Dr. Talmage Draws Some Startling., Lessons Prom a Unique Text-Beyalty Disguhic-The Accuracy of God's Provident:es In the Universe. WAsEINGTON, Dec. 13. -In this sermon from a Bableseene never used in sermonic disceurse Dr. Talmage draws some star- tling lessons and tears off the mask of de- ceit. The text is Kings elle 6, "Why feigne,st thou thyself to be another?" In the palace of wicked Jeroboam there eines have failed ; skill's exhausted; Young Abijah, the prince, bas jived long enough to become very popular,' and yet he must die unlesasome supernattral aid be afford- ed. Death comes up the broad stain of the palace and swings bac* the door of the sickroom. of malty and stands looking at the dying 'print: with the dart uplifted, Wicked Jerrob.. Pe knows. that be has no right to ask anything of theeLord in the way of kindness. He knows that bis pray- ers would not be answered, and so be sends hie wife OD the delicateand tender mission to the arophet of the Lord in Shilob. Put- ting aside her royal attire, she puts tin tbe garb of a peaeant woman and starts on the road. Instead of carrying gold and gems tie she might have carried from the palade she carries only thoie gifts whieb seem to indle,ate that she belongs to the peasantry -a few loaves of bread and a few oracknels and a &use of honey. Yonder She goes, hoodedend veiled, the greatest lady in all the kingdom, yet passing unobserved. No one that meets her on the higbway has 'any idea that she is the fiest lady in all the land. She. is a queen in disgUise. The fact is that Peter the Great work- ing in the dry docks of Saatdam, the sail- or's bat. and the shipwright's ax gave him no More thorough disguise than the garb of the peasant woman gave to the queen of Tireab. But the prophet of the Lord saw the deceit .Although bis pbysical eyesight had failed, he Was divinely illumined, and at one glance looked. through the imposi- tion, and be celed, out: "Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam! !Why feignest thou thy- self to be another? t I bave evil tidings for thee. Get thee back to thy honse, and when thy feet touch the gatoof the city the child shall .die." She had a right to ask for the recovery of her son; she aad no right to prectice an impoeition. Broken hearted now, she started on the way, the tears falling on the dust of the road all the way from Shiloh to Tirzah. Broken heart- ed now, she is not careful any more to hide her queenly gait and manner. True to the prophecy., the moment her feet touch the gate of ,the city the child dies. As she goes lO the soul of the child goes out. The ory theepalace is jcsined by the lamentation to his grave the air is filled with the voice of eulegy for th'e departed youth and the groan of an afflicted kingdom. A Thrilling Story. It is for ne- insignificant purpase thatI present you the thrilling story of the text. In the first place I learn that wickedness involves others, trying to make them its dupen its allies and its scapegoats. Jere- aoane proposed to hoodwink the Lord's piiaphet. How did he do it? Did he go and do the work himself? No. He sent bid wife to do it. Hers the peril of ex: atrium, hers tbe fatigue of the way, hers the execution of the pl t; his, nothing. Iniquity is a brag, aut it a s a great coward. It lays the plan and gets some one gee to execute it; puts down „ the guppowder train and -gets some one gee to touch ia off ; - contrives, mischief and gets some one lase to work it; starts a lie and gets someone else to circulate it. In nearly all the great (alines of the world it Is found out that those who planned the arson, the murder, the theft, the fraud go free while those who were decoyed and cheated and hood- winkediinto the conspiracy clankethe chain and mount the gallows. Aaron Burrovith heart filled with im- purity and ambition, plots for the over- throw of the ;United States government and get§ off with a few threats and a little ceasure, while Blennerhaseett, the learned nerhassett, is decoyed by him from the orchards, and the laboratories and the gar- dens; and 'the home on the bank of the Ohio river, and his fortunes are scattered, and he is thrown into prison, and his fam- ily, brought up in luxury,' is turned out to die. Aboiainable .Aaron Blur has it corn- Paratively easy. Sweet tempered Blenner- baesett has it hard. Benedict Arnold pro- posed to seltout tbe foits of the United 8tates; to surrender the Revolutionary atnia and to destroy the United States gov- ernment. He gets off with ais pockets full of pounds sterling, while Major Andre, the brave and the brilliant, is. decoyed into the veneptracei and suffers ;on the gibbet on tbe banks of the Hudson; so that even the literature -the marble tablature that commemorated that event -has been blast- ed by enidnight desperadoes. Benedict Ar- nold base it easy. Major Andre bee it bard. I have noticed that nine -tenths Of those who gilder for crimes are merely the satel- lites of some great villains. Ignominious fraud is a juggler which by sleightef band and legerdemain makes the gold that it stole appear lin somebody else's pocket. Jeraboam plots the lie, contrivee the im-, positien, and gets his wife to execute et. Stand off from. all imposition and chican- etw. 'Do not consent to be anybody's dupe, anybody's ally in wickedness, anybody's The story of 'the text also impresses me with the fact that royalty sometimes passes in •disguise. The frock, the -veil, sthe hood of the peasant woman bid the queenly character of this woman of Tirzab. Nobody suspected that she was a queen or ai princess as she passed by, but She was just as much a queen as though she stood in the palace, her relies incrusted with diamonds. Aud so all around abdut us there are princesses and queens whom the world does not recognize. They sit On no throne of royalty, they ride in no chariot, they elicit no huzza, they make no pre- tense, but by the grace of God they are ptincesees and they are queens; some- times, in their poverty, sometimes in their, self denialesometimes in their hard strug- gles of Christian service-. God knows they ate queens. The world does not relcognize them. Royaltypassing in disguise, kings with- oht the crown, conquerors without the empresses without the jewel. You IltSw her yesterday on the street. You saw nothing important in her appearance, but ehe is regnant over a vast realm of vietue binim, ever looked at. You went down into the house of destitution and want and suf- fering. You saw the story of trial written on the wasted hand of the inotber, on the Pale cheeks of the children, on the empty bread tray, on the tireless bearth, on tho brokeu 'chair. You would not have given a dialer for all the furniture in the house. But by the grace Of God she is a princess. The overseers of .the poor come there and discuss the case and say, "It's a pauper." They do not realize that God bas burnished bar her a croWn, and that aftbr she ha's got through the fatigu ng journey from Tirzah to Shiloh and from Shiloh back to Tireala , there will bee throne of royalty on which she shall rest forever. Glory veiled. Af- fillence hidden. Eternal raptures bushed lip. A queen na masa. A princess in al The Queen In Disguise. When you think of a queen you do net; thitik of Cathetine of Russia, or Marta Thereese of Germany, or Mary, queen Of Scots, When you think of a queen, you' think of a plain Woman who sat opposite your father at the table or walked wit I him down the path of life arm in arm, sometimes to the Thanksgiving banquo sometimes to the graye, butialways side b side, soothing your little sorrows and ad justing your little quarrels, listening t your evening prayer, toiling with the nee die or at the spinning wheel, and on col nights tucking you up snug and entrlil And then on that dark day when she la a -dying, putting thosefthin hands that ba toiled for you so icing, putting them to wither in a dying prayer commending yo to that God in whom she had taught yo to trust. Oh, she was the queen, she wa the queen! You pannot think of bar no your soul stirred, and you feel as if yo could cry as though you were now sittin in infancy on ber lap, and if you call he back to speak your name'with the tende be willing now to throw yourself on th sod that covers her grave, crYing, "Moth er, mother!" Ah, she was the queen! Yo father knew it. You knew it. She wa the queen, but the queen in Marais& The' world did not reoognize it. But there was -a grander disguising, Tile favorite of if great house looked out of the window of his pelace, and he saw that the people were; earrying heavy burdens, and that some of then] were hobbling on crutches. ma he saw some lying at the gate exhibiting their sores, and then he heard their hunentation, and he said: " I will just put on the clothes of those poor people, and I will goalown and see what their sorrows are, and I willi sympathize with them, end I will be'one of then], and I will help them." Well, the day came for him to start. The lords of the land came o see him off. All who could sing joined in the partiug song, which- shook the hills and woke up the shepherds. The first few nights he bas been geeping with the hos- gees and the camel drivers, for no one knew there was a King in town. He went among the doctors of the law, astounding these, for without any doctor's gown he knew more law than any doctors. He fished' with the fisherneen.

Ignorance comes ;along, per - baps in the dieguise of medical sciences, and carries them captive, for there are al- ways some men who have found some strange and mysterious weed in some strange placeand plucked it in the moon- shine, and then they cover the 6,oard fences with the edvertisements of "elixir" and "pataceas" and "Indian mixtures" and "ineffable eataplasnis" and "unfailing die - Stun ar.d scarify and poultice and kill half the race.

He was splashed of the surf of the sea. A pilgrim without any pillow. A sick man without any medicament. A mourner with no sympathetic bosom in which he could pour his tears. Disguise complete, I know that occasionally his -divine royalty flashednut as when in the storm on Gali- lee, as in the red wine at the wedaing ban- quet, as when he freed the shackled de- moniac of Gadara as when he turned a whole sebool of fish into the net of the dis- couraged boatinen as when he throbbed life into the shrivel'ed arm of the paralytic, but for the most part he was in diegnise. No one saw the King's jewels in his san- dal. No one saw the royal robe in his plain coat. No orie knew that that shel- terless Chriat owned ail the Inansions in whiciathe hierarchs of heaven had their habitation. None knew that that hun- gered Christ owned all the cribs° groves and all the harveits which shook theit gold on the hills of Palestine. No one knew that he who said "I thirst!" poured the kneW that the oceah lay in the palm of his band like a dewdrop in the vase of a lily. No one knew that the stars and moons and -suns and galaxies and constellations at inarchea on age after age were, as pared with his lifetime, the operate of a firefly on a summer night No one knew that the sun in midheaven was only the shadow of bis throne. No one knew that his orown of. universal dominion was cov- erect up with a bunch of thorns. Omnip- otence sheathed in a human body. Omnis- cience bidden in a human eye. Infinite love beating in a human beart. Everlast- ing harmonies subdued into a human voice. Royalty en masque, Grateleurs of heaven in earthly disguise. My subject also Janitresses me with how people put on masks and how the Lord tears them off. It was a terrible moment in the history of this woman of Tirzah wben the prophet accosted her, practically saying: "I know who you are. You can- not °beat me. , You cannot impose upon me. Why feignest thou thyself to be an- other?" She bad a right to ask for the restoration of her son; she bad noright to practice that faleehood. It is never right to do wropg. Sometimes you may be able' to conceal an affair. sIt is not necessary to tell everything. There is a oatural pres- sure to the lips which seems to indicate that diem sometimes itt right. but for diirness and doom and death all two mom men, and all charlatans, and all knaves, and all jockeys, and all swindler's. Behold how the people put oil the.masks, and be- hold how the Lord tears them off! - God's Frovidenees. My subjeCt also impresses me vslth how precise and accurate and particular, are God'e paovidences. Just at the moment that Woman entered the city the child died. Just 4s it' was prophesied, so it turned.oute so it' alvvears turns out. The event oc- curs, the death' takes place, the nation is born, the despotisni is overthrown af the appoioted time. Gcid drives the universe with a stiff rein. Events do not just hap- pen se. Things do not go slipshod. In all the book of God's providenoes there is not ,one "lit " God's , providences are never caught in dishabille. itTo God there are no surpriees, no disappointments and no acci- dents.' The most insigoificant event flung out iti the ages is the connecting link be- tweentyvo great chains -the chain of eter- nity past and the chain of eternItY to come. pletely wretched if I did not feel that all the affairs of inY life are in God's band \and at' that pertains to me and mine, just as certainly as all the affairs ot this wom- an of the text, as this child of the text, as this king of the text, were in God's band.
