TALIIAGE'S HOSANNA OF GRATITUDE TO CHRIST ON HIS RETURN HOME. The Greatest Noun. of All is Jelnis—The BroOklyn 13011/1130 Promises an .4.0count of His Hission to R111418, and His Preaching Tour in Europe. BROOKLYN, Sept. 25.—Dr. Talmage was greeted with a most generous and e usiOe welcome to -day lei a vast congregation which aseerabled to hear him preach his first sermon after his return from hisiEuro- peen preabhing tour. He annotmeed that concernin t his stewardship in -delivering t. in a Sund y or two he would give a sermon in Russia, in behalf of . The Christian Herald, the $35,000 worth of flour for the starving. The subject to -day was, "All in all." Text, Colossians 3, 11; "Christ is all and in all." Returned aft,'i the most eventful suthmer of my life, I mu t shortly, and as sodn as 1 recover from t e sea -voyage, give emit an aceoutit of our 1 lesion of bread to famine- etrnek Russia, end of my preaching tour through Germany, England, Scotland; and Ireland ; but my first sermon on reaehing here must be of a hosanna of gratitude to Christ, and from the text I have chosen I have found that the greatest .name hi the ocean -shipping, and from Liverpool to Moscow, and from Moscow to London and Edinburgh and Belfast and Dubbin is Jesus. Every age of the world has had its histor- i tame its philosophers, its artists, ita think- ers, and its teachers. Were there histor- ies to be written, there has always been a Moine, or a Herodotus, or a Xenophon, or a Josephus to write them. Were there poems to be constructed, there has always been a JOb or a Homer to construct them. • Were thrones, lustrous. and powerful, to be lifted, there has always been a David in a Queer to raise them. Were there teachers demanded for the intellect and the hearts, there has been a Socrates, and a Zeno, and a Menthes, and a Marcus Antonius coming forth on the grand and glorious mission. Every age of the world has had , ite triumphs of reason and morality. There has not been a single age of the world which has not lied some decided eystera of religion. The. Platonism, Orientaliam, Stoicism, Brahminism, and Buddhism, considering the ages in which they were established, were not lacking in ingenu- ity and force. Now, in this line of bene- ficent institntions and of noble mea, - there appeared a Personage more won- derful than any predecessor. He eatne from a family Ovithout any royal or aids- tocratie pretension. He became a Galilean mechanic. He had no advantage from the schools. There were people beside Him day after day who had. no idea that Re was going to be anything remarkable, or do anything remarkable. Yet, notwithstand- ing all this, and without any title, or scholarly profeesion, or flaming rhetoric, He startled the world with the strangest announcements, ran in oollision with sol- . •°mu priest and proud ruler, and with a voice:that rang through temple and palace, - arid over ship's deck, and mountain top, ex- claimed, "I am the Light 4 ,the World !" Men were all taken aback at the idea that that hand, yet hard from the use of the axes, the saw, and adze, and hatchet., should wave the sceptre ef authority, arid that upon that brow, from tyhich they had so- often seen Him wipe the ' sweat of toil, therawould yet come the crown of unparal- leled aplendor and of universal dominiott We all know how difficult it is to think that anybody who was at school with us in boyhood had got to be anything great or famous; and no wonder Mat those who had been boys with Christ in the streets of Naz- areth and iieen Him .in after years in the days of His coraplete obscurity, should have been very slow to acknowledge Christ's wonderful mission. From this humble point the stream of life flowed out. At first it was just a faint rill, hardly able to find its way down the rocki but the tears of a weeping Christ added to its volume; and it flowed on until, by the beauty. and greenness of th d banks, you might know the path the crystal stream I was taking. On and on, till the leper - were brought down and washed of theik leprosy, and the dead were lifted into the water that they might have life, and pearls of jay and promise were gathered from the brink, and innumerable churches gathered on either bank, and the tide flows on 4eep. er, and stronger, arid wider, until it rolls into the river from wider the throne of Goat, mingling billow with billow, and brightness with brightness, and joy Ninth .joy, and hosanna with hosanna ! I was looking at some of the paintings Of the artist, Mr. Ke sett. I saw some (1 pictures that were ju t faint, outlines • in some places you w uld see only 'the branches of a tree and no trunk ; and hi - another case the trunk and no branchea Re had not finished the work. It would have taken him days and months, perhame, to have completed it. Well, my friends, iri this world we get only the faiotest outline of what Christ is. It will take all eternity to fill up the picture—so loving, so kind, so. • merciful, eo great! Paul does not, in this ehapter, say of Christ He is geed, or He is loving, or He is petient, or He is kind; but in his exclamation of the text le embraces in all." everything when he says, "Chr'st is all and I remark, in the first plasm Christ is everything in the Bible. I do not care where I -open the Bible, I find Jesus. In whatever path I start, I come, after a while, to the Bethlehem manger. I go back to the old dispensation, and see a lamb on the altar, and say, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world!" Then I go and see the manna provided fox - the Israelites in the wilderness, and say, - "Jesus, the bread of life." Then I look at the rock which was smitten by tine prophet's rot -hand, as the water gushes out, I say `!It is Jesus, the fountain opened forain and for uncleanness." I go back and look at the writings of Job, and hear him exclaim, "I know that my Redeemer liveth." Then 1 go to Ezekiel, and I find Christ presented there as "e plant of renown ;'' and then I - turn over to Isaiah, and Christ is spoken of "as a sheep before her shearers." It is Jesus all the way betweeen Genesis and Malachi. Thep I tura over to 'the New Testament, and it is Christ in the parable, it is Christ in the miracle, it is Christ in the evangelist's story, it is Christ in the apostles' epistles, and it is Christ in the trumpet peal of the .Apocalypes. ; I know there are a great many people who do not find Christ in the Bible. Here is a man who studies the Bible as a historian. Well, if you come as a historian, you will find in this book how the world Was made; how the sea fled to .their plaices, how empires were established, how nation fought with nation, javelin ringing against harbegeon, until the earth wa ghastly 1 with the dead. You will see the coro- nation of princes, the triumph of con- querors and the world turned upside down and back again and down again, cleft and eearred with great agonies of earthquake, end tempest, and battle. his a wonder - int history, putting to the blush all others in the aticuracy of its recital, and in the stupendous events' it ecords. Horner, and Thucydides, and 0 ihbon coeld make great stories out of little event*; but it took a Mous to tell hew the heaVens and the earth., were made in one ehapter, and to give the history of thousands of years upon two leaves. There are others who come to the Bible merely as antiquarians. If you cone as an antiquarian you. will find a great many old thinesi in the Bible ; peculiarities of man ner ana custom, marriage and burial culiarities of dress, tunics, sandals, c ing-pins, amulets and girdles, and ling ornaments. If you come to lo military arrangement, you will find of mail, and javelins and engiaes of and circumvellation, and encamp' H you look for peculiar musical in meats, you will iind psalteriei, and: gionoths, and ramemhorn. Theanti tan will find in the Bible curiositi agricultnre, and in commerce, and hi andlin religion that will keep him '-abso a great while. There are those who to this Bible as you would to a inet of curiosities, and you pick up and say, ."What a strange sword that and "Whit ia peculiar hat this, is !" the Bible to. ouch becomes a British seurn. _ Then there are others who find not in the Bible but the -poetry. Well, if come as a mica you will find in this faultless rhythhaa and bold imageryi startling antithesis, and rapturous 1 and sweet pestoral, and instructive neer& and devotional psalm; thoughts expre in a style more solemn than that of M gomery, more bold than that of Mil more terrible than that of Dante, natural than that .�f Wordsworth impassioned than that of Pollock, tendet than that of Cowper, more w • than that of Spenser. •The great- p brings an the getns of the earth int coronet, and it weaves the ment in its garland, and p monies in its rhythm. book touches it makes b plain stones of the sumrnezj and the daughters. of N trough for the camels, auI the fish -poo Heshbon, on to the Psalmist- praising with diapason of storm and whirlwind, Job leading- forth Orion, Arcturus, and Pleiades. It is a wonderful poem; an great many people read it as they Thomas Moore's "Lelia Rookh," and ter Scott's "Lady ofthe Lake," and Ten son's "Charge of the Light Brigade." T -sit down,. and are so absorbed in looking the shells on the shore that they forget look off on the great ocean of God's me and salvation. Then there are others who came to book of eceptics. They -marshal pass against passage, and try to get Matti and Luke in a quarrel, and would hay discrepancy between what Paul and dh, say about faith and works; and they to account to Moses concerning the 0 tion by modern decisions' of science, resolve that in all questions between scientific explorer and the inspired wri they will give preference to the geolog These men—these spiders, I will say—s poison out of the sweetest &were. T fatten their infidelity upon thetruths wli have led thousands to heaven, and in th distorted vision prophet seems to wat w prophet, and evangelist with evangelist, apostle with apostle.; and if they can fi some bad trait of character in a man of ( mentioned in that Bible, these carrion cro caw and flap their wings ever the carca Because they cannot understand how whale swallowed Jonah, they attempt inore wonderful feat of - swallowing monster whale of modern skepticism. Th do not believe it possible that the • Bi tory should be true which says t he dumb ass spoke, while they themsel rove the thing possible by their own uti nces. I am amused beyond bounde wh hear one -of these men talking about itture life. Just ask a man who reje- hat Bible what heaven is, and hear him og your Boa He will tell you that heav s merely the development of the intere. esources of a man; it is an effioreecence he dynamic forces into a state of ethere nd transcendental lucubration, in do uxtaposition to the ever-preaent "wit nd the great "to be," and the everlasti 'No." Considering themselves wise, th re fools for time, fools for eternity. 'Then there is ahother class of perso ho come to the Bible as eontroversialis hey .are enorthous Presbyterians, erce Baptists, or violent Methodist hey cut the Bible to suit their creed, i teed of cutting their creed to suit ible. If the Scriptures think as they d ell; if not, so much the worse for t criptures. The Bible is merely the whe one on which they sharpen the dissec g -knife of controversy. They come t as a Government in time of war corn o armories or arsenals for weapons an unitions.

The moss has no time to grow on the ckets that come up out of the heart's 11, dripping with tears. Great trials upon our track as certain as grey- ind pack on the scent of.deer. From hearts in every direction there are , a usand chords reaching out binding us loved ones, and ever and anon some of se tendrils snap. The winds that cross' s sea of life are not all abaft. The uds that crops our sky are not feathery afar, straenng like flocks of sheep on venly pastures; but wrathful and iber, and gleaming with ,terror, they p the mountains in fire, and come vn baying with their. thunders through ry gorge.

Dr, Blailcie on Toronto. It its ivithno ordinary pleasure thatil now fulfil the duty which has beere laid on me by the Programme Committee of the Alli- ance, as presideht of the executive commis- sion, of opening the premeediegs of the fifth General Council, The pleasure is enhanced by the fact of ()lir meeting in ,the Dominion of Canada, which, amid many other 'attrac- tions, presents to us the spectaele 'of a Presbyterian Church, not split i ments, but fairly united, and pr greatly in its union—thus affording and an example, if not something li to frag- speteng a lesson ,e a re- buke, to some older churches in other lands. And it is very agreeable, I am sure, to nit all that we meet in the beautiful and pros- perous Cityof Toronto,a city which wholly the product of the nineteenth century, and thereby well fitted to show what, under the blessing of God, can be effected II)y that combination of intelligence', industry and integrity, of which our Presbyterian Church has doubtless contributed its share. I think, too, I may congratulate Toronto on its being the seat of the fifth council, be- cause that will associate its mime with other eities that have played a ,great part in the history of nations—with Edinburgh, Philadelphia, Belfast and London—and will show on the part of the Presbyterian churches how much we appreeiate it's work in the past, and what expectations of ser- vice we entertain for the future.—From his address before Pan -Presbyterian Conference. The Tuneful Harp. Harp -playing is again in vogue. Fash- ionable young women are hanging their banjoes on the willow tree; they are tak- ing lessons harp manipulation. The light airs of the instruthent so long held sacred to the negro are forgotten in the deeper and rnore dignified notes of the harp. We suspect that the decorative pos- sibilities of the harp ha,ve much to do with this revival* that ancient instrument. A harp boa pretty thing. A curiously carved cabinet from. Venice or an oddly • fashion- ed -table from France cannot be more effective in a drawing -room. The harp has a noble ancestry. Skill in bringing forth music from its chords won praise and honor in the day of King- Daeid. Kings and queens have enjoyed its music through hundreds of years. Its -addition to the orchestra, however, does not date back many years. A Chicago musician has made a study of the instrument and he says its possibilities are not yet fully understood; that the semi -tones of the harp can be regulated with a nicety heretofore un- known. No doubt Ta.nnhauser and Orpheus would not recognize the harp if •they were to see it; with the 'Chicago modifications, standing in a white and gold parlor and responding to the graceful, touch of a Michigan avenue belle's Blondes. fingers.— Indianapolis News. Character of the Photiograph. A gentleman who has long made a study of amateur photography asserts that its chief interest to him lies in the ortconscious revelation ,of character in a photographed face. "If a man have any noble or mean trait latent in his nature, unknown to the world, it comes out in his photograph." Haw- thorne declared that dominant family traits and likenesses were always revealed in these sun -drawn pictures, even though they , might not be visible on the real faces of the sitters. These assertions'if correct, only illus- trate a truth which is as old as mankind— that as years go by the character of a man writee itself indelibly upon his face. Not only the action, whether mean or noble, but the secret thoughts which are never put into deeds—the sensual imagin' ation the cruel purpose, the lofty hope, the kindfeel- ing—all these record- themselves upon the features, or at some unexpected moment peep out at the, world from behind the eye.
