The earth made no demons tion of welcome. If one of the g princes of this world steps out at a de cheers tzesound, and the bands play, the flags wave, But for the arrival of missionary Prince of the skies not a t 'flared, nota trempet blow, not a pli fluttered, All the music and the po were overhead. Our world opened for °thing' better than a barn door. The rajah of Cashmere sent to Qu Victoria a bedstead of carved gold an canopy that cost 8750,000, but the w had for the Prince of Heaven and Et only a litter of straw. The crown jew in the Tower of London amount to $ 000,000, but thia member of eternal roy had nowhere to lay his head. To kn how poor he was ask the camel driv ask the shepherds, ask Mary, askthe three wise mon of the east, who afterward came to Bethlehem, To know how poor be was examine all the records of real estate in all that oriental country and see what vineyard or what field he owned, Not one. Of what mortgage was he the mortgagee? Of what tenement was he the landlord? Of what lease was' he the lessiee? Who eves paid him rent? Not owning the boat on which be sailed, or the beast on which he rode, or the pillow on which he slept. He bad so little estate that in order to pay his tax he had to perform a miracle, putting the amount of the assessment in a fish's mouth and having it hauled ashore. And after his death the world rushed in to take an inventory of his goods, and the entire aggregate was the garments he had worn, sleeping in them by Eight and traveling in them by day, bearing on them the dust of the highway and the saturation of the ilea. St, Paul in my text hitthe mark when he said of the missionary Prince, "For your sakes he became poor." Treading the Wine Press. "RICH, YET FOR YOUR SAKES HE BE- CAME POOR." Bev. nr. Talinage Tells That Remarkable Story er ehrieine Career In a New Wan An Overpowering Contrast—The Coles- ' MI Departure and Earthly Arrival. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—In this discourse of Rev. Dr. Talmage this greatest storyof all time is told in a new _way, and all realms are drawn upon for illustratien. His text was II Corinthians viii, 9, "Ye kW*, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor". That all the worlds which on a cold Winter's night make the heavens one great glitter are without inhabitants is an ab- surdity. Scientists tell us that mons, of these worlds are too hot or toe cold or too rarefied of atmosphere for residence. But, if not fit for human abode, they may De fib for beings .different from and superior to ourselves. We are told that the world of Jupiter is changing and becors-sing fit for creatures like the human race, and that Mars would do for the human family with a little change in the structure of our re- spiratory organs. But that there is a great world swung somewhere, vast beyond Imagination, and that it is,the headquar- ters of the universe and the metropolis of itninensity and has a population in num - hers vast beyond all statistics and appoint- rnents of splendor beyond the capacity of canvas or poem or angel to describe is as certain as the Bible is authentio. Perhaps some of the astronomers with their big telesoopes have already caught a glimpse of it, not knowing what it is. We spell it with six lettertnand pronounce it heaven. That is where Prinoe Jes,us lived 19 cen- turies ago. He was the King's Son. It was thotold hoinestead_of eternity, and all its castles were as old as God. Not a frost bad ever chilled the air. Not a tear had ever rolled down the cheek of one of its in- habitants. There had never been a -head- ache or a side ache or a heart ache. There bad not beers a funeral in the memory/of the oldest inhabitant. There hod never' in all the land been woven a black veil, for there had never been anything to moorn over. Tho passage of millions of years had ndt wrinkled or crippled or bet -Unlined any of its citizens. All the people there were in a state of eternal adolescence. What floral and pomonie richness! Gar- dens of 'Perpetual bloom and orchards in unending fruitage. Had some spirit from another world entered and asked, What is sin? What is bereavement? What is sor- row? What le death? the brightest of the intelligences would have failed to give definition, though to study the question there was silence .in heaven for half an hour. The Prince on .the Throne. The Prince of whom I' speak had honors, emoluments, acclamations mai as no oth- er prince,, celestial or terrestrial, over en- joyed. As he_passed the street the inhab- itants took off from their brows' garlands of white lilies and threw them in the way. -He never entered any of the temples iwith- entail the worshipers rising up and bow- ing in obeisance. In all the processions of the high days he was the one who evoked the loudest welcome, sometimes on foot, walking in loving talk with the humblest of the land, but at other times he tOok chariot, IDLI among the 20,000 that the pstilmistispoke of his was the swiftest and nest &lining, or, as when St. John de- cribed him, he took white palfrey, with what prance of foot, and arch of neck, and roll of mane, and gleam of eye is only dimly suggested in the Apocalypse. He was not like other princes, waiting for the ether to die and then take the throne. When years ago an artist in Germany nade a picture for the royal gallery repre- enting the Emperor William on the hrone and tho Crown Prince as having no foot on the step of the throne, the Ern.. eror William ordered. the picture chap e'aed nd said,"Let the prince keep his footoff he throne till I leave it," i Already enthroned was the heavenly tids rince sido by se with the Father. Whatcircle of dominion I What multitudeof dmirers! What unending round of glo- les! All the towers calmed the Prince's raises. Of all the Inhabitants, from the enter of the city, on over the hills and lear down to the beach against which the cean of immensity rolls its billows, the rine° was the acknowledged favorite. No cinder niy text says that "he was rich:" et all the diamonds of the earth in one center, beild all the palaces of the earth in ne Alhambra, gather all the pearls of the ea in one diadem, put all the values of the irth in one coin, the aggregate couldomt xpross his affluence. Yes, St. Pani was ght. Solomon had in gold 680,000,000 ounds and in silver 1,029,000,877, ounds. But a greater than Solomon hero. Not the millionaire, but the wner of all things.. To describe his elestial surreun din gs the Bible uses I colors, gathering them in rainbow ver the throne, and setting theni as agate the temple window, arid hoisting 12 of am let° a wall, from striped jasper at e base to transparent amethyst in the pstone, whilebetween are green of oilier- doand snow of pearl, and blue of sap - hire, and yellow of topaz, gray of chryso- ase, and flame of jacini. All the love - mass of landscape in foliage and river and 11 and all enchantment aquamarine,gthe apt glass mingled with fire as when the n sinks in the Mediterranean. An the rill of music, instrumental- and vocal, rps, trumpets, doxologies. There stood e Prince, surrounded by those who had der their wings the velocity of millions miles in a second, himself rich in love, h in adoratiw, rich in power, rich in orship, rich in 'holiness, rich in "all the liness of the Godhead bodily." 1 s i a 31 'a 5 et ri Is al in th th ca al ;i 88 su th un of ric fu - Off For the Wreck; , But one day there was a big disaster in a department of God's universe. A race fallen! A world in ruins! Our planet the scene of catastrophe! Aeg obe swinging .. out into darkness, with m 3 untains and seas and islands, an awful centrifugal of sin seeming to overpower the beautiful centripetal of righteousness, and from it a. groan reached heaven. Such a sound had never ?been heard there. Plenty of sweet _sounds, but never an outcry of distress or an ocho of agony. At that one green the Prince rose from all the blissful eircum- ejacence and started from the outer gate and descended into the night of this world. , Out of what a bright harbor into what a . rough seal "Stay with ns," cried angel -after angel and potentate after potentate. "No," said the Prince, "I cannot stay. I must be off for that wreck of a world. I must stop that groan. I must linsh that distress. I must fathom that abyss. I mast redeem those nations. Farewell, thrones and temples, hosts cherultic, se- raphic, archangelicl I will come nback again, carrying on my shoulder a ranahmed world. Till this is done I choose earthly. scoff to heavenly acclamation, and a cattle. pen to a king's palace, frigid zone ofearth to atmosphere of celestial radiance. I have ..,-,.. - . • Do time to Rise, for hark ye to the &roan that grows mightier while 1 wait!. Fare- well! Farewell!" h Ye know the gram of jtir Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor." Was.there ever a contrast so overpower- ing as that between the noonday of Christ's celestial departure and the midnight of his earthly arrival? Sure enough the anel an could', and he did the rest!" 'Ina "the rom height of it, the depth of it, the length of tra- it, the breadth of it, the grace of God! Mr, mat Fletcher having written a paonphiet that ptholts, ana penHato him, and Fletcher answered, pleased the king, the king offered to cpm- 611(1 is only one thing 1 want, and that 73101101 is more grace." Yes, my blood bought . hearers grace to live by and grace to die by. •Geace that saved the publican; that saved him Lydia; that saved the dying thief ; that saved the -jailer; that saved me. But the riches of that grace will not be fully un- derstood instil heaven breaks bi upon the soul. 'An' old Scotchman who had been a soldier in 0130 of the European wars was siok and dying in one of our American hospitals, His one desire was to see Scot- land and his old home and once again walk the heather of the highlands and bear the bagpipes of the Scotch regiments. The night that the old Scotch soldilsr died a young man, somewhat recitiOt 0, but kind hearted, got a company of musicians to come and play under the old soldier's window, and among the instruments there Was a bagpipe. The instant' that the mu - Mature began the dying old Man in delir- ium said: "What's that? What's 'that? Why, it's the ?regiments coming home That's the tune—yes, that's the tune. Thank God, 1 have get home once more!" "Bonnie Scotland and Bonnie Doon!" Were the last words he uttered as he passed up to the highlands of the better country, and there are hundreds homesick for heav- en, some because you have so many be- reavernents, some because you have so many temptations, some because you have ao many ailments—homesick, very home- sick for the fatherland -of heaven, and the music that yon want to hear now is the song of frestgrace, and the music that you want to hear when you die is free grace, and forever before the throne of God you will sing of the "grace of our Lord .7esus Christ, who, though he was rich, for your sakes became poor." For Our Sakes. eon d orld irth els 15,- alty ow ers, The world could have treated him better if it bad chosen. It had all the means for making his earthly condition comfortable. Only a few years before, when Pompey, the general, arrived in Brindisi, he was greeted with arches and a costly column which celebrated the 12,000,000 people whom he had killed- or conquered, and he was al- lowed to wear his triumphal robe in the. senate. The world had applauSa for im- perial butchers, but buffeting for the Prince of Peace; plenty of .golden chalices for the favored to drink out of, but our Prince must put his lips to the buolset of the well .by the roadside after he bad beg!, ged for a drink. Poor? Born in another man's barie and eating at another man's table,and cruising the hike in noother man's fishing smack, and buried in anoth- er Man 'S tomb. "'cisfr inspired authors wrote his biography, and innumerable lives of Christ have been . published, but he composed his autobiography in a most compressed way. He said, "I have trod- den the Will0 press alone." Poor in the estimation of nearly all the prosperous classes. They called him Sab- bath breaker, wine bibberastreitor, blas- phemer and ransacked the dictionary of opprobrium from cover to cover to express their detestation. I can think now of only two well to do men who espouseftis cause —Nieedennis and Jcseph Arimathea. His friends for the most part were people who, in that climate -where ophthalmia or inflammation of the eyeball sweeps ever and anonlas a scourge, had become blind, sick people who were anxious to get well, add troubled people in whose family there was some one dead or dying. If he had a purse at all, it was empty, or we would have heard what the soldiers did with the con- tents. Poor?' The pigeon in the dovecot, the 'rabbit in its burrow, the sillewoten in Ito cocoon, the beo in its hive is better pro- Videti for, better off, bettor sheltered. Aye, the bruto. creation has a h'onio , on earth, which Christ had not. A poet gays: ill on windy days the raven1 I Gambol like a dancing skiff., Not the less he loves his haven On the bosom of the cliff.: If almost with eagle ninion O'er the Alps the chamois roam, Yet he has some small dominion Which no doubt he callabis home. But the Crown Prince of all heavenly dominion has less' than the ravels, less than the chamois,' for he was • homeless. Aye in the history of the universe there is no Aye, instance of such coming down. Who can count the miles from the top of the throne to the bottom of the cross? Cleopatra'giving aelianquet to Antony, took a petu'l worth 8100,000 and dissolved it in vinegar and swallowed it. But when our Prince, according to the evangelist, in his last hours took the vinegar, in • it had been dissolved all the pearls of his heavenly royalty. Down until there was., no other harassment to suffer, poor until there was no other pauperism to torture. Billions of dollars spent in wars to destroy Men, who will furnish the statistics of the value of' that precious blood that was shed to save us? "YO know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, hat, though he was rieh,.yet for our sakes he became poor." The Holy Land. Only those who study this text in two places can f ully realize its power—the Holy Land of Asia Minor and the holy land of heaven. I wish that Some day you might go to the Holy Land and take a drink out of Jacob's 'well, and take a sail an Galilee, and read the sermon on the meet while standing on Olivet, and see the wilderness where Christ was tempted, and be some afternoon on Calvary at about 8 o'clock— the hour sit which closed the cruoifixion— and sib under the sycamoresend by the side of brooks, and think and dream and pray about the poverty of him who came our souis to save. But you may be denied that, and so here, in another Continent and in another hemisphere, and In scenes as different as possible, we recount as well we may how poor was our heavenly Prince. But in the other holy land above we may all study the riches that he left behind when he started for earthly eapedition. Come, let us bargain to ineet each other at the door of the Father's Mansion, or on the bank of the river just where it rolls from under the throne, or at the outside gate. Jesus goethe contrast by exchanging that world for this; we will get it by exchang- ing this world for that. There .'and then you will understand More of the wonders of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, "though he was rich, yet, for your sal 0111 of qu ed the tim a d par to Phi ogy 0 ent of lips boy filed ship salv and Aasnkcel were out that night, in the gli,., And an ces became poor." Yes, grace, free grace, sovereign grace, nipotent grace! Among the thousands words in the language there is no more eenly word. It means free and uhmerit- kindness. My text has no monopoly of word. One hundred and twenty-nine es does the Bible eulogize grace. It is oor aswung wide open to let into the don of God all the millions who choosa enter it. ohn Newton sang of it when he wrote: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. Hp Doddridge put it into all hymnol- when be wrote: Grace, 'tis a charming sound Harmonious to the ear. Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all Ohe earth shall hear. ne of John Bunyan's great books Is itled "Grace Abounding."
