How Christ Writes. 1 Washington, July 31.—In this discourse Dr Talmage gives heroic treatment of a delicate subject and applies to modern society the lesson taught by Christ on a mt niorable occasion; text, John viii, 6, "Jeans stooped down and with bis finger wrote on the ground." You must take your shoes off and put on the eepooial slippers provided at the door if you would enter the Mohammed- an mosque which stands now where once , stood Herod's temple, the scene of my text. Solomon's temple had stood there, but Nebuchadnezzar had thundered it down. Zerubbabel's temple had .stood• there, but that had been prostrated. Now we take our places in a temple that Herod built, because he was fond of, great architecture, and he, wanted the preceding- temples to seem insignifloant. Put eight or ten modern cathedrals together, and they would not equal that structure. It covered 19 acres. Thera were marble pillars supporting roofs of cedar and: silver tables on which stood golden cups, and there were carvings exquisite' and inscriptions re;p€lendent, glittering balustrades and ornainented gateways. The building of, this' temple kept 10,000 workmen busy 40 years. In that stupendous pile of pomp and magnificence sat Christ, and a listening throng stood about him when a wild disturbance took plane. A group of men are pulling and pushing along a woman who had committed a crime against society. When they have brought her in front of Christ, they ask that he sentence her to death by stoning. They are a critical, merciless, disingenuous crowd. They want to get Christ into controversy and public reprehension. I! he say, "Let her die," they will charge him with •ruelty. If he let her go, they will charge him with being in complicity .•,ah wicked- ness. Whichever way he does they would howl_ at him. `Phan occurs a scene which has not been sufficiently regarded. He loaves `the lounge or bench on which he was sitting and goes down on one knee or both knees, and with the forefinger ot^his right hand he begins to write in the dust of the floor, word after word. But they wore not to be diverted or hindered. They kept on demanding that he settle this case of transgression until be looked up and tolyl them they might themselves begin the woman's assassination' if the complainant who had never' done anything wrong himself would open the fire. "Go ahead, but be sure that the man who flings -the Hist missile is immaculate." Then he resumed writing with his finger in the dust of the floor, word after word. Instead of looking ,over his shouldor to see -what he had written, the scoundrels skulked away. Finally the whole place is clear of pursuers, antagonists and plaintiffs, and when Christ has finished this strauge chirography in the dust he looks up and Ands the woman all alone, . A Divine Judge. The prisoner is the only one of the courtroom left, the judges, the police, the prosecuting attorney having cleared out. Christ is victor, and he says to tho woman: "Where are the prosecutors in this case? Are they all gone? Then I discharge you. Go and sin no more " I have wondered what Christ wrote' on the ground. For do you realize that its the only time that he ever wrote at all! I know that Eusebius says that Christ once carate a letter to Abgarus, the king of Edessa, but there is no good evidence of such a correspondence. The wisest being the world ever saw, and the one who had more to say than -any one who ever lived, never writing a book or a chapter or a paragraph or a word on parchment! Nothing but the literature of the dust, and one sweep of a brush or one breath of a wind obliterated it forever. Amoug all the rolls of the volumes of the first library founded at Thebes there was not orae -scroll of Christ. Among the 700,000 books of the Alexandrian library, which byothe infamous decree of Caliph Oinar were used as fuel to heat the 4,000 baths of the city, not one sentence bad Christ penned. Among all the infinitude of volumes now standing in: the libraries or Edinburgh, the British Mnusenm or Berlin or Vienna or the learned repositor- ies of all nations not one worts written directly by the finger of Christ. All that ho ever y4 me he wrote in dust, uncertain shifting &let. My- text says he stooped down and wrote on the ground. Standing st aight up a pian might write on the ground with a staff, but if with his fingers ho would write in the dust he must bend clear over. Aye. he must get at least on one knee or he cannot write on the ground. Be not surprised that he stooped down. His whole life was a stooping down. Stooping down from castle to'barn. Stooping down .from celestial homage to monocratic jeer. FrOIll residence above the stars to where a star had to fail to designate his landing place. From heaven's front door to the world's back gate. From writing in round and Mimed letteroof constellation and galaxy on the blue*croll of heaven to writing on the ground in the dust winch the feet of the cdowd had left in Herod's temple. If in January you have ever stepped out of a prince's conserva- tory thatehad Mexican cactus and magno Hee in full bloom into the outside air, 10 degreee below zero, youg may get some idea of lariat's change of atmosphere from cote tial to terrestrial. -How many heavens t °ere are I know not, but there ale at least three, for Paul was "caught tip into the third heaven." Christ came, down from the highest heaven to the second heaven and down from second heaven to first heaven, down swifter than meteors ever fell, down amid stellar splendors . that himself eclipsed, down through cleudii, through atmospheres, through appalling spat* , 0.93tn. to Where them wee no_ lower depth'. Whether the words he was writing were i in Oreek or Latin or Hebrew, I cannot say, for he knew all those languages, but he is still stooping down and with his fingers writing on the ground. In the winter in letters of crystals, in the spring in letters of flowers, in summer in golden letters of harvest, in autumn in letters of -fire on f•''len leaves. How it would ri and up and oh a d emblazon °this world could ite see Christ's calli- graphy all over it! This world was not flung out into space thousands of years ago and then left to look ot for itself. It is' still under- the divine ore. Christ never for half a second takes j is hand of; of it, or it would soon be a shipwrecked world, a defunct world, a` i obsolete world, an abandoned world, a dead world. "Let there be light." was said at the beginning, and Christ stands under the :wintry skies and says, I.e't there be snowflakes to enrich the earth, nd under says, the clouds of spring and ay , Come, ye blossoms,. and make red ent the. orchards, and in September dips the' in branches1 the vat of beatzti u colors and swings them lntn the hazy air. No whim of mine is this. "Without hien was not anything made that was made." Christ writing on ';the ground.

We could net dip the seasoning from tba saltcellar without thinking of the ditine suggestion, "Ye are the salt of thejearth. but if the salt hath lost its savor it is fit for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of naen." ue wake dom out stupidity and take the whole:world -as a parable. Then, if with gun and.pack of bounds We start off before dawn And see the nlorning coming down off the hills to meet os we would cry out witb the evangelist, '•,"The day -spring from on high bath vdsited us," or, caught in \ a snowstorm while struggling. home, eyebrows and beard and apparel all covered with the whirling flakes, we _would cry nut with livid, 'Wash me, and_ I shall be whit r than snow." In a picture gallery of urone there Is on the ceiling an exquisite fresco, but the people having to look straight upeit weeried and dizzied them and bent thtdr necks almost beyond endurance so a gyeat -looking _glass was put near 'the floor, and now visitors only need to look easily down into this mirror, and • they see the fresco at their tea. 'And so, much of the high heaven of Godhi truth is :reflected in this world as in a mirror, and things that are above are copied by things around us. What right have we to throw away one of God's itibles—aye, the first Bible he ever gave the race? We talk about the Old Testament and the New Testament, but the oldest testament contains the le,ssoris of the natutal world. Smite people like the New ,Testantent so well they discard 'the Old Tes`Jament. Shall we like the New Testainent and the Old' --Testdmant, so - well as to depreciate the oldeet—namely, that which was written before Moses was put afloat on the boat of leaves which was chalked with asphaltum—or reject the Geneeis that was written centuries before Adam lost a rib and gained a wife? No, no! When Deity stoops down :and writes on the The Bible in Nature. I would ,have no less appreciation of the Bible on paper that coulee out of the paper mill, but I would urge apprecia- tion of the Bible in the grass, the Bible in the sand hill, the Bible in the geran- ium, the Bible in the asphodel, the Bible in the dust. Some one asked an ancient king whether he had seen the eclipsed much to study on 4arth I have no time to look at heaven." And if our faculties were all awake in the study of God- we would not have: time to go much farther than the first grass blade. I have no fear that natural religion will ever contradict what vre call revealed religion. I have nit sympathy 'With. tine followers of Aristotle, who after the telescope 'was invented would not look through it lest it contra-. diet some of the theories of their great master. ashen be glad to put egainet one lid of the Bible tht microscope and against the other lid of the Bible the But when Christ etooped down :and wrote on the ground what did he write?

DC Stevens; in his "History of Methodiem " says that when Rey.

And no wonder these Pharisees reminded of their sins, took to Otteir 'But what dad Christ. write, on the ground? The Bible does not date, yet as• Christ never wrote anything except that once you cannot Winne us for wanting to know what he really did write, but I am certain he wrote nothing trivial, or nothing unimportant, eand will you allow me to say that •I think I litnow what he wrote_ on the ground? I judge front the circumstances. He might have written other thingt, but kneeling there in the temple, surtounded .by. a pack of hypocrites who Were a self appointed constabulary and having in his nresence a. persecuted woman, who eVidently was very penitent for her sins, I am suro he wrote two words, both of them graphic and tremendous and reverberatina, and the one Word was "hypocrisy," and the From the way these Pharisees: •and scribes vacated the premises and got out into the fresh air as Christ -with Just one ironical sentence, unmasked them I know they were :jlrst otass'hypoorites: It wall then as it is .pow. c, Rabaklug -Hypocrisy. Yes, I think that ane :word written on the ,ground ,that day by the finger of Christ.. was the awful word hypocrisy. What pretensions to sanctity are the, part of those. hypoorltioal; Pharisees! When the fox begins to pray look out for a your chickens. One of the cruel magnates of olden times was. gong to excom- municate one : of the martyrs, and he boon In the nsui1 form—"In the n_ name of -God. Amen." "Stop!" says the martyr. "Don't say 'in the name of God!' " Yet how many outrages are ,practiced under the garb of religion and sanctity! When in synods and conferences ministers of the gospel are about to say something unbrotherly and unkind about a member, they almost always begin by being ostentatiously pious, the venom of their assualt oorresponding to the heavenly flavor of the prelude. About to . devour a reputation,;. they say grace before meal. But I am sure there was another word in that dust. From her entire manner I am sure that arraigned- woman was repentant, She made no apology, and Chalet in nowise belittled her tin. But her supplicatory behavior and her tears moved him, and when he stooped down to write on the ground he . wrote that mighty, that imperial word, forgiveness. When on Sinai God wrote the law, he 'wrote it with finger of lightning on tables of stones, each word out as by a hardgranite chisel into the an to surfoo. But g a when he writes the offense of this woman he writes it in dust so that it can be easily rubbed out, and when she repents of ' it, oh, be was a merciful, Christ! I was reading of a legend that is told in the far east about him. He was walking through the streets of a city. and he saw a crowd around a lead dog. And one man said, " loathsome What a a object is that dog!" "Yes," said another; "his ears are mauled and bleeding." "Yes," said another; "oven his hide would not be of any use 'to the tanner. "Yee," said another; "the odor of hft carcass is dreadful." Then Christ, stand ing•;there, said, "But ;pearls cannot equal the whitoness of his i teeth." 'Then the people, moved by the idea that any one could find anything pleasant concerning the dead dog, said, "Why'; this must be" Jesusdof Nazareth t" ''Reproved and con vioted, they went away. Surely this' legend of Christ is good enough to be true! Kindness in all his words and ways and habits! Forgive- ness ! ! Word of 11 letters, and some of thein thrones and some of them palm branches. Better have Christ write close to our names that one word, though he write it in dust, than to have our name out into monumental granite with the letters that the storms :of 1,000 years �ot obliterate. Bishop Babington had k of only three leaves. The first was black, the second leaf red, the t leaf white. The blank leaf sage, as sin, the rt3c1 leaf atonement, the white leaf purification. That is the whale story. God will abundantly. parson. 1 $yropathy for the Penitent. can a be leaf thir gest I must not forget to say that as Christ, stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground it is evident , that his Brame- thiet are with this penitent woman and that he has no eympathir, with her hypo- critical pursuers. Just opPosite to that is the World's habit. WhY didn't these unchian Pharisees bring one of tlieir own number to Christ for excoriation and eapital punishment? No, no! They overrdam ate in a woman, and so the world k that. in a maia which they has had for offending woman scourges and objurgation, and for just one offense she becomes an outcast, while for men whose lives have been soden:do for 20' years the world swings open its doors of brilliant welcome, and they may sit in high places. Unlike the Christ of my text, the world writes a man's inis• demeanor in dust. but chisels a woman's offense with great capitals upoe inefface- able marble. - For foreign lords and princes, whose names cannot even be xnentioned in respectable circles abroad because they are walking lazarettos of abomination, some - of r American princesses of tii fortune wal and at the • Slot beck sail out with hem into the blackness of darkness forever. .And in what are called higher circles of' society, there is now not only the imitation of foreign dresoand foreign manners, but an imitation of. foreign dissoluteness. I like a foreigner, and I like an American, but the sickeet creature on earth is an American playing the -foreigner, Society needs to be recon- structed on this subjeet. Treat them. alike, masculine crime and' feminine crime. If you out the one in granite, out them both in grenite. If ydu write the one in dust, Write the other in dust. "No, no," says the world; "let woman that I hoar splashing into the Hudson or Potomac at midnight? And then there is a gurgle as of strangulation, and all is still. Never mind. It is only a woman too discouraged to live. Let the mills of the cruel world grind right on. Boundless Mercy. It is not so wonderful, after all, that Christ chose instead of an inkstand the impressionable sand on the floor of an ancient temple, and instead of a hard pen put forth his forefinger with the same kind of nerve and muscle and bone and flesh as that which makes up our own forefinger, and- wrote the awful, doom of hypocrity, and full and complete forgiveness for repentant sinners, even the worst. We talk 'About the ocean of Christ's mercy. Put four shim upon that ocean and let them mil out in opposite • dtrections for 1,000 years and see if they can find the shore of the ocean of ehe divine mercy.

'Mhe aged woman said: "That is to light 'Iny wayward (laughter when she returnee, Since she went away, ten years ago, my hait has turned white.

Yes, you .are Lizzie, any own lost child! Thank God that you' are home again!" ' And what a time . of rejoicing there was in that house that night! And Christ again stooped down and in the -ashes of that hearth, now lighted up, not more by the great blazieg logs than by the joy of a reunited household, wrote the same liberating words -that had been written more than i.,sog years ago in the dust of ' the Jerusalem j temple Forgiveness! • FACE AND FIGURE.

A. physician of note 'advocates a good cry ocoaelonally for women. She wbo weeps keeps her youth longer than the woman who represses her' tears. A profuse flow of tears lessons blood pressure, a discharge of energy reduces tension and produces an exhaustion which domande a refreshing sleep. For grace of carriage peasant women, who are accustomed to carry weights on their heads, are deservedly'noted. In the effort to keep the balance of the burden they are carrying these women strain all the muscles of the body in order that they, may walk, smoothly and eteadily, and. the result is a .queenly carriage which many a great lady might envy.` To attain graceful carriage much may be done by practicing walking with some object on the head—a iittle:cushion, a book or even a light board would do—and certainly all young people` should learn dancing, and, if possible, fencing. These exercises, produce thinness and flexibility in the limbs and the power of sustaininga; balance gracefully. BUSINESS BARS THE DRUNKARD.. Society Is Also Turning Its Back on Thos• Who Drink to Excess. "Drunkenness to day is deemed dila- reputable in the very quarters where only a lltte while ago it was looked upon -simply as a Misfortune," writes Edward W. Bok, in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Every line of business . shuts its doors absol.ntely teethe drunkard. It bas no use for him. Business competi- tion has become eo keen that only the man of the steadiest habit* can find( employment. . This fact the habitual indulger in alcoholtos has found out,. and the differenit 'mire' • establishments for drunkenness—and . Godsends they are, too, to humanity --are 'to -day filled with men wbo have come to a realization of. the changed conditions. The man of steady habits is the- man of the hour, and the drunkard realizes this. In the social world the same thing is true. The excessive indulgence°of even a few years ago would not . be tolerated at any dinner to -day. Society has become intolerant of the behavior whish inevitably results from excessive indulgence in drinking, and mon realize this. It is bad manners to -day to drink to excess. Good taste le spreading, and moderation is -necessarily' following." Getting lantrimonially Planted. "A large percentage of what is ordin- arily called love is about as safe a guide in the choice of a companion as a firefly would be trustworthy illumination in the intricacies tit a deep forest on a dark night," writes the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D.D., in the Ladies' Home Jouenal. "I am well aware that it is much easier to reason about these"things in the abstract than it is to keep one's head cool anchtme1s temperature regulated in a season of severe exposure; but so much of the success or failure of a young ,rnan's after life depends on the way in which he gets matrimonially planted that It seems well vorth vvhile to preempt the ground with as much man has accustomed himself to canvas the ground with some seriousness bee the susceptible monient arrives there wil be more likelihobd of his being able t ride the storm when it breaks without th loss of ship, cargo and crew." - AUGUST 5, 1898.
