Dr. Tal- mage this morning preached. a power - Cal sernion from the text, Hebrews ix, 22, "Wet:tout shedding of blood ieno remission" eie said: ' Jobn G. Whittier, the last of the great schoial of American poets that made the last quarter of this °enterer brillient, asked iese ba the White Moun- tains one morning after prayers, in which I had given out Cowper's' faro.- . aus hymn about "the 'fountain filled with blood," "Do you. really believe there is a literat applleation ot the blood, of. Christ to the soul ?" My negative reply then is my negative re- ply now. The Bible statement agrees with, all physloiane and, all physiolo- gists andscientists in saying that the blood. is the life, and in tbe Christian religion it means simply that Clerist's lite was given for our life. Hence all this talk of men- who say the Bible story of blood is disgusting, and that they don't want that they call a "slaughter house religion," only shows their incapacity GT unwillingness to look through the figure of speech to- ward the thing signified. The bloodd, that on the darkest laiday the world ever saw oozed and trickled or poured from.

Life for life! Blood for blood! Substitntion , In the legal proiession I see the same principle of self sa,crifice. In 1816 Will Lam Freeman, a pauperized and idiot ic negro, was at Auhurn, N.Y., on trie for murder. He had slain .thie entir Van Nest family.
