DR TMAGE'S SERMON. AGAINST ALL ODDS. faxt: “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.”—John xvii, 4. There is a profound >atisfaction in the completion of any uodeitaking. We put up the capstone with exhilaration, while on the other haDd tbore is noth.ng more dis bearteniug thau to toil on in some direction and And it is a ia lure, or to make a profit less investment. Christ came to build a highway ou which the whole human race might, if they chose, mouDt into heaven. He did iu All the loul mouthed crew who trod on Him could not hinder him from the sublime satisfaction expressed in the text: **l have finished the work which thou gavest roe to do.” Alexander the Great was wounded, aud it was supposed that he was dying* and the ph3'sic ans were powerless. But in h s dream Ale .ander thought he aw a certain plant with a very peculiar dower, and that the flower w ;s brought and put upon his wound and it entirely cured him. A waning from Ms sick dream he told his doctor, and the 4 jysician sent out to find the flower that Alexander had described, ami he found the peculiar plant and the peculiar blossom, aud nc brought them home and he put thorn upon the wound, aud A.exander recovered. Well, the h . man race was suffering with the worst of all wounds, the ghastliest of all w unds. ihe wound of sin. Christ comes to bring a bal-am for divine restoration. He brou,. ht it, but in the application of it, oh, how many obstacles He found; how much resistance; whai bitter hostilities; what tre mendous opposition. Now, when we have a great enterprise, we call our friends around us and they help us draw out the sketch, and perhaps they help us m the execution. Christ all aione started outou Hismis6i<>n with all the forces of this world against Him, and I proj>ose this morning, if the Lord Will help me, to tell you s»me of tae obstacles that Christ had to overcome before Ho could in triumph utter the words of t.ie text: “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” First of all, there wa* His worldly occupa tion. He had to earn his living by carpentry, a trade always respected and always honored for its usefulness. But you know \ ery well that in order to succeed in any trade, occu pation, or profession, there must be entire concentration opi.n teat one thing, and these fatigues of car entry were a hindrance, must have been n hinuran o to this work or Christ. I knew we read a great deal about what men have achieved in intellectual dire tions aud In moral reform, who at the same time were compelled to carry on some worldly occupa tion. But you know as well as 1 do that a fatigued body is a poor ad junct to a toiling mind. Here came Christ forth to do, what* To upbuild a kingdom, to in trod uea new code oi morals, to start a religion which was to revolutionize all na • wons. You know as well as 1 know that if we a; e going to accomplish anything in the world we must concentrate upon ouo object. Yet here Christ had ail the tatigues of car pentry, while at the same time Ho had this tremendous mission, and the la t that he had vo turn h worldly work to do must have been a n.ndran e. In His father's carpenter shop He had only to talk w*th men who brought things to mend, or who wanted some ai ticle for agriculture raanuiacture 1, and it was a worldly conversation: and right out from this carpenter’s shop Christ is called to be a pub ic speaker, to stand in the face of the mobs while some blasphemed and some sh -ok their fists at Him. To address an ord.ny and respectful assemblage is not as ta-y as s »me might sup pose, but to speak to an exas -orated mob, what courage, what concentration were de manded of Christ. While the villagers of Nazareth beard ih3 thumping of His ham mer, all nations were to bear the stroke of His spiritual upbuilding. Mighty men in those times a. ways hal some thing in their apparel to indi ate that they were distinguished some epaulet, something in their robe, some adornment of apparel, so those people see ing sn han one com. ug would say: ‘‘Make way for him; here comes a dignitary, or an officer of tho government ’ None of the Cesars would have dared to appear in ordi nary citizen's dress. But here comes Christ in a plain coat It was far irom shabby be cause I find that aftor Ho had worn it a great while even thm the gamolers thougut it worth rafing about, the question ~being whose sha 1 it be. But still it was a plain coat, just as you and I might wear, aud He went out like an ordinary man, ofttimes, on what seemed an ordinary mission. Then His diet was against Him. No eupb arer brought, ;u a gold -n chalice, the wine for Him to drink, lie bieakfasted < n the seashore, first having broiled the fish, t He went out not entertained. I now think of only one case where He was a* a banquet. ! »Dd that was lar from sumptuous, because, to , relieve the awkwai kacss of tho host, one of the guesrs had to proviso some wine for tho i company. Other kings rode; He walked, i Others had herald: ahead and applauding j subjects behind: He went among tho-e who were not influential. Other kings slept un- ! der an embroidered canopy; He on a whiter- I la* hill. He rode but onc« —on a colt, and that borrowed Aye, His poverty was against him. It ‘takes money to es tablish institutions; it takes money to forward revolutions, whether for good or for bad. Here is a jienni.ess Christ. When , His tax was due He had to perform amirade I in order t • pav the tax. The piece of money i frrond in the fish. Men of means arc afraid of a penniless projector Jo»t a loan be de manded of th6m. Here comes Christ with out a dollar in the world, a Christ who was I bom in another man’s barn, and to be buried ■ in another man’s sepulchre. Aud I suppose people said: ‘‘Who is to pay for this ro- j ligion- Who is to charter tho ships I that are to carry the missionaries! ■ Who is to pay the salaries of the teachers. Vvhat: pull down an established religion; Cau it be done by a penniless pro jector;” Moie than that. 1 want you to notice the fact that the consideration that He had never graduated irom any school was aga nst Him. If a man has ooirie with a diploma from a college.or a certifk ate from i a seminary or lias traveled through foreign I lanufi we sav t > ourselves: “Ho ought to know a great deal.anyhow; ho ought to have eome information.” But here was Christ, ' who had no diploma He hud not attended any a adeiny where be could have learned the alphabet of the language He spoke. The Jew.-, were sensible when they cried out: “How Lath th 8 man letters, having never learned? ’ And yet, hero,with no philosophy backing at all, He just comes out and He experts these white haired these gray bearded men who had studied theology uU their lives long to bow before him. We ha ve ■’‘yarr.ei in our dav t hnt a man may be as ig norant with a diploma as without it, aud that a college cannot, turn a sluggard into a ahilosoph r, and that a seminary cannot I teach a fool to pr< a h. An empty head after • the laying on of th;; ban Is of the Presbytery is empty si. 11. Put it choked nil the pr ju dices of those people in old>n rimaj that a man without any scholastic opportun ties should corne forth to teach a new theology and a new religion, and by itrcvol jtiouize al! nations. Beside that, my friends, vie want So notice that the brevity of His life wait against Him. You must remember thot Ha did not live to o cn what we rail mid Ufa At years of a.e he expired. Well, now, but very few men accompli*! meb for tbe church or for the world befon thirty three yearn of age. Tho first fifteec years a e given to th* nursery and the school, then perhaps six years to getting into soma trade. business or occupation. That bring* you to twenty-one. Tn**n after that if in tor jeers yoi correct all your early mistakes and g*t thoroughly established, you are the ex cept!' n. The men who are thoroughly es tablished in business, occupation, profession or trade, at thirty-three years of age, aie th« exception, and that is the tme at which Chr st quit. life. Th* brevity of ills life wai against Him. Meu in military life bav« achieved great success, and fought great l*afc tire I i«fore thirty-three years of age, but yon ■ever heard of a great legislator uuder thirty i three or at thirty three. It takes prolonged experience. Aristotle was old, Lycurgus wai j old, Seneca was old, all the great legislators of the world were old. Christ was young. It was against Him. People sad: “It cannot be this young man knows more about these things than those who have been studying them for twenty, thirty, forty an 1 even to sev enty or eighty years of age. It was all against Him. The ; e were obsta lea H 9 ha ito over come. Aye, the fact that He reversed the world’s maxims was against Him. Public theory said: “Blessed is tho merchant who owns a castle down on tho banks of the lake Balilee.” Christ said: “Blessed are the poor.” Public theory said: “Blessed is the man who has all kinds of festivity, and amid statuary, and amid all luxuries, lives and reigns. Christ said: “Blessed are they that mourn.” Public theory said: “Blessed b the Roman eagle, the flap of whose wings startles all nations, and whose cruel beak inflicts cruelty upon all who op pose. Christ said: “Blessed are thr mer-Jful.” Public theory said: “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ; if a man knocks your eye out, you kuock his out if be breaks your tooth, you break his to th; sarcasm for sarcasm, persecution for porse out on; pay a man in his own coin, wound for wound ” Christ said: “Prav for them pzho d ©spitefully use and torment you ” Was there aoytbing so revolutionary? Was there inything that struck the thrones of the world «o violently bacK. They belt tbe soi*a ea-th ander them; but Christ said: “I uphold the nillars of the earth.” They looked at the aaocn. Christ said: “I will turn it into blood.” They looked at the stars. He said: “I will shako them down like untimely tics.” Do you wonder that the world was startled ind overwhelmed? Were not all these things against him? After the bat tle of Antietam. when the soldiers were lying down, thoroughly exhausted, ana one of them told me ho did not think he could have lifted his hand to save his life, it was told that a favorite general was coming along the line, and he said they all got up and they gave three reusing cheers— “huzza, huzza, huzza.” Although a few momenta lofore they felt they cou d hardly lift a hand to ‘save /heir life. So great was the magnetism of some men. Napoleon after his first cap tivity put his foot on tho earth and it shook all kingdoms, and 250,00 J men gath ered to bis standard. But Christ bad a more wonderful magnetism than that Napoleon bad a’l around him tbe memories of Marengo and Austorlitz aud Jena. Here comes a man with no parade, no brandished sword, no peculiarity of apparel, and cororava tively no reputation. I do not now think of remarkable person connected wih H ; s name except his mother, and she so poor that in (he rno.-t solemn hour that ever comes t j a woman’s soul she must lie down among the camel drivers grooming their beasts of bur den. Ah! notwithstanding all this, what do you see? A man mee f s Him ou the street some day and says: “My father was in gov e nraent, aud my grandfather and great grandfather. Who was your father?” Christ says: “My earthly father was Jo seph, the carpenter ” Another man meets Christ and ho unrolls his scroll and says: “Hero is a diploma from the best school in Athens Where did you graduate;” Christ savs: “I never graduate ’’ It was as though seme little fishing villa'e on Long Island should arraign New York. Oh, what a stir He makes! If you have amnd to call it ma metisra of person call it that, but what a st r he makes. He comes into a village and th *n He stops out into the fiehKand all the p»or>!e go after Him,and though they had taken only enough food to last a flay, they are so fas cinated with Christ they follow right clear out Into the wilderness, and in danger of starvation. A man falls flat on the ground before Christ, and says: “My daughter is dsad, my da rgbtor is dead.” A blind man tries to rnb the dimness out of his eyes, and he says: “Lord, that my eyes might be opened.” The light of day pours through gates that has ne er before been opened.' And here com s a sick an 1 fainting woman. She tays: “If I could just touch the hem of his garment—that is all.” And the little children who always liked their mothers be fore st. uzgled to get out of their mothers’ arms. They wanted to go to Christ's arms and they wanted to kiss bis cheek, and they wanted to run their fingers through his hair,and they put Him so in love with children that there is hardly a home on earth from which Christ has not taken one. be says, “I must have them. lam go ing to make Heaven of these. To one cedar that I plant in Heaven, I plant fifty white lilies. The children loved me ou earth, and now I have come to a throne, ought not 1 to love them? Oh, weening mother, hold uot back t hat child. Lav it on my loving »nd sympathetic bosom. Os such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Once more I remark, lack of organization was against Him. If men are going to carry out any great project they banl together, ana their success is generally in proportion to the completeness of the organization. Who can tell how much can be accom plished by a large number of men banded together for a right object. Christ had no su b association, no one to back him up. If people came into Hie company, all right— if they wont away, all veil When they came, no loud salutation. When they went away, no following o! anathema, Peter left Him, and what did Christ do? The Bible says He looked at him. Tuat is all. Oh, my tr ends, did anyone evei start through such obstacles and run through such obsta les to achieve such success • Not withstanding his worldly occupation was against Him and His trade and His diet were against Him, and His poverty was against Him, and His lack of s hoolin? was atainst Him, and the brevity of His life was against Him, and tbe reversal of public maxims was against Him, and lack of lorganization was against Him. yet you hear His voice this morning riuging through tbe ages in everlasting cadences “l have finished tho work which thou gavest :-ne to do!” Oh yes, Christ is a conqueror. See how He conquered all Lb€ forces of nature. Tbe Atlantic (>cean—wh.it a terrible sbing it is in its wrath. How the ocean will take down the Spani-h Arma 10. or the President, or the Central Ameri a as. easily as it could swallow a fly. But 1 have been told by who have visited Asia M nor that a storm on those Inland lakes is worse. And yol Christ come and He looked at one of tho* groa inland 6eas in cyclone and the sea crouched before Him and linked His feet. He knew all the winds aud the waves. He beckoned and tfcev came. Ho frowneo and they fled. The heel of Hi: fool made no indentation on the solidified water as Ho walked it In the ba 1: part of the boat sound asleep. “Oh,” yoi. say, “poor man. poor Christ, so tired, sound asleep in the ba k pan of th* boat” ‘But lit ropses up. Ho comes to the prow of th< boat He looks out He has two words, ofu fc» the winds and the other for the Baa, anc he says: “Pea w, bo still. ’ and the wave crouch like wbippei spaniels at his feet Ecce Home! Ecce Dciut! Behold tho man Behold the God! Medical science has done much for the al lev.at.ou of rheumati ailments and to cun diseased blood; but when the muscios are al withered up no human power can ever re store thorn. When the baud and the arm an dead, they are dead. But hero is a para yti iu tho presence of Christ. Arm perfectl.: Useless, helpless. Christ aces it He couic noc see auy.iiiug of that kind without pity ing it Ho tay» to this mau with th paralytic aim, "stretch forth thy hand. He stretched it forth whole as tho other Eoce Deux! Behold the God! And there i the fish of the sea. No human voice eve commanded a school of fish, but Christ’ voi e marshals the linny tribe, and the; come io a place where a littlo whili before people were fishing atvl haul ing in nothing; now tae pe>ni« a ;aii null the net, aud they pull until the net breaks.

Cbri«t - ame through all that real n aud He said: “Daugh ter of Jairus, rWe up ” She rose up. lie •ail • “Lazarus, come forth,” an 1 he ca ne forth. And !Io ad to tho widrws eon: “Get off that bier and go home with thy 1 mother.” The sou arose and went home with | his mother. Then Christ picked up the key 3 of death and fastened them to His girdle.and uttered a voice which still resounds through all tho graveyards of tao earth: Oh, death, I will be thv plague! Oh, grave, I will be thv destruction!” . Ido not kuow any better illustration of tho vicarious suffering and work of Christ than I could find in the Brotherhood this day here presented an i here welcomed with all our hearts. Vicarious suffering, we sometimes talk as though it wore an abstract word, and we try to illustrate it this way and that way. But it has been illustrated in tho lives of that profession and occupation perhaps ns in no ot'ier. There is not a railroad in the United States that has not been the s one of heroic endurance on the part of railroad engineers—a scene worthy of poet’s canto and pai iter’s pen il and sculptors chisel and legislator's approoriation. Thera he is, ?assing along rapidly. Ho is at his post. 'here his been some wrong order given, or there has bceu some reekles-ness, somewhere, and there comes the train d >wn on tie same era agaitist him at tbe rate of fi ty miio the hour. Standing at his post he savs: “What shall I dof’ for how mu?b It i man can think in a socond. “Shall I jump and save my li 1 © and bo tbe support of !my hclplev. family, or sba'l I stand hero aud save my three hundred pas- I sengors. Oh God. heK” Ho co nes to quick I decision, and he submits to the awful bap tism of fire and scalding and whirlwind and go-sup to take his place among tho martyrs before tho throne. Th *re is one book that needs to be written, and it needs to bo en titled: “Tie Martyr Locomotive Engineers of America.” I am glad they are putting into a -nocm a beautiful scone enacted on one of the Western pra ries. An engin or passing along day after day a lrtle girl come out in front of her father’3 cabin and wave to him and he waved ba -k, and every day that was the joy of the old engineer’s heart, as parsing along in his locomotive over ♦ho prairies the Ufct 1» child amo and waved to him and ha waved ba~k. But one evening the train was belated aud it was belat?d until the darkness came on, and bv tho headli ht of the locomotive, the old en :inoor saw that little chi d on the track. She hail come out 1 looking for tbe old ongineer. She won dered why so long he tarried. She I knew not her pe~iL When the old engineer saw tho little girl ou the track a great horror fro/e his so il. Ho reversed the engine and leaned over on tho cowcatcher, ! and though the train was slowing u > aud slowing un very much, it did seem to the old engineer as ii it wero gaining in j velocity Ant standing thero end wait ing for the right moment, with almost sunernalural eiu h ho sei ed her and fell back <>n the cowcatcher. The tram halted, the pass* ngers ca ne around to see vvhat was the matter, and the e lay the old engineer fainted dead away, with the little child all unhurt in his a ms. He had saved her. Bravo! 3 ou say, bravo! for the o d engineer. But behold ray Christ the son of GxL When Irag trains of disaster were erming down on tho nations—long trains of ever* lasting woe and darkness an l doom, H»i went out in his own Almighty strength and snat hed us oat of the doom, aid snatched us out of darkness, Himself pori-h ng iu tha snerifim. Ob, th ; grandeur of the vicari >ui Buffering of the Son of God who laid down Hisli e f >r you and for mo. Oh, His g ace— it is so hi ;h, it is so deep, it is so long, it is so broad. Yes, 3ms. We nave a sympathizer in this Christ. I know that. You cannot toil, my brother, you cannot tell, my sister, you cannot tell Chri-t anything about suffering. Ho has bon through it all. You will never have a lad as heavy to carry as the load He carried up th; bloody mount. You will never have any suffering worse than that whio.i Christ felt when, with tongue hot anl parched and cra-ked and swollen. He cried out: “I thirst!” Ab, you wi 1 never have any worse en than Christ had. They hailed down His prayers aud they sou fed un with glee tbe s nellof His blood. This day I lay His crushed heart at your feat. Oh, He must have been tremendously in earnest, or all the obstacles would nave driven Him back. Bit, no, no. Ha comes right on. and He is here more certainly th ui j you and 1 are huav, for H; fills all the place ; with His presence, an 1 I nut His crushed h*arfc'at 3'our feet. Oh, let' it not be told in I Heaven that after all your onporfcuities of accepting this Christ, and after all that Christ has done for 30U, you despised His g’-ace and put off this opportunity. Many of j you I see for the first time an l the last time. It is so every Sabbath morning aud it lis so every Sabbath night I see you : once and then never again until the great . throne of judgment is lifted and they shall j come from the North and tbe South and the I East aud th * West. Wo will a'l be there. However deep down in the earth wo may | be buried wa will U?ar the blast of the great trumpet, aud wo shall co no un, we shall ! come up. And yet I hi -o t> tell vou this morning—and it breaks my heart to tell you—that notwithstanding all that j Christ has done because of His re lection, 1 all His magnificent work an 1 all the story of • cross and crown and tlix-as aro for some i people a dead failure. Helena, the Empress, 1 went out to find in too Holy Land a cross, j the particular cross on which Christ was crucified, and tradition says—of course there was superstition mingled with the tra iition —tradition says three crosse > were examine 1. They did not know which of tbe three was the cross of Christ, so they took a dea 1 bo ly and nut it upon one cross atfll the body moved n ot. Then they tok too dead body an i put it noon the second cross, but the body moved not Theu they tx>k the dead body and they put it upon the third cross and it sprang into life—it sprang Into life. It may have been—that ! story ma/ have boon mere tradition or super stition; but it is not a superstition that in the cross of the Bon of God inere is a life giving power fa* your dead soul and mine. “Awake, thou that idee)test, aarl arisu from the dead and C'hriit shall give thso life ” Tho Weeping Tree. The reader will have to go to the Ca nary Islands if he wishes to see this tree, which is also called the fountain tree. It lives in a constant shower. The water exuding Irom its foliage falls in a copi ous raia from the branches. ()ne of these, of which there are three on the Island of Hiero, stands in the midst of a little pond that it perpetually supplies with water, hence the inhabitants in the vicin ity go there to get their supplies. The tree is a renervoir, a manufactory, a lab oratory. The one to which particular reference is made in the present instance is located on high ground, about five miles from the sea, and by the natives is venerated as a hoiy t ee; its leaves con stantly d.stil enough water to iurnish drink to every living creature on the island. It is distinct from other tree-, as it stands by it-elf. About nine feet in circumference uc I three in diameter, its branches overhang a circle of 130 feet around, being thick and numerous. Its fruit reemble in shape that of the acorn, and tastes somewhat like the kernel of a pineapple, but softer and more aro matic. The leaves a e like those of the laurel, but are Lrger aud wider, with a sharper curve ; they come forth in per petual succession, so that tbe tree is ulway- green. < n the north side of the trunk is a sort of natural double cistern, or tank of rough stone, each being about twenty feet square and ten or twelve in depth. One of these is used by tho j islanders and tin- o h r by cattle; a per son is appointed to take care of it, and make a fair distribution of its water, a nl j for this purpose is given house rent free and a f alary.— Cu'ticotor.

The Worst Slavery Known—New Revela latlons of Power. Cincinnati Time*Star. When cocaine was discovered the medical world exclaimed “thauk heaven!” But useful as it is, it is also dangerous, es pecially when its use is perverted from the deadening of pain for surgical operations, to the stiminatiun and destruction of the humau body. Its first effects are soothing and cap tivating, but the thraldom is the most hor rible slavery known to bumauity. J. L. Stephens, M.
