INFLUENCE OF THE RISEN. ! sentence be continued and con
; I eluded in a note of triumph. Such
R ev. Dr. Joseph Parker's
o'
oerrnua m
! Plymouth Church.
"He is
Luke xxiv :
not
G.
here, but risen. "-
Iara confident, that in view of
the pathetic circcui stances which
giver uniqueness to this occasion,
I may rely upon the utmost in
dulgence of every Christian
heart. FYe have not assembled
under ' ordinary circumstances.
For nearly forty years this parr
ticular Sunday the first in Oc
tober has been signalized bv the
reappearance in this church of an
honored and illustrious ;pas.or.
To-day ho is rot here, but we say
of him as of the .Lord, "lie is
risen." j Yet, if we should dare to
speak of the mortality of the life
of man,! this brevity of earthly ex
istence,: who would, not instantly!
fasten upon the speaker the charge
of fanaticism or of commonplace.
"We feel that our friend is not
here. We know it by a sense of
loneliness and coldness and deso
lation e have never .felt before.
There may be those, who would
pass over such an event swiftly.
Some men have a genius for the
degredation of all things f .to the
level of commonplace. ;3Ve must
not be led by them. We must not
be led by them. We must take
the responsibility of forming our
own opinions as to what is great
and as jto what is abject, what is
august and what is worthless, and
it ought never to be a common
place to man that his 'life: passes
like a weaver's shuttle : that bis!
days are but a handful at most ;
that his breath is in his nostrils,
and death, so men understand it,
is nearer to him than what he calls
his lifeJ Let us beware of waste
ful and riotous Hying. How quiet
ly do some men get through every
thing, i The landscape furnishes
but a walk so many miles in
length. : They would n0t care to
look upon it a second (time. They
have seen it. Xot they ; they can
not see' it. 'These! fastgoers see
nothing as it really isv They have
been.through theJfoWst, but they
have not seen, a single leaf. Thej
have heard n o voices in the sway
ing branches, no anthems in the
sunny air. They wonder that
any man can T3e weak enough to
repeat - the- pilgrimage through
such a kcene. And what is true
of nature is hue of art. There
are boys not rcmch more than 12
years of age who have galloped
through the galleries, of Europe.
With a nod the' have set a fool's
estimate upon what has cost a
great man thought, blood and
anxiety, to accomplish.
These circumstances would not
be worthy of-mention did they not
point to something deeper and
deadlier than themselves. They
do not end in their own folly.
Men who can get through land
scapes! and picture-galleries can
also get through miracles. We
have outlived the signs and won
ders of the Son of God. ? We have
become so familiar with them that
we begin to question them. We
are the victims of cold blood. We
want to do in coldness what can
only be done in the intenscst fire
and enthusiasm Unless miracles
come fo us in showers, and thus
become no miracle at all, we will
not believe. The time will come
when commonplace will be -the
miracle ; when he will be the su
preme preacher, the great reacit-f
ing mind in the Christian century,
who keeps us on bread ami water.
Christ never promised anything
beyond. He said He was bread.
He said: ''I am the water of. life."
XT-Te who fixes himself in analogies
of ins kind can never be moved.
He unites himself with the deep
est ant? most solid necessity of the
world.: H hen 'we get throtigh
miracles vTe get through inspira
tion quickly. We make theories
about it. We? cojupure one kind
of inspiration with another, as if
there could be two kinds. And
thus we live riotous anu wasteful
lives-, hot in any sense oi physi
cal debauchery, to which we have
foolishly limited the word "nrocli-
gamy, nu; we
impoverish and
enfeeble the soul by not
making
enough of the common thing:
not turning common bread
sacrificial flesh and common
;by
into
sup-
per wine into sacramental bio.'d.
You vrill soon live throucrh the
O -
universe; you will soon feel that
eternity is stale ir thus you bound
with a fool's haste from, scene to
scene in the infinite panorama of
the universe. Be not afraid to
dwell upon the commonplace. Be
well grounded in the elements.
There be scholars over-certified
and burdened down with papers
who cannot spell thek own lan
guage. Be right in the thoughts
of life, in the realities of Provi
dence.
, This announcement, "not here,"
is not uttered in any sense that
provokes or suggests melancholy.
This is a note of triumph. This
is not only a declaration of-ab-sence
; it is a reason for that ab
sence, or a glorification of it. "He
is not here." That is negative
chilling, disappointing, unless fte
! Jnn 23. 1881

j Negation, even in its hugest de
jnial.s, is only a gigantic cipher, an
I infinite emptiness. Yet some men
t .... .
make reputatiens by their genius
in negations. Theyjare allowed
oh, be astonished, ye heavens I -
to make monev bv uttering the
everlasting "Xo." Probably a
kind of grim consolation goes with
that stvle of teaching. It is a
(consolation that will not last. It
'does not fit the measure of life.
Lit is a short line, and leaves life's
most urgent necessities and fre
nuent pains unprovided for. The
angel adds, "But He is risen."
He is risen, and, therefore, is
more here than ever here in fuller
iiersonality, in richer influence, in
te.nderest sympathy. That which
was" local, limited, physical, dis
proportionate, burdensome, is
gone ; but the radiant saintliness,
the roval spirituality, the new-
creation . is alive for evermore
Thus ascension is not only the last
explanation of absence it is the
larrrpst and truest affirmation of
presence. Oar friends never get
a real grip of us till they get into
heaven and reach down to us, and
are aided in their reaching by the
whole leverage of their elevation.
They truly live who are out of our
sight as to the body, but never out
of sight as to the soul. The body
disappears, but the spirit tarries
to bless our soul w"un companion
ship. "I am alone, vet not alone,
for the Father is with me." We
knnw soTnftwbit ' ctf ihe range of
this truth by the natural analysis,
by daily experience and observa
tion. We ate touched as by an
ineffable pathos by the' dawn.
How tender the light as it rises in
the whitening east! We say:
'We will bring our friends to see
this great" and lo ! when we have
returned with them a voice seems
to say, "It is not here." It is risen
and is far on toward. the noonday.
How charming is the little child,
all dimples, all smiles ! : . How
wondrous the influence of its whole
life! We will say of it: "This
same shall convert us";, and lo !
in a day or two, as it seems to our
imagination, the child is not .here,
but "risen" into the boy,' and the
boy will rise , into the man, and
the man to a prince and -angel.
That is the law of the universe.
If anything stands still, have no
faith in it. We often find a mys
tery whero there is none. We
operate from misconceived circles,
and our points of origin are not
points of origin at all. There is
little difficulty with the Vvrord
"risen" if we can get through the
dark word "here." To be here is
the painful burden. We did not
want, wo did not ask to be here.
We offien wonder what it means.
The place is so little, yet so sud
denly assuming aspects of ghast
liness so winsome, yet so fright
fulthat we wronder up to a point
of amazement which might easily
become religious. Then, again,
what perils beset the fact of in
carnation and visibleness. It were
better that we should not see some
of the influences which have most!day was noteworthy as being that
blessed or sustained our lives.
We know how perilous a thing it
is to bo admitted to familiar in
tercourse with men who have
swayed us by their thoughts or
have thrown upon our lives the
spell of genius. So long a,s they
staid away, operating only intel
lectually and sympathetically, wre
gave them reverence and homage,
T A .I 1 I' -
ana spoKe ot tnem lovingly and j
gratefully. Mayhap when they
came near they lessened their in
fluence upon us by some conceited
manner, eccentricity of habit or
action, some bodily infirmity. And
how quick we are to magnify these
little imperfections? What a
genius we have for mischief ! And
some may come to regret that
they ever saw in the flesh the man
who from afar and from some in
visible tabernacle ruled and sway
ed us with a mighty and gracious
dominion. The flesh has always
been . a difficulty. The eye has
always been its own victim. Who,
for example, - can incarnate his
thoughts in words? What are
words ? Who made them ? What
thinker has ,ever been satisfied
with his own words? When he
has written his thought, he feels
that he has not expressed it. He
is struck with nothing so much as
the emptiness of what he has
written. What is true of our little
words is pre-eminentlvtrue of the
a Tord that was God, and was made
flosh and dwelt among us. When
we
saw God in the flesh, we killed
Him on a tree. This we
wavs doing. We are the

victims of tho senses we all but adore.
We can only see the least aspect of
things, Mie narrowest, most limit
ed view of Cod's creation. Yet
we venture to put in stakes, and
to say : "This is tent of God, and
other tents there is none. Bless
ed are they who sing hymns under
t
our canvass, and as for
those
wno sing tneir nymns eisewnere,
we make no prediction concerning
them." When Jesus said : '-Lo,

will assume the protection and the
sanctity of churches by and by,
and if they cannot come home to

wandering prodigal, go home this

Immortality of existence would be
intolerable but for immortality of
influence. Existence is nothing
but a burden under given eondir
tions. You could kill some men
by taking from them their occupa
tions, Leisure would mow down
the men of few York and London
as with a scythe. They can only
live in captivity. Other men can
only live in doing good. God' has
made provision for this great need
pf our nature. Wg never read of
heaven as a place of mrp con
templation, mere leisure, but a
place of activity, The best testi
mony we can give to iuo influence
of the dead & to continue and e-
tend the work in wbicn tney de

There should be no more gating
up into heaven. v Hear a sermon
that makes you " -contemplative,
dreaming anj that tTPOthes you,
and you may know that i Is noc
of heaven. ' TJiere mav be parts
of it gracious as the beautitudos,
tender as the tears of Jesus, but !
in every right sermon there must
be something bike a storm, a trum
pet calling to battle, a sword ter
rible to him who would do evil at
the altar. If any man says he
mourns the dead so deeply he can
do nothing for the living he is
dishonoring the dead, whom he
never understood, and is blighting
the flowers which he pretends to
preserve. When w-e mourn our
sainted dead it is our infirmity
that mourns. Our faith rejoices,
our hope sings, our love keeps
blessed festival. When we think
of our joy we forget our sorrows,
and call men to bless the Lord for
his goodness in giving rest to his.
weary ones. Praise Him with the
sound of the trumpet, praise Him
with the timbrel and the dance,
for he has opened the door of
heaven and made them glad who
once knew the bitterness of infinite
tribulation.
This sermon was delivered
Sunday morning, Oct. 2d. The
upon which for manv years Mr.
Beecher had been accustomed to
make his first pulpit appearance
after the summer vacation. ,
A Fact Worth Knowing,
No mere cathartic can exert .any
action upon the Liver, yet many
persons of a bilious habit are con
tinually dosing themselves to
produce actions which only weak
en the bowels and aggravate the
evil. When the Liver requires
stimulating the precise agent to
give healthful and prolonged im
petus is Simmons Liver lvegula
tor. It is a safe medicine to take,
being purely vegetable. There is
no danger from salivation or from
exposure. .
Every wife and mother in the
country should know the great
value of Arer's Sarsaparilla, as a
blood purifier. It gives tone,
health, and strength, to the vital
organs, corrects all irregularities,
and expels impurities J from the
system. Young and old- use it.
Price n.
Malaria does not always reveal
its presence by chills or regular
shakes. Your system may be full
of it, aud none of these symptoms
be present. You will feel misera
ble, think you are- bilious, take
purgatives and only feel weaker
and worse, because the malarious
poison is still operative. A dose
of Shallenberger's Pilfs at bed
time will show vrou next morning
that you have hit the real enemy,
and a dose or two more will re
move every vestage of the poison.
They never sicken the stomach, do
not act on the bowels, but simply
destroy Maliria.

A Parisian workman named
Barthes invitetf his hotter half to
look down a well. When she did
so he pushed her in. The woman,
on comiug to the surface of the I
water, shrieked for help. Her
husband let down a bucket, by
means of a rope, and to this she
clung with tenacity, believiag that
she was about to be saved. Her
husband, however, ruled other
wise, and when he had raised his
wife and the bucket nearly to the
top of the well, he let go, and the
woman was once more precipita
ted into the water. As she reap
peared, Barthes threw large stones
on her to make her sink. Then
the neigbors appeared. One got
a ladder and put down to the
woman, who was saved after some
difficulty, owing to the continued
opposition of her husband. He
was sentenced to niteen years

servant of his to direct his people,
both black and . white. She or
ganized a band of exhorUr, and
went from farm to farm, pleading
with both colors to quit tht4r
meanness, lier UAUd grew, and
qow it numbers something like 800
members ol her color.
In company with Homo friends
I drove out to her church, which
is situated three miles from hero,
Sunday evening, . Tmg lefore
we readied the church wo could
hear the picking of tho banjo ami
the shuffling of feet. Alighting,
Scinda, arrayed in. gorgeoun red
and yellow, came to the door to
greet us and welcome us in. The
church is a small structure made
of pine logs. Around on the walls
hang her paraphernalia used in
i . i it i .i
uer maicuus inrougu mo country.
In the centre of the room stood a
little table covered with a red
cloth of grotesque figures of white
sewed on it. This is where tho
members speak. '
When we arrived a "soldier
was telling his inspirations of tho
day. He consumed alout ten
minutes. They they danced and
sung and and played tho banio
and shouted. When dancing be
gins they all stand up, and as
many as can join hands until a
circle is formed. They inarch
around and around, singing their
own chants, occasionally stop-
pinrr.
and each one goes through j
l r
a
'shuffle" to the music of a ban-
This performance lasts about
ten minutes, then another preach
es, then a dance, and eo on untu
a few minutes before they break
up for the day. Then every voice
is hushed and a stillness prevades
tno nouse.
Rising slowlv and delilerately
from her seat bcinda, the priestcKS
of this new, original and strange
religion, proceeds to the appoint
ed stand. Every ono watches her
with wide-eyed wonder, and is
eager to catch every syllable of
her utterance. Her sermons are
short and to tho point. She
claims that every word escaping
her lips is from God. Her say
ings are original and some of them
not devoid of good sense. In her
sermon Sunday, among other
things, she said: "Some of. von
darkies are like a hoecake cooked
only on one side, xou come t
church', and oh, nothing is too
good for yon to do. Youjdng
and pray, and dance and shout,
until one would think you are
ready for heaven. Monday comes,
you show the raw side. ; xou are
with the world ; you steal, you lie,
and do everything that is wrong.
That is not the kind of religion
we want. We want the hoecake
cooked through and through; when
you break it in the middle let it bj
brown as it is on thjytrotttim."
Speakinji of law she saui no law
could be made, too stringent for
her. She wanted tvery VkJation
of God's will punishable on earth
as well as in the world to come.
"The judges of our courts," hhe
said, "ought to be baptised in the
grace of God ; the Bible says that
lawyers ought to "'lie. good and
honest, and prosecuting attorneys
ought to be chockful of religion.'
She insists on personal cleanli
ness, and in this she is not far
Irorn godliness he rigidly en-
forces honesty and the prompt
payment of debts.
nhe plays a powerful part in the
political affairs of GeDada county
and the surrounding country; o
politician dares to oppose her,
and about election time, she is the
recipient of more adulation and
homage than her white exponents
of the Scripture.
She regards virtue as the high
est law of God, and it is said that
none of the band indulge in any
