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

mission nt into • a army Airing the
war there was a great mul'titude*htingry
men and only a few loaves ot b d, and
the delegate of the Commission was cutting
the bread and giving it out --to •weundedaand
dying men. 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.

SUBM i#GINGeTHE BULLION-
How the Old 1401,y of Threadneedle

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.

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

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
