Nend I WIll Make Thy Windows of Agates and Thy Gates of Carbrineles" — How Christ Hoisted the Great Gates of Par- don In His Own B1od. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—From a neg- lected text, and one o most people un- known, Rev. Dr. Tab age this morning produces a sermon am ropriate to individ- ual and national clrciijnstances. The sub- ject was, "Gates of C trbuncle," the text being Isaiah liv, 12, " nd I will make thy windows of agates and thy gates of car- buncles." Perhaps because a human disease of faost painful and °Mimes fatal character is named after it the church and the world have never done justiee to that intense and all duggestive precious stone, the carbunt- selo. The pearl that Chriet picked up to il- lustrate his sermon, and the jasper and the sapphire and the amethyst which tile apoc- alyptic vision masoned into the wall of heaven, have had proper recognition, but this, in all the ages, is the first sermon on the carbuncle. This precious stone is found in the East Indies,in color is an intense scarlet, and held up between your eye and the sun it is a burning coal. The poet puts it into rhythm as he writes: Like to the burning mid whence comes its name. Among the Greeka as Anthrax known to fame. God sets it high tip in Bible crystallog- raphy. ° He cuts it with a divine chisel, shaffes it with a precise geometry and kin- dles its fire into an almost supernatural flame of beauty. Its law of symmetry, its law of zones, its law of parallelism, some- thing to excite the amazement of the sci- entist, chime the cantos of the poet and arouse the adoration of the Christian. None but G-od. - No one but the infinite God could fash- ion a carbuncle as large as your thump, nail, and as if to inake allages appreciate this precious stone he ordered it set in the .first row of the high priest's breastplate in olden time and higher up than the °nye and the emerald and the diamond, and in Ezekiel's prophecies &oncoming the splen- dors of the Tyrian c'ourt the carbuncle is mentioned, the brillia,ncies of the walls and of the tessellated floors suggested by the Bible sentence, "Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire!" But in my text it is --'ot• a solitary speci. men that I hand you, as the keeper of a museum:might take down from the shell st-precious stone and allow you to examine it, Nor is it the panel of a door that you might stand and study ter its unique carv- ings or bronzed traceries, but there is a whole gate of it lifted before Our admiring and astounded vision—aye, two gates of it , —aye, many gates of it, "I will make thy gates of carbuncles." What gates? - Gates of the church. Gates of anything worth pos- sessing. Gates of sucessful enterprise. Gates of salvation. Gates of national qaehleve- ment. Thaidh„ who wrote this text, wrote also all that about Christ "as the Lamb to the slaughter" and spoke of Christ as saying, "I have trod the -Wine press alone," and wrote, "Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?" And -do you think that Isaiah in my text merely happened to'represent the gates as red gates, as carmine gates as gates of car- buncle? go. He means that it is through atonement, through .blood red struggle, through agonies we got into anything. Worth getting into. Gates Deeply Dyed. • Heavep's gates may well be Made of pearl, a 'bright, pellucid, cheerful crystal- lizationrbecause all the struggles are over, and there are beyond those gates nothing but raptures and cantata and triumphal procession and everlasting holiday and kiss of retuaion, and so the 12 gates aro 12 'pearls, and could be nothing else than pearl-. But Christ hoisted the gates ol pardon in his own blood, and the marks of eight fingers and two thumbs are on each gate, and as he lifted the gate it leaned against his forehead and took from it orimson impress, and all those gates are deeply dyed, and Isaiah was right when he spoke of those gates as gates of carbum .cle. • What an odd thing it is, think some, this idea of vicarious suffering, Or suffering for others! Not -at all. The world has seen vtcarious suffering millions of times - before Christ came and demonstrated it on a scale- that eclipsed all that went before and all that shall come after. Rachel lived •only long enough after the birth of her son to give him a name.' In faiut whisper 'hhe said, "Call him Ben-', which., means "son of my pain," and all modern travel- ers wa the road from Jerusalem to Bethel Undover their heads and stand reverently at the tomb of Rachel, who died for her boy. But in all ages, how many mothers die for their children., and in manycases grown 'up children, who by recreancy stab blear through the mother's.heart! Suffer' ing for others? Why, the world is full 'of it. Died at His Post. "Jura -Ter said the engineer to the fire- man on the locomotive. "Ono of us is enough to die. Jump!" And so the en- gineer died ab his post, trying to save the train. When this summer the two trains crashed into each other near Atlantic City, among the 47 Who lost their lives, the en- gineer was found dead, with ono hand on the throttle of the locomotive and the other en -the brake. Aye, there aro hundreds here today suffering for others. You know and God knows that it is vicarious Racal. flee. But On ono limestone hill abeut- twice the height of this church, five min- utes' walk from thegates of Jerusalem, was the sublinitst case of suffering for others that the world ever saw or ever will see. Christ the Victim, human and satan- to malevolence the .executioner, the whole humaaarace having an overwhelming in- terest In the spectacle. To open a way for us sinful men and sinful women into glo- rious pardon and • high hope and eternal exultation. Christ, with hand - dripping vitti the rush of opened arteries, swung back tho gate, and, behold, Itis a reci!gate, a gate of deepest hue, a gate of cattuhicle! Whatis true in spirituals is trite in tem - orals. There aro young Men and older nen who hope, through the right eettle- nent of this acrid controversy between sli- er and gold, or the bimetallic quarrel, hat it will become easy to make a liVing.. That time will Bever come. It never has eon easy to make a living. The men who ave it very easy now went through hard - hips and self denials to which most young men would never conseet 'Unless they ot it by inheritance you cannot mention 0 men who have come to honorable for - tine that did not fight their way inchtby nch and againet fearful odds that again nd again almost destroyed them. For .otne good reason God has arranged it for 11 the centuries that the only way for. ost people to get a livelihood for them - elves and their families is with both hands nd all the allied forces of body, mind and soul to push back and push open the red gate, the gate of carbuncle. For the ben- efit of all young men, if I had the time, I would call the roll of those who overcame obstacle.

Engraver's knif and reporter's skill and telegraphic wir and daily press, which have made us ac quainted with the horrors of modern bat tlefloki, had not. yet begun their vigilance and the story' of the American Revolution has never been told and never will be told It did not take much ink to sign the Dec laration of Independence,- but it took a terrific amount- of blood to maintain it. I was an awful gate of opposition, that the men and women—and the women as mucl as the Inen—pushed back. It was a gate of self sacrifice. 'It was a gate of blood. It was a gate of carbuncle. We are not indebted to history for our knowledge of the greatest of national cri see. Many of us remember it, and fathers and mothers now living had better keep telling that storyto their children, so that instead of their being dependent upon oold type and obliged to say, "On such a page of such a book you can read that," wtli they rather be able to say, "My father told me so," "My mother told me so:" Men and women who vividly remember 1861 and 1862 and 1863 and 1864, be yourselves the historians, telling it, not with pen, but with living tongue and voice and gesture. That is the great use of Memorial Decora- tion day, for the calla lilies on the grave tops soon become. breathless of perfuine, and in a week turn th dust like unto that which lies beneath them. But the story of courage and self sacrifice and patriotism told on platforms and in households and by the roadside and. in churches and in cemeteries' - by that annual recital will be kept fresh in the memory of generations as long as our American institutions are wor- thy of preservation. Long after you are dead yout children will be able to say, with the psalmist, "We have heard with our eau, 0 God! our fathers have told us that work thou didst in their days, in the times of old." But what a time it was! The Millions of Bereft. Four years of -homesickness! Four years of brotherly and sisterly estrangement! Four years of martyrdom! Fdur years of massacre! Put thein in a long line, the onflagration of cities, and eee them light ip a whole continent! Put them in long ows, the hospitals, making a vast metrop- lis'of pain and paroxysm 1 Gather them n one vast assemblage, the Millions of be - eft from the St. Lawrence to the gulf and nem the Atlantic to the Pacific beaches! Put the tears into lakes, and the blood into ivers, and the shrieks into whirlwinds! During those four years many good and wise men at the north and the south savv °thing ahead but annihilation. With uch a national debt we could never meet ur obligations! With Such mortal antip- thies northern and 'southern men could ever come into amity! Representatives f Louisiana and Georgia and the Caroli - las could never again sit sid.o by side with he representatives of Maine, Massachu- etts and New York at the national capi- ol. Lord John Russell had declared that e were "a bubble bursting nationality," nd it had come true. The nations of Eu- opehad gathered with very resigned spirit the funeral of our American republic, hey had tolled the bells on parliaments nd reichstags and lowered their flags at elf mast, and oven the lion on the other ide of the sea had whined for the dead agle on this side. The deep grave had een.dug, and beside Babylon and Thebes nd Tyre and other dead nations of the ast our dead republic was to be buried. The Epitaph. The epitaph Was all ready; "Here lies e American republic. Bern at Phila- elphia, 4th of July, 1776. Killed at Bull un July 21, 186h Aged 85 years and 17 aye. Peace to its ashes." But before the bsequies had quite closed there was an in- rruption of the ceremonies, and our dead ation rose from its mortuary surround. gs. God had Made for it a special resur- ction day and cried: "Come faith, thou public of Washington and John Adams nd Thomas Jefferson and Patrick HenrY nd John Hancock and Daniel Webster nd S. S. Prentiss arid Henry Clay! Come Ali!' And she came forth, to be stron- r than she had ever -been. Her mightiest eisperities have come since that time. ho would want to push back this country what it was in .1860 or 1850? But, oh, bat a high gate, what a strong gate, she d 50 push back before she could make e step in advance! Gate of flame! See orfolk navy yard and Columbia and harabersbarg and Charleston on flrel ate, of bayonets! See glittering rifles and rbines flasli from the ausquehanna and e James to the Mississippi and the Ar- nsas! Gate -of heavy artillery, making e mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky d_ Virginia tremble as though the earth elf were struggling in its last agony. ie gate was se fiery and so red that I can ink of nothing more aprpropriate than to ko the suggestion of Isaiah in the text d call it a gate pf caruncles. The Pulpit and Politica. This country has been fee. the most part its history passing thieugh crises, and ter each orisis was better off than before entered it, and new we are at another isis. We are told oft one hand that if Id is k-ept as a standard and Silver is not evated confidence will be -restored and is neaten will 7iSe imi!orichant from all e ft iiancial naislaatnnes that have been iettinz us. On the _etker bawl, we no eee of 10 31 o- er 11 a- cl 0- b - xi t, to 1 told that If_the free ooinage of silver is al- lowed all the wheels of business will re- volve, the poor man will have a better chance and all our industries; will begin th hum and roar. During the last six pres- idential elections I have been urged to en- ter tho political arena, but 1 never have and never will turn the pulpit in which I preach into a political stump. Evepy min- ister must do as ho feels called to do, and I will not criticise him for doing what be considers his duty, but all the political ha- rangues. from pulpits from now until the 8d of 'November will not in all the United States...change , one vote, but will leave many ehrs stopped against anything that Kith clergymen may utter the rest of their lives. As a general rule the laymen of churches understand politics better than the clergy, because they (the laymen) study politics more than the clergy and have better opportunity of being intelli- • gent on those subjects. But good morals, honesty, loyalty, Christian patriotism and thrit Ton Commandments, these we must preach. God says distinctly in. the Bible, "The silver and the gold. are mine," and he will settle the controversy between those two metals. If ever this country needed the divine rescue, it needs it now. Never within niy memory have so meet? people literally starved th death as in the past few months. . Have yeu noticed in the newspapers how many men and wom- en here and there. have been found dead, the post mortem examination stating that the cause of death was hunger? There is - not a day that we do not hear the crash of some great commercial establishment, and as a consequence many people are thrown out of employment. Millions Want Work. Among what we considered coin ertable homes have come privation and c ose cal- culation and an ecenomy that kill.. Mil- lions of people who say nothing bout it are at this inoment at their wi s' end. There are millions of people wh do not want charity, but Want work. The cry has gone up to the ears of the "Lord f Saba- oth, " and the prayer will be heard, and re- lief will cense. If we have nothing better to depend on than American politi s, relief will never come. Whoever is elected th the presidency, the wheels of government turn so slowly and" a caucus in yonder White building on the hill niay tie the hands of any president. Now, though we who live in the District of Columbia cannot vete, we can pray, and my prayer day and night shall be: "0 God, hear the ort -of the souls from under the altar! Thou, who hast brought the wheat and corn of this season to such magnitude of supply, give food to man and beast. Thou, who hadst not where to lay thy bead, pity the shelterless. Thou, who bast brought to perfection the cotton of tho sputh and the flax of the north, clothe the naked. Thou,who hast filled the mine with coal, give fuel to the shivering. Bring bread to the body, intel- ligence to. the !mind and salvation to the soul of all the people! God save the na- tion!" But we must admit it is a hard gate to push back. Millions of thin hands have pushed at it without making it swing on its hard hinges. It is a gate made out of empty flour barrels and cold fire grates and unmedicated sickness and ghastliness and horror. It is a gate of struggle. A gate of penury. A gate of want. A gate of disappointment. A red gate, or what Isaiah would have called a gate of carbun- dos. The Bitter Draft. Now, as I have already suggested, as there aro obstacles in all our paths, we. will he happier if we consent to have our life a struggle. I do not know any one th whom it is. not a struggle. Louis XIV thought he had everything fixed just right and fixed th stayeand so he had the great clock at Bordeaux made. The hours of that clock were struck by figures in- bronze representing the kingthef Europe, and at a certain timp of .daY William 1.11 of Eng- land and other kings were made to come out and bow to Louis XIV. But the clock got out of order one day, and just the oppo- site of what was expected occurred—ns the clock struck a certain hour Louis XIV was thrown to the feet of William III. And so the Clock of destiny brings many sur- prises, and those go down that you expected to stand, and at the foot of disaster most regal conditions tinnble. In all styles of life there come disappointment and strug- gle, God has for soine good reason ar- ranged it so. If it is not poverty, it is sickness. lf it is not sickness, it is perse- cution. If it is not persecution, it is con- test. with scene evil- appetite. If it is not some evil api)etite, it is bereavement. If it is not one thing, it is another.

Let that grace, be strength(Ird in the royal gymnasium of obstacle and opposition, a,nd by the help of God, having overcome our own hindrances and worriments, let us go forth to help others whose struggle is greater than ourown. • The Feet of Christ. A friend told me the other day of a shoe - Maker in. a Russian city whose bench was in the basement of a building and so far anderground that he could see only the beet of those who went by on the sidewalk. Seated on his bench, he often looked up, and there went the swift and skipping feet of children, and then the slow and uni- form step of the aged, and then crippled feet, and he resolved he would do a kind- ness to each one who needed it.
