Wren apeak, sitting at the i : the hillside, and pert der the drone of the i , oral dream, and before him puss, as ta panorama, time and eternity. Among the strange things that he saw was an angel with a little book in hie hand, »nd In his dream the evangelist a iked for this littla book, and the angel gave it hi himfeud told him to eat it up. As in a dreart things are sometimes Incongruous, the evangelist took the little book and ate it tip. The angel told him beforehand that It. would be very sweet in the month, but afterward he wontd be troubled with indigestion. True enough the evangelist devoars the book, and it becomes to him a sweetness during mastication, but afterward a physical bitterness. Who the angel was and what the book was no one can tell. The commentators do not agree, and 1 shall take no respoa * aibility of Interpretation, hot will tell you that It suggests to me the little book of creeds, which skeptics take and chew up and And a very lusrtoas morsel to their witticism, but after awhile It Is to them a great distress. The angel of the church bends oat this little book of evangelism, and the antagonists of the Christian church take it and eat It up, and it makes them smile at Orst. but afterward It Is to them a dire dyspepsia.

■« All IntelMUMM people have creeds— that h, farorlte theories which they have adopted. Political weeds—that U, theerie# about tariff, finance, about civil sevloe, about government, Social creeds— that Is, theories about manners and customs, and good neighborhood. A5*thetlcal creeds—that is, theories about tapestry, about bric-a-brac, about style* of ornamentation. Religious crteds—that is, theories about the Deity, about the soul, about the great future. The only being who ha* nMrsed about any thing is the idlrt.^^This 'scofllag against creed* is always a sign of profound iguoranoe on the part of the sootier, for he ha* himself s, hundred creeds in regard to other things. In our times the beliefs of evangelistic churches are under a fusillade of caricature and misrepresentation. Men set np what they call orthodox faith, and then they rake it rlth the musketry of their denun iation. They falsify what the Christian churches believe. They take erangeli an doctrines and set them in a harsh and epulrive way, aad shut them out of the fissociation with other troths. They are ike a mad anatomist who, desiring to what a man is, dissect* a human body aflr Hangs up in one place the h eart, and in another place the two lung*, and in another place an ankle bone, and say* that is a man. They are only fragments of a mar wrenched out of their God-ap-poll ted places. Evangelical religion is a healthy, symmetrical, well-jointed, roseate, bounding life, and the scalpel and the dissecting knlfu of the infidel or the atheist can not tell you what it Is. Evangelical religion f* a> different from what It is represented to br by these enemies as the scarecrow which a farmer puts in the cornfield to keep off the ravens is different from the fanner himself. Tor instance these enemies o|! evangelism say that the Presbyterian Church believes that Clod is a savage sovereign. and that He made some men to damn them, and that there ere infants in hell a span long. These old slander* come down from generation to generation. The Presbyte Han church believe* no each thing. The Presbyterian church believes that 4 Cod is a loving and just sovereign, and that we are free agents. ‘‘No, no, that can not be,” say these men who have chewed up the creed and have the consequent embittered stomach*. “That is impossible. if Hod is a sovereign vre can’t be free agents.” Why, my friend, we admit this in every other direction. I, D* Witt Talmage, am a free eitlsen of Brooklyn. I go when I please ami I come when I please, but I.have at least four sovereigns. The church court of our denomination; that is my eccleslastioal sovereign. The mayor of thi* city; he i* my municipal sovereign. The Governor of New York; he is my Slate sovereign. The President of the United States; he is my National sovereign. Pour sovereigns have 1, and yet in every faculty of body, mind and eonl I am a free man. So. you see, it It possible that the two doctrines go side by side, and there is a common-sense way of presenting it, and there la a tray that is repel*ire. If yon have the two doctrines in a worldly direction, why not in a religions “direction? If I choose tomorrow morning to walk into the Mercantile Library and improve * my mind, or to go through the „ conservatory of my friend from Jamaica, who has flowers from all lands growing under the arches,of glass, and who has an aquarium ail a squirm with trout and gold fish, and there are trees bearing oranges and bananas—if I wanted to go there 1 could, i am free to go. Ii 1 want to go over to Hoboken and leap into the furnace of ail oil factory; if I want to jump from the platform of a Philadelphia express train; if I want to leap from th* Brooklyn Bridge, I may. But suppose 1 should go to-morrow and leap into the furnace at Hoboken, who would be to bla me? 'That is all there is about sovereignty and free agency. Ood rules and reigns^md He ha* conservatories and He has blast furnaces. If you want to wall in the gardens, walk there. If you want to leap in tihe furnace you may.

So ppM«, now, a man had a charmed her with which he could open all the jails, and he should open Raymond Street jail and the See York Tombs, and all -Ihe prisons on the continent. In three 'reeks what kind of a country would this hi? All the inmates turned out of these prisons and penitentiaries. Suppose all the reprobates, the bad spirits, the outrageous spirits, should he turned into the Sew Jerusalem! Why, the next morning the gatrs of pearl would be found off the hinge, the linchpin would be gone out of alhnriat wheels, the ‘house of vowM h( burglarand battery, arson. reside m the capital of the sk*». Angels of (rod would be insulted on the street. He*ran would be a deed failure if there

And as to mere “temporary emotion,’’ 1 of the wish wa all had more of the n*’ which lasted BtsHo rary hop JaHet ddd half eetuttfy, Simpson Mr ft_I keeping them on fire for God until their holy vntktlllasm consumed their bodies. Bo nil the evangelical denominations are misrepresented. And then these enemies of evangelism no on and hold up the great doctrines of Christian churches as absurd, dry and inexplicable technic alitles, ‘There to yortr doctrine of the Trinity,** they Sayl "absurd beyond all Moods. The Idea that there .to a God In three persons! impossible, it it to One God He can’t be three, and If thef* are three they can’t be One.” At the same time all Of us—they, with ns—acknowledge trinities aii around ns. Trinity in our own make-up—body, mind, soul. Body with which we move, mind with which we think, soul with which we love. Three, yet one man. Trinity in the airtight, beat, moisture—yet One Atmos* phere. Trinity in' the court-rdom— three judges of the bench, but one court. Trinities all around about us, irantettt and in nature. Gf cour se. govei the il around about us, in earthly ttatUVe. Of course, aU illustrations are'defective, for the reason that the natural can not fully illustrate the spiritual. But suppose an ignorant man should come up to a chemist and say: “I deny what yun say about the water and the air; they are not made of different parta. The air to one| 1 breathe it every day. The water to onet t-drink It every day. You can’t deceive me about the elements that ffo to make up the air and the water.** The chemist would say:

-you come op into my laboratory ana i will demonstrate tills wbdle thing to you." The ignoraut roi\n goe* Into the chemist's laboratory, and see* forhlmsel f. Re learn* that the water is one and the air is one, but they are made tip of different parts. Ho here is a man who says: "1 can’t understand the doctrine of the Trinity.” Qod says: “Yon come up here into the laboratory after death, and you will see—you will see it explained, yon trill see It demonstrated." The ignorant man call not understand the chemistry of the water and the air until he goes into the laboratory, and-he will nerer understand the Trinity nntil we go tnto Heaven. The ignorance of the man who can not understand the chemistry of the air and water does not change the fact in regard to the composition of air and water. Because we can not understand the Trinity, does that change the fact?” "And there Is year absurd doctrine about justification by faith," say these antagonists who hare chewed up the little book of evangelism, and have the consequent embittered stomach—"justification by faith; you can’t exjdaia it.” I can explain it. It is simply this: When a man takes the Lord Jesus Christas his Saviour from am, Ood lets the offender off. Just as you have a difference with some one. he has injured yon, he apologizes, or he makes reparation, yon say: “.Vow, that’s ail right, that’s all right.” Justification by faith is this: A man takas Jesus Christ as his Saviour, and Ood says to the man: “Sow. it was all wrong before, but It is all right now: it is all right." That was what made Martin Luther what he was. Justification by faith, it Is going to conquer all nations. - "There is your absurd doctrine about regeneration," these antagonists of evangelism say. What is regeneration! Any body can understand that. Have you not «eeu people who are all made over again by some wonderful influence! In other words, they are just as different now from what they used to be as possible. The old Constellation, man-of-war, lay down here nt the Brooklyn V*vyYard. Famine came to Ireland. The old Constellation was fitted up, and though it had been carrying gunpowder and bullets, it took bread to Ireland. You remember the enthusiasm as the old Constellation went out of our harbor, and with what joy it was greeted by the famishing nation on the other side of the sea. That is regeneration. A man loaded np with sin and death loaded np with life. Refitted. Your observation has been very smalt, indeed, if yon have not aeen changes In character as radical as that A man came Into this church one night and he was intoxicated, and at an utterance of the pnlpit he said in a subdued tone: “That’s a lie.” An officer of the church tapped him on the shonlder and said: “Yon must be silent or yon most go out," The next night that stranger came and he was converted to Ood. He was in the liquor business. The next day he sent back the Samples that had just been sent him. He began to love that which he hated. 1 baptised him by immersion in the baptistry unde.r this platform. A large salary was offered him if he would return to his formfir business. He declined it. He would rather suffer with Jesus Christ than be prospered in the world. He wrote home a letter to his Christian mother. The Christian mother wrote back congratulating him, and said: “If in the change of your business you have lack of means, come home; you are always welcome home." He told of his conversion to a dissolute cam panion. The dissolute companion said: “Well, if yon have become a Christian, yon had better go over and talk to that dying girt. She is dying with quick consumption in that house.” The new convert went there. All the surroundings were dissolute. He told the dying girl that Jesus would save her. “Oh,’? said she, “gfcat can’t be, that can’t be. What makes you think so!” “I have it here in a book in my pocket,” he replied. He pulled out a Mew Testament. She said: “Show it to me, if I can be saved, show it to me In that book. He said: “1 have neglected this book as yon have neglected it for many years, and I don't know where to find it, but I know

it IS somewhere between the lid*.” Then he began to torn om the leaves, and strange and beautiful to say, his eye struck upon this passage: ‘ Neither do 1 condemn thee; go aud sin no more.*’ She said: “It isn’t possible that i* there!” “Tea,” he said, “that is there.” He held it up before her dying eyes, and she said: “Oh, yes, I see it for myself: Threept the promise; ‘neitherdo I condemn thee; go and sin no more.* ” In a few hoars her spirit sped away to the Lord that gave it, and the new convert preached the funeral sermon. The man who a few days before had been a blasphemer and a drunkard and a hater of all that eras good, be preached the sermon. That is regeneration, that is regeneration. If there are any dry husks of technicality in that, where are they! All made over again by the power of the grace of God. A few years ago a ship captain came in here and sat yonder under the gallery. He came in with a contempt for the Church of Ood and with an especial dislike for Talmage. When an opportunity was given, he arose for prayer, and as he was more than six foet high, when he ar=30 far prayer, no one doubted Oat he arose. That hour he became a Christian. He went out and'told the ship owners and the ship commanders what n great change had been wrought in hilt, and scores and scores have beea bront'Ut to God through his instrumentality. A little while after his conversion he was on ship off Cape Hatteras in n thick and prolonged fog, and they were at their wits’ ends and knew not what to do, the r

Iiet «v’ef» ntan suffer for himself: What do 1 want Christ M suffer for met 1*11 suffer for myself. I’ll carry my own burdens." They scoff at the idea of vicarious sacrifice, while they admlr* it everywhere else exoept tu Christ People see its beauty when a mother suffers for her child.

She was t#ry reticent and retired in her habits, and she formed no companionship in tile neW position she occupied, and her dress Was vory plain—sometimes it was very shabby. After awhile she was discharged from the place for that reason, bat no reason was given. In answer to the letter discharging her from the position she said: “Well, if 1 hare failed to please, I suppose it U my own fault.” She went here and there for emplo0nent bat found none, and in desperation and dementia she ended her life by suicide.

People found it out, and there was a large gathering at the funeral, the largest ever at any funeral in that place ; and the very people who hod scoffed came and looked upon the pale face of the martyr, and all honor was done her; but it was too late. Vicarious sacrifice. All are thrilled with such instances as that But many are not moved by the fact that Christ paid His poverty for our richss, His self-abnega-tion for our enthronement, and kpelt ou the sharp edges of humiliati ou that we might climb over His lacerated shoulder into peace and Heaven. Be it ours to admire and adore these doctrines at which others jeer. Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable is HU wisdom, and HU ways are past Hading out! Oh, the height, the depth, the length, the breadth, the infinity, the immensity, ths ete rnity of that love! Let our earnest prayers go out in behalf of all these who scoff at these doctrines of grace. When the London plague was raging, in tne year 188S, there was a hotel near the chief burial place that excited much comment. England was in fright and bereavement The dead carts went through the streets day and night, and the cry: "Bring out the dead!” was answered by the bringing out of the forms of the loved ones, and they were put twenty or thirty in. a cart, and the wagons went on to the cemetery, and these dead were not buried in graves, but in great trenches, in great pits, in one pit eleven hundred and fourteen burials. The carts would come up wilh their great burden of twenty or thirty to the m rath of the pit, and the front of the cart was lifted and the dead shot intoi.be pit. All the chnrches in London were open for prayer day and night, and England was in a great anguish. At that very time, at a hotel, at a wayside inn near the chief burnt place, there was a group ot bard- * ened men. who sat day after day and night after night blaspheming God and imitating the grief-struck who went by to the burial place. These men sat there day after day and night after night, and they scoffed at men. and they scoffed at God. But after awhile one of them was struck with the plague, and in two weeks all ot the group mere down in the trench, from the margin of which they had uttered their ribaldry. My friends, a greater plague is abroad in the world. Millions have died of in Millions an ■mitten with it now. Plague ot sin, plague of sorrow, plague of wretchedness, plague of woe. Jfcd consecrated women and mien from all Christendom are going out trying to atay the plague and alleviate the anguish, and there is a group of men in this country base enough to sit and deride tlte work. They scoff at the Bible, and they scoff at evangelism, and they scoff at Jesus Christ, and they scoff at God. If these words shall reach them, either while they are sitting here to-day, or through the printing-press, let me tell them to remember the fate of that group in the waysiide inn while the plague spread its two hla^g wings orer the doomed city of London. Oh, instead of being scoffers let ns he disciples t "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sin ners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scorafmL"

Perhaps it may, but not so quickly as water. Some men’s thirst is so hard to quen<$ with beer that they swallow ten glasses inside of an hour, whereas one pint of water will satisfy a plain, ordinary, every-day thirst for eight or ten hours at • time. The heroine of a story now running m a Southern paper is made to say: “I will uo the washing this time, mother, for it is the greatest of delights in me.” This is a wide departure from the realistic in fiction; in fac t, it reaches the pinnacle of the idea at a bound. As a work of imagination the story will take high rank. RIPE OLD AGE.
