He That In Order to ITnderotand It V litre flnlr to Use the Pm Com mon Sense For Religion That We Do For Everything E3e, WAsnixGTpx, March 21. From many conditions life Dr. Talmage, in this tennon, draws graphic illustrations of one of the sublimest theories of religion namely, vicarious sacrifice. His text was Hebrews ix, 22, "Without shedding of blood is no remission.' John G. Whitticr, the last of the great Kchcol of American poets that made the la.t qua Jtrr of otntnry brilliant, asked me in the White mountains one morning after prayers; in which I had given out Oowper's famous hymn . about tne 'fountain filled' with blood," "Do you really believe there is a literal applica- tion or tne ciooa oi vnribi iu buuu My negative reply then is my negative reply now. The Bible statement agrees with all physicians and all pnysioiogisrs and all scientists in saying that the blood is the life, and in the Christian religion it means simply that inrisi s life was given for our life. Hence all this talk of meriwho say the Bible story of blood is disgusting ana tnax mej don't want what they call a "slaughter house religion only shows their inca ingness to look through pacity or unwil the figure of speech toward tne ining signified. The blood that on tne darkest Friday tho woVld ever saw oozed or trickled or poured from the brow, ana tho side, and tho hands, and the feet of the illustrious sufferer, back of Jerusa lem, in a few I hours coagulated and dried up and forever disappeared, and if man had depended on the application oi the literal blood of Christ there would T.f hn iPTi a soul saved for the last 18 renturic3. 1 1 i In order to understand this red word lnv text wo ralv have to exercise as much common sense in religion as we do in everything else. Pang for pang, hunger for hunger, fatigue for fatigue, tear for tear, blood for blood, life for life, wo see every day illustrated. The act of substitution is no novelty, ai- . .a a 1 though I hear men talk as tnougn me Mm nf Christ's suffering substituted for our suffering Were something abnormal, something distressingly odd, somctning wildly eccentric, a rolitary episode in the world's history when l couia taice you out into fnis wijr uu irciwu du-- down point you, to live nunarea cases oi substitution and voluntary suffering of one in behalf of another. Overwork. At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon go among the places of business or toil. It will bo no difficult thing for yon to find men who by their looks show you that thev are overworked. They are prema turely old. They are hastening rapidly toward thtir decease. Thejf have gone through crises iu business that shattered their nervous system and pulled on me brain. They havo a shortness of breatn and a nain in tho back of the head and at night an insomnia that alarms them. Vhr nre thev drudsiutr at business early '7i w Fnrfnn No. It would be difficult to extract any amusement out of that exhaustion. Because they are avaricious? In many cases no. Because their own personal expenses are lavish? No. A few hundred dollars would meet all their wants. The simple fact is the man is enduring all that fatigue and ex asperation and wear and tear to keep his home proslCrous. There is an invis ible line reaching from that store, from that hank, from that shop, from that scaffolding, to a quiet scene a few blocks away, a few miles away. And there is tho Rrrret of . that business endurance. He is simply the; champion of a home stead for which he wins creaa ana waru- robe and education and prosperity, and in such bat tie; 10, 000 men fall.

I" Li Vint TYinC f. tt a suixiuea jiguv uuiuiup, the houses from base to top are as dark as though uninhabited. A merciful God has scut forth the archangel oi sieep, and he puts; his wings over the city. Bat yonder is a clear light burning, and outside on tl;e window casemeni is a glass or pitcher containing food lor a sick child. The food is set in tho fresh air. This is the sixth night that mother has sat up with that sufferer. She has to the last point obeyed the physician's prescription, not giving a drop too much or too little or a moment too soon or too lata She is vry anxious, for she has buried three children with the same rfivic and she prays and weeps, each prayer and sob ending with a kiss of the pale cheek. By dint of kindness she gets the little one through the ordeal. After it is all over the mother is taken down. Brain or nervous fever sets in, and one day she leaves the convalescent child with a mother's blessing and goes up to join the three in the kingdom of heaven. Life for life! Substitution!

She is going, and attendants, bending over her pillow, ask her if she has any message, to leave, and she makes great effort to say some thing, but out of three or four minutes of indistinct utterance they ' can catch but three words, "My poor boy!" The simple fact is 6he died for him. Life for life. Substitution!; ' About 36 years ago there went forth from our northern and southern homes hundreds of thousands of men to do bat tle for their country. All the poetry of war soon vanished and left them noth ing but the terrible prose. They waded knee deep in mud. They slept in snow banks. They marched till their cut feet tracked tho earth. They were swindled onf of their honest rations and lived on meat not fit for a dog. They had jaws All fractured and eyes extinguished and limbs shot away. Thousands of them cried for water as they lay dying on the field the night after the battle and got it not. They were homesick and received no message from their loved ones. .They died in barns, in bushes, in ditches, the buzzards of the summer heat the only attendants on their obsequies. No one but the infinite God, who knows every uuw . ; ' VI thing, Knows me ten-inousanum fh, the length and breadth and depth and height of the aneuish of the northern and southern battlefields. Why did these fathers leave their children and go to the front, and why did these young men, postponing the marriage day, start out into the probabilities of nbver coming "back? .For the country they died. Life for life. Blcod for blood. Substitution! Life For Life. But, we need not go eo far. . "What is that monument in Greenwood? It is to the doctors who fell ;n the southern ep idemics. Why go? Were there not enough sick to be attended in these northern latitudes? Oh, yes! But the doctor puts a few medical books in his valise, and gome vials of medicine, and leaves his patients-here in the hands of other phy sicians and fakes the rail train. Before Be gets to the infected regions he passes crowded rail trains, regular and extra, taking the flying and affrighted popula tions. He arrives in a city over which a great horror is brooding. He goes from couch to couch, feeling of the 'pulse and Ktndviner svmptoms and prescribing day after day, night after night, until a fel low physician says: "Doctor, you had "hetter eo home and rest. You look mis erable." But he cannot rest while so many are suffering. On and on until some morning finds him in a delirium, in which he talks of home, and then rises and says he must go and look after those natients. He is told to lie down, but he fights his attendants" until he falls back and is weaker and weaker, and dies for people with whom he had no kinship, and far away from his own family, and is hastily put away in a stranger's tomb, and only the fifth part of a newspaper line tells us of his sacri fice his name just mentioned among firo Yet he has touched the farthest height of sublimity in that three weeks of humanitarian service. He goes i niit no nn nrrnw to the bosom of him who said, "I was sick, and ye vis itcdme." Life for life. Blood for blood. Substitution! In the legal profession I see the same Twineiole of self sacrifice. In 184b wn liam Freeman, a pauperized and idiotic negro, was at Auburn, N. Y., on trial for murder. He had slain the entire Van Nest family. The foaming wrath of the community could be kept off him onlv bv armed constables. Who would volunteer to be his counsel? No attorney wanted to sacrifice his popularity by such an ungrateful task. All were silent snvfi nne a voune lawyer with feeble voice that could hardly be .heard outside the bar, pale and thin and awkward. It -o Willinm H.

The beggar in the street obliges me to give because he coVo 'God bless vou!' as I pass. My dog caresses me with fondness if I will but smile on him: My horse recognizes me trpn T fill his mansrer.

" I glory m this reli gion of blood. I am thrilled as I see the suggestive color in- sacramental cup. whether it be of burnished silver set on cloth immaculately white or rough hewn from wood set on table in log hut meeting hous of the wilderness. Now I am thrilled as I see the altars of ancient sacrifice crimson with the blood of tho slain lamb, and Leviticus is to me not so much the Old Testament as the New. Now I see why the destroying aug 1 passing over Egpyt in tho night spared all those houses that bad biooti sprinKica on their doorposts. 'Now I know what Isaiah means when he speaks of "one in red apparel coming with dyed5 garments from Bosrah," and who the Apoca lypse means when it describes a heaven--ly chieftain whoso "vesture was dipped in blood," and what Peter the aposue means when he speaks of the "precious blood that cleanseth from all sin, ' and what the old, wornout, decrepit mis-. sionary Paul means when in my .text he cries, "Without shedding of blood is no remission. " By that blood you and I will be saved or never saved at all. Glory be to God. that the hill back of Jerusalem was the battlefield on which Christ achieved our liberty. The most exciting and overpowering day of one summer was the day I spent on the battlefield of Saterloa btartiug out with the morning train from Brus sels, we arrived in about an hour on that famous spot. A sou of one who was . . his father a thousand times the) whole scene recited accompanied us oyer the field. There stood -t heboid Hougom on t chauteau, the walls dented and scratched and broken . and shattered by grapeshot and cannon . ball. There is the well in which 300 dying and dead were pitched. There is the chapel with the head 01 tho infant Christ shot off. There are the eates at which for many hours Luglish and French armies wrestled Yonder were the 160 guns of the Eng lish and the 350 guns of the trench. Yonder the Hanoverian hussars fled for tho woods. Yonder was the ravine of Ohain. where the French cavalry, not knowing there was a hollow in the ground, rolled over and down, troop after troop, tumbling into one awiui mass of suffering, hoof of kicking horses against brow and bieast of captains and colonels and private soldiers, the human and the beastly groan kept up until the day after alFwas shoveled under because of the malodor arising in that hot month of June: .

In that orchard 2, COO men were cut to pieces.- Here stood weniugiou, with white lips, and up that knoll rode Marshal Ney on his sixth horse, hve haviner been shot under him. Here the rahlis of the French broke, and Marshal Nev. with his boot slashed of a sword, and his hat off, and his face covered with powder and blood, tried to rally his troops as he cried, ' Uomo ; and see how a marshal of France dies on the battlefield 1' From yonder direction Qrouqhy was expected for the French re- enforcement, but he came not. -j Around those woods Blucher was looked for to re-enforce the English, -and just in time he came up.

And the tide turned, and at 8 o'clock in the evening the man of destiny, who was called Dy his trooos Old Two Hundred Thousand, turned away with broken heart, and the fate of centuries was decided.

Hills, a Black Hills oper ator, tells how Ragged Top; tho new goldfield, was located, as followi: . ,4This history of tho Ragged Top find reads like a- romanco. Tho story they tell is that a wandering hobo strolled up into the Spearfish region, northwest ot Deadwood, Just aimlossly tramping about the country, with no more knowl edge of mining than you have.' He final ly dropped in with some rellowi and asked them w hero v they supposed hs might be able to find some rich diggings. There was considerable snow 011 tho trround, and one of , the fellows pointed haphazard over to a stretch of the white landscape and winked at his companions, while he said ; to the hobo, 'Wouldn't wonder if you'll find aomething rich right there. . . 'Guess I'll take it, then,' Bald ho. "The snow made it impossible for him to know anything about what he had 8electod,, but to carry out tho aw fully good joke on him the fellows in the camp explained how ho must proevca , to secure a legal location. And so they 4 had him working in the snow to stake out his claim, and while ho was about it ho staked out a lozen. ' Whatever In spired him to so much industry under such circumstances nobody knows. ., "Well, after awhile the now meltd off, and he found himself in possession of a great windrow of' bowlders, about as unlikely a prospect for a gold mine as was ever seen. But in a blind sort of way he went to whacking at the rocka and took some of the chunks to the assay office, and the stuff was declared to be ; worth f 600 a ton. People couldn't be lieve it, but other assays demonstrated ' that it was true, and tho aimless hobo was in a fair way to become a million aire. News of 'his strike spread, and- there was a stampede for Ragged Top, and now ; there are men acatterod all over the region trying to secure loca tions of mines, and there is m towRif boom, and the railroads are extending spurs into the country, all the result ox. . that joke on the hobo, t ; "The find contradicts theories 01 c01' ogists and mineralogists, but so mucn the worse for the theories :i h is windrow of gold bearing bowlderolies right cu top of a deposi t of limeatone, and i t J 1 ,, declared to be the only known inatanr of such juxtaposition. - Ibe rocic is sci.jc what refractory, but is of fuch b:;: grade that it will pay to trauspoi t : anywhere for chlorination or smeltr or any of the processes ror treating ore.
