BROOKLYN TABERNACLE* 4.1 Am Oie Blight and Morning_ Star "- Au Eloquent Address on the Greatest of alt Human restivals-The Lesions • That the Great Event Oreaohes Maine kind• BROOKIGN, Dee. 24.—In the Brooklyn Tabernacle to -day, a great audience as- sembled to participate ih the Christmas services. .Standing , before the organ • festooned with Christmas- greens, this sernrion was delivered by Rev. Dr. Tal- • mage after -the throng had sung : "The Star of Bethlehem." Text, • Rev. 22 . 16, "I am the bright and tne morning - star." This is.Claristrnes-Eve. Our attepthin- • and -the attention of the'world is dr wn to the star that pointed down to the c - avarsary where Christ was born, BLit do not let us forget that Christ Hims if was a star. To that luminous fact my text dells us; • It Beeline as if the natural world were anxious to make up for the damage' it did our race lolurnishing the forbidden fruit.' If that fruit wrought death among the nations, now all the natural pro- ducts shall become a symbol of blessing. The showering down' of the Wealth of the orchard will make us think of Him whom Solomon describes as the apple tree 'among the trees of the_ wood; and the flowers of tangled glen and cultured parterre shall bethe dew -glinted gar- land for,the brow of the Lord Jesus. Yes, even the night shell be taxed, and its brightest star shall be setas a gem in the &goner of our holy religion. • Have you ever seen the Morning star ' advantageouely? If it was en your way home from a night's carousal you saw none ot its beauty. If you merely turn- • ed over on your pillow in the. darkness, • glancing out of your window,dyog know nothing about the cheerful , influence of the star. But there are many in this house to -night who, in great passes of • their life, some of them far out at sea, havegazed at that star and been thrilled . through with indescribable gladness. That star comes trembling, as though with the perils of the darkness, and yet, bright with the anticipation of the day. It seems emotional with all tenderness, its eyes filled with the tears of many sorrows. It is their= on the and of the morning thrust up to iiignal its corning. -Other stars are dim, 'like holy candles in a cathedralaor silver beads counted in superstitious litany; but this is a living star, a speaking star, an bis - toric star, an evangelistic star -bright, . and • brilliant, ande triumphant symbol of the great :Redeemer. The telegraphic • operator puts his finger onthe silver key of the electric instrument, and the tid- ings fly across the continent;;and so it • seems to me that the finger of inspir- ation is placed upon this Silver 'point in the heavens. and it 'thrills through • all the earth: -"Behold; I being you good tidings of great joy:which shell be to • all people. Behold" I am the bright and morning star." The meaningof my text -is this :-As the morning star precedes- and promises the coming of the day, so Christ heraldthe natural and spiritual dawn. In the first place, Christ heralded the corning of the creation. There was a • tinie when there was no order,- nio sound. of beauty.. No wing stirred. • No word was tittered. No light sped. As far as Gad could lookup, as file doerreias far outethere was nothing. Imineastirable solitude. Height and detoth, and length, and breadth of nothingoeis. -Did Christ then exist? Oh, yes. "By Him were all things made that were made; thins in heaven . and, thingh in earth, and things under -the earth. Yee, He ante- dated the creation. He led forth Arc- turus and his sons. He shone before the first mornieg. His voice was heard in the concert -when the morning stare ser- enaded the adyent of our infant earth, when, wrapped in swaddling clothes of light, it lay in the arms of ' the great Jehovah. HE, saw the first fountain laid. He saw the first light kindled. That hand, "which was Afterwards crushed upon the cross, was thrust into . chaos, and it brought out one world and swung it in that orbit; and brought out another world and swung it in another orbit; and brought out all the worlds and swung them in their particular orbits.- They earn° like sheep at the call oha shepherd. They knew His voice, and He hailed them all by their names. • Ole itis an interesting thought to me to know ttiat Christ had something to do• . with the creation., 1' see now why it dg so easy for Him to change water into wine. Be,first created the water, I see now why it was so easy fortHina tOE cure -the maniac;. He ,first created the intellect. I see now why it was so easy for Him to hush the tempeat; Hesank Gennesaret. I see now Why it was so easy for Him to swing fish into Simon's net; He made the fieh. I see now --why it was so easy for Hine to give sight to, the blind man; He created the optic nerde. I see now why it was so easy for him to raise Lazarus from the dead; e created the body of Lazartni arid the reek that -slttit him in. Somel suppose that Christ came a, stranger to Bethle- hem. Ob, -no. He created the shep- herds end the flocks they watched, and the hills on whiell , they pastured, and the heavens that over -arched theirbeads, and the angels that chanted the chorus on that Christmas night.. That hand, which was afterward nailed to the cross, was an omnipotent and 'creative hand, and the whole universe ,Was poised on the tip of one of His fingers. Before the world was, Christ was. All the worlds came trooping up' out of the darkness, and he greeted them as a father greets his children, with a "good -morning," or a "good -night." Hail, Lord Jesus, morning star of the first creation. Again, Christ heralds the dawn of coMfort in a Cnristian soul. Sometimes we . coine to passes in life where all kinds of tribulations Meet us. You are building up some great enterprise. You .have 'built the foundation -the wall - you are iust about to put on the cap- stone, when everything is demolished.' You have a harp all, strung for sweetest accord. and some great agony crushes it. There- is a likle voice hushed in the household. Blue eye closed. Color dashed out of the cheek. The foot still. Instead of ,the quick feet in the the hew tread of those who march to the grave. Oh, what are peo- ple to do amid all these sorrows? Some sit down and mourn. Some bite there Hp until the blood comes. Some wring their pale hands, Sonie fall' on their faces. Some lie on their backs helpless, and lookup into what seems to them an unpitying heaven. Some pull their hair jeown over their eyes, and look through wiali a fiend's glare. Some with both bands press their 120 brain, and want to die, and cry., `9 God ! 0 God Long night, bitter ntOit, stupendous night of the' world's suffering 1 Some know not which ,way to -turn.

Her temples of iniquity shall be demolished. What is that light I see breaking over the tops Of the Himala- yas? ° The morning. The empurpled clouds shall gild the path' of the con- • quering day. The Hottentot will come out of his mud hovel to look at • the dawn: the Chinaman will come up on the granite cliffs, the Norwegian will get up on the rackteand all the beach of heaven will be crowded with Celestial inhabitants polite out to see the sun rise over the ocean of the world's agony:.

Again, Christ ; heralds the dawn of heaven upon every Chrietian's dying pillow. I suppose you have noticed that the characteristics of people• their healthy dept. are very apt to be their characteristics in their dying days. The dying words of ainbitious Napo- • leon were: "Head of the army." The `dyirig words of poetic Lard Byrom vvere: "I must sleep now." Time dying words of affectionate Lord Nelson were t "Kiss ine, Hardy." The dying words of Voltaire were, as he saw one whiten he supposed to be Jesus in the room "Crush that wretch." But I have nO. ticed thee the dying, woeds Of Christians always bean peace. Generally the pain is all gone; and there is great quietude through the room. As one of these • brothere told -me of his mother in the last moment: . "She looked up and said, pointing to some supernatural being • that seemed. to be in the room, `Look at that bright -form. Why, they have come for me now." The lattice is turned so that the light is very pleasant. It is peace all around. You ask yourself, "Why, can this be a dying roma? It is 80 different froin anything I ever expected." And you. walk the floor, and you .look out of the window, and you come back and look at your watch, and you look at the face of: • the patient • againt and there is no change, ex8ept that the face is becoming more radiant, more illuminated. The. wave of death seems 'coining up higher and higher, •until • it has touched the knee, ancl then itcomes up until it reaehes,the girdle; and then it conies en up until it reaches the Hp, and the soul is about to be floated away into glory, and ytiu, roll beck the patient's sleeve, and You put your finger on _the pulse, and it os' getting weakerand weaker, and the pulse stops, and you hardly know whether the 'life has gone or 'not, Indeed, you cannot tell when, she goes away, she goes away, so • calmly. Perhaps it is four o'clock in the morning,and you have the bed wheeled .around to the window, antlt the ying ooe 1:looks out into, the night sky„ and she sees something' that. attracts her attentiore.apd you wonder wbatis it. Why, it is a star. It is a star that out of its silver rim 18 pouringa supernatur- al light into that dying experience. Ad you says "What is it that you are 'look- ing at ?" She says, "Itis a star." You say, "What star is it that seems so well to please you?". "Oh," she gays, "that is she •morning star -Jesus!" I would - like to have 'iny' deathbed under thitt evangelistic star -1 Would like to have my eye en that star;tso I could be assur- ed of the morning. Then' the dash of the surf of the Sea Of teleath -would Only be the billowing u of the prondites. "When thou pasties rough.the waters, I will be erith thee, aid the rivers, they shall not overflow heed!

Paul kept his eye on that morning star until he could seyn."I amnow reacty to be offered, and :the' date of my d ture is at hand. I have fought the good' 'figut; I have finished my 004140.i haVe kept the faith." Edward Payson kept his eye on that star until he could say, "The breezes of heaven fan lne."1 Dr. Goodwin kept his eye on that evange- listic star until he could say, "I am swallowed up in God." John Tenhant kept his eye on that evangelistic star uutil he could say, "Welcome, sweet Lord Jesus -welcome, eternity." No other star ever pointed a mariner into so safe a barber. No other star ever bunk its silvered anchor into the waters. No other star ever pierced such ac- cumulated eland, or beckoned with .snch a holy lustre. With lantern and torches and a guide, we went down in the Mammoth Cave of. Kentuckyt You may walk fourteen miles and see no sunlight. It is a stu- pendous place. Some places the roof of the cave is' a hundred feet hip -h, 'Pb - e - grmt-Oes Miecz! et tie weird ecnoes, 0 -Rh- oades falling from invisible height to , invisible depth depth. -Stalagmites ;rising up 'from the floor of the cave—stalaCites de- scending from'. the roof .tyf toe eaYi,• - joining each other, and Making Oars - or the .Altniglity's sculpturing. Vero are rosettes „of araethyest in halls._ of gypsum. As the guide carries his lin- tern ahead of you, the Shadows have an appearance supernatural and :spectral. • The darkness is fearful, Two people, getting lost from their guide only for • a few hours, years ago, were demented, and for years tat in their insanity. You feel like holding your breath as you walk across the bridges that seem to span the bottoinless abyss. The guide throws his calcium light down into the cavern, and the light rolls and tosses from rock • to rock, and trom depth to depth, rniiiiing at every plunge a new • revelation of the awful power that could have made such ri place as that. A sense of suffocation comes upon you ae you think that you are two hundred and fifty feet in a straight line from the sunlit surface of the earth. The guide, after awhile, takes you into what is called the "Star Chamber," and then he says to you, "Sit here," and then he takes his lantern and goes down under the rocks and it gets darker and darker, until the night is so thick that the hand an inch from the -eye is unobservable. And then, by kindling. one -of the lanterns, and placing it in a - cleft of the rock, there is a reflection cast on the dome of the cave, and there are stars coming out in constellations -a brilliant fright, heavens -and you invol- untarily excleim : "Beautiful! beauti- ful!" Then lie takes, the lanternelown in other depths of the -cavern, and wan- ders on and wanders off, until he comes up from behind the rocks gradually, and • It sem* like the dawn of theanorning, and it gets brighter and brighter. The guide is a skilled ventriloquist, and he imitates the voices of the morning, and soon the gloom is all gone, and' you stand' congratulating yourself over the wonderful spectacle, Well, there are a great many people who look down into the grave as a great cavern. They think it is a thousand miles subterraneous, • and all the echoes seem to be the voices of despair, and the cascades seem to be the falling teams' that always fall, and the gloom of -eternal seems, corning im in stalagmite, and the gloom of the eternal world seems descending in the stalactite, making pillars of •indescrib- able horror. The grave is no such place as that to me, thank God. Our divine guide takes us down into the great caverns. and we have the lamp to our feet and the light to our path, and • all.the echoes in the rifts of the rock are another, and all the failing waters are fountains of salvation, and, after awhile, we look up, and behold! the cavern of the tomb has become a Kitleg Istarchember. And, while we are loo -i- • ing at tile ponap or it, an, -everlasting morning begins to rise, and all the tears of earte crystallize into stalaginite,rising up in a pillar on the one side, and all the glories of heaven seem to be de- scending hi stalactite, making- a pillar on Glie oth •r side and you push against the eliOe e that sawing between the two pillars, and, asthe gate flashes onen. you find it is one of the twelve gates which are twelve pearl,. Ili.eeeed ue God that through this Gtepel the mammoth cave of the sepulchre has become the illuminated star Chamber of the King. I would. God that if my sermon to - 'day does not lead you to Christ, that before mproing, looking out of the win- dow, the astrononiy of the night heavenedmight lead you to the feet of Jesus.Iark 1 hark! to God the chorus breaks, Froin every host, from every gem; But not alone, the Saviour speaks, Is the star of Bethlehem. Sound Sense About Good Roads. The New York Engineering News says: "The advantage of preperly-built and well-maintained dirt roads seem to have been largely overlooked in the movement for the improvement of our country roads, •and it _has been said, with some reason,that the movement in favor • of good roads has been hampered to some extent by -a -somewhat too enthusi- • astic advocacy of -broken stone roads, either macadam or telfOrd. The cost of such stone roads is absolutely prohibi-: tive of their adoption in many parts of the cofintry, where; however, improved roads are urgently needed, Compara- tively little is said about dirt roads in the discussion on improved construction, hut 18 18 certain that very excellent roads may be made -of earth by a proper sys- tem of construction. Both surface drainage and sub -drainage are essential .in obtaining a durable road, and intelli- gent maintenance is another essential, which latter is rather difficult to. insure. The mere dumping of piles of earth in wet spots or low places is not -mainten- ance, but is mere waste of energy due to carelessness or misdirected zeal. With a good- dirt road once- comnleted, it would prOnablv be found economical and advantageous to intrust its ruainten- ance to a few skilled and intelligent men paid for their services, instead -of leaving the maintenance to the spasmodic atten- tion of the farmers and their hired men." 1 'Canada's Icelandic Inemigi•ants, Canada is beginning. to "attrect the Icelanders to its northern provinces, and during the last six niontlis three or four Canadian agents have been visiting every township ;lathe island, prea clung the attractions otihe new country. The 0-overninent has even gone so far as to introduce a bill proposing to discourage emigration, or, in any case:to put -a stop to 'the propaganda of these Canadian agents; but it is doubtful whether this Measure will pass the Althi:ng, and nothing ?teems able -to modify the dis- taste which the Icelander hat foricied for his venerable but arid acres. A Speakerin the Althing the other day remarked that a: bill preeenting Icelanders who were doing well in the tvest from writing to their ,friends' at home would do a thousand tiMestmore service than an attempt to persecute touting colonial agents. -The Saturday Review. • THE NM MORNING I FEEL illtglift AND NEW ANO- MY CQMPLEXION IS SETTER* Ey doctor says it sear gently on the olonteek liver and kidney!, and Is apleasant laxative.
