THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER. MONDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1886. Miscellaneous. Profit for Everybody. Parker's onickept in a home is a sentinel to keep sickness out. Used discreetly it keeps the blood pure, and the stomach, liver and kidneys in working order. Coughs and colds vanish before it. It builds up the health. I sell large quantities of Parker's Tonic in my drug store. Among mv customers, a doc tor has been prescribing it for the past two rears. He was nearly dead himself, and tried every remedy known to his profession, with out any relief. After he had used four bottles of Parker's Tonic he began to grow in flesh, and the improvement in his health was abso lutely wonderful. He now recommends it to every one." J. E. Darrow.

Immense Throngs to Hear the Famous Preacher Christ's Wonderful Progress on Earth when Wealth, Education and Power were Arrayed Against Him. Brooklyn, Oct, 24. The thror.. in and around the Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sabbath mornings and evenings, are larger than at any timo daring the 17 years of Jr. Tal maje's pastorate. This morning the opening hymn was that beginning: Oh, couM I speak the matchless worth, Oh, couM I sound the glories forth That in my Saviour shine 1 The text was John, xvii., 4: "I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do." The Ilev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., said: There is a profound satisfaction in the com pletion of anything we have undertaken. We lift the capstone with exultation, while, on the other hand, there is nothing more - disap pointing than, after having toiled in a cer tain direction, to find that our time is wasted and our investment profitless. Chri.st camo to throw up a highway on which the whole world might, if it chose, mount into heaven. He did it. The foul mouthed crew wh$ at tempted to tread on him could not extinguish the sublime satisfaction which he expressed when he said, "I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do." . 'Alexander the Great was wounded, and the doctors could not medicate his wounds, and he seemed to be dying, and in his dreaqj,the sick man saw a plant with a peculiar iiawer, and he dreamed that that plant was put upon his wound, and that immediately it was cured. And Alexander, waking from his dream, told this to the physician, and the physician wan dered out until he found just the kind of plant which the sick man had described, brought it to him, and the wound was healed. Well, the human race had Ijeen hurt with the ghastliest of all wounds that of sin. It was the business of Christ to bring a balm for that wound the balm of divine restoration. In carrying this business to a successful issue the difficulties were stupendous. In many of our plans we have our friends to help us; some to draw a sketch of the plan, others to help us in the execution. But Christ fought every inch of His way against bitter hostility, and amid circumstances all calculated to depress anil defeat. In the first place, His worldly occupation was against Him. I find that He earned His livelihood by the carpenter's trade an occupation always to be highly regarded and respected. But you know, as well as I do, that in order to succeed in h.ny employment, one must give his entire time to it, and I have to declare that the fatigues of carpentry were unfavor able to the execution of a mission which re quired all mental and physical faculties. Through high, hard, dry, husky, insensate Judaism, to hew a way for a new and glori ous dispensation was a stupendous under taking that was enough to demand all the concentrated energies even of Christ. We have a great many romantic stories about what men with physical toil have accom plished in intellectual departments; but you know that after a man has been toiling all day with adze and saw and hammer, plane and ax, about all he can do is to rest. A weary body is an unfavorable adjunct to a toiling mind. You whose upbuilding of a kingdom, or the proclamation of a new code of morals, or the starting of a revolution which should upturn all nations, could get some idea of the incoherence of Christ's' worldly occupation with His. heavenly mis sion. In his father's shop no more intercourse was necessary than is ordinarily necessary in bargaining with men that have work to do; yet Christ, with hands hard from touch of tools of trade, was called forth to become a public speaker, to preach in the face of mobs, while some wept, and some shook their fists, and some gnashed upon him with their teeth, and many wanted Him out of the way. To address orderly and respectful assem blages is not so easy as it may seem, but it requires more energy, and more force, and more concentration to address an exasper ated mob. The village of Nazareth heard the pounding of His hammer, but all the wide readies of eternity were to hear the stroke of His spiritual upbuilding. So, also, His habits of dress and of diet were against Him. The mighty men of Christ's time did not appear in apparel without trinkets and adornments. None of the Caesars would have appeared in citizen's apparel. Yet here was a man, here was a pretended king, who always wore the same coat. In deed it was far from shabby, for after he had worn it a long while the gamblers thought it worth raffling about; but still it was far from being an imperial robe. It was a coat that any ordinary man might have worn on any ordinary occasion. Neither was there any pretention in His diet. No cup bearer with golden chalice brought Him wine to drink. On the seashore He ate fish, first having broiled it Himself. No one fetched Him water to drink, but bend ing over the well in Samaria He begged a drink. He sat at only one banquet, and that not at all sumptuous, for, to relieve the awkwardness of the frost, one of the guests hail to prepare wine for the company. Other kings ride in a Chariot; He .walked. Other kings, as they advance, have heralds ahead, and applauding subjects behind; Christ's retinue was made up of sunburned fishermen. Other kings feleep under em broidered canopy; this one on a shelterless hilk- Riding but once, as far as I now re member on a colt, and that borrowed. Again, His poverty was against Him. It re quires money to build great enterprises. Men of means are afraid of a penniless projector, lest a loan be demanded. It requires money to print books, to build institutions, to pay instructors. No wonder the wise men of Christ's time laughed at this penniless Christ. "Why," they said, "who is to pay for this new religion? Who is to charter the ships to carry the missionaries? Who is to pay the salaries of the teachers? Shall wealthy Judaism te discomfited by a penniless Christ?" The consequence was that most of the people that followed Christ had nothing to lose. Wealthy Joseph of Arimathea buried Christ, but he risked no social position in doing that. It is always safe to bury a dead man. Zaccheus risked no wealth or social position in following Christ, but took a posi tion in a tree to look down as He passed. Nicodemus,. wealthy Nicodemus, risked noth ing of social position in following Christ, for he skulked by night to find Him. All this was against Christ. So the fact that He was not regularly graduated was against him. If a man comes with the diplomas of colleges and schools and theologi cal seminaries, and he has been through for eign travel, the world is disposed to listen. There was a man who had graduated at no college, had not in any academy by ordinary means learned the alphabet of the language he spoke, and yet he proposed to talk, to in struct in subjects which had confounded the mightiest intellects. John says: "The Jews marveled, saying, how hath this man letters, having never learned?" We in our day have found out that a man without a diploma may know as much as a man with one, and that a college cannot transform a sluggard into a philosopher or a theological seminary teach a man to preach. An empty head after the laying on of hands of the presbytery " empty still. But it shocked all existing prejudices in those olden times for a man with no scholastic pretension and no graduation from a learned institution to set himself up for a teacher. It was aU against him. So also the brevity of his life was against Him. Ho had not come to what we call mid life. But very few men do anything before 33 years of age, and yet that was the point at which Christ's life terminated. The first fifteen you take in nursery and school. Then it will take you at least six years to get into ,,r nr nmfession. That will j Li v,uicvwa w- 4 bring you to 21 years. Then it will take you ten years, at least, to get established in your life work, correcting the mistakes you have made. If any man, at 33 years of age gets fully established in his life work he is the ex ception. Yet that is the point at which Christ's life terminated. lien in military life have done their most wonderful deeds before 33 years of age. There may be exceptions to it, but the most won derful exploits in military prowess have oc curred before 33 years of age. But as a legis lator no man becomes eminent as a legisla tor until he has had long years of experience. And yet the gray bearded scriljes were ex pected to bow down in silence before this young leis!-tor. who arrairjr.ed sanhedrims and accused governments. Aristotle v.-;:s old; Lycm-rus was old; Seneca was oM. The great legators of the world have leen old. Christ was young. All this was against him. If a child. V2 years of age, should get up in your presence to dis cuss great questions of metaphysics, or ethics, or politics, or government you would not be more contemptuous than these graybearded scribes in the presence of this young Christ. Popular opinion declared in those days, "Blessed is the merchant who has a castle down on the banks of Lake Tiberias." This young man said, "Blessed are the poor." Popu lar opinion said in those days, "Blessed are those who live amid statuary, and fountains, and gardens, and congratulations, and all kinds of festivity." This young man responded, "Blessed are'they that mourn." Public opin ion in those days said, "Elessed is the Roman eagle, the flap of whose wings startles nations, and the plunge of whose iron beak inflicts cruelty upon its enemies." This young man responded, "Blessed are the merciful." Popu lar opinion said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."' In otlier words, if a man knocks your eye out, knock his out. If a man breaks 3'our tooth, break his. Ptetort for retort; sar casm for sarcasm; irony for irony; persecu tion for persecution : wound for wound. Christ said: "Pray for them that despiteful.' use you." They looked at his eye, it was like any other man's eye, except perhaps more speak ing. They felt his hand, made of bone and muscle and nerves and flesh, just like any other hand. Yet what bold treatment of sub jects, what supernatural demands, what strange doctrine! They felt the solid earth under them, and yet Christ said: "I bear up the pillars of this world." They looked at the moon, he said: "I will turn it into blood." They looked at the sea, he said: "I will hush it." They looked at the stars, he said: "I will shake them down like untimely figs." Did ever one so young say things so bold? It was all against Him. After the battle of Antietam, when a gen eral rode along the lines, although the sold iers were lying down exhausted, they rose with great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napoleon returned from his captivity, his first step on the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and two hundred and fifty thousand men flocked to his standard. It took three ' thousand troops to watch him in his exile. So there have been men of wonderful magnetism of person. But hear mo when I tell you of a poor young man who came up from Nazereth to produce a thrill which has never been excited by any other. Napoleon had around him the mem ories of Marengo, and Austerlitz, and Jena; but herewas a man who "had fought no bat tles, who wore no epaulettes, who brandished no sword. He had, probably, never seen a prince, or shaken hands with a nobleman. I imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man descended from high lineage is standing beside Him and says: "My father was a merchant prince, he had a castle on the leach in Galilee. Who was your father?" Christ answers: "Joseph, the carpenter." A man from Athens is stand ing there unrolling his parchment of gradua tion and says to Christ: "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers: "I never gradu ated." Aha! the idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to command the at tention of the world! As well some little fish ing village on Long Island shore attempt to arraign New York. Yet no sooner does He set His foot in the towns or cities of Judea than everything ia in commotion. The people go out on a picnic, taking only food enough for a day, yet are so fascinated with Christ that, at the risk of starving, they follow Him out intc the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat before him and says: "M3- daughter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dimness from his eyes, and says: "Lord, that njy eyes may be opened." A poor, sick, panting woman presses through the crowd and says: "I must touch the hem of His garment." Children who love their mother better than any one else struggle to get into His arms, and 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 nursery in Christendom from which He does not take one, saying: "I must have them. I will fill heaven with these; for every cedar that I plant in heaven I will have fifty white 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 back, O weeping mother! Lay it on my warm heart. Of such is the kingd'&m of heaven." Again, I remark, there was no organiza tion in ifis behalf f and that was against Him. When men propose any great work they band together, thoy write letters of agreement, they take oaths of fealty; and the more and com plete the organization the more and complete the success. Here was one who went forth without any organization and alone. If men had a mind to join in His company all right; if they had a mind not to join in His com pany all well. If they came they were greeted with no loud salutation; if they went away they were sent with no bitter anathema. Peter departed, and Christ turned and looked at him. That was all ! All this was against Him. Did any one. ever undertake such an enterprise amidst such infinite embarrassments and by such modes? And yet I am here to say it ended in a complete triumph. Notwithstanding His worldly occupation, His poverty, His plain face, his unpretending garb, the fact that1 He was schoolless, the fact that He had a brief life, the fact that He was not accompanied by any visible organization notwithstand ing all that, in an exhilaration which shall be prolonged in everlasting chorals: "I have fin ished the work Thou gavest me to do." See Him victorious over the forces of na ture. The sea is a crystal sepulchre. It swal lowed the Central America, the President, the Spanish armada as easily as any fly that ever floated on it. The inland laJies are fully as terrible in their wrath. Recent travelers tell us that Galilee, when aroused in a storm, is overwhelming; and yet that sen crouch-5 m His presence, and licked his feet. He knew all the waves- and the wind. W hen he beckoned, they came. When he frowned, they fled. The heel of His foot made no in dentation on tho solidifical water. Medical science has wrought great changes in rheu matic limbs and diseased blood, but wh n the muscles are entirely withered, no human power can restore them, and when a limb is once dead it is dead. But here is a paralytic his hand lifeless. Christ says to him: "Stretch forth thy hand," and he stretches it forth. In the eye infirmary, how many diseases of that delicate organ have been cured? But Jesus says to one blind: "Be open," and the light of heaven rushes through gates that have never before been opened. The frost or an ax 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 wine gave out, could change a pail of water into a cask of wine? - What human voice could command a school of fish? Yet here is a voice that marshals the scaly tribes, until, in a place where they had let down the net and pulled it up with no fish in it, they let it down again, and the dis ciples lay hold and begin to pull, when, by reason of the multitude of fish, the net broke. Nature is His servant. The flowers He twisted them into His sermons; the winds they were His lullaby when He slept in the boat; the rain it hung glitteringly on the thick foliage of the parables; the star of .Bethlehem it sang a Christmas carol over His birth; the rocks they beat a dirge at His death. Behold His victory over the gravel. The hinges of the family vault become very rusty, because they are never opened except to take another in. There is a knob on the outside of the door of the sepulchre, but none on tho inside. Here comes the conqueror of death. He enters that realm and says: "Daughter of Jairus, sit up;" and she sits up. To Laz arus: "Come forth," and he came forth. To the widow's son He said: "Get up from that bier;" and he goes home with his mother. Then Jesus snatched up the keys of death and hung them to His girdle, and cried until all the graveyards of the earth heard him: "O death! I will le thy plague! O grave! 1 will be thy destruction!" No man could go through all the obstacles I have described, you say, without having a nature adjoined that was supernatural. That arm amid its muscles, and nerves, and bones were intertwisted the energies of omnipo tence. In the syllables of that voice there was the emphasis of the eternal God. That foot that walked the deck of the ship in Gennesa ret shall stamp kingdoms of darkness into demolition. This poverty-struck Christ owned Augustus, owned the Sonhedrim, owned Tibe rias, owned all the castles on its beach and all the skies that looked down into its waters; owned all the earth and all the heavens. To Him of the plain coat belonged the robes of celestial royalty. He who walked the road to Emraaus the lightnings were the fire-shod steeds to His chariot. Yet there are those who look on and see Christ turn water into wine, and they sayr Sleight of hand. And they see Christ raise the dead to life, and they say: Easily ex plained ; not really dead ; playing dead. And they see Christ giving sight to the blind man, and they say: Clairvoyant doctor. Oh! what shall they do on the day when Christ rises up in judgment, and the hills shall rock, and the trumpets shall call, peal on peal ? In the time of Theodosius . the Great there was a great assault made upon the divinity of Jesus Christ, and during that time Theo dosius the Great called his own son to sit on the throne with him, and be a copartner in the government of the empire ; and one day the old bishop came and bowed down before Theodosius the emperor, and passed out of the room, and the emperor was offended, saying to the old bishop: "Why didn't you pay the same honor to my son, who shares with me in the government?" Then tha old bishop turned to the young man and said: "The Lord bless thee, my young man," but still paid him no such honor as he had paid to the emperor. And the emperor was still offended and displeased, when the old bishop turned to Theodosius the Great and 3aid to him: "You are offended with me because I don't pay the same honor to your son. whom you have made copartner in the government of this empire, the same honor I pay to you, and yet you encourage multitudes of people in your realm to deny the Son of God equal authority, equal power with God the Father." My subject also reassures us of the fact that in all our struggles we have a sympa thizer. You cannot tell Christ anything new about hardship. I do not thitk that wide ages of eternity will take the scars from his punctured side, and his lacerated temples, and his sore hands. You will never have a burden weighing so many pounds as that burden Christ carried up the bloody hill. You will never have any suffering worse than He endured when, with tongue hot, and cracked, and inflamed, and swollen, He moaued: "I thirst." You will never be sur rounded by worse hostility than that which stood around Christ's feet, foaming, reviling, livid with rage, howling down His prayers and snuffing up the smell of blood. Oh ! ye faint hearted, oh! ye troubled, ch! ye perse cuted one, here is a heart than can sympathize with you ! Again, and lastly, I learn from all that has leen said this morning, that Christ was awfully in earnest. If it had not been a mo mentous mission he would have turned back from it disgusted and discouraged. He saw you in a captivity from whici he was re solved to extricate you, though it cost him all sweat, all tears, all blood. He came a great way to save you. He came fiom Beth lehem here, through the place of skulls, through the charnel house, through banish ment. There was not among all the ranks of celestials one being who would do as much for you. I lay his crushed heart at your feet to-day. Let it not be tol d in heaven that you de liberately put your foot on it. While it will take all the ages of eternity to celebrate Christ's triumph, I am here to make the start ling announcement that because of the re jection of this mission on the part of some of you, all that magnificent work of garden, and cross, and grave is, so far as you are concerned, a failure. Helena, the em press, went to the Holy Land to find the cross of Christ. Getting to the Holy Land there were three crosses exca vated, and the question was which of the three crosses was Christ's cross. They took a dead body, tradition says, and put it upon one of the crosses, and there was r.o life; and they took the dead body and put :t upon an other cross, and there was no life. But tra dition says when tho dead body vtas put up against the third cross it sprang into" life. The dead man lived again. Oh, that the life giving power of the Son of God mfcjht start your dead soul into an eternal life, beginning this day!
