High Bridge, Ky., July 12. A vast con
osna of people assembled this morning
am the historic camp ground "at" High
Bridge, Ky., to hear Dr. Talmage preach.
They came from; all the surrounding cities,
towns and'neighborhood. "A large contin
gent from Louisville and another from
Cincinnati ere present Many of the
visitors have remained here since yester
day afternoon, when Dr. Talmage preached
in the same place. The text of his sermon
this . morning was from- Acts lii. 15. "We
are witnesses. " a t, j ".' j,- J r.?'" ,': ;
Standing amid 'the hills and groves of
Kentucky, and before this great multitude
that no man can number, moot of whom I
sever saw before and never wilt see -again
in this world, I choose a very practical
theme. In the days of George Stephenson,,
'-the perfector of the locomotive engine, the
dentists prayed conclusively that a rail
road train could never be driven by steam
sower successfully without peril: "but the
rushing express trains-fromi Liverpool to'
Sdinbargh, and from Edinburgh to lxn
lon, have made ail the nation witnesses of
the splendid achievement'- .'-.- 1' !"-'
Machinists and Tiayigatora' proved con
clusively that a steamer could never cross
be Atlantic ocean; but no sooner had they"
-SQCcessfnlly proved the impossibility of
such an undertaking - than the ' work was
done, and itba passengers, on the Cunard,
and the Inman, 'and the National, and the
"White Star lines are witnesses. There went
p a guffaw of wise laughter' at; Professor
"Morse's proposition to make the' lightnint;.
of heaven his errand boy, and it was proved
conclusively that the thing could never "be
done; but now all . the; news of the wide,
world nut in your hands' very morning
and night has made all nations witnesses.
So ,tnV the, time of Christ it wa proved
conclusively that it : was. impossible'. tor
kim'tii Hqa fmm fchft ' HeajA. It vm -shown
logically that when .' a man' waft deiid, he
."was dead, and the heart, and too. liver, and
the lungs having ceased to perform their
offices, the limbs would be rigid beyond an
power of friction or arousal. They showed
it to' be 'an i absolute absurdity that the
elead Christ should ever get np alive; hat
so sooner had they, proved this than, the
toaul Christ 'arose,-and the disciples beheld
bim, heard hid voice, and talked' with him.
sad they took the witness stand to prove
that to be true which the wiseacres of the
lay had proved to be impossible? the rec
ord of the experiment and of the testimony
'lain the text; "Him hath God raised from
'the dead, whereof we are witnesses."
' r FOLLT OF THE AGNOSTIC.
ow let me play the sKeptic lor a mo
ment. '"There is no God,'' says the skeptic.
for I have never seen .'him with myphya
4cal eyesight. Your Bible is a pack of con
tradictions. There never was' a' miracle.'
ljutarus was not raised from the:deadr and
the water was never turned into wine.
Your religion; is 'un imposition on' the er
aiuUty of the ages." '.There is an aijed man
moving in that pew" as though he would
Uke to respond. Here are hundreds of
people with faces a little flushed at these,
announcements, and all tbrbngbT this"
throng there is a suppressed feeling which
"would like to speak out in behalf of the
truth otonr glorious Christianity, as 'in theT
days of 'the1 text, crying out, "We are wit-
rne Tact is tnatur this world -la ever
Brought to God it will not 'be through ar
' Kament, . but , through : testimony. - You
. Slight cover the whole earth with apolo-
Xies for 'Christianity and learned treatises
in defense of rehgion-ryou would not- con
vert a soul. .Lectures: on. the harmotiy be
tween science and religion are beautiful
mental discipline, but ' have never' saved
soul and never will save a soul, . Put a man
of the world and a man -of the church
sgainst each other, and the man - of the
world -wilt, in - all probability, get the tri
umph. There are a thousand-things in
oar 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: scholastic explora
tion. But then, in order to have.. faith, we
must nave testimony, and if. five hundred
men, or one thousand men, or five bun-
-euea tnousana men, or nve minion men
Set .up And tell me that they have felt
the religion of. Jesus Christ a joy, a. corn-
sort, a nelp, an inspiration, l am bound, as
- fair 'minded man to accept their testi
mony. I want just now to put before you
, three propositions, the truth of which
think this audience will- attest with'- over
whelming ununimity. The first proposition
is: We are witnesses that , the religion of
Christ ia able "to convert a soul. .The Goe'
'pel may have had a hard time to 'conquer
tta, we may have fought it back, but we
were vanquished. You say conversion is
only an imaginary things. "We Know bet
ter. "We are witnesses."" There never
wsa so great a change in our heart and life
--on any other subject as on this.
People laughed at the missionaries in
Madagascar because they preached ten
Tears without , one convert; but: there are
many thousands of converts in Madagas
car today. People laughed at Dr. Judson,
. the Baptist missionary, because he kept on
preaching in JBurmab' Ave -years - with-:
tout a single convert; but there are' many
QBShousands of Baptists in Bnrmab today.
feople laughed at Dr.. Morrison -in Chin
tor preaching there" seven years without
single conversion;-but there '.are many
thousands of Christians in China today.
People laughed at the missionaries for
preaching as Tahiti for fifteen years with
out a single conversion, and at the mis
sionaries for preaching in Bengal seven
teen years without a single convei-siou; yet
in all those lamin there are multitudes of
Christians today.
But why go so far to find et fences of
the Gospel's power to save a seal? "We
re witnesses." We were so proud that no
laan could have humbled us; we were so
.hard that no earthly power could have
melted us. Angels of God were all around
sboat us; they could not overcome us;", but
one day, perhaps at a Methodist anxious
' rjawat or at a Presbyterian catechetical lec
ture or at a burial or on horseback, a power
seized us and made mrget "down and made
n trembfe and made us kneel , and made
us cry for mercy, and we tried to wrench
ourselves away from the ' grasp, but we
-could not.0 It flung tis' flat, and when we
- arose weweroVas much, changed asGourgis,
the heathen, who went into a prayer meet
ing with a dagger aud a guu,, to disturb the
. meeting and destroyr.it, but the nejttr day '
- was found crying: ""Ohmy great" Bins!
"Oh, my great Saviour!" and for eleven
years preached tiie Gospel of Christ to bis
iellcnr jnomitaineera; the last words ou his
iying lips being "Free grace!" Oh, it was
Jree grace! . ...... ..... -
, MILLIONS COMFORTED BY THE GOSPEL.
There is a man who was for ten years a
bard drinker. The dreadful, appetite li:ui
sent down its roots around the, palate and
the to.aglf'eyund on ' doSk n Vntif. -Shey wt.re
mind and soul, but he has not taken any
stimulants for two years.
Not temperance societies. Not prohibition
laws. Not moral suasion. Con version did
it.. ,'Whyr'? said one upon whom the great
chabge bad come, "sir, I feel just as though
were somebody else." There is a sea cap
tain who swore all - the way from New
Yorli to Havana, fend from Havana to San
Francisco, and when he was in port be was
worse- than when he was on sea. What
power was it t hat washed his tongue clean
profanities and made him a. psalm
singerf Conversion ;by 'the .Holy Spirit.
There are thousands of people here today
who are no more what they once were th in
water lily is a nightshade, or a morning
lark is a vulture, or day is night.
Now, if ' I' should demand that all those
people here present who have felt the con
verting power of -religion should, rise, so
far rota bajing.ashamed they would spci og
to their feet with far more alacrity than
they ever ' sprang to the , dance, the tears
mingling with their Cxhilaration as tbey
cried,- "We are witnesses!" And if they
tried to sing the old , Gospel -hymn they
would -break down with emotion by the
time they got to the second line:
i Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend
... On whom my hopes of heaven depend?
Not When I blush, be this my shame.

Again, I remark that "we are witnesses"

Beethoven's symphony as easily as this
world can comfort a broken heart. And
yet' you have been comforted. How was it

Get. your mind, off 1 this. Go out and
breathe the fresh air. Plunge deeper into

he came to you perhaps in the watches of
the -night, perhaps in your place of busi-
perbaps along the street and he
breathed -something into your soul' that
gave peace, rest, infinite quiet, so that you
could take out the photograph -of the de
parted one and look into the eyes and the
face -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."
- DfVINE HBALJNQ FOB THE SICK BOUl. -There
are Christian parents here who are
willing to testify, to the power of this. Gos
pel to comfort. r- Your son had just graduated-
.from school or college and was going
into bilsihess, and the Lord took him. Or
your' daughter had just graduated from
the.- young- ladies' .seminary, and you
thought she was going to be a useful wo-
mait and of--longilifej but the Lord took
her, and you were tempted to say, ''All
this cultur. of .twenty years for nothing!"
O the IittTe child came' home from school
with the hot fever that stopped not for the
agonized prayer or for the. skillful . physi
cian,' and the little child was 'taken Or
the babe was : lifted, out.-of, ;your- arms by
some auick epidemic, and yoy stood won
dering why God ever gave' you that child
at all if so soon he was to take it away.
And yet yoa are not repining, you are mot
fretful, you are not fighting against God.,
What enabled you to stand all the trial?
"Oh," you say, "I took the medicine that
God.- gaye my sick -souL . In . jpy distress I
threw .myself at the feet of a sympathizing
God; and .when' I was too weak to pray or
to; look up he breathed into me a peace
that I think miist.be the foretaste of that,,
heaveu-wbertt there is neither-. a tear nor a
farewell nor a grave.",: Come, all ye who
have been out to the grave to weep there
come, all ye comforted souls, get up oil J.
yonr ' knees. Is there' no power in this ;
us; when the -carriage 'inclined to the
side .of : the road she' would cry out; she
-was always rather wsaikly. 'What gave

What did thatf parting .was not greatf . "Oh,".you. say,
"she showered upon us a wealth of affec
tion;' no mother 'ever loved her children
more than mother loved us; she shelved
it by the way she nursed us when we were
sick,, and she toiled for - us . until .. her
strength gave out." What, then, was it
that gave her composure! in the last hour?
Do not hide it. Be frank and let me know.
"Oh," you say, "it was because she was so
good; she made the Lord her portion, and
she had faith that she would go straight to
glory, and that we should all meet her at
last at the foot of the throne,"..., , n..-!.
' UNCOUNTED MILLIONS OF WITNESSES, i
Here are people who say, "I saw a Chris
tian brother die, and he triumphed." And
some one else, "I saw a Christian sister
die, and she triumphed." Some, one else
will say,' ''I saw a Christian daughter die,
and she triumphed." Come, all ye who
have seen the last moments of a Christian,
and give testimony in this cause on trial.
Uncover .your, heads, put yonr . hand -on
the old family Bible, from which they used
to read, the 'promises, and promise in : the
presence ot high heaven that : you will tell
the truth,, the whole truth and mothing
but the truth. : With what you have - seen
with your own eyes and what yoa have
heard with your own. ears, la there power
in this Gospel to give calmness and-triumph
in the last exigency? ' The. response
comes from all sides, from young and. old
and middle aged, "We are witnesses!" .'
.You see, my friends, I. have, not put be
fore you an abstraction or. a chimdra, or
anything like guess work. I present you
affidavits of the best men ' and women, liv
ing and dead. Two witnesses in court will
establish a fact. ,Here are not two.. -.wjt;
n esses, but millions of witnesses on earth
and in heaven, .testifying . that there is
power in ttus religion to. convert the: soul,
to give .comfort in trouble and to afford
composure in the last hour. ,; . , ;
If ten men should come to you when you
are , 'sick with appalling sickness and say
they bad the same sickness and took a cer
tain medicine and it cured them, you would
probably take it. Now, suppose ten other'
men. should come up. and say, "We don't
believe that there is anything in that medi
cine." "Well," I say, ''have you tried.it?"
"No, I never tried it, but I don't believe
there is anything in it." Of 'course you
discredit their testimony. The skeptic may
come and say; 'There is no - power in' your
religion." "Have -you ever tried itf"'"No,
no.?'- vThen avauntr" Let me! take the
testimony of the millions of souls that have
been converted to God and 'comforted in'
trial and Bolaced in the-last hoar: ; We will
take thefr -testimony as they cry, "We are
witnesses!'" '-. m -' ' -:'-' '
