Bev. T. DoWltt Tnlmnge, tho great
Brooklyn dlvliio, Is taking a vacation
in Europe. Tito first Sunday after his
arrival in London ho wan greeted with
nn Immenso congregation and by invita
tion qf Kcv. Joseph Barker preached in
his temple upon the subject "Tlio Ira
menu Cost" Ills toxt was from t. Cor
inthian, vl, SO: "Yo arc bought with n
price." Dr. Talmugo said:
Your friend takes you through his
vnhmblo house. You examine the
arches, tho frescoes, the grass plots, the
fish ponds, the conservatories, the parks
of deer, and you nay within yourself or
you Ray aloud: "What did all this
cost?" You seo a costly diamond flash
ing in an earring or you heor n costly
dress rustling across tho drawing room,
or you 6e a high mettled span of horses
harnessed with silver and gold, and
.you begin to mnko nn estimate of tho
value.
Tho man who owns a largo estate
cannot Instantly tell you all it is worth,
lie nayn: 'I will estimate so much for
tho house, so much for thu furniture, so
much for laying out tho grounds, so
much for tho stock, so much for tho
barn, so much for tho cqulpngo adding
up In all making this aggregate."
Well, my friends, I hear so much
-about our mansion in Heaven, about its
lurnttnre tad tho grand surroundings,
that I want to' know how much it Is all
-worth and whnt has nctuallbcon paid
for It I cannot complete in n month
xor n year tho magnificent calculation,
tmt before I get through to-day I hopo
to give you tho figures. "Yo are bought
with a price."
With soma friends I wont to your
tower to look at tho crown jewels. Wo
walked around, caught ono gllmpso of
them and being in tho procession wcro
compelled to puss out. I wish that I
could take this audlonco into tho tower
of God's mercy and strength that you
tnlght wnlk around just oncont least
and nee tho crown jewels of eternity,
behold their brilliance and estimate
their value "Yo aro bought with a
price."
Now if you havo a largo amount of
monoy to pay, you do not pay it all at
once, but you pay It by installments so
much tho first of January, so much tho
first of April, no much tho first of July,
iso much tho first of Octobor, until tho
entire amount is paid, and I havo to
"tell this audlonco that "you havo been
bought with a price," and thnt that
jn-Icc wtm paid In different Installments.
Tho first installment paid for tlio
-clearance of our souls was tho Igno
minious birth of Christ in Bethlehem.
Though wo may never bo carefully
looked after nftorward, our advent into
ttho world is carefully guarded. Wo
come Into tho world nmld kindly atten
tions. Privacy and sllcnco aro afforded
-when God launches an Immortal soul
into the world. Even tho roughest of
men know enough to stand back. Hut
I have to toll yon that In tho villago on
tho side of tho hill there was n very
bedlam of uproar when Jesus was
born. In a villago capable of accom
modating only a fow hundred popple,
many thousand people were crowded;
nndumld hostlers and mulctcors ami
enmol drivers yelling at stupid beasts
of burden tho Mosslah appeared. No
ellcnoe. No privacy. A hotter adapted
plaoo hath tho caglot in the eyrlo hath

of Heaven lloth down upon straw. Tho
first night out from tho palaco of
Heaven spent in nn nuthouse! Ono

Christ would havo mado a moro gradual

Let uW open tho door of tho caravan

that which comes through tho door."
"Whnt Mary, no food? "Nono," sho says,
'only that which was brought in tho

Idndly attentions put back tho covering

The second Installment paid for our
soul's clearance was tho scene in Quar
antanla, a mountainous region, full of
caverns, where there ureto this day
panthers and wild bcasta of all sorts, ho
that you must ro there armed with
knife or gun or pistol. It was thorn that
Jesus went to think and to pray, aud it
was i there that this monster of noil
t anorp sly, wore terrific than anything
that prowled In that country Satan

tion. A long nbstlnenco from food re
corded in profano history is that of tho
crew of tho ship Jnno; for twonty-threo
days they had nothing to cat But this
sufferer had f us ted a month and ten
days before Ho broke fast Hunger
must havo agonized every fiber of tho
body, and gnawed on tho stomach with
teeth of deoth. The thought of a mor
sel of bread or meat must have thrilled
tho body with something I Iko ferocity.'
Turn out a pack of men hungry as Christ
wasahungcrcd.andlf they had strength,
with ono yoll they would devour yon as a
lion n kid. It was in tho pangs of hun
ger thnt Jesus was accosted, and Satan
said: "Now chnngo those stones, which
look like bread, Into an actual supply
of bread." Had tho temptation como to
you and mo, under those circumstances
wo would havo cried: "Bread it shall
be!" and been utmost impatient at tho
timo taken for mastication, but Christ
with onu hand beat back tho hunger
nnd with tho other hand bent back the
monarch of darkness. O, yo tempted
ones! Christ was tempted. Wo are told
that Napoleon ordered n coat of mall
made, but lie was not quite certain that
It was impenetrable, bo ho Bald to the
manufacturer of tho coat of mall: 'Tut
it on now yourself and lot us try it,"
nnd with shot after shot from his own
pistol tho emperor found nut that it was
Just what it pretended to be a good
coat of mnll. Then tho man received n
largo reward.
I bless God that the samo coat of mnll
that struck back tho weapons of tempta
tion from tho head of Christ wo may all
wear: for Jesus comes and nays: "I
havo been tempted, nnd I know whnt
It is to bo tempted. Take this robo thnt
dofended me, and wear It for yourselves.
I shall sco you through all trials and I
shall sco you through nil temptation."
"Hut," says Satan still further to
Jesus "como and I will show you some
thing worth looking at;" and after a
half day's journey they came to Jerusa
lem, and to the top of thu temple. Just
as onu might go up in the tower of Ant
werp and look off upon Belgium, no
Satan brought Christ to the top of tho
temple. Some people at a great height
feci dizzy, and a strnngo disposition to
jump; so Satan comes to Christ in that
very crisis. Standing there at the top
of tho temple thoy looked off. A mng
nlllcent reach of country. Grain fleldn,
vineyards, ollvo groves, forest aud
streams, eattlo in tho valley, Hocks on
tho hills, and villages and cities and
realms. "Now," says Satan, "I'll make
a bargan. Just Jump off. I know It's
a great way from the top of tho temple
to tho valley, but If ffou are divine you
can fly. Jump off. It won't hurt you.
Angols will catch you. Your Father
will hold you. Beside, I'll mako you a
largo present if you will. I'll givo you
Ethiopia, I'll glvo you Italy, I'll give
you Spain, Til give you Germany, III
give you Britain, I'll give you all tho
world." What a temptation it must
have been!
Go to-morrow morning and got Into
an altercation with somo wretch crawl
ing up from a gin cellar in tho lowest
part of your city. "No," you say, "I
would not bcinean myself by getting
into such a contest" Then think of
what tho King of Heaven nnd earth en
dured when ho enme down and fought
tho grcnt wretch of hell, and fought
him in the wilderness and on top of the
temple. But I bless God that In tho
triumph over temptation Christ gives
us tho assurance that wo also shall tri
umph. Having Himself been tempted,
Ho is able to succor all those who are
tempted.
In a violent storm at sea the mate
told n boy for tho rigging had become
entangled nt tho mast to go up and
right it A gentleman standing on the
deck said: "Don't send that lwy up; ho
will bo dashed to denth." Tho mate
said: "I know what I am about" Tho
boy raised his hat in recognition of tho
order nnd then rose hand over hand and
went to work, and as ho swung In tho
storm tho passengers wrung their hands
nnd expected to seo him fall. Tho work
dono ho came down In safety, and n
christian man said to him: "Why did
you go down in tho forccnstlo boforo
you went up?' "Ahl"sald tho boy, "I
went down to pray. My mother al
ways taught me, before I undertook
anything great, to pray." "What Is
that you havo in your vest?" said tho
man. "0, that is tho Now Testamont,"
ho snld. "I thought I would carry it
with mo if I really did go overboard."
How well tho boy was protected!
I care not how great tho height or
how vast tho denth, with Christ within
us and Christ beneath us and Christ
abovo us and Christ all around us, noth
ing can befall us In the way of harm.
Christ himself having been In tho tem
pest will deliver all those who put tholr
trust in lllm. Blessed bo His glorious
name forever.
Tho third installment paid for our re
demption was tho Saviour's sham trial.
I call it a sham trial there has nover
been anything so Indecent or unfair in
any criminal court as was witnessed at
tho trial of Christ Why, they hustled
Him Into tho court room at two o'clock
in tho morning. Thoy gave Him no
time for counhol. They gave Him no
opportunity for subpoenaing witnesses.
Tho ruffians who wcro wnndoring
around through tho midnight, of course
they saw tho arrest and wont into tho
court room. But Jesus' friends wero
sober men, wcro respoctablo men, nnd
nt that hour, two o'clock in thu morn
ing, of courso thoy wero at homo asleep.
Consequently Christ entered tho court
room with tho rufHans.
Oh, look at him! No one to speak n
word for him.- -I lift the lantern until I
can look into his face, and ns my heart
beats In sympathy for this, tlio best
friend the world over had, himself now
utterly friendless, an officer of tho court
room comes up and smites him In the
mouth, and I sea the blood stealing
irom gum and up. uni it was a farce of
a trial, lasting only perhnp.1 nn Jour,
and then the Judge rises for senteno.
Stop! It Is against th Jaw to give sen
tence unless there has been an adjourn
ment of tho court between condemna
tion nnd sentence; but what cares tho
judge for tho law? "Tho man has no
friends let him die," says tho judge;
and tho ruffians outsldo tho rail cry:
"Ahal una! that's what wo want Pass
him out hero to us. Awny with him.
Away with him,"
Ot I bless God thnt amid alt tho in
justice that may have been inflicted u--on
us in this world wo havo n dlviris
sympathizer. Tho world cannot Ho
about you nor abuse you a inuoh an
thoy did Christ, and Jesus stands to-day
In every court room, in every house, in
every store, nvl says: "Courage! By
all my hours of maltreatment and abuse,
I will protect those who aro trampled
upon." And when Christ forgets thnt
two o'clock morning scene, and tho
ntroko of tho ruffian on tho mouth, and
tho howling of thu unwashed crowd,
then he will forget you nnd mo in tho
inlustlces of life that may bo Initiated
upon us.
Further I remark: Tho last irreat in
stallment paid for our redemption was
tlio demise of Christ The world line
seen many dark days. Many summers
ago there was a very dark day when tho
sun was eclipsed. Tho fowl at noon- ,
day went to their perch, as wo looked
at tho astronomical wonder. It wns a
dark day In London when the plnguo
wan nt Its height and the (lend with un
covered faces wore taken In opon carts
and dumped In tho trenches It was a i
dark day when tho earth opened nnd
Lisbon sank; but the darkest day slnco
tho creation of tho world was when tho
carnage of Calvary was enacted.
It was about noon whon tho curtain
began to bo drawn. It was not the
coming of n night that soothes and to- '
freshes; it was the swinging of a great
gloom all around tho heavens. God
hung it As whon thcro is a dead ono
in tho house you bow the shutters or
turn tho lattice, no God in tho after
noon shut tho windows of the world.
As it is appropriate to throw a black
pall upon the coffin aa it passes along,
so it wan appropriato that everything
should bo somber that day as the great
nenrso 01 tnu t-urin roiieu on, roaring
the corpso of tho King. A man's last
hours aro ordinarily kept sacred. How
over you may havo hated or caricatured
a man, whon you hear ho is dying siionco
puts its hand on your llps,andyou would
havo a loathing for a man who could
stand by a deathbed making faces and
scoffing. But Christ in His last hour
cannot bo left alone What pursuing
Him yet after no long a pursuit? You
havo been drinking Ills tears. Do you
want to drink His blood? They como
up closely, no that notwithstanding the
darkness thoy can glut their revenge
with the contortions of Ills countenance
Thoy cxamlno Uls foet Thoy want to
feel for themselves whether those foot
nro really spiked. Thoy put out their
hands and touch tho spikes and bring
them back wet with blood and wlpo
them on their garments. Women stand
thcro and weep but ean do no good. It
is no placo for tho tender hearted wo
man. It wants a heart that crime has
turned into granite.
I lift tho covering from the maltreated
Christ to lot you count the wounds and
estlmato tho cost. O! when the nails
went through Christ's right hand and
through Chslst'n left hand, that bought
both your hands with all their power to
work, and lift and write; when tho
nails went through Christ's right foot
and Christ's left foot, that bought both
your feet, with all their power to walk
or run or climb. Whon tho thorn wont
Into Christ's temple, that bought your
brain, with all Its power to think nnd
plan. When tho spenr cleft Christ's
side, that bought your heart, with all
Its powers to lovo and repent nnd pray.
O sinner, como, como back! If a man
is in no pain, if ho is prospered, if ho is
well, and ho nsks you to como, you tako
your tlmo and say: "I can't como now.
I'll como n'ftor a while. Thcro Is no
haste." But if ho is in want and trouble
yousuy: "I must go right away. I
must go now." To-day Jesus stretches
nut heforo vmi two ivnnniliwl tinnil. nnd '
--. ...............................
ho begs you to come Go and you live.
May awny and you die O, that
to him who bought us wo might

prnycrs and nil our successes. I would j
wo could think of nothing else, but j
como to unrist. lie is bo inlr. lie is ho

so good. I wish wo could put our arms

I could take this audlonco and wreathe

When tho Atlantlo cable was lost in

wo come with this gospel searching for

Naturo has dono much for Madeira,
but man, little. Its picturcsquo hills
and shady valleys, sunny climate and
incomparable flora aro all the freo gift
3f nature; but tho blight of Imbecile
Portuguc3o government is painfully
mnnifest throughout this fairy island.
It has become a colony of mendicants;
and beyond its natural attractions bo
foro mentioned, is now only famous for
Its wicker-work and diving bays, its
bullock-sleds and beggars. It is indeed
the feeding ground for the lamo and the
bait, tho mulmed and tho blind, each of
whose namo is legion and who demands
his tribute from every stranger who
touches tho land, in tones and manner
too earnest to be misunderstood. But,
notwithstanding these Bad circum

charming valleys, ita cloud-capped
mountains and the lovely vlows hero

Onco moro tho captain is on the

proach from tho sea, Is somber, sullen
and uninviting In tho extreme. The
coast presents a rampart of weather
beaten, iron bound cliffs, varying from
D00 to 9,500 foot in height. Scarco a
trace of vegetation Is visible; a line of
low surf frets at the foot of the crags,

boforo been off his "tight little islund,"
was on his way to Spain. After a week
on sldpboard, ho landed In Lisbon. Till
then, he says, ho had never appreciated
tho feeling of freedom aud joy so gen
erally attributed to "Jack on shore."
Ho recalled a scene, at which hu had
wondered at the tlmo, on. the quay of
tho repairing dock at Dover. Now ho
understood what was then, a mystery.
