Christ did not ask john to put his head .down on hie bosom; john ovuld not help but pet his head there, I suppose a look at Christ e . t was just to love him. How attractive his manner! Why, when they saw Christ coming along the street they ran into their houses, and they wrapped up their invalids as quick as they could and brought them out that Re might look at them. Oh, there was something so pleas- ant, so inviting, so cheering iu everything He did, in His very look, When these sick ones were brought out did He say, Do not bring me these sores ; do not trouble me with these leprosies?" No, no ; there was a kind look, there was a gentle word, there was a healing tough. i Theyey could not keep away Hnn. from In addition to this softness of character there was a fiery momentum. How the kings of the earth turned pale. Here is a plain man with a few sailors at his back, coming off the Sea of Galilee, going up to the palaces of the Cameral making that palace quake to the foundations and uttering a word of mercy and kindness which throbs through. all the earth, and through all the heavens, and through all ages. Qh, He is a loving Christ. But it was not effeminacy or insipidity of char- acter , it was accompaniedaniedvnth majesty, , infinite and omnipotent, Lest the world should not realize His earnestness, this Christ mounts the cross. You say. "If Christ has to die, why not let Him take some deadly potion and lie on a couch in some bright and beautiful home? If He must die, let Him expire amid all kindly attentions." No, the The singing Prisoners in the Pblllppian Dungeon -The Thrilling Promise of Salvation to the Frightened J nailer A Promise or Salvation for All Agee,. Rev, Dr. Talmage, who is still abeeet in the South Pacific, has selected as subject of to -day's sermon through the press, "The Rescue," the text chosen be- tng Aets 16:31— (Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved," dark, duly damp, loathsome Jails are da , , places even now, but they were worse in the apostolic times. I imagine to -day we are standingin the Philippian dungeon. Do you notfeelthe chill? Do You not hear the groans of those incarcerated ones who for ten years have not seen the sun- light, and the deep sigh of women who. remennbe t mourn father'shouse and ' at • irf i their over their wasted estates? Listen again. It is the cough of a consumptive, or the struggle of one in the nightmare of great horror. You listen again and hear a cul - as he rolls over rattling ' chains g 5 cul- prit,. 1 in Iris dreams, and you say "God pity the prisoner." But there is another sound in that prison. It is the sons of joy and gladness. What a placeto sing in! The music comes winding through the corri- dors of the prison, amain all the dark wards the whisper is ' heard : "What's that? What's that?" It is the song of Paul and Silas. They cannot sleep. They h,, e been whipped, very badly whipped. The long gashes on their backs are blctding yet. They lay fiat on the cold grated, their feet fast -rid of course they can sing. Jailer, ith these people? tit in here? Oh, One farthing? Less than that. "With- out money or without price." No money to pay. No journey to take, No pre once to suffer, Only just one decisive action of the soul: `Believe on the Lord It serav saved." Jesus Christ and thoushe To be saved is to wake up in the pres- ence of Christ, Lou know when Jesus was upon the earth how happy he made every house he went into, and when he brings us up to his house in heaven how great shall be our glee. His voioe has more music in it than is to be heard in all the oratorios of eternity, Talk not about banks dashed with efflorescence.. Jesus is the chief bloom of heaven; We shall see the very face that beamed sym- pathy in Bethany, and take the very hand that dropped its blood from the went to of I rocs Oh I wan tec beans the , short stand in eternity with Him. Toward that harbor I steer. Toward that goal I run. I shall be satisfied when I awake in His likeness, Shall I try to tell you what it is to be saved? I cannot tell you. No man, no angel eau tell you. But I can hint at it. For my text brings me up to this point, � a It means ns "ThouI shalt be saved happy life.herei and a peaceful death and a blissful eternity. It is a grand thing to go to sleep at night and to get up in the morning1 business al day and to do feeling that all is right between my heart and God. No accident, no sickness, no persecution, no peril, no sword, can do me any permanent damage. I am a for- given child of God, and he is bound to see me through. He has sworn he will see me through, The . mountains may depart, the earth. may burn, the light of the stars may be blown out by the blast of the judgment hurrieane, but life and death, things present and things to come, are mine. Yea, further than that, it means a peaceful death. Mrs. Hemans, Mrs. Sigourney, Dr. Young and almost all the poets have said handsome things about death. There is nothing beautiful about it. When we stand by the white and rigid features of those whom we love, and they give no answering pressure of the hand and no returning kiss of the lip, we do not want anybody poetizing around d about us. Death is loathsomeness, an midnight and the wringing of the heart until the . tendrils snap and curl in the torture, unless Christ shall be with us. I confess to you an infinite fear, a consum- ing horror of death, unless Christ shall be -with me. I would rather go down into a cave of wild beastsor a jungle of reptiles than into the grave, unless Christ goes with me. Will yon tell me that I am to be carried out from my bright home and put away in the darkness. I cannot bear darkness. At the first com- ing of the evening I must have the gas lighted, and the farther on in life I get the more I like to have my friends round about me. Someone went into a house where there had been a good deal of trouble, and said to the woman there, "You seem to be lonely." "Yes," she said, "I am lonely." "How many in the family?" "Only my- self." "Have you had any children?" "I had seven children." "Where are they ?" "Gone." „All gone ?" "All." "All dead?" "All." Then she breathed a long sigh into the loneliness, and said, "Oh, sir, I have been a good mother to the grave." And so there are hearts here that are utterly broken down by the bereavements of life. I point you to -day to the eternal balm of heaven. Oh, age& men and wo- men, grace for three score years and ten! will not your decrepitude change for the leap of a hart when you come back to look face to face upon Him whom having not seen you love? That will be the bridegroom of the church coming from afar, the bride leaning upon his arm while he looks down into her face and says, "Behold, thou art fair, niy love ! Behold, thou art fair 1" in wooden sockets, cannot sleep. But thf what are you doing Why have they been they have been trying{o make this world better.

But while we are staiCling in the gloom of the Philippian dem:pone and we hear the mingling voices of�ob and groan and blasphemy and hallali ah, suddenly an earthquake ! The ironnbars of the prison twist, the pillars craolcoff, the solid ma- sonry begins to heave, h,ncl all the doors swing open.

Then I see the jailer mining through the dust and amid the isinof that prison, and. I see him throwingPimself down at the fest of these prisobrs, crying out; "What shall I do ? eWatt shall I of this place ?e Did Paul answer, before there is anotherearthquake ; put handcuffs and hobbleeon these other prisoners lest they get way ?" No word of that bind. His coined, thrilling, tre- mendous answer, answt memorable all through earth and hearse, was, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Chritand thou shalt be saved."

It must be dug three feet deep, and then the cross is laid on the ground, and the sufferer is stretched upon it, and the nails are pounded through nerve and muscle and bond, through the right hand., through the lest hand , and. then they shake His right hand to see if it is fast, and they heave up the wood, half a dozen shoulders under the weight, and they put the end of the cross to the mouth or the hole, and they plunge it in, all the weight of his body coming down for the first time on the spikes ; and while some hold the cross upright, others throw lathe dirt and trample it down, and trample it hard. Oh, plant that tree well and thorough- ly, horoughly, for it is to bear fruit such as no other tree ever bore. Why did Christ endure it? He could have taken those rocks, and with them crushed His •crucifiers. He could have reached up and grasped the sword of the Omnipotent God, and with one clean cut have tumbled them into perdition. But no ; He was to die. He must die. His life for your life. In a European city a young man died outhe scaffold for the crime of murder. Some time after the mother of this young man was dying, and the priest' came in, and she made confession to the priest that she was the murderer and not her son ; in a moment of anger she had struck her hus- band a blow that slew him.

And while I answer your question I look up and utter the prayer which Rowland Hill so often uttered in the midst of his sermons, "Master, help!" "Oh," says some one in a light way, "I believe that Christ was born in Beth- lehem, I believe that He died on the cross." Do you believe it with yourhead or your heart ? I will illustrate the dif- ference. You are in your own house. In the morning you open a newspaper and you read how Captain Braveheart on the sea risked his life for the salvation of his passengers. You say, "What a grand. fellow he must have been. His family deserves very well of the country." You fold the newspaper and sit down at the table, and perhaps do not think of that incident again. That is historical faith. But now you ars on the sea, and it is night, and you are asleep, and you are awakened by the cry of "Fire !' You rnsb. out on the deck. You hear, amid the wringing of the hands and the fainting, the cry : "No hope ! No hope!" We are lost ! The sail puts out its wings of fire, the rope makes a burning ladder in the night heavens, the spirit of wrecks hisses in the waves, and on the hurri- cane -deck shakes out its banner of smoke and darkness. "Down with the life- boats !" cries the captain. `(Down with the life -boats?" Peope rush into them.. The boats are about full. Room only for one more. You are standing on the deck beside the captain. Who shall it be ? You or the captain? The captain says "You." You jump and are saved. He stands there, and dies. Now, you believe that Captain Brave heart sacrificed himself for his passen- gars, but you believe it with love, with tears, with hot and long -continued ex- clamations •; with grief at his loss and joy at your deliverance. That is saving faith. In other words, what you believe with all your heart, and believe in re- gard to yourself. On this hinge turns my sermon ; aye, the salvation of your immortal soul.

Some Gallant Sayings. Among the very pretty things said of women Whittier has given us this : " If women lost us Eden, such as she alone re- stores it." Voltaire said : " It is woman who teaches us repose, civility and dig- nity," Ruskin says a great many fine things of women. "Shakespeare has no heroes ; he has only heroines. This is always true in a ruder, earlier stage of society. Woman always begins civilize tion. The honor of women has always been the corner -stone in building socially. A race lacking respect for women has never advanced politically and socially, or has speedily decayed. LLssing said : "Nature meant to make woman its mas- terpiece." Confucius, 2,200 years ago, said': "Woman is the world's master- piece." Bat Molherbe spoke the mind of all Frenchmen when he said : There are only two beautiful things in the world -- women and roses; and only two sweet things—women and melons." This was gallant but natural, and it gave woman her true place as a blossom and fruit of nature, uals Ruskin says : womenWeare foolish h and en as with - 5, out excuse in claiming the superiority of our sex to the other ; nn truth each has what the other has not. One completes the other, and they are in nothing alike. The happiness of both depends on each makingand receiving from �� the other what the other only can give. Thacke- ray drew this contrast : "Almost all wo- men will give a sympathizing hearing to men who are in love. Be they ever so old, they grow young again in that con- versation and renew their own early time. Men are not quite so generous." Voltaire said . All the reasonings of men are not worth one,;sentiment of women. Gladstone says : '"Woman is the mmol( perfect when the most womanly." Clark says : "Man is not superior to Wo- man nor woman to man.

TBi7 NEWSOM1t CASE(. The principal witnesses in the case at ainet Wm. B. Newsome, of Toronto, at Buffalo, N�,Y., for breach of the Contract Alien Labor Law, have, it is said, disap- peared.

No bonds were required of the wit- nesses, however, despite the fact that it was a criminal procedure. Commissioner Pairehild did not think this necessary at the time. He does now, as the witnesses have already skipped for parts unknowrn. No trace can be found of the handsome Miss Flannagan, the most important wit- ness in the ease, while the Larelys,the next most important, are also said tohave disappeared.
