Dr, Talmage's Farewell Sermon Be- fore Leaving For the Famine Stricken Districts of -Russia to be Present at the Christian Herald's Relief Cargo Distri- • button ' BslowearN, N. Y., June 12, -1892.—Dr. Talmage prefaced his sermon this morning with a statement to the effect that he would sail on Wednesday next for Europe, and might be able to be present at. the dis- tribution in the famine -stricken districts of Russia of the Christian Herald relief cargo, cobsisting of three million pounds of flour and other supplies which goes out this week on the steamahip Leo, chartered for the purpose. He congratulated the Ameri- can people on the generous spirit evinced by this magnificent gift to the starving people. His sermon was from the text, Ephes.-.6:11 : "Put on the whole armor of God." There is in this text a great rattle of shields and helmets and swords. Soldiers are getting ready for battle. We have had recently in this church new enlistments, and I shall address myself to those in this and other churches who are putting on the armor of God, and who may feel themselves to be as yet only raw recruits. My first word of counsel is, hold before your soul a very high model. Do not say, "I wish I could pray like that man, or speak like this man, or have the con- secration of this one." Say : "Here is the Lord Jesus Chriat, a perfect pattern. By that I mean, with God's grace, to shape all niy life." In other words you will never be any more a Christian than you strive to be. If you build a foundation twenty by thirty feet you will only have a small house. If you build a foundation one hundred by one hundred feet, you. will have a -large house. I€ you resolve to be only a. middling Christian, you will only be a middling Christian. If you have no high aspiration in a worldly direction you will never succeed in business. If you have no high aspiration in religious things you will never succeed in religion. You r leave a right to aspire to the. very highest style of Christian character. From your feet there reaches out a path of Christian attainment which you may take, and I de- liberately say that you may be a better man than was Paul, or David, or Summer- field or Doddridge—a better woman than Hannah More or Charlotte Elizabeth. Why not ? 1)id they have a monopoly of Chris- tian grace? Did they have a private key of the storehouse of God's mercy 9 Does God shut you oat from the gladness and goodness to which they were introduced ? Oh, no. You have just the same promises, just the same Christ, just the same Holy Ghost, just the same offers of present and you fall short of and if everlasting love , what they were—ay, if you do not come up to the paint which they reached and go be- yond it—it is not because Christ has shut you out from any point of moral and spirit- ual elevation, but because you deliberately refused to take it. When the war -vessel of Christ's Church i comes into glory bringing its crew and its passengers, it will not come in like a North River yacht, beautifully painted and'adorn- ed, swinging into the boat house after a pleasure excursion. Oh, no. It will be like a vessel coming with a heavy cargo from. China or India, the marks of the wave and the hurricane upon it—sails rent, rig- gings spliced, pumps all working to keep o lieu afloat, bulwarks knocked ed away. I see such a vessel corning and get out my small boat and push towards her, and I shout : Li'Ahoy, captain ! What are you going to do with those shivered timbers ? That was a beautiful ship when you went out, but you have ruined it." "Oh," says the captain, "I have a fine cargo ou board, and by this round trip I have made ten fortunes." So I believe it will be when the Christian soul at last comes into the har- bor of heaven. It will come bearing upon it the marks of a great stress of weather. You can see by the very looks of that soul as it comes into glory that it was driven by a storm and dashed, in the hur- ricane ; but by so much as the voyage is rough wilt the harbor be blessed. "If ye suffered with him on earth, ye shall be glorified with him in heaven." Aim high. o not be satisfied to be like the Christians all around about you. Be more than they have ever been for Christ. My second word of counsel to those who have recently entered upon Christian life is : abstain from all pernicious associations," and take only those that are useful and, beneficent. Stay out of all associations= that would damage your Christian charac- ter. Take only those associations that will help you. A learned man said : "If I stay with that man Fenelon any longer I shall get to be a Christian in spite of myself." In other words there is a mighty power in Christian associations. Now, what kind of associations shall we, as young Christians,- seek after ? I think we ought to get in company better than ourselves, never going into company worse than ourselves. If we get into company a littlebetter than our- selves and there are ten people in that company, ten chances to onewe will be bettered. If we get into company a little worse than ourselves, and there be ten people in that company, ten chances to one we will be made worse than we were before. Now, when a young Christian enters the church, God does not ask him to retire from the world. The anchorite that lives on. acorns is no nearer heaven than the man who lives on partridge and wild duck. Isolation is not demanded by the Bible. A man may use the world with the restric- tion of not abusing it. 13ut just as soon as you find any surroundings pernicious to your spiritual interest, quit those associa- tions. This remark is more especially ap- propriate to the young. Now it is impos- sible that the young and untroubled should seek their associations with those who are aged and worn out. As God intended the aged re associate with the aged, talking over the past and walking staff in hand along the same paths' they trod, thirty, forty and fifty years ago, so I suppose he intended the young chiefly to associate with the young. Tlie grace of God does not demand that we be unnatural. I do not want you to take this caution I have given you ars that of a.a growling misan- thrope, hating hilarity. For you must have a spring bow if you want to make the ar- row fly. But while this is so, I want you to be especially ou guard in this matter, and let the religion of Jesus Christ control you in all your associations. My next word of i counsel is that you be aceirely employed. I see a great many Christians with doubts and perplexities, and they seem to be proud of then. Their entire Christian life is made up of gloom, and they seem to cultivate that spiritual despondency, when I will undertake to say that in nine cases out of ten spiritual despondency is a judgment of God upon idleness. Who are the happy people in the church to -day ? The busy people. h.row rue a man who professes the reli- g'.on of Jesus Christ and is idle, and I will show you an unhappy man. The very first sure e•rmt.ion that I give to a man when I find him full of doubt and fears about his eternal interest is to go to work for, God. Ten thousand voices are lifted up asking for your help. Go and help. Here is a wood full ot sum- mer insects. An axeman goes into the wood to cat firewood. The insects do not bother him very much, and every stroke of the axe makes them fly away. But let a man go and lie down there and he is bit- tning to stay in the wood. W by does he not take an axe Ind go to work ? So there are thousands of Christians now in the church who go out amid great annoy- ances in life—they are not perplexed, they are all the time busy ; while there are „others who'd„ nothing, and they are stung and stung and stung and covered from head to foot with the blotches of indolence and inactivity, and spiritual death. The first thing, then, you have to do, 0 Christian young man, Christian young wo- man, is to go to work in the service of the Lord if you want to be a happy Christian. When an army goes out, there, are always stragglers falling_ off here and there, some because they are faint and sick, but a great many because they are afraid to fight and too lazy to march. After awhile the lazy men on the road hear the booming of the guns for hours, and they hear the shout of victory, and a man on horseback comes up and says : "We have won the day!" 'hen they hasten up. How brave they are after the battle is over. Poor at fighting but grand at. "htizza !" So there are stragglers going after the Lord's host. There come .days of darkness and battle. Where are they ?. We call the roll of the host. They make no answer, but after awhile there comes a day of triumph in the church, and they are all about. "Huzza 1 huzza ! Didn't we give it to them r I have another word of counsel to give those who have just entered Christiau'life, and that is, be faithful in ra. ar. You might as well, business man, start out in the morning without food and expect to be strong all that flay—you might as well ab- stain from food all -the week and expect to be strong physically, as to be strong with- out prayer. The only way to get any strength into the soul is by prayer, and the only difference between that Christian that is worth everything and that who is worth nothing is the fact that the last does not pray and the other does. Another word of -counsel I have to give. Be faithful in Bible research. A great - many good books are now coming out. We cannot read half of them. At every revolution of the printing press they are coming. They cover our parlor tables, and are in our sitting rooms and libra- ries. Glorious books they are. We thank God every day for the work of the Christian printing press. But I have thought that perhaps the followers of Christ sometimes allow this religious literature to take their attention from God's Word, and there may not be as much Bible reading as there ought to be. . Read the Bible and it brings you into the association of the best people that ever lived. You stand before Moses, and learn his meekness, beside Job and learn his patience, beside Paul and catch something of his enthusiasm, beside Christ and you feel his love: And yet how strange it is that a great many men have, given their whole lives to the assaulting of that -book. I cannot understand it. There is a ship at sea and in trouble. The captain and the crew are at their wits' end. You are on board. You are an old seaman. You come up and give some .good counsel, which is kindly taken. That is all right. But suppose, instead of doing that, in the midst ot all the trouble, you pick up the only compass that is on board and pitch it over the taffrail ? Oh, you say, that is dastardy. But is it as mean as this ? Here is the vessel of the world going onwith sixteen hundred millions of - passengers, tossed and driven in the tempest, and at the time we want help the infidel comes and he takes hold of the only compass and he tries to pitch it overboard. It is con- temptible beyond everything that is con- temptible. Have you any better light? Bring it on if you have. Have you any bet- ter comfort to give us? Bring it on if you have. Have you any better hope ? Bring it on if you have, and then you may have this Bible and I shall never want it.again. But I can think of a meaner thing than that, and that is an old man going along on the mountain with a staff in one hand and a lantern in the other. Darkness has come. on suddenly. He is very old, just able to pick his way out amid the rocks and pre- . cipices, leaning on his staff with one hand and guiding himself with the light in the other. You come up and say, "Father,you seem to be lost. You are a long way from home." "Yes," he replies. And then you take him by the hand and lead him home. That is very kind of you. But suppose in- stead of that youshould snatch the stafffrom his hands and hurl it over the rocks, and snatch the lantern and blow .it out ? That would be dastardly, contemptible until there is no depth of contempt beneath it. If you have a better staff, give it to him. If you have a better light, give it to him. When God has put the staff of the Gos- pel in our hands and the lamp of God's Word to light our feet, are you going to take from us our only illumination ? I love the sting of the wasp and the rattlesnake better than 1 do the man who wants to clutch the Wordof God from the grasp. There are people here who have been reading it a good while. It is a - precious book to their souls. It has been •so in times of darkness and trouble. There was a soldier who fell in battle, and after he had fallen he said in a feeble voice to his comrade. "Give me• a drop." His comrade replied, "There is not a particle of water in my canteen." "Oh," he said, "I don't mean that. Look in my knap- sack and you will find a Bible .there. Get out that old Ible and just give me a drop out of that. And his comrade found the Bible and read a few passages. The dying soldier said, "Oh, George, there is nothing like that for a dying soldier." Cling to your Bible ! If this Bible should be destroyed, if all the Bibles that have ever been printed should be destroy- ed, we could makeup a Bible right out of this audience. From that Christian man's experience I take one cluster of promises, and from that old Christian man's experi- ence another, I put them all together, and I think 1 would have a Bible.

Who Can Penetrate the Mystery as to Whether Whether or No It Is Conscious ? The double execution- by decapitation, which took place on Saturday, April 23, at Goorlitz, Germany, of the two murderers, Knoll and Heydrich, caused serious discus- sion of the anachronism of inflicting death by beheading. This brings- to mind that only one experience was left to be added k, the glories of hypnotism. It had never ii thought to transmit a suggestion to an idual about to be beheaded and then to accurately observe the 'sensations felt at the moment of torture. The celebrated German painter Wiertz, whose works are collected in the Musee Wiertz, Bruxelles, might be considered a precursor ot such a test. Wiertz was not an adept in occult sciences. His investiga- Leon was impeuea by generosity of senti- 1 ment rather than through vain curiosity. What occupied his mind was the legitimate - question of the death .penalty, and he was ceaselessly htunted by the' desire to pene- trate into the mysteries of death through the torture of the guillotine. Is it true this anguish endures but a sec- ond ? What does the culprit think ? What does he feel at the fatal moment when the deadly knife falls heavily upon his neck ? All such questions harassed the mind of the artist. Wiertz was a close acquaint- ance of -M. M—, the physician in attend- ance at the prison in Bruxelles, and was likewise an intimate friend ot Dr, D—, a scientist who had for more than thirty years devoted himself to the study of hyp- notism. The latter had often hypnotized the painter, who had already proved to be a wonderfully susceptible subject. Wiertz, favored with the permission of M. M—, the prison official, and the con- sent of Dr. D—, determined -upon the following experiment : He would.place him- self under the guillotine, where the severed head of the condemned rolls intothe basket, and there be allowed to be put to sleep through hypnotism and ordered t� pene- trate the mental and bodily 'sensations of the executed. Preparatory to this test, a few days before, b- decapitation occurred, he submitted to be put to sleep by Dr. D---, who influenced him to identify himself with different people in order to read their thoughts—to penetrate their very souls and consciences—so as to experience all the sentiments which agitated them. Wiertz proved a most fitting person for so delicate a mission. - About ten minutes previous to the ar- rival oftlre condemned on the day of execu- tion Wiertz, accompanied by his friend, Dr. D--, and two witnesses, proceeded to the guillotine, and there, placing themselves close to the basket beneath the scaffold, but unsuspecteddJy the public, Wiertz was hypnotized by. the doctor. While in thine condition, Dr, D obliged him to identify himself with the victim, to follow minutely all his thoughts, and to feel and et -press aloud the sensations affecting the criminal just at the moment when the knife entered his neck. He ordered him finally, just as the head fell into the basket, to make an effort to enter that brain and analyze the last thoughts there impressed. The three friends who accompaniefl the painter stood there in breathless silence, anxiously awaiting developments. The tread of feet overhead warns them that the condemned is being led by the executioner to the death -dealing machine. The culprit ascends the scaffold ; another instant and the guillotine will have accom- plished its bloody work. The doctor 'watches Wiertz and notices that he is extremely perturbed. He sup- plicates piteously to be awakened. The anguish oppressing him is intolerable. But it is too late ;' the kite has fallen ! "What do you feel ? What do you see?" questions- the doctor. The painter, struggling with convulsions, answers, moaning : "A lightning 1 A thun- derbolt has fallen . Oh, hornet. tThe headd thinks ; the head sees. "It millers horribly 1 It hears, it thinks, but cannot comprehend what has hap- pened. "It looks for its body. It seems as if the body must join it. It expects the final blow. It awaits death, but death will not come 1" While Wiertz was giving utterrnce to these shocking sentences the other witnes- ses, who had noticed the head falling through the bag to the bottom of the basket, crown downward and bleeding neck upward, observed that it was looking at them with mouth widely distended and teeth tightly clinched. The arteries still pulsated palpably where the knife had sev- ered them and the warm blood spurted out, spattering the eyes, the face, the hair. The painter continued his lamentations. "Ah ! what hand is this strangling me ? An enormous, merciless hand. Oh ! this pressure crushes the. Nothing but a large red cloud do I see. Shall I ever liberate myself from this accursed hand ? Let loose, you monster 1 Vainly do I struggle with both my bands. What is this 1 feel ? An open wound and my blood flowing. I'mn nothing but a'.head rent from the body !" It was only after long suffering that must have seemed endless that the decapi- tated head realized its -separation -_from the body. 1Viertz had again subsided into somno- lence, and Dr. D continued his inter- rogatories. "What do you see now ? Where— are you ?" - The painter answered : "I fly into open space like a wheel hurled through a fire. But—am I dead ? Is all over with me ? Oh ! if they would only join my body with my head again ! Oh, men, have mercy ! Restore my body to me and I shall live again. I will, think. I will see. I yet re- member everything. There are my judges clad. in dark robes. They utter my sen- tence I! Oh, my poor bereaved wife ! My wretched, unfortunate child ! You love me no longer. You abandon me. If only you would unite me with my body I should be with you again. No ! You are insensible to my entreaties. But I love you still, my poor darlings. Let me but embrace you. Come, my little child. No ? You shudder with fear. Oh, unfortunate, you are stain- ed with my blood ! When will this ghastly racking end?' End? Is it not the criminal doomed to eternal punishment?" While the sleeping artist described these sensations the bystanders noted that the orbs in the severed heads were immensely dilated and expressed indescribable agony and intense pleading. The bewailing con- tinued : "No, no ; such torture cannot last for- ever ! God is merciful 1 Now all belong- ing to earth fades from my sight. I see afar in the remote distance a star glisten- ing and scintillating. Oh, hew restful it must be there ! How relieved I feel ! My entire being is soothed by the gentle balm of peace and" calmness. What a tranquil slumber I shall have ! Oh, what ecstasy !" These were the last words uttered by the hypnotic subject. Although still in this sleep= he failed to answer any further ques- tioning. Dr. D at this point examined the head in the basket, touching its fore- head, its temples, its teeth ; all was icy. The head was dead. It is not at all likely that there will be imitators, as it is more painful to suffer with the subject of the guillotine than to leolc.—Chicago Times. —There are about SO bicycle riders in Berlin and Waterloo. —A Montreal despatch of the 13th inst., says': The Norwegian steamship Wergen- land, which, about a month ago, passed through here with a cargo of fish and oil direct from Bergen, Norway, to Chicago,has arrived at Montreal on her return. trip. She left Chicago on Thursday, sad has just been nine days in coming down. At Kingston she had to lighten to enable her to navigate the St. Lawrence canals, which she Slid without any mishap or trouble. The cargo taken out will be reloaded, and the vessel will proceed to Christiana, to which port her cargo is consigned. The cargo consists of 9,800 bushels of wheat and 1,600 sacks of flour, each rack weighing 220 pounds. There ern also a few tons of pro- visions. Captain Weise says that from a financial point of view the venture has not made any fortunes, but he was glad to say that they did not sustain any loss through it, In fact, there was a fair balance on the right side, and he was quite satisfied. The great drawback is having to tranship part of the ;cargo in order to pass through the St. Lawrence canal. It is expensive and causes delay. Captain Weise may possibly repeat the trip next year, and bring a few passengers to take in the World's Fair. REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
