A Stirring $ersao=- on tllate—"What Sham I DO With Jesus''—The Eloquent Pr her` Toils fl1. Renters let en Should do With Jesus. I.orenoee, England, July 3, 1892. Dr. Talmage continues to receive from all classes of the English people the warmest of welcomes, and theheartiest greetings. The work of arranging his tour has been exceeding difficult ` So numerous were the invitations awaiting him that to accept some and decline others` equally pressing seemed invidious. Wherever he has gone the largest churches in the cities have been crowded to excess and could have been fill- ed many times over. Among the sermons he has preached, the one selected for pub- lication this; wee]: is from the text, Mat- thew 27,22, "What shall I do with Jesus ?" Pilate was an unprincipled politician: He had sympathies, convictions of right, and desires to be honest; but all these were submerged by a wish to be popular, and to please the people. Two distinguished pris- oners were in the grasp of government, and the proposition was made to free one of thein. There stands Barabbas, the mur- derer ; there stands Christ, the Saviour of the world. At the demand of the people the renegade is set free, but Jesus is held. As the hard -visaged and cruet -eyed Barab- bas goes among his sympathizers, receiving their coaree congratulations, Pilate turns to his other distinguished pri'sorier—mild, meek, inoffensive, loving, 'self-sacrificing— and he is confounded as to what 'course he had better take, so he impanels the mob' et- a jury to decide, saying to them : "What shall I do then with Jesus'." Oh, it isno dried or whithered question, but one.that throbs with warm and quick pulse in the heart of every man and woman here. We must do something with Jesus. He is here. You and I are not ao certainly here as he is, for he fills all this place—the loving, living, dying Christ -and each one of us , will have to ask and answer for himself the question, "What shall I do then with Jesus?" Well, my friends, there are three or four things you can do with Hiro. You can, in the first place, let Him stand' without a word of recognition ; but I do not think your sense of common courtesy will allow that. He comes walking on such a long Tourney, you will certainly give Him a chair on which He may sit. He is so - weary, you would not let him stand with- out some recognition. If a beggar comes to your door, you recognize him and ay, "What do you want ?" If you meet a stranger faint in the street , you say, "What is the matter with you ?" and your common humanity, and your common sympathy, and your common sense of propriety will not allow you to let Him stand without, re- cognition—the wounded One of the hills. You will ask, What makes Him weep ? where was He hurt ? who wounded Him ? whence He came ? whither He goes? I know there have been men who have with out- rageoue indifference hated Christ, but I know very well that that is not what yhu will do with Jesus. Another thing that you can do with Him you can thrust Him back fromour heart, and tell Him to stand aside. If an offen- sive person comes and persists in standing close up to you, and you have in various ways given him to understand that you do not want his presence or his society, then you ask the reason of his impertinence and bid him away. Well, that is what we can do with Jesus. He has stood close by us a great while—ten, twenty, thirty, forty years. He has stood close by you three times a day, breaking bread for your household, all night watching.by your pil- low. He has been in the nursery among your children, He has been in the store among your goods, He has been in the fac- tory amid the flying wheels, and now if you do not like His society you can bid Him away; aye, it He will not go you can take him by the throat and tell Hint you do not want His interference, that you do not want his breath on you cheek, that you do not want is eye on your behavior. You can bid Him away, or if He will not go in that way, then you can stamp your foot, as you would a dog, and cry, "Begone !". Yet I know you will not treat Jesus that way. Whets Pilate could not do that, you could not. Desperadoes and outlaws might do so, but I know that that is not the way you will treat Him; that that is not what yon will do withJesus. There is another thing you can do with Him; you can look on Him merely as an optician to cure blind. eyes, or an aurist to tune deaf ears, a friend, a good friend, a helpful com- panion, a cheerful passenger on shipboard but that will amount to nothing. You can look upon Him as a God, and' be abashed while He rouses the storm, or blasts a fig - tree, or heaves a rock down the mountain side. That will not do you any good ; no more save your soul than the admiratiogi you have for John Milton or William Shakespeare. I can think of only one more thing you can do with Jesus, and that is to take Him into your hearts. That is the best thing you can do with him ; that. is the only safe thing you can do with Him, and may the Lord Omnipotent by His Spirit help me to persuade you to do that. A minister of Christ was speaking to some children, and said, "I will point you to Christ." A little child rose in the audience and came up and put her hand in the hand of the pastor, and said, "Please, sir, take me to Jesus now. I want to go now." Oh, that it, might be now with such sim- plicity of experience that you and I join hands and seek after Christ, and get an ex pression,of His benefaction and His mercy ! You may take Christ intoyour confidence. If you cannot trust Him, whom can you trust ? I do not offer you a dry, theologi- cal technicality. I simply ask you to come and put both feet on the "Rock of Ages." Take hold of Christ's hands and draw Him to your soul with perfect abandonment, and hurl yourself into the deep sea of His merc. He comes and says, "I will save you."If you do not think he is a hypo- crite and a liar when He says that, believe 7m and say, "Lord Jesus, I believe ; here is my heart. Wash it. . Save it. Do it now. Ay, it is done ; for I obey Thy pro- mise and come. I can do no more. That is all Thou hath asked, I come. Christ is mine. Pardon is mine. Heaven is mine. Why, my friends, you put more trust in everybody than you do in Christ, and in everything ; more treat in the bridge cross- ing the stream in the ladder up the loft ; more trust in the stove that confines the fire; more trust in the cook that prepares your food; more trust in the clerk that writes your books, in the druggist that makes the medicine, in the bargain -maker with whore you trade; more trust in all these things than in Christ, although He stands this moment offering without Iimi.t, and without mistake, and without exception, universal pardon to all. who want it. Now, is not -that cheap . enough—all things tor nothing ? This is the whole of the Gospel, as I under- stand it, that if you believe that Christ died to save you, you are saved. When ? Now. No more doubt about it than that you have a right band. Nc more doubt about it than that there is a God. If you had committed five hundred thousand transgressions, Christ would forgive you just as freely as if you had never committed but one ; though you had gone through the whole catalogue of crimes—arson, and blas- phemy, and murder—Christ would pardon you just as freely, you coming to Him as though you had committed only the slight- est sin of the Longue. Whv. when Ohriet THE HURON EXPOS TOR. comes to pardon a soul, 8e stops tor.noth- ing. Height is nothing. Dasth is nothing. Enormity is nothing. Protractedness is nothing.

Some came up and said, "Cut ,4hose slices thinner, or there will not be enough to go round." " And then the dele- gate -ant the elites very thin,- and -handed the bread aroun4 until they had all had some, but not much. But, blessed be God, there is no need of economy in this Gospel. Bread for all ; -bread enough and to spare. Why perish with hunger ? Again, I advise you, as one of the best things you can do with Christ, to take Him into your love. Now, there are two things which make us love any one—inherent at- tractiveness, and then what he does in the way of kindness toward us. Now, Christ is in both these positions. Inherent attrac- tiveness, fairer than the children of men, the lustre of the morning in His eye, the glow of the setting sun in His cheek. myrrh and frankincense in the breath of His lip. In a heaven of holy beings, the beat.. In a heaven of mighty ones, the strongest. In a heaven of great hearts, the tenderest and the most synipatheti_c. Why, sculpture has never _ yet been able to chisel His form, nor painting to present the flush of His cheek, nor music to strike His charms; and the greatest surprise of eternity will be the first moment when we rush into his presence, and with uplifted hands and streaming eyes and heart`bonnd- ing with rapture, we cry out, " Thie is J esus !" All over glorious ism Lord, He must be loved and yet adored ; His worth, if all the nations knew, Sure,, the whole earth would love him too. Has he not done enough to win our af- fections ? Peter the Great, laying aside royal authority, went down among the ship carpenters to help them ; but Russia got the chief advantage of that condescension: John Howard turned his back upon the refinements, and went around prisons to spy out their sorrows and relieve their wrongs, but English criminals got the chief advantage of that ministry. But when Christ comes, it is for you and me. The tears for you and me. The crucifixion for you and me. If I were hopelessly in debt, and some one came and paid my debts and gave me a receipt in full, and called off the pack of hounding creditors ; if, I were on. a foundering ship, and you came in a life- boat and took me off, could I ever forget your kindness ? Would I ever allow any opportunity to pass without rendering you a service or attesting my gratitude and love ? Oh, how ought 'we to feel to- ward Christ who plunged into the depth of sin and plucked us out ? Ought it not to set ,the very best emotions of our heart into the warmest, ay, a red-hot glow ? The story is so old that people almost get asleep while they are hearing it. And yet there He hangs—J esus the man, Jesus the God. Was there anything before or since, any- thing to be compared to this spectacle of generosity and woe ? Did heart -strings ever snapwith a worse torture ? Were tears (wes' charged with a heavier grief ? Did, blood ever gush, in each globule the price of a soul ? The wave of earthly ma- lice dashed its bloody foam against one foot, the wave of infernal malice dashed against His other foot, while the storm of God's wrath against sin beat on His thorn - pierced brow, and a14 the hosts of darkness with gleaming lances rampaged through His holy soul. Oh, see the dethronement of heaven's King ! 'tile Conqueror fallen from the white horse ! the massacre of a God ! Weep, ye who have tears, over the loneliness of His exile and the horrors of His darkness. Christ sacrificed on the funeral pyre of a world's . transgression, the good for the bad, the great for the mean; the infinite for the finite, the God for the man. Oh, if there be in all this audience one person un- touched by this story of the Saviour's love, show me where he is, that I may mark the monster of ingratitude and ot crime. If you could see Christ as He is you would rise from your seat and fling yourselves down at his feet, crying, "My -Lord, my light, my love, my joy, my peace, my strength, my expectation, my heaven, my all ! Jesus ! Jesus !" Oh, can you not love Him ? Do you want more of His tears. Why, He had shed them for all you. He has no more. Do you want more of His blood ? His arteries were eneptied dry, and the iron hand of agony could press out nothing more. Would you put Him to worse ex- cruciation? Then drive another nail into His hand, and plunge another spear into His side, and twist another thorn into His crown, and lash Him with another fla me of infernal torture ! "No ; " says some one ; "Stop ! stop ! He shall not be smitten again. Enough the tears. Enough the blood. Enough the torture. Enough the agony " "Enough," cries earth. "Enough," cries Heaven. Ay, "Enough," cries hell. At last enough. Oh, look at Him thy butchered Lord, un - shrouded and ghastly, as they flung Him from the tree, His wounds gaping for a bandage. Are there no hands . to close those eyes ? Then let the sun go out and there be midnight. Howl, ye winds, and howl, ye seas, for your Lord is dead. ` Oh, what more could He havedone for you and for me than He has done ? Could He pay a bigger price ? Could He drink a more bitter cup ? Could He plunge into aworse catastrophe ? And can you not love Him ? Groan again, Oblessed Jesus, that they may feel Thy sacrifice ! Groan again. Put the four fingers and they thumb of Thy wound- ed hand upon them, that the gash in the palm may strike their soul, and Thy warm life may bleed into them. .Groan again, 0 Jesus, and see if they will not feel. Oh, what will you do with such a Christ as that ? You have got to do something with Him this morning. What will you do with ,Jesus ? Will you slay Him again by your sin ? Will you spit upon Him again Will you crucify Him again ? What will you do with Hint who has loved you with more than a brother's love, more than a father's love, yea, more than . a mother's love, through all these years. Oh, it it not enough to make the hard heart of the rock break ? Jesus ! Jesus ! What shall we do with Thee? I have to say that the question will after a while change, and it will not be what we shall do with Christ, but what will Christ do with us ? Ring alt the bells of eternity at the burning of the world. In that day what do you think Christ will db with us ? Why, Christ will say "There is that man whom I palled. There is that woman whose soul I importuned. But they would not any of my way. I gave them innumerable opportunites of .salvation. Tbey rejected them all. Depart ; I never knew you.", Blessed be God, that day has not come. Halt, ye destinies of eternity, and give us one more chance. One more chance, and this is it. Some travellers in the wilderness of Australia a few years ago found. the skeleton of a man and some of his garments, and a rusty kettle on which the man had written or scratched with his finger -nail these words "to, trod I am dying of thirst. My brain is on fire. My tongue is ,hot. God help me in the wilderness.'' Oh, how suggestive of trig condition of those who die in the wilderness of sin through thirst. We take hold of them to -day. We try to bring Guam tine cola water of the rook to tneir lips, We say, "Ho, every one that thiret- eth 1" God thy Father awaits thee.

SUBM i#GINGeTHE BULLION- How the Old 1401,y of Threadneedle Street Pratects Her Treasures. The Bank of England ie considered to be one of the best protected institutions in the world as regards theft either from em- ployes or „outsiders. .A-.clIrk r _simply pressing a knob under hie desk, close the (filter doors instantly, so finely' are they balanced, and it is impossible to open them again exceptby special process. This -is to prevent the daring and ingenious unem- ployed of the great metropolis from robbing the famous institution. The bullion depart- ment of this and other great English bank- ing establishments are nightly submerged in several feet of water by the action of the machinery. In some of the London banks the bullion departments are connected with the manager's sleeping rooms, and an en- trance cannot be effected without setting off an alarm near the person's head. If a dishonest official during the day or night should take even as much as one from a pile of 1000 sovereigns the whole pilewonld instantly sink and a pool of water take its place, besides letting every person in the establishment know of the theft.

The Literary Society of Finland is by far the most active, as it is the oldest society of folk -lore in the world. It was establish- ed in 1831 in order to gather oral material as well as manuscripts relating to the arch- Eeology and linuistics of the race. The vari- ous pieces of folk -lore now in manuscript in the library amounts to more than 110,000 nu mbers. Father Bill's Leg. Many are the good stories told about "Father Bill" Daly, the veteran turfman, but the following, told by a well-known horseman to a newspaper man, is new to many : "Old Bill was training a horse for an underdone Anglo -maniac," the story goes, "and as the horse had bad legs it Was necessary to keep him standing in a tub of hot water for an hour in the morning to get the inflammation out. The dude came along one day just as Daly had put the horse's forward legs in the hot water, and pulling off his gloves he stuck his fingers in the water and pulled them out blistered. 'Mr. Daly 1 Mr. Daly !' he yelled ; 'you will scald this horse to death. It's cruelty—gross cruelty—to subject a horse to such torture, and I want you to understand, Mr. Daly, that I think you just horrid to do such a thing.' "Father Bill sized him up very slowly, and said : 'Young man, you are full of prunes. The water is not too hot. I'll bet $20 that I can hold my foot in it for five minutes without a murmur.' "The dude skinned a twenty off his roll and laid it on the straw, and Father Bill put a double eagle on it to ,hold it down, and stuck his artificial leg in the tub. At the end of five minutes the young man walked away disgusted, and as Daly folded up the bill and returned the double eagle to its place in his purse, a little colored boy who had been on the verge of an explosion while the bet was being de- eided, said : 'For de Lord's sake, Mas Daly, why didn't you bet more than $20 when you knowned you had a dead sure thing?' " 'Twant no dead cinch,' says Fathee Bill, 'and twenty is all I'll bet on my memory -it's gettin' so uncertain of late years. S'posin' I'd forgotten and stuck the wrong foot in the tub ? " Why Red Angers an Ox. The reason why anything of a red color excites and infuriates the ox tribe is be- cause red is the complementary color of green, and the eyes of ozen being long fixed upon the green herbage while feeding, when they espy anything red it impresses their sight with a greatly increased inten- sity, The same effect is doubtless prodhced apon all grazing animals by a red color_ but oxen, being more pugnacious than others, show greater excitement and often attack that which surprise them, -- London Answers. Buying Honey. An 7Irishman's wife sent him to a drug store for some honey. J Re forgot the name but remembered how it was made, and had a painful memory of having come in contact with the fire department of the honey maker, so be asked the druggist for " some swats oil, made by a vicious little baste with a hot fut." The man of drugs not compre- hending the man, called his wife to aid him In interpreting the words of the son of Erin. In the call he addressed her as " Honey." "That's what I mane," said Patrick.
