REV. DR. Mm The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun day Sermon. Subject: "Tltnfeito the Troth of Chris tianity." (Preached at IIish Bridge, Ky. Text: " r are icitnes's.nActs ill.. 1". Standing amid the Lillsand groves of Ken tucky, and beforo this jrrt-at multitude that Act man can number, most of whom I never saw before and never will ( again in thi. world, I chaise a very practical theme. In the days of fieorire Su-puenhon, the p!rfector cf the locomotive engine, the (scientists proved conclusively th.it a railroad train could never be driven by staru power suc cessfully without peril; but the ruh'n ex press trains from Liverpool to Edinburgh, raid from Edinburgh to Ixndon, have ma Jo all the natiou witnesses of tho epiendid achievement. Machinists and navigators proved conclu sively that a steamer o.ili nevr cms 3 the Atlantic,' hut i no sooner ha1 they euc.-esb-fully proved the lmposifihty of such an un dertaking than the work was done, and the passengers on the Cunard, and the Inmau, and the National, and the Wnito Star line. are witness. There went up a piflaw of wise Laughter at Professor Morse's proposi tion to make tlie lightning of heaven his er rand boy, and it was proved conclusively that the thine could never be done; but now all the news of the wid world put in vour bands every morning and night nas made all nations witnesses. Bo in the time of Christ it was proved con clusively that it was impossible for Him to rise from the dead. It was shown logically that when a man wr.n dead he was oetd, and the heart, and the. livtr, an 1 the lungs'hav in ceased to perform th'lr oflcrS, the limbs would be rijid beyond all power of irictioa or nrousal. They showed it to be an abso lute absurdity that the dead Christ should ever et up alive; but no sooner hud they proved this than the deal Christ nrose, and the disciples lieheid Him, h"ard His voice, and talked with Him, arid they took the wit ness stan 1 to nrovo that to be true which the wiseacres of the day had proved to he impos sible; the record of the experiment and of the testimony is in the ttxi: "Him hath God raised irom the dead, whereof we are witnesses." Now let me play the skeptic for a moment. 'There is no Cod," says ttte skeptic, "for I heve uever seen Him with my piiysical eye sight. Your" ilibleis a pack of contradic tions. There never wis a miracle. Lazarus was not raif d from the lead, and the water was never turned into wine. Your religion Is an imposit.on on the credulity of the ages." There is an aed man moving In tliat jew as though he would like to r?--pond. . llreare hundreds of pcopie with faces a little flushed nt thfse announcements, anl ail through this throng thv'ro is a suppressed feelinc; which would like to speak out in behalf of the truth of our glorious Cliristiauity. as in the days of tne text, crying out, '"We are Witness" T' ' The fact is that If thi world is ever brought to God it will not be through argu ment, but through testimony. You miht cover the whole eHrth with apologies for Christianity and learnod treatises in defence of reii'ioii jou woulil net convert a soul. Lectures on the harmony between science and religion "ure beautiful mental discipline, but have nev-r saved a soul and never will save a soul. 1'ut a man of the world and a man of tiie church against each other, and the man of the world will, in all probability, pet the triumph. There are a thousand things jn our religion that seem illogical to the world, and always will seem illogical. Our weapon in this conflict is faith, not logic; faith, not metaphysics; faith, not profundity; faith, not nchofastic exploration. lJut then, in order to have faith we must hare testimony, and if five hundred men, or one thousand men, or live hundred thousand men, or live million men get up and tell me that they have Telt the religion, of Jesus Christ a joy, a comfort, a help, an inspira tion, I am bound, m a fair-minded man, to accept their testimony. 1 want to put be fore yui three propositions the truth of which I think this audience will attest with overwhelming unanimity. The first propo sition is: We are witnesses that the religion of Christ is able to cocvert-asoul. The li-os-pel ma have had a hard time to conquer us. we may have lought it back, but we were vauquisbed. You say conversion is only an imaginary thing. Ve know better. "We are witnesses." There never wes so great a" change in our heart and life on any other subject as on this. l'eople laughed at tho mi"sionaries in Mad agascar because they pretiched tea years without one couvcrt; but there ara many thousands of converts in Madagascar to day, l'eople laughed at Dr. Judsou, the Baptist missituiary, because he kept ou preaching in liurmah five years without a single convert; but there are many thou fsands of Baptists in Burmah to-day. IVopie laughed at Dr. Morrison in China for preach ing there seven years without a single con version; but there are inauv thousands of Christians in China to-day. Veople laughed at the missionaries for prracamg at Tahiti for fifteen years without a single cn version, and at tho missionaries for preaching in Beu gal seventeen years without a single conver sion; yet in all those lands there ar multi tudes of Christians to-day. But why go so far to find evidences of the Gospel's power to save a soul? "We are wit nesses." We were &o prou i that no man could have humbled u; we were so hard that no earthly power could have melted us, Ange!s of God were all around about us; they could not overcome us; but one day, prhap at a Methodist anxious sat or at a Presby terian caU-cueticU lecture or at a burial or on horscKie:--, a pover seSre-i us aui made us Eet dovvu and 'made us treaible and made us luvl and made us cry for mercy, and we tril to wrench o'aiseives away from the grasp, but we cotud not. ' It flung us flat, and when we aro-e we were as much change! a.Gur;is the heathen, wuo went into a prayer meet in.; witii a ia.rtr and a gun. to disturb ;h me-ti.ic and destroy it, but the . next day was fuund crying: Oh, mv grvnt pins!

What pKXr advice' Get your 'mind off it! when everything is upturced witb the bereavement, and everything re- , minds you of what you have lost. ' Get your mind off it! They might as well advise, you to stop thinking, an l you cannot stop think ing in that iirectiou. Take a walk la the fres-hair! "Why. along that very street, or that very road, she once accompaniM you. Out of that grass plot she plucked flowers, or into that sho iv window she locked fasci nated, paying, "Come,see fhe pictures." Go deeper into business! "Why, she was asso ciated with all your business ambitions, and since she has gone you have no ambition left. Oh. this is a clumsy worli wueu it tries to comfort a broken heart! I can build a Corliss eugine, I caa paint a Raphael's "Madonna." I can play a Beetho ven's symphony as easily as this world can comfort a broken heart. And yet -ou have been comforted. Ho was it done? Did Christ come to you and say; "Get yourmin 1 off this. Go out and breathe the fresh air. Plunge deeper into business"' No. There was a minute when He came to you per haps in the watches of the uight, perhaps in your place of busiaess, perliaps along the . street and He breathed something into your ' soul tliat gave peace, rest, infinite quiet, so that you could take out the photograph of the departed one and look into the eyes and the t ace of the dear one and say : "It is all right. She is better off. I would not call her back. Lord, I thank Thee that Thou has comforted my poor heart.'' 1 There are Christian parents here who are willing to testify to the power of this Gospel to comfort. our sou had just graduated from school or college aad was going into business, and the Lord took him. Or your daughter had just graduated from the young ladies' seminar', and you thought she was going to be a useful woman and of long life, but the Lord took her, and you were tempted to say, "All this culturd of twenty years for nothing f Or the little child came home from school with the hot fever that stopped not lor the agonized prayer or for the skill lul physician, and the little child was taken. Or the babe was lifted out of your arms by some quick epidemic, and you stood wonder ing way God ever gave you that child at all if so soon He was to take it away. And yet you are not repining, you are not fretful, you are not fighting against God. What enabled you to stand all the trial? "Oh," you say, "I took the medicine that God gave my sick soul. In my distress I threw rnyeclf at the feet of a sympathizing God ; and when I was too weak to pray or ta look up He breathe i iato me a peace "that 1 think must be the foretaste of that heaven where there is neither a t-'ar nor a farewell nor a grave." Come, all ye w.io have been out to the grave to weep there iome, nil ye comforted sou s, get up oil your kn-es. Is there no power iu this Gospei to soothe the heart? Is there no power in this religion to quiet the worst paroxysm of grief? There comes up an anwer from oomfortyl widow hood and orphan igo and childlessness, spy ing, "Ay, ay, we are witness!" Again, I remark that we are witness ?s of the fact that religion has power to give composure iu the last moment. I shall never forcet the first time I confronted death. We went across the cornfields iutne country. I was lad by my father's hand, and we came to the furuiiiou.se where the be reavement had come and we s-iw the crowd of wagons and carriages; but there was cue carriage that especially attracted my boyish attention, and it had bine piumes. "I said: "What's that? whafs that? Whv thoe b!ack tassels at the top?" And after it was explained to me I was lifted up to look upon the bright face of ai azed Christian womau, who thrve days before had departed iu tri umph. The whole sceue made an ixnpreosiou I never forgot. In our sermons and our lay exhortations we are very apt, when wo want to bring il lustrations of dyiug triumph, to go bick to some distinguished Dersoaage o a John Knox or a Harriet Newoil. But I want you for witness?. I want to know it' you have ever seen anything to make you believe that the religion of Christ oaa give composure m the final hour. Now, in the courts, atvomy, jury and juoge will never a i nit mere here say. Tuey demand thnt tue witness mat have seen with his own eyes, or heard with his own ears, aud so I am critical in my ex amination of yon now, and I want to Know whether you heve seen or heard anything that mak-es vou believe that the religion ol Christ gives eomp.ure in the final hour. "Oh, yes," you s-ty, 'i saw my father and mother depart. There was a great differ enci in their death b Is. Standing by the one we felt more veneration. By tho other, there was more ten h-rnew.'' Before the one you bowed perhaps, in awe. In the other CAs ycu felt as it you would lueto go alon. with her. How did they feel in' that - last hour? How did they seem to act? Were they very much f rightened? Did they take hold of this world with both hands as though they did not w.uit to give It up? "On, no," you say; "no; I remember as though it were yesterday jshe had a kind word for us-ai!, and there were a few mementoes distributed among the children, and then she t:ld us how kind we must be to our father iu his loneli ness, and tneu she kissed us goodbv uni went asleep as a child in a cradle.

Ther gave back the plunder. He was a scholar of Pla to, and it was do play to be under that old master. Demosthenes was cf rather eccentric character. Getting disgusted with the open manner in which they built their roofs in Greece at that time, he moved into a cave and lived there for some ttme, pondering on the condition cf the couu try, and the tariil question. He linally gave up cave dwelling, after he had caught rheumatism, and went back to public life, tilling at one time and an other all the cilices from pound-master to alderman. When (ireece got into a war with Philip of Macedon, Demofcthenes wa one of the hrst to call out sic "em. being the Latin for "pitch in. boys.
