A vail con courto of jicuplo aieinblcd thl mornlnit on tlio LUtorlo camp ground at WkIi Bridge, Ky., to hrnr Dr. Talniao preach. They cnmo from nil tlioMirroundlnifcltle.i, town And neighborhood. A largo contin gent from Lottlnvlllo nnd Another from Clnclntintl wero prm-nt. Many of the visitor have remained liorotlnco yotter day afternoon, when Dr. Taltnaao preached in the nmo place. The text of nli sermon thlt mornlnK win from Acta 111, IS, "We are wltncMcu." Standing amid tho hills nnd groves of Kentucky, And licforo thU groat multltudu tliAt no nmtt inn number, ntot of whom I never saw before nnd never will too Attain In thli world, I choovo a very prnctlcnl theme. In the ilaya of Gcoruo Stoplionson, the porfoctorof tho locomotive englm, the aclctjtJtU. proved cwichudyyly that a mil tonu train could noverlo driven oystonm power auccooifiilly without peril; hut tho nulling express train from Liverpool to Edinburgh, nnd from Edinburgh to IVm don, have irtado nil tho nation wltnt'Meii of tho splendid nchlnvcmvut. Machinists nnd navigator proved con clusively tlmt n Mounter could never cross tho Atlnutlo ocean; but no sooner had they successfully proved thu Impossibility of uch nu undertaking tlmn tho work was ilono, nnd tho pamtongera on tho Cunnrd, and tho Intnun, nnd the National, nnd tlio White Star lines nro wltneMiea, There wont up n guffaw of wise laughter nt Professor Morse's proposition to make the lightning of heaven bis errnnd boy, and it was proved oncluslvoly that tho'thlnK could never Imi done; but now nil tho news of the wide world put In your hands every morning and night has made nil nations witnesses. 1 So ip the time of Christ 1C was proved conclusively that it was Impossible for hln to rise from the dead. It was shown logically that when a man was dead, he wm dead, and the heart, nnd the liver, and the lunga having ceased to perform their offices, the limbs would be rigid beyond all power of friction or nrousnl. They showed It to be An absolute absurdity that the dead Christ should ever get up alive; but ao sooner had they proved this tlmn the jdead Christ arose, nnd tho disciples beheld him, heard his voice, nnd talked with him, and thoy took tlio witness stand to prove that to bo true which tho wiseacres of the day had proved to lo Impossible; the reo ord of the experiment nnd of the testimony lain the toxtt "Him hath God raised from the dead, whereof wo uro witnesses." .A TOVUT or THE AQN08TIC. Now let mo play tho skeptic for n mo ment, "There is no God," says tho akcptlo, "for I have nover seen him with my phys ical eyesight Your Olble Is n pack of con tradlctlons. There nover was a miracle, Lasarua was not raised from tho dead, nnd the water was never turned into wine. Your religion is hu imposition on tho cre dulity of the ages." There is an aged mnu moving in that pew as though ho would like to respond. Here are hundreds of people with faces a little flushed nt theM announcements, and nl through this throng there la a suppressed feeling which would like to speak out In behalf of the truth of our glorious Christianity, an in the days of tho text, crying out, "Wo nro wit nesses!" Tho fact is that if this world Is ever brought to God it will not bo through ar gument, but through testimony. You might cover the wholo earth with npolo giea for Christianity and learned treatises In defease of religion you would not cou vert a soul. Lecture ou the harmony be tween eclenco nnd religion are beautiful mental discipline, but hnvo nover saved a aoul and never will save a soul. Put n man of tho world and a mnu of tho church against each other, and tho man of tho world will, in all probability, get the tri umph. There aro n thousand things in our religion that seem Illogical to thu world, nnd always will seem illogical. Our weapon in thin conflict is faith, not logic; faith, not metaphysics; faith, uot S rotundity; faith, not scholastlo explora ion. But then, in order to have faith, wo must have testimony, and it flvo hundred men, or one thousand men, or flvo hun dred thousand men, or flvo million men get up and tell mo that they have felt the religion of Jesus Christ a joy, a com fort, a help, au inspiration, I am bound as a fair minded man to accept their testi mony. I want just now to put before you three propositions, tho truth of which I think this audience will attest with over whelming unanimity. The first proportion tot Wo aro witnesses that tho religion of Christ is able to convert a soul. The Gos pel may have had u hard time to conquer us, we may have fought it back, but wo were vanquished. You say conversion is only an imaginary thing. We know bet ter. "We are witnesses." Thoro never was so great a change in our heart and llto on any other subject as on this. Peoplo laughed at the missionaries In Madagascar because they preached ten years without one convert; but there are many thousands of converts In Madagas car today. Peoplo laughod at Dr. Judsqu, the Baptist missionary, because he kept ou preaching In Burmah live years with out a single convert; but thcro nro many thousands of Baptists In Burmah today. People laughod at Dr. Morrison In Chlua tor preaching there seven years without a slnglo conversion; but there are many thousands of Christians in China today. People laughed at the missionaries for preaching at Tahiti for fifteen years with out a single conversion, and at the mis sionaries tor preaching in Bengal seven teen years without a single conversion; yet in all those lands there are multitudes of Christians today, 1 But' why go lo far to find evidences of the Qospel's power to savo a soulf "We are witnesses." We were so proud that no man could have humbled us; we were so bard that no earthly power could have melted us. Augels of God were all around about us; they could not overcome us; but one day, perhaps at a Methodist anxious eat or at a Presbyterian catechetical lec ture or at a burial or on horseback, a power seised us and made us get down and made aa tremble and made us kneel and made sacry for mercy, and we tried to 'wrench ourselves away from the grasp, but we could not It flung us fiat, a'nd when we arose we were as much chrnged asGourgls, the heathen, who went into a prayer meet ing with a dagger and a gun, to disturb tho meeting asd destroy It, but the next day waeftound crying: "Oh, my great situ! Qb, ary "great, Saviourl" and for eleven yMrrpreacted nbe Gospel of Christ to bis fellow mountaineers, the last words on his dying lips being "Free grace!" Oh, It was frMgraeel ' WU40VS CONTORTED BY THE GOSPXL. There to a man who was for ten years a hard drinker. Tin dreadful appetite had sent down its roots around the palato nnd the tongue, nnd tut down until they w ere Inteillnked with the vitals Of the body, mind and soul, bttt he has not taken any stimulants fur two ears. What did thatf Not temperance societies. Not prohibition laws. Not moral suasion. Conversion did It, "Why," said ono upon whom tin great change had come, "sir, I feel just as though I woro somebody else." There Is n sea cap tain who sworo all tho way from New York to Havana, nisi from Havana to San Francisco, nnd when ho was In port hit was worso than when he was ou sen. What power was It that washed his tongue clean of profanities and madu htm a psalm slngcrr Conversion by the Holy .Spirit. There are thousands of peoplo hero todny who are no timru what they onco were than n water Illy Is a nightshade, or a morning lark In it vulture, or day is night Now, If I should demand that nil thoia lieoplo here present who have felt the con verting power of religion should rise, so far from being ashamed they would spring to their feet with far more alacrity than they ever sprang to tho dance, the tears mingling with their exhilaration ns they cried, "Wo nro witnesses!" And If they tried to slug tho old Gospel hymn tlioy would break down with emotion by tho tltuo they got to tho second Unci Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend On whom my hopes of beaten depend? Not When I blush, bo tills toy sliamo. That I no tnoro rovero hi tintuo. Again, I remark that "wo aro wltnessis" of tliu Gospel's power to comfort. When a man has troublo tho world comes tn and sajst "Now get your mind off thin; go out nnd brvatho tho f rcsh nlr; pi tin go deeper Into busluoM." What poor ndvlcel Get your mind off itl when everything Is upturned with tho bereavement, and everything ro attuds you of what you have lost. Got your mind oft Itl Tlioy might as well ad vlso you to stop thinking, and you cannot top thinking in that direction. Take u walk In tho fresh alrl Why, along that very street, or that very road, she onco ac companied you. Out of that grass plot sho plucked flowers, or Into that show window she looked fascinated, saying, "Como see tho pictures." Go deeper Into business! Why, she was associated with all your business ambition, and since she has gone you Itavo no ambition left. Oh, this is n clumsy world when it trios to comfort u broken hcartl I can build a Corliss engine, I can paint a Raphael's "Madonna," I can play a Beethoven's symphony ns easily ns this world can comfort a broken heart. And yet you have lccu comforted. How was It donor Did Christ como to you and sayt "Got your mind off this. Go out nnd breathe tho fresh nir. Plunge deeper into business" No, Thorowusnintuiitowhen ho camo to you perhaps in the watches of tho night, perhaps In your placo of busi ness, perhnps along tho strcot and ho breathed something Into your soul that gavo peace, rest, iullnlto quiet, no that you could tako out tho photograph of the de parted ono and look Into tho eyes nnd the face of the dear ono and sayt "It Is all right She, is bettor off, I would uot call her back. Lord, I thank theo that thou bos comforted my poor heart." MVINE IIEALINO FOtt THE BICK SOUL There nro Christian parents hero who are willing to testify to tho power of this Gos pel to comfort Your son had just gradu ated from school or college and was going Into buslnoss, nnd tho Lord took htm. Or your daughter had just graduated from tho young ladle' seminary, and you thought she was going to bo a useful wo man and of long lite, but the Lord took her, and you woro tempted to say, "All this culture of twenty years for nothing!" Or tho little child came homo from school with tho hot fover that stopped not for tho agonised prayer or for the skillful physi cian, and the llttlo child was taken. Or tho babe was lifted out of your arms by sotno qulok epidemic, and you stood won dering why God ever gave you that child at all If io soon ho was to tako It away. And yet you are not repining, you aro not fretful, you are uot fighting against God. What enabled you to stand all the trial f "Oh," you say, "I took the medicine that God gavo my sick soul. In my distress I threw myself at tho feet of a sympathizing God; and wheu I was too weak to pray or to look up he breathed Into mo a pence that I think must be tho foretaste of that heaven whero thcro Is neither a tear nor n farewell nor a grave." Come, all yo who have boou out to tho grnvo to weep there come, all ye comforted souls, get up off your knees. Is there no power In this gospel to sootho tho hcartf Is there no power in this religion to quiet the worst paroxysm of grief t Thoro comes up au an swer from comforted widowhood and or phanage and childlessness, saying, "Ay, ny, we are witnesses!" -, Again, I remark thut wo are witnesses of tho fact that rollglou has power to give composure in tho last moment, I shall never forgot tho first time I confronted death. Wo went ncross the corullelds In the country. I was led by my father's hand, nnd wo enmu to tho farm house whero the bereavement had como and wo saw the crowd of wagons and can lagus; but there was ono oarnago that especially attracted my boyish attention, nnd It had black plumes. I Bald: "What's thatf what's thatf Why thoso black tassels at tho topf " And after It was explained tp mo I was lifted up to look upon the bright f iico of an aged Christian woman, who three days be fore had departed iu triumph, The whole see no made an Impression I never forgot IT IB VO IIKAKSAY EVIDENCE. In our sermons and our lay exhortations wo are very apt, when wo want to bring Il lustrations of dying (triumph, to go back to some distinguished personage to a John Knox or a Harriett Newell. But I want you for witnesses. I want to know It you have over seen anything to make you bo- liovo that the religion of Christ can give composure In tho final hour. How, In the courts, attorney, jury and judge will uover admit mero heresay. They demand that the witness must have seeu with his own eyes, or beard with his own ears, and so I am critical lu ray examination of you now, and I want tp know whether you have seen or heard anything that makes you believe that the religion of Christ gives composure in the inal hour. "Ob, yea," you say, "I saw my father and mother depart There was a great dif ference In their deathbeds. Standing by the one we felt more veneration. By the other, there was more tenderness." Before the one you bowed, perhaps, In awe. In the other case you felt as if you "would like to go along wltb her. How did they feel In that last hour r How did they seem to actf Were they very much frighteuedr Did they take hold of this world with both hands as though they did not want to glvo It upf "Ob, no," you say; "no; 1 remem ber aa though t were yesterday; she had a kind word for ua all, and there were a few mementoes distributed among the chil dren, and then'ahetold us how kind wo must be to our father in his loneliness, and Chen she kissed us goodby and went asleep as a child In a cradle." What made her se composed f Natural courage? "No," you say; "mother was very nerv- emu when tho carriage Inclined to the sldo of tho road she would cry out; she wasalwa)s rather weakly." What gavo her composure? Was It bccatisoshe did not caro much for you, and tho pang of parting was not grrntr "Oh," you say, "she showered upon us a wealth of affec tion) no mother ever loved her children mora than mother loved us; sho showed It by tho way sho nursed us wheu we were sick, and sho tolled for tts until her Ktrength gavo out" What, then, w.ts It that gavo her composure In tho last hour? Do not hldu It. He frank and lot me know. "Oh," you nay, "It was Ijccatixe sho was so good; sho made tho lortl her portion, and sho had faith that she would go straight to glory, and that wo should all meet her at last at tho foot of tho throne." UNCOUNTED MILLIONS or WITNK8HE8. Hero aro peoplo who say, "I saw n Chris tian brother tile, and ho triumphed." And sotno ono else, "I saw n Christian sister tile, and sho triumphed." Some otto else will say, "I saw n Christian daughter tile, and sho triumphed." Como, all yo who have seen tho last moments of a Chrlxtlan, nnd glvo testimony In thla cause ou trlnl. Uncover your heads, put your hand ou tho old family Hlble, from which they ttu-d to read tho promises, nnd promlno In the presence of high heaven that you will tell tho truth, thu wholo truth and nothing but tho truth. With what you Itavo seeu with your own eyes nnd whnt you have heard with your own ears, Is there power lu this Gospel to give calmness and tri umph In tho latt exigency? Tho response comet from all aide, from young and old nnd middle nged, "Wo are witnesses!" You see, my friends, I hnvo uot put be fore you nu abstraction or a chimera, or anything like guess work, I present you nllldnvlts of tho bent men nnd women, liv ing nnd dead. Two witnesses In court will establish n fact Hero aro uot two wit nesses, but millions of witnesses on earth nnd In heaven testifying that thcro Is power lu this religion to convert tho soul, to glvo comfort lu troublo and to afford composuro tn tho last hour. If ten men should como to you when you aro sick with appalling sickness and say they had tho same sickness nnd took a cer tain medicine and It cured them, you would probably tako It Now, suppose ten other ineu should como up and say, "We don't bollovo that there Is anything In that medi cine." "Well," I say, "have you tried It?" "No, 1 never tried It, but I don't belluvo there Is anything In It." Of courso you discredit their testimony. Tho skeptic may come anil say, "There Is no power tn your religion." "Havo you over trletl It?" "No, no." "Then avauntl" Let mo take the testimony of tho mllltousot souls that have been converted to God and comforted lit trial anil solaced lu the Inst hour. Wo will take their testimony as they cry, "We are wltuessesl" LOOK KOIt THE BTAIt OP nKTIILKIIEM. Professor Henry, of Washington, discov ered a now star, and tho tidings sped by ubmarlno telegraph, and nil tho observa tories of Kttropo wero watching for that new star. Oh, hearer, looking out through tho darkness of thy soul, canst thou see u bright light beaming on thee? "Whore?" you say; "whoru? How can I find Itl Look nlong by tho lino of tho Cross of the Son of God. Do you not see It tremblina with all tenderness and beaming with nil hope It Is tho Stnr of Bethlehem. Deep horror then my vitals froze, Dcnthstruck I ceased tho tldo to stem, When suddenly a star arose It was the Star of llcthlchcm. Oh, hearers, get your eye on It. It 1j easier for you now to become Christiana than it Is to stay away from Christ nnd heaven. When Mine. Sontng began her musical career sho was hissed oft the stngo nt Vienna by the friends of her rival, Ame lia Stelnlnger, who had already begun to decline through her dissipation. Yearn passed on, ami ono day Mmo. Sontng, in her glory, was riding through tho strceto of Berlin, when sho saw a llttlo child lead ing u blind woman, and sho said: "Como here, my llttlo child, como hero Who is that you aro leading by tho hand?" Ami tho llttlo child replied: "That's my moth er; that's Amelia Stelnlnger. Shu used to bo a great singer, but sho lost her voice, nnd sho cried so much about it that sho lost her eyesight" "Glvo my lovo to her." eatd Mmo. Sontag, "and tell hor an old ao- qualntauco will call on hor this afternoon.'.' Tho next week In Berlin n vast assem blage gathered nt a benefit for that poor blind woman, and it was said that Sontng sang that night as sho had never auug be fore. And sho took a skilled oculist, who In vain tried to glvo eyesight to tho ;oor blind woman. Until tho day of Amelia Stelnlnger's death Madum Sontag took caro of her ami her daughter After her. That was what tho queen of song did for her enemy. But oh, hear a more thrilling story still. Blind, Immortal, poor and lost; thou who, when. the world and Christ wero rivals for thy heart didst hiss thy Lord away Christ comes now to give theo sight, to glvo thee a home, to glvo theo heaven. With more than a Sontag's gen erosity, he comes now to meet your need. With more than n Sontag's music, ho comes to plead for thy deliverance. Sign Language. A gang of laborer wero relaying tho tracks of tho Pino street electric Hue, ami lu charge of one squad was a burly Irish man who walked to and fro picking up mall stones. Curious to know why ho gathered tho pebbles and did not move tho big stones, a bystander asked him why he carried his haudful of llttlo rocks. "Thlm's me ordthers," was tho prompt reply. "Does the company tell you to pick up all the small stones?" "No, no, no, ye don't understand me. Them's me instructors. See me now," and as he said the word ho threw one of the pebbles ut a stooping laborer, striking him sharply In the side. Tho man looked up, and as ho caught the eye of the boss another pebble struck two feet to his left. Without a word he begau digging his pick into the macadam where tho pebble fell. "Now, do yo understand mo?" remarked tho boss, getting ready to hit uAother la borer. "Are the men deaf?" he was asked. "Are they date? Not a bit of It" "Then why don't you talk to them?" "Talk to them, is it? It's a folno time I'd havo tryin' to make tbltn see the plut Them's Eyetallans, every mother's son o' tblm." St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Snake Dp a Tree. Recently J. C.

Henry Hercules Ilndley it as jxicullnr a man aa I ever mot, nnd it Is hard to say just how he has oscapod greatness. Years ngo, when ho wns n Bohemian among us, we used to think It was because he lacked moral principle A number of otheri escaped tho sumo way. Then, his alms wero not lefty, lie fairly distinguished hlmsolf tl. tl. HAUI.KY. in various tilings which ho undertook, but ho nover teoiued to untlcrtnko any thing thut was worthy of his talents. Ho mingled in politics nnd was known not only nn a powerful Btump speaker, but ns an nctivo worker in underground politics. Hudloy was a soldier. Ho cnmo of good stock, and claims that Jonathan Edwards was his great-grandfather's un cle. On his father's sido thcro wero nu merous ancestors of vory respectnblo fame Ho enlisted in an Ohio regiment when ho was twenty years old, and learned to drink inordinately while in tho army, Ho says that fifty drinks u day wero not enough for him hen ho was nt his worst Ho becntno a captain and brevet lieutenant colonel, wherefore ho has bcen'ealled Colonel Hudloy since tho war. Ho wont into business, made money and spent it recklessly, studied law and practiced with success. Making largo money nil tho time ho grow poorer and poorer, though ho nover had less than enough to maintain tho nppearanco of a gentleman, and according to bis own story never ceased to keep up sort of strugglo against tho drinking habit. When ho became a New York Boho mian his fortunes wero nt low ebb, but ho was nlwiiys full of schemes, and long boforo ho mado his radical de parture from tho old lino of lifo which ho had followed so long ho had organized tho Business Men's Society for tho En couragement of Moderation, an institu tion which inndo it considerable stir in Now York and which really did accom plish something in tho way of good. At least it served to eke out Hadloy's in como, as ho frankly acknowledged at tho time, and it paid for tho mainten ance of ono or more publio ico water fountains every summer in places whero a pusser by would bo likely to bo divert ed from the purchase of beer by the proximity of freo ico wator. In 1880, howover, ho changed radically. Ho and a fiend sworo off (as Hadloy had often boforo done) at tho conclusion of a furious drinking bout, uud Hadloy stuck to it Tho other did not. Ho is dead. Uadley managed by will power and tho aid of u physician to keep his oath for forty-eight hours, and then, sadly broken up, ho called in ut a meet ing of tho famous McAuloy mission in Water street, whero his brother, also a reformed drunkard, was superintendent nt tho titno. Thoro, Hadloy says, ho was converted, and from that timo till this has never had tho desiro to drink or oven to go into saloon. Ho wus very profano by habit, and ho says that it has never ocenrrod to him to swear since. "By their works yo shall know them." What has Uadley done? Ho was at thut timo editor nnd proprietor of a small up town paper which was mainly sup ported by tho advertisements of brewers nnd liquor dealers. In tho next issuo of his paper ho announced that ho would tako no more such advertisements. Thou, with tho nssistanco of a friend, he re funded all monoys paid in advunco for standing "ads," and throw them ont of his columns. Then he struggled. I was associated with him in a business arrangement for some months soon af ter this, and I know of his refusing dishonest money which ho might havo taken secretly ut a time when ho was strug gling tho hardest And after working hard all day ho used to go every night and work without pay ut u little obscure east side mission whero druukiirds wero dragged iu and prayed for. His tre mendous physlcul strength (ho is a very largo and vory powerful man) enabled him to stand tho strain, and as timo went on ho proved his ability in this lino of work bo that ho was presently engaged, at an infinitesimal salary, to establish other missions of a liko character. Tills wus ut a time when, refreshed by his temperanco habits nnd in the full vigor of manhood, ho might havo gono into business again or resumed tho prac tice of tho law, and might havo been reasonably certain of a good income. Ho did neither, but stuck to tho mission work and is ut it yet Ho has started missions in New Brunswick, Rochester, Harlem, Morristown, Buffalo, Newark and Bayonno, N. J., and is now tho su perintendent of the St Bartholomew Rescue mission in this city, Ho says, "Since May, 1887, 1 have seen over 17,000 hard driukers start to become Christians, and havo personally knelt in prayer with more than half of them and beard them pray for tuemstves.' tie freely admits, however, that 70 or 80 per cent of those who undertako a new lifo succumb to the old temptation. Mr. Cornelius Vunderbilt is ono of the vestrymen of St. Bartholomew's church, nnd it is understood thut he is the prin cipal subscriber to the cost of tho new mission house in Forty-second street, where, aa a policeman told mo today, "poor unfortunate men will get grub and Gospel."
