Now the Christian tracks the blood all around the shelving of the grey limo-stone rock on Calvaryâ€"the blood of the great martyrdom of Jesus Chriet. The spring rains came, and they washed that red carnage: into the valley at the foot. of tha mounv tain; but the Christian easily finds the red mark on the rock, and the glimpac or it in song or sermon stirs all his sensibilities and crowns all his prayers. If it were needed that all the hosts of heaven’ should colon: Coming up to-night through those fissures in the rock. you going up, Christ coming down. you will meet, and there will be jey on earth and joy in heaven over your souls iv- â€"'â€"- rvvn vuatluug(}. And. my friends, it is through that fissure of the rock that our path to pardon lies; through the earthquake of conviction, under the dripping crimson of the cross. Ah. do you not like the smell of blood? Neither do I; but without the shedding 0f blood there is no remission. Our debts are never to be paid unless from the clov- on arteries of Jesus Christ they are liquidated. it has thrown the whole earth into a jangle. An Iold writer tells of two brothers who went out to take a walk in the night, and one of them looked up to the sky and said, “ 1 wish Ihad a mature field as large as the night I heavens." And the other brother look- ied up into the sky, and said, “I wish I had as many oxen as there are stars in the sky. ”Well,” said the limit, “how would you feed so many oxen 8‘” Said the second, "I would turn them into your pasture. ” “What! whetherIwould or not?” “Yes, whe- ther you would or not." And there arose a quarrel. and when the quar- rel ended one had slain the other. And so there has been a ridiculous contest in all ages of the world, some- times about immaterial things, some- times about supposititious things,and if this man had all the night heavens for an estate, he 'would not be happy, and if that man had as many oxenl as there are stars in the sky he would not be happy. DANISH ED FROM GOD. Banishcd from peace. Banish-ed from heaven. Now, if my sermon should stop just here, it _wogld be_as _though an expatriation to Siberia to delve the mines and to be fastened in a l .chainâ€"gang. Yes, the whole race is ibanished; our first parents from i Paradise; the recreant angels banish- cd from heaven; the whole human family banished from peace. Where is the worldly man who has anything worthy of the name of happiness? .\Vhat are those anxious looks of the brokers, of the bankers, of the mer- chants, of those men in the club house, of that great multitude of people who tramp up and down Broadway? Burnished from God. Banished from peace. Baniahed from maven. Sin has broken in, and it has snapped all the strings of the heart; it has untuned all the instruments of earthly accord; Indeed, then, are we all banished from God. What do you mean by ban- ishment ? Well, it means being driven away and wearing (otters. It means bitter absence from home. It means in some places and on some occasions 'A' despatch‘ {rcm Washington says: â€"Rev. Dr. Talmage preached from the following text zâ€""Yet doth he devise means that his banished be not ex- pelled Lrom him.”--2 Sam. xiv. 14. That passage I never noticed until last week. The wise, witty and imag- inative woman of Tekoah‘ said this in trying to persuade David to take back his beautiful but recreant son Absalom. For exquisite etrategem two- man has no equal in the other sex. I! there had been a plain demand that Abaalom be taken back it would have been ineffectual, but this woman com~ posed a fiction which completely cap~ tured David’s heart. She winds up the story by asking him to imitate the Lord, saying: “ Yet doth God devise means that his banished be not expell- ed from him." The Rev. Dr. Talmage Offers You the King’s Pardon. A PACKAGE 0E LETTERS. Ah! that Christian- homiestead. the memory of it tonight almost swamps your soul. When the first death came to the house what was it that comfort-ed the old people? \Vhon you stood fanning the-mi in their last hour what was it that gave them courage, the dear, old departing souls? ' 0 you banished ones, hear the voice 0f ‘the Christian dead toâ€"night, bidding you come home. I remember being wiith my father one day when he was plomghing in a new ground. It was very hard ploughing. and I remember how the sweat dropped down on the plough handles, and I remember at ‘noon .hea ring my mother as she stood; |at the corner 0'2 the house far away,j calling us to com» home, that thei table was spread, and tzhne dining hour Ihad arrived.

Is there stood so mmh and withstood so long; What will you do next? What will God do next? He will somehow break up; lthis monotony. Will it be fire, ort ’storm. or the opening furnaces of the ; doomed world? What next? God} will not be forever repeating these. messages of invitations and alarm.’ What next! There will be a changel in your case. 0 soul! 0n the road you travel there is a turn just ahead of you. Thus ntght thy soul may be years. Do you suppose that God will always keep on in that line! No. I tell you plainly. my dear heater. there will be a change in your use. ' Among the means that. “God has deâ€" vised that the bazuiihed be not cxpcl~ bed from him.” I notice also Christian surroundings. First, there is the in- fluence of ancestral piety. Wars thezro not a good mam or woman in your ancestral line? 13 there not an obd Bible around the house with worn covers and turned down leaves, giving you the hint that there was some one who prayed? Was there a family altar at which you used to how? The carpet may have. been worn out, and the chair may have been sold for old furniture, and the. knee that knelt on the one and beside the other may never again be pLiant in earthly worship; but you remember, v-w' uus of the fact that there muqt be two destinies. two careers, tWO con- ditions, two termini, two words an- tagonistic, and evertastingly swung apart. 0, what is this suppressed agitation? What is this awful sil- e'n'ce? The Holy Spirit! The infinite Spirit! The etonnul Spirit! The Divine Spirit! The lightnnig-footed and fire-winged Spirit! 'l‘h-e armed Spirit! The. all-conquering Spirit! Tim omn-ipotcnt Spirit! He comes down upon your soul ~with an avai- anche of power. He commands you to repent; he. bags you to believe; he asks you to Live. “Have ye received the Holy Ghost?” have never been apened. You are wondering where you will come out at the last.

It is often the case when the Holy Spirit comes to a ma,n's heart he acts in- ternally to throw off the impres- sion. And so sometimes when the Spirit comes to a man he prays. and sometimes he biasphemes; but the Holy Spirit always comes with one idea. and that is to Show. man that “God hath devised means that the banished be not expebled from him.” _ _" wâ€"\- a-“ am both eternally overthrown." That ushered both of them into the king- dom of God in due time. Oh, it is a mighty spu'it. Sometimes p909}? laugh under it. Sometimes they pray under its power. There is a soul bowed down. The Holy Spirit is. bowing him down. At a fair in England a man stepped up to a peddler’s stand and bought somfithlng. The-n he tool: a leaf from. a catechism and wrapped the article in that leaf; but one line in that catechism ushered his soul into the kingdom of God. Two men were wrestling on the green. One threw the other. A Christian man came along and said. “It will be sad indeed if Satan trips np your hop: and you nA‘nL,AI Among the means that God has devised that the banished be not ex- pelled from him, I notice still fur- ther, spiritual influences; I do not mean any influence gone up from earth and ethereaiized, but the Di- vine Spirit. Some call him the Com- forter; it is best for my purpose to~ night that I call him the soul-sav- ing power of the nations. When that influence comes upon a man how strangely he acts. He cries; he trem- bles; he says things and does things that five minutes before he could. not have been coaxed or hired to say or do. The human soul and religion seem antagonistic elements; but this divine spiritualism seems the har- monizing chemistry that brings in- to comity these opposing elements; The general mode of the Holy Spirit; is in selecting means that are utter- ly insignificant, and then making them the steps of Christian ascent; there would be only one name that could rally the universe, and that is the name of Jesus!
