MAGNETISM. 1 nous or ner dress and let the dress gine through herspale fingers. ;She said it helped her pain so much and made her Si) happy.allithe day. Aye, have we not in all our dwellings garments of the de- parted, a touch of which thrills us through and through, the life of those who are gone thrilling through the life of those who stay? But mark you, the principle I evolve from. this subject. No addition of health to others unless there ;be a subtraction of strength from our- selves. He felt that strength had gone out of Him. . Notice also in this subject a Christ sensitive to hunsan touch. We talk about God on a vast scale so s much we . hardly appreciate his accesaibility. God in magnitude rather than God in min- uthh, God in the infinite rather than God in the infinitesimal ; but here in my text we have a God arrested by a. sufferine; touch. When in the sham trial of Christ they struck Him on the cheek we can realize how that cheek tingled with pain. When under the scourging the rod struck the shoulders and back of Christ, we can realize how He must have writh- ed under the lacerations. But here there is a sick and nerveless fingesethat just touches the long threads of the blue fringe of His coat, and He looks around and says : "Who touched Me?" We talk about sensitive people, but Christ was the impessonification of all sen- sitiveness. The .slightest stroke_of the smallest finger of 'Inman disability makes all the nerves of His head and heart and hand and feet vibrate. It is not a,stolid Christ, not a phlegmatic Christ, not a preoccupied Christ. not a hard Christ, not an iron -cased Christ, but an exquisite- ly sensitive Christ that my text unveils. MI the things that touch us touch Him, il by the hand of prayer we make make the connecting line between him and our- selves complete. Mark you; this invalid of the text might have walked through that crowd all day and cried about her suffering, and no relief would have come if she had not touched him. When in your prayer you lay your , hand on Christ, you touch all the sympathies of , an ardent and glowing and responsive nature. You know that in telegraphy there are two Currents pf electricity. So when yothput out your hand of prayer to Carist there are two currents -a current of sorrow rolling up from your heart to Christ, and a current of commiseration rolling from the heart of Christ to you. Two currents. Oh, why de OU go won- dering About this and wondering about that? Why do you not touch Him? ACTS LIKE AN ELECTRIC SHOW IN GIVING il4FE-*AND HEALTH. ' ,..,, Talmage's Serrrion on the Sick Woman Who . Toucheid - the Lord's Garment -- “Daughter, Thy Faith Hath Made Thee. Whole. Go in ,resee.” BROOKLYN, May ' 21, -Rev. Dr. Tal- mage to -day chose for histext the subject of his discourse, the inquiry addressed by the Sa lour to those will° surrounded Him, when, the invalid w omen having touched His garment, He - asked, "Who Touched Me ?" Mark 6„ 81. . A great crowd of excited people elhow- ingeach other this way and that, and Christ in the midst of the commotion. They were on the way to see Him restore to comple health a dying person. 'S011,10 thought He couid'effect cure, others that He could not. -.1-.4:-.t any .rate, it would be an interesting experiment. A very sic - woman of twelve years' invalidism is i the crowd. . Sothe say her name - was Martha, others say., it was Veronica. I do •not know what her name was ; but this is certain she had tried all styles of cure. Every shelf of ;her humble home had medicines on it. She had employed many of the doctors of that time when medi- cal science was more rude , and rough and ignorant than we can imagine in -this time, . when the word physician or. surgeon stands for potent and educated skill. -Professor Lightfoot gives a list of . what he supposes may have been the remedies she had ap- plied. I suppose she had been blistered from head to foot, '.and had tried the compress and had used all kinds of as- tringent herbs, and she had been maul- ed' and hackedand cut' and lacerated until life to her was ' a plague. Besides that,. the Bible indicates her doctors' bills had run up frightfully, and she had paid money for medicines and for surgi- cal attendance and for -hygienic appara- tus r b unoly.her purse Was as exhausted as What, poor woman, are you doing in that jostling crowd? Better - go . honie and to bed and nurse your disorders. No! Wan and wasted and faint she stands there, her face distorted with suf- fering, and ever and anon biting her lip with some acute pain, and Sobbing until her tears fall from the hollow eye UPOn the faded dress; only -able to stand be- cause the Crowd is so close to her push- ing her this way and that. Stand back! Why do you crowd that poor body? Have you no consideration for a dying woman? But just at thatetime the crowd parts and this invalid- ebmes almost up to Christ; but she is behind -Him and His human eye does net take her in. She has beard so niuch about Hiskindness to the sick, and she does feel go wretch- ed, she thinks if she can only just touch Him once it will do her .good. She will not touch Him -on the sacred head, for that might be irreverent. She will not touch Him on the hand, ler thp.t might seem too familiar. She says: 'I will, I • think, touch Him on His coat -not .on the top of it, or on the bottem of the main fabric, but on the border, the blue border, the long threads of the fringe of thatblue border; there can be no harm iri thatI dont think He will hurt me, I have. heard so much about him. Besides that I can stand this no longer. Twelve years of ; suffering have worn me out. This is my last hope." And she passes through the crowd and kneels and puts her finger to the edge of the blue fringe of the border. She just touches it. Qmek as an electric shock there thrilled black into her shattered nerves and shrunken Veins and exhausted- arteries and panting lungs and withered muscles, health, beautiful health, God-given and coMplete health. The 12 years' march' of pain and pang and suffering over suspension -bridge of nerve and through tunnel of bone instantly halted. . Christ recognizes somehow that mag- netic and healthful influence through die medium of the blue fringe of His gar- ment had -shot out. .He turns and looks upon that excited erowd, and startles them Nvith theinterrogatory of my text : 4\\Tho tour:lied lire?" The inselow.t crowd in substance replied: "How do we know? You get into a crowd like this an d You must expect to -be, jostled. You ask us a question You know we cannot ausk% er." But the roseate and rejuvenated woman came up and knelt in front of Christ and told of the touch, and told of the restora- tion, and Jesus said: "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go- •in peace." So Mark gives us a .dramatiza- tion of the Gospel. Oh, what a doctor Christ is! In everyone of our households may 'he be the family physician. Notice -that there is no addition of help to others without substraction of power from ourselves. The context says that as *soon as this woman was healed Jesus felt that virtue or strength had gone out of Him.. No aderition of help to others without substraction of strength from ourselves.' Did you never get tired for others? Have you never risked your health ,for others? Have you never preached a sermon or delivered an ex- hortation, or offerea a burning prayer, and then felt afterward that Strength had gone out of you? . Theta you have never imitated Christ. Are you Curious to know hciwethat gar- ment of Christ should have wrought sueh a cure for this suppliant invalid? I sup- pose that Christ was surcharged ' with vitality. You know that diseases may be conveyed from city to city by garments, as in case of epidemic, and sol suppose that garments may be sureharge-s1 with health. I suppose that Cultist had such physical Magnetism that it permeated all His robe down to the last teread on the border of the blue. fringe. But in ad- dition to that there was a divina thrill,. there l'os a miraculous potency, there was an omnipotent therapeutics, without this twelve" years' invalid would not have been instantly -restored. . Now, if omnipotence cannot help others without depletion, how can we ever expect to - bless thi: -world Nvithout self-sacriliee? A. man svho (rives to some Christian object ontil he ''feels it, a man who in his occupation. or' pro- fession overwo,lis that he may educate his children, a man who on Sunday night goes home, all his nervous energy - witumr out by. active service in. church, or Sarrbato school, er city evan- gelizaticm, has imitated Christ, and the strength has gone out of him. .A. mother -who robs herself of sleep in behalf of a sick -cradle, a. tkvife.

That strength or via tue may have gone out through a gar- ment she has made for the home, that strength may l-lasre gone out -through the ssck you knit fer the barefoot clstitaite, that strength may go out through the mantle hung hp in some closet after you are dead. So a crippled child sat every morning on her father's front .; step ,so that when the kind Christian Aeacher PaSf4ed by to, school' she might take Are you sick? I do not think you aro,. any worse off than this invalid of the text. Ha ve°you had a long struggle ? I do not think that it 1015 been more than twelve years. Is your case hopeless. ;So was this of which my text was the diagnosis and prognosis. "011," you say, -"there are so many things between me and God.'"f here was a whole mob between this invalid and Christ. She pressed -through and I guess you can press through. Is your trouble a, home trouble? Christ shows himself especially sympathetic with questions of domesticity, as . when at the wedding in Cana He alleviated -a housekeeper's predicament, as when tears niSilt 'o"'i the broken home of Mary and ed Lazarus. Men are sometimes ashanita: wpm There, are men who if the tears star .. .11 con- ceal them. They think it is unmanly to cry. They do not seem to understand it is manliness and evidence of a great heart. I am afraid of a man who, does not know how to cry. Tile Christ of.the -text was MA ashamed to cry over hu- man raisfertune. Look at that deen lake -of tears opened by the two words of the evangelist : "Jesus wept !" Behold Christ on the • only day 01 His early triumph marching on Jerusalem, the -glittering domes obliterated by the blind- ing rain -'of tears in His eyes and on His cheek: for when He belted the city He -wtept over it. 0 man of the many trials, 0' wonian of the heartbreak, .vhy do you not touch Him ? "Oh," says some . one, "Christ don't care for me. Christ is looking the other way. Christ has the vast affairs of his kingdom to look after, lie has the armies of sin to overthrow, and there are so many worse cases of trouble than mine Be doesn't care about Me, and His face is turned tlie other way." So His back was turned to this invalid of the text. Hewas on His way to effect a cure which was famous and popular and wide resounding. But the context says, "He turned Him about." If He Was facing to the north He turned to the south : if He w!Ls facing to the. east He turned to the Est. What' taarned about? The Bible says He has no shadow of turning. He rides. 'oh in His chariot through the eternities. He marches on, crushing scepters as though they were the crackling alders on a brook's bank, and tossing thrones on ?.ither side of Him without stopping to kook Whiell Nvay they fall. From ever- lasting to everlasting. "He turneth Him about." He whom all the allied armies of hell cannot stop a minute or divert an inch, by the wan, sick, nerveless linger of human suffering turned clear about. Oh, what comfort there is in this sub- ject for people who are called nervous. Of course it is a misapplied word, in that case, but I use it . in the ordinary .par- lance. After twelve years of suffering, oh, what nervous depression she -must have had. You all know that a good deal of medicine taken if it does not cure leaves the system exhausted, and in the Bible in so many words she ‘had suffer- ed many things of many physicians, and was nothing better, but rather grew worse." SIse was as nervous as nervous could be. She knew all about insomnia and about the awful spprehension of sometliing going to happen, and irritability about little things that in health would not have perturbed her, warrant you it was not a straight stroke she (save to the garment of Christ,. but a trentibling forearm, and an uncertain motion of the band, and a quivering finger with which she missed the mark toward which she aims.d. She did not touch the garnient just where she ex- pe\cvtehdentoItosueechthiish nerv4 us woman com- ing to the Lord Jesus Christ, I say she is making the way for all nervous people. Nervous people do not get much sympa- thy.' If a man breaks his arm every- body is sorry, and they ralk about it all up and down the street, If a woman has an eve put out by. 'accident, they say : '-`That's a 'the idtul thing. Everybody is asking abcsit her convales- cence. But what a person is suffering under the ailment of hich I am now speaking, they say: "Oh, that's noth- ing, she's a little nervous, that's all," putting a slight upon the most agonizing of suffering. Now, I have a new prescription to give you. I do not ask you to discard human medicament„ I believe in it. - When the slightest thing occurs in the way of sick- ness in my household, we always ran for the doctor. I do not want to despise medicine. If you cannot sleep nights do not despise bromide Of potassium. If you. have nervous hparoxysm do not despise Morphine. ' If you. want to strengthen up your system do not despise quinine as a tonic. Use all right and proper medicines. But I want you to bring your insomnia, and bring. your irritability, and bring all your weaknesses and with them touch Chxist.

At the Root of the Matter,. Dr. Talyatus, of Tiflis, has a project for the total extermination of the cholera bacillus. The _ habitat of this bacillus is thedelta of the Ganges. The delta is polluted by the remains of the dead cast into the sacred waters, and among these remains the bacilli are gen- erated. It would not be easy to induce the people to give up their ancient cus- tom of disposing of the dead ; but Telya- fus believes that the British G-overnment possesses the power to compel them to adopt cremation lunder condition that they be allowed to cast the ashes into the Ganges. Then, bst draining the delta and planting eucalypttis trees in it. he thinks that the dreaded bacillus might be wholly destroyed, so that it would never again ravage the world.
