Stephen had been preaching a rousing
aennon, and the people could not it and It.
They resolved to do aa men sometimes
weald like to do lo thin day, if they dared,
with aonie plain preacher of righteouaneaa
kill him. The only way to alienee thla
nan waa to knock the breath out of him.
Bo thry rushed Stephen out of the gatea of
the city, and with curse and wboop and
bellow they brought him to the cliff, aa
waa the custom when they wanted to take
way life by atoning. Marlng brought
him to the edge of the cliff, they punned
him off. After he had fallen they fame
and looked down, and aeelng that he waa
not yet dead they began to drop Htonea
Upon him, atone after atone. Amid tliia
horrible rain of missiles Stephen clambera
op on hia kneea and folda hU handa, while
Ihe blood drlpa from hia temples, and then,
looking tip, he makea two prayer, one for
himself and one for hia murderers. "Lord
Jeaua, receive tny aplrit," that waa for
hlmaelf. "Lord, lay not thla in to their
charge," that waa for hia murderers.
Then, from pain and loaa of blood, he
awooned away and fell aaleep.

Stephen Looking Into Heaven.
First look at Stephen gsslag Into heav
en. Before you tnke a leap you waBt to
know where you are going to land. He
fore you climb a ladder yon want to know
to what point the ladder reaches. And it
waa right that Stephen, within a few mo
menta of heaven, should be gazing into it
We would all do well to ba found In the
hum poature. There ia enough In heaven
to keep ua gazing. A man of large wealth
may have atatnary In the hall, and paint
ing! in the sitting room, and worka of art
la all part a of the house, but he haa the
chief plcturea in the art gallery, and there
hour after hour you walk with catalogue
and glaaa and ever Increasing admiration.
Well, heaven la the gallery where God haa
gathered the chief treaanrea of hia realm.
The whole universe ia hia palace. In thia
lower room where we atop there are many
adornments, teaaellated floor of ametbyat,
nd on the winding cloud stairs are
stretched out canvaaea on which commin
gle azure and purple and saffron and gold.
But heaven is the gallery In which the
chief glories are gathered. There are the
brightest robea. There are the richest
crowna. There are the hlgheat exhilara
tions. St. John aaya of It, "The kings of
the earth shall bring their honor and glory
Into It." And I ace the procession form
ing, and In the line come all empires, and
the stars spring up into an arch for the
boats to march under. They keep atep to
the aound of earthquake and the pitch of
avalanche from the mountains, and the
flag they bear la the flame of a consuming
world, and all heaven tnrne out with
harps and trumpets and myriad voiced ac
clamation of angelic dominions to wel
come them In, and ao the kings of the
earth bring their honor and glory Into It.
10 you wonder that good people often
stand, like Stephen, looking Into heaven?
We have many friends there.
There is not a man here ao isolated In
life but there ia aome one In heaven with
whom he once shook bands. As a man
gets older, the number of his celestial ac
quaintances very rapidly multiplies. Ws
hare not had one glimpse of them since
Ihe night we kissed them good by aid they
went away, but atill we atnnd gazing at
heaven. As when some of our friends go
across the aea we stand on the dock or on
the steam tug and watch them, and after
awhile the bulk of the vessel dianppeara,
and then there is only a patch of sail on
the sky, and soon that Is gone, and they
art all out of sight, and yef we atand look
ing In the same direction, ao when our
friends go away from us into the future
world we keep looking down through tha
Narrows and gazing and gazing aa though
ws expected that they woald come oat and
stand on aome cloud and give ns on
glimpse of their blissful and transfigured
facts.
While you long to join thalr companion
ship, and tha years and the days go with
each tedium that they break your htart,
end tha viper of pain and sorrow and be
reavement keep gnawing at four vltala,
yon will stand, liks Stephen, gaalng Into
Leaven. You wonder If they have changed
since you saw Uitm last. You wonder If
they would recognize your face now, ao
changed haa It been with trouble. Ton
woader If, amid tha myriad delights thsy
have, they car as much for you as thsy
nasd to when they gave yon a helping
hand and put their shoulders uader your
burdens. You wonder If they look any
elder, and sometimes in the evening tide,
when the house la all quiet, you wonder if
you should call them by their first same If
they would not answer, and perhaps some
times you do make the experiment, and
when no one but God aad yourself are
there you distinctly call their name and
listen and ait gazing Iota heaven.
Looking Upon Chrlel.
Pass on now and aee Stephen looking
apon Cbriat. My, text says he aaw the
Son of man at the rlgbt band ef God.
Just how Christ looked in thia world, Juat
how ha look in heaven, wa cannot any.
The painters of tb different age bare
tried to Imagine tb feature of Cbriat
and put then upon canvas, bnt w will
have to wait aaril wltb oar ewa eye w
aee bun and with oar own ear we can
hear bin. Aad yottbere I a way f -tog
him and hearing bias sow. bar to
tall yo that unless roe are aad boar
Christ en earth, yon will never aee and '
hear him ia heaven.
Look I There he to! Behold the Laasb
ofOodl Caa you net aee him T Then. pray
to Ood to take the scales off your eyes.
Look that way try to look that way. His
voice cornea down to you thia day cornea
down to tke blindest, to the deafest soul,
saying, "Look unto me, all ye ends of the
earth and be ye ssved, fur I am God, aad
there is none else." Proclamatioa of uni
versal emancipatlen for all alavea. Tell
me, ye who know most of the world's his
tory, what other king ever asked the aban
doned, and the forlorn, and tha wretched,
and the outcast te come and sit beside
him. Oh, wonderful Invitation! Yea
can take It to-day and atand at the head
of the darkest alley in all thia city, and
say; "Come! Clothes for yeur rags, salve
for your sores, a throne for your eternal
reigning." A Christ that talks like that
and acts like that and pardons like that
do you wonder that Stephen atood look
ing at him? I hope to apend eternity do
ing the aame thing. I must see him; I
must look upon that face once clouded
with my sin, but now radiant with my
pardon. I want to touch that hand that
knocked off my shackles. I want to hear
th voice that pronounced my deliverance.
Behold him, little children, for If you
live to three score years and ten you will
aee none ao fair. Behold him, ye aged
ones, for be only csn shine through the
dimness of your failing eyesight. Heboid
him, esrth. Behold him, heaven. What
a moment when all the nations of tha
aaved shsll gather around Christ, all
faces thst way, all thrones that way, gaa
lng on Jesus!
Ills worth If all the nationa knew
Sure the whole earth would love blm, too.
Stoned.
I pass on now snd look at Stephen
stoned. The world haa always wsnted to
get rid of good men. Their very life Is an
assault tion wickedness. Out with Ste
phen through the gatea of the city. Down
with him over the precipices. Let every
man come up and drop a stone upon his
bead. Hut these men did not so much
kill Stephen as thay killed themselves.
Kvery stone rebounded npon them. While
these murderers sre transfixed by the
scorn of all good men Stephen lives In the
admiration of all Christendom. Stephen
stoned, but Stephen alive. So all good
men muat be pelted, "All who will live
godly In Christ Jesus must suffer persecu
tion." It is no eulogy of a man to say that
everybody likes him. Show me any ens
who Is doing all his duty to state or
church, and I will ahow you scores of men
who utterly abhor him.
If sit men spesk well of you, It Is be
cause you are either a laggard or a dolt.
If a steamer makea rapid progress
through the waves, the water will boil
and foam all around It. Brave soldiers
of Jesus Christ will hear the carbine
click. When I see a man with a voice and
money and influence all on the right side,
and some caricature him, and aome sneer
at blm, and some denounce him, and men
who pretend to be actuated by right mo
tives conspire to cripple him, to cast him
out, to destroy him, I say, "Stephen
stoned."
When I see a man in some great moral
or religious reform battle sgainst grog
shops, exposing wickedness lu high places,
by active means trying to purify the
church snd better the world s estate, and
I find that the newspapera anthematize
him, and men, even good men, oppose him
and denounce him, because, though he
does good, he does not do it In their way,
I say "Stephen stoned." But you no
tice, my friends, thst while they assaulted
Stephen they did not succeed really In
killing htm. You may assault a good man,
but you cannot kill him. On the day of
his death, Stephen spoke before a few peo
ple in the sanhedrln; this Sabbath morn
ing he addresses all Christendom. Panl
the apostle stood on Mara hill addressing
a handful of philosophers who knew not
so much about science aa a modern school
girl. To-day he talks to all the millions of
Christendom about the wonders of Justifi
cation and the glories ef resurrection.
John Wesley was howled down by the
mob to whom he preached, and they
threw bricks at him, and they denounced
him, and they Jostled him, and they spat
upon him, and yet to-day, in all landa, he
ia admitted to be the great father of
Methodism. Booth's bullet vacated the
Presidential chair, but from that spot of
cosgulsted blood on the floor in the box
of Ford'a Theater there aprang op the
new life of a nation. Stephen atoned, hut
Stephen alive.
A Dvlaa; Prayer,
Pass on now aad see Stephen In hi dy
ing prayer. Hia Brat thought was net how
the stone hurt hi head nor what would
become of hi body. His first thought waa
about hi spirit "lord Jesua, receive my
spirit." The murderer standing en th
trapdoor, the black can being drawn ever
hi head before th execution, may grim
ace about the future, but you and I hav
no shame in coufessing some anxiety
about where we are going to ootee out.
You are not all body. There la within
yon a eoul. I aea It gleam from year eye
to-day, aad I aea It irradiating your coun
tenance. Sometimes I am abashed before
an audience, not because I corns under
your physical eyesight, bnt bees use I
realize the truth that I stand before ao
many Immortal spirits. Th probability
la that yenr body will at last find a sepul
cher in some of the cemv-terie that sur
round this city. There is no doubt bnt
thst your obsequies will be decent and re
spectful, and yon will be able to pillow
yeur head under the maple, or the Norway
spruce, or the cypres, or th blossoming
fir, but this spirit about which Stephen
prayed, what direction will that take?
What guide will escort it? What gate
will npea to receive It? What rlond will
be cleft for ita pathway? After it baa
got beyond the light of onr sun will there
be torches lighted for It the rest of the
way?
WIU the soul hare to travel through
long deserts before It reaches the good
land ? 1 f we should lose our pathway, will
there be a castle at whoa gate w may
ask tba way to the city ? Ob, thl myte
rlou plrit withla us! It ba two wing,
but It hi la a cage sew.' It la locked fast
to bp It, but let tb door of thl cg
mm tb least, and that eeal It off,
Kagte 'a wlttga could sot catch It Tb
Hgbtalag are net wlft raoogh to row
np with It When the aoal leave tb
body. It takea fifty world at a bound.
And hav I a anxiety about it? Have
yon ao anxtety about It?
I do not care what yen do with my body
whea my soul Is gone or whether you be
lieve ia cremation er inhumation. I ahatl
aleep just as well in a wrapping of sack
cloth a in satin lined with eagle's down.
But my soul before I close this discourse
I will find out where it will land. Thank
God for the Intimation of my text, that
when we die Jesus takea us. That an
swer all questions for me. What though
there were massive bars between her
and the City ef Light, Jesus could re
move them. What though there were
great Sahara of darkneaa, Jesus could
illume tbem. What though I get weary
en the way, Christ could lift me on his
omnipotent shoulder. What though there
were chasms to cross, hi hand could
transport me. Then let Stephen's prayer
be my dying litany, "Lord Jesus, receive
my spirit" It may be in that hour we
will be too feeble to aay a long prayer.
It may be in that hour we will not be able
to aay the Lord'a Prayer, for it has seven
petitions. Perhaps we may be too feeble
even to say the infant prayer our mothers
taught lis, which John Cjuincy Adams, 70
yesrs of sge, said every night when be put
his head upon bis pillow:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
We may be too feeble te employ either
of these familiar forms, but this prayer of
Stephen is so shtrt, is ao concise, la so
earnest, is s comprehensive, we surely
will be able to say that. "Lord Jesua, ro
celve my spirit." Oh, if that prayer ia an
swered, how sweet it will be to die! Thii
world Is clever enough to us. Perhaps It
baa treated ua a great deal better than we
deserved to be treated, but if on the dying
pillow there shall break the light of that
better world we shall have no mors regret
than about leaving a small, dark, damp
house for one large, beautiful and caps
oious. That dying minister in Philadel
phia some years sgo beautifully depleted
It when in the last moment he threw uf
his hands and cried out: "I move into thl
light!"
Asleep.
Pass on now, and I will show you ons
more picture, and that Is Stephen asleep.
With a pathos and simplicity peculiar te
the Scriptures, the text says of Stephen.
"He fell asleep." "Oh," you say, "what
a place that waa to sleep! A hard rock
under him, stone falling down upon him.
the blood streaming, the mob bowling
What a place it wa to sleep!" And yet
my text takea that symbol of slumber tc
describe his departure, so sweet wss It, a
contented wss It, so peaceful was it.
Stephen bad lived a very laborious life
Ills chief work had been to csre for th
poor. How many loaves of bread ha bad
distributed, how many hare feet he had
aandaled, bow many cota of slckneaa and
diatreas be had blesaed with ministries ol
kindness and love, I do not know. Yet
from the way he lived, and the way h
preached, and the way he died, I know h
was a laborious Christian. Hut that ia
0,11 over new. lie haa preased the cup to
the laat fainting lip. He haa taken th
last inault from his enemies. The last
stone to whose crushing weight he Is sus
ceptible boa been hurled. Stephen is dead'
The disciples come! They take him up'
They waah away the blood from th
wounds. They straighten out the bruised
limba. They brush back the tangled hall
from the brow, and then they pass around
to look upon the calm counteniince of him
who had lived for tha poor and died foi
the truth. Stephen asleep!
I have seen the aea driven with the hur
rlcane until the tangled foam caught iu
the rigging, and wave rising above win
aeemed aa if about to atorin the heavens,
and then I have aeen the tempeat drop,
and the waves crouch and everything be
corns smooth and burnished as though s
csmplng place for the glories of heaven.
So I have seen a man, whose life has bees
toaaed and driven, coming down at laat t
aa Infinite calm, in which there was a
kuah of heaven's lullaby. Stephen asleep!
I saw such a one. He fought all Lis
days against poverty and against abuse.
They traduced his name. They rattled at
the doorknob while he was dying witb
duns for debts he could not pay; yet tha
peace of God brooded over his pillow and
while the world faded, heaven dawned
and th deepening twilight of eartb'i
night waa only the opening twilight of
heaven' morn. Not a sigh. Not a tear.
Not a atruggle. Hush! Stephen aaleep.
I hav not tb faculty aa many have to
tell the weather. I can never tell by th
setting aun whether there will be
drought or not. I cannot tell by tb
blowing of the wind whether It will bs
fair weather or foul on the morrow. Bui I
I can prophesy, and I will prophesy, what
weather It will be when you, the Chris
Han, come to die. You may have it very
rough now. It may be this week one an
noyaace, the next another annoyance. It
may be thla year one bereavement, th
next another bereavement. But at th
laat Christ will come in and darkneaa will
go out And though there may be nc
band to close your eye and no breast, 01
which to reat your dying head, and nc
caadl to lift the night, the odors of God'i
hinging garden will regale your soul snd
at your bedside will halt the chariot of
tb king. No more rent to pay, no mori
agony because flour has gone up, no mor
struggling wltb "th world, the flesh and
the devil," but pesce long, deep, ever
lasting peace. Stephen asleep!
Asleep In Jesus, blessed sleep,
from which none ever wake to weep;
A calm ami undiaturbed repose,
Uninjured by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jeaua, far from thee
Thy kindred and thy graves may be,
But there is stilt a blessed sleep,
From which noue ever wake to weep.
