Hence to cure.the disease the cause must be re- moved.— Warner's SAFE Cure is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged Kidneys and Liver, and it strikes at once at the root of .the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by unhealthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Or- gans; for the distressing disorders of Wo- men ; for all Nervous Affections, and phy- sical derangements generally, this great remedy has no equal. Its pastrecord is a guarantee for the future. H. H. WARNER & CO. London, Rochester, Frankfort., Toronto, Paris, Melbourne. REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

TALMAGE DISCOURSES ELO- ' QUENTLY ON TONGUES OF FIRE. rhey Who Have Received the Divine Pres- ence In Their Hearts Are Lifted Above Sorrow and Misfortune—Labors of Noted Evangelists. NEW YORK, March 24.—When Dr. Tel - ;nage ascended the platform of the Acad- emy of Music this afternoon he faced an audience quite as largo as any that had as- sembled in the great building since these services began, while several thousand oth- ers were outside unable to secure seats or even standing room. He teok for his sub- ject, "Tongues of Fire," the text se-loJed being Acts xis, 2, "Have ye received he Holy Ghost?" The word ghost, which means a soul or spirit, has beery degraded in COMMOD par- lance. We talk of ghosts as baleful and frightful and in a frivOlous supersti- tious way. But my text speaks of a ghost who is omnipotent and divine and every - whore present and ninety-one times in the New Testament called the Holy Ghost. The only tiine I - ever heard this text .preached from was In the opening days of any ministry, when a glorious_ old &etch minister came up to help me in my village church. On the day of my ordination and installation he said, "If you get into the corner of a Saturday night without enough sermons for Sunday, send for me, and I Will come and preach for you." The fact ought to be known that the first three years of a pastor's life are appallingly ar- duous. No other profession makes the twentieth part of the demand on a young man. H a secular speaker prepares one or two speeches for a political campaign, it is con- sidered arduous. If a lecturer prepares one lecture for a year, he is thought to have done woll. But a young pastor has two sermons to deliver every Sabbath; before She same audience, beside all his other Work, and the most of ministers never re- cover from the awful nervous strain of the first three years. Be sympathetic with all young ministers and withhold your criti- eiSMS. Electrifying Words. My aged Scotch friend responded to my Arst call and came and preached from the texts that I now announce. I remember - nothing but the text. It Was the last ser- mon he ever preached. On the following Saturday he was called to his heavenly re- ward. But I remember just how be ap- peared as, leaning over the pulpit, ho looked into the face of the audience and with earnestness and pathos and electric force askee them', in the words of my text, "Have ye received the Holy Ghost?" The office of this present discourse is to open a door, to envoi! a Personage, to introduce a force not sufficiently recognized. Ho is as great as God. Ho is God. The second verse of the first chapter of the Bible in- troduces him • Genesis i, 2, "The Spirit of God moved upon tho face of the waters" —that is, as an albatross or eagle spreads her wings over her youne'nand warms them into life and teaches thein t� fly, so the eternal Spirit spread his great, broad, radiant wings Over, this earth in its callow and unfledged state and warmed it into life and fluttered over it and set it wing- ing its way through immensity. It is the tiptop of all beautiful and sublime sug- gestiveness. Can you not almost see the outspread wings over the nest of young worlds? "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Another appearance of the Holy Ghost was at Jerusalem during a great feast. Strangers speaking 17 different languages were present froiamany _parts of the world. But in ono house they hoard what seemed like the coming of a cyclone or hurricane. It made the trees bend and the houses quake. The cry was, "What is_ that?" And then a forked_flame of fire tipped each. forehead, and what with the blast of wind and the dropping fire a panic took place until Peter explained that it was neither cyclone nor conflagration, but the brilliance and anointing and baptis- mal power Of the Holy Ghost. • That scene was partially repeated in a forest when Rev. John Easton was preach- ing. There was the sound of a rushing, mighty wind, and the people lookeeto the sky to see- If there were any signs of a storm, but it was a clear sky, yet the sound of the wind was to great that horses, fright- ened, broke loose from their fastenings, and the whole assembly felt that the sound .was supernatural and Pentecostal. Oh, what an infinite and almighty and glori- ous personage .is the Holy Ghost. He brooded this planet into life, and now that through sin it has become a dead world he will brood it tho second time into life. Perilous attempt would be a comparison between the three persons of the Godhead. They are equal, but there is spine consid- eration which attaches itself to the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost, that does not attach itself to either God the Father or God the Son. - We may grieve God the Father and grieve God the Son and be forgiven, but wo aro directly told that there is a sin against the Holy Ghost which shall never be forgiven, either In this world or in the world to come. And it is wonderful that while on the street you hear the name of God and Jesus Christ used in profanity you never hear -the words Holy Ghost. This hour I speak of the Holy Ghost as Biblical interpreter, as a human reconstructor, as a solace for tho broken hearted; as a preacher's re -en- forcement. Power of thd Holy Ghost. The Bible is a mass of contradictions, an affirmation of impossibilities, uuless She Holy Ghost helps us to understand it. The Bible says of itself that the Scripture is not for "private interpretation," but "bolt, men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost"—that is, not private interpretation, but Holy Ghost in- terpretation.- Pile on your study table all the commentaries of the Bible=t-Matthew Henry and Scott and Adam Clarke and Albert Barnes a,nd Bush and.Alexander— and all the archwologies, and -all the Bible dictionaries, and all the maps of Pales- tine, and all the international series of Sunday school lessons, and If that is all you will not understand the deeper and grandOr meanings of the Bible so well as that Christian mountaineer, .who Sunday inoruing, after having shaken down the fodder for the cattle, conies into his cabin, takes up his well worn Bible, and with's prayer that stirs the heavens asks for the Holy Ghost to unfold the -book. No more unreasonable would I be if I should take, up The NovoeVremya of St. Petersburg, all printed In Russian, and say, "There is no sense in this news- paper, for 1 eaueot understand ono lino of all its columns," than for any man to talk° up the Bible and without getting Holy 'Ghoet illumination as to its mean- ing say: "This book insults .my common sense. I cannot understand it: Away with She incongruity!" No one but. the Holy Ghost, who inspired the Scriptures, can explain the Scriptures. .17tillyrealize that, and you will be as enthusiastic a lover of the old bock as my venerable friend who told me in Philadelphia last week that he was reading the Bible through the fifty- -ail:3th Mine, and it became more attractive Ind thrilling every time he went through It. In the .saddle bags that hung across my horse's back as I rode from Jerusalem 2owu to the Dead sea and up to Damaschs I had all the hooks about Palestine' that I could carry, but =nye man on his knees In the privacy -of his own room has had flashed upon him more vivid appreciation of the wofd.of God than many Et man who has visited all the scenes of Christ's birth, and Paul's eloquence, and Peter's impris- onment, and Joshua's prowess, and Eli- jah's aiieension. I do not depreciate any if the helps for Bible study, but I do say that they an together come -infinitely short without a direct communication from the throne of God, in response to prayerful solicitation. . We may find many -interest- • ing things about the Bible without espeoial illumination'as how many horses Solo- mon had. in his stables, or how long was Noah's ark, or who was the only woman whose full ,name is given in thb Scrip- ture, or which is the middle verso of the Bible, and all that will do -you n more , good than to be able to tell how many beanpoles there are in your neighbor's garden. The learned Earl of Chatham board the famous Mr. Cecil 'preach. about the Holy Ghost and said to a friend on the way home from church,: "I could not under- stand it, and do you: suppose anybody un- dorstood it?" "Oh, yes," said his Chris - thin friend, "there were uneducated wom- en and some little -children present who understood it:' I warrant you, that the Englith soldier had under supernal influ- ence read the book, for after the battle of Inkerman was over he was found dead ;with his hand glued to the page of the open Bible by his own blood, and the words adhered to his hands as they buried him, "lam the resurrection and, the life; he that believeth in 113e, though dead, yet shall he live." As a Regenerator. Nextconsider the Holy Ghost as a hu- man reconstructor. We must bo made over again. Christ and Nieodemus talked about it. Theologians call it regeneration. I do not care what you call it, but we have to be reconstructed by the Holy Ghost. We become now creatures, hating what we once loved and loving what we once hated. If sin were a luxury, it must be- come a detestation. If we preferred bad associations, we must prefer good associa- tions. In most cases it is such a complete change that the world notices the differ- ence and begins to ask: "What has come over that man? Whom has he been with? What has so affected him? What has ran- sacked his entire nature? What has turned him square about?'" Take two pictures of Paul—one on the road to Damascus to hill the disciples of Christ; the other on the road to Ostia to die for Christ. Come nearer home find look at the man who found his chief delight in a low class of clubrooms, hiccoughing around the card table and then stumbling down 'the front steps after midnight and staggering homeward, and that same man ono week afterward with his family on the way to a prayer meeting. What has do's° it? It must be something tremendous. It must be. God. It must be the Holy Ghost. Notice the Holy Ghost as the solaeer of broken hearts. Christ calls him the com- forter. Nothing does the world so much ‘-want as comfort. The most of people have been abused, misrepresented, cheated, lied about, swindled, bereft. What is needed is balsam for the wounds, lantern for dark roads, rescue from maligning pursuers, a lift from the marble slab of tombstones. Life to most has been a semifailure. They have not got what they wanted. They have not reached that which they started for. Friends -betray. Change of business stand loses old custom and does not bring enough custom to make up for the loss. Health becomes precarious when ono most needs strong muscle, and steady nerve, and clear brain. Out of this audience of thousands and thousands, if I should ass. all those who have been unhurt in the struggle of life to stand up, or all stand- ing to hold up their right hand, not one would move. Oh,- how much wo need the Holy Ghost as comforter! Ho recites the sweet gospel proinises .to the hardly bestead. Ile assures of mercy mingled with the severities. He consoles with thoughts of coming release. He tolls of a heaven whore tear is never wept, and burden is never carried, and injustice is never suffered. Comfort for all the young people who are maltreated at home, or re- ceive insufficient income, or are robbed of, their schooling, or kept back from posi- tions they have earned by the putting forward of others less Worthy. Comfort for all these men and women midway in the path of life worn out with what they have already gone through. and with no brightening future. Comfort for these aged ones antid many infirmities and who feel themselves to be in the way in the home or busifiess which themselves estab- lished with their own grit. ,; Comfort From Within. The Holy Ghost comfort I think general- ly comes in the shape of a soliloquy. You find yourself saying to yourself: "Well, I ought not to go on this way about my mothoes death. She had suffered enough. She had borne other people's burdens long enough. I am glad that father and moth- er aro together in heaven, and they will be waiting,to greet us, and it will be only a little while anyhow, and God makes no mistakes," or you soliloquize, saying: "It is hard to lose my property. I am sure I worked bard enough for it. But God will take care of us, and, as to the. children, the money might have spoiled them, and wo find that those whohave to struggle for themselves generally turn out best, and it will all be well if • this upsetting of our 'worldly resources leads us to lay up treas- ures in heaven." Or you soliloquize, say- ing: "It was hard to give up that boy when the Lord took him. I expected great things of him, and, oh, how we miss him out of the house, and there aro so many things I come across that make one think of him, and he was such a splendid fellow, but then what an escape he has made from the temptations and sorrows which come to all who grow up, and it is a grand thing to have him safe from all possible harm, and there are all those Bible prom- ises for parents who have lost children, and we shall feel a drawing heavenward that we could not have otherwise exp2ri- enced." And after you have said that you get that relief which comes from an out- burst of tears. I do not say to you, as some say, do not cry. God pity people in trouble who have the parched eyeball, and the dry eyelid, and cannot shed a tear. That makes maniacs. To God's people tears are the dews of the night dashed with sunrise. I am so glad you can weep. But you think these things you say to yourself aro only soliloquies: No, no. They are the Comforter, who is tho Holy Ghost. Notice also the Holy Ghost as the preach- er's re -enforcement. You and I have known preachers encyclopedic in knowl- edge, brilliant as an iceberg when the sun emites its, and with Chesterfieldian ad- dress, and rhetorical hand uplifted with diamond big enough to dazzle an assem- bly, and so surcharged with vocabulary that when they loft this life it might be said of each of them as De Quineey said of another that in the act of dying he com- mitted a robbery, absconding with a valu- able polyglot dictionary, yet no awaken- ing or ,converting or sanctifying result, while scene plain man, with humblest phraseology, has seen audiences whohned with religions influence. It was the Holy Ghost. What a useful . thing it would bo if every minister would give the history of his sermons! Years ago at an out- door meeting in the state of New York I preached to many thousands. There had been much prayer on the grounds for a post outpouring of, the Holy Ghost at that service, and the awakening newer ex - seeded anything I ever witnessed since I be- gan to preach, with perhaps the exception elr two or three occasions. Clergymen and Christians workers by the soore and bun- drods expressed themselves as having been blessed during the service. That afternoon I took the train, for an outdoor meeting in the state of Ohio, where I was to preach on the night of the next day.' As the ser- mon had proved so useful the day before, and the theme was fresh in my mind, I resolved to reproduce it and did reproduce . It as far as I could, but the result was nothing at all. Never had I seemed to have anything to do with a flatter failure. What was the difference between the two services? Some will say, "You were tired with a long journey." No. I was not tired at all. Seine will say: "The temporal cir- cumstances in the first case were more fa- vorable than in the last," No, they were more favorable in the last. The difference was in the power of the Holy Ghost. Mightily present at the first service. No seemingly present at all at the second. call upon the ministers of America to give f the history of sormOns, for I believe it will illustrate as nothing elso can the truth o that Scripture, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saitli the Lord." An Evceptional Service. On the Sabbath of the dedication of one of our churches in Brooklyn at the morn- ing service 828 souls stood up to profess Christ. They were the converts in the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where we bad been worshiping. The reception of so many menibers„ and many of them bap- tized by immersion, had made it an ardu- ous service, which continued from half past 10 in the morning until half past 2 in the afternoon. From that service we went home exhausted, because there is nothing so exhausting as deep emotion. A mes- senger was sent out to obtain a preacher for that night, but the search was unsue- cessful, as all the ministers were engaged for some- other place. With no preparation at all for the evening service, except the looking in Cruden's Concordance for a text, and feeling almost too weary to stand up, I began the service, saying audibly while the opening song was being sung, although because of the singing udone but God ,heard it: "0 Lord, thou knowest my insufficiency for this serVices Como down in gracious powor upon this people." The place was shaken with the divine presence. -.As far as we could find out, over 400 persons wore converted that night: Hear it, all young men entering the min- istry; hear it, all Christian workers. It was the Holy Ghost. In the Second Reformed Church of Somerville, N. J., in my boyhood days, Mr. Osborne, the evangelist, came to hold a special service. I see him now as he stood in the pulpit. Before he announced his text, and before he had uttered a word of his sermon, strong men wept aloud, and it was like the day of judgment. It was the Holy Ghost. In 185.7 the electric telegraph bore strange messages. One of them read, "My dear parents ‘vill rejoice to hear that I have found' peace with God." Another road: "Dear -411other--The work continues, and I, too, have been converted." .Aooth- er read, "At last faith and peace." In Vermont a religious meeting was singing the hymn "Waiting and Watching For Me." The song rolled out on the night air, and a man halted and said, "I wonder if there will be any one waiting and watching for me?" It started him heavenward. What was it? The Holy Ghost. - Inttliat 1857 Jaynes' hall, Phila- delphia, and 'Fulton street prayer meet- ing, New York, telegraphed each other tho number of souls saved and the rising of the devotional tides. Noonday prayer meeting were held in all the cities. Ships came, into harbor, captain and all the sail- ors saved on that voyage. Police and fire departments met in their roomS for divine worship. At Albany the legislature of the state of New York assembled in the rooms of the court of appeals for religious serv- ices: Congressional union prayer meeting 'was opened at Washington. From whence came the power? From the Holy Ghost. That power shook New York. That power shook America. That power shook the Atlantic ocean. That power shook the earth. That power would take this entire audience into _ the peace of the gospel quicker than you could lift your eyes heavenward. 'Come, Holy Ghostl Come, Holy Ghost! He has come! Ho is here! I feel him in my heart. There are thou- sands who feellii ne in their hearts, convict- ing some, saving Some, sanctifying some. Words of an Evangelist. The difference in evangelical usefulness IS not so much a difference in brain, in scholarship or elocutionary gifts as in Holy Ghost power. You will not have much surprise at the extraordinary career of Charles G. Finney as a soul. winner if You know that goon after his conversion he had this experience of the Paraclete.
