, 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.

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.

from our northern and southern homes'
randrects of thousands of men to do
battle. All the poetry of 'war soon van-

A Story of Seward.
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.

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

public tried to undo their cruelties to-
ward him by giving him a big funeral
and burial in St. Paul's cathedral ' is old.

The Roll Ion of Blood.
That is what P ul means, that is what
I mean, that is what all those wbo have
over had their heart changed mean by
"blood." I glory in this religion of blood!
I am thrilled as I eo the suggestive color

nished silver set o a cloth immaculately
white or rough he n from wood set on
table in log hut meeting house of the
wilderness. Now am thrilled as see
the altars of anc mat sacrifice crimson
with the blood of the slain lainb,, and
Leviticus is -to me not so much the Old
Testament as the 'etv. Now I see Why

In the night spere all those houses that
had blood sprinkle on their doorpOsts.
Now I know what Isaigh means when he
speaks of "one a red apparel coming
with dyed garnien s from Bozrah," and
whom the Apoeal pse means when it de-
scribes a heaveply chieftain - whose "ves-
ture was dipped in blood," and what
John the apostle eans when he speaks
of the "precious blood that eleanseth
from all sin," and what tho old, worn-
out, decrepit 111 ssionary Paul means
when, in my tox , he cries, "Without
shedding of blhod is no remission." By
that blood you an • I will be saveda-or
never saved at all In all the ages of the
world God ha 's no owe pardoned a siegle

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.' "
The Philosophy ot Good Clothes.

late herself, and she kit that life was a
failure and that her college education had

a
nion was still cheerful. 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

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."
