THE HEALING ART. Sermon by Rev. T. DeWitt Tidmage in Brooklyn. Physical and Spiritual Maladies Castpared—Christ the Great Physician of the Soul Wheat Remedies' lirifljf life Eternal. JTho following discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn Academy of Music from the text: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deal hear.—Matthew IL 5, “Doctor,” I said to a distinguished surgeon, “dp you not get worn out with constantly seeing so many wounds and broken bones and distortions of Ihe human body?" f*Oh, no,” he answered, “all that is overcome by my joy in curing them.” A sublimer or more merciful art never came down from Heaven than the art of surgery. Catastrophe and disease entered the earth so early that one of thofirst wa nts of the world was a doctor. Our crippled and agonized human race called for surgeon and family physician for many years before they came. The first surgeons who answered this call were ministers of religion, namely, the Egyptian priests. And what a grand thing if all clergymen were also doctors, all D. D.’s wore M. D.’s, for there are so many cases where body and soul need treatment at. the same time, consolation? and medicine, theology and therapeutics. As the first surgeons of the world were also ministers of religion, may these two professions always be in full sympathy!

liut under what disadvantages the carl; surgeons worked, from the fact that the dissection of the human body was forbidden, first by the pagans and then by the early Christians! Apes, being she brutes most like the human race, were dissected, but no human body might he unfolded for physiological and anatomical exploration and too surgeons had to guess what was inside the temple by looking at the outside of it. If they failed in any surgical operation they were persecuted and driven out of the city, as was Arcjiagathus because of his bold but unsuccessful attempt to save a patient But the world from the very beginning kept calling for surgeons, and their first skill is spoken of in Genesis, where they employed their art for the incisions of a sacred rite, God making surgery the predecessor of baptism; and we see it again in IL Kings, where Ahaziah, the monarch, stepped on some cracked lattice-work in the palace, and it broke, and he fell from the upper to the lower floor, and he was so hurt that he sent to the village of Ekron for aid; and Esculapius, who wrought such wonders of surgery that he wa3 deified, and temples were built for his worship at Pergamos; and Epidaurua and Pondelirius introduced for the relief of the world phlebotomy; and Damccedes cured the dislocated ankle of King Darius, and the cancer of his Queen; and Hippocrates put successful hand on fractures, and introduced amputation; and Praxagoras removed obstructions; and Herophilus begun dissection; and Erasistratus removed tumors; and Celsus, the Roman surgeon, removed cataract from the eye, and used the Spanish fly; and Ileliodorus arrested disease of the throat; and Alexander, of Tralles, treated the eye; and Khazas cauterized, for the prevention of. hydrophobia; and Poreival Pott came to combat diseases of the spine; and in our own century we have had a Roux and a Laray in France, and Astley Cooper-and an Abemeithy in Great Britain, and a Valentine Mott and IVillanl Parker and Samuel D. Gross in America, and. a galaxy of living surgeons as brilliant as their predecessors. What might progress in the baffling of disease since the crippled ^pd sick of ancient cities wero laid along the streets, that people who had ever been hurt or disordered in the same way might suggest what had better be done for the patients; and the priests of old time, who.were constantly suffering from colds received in walking barefoot o\er the temple pavements, had to prescrilie for themselves, and fractures wero considered so far beyond all human cure that instead of calling in the surgeons the people only invoked the gods! But notwithstanding all the surgical and medical skill of the world, with what tenacity the old diseases hang on to the human race, and most of them arc thousands of yeai-s old, and in our Bibles we read of them; the carbuncles of Job and Hczekiah; the palpitation of the heart spoken of in Deuteronomy; the sun-stroke of a child carried from the fields of Shuncm, crying: ‘My head! my head!” King Asa’s disease of tho feet, which was nothing but gout;; defection of teeth, that called for dental surgery, the skill of which, quite eq ual to any thing modern, is still seer. in. the filled molars of the unrolled Egyptian mnmmies;the ophthalmia caused by the juice of the newly ripe fig, leaving the people blind at the roadside; epilepsy, as in the case of the young man. often falling into the fire, and oft into the water; hypochondria, as of Nebuchadnezzar, who imagined himself an ox, and going out to the fields to pasture; the withered band, which in Bible times, as now, came from the destruction of the main artery, or from paraly - sis of the chief nerve; the wounds of the men whom the thieves left for dead, on tho road to Jericho, and whom, the good .Samaritan nursed, pouring in oil and wine—wine to cleanse the wound, and oil to soothe it. Thank God for what surgery has done for the alleviation and care of human suffering. - But the world wanted a surgery without pain. Drs. Pane and Hickman and Simpson and Warner and Jackson, with their amazing genius, came on,and with their anaesthetics benumbed the patient with narcotics and ethers as the ancients did with hasheesh and mandrake, and quieted him for awhile,but at the return of cousciousness distress returned. The world has never seen but one surgeon who <*mld straighten the crooked li mb, cure the blind eye, or reconstruct the drum bf a soundless car, or reduce a dropsy, without any pain at the time, or any pstn after, and that surgeon was Jesus Christ, the mightiest, grandest, gentlest and most sympathetic surgeon the world ever saw, or ever will sect; and He deserves the confidence and love, and, worship and hosanna of aU the eaistk, and hallelujahs of all Heaven. ‘•The blind receive their sierht. and tho

lame walk; the lepers are cleaned and the deaf hear.” I notice this Surgeon had a fondness for chronic cases. Many a surgeon, when he has bad a patient brought to him, has said; “Why was not this a ttended to live years ago? You bring him to me after ail power ’of recu|*rtition is gone? You hare waited untiil there i3 a complete contraction o:' the muscles, and false ligatures are formed, and ossiiication bast taken place It ought to hare been attended to long ago,” But Christ, the Surgeon, seemed to prefer inveterate cases. One vras a hemorrhage of twelve years, and He stoppedit Another was a curvature of eighteen years, and He straightened it Another was a cripple of thirtyeight “ years, and he walked ot t well The eighteen-year patient was a woman bent almost doiblei. ^f yoa could call a convention of all the surgeons of all the centuries, their combing ffui* ft*

body so drawn ont of shape Perhaps they might stop it from getting any worse, perhaps they might contrive braces by which she might be made* more comfortable, bat it is, humanly speaking, incurable. Yet this Divine Surgeon pnt both His hands cn her, and from that doubled-up posture she began to rise, and the empurpled face began to take on a healthier hue, and the muscles began to relax from their rigid* ity, and the spinal column began to adjust itself, and the cords of the neck began to be supple, and the eyes, that could only S8e the ground before, now looked up into the face of Christ with gratitude, and up toward Heaven in transport. Straight! After eighteen weary and exhaustive yearsj straight! The poise, the gracefulness, the beauty of healthy womanhood reinstated. The thirty*eight years’ case was a man who lay on a mattress near the mineral baths at Jerusalem. There were five apartments where lame people were brought so that they could pet the advantage of the mineral baths. The stone basin of the bath is still visible, although the waters havo disappeared, probably through some convulsion of nature, the bath, one hundred and twenty feet long, forty feet wide and eight feet deep. Ah, poor man; if you have been lame and helpless thir-ty-eight years, that mineral bath can not restore. But Christ, the Surgeon, walks along these baths, and I have no doubt passes by some patients who have been only sixv months disordered, or a year, or five years, and comes to the mattress of the man who had been nearly four decades helpless, and to this thir-ty-eight years’ invalid said: “Wilt thou be made whole?”;

x no question assea, not Dccause me Surgeon did not understand, the protractedness, the desperateness of the case, but to evoke the man’s pathetic narrative. “Wilt thou bo made whole?” “Would you like to get well?” “Oh yes,” says the man, “that is what I came to these mineral baths for; I have tried every thing. All the surgeons have failed, and all the prescriptions have proved valueless, and I have got worse and worse, and I can neither move hand or foot or head. Oh, if I could only be free from pain of thirtyeight years:” Christ, the Surgeon, could not stand that. Bending 'over the man on the mattress, and in a voice tender with all sympathy but strong with all omnipotence, He says; “Rise!” And the invalid instantly scrambles to his knees, and then puts out his right foot, then his left foot, and then stood upright as though he had never been prostrated. While he stands looking at the Doctor with a joy too much to hold, the Do tor says: “Shoulder this mattress! for you are not only well enough to walk, but well enough to work, and start out from these mineral baths. Take up thy bed anl walk!” Oh, what a Sugeon for chronic cases then, and for chronic cases now! This is not applicable so much to those who are only a little hurt of sin," and only for a short time, but to those prostrated of sin twelve years, eighteen years, thirty-eight years. Hero is a Surgeon able to give immortal health. “Oh,” you say, “I am so completely overthrown and trampled down of sin that I can not rise.” Are you flatter down than this patient at the mineral baths? No. Then rise. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, the Surgeon who offers; llisTrigat hand of help, I bid thee rise. Not cases of acute sin, but of chronic sin—those who have not prayed for thirty-eight years, those who have not heen to church for thirtyeight years, those who have been gamblers, or^ibertinos, or thieves, or outlaws. or Blasphemers, or infidels, or atheists, or all those together, for thirtyeight years. A Christ for exigencies. A Christ for a dead-lift! A Surgeon who never loses a case! a In speaking of Christ as a Surgeon, I must ccnsider Him as an oculist, or eye doctor, and an auoist, or ear doctor. Was there ever suoh another oculist? That He was particularly sorry lor the blind folks, I take from the fact that the most of His work was with the diseased optic nerves. I have not time to count up the number of blind people mentioned who got His cure. Two blind men in one house, also one who wan born blind; so that it was not removal of a visual obstruction, but the creation of the cornea, and ciliary muscle, and crystaline lens, and retina, and optic nerve, and tear gland; and the blind man of Betbsaida, cured by the saliva which the Surgeon took from the tip of His own tongue and put upon the eyelids; also two blind men who sat by the wayside. In our eivilized lands we have blindness enough, the ratio fearfully increasing, according to the statement of Boston and New7 York and Philadelphia oculists, because of the reading of morning and evening newspapers on the jolting cars by the multitudes who live out of the city and come in to business. But in the lands where this, Divine Surgeon operated, the cases of blindness were multiplied beyond every thing by tbe particles of sand floating in the air, and the night dews falling on tbe eyelids of those who slept on the top of their houses: and in some of these lands it is estimated that twenty out of a hundred people are totally blind. Amid all that crowd of visionless people, what work for an oculist! And I do not believe that more than one out of a hundred of that Surgeon’s cures were reported. He went up and down among those people who where feeling slowly their way by staff, or led by the hand of man or rope of dog, and introducing them to the faces of their own household, to the sunrise and the sunset art! the evening star. He just ran His hand over the expressionless face and the shutters of both windows were swung open, and the restored went home, .crying: “I see! I see! Thank God, I sear That'is the oculist we all need. TiU He touches our eyes we are blind. Yea, we are born blind. By nature we see things wrong if we see them at all. Our best eternal interests are put before us and we can not see them. The glories of a loving and pardoning Christ are projected, and we do not behold them. Or we have a defective sight which makes.tbe things of this world larger than tbe things of tbe fiiture, time bigger than eternity. Or we are color-blind and can not see tbe difference between the blackness and darkness forever and the roseate

morning of an everlasting day. But Christ the Surgeon comes in, and though we shrink back afraid to have Him touch U3, yet He ^>uts His fingers on the closed eyelids of the soul, and midnight becomes midnoon; and we *nderstand something of .the Joy of the young man of the Bible,' who, though he had never before been able to see his hand before his face, now, by the touch of Christ, had two bead-lights kindled under bis brow, cried out in language that confounded the jeering crowd who were deriding the Christ that had effected the cure, and wanted to make Him out a bad man: “Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not; one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.” But this Surgeon was just as wonderful as an aurist Very few people have two good ears. Nine out of ten people are particular to get on this or that side of you when they sit or walk with you, because they have one disabled ear. Many have both ears damaged, and what wttk tke wnatuut racket o| our

groat cities, and the catarrhal troubles that sweep through the laul, it is remarkable that there are any good ears at all. Most wonderful instrument is the human ear. It is harp and drum and telegraph and telephone and Whispering gallery all in one. So delicate and wondrous is its Construction that the most difficult of all things to reconstruct is the auditory apparatus. The mightiest of scientists hate put their skill to its retuning, and sometimes they stop the progress of its decadence, or remote temporary obstructions, but not more than one really deaf ear out of a thousand is eyer cured. It took God to make the ear, and it takes a God to mend it. That makes me curious to see how Christ the Surgeon'succeeds as an aurist. ^ We are told of only two cases He operated on as ear surgeon. His friend Peter, naturally high-tempered, saw Christ insulted by a man by the name of Malchus, and Peter let his sword fly, aiming at the man's head, but the sword slipped and hewed off the oiitside eaf, and our Surgeon touched the lucer-. ration and another ear bloomed in the place of the one that had heed slashed away. But it is not the outside eaf that hears. That is only a funnel for gathering sonnd and pouring it into the hidden and more elaborate ear. On the beach of Lake Galilee our Surgeon found a man deaf and dumb. The patient tfWelt in perpetual silence and was speechless. He could not hear a note of music or a clap of thunder. He could not call father or mother or wifoor children by name. What power can waken that dull tympanum or reach that chain

oi smau nones or revive mat auditory nerve Or open' the gate between the brain and the outside world? The Surgeon put His fingers in the deaf ears and agitated them, and kept on agitating them until the vibration gave vital energy to all the dead parts, and they responded, and when onr Surgeon withdrew Ilis fingers from the oars the two tunnels of sound were clear for all sweet voices, of music and friendship. For the first time in hi3 life he heard the dash of the waves of Galilee. But what were the Surgeon's fees for all these cures of eyes and ears, and tongues, and withered hands and crooked backs? The skill and painlessness of the operations were worth hundreds and thousands of dollars. Do not think that the cases He took were all moneyless. Did H$ not treat the nobleman’s son? Did He not effect a cure in the house of a centurion of great wealth, who had out of his own pocket built a synagogue? They would have paid Him large fees if He had demanded them, and there were hundreds of wealthy people in Jerusalem, and among the merchant castles along Lake Tiberias, who would have given this Surgeon houses and lands and all they had for such cures as He could effect. For critical cases in our time great surgeons have received one thousand dollars, five thousand dollars, and, in one case 1 know of, fifty thousand dollars, but the Surgeon of whom 1 speak received not a shekel, not a penny, not a farthing. In Ilis whole earthly life we know of His having had but sixty-two and a "half cents. When Ills taxes were due, by His omniscience, He knew of a fish in the sea which had swallowed a piece of silver money, as fish are apt to swallow any ibing bright, and he sent Peter with a hook which brought up that fish, and from its month was extracted a Homan stater, or sixtytwo and a half cents, the only money He ever had; and that He paid out for taxes. This greatest Surgeon of all the centuries gave all His services then, and offers all His services now, free of all charges. “Without money and without price” you may spiritually have your blind eyes opened, and your deaf ears unbarred, and your dumb tongues loosened, and your wounds healed, and your sovl saved. If Christian people get hurt of body, mind or soul, let them remember that surgery is apt to hurt, but it cures, and you can afford present pain for futuro glory. Besides that, there are powerful anaesthetics in theDivino promises that.soothe and alleviate. No ether or chloroform or cocaine ever made one so superior to distress as a few drop3 of that magnificent anodyne: “All things work together for good to those who love God;” “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” What a grand thing for our poor human race when this Surgeon shall have completed the treatment of all the world’s wounds! - The day will come when there will be no more hospitals, for there will he no sick, and no more eyfe and ear infirmaries, for there will be no more blind or deaf, and no more deserts, for the round earth shall he brought under arboriculture, and no more blizzards or sunstrokes, for the atmosphere will be ^expurgated of scorch and chillf and no more war for the swords shall come out of the foundry bent into pruning-hooks. While in the Heavenly country we shall sec those who were the victims of accident or malformation, or hereditary ills on earth, become the athletes in Elysian fields. Who is that man with such brilliant eyes close before the throne? 'Why, that is the man who, near Jericho, was blind, and' our Surgeon cured his ophthalmia! Who is that erect and graceful and queenly woman before the throne? That was the one whom our Surgeon found bent almost double, and pould in no wise lift ud herself, and He made her straight. Who is that listening with such rapture to the music of Heaven, solo melting into chorus, cymbal responding to trumpet,- and then hi’useil joining in the anthem? Why, that is thb man whom our Surgeon found deaf ar>d dumb on the bench of Galilee, and by two touches opened e-.r-gate and mouth-gate. Who is that around whom the crowds are gathering with admiring look and thanksgiving, and cries of “Oh. what He did for me! Oh, what He did for my family! Oh, wbat He did for the world!” That is the Surgeon of all the centuries, the oculist, the aurist, the emancipator, the Saviour. No pay He took, on ear th. Come.now, and let all Heaven Him pay with worship that shall never end, and a love th at shall never die. On His head he all the crowns! In His hands be all the scepters! and at His feet be all the worlds!

Don’t Worry and Fret. Men worry and women tret A?frotting- man is unusual, and a woman who wears herself out with worry unaccompanied with fretting is not common. Both are manifestations of a common failing, however, and fretting is only worse so far as it compels others to share the victim's unhappiness It is a trite saying that fret and worry kill more people than hard work, and very many men and women realizing the truth of this have gone successfully to work to conquer the miserable habit It is harder to do this where the tendency is inherited, but It can be done, and where it is an acquired habit the task is essy tor a determined Bpirit The way to stop is to stop.—Good Housekeeping.

Also the sufferer from catarrh, with his sore tender and exuding nostrils, if told catarrh was but a symptom.

T(^u Spring Fahce. One of the most noteworthy events is the South during the year 1800 will be the holding of the famous Texas Spring Palace at Fort. Worth, which opens on May 10 and closes with the ending of the-month. “Texas ata glance” is the expression often used in connection with this palace, and it is very expressive and comprehensive, as the palace displays to great advantage all the resources of the “Lone Star State.” The past, twelve months have been the most remarkable in the history of development in Texas. Unknown counties have been peopled and new towns and cities have spr. ng up almost in a day. Great railway systems have been extended, rich and vast deposits of iron and ooal uncovered and worked, and new and immense industries established. All the railroads entering the city have made greatly reduced rates, good for thirty days. For further information address B.B. Paddock, Fresident,Fort Worth,Texas.
