i i (dans xiii, 12, "For now we see
bhrough it glass, darkly, but then face
to face," Rev, Dr. Talmage preached
e newt powerful and vivid sermon. IIe
said,:
Tho Bible is the most forceful and,
Pungent of books. While it has the
sweetness of e mother's hush for ha.
man trouble, it has all the keenness of
solmiter and. the crushing power of
a lightning holt. It portrays with
more than a praetor's power, at One
stroke, picturing a heavenly throne
and a judgment conflagration. The
strings of Ws great harp are fingered
by all elle splendors of the future,
now sounding with the oaokle of c.on-
00n8u1nl0g words, now thrilling with(
the joy of the everlasting omaneiput-
ed,. It tells how one forbidden tree in
the garden blasted the earth with
sickness and death, and how an-
other tree, though leafless and hare,
yet, planted on Calvary, shall
yield a fruit which shall more
than antidote the
t poison of the other.
lu •rlee of
It tells how the red, ripe a p e
God's wrath. were brought to the wine
press, and Jesus trod them out, and
how, et last, all the ,golden nhaliees
of heaven shall glow with the wine of
that awlul vintage. It dazzles the
eye with an Ezekiel's vision of wheel
and wing and fire and whirlwind,
end stoops down so low that it can
put its lips to 111e ear of a dying cited
and say, "Come up higher."
And yet Paul in my text; takes the
responsibility of suying than it is only
apt indistinct mirror and that its mis•,
Bion shall be suspended. 1. think there
may be one Bible in heaven, fastened
to the throne. Juetrus now, in a mus-
eum, we hare a lamp exhumed from
Herculaneum or Nineveh, and we look
at it with great interest and say, "ileus
poor a light it must have given eom-
psrod 'with our modern tamps!" so 1
think that this Bible, which was a lamp
to our feet in this world, may lie neat(
the throne of God, exciting our inter-
est to all eternity 11y the contrast be-
tween its comparatively feeble light
and lite illumination of heaven. The
Bible, now, is the scaffolding to the
rising temple, but wtea the building
is done, there will be no use for the
scaffolding.
The idea I shall develop to -day is,
that, In 1liis world our knowledge is
pomparuaively dim and unsatisfactory,
but nevertheless is introductory t0
grander and more complete vision
This is eminently true in regard, to our
view of God. We :bear so much about
God that we conclude that we under-
stand him, fie is represented as hay-
ing the tenderness of n. father, the
firmness of n judge, the majesty of a,
king and tee love of a mother. Wo
hear about him, talk about him, write
about him. We lisp his name in in-
fancy, and it trembles on the longue
of the dying oclogennrian, \Vi thtnle
Oat we ktlow very much about him,
4ako the attribute or mercy. Do we
understand it? The Bible blossoms all
over with that word -mercy. 7t spanks
ega.iu and again of the tender mercies
nC God ; of the sure marries; of the
great literates; of the mercy that en-
dureth forever;. of the multitude all
his mercies. And yet I know that the
vlewe we have of this great Being are
most indefinite, one sided and incom-
plete. When, at death, the gates shall
fl.y open and we shall look directly up-
on him ]row new and surprising I We
