TAIME'S SERIN. The Brooklyn Divine Preaches . at Beyrput. A Chrl-tmas Sermon in Which lie Give Utterances to aiome Thoughts -J . Inspired by the Song of the An- -jrels at the Birth of Christ.- TEXT: ,uGllory to Godin the highest, and earth peace, goQd will toward men." Lukeji.. it , At last I have what I longed for.' a Christ inas ere in the Holy Land. This is the time of year that Christ landed. Ho was a Decem ber Christ. This ia the chill air through which lie descended. I look up through these ; Christmas skies, and I see no loosened star, hastening southward to halt above Bethle hem, but all the stars suggest' the Star of Bethlehem. - No more need that any of them run along the sky to point downward. In ouictude they kneel at the feet of Him who, though once an exile, is now enthroned for ever. Frefch up from Bcthlehlm, I am full of the scenes suggested by a visit to that village. You know that whole region of Bethlehem is famous in Bible story. There wore the waving harvests of Boaz, in which Ruth gleaned for herself and weeping Naomi. There David the warrior waa thirsty, and three mnn of unheard of self denial broke through the Philistine army to get him a , drink? it was to that region that Joseph and MaryytSinje to have their names enrolled hi thensus. f That is what the Scripture meanwhen it says they came "to be taxed," lor people did not in those days rush afterthe assessors of tax any more , than they ifbw do. .1 ns " v J-i ipQ vulag-J inn was crowded with the angers who had come up by the command . Government to have their names in tho census, so that Joseph and Mary were obliged to lodge in the stables.. Yon have eaeivsomA t f those large stone buildings, in the center of which the camels were kept, while - run uing out from this center in all directions there were rooms, in one of which Jesus wa3 born. Had his parents been more showily ' appareled I have no doubt they would have found t moro com for tablo entertainment. ; That night in tho fields the shepherds, with crook and kindled, fires, were - watch ing their flocks, when hark I to ; the sound rf voices strangely 4 sweet. r Can it be that the maidens of Bethlehem have come eut to serenade the weary shepherds? But now a light stoops upon them like the morning, so that the flocks arise, shaking their snowy fleece and bleating to their ' drowsy young. The heavens are filled with armies of light, and the earth quakea under the harmony as, echoed back from cloud to Cloud, it rings over the midnight hills: .'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men," It seems that the crown of royalty and dominion and power which Christ loft behind Him was hung on the sky in sight of Bethlehem. Who knows but that that-31'own may have been mistaken by J,he wis men for the star running and pointing downward? - , . - , My subject, fnWie first place, impresses me with tho fact-that indigence is not always significant -of degradation. When Princes are born, heralds announce it, and cannon thunder it, and flags-wave it, and illumina tions set cities on fire with the tidings. Some , of us in England or America remember the time of rejoicing when the Prince of Wales - was born. You can remember the gladness throughout Christendom at the nativity in the palace at Madrid. But when our glorious Prince was born, thero was no rejoicing on earth. - Poor cmd growing poorer, yet the heavenly recognition that Christmas night shows tho truth' of the proposition that in digence is not always significant of degrada tion, r . - , 5 . In all ages there have been great hearts throbbing under rags, tender sympathies un der rough exterior, gold in the quartz, Par ian marble in the quarry.and in ever stable of privation wonders of excellence that have been the joy of tho heavenly host. ; All th9 great deliverers of literature and of nations were, born in homes without affluence, and from their own privation learned to speak and fight for the oppressed. Many a man has held up hisi pine knot light from the wil- ' deraess until all . nations andv generations have seen it, and ojf of his hard crust of pen- , ury has broken the bread of knowledge and religion for the starving millions of the ' race. Poetry, and' .science, and literature, and : commerce, and " laws, , and constj- i tution3, and liberty, like Christ, were born have decided the destiny of nations started in obscure corners, and had Herods who wanted to slay them, and Iscariots who betrayed them, and rabbles that crucified them, and sepulchres that confined them until theyburst forth in gloriou3 resurrection. Strong char acter, like the ; rhododendron, is an Alpine plant, that grows fastest ia the storm. Men are like wheat, worth all the more for beins: flai'-vl. ikme of the most ) useful t 1 .1 peopio wouia never nave come to rpoa-J tions of usefulness had they not been ground . and pounded and hammered in the foundry of disaster. - When I see Moses coming up from the ark of bul rushes to Lj the greatest lawgiver of the ages, and Amos from tending the herds to make Israel tremble with his'prophecies, and 1 David from tho sheepcote to sway the tooet's i pen and the King's scepter, and Peter from the fishing net to be the great preacher at the Pentecost, I find proof of tha. truth of my 1 proposition uiao indigence is not always significant of degradation. My su eject also impresses me with the thought that it is while at our useful oc cupations that : ve have the divine manifestations. Had thoo shepherds gene that night into Bethlehem and .would not have heard the song of the angels. 'In other words, that man sees most of God and heaven who minds his own business. We ui nave our posts or duty, and standing there God appears to us. We are all shep herds or sheperdesses, and we have our flocks of cares and annoyances and anxieties, and we must tend them. - v . ..tYt f0601 hear very good people say V If I had a month or a year or two to do nothing but attend to religious things, I would be a great deal better than I am now." You are mistaken. Generally the best peo- Cle are the busy people. Elisha was plowing 1 the field when the prophetic mantle fell on him. - Matthew was attending to his cus tom houso duties when Christ commanded mm to follow. James and John wero mend ing their nets when Christ called them to be fishers of. men. Had they been snoring in the sun Christ would not have called tfinir indolence into the apostleship. Gideon was at work . with the flail on the threshing floor when he saw the angel, baul was with great fatigue hunting up the lost asserwhenhe found the crown of Israel. 1 ne prodigal son would never have reformed and wanted to have returned to his father's house if he had.not first gone into business, i though it was swine feeding. Not once out 0 A hrred U3 wm . a lazy man become a Christian. Those who have nothing to do , are in very unfavorable-circumstances for the receiving of divine manifestations." It is not when you are in idleaess, but when- you are, like the Bethlehem shepherds, watchin your flocks, that the glory descends and there is joy among tho angels of God over your soul penitent and forgiven. . ' : My subject also strikes at the delusion that the religion of Christ is dolorous and grief infusing. :- The music that broke through tho midnight heavens was not a dirge, but an an them. It shook joy oyer the hills. r It not only dropped upoivcho shepherds, but it eprang upward among tho . thrones. The robe of a bajriour's righteousness Is iiot black. kjTbTjhristian life is not mado up of Vross bearing and war wazmg. Vi we r revelation of that Christ find that religion is not a" sonrc. In a world of sin nd .sepulchers, we must have but tie darkest nlgat the,heaveas vith anp song. - You may, like be shipwrecked, bub I exhort you to be . .f cmrtA hfpr for voJhall all ejeaoa safe to t.hn land.

The straw pallet was the 1 sUrtinoint. but the shouria ths J midnight sky" revealed whit -would be" th3 glorious coirjTmitioa.

Oh, what an humble beginning! What a glorious ending! Throne linked to a manger, heavenly mansions to a stable.: ' :; .-. . -.- . My subject also impresses me with the ef fect of Christ's mission " upward and down-' ward. Glory, to God, peace to man. : When God sont His Bon into the world, angels dis covered something new in God, something they had never seen before. Not power, not wisdom, nob lova. , They knew all that bK fore- Bat when God sant Hia Son into this world then the angels saw the spirit of self denial in God, the spirit of self-sacrifice in God. It is easier to Jove an angel on His throne than a thief on the cross, a seraph in his, worship than an adulter 9S3 in her crime. When the angels saw God the God who would not allow the most insismificant 'angel in heaven to be hurt give up His Son, it: , -j it:- i i ti i . x muu, iiio ulxij f uiiijr ravm, mejr eaw something that they had never thought of before, and I do not wonder that when Christ started out cn that pilgrimage the angels in heaven clapped their wings in triumph and called oa all the hosts of heaven to help them celebrate it, and sang so loud that-the Beth lehem shepherds heard it: "Glory to God in the highest." ; . . But it was also to be a mission of peace to man. Infinite holiness accumulated de pravity. How could they, ever come to gether! The Gospel bridges over the dis tance. It brings God to us. . It take3 us to God. God in us, - and we in God. Atone ment t ; Atonement ! J ustice satisfied, sins forgiven, eternal life secured, heaven built on a mangor. ' . " ,. But it was also to be the pacification of all individual- and ' international animosities. What a sound this word of peace had in the Roman Empire that boasted of the number of people it had massacred, that prided itself on the number of the slain, that rejoiced at the trembling provinces. Sicily and Cor sica and Sardinia and Macodonia and Egypt had bowed to her sword and crouched at the cry of her war eagles. She gave her chief honor to Scipio and Fabius and Caesar all men of blood. What contempt they must have had there for the penniless, unarmed Christ in. the garb of a Nazarine, starting out to conquer all nations. There never wa3 a t place on earth where that word peace sounded so offensively to the ears of the multitude as in the Roman Eaipire. They did not want peace. The greatest music they ever heard was the clanking chains of their captives. If all the blood that has been shei in battle could bo gathered togetlnr it would upbear a navy. The club that struck Abel to the earth has its echo in tho butcherie3 of all ages. : Edmund , Burke, who gave no wild statistics, said that thBre hai b3iti spsafe ia slaa'ater tlirty-five thousand millions of dollars, or what would be equal to that; but he .had not seen into our times, whan in our own day, in America,' we expended three thousand millions Of dol lars in civil war. - : :'--.: . - r Oh, it we could now talco d'jr position on some high point and S3e- tho world's' armies march pa3t!
