THE GREATEST NAME.
JE8U8, THE NAME HIGH OVER ALU,
IN HEAVEN, EARTH OR SKY.

IlnooKLYN, May I. W'lillo Dr. Talmago
Is ablo to hold vast audiences Kpcllboiind
by-hls eloquence, what ever nubject he bus
in Im tul, ho Is never so eloquent or mo evi
dently n great orator ax when he preaches
Christ ns tho olio hopo for the regeneration
of tho world. Tho fact was proved tills
morning when ho discoursed from the text,
Phlllpplans II, 0, "The name which Ik
above- every natuo."
Paul is hero making rapturous and en
thusiastic description of the namo of
Christ. There aro merely worldly tinmen
that sometimes thrill you through mid
through. Such was tho name of Henry
ClnytonKontucklnn, thanamoof William
Wirt to a Virginian, tho nnmo of Daniel
Webster to ft New Knglandcr.
By common proverb wo havo cotno to Iks
llevo that "them is nothing In a nnine;"
and so parents sometimes ftt tho baptismal
altar give titles to their children reckless
of the fact that that title, that name, will
be a lifetime hindrance or n lifetime help.
You havo no right to givo your child a
namo lacking either in euphony or moral
meaning.
It is a sin to call a child Johoiaklmor
Tlglath-pllesur or by anything that is
disagreeable. Hecause you havo had an
exasperating name yourself Is no reason
why you Bhould Inflict it upon your prog
eny. And yet how often it is that we
see a name full of jargon rattling down
from generation to generation simply be
cause a long while ago some one happened
to be afflicted with It, Institutions and
great enterprises sometimes without suf
ficient deliberation take nomenclature.
Mighty destinies havo been decided by a
namo. While wo may by a long course of
Christian lchav!or get over tho misfortune
of having been baptized with tho name of
a despot or a cheat, how much better it
would have been if we could have all
tarted life without any such incum
brance I
AN EA8V NAME.
When Paul, In my text and In other pas
sages of Scripture, burst forth in aspira
tions of admiration for tho namo of Christ,
I want to Inquire what aro the character
istics of that appellation, "The namo which
( above every name." In the first place,
speaking to you in regard to the namo of
Christ, I want to tell you it is an easy
name. You aro sometimes Introduced to
people with long and unpronounceable
names, and you have to listen cautiously
to get the names, and you havo to hear
them pronounced two or three times be
fore you risk trying to utter them, but
within tho llrst two years the little child
folds its hands and looks upward and says
"Jesus."
Can it be that in all this church this
morning there are representatives of any
household where tho children are familiar
with the names of the father and mother
and brother and sister, yet know nothing
about "that name which is above every
name?" Sometimes you forget tho name
of a quite familiar friend, and you have to
think mid think leforo you get It, but can
you imagine any freak .of intellect by
which you should forget the name of
Jesus? That word seems to fit the tongue
in every dialect. Down to old age, when
the voice Is tremulous nnd uncertain and
indistinct, even then this regal word linds
potent utterance.
When an aged father was dying ono of
the children came and said, "Father, do
you know niof" and in tho delirium of the
lost sickness he said, "No, I don't know
you." Another child camoand said, "Fa
ther, do you know mor" "No," he paid,
"I don't know you." Then tho village pas
tor came in and wild, "Do you know mo?"
He said, "No; I don't think I ever saw
you." Then said tho minister, "Do you
know Jesus?" "Oh, yes!" said the dying
man, "I know Jesus; chief among ten thou
sand is he, and the ono altogether lovely."
Yes, for nil ages nnd for all languages, and
for all conditions is an easy name.
Jesus, I love thy charming name,
'Tis muslo to iiiy ear;
Falu would I sound It out bo loud
That heaven uud earth might hear.
A 1IEAUTIFUL NAME.
But I remark further in regard to this
namo of Christ, that it isa beautiful name.
Now you have noticed that you cannot dis
associate a name from tho character of the
person who has it. There are some names,
for instance, that are repulsive to my car.
Those names are attractive to your ear.
What is tho difference? Why, I happened
to know some persons of that name who
were cross or sour lb r queer or unsympa
thetic, nnd the persons'you have happened
to know of that name were kind and
genial. Since, then, we cannot disassociate
a name from tho character of the person
who has the name, that consideration
makes tho name of Jesus unspeakably
beautiful.
I cannot pronounce that nnmo in your
presence, but you think of Bethlehem and
Gethsumanc and Golgotha, and you see his
loving face, and you hear his tender voice,
and you feel his gentle touch. As soon as
I pronounce his name in your presence you
think of him who banqueted with heav
enly hlerarchs, yet camo down and break
fasted on tho fish which tho rough men
hauled out of Gencsaret; you think of him
who, though the clouds aro tho dust of his
feet, walked footsore on the road to Km
niaiiH. I cannot speak his name in your hearing
this morning, but you think right away of
the shining one who restored tho cen
turion's daughter, and who helped tho
blind man to sunlight, and who made tho
cripple's crutch useless, and who looked
down into the laughing eyes of the babe
until it struggled to go to him; then, Hing
ing his arms around it, and impressing a
kiss upon Its beautiful brow, said, "Of
such is the kingdom of heaven."
Oh, beautiful name, the namo of Jesus,
which stands for love, for patience, for
self sacrillce, for magnanimity, for every
thing that Is good and glorious and ten
der and sympathetic and kind I It is
aromatic with all odors. It Is accordant
with all harmonies. Sometimes when I
look at that name of Jesus Christ It stems
as If the letters were made of tears, and
then they seem to be gleaming crowns.
Sometimes that name seems to be twisted
out of the straw on which ho lay, and then
it seems to be built out of the thrones on
which his people are to reign. Sometimes
I sound that word JeMis, and I hear In it
the sob of Gothscmiine and the groan of
Calvary, and then I speak his name and it
Is all a ripple with gladness and a ring
wl'.h hosnuua. Glorious name!
A (ILOIItlltb NAMK.
Take all thu glories of bookblndery and
put them around the page on which that
name is printed, On Christmas tnornlug
Areatho it on the wall, tat It drip from
lurp'ii string and let it thunder out in
organ's diapason. Sound it often, sound It
well, until every star shall seem to shine
it, nnd every flower shall seem to breathe
It, nnd mountain and sen, and day nt.d
night, nnd earth nnd heaven acclaim In full
chant, "Blessed be his glorious name fox'
ever." "Tho name which la above every
name.''
Have you ever heard in a Methodist
church, during a time of revival, u stoic
of souls come to the attar and cry out Tot
mercy under tho power of just two llneH.j.1
glorious old John Wesley?
Jesus, the iiiiuio high over all,
in heaven, or enrth, or sky.
To the repenting soul, to tho exhausted
invalid, to tl Sunday school girl, to Hit
snow white octogenarian It is beaut lfi
Thonged man comes In front a long wail,
and he tremulously opens the doorofh.s
home, nnd he hangs his hat on the m I
nail, nnd he puts his cauo In the ust 1 1
place, and he lies on his couch, and hu sin p
to his children and his grandchildren, " Y
dears, I am going away from you." Au
they say, "Why, when1 aro you golu
grandfather?" "Oh," he says, "I am go
Ing to Jesus;" and so the old man faint -away
into heaven.
And tho little child comes In from pl.t..
and sho flings herself In your lap, and hoi
says, "Mamma, I'm so sick, I'm so vcrj
sick;" and you put her to !cd, and the
fever.ls worse and worse, and some mid
night, whllo you are shaking up the pillow
and giving tho medicine, she looks up In
your faco and says, "Mamma, I'm going
away front you." You say, "Why, where
arc you going, my darling'" Anil site
says, "I am going to Jesus." And the i-i-d
cheek that you take to bo tho mark of the
fever turns out to bo only tho carnation
bloom of heaven.
"(iOINO TO JE8U8."
Oh, was It not leauttful when a little
child heard that her playmate was dying,
and she.wont to thv house, and she clam'
be red upon the bed of her dying playmate,
nnd sho said to the dying playmate,
"Where are you going to?" and the dying
girl said, "I'm going to Jesus." Then
said the llttloglrl that was well as she bent
over to give the parting kiss to her dying
playmate, "Well, then, if you are going to
Jesus, give my lovo to him." It is a beau
tiful name, whether on tho lips of child
hood or on the lips of the old man. When
my father was dying tho vlllnge minister
said to him. quoting over his pillow this
passage "This is a faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation that Christ Je
sus came into tho world to save sinners,"
and there ho stopped. Then my father fin
ished tho quotation by saying, "of whom I
nm chief."
But I remark again, in regard to this
name of Christ, that it is a mighty name.
Hothschild Is a name mighty in the com
mercial world, Silllmnn Is a namo mighty
In the sclentlllo world, Irving Is u name
mighty in the literary world, Washington
is a name mighty In the political world,
Wellington Is a name mighty in tho mili
tary world, but where in nil the enrth is a
nnmo so potent to lift and thrill and arouse
and rally anil bless as the name Jesusf
Why, the sound of that one name unhorsed
Saul and threw Newton on his face on
ship's deck, and that one name today,
while I speak, holds a hundred million
souls under omnipotent spell. That name
In England today means more than Vic
toria. In Germany that name today means
more than Kmpcror Willlntn. Oh, mighty
namo!
I havo seen a man bound hand and foot
of the devil nnd captive of all evil habits,
at tho sound of that name dash down his
shackles aud march out forever free. I
havo seen a man overcome of misfortune
and trial, every kind of troublo had he:
but at the sound of that name the ea
dropped, and the clouds parted, and the
sunburst of eternal gladness oured Uxn
his soul. 1 havo seen a man hardened lu
Infidelity, defiant of God, full of jeer and
scoff, jocose of tho judgment day, reckless
of eternity, at the sound of that name
blanch and cower and groan and kneel and
weep and repent aud pray and believe aud
rejoice and triumph.
A MIU1ITV NAME.
Oh, it is a mighty name. Under its
power the last temple of superstition will
come down and the last Juggernaut of In
iquity will bo shattered to pieces. Tho red
horse of carnage, spoken of In apocalyptic
vision, and tho black horse of death must
come back on their haunches, while the
white horse of victory goes forth, mounted
of him who hath the moon under his ftet
and the stars of heaven for his tiara.
Mighty name! It will first make the
whole earth tremble, and then it will make
all tho nations sing. Mighty name!
Other dominions seem to be giving way;
France had to give up some of her favorite
provinces; Spain has lost a great deal of
her power: many of the thrones of the
world are being lowered; many of the
scepters of the world are lclng shortened,
but every tract distributor, every Hlble
printer, every Christian institution estab
lished spreads abroad tho mighty name of
Christ. It has already been heard under
the Chinese wall, aud In the Siberian snow
castle, and in the Brazllinu grove, and in
the eastern pagoda. That name will
swallow up kII other names. That crown
will yet cover up all other crowns. That,
empire will yet compass all dominations.
All crimes shall ceusoand ancient frauds shall
fall.
Returning Justice lift aloft her scale;
Peacoo'er the world her olive wand extend,
And white robed Innocence from heuveu de
scend. an i:;;iiui:!no name.
But 1 remark again, taking a step for
ward in this subject, that the name of
Christ Is an enduring name. You get over
iiil-it-lieu ui im-HiiiYujiirii nun uu pun wie
weeds back from the name that has nearly
faded from the tombstone, and you wish
that Walter Scott's "Old Mortality" would
come along and rechUel It so that you
might really find out what the name is.
Why, that was the namo of the greatest
man in all the town, in all the country, In
all thu statu, now almost faded from the
tombstone.
And so the greatest names of this word
either have perished or aro perishing.
Gregory VI, Sancho of Spain, Conrad I of i lieve. and he has been so good a friend to
Germany, Richard I of England, Cathe- i me, I havo a right this morning to com
line of Itussla. Those names were once i mend his friendship to all thu neonle.
mighty, and they made the earth tremble.
Who cares for them nowf None so poor as
to do them reverence. Hut the name of
Christ Is enduring forever. It will be pre
served in the world's line art. There will
be other UclHuis to sketch the Madonna,
aud other Glilrlaiidaajos to present the
baptism of Chrit, and other llrouzinos to
hhow Christ visiting the spirits In prison,
ami other Gtottos to nppul the vision with
I the Crticlfl.Nlou. It will he preserved lu
'the world's literatim.
There will be other Alexander Popes to
write the "Messiah," and other Dr. Youngs
'to eelebrate his triumph, and other Cow-
1 tiers to hlng Ills love. It will be preserved
In the world'a grand and elaborate archi
tecture, aud Protestantism shall yet have
Its Si, Mark's ami Its St. Peter's. It shall
be preserved in the world's literature, for
there will be other Paleyti to write the
. 'KvldeuccH of Christianity." More than
all, It will bo embalmed In tht hearts of
all tho good of earth and all the great ones
of heaven. Shall tho emancipated Irand
man over forget who set htm free? Shall
tho blind man ever forget tho dlvlno phy
sician who gave him sight? Shall tho lost
and wandering ever forget who brought
them homo?
Why, to make tho world forget that
name would bo to burn tip nil the Bibles
and burn down all the churches, aud then
In the spirit of universal arson go through
tho gate of heaven aud put the torch toall
the temples aud mansions nnd palaces
until in the awful conflagration nil heaven
went down aud the people come out to
look upon the charred ruins; but even then
they would hear tho nnmo of Christ lu the
thunder of falling towers nnd lu the etiuli
of temple walls, and see It Interwoven Into
the flying banners of flame, anil the re
deemed of heaven would say, "Let the
temples and the palaces burn; let them
burn; wo have Jesus left." Blessed be
his glorious tintno forever. "The name
which Is above every name."
MOW WII.1. YOU ACCOST HIM?
My friends, have you made up your mind
by what namo you will accost Christ when
you sec him in heaven? Now that Is n
practical question. For you will see him,
child of God, Just ns certainly ns you sit
there nntl I stand here. By what name
havo you made up your mind to rail Chi N
when you llrst meet him lu heaven? Will
you call him "Anointed One," or "Mcssl
nh?" or will you take soino one of the
symbolic terms which you rend In your 111
bio on earth terms by which Christ un
designated? Soma day perhaps you will be wandering
among the gardens or liod on nigh, the
place abloom with eternal springtime, lu
finite luxury of Illyaudrutinndnmnrauth.
nnd perhnps you will look up Into the facr
of Christ nnd say, "My Ionl, thou art the
Hose of Sharon nnd the Lily of the Vulle .'
Some time there will bo a now soul toinr
into heaven to take its place in the (Imm
inent nnd shine as tho stars forever and
ever, and the luster of n useful life will
shine forth tremulous and Ix-nutlfiil, and
you will look up Into the face of Christ
and say, "My 1-ord, thou art a'brightei
star, the Morning Star, the Star of Jacob
the Star of the Hedecmcr."
Some day you will be walking among
the fountains that toss in the sunlight,
falling in crash of pearl nnd amethyst Into
golden and crystalline urn, and wandering
up the round banked river to tho place
where the water first tinkles its silver on
the rock, and from chalices of love you will
be drinking to honor nnd everlasting joy,
and you will look up into the face of Christ
and say, "My Lord, my lord, thou art the
Fountain of Living Water." Some day
you will he wandering among the lambs
and sheep of heaven feeding by the rock,
rejoicing In the care of him who brought
you out of the wilderness world Into the
sheepfold, aud you will look up Into his
faco aud say, "My Lord, my Iord, thou nit
tho Shepherd of the Everlasting Hills."
Till: 8UN THAT KKVKII SETS.
But there Is another name by which ym
can call him. Perhaps that will Ik- tin
name I have not mentioned yet. I imagine
that heaven Is all full. Every throne has
its king. Every harp has its harper. All
the wealth of the universe has come into
heaven. There is nothing to be added,
The song full. Tho ranks full. The man
sions all full. Heaven full. The sun will
set afire with Its splendor tho domes of the
temple, aud burnish tho golden streets into
n blaze, and be reflected back from the
solid pearl of the twelve gates, and it will
be noon In heaven. Noon on tho river.
Noon on the hills. Noon in the valleys.
High noon. And then you will look up,
gradually accustoming your vision to the
sight, shading your eyes at the llrst lest
they Imi extinguished with tho insufferable
splendor, until after awhile you can look
upon the full irradiation, and you will cry
out, "My Lord, my Lord, thou nrt tho Sim
that Never Sets."
But at this point I nm staggered with
the thought that there may bo persons in
this house for whom this name has no
charm, though it Is so easy, though it Is so
beautiful, though It Is so potent, though it
is so enduring. Oh, come today and see
whether there is anything lu Christ! I
challenge you to test with mo this morn
ing whether God Is good, and whether
Christ is precious, and whether the Holy
Ghost is omnipotent.
Come, my brother, 1 challenge you.
Come, and we will kneel at the altar of
mercy. You kneel on one side of the altar
and I will kneel on tho other side of the
altar of mercy, and we will not get up
from our knees until our sins are pardoned
and we are able to ascribe all honor to the
name you pronouncing it nnd I pronoun
cing it "tho name which is above every
name."
His worth If all tho nations know,
Suro the whole earth would lovo him too.
I pray God he may move upon this as
semblage now, that we may see him walk
ing through nil these aisles, that the Holy
Spirit may spread his wings over this au
ditory. Now Is your time for heaven. Oh,
my friends! meeting once, perhaps never
again until the books are opened, what
shall we say of this morning's service?
Havo I told you the whole truth? Have
you listened to tho whole truth? Now is
your time for heaven. Come into the king
dom. If you never had an invitation be
fore, I givo it to you now.
I do not ask what your sin has lceu or
what your wandering. That is not pert!
ueut to the question. Tho only thing is
whether you want Christ. Come in, the
farthest off. Come, the nearest by.
"Where sin abounded, grace shall much
more abound." Is there in all this august
i assemblage
a man who feels ho Is too
wicked to como? You are mistaken. Come
now. "Now Is the accepted time; now is
tho day of salvation."
NO OI.OOMY IIELKUOK.
O ye who aro young, cotno now! It Is no
gloomy religion that I preach. It will take
no luster from your eye. It will take no
color from your cheek. It will take no
spring from your step. I know what I am
talking altout. I have felt the consolation of
this grace in my own heart. It Is not a
i theory with me. I know in whom I bo-
Oh, comu into tho kingdom! Uonotsav
' you aru too bad. "I,et thu wicked forsake
, Ids way aud the unrighteous man his
thoughts." "Look unto me, all yo ends of
the earth." How Is he going to do drive
I you into the klngdomf Hu will uot do It.
If you get In at all it will Imj la-causo you
are drawn lu by his love. What does ho
sayf "Look unto me, all yo ends of the
earth." Ho was lifted up. What for? To
drlvof Nol lifted up to draw. Oh, come
now, como now into tho kingdom of our
lord Jesus!
I You have heard of that warrior of ancient
I times who went Into battle against Christ.
I He hated Christ aud he went Into battle
! lighting Christ, but In the battle he got
wounded, he wos struck by thu arrow and
I 'nil, aud as he lay with his face up to th
I sun aud the life blood was oozing away he
1 put his hand to bin heart aud took a hand
ful of blood from the wound uud held it
up toward tho sun and cried out, "Oh,
Jesus! thou hast conquered."
And If today, my hearer, struck through
by tho arrow of God's gracious Spirit, you
realize the truth of what I linvo lsen say
ing, you would surrender yourself to the
Lord who bought you, you would snyi "I
will no lunger battle against Christ's mer
cy. Lord .lesus, thou hast conquered "
Glorious name! I know not what you will
do with It; but I will tell you ono thing be
fore I stop 1 must tell It. I will tell you
ono thing hero and now, that I take hint
to Imj my Lord, my !!, my pardon, my
( trace, my comfort, my salvation, mv
lenveu. Blessed bo his glorious name for
ever. "Tho name which Is abovu every
name."
A Ntury of llr. TiOliutgr.
I heard n good story about T. Do Will

You'll never make a preacher. You w

young man did not "go home." The ir.

"trial sermon" which Student Talmtigi

text was, "Whoso glveth unto the poor

A Warning to Icn Cream Fiends,
During the scorching weather of Ju'y
and August you often rush Into an Ire
cream saloon with tho avowed Intention o!
cooling your body to at least a few degree
below the melting point. If you urn in u
great hurry you am apt to make the first
few spoonfuls of tho cooling mixture rath
cr largo. This almost immediately give
you a violent pain in the temples or snipi
where In tho region of thu eyes. Why is
this; did you ever stop to think? One win
has studied thu physiology of the case mi.v
that it Is caused In tho following nniniii r
The frozen mixture coming In contact
with the nerves of the throat (the l.'.r
yux, pharynx, etc.) temporally pnrnly-.., i
them. The sensation Instantly shoots te
the center of those nerves, which is In the
brain, but finds there a sldu connection in
tho shnH3 of the great facial nerve which
starts from in front of thu ear and extends
its branches over thu sides of thu face.
One branch of this facial nerve, ex I end
Ing across the temple, Is a "nerve of sensu
tlon," vthllu the other branches aro simply
"nerves of motion," utilized chiefly to gov
ern thu play of tho mouth. This great fa
cial nerve sidetracks the pain which pro
cecds from tho chill, throwing It out nlong
tho nerve branch which traverses thu leiii
pie, thu pain being most agonizing at the
f mints whore the nerve branches. If the
rrltation 1kj extraordinary the "rellex"
action which takes placu may cause a vin

temple, tho eye pain being simply sympu

Tho Ouelpli Fund.
King George of Hanover left to his
widow, Queen Marie, 1, 000,000 German do!
lars (K0,000), and to each of his daughter
half that huiii, that In, another 150,uU0 Im.
tween them. He directed thefto legacies to
be paid out of thu interna of tho Guelph
fund, which hud lecn in positesHlou of the
Prussian government for more than eleven
jenrs before his death. King George had
no right to dispose of any part of tho fund
except tho interest which came In during
his lifetime. The Interest amounted to
80,000 a year. So there were etiormotih
arrears when the king died. Queen Vie
torla was appointed executrix, In the hope
that through her Influence a portion of the
lost Interest might le recovered for the
king's widow and daughters.
The fiuceu w far has never lieen able to
obtain the payment of thu legacies for
Queen Marie and her daughters, but has
often endeavored most strenuously to ex
act the money from the I'russlan govern
incut. Prince Illsmnrck appears to have
expended the interest in the secret service
as fast as it came In. Loudon Cor. New
