Many of the vMtora bare re mained here since yratcrday afternoon, when Dr. Talniage preached In the game place. The text of h! ormon ' this rooming wa from Acts 11L 15. "We aro witnesses. " Standing anild the liflls and groves of Kentucky and before this great multi tude tliat no man can number, most of whom 1 never awlefore and never trill too again In thU world. I choow a very practical theme. In the days of George Steplienson, the perfector of the lomo ujotlre engine, the sclenthrts proved conclnriveljr that a railroad train could never be driven by steam power suc cessful!? without peril; but the nulling express trains from Liverpool to Edin burgh and from Edinburgh to London have made alj the nation vrltoemoa of the splendid achievement Machinists and navigators proved conclusively that a steamer could never crow tho Atlantic ocean, but no sooner bad they successfully proved tho Ira possibility of such an undertaking than the work was done, and the paMeogera on the Cunord, and the Jninon, and the National, and the White Star lines are witnesses. There went up a guffaw of wise laughter at Professor Morse's proposition to make the lightning of heaven Ills errand boy, and it was proved conclusively that the thing could never be done, but now all tho news of the wldo world put In your hands every morning and night has made all nations witnesses. wrrsKSBKs ov tor rksurregtios. 8o In tho time of Christ it was proved conclusively tlwt It was Impossible for him to rise from tho dead. It was shown logically that when a man was dead, he was dead, and tho heart, and the liver, and tho lungs having ceased to perform their offices, tho limbs waulil - bo rigid beyond all power of friction or arousal T hoy showed It to bo an nb lolnto absurdity that tho dead Christ should ever get up alivo; but no sooner had thoy proved this than tho dead Christ aroso, and tho disciples beheld him, heard his vplco and talked with him, and they took tho witness stand to provo that to bo tmo which tho wlso acres of tho day liod proved to bo Im possible; tho record of tho experiment and of tho testimony Is In tho text, "Illm hath God raised from tho dead, whereof we ore witnesses." Now, let mo play tho skeptic for a moment. "Thero Is no God," nays tho skeptic, "for I havo novor seen him with tny physical eyesight Your 1)U bio Is a pack of contradictions, Thero nover was a miracle. Lazarus was not raised from tho dead, and tho water was never turned Into wlno. Your re ligion Is an Imposition on tho credulity of tho ages." There Is an ngod man moving in Umt pew as though hn would llko to rospoud. Hero aro hundreds of pooplo with faces a llttlo (lushed at thoso announcement, and all through Uil's throng thero ts a suppressed feeling which would llko to upealc out In bo half of tho truth of our glorious Chris Uanlty, as In tho days of tho text, cry ing out, "Wo aro witnesses!" Tho fact Is, that If this world Is ever brought to God It will not be through argument, but through testimony. You might cover the wholo earth with nwl ogles (or Christianity, and learned treatises In defense of religion i you would not couvert n oul Lecture on tho liannouy between rclenco nud r llgion aro beautiful mental dlKOlrillno, but havo nover raved a noul and nover will savo soul 1'ut a man of the world and a tnim of tho church against each Dtlier, and tho man of tho world will, In all 'probability, gut (ho triumph. Thero aro n thousand things In our re ligion that seem Illogical to thu world mid always will soem illogical. T1UUMPHU OK TJIK QOaj'UU Our weapon hi this conflict Is faith, not logto; faith, not metaphysics; faith, not profundity? faith, not scholastic exploration, lint then, In order to havo faith, wo must havo testimony, and It Hvo hundred men, or one thousand men, or five huudred thousand men, or Hvo million moil get up and tell ma that they havo felt tho religion of Jiwus Christ a Joy, a comfort, u help, an In splraUon, 1 am bound iw a fair mtudod twut to except their testimony I want Just now to put before yon thrw propo Mtlons, tho truth of whleh ! think this Rudleuca will attest with overwhelming unanimity, Tho first proposition Is, Wo are wltaMMs that tho religion of Christ U fvbla to convert a fcoul. The Gospel may have had a hard thito to comjner uj, wo may have fought It baek, but wo were vaiifiuUiiKHi. You y convention Is only nn imaginary iking, Wo know butter- "Wo are wltHftssd." There nover was m grtml ebuige In our heart and Mt uu tin) mbjMt m on this. Pofi laughwl at tho lulwiuiiaritM In M4tMilkr Iweauw thoy jirvewliwl tea yu without on convert, hut Uivr r ;jDany thousands of ooaverU In Mud jBiweAr today.

People langftea at ; Dr. UoxUm to China for preaeMog there seven years without a single con- verskra, but there are many Uioainds , of Christians to CWna today, reopw i iAngbed at the missionaries for preach ing at Tahiti for fifteen yeArs without a rfngle conversion, and at the mfceioija ries for preaching to Bengal seventeen years without a single conversion, yet in all those lands Uiere are maimaaes of Christians today. But why go so lar to Hnd evwence of tho Gospel's power to save a. soul I We are witnesses." We were so proud that no man could have humbled ns; we were so hard that no earthly power eould have melted as. Angels of God were all around obont ns; they could not overcome us. But one day. per haps at a Methodist onxlous seat, or at a Presbyterian catechetical lecture, or at a burial, or on horseback, a power seized tw, and made us get down, and mode tis tremble, and made us kneeL and made ns cry for mercy, and we tried to wrench ourselves away from the grasp, out we coma not ttuungasuai, and when we arose we were as much changed as Gourgis, the heathen, who went Into a prayer meeting, with a dag ger and a gun, to disturb the meeting and destroy It, but the next day was found crying: '0h, my great sins I Oh, my great Bavlourl" and for eleven years preached the Gospel of Christ to his fellow mountaineers, the last words on his dying lips being. "Free gracel" Oil, It was free gracel TKASSFOKMED VX THK nOLT STOUT. There Is a man who was for ten years a liard drinker. The dreadful appetite had sent down its roots around the palate, and the tongue, and on down until they were Interlinked with the vitals of body, mind and soul ; but he has not taken ony stimulants for two years. Wliat did that? Not temper anco societies. Not prohibition laws. Not moral suasion. Conversion did it "Why," sold ono upon whom the great chango had como, "sir, I feel Just as though I were somobody else." There Is a sea captain who swore all tho way from Now York to Ilavana, and from Havana to San Francisco, and when ho was In port ho was worse than when ho was on sea. What power was It that washed his tongue clean of pro fanities, and made him a psalm singer? Conversion by tho Holy Spirit There aro thousands of people hero today who aro no more what thoy once were than a water lily ts a nlghtsliado, or a morn lng lark Is a vulture, or day Is night Now, If I should demand that all those people horo present who havo felt tho converting power of religion should rise, so far from bolng ashamed thoy would spring to their feet with more nlacrity than they ever sprang to tho danco, tho tears mingling with liioir exhilaration as they cried, "Wo aro wltncsRosI" And if thoy -tried to sing tho old Gospel hymn, thoy would break down with emotion hy tho timo thoy got to tho second line: Aiusmod of Jcu, that dear friend On whom my hopes of hoaveu (lejwnd? Not When I bluih, bo this my thitmo That 1 no moro rovcro hU name. Again, I remark that "wo are wit nesses" of tho Gospel's powor to com fort When a man has troublo tho world comos in and eays, "Now, got your mind off this; go out and breatho tho fresh air; plungo deopor Into busi ness." What poor advlcol Get your mind off It I When everything Is upturn ed with tho bercavoinont, and every thing reminds you of what you havo lost Get your mind off It! Thoy might as well advlso you to stop think ing, nnd you cannot stop thinking In that direction. Take a walk In tho fresh olrl Why, along that very streot, or that very road, she onco accom panied you. Out of that grass plot tho pluokcd flowurs, or Into that show window sho looked fascinated, saying, "Como, soo tho pictures."

How was It donof Did Christ como to you and say, "Got your mind off this; go out and breatho the fnwli air; pluiigodcoper Into business r No. Thero was a mlnuto when ho como to you perhaps In tho watches of tho night perhaps in your place of business, perhaps along tho streetand ho breathed something Into your soul that gave penco, rest infinite quiet, so that you could tako out tho photograph of tho departed ono mid look Into Uto eyes and tho face of tho dead ono and say t "It Is nil right, sho U better off; I would not call her baok. Lord, thank thro that thou hast comforted my oor heart" COMVOUT KOH THK BOUHOH'Wa. There are Christian parents hero who are willing to testify to tho powor of this Gopel to comfort Your sou had just graduated from hool or college nud was going Into buhinos, and tho Iord took him. Or your daughter hnd Jiut graduated from tho young ladles' seminary, and you thought h was go ing to l a useful woman, and of lung Ufa; hut tho Ixml took bur, and you won) tempt! ta wy, "All this culture of twenty years for nothing!" Or tho llttlo ohltd came homo from sohool with ' tho hot fever that ttopped not fur th ngpultod prayer or for the skillful phy delati, and (ho lUtta olilld was taken. Or ths Uabo was llftwl out of your. anus by souio quiok PAlddiuto, and ron topdtromlfrhtg why God wer gnvu you that child at nit, If o soon ho was I to take H away. And yet you or not hffrn'HW'f 'iiifiSilii" itiWiMiiiriiltli i WiidwJiisCTHwwewwi repiBg, yoa are not fretful, yoa are not Bgimog agMnst uw. " ci.- owed yoa tostemJail ttte trtwi "On." yoa say.

" Come, all ye who have i been out to the grave to weep there come all ye comforted souls, get np off yoar knees. Is there no power In this Gospel to soothe the heart! Is there no power in this religion to quiet the worst paroxysm of grief I There eotaes up an answer from comforted widow hood and orphanage and childlessness, saying, "Aye, aye, wears witnesses!" Again, I remark that we are wit nesses of the fact that religion has power to give composure hi the last moment I shall never forget the first thno I confronted deatli. We went across the cornfields in the country. I was led by my father's hand, and we camo to the farmhouse where the be reavement had come, and we saw tho crowd of wagons and carriages, but thero was one carriage that especially attracted my boyish attention, and it had black plumes. I said: "Wliat's tliat? what's that! Why those black tac-sels at the topf And after It was explained to me I was lifted up to look upon tho bright face of an aged Christian woman, who three days be fore had departed In triumph. The whole scene mode on Impression I never forgot TKSTIMONT OF DYIA'O CnKI8TtA.TS. In our sermons and in our lay oxhor tations wo are very apt when we want to bring illustrations of dying triumph, to go back to some distinguished per sonage to a Jonn Unox or a Harnett Newell. But I want you for witnesses. I want to know If yoa havo over seen anything to make yoa believe tliat the religion of Christ can give composure in the Qnal hour. Now, In the courts, at torney, Jury and Judge will never ad mit mere hearsay. They dornand that tho witness must havo seen with his own eyes or hoard with his own ears, and so I am critical in ray examination of you now; and I want to know whether you have seen or hoard any thing that makes you belie vo tliat tho religion of Christ gives composure in the final hour. "Oh, yes," you say, "I saw my father and mother depart Thero was a great dlfforenco In their deathbeds. Send ing by tho one we felt moro veneration. By tho other there was moro tender ness." Before tho ono you bowed per haps In awe. In tho other case you fell as If you would liko to go along with hor. How did they feel In that last hour? How did thoy seem to act? Wore thoy vory muchfrightoncd? Did thoy tako hold of this world with both hands as though thoy did not want to givo it upf "Oh, no," you say, "no; I remember ns though it wore yostorday; sho had a kind word for us all, and there wore a few meinontoos distributed among tho children, and then sho told us how kind wo must bo to our father In his loneliness, and then sho kissed us goodby nnd went asleep as a child in a cradlo." What mado hor so composed? Natural courago? "No," you say; "mother was very nervous j whontho carriage Inclined to tho sldo of tho road sho would cry out ; sho was always rathor weakly." What gave hor composure? Was It because sho did not care much for yon, and tho pang of parting was not groat? "Oh," you say, "sho showered upon us a wealth of alloctlon; no mother over loved hor children moro than mother loved us; sho showed It by tho way sho nursod us when wo wore sick, and sho tolled for us until hor strength gava out" AVliat, than, was It that gave hor composure In tho last hour? Do not hlilo It Be frank nnd let mo know. "Oh," you say, "It was because nho was so good ; sho mado tho Lord her iiortlon, and sho had faith that sho would go straight to glory, and that wo would all meet hor nt last nt tho foot of tho throne."

When Madame Sontog began her musical career slt was hiwed off the stage at Vienna by the friends of her rival, Amelia Steinlnger, who had already begun to decline through her dissipation. Years passed on, and one day Mudaino Son tag, in her glory, was riding through the streets of Berlin, when ehe saw a little child leading a blind woman, and site said : "Como here, my little child, come here. Who is tliat you are lead ing by tho hand '?' And the little child replied: "That's my mother; that's Amelia Steinlnger. She used to be a great singer, but she lost her voice, and she cried so much about it that sho lost her eyesight." "Givo my love to her," said Madame Sontag, "and tell her an old aoquaintanco will call on her this afternoon." Tho next week in Berlin a vast as semblage gathered at a bcnollt for that poor blind woman, nnd it was caid tliat Sontag sang that nlghtas she had never sung before. And she took a skilled oculist who Is vain tried to givo eye sight to tho poor blind woman. Until tho day of ,AuioIia Staininger's deatli Mine. Sontag took care of her and her daughter after that Tliat was what tho queen of song did for her enemy. But oh, hear a moro thrilling story still. Blind, immortal, poor and lost, thou who, when tho world and Christ were rivals for thy heart, didst hiss thy Lord away Christ comes now to givo theo Bight, to give tlieo a homo, to givo thco lieavon. With moro than a Sontag's generosity, ho comes now to meet your need. With more than a Sontag's music, ho comes to plead for thy deliverance.
