by popes nnd archbishop on gront occasions
Thcro n n robo thut had been worn by Plus

Thcro w-ns also n vestment that had been

tilled tlio place with n tiveeiness that was al
most oppressive Nothing that hnd been douo

tlieso things that had beou dono In cloth,

open tho drawer of this text, nnd I look upon
tho kingly robes of Christ, nnd as I lift
them, Hashing with eternal jowcls, tho wholo
hotiso is filled with tho aroma of tlieso gar
ments, which "smell of myrrh, nnd aloes,
and cassia, out of tho Ivory palaces."
In my tost tho King stepj forth. Ills robes

THE IIIGTOtlY AND BtONIFICANCE OK ilYIUUI.
Your (lrst curiosity is to know why tlio
robes of Christ nro odorous with myrrh.
Thisunsn bright leafed Abyssinian plant.
It was trifollated. Tho Greeks, Egyptians,
Romans nnd Jows bought nnd sold It nt n
high price. Tho tlrst present that was over
given to Christ was n sprig of myrili, thrown
on his iufnutilo bed in Dcthlchum, and tho
last gift that Christ over had was myrrh
pressed into tho cup of his cruclflsion. Tho
natives would take u stone nnd bruise tho
tree, and then it would c.tido a gum that
would saturato all the ground beneath. Tim
gum was iihcd for purposes of mcrchnudlso.
Ono piece of it, no larger than a chest
nut, would whelm a wholo room with
odors. It was put in closets, in chests,
in drawers, in rooms, and its perfume
udhered almost intcrmiunlly to an) thing
that was nuyw hero near it. Ho when In my
text I read that Christ's garments small of
myrrh, 1 Immediately coucludo tho exquisite
sweetness of Jesus. I know that to many ho
is only Itko any historical person ar.other
John Howard, another philanthropic Ober
lln, another Confucius, n grand subject for a
painting, a heroic thorns for u pooin, n beau

ceived his benediction, lie Is music nnd light,
nnd warmth and thrill, nml eternal fragrance.
Kwcctnsa fricml htlcklu to jou when all
else betray. Lifting you u. w hllo others try
to pusli you down. Not m much like morn
ing glories, that bloom only when the sun b
coming tip, nor like "four o'clocks," that
bloom only when tho sun is going down,
but liko myirh, perpetually nromutle the
tamo morning, noon and night yesterday,
today, forever. It seems nsif wo cannot wear
him out. We put on liim nil our burdens,
ami alllict him with ull our griefs, and fcet
him foremost in all our battles, and yut ho
is ready to lift, and to sympathise, and to
help. Vo have so imposed upon him that
opo would think in eternal nlfrout ho would
pjit our Mill; and yet today lioiuldiesscs us
with tho tame tenderness, dawns upon us
with tho same smile, pities u with thosamo
compassion,
Thcro is no uamo llko his for us. It U
more imperial than Caesar's, mom musical
than Ueethovcn's, moro conquering than
Charlemagne's, moro eloquent than Cicero's.
It throbs with all lifo. It weeps with all
pathos. It groans with all pulu. It stoops
with all condescension. It breathes with all
perfume. Who llko Jesus to set u brokou
bone, to pity at homeless orphan, to nurso a
tick man, to ta'ko n prodlgul back without
uny tcoldlug, to illumine n cemetery nil
plowed w I tli graves, to make u queen unto
Uod out of tho lost woman of the street, to
catch tho tears of human sorrow in n lachry
matory that shall never bo broken Who
has such au cyo to two .our need, such n lip to
kiss nway our sorrow, such a hand to snatch us
out of tho lira, such n foot to triitupluour cuo
julcs, such n heart to embrace nil our necessi
ties? 1 fctrugglo for somo tuotaphor with
which to c.-p!vj him. Ho In no: liko tho
bursting forth of n full orchestra; that Is too
loud. Ho is noi like the sea when lashed to
rago by tho tempest; that is too boisterous
IIo is not like tho mountniu, its brow
wreathed with tho lightiilng; that is too soli
tary. Give us a softer tyj, a gentler com
parUon. Wo have scorned to see him w Hit
our eyes, mid to hear him tvith our cars, ami
to touch him without' hands. Oh, that to
day ho might nppcur to sotno other ono of

1HK UITTUIINKSS OF TUB KAVIOUIl'H RlTI'Cn
tMia
Your second curiosity Is to Uuow why tho
robes of Ji-sus nre wlotinis Ith nlces. T'heru
Is some dlireicnco of opinion nb-)iit where
t lio-o al(Hs grow, whrt Is tho cclorof tho
flower, whnt Is tho pal culnr nppenrancoof
the herb. Bullleu It for you and mo to know
that aloes mean bitterness the otld over,
nnd when Christ comes with garments Uiir
lug that particular odor, they suagest to mo
the bitterness of a Knvleur's sulTcrings. Were
there over such nights as Jesus llrd through
nights on tho mountains, nights on tho ftn,
nights hi tho desert! Who ever had such n
hard uveptloii as Jesus had I A hostelry tho
first, mi unjust trial In oyer nnd terminer an
other, n foul mouthed, gelling mob the last.
Wits there li timco on his back as widens
your two Angers where he was not whipped I
Was there a space on Ills brow nn inch
tquaro where ho was not cut of tho brlcrsl
W hen tho splko struck at the instep did it
not go clear through to tho hollow of the
foot I Uh, long, deep, bitter pilgrimage.
A Iocs I Aloes I
John leaned his head on Christ, but who
did Christ lean out Kivo thousand men fed
by tho Saviour; who fed Jesus! The syni
pathy of a H.ivlour'n heart going out to tho
lejior nnd the adulteress; but who soothed
Cluit( Denied Ituttt crndloaiid death bed,
ho had a lit place neither to be born nor to
die. A jxxjr babo! A jioor Lull A poor
young maul Not so much ns n taper to
cheer hU dying hours. Mven tho caudle of
the sun imuired out. Oh, was it not nil aloes!
All our sins, sorrows, bereavements, losses,
and ail tho ngoulesof cnithnud hell picked
up as In one cluster uud squeezed Into ono
cup, nnd that pressed to his lips, until the
ncrld, tuiuseiitiug, bitter draught was
swallowed with n distorted counte
nance, and a shudder from head to
foot, uud n gurgling strangulation. Aloesl
A Iocs I Nothing but aloes. All this for him
self! All this to get tho fame In tlio world of
being u mat tyr! All thiJ lu a spirit of stub
bornness, because he did not llko Ctusarf No!
nol All this because ho wanted to pluck you
nnd mo from hell. Uccnuto ho wanted to
rniso you nnd mo to heaven. IJecuuso wo
were lost nnd ho wnuted us found. Hecuuso
wo wcro blind ami ho wanted us to see. I lo
calise we were hcrfs nml ho wanted us manu
mitted. Oh, j o in w hoso cup of life the sac-
t'hnriuo has predominated; oh, yo who havo
had bright and sparkling beverages, how do
you feci toward him who in your stead, and to
purelinso your discnthrnllmcut, took the
nloes, the unsavory iilocs, the bitter nlocsf
THE riX'ULIAM QUALITIES OK CASSIA.
Your third curiosity is to know why tlieso
garments of Christ are odorous w Ith cassia.
Tills was a plant that grew In India nnd tho
r.djolnlng Islands. You do not caro to hear
what kind of n (lower it had or what kind of
a stalk. It Is enough for mo to tell you that
it was used medicinally. In that laud and
in that age, w hero they knew but llttlo about
pharmacy, cassia was used to nrrest many
forms of disease. Bo when in luy text wo
find Christ coming with garments that smell
of cassia, it suggests to mo tho healing and
curntlvo power of tho Bon of God. "Oh."
you say, "now you havo n superfluous
idea. Wo aro not sick. Why do wo want
cassia! Wo nro athletic. Our respira
tion is perfect. Our limbs nro lithe,
and In these cool days wo feel wo could
bound liko tlio roo." 1 beg to dllTer, my
brother, from you. Nono of you can lw let
ter in physical health than I am, nnd yet 1
must say wo nro all sick. I havo taken tho
diagnosis of your case, nnd havo examined
nil the best authorities on the subject, nml 1
havo como now to tell you that you nro full
of wounds nnd bruises and putrefying sorcu
which havo not been bound up or mo'lillcd
with ointment. Tho marasmus of sin Is on
us tho palsy, tho dropsy, tho leprosy. Tho
man Hint Is expiring to-night on Pulton
street tho allopathic, and homeopathic doc
tors havo given him up, mid his frlcndj
now standing around to take his last words
is no moro certainly dj (ng as to his body
than you and I nre dying unless wo lmo
taken tho medicine from God's npothcenry.
All tho leaves of this Ulblo nro only so many
prescriptions from tho dlvlno physician,
written, not in Latin, like the prescriptions
of earthly physicians, but written in plain
English, so that n man, though a fool, need
not en therein. Thank God that tho Saviour's
garments smell of c.-vwliu
Supposo n man wcro sick, nml thero was a
phial on his mautclpicco with mcdlciuo ho
know would ('1110 him, and ho refused to take
it, what would you say of him! Ho Is a sui
cide And what do you say of that man
who, bjcl; in sin, has tho healing mcdlciuo of
God's grace offered him, and refuses to take
It! if ho dies ho is a su.cidc. People talk us
though God took n man uud led him out to
darkness nud death, as though ho brought
him up to tho cllirs and then pushed him on".
Oh, no. Whou a man is lost it is not becausa
God push: him olf ; it is because ho Jumps
off. In olden limes a suicide was buried at
tho cros-i roads and tho people wcro
accustomed to throw stones Uxm his grave.
Bo it seems to mo thcio may bo in this houso
a man who Is destroying his own sou), and
as though the nugols of God wcro hero to
bury hlni nt tho point where tho roads of
life nud d'.-ntb crots each other, throwing
upon tho grave tho broken law ami a great
pile of uilslmprovcd privileges, bo that those
going may look at tho fearful mound and
learn what a suicide it is when au immortal
soul, for which Jesus died, puts itself out of
tho way.
SOME OK TUB CUltCS imOUOHT AIIOUT DY
ciimsT.
When Christ trod this planet with foot of
flesh, the Hop!o rushed lifter him people
who were tick, uud those who, being so sick
thoy could not walk, wcro brought by their
friends. Hero I see a mother holding up her
llttlo child and Guying: "Cure this croup,
Lord Jesus. Curo this scarlet fever," Aud
others saying; "Curo this ophthalmia. Givo
case nud rest to tills spinal distress.
Straighten this club foot." Christ mado
every houso w hero ho stopped a dispensary.
I do not bclioNo that In the nineteen centu
ries that have gone by since, his heart lias got
hard. 1 feci that wo can como now with ull
our woumU of soul ami get his benedic
tion. O, Jesus, Lore wo are. Wo want heal
ing. Wo want sight. Wo want health.
Wo want lifo. Tho w holo need not u physi
cian, but they that m 0 sick. Ulcsscd be God
that Jesus Christ conies through this assent
hlago uow, his "garments smelling of
myrrh" that means fragrance "and a ocs"
thoy mean bitter sacrillcial memories
"and cassia" that meatis medliMie and curo;
aud, according to my text, ho comes "out of
lho Ivory palaces."
You know, or if you do not know I will
tell you now, thut somo of the palaces of
olden time were adorned with Ivory. Ahab
wd Solomon Lad their homes f urnUhcd with
it. Tho tuska of African and Asiatic e!o
fhauts wcro twlitcd into ell manners of
-jhapci, and there tirro ttalu of ivory, nud
chair of Ivory, uud tahto of Ivory, mid
floor of ivory, nud pillars of ivory, nud win

utmost stuns my brain, nnd you rctyi "Oh, if
1 could only havo walked over such floors!
If I could have thrown mjself in such 11
chulrt If 1 could have heard tlio drip nud
dnsh of thoso fountains!" You shall lmvo
something letter than that If jou only let
Christ iutrodiimyoii. From that place ho
camonml to that place ho proposes to trans
port J oil, for his "garments smell of myrrh,

Today it seems to mo as If tho windows ;f
tlioo pnhiccs were Illumined for soma great
victory, aud 1 look nud see climbing the
stalls of ivory, and walking 0:1 floors of
Ivory, nud looking from tho windows of
Ivory, somo whom we knew uud loved on
earth. Yes, I know them. Thcro nro

that went out from jou Chilst did not lei
one of them dmp as ho lifted them. He did
not wrench 0110 of them from j oti. No. They
went us from ono thoy loved well to one
whom they loved better. If 1 should take
your little child ami press its soft face against
my rough cheek, I might keep It a little
white; but w hell you, tho mother, camo along,
It would struggle logo with jou. And so
you stood holding your dying child when
Jesus passed by In the room, uud tho llttlo
one sprang out to greet him. That is all,
Your Christian dead did not godown Into tlio
dust and the gravel uud the mud. Though it
rallied all that funeral day, uud the water
came up to the wheel's huh as you drove out
to the cemetery, it made no dlircrcnco to
them, for they sicpjtod from the homo here to
the home there, right Into tho ivory palaces.
All is well w ith them. All is well.
It is nut a dead weight thut you lift when
you cat ry 11 Chrlstulii out. Jesus makes tho
ed up soft with clct promises, nnd ho
saysi "Put her do 11 hero very gently. Put
that head, which will uover nchu again, on
this pillow of hallelujahs. Send up word
that the procession is coming. Illug tlio
bolls, ltlngl 0on your gates, yo Ivory pal
aces." Ami so your loved oiioj nro there.
Thoy nro Just us certainly there, having died
hi Christ, as that you nre here. There is 1 lily
0110 thing moro they want. Indeed, thcio is
0110 thing in heaven they have not got.
They want it. What is it I Your com
pany, llut, oil, my brother, unless you
change your tack you cannot reuch
that harbor. You might us well take
tho Ilaltlmoio nml Ohio railroad, ex
pecting In thutdhcctlon to reach Toronto,
us to go on In tho way some of you aio going
and yet expect to reach tho Ivory palaces.
Your loved ones uro looking out of the win
dows of heaven now, uud yet you seem to
turn your back upon them. You do not set-in
to know the sound of their voices ns well as
you used to or to Ixi moved by tho sight of
their dear fiircu. Call louder, jo dejiartcd
ones. Cull louder from the ivory lulaees.
When I think or that place, uud think of my
entering it, I feel nwkwurd; 1 feel ns some
times when I havu been exposed to lho
weather and my shoes havo been bcmlrixj
und my coat is soiled nnd my hair is
disheveled uud I stop in front of some
lino residence where I havo mi errand.
I feel not (It to go in as 1 mil
und sit among polished guests. So
somo of us feel ubout heaven. We need to bo
washed; wo need to bo rehabilitate! bo f 010
wo go Into the ivory palaces. Kternul God,
let tho surge of thy pardoning mercy roll
over us. i want uotouly to wush my bauds
nud my feet, but, like somo skilled diver,
standing on tho pier head, who leaps Into tho
wavo and comes uput a far distant point
from where ho went in, so I want to go down
nud so 1 want to como up. O Jesus, wash
mo In tho wuves of thy salvation.

lias been oppressing 1110 Tor thirty jeurs. I

popular arlety this fall nnd palo lavender
seems to lie considered tho most desirable
tint.
Tho following Item Is from Tho Ilotso City
Democrat: Miss Alllo Angel, ftepdaughter of
L. I 'finer, who wont to llaltlmoru a fow
days since, took with her nn apple grown 011
the Tiucr plnco that measured twenty 0110
luchcs In clrctimferenco both wnys and
weighed forty ounces. This ?clmcii of
Uolso valley fruit created a rciisntlou on the
cam all along tho route, nnd Its fair possessor
refused many tempting oircrs of coin to port
with It, Every ono who aw It took it to bo
somo sort of a squash and would not believe
it nnupplo until submitted to handling and
applied to tho uoso.
At n recent meeting of tho Now York
Acndcmyof Anthropology an addresi was
mado by Vlroqua, princess of the Six Nations
of tho Mohawks, who llvo on the Grand
Itlvcr reset witlon, Her address was In re
gard to 1111 Indian college which sho is en
deavoring to havo established at Washing
ton. Col. Jnquess, a wealthy Plilladelplilan,
who lias been living lu England forthohst
ten years, has promised to contribute- 81,000,
000 towards siieh nn Institution on tho condi
tion that $2,000,000 more nro raised In this
country. Tho princess Is quite conlldcnt of
her success In tho attainment of her object,
and Is going to lecturo on tho subject in vir
rlous (wrta of tho country.
The Is That Owneil tlio Ilrrr.
Two dogs had been chasing n deer, nnd
when it was finally brought down tho v ivncrH
of the dogs began to wrangle about which of
thodogs started tho deer. The gnmo was laid
on tlio green sward, nnd soon tho bo-it ar
rived with tho two dogs. Ono of tho old
hunters cried out: "Send thoso hounds up
here, nnd let us c?o whoso deer this is."
Tlio gentleman who relates tho Incident,
never having heard of so strutigo a test, said,
half lu doubt:
"What nonsense Is that you nro talklngP
"No nonsense, doctor; wait and no."
Being deeply Interested 1 npproached
closely, that 1 might better observe tlio mil
ninN. Ouo of them walked up to tho deer,
smelt him nil ovor, nnd seemed qulto in
doubt. Then tho other dog camo up with nn
nugry growl, smelt the doer, ond deliberately
laid himself down by tho animal, whilo tho
first dog quietly plao.'d his tall between his
logs aud walked away. I could not help ex
pressing my nmnr.'.Mnent, aud, still doubting
lho fnct, I fiald to my old guldo:
"That dog that U lying by tbo door has
lioeu tho master of tho other, ami has cowed
him."
"On tho contrary," said my informant,
'tho dog thut guvo up tho doer Is tlio better
fighter, nnd whips that dog every time."
During tho day It was learned that tho
deer had been started ten miles down tho
river by tlio dog that claimed It, nnd tho
sound of his voice drew tho other 0110 about
four miles below tho lake Truo l-'lug.
The Ktotlio-Tclopliono.
If tho Lowth stetho-tclcphono conies Into
general use, ns It promises to do, tlio mouth
will cut but llttlo If any figure In tho trans
mission of telephone messages. The Instru
ment is n new iloiKirttiro In tho field of tele
phony. Instead of talking Into a dinphragm
the ojicrator 11ppl.es a button to tho vocal
cords on either ono or tho other side of the
thorax, talks Into 1 pure, and tho vibrations
nro taken ii;, carried along tho w Ire, and de
livered accurately In unwritten lungungont
the listener's car, miles away. Tho Instru
ment Un combined transimiternnd tecelvcr,
lho email box containing tlio receiver having
a hollow extension, nbout (our inches long,
starting from tlio side nud Muling in a small
boll shaped mouth, protrml ng slightly from
w bleu is u small, light button. The receiver
is adjusted to tho car In tho usual way, tho
button is slightly pressed ngulust tho larynx,
nud tho work of truusmitticu Is dotio by mus
cular vibrations that preccdj ami accompany
tho utlcranco of words or soui.di instead of
by ntinospherlo or sound wncr, cs lu the or
dinary telephone,
A peculiar feature of tho Invention is that
there liclng no diaphragm only the oiierntor'i
voico will.ba admitted, no matter how many
persons may isj inlklnj loudly around him.
