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

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

meeting asd destroy It, but the next day

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

change had come, "sir, I feel just as though
I woro somebody else." There Is n sea cap

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

On whom my hopes of beaten depend?

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

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

"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

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."

Hero aro peoplo who say, "I saw n Chris

sotno ono else, "I saw n Christian sister

will say, "I saw n Christian daughter tile,

Uncover your heads, put your hand ou

You see, my friends, I hnvo uot put be

New York, July 9. 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." David A. Cumis.
