In continuing his sermons, while abroad llev. T.

Dr. Tnl mage said: It Is impossible to come in contact with anything grand or beautiful In nrt, nature or religion without being profited and elevated.

"Wp go into the concert of music and are alftcd Into enchantment; for days nftcr out soul seems to roclc with a very tu mult of joy, as the sea. after u long stress of weather, rolls nnd rocks and urges a great while before it comes baclt to Its ordinary calm. On the same principle It Is profitable to think of Heaven, and look off upon that Inndscupu of Joy and light which fc't John deplete; the rivers of gladness, tlio trees of life, the thrones of power, tho commlngllngs of everlasting love. I wish this morning I could bring Ilehven from the list of Intangibles and mtiko It seem to you as it really is tho great fact in all history, the depot of nil ages, the parlor of God's universe. Tliis account in ray text gives a pict ure of I leaven as it is on a holiday. 2s'qw if a mau cume to New York for tho first time on tho day that Kossuth arrived from Hungary, and saw the nrehes lifted, and the llnwers Hung In the streets, and ho heard the guns booming, he would have been very fool ish to suppose that that was tho ordi nary nppunraueo of the city. While Ileuven is always grand und always beautiful, I think my text speaks of a gala day in Heaven. It Is a time of grent celebration per haps of tho birth or resurrection of Jesus; perhaps of the downfall of some despotism; perhaps because of the rush ing in of tin millennium. 1 know not -what, but it docs seem to me In rending cthls passage as If' it were a holiday in ileuven; "after this 1 beheld, and, In, n great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, nnd people, nnd tongues, stood before tlio throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes nnd palms in their hands, and cried with a loud voice, isaylng: 'Salvation to our God, which islttcth upon tlio throne, and unto the Lamb.'", 1 shall speak to you of the glorified in Jiouven their number, their anteced ents, their dress, their symbols nnd their songs. Hut how shall I begin by telling you of the numbers of those In Heaven? I have scon a curious esti mate by an ingenious man, who calcu lates how long tho world wns going to last, and how many people there are In ouch generation, nnd then sums up tlio whole matter nnd says he thinks there will be twenty-seven millions of souls In glory. I have uo faith in his estimate. I simply talto the plain announcement of the text It Is "a great multitude, which no man cun number." livery few years in this country we tnko a census of tho population, nnd it is very easy to toll how many people there are In a city or nation, llut who ohall give the census of the great nation of the saved? It Is quite easy to toll how muny pcoplo there are in the dif ferent denominations of Christians how many IlapllsU, and Methodists, nnd Episcopalians, nnd Presbyterians. Of nil tho denominations of Christians we could make an estimate. Sunnose they were gathered in one great audi onco room; how overwhelming tho spec tacle! llut it would give no idea of tho yretit nudlenco room of Heaven tho multitudes that bow dowu und lift up tholr hosannns. Why, they come from all the chapels, from nil the cathedrals, from nil sects, from all ages; they who pruyed in splendid liturgy, aud those who in broken sentences uttered the wish of broken hearts from Grace church und Sailor's bethel, from under tho tihnpeless rafters and from under high sprung ajroh "a great multitude that no man can number." Ono of the most impressive things I liavo looked upon Is an army. Stand ing upon a hillside you see forty thous nnd or fifty thousand men pass along. You can hardly Imagine thu impression If yon have not uctuully felt it Hut you muy take all tho armies that the earth has evor seen the legions under Sennacherib and Cyrus and Ciusar, Xerxes nnd Alexander und Napoleon, und all our modern forces und put them In ono great array, and then on some hwlft steed you may rldo along tho line mid review tho troops; und that accumu lated host from nil ages seems like u half formed regiment compared .with the great array of the redeemed. I stood one day at Willlamsport nnd buw on the opposite side of thu Poto mac the forces coming down, regiment after regiment and brigade after brig- nde. It seemed us though Micro was uo ond to tho procession, llut now let nut take tho field glass of St. John and look oil. upon tho hosts of Heaven thous ands upon thousands, 10,000 times 10, 000, 144,000 and thousindsof thousands, unMl I put down the field glass nudsuy, "I cannot estimate it u great multl tudo that no man can number," You may tax your Imagination and torture your Ingenuity nnd break dowu vonr nowcrs of calculation In attempt- hitr to discuss tho multitudes of tho re-- leased from earth nnd the unruptured of hundreds of hundreds of hundreds, of thousands of thousands of thousands, of millions of millions of millions until your head aches anil your heart faint, nnd e.xhnustcd and overburdened you exclaim! "I cannot count them a great multitude that no man can num ber." Hut my subject advances and tells you of their antecedents, "of all nations nnd kindreds nnd tongues," Somo of them npoko Scotch, Irish, German, English, Italian, Spanish, Tamil, Choctaw, Itur meso. After men have been long in tlio laud you can tell by their accentuation from what nationality they came: and I suppose In tho great throng around tho throne it will not bo difficult to tell from what part of tho earth they came. Theso reaped Sicilian whcntllclds nnd those picked cotton from thu pods. These under blistering skies gathered tnmarlnds nnd ynms. Those crossed thu desert on camels, nnd those glanced over tho snow, drawn by Siberian dogs', and theso milked tho goats far up on tho Swiss crags. Theso fought thu wal rus and white bear iu regions of ever lasting snow, nnd those heard tho song of tlery winged birds, in African thick ets. They were white. They were black. They were red. They were copper color. From all lands, from till ages. They were plunged Into Austrian dungeons. They passed through Span ish inquisitions. Thoy were rontlneu In London tower. They fought with Iwasts In the amphitheater. Thoy were Moravians. Thoy wcro Wnldensos. They wero Alblgonsos. They were Scotch Covenanters Thoy wero Sand wich Islanders. Iu this world men prefer different klndsof government. The United States wunt u republic. The Krltlsh govern ment needs to bo a constitutional mon archy. Austria wants absolutism. llut when they come up from earth from different nationalities, thoy will prefer one great monarchy King Jesus ruler over It And If that monarchy wero disbanded, nnd it were submitted to all the hosts of Heaven who should rulo them, then by tho unanimous suffrages of all the redeemed Christ would lye come tho president of tho whole uni verse. Magna Chartas, bills of right, houses of burgesses, triumvirates, con gresses, parliaments nothing in tho presenco of Christ's scepter, swaying over nil tho people who havo entered upon that great glory. Ot can you Im agine It? What a strange commingling of tastes, of histories, of nationalities '!of all nations nnd kindreds and people and tongues." My subject ndvances and tells you of tho dress of those iu Heaven. Tho ob ject of dress in this world Is not only to veil the body, but to ndorn It The God who dresses up tho spring jnornlng with bluo ribbon of sky around the brow, nnd earrings of dowdrops hung from tree brunch, und man tie. of crim son cloud Hung over tho shoulder, nnd the vloleted slippers of tho grass for her feet I know that God does not de spise beautiful npparcl. Well, what shall we wear in Heaven? "I haw a great multitude clothed In white robes." It Is white! In this world we had sometimes to have on working ap parel, llrlght nnd lustrous garments would bo ridiculously out of place sweltering amid forges, or mixing paints, or plastering ceilings or binding books. Iu this world "we must, havo the working day uppurel sometimes, und wo care not how cn.irsn It Is. It Is ap propriate: but when all tho toll of earth Is past and there Is no moro drudgery and no more wenriuess, wo shall stand before the throne robed In white. On earth we sometimes hud to wear mourn ing upparul blank searf for the arm, black vail for thu face, blank gloves for thu hands, black band for tho hat. Abraham mourning for Sarah; Isatie mourning for Rebecca; Rachel mourn ing for her children; David mourning for Absolem; Mary mourning for Lazarus. Every second of every minute of overy hour ofovery duy u heart breaks. The earth from zone to zone and from polo to polo Is cleft with, sepulchral rent, and tho earth can easily afford to bloom and blossom when It Is so rich with moldering life. Urn vest graves! gruvesl lint when theso boroaveme.Us have all passed nnd there ure no more graves to dig nnd no more cofllns to make and no moro sorrow to suffer we shall null off this mourning und bo robed In white. 1 see" n soul going 1 1f;ht up from this scene of sin nnd trouble Into glory. I seem to hear him say: I Journey forth rrtJolrlnR From Mil lurk vitln ot tears, To hfftvnnlv 1Y wul freedom, From e.irlbly cire and feurs. When Christ mv !.ord shall Gather All lil i rcitfpiwnl italn, Ills Uliuitom to Inherit Couil night till then.

Ills Itlnk'dom to Inherit (lood nljlit till then My subject advances and tolls you of tho symbols thoy carry. If my text had represented thu good In Heaven as car rying cypress branches that would have meant sorrow. If my text had represented the good In Heaven as car rying nightshade th.it would have meant sin. llut it is a palm branch they carry, and that is victory. When the people came home from war in olden times the conquerer rode at the head of his troops und there wero triumphal arches and the people would come out with brunches of the palm tree und wave them till ulong thu host, What it significant type this of the greeting and of the Joy of tho redeemed In Heaven! On earth they were condemned and wcro put out of polite circles. They had infamous hands strike them oil both cheeks. Infernal spito spat In their faces. Thulr bte.k ached with sorrow. Their brow reeled with mini lcvlated toll, How weary thoy were! Sometimes they broke thu heart ot lite midnight In the midst of all their an guish, crying outt "O Godl" Hut hark now to tho shout of thu delivered cap tives, us they lift their arms from tho shackles und they cry out: "Free! Freel" They look back upon all tho trials battles thoy havo fought,- the burdens they cArrld, tho misrepresentations thoyuffered, nnd because they nro de livered from all these. thoy stand before God waving tholr palms. They como Cincinnati to. the feet of Christ and thoy look up Into his face, and thoy remember his sorrows, nnd they romomber his pain, and thoy rcmomfcor his groans, nnd they say: "Why, I was hayed by that Christ Ho pardoned my sins. Ho Boothcd my sorrows;" nnd standing there they shall bo exultant, waving their palms. That hand onco held tho Implement of toll or' wielded tho sword of war; but now It plucks down branches from tho tree of life as they stand before tho throne wnvlng their palms. Onco he was n pilgrim on enrth; ho crunched the html crusts ho walked tho weary way: but it Is all gone now, the sin gonu, tlio weariness gone, the sickness gone, tho sorrow gone. As Christ stands up before the great array of tho saved and recounts Ills victories, it will bo like clio rocking nnd tossing of u forest In h tempest, as nil thu redeemed riso up. host beyond host, rank boyond rank, waving, wnvlng their palms. My subject makes another ndvnncc ment nnd speaks of the songs they sing. Dr. Dick, In a very learned work, says that among other things In Heaven ho thinks they will give n great deal of time to the study of arithmetic nnd tho higher branches of mathematics. I do not believe It It would upset my idea of Heaven If I thought so; I never liked mathematics; and I would rather take the representation of my text, which describes the occupation of Heaven us being joyful psalmody. "Thoy cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation un to our God." In this world wo havo secular songs, nursery songs, boatmen's songs, harvest songs, sentimental songs) but in Heaven wo will havo tasto only for one song, nnd that will bo tho song of salvation from an etcrnnl death to nn eternal heaven, through tho blood of the Lumb that was slain. In this world wo havo plaintive songs songs tremulous with sorrow, songs dlrgoful for tho dead, but in Heaven there will bo no sighing of winds, no wnlllng of anguish, no weeping sym phony. The tamest song will bo tho hallelujah tho dullest tune a tri umphal march. Joy among the oher ublml Joy among the seraphim! Joy nmong the ransomed! Joy foreverl On enrth tho music, in churches is often poor, became there Is no Interest In It or because there Is no harmony. Some would not sing; sotno could not sing; some sang too high; somo snng too low; somo sang by fits and starts; but In the great nudlenco of the re deemed on high all voices will bo nt cordant. nnd tho man who on earth could not tell n plantation melody from the "Dead March In Saul" will lift nn nuthe'm that tho Mendelssohns und Hcethovons nnd the Schumanns of earth never Imagined; and you may stand through nil eternity und listen, nnd there will not be ono discord In that great anthem that forever rolls up ngalnst tho heart of God. It will not be a solo; it will not ba n duet; It will not be n quintette; but an Innnmurablo host before the throne, crying, "Salva tion unto our God and unto tho Lamb." They crowd all tho temples; they bond over tho battlements; they fill nil tho heights and depths nnd lengths and breadths of Heaven with their hosan nas. When the people were taken Into tho temple of Diana It wsis such u brilliant room that they wero always put on their guard. Somo people had lost their sight by just looking on tho bril liancy of that room, und so tho janitor when lie brought u stranger to tho door and let him in would ulwuys charge him, "Take heed of your eyes." )1 when I think of the song that goes up around the throno of God. so jubi lant, many voiced, multitudinous, I feel like haying, "Take heed of your cars." It is so' loud a song. It is so blessed an anthem. They sing n rock song, say ing "Who Is Ho that sheltered us In the wilderness, andshudowedusin n weary land? And tho chorus comes In: "Christ, tho shadow of a rock In a weary land." Thev slnir n star song, saying, "Who Is He that guided us through tho thick night, and when all other lights went out, urosu In tho sky the morning star, pouring light on tho soul's darkness?" And tho chorus will como In: "Christ, tho morning star, shining on tho soul's darkness." Thoy will sing a flower song, saying: "Who Is Ho that bright ened all our way und breathed sweet ness upon our soul nnd bloomed through frost nnd tempest?" und thu chorus will come In, "Christ, the Illy of tho valley, blooming through frost nnd tempest Thev slnir n water song, saving: "Who Is Ho that gleamed to us from tho frowning crag und lightened tho dark ravlno of trouble and brought cooling to tho temples aud refreshment to tho lip, nnd was n fountain in tho midst of the wilderness?" nnd then the chorus will como In: "Christ tho fountain In tho midst of tho wilder ness."

The exact amount of money socurcd by tho robbers Is not known. Tho robbers made good their escape. Tho truln was hold up at tho tauk just south of Adair, and when tho en gineer attempted to step on tho foot board, he was confronted by two men with drawn revolvers and told to re main quiet or he would havo his brains blown out There wcro six men in the gang, nnd two remained to guard tho engineer and fireman whllo tho others wutehed tho truln and broko Into tho express cnr.
