Indeed, history tells us that there were cases where men came up and only had strength just to grasp the goal and then fall dead. Now, says this apost le, making allusion to those very games, we are all to run the race, not to crawl it, tot to walk it but 'Tun the race set before us, looking unto Jesus," and just as in the olden times, a roan would stand at the end t of the road with a beautiful garland that was to be put around the head or brow of the successful racer, so the Lord Jesus Christ stands at the end of the Christian race with the garland of eternal life, and may God grant that by His holy spirit we may so run as to obtain. The distinguished Welliston, the chemist, wa3 asked where his laboratory was, and the Inquirers expected to be shown somo large apartment filled with very expeusivc appara tus; but Welliston ordered his servant to .bring on a tray a few glasses and a retort, nd be said to the inquirers: 'That is all my laboratory. I make all my experiments with those." Sow. I know that there are a great man j who take a whole library to express their 'theology. They have so many theories on ten thousand things; but I have to say that all niy theology is compassed in these three words ; ' Looking unto Jesus," and when wo can understand the height and the depth and the length and the breadth and the infinity and : me immensity or mat passage we can under stand all. , I remark in the first place, we must look to Christ as our personal Saviour. Now, you know as well as I, that man is only a blasted ruin of what he once was. There is not so much difference between a vessel coming out of Liverpool harbor, with pennants flying and the deck crowded with good cheer, and the guns booming, and that same vessel driv ing against Long Island coast, the drowning passengers ground to pieces amid the timbers of the broken up steamer, as there is be tween man as he camo from the hands of God, equipped for a grand and glori ous voyage, but .afterward, through the pilotage of the devil, tossed and driven and crushed", the coast of the near future strewn with the fragments of an awful and eternal shipwreck. Our body is wrong. How , easily It is ransacked of disease. Our mind is wrong. ' How hard it is to remember, and how easily to forget The whole nature dis ordered, from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot wounds, bruises, putrefying sores. "All have sinned and come snort of the glory of God." "By one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, ATlfi i BA Hsvaf.H hfle nn., nil men for that all have sinned.' There is in Brazil a plant they call tho "murderer," for the simple reason that it is so poisonous it kills almost everything it touches. It begins to wind around tho root of the tree, and coming up to the branches reaches out to the ends of the branches, killing the tree as it goes along. When it has come to the tip end of the branch the tree is dead. Its seed fall to the ground and start other plants just as murderous. , ' And so it is with sin. It is a poisonous plant that was planted in our soul a long while ago, and it comes winding about the body and the mind and the soul, poisoning, poisoning, poisoning killing, killing, killing as it goes. Now, there would be no need of my discoursing upon this if there were no way of plucking out that plant. It is a most inconsiderate thing for me to come to a man who is in financial tiouble and enlarge upon his trouble if I have no alleviation to offer. It is an unfair thing for me to come to a man who is sick and enlarge upon his disease if I have no 'emedy to offer. But I have a right to come to a man in financial distress or physical distress if I have financial re-enforcement to offer or a sure cure to propose. Blessed be God that among the mountains of ur sin there rolls and reverbrates a song of salvation. Louder than all the voices of bondage is the trumpet of God's deliverance, founding. "Oh, Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself, but in Me is thy help." At tho barred gates of our dungeon, the conqueror knocks and the hinges creak and grind at the swinging open. The famine struck pick up the manna that falls in the wilderness and . the floods clap their hands, saying: ."Drink, oh thirsty soul, and live for ever," and the feet that were torn and deep cut on the rocky bridle path of sin now come into a smooth place, and the dry alders crackle as the panting hart breaks through to tho water brooks, nn1 frid fart!- Ttirrltf i Via cnul fuffrine t crow gray with the morning, yea to purple, yea to flame, from horizon to norison. me turneries or temptation sil enced. Troubles that fought against us captured and made to fight on our side. Not as a result of any toil or trouble on our part, but only as a result of "Looking unto Jesus." "But what do you mean by "'Look ing unto Jesusf " some one inquires. I mean faith. "What do you mean by faith?" I mean believing. "What do you moan by believing?" I mean this: If you promise to do a certain thing for me, and I have con- fklenco in your veracity if you say you will give me such a thing and I need it very raudi, I come in confidence that you are an . honest man aud will do what you Bay. Now, ' the Lord Jesus Christ 6ays: "You are iu need of pardon and life and heaven, you can bave tnem if you come and get them." You aayj "I can't come and ask first. I am afraid You won't trim it tn mtv" - Then you are unbelieving. But you say: "I will come and ask. I know, Lord Jesus, Thou art in earnest about this matter. I - come asking for pardon. Thou hast prom ised to give it to me, Thou wilt give it to me, Thou hast given it to me." That is faith. Do you see it yet? "Oh," savs some ono, "I , can t understand it." No man over did, without divine help. Faith is the gift of God. You say: "That throws the responsi bility off my shoulders." No. Faith is the gift of God, but it comes in answer to prayer. . , ', ' All over plortous Id my Lord - ' He niu.it foe loved aud yet adored; Ills worth i. -.. ihe nations know, ;.. a Sure the whole earth would love Him, too.

If a painter go to a portfolio or a gallery of art, however ex quisite, to get bis idea of the natural world from these pictures, he will not succeed as well as the artist who starts out and dashes the dew from the grass and sees the morning jmt as God built it in the clouds, or poured it - rpou the mountain, or kindled it upon the sen. Ixp1e wondered why Turner, the famous English painter, succeeded so well in sketching a storm upon the ocean. It remained a wonder until it wns found out that several times he had boon lashed to the deck in the midst of a tempest and then looked out upon the wrath of the sea, and coming home to his studio, he pic tured t he tempest. It is not the oopvist who Mictwta, but. tlw man who confronts the natnrnl tvorlti. ho if a man in literary coru jinwU'Mi rc' lvpg that ho will imitate tho wi(OMt,n"-s (f VI lison, or the merged vior f ("rrh I t-r x'0. weirwlness of fmraw. nr U:7 i "-'vie of Ralph Waldo F.nrr- or), i. , ; Lot succeed as well us that man who cultures lii own na tural style. What is true in this respect s is true in respect to char acter. There were men who were fascinated with Lord Byron. lie was lame and wore a very large collar. Then there were tens of thousands of men who resolved that they would be just liko Lord Bvron, .and they limped and wore large collars, but they did not have any of his genius. You cannot suc cessfully copy a man whether ho is bad or good. You may take the very best man that ever lived and try and live like him, and you win mate a failure. There never was a better man than Edward Pavson. Manv have read his biography, not understanding that ho was a sick man, and they thought they were growing in grace because they wore growing liko him in depression of spirit. There were men to codv Cowner. the poot, a glorious roan, but sometimes afllicted with melancholy almost to insanity. The copyists got Cowper's faults but none of his virtues. There never was but one Being fit to copy. A few centuries ago He came out through humble surroundings, and with a gaitand man ner and behavior different from anything the world had seen. Among all classes of people Ho was a perfect model. Among fishermen, He showed how fishermen should act. Among taxgatherers, He showed how taxgatherers should act Among lawyers, He showed how lawyers should act. Among farmers He showed how farmers should act. Among rulers, He showed how rulers should act. Critics tried to find in His conversation or sermons some thing unwise or unkind or inacculate: but they never found it. They watched Him, oh how they watched Him ! He never went into a house but they knew it, and they knew how loner Ho staved, and when He came out and whether He had wine for dinner. Slander twisted her whips and wagged her poisoned tongue anu set ner traps, out could not catch Him. Little children rushed out to get from Him a kiss, and old men tottered out to the street corner to see Him pass. Do you want an illustration of devotion. behold Him whole nijjhts in prayer. Do vou want an example of suffering, 6ee His path across Palestine tracked with blood. Do you want an example of patience, see Him abused and never giving one sharp retort. Do you want an example of industry, see Him with out one idle moment. Do you want a speci men of sacrifice, look at His life of self de nial, His death of ignominy, His sepulcher of humiliation. Oh what an example! His feet wounded, vet He submitted to t.hn -ioiirnpv His back lacerated, and yet He carried tho cross. Struck, Ho never struck back again. tonaemnei, yet no rose nigher than His calumniators, and with wounds in His hand and wounds in His feet and wounds on His brow and wounds in His side. He ejaculated : "Father forgive thorn, they know not what they do." Ah, my brethren, that is the polo by which to set your compass, that is tho headland by which to steer, tuat is tue ngne Dy which to kindle your lamps, that is the example that wo ought all to follow. How it would smooth out the roughness in our disposition, and tho world would be impressed by the trans formation and would say: "I know what is tho matter with that man, he has been with Jesus and has learned of-Him. Alexander was going along with his army in Persia and the snow and ice were so groat that the army halted and said: "We cau't march any further." Then Alexander dis mounted from his horse, took a pickax, went ahead of his army and struck' into tho ice and snow. The soldiers said: "If he can do that we can do it," and they took their picks and soon the way was cleared and the army marched on. So our Lord dismounted from His glory, and through all icy obstacles hews a oath for Himself and a path for us, saying: "follow Me! I do not ask you to go through any suffering, or fight any battles where I do not lead the way ! Follow Me !" Again I remark, that we are to look to Christ as a sympathizer. Is there anybody in the house to-day who does not want sym pathy? I do rot know how any one can live without sympathy. There are those, how ever, who havo gone through very rough paths in lif o who had no divine arm to lean on. How they got along I do not exactly know. Their fortunes took wings in somo unfortunate investment and flew away. The bank failed and they buttoned np a penniless pocket. Ruthless speculators carried off tho fragments of an estate they were twenty fivo years in getting with hard work. How did they stand it without Christ? Death came into the nursery and thoro was an empty crib. One voico less in the house hold. One. fountain less of joy and laughter. Two hands less, busy all day long in sport. Two feet less to go bounding and romping through the hall. Two eyes less to beam with love and gladness. Through all that house shadow after shadow, shadow after shadow until it was midnight. How did they get through it? I do not know. They trudged the great Sahara with no water in the goat skins. They plunged to their chin in the slough of despond and had no one to lift them. In an unseaworthy craft they put out into a black Euroclydon. My brother, my sister, there is a balm that cures the worst wound. There is a light that will kindle up the worst darkness. There is a harbor from tho roughest ocean. You need and may have the Saviour's sympathy. You cannot get on this way. I see your trouble is wearing you out body and mind and soul. I come on no fool's errand to-day. I come with a balm that can heal any wound. Are you sick? Jesus was sick. Are you weary? Jesus was weary. Are you persecuted? Jesus was persecuted. Are you bereaved? Did not Jesus weep over Lazarus? Oh, yes, like a roe on the mount ains of Bether Jesus comes bounding to your soul to-day. There is not one passage of Scripture, every word of which is a ueart throb: "Uome unto me, all ye who are eood: iast my He will sustain thee." Oh, there are groen pastures where the heavenly shepherd leads the wounded and sick of the flock. The Son of God stands by the tomb of Laza rus and will gloriously break it open at the right time, Genesaret cannot toss its waves so high that Christ cannot walk them. Tho cruso of oil will multiply into an illimitable supply. After, the orchard seems to havo been robbed of all its fruit, the Lord has ono tree lert, full of golden and ripo supply. The requiem may waii with gloom and with death ; but there comeih after a while a song, a chant, an anthem, a battle march, a jubilee, a coronation. Oh, do you not feel the breath of Christ's sympathy now, you wounded ones, you troubled ones? If you do not, I would like to tell you of the chaplain in the army who was wounded so he could not walk, but he heard at a distance among the dying a man who said : "Oh, my God !" He said to himself: "I must help that man though I can't walk." So he rolled over and rolled through his own blood and rolled on over many of the slain, until he come where this poor fellow was suffering and he preached to him the comfort of the Gospel, and with his own wound he seemed to soothe that man's wound. It was sympathy going out to ward an object most necessitous, and one that he could easily understand. And so it is with Christ, though wounded all ever Himself, He hears the cry of our repentance, the cry of our bereav ment. the cry of our poverty, the cry of our wretchedness, and He savs: "I must go and help that soul," and He rolls over with wounds in head, wounds in hands, wounds in feet, toward us, until He comes just where we are weltering ia our own blood, and He puts His arm over us and I see it is a wounded arm, and it is a wounded hand and as He throws His arm over us I hear Him say: "I have loved thee with an everlast ing love." Again, we must look to Christ as our final rescue. We cannot with these eyes, however good our sight may be, catch a glimpse of the heavenly land for which our souls long. But I have no more doubt that beyond the cold river there is a place of glory and of rest, than we have that across the Atlantic Ocean there is another continent. But tho heavenly land and this land stand in mighty contrast. This is barrennfss and tbatvver dure. These shallow ftrams if earth Which a thirsty ox miht drink dry, or a mule's hoof trample into wiro, compared with the bright, crjstalii.-.e riv.r from under the throne, on the banks of which river the ar mies of heaven may rest, and into whose clear flood the trees of life dip their branches, These instruments of earthly music, so easily racked into discord, compared with tho harps that thrill with eternal raptures, and the trumpets that are so musical that they wake the dead. Those streets along which we go panting in summer heat or shivering in winter's cold, and the poor man carries his burden and the vagrant asks for alms, and along which shuffle the feet of pain and want and woe, compared with those streets that sound forever with the feet of joy and holi ness, and those walls made out of all manner of precious stones, the light intershot with re flections from jasper and chrysolite and topaz and sardonyx and beryl and emerald and chrysoprasus. Oh, the contrast between this world, where wo struggle with temptation that will not be conqtiered, and that world where it is per fect joy, perfect holiness aud perfect rest! Said a little blind child: "Mamma, will I be blind in heaven?" "Oh, no, my dear," replied the mother, "yon won't be blind iu heaven." A little lame child said : "Mamma, will I bo lame in heaven f "No," she replied, "yon won't be lame In heaven." Why, when the plainest Christian pilgrim arrives at the heaveuly gate it opens to him, and as the angels come down to escort him in, and they spread the banquet, and they keep festival over the august arrival, ana Jesus comes with a crown and sajrs: "Wear this," and With a palm and says: "Wave this," and points to a throne and says: - 'Mount this." Then the old utizons of Aenven come around to hear the newcomer's recital of deliverance wrought for him, and as the newly arrived soul tells of the grace that pardoned and the mercy that saved him, all the inhabitants shout the praiso of the King, crying: "Praise Him! Praise Him!" Quaint John Bunyan caught a glimpse of that consummation when he said: "Just as the gates were opened to let in the man, I looked in after them, and behold the city shone like the sun: tho streets were also paved with gold and in them walked many men with crowns on their heads, and golden harps to sing praises withal. And after that they shut up tho gates, which when I had seen I wished myself among them." DR. TAiJlAGE'S APPEAL FOR AID. On the morning of the day on which the foregoing sermon was to have been delivered by Dr. Talmage, his church, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was completely destroyed by fire. Dr. Talmage has issued the following appeal for aid to all his friends throughout Christendom : To the People: By a sudden calamity we are without a church. The building associated with so much that is dear to us is in ashes. , In be half of my stricken congregation I make ap peal for help, as our church has never con fined its work to this locality. Our church has never been sufficient either in size or appointments for the people who come. We want to build something worthy of our city and worthy of the cause of God. We want $100,000, which, added to tho insurance, will build what is needed. I make appeal to all our friends throughout Christendom, to all denominations, to all creeds and those of no creed at all, to come to our assistance. I ask all readers of my sermons in the world over to contribute as far as their means will allow. What wo do as a Church depends upon the immediate response made to this call. I was on the eve of my departure for a brief visit to the Holy Land, that I might be better prepared for my work here, but that visit must be postponed. I cannot leave until something is done to decide our future. May the God who has our destiny as individuals and churches in His hand appear for our de liverance. Response to this appeal to the people may be sent to me. "Brooklyn, N.Y." and I will, with my own hands, acknowledge the receipt thereof. T. Du Witt Talmage. A TABERNACLE IN ASHES. Dr. Talmage's Ulg Church in Brook lyn, New York, Burned. The ffeL"3ous Brooklyn Tabernacle, of which Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage is pastor, was, for the second time in its history totally destryed by fire. At 2. 15 o'clock A M. a policeman discovered fltmM issuing fromthe small win dows over the main entrance, and, rushing to the nearest signal box, ssnt in an alarm. The firemen found the Are had assumed large proportions, aui additional alarms, calling all available apparatus, were at oocj sent in It became evident that the edifice was doom ed. It burned like a tinder box, and the fl . e men, despairing of saving it, directed their efforts to the adjoining property. But while thi tirem ;n and policeworked for the salvation of property and persons, the doomel church buihiing was being rap'dly consumed, and in an hour's time only totter walls remained. Dr. Talmage was on the scene soon after the first alarm, and did not leave until he had seen theedffico, whic i bad been his pride, laid ia ashes. Then he re turned sorrowfully home. All day crowds visited the spot and gazed upon the ruins. The origin of the fire is unknown. The sex ton of the church denies tho rumor that fires had been lighted in the furnaces, and thus exyloies the defective flue theory. Edison's men were in the building until 5 P. M. ar ranging a new electric plant,and it is thought that during the thunder shower which pre vailed during the night lightning had been carried into the building by the wires they introduced and which ran arouod the gallery about on a level with where the flames were first seen. The loss on the church bulldinj, including the organ, which was one of the tinest in the country, is $ 50,000. It is said to be covered by insurance in a number of companies. The building was of fourteenth century Gotbio Hrchitecture, and was dedicated February 22, 1874. It was of brick, with stone trimmings. with a frontage of 150 feet and a depth of 113 feet, to which h"d recently been added an extension 60 feet w de and i2Jdeep. The seat ing capacity was 2,800, and it was always fully taxed at the Sunday services. The pre vious structure, which was built of curru gated iron, was destroyed by lire on Sunday morning, December 23, 1S73, which was also of unexplained origin. The losses on adjoin ing property are small. APPOINTED TO OFFICE. Several Judicial and Internal Reve nue Appointments Made. The President has appointed John 8.

Thurston, the "well-known Republican leader of Nebraska, was stumping the State in an important campaign, says the New York Tribune, he included its extreme western part, then a decid edly wild region, in his cirouit. He was proceeding by stage to Sidney one day when they stopped at a little sta tion to change horses. While this im- Sortant operation was going on, a large, etermined-looking man, whose most conspicuous article of clothing was a big revolver, approached the . stage catitiously, and, while occasionally glancing nervously at a smaU building, some hundred yards away, with a large sign of "postoflice" on it, he inquired for Mr. Thurston. That gentleman made himself known, and thvi stranger said : "You speak down at Sidney to-night, I hear." "Yes, I expect to." "I reckon I'll come down with my partition and do a little work." "What is rour petition for?" in quired the judge. "The postoflice up there," and the man pointed at it with his thumb. "Is there good prospect that you will get it?" "You bet I'm sure of it, but I lowed a few more names wouldn't do no hurt. When I get it there's goin' to be dog gondest biggest change you ever seen in a small place." "How's that?" " Why, I ain't had a letter out o' that air office for over two years." "Why not?" "The dinged critter that has it now ' pays he will shoot me on sight, and you bet he'd do it, too, so I lay mighty low. When a letter comes fer mo he nails it to the door, shoots it full of holes, sends word fer me to come and get it, and watches fer me out o' the winder." 'How comes ho to have such a dis like for you ?" "Claims I stole one of his steers. I didn't touch none of his steers till he' hooked two o' my calves, and I can ' prove it. But jess you wait till my commission gets here and I get bold of that office, ill wad the hrst letter that comes fer him into my shotgun and lire it down the well. Just wait a lit tle, jedge; he'll find that I can pound stamps with one hand and cover the front door with a tix-thooter with the other jess as well as he can. My name is old Jim White, and you bet when I've got my boots on I can tie up the Eastern mail with teeth and hold a gun on the gen'ral deliv'ry and money order winder both at the same time.

A patrolman on Bivard street came along lo a gioeery on his beat about eleven o'clock the other night, and found a large w aterrnelon on the plat form; Mhile, leauing against a post a short distance away, was an aged col ored man. The street was deserted, and the officer could not understand what kept the melon and the negro apart. "Isn't that a temptation to you?" he asked the man. "I dun reckon it is, boss. I'ze bin lookin' at dat mellyun fur de last half hour." "And why didn't you take it ?" "Bekase, sah, I'ze had some 'speri ence wid white folks in my time. Might possibly be dat de grocer dun forgot to take dat mellyun in when he closed up, but it's a good deal mo' pos sibler dat he poured in a dose of jalap an' left it out yere to be walked off wid." "But how are you going to know?" "Dat's what makes my heart ache, boss. If de mellyun ar' all right, den I'ze lost a golden opportunity. Jf it's bin dosed, den I hain't bin played fur a sucker.
