THE' - 5. A.SUPPLYco., BOX L.ONDON, ONT, Bev. Dr. !Talmage Preachle* an Eloquent and Convincing Sermon -From a Well- linownlikext-Pang for Pang. Blood for Blood and Life for Life. (Copyright 1a98, by American Press associa- , none , Washington, April 10.—The radical theory of Christianity is set forth by Dr. Talmage in this discourse, and remark- able instances of self saorifice aro brought out for illustration. The text is Hebrews ix, 22, "Without shedding of blood is no remission." John G. Whittier, the, last'of the groat school of American poets that made vhe last quarter of -this century brilliant, asked ine in. the White Mountains one morning after prayers, in which.I had given out Cowper's famous hymn about "the fountain filled with bleed," "Do you really believe there is a literal appli- cation of the blood of Christ to the soul?" My negative reply then is my negative reply now. The Bible statement agrees with all physicians and all physiologists and scientists in Saying that the blood is the life, and in the Christian religion it means simply that Christ's life was given for our life. Hence all this talk of men who say the Bible story of blood is dis- gusting, and that they don't want what they call a "slaughter 'house religion," only shows their incapacity or unwilling- ness to look through the figure of speech toward the thine signified. The blood that on the darkest Friday the world ever saw &Seed or trickled or poured frem the brow, and the side, and the hands, and the feet of the illustrious sufferer tack of Jetusalem in a few hours coagulated and dried up and forever disappearedTand if man had depended on the application of the literal blood of Christ there would not have been a soul saved for the last 18 - centuries. . The Red Word. In order to understand this red word of my text we only have to exercise as much common sense in religion as we do in everything else. Pang for pang,•hunger for hunger, fatigue for fatigue, tear for tear, blood for blood, life for life, we see every day illustrated. The act of substitu- tion is no novelty, although I hear 2110/1 talk as though the idea of Christ's suffer- ing subtitated for our suffering Were something abnormal, something wildly eccentric, a solitary episode in the world's history, when I could take you out into this city and before. sundown point you to 500 cages of substitution and voluntary suffering of one in behalf of another. At 2 o'clock to -morrow afternoon go among tho places of business or toil. It will be no difficult thing for yea to find men who by their looks show you that they are overworked. They aro promo- turely,old. They are hastening rapidly toward their decease. They have gone through crises in business that shattered their nervous system and pulled on the brein. They have a shortness of breath and a pain in the back of. the head and at night an insomnia, that alarms them. Why aro they drudging at business early and lath? For fun? No. It would be diffi- cult to extract any amusement out of that exhaustion. Because they. aro avaricious? In many cases no. Because their own personal expenses are lavish? No. A few hundred dollars would meet all their wants. The simple fact is the man is en- during all that fatigue and exasperation and wear and tear to keep his home pros- perous. There is an invisible line reach- ing from that store, from that bank, from that shop, from that scaffolding, to a quiet scene a few blocks, a few miles away, and there is the secret of that business endurance. He is simply the champion of a homestead, for which -he wins bread and wardrobe and education and prosperity, and in such battle 10,000 mei:vial. Of ten business men ;whom I bury nine die of overwork for others. Some sudden disease finds thein with no power of resistance, and they are gone. Life for life! Blood for blood! Substitu- tion! A Dim Light in the House. At 1 o'clock to -morrow morning, the hour when slumber is most uninterrupt- • ed and profouna, walk amid the dwelling houses of the city. Here and there you will find a dim light, because it - is the household custom to keep a subdued light burning, but most of the houses from base to top are as dark as though uninhabited. A merciful God has sent forth the archangel of sleep, and he -puts his wings ever the city. But yonder is a clear light burning, and outside on a window casement a glass or pitcher con- taining food for a sick child. The food is set in the fresh air. This is the sixth night that mother has sat up with that sufferer. She has to the last point obeyed the physician's presoriptime not giving -a drop too Much or too little or a. moment too soon or too late. She is very anxious, for she has burled tbree children with the same disease, .and she prays and weeps, eaoh prayer and sob ending evith a kiss of the pale cheek. By dint of kindness she gets the little ono through the ordeal. After it is all over the mother is taken down.: Brain or nervous fever sets in, and ono day she leaves the convalescent child with a mother's blessing and goes up ta join the three departed ones in the kingdom of heaven. Life for life! Sub- stitution! The fact is that there are an uncounted number of mothers who after they have navigated a large ' family through all the diseases of 'Marcy and got them fairly started up the flowering slope of boyhood and girlhood have only strength enough left to die. they fade away. Some call it consumption, some call it nerveus prostration, son -le call it intermittent or malarial indisposition. but Lean it martyrdo_m of the- domestic Oirel Life for Wel Blood for blood! Sebs itution ! Or perhaps a another lingers long enough to see a son get on the wrong. road, and his former kindness becomes rough reply when she. expresses anxiety about hipa. But she goes right on, look- ing cerefuily after his apparel, remember- ! ing his every birthday with some mama. to, and When he is brought home worn out with dissipation nurses him till he gets Well and starts him again and .hopes and ii.xpects and prays and counsels and 'suffers until her strength gives out and she fells. She is vein& and attendants, bending over her -pillow, ask her if she has any message to leave, and she makes greattefforts to say sotnethiag, but out 'of threeIlor four minutes of indistinct utter- ance they can catch but three words, "My poor boy!" • The simple fact .is she died for him. Life for life!. Substitution! - • Blood for Blood. About 38 years ago there went forth from our northern and southern homes' randrects of thousands of men to do battle.

He goes from couch t couch, feeling tho pulse and studyin symptoms and prescribing day after day night after night, until a fellew physi clan says: "Doctor, you had bettor, g home andaest.

In tho legal profession I see the same principle of self sacrifice. In 1846 Wililain Freeman, a pauperized and idiotic negro, was at Auburn, N.Y., on trial for mur- der. • He bad slain the entire Van Nest family. The foaming wrath of the com- munity could be kept off him only by armed constables. Who would volunteer to be his counsel? No attorney wanted to sacrifice his popularity by such an ungrate- ful task. All were sileat save one, a young lawyer with feeble voice, that could hardly be heard outsido. the bar, pale and thin and awkward. .It was. Wil limn H. Seward, Who saw that the pris • o tier was idiotic and irresponsible and ought to be put in an asylum rather than put to death, the heroic counsel uttering those beautiful words:. "I speak now in the hearing of a peo- ple who have prejudiced prisoner and condemned me for pleading in his behalf. He is a convict, a pauper, a negro, with- out intellect, sense or emotion. My child with an affectionate smile disarms my careworn face of its frown whenever I cross my threshold. The beggar in the street obliaes ine to give beeause• he says, 'God bless you!' as I pass. My dog caresses me with fondness if I will but snail° on him. My horse recognizes me when I till his manger. What reward, what gratitude, what sympathy and affec- tion can I expect here? Timm the prisoner sats. Look at him. ;Look at the assem- blage around you. Listen to their ill sup- pressed censures and excited fear?, and 'tell me whore among nay neighbors or any fellow men, where oven in his heart I can expect to find a sentiment, a thought,. not to say of reward or of acknowledgment,- or even of recognition. Gentlemen, you may think of this evi- dence what you please, bring in what verdict pelf can, but I asseverate before heaven and you that, to the best of my, knowledge and belief, the' prisoner at the bar does not at this moment know why it is that any shadow falls on you.instead of his own." The Hero Ruskin. The gallas got its 'victim, but the. postenorbein !examination of the poor/ creature shoWed to all the surgeons and; to_all the world that the public ver° wrong and William H. Seward Was right and that hard, stony step of obloquy _in the Auburn courtroom was the first step of the stairs of fame up which he went to tho top, or to within one step of the top, that last denied hirii through the' treach- ery of American politics. Nothing suh- limer was ever seen in .an Anierieun courtroom than William H. Seward, with- out reward, standing between the furlong populace' and the loathsome imbecile. •Substitution! • 1 • In the realm of the fine arts there Was as remarkable an instance. . A brilliant but hypercriticised painter, Joseph Wil- liam Turner, was met by a volley of taints° from the art, galleries of Europe. His paintings, which have since woo the :Ap- plause of all civilized nations, "the Fifth Plague of Egypt," "Fishermen' on a, Lee Shore in Squally Weather," "Calais Pier." "The Sun Rising Threngh Mist" and "Dido Building Carthage," were then targets for critics to shout at. In defense of this outrageously allused man n young author of 24 years, jut one year out of college, ca,me forth with his pen and -wrote the ablest and mostt fam- ous essay on art that the world met saw or ever will see—John Ruskin's "Modern Painters." For 17 years this author fought the battles of tho. maltreated artist, and after in poverty and broken heartednoss the painter had died itad the public tried to undo their cruelties to- ward him by giving him a big funeral and burial in St. Paul's cathedral ' is old. time friend took out of a tin bo 19,000 pieces of paper containing drawl, gs by the old painter and through many weary and uncompensated months aesor0 and arranged them for public obse vation. f People say John Ruskin in his o d -days he cross, misanthropic and nimbiti. What- , ever he may do that he ought eiot to d� and whatever he may say that bu ought not to say between now and higi oath he will leave this world. insolvent OA far as It has any capiseity to pay thisjauthor's pen for its chlyalrie and Chriethin do- lt tense of a poor 'painter's pone 1.

And the tides turned, and at 8 o'clock in the • evening the man of destiny, who was called by his troops Old Two Hundred Thousand, turned away with broken 'heart, and the fate of centuries was decided. The Lion and the Lamb. No Wonder a great mound has been roared there, hundreds of feet high—a mound at the expense of millions of dollars and many years in rising, and on the top is the great Belgian lion of bronze, and a gand old lion it is. But our great Waterloo was in Palestine. There came a day when all h 11 rode up, le led by Apollyon, and the cap in of our ealvation confronted them lone. The rider on the white horse of the Apo- calypse going out against the hlaok horse cavalry of death, and the battalions of the' demoniac and the myrmidons of dark- ness.

CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST. Death on the Cross Was a Most Terrible Form of Torture. "Crucifixion was a terrible death." writes the Rev. Amory H. Bradford, D. D., apropos of Holy Week, in an article on "The Last Week in Christ's Life" in the Ladies' Home Journal. "It was re- served for offenders of a servile class and never used for a Roman citizen. The hands and feet of the victim were nailed to the wood, and a kind of rude seat was provided—just enough to prevent the weight of the body from tearing through the flesh. • The exact spot where Jesus was crucified cannot new be identified. Golgotha was Probably some skull -shaped hill 'outside the city wall.' Thither a strange procession wended its way—the condemned with their crosses on their backs, the hard-hearted rabble making fun of them as they passed. The strength of Jesus failed before tho destination was reached. and another was compelled to carry the cross for Him. This crucifixion, like all others, was cruel and barbarous in the extrenie. The executioners were Roman sciildiers, but a host of Jews feasted th r eyes on the hideous sight. • ' "Such 'agony was no protection against the gibes of the crowd. With but one of His disciples in sight, and only two or threo friendly women near—one of them His another—Jesus passed the last hours of His earthly life. Those who suffered by crucifixion sometimes lingered throe or four days—Jesus lived about five hours. While hanging on tho °rose He spoke seven times. Soon after the cross was raised, looking/ over the ware° and brutal soldiers, and the mistaken fanatics who had hounded 1:lim to that hour, He tattered a prayer, which., has probably made a deeper impression on the world than any other single prayer ever offered: 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'

She hadn't satisfled all her ambitions, but she was something of a philosopher and found balm in Gilead. "Yes, she's 'splendid," she assented. "I'd like to have a brain like hers, but Emerson was right about compensation. My tailor is -a comfort to rne in any dark- esehours; and whenever I get the blues about my mental state I jnst put on nay best frock and trot around to call on the cleverest women -I • know. ...I always go: home feeling reconciled to life. I'd like to be able to lecture on psychology in literature; but, my dear, though ye speak with tongues of men and angels, and don't dress web, it shall avail ye nothing. It's great solace to me on occasions like this, to say to myself, "Well, cheer up. Y6u're prettier and better dressed than that abstract intellect anyway." Peculiar Abbreviations.
