Text: m Tt are bought with a price.”—
Corinthians, vi., 20.
Your friend takes you through his valu
able house. You examine the arches, thi
fresco, the grass-plots, the fish-ponds, thi
conservatories, the parks of dee**, and yoi
say within yourself, or you say aloud
“Wliat did all this cost?” You see costlj
apparel, or you see a high-mettled span ol
horses harnessed with silver and gold, an<i
you begin to make an estimate of the value
The roan who owns a large estate cannot in
stantly tell you what it is all worth. Hi
says: “I will estimate so much forth«
house, so much for the furniture, so muck
for laying out the grounds, so much forth«
stock, so much for the barn, so much foi
the equipage—adding up, in all making thii
a friends, I hear so much about oui
mansion in heaven, about its furniture and
the grand surroundings, that I want to know
how much it is all worth, and what has actu
ally been paid for it. I cannot complete it
a month or a year the magnificent calcula
tion; but If if ore I get through to-day I hope
to give yd I the figures. r ‘Ye are bought
with a prid>.”
With some friends I went to London
Tower to look at the crown jewels of Eng
land. We walked around, caught one glimpss
of them, and being in the procession were
compelled to pass out. I wish that to-day 1
could take this audience into the tower ol
God’s mercy and strength, that you might
walk around just once at least and see the
crown jewels of eternity, behold their brill
iance and estimate their value. “Ye are
bought with a price.” Now, if you have a
large amount of money to pay, you do not
pay it all at once, but you pay it by install
ments—so much the first of January, so much
the first of April, so much the first of July,
so much the first of October, until the entire
amount is paid. And I have to tell this audi
ence that “You have been bought with a
price,” and that that price was paid in differ- |
ent installments.
The first installment paid for the clearance
of our souls was the ignominious birth of
Christ in Bethlehem. Though we may never
be carefully looked after afterward, our ad
vent into the world is carefully guarded. We
come into the world amid kindly attentions.
Privacy and silence are afforded when God
launches an immortal soul into the world.
Even the roughest of men know enough to
stand back. But I have to tell you that in
the village on the side of the hill there was a
very bedlam of uproar when Jesus was
born. In a village capable of accommodat
ing only a few hundred people, many thou
sand people were crowded; and ainid hos
tlers and muleteers and camel drivers yelling
at stupid beasts of burden, the Messiah ap
peared. No silence. No privacy. A better
adapted place hath the eaglet in the eyrie—
hath the whelp in the lion's lair. The exile of
heaven lieth down upon the straw. The
first night out from the palace of heaven
spent in an outhouse. One hour after laying
aside the robes of heaven, dressed in a
wrappe rof coarse linen. One would have
supposed that Christ would have made a
more gradual descent, coming from heaven
first to a half-way world of great magnitude,
then to Caesar's palace, then to a merchant’s
castle in Galilee, then to a private home in
Bethany, then to a fisherman's hut, and last
of all to the stable. No! it was one leap
from the top to the bottom.
Let us open the door of the caravansary in
Bethlehem, and drive away the camels.
Press on through the group of idlers and
loungers. What, O Mary, no light? “No
light,” she says, save that which comes
through the door.” What, Mary, no food?
“ None.” she says, “ only that which is
brought in the sack on the journey.” Let
the Bethlehem woman who has come in here
with kindly at tentions put back the covering
from the babe that we may look upon it.
Lookl Look! Uncover your head. Let us
kneel. Let all voices be hushed. Son of Mary!
Son of God! Child of a day—mon
arch of eternity! In that eye the
glance of a God. Omnipotence sheathed
in that babe's arm. That voice to be
changed from the feeble plaint to the tone
that 6hall wake thedeaa. Hosanna! Ho
sanna! Glory be to God that Jesus came
from throne to manger that we might rise
from manger to throne, and that all the gates
are open, and that the door of heaven that
once swung this way to let JesiH out, now
swings the other way to let us in. Let all j
the bellmen of heaven lay hold the rope, and
ring out the news: “Behold, I bring you
glad tidings of great joy, which shall bo to
all people: for to-day is born in the city of
David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord!”
The second installment paid for our soul’s
clearance was the scene in Quarantania. a
mountainous region full of caverns, where
there are to this day panthers and wild
beasts of all sorts; so that you must now,
the traveler says, go there armed with knife
or gun or pistol. It was there that Jesus
went to think and prav, and it was there
that this monster of hell, more sly.
more terrific than anything that prowled
'll that country—Satan himself, met
Christ The rose in the cheek of Christ
—that Publius Lentulus, in his letter to the
Roman Senate, ascribed to Jesus—that rose
had scattered its petals. Abstinence from I
Jood had thrown him into emaciation. The j
longest abstinence from food recorded in
profane history is that of the crew of the
ship Juno; for twenty-three days they had
xiothing to eat. But this sufferer had fasted
a month and ten days before He broke fast.
Hunger must have agonized every fibre of
the body and gnawed on the stomach with
teeth of death. The thought of a morsel of
bread or meat must have thrilled the body
with something like ferocity. Turn out a
pack of men hungry as Christ was a-hun
gered, and if they had strength, with one
yell they would devour you as a lion would
a kid. It was in that pang of hunger that
Jesus was accosted, and Hatan said: “Now
change these stones, which look like bread,
into an actual supply of bread.” Had the
temptation come to you or me under those
circumstances, we would have criedßread
it shall be!” and had been almost impatient
at the time taken for mastication; but
Christ with one baud beat back the hunger,
and with the other hand beat back the mon
arch of darkuess. O. ye tempted ones!
Christ was tempted. We are told that Na
poleon ordered a coat of mail made; but he
was not quite certain that it was impene
trable, so be said to the manufacturer of
that coat of mail: “Put it on now your
self and let us try it;” and with shot
after shot from his own pistol the Emperor
found out that it was just wbat it pretended
to be—a good coat of mail. Then the man
received a large reward. I bless God that
the same coat of mail that struck back the
weapons of temptation from the heart of
Christ we may all now wear; for Jesus
comes and says:' “I have been tempted, and
I know what it is to be tempted. Take this
robe that defended Me and wear it for your
nelves. I will see you through all trials, and
I will see you through all temptation.”
“But,” says Satan still further to Jesus,
‘come and I will show you something worth
looking at,” and after a half-day s journey
tbay came to Jerusalem end to the top of thi
Temple. Just as one might go up in thi
tower of Antwerp and look off upon B“l
--gium, to Satan brought Christ to the top of
toe Temple. Some people at a great height
feel dizsy, and hare a strange disposition to
jump; so Hatan oomes to Christ with a pow
erful temptation in that rery crisis. Stand
ing there at the top of the Temple they look
off. A magnificent reach of country.
Grain fields, vineyards, olive groves, forests 1
and streams, cattle in the valley, flocks on
the bills, and villages, and cities,and realms.
“Now,” says Hatan. ••I’ll make a bargain.
Just jump off. I know it is a great way from
the top of the Temple to the valley,but if yon
are divine you can fly. Jump off. It won’t
hurt you. Angels will catch you. Your
Father will hold you. Besides, I’ll make you
a large present, If you will. I’ll give you
Asia Kinar. i'ii nra vm Iwim *•»
umna, i’ll give you 'Ethiopia, Til give you
Italy, I’ll give you Spain, I’ll give you Ger
many, I’ll give you Britain. I’ll give you all
the world.” What a humiliation it must
have been.
Go to-morrow morning and get into an al
tercation with some wretch crawling up
from a gin-cellar in the Fourth Ward, New
York. “No,” you say, “I would not bemeau
myself bv getting in such a contest.” Then
think of what the King of Heaven and
Earth endured when Ho come down and
fought that great wretch of hell, and fought
him in the wilderness and on the top of the
Temple. But I bless God in that triumph
over temptation Christ gives us the assurance
that we shall also triumph. Having Himself
been tempted He is able to succor all those
who are tempted.
In a violent storm at s?a the mate told a
boy—for the rigging had become entangled
in the mast—to go up and right it. A gentle
man standing on the deck said: ‘ Don t send
that boy up. he will be dashed to death.
The mate said: “I know what lam about.”
The boy raised his hat in recognition of the
order, and then rose. hand over
hand, and went to work; and as he
swung in the storm the passengers wrung
their hands and expected to see htmfalL lhe
work done, he came down in safety, and a
Christian man said to him: “Why did you
go down in the forecastle before you went
up?” “Ah,” said the boy, “I went down to
fray. My mother always taught me before
undertook anything great to pray.” “ What
is that you have in your vest?” said the
man. “O, that is the New Testament.” he
said. “I thought I would carry it with me
if I really did go overboard.” How well
that boy was protected! I care not how
great the height or how vast the depth, with
Christ within us, and Christ beneath us,
and Christ above us, and Christ all around
ns, nothing shall befall us in the way of
harm. Christ himself, having been in the
tempest, will deliver all those who put their
trust in him. Blessed be his glorious name
forever.
The third installment paid for our re
demption was the Saviour’s sham trial. I
rail it a sham trial—there has never been any
thing so indecent or unfair in the Tombs
Court of New York, as was witnessed at the
trial of Christ. Why, they hustled Him into '
the court-room at two o’clock in the morn- j
ing. They gave Him no time for counsel, i
They gave Him no opportunity for subpoena- ;
ing witnesses. The ruffiians who were wander- '
ing around through the midnight, of course
I they saw the arrest and went into the court
room. But Jesus's friends were sober men,
were respectable men. and at that hour—two
o’clock in the morning—of course they were
at home asleep. Consequently Christ entered
the court-room with the ruffians. i
Oh, look at Him! No one to speak a word ,
for Him. I lift the lantern until I can look
into His face, and as my heart beats in sym
pathy for this, the best friend the world ever
liad, Himself now utterly friendless, an
officer of the court-room comes up and smites
Him in the mouth, and 1 see the blood steal
ing from gum and lip. Oh, it was a farce
Df a trial, lasting only perhaps an
hour, and then the judge rises for the sen
tence! It is against the law to give sentence
unless there has been an adjournment of the
:ourt between condemnation and sentence;
but what cares this judge for the law ? “Tfie
man has no friends —let him die,” says the
udge, and the ruffians outside the rail cry:
‘‘Aha! aha! that's what we want
- His blood. Hand hnn out here to
as. Away with Him! Away with Him!”
Dh I bless God, that amid all the injustice
that may be inflicted upon us in this world
tve have a divine sympathizer. The world
rannot lie about you, nor abuse you as much
as they did Christ, and Jems stands
io-dav in every court room, in every
home* in every store, and says:
“Courage! By all my hours of
maltreatment and abuse, I will protect those
who are trampled on.” And when Christ
forgets that two o’clock morning scene, and
the stroke of the ruffian on the mouth, and
the howling of the unwashed crowd, then He
will forget you and me in the injustices of
life that may be inflicted upon us.
Some of you want deliverance from your
troubles, God knows you have enough of
them. Physical troubles; domestic troubles;
spiritual troubles; financial troubles You
have been gathering them up, some perhaps
for five, or six, or seven years, and you have
divided them into two classes: Those you can
talk about and those you cannot talk about;
and as those griefs are the most grinding
and depressing which you cannot mention
you get condolence for the things you can
speak of, while you get no condolence for the
things that you cannot. In your school days
you learned how to bound the States, and
could tell what rivers and lakes and moun
i tains ran through them. If you were asked
I to-day to bound your worldly estate
you would say it is bounder! on the
| north by trouble, and on the south
!by trouble, and on the east by
trouble, and on the west by trouble, while
rivers of tears and lakes of woe, and moun
tains of disaster run through it. What are
you going to do with your troubles? Why do
you not go the theater and have your mind
absorbed in some tragedy? “Oh,'’ you say,
“everything I havoseen on the boards of the
»tage is tame compared with the tragedy of
my own life!” Well, then, why do you not
50 to your trunks and closets and
gather up all the mementoes of your
departed friends and put them
out of sight, and take down their pictures
from the wall and put in the frame a harvest
scene or some bright and gay spectacle?
“Ah,” you say, “if I should remove all these
mementoes of my departed friends, that
would not take away the killing pictures that
| are hanging in the gallery of my own heart.”
| Well, if that does not help you, why not
plunge into society and try to wash off in
worldly gayetles all these assoilments of the
soul? “Oh,” you say, “ I have tried that!
but how can I hear other children laugh when
my children are silent? How can I see other
happy families when my own happy family
is broken up? Trouble, trouble!” But do
you gain anything by brooding over your
misfortunes, by sitting down in a dark room,
by a comparison of the sweet past with the
bitter present? “ No; that makes things
worse.” But I have to tell you to-day that
the Christ of all sympathy presents Himself.
Is there anybody in this house that can
without sympathy? I do not think I
would live a day without it And yet there
are a great many who seem to get along
without divine sympathy. Their fortune in
the counting-room, or in the store, or in
the insurance company, takes wings and flies
away. They button up a penniless pocket.
They sit down in penury where once
they had affluence, and yet there is
no Jesus to stand by them and say:
“Oh, man, there are tHosures that never
fail, in banks that naver break! I will take
care of you. 1 own the cattle on a thousand
hills, and you shall never want,” They have ,
no such divine Saviour to say that to them, j
Ido not know JkoW they get along. Death !
comes to the nailery. One voice less in thi
household. One less fountain of joy and j
laughter. Two bands less to be busj I
ail day. Two feet less to bound
through the hall. Shadow after shadow
following through that household, yet no
Jesus to stand there and say: “I am the
shepherd. That lamb is not lost I took it ofl
the cold mountains. All’s well.” Oh, can
you tell me the mystery? Can you solve it?
Tell me how it is that men and women with
aches, and pains, and sorrows, and losses,
and exasperations, and liereavernent*. can
fit along without a sympathizing Christ?
cannot understand it
But I come here to say this morning thav
If you really want divine sympathy you can
have it. There are two or three passages of
Scripture that throb with pity and kindnes*
and love “Cast thv burden on the Irord and ,
He will sustain thee.” “Come unto ile all I
ye who are wearv and heavy laden and I ;
will give you rest.” Ob, there are green pas
tures where the Heavenly Shenherd leads the ;
lick ami wounded of the flock! When all the
1 other trees of the orchard fail. God has one
; tree of fruit for His dear children. Though
the organ wails out requiem, there comes |
afterward a song, a chant, as anthem, a bat- 1
tie-march, a coronation, a victory. Do you 1
not want the sympathy of Jesus? I offer it
this morning to everv man and woman in
this house: rou need Him. Oh, how much
you need Hun.
Thtre was.a chaplain in the army wounded
death . While lrin* there on the field
at Btara ev a grtai «wauoa «r jeaevea
crying out In (treat pain: Oh. my Goal
And he raid to himralf: “I »m dying, bat 1
think, perhaps, I could help that man. Al
though I can’t walk I’ll just roll over to
where he la” So he rolled over in his own
blood, and over the bodies of the slain, and
rolled on until he came to where the other
man was dying, and put, as it were, hii
wound against that wound, and his sorrow
against that sorrow, and helped to alleviate
it. And so it seems to me that Jesus Christ
hears the groan of our sorrow, the groan o!
our poverty, the groan of our wretch
edness, and comes to the relief.
He comes rolling over sin and
sorrow to the place where we ii«
on the battlefield, and He puts over us thi
arm of His everlasting love; and I see tha*
arm and hand are wounded; and as He puti
that arm over us I can hear him say: “Ihar
loved thee with an everlasting love.” Ol
that you might feel this morning the powei
and condolence of a sympathizing Jesus!
Further, I remark* The last great instal
ment paid for our redemption was the de
mise of Christ. The world has seen many
dark daya About fifteen summers ago
there was a very dark day when the sun
was eclipsed. The fowl at noonday went to
their perch, and we felt a gloom as we
looked at the astronomical wonder. It
was a dark day in London when the
plague was at its height, and the dead
with uncovered faces were taken in open
carts, and dumped in the trenchea It was
a dark day when the earth opened, and Lis
bon sank: but the darkest day since the cre
ation of the world was the day when the
carnage of Calvary was enacted. It was
about noon when the curtain began to be
drawn. It was not the coming on of a
night that soothes and refre3hes: it was
the swinging of a great gloom ail
around the heavens. Goa hung it. As when
there is a dead one in the house you bow the
shutters or turn the lattice, so God in the af
ternoon shut the windows of the world. As
it is appropriate to throw a black pall upon
the coffin as it passes along, so it was appro
priate that everything should be sombre that
day as the great hearse of the earth rolled on,
bearing the corpse of the King.
A man’s last hours are ordinarily kept
sacred. However you may have hated or
caricatured a man, when you hear he is dying
silence puts its hand on vour lips, and you
would nave a loathing for the man who
could stand by a death-bed making faces
and scoffing. But Christ in His last
hour cannot be left alone. What!
pursuing Him yet after so long a pursuit?
You have been drinking His tears, do you
wan! to drink his blood? They came up
closely, so that, notwithstandin * the dark
ness, they can glut their revenge with the
contortions of his countenance. They exam
ine his feet They want to feel lor them
selves whether those feet are really spiked.
They put out their hands and touch the
spikes, and bring them back wet with blood,
and wipe them on their garments.
Women stand there and weep, but can do
no good. It is no place for tender-hearted wo
men. It wants a heart that crime has turned
into granite. The waves of man’s hatred
and of hell’s vengeance dash up against
the mangled feet, and the hands of sin and
pain and torture clutch for His holy heart
Had He not been thoroughly fastened to the
cross they would have torn Him down and
trampled Him with both feet How the
cavalry horses arched their necks, and
champed their bits, and reared and snuffed
at the blood. Had a Roman officer called
out tor a light his voice would not have been
heard in the tumult; but louder than the
clash of the spears, and the wailing of
womanhood, and the neighing of the charg
ers, and the bellowing of the crucifiera,
there comes a voice crashing through, loud,
clear, overwhelming, terrific. It is the groan
of the dying Son of God. Look! What a
icene! Look, oh world, at what yon bfcve
done! I lift the covering from that mal
treated Christ to let you count the wounds
and estimate the cost. Oh. when the nails
went through Christ’s right hand and
Christ’s left hand—that brought both your
hands with all their power to work, and
lift, and write. When the nail went
through Christ's right foot and Christ’s
left foot—that bought your feet, with all
their power to walk, or run, or climb.
When the thorn went into Christ’s temple—
that bought your brain with all its power to
think and plan. When the spear cleft
Christ’s side—that bought your heart with
nil its power to love, and repent, and pray.
Oh, sinner, come back!
If a man is in no pain, if he is propered, if
he is well, and he asks you to come, you take
vour time and you say: “I can't come now.
I’ll come after awhile. There is no haste.”
But if he is in want and trouble you say: “I
must go right away. I must go now.” To
day Jesus stretches out before you two
wounded bauds, and He begs you to come.
Go and you live. Stay away and you die.
Oh, that to Him who bought us, we might
give all our time, and all our prayers, and all
our successes! I would we could think
of nothing else, that we could do nothing
else but come to Christ. He is so fair, He is
so loving, He is so sympathizing, He is so
good, I wish we could put our arms around
His neck and say: “Thine, Lord, will I be
forever.” Oh, that to-day you would begin
to love Him! Would that I could talcs this
audience and wreathe it around the heart tl
my Lord Jesus Christ.
When, in lUGS, the Atlantic cable was lost,
do you remember that the Great Eastern and
the Medway and the Albany went out to find
it? Thirty times t hey sank the grapple two
and a half miles deep iu the water. After
awhile they found the cable and brought it
to the surface. No sooner had it been brought
to the surface than they lifted a shout of ex
ultation, but the cable slipped back again into
the water and was lost. Then lor two
weeks more they swept the sea with the
grappling hooks, and at last they found the
cable and they brought it up in silence.
They fastened it this tune. Then with great
excitement they took one end of the cable to
the electricians’ room to see if there
were really any life in it, and when
they saw a spark and knew that a
message could be sent, then every
hat was lifted, and the rockets flew, and
•he guns sounded until all the vessels on th«
expedition knew the work was done, and thi
continents wore lashed together. Well, my
friends, Sabbath after Sabbath, we havi
come searching down for your soul. W«
have swept the sea with the grappling
kook of Christ’s gospel. Again and again
we have thought you were at the surface, and
began to rejoice over your redemption; bu
nt the moment of our gladness yousank back
again into the worla aud back again iote
sin. To-day we come with this Gospel search
ing for your soul. We apply the cross of
Christ first to see whether there is any life
left in you, while all around the people stand,
] looking to see whether the work will bedonct
j and theangelsof God bend down and witness,
! and oh. if now we could see only one spark of
love, and hope, and faith, we would send up
; a shout that would he heard on the battle
! meats of heaven, and two worlds would keep
jubilee because communication is open be
tween Christ and the soul, and your nature
that has been sunken in thadeeD sea of sin
has been lifted into the light and the joy of
the Gospel!
Tlio Sun Going Gnt.
Sir W. Thomson, who i§ in many re
spects the most sensational of all our
scientists, has declared at the royal in
stitution that the sun is going out at the
rate of thirty-five metres a year. In 2,-
000 years its radius would be 100 per
| cent, less than at present, and in 10,000,-
; 000 ycats it will have shrunken much
that life will be impossible Mm thii
planet. As this puts the extinction ol
the race at a date beyond our time, this
prophecy will probably attract less atten
tion than Sir William’s calculation that
j the sun cannot have existed more than
| 20,000,000 years. This, if correct, would
be a staggering blow to many received
evolutionary theories which requirt
much more elbow room than a psltrj
twenty millions of years. —PaMfail Oa

* Thisbetog a scientific fact, it (mly
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
If this poison is not removed, it ruins every
organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver be
come inactive, we know it at once, butother
organs help them out. If the kidneys become
constipated and dormant, the warning comes
later on, and often when it is too late, be

medical men of the present day
hold what was a fact twenty years ago, that
kidney disease is incurable, a cording to the
medicines authorized by their code. Hence,
they ignore the original cause of disease it
self, and give their attention to useless treat
ing of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine, mor
phine, or with salts and other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease,
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with inflammation, ulceration and decay, and
the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart,passes through the kidneys.
If the kidneys are diseased, the blood soaks up
this disease and takes it all through the sys
tem. Hence it is, that the claim is made that
Warner’s safe cure, the only known spe
cific for kidney diseases, cures 90 per cent
of human ailments, localise it, and it alone,
is able to maintain the natural activity of the
kidneys, and to neutralize and remove the
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
formed. . . ..
If this acid is not removed, there is inactiv
ity of the kidneys, and there will be produced
in the system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspep
sia, consumption, heart disease, headache-,
rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency and all
the nameless diseases of delicate women. If
the poisonous matter is separated from the
blood, as fast as it is formed, these diseases,
in a majority of cases, would not exist.
It only requires a particle of small-pox
virus to produce that vile disease, and the
poisonous matter from the kidneys, passing
all through the system and becoming lodged
at different weak points, is equally destruc
tive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood passing
through them goes to the heart and lungs and
other parts of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it. all would believe with
out hesitation what has so often been stated
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs m the
body.’
They may regard this article as an adver
tisement and refuse to believe it, but that is
a matter over which we have no control.
Careful investigation and science itself are

Queen Victoria's Lon? Reign.
In the thousand and sixty years which
have elapsed since Egbert was made
King of all England, there has been but
three occupants of the throne whose
reignßhave been f o prolonged as that of
Queen Victoria. But her majesty will,
in the course of this year," have reigned,
in one sense, longer than any English
sovereign; for of the three kings whose
reigns will have exceeded her’s at the
Jubilee celebration, in June next, not
ouc actually ruled for so long a period as
fifty years. King Henry 111. was
crowned on the death of King John in
1216, but the regency was intrusted to
the Earl of Pembroke, and it was not
until 1222 that the king was declared of
age. King Edward 111. succeeded to
the throne on the deposition of his father
; in 1327; but it was not until 1330 that
* he assumed the government, so that he
only ruled from that date to his death in
[ 1377—forty-seven years. King George
! 111. practically ceased to reign six weeks
} after the completion of his fifty years’
■ reign; but if we except the period dur
| ing which his former rm ntal affliction
J lasted—namely, from the beginning of
i November, until the following
i February—his majesty’s actual rule fell
[ below the period of fifty years.— London
