M 1 TALIJA.GR THE IJIlOOIiLTNDI VISE'S SCXDAY ' . SERMON. ' . nnhjeel: "The Holy City." (Preached nt Jernnnlein.) Text: "Jenisnfem, Jerusalem f Matt, fcxiii., 37. Thiti exclamation burst from Christ's lips ' hk He cam in sight of this great city, and, although things have marvelously changed, who oan visit Jerusalem " to-day without having its mighty past roll over on him, and ordinary utterance must give place for the exclamatory as we cry, O Jeru salem, Jerusalem! Disappointed with the Holy Land many have been, and I have heard good friends say that their ardor about sacred places had been so dampened that they were sorrow they ever visited Jerusa lem. K But with me the city and its surround ings are a rapture, a solemnity, an over whelming emotion. O Jerusalem, Jerusa lem! The procession of Kings, conquerors, poets and immortal men and women pass be fore me as I stand Iwre. Among the throng are Solomon, David and Christ. Yes, through these streets and amid these sur roundings rode Solomon, that wonder of bplendor and wretchedness. It eeemed as if th world ; exhausted itself on that man. It wove its brightest flowers into his ' garland. It set its richest gems in his coronet. It pressed the rarest wine to his lips. It robed him in tbe purest purple and embroidery. It cheered him with the sweetest music in that land of harps. It greeted him with tbe gladdest laughter that ever leaped from mirth's lip. It sprinkled his cheek with stray from tbe brightest fountains. Royalty had no dominion, wealth no luxury, gold no glitter, flowers no sweetness, song no melody, light no rediance, upholstery no gorgeovjsness, waters no gleam, birds no plumage, prancing coursers no met tle, architecture no grandeur, but it was all his. Across the thick grass of the lawn, fra grant with tufts of . camphire from Engedi, fell tha long shadows of trees brought from distant forests. Fish pools, fed by artificial channels that brought the streams from hills far away, were perpetually ruffled with fins, and golden scales shot from water cave to water cave with endless dive and swirl, attracting the gaze of foreign potentates. Sirds that had been brought from foreign aviaries glanced and fluttered among tbe foliage, and called to their mates far beyond the sea. From the royal stables there came up the neighing of twelve thousand horses, standing in blankets rf Tyrian purple, chewing their bits over troughs of gold, waiting for the King's order to be brought out in front of the palace when the official dignitaries would leap into the saddle for some grand parade, or, harnessed to some of the fourteen hundred chariots of the King, the fiery chargers with flaunting mane and throbbing nostril would make the earth jar with the tramp of hoofs and tli9 thunder of wheel. While within and with out the palace you could not think of a single )uxury that could be added, or of a single splendor that could be kindled, down on the banks of the sea the dry docks of ' Ezion-geber ; rang with the hammer of the shipwrights" who were con structing larger vessels for a still wider com merce, for all lands and climes were to be robbed to aiake up Solomon's glory. No rest till his keels shall cut every tea, This axmen hew every forest, his archers strike every rare wing, his fishermen whip every stream, his merchant. . trade in every bazaar, his name be honored by every tribe; and royalty shall have no dominion, wealth no luxury, gold no glitter, song no melody, light no radiance, waters no gleam, birds no plumage, prancing coursers no mettle, upholstery no gorgeousness, architecture no grandeur, but it was ail his. "Weu." yeru say, "if there fa any man happy, he ought to be.'. But I hear. him com ing out through the palace and see hin robes actually incrusted with jewels as he stands in the front and looks out upon the vast domain. "What doss he say' King Solomon, great i-i your dominion, great i? your honor, great N your joy? Jfo. While standing here amidst all the splendor, tbe tears start and his heart breaks and he exclaims: "Vanity of vanities; all is vanity." What ! Solomon not happy yet? No, not happy. The honors and the emoluments of this world bring so many cares with them that they bring also torture and disquietude. Pharaoh sits on one of the highest earthly yninences, yet he is miserable because there are. some people in his realm that do not want any longer to make bricks. Tbe head of Edward I aches under his crown because the people will not pay the taxes, and Lleweilyn, Prince of Wales, will not do him homage, and Wallaca will be a hero. Frederick William III, of Prussia, w miserable because France wants to take the Prussian provinces. The world is not large enough for Louis XIV. , and William III. The ghastliest suffering, th most shriveling fear, the most rending jeal ousies, tha ruost gigantic disquietude, have walked amidst obsequious courtiers, and been clothed in royal apparel, and sat on judgment eeatsof power. Honor and truth and justice cannot go so igh up in authority as to be beyond the range of human assault, Tbe pure and good in all ages have been execrated by the mob who cry out: "Not this man, but Barabbas. Now, Barabbas was a robber." By honesty, fcy Christian principle, I would have you eeek for the favor and the confidence of your fellow men; but do not look upon some high position as though that were always sun shine. The mountains of earthly honor are like the mountains of Switzerland, covered with perpetual ice and snow. Having ob tained the confidence and love of your asso Cites, be content with such things as you have. You brought nothing iat: the world, and it is very certain you can carry nothing out. : " Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils." There is an honor that is worth possessing, but it is an honor that comes from God. This day rise up and take it. '"Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God." Who aspires not for that royalty Come, now,and be Kings and priests unto God and the Lamb forever. If wealth and wisdom could have satisfied a man, Solomon would have been satisfied. To say that Solomon was a millionaire gives but a very imperfect idea of the property be inherited from David, bis father. He had at his command gold to the value of six hun dred and eighty million pounds, and he had silver to the value of one billion, twenty-nine million, three hundred and seventy-seven pounds sterling. The Queen of Sheba made him a nice little present of seven hundred and twenty , thousand pounds, and Hiram made him a present of the same amount. If he had lost the value of a whole realm out of his pocket, it would have hardly been worth his while to stoop down and pick it up. He wrote one thousand: and five songs. He wrote three thousand proverbs. He wrote about almost everything. The Bible says distinctly he wrote about plant, from the cedar of I? banontothe hyssop that groweth out of t he walJ, and about birds and beasts and fishes. Nodoubthe putoff his royal robes, and put on hunter's trapping, and went out with his arrows to bring down the rarest specimens of birds; and then with his fishing apparatus he went down to the stream to Wing up the denizens of the deep, and plunged into the forest and found the rarest spwimens of flowers; and then he came ba-k to his study and wrote books about zoology, the science of animate; about, ichthyology, tha science of fishes;' about ornithology, the science of birds; about, botany, the science of plants." Yet, notwithstanding all his widom and wealth, behold his wretchedness, and let bim pass on. Did any other city ever behold so wonderful a itihii) , 'cruHafrm. Jerusalem! But bere pulses through these streets', as in Ironfiination I see him. quita as wonderful, and a far better man. David the conqueror, the King, the. poet. Can it l9 that 1 am in to very city ' where he liwd and reigned? David, gre.it for power, and great for tief. Ha v.ns wra up in his riov AlwiWn, He wnt-n vplt-ii . i boy. judged by the ruls of wt'liy i-nii ijii. From tile '.rowu t'f hlH fcv ; :j tbe : rf i. - t"H f wn r it a single blemish. The Bible says that he had . such a luxuriant shock of hair that, when once a year it was shorn, what was cut oil weighed over three pounds. But notwithstanding all his brJUianey of appearance, he was a bad boy, and broV his father's heart. He was plot ting to get the throne of Israel. He had marshaled an army to overthrow his father's government. Th day of battle had come ami the conflict was begun. David, the father, sat between the gates of the palace waiting for the tidings of the conflict. Oh, how rapidly his heart beat with emotion! Two great questions were to be deckled: the safety of his boy, and the continuance of the throne of Israel. After awhile, a servant, standing on the top of the house, looks off, and he sees some one running. Ha is coming with great speed, and the man on the top of the house announces the com ing of the messenger, and the father watches and waits, and as soon as the messenger from the field of battle comes within hailing distance the father cries out: Is it a ques tion in regard to the establisment of his throne? Does he say: ."Have the armies of Israel been victorious? Am I to continue in ray imperial authority? Have I overthrown ray enemies?-' Oh, no. There is one ques tion that springs from his heart to the lip, and springs from the lip into the ear of the besweated and bedusted messenger flving from the battlefield the question: "Is the young man Absalom 6afe?" When it was told to David, tha King, that,, though his armies had been victorious, his son had been slain, tho father tnrned his back Upon the congratulations of the nation, and went up the stairs of his palace, his heart breaking as he went, wringing his hands sometimes, and then again pressing them against his temples as though he would press them in, crying: "O Absalom t my son! my son! Would God I had died for thee, O Absalom) my son! my sonl" Stupendous grief of David resounding through all succeeding ages. . This was the city that heard the woe. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem. I am also , thrilled and overpowered with the remembrance that yonder, where now stands a Mohammedan mosque, stood the temple, the very one that Christ visited Solomon's temple had stood there, but Neb uchadnezzar thundered it down. Zerubba bei's temple had stood there, but that had been prostrated. Then Herod built a temple beeause be was fond of great architecture, and he wanted the preceding temples to sesm insignificant. Put eight or ten modem ca thedrals together, and they would not equal that structure. It covered ' nineteen acres. There . were mtrble pillars 6up- orting roof of cedar, and silver ta les on which stood golden cups, and there were carvings exquisite and inscriptions re splendent, glittering balustrades and orna mented gateways. The building of this tem ple kept ten thousand workmen busy forty six yeart. Stupendous pile of pomp and magnificence! But tbe material and archi tectural grandeur of the building were very tame compared with the spiritual meaning of its ajtars and holy of holies, and the over whelming significance of its ceremonies. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! But standing in this old city all other facts are eclipsed when we think that near here our blessed Lord was born, that up and down the streets of this city He walked, and that in the outskirts of it He died. Here wa His only day of triumph, and His assassina tion. One day this old Jerusalem is&tthe tiptop of excitement. Christ has been doing some remarkable work? and asserting very high authority. The police court has issued papers for His arrest, for this thing must be stopped, as the very government is imperiled. News comes that last . village and that He is stopping at the house ' a I TT. 1 1 ' . i . , . vl it man wuoiu xie nan resuscitated alter four days' sepulture. Well, the people rush out "into the streets, some with the idea of helping in the arrest of this stranger when He arrives, and others expecting that on the morrow He will come into the town and by some supernatural force oust the mu nicipal and royal authorities and take everything in His own hands. They pour out of the city gates until the procession reaches to. the village. They come all around about the house where the stranger is stopping, and peer into the doors juul windows that they may get one glimpse of Him or hear the hum of His voice. Tho police dare not make tha arrest, because He has somehow won the af fections of all the people. Oh. it is a lively night in yonder Bethany! The heretofore quiet village is filled with uproar and outcry, and loud discussion about the strange acting countryman. J do not think there was any sleep in that bouse that night where the stranger was stopping. Although He came in weary He finds no rest, though for once . in His lifetime He had a pillow. But the morning dawns, the olive gar dens wave in the light, and all along yonder road, reaching over the top of Olivet toward this city, there is a vast sway ing crowd of wondering people. The excite ment around the door of the cottage is wild as the stranger steps out beside an unbroken colt that had never been mounted, and after His friends had strewn their garments on the beast for a saddle the Savior mounts it, and the populace, excited and shouting and fever ish, push on back toward this city of Jerusa lem. Let none jeer now or scoff at this rider, or the populace will trample him un der foot in an instant. There is one, long shout of two miles, and as far at the eye can reach you see wavings of demon strations and approval. There was some thing in the rider's visage, something in His majestic brow, something in His princely be havior that stirs up the enthusiasm of the people. They run up against the beast and try to pull the rider off into their arms anrj carry on their shoulders the illustrious stranger. The populace are so excited that they hardly know what to do with them selves, and some rush up to tbe roadside trees and wrench off branches and throw them in His way; and others doff their gajv meats, what though they be new and costly, and spread them for a car pet for the conquerer to ride over. "Hosan na!" cry the people at the foot of the hill. "Hosannaf cry the people all up and down the mountain. The procession has now come to the brow of yonder Olivet. Magnificent prospect reaching out in every direction vineyards, olive groves, jutting rock, silvery Siloam, and above all, rising on its throne of hills, this most highly honored city of all the earth, Jerusalem. Christ there, in the midst of the procession, looks off and here for tressed gates, and yonder the circling wall, and here the towers blazing in the sun, Phas aelus and Mariamne. Yonder is Hippicus.tba King's castle. Looking along in the range of the larger branch of that olive tree, you see the mansions of the merchant princen. Through this cleft in the limestone rocic you see the palace of th? richest trafficker in all the earth.- He has madenis money by sell ing Tyrian purple. Behold now tbe temple! Clouds of smoke lifting from the shimmer ing roof, while the building rises up beautiful, grand, majestic, the architectural skill and glory of the earth lifting themselves there in one triumphant doxology, the frozen prayer of all nations. The crowd looked around to see exhilara tion and transport in the face of Christ. Oh, no! Out from amid the gates, and the domes, and the palaces, there arose a vision of this city's sin, and of this city's doom, which obliterated the landscape from horizon to horizon, and He burst into teal's, crying: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!" But that was the only day of pomp that Jesus saw in and around this city. Yet He walked the streets of this city tbe loveliest and most majestic being that the world ever saw or ever wiU see. Publius Lentilus, in a letter to the Roman Senate, , describes Him as "a man of stature somewhat tall, hi&hair the color of a chestnut fully ripe, plain to the ears, whence downward it is more orient, curling and waving about the shoulders; in the midst of His forehead is a stream, or par tition of His hair; forehead plain, and very delicate; His face without spot or wrinkle, a lovely red; His noe and month so forked as nothing can be represented; His board thick, in color like His hair not very long; His eves pray; quick and !." He must die. The Fre nch army in Italy found a brass pint oj which ws a copy of His death warrant, m lined bv John Zerubbabef, llaphad Kobam, Daniel Kcbani an4 Capot. ; ' ' ' - Sometimes men on the way to the scaffold have been rescued by the mob. No such at tempt was made in this case, for the mob were against Him. From nine in the morn ing till three in the afternoon,' Jesus hung a-dying in the outskirts of this city. It was a scene of blood. We are so constituted that nothing is so exciting as blood. It is not the child's cry in tha street that so arouses you as the crimson dripping from its lip. In the dark hall, see ins the finger marks of blood s on the plastering, you cry J "What terrible deed has been done here?" Looking upon this suspended victim of the cross, we thrill with the sight of blood blood dripping from thorn and nail, blood rushing upon His cheek, blood saturating His f arments, blood gathered in a pool beneath, t is called an honor to have in one's veins the bloot of the house of Stuart, or of the house of Hapsburg. Is it nothing when I point you to the outpouring blood of the king of the universe? : In England the name of Henry was so great that its honors were divided among different reigns. It was Henry the First, and Henry the Second, and Henry the Third, and Henry the Fourth, and Henry the Fifth. In France the name "of Louis was so favorably regarded that it was Louis the First, Louis the Second, Louis the Third, and soon. But the King who walked those streets was Christ tha First, Christ the Last, and Christ the Only. He reigned before the Czar mounted tbe throne of Russia, or the throne of Aus tria was lifted, "King eternal, immortal." Through the indulgences of the royal family, .the physical life degenerates, and some of the Kings have been almost imbecile, and their bodies weak, and their blood thin and watery; but the crimson life that flowed upon Calvary had in it the health jot immortal God. Tell it now to all the earth and to all the heavens Jesus, our King, is sick with His last sickness. Let couriers carry the swift dispatch. His pains are worse; He is breath ing a last groan; through His body quivers the last anguish; the King is dying; the King is dead ! It is royal blood. It is said that some religionists make too much of the humanity of Christ. I respond that we make too lit tle! If some Roman surgeon, standing un der the cross, had caught one drop of the blood on his hand , and analyzed it, it would have been found to have the same plasma, the same disk, the same fibrin, the same albumen. It was unmistakably human blood. It Is a man that hangs there. His bones are of the same material as ours. His nerves are sensitive like ours. If it were an angel being despoiled I would not feel it so much, for it belongs to a different order of beings. But my Saviour is a man, and my whole sympathy is aroused. I can imagine how the spikes felt how hot the temples burnedwhat deathly sickness seized His heart how mount, a in, and city, and mob swam away from His dying vision something of the meaning of that crv for hem that makes the blood of all the ages curdle with horror": "My God I mjf liod I wny nast xnou lorsaaen me i - ; Forever with all these scenes of a Saviour suffering will this citv be associated.

' A ead-faCed, handsome woman, poorly but neatly clad, was seated on a bench' at the statiou bouse yesterday, says the Memphis Avalanche. She field an infant irk her arms,' and waa weeping in a silent, hopeless sort of way. A reporter drifted in, and after some questioning, the woman told her story. Her name is Mrs.Bettie Slaughter, and she came from near Collierville, in this county. Her maiden name was Mo Cord. During her girlhood she met and loved a farmer named J. Franklin Slaughter. .They were married on Janu ary 15, 1882 and dwelt together peace fully and happily.' Soon after their marriage Sallie Sut ' ton, a pretty 'orphan child 10 years old, came to them and asked for a home. The Slaughters1 were poor, but they took the girl in f and cared for her as best they could. . ' y ! , Sallie grew rapidly and developed into a fine girl. . She found favor in her foster-fathen's eyes, andMrs. Slaughter noticed thai J. Franklin was fond oi caressing the buxom Sallie. , About a year ago he said he would , find Sallie a better home than he could ' give her, and he and his adopted daughter started for Memphis osten sibly. Neither of them returned. After a time the truth dawned on the deserted wife, and, trying to forget her false husband, 6he set about ' trying to make a living for herself and t wb small children and her invalid mother. She met with ill success. Her health, was delicate and she was unable to do rough work. But for the kindness of neigh bors the family would have starved. , About a week ago Mrs. Slaughter re ceived news of her runaway husband. He had killed himself in a fit of mad ness caused by the fickleness of the girl he had ruined. , Slaughter and the girl were living in Kentucky as man and wife. She had admirers and encouraged them, and Slaughter objected. - v She pleaded innocence for a time, but her lovers became more marked in their attentons, and a violent' quarrel took place between Slaughter and the girl. 1 ' 1.1 le ki ll'' ii- e Mrs. Slaughter has no money, and wants employment.
