Rev, Dr. Talmage Speaks of the Changes
of Fortune.
A despatch from Washiagton sayg
—Rev. Dr. 'I'almage preached f roan
the following, text ; "There wag a
eihara roele on the one eide,, and there
wee a sharp rock on the ether side."
Sam. xiv. 4.
My falande, you have been or are
now, eome of erC711, in thisncrieie of the

he can go. through i, He gathers
all ht a energies, cent:catenates them
upon one point, and in tlae strength
of God, or by hie own natural determ-
ination, go ee through it. I3ut the
man who Mae trouble' to the right of
him and trouble to th.e left of hina,
is to be pitied. Did either trouble
come alone, ho might endure it, but
two trouble, two disasterS, two over-
ahadowing misfortunes are Bozez and

QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her Refusal to Skm ti Parer Inimical t
, tile .Uutted states.
A little stoir3r has coma to me of
Queen Victoria, ,which. was not naeia-
tinned during her life. It bears the
(stamp of truth, as it was; told by her
young -est son, Prince Leopold, when
he was studying- at Oxford. A Har-
vard professor wag spending the
greater part of a year there, and be-
came intimately acetuainted with
Prince Leopold. When calling up-
on hire to say "good-bye," Prince Leo-
pold said, "I want to tell' you a story
to remember me by.
'I was a little boy, playing en the
floor of the room where my mother
avaa sitting, 'Lord Johnny,' as we af-
fectionately called him, Lard John
Russell, came into the room where
ray mother was and handed her a
paper, which she read carefully, and
then handed it back to him without a
,wo,rd. He went out and later returned
with the paper. She read it through
again, and sheered same displeasure,
,remerking, 'I do not like it, and I
shall never sign a paper that would
in any way lead to war with the
United States.'
"I looked up from my play, as this
was the first time I received any inti-
mation that my mother was anything
more than any ether woman. The
paper ,was still further changed. A
week or two later my mother toldt me
that my brother, the Prince of Wales,
had visited Ore United States the year
before. He had been SD kindly receiv-
ed that eln considered that it had es-
tablished a band of amity between
the United States and England, and
that she would never be one to .do
anything that could in any way dia.
turb it."
Leopeld is dead, Victoria is dead,
and all of us who hear, the story will
further honor the, good another and
peace -loving Queen.
In closing I will give the question
asked by a little girl who saw the
Queen driving at the Isle of Wight

11. "But Christ being come an high
ariest of good things to come by a greater
and more perfect taberuaclo uot made
with hands." The Holy Spirit in this
epistle dwells upon the excellency of the
Son of God the brielauess of the Fa-
her's glory and the express nuage of ILs
person, better and higher than angels,
than alosos, than afelehisedee, tlian
Aaron, than Joshua, than the tabernacle
with all its ritual, than all the sacrifices,
for He Himself is the true tabernacle
and the true sacrifice, of which all others
were only typical. A high priest on the
right hand of the throne of the Majesty
in the lice veils, a minister of the true tab-
ernacle which the Lord pitched and not
man (chapter viii, 1,2). The good thia,gs
to come, of whiCh He is a high priest,
are also mentioned in chapters x,' I; xi,
20, and shall be ,fully seen aad enjoyed
in the ages to come when He will show
.he exceeding riches of Ills grace in His
kindness toward us through Christ; Jo-
sus-(Eph. 71.-
12., "By His OW/1 blood He entered in
once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us." Everything
about the tabernacle, which Moses was
repeatedly instructed to make aceoiding
to the pattern shoed to him in the
mount (chapter viii, 5; Ex. xxv, 0, 40, et
al.), spoke of Christ and His sufferings
and glory, or, as it is written ill PS. xxix,
9, niargin, "In His temple every whit of
it uttereth Flis glory." The blood taken
within the vail once a year for the high
priest himself as well as' for the people
(verse 7 and Lev. xvi) pointed to His
own preeicios blood which He has shed
once for all and which takes away not
the. sins of a year, but all sins forever,
for the blood af Jesus Christ cleansetlo
from all sin (I John i, 7; Rev. i, 5; John
xiii, 10). He has not obtained for us re-
demption for a week or a moath or a
year, but eternal redemption. He gives
to His sheep eternal life, and they shall
never perish; neither can any pluck them
out of 1 -lis band (John x, 27-29). Iae
Himself is our redemption, and apart
from Him there is none (Eph. i, 7; I Cor.
1, 30; Acts iv, 12). •-•
13, 14. "How much more shall the
blood of Christ surge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living
God?" There was a ceremonial cleans-
ing by the blood of the sacrifices, but
nothing ever took away sin but the blood
of Christ, to which all the sacrifices
pointed. The ashes of a heifer take MI
back to Num. xix and the wondrous and
most significant ordinance of "the red
heifer," which should have a most prayer-
ful study. But the only real cleansing,
either from sin or from defilement, by tho
way, in this wilderness Journey, is by the
blood of Him who by the Eternal Spirit
offered Himself a sacrifice to 'God for our
sins—a lamb without blemish and with-
out spot (I Pet. i, 10). s Do let us give
earnest heed to what is hero taagtit that
we are not redeemed to be taken'at, once
to heaven, but to abide here to serve the
liVing God, or, as it is written in I,Thess.
1, 0, 10, "to servo the living and time God
and to wait for His Son from heaven."
With the wicked .works of the ungodly
the believer is supposed to have forever
done, but all works of the believer, how-
ever good in themselves, if net wrought
by the Holy Spirit are only dead works,
they profit nothing (I Cor. 111, 15). a.
24. "Christ is entered into heaven it-
self, now to appear in the presence of
God for us." That we, having obtained
life in Him, shall continue to live is be-
cause he ever liveth to make intercession
for us (chapter vii, 25). As He said,
"Because I live, ye shall live also" (John
xiv, 19), or as it is written in Rom. v, 10,
"Being reconciled to God by the death of
His Son, we shall be saved by His life."
We have in heaven it Great High Priest
who is touched with the feeling of ouit
infirmities, having been in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin,
end to Him we may come boldly and
find in Him always the mercy and grace
that we need (chapter iv, 14-16). Let us
lay up in our hearts and hold fast these
precious words, "In the presence of Gail
for me," and also the words in Rom. viii,
34, "At the right hand of God for Inc."
25, 26. "Now once in the end of the
world bath He appeared to put away sin
by the sacrifice of Himself." We have
in these closing verses of this chapter
what some have called His three appear-
ings—in humiliation to put away sia, now
in the presence of God for us and, as we
shall find in the last verse, His'appear-
ing to bring the fullness of His salvation,
His kingdom—two appearings on earth
and one in heaven. It was at the end of
the age preceding this and at the begin-
ning of this age that He came to give
Himself a sacrifice for sin. At the end
of this ale He will come the second
time, and during all this age He is in
the presence of God for us. We cannot
dwell too much upon the great truth of
the sacrifice of Himself. "His own self
bore our sins in His own body on the
tree." "He was wounded for our trans-
gressions, He was bruised for our iniqui-
ties." "The Lord laid upon Him the
iniquity of us all." "Christ hath redeem-
ed us from the curse of the law, being
made a curse Inc us." "Ile gave Him-
self for our sins." "The Son of God
loved me and gave Himself for mo" (I
Pet. ii, 24; Isa. Ilia 5, 6; Gal. iii, 13; i, 4;
ii, 20).
27. 28. "Unto them that look for Him
shall He appear the second time without
sin unto salvation." Only two, so far as
we know, have thus far escaped or been
excused from the appointment to die, bet
when He shall come to the air for IIis
people all the redeemed then alive on
the earth shall, like Enoch and Elijah,
be take a without dying, changed in.. a mo-
ment (I 'Bless. iv, 16, 17; rCor. xv, 51,
52). In duo time all shall, come to judg-
ment, either at the judgment .seat of
Christ or the great white throne, for ev-
ery one of us must give account of him-
self to God (Rom. xiv, 10-12; Rev. xx,
11, 12). The salvation for which lIe
will come must be that of the bodies of
His saints from the power of the grave
or the salvation of all Israel as a nation
(Rom'. xiii, 11; xi, 26; Luke xxi, 28). Sal-
vation, the forgiveness Of sine, the life
eternal, is the possession of every true
believer now; we are day by day to work
out 01' make the best possible tase of
that salvation; eye wait for the redemp-
tion of the body, so that our personal
salvation may be said to be threefold.
But there, is also the salvation of all Is-
rael, and after that the salvation Of
'tios Y. ).
