D. TALMAGE SPEAKS OF HIM THAT IS
ABOVE ALL
Christ the Over -Topping Figure of All
Time—The Alpha and Omega, the
First and the Last—"Above AIL"
Losencres, July 31.—Since his return from
Russia, Dr. Talmage has been literally
- flooded with invitattOns to address congre-
gations and lyceums on the subject of Isis
sourney to the land of the Czar. During
the week he has been prnaching in the lead-
ing Scottish citiea His arrangements for
next week include services at Newcastle
and Sunderland, and thereafter he goes to
the Isle of Man for a few days. The ser-
mon selected for this week is entitled "Pre-
eminent," the text being, John 3, 31, "He
that cometh from above is above all."
The most conspicuous character of history
steps out upon the platform. The finger
which, diamonded with light, pointed down
to him from the Bethlehem sky, was only a
ratification of the fipger of prophecy, tlie
finger of genealogy, the finger of chronology,
tile finger of events—all five fingers' point-
ing in one direction. Christ is the
overtopping figure of all 'time. He is the
vox humana in all music, the gracefulest
line in all sculpture, the most exquisite
mingling of lights and shades in all paint-
ing, the acme of all climaxes, the dome of
all cathe,dralled grandeur,- and the perora-
tion of all splendid language.
The Greek alphabet is made up of twenty-
four letters, and when Christ compared
Himself to the first letter and the last let-
ter, the alpha and omega, He appropriated
to Himself all the splendors that you can
spell out either with these two letters and
all letters between them. "I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the first
and the last." Or, if you prefer the words
of the text, "above all."
First, Christ must be above all else in
our preaching. There are so • many
books on homiletics scattered through the
world that all laymen, as well as all
cleegymen, have made up their minds what
sermons ought to be. That sermon is
most effectual which most pointedly puts
forth Christ as the pardon of all sin and
the correction of all evil, individaal, so-
cial, political, national. There is no reason
why we should, ring the endless changes
on a few phrases. There are those who
think that if an exhortation or a discourse
have frequent mention of justification, sanc-
tification, coveuant of works and covenant
of grace, thattherefore it must be profound-
ly evangelical, while they are suspicious of
• discouree which presents the same truth,
bat under different phraseology. Now, I
say there is nothing in all the opulent
realm of Anglo-Saxonism or all the Word
treasures that we inherited from the Latin
and the Greek and the Indo-European, but
we have a right to marshal it in religious
discussion. Christ sets the example. His
illustrations were from the wags, the flow -
ors, the spittle, the salve, the barnyard
fowl, the crystals of salt as well ae from
the seas and the gars ; and we do not pro-
pose in our Sabbath School teaching and
m our pulpit address to be put on the
limits.
I know that there is a great deal said in
our day against words, ea though they
were nothing. They may be misused, but
they have an imperial power. They are
the bridge between soul and soul, between
Almighty God and the human race. What
did God write upon the tables of stones?
Words. What did Christ utter on Mount
Olivet? Words. Out of what did Christ
atrike the spark for the illumination of the ,
universe ? Out of words. "Let there be
light," and light svas.
When we oorne to set forth the love of
Christ we are going to take the tenderest
phraseology wherever we find it, and if it
• has never been used in that direction before,
all the more shall we use it. ineu we
come to speak of the glory of Clirist, the
Conqueror, we are going to draw our sitniles
from triumphal arch and oratorio and every-
thing grand and stupendous. The French
navy have eighteen flags by which they
make signals ; but those eighteen flags they
can put into sixty-six thousand diffecent
combinations. And I have to tell you that
these standards of the Cross may be lifted
into eombinations infinite and varieties
everlasting. And let me say to young men
who are after a while going to preach Jesus
elitist, you will have the lore -est liberty
and unlimited resource. Yott only have to
present Christ in your own way.
aeptirture from tips 'Me Dy 'death, anti the

After all, there are only tWo styles of
1 departure, the death of the righteous and
1 the death of -the wicked, and we all want to
die the former. God grant that when that
hour comes- you may be at home! You
! want the hand of your kindred in your
hand. You want your children to surround
I you. You want the light. on your pillow
from eyes that have long reflected your
love. You want the room still: You do
not want any curious strangers standing
1, around watching you. You want your kin-
' chhd from afar to hear your last prayer. I
t think that is the wish of all of us. But is
' that all? Can earttly friends hold us when_
the billows of death cotne up to the girdle?
Can human voice charm open heaven's
gate? Can human hands pilot us through
the narrows of death into heaven's harbor?
Can an earthly friendship shield us from
the arrows of death and in the hour when
Satan shall practice upon us his infernal
archery? No, no,no, no ! . Alas !
poor soul, - if that is all. • Better
die in the wilderness, far from tthe shadow
and from fountain, alone, vultures circling
L through the air smiting for our body, un-
known toxnen, and to have no burial, if
only Christ could say through the solitudes,
"I will, never leave thee; I will never for-
sake thee." From that pillow of stone a
ladder would epar heavenward, angels com-
ing and going s and across the solitude and
the barrennesewouid come the sweet notes
of heavenly minstrelsy.
Dr. Taylor, condemned to burn, at the
stake, on his way thither, broke away from
the guardsmen and went bounding and
leaping and jumping toward the fire, glad
to go to Jesus and to die for Him. Sir
Charles Hare, in his last moment, had such
rapturous vision that he cried : "Upward,
upward, upward !" And .so great was
thepeace of one of. Christ's disciples that
he put his fingers upon the pulse in his
Wrist and counted it and observed 'it ;
and so great was his placidity that after
a while he said, "stopped," and his life
had ended here to begin in Heaven. But
grander than that was the testimony of the
worn-out first missionary, when; in the
Mamartine dungeon, he cried: "1 tun
now ready- to be offered, and the time of
my departure is at hand ; I have fought
the good tight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith ; henceforth there is
laid up for me a Crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will
'give me in that day, and not to Inc only.
but to'all them that love His appearing !"
f Do you not see that Christ is above all in
dying alleviations?,
Toward. the last hour of our earthly
residence we are Speeding. When I see
the sunset, I say, "One day less to live."
When I see the spring blossoms scattered,
I say, . "Another Sabbath departed."
When 1 bury a friend, I- say, "Another
earthly attraction gone forever." What
nimble feet the years have ! The roe-
buck and the lightnings run not iso fast.
From decay to decay, from sky to sky,
they go at a bound. There is a plaec for
us, whether marked or not, where you
and I will sleep the last sleep, and the
men are now living who will, with
solemn tread, carry - us to our resting
place. Ay, it is known in Heaven whether
our departure will be a coronation ' or a
banishment. Brighter than a banquetiug
hall through which the light feet of the
dancers go up and down to the sound of
trumpeters will be the sepulchillS through
• whose rifts the holy light of Heaven stream-
eth. God will watch you. He will send
His angels to guard your slumbering
ground, until, at Christ's behest, they shall
roll away the stone.
So also, Christ is above all in -heaven.
The Bible distinctly says, that Christ is the
chief theme of the celestial ascription, all
the thrones facing Hie throne, all the palms
waved before His face, all the crowns
down at His feet._ Cherubim to cherubim,
seraphim to seraphim, redeemed. spirit to
redeemed spirit shall recite the Saviour's
earthly sacrifice.
Stand. on some high hill of heaven, and
in all the radiant sweep the most glorious
object will he Jesus. Myriads gazing on
the sears of His suffering, in sileuce-first,
afterwards bracing forth into acclamation.
The martyrs, all the purer for the flame
through which they pima, will say:
"Thiel is Jams for IVhom .we died." The
apostles, all the happier for the shipwreck
anti the scourging through which they
went, will say : "This is the Jesus Whom
we preached at Corinth, and at Cappadoeia,
and at Antioch, and at Jerusatem." Little
children dressed in white will say: "Thie
is the Jeans who took us in His arms anti
blessed us, and when the storms of the
world were too cold and loud brought us
into this beautiful place. The multitudes
of the bereft $ill say :-,"This is the Jesus
who comforted tie When our heart broke."
Mtuiy wile had wandered clear off from
God and plunged into vagabondism, but
'vAre saved by grace, will says: "This is
the Jesus who pardoned us. We were lost
on the motubtains, and He brought us
home. We were guilty, and he made us
white as snow. -Nlercy boundless, grace
unparalleled." And' then, after each one
has recited his peculiar deliverancee and pe-
culiar merciee, recited them as by solo, all
the .soices will come together in a great
chorus, which shall make the arches echo
and re-echo witli the eternal reverberation of
gladness and pace and trinniph.
Jonathan Edwards _preached Christ in
the severest exponent ever penned, and
John Bunyan preached Christ in the sub -
Ernest allegory ever compoeed. Edward
Payson, sick anti exhausted, leaned up
againstthe side of the pulpit and wept
out his discourse, while George Whitefield,-
winh the manner and the voice and the start
of an actor, overwhelmed his auditory. it
would have been a different thing if
Jonathan Edwards had trieti t .write and
illreauted akout the pilgrim's progrees to the
celestial city, or John Bunyan leui at tempt-
ed an eeftty on the human will. Brighter
than the lighte fresher than the fountains.
deeper than the sea a aro all these Goaper
themes. Oh, what a Gospel to preach !
Christ over all in it. His lairds, His suffer-
ing, His miracles, His parables. His sweat,
His tease,. His ),cod, His atonettieut,. His
intercessions -what glorious themes 1 o we
exercise faith? Christ is its object, Do we
have love? It fastens on Jeeps-. Have we a
foudnessfor the church? it is beeituee. Christ
died for it. Have sve 8 hope of heaven? It
is because Jesus heat -ahead,. the herald and
the forerunner. •
"Oh, in sins, my Nina," said Martin
Luther to Stattpitz, "my sins, my sins r
The fact is, that the brassie.- German stu-
dent had found a Latin Bit& that had made
him quake, and nothing elee ever did make
him quake; and when he found how,
through Christ, he was pardoned and saveti,
he wrote to a friend, saying: "Come over
aud join us, great ands awful sinners saved
by the grace- of God. ::You seem to be 'only
a slender sinner, and yoii don't Much extol
the mereis of God; but. we who have been
such very awful sinners praise His grace
the more now that we have been redeemed."
Can it be that you are so desperately
egotistical that you feel yourself in first-
rate spiritual tritn, and that from the root
of the hair to the tip ci the toe you- are
seadess and iminaeukete ? What you need
is a looking -glass, and here it is in the
Bible. Poor, and wretched, and miserable,
and blind. and naked beim the crown:of the,
bead to the sole of the foot, full of wounds '
and putrefying sores. No health in usA
And then take the fact that Christ gathered.
up all the notes against us and paid them,
and then offered as the receipt.
And how much we need Him in oar sor-
rows: We are iodependent of circum-
stances if we haere His grace. Why, He
made Paul sing in the dungeon, and under
that grace St. John from desolate Patmos
heard the blast of the apocalyptic trumpets.
After all other candles have been snuffed
out, this ie the light that, gets brighter and
brighter and brighter unto the perfect day;
and after, under the hard hoofs of calamity,
all the pools of wordly enjoyment, have
been trampled into deep mire, at the foot of
the eternal rock, the Christian, from cups
of granite, lily rimmed and vine covered,
pats out the Writ of his soul.

free and happy people, dwelling in peace
and prosperity from the folds of that red
cross banner which is the symbol of liberty
for the oppressed in every clime. Not
merely one Pacific Railways but half a dozen
shall stretch across the continent, uniting
the Occident and the Orient, along which
shall throb the pulses, of commerce. Great
citiee renowned as marts of trade through-
out the world shall stand thick along these

realized we must lay broad and deep and
sure and stable its foundation in those
principles of integrity and righteousness
which are the sure defence of nations.
These shall be the pledge of the perman-
-ence of our institutions, these shall be the
corner -stone of our national greatness.
We owe much to the God-fearing Men who
a century ago laid the foundations of this
commonwealth. We must build thereon in
the same spirit of reverence for God's laws
by which they were characterized. It is
our proud boast ,that uowliere on earth is
the Sabbath Day so honored as in this land;
nowhere is the Sanctity of the family so
maintained. There have not been, I be-
lieve, 100 divorces in 100 years in this broad
Dominion. Nowhere is there a public press
of purer charaester or of higher moral tone.
Without undue self -laudation we may say
of our country, "Happy is the people whose
God is the Lard; yea, happy is the people
that is in such a case." -Rev. Dr. Withrow
in his address in "The Pilgrim Fathers of
Upper Canada."
Aristocracy and Good Looks.
As a matter of fact, there is scarcely any
connectiou between aristocracy, even demo-
cratic aristocracy, and a good profile. The
more complete the system of caste, the more
absolutely it is dissevcred from anything re-
lating to external appearance. The social
inferior looks up to the superior, . as one of
Dickens' "reverential wives" looks up to
her husband, -with a reverence not impaired'
.by any loneliness of features. Rufus
Choate said to Chief Justice Shaw of
Massachusetts, who was one of the
plainest Of men : "I feel toward him as
the South Sea Islander feels toward „his
idol; he sees that he is ugly, but he
knows that he is great.' The moat
striking case perhaps of this complete
reversal of judgment under the influence
of caste is to be found in these two tribes
described by the author of "Two Happy
Years in Ceylon," the Rock Veddalis and
Rodiyas• The Rock Veddalis are stunted;
hideous and filthy • they lave in secluded
eaves and holes; tey eat bats and rats,
and make their scanty clothing from the
bark of trees ; but the Singhalese regard
them as of the very highest caste, and it
would be no disgrace for a woman of good
social position to ntarry a Rock Veddah.
On the other hand, the very greatest dis-
grace that could be inflicted upou such a
woman would be to marry her to a Rodiya,
although these last are a race distinguish-
ed for beauty, at least in youth,
and gentle and innocent by nature.
The Rodiyas cannot enter a temple or
a village ; they are forbidden to tell th
soil or draw water from a well; they cannot
build a house or divide a burden into two
iinndles; their shadows must not fall on a
stream lest, it be polluted; no member of an-
other caste may touch them without dis-
grace; yet anyone may shoot them without
blame, All this is supposed to be in conse-
quence of the act of an ancestor 2;000 years
ago, who inveigled a king into eating human
fleeli. As a consequence the beautifnl race
is at the foot of the social scale, the ugly
and the repulsive at the top. Yet which of
U8 has not encountered hi .ordinary society
the representatives of the Rptliyas and the
Rock Veddalts?--T. W. Higgson, in Har -
per's Bazar.

• "It is s matter of surprise to me," re-
marked a man who is a keen observer, re-
cently, " that half the children of this
country don't grow up minus an arm."
" But wherefore?' asked the person to
whom he was speaking.
"Here is an illustration," continued the
first speaker; "do you see that woman
walking with a Tittle child? Now, notice
her when she ero-ss the street."
At the corner the woman lifted the child
by one arm ; it dangled in the air and its
feet did not touch the ground until jt was
across the street, when the mother dropped
it on the sidewalk.
"Well, the arm held, didn't it?"
"But," continued the philosopher, "I
v. -as afraid at one time it would be wrenched
from its socket. Now that is a sight you
can witness every hour in the day, mothers
dragging children out of street cars, across
the street or up a flight of stairs by one arm.
