TAIMAMC’S SERMON. ; race >1 Ctelolttudj I jL_y® Saorlfloes. T / Xf? Surrendered to Become the y/ /ffi of Mankind—We Con Never <T TlSr Appreciate HU belXAbnegation, rV a. DeWltt Talmage told again the oiYold ,tor J °f abounding grace, but dJEpsed it in new garb in the telling. Hit sermon was based on the text: - Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, tbst. though He wss rich, yet for your sakes He became poor.—ll. Corinthians, vili., 9. That ail the worlds which on a cold winter’s night make the Heavens one great, glitter are without inhabitants is an absurdity. Scientists tell us that many of these worlds are too hot or cold or too rarefied of atmosphere for residence. But, if not fit for human abode, they may be fit for beings dis- . ferent from and superior to ourselves. We are told that the world of Jupiter is changing and becoming fit for creatures like the human race, and that Jtlurs would do for the human family with a little change in the structure of our respiratory organs. But that there is a great world swung somewhere, vast beyond imagination, and that it is of the universe, and"the metropolis of immensity, and has a population in numbers vast beyond all statistics, and appointments of splendor beyond the capacity of canvas or poem or angel to describe, is as certain as the Bible is authentic. Perhaps some of the astronomers with their big telescopes have already caught a glimpse of it, not knowing what it is. We spell it with six letters and pronounce it Heaven. That is where Prince Jesus lived nineteen dentures ago. He was the King's son. ft was the old homestead of eternity, and all its castles were as old as God. No a frost has ever chilled the ail'. Not a tear had ever rolled down the cheek of one of its inhabitants. There had never been a headache, or a suicide, or a heartache. There had not been a funeral in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. There had never in all thelapd woven a black veil, for there had never been anything to mourn over. The passage of millions of years had not wrinkled or crippled or bedimmed any of its citizens. All the people there were in a slate of eternal adolescence. What floral and pomonic richness! Gardens of perpetual bloom and orchards in unending fruitage. Had some spirit from another world entered and asked: ,- What is sin? What is- bereavement? What is sorrow? What is death?” the brightest of the intelligences would have failed to give definition, though to study the question there was silence in Heaven for half an hour. The Prince of whom I speak had honors, emoluments, acclamations, such as no other prince, celestial or terrestrial, ever enjoyed. As He passed the street, the inhabitants took off from their brows garlands of white lilies an<Lthrew them in the way. He 'ever entered any of the temples without all the worshipers rising up and bowing in obeisance. In ail the processions of the hlgh ilays He was the one who evoked the loudest wel* come. Sometimes on foot, walking in loving talk with the humblest in the land,,at other times He took chariot, and among the 20,000 that the Psalmist spoke of He was the swiftest and most flaming; or, as when St. John described Him, He took white palfrey with what prance of foot, and arch' of heck, and roll of mane, and gleam of eye, is only dimly suggested In the Apocalypse. He was not like other princes, waiting for the father to die and then take the throne. When years ago an artist in Germany made a picture for the royal gallery representing the Emperor William on the throne, and • the crown prince as having one foot on the step of the throne, the Emperor William ordered the picture changed, and said: “Let the prince keep his foot off the throne till I leave it.

Already enthroned was the Heavenly Prince side by side with the Father. What a circle of dominion! "What multitudes of admirers! What unending round of glories! All the towers chimed the Prince's praises. Os all the inhabitants, from the center of the city on over the hills and clear down to the beach against which the ocean of imlnensesity rolls its billows, the Prince was the acknowledged favorite. No wonder my text says that “He was rich.” Set all the diamonds of the earth in one scepter, build all the palaces of the earth in ore Alhambra, gather all the pearls of the sea in one diadem, put all the values of the earth in une diadem, put all the values of the earth in one coin, the aggregate could not express His affluence. Yes, St. Paul was right. Solomon had in gold £630,000,000, and in silver £1,029,377,000. llut a greater than Solomon is here. Not the millionaire, but the owner of all things. To describe His celestial surroundings, the .Bible uses all colors, gathering them in rainbow over and setting them as agate in the temple window, and hoisting i3 pf them into the wall, from striped jasper at the base to transparent amethyst in the capstone, while between are green of emerald, and snow of pearl, and .blue of sapphire, and yellow of topaz, gray. of chrysoprase, add flame of jaciqth. AM, the iovliness of lapdscano |h foliage, and river, ana rillj ana all enchantment aquamarine, the sea of glass mingled with fire as when the sun Sinks in the Mediterranean, All the . thrill of mu* tic, instrumental, and vocal, harps, trumpets, doxologies. There stood the Prince, surrounded by those who bad under their wings the velocity of millions of miles in a second, Himself #i?h in love, rich in adoration, rich in power, rich in worship, rich in holiness. rich in worship, rich in “all the ~i fullnoss of the Godhead bodily.” But one day there was a big-disaster in a department of God 4 * universe. A race fallen! A world in ruins! Qflr nianqt the scene, ol catastrophe! A globe swinging qat into darkness, \vitb mountains, and seas, and ialanda,

•n awful centrifugal of sin sestnlng to overpower the beautiful centripetal of MWc i*liaasa-dt-w—Trocar reached Heaven. Such a sound h*d never been heard there. Plenty of sweet sounds, but never an outcry of distress or an echo of agony. At that one groan the Prince rose from . . ?. cirgumjacence, and started for the outer gate and descended into the night of this world. Out of what a bright harbor into what a rough sea! “Stay with us,” cried angel after “w a “ d P otent ate after potentate. No, wild the prince, “I can not stay; I must be off for that wreck of a world.' I must stop that groan. I must hush that distress. I must fathom that abyss. I must redeem those nations. Farewell, thrones and temples, hosts o^i?irU^ 0 ’ sera Phlc, archangelic! I will come back again, carrying on my shoulder a ransomed world’. Till this is done I choose earthly scoff to Heavenly acclamation. and a cattle-pen to a king’s palace, frigid zone of earth to atmosphere of celestial radiance. I have no time to lose, for hark ye to the groan that grows mightier while I wait! Farewell! Farewell! “Yeknow the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, ytet for your sakes He becomes poor.” Was there ever a contrast so over; powering as that between the noonday of Christ’s celestial departure and the midnight of His earthly arrival? enough, the angels were out that night in the sky, and an especial meteor acted as escort, but all that was from other worlds, and not from this world. The earth made no demonstration of welcome. If one of the great princes of this world steps out at a depot, cheers resound, and the hands play, end tile flags wave. But for thq arrival o f this missionary prince of the skies noL a torch flared, not a trumpet blew; not a plume fluttered. All the music and the pomp were overhead. Our world opened for Him nothing better than a barn door. The rajah of Cashmere sent to Queen Victoria a bedstead of carved gold and a canopy that cost 8750,00, but the world had for the Prince of Heaven and earth only a litter of straw. The crown jewels in the tower of London amount to 815,000,000, but this member of eternal royalty had nowhere to lay His head. To know how poor He was, ask the eameF'driver, ask the shepherds, ask Mary,ask the three wise men of the east, who afterward came to Bethlehem. To know how poor He was, examine all the records of real estate in all (that oriental country, and see what vineyard,or what field He owned. Not one. Os what, mortgage was He the mortgagee? Os what tenement was He the landlord? Os what leaser was He the lessee? Who ever paid Him rent? Not owning the boat 'on which He sailed, or the beast on which He rode, or the pillow on which He slept. He had so little estate that in order to pay His tax lie had to perform a miracle, putting the amount of the assessment in a fish’s mouth and having it hauled ashore. And after His death the world rushed in* to take an inventory of His goods, and the entire aggregate was the garments He had worn, sleeping in them by night and traveling in them by day, bearing on them the dust of the highway and the saturation of the sea. St, Paul in my text hit the mark when he said of the missionary Prince: “For your sake He became poor. ” % The world could have treated Him better if it had chosen. It had all the means for making His earthly condition's cpmfortable. Only a few years before when Pompey, the general, arrived in Brindisi he was greeted with arches and a costly column which celebrated the 12,000,000 people whom he had killed or conquered,and he was allotted to tvear his triumphai robe in ''the senate. _ Tbe world had applause for imperial butchers, but buffeting for' the Prince of Peace. golden chalices for the favored to drink out of, but our Prince must put His lips to the bucket of the well by the roadside after He had begged for a drink? Born in another man's barn, and eating at another man’s table, and cruising the lake in another man’s fishing smack, and buried in another man’s tomb. Four inspired authors wrote His biography,and innumerable lives of Christ have been published, but He composed His autobiography in a most compressed way. lie said, “I have trodden the wine press alone.” Poor in the estim atioia of nearly all the prosperous classes. They called him Sabbath-breaker, wine-bibber, traitor, blasphemer, and ransacked the dictionary of opprobrium from cover to cover Jto express their detestation. 1 can think now of only two well-to-do men who. espoused his cause —Nicpdemus and Joseph oi Arimathea. His friends for -the most part were people who, in that climate where ophthalmia or inflammation of the eyeball sweeps ever and anon as a scourge, bad become blind, sick people who were anxious to get well, and troubled people in whose family there was someone dead or dying. If He had a purse at all it was empty, or we would have heard what the soldiers d'd with the {extents. Poor? The pigeon in the dove cqte, the rabbit in ita burrow, tlie silkworm in its cocoon, the beodn its hive, is better provided for, belter off,. Better sheltered. Aye, tire brute creation has a home on earth, -which Christ had not. A poet suysi

If on windy days the raven Gambol like a dancing sklQ. Not the HfsA be loves h'ls haven On the bosom of the cliff. - O'er the Alps the chamois roam. Yet he has some small dominion Which no doubt he calls his home, “ But the Crown Prince of all Heavenly dominions has less than"the raven, less than the chamois, for He was homeless. Aye, iu the history of tlie universe there is no other instance of such coming down. Who cau count the miles from the top of the throne to the bottom of the cross.? Cleopatra, giving a banquet to Antony, took a pearl worth a $190,000 and dissolved it in vinegar and swallowed it But when our Prince, according to the evangelist, in His last hours, took the vinegar, in it had been dissolved all the

pearls of His Heavenly royalty. Down until there was no other harrasament ■‘to-'riuffer, poor there was no other pauperism to torture. Billions of dollars spent in wars to destroy men, who will furnish the statistics of the value of tfckt-precioue- blond that was shed to save us? “Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor.” Only tliose who study this text in two places can fully realize its power, the Holy Land of Asia Minor and the holy land of Heaven. I wish that some day you might go to the Holy Land and take a drink oat of Jacob’s well, and take a sail -on Galilee,' and read the sermon of the Mount while standing on Olivet, and see the wilderness where Christ was tempted, and be some afternoon on Calvary at about three o’clock—the hour at which closed the crucifixion—and sit under the sycamores and by the side of brooks, and think and dream and pray about the proverty of Him who came our souls to save. But you may be denied that, and so h'ere, in another continent and in another hemisphere, and in scenes as different as possible, we recount, as well we may, how poor was our Heavenly Prince. BTit in the other holy land above we may all study the riches that He left behind when He started for earthly expedition. Come, let us bargain to meet each other at the door oi the Father’s mansion, or on the bank of the riveWjJust where it rolls from under the throne, or at the outside gate. Jesus got the contrast by exchanging that world for this; we will get it by exchanging this world for that. There and then you will understand more of the wonders of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, “though He was rich, yet for your sakes became poor.” Yes, grace, free grace, sovereign grace omnipotent 'grace! Among the thousands of words in the language there is no more queenly word. Itmeans free and unmerited kindnesss. My text has no monopoly of the word. One hundred and tweDty-nine times does the Bible eulogize grace. It is a door swung wide open to let into the pardon of God all the millions who chose to enter it. ) John Newton wrote; Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. That saved the wretch like me. Philip Doddridge put it into all hymnology when he wrote; Grace, ’tls a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heaven with the echo shall resound. And all the earth shall hear. One of John Bunyan’s great books is entitled “Grace Abounding." “It is all of grace that I am saved” has been on the lips of hundreds of dying Christians. The boy Sammy Was right when being examined for admission into church membership he ivas asked, “Whose work was your sal vatiou?” and he answered, “Part miue and part God’s.” Then the examiner asked, “What part did you do, Sammy?” and the answer was, “I opposed God all jl could, and He did the restl” Oh, the height of it, the breath of it-, the Grace of God! Mr. Fletcher having written .a. pamphlet that pleased the king, the king offered to compensate him, and Fletcher answered: “There is only one thing I want, and that is more grace." Yes, yes; for your sakes! It wUs not on a pleasure excursion that lie came, for it was all pain. It was not an astronomical exploration, for He know this world as well before He alighted us afterward. It was not becuse He was compelled to come, for Ho volunteered. It was not becausaMt was easy, for He knew that. It would be thorn, and spike, and hunger, and , thirst, and vociferation of angry mobs. “For your sakes!" To wipe away your tears, to for# give your wrongdoing, to companionship your loneliness, to soothe your sorrows, to sit with you by the Dewmade grave, to bind your wounds in the ugly battle with the world, and bring you home at last, kindling up the mists that fall on your dying vision with the sunlight of- a glorious morn. “For your sakesl” No; I will change that. Paul will not care and Christ will uot care if 1 change it, for 1 must get into the blessedness of the text myself, and so I say: “For our sakes!” For we all have our temptations and bereavements and conflicts. For our sakesl We who deserve for our sins to b expatriated into a world as much poorer than this as this earth is poorer than Heaveu. For our sakesl But what a frightful coming down to take us gloriously upl When Artaxerxes was hunting, Tirebazus, who was attending him, showed the king a rent in his garments, the king said: “How shall I menial it?” ‘.‘By 1 giving it to me,” said Tirebazus. Then the king gave him the robe, but commanded him never 'to wear it, as it would be inappropriate. But see the startliug aud comforting fact, while our Prince throws off the robe, lie not only allows us to wear it, but Compaandi us to wear it, and it will be-cc-m: ah'! for the poverties of our spiritual state v. cmiy pul 3TT tne splendors of Heavenly regalement. For our sakesl Oh, the personality of this religion! Not an abstraction, not an arch .under which t\;e walk to behold elaborate masonry, not an ice castle like that which the Empress Elizabeth of Russia over a hundred years ago ordered to be constructed, winter with its trowels of crystal cementing the huge blocks that had beeu quarried from the frozen rivers of the north, but opr Father's house, with the wide hearthcrackling a hearty welcome. A religion of Vainith, and inspiration, and light, and cheer; something we can take into’ our hearts, and homes, and business, and recreatibns,. and joys, aud sorrows. Not an unpanageahV) gift, like the galley presented to Ptolemy, whi.ch required 4,000 tneu to row, and the draught of water was So great that it could not come near the shore, but something yon can run up Any stream of annoyance, however shallow. Enrichment now, enrichment forever.

MORE BANKS FAIL. Three Institutions la St. Paul Close - DWWWi*KrXiKH St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 6.—The Germania, the Allemania and West Side banka, all doing business as slate banks, on Monday closed their doors, every one of them being literally pulled down bj their depositors. The failure of the Bank of Minnesota December 22 caused unrest in the community and depositor* withdrew their money from the three banks above to such an extent that they were forced to go to the wall because they bad not funds enough immediately in b&nd to meet the demands made upon them. Each of the three, however, is solvent, and'all of them will reorganise as soon as the machinery for thnt purpose can be put into use. The directors of the Germania met Monday evening and appointed a committee on reorganization. The bank paid off nearly $225,000 deposits in nine business days and kept on band and in reserve something over SIOO,OOO cash means, which show* the unreasonableness of the panic. The directors. After having weighed the mat* ter in ail its bearings, came unanimously to the conclusion that, however deplorable it might be, it became their duty, for the protection of all depositors and other creditors, j fi close the doors and to place the assets of the bank in charge of an assignee. The Allemania closed a few minutes before li o’clock with a crowd of depositors clamoring at the paying teller’s window for their money. The suspension is due to the large number of withdrawals Monday morning and the fact that most of the depositors withheld toeir deposits. The news of the suspension of the Germania precipitated the run, and with all the deposits being withheld and the fact that there was a steady withdrawal the Allemania could not stem the tide. The suspension of the West Side bank was due to that of the Allemacia, through which the former institution cleared. There was a considerable run on the three savings banks during the afternoon, but all gave depositors notice that they-must give 60 days’ notice before withdrawing funds. All are perfectly solvent, and the nction of Hie depositors was wholly due to the genernlly panicky feeling. The official statement of the Germania bank showed total resources of $1,625,708. $253,847 of this being in the building and $075,420 in loann and dis counts. Liabilities. $1*625.768, including $400,000 capital stock and $633,019 in time certificates of deposit. Deposits subject to check are $345,191. The total resources of the Allemnnia, according to their report of the same day. were $1,061,009 including $706,842 cf loans an.l discounts. Liabilities also $1,061,009. including cnpitnl stock of $400,000 nnd deposits of $329,789. The official statement of the West Side bank, made to the state bank examiner on December 17. is ns follows: Total a55et5,5217,014.17. Os thisslso,000 was in loans and discounts and $28.060 in real estate. The total deposits were $113,540. The furniture nnd fixtures represented $2,200, and bills rediscounted, $1,500. Devils Lake, N. D., Jan. s.—The Merchants’ national bank did not open its doors Monday morning. The notice posted was: “Bnnk closed awaiting the action of the comptroller.” A number of withdrew their money Satunltfc;, e .**!e county deposit of $4,500 would Jnbly have been called for during day. when the new treasurer charge. This, together with the prospect of a general run and the non-arrival of a train, owing to the blizzard, with additional currency from the east, probably caused the decision of Cashier Wem-ple not to open the doors. The last statement, December 17, showed deposits of $47,000, bills payable, $7,500. Discounts, stdeks and securities. $55,000. Cash, $12,500. Mason City, la., Jan. s.—The First city bank, of Nora Springs, bos failed. It was*a state bank, and the business conducted by the institution was small, and therefore there In not much importance attached to the failure. ExRepresentative M. E. lletterman, Samuel Spotts and T. E. Bryan were the owners of the bank.. The assignment was made to Bryan Cammidge, of this city. UNDER ARRESTMan and Bis Sister Charged with Killing "the Matter’s Husband.

Chicago, Jan. s.—Michael hienen and his sister, Mrs. John I.ienei., were arrested in West Hanunond, Lit, Monday charged with the murder of the woman's husband last Frkk.y night. The two men, although of the same name, had no blood relation. They were formerly partners in Hammond, Ind., in the, saloon business. John Lieneu, with his wife, moved to West Hammond several months ago and there opened a saloon. Last Saturday morning his body was found in the parlpr hf his pe with a bullet wound in the temple. evolver was lying the body and ii was supposed he had comii-.itteu suicide. An investigation, however, dej,eloped c theory qf murder and the liutTiorities have been working along that line. It was found that the murdered man wns hcii to an estate at Dwyer,..lit., valued At SIO,OOO, and that his brotehr-m-lan-, Michael Lienen, was the administrator. It is charged that the two now under arrest committed the murder in order to gain possession of this estate. FOREIGN PICKINGS. Copenhagen is to have an -elevated railroad running along the ahorefrem the city to the woods at Char lotten land. The jnotive power will be electricity or compressed air. y Sweden will send an expedition to Konjg Karl's Land, east of Spitsbergen, next summer, which will also explore the other Islands and the undiscovered region between Spitsbergen and Frans Josef Land. Last year’s rush to Spitzbergen shows that the difficulties ot such an'expedition are little nqore than those of a summer cruise.
