the Teat : "Ye Are Bought With &Price"
—A Magnificent Sernion by the Eloquent
LolitnOis, England, June 26, 1892. -Dr.
Talmage preached in this city to -day. His
reception in England has been Meet en-
thusuistic. Many letters were awaiting
him from different cities eagerly pleading
for visit. He is very much gratified by
the extreme cordiality of his reception.
Dr. Talmage entitles his sermon "The Im-
mense (Jost," from the text, I. bor. 6: 20,
"Ye are bought with a price."
Your friend takes you through his valu-
able house. You examine the arches, the
frescoes, the grass -plots, the fial-ponds, the
conservatories, the parks of deer, and you
say within yourself or You say aloud:
"What did all this cost?' You See a costly
diamond flashing in an earring, or you hear
a costly dress rustling across the drawing -
room, or you see a high-mettIed span of
horses harnessed with silver and gold, and
you begin to make an estimate of the
value.
The man who owns a large estate cannot
instantly tell you all he is worth. He says:
"I. will estimate so mach for a house, so
- much -for the furniture, ao much for laying
out the grounds, so much for the stock,
so much for the barn, so much for the
equipage -adding up in all making this
aggregate."
Well, my friends, I hear so much about
our mansion n heaven, about its furniture
and the grand surroundings, that I want to
know how much it is all worth, and what
has- actually been paid for it. I cannot
complete in a month nor a year the magnifi-
cent calculation, but before I get through
to -day I hope to give you the figures. "Ye
are bought with &price."
With some friends I went to your
Tower to look at the Crown jewels. We
walked around, caught one glimpse of
them, and, being in the procession, were
compelled to pass out. I wish that I could
_take this audience into the tower of God's
mercy and strength, that you might walk
around just once, at least, and see the
crown jewels of eternity, behold their bril-
liance, and estimate their value. "Ye are
bought with a, price."
Now, if you have a large amount, of
money to pay, you do not pay it all at
once, but you pa,y it by installments -so
much the first of January, so much the first
of April, so much the first of July, so much
the first of October,' until the entire
amount is paid; and I have to tell this au-
dience that "you have been bought with a
price," and that that price was paid in dif-
ferent instalments.
The first installment paid for the clear-
ance of ' our souls was the ignominious
birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Though we
may never be carefully looked. after after-
ward, our advent ' into the world is care-
fully guarded. We come into the world
smid kindly attentions. Privacy and.
silence are afforded when God launches an
immortal soul into the world. Even the
roughest of men know enough to stand
back. But I have to tell you that in the
village on the side of the hill there was a
very bedlam of uproar when Jesus was
born. In a village capable of accommo-
dating only a few hundred people, many
thousand people were crowded.; and amid
bostlers and muleteers and camel drivers
yelling at stupid beasts of burden, the
Messiah appeared. No silence. No pri-
vacy. A better adapted place hail theeagle
in the eyrie -hath the whelp in the lions'
lair, The exile of heaven lieth down upon
straw. The first night out from the palace
of heaven spent in an outhouse! One hour
after laying aside the robesY,01 heaven
dressed in a wrapper of coarse linen. One
would have supposed that Christ would
have made a more gradual descent, coming
from heaven first to a half -way world _ of
great magnitude, then to Caes.r's palace,
then to a merchant's castle in Galilee, then
to a private home in Bethany, then to a
fisherman's hut, and last ot all to a stable.
No ! it was one leap from the top to the •
bottom.
Let us open the door of the caravansary
in BettIehem and drive awa,y the camels.
Press on through the group of idlers and
loungers. What, 0 Mary! no light-?" "No
Light," she says, "save that which comes
through the door." What, Mary! no food?
"None," she says, "only that which was
brought in the sack on the journey." Let
the Bethlehem woman who has come in
here with kindly attentions put back the
covering from the babe that we may look
upon it. Look! Look! Uncover your
head. Let us kneel. Let all voices be
hushed. Son of Mary! Son of God! Child
of a day -Monarch of eternity! In that
eye the glance of a God. Omnipotence
sheathed in that babe's arm. That voice to
be changed from the feeble plaint to the
cone that. shall wake the dead. Hosanna !
Hosanna.! Glory be to God that Jesus
came from throne to manger, that we might
rise from manger to throne, and that all the
gates are open, and that the door of heaven,
that once swung this way to let Jesus out,
now swings the other way. to let us in. Let
all the bell men of heaven. ley hold the rope
and ring out the news : "Behold I bring
yon glad tidings. of great joy, which shall
De to a.II people; for to -day is born in the
city of David a Saviour, which -is Christ the
Lord.'
The second installment paid for our
soul's clearance was the sceee in Quaran-
tania, a mountainous region, fulled caverns,
where there are to this day panthers and
wild beasts of all sorts, so that you must
now go there armed. with knife, or gun, or
pistol. It was there that Jesus went to
think and to pray, and it was there that
this monster of hell -more sly, more terri-
fic, than anything that prowled ia that
country -Satan himself, met Christ.
The rose in the cheek of Christ -that
Publius Leaulius, in his letter to the Ro-
man Senate, ascribed to Jesus -that rose
bad scattered its petals. Abstinence from
rood had. thrown him into emaciation. A
long abstinence from food recorded in pro-
fane history is that of the crew of the
ship Funo; for twenty-three days they had
hothing to eat. But this sufferer had fast-
ed a month and ten days before he broke
fast. Hunger must have agonized every
fibre of the body, and gna.wed on the sto-
mech with teeth of death. The thought of
a morsel of bread or meal must have thrill-
ed the body with something like ferocity.
Turn. out a pack of men hungry as Christ
was a -hungered, and if they had strength,
with one yell they would devour -you. as a
lion a kid. It was in that pang of hunger
that Jesus was accosted, and &ten said :
"Now change the stones, which look like
bread, into an actual supply of bread." Rad
the temptation come to you and me, under
those circumstances we would have cried :
"Bread it shall be!" and been almost im-
patient at the time taken for mastication;
but Christ with one hand beat back the
hunger, and with the other hand beat
back the monarch e_f darkness. 0, ye
tempted ones ! Christ was tempted. We
are told that Napoleon ordered a coat of
mail made; but he was sot quite certain
that it was impenetrable, so he said to the
mannfa,cturer of the coat of mail : "Put it
on yourself, and let us try it"; and with
shot after shot from his own pistol, the em-
peror found out that it was just what it
pretended to be -a good coat of mail. Then
tb.e man received a large reward.
I bless God that the same coat G;
that struck back the weapons of temptation
from the head of Christ we may now all
wear; for Jesus comes and lays: "I have
been tempted, andt. know what it is to be
ternpfed. Take Js robs tha detended Me,
and weq» for

worth looking at"; and after a •
journey they came to Jerusalem, a the
top of the temple. Just as one might go
up in the tower of Antwerp and look off
upon Belgians, so Satan brought Chriet to
the top•of the Temple. Some people at a
great height feel dizzy, and a strange dis-
position to jump; so Satan tomes to Christ
in that very muds. Standing there at the
top of the temple they looked off. A
magnificent reach of country. Grain fields,
vineyards, olive groves, forests and stream,
cattle in the valley, flocks on the hills, and
villages and cities and realms. "Now,"
says Satan, "I'll make a bargain. Just
jump off. I know it is a great way from
the top of the Temple to the valley, but if
you are divine you can fly. Jump off.
It won't hurt you. Angels will catch you.
Your Father will hold you. Besides, I'll
make you a large present if you will. rii
give you Asia Minor, I'll give you China,
give you Ethiopia, 1,11 give you Italy,
give you Spain, 111 give you Germany,
I'llgive you Britain, I'll give You all the
world." What a temptation it must have
been
Go to -morrow morning and get in an
altercation with some wretch crawling up
from a gin celler in the lowest part of your
city. 'No," you say, "I would not be -
mean myself by getting into euch a con-
test." Then think of what the King of
heaven and earth endured when He came
down and fought the great wretch of hell,
and fought him in the wilderness and on
top of the Temple. But I bless God that
in the triumph overtemptation `Christ gives
us the aszurence that we also shall tri-
umph. Having himself been tempted, he
is able to succor all those who are tempted.
In % violent storm at sea the mate told a
boy -for the rigging had become entangled
at the mast -to go up and right it. A
gentleman standing on the deck said,
"Don't send that boy up ; he wiil be (hush-
ed to death." The mate said, "1 know
what I am about." The boy raised his hat
in recognition of the order and then rose
hand over hand and went to work ; and as
he swung in the passengers wrung their
hinds and expected to see him fall. The
work done he came down in safety • and a
Christian man said to him, "Why did you
go down in the forecastle before you went
up ?" "Ah," said the boy, "I went down
to pray. My mother always itaught me,
before I. undertook anything great, to
pray." What is that you have in your
vest ?' said the man. "Oh ! that is
the New Teatament,' he Aid • "I thought
I would carry it with me if 1 really did
go overboard." How well the boy was

himself having been in the tempest will
deliver all those who put their trust in
Him. Blessed be His glorious name for
ever.
The third instalment paid for our re-
demption Nvas the Saviour's sham trial. I
call it a sham trial -there has never been
anything se indecent or unfair in any crim-
inal court as was witnessed at.the trial of
Christ. Why, they hustled Him into the
court -room at two o'clock in the morning.
They gave Him no time for counsel. They
gave him no opportunity for subreenaing
witnesses. The ruffians who were wander-
ing around through the midnight, of course
they saw the arrest and went into the
court -room. But Jesus' friends were sober
men, were respectable men, and at that
hour, two o'clock in the morning, of course
they were at home asleep. Consequently
Christ entered the court -room with the ruf-
fians.
Oh, look at Him! No one to speak a
word for Him. I lift the lantern until I
cen look into His face, and as my heart
beats in sympathy for this, the best friend
the world ever had, Himself now utterly
friendless, an officer of 'the court -room
comes up and smites Him in the mouth,
and I see the blood stealingefrom gum and
lip. Oh! it was a farce of a trial, lasting
Only perhaps an hour, and then the judge
• rises for sentence. Stop. It is against the
law to give sentence unless there has been
and adjournment of the court likween con-
demnation and sentence: but what cares
the judge for the law? "The Man had no
friends -let Him die," says the judge; and
the ruffians outside the rail cry: "Aha!
aha that's *hat we want.. Pass Him out
here to us- Away with Him. Away with
Oh! I bless God that amid all the in-
justice that may have been inflicted upon
us in thisworld we have a divine Sym-
pathizer. The world cannot lie about
you nor abuse you as much as they did
Christ, and Jesus stands to -day in every
court -room, in every house, in every store,
and says, "Courage!.By all my hours of
maltreatment and abuse, I will protect
those who are trampled upon." And when
Christ forgets that two o'clock morning
scene, and the stroke of the ruffian on the
mouth, and the howling of the unwashed
crowd, then he will forget you and me in
the injustices of life that may be inflicted
upon us.
Further, I remark: The last great install-
ment paid for our redemption was the de-
mise of Christ. The world has seen many
dark days. Many summers ago there was
a very dark day when the sun was eclipsed.
The fowl at noonday weiat to their perch,
and we felt a gloom as we looked at the
astronomical wonder. It was a dark day in
London when the plague was at its height,
and the dead with uncovered faces were
taken in open carts and dumped in the
trenches. It was a dark day when the
earth opened and Lisbon sank ; but the
darkest day since the creation of the world
was when the' carnage of Calvary wae en-
acted.
It was about noon when the curtain be-
gan to be drawn. I was not the cosning on
of a night that soothes and refreshes; it
was the swinging -of a great gloom all
-around the heavens. God hung it. As
when there is a -dead one in the house you
bow the shutters or turn the lattice, so God
in the afternoon shut the windows of the
world. As it is appropriate to throw a
black pall upon the coffin as it passes along,
so it was appropriate that - everything
should be sombre that day as the greet
hearse of the earth rolled on, bearing tile
r fJ
corpse of the King. A man's last hours are
ordinarily kept sacred. However you may
have hated or caricatured a man, when ycu
hear he is dying, silence puts its
hand on your lipa, and you would have a
loathing for the man who could stand
oy a deathbed making faces and
scoffing. But Christ in His las. hour can-
not be left alone. What, purening Him
yet after so leng -a pursuit? You have
been drinking His tears. Do you want
to drink His blood ? They come up
closely, so that notwithstanding the dark-
ness they can glut their revenge with the
contortions of His countenance. They
examine His feet. They want to teel for
themselves whether those feet are really
spiked. They put out their hands and
touch the spikes, and bring them back
wet with blood and wipe them on their
garments. Women stand there and weep,
but can do no good. It is no place for
the tender-hearted woman. It wants a
heart that crime has turned into granite.
The waves of man's hatred and of hell's
vengeance dash up against the mangled
feet, and the hands of sin and pain and
torture clutch for His holv heart. Had
lee

cross they would have torn Him down and

; I lift the covering from thiemaltreated
Christ to let you count the wounds and
estimate the cost. Oh ! when thniiiilif Went
through Christ's right hand and through
Christ's left head, that bought both your
hands with all their power to work, and
lift, and write; when the nails went through
Christ's right foot and Christ's left foot,
that bought your feet, with all their power
to walk or run or climb. When the thorn
went into Christ's temple, that bought
your brain, with all its power to think and
plan. When the spear cleft -Christ's side,,
that bought your heart, with all its power
to love and repent and pray.
0, sinner, come, come back ! If a man
is in no pain, if he is prospered, if he is
well, and he asks you to come, you take
your time and you say, "I can't come
now. I'll come after a while., There is
no haste." But if he is in want and
trouble you say: "I must go right away.
I must go now." To -day Jesus stretches
out before you two wounded hands, and He
begs you to come. Go and you live. Stay
away and you die. Oh, that to Him who
bought us we might give all -our time and
,all our prayers and all our successes. I
would we could think of nothing else, but
come, to Christ. He is so fair. • He is so
loving. He is so sympathizing. He is so
good. I wish we could put our arms
around His neck and say: "Thine, Lord,
will I be forever." Oh that you would
begin to love Him. Would that I could
take, this audience and wreathe it around
the heart of my Lord Jesus Christ.
A WONDERFUL CITY LITTLE KNOWN.
Budapest, the Capital of Hungary -Its
Growth and Peculiarities.
Joseph Pennell in the Century for June:
To the world at large Budapest, the capital
and metropolis of Hungary, els tbe least
known of all the important cities of Europe.
Seyeral reasons may be assigned for this
comparative obscurity. But the most im-
portant is the simplest of all; the Budapest
of to -day is so new that the world has not
had time to make its acquaintance. Its
people justly ciaim for it the most rapid
growth in recent years of all the European
capitals, and are fond of likening its wonder-
ful expansion to that of San Francisco, Chi-
cago and other American cities.
The finest single street in Budapest is the
Andrassy-strassen a_ broad boulevard con-
iitecting the innet city with the "Stadt-
avaldchen." The kndrassy-strasse is per-
fectly straight and two miles long. It was
Planned with consummate art, and is one of
the most beautiful and effective streets in
Europe.
It is divided into three parts by the
"Pctagon platz," where it crosses the larger
ringstrasse, ad by the "Rond platz,"
or "circus," at a point where another
encircling boulevard is eventually to
cross. As it emerges from the
Octagon platz and the Rond platz
the street grows successively wider,
although this would hardly be noticed
by the casual passer. The first third
of the distance is devoted to fine build-
ings of varied architecture, but general,
conformity, built solidly on the street
line. The next third contains houses hav-
ing narrow foregardens of a prescribed
. witdh. The last third-, a distance of two-
thirds of a mile, is devoted to separate
villa -like residences, all at equal distance
from the sidewalks, and, with infinite.
variety of architectural detail, conforming
to the regular street plan. The vista from
the entrance of this street to its. end in the
shady Stadtvialdchen is very beautiful.
The broad central drive -way is paved with
wooden blocks on a solid concrete founda-
.tion. The sidewalks are of asphalt, the
narrower driVeways net the sidewalks are
paved with square cut stone blocks, and
the equestrian courses, which are between
the central and the outer driveways, are
graveled. The average- of architectural
merit is very high, and the absence of any-
thing that can mar the general effect is an
important element in the success of this
public improvement.
The illustration of Budapest is a mon-
opoly in the hands of a private gas com-
pany. The city obtains gas for the street
purposes at reduced rates; it obliges the
company to mitigate its charge to consum-
ers in accordance with a sliding scale based
upon the increase in aggregate consump-
tion; and, moreover, it collects very heavy
taxes from the company. .
Street transportation has also been kept
under control by the municipality: ',A
united tramway. system pays street rentale
and large ta.xes. The company's fares are
fixed by law, and it is required that work-
ing people shall be carried at reduced rates
in the morning and evening. At the ex-
piration of charters, the street railway
lines and their equipment u ill bedome the
property of the city, without indemnity to
the private owners.
L
Glasgow's Song Birds.
Glasgow is famous among Scotch cities
.for its captive song birds. Belgian ca-
naries bred in Glasgow often fetch as high
as £10 apiece, and the linnets, goldfinches
and various croes breeds are equally famous
and valuable. The skylark is freque-etly
caged in Glasgow, and the bird sings,
though it does not breed, in captivity.
The captive skylark often- retain,s much of
its native wildness, and when approached
flies madly about its cage, beating its head
against the bars. It has been discovered
that the male skylark in capeivity will feed
yOtuag larks brought in from the field,
though the female neglects them. The
bird shows of Glasgow are famous and popu-
lar.
H. R. Marcy, of Forsyth, Mont., lute the
head of a deer that has three irregular
horns on each side and nine irregular horns
in front, between the two larger ones. The
side horns are nine inches in length. and
those in front from one to four inches in
length.
The Uses For Eggs.
There are very few farmers who ever
give a thought to the various uses to whiola
eggs are adapted. The general supposition
is that all eggs are shipped to market and
there sold for human consumption. - Such,
however' is far from being the case. Eggs
are usedin putting the finishing glare on:
calico, gilding, in clarifying liquors, in book
binding and in photography. In the pre-
paration of photographic paper alone, mul-
lions of eggs are annually used, one Euro-
pean establishment being credited with the
consumption of oyer 4,000,000 eggs annually
for this purpose. No vegetable or animal
eubstitute for albumen has yet been found,
and a prize of $2,500 offered thirty years
ago ie England for such a discovery, is still
unclaimed.
The yolke of eggs are solidified anti need
in Europe in the arts; It seems strange
that with our large canning industries we
have not yet seen canned or condensed eggs
that should surely be available for cooking
purposes. With such an industry for our
surplus supply when eggs are plentiful, we
should be able to avoid the love prices that
have lately been ruling for eggs, and also be
in a position to partly supply the consump•
tive demand of other countries.
