You cannot_ understand. Who oan?
You try to eonfound me. I am con-
founded before you speak. Paul said it
was unsearchablee He went climbing up
from argument to argument, and froni
antithesis to antithesis; and from glory
to glory, and then sank down in exhaus-
tion as he saw far ahoy him other
heights of divinity unsealed, and ex-
claimed "that in all things he might
have the pre-eminence."
Again, Christ was Wortderful in his
teaching. The people had been used to
formalities and technicalities. Christ
upset all their notions as to how preach-
ing aught to be done. There was this
peculiarity about his preaching -the peo-
ple knew what he meant. His illustra-
tions were taken from the hen calling
her chickens together, from salt, from
candles, from fishing trial% from a hard
creditor collaring a debtor. How few
pulpits of this day would have allowed
bim entrance! He would have been called
undignified and.faniiliar in his style of
preaching, and yet the people went to
hear him. Those old Jewish rabbiirmight
have preached on the side of Olivet 50
years and never got an audience. The
philosophers sneered at his ministrations
and said, "this will never dot" The
lawyers caricatured, but the common
people heard him gladly. Suppose you
that there were any sleepy people in his
audiences? Suppose you that any woman
who ever mixed bread was ignorant of
what he meant when he compared the
kingdom of heaven with leaven or yeast?
Suppose you that the sunburned fisher-
men, with the fish scales upon their
hands, were listless when he spoke of
the kingdom of heaven as a net? We
spend three years in college studying
ancient mythology and three years in the
theological seminary learning 'how to
make a sermon, and then we go out to
save the world; and if we cannot do it

Blair's "Rhetoric," or Karnes' "Critio].
ism," we will let the world go to perdt-
don, If we save nothing else, we will
save Claude and Blair. We see a wreck
in sight. • We must go out and save the
crew and passengers. We wait until we
get on our fine cap and coat, and find
our shining oars, and then we push out
methodically and scientifically while
some plain shdresman in rough fishing
smack and with broken oarlock goes out
and gets the crew and passengers and
brings them ashore in safety. We throw
down our delicate oars and say: "What
a ridiculous thing to save men in that
way! You ought to have done it scient-
ifically and beautifully!' "Ah !" says
the shoresman. "if those sufferers had
yraited Until you got out your fine boat,
they would lave gone to the bottom."
The work of a religious teacher is to
save men, and though every law of
grammar should. be snapped in the
undertaking, and there be nothing but
awkivardness and blundering in the
mode, all hail to the man who saves a
soul.
Christ's Sympathy.
Christ, in his preaching, wa.s plain,
earnest and wonderfully sympathetic.
We cannot dragoon men into heaven. We
cannot drive them in with the butt end
of a catechism. We waste our time in
trying to catch flies with acids instead
of the sweet honeycomb of the gospel.
We try to make crab apples do the work
of pomegranates.
, Again, Jesus was wonderful in his
sorrows. The sun smote him and the
cold chilled him, thenain pelted him,
thirst parched him and hunger exhausted
him. - Shall I compare his sorrow to the
sea? No, for that is sometimes hushed
into acalm. Shall I compare it with the
night? No, for that sometimes gleams
with Orion, or kindles with Aurora. If
one thorn should be thrust through your
temple, you would faint, but here is a
whole crown made from the rhamnus, or
spina Christi -small, sharp, stinging
thorns The mob makes a cross. They
put down the long beam, and on it they
fasten a shorter beam. Got him at last.
Those hands, that have been doing kind-
nesses and wiping away tears -hear the
hatnmer driving the- spikes through
them. Those feet, that have been going
about on ministrations of mercy -bat-
tered against the cross. Then they lift it
up. Look, look, Jook! Who will help him
now? Come. men of Jerusalem, ye -whose
,dead he brought to life, ye whose sick
he healed, who will help him, who will
seize the weapons of the soldiers? None
to help! Having carried such a cross for
us; shall we refuse to take our cross for
h ?
Shall Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
- No; there's a cross for every one,
'And there's a cross for me.
You know the process of ingrafting.
You Lore a hole into a tree and put in
the branch of another tree. This tree of
the cross was hard and rough, but into
the holes where the nails went there
have been grafted branithes of the tree
of life that now bear fruit for all nations.
The original tree was bitter, but the
branches ingrafted were sweet, and so
all the nations pluck the fruit and live

DK TALMAGE REGARDS CHRIST
FROM AN UNUSUAL
STANDPOINT.
Sermon on the Prophecy of Isaiah. "MIs
Name Shall be Wonderful". -Dr. Talmage
Denies Reports of His Dissatisfaction
With His Church. •
, Washington, Aug. 8. -Dr. Talmage,
referring to recent reports as to the san-
er:nice of his present pastoral relations,
has authorized the following statement: -
"I have denounced the infamous false-
hood concerning my dissatisfaction with
nay Washington °Much and the state-
ment that I had determined not to re-
turn there. Relations between that oon-
gregation and myself are perfectly happy,
and the church has met all its oblige-
tione to me. Our attendance was larger
last year than ever before, . many more
people coming than we could accommo-
date. I w
ill be in my regular pulpit the
second eabbath in September."
In th discourse below by Dr. Talmage
Christ s looked at from an unusual
standpoint. His text is Isaiah ix, 6,
"His mains shall be called wenderful,"
The prophet lived in a dark time.For
some 8,000 years the world - had "been
getting worse. Kingdoms had arisen and
perished. As the captain of a vessel in
distress sues relief corning across the
water, so the prophet amid the stormy
times in which he lived, put the tele-
scope of prophecy to hie eye and saw 750
years ahead one Jesus advancing to the
rescue. I want to show that when Isaiah
called Christ the Wonderful he spoke
wisely.
Popular Pictures of Christ.
In most houses there is a picture of
Christ. Sometimes it represents him with
face effeminate; sometimes with a face
despotic:. I have seen West's grand sketch
of the rejection of Christ; I have seen
the face of Christ as cut on an emerald;
said to be by command of Tiberius
thesar, and yet I am convinced that I
shall never know how Jesus looked
until, on that sweet Sabbath morning, I
shall wash the lag sleep from my eyes
in the cool river of heaven. I take up
this book of divine photographs, and I
leek at Luke's sketch, at John's sketch
and at Paul's sketch, and I say, With
IS01011, "Wonderful !"
I think that you are all ,interested in
the story of Christ. You feel that he is
She only one who can help you. You have
unbounded admiration for the command-
er who helped his passengers ashore while
he himself perished, but have you no
admiration for him who reecued our
souls, himself _falling back Jae the
waters from which he had saved us?
Christ was wonderful in the magnet-
ism of his person.
.A.Iter the battle of Antietam, when a
general rode along the lines, although_
the soldiers were lying down exhausted,
they rose with great enthusiasm and
huzzaed. As Napoleon returned from his
captivity his first step on the wharf
shook all the kingdoms, and 250,000 men
joined hie standard. It took 3,000 troops
to wateh him in Ms exile. So there have
been Men of wonderful magnetism of
portion, but hear me while I tell you of
a poor young man who came up from
Nazareth to produce a thrill such as has
never been excited by any other. Napo-
leon had around him the memories of
Austerlitz and Jena and Badajos, but
here was a man who had fought no
battles, who wore no epaulets, who
brandished no sword. He is no titled
man of the schools, for he never went to
school. He had probably never seen a
prince or shaken bands with a nobleman.
The only extraordinary person we know
of as being in his company was his own
mother, and she was so poor that in the
most delicate and solemn hour that ever
comes to a woman's soul she was obliged
to lie down amid camel drivers groom-
ing the beasts of burden.
I imagine Christ one day standing in
the streets of Jerusalem. A man descend;
ed from high lineage is standing beside
him, and nays: "My father" was a mer-
chant prince. He had a castle on the
beach at Galilee.. Whe was your father?"
Christ answers, "Joseph, the carpenter."
A man from Athens is standing there
unrolling his parchment of graduation,
and says to Christ, "Where did you go
to school?" Christ answers, "I never
graduated." -Aha! The idea of such an
unheralded young man attempting to
command the attention 01 the world! As
well some littledishing village on Long
Island shore_ attempt to arraign New
York. Yet no sootier does he set foot in
the towns or' cities of Judaea than every -
thine is in commotion. The people go
out on a picnic, taking only food enough
for the day, yet aro so fascinated they
follow him out into the wilderness. A
nobleman falls down fiat before him, and
says, "Lord, that my eyes may be
opened." A poor, sick, panting woman,
pressing through the crowd, says, "I
rgust touch the hem of his garment."
Children, who love their. mother better
than any 000 else, struggle to get lace
his arms, and to kiss his cheek, and to
run their fingers through his hair, and
for all time putting Jesus so in love with
the little ones that there is hardly a nur-
sery in Christendom from which he does
not take one, saying: "I must have
them. I will fill heaven with these, for
every cedar that I Plant in heaven I will
have 60 white lilies. In the hour when I
was a poor man in Judaea they were
not ashamed of me, and now that I have
come to a throne I do not despise': them.
Hold it not back, oh, weeping mother!
Lay it on my warm heart. Of such is the
kingdom of. heaven."
What is this coming down the read?
A triumphal procession. He is seated -
not in a chariot, but on an ass, and yet
the people take off their coats and throw
them in_ the wan. Oh, what a, time Jesus
made among the children, among the
beggars, among the fishermen, among
the philosophers! You may boast of self
control, . but if you bad seen him you
would have put your arms around his
neck and said, "Thou art altogether _
lovely."
Apparent inconsistencies.
Jesus was wonderful in the -opposites
and seeming antagonism in his nature.
You want things logical and consistent,
and you say, "How could Christ be God
and man at the same time?" John says
Christ was the Creator.
"All things were made by him, and
without him was not anything made."
Matthew says that he was omnipresent
"Where two or three are met together in
my name, there am I in the midst' of
them." Christ declares Ms own eternity.
"1 am Alpha and Omega." How can he
be a lion, uader his foot crushing king-
doms, and yet a lamb, 'hiking the had
Shat slays him? At what point do, the
throne and the manger touch? If Christ
was God, why flee into Egypt? Why not
stand his,ground? Why, instead of bear-
ing the cross, not lift up his right hand
and crush his assassins? Why stand and
be spat Upon? Why sleep on the moun-
tain, when he owned the palaces of eter-
nity? Why catch fish for his breakfast on
the beach in the chill morning, when all
the pomegranates are his, and all the
vineverstnibiss and all the_cattle his. and

_
them, and when a limb is once dead it
is dead. But here is a paralytic, his hand
lifeless. Christ says to him, "Stretch
forth' thy hand!" and he stretches it
forth.
In the eye infirmary how many dis-
eases of that delicate. organ have been
cured. But Jesus says to one born blind,
"Be open!" and the light of heaven
rushes through gates that have never
before been opened. The frost or an axe
may kill a tree, but Jesus smites one
dead with a word.
Chemistry can do many wonderful
things but what chemist at a wedding
when ihe refreshment gave out could
change a pail of water into a cask of
wine?

bles; the Star of Bethlehem, it sang a

Victory Over the grave°.
*hold his victori, over the grave! .The
hinges of the family vault become very
rusty because they are never opened ex-
cept to take another in. There is a knob
on the outside of the sepulchre'but none
on the inside Here Icomes the Conqueror
of Death. He enters that realm and sayst.
"Datighter of Jaritis, sit up," and she
sat up. ,To Lazaru% "Come forth," and
he came forth. To the widow's son he
said, "Get up from that bier," and he
goes home with hie mother. Then' Jesus
matched tip the keys of death and hung
• them to his girdle and cried until all the
graveyards of the earth heard him: "0
death, will be thy plague! 0 grave, I
will be thy destruction!"
But Christ's victories have only jug
begun. This world is his, and he must
have it. What is the matter in this coun-
try? Why all these finanolal troubles?
There never will be permanent prosperity
in this land until Christ rules' it. This
land was discovered for Christ, and. until
our pities shall be evangelized and north,
south, east and west shall acknowledge
Christ as King and Redeemer we cannot
have permanent prosperity. What is the
Matter with Spain, with France, with
all of the nations? All the congresses of
the nations cannot bring quiet. When
governments not only theoretically but
practically acknowledge the Saviour of
the world, there will be peace every
where. In that day the sea will have
more ships than now, but there will not
he one "inan-of-war." The foundries of
the world will jar with mightier indust-
ries, but there will be no molding of
bullets. Printing presses will fly their
cylinders with greater speed, but there
shall go forth no iniquitous trath. In
laws, in constitutions, on exchabge, in
scientifie laboratory, on earth as in hea-
ven, Christ shall be called Wonderful.
Let that work of the world's regenera-
tion begin in your heart. 0 hearer! A
Jesus so kind, a Jesus so good, a Jesus
so loving! How can you help but love
him?
Itis a beautliul moment when two
persons who have Wedged each other
heart and, hand staid in church and
have the -banns of marriage proclaimed. ,
Father and mother, brothers and sisters
stand around the.altar. The minister of
Jesus gives the counsel, the ring is set,
earth and heaven .witness it, the organ
sounds, and amid many congratulations
they start out on the path of life together.
Oh, that this might be your marriage
day! Stand up, immortal soul! Thy
Beloved comes- to get his betrothed.
Jesus stretches forth his hand and says,
"I will love thee with ah everlasting
love," and you respond, "My Beloved is
mine, and I am his." I put your hand
In his. Henceforth be one. No trouble
shill part you, no time cool your love.
Side by side on earth, side by side in
heaven. Now let the blossoms of heaven-
ly gardens fill the house with their redol-
ence and all the organs of God peal forth
the wedding march of eternity. 'Hark!
"The voice of my believed! Behold, he
cometh, leaping upon the mountates,
skipping upon the hills!" •
Designing a Vessel.
Nowadays very little latitude is left to
designer, especially in cargo vessels, as
the builder has generally to conform to
She rules of some registry society and
obtain its classification. Of these socie-
ties there are a oonsiderabie number. The
most important are Lloyd's Registry For
the British and Foreign Shipping, the
French Bureaus Veritas and the British
Corporation For the Survey and Registry
of Shipping.
Classification has now become practic-
ally compidsory in the United Kingdoni
since the - passi g of the 1890 load line
act and these three bodies are licensed
by the board of trade to assign free
boards along with that board. Now a free
board can only be assigned when a vest
eel is up to a certain standard of strength,
and must be assigned by one of the
above mentioned bodies, and it will thus
be seen that a designer's originality is
much restricted. It is fortunate, however,
that we escaped. the impositfort of a
monopoly in the assignment of free
-boards which nearly became law in 1890,
or even the small freedom which is now
left a designer would by this time have
practically vanished.
The 'designer, therefore, in preparing
his midship section has simply to turn
up the rules of the registry society
chosen, where he will find the scantlings
for the ship of the dimensions chosen
with more or less clearness. -Archibald
Denny in Cassier's Magazine.
Whisky Did It.
Seldom have Shakespeare's words:
"Oh, that men should put an enemy in
their mouths to steal away their brains." .
been so strikingly illustrated as in the
following touching incident related in a
late newspaiter:-
It seems that one of the best Greek
scholars in New York is a guard on the
Sixth avenue elevated road. Not long ago
a famous professor in one of our leading
universities published a volume on cer-
tain features of the ancient Grecian dia-
lee& of interest only to scholars. The L
guard referred to wrote out several er-
rors made by the professor in his book.
He signed himself "Sixth Avenue Ele-
vated Guard, No. -."
A reporter sought out the inan whose
badge bore the number, and after a few
minutes' conversation asked: "How does
it happen that you, a Greek scholar,
should be doing such work as this?" The
man hesitated and his red face flushed
still deeper, but he finally replied: "My
Greek is still what it used to be, but my
tamer has been ruined by whisky."
ENGLISH INTEMPERANCE.
Classifi anon of the Several Types of
Drankenness.
England ranks _as a tolerably hard -
drinking country, and has cheap so since
it took its place in -history, carrying its
liquor, however, with a steadineme which
one has to go to Holland or Kentucky to
see paralleled. Still, legislation for the
control and retgulation of its drinkers is
constantly required, and invites frequent
amplification and revision, leaving, after
all, the statistics of intemperance much
as they were, says the New York Tri-
.bune. In the classification of the intem-
perate a certain proportion are recognized
as ineane drinkers, for whom special
statutory restraints are provided, • and

manifestation of some form of cerebral

with it as a result of injury to the head,

rather trali tfelitiffebt, and 'in
the opinion of the British -Medical As-
sociation should, be liscriminated from
those of the criminal drunkards who re.
quire the application of ordinary penal
and reformatory agencies. The doctors
ought to know more about this shbject
than anybody else, and it is discouraging
that in the main they are obliged to ad-
mit the inadequacy of all expedients to
She correction and remedy of the evil.
Whatever form the disease or vice as-
sumes, it is obstinate or refractory, and
there as here the only thing that society
can do is to battle constantly with ali-
ne manifestations, employing statutory,
hortatory, leducational an all other
means against it without looking for Its
extirpation, and necessarily being con-
tent with a moderate measure of ameli-
oration,
This is a Difference.
Most persons think that the chief
difference between men's and women's
clubs is that the one is intellectually
inclined and the other isn't. But there
are other distinctions. At what organi-
zation of men could the following inci-
dent have taken place? asks the New
Yotle Sun.. It was at a gathering of
feminine clans the other afternoon, and
somebody, With that delightful Irrespon-
slblliSy
conimon to such occasions, want-
ed to know the time.
"Yon see, I forgot and left my watch
at home'," she added, regretfully, if not
officially. "Why, so did I leave mine,"
piped up the president, not to be out -
dens in informality. "So did I„" '"So
did I," chimed in the- secretary 'and the
treasurer, whilethe chairman of the
executive committee announced gravely:
"Mine was already put on, but 1 came
off in smith a hurry that I forgot it, after
all."
All this while however, the first vice.:
itresidant bad been tugging away at her
belt In a business -like way, and she now
protiuced a small timepiece. "Ladies,"
she began, in a virtuous tone, while all
the rest gazed at her with the utmost
respect, "let me give you the time. 'Yea
can always depend upon-" But here'
she was stopped, and, after staring at
the timepiece for full two seconds,- she
began to shake it and rap it in a man-
ner thst might have alarmed any one
unfamiliar with women and their ways.
with watches. .
The gathering before her, however,
being of herown sex, took it all most
seriously. Suddenly the first vice-presi-
dent put the timepiece to .her ear. "Oh,"
she cried, while a sweet smile of satis-
faction irradiated her face, "there's no-
thing the matter, after all. I wound it
this morning, but forgot to set it, that's
all."
Marrying a Man to Reform Him.
"The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of many a young
girl's life," writes Evangelist Dwight L.
Moody, in the Ladies' Home Journal,
"Is the common delusion that a woman
can best reform a xnan by marring Min. ,
It is a mystery to me how people can be
so blinded to the hundreds of cases in
every community where tottering homes
have 'fallen and innocent lives have been
wrecked, because some young girl has
persisted in marrying a scoundrel in the
hope of saving him. I have never known
such a union'and I have seen hundreds
of them, result in anything but sadness
and disaster. Let no young girl think
that she may be able to accomplish what
a loving mother or sympathetic sisters
have been unable to do. Before there is
any contract of marriage there should be
convincing proof that there has been real
and thorough regeneration."
Hard to Reclaim a Drunken Woman. ;
It is not flattering to • women to be
told that when one of their sex gives
iway to drink she is much harder to re-
claim than a man. This statement was
made the other day by Miss Gorham, of
She Church of England Temperance so-
ciety, at the Woman's Guild Conference
in Edinburgh.. She said that after 14
years' experience in the oause of temper-
ance she had.found that it needed three
Christians to bring a man back to so-
briety. and at least six to bring a wo-
man back. She declares that drunken-
ness was much on the increase in Loin
don.

thin, and pale. Exercise
seems to weaken her and

child needs Scott's Emulsion

a food containing all the
elements of growth. It
means rich blood, strong

Scott's Emulsion. It is
