LONDON, Sept. 4.—A cold wind checked the ardor of many who otherwise doubtless would have gone to Hyde park to -day to - hear the Rev. Dr. Taltnage preach.- Never- theless there was a big crowd present, most of them listening attentively, but many of them kept moving in order to counteract the rawness of the weather. Dr. Talmage • announced that he would hold services on Wednesday in the Crystal palace. He then will go to Ireland to see Belfast and Dublin, and about the 15th will sail from Queens- town to New York on the steamer City of Paris. The great outpourings to hear Dr. Tal- mage preach continue. Probably the greatest demonstration during the past month Was that at the Town Hall, Birmingham, when he delivered three addresses the same even- ing to audiences aggregating 20,000 persons. At Sheffield, Derby, Leicester, Exeter and Bristo1 also, phenomenal audiences assem- bled, the most cordial welcotne being every- where accorded him. The sermon selected . for publication this week is entitled: "Cee lestiai Se-mpathizers," the text being taken • front 1. Cor. 15.: 32: "I have fought with beasts at Ephesus;" and Hebrews 12! 1: "Speing we also are compassed about With so great a cloud of witnesses." Crossing the Alps by the Mont Cenis Pass, or through the Mont Cenis Tunnel, yOu are in a few hours set down at Verona, Italy, and in a few -minutes begin examin- ing one of the grandest ruins in the world —the Amphitheatre. The, whole building sweeps around you in a circle. Yon stand in, the arena where the combat was once fought or the race run, and ori all aides the seats rise, tier above tier, until you. count forty elevations or galleries, as I shall see fit to call them, in which sat the senators, the kings, and the twenty-five thousand. excited spectators. At the sides of the arena, and under the galleries, are the cages in which the lions and tigers are kept without food, until, frenzied with hunger and thirst, they are let out upon some poor victim, who with his sword and alone, is Condemned to meet them. I think that Paul himself once stood in such • a place, and that it was not only figurative- ly, but literally, that he had "fought with beasts at Epheetts." The gala -day has come. From all the world the people are pouring into Verona. Men, women awl children, orators and senators, great men and small, thousands upon thousands come, until the first gal- lery is full, and the second, the third, . the fourth, the fifth—all the way up to the twentieth, all the wa,y up to the thirtieth, all the wayup to the fortieth. Every place is filled. Immensity of audience sweeping the great circle. Silence 1 The time for the contest has come. A Roman official leads forth the victim into the arena. Let him get his sword, with firm grip, into his right hand. The twenty-five thou- sand sit breathlessly watching. I hear the door at the side of the arena creak opon. Out plunges the half-starved lionhis tongue athirst for blood, and, with a roar that brings all the galleries to their feet, he rushes against the sword. of the combatant., - Do you how strong a stroke a man will strike when his life depends 'upon the first thrust of his blade The wild. beast, lame and bleeding, slinks back toward the side of the arena; then, rallying his wasting strength, he comes up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, only to be driven back with a fatal wound, while the combatant comes in with stroke after stroke, lentil the monster is dead at his feet, and the twenty-five thousand people clap their hands and utter a shout that makes the city tremble. Sometimes the audience „came to see a, race; sometimes to see gladiators fight each other'until the people, compassionate for the fallen, turn their thumbs down as an appeal that the vanquished be spared; and sometimes the combat was with wild beasts. To one of the Roman amplutheatrical audiences ef one hundred thousand People Paul refers' when he says : "We are com- passed about with so great' a crowd of wit- nesses." The direct referenee in the last passage is made to a reee ; lent elsewhere, having diseussed that, I take now Paul's favorite idea of the Christian life as d com- bat. The fact is, that every Christian man has a lion to fight. Yvre is a bad temper. The gates of the arena have been opened, and this tiger has come out to destroy your soul. It has lacerated you. with many a ,wound. You have been thrown by it time and again, 'but in the strength of God you have arisen to drive it beef. I verily believe you will conquer. I think that the temptation is getting weak & and weaker. e ou have givi n it so many wounds that the prospect is that it will die, and you shall be victor, through Christ. Courage, brother! Do not let the sands of the arena drink the blood of your said! Your lion is tke passion for strong drink. You may have contended against it twenty years; but it is strong of body and thirsty of tongue. You have tried to fight it back with broken bottle or empty wine -flask. Nay! that is not the weapon. With one horrible roar he will seize theeby,the throat and rend thee limb from limb. Take this weapon, sharp and keen—reach up and get it from God's armory: the Sword of the Spirit. With that thou invest drive him e back and conquer! But why specify, when every man and woman has a lion to fight. If there be one ere who has no besetting sin, let him speak Out; for him have I offended. If yoti have not fought the lion, it is because you have let the lion eat you up. This very moment the (=test goes on. The Trajan celebra- tion, where ten thousand gladiators fought, and eleven thousand wild 'beasts were slain, was not so terrific a struggle as that which at this moment goes on in many a soul. The combat was for the life of the body, that is for the life of the soul. That was withwild beasts from the jungle; this is with the mating lion. of hell. Men think, when they contend against an evil habit, that they have to fight it alone. No ! They stand in the center of an im- mense circle of sympathy-. Paul had been reciting the names of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Joseph, Gideon and Barak, and then says: "Being compassed about with so great a, cloud of witnesses." Before I get through, I will show you ▪ that you fight in an arena, around which circle, in galleries above each other, all the kindling eyes and all the sympathetic hearts of the ages ; and at every victory gained there comes down the thundering applause of a great multitude that no man can number. "Beinf,.m copassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." Ori the first el...vation of the ancient amp:iitheatre, on the day of a celebration sat Tiberius, or Augustus, or the reigning king. So, in the great arena of spectators that watch our struggles, and in the first divine gallery, as 11 eleall call it, sits our King, one Jesus. On his head Lite many crowns i The Roman Emperor got his place by cold-blooded conquests ; but our King hath come to His place by the broken hearts healed, and the tears wiped, away, and the souls redeemed. The Roman Emperor sat, with folded arms, indifferent as to whether the swordsman or the lion beat; but our King's EW111- pa es aro an win ns. Nay, u,theara-Or co dsseension. I sae Him come d4wn from She gallery into the arena to help ns in the fig t, shouting until:all up and down His vo ce is head: "rear not. I will help thee I I will strengthen thee by the right hand of My power I" Q 1 They gave to the men hi the areha, in t6 olden times, food to thicken their bleod,';so t t it would flow slowly, and that or a louger time the people might gloat over the scene. But our king has no piteente in pur wounds, for we are bone of hfe bone, fte b. of his flesh blood of his blood. Once in the ancient amphitheatre, a lion with one paw caught thecombatant's swoad, and with the other paw caught his shield. The man took his knife from his girdle and slew the beast. The king, Sitting in the gallery, said, "That was not fair ; the lion =1St be slain by a sword." Other lions were turned out and the poor victim. fell. You cry "Shaine ! shame !" at such mean- neels, But the king in this case is our brother, and he will see that we have fair play. He will forbid the ritshing out of mere lions than We can. meet ; he will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are ablc. Thank God ! The king is iii the sal- ter I Hie eyes are on us. Hie heart is with US. His hand will deliver . us. "Blessed are all they who put their trust in Ili ." i look again, and I see the angelic gal - ler . There they are: the ajigel that swung the sword at the gate of Eden, the sa. e that Ezekiel saw upholding the throne of God, and from which I look away, for the splendor is insufferable. Here are the guardian angels. That one Watclied a Pe- tri rch ; this one protected a chi d. That one has been pulling a soul out of tempta- tion ! Allthese are messengers of light ! Those drove the Spanish Arinad6. on the rocks. This turned Sennacherib's living hosts- into a heap of one hundred and eighty -live thousand corpses. Those, yon- der chanted the Christmas carol dyer Beth- leh m, until the chant awoke 'the shepherds. These, at creation, stood in the balcony of heaven and aerenaded the riew-born word wrapped in swaddling -clothes of light. An 1 there, holier and mightier than all, is Mi hael, the archangel. . To command an earthly host gives dignity ; but this one is leader of the twenty chariots of God, and of the ten thousand times ten thousand an- gels. I think God gives command to the archangel, and the archangel to the sera- phim, and the seraphim to the cherubim, until all the lower orders of, heaven hear the command, and go forth on the high 'be- hest. ' Now, bring on your lions ! Who can fear ? All the spectators in the angelic gal ery are our friends. "He Shall giye his angels charge over thee' to keep thee in 11 thy ways. They shallhear thee up in th&r hands, lest thole dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder ; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot." ough the arena be crowded with temptations, we shall, with the angelic hel , strike them down in the name of our Goc , and leap on their fallen carcasses ! 0 bendin! throng of bright angelic faces • il f e e d d cl g - d e e t - 1 1 e n t , ! d , d o ! 1 s - ancl!swift wings, and lightning foot ! 1 ha you; to -day, from the dust and . struggle o the tdrexi,a !• I look again, and I see the gallery of th prophets and apostles. Who are thos mighty ones- up yonder ? Hosea, an Jeremiah, and Daniel, and Isaiah, an Paul, and Peter, and John and James Ther -e sits Noah, waiting for all the worl to come into the ark ; and ,Moses, wait -in till the last Red Sea shall divide; and Jere mirth, waiting for the Jews to return ; an John, of the Apocalypse, waiting for th swearing of the angel that Time shall be no longer. Glorious spirits 'Ye wer howled at, ye ,were stoned ; ye were spi upon ! They have been in this fight them selves ; and they are all with -the Danie "knoshs all about lions. Paul fought Witl beasts at Ephesus. In the ancient amphitheatre, the peopl got ao excited that they would shout fro' the galleries to the men in the arena: "A it again l" "Forward. !" 'One mote stroke !' ''Look out !" "Fall back !" "Hazza, Iluzaa !" So in that gallery, prophetic an apostolic, they cannot keep their peace Daniel cries out : "Thy God will delivet thee from the mouth of the lions !". Davi exclaims : "He will not suffer thy foot t be moved !" Isaiah calls caut : "Fear not I am with a thee ! Be not dismayed !" Pau exclaims: "Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ !" That throng of prophet and apostles cannot keep still. They make the welkin ring with shouting and handl' jahs. - I look again'and I see *he gallery of the martyrs. Who is that t Hugli Latimer, sure enough ! He would not apologize, fOi the truth preached ; and so he died, the night before swinging o the bed -post in Perfect glee at the thought of emancipation. Who are that army of.klif thousand six hun- dred and sixty six ? They are the Theban Legion, who died for the faith. Here .is larger host in magnificent array—eight hun- dred and eighty-four thotisand—who perish- ed for Christ in the persecutions of Diocle- tian. Yonder is a family 'group, Felicitas, of Rome, and her childreh. While they were dying for the faith she ist4d encouraging them. One son was 'whipped to death by thorns; another was fiiuig from a rock; another was beheaded. At last the mother became a martyr. There they are together --a family group in heaven! Yonder is John Bradford, who said in the fire, "We shall have a merry supper with the Lord to- night !" Yonder is Heary Vacs, who ex- claimed as he died, "If I had ten heads, they should all fall 'A: for Christ!" The great throng of the martters! They had hol lead poured down tlifOir throats; horses were fastened to their hands, and other horses to their feet, and thus they were pulled apart; they had their tongues pulled out by red hot pincers; • they were sewn up in the skins of animals and then thrown to the dogs, they were daubed with conbusti- bles and set on fire. f. all the martyrs' stakes that have been kindled could be set at proper distances, they would make the niidnight, all,the world over, bright as noonday! • And now they sit yonder in the maetyhee gallery. For them the fires of persecution jiave gone oat. The swords are Sheathed and the mob hushed. Now they wat01 us with an all: obsen ing sympathy. They know all the pain, all the hardshipAthe anguish, all the, injustice, all the privation. They cannot keep still. They cry t',"Courage ? The fire will not consume. Plid,fibods cannot drown. The liens cannot devour d Courage ! Down there in the arena." What, are they all hicicing ? This night we answer back the, helutation they give and cr e "Hail ! sonetariel daughters of the lire!"i - I lo k again, and I kJ+ another gallery, that o eminent Chriatiabs. What strikes Inc strangely is the mixing in companion- ship of those who on earth could not agree. There is Albert Barr* and around him the t sbytery who tflibli him for hetero- doxy !1 Yonder is LyMan Beecher, and -the c urch court that denounced him! Sttang r than all, there is JohnCalvin and James Arminius ! „Who would have thought that they woOld'sit so lovingly to- gether ? There is GeOte Whitefield and theministers who wol)14 not let him come into their pulpit heOttise they thoughts him a fanatic. There hre the sweet sing- ers, Topladv, Montgoidery, Charles Wes- ley, Isaac ',Vette and 11SWSigourney.

And as they look from their g:allery and see us falter in the pre: Bence 'a the lions.— I seem to hear Isaac Watts addressing us in his old hymn, only a little changed: Must you be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win -the prize I Or sailed through bloody seas. Toplady shouts in his old hymn: Your harps, ye trembling taints, Down from their willows take; - Lend to the praise of love divine, Bid everyetring awake. While Charles Wesley, the Methodist, breaks forth in his favorite words, a little varied: A charge to keep you have, I A Gild to glorify; A never -dying soul tosave, , And fit it for the sky! I look again and I see the gallery of out departed. Many of those in the other galleries we have heard of; but these we knew. , Oh! how familiar their faces! They sat at .our tables, and we walked to the house of God in company. Have they forgotten us? 'Those fathers and mothers started us on the road of life. Are they careless as to what beeomes of us? And those childron, do they look on with stolid indifference as to whether we win or lose this battle for eternity? Nay; I see that child running its hand veryourbrow and saying, "Father do not iret;" "Mother, do not worry." They remember the day they left us. They remember the agony of the last farewell. Though years in heaven they know our faces. They re- member our sorrows. • They speak our name. They watch this fight for heaven. Nay; I see them rise up and lean over, and wave before us their recognition and en- couragement. That gallery is not full. They are keeping places for us. After we have slain the lion, they expect the King to call us, saying, "Come up higher !" Be- tween the hot struggles in the arena I wipe the sweat from my brow, and stand on tiptoe, .reaching out my right hand to clasp theirs' in rapturous hand -shaking, while their, voices come ringing down .from the gallery, crying, "Be thou faithful until death and you shall hate a crown!" My hearers I shall we die in the arena or rise to join our friends in the gallery? Through Christ we may come off more than conquerors. A soldier, dying in the hospi- tal, rose up in bed the last moment and pried, "Here Here !" His attendants put 'him back on his pillow, and asked him why he shouted "Here I" "Oh! I heard the roll -call of' heaven, and I was only answer- ing to my name !" I wonder whether, after this battle of life is over, our names will be called in the muster -roll of the par- doned and glorified, and, with the joy of heaven breaking upon our souls, we shall cry "Here Here !'
