DiVIXR MAGNETISE. CHRIST REGARDED FROM UNUSUAL STANDPOINT. AN ferraon on tha Prophecy of Isaiah, "Hli Name thalt Be Wonderfnl" Dr. Talmage Denies Reports of lilm lrUaatiafaction with Uia Church. nr Weekly fterrao-.. Ir. Tabes gc, referring to re cut r"orU ta lo the i-i t ."nuic-t; of his present pastoral rekitiun, Las authorized the following UiteLueiit ; "I have denounced the infamous false hiod concerning my dissatisfaction with c;y Washiiigtou church and the statement (hut I had determined not to return there. Relations between that congregation and myself are. perfectly happy, and the church has met all its obligations to rue. Our attendance was larger last year than ever before, many more people coining thaa we could accommodate. I will le in tuy regnlar pulpit the second Sabbath in Septenilier." Iu the discourse below by Dr. Taluiage Christ in looked at from au unusual standpoint. His text is Isaiah ix., J, "His uaoie shall be called wonderful." The prophet lived in a dark time. For ome 3,'X years the world had been get ting worse. Kingdoms had arisen and ferished. As the captain of a vessel in Jistress sees relief coming across the wat er, so the piopbet, amid the stormy times in which he lived, put the telescope of pro phecy t.) his eye and saw TjO years ahead ime Jesus advancing to the rescue. I want to show that when Isaiah called Christ the Wonderful he spoke wisely. Popular Pictures of Christ. In most houses there is a picture of Christ, Sou-etirnes it represents him with face effeminate; sometimes with a face despotic. I have seen West's grand sketch (f the reception of Christ, I have seen the face of Christ as cut on an emerald, said to be by command of Tiberius Caesar, and yet I am convinced that I shall never know how Jesus looked until, on that sweet isubbath morning, I shall wash the last sleep from my eyes in the cool river of heuveu. I take up this hook of divine photographs, and I look at Luke's sketch, at Mars' s sketch, at John's sketch and at Paul's sketch, and I say, with Isaiah, "Wonderful V I think that you are all interested in the st'.ry of Christ. You feel that be is the otiiy one who can help you. You have unloundt'd admiration for the command er who ucIjhn his passengers ashore while he himself perished, but have you no ad cltration for bim who rescued our souls, liii'uself falling back into the waters from which be saved us? Christ wi;s wonderful in the magnetism at his person. After the battle of Antietamwhen a general rode along the lines, although the soldiers, were lying down exhausted, they rose with great enthusiasm and hur.zted. As Napoleon returned from his captivity his first step on the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and 250,(K men joined his standar.L It took 3,t00 troops to watch him in his exile. So there have been men ' of wonderful magnetism of person, but bear me while I tell you of a poor young man who came tip from Nazareth to pro duce a tnrill such us has never been excit ed by au oilier. Napoleon bad around him the incpiories of Austeriitz and Jena and B.-idajos, but there was a man who had fought no battles, who wore no epau kits, who fcj-andished no sword. He is no titled man of the schools, for he never went to school. He had probably never seen a prince or shaken hands with a no bleman. The only extraordinary person we know of as being iu his company was bis own mother, and she was so poor that in the most delicate and solemn hour that ever comes to a woman's soul she wus obliged to lie down amid camel drivers grooming the beasts of burden. 1 imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man de scended fiom high liueage is standing be side him, and says: "My father was a mer chant prince; He had a castle on the beach at Galilee. Who was your father?" Christ answers, "Joseph, the carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there anrolling his parchment of graduation, and says to Christ, "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I never gradu ated." Aba! The idea of such an un heralded younj. man attempting to com mand the attention of the world! As well some little fishing village on Iong Island shore attempt to arraign New York. Yet no sooner does he set foot in the towns or cities of Jndea than everything is in com motion. The people go out on a picnic, taking only food enough for the day. yet are so fascinated with Christ that at the risk of starving they follow bim out into the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat I of ore him, nud says. ".My daughter hi dead." A beggar tries to rub the dim e from hi eyes, ami says. "Lord, that my eyes may be opened." A pwr, sick, panting woman, pressing through the crowd, say, "I must touch the hem of his garment." Children, who love their mother better than any one else, struggle i get into his arms, ami to kiss his cheek, and to run their fingers through his hair, and for all time putting Jesus so in love with the little ones that there is hardly a aursery in Christendom from which he does not takcdne. anyjiig: "I must have them. I will till heaven with these, for very ccd:.r that I plant in heaven I will hare 50 wbitt lilies. In the hour when I was a poor man in Judea they were not ashamed of me, and now that I have come to a throne I do not despise them. Hold it not hack, oh, weeping mother! Lay it wi my warm heart Of such is the king dom of hcavm." WJuit is this coming down the road? A triumphal procession. He is seated not la a chariot, but on an ass, and yet the people take off their coats and thrrtw them In the way. Oh, what a time Jesus made among the children, among the beggars, anionic the fishermen, among the philoso pher! Yon may boast of elf-eoutrol, but if you had eeu him you would hare put 7rr anna around his neck and said, "Thon art altogether lovely." Apparent I acoaalateaclea.

Kgypt? hy not stand his ground? Why, instead of beating the cross, not lift up his right hand and crush his assassins? Why stand and be spat Uhu? Why sleep ou the mountain, when he owned the pal ai-es of eternity? Why catch fish for bis breakfast on the iieach iu the chill tnoru iug. when all the inuiei.Ta nates are his. and all the iieyarvis his. and all the cat tie his, aj!d ali the partridg-s his? Why walk when weary, and his feet stone bruised, when he might have taken the splendors of the sunset for his eyuipage and moved with horses and churiots of fire? - Why beg a drink from the wayside, when out of the crvstal chalices of eter nity he jmnred the Euphrates, the Missis sippi and the Amazon, and, dipping his hand in the fountains of heaveu and shaking that baud over the world from the tips ( his fingers, dripping the great lakes and the oceans? Why let the Ro man regiment put him to death, when he might have ridden down the sky, followed by all the cavalry of heaven, mounted on white horses of eternal victory? You ciiiiuot understand. Who can? Y'ou try to confound me. I am confounded be fore you t-pcak. I'aul said it was un searchable. He went climbing up from argument to aigument, and from antithe sis to antithesis, and from glory to glory, and then sank down in exhaustion as he saw far above him other heights of divin ity unsealed and exclaimed "that in all things he might have the pre-emineuce." Again, Christ was wonderful in his teaching., The people had been used to formalities and technicalities. Christ up set all their notions as to how preaching ought to be dene. There w as this pecu liarity aliout his preaching the is-onle knew what he meant. His illustrations w ere taken from the hen calling her chick ens together, from salt, from candles, from fishing tackle, from a hard creditor collaring a debtor. How few pulpits of this day would have allowed him en trance! He would have been called un dignified and familiar in his style of preaching, and yet the people went to hear him. 'Those old Jewish rabbis might have preached on the side of Olivet fifty years and never got an audience. The philoso phers sneered at his ministrations, and said, "This will never do!" The lawyers caricatured, tut the common people heard him gljdly. Supijse you that there were any sleepy people in his audience? Sup pose you that any woman who ever mixed bread was ignorant of what he meant w hen he cou.pnred the kingdom of heaven with leaven or yeast? Suppose you that the sunburned, fisherman, wjth the fish scales upon their hands, were listless when he spoke of the kingdom of heaven as a net? We spend three years in col lege studying ancient mythology and three years in the theological seminary learning bow to make a sermon, anil then we go out to save the world, and if we cannot do it according to Claude's "Ser monizing," or Hlair's "Rhetoric," or Karnes' "Criticism," we will let the world go to pvrditioa. If we save nothing else. we will save Claude and Blair. We see a w reck in sight. We must go out and save the crew aud passengers. We wait until we get on our fine cap and coat, and find our shining oars, and then we push out methodically and scientifically while some plain shoresman in rough fishing smack and with broken oarlock goes out and gets the crew and passengers nd brings them axhore in safety. We throw down our del icate ours anil my: "What a ridiculous thing to save men in that way! You ought to have done it scientifically and beauti fully." "Ah!" says the shoresman,' "if those sufferers had waited until you got out your fine b' ats, they would have gone to the bottom." The work of a religious teacher is to save men", and though every law of gram mar should le snapped in the undertak ing, and there be nothing but awkward ness and blundering in the mode, all hail to the man who saves a soul. ChrUtN Sympathy. Christ, in his preaching, was plain, earn est and wonderfully sympathetic, ye cannot dragoon men into heaven. We cannot drive them in with the butt end of a catechism. We waste onr time in try ing to riitcb Hies with acids 'instead of the swee t honeycomb of the gospel. We try to make crab apples do the work of ixiinegranates. Again, Jesus was wonderful in hix so- rows. The Bun snute him and the coll chilled him aud hunger exbauMcd him. Shall I compare his sorrow to the sia? No, for that is sometimes bushed into a calm. Shall I com pa ."e it with tho night? No, for that sometimes gleams with t Hon, or kindles with Aurora. If. one thorn should lie thrust through your temple, you would faint, but here is a whole crown made from the rhamiiiH or spina Christi small, sharp, stinging thorns. 'J lie mob makes a cross.

Those feet, that have been going about on min istrations of nieny baiteied yga:usi the cross. Theu they lift it up. Iook, look, look! Who will help him now,' Come, men of Jerusalem, ye whose dead he brought to life, ye whose sick he healed, who will help him. who will seize the weapons of the soldiers? None to help! Having carried such a cross for us. shall we ref'i' to take our cross for him? Shall Jesus bear the cross alone And nil fhe world go free? No;. there's a cross for every one, . And tlera'a a cross for me. You know the process of ingrafting. You bore a l.ole into a tree and put in the branch of another tree. This tree of the cross was hard and rough, but into the hides when the nails went there have been grifted branches of the tree of life that now bear fruit for nil nations. The original tree was bitter, but the branches ingrafted were sweet, aud now all the na tions pi in-k the fruit and live forever. Agiiin, Christ was wonderful in his vic tories. .

I'ut Jesus t-u) to one born blind, "lie open!" end the light of heaveu rushes through gates that have never liefore been opened. The frost or an axe may kill a tree, but Jesus smites one dead with a word. Chemistry can do many wonderful things, but what chemist at a wedding when the refreshment gave out could change a pail of water into a cask of wine? What bun'.LU voice could command a school of fish? Yet here is a voice that marshal the scaly trities, until in the place where they had let down the net and pulled it np with no fish in it they let it down ag.iin, and the disciple lay hold aud begin to pull, w hen, by reason of the mul titude of fish, the net broke. Nature is his servant. The flower, he twisted them into his sermons; the winds, they were his lullaby w hen he slept in the boat; the ruin, it hung glittering on the thick foliage of the parables; the Star of Itethleheni, it sang a Christmas carol over his birth; the rocks, they beat a dirge at his death. . Victorr Over the Grave. Behold hi victory over the grave! The hinges of the family vault become very rusty bemuse they are never otieued ex cept to take another in. There is a knob on the ouiside of the sepulcher, but none on the inside. Here comes the Comiuerer of Death. He niters that realm and savs. "Daughter of Jairus, sit up," and she sat up. To Lazarus, "Come forth," and he came fo.-?h. To the widow'a son be said. Get up from that bier," and he goes home with his mother. Then Jeu snatch ed up the Icy of death anil hung them to his girdle and cried until all the grave yards of the earth heard him: "O death, 1 will be thy plague! O grave, I will be thy destruction!" But Christ's victories have only just be gun. This world is his, and he must have it. What is the matter in this country? Why all these financial troubles? There never will he ermnnt'nt prosperity In this land until Christ rules it. This land was discoveris! for Christ, and until our citie shall be evangelized and north, south, east and west shal. acknowledge Christ as King and Redeemer we cannot have per manent prosperity. t hat is the matter with Spain, with France, with all of the nations? All the congress of the na tions cannot bring quiet. When govern ment not nly theoretically but practical ly acknowli-dge the Saviour of the world, there will be ince everywhere, la that ' day the sen w ill have more ships than now, but then will not be one "man-of-war." The foundries of the world will jar with mi'-'Mier industries, but there will be no niold'ng of bullets. Printing press.- will fly their cylinders with greater sieed. but there shall go forth no iniquitous trash. In bins, in constitution, on ex change, in scientific laboratory, on earth as in beiven, Christ shall be called Won- rful. Ix-t that work of the world's re generation begin in your heart, O hearer! A Jesus so kind, a Jenus so good, a Jesus so lovirg! How can you help but love him? It ia beautiful moment when two per sons who have pledged each other heart and hand stand in church and have the bnuus of marriage proclaimed. Father and mother, brothers aud sisters stand around the altar. The minister of Jesus gives the counsel, the ring is set, earth and heaven witness it, the organ sounds, and amid many congratulations they start out on the path of life together. Ob, that this might be your marriage day! Stand up, immortal soul! Thy Beloved come to get his In frothed. Jesus stretches forth bis hand and says, "I will love thee with an everlccting love," and you respond. "My I'elineit is mine, and I am hi." I put your hand in his. Henceforth le one. No trouble shall part you, no time cool your love. Side by side on earth, side by side in heaven. Now let the blossoms of heavenly gardens fill the house with their redolence aud all the organ of God ieal forth the wedding march etf eternity. Hark! "The voice of my beloved!
