Christ only one word "expiationr He heard in the dying groan of Christ his own groan of eternal torture taken by another. Paul said to himself, "Had it not been that Christ volunteered in my behalf, those would have been by mauled hands and feet, my gashed side, my crimson temples." The- Harden of ClirUt. Men of great physical endurance have sometimes carried very heavy burdens 200 pounds, 400 pounds and they have still said, "My strength is not yet tested. Put on more weight." But after awhile they were compelled to cry out, "Stop; I can carry no more." But the burden of Christ was illimitable. First, there was His own burden of hunger and thirst and bereavement and a thousand outrages that have heaped upon Him. and on top of that burden were the sorrows of His poor old mother, and on top of those burdens the crimes of the ruffians who were executing Him. "Stop!" you cry. "It is enough; Christ can bear no more." And Christ says. "Roll on more burdens. Roll on Me the sins of this entire nation, and after that roll on Me the sins of the inhabited earth, and then roll on Me the sins of the 4.000 years past, bo far as those sins have been forgiven." And the angels of God, seeing the awful pressure, cry, "Stop! He can bear no more." And the blood rushing to the nnstril and lip seems to cry out,. "Enough! He can endure no more." But Christ says. "Roll on a greater burden roll on the sins of the next 1,900 years, roll on Me the sins of all the succeeding ages; roll on Me the agonies of hell, ages on ages, the furnaces and the prison houses and the tortures.'" That is what the bible means when it says, "He bore our eins and carried our sorrows." "Now." says Paul, "I am free. That suffering purchased my deliverance. God never collects a debt twice. I have a receipt in full. If God Is satisfied with me. then what do all the threats of eartn ana hen amount to? Brinsr on all your witnesses." saya Paul. "Show all your force. Do your worst against my soul. I defy you. I dare you. I challenge you. Who is he that corvdmneth? It is Christ that died." Oh, what a strong argument that put in the hand of every Christian man! Some day all the past sins of his life come down on his in a fiery troop, and they pouna away ai me gate or his soul, and they eay, " e have come for your ar rest. Any one of us could overcome you. e are 10,000 strong. Surrender!" And you open the door, and sinele-hand ed and alone you contend against that troop. You fling this divine weapon into their midst. You scatter those sins as quick as you can think it. "It Is Christ that died." Why thenbring up to us the sins of our past life? hat have we to do with those obsolete thlnps? You know how hard it is for a wrecker to bring up anything that is lost near the höre cf the sea. but sup pose some thing be lost half way be tween Liverpool and rsew York. It cannot be found. It cannot be fetched up "Now." says God. "your sins I have cast into the depths of the sea." MidAtlantic! All the machinery ever fashioned in foundries cf darkness and launched from the doors of eternal death, working for 10.000 years, cannot bring Bp one of our sins forgiven and forgoten and sunken into the depths of the sea. When sin Is pardoned it is gone it Is gone out of the books, it is gone out of the memory, it is gone out of existence. "Their sins and their Iniquities will I remember no more." The Trntceily That Save. From other tragedies men have come away exhausted and nervous and sleepless: but there In one tragedy that soothes and calms and saves. Calvary was the tage on which it was enacted.

the curtain of the night falling at midnoon was the drop scene, the thunder of falling rocks the orchestra, angels in the galleries and devils In the pit the spectators, the tragedy a crusiflxlon. "It Is Christ that died." Oh, triumphant thought! If you go through the picture galleries of Versailles you will find a great change there. I said to a friend who

had been through these galleries, "Are they as they were before the French war?" and I was told there was a great change there; that all that multitude of pictures which represented Napoleonic triumphs had been taken away and In the frames were other pictures representative of Germanic success and victory. Oh, that all the scenes of satanic triumph In our world might be blotted out, and that the whole world might be a picture gallery representing the tri umphant Jesus! Down with the monarchy of transgression! Up with the monarchy of our king! Hall! Jesus, hail! But I must give you the second cause of Paul's exhilaration. If Christ had staid In that grave we never would have gotten out of It. The grave would have been dark and dismal as the coneiergerie during the reign of terror. where the carts came up only to take the victims out to the scaffold. I do not wonder that the ancients tried by embalmment of the body to resist the dissolution of death. The grave is the darkest, deepest. ghastliest chasm that was ever opened if there be no light from the resurrection throne streaming into it, but Christ staid in the tomb all Friday night and all Saturday, all Saturday night and a part of Sunday morning. He staid sor long in the tomb that he might fit it for us when we go there. He tarried two whole nights in the grave, so that he saw how important It was to have plenty of liht, and he haa flooded it with his own glory. It is early Sunday morning and we start up to find the grave of Christ. We find the morning sun gilding the dew, and the shrubs are sweet as the foot crushes them. What a beautiful place to be buried in! Wonder they did not treat Christ as well when he was alive as they do now that he is dead. Give the military salute to the soldiers who stand guarding the dead. But, hark to the crash! an earthquake! The soldiers fall back as though they were dead, and the stone at the door of Christ's tomb spins down the hill, flung by the arm of an angel. Come forth, O Jesus! from the darkness into the sunlight. Come forth and breathe the perfume of Joseph's garden. Christ comes forth radiant, and as he steps out of the excavation of the rock I look down into the excavation and in the distance I see others coming hand in hand and troop after troop, and I find it is a long procession of the precious dead. Among them are our own loved ones father, mother, brother, sister, companion, children, coming up out of the excaval'on of the rock until the last one has stepped out Into the light, and I am bewildered and I can not understand the scene until I see Christ wave his hand over the advancing procession from the rock and hear him cry. "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believeth in me. though ho were dead, yet shall he live." And then I notice that the long dirge of the world's woe suddenly stops at the archangelic shout of "Come forth!" Results of the Resurrect Ion. Oh, my friends, if Christ had not broken out of the grave you and I would never come out of it! It would . have been another case of Charlotte Corday attempting to slay a tyrant, herself slain. It would have been another case of John Brown attempting to free the slaves, himself hung. It would have beer, death and Christ in a grapple and death the victor. The black Hag would have floated on all the graves and mausoleums of the dead, and hell would have conquered the forces of heaven and captured the ramparts of God, and satan would have come to coronation in the palaces of heaven, and it would have been devils on the throne and sons of God in the dungeon. No! no! no! When that stone was rolled from the door of Christ's grave, it was hurled with such a force that it crashed in all the grave doors of Christ1 endom, and now the tomb is only a bower where God's children take a siesta, an afternoon nap, to wake up In mighty invigoration. "Christ Is risen." Hang that lamp among all the tombs of my dead. Hang it over my own resting place. Christ's suffering is ended; His work Is done. The darkest Friday afternoon of the world's history becomes the briphtest Sunday morning of its resurrection joy. The Good Friday of bitter memories becomes the Easter of glorious transformation and resurrection. Ye mourning saints, dry every tear F"or your departed Lord. Behold the place. He is not here. The tomb is all unbarred. The gates of death were closed In vain. The Lord is risen He lives again. I give you the third cause of Paul's exhilaration. We honor the right hand more than we do the left. If in accident or battle we must lose one hand, let it be the left. The left hand being nearer the heart, we may not do so much of the violent work of life with that hand without physical dang-er, but he who has the right arm in full play has the mightiest of all earthly weapons. In all ages and In all languages the rlpht hand is the symbol of strength and power and honor. Hiram Bat at the right hand of Solomon. Then we have the term, "He is a right-hand man." Lafayette was Washington's right-hand man; Marshal Ney was Napoleon's right-hand man, and now you have the meaning of Paul when he speaks of Christ, who Is at the right hand of God. The Hero of the lTnIverse. That means He Is the first guest of heaven. He has a right to sit there. The hero of the universe! Count His wounds; two In the feet, two in the hands, one In the side five wounds. Oh, you have counted wrong. These are not half the wounds. Look at the severer wounds in the temples; each thorn an excruciation. If a hero come back from battle, and he takes off his hat or rolls up his sleeve and shows you the scar wound gotten at Ball's Bluff or at South Mountain, you stand in admiration at his heroism and patriotism, but if Christ should make conspicuous the five wounds gotten on Calvary that Waterloo of all ages He would display only a small part of His wounds. Wounded all over, let Him sit at the right hand of God. He haa a right to sit there. By the request of God the Father and the unanimous suffrage of all heaven let Him sit there. In the grand review, when the redeemed pass by in cohorts of splendor, they will look at Him and shout, "Victory." The oldest inhabitant of heaven never saw a grander day than the one when Christ took, His lace on the right hand of God. Hosanna! With lips of clay I may not appropriately utter it, but let the martyrs under the altar throw the cry to the elders before the throne, and they can toss it to the choir on the sea of glass until all heaven shall lift It some on point of scepter, and some on string of harp, and some on the tip of the green branches. Hosanna! Hosanna! A fourth case of Paul's exhilaration: After a clergyman had preached a sermon In regard to the glories of heaven and the splendors of the ncene an aged woman said. "If all that is to go on In heaven, I don't know what will become of my poor head." Oh, my friends, there will be so many things going on In heaven I have sometimes wondered If the Lord would not forget you and me! Taul In Priaon. Perhaps Paul said sometimes: "I wonder God does not forget me down here In Antloch, and In the prison, and in the shipwreck. There are so many sailors, so many wayfarers, bo many prisoners, so many heart-broken men," says Paul, "perhaps God may forget me. And then I am so vile a sinner. How I whipped thoe Christians! With what vengeance I mounted that cavalry horse and dashed up to Damascus! Oh! it will take a

But Just at that moment there came in upon Paul'a soul something mightier than the surges that dashed his ship into Melita. swifter than the horse he rode to Damascus. It was the swift and overwhelming thought of Christ's intercession. My friends, we must have an advocate. A poor lawyer is worse than no lawyer at all. We must have one who is able Ruocessfully to present our cause before God. Where is he? Who is he? There is only one advocate in all the universe that can plead our cause before God in the great tribunal. Sometimes in earthly courts attorneys have specialties, and one man succeeds better in patent cases, another in insurance cases, another in criminal cases, another in land cases, another in will cases, and his success generally depends upon his sticking to that specialty. I have to tell you that Christ can do many things but it peems to me that His specialty is to take the bad case of the sinner and plead It before God until He gets our eternal acquittal. Oh, we must have Him for our advocate. But what plea can He make? Sometimes an attorney in court will plead the innocence of the prisoner. That would be inappropriate for us; we are all suilty! guilty! Unclean, unclean! Christ, our advocate, will not rlead our innocence. Sometimes the attorney in court tries to prove an alibi. He says: "This prisoner was not at the scene. He was In some other place at the time." Such a plea will not do in our case. The Lord found us in all our sins and in the very place of our iniquity. It Is impossible to prove an alibi. Sometimes an attorney will plead the insanity of the prisoner and say he Is irresponsible on that account. That plea will never do in our case. We sinned against light, apainst knowledge, against the dictates of our own consciences; we knew what we were doing. What then shall the plea be? Christ's Martyrdom. The plea for our eternal deliverance will be Christ's own martyrdom. He will say: "Look at all these wounds. By all these sufferings I demand the rescue of this man from sin and death and hell. ConStable, knock oft the snackles let the prisoner go free." "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen aKain. whn is even at the right hand of God. who also maketh intercession for us." But why all this gladness on the faces of these sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty? I know what you are thinking of. A Savior dead: a Savior risen; a Savior exalted; a Savior interceding; "What." say you, "is all that for me?" All, all! Never let me hear you complaining about anything? aprain. With your pardoned sin behind you, and a successful Christ pleading- above you, and a glorious heaven before j ou, how can you be despondent about anything? Hut. says some man in the audience, "all that is very good and very true for those who are inside the kingdom, but how about those of us who are outside?" Thon I say, come into the kingdom, come out of the prison house into the glorious sunlight of God's mercy and pardon and come now! It was in the last days of the reign of terror, the year 17y3. Hundreds and thousands had perished tin ler the French guillotine. France groaned with the grannies of Kobesplerre and the Jacobin club. The last group of sufferers had had their locks shorn by Monchotte, the prison barber, so that the neck might be bare to th keen knife of the guillotine. The carts came up to the prison, the poor wretches were placed in the carta and driven off toward the scaffold. Hut while they were going toward the scaffold there was an outcry in the street, and then the shock of firearms, and then the cry: "Robespierre has fallen! Down with the Jacobins! Let Kran: be free!" But the armed soldiers rode in upon these rescuers, so that the poor wretches in the carts were taken on to the scaffold and horribly died. But that very night these monsters of persecution were seized, and Robespierre perished under the very guillotine that he had reared for others, all France clapping their hands with Joy as his head rolled into the executioner's basket. Then the axes of the excited populace were heald pounding against the gates of the prison, and the poor prisoners walked out free. My friends, sin is the worst of all Robespierres. It is the tyrant of tyrants. It has built a prison house for our soul. It plots our death. It has 6horn us for the sacrifice; but blessed be Ood, this mornins we hear the axes of God's gracious deliverance pounding against the door of our prison. Deliverance has come. Light breaks through all the wards of the prison. Revolution! Revolution! "Where sin abounded grace does much more abound, that wherea sin reigned unto death even so grace may reign unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Glorious truth! A Savior dead; a Savior risen; a Savior exaletd; a Savior interceding! Waiting lor Wind. Small Boy (on river bank) "Do you know "bout weather?" Old Gentleman "I have studied meteorology a little." "Well, I have ben standin' here 'most a hour, waltin for the wind to blow hard, and it don't blow a bit. Do you think it will soon?" "I shouldn't wonder, my little man. The sky looks very streaky. But what do you want of the wind?" "I want to have a swim." "It does not require wind to go swimming." "No; but mamma won't let me go in. That's why I want wind." "I don't understand." "Don't? Guess it's a good while since you was a boy, isn't it?" "Yes; a good while." "And your mem'ry Isn't very good, I s'pose?" "Perhaps not. I certainly cannot recall any connection between wind and swimming." "W'y, don't you see? If a wind comes along and blows my hat into the water, I can go after it, and mamma won't say a word.

THE PRESS ON THE MESSAGE.

(Associated Press Report.) There is not in the message a word of concession or comfort to the silver men, ßt Loui3 Fost-Dispatch dem. It wai a forcible stat paper and several questions, which wero In doubt, are settled by lt. Cincinnati Enquirer nond. It is clear and forcible presentation of the subject now moBt prominent before the country. Chicago Inter Oceanrep. It Is a message that every American must respect and in which all may feel not only satisfaction, but pride. N. Y. Times ind. The message itself 13" a gold standard document without a word as to any substitute for existing legislation. Kansas City Journal rep. The president has honestly described a condition as it appears to him and congress will honestly seek a remedy. St. Louis Republic dem. The message must make a profound Impression upon the country, which Just now ought to be in a receptive mood. Louisville Times dem. The utterances on the silver question are not disappointing to those who expected sound and business-like views. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette rep. There Is no hope for silver if the message of President Cleveland to congress is to be the ultimatum and to be accepted by that body. Denver Times rep. The president's message points out the danger In which the country Is placed by unwise laws. It urges their Immedi ate repeal. New York Evening World dem. It lacks the vigor, strength and empha sis which have in former times marked his expressions regarding topics of national interest. New York Evening World dem. Taken as a whole, the president's message will prove a greater setback to the advocates of the single gold standard than to the upholders of bimetallism. Denver Republican rep. The message is conservative and strong, and will, we confidently believe, have a powerful and beneficial influence upon congress and the country at large. New Orleans States dem. While the president makes a well-urged plea practically for monometallism, he seems to forget entirely the democratic party, which pledged itself to maintain bimetallism. Chicago Times Dem. It shows the workingmen of the country, a potent element m the voting population, how disastrously they would be affected by a cheapening of the dollar. N. Y. Commercial Bulletin ind. It passes human comprehension that in the face of the change of policy in the United States, England's bimetalllsts should advocate a return to free silver in India. London Graphic liberal union ist. In sticking to one subject with earnest insistance Mr. Cleveland has thrown on congress responsibility for any delay that may occur in providing relief for the present situation. Chicago Journal dem. The principal intent and effect of the president's message is to put unequivocally and unalterably upon congress the responsibility for the continuance of the existing trouble. New York Evening Sun nond. President Cleveland's messago has hardly satisfied the country. It was restricted to the question of silver, while the public looked for a broader treatment of the monetary issue. St. Louis Globe-Democrat rep. President Cleveland is manifestly doing everything possible to terminate the evil, but the silver interest is certain to make a tough fight. It is not easy to predict the precise issue of the struggle. London Times tory. The president does well to emphasize one phase of the trouble which has received less attention than it merits. This is the bad effect of a depreciated or a suspected currency upon the wageearner. N. Y. World dem. The message is a clear statement of the case against silver purchase, as nearly non-partlaan as it could be, conciliatory in spirit and well calculated to unite the sound money men of both parties. Cleveland Leader rep. The message is a clear and distinct presentation of the financial situation and of the needs growing out of that sittuation, and will commend the attention of every thougiful person In the country. Detroit Free Press dem. The recommendation of President Cleveland will meet with very general approval. The question submitted to congress is not of a political character and should not be viewed from an angle of partisanship. Chicago Record rep. Now that congress has been brought together for the special purpose of dealing with the question Sherman law repeal it would be a positive crime for members of that body to waste time in obstruse debates. N. Y. Herald dem. There is no suggestion of compromise in the message, no project for a substitute for the Sherman law. It can hardly fail to stir the country and bring a sharp return stroke of public opinion upon congress. New York Evening Post. ind. As a part of the world's currency the metal cannot be demonetized with safety and if through America some method for Its more extended employment were devised, the benefits to the world would be of supreme importance. London Post tory. The relief is simple an easy . to give. Congress could grant it iri forty-eight hours and any unnecessary delay on its part is a direct Injury Inflicted on the business interests of the whole country and is a useless waste of the people's money. Kansas City Times dem. And are not the representatives of both the great parties In congress bound to strengthen the hands of the executive on this question? The American people must now have learned by new experience that the president is right in thi3 silver question. N. Y. Staatz-Zeitung ind. There is no hesitation or uncertainty about the president's conclusion nor about the processes of reasoning by which he arrived at it. Mr. Cleveland's entire public career is a guarantee that, believing it to be right, he will omit no honorable meana to its accomplishments. Chicago News ind. President Cleveland's message Is the utteiance of a strong man, who Is by nature the dauntless and confident leader of men. It would seem to be good politics for the democratic congress to accept his direction and proceed promptly to action upon the lines which he has laid down. Kansas City Star ind. Touching the tariff the president speaks In no uncertain tone. Here the message Is all that the most ardent friends of revenue reform could desire or ask. It removes any doubt that may have been created by the artful misrepresentation of the protectionists as to Mr. Cleveland's position and Intentions. Louisville Courier Journal dem. The line Is drawn. On one side Is Grover Cleveland and all the power of his administration to force the country (Tasteless Effectual.) ron all siomicn, utauiness, ruuiic. wciim .mci Meali, Oizzlness, Drowsiness, Chills, Flush. tags of Heat, Loss of Appetit.

at whatever cost to the gold standard. On the other are the people with their Interests struggling to restore the bemetallic standard and thus save themselves and their country from utter business ruin. Rocky Mountain News rep. The president deserves high honor for this message so free from every suggestion of trimming and compromise at a time when the air is full of bartering schemes and so earnest and strong In Its appeal to the good sense of men of ail parties to stop the dread of vicious action on the money question. Without distinction of party men who care for the public welfare will sustain him wherever he is go clearly in the right. N. Y. Tribune rep. Why could not Mr. Cleveland have gone to the extent of saying to the congress of the United States whether he thought from his knowledge of the financial condition of the country that such repeal was all that was necessayr. Instead of taking ground and giving some advice as to this point he contents himself with throwing upon congress the whole burden of solving the problem without one syllable of advice. Memphis Appeal-Avalanche dem. Mr. Cleveland has discovered that this Is a broad and lengthy land; that legislation beneficial to the East Is utterly disastrous to the West; that between the gold kings of Wall-st. and the silver miners of Colorado there is no bond. Having made this discovery he seeks by the aid of his pen to say to all what Is least disagreeable. On the tariff the president is practically silent. He pays it the tribute of a courtly bow and then, Jinking his arm with that of the gold uug, stalks stately by to witness the execution of the white metallists. Mr. Cleveland Is no longer a statesman; he has become a diplomat. San Francisco Post ind. dem. No part of President Cleveland's message, as important as it is in every part, Is more significant or politically reassuring than this passage: "It was my purpose to summon congress in special session early in the coming September that we might enter promptly upon the work of tariff reform, which the true interests of the country clearly demand, and which so large a majority of the people, as shown by their suffrages, desire and expect, and to the accomplishment of which every officer of the present administration is pledged." We congratulate the democracy on the fact that the president recognizes squarely and honorably the validity of the pledge. There Is no sign of repudiation. N. Y. Sun nond.

Plsn's Leaning Tower. The famous leaning tower of Pisa is a campanile or bell tower. It was begun in 1174 by the two famous architects, Bonana of Pisa and William Innspruck. The tower, which is cylindrical in form, is 179 feet high and fifty feet in diameter, made entirely of white marble. It has eight stories, each with an outside gallery projecting several feet from the building and decorated with columns and arcades. In the center of the tower a fiipht of 330 steps passes up to the summit. It is called the leaning tower from the fact that it inclines some thirty feet from the perpendicular, and It is not generality known that this Inclination, which gives the tower such a remarkable appearance, was not intentional. At the time that it was about half done the error in measurement was perceived, and it was guarded against by the use of extra braces in the further construction of the building and an adaptation of the stone in the highest portion. There are seven bells on the top of the tower, the larpest of which weighs 12,000 pounds, and these are so placed as to counteract as far as possible the leaning of the tower itself. ODDS AXD EXDS.
