STORY OF A MARTYR.
DR. TALMAGE DISCOURSES ON THE
STONING OF STEPHEN.
Five Picture* DBplayed— Stephen Gazing
Into Heaven, Stephen Looking at Christ,
Stephen Stoned, Stephen In Hl* Dying
Prayer and Wtephen Asleep.
(Copyright, 1888, by American Press Asso
datioa.]
WASHTXOTCW, March 13.—The discourse
of Dr. Titlmage which we send out- is a
vivid story of martyrdom and a rapturous
view of th” world to coms; text. Acts
vll, 56-00, “Behold I see the heavens open
od, ” etc.
Stephen hnd been preaching a rousiqg
sermon, and the people could not stand it
They resolved to do as men sometimes
-s -iuld like to do in this day, If they dared,
with some plain preacher of righteousness
—kill him. The only way to silence this
man was to knock the breath out of film
- : o they rushed Stephen out of the gates of
the city, and with curse and whoop and
bell >vj they brought him to the cliff, as
was the custom when they wanted to take
tway life by stoning. Having brought
him to the edge of the cliff, th; y pushed
him off. After he had fallen they came
and looked down, and, seeing that he vva
not yet dead, they began to drop stoms
upon him. stone after stone. Amid thi
horrible rain of missiles Stephen clambers
up on his knees and fold, his hands, while
the bloxl drips from his temples to his
hi cks, from his cheeks to his garments
from his garments to the ground, and
.hem 1< oking up, ho maj-.es two pntyera—
<>no for himself and one forihis murderers.
‘Lord Jesus, receive rny spirit!’ That
was for himself. “Lord, lay not this sin
o their charge!” That was for his assail
mts. Then, from pain and loss of blood,
io swooned away and fell asleep.
I want toehow you today live pictures—
Stophen pazitiu into heaven, Stephen look

Stephen’* Gllmpav of 11,-avcn.
First look at. Stephen gazing into heav
•n. Before you take a leap you want to
know where you are going to land. Be
oro you climb a ladder you want to know
o what point the ladder reaches. And it
>-ns right that Stophi-n, wit Lin a few mo
nonts of heaven, should be gazing into it
■Ve would all do well to be found in the
nine pee tjire. There is enough in heaven
' 11 keep us gazing A man of large wealth
nay have statuary In the hall, and paint
ngs in tho sitting room, and works of art
n nil parts of tho house, but be has the
■hies ptotaies tn the art gallery, and there
iour after hour you walk with catalogue
:nd glass t'i:d ever increasing admiration.
Veil, heaven is tho gallery where God has
athered tho chief treasures pf his realm,
i'ho whole tmiverno Is bis palace. In this
.ower room where we stop there are many
id'ornmoiita—tossolhitod lioor of amethys ( t,
md on the winding cloud stub* are stretch
d out canvases on which commingle azure
nd purple and saffron and gold. But
:eaven is the gallery in which the chief
JoriesTnc gathered. There arc the bright
•st robes. There are tho richest crowns.
There aro the highest exhilarations. .John
ays of it, “Tho kings of the earth shall
tring their honor and glory into it.” And
■ see the procession forming, and in the
ino come nil empires, and the stars spring
ip into an arch for the hosts to march tin
ier. The hosts keep step to tho sound of
arthquake and the pitch of avalanche
rom tha mountains, and the flag they
tear is the flaino of a consuming world,
md all heaven turns out with harps and
rumpets and myriad voiced acclamation
>f angelic dominion to welcome them in,
md so the kings of the earth bring their
ionor and glory into it. Do you wonder
bat good people often stand, like Stephen,
loking into heaven? V.c have many
rlends there.
There is not a man In this house today
o isolated in life but there is some one in
icaven with whom he once shook hands,
vs a man gets older ibo number of bis
elostinl acquaintances vci’y rapidiy multi
lies. We have not had one glimpse of
hem since the night wo kissed them good
iy, and they went away, but still vvo stand
razing at heaven. As when some of our
riends go across the sea we stand on the
lock or on tho steatu tug and watch them,
:nd after awhile the hulk of the vessel dis
ippo.ars, and then there is only a patch of
ii! on the sky, and soon that is gone, and
hey are all out of sight, and yet we stand
ookiiig in the same direction, sowhen our
riends go away from us into the future
>orld vvo keep looking down through the
-larrows and gazing and gazing as though
ve expected that they would conic out and
band on some cloud and give us one
iimpse of their blissful and transfigured
aces.
. While you long to join their companion
hip, and the years and tho days go with
uch tedium that they break your heart,
?nd tho viper of pain and sorrow and be
eavomont keeps gnawijig at your vitals,
■ou stand still, like Stephen, gazing into
leaven. Y’ou wonder if they have changed
inee you saw them last. You wonder if
hey would recognize your faee now, so
.’hanged has it been with trouble. You
vonde.r if amid the myriad delights they
>avc they caro as much for you as they
ised towhen theygavte you a helping hand
md put their shoulder under your bur
lens. You wonder if they look any older,
md sometimes in the evening tide, when
ho house is "all quiet, you wonder if you
should call them by their first name if
t hey would not answer, and perhaps srfsno
simes you do make the experiment, ai;d
when no one but God ami yourself are
ibero you distinctly call their names nnd
listen and sit gazing into heaven.
Stephen JLooks Upoa Christ.
Pass on now and see Stephen looking
upon Christ. My text says he saw the Son
of Man at- tho right hand of God. Just
how Christ looked in this world, just how
ho looks in heaven, we cannot say. A
vriter in the time of Christ says, describ
ing tho Saviour’s personal appearance,
that luvlui'i blue eyes and light complexion
and a very graceful structure, but I sup
pose it was all guesswork. The painters
of the different ages have tried to imagine
the features of Christ and put them upon
canvas, but vve will have to wait until
with our own eyes wo see him and with
our own ears we can hear him And yet
there is away of seeing and hearing him
npw. I have to tell you that unless you
see and hear Christ on earth you will nev
er see and hear him in heaven. Look!
There he is. Beheld the Lamb of God.
Can you not see him? Then pray to God to
take the scales off your eyes. Look that
way—try to look that way. His voice
comes down to you this day—comes down
to the blindest, to the deafest soul, saying,
“ Look unto me, all ye ends of tho earth,
and be ye saved, for I am God, and there
Is none else. ” Proclamation of universal
emancipation for all slaves! Proclamation
of universal amnesty for all rebels! Bel
shazzar gathered the Babylonish nobles to
his table, George I entertained the lords
of England at a banquet, Napoleon 111
welcomed the czar of Russia nnd the sul
tan of Turkey to bls feast, the emperor of
Germany was glad to have our minister,
George Bancroft, sit down with him at his
table, but tell me. ye who know most of
the world’s history, what other king ever
asked the abandoned and the forlorn and
the wretched and the outcast to come and
sit beside him?
Oh, wonderful invitation! You can take
it today and stand at the head of the dm k
est alloy in any city, and say: “Come!
Clothes for your rags, salve for your sores,
a throne for your eternal reigning.” A
Christ that talks like that and acts like
that and pardons like that —do you won
der that Stephen stood looking at him? I
hope to spend eternity doing the same
thing. I must see him; I must look upon
that face once clouded with my sin, but
now radiant with my pardon. I want to
touch that hand that knocked off my shac
kles. I want to hear that voice which pro
nounced my deliverance. Be.hold him,
little children, for if you live to threescore
years and ten you will see none so fair.
Behold him, ye aged ones, for he only can
shine through the dimness of your failing
eyesight. Behold him, earth. Behold
him, heaven. What a moment when all
tbe nations of the saved shall gather
around Christ ! All faces that way. All
thrones that way, gazing on Jesus.
His worth if i\ll the nations knew
Sure the whole earth wonld lova him too.
Stephen'* Martyrdom.
I pass on now and look at Stephen
atoned. The world has always wanted to
zet rid of good men Their very lifo is nn
assault upon wickerlness. Our. with Ste
phen through the gates of the city. Down
with him over tbe precipices. Let every
man come up and drop a stone upon his
head. But these men did not so much kill
Stephen M they killed themselves. Every
stone rebounded upon them. While these
murderers were transfixed by tbe scorn of
al! good men Stephen lives in tbe admira
tion of ail Christendom. Stephen stoned,
but Stephen alive. So all good men must
be pelted. All who will live gcdly in
Christ Jesus must suffer persecution. It
is no eulogy of a man to say that every
body likes him. Show me any one who is
doing all his duty t-o state or church, and
I will show you men who utterly abhor
him.
If all men speak well of you, ft is be
cause you are either a laggard or a dolt.
If a steamer makes rapid progress through
the waves, the water will boil and foam
all around it. Brave soldiers of Jesus
Christ will hear tbe carbines click. When
I see a man with voice and money and in
fluence all on the right side and some car
icature him and some sneer at him and
some denounce him and men who pretend
to be actuateil by right motives conspire
to cripple him, to cast him out, to destroy
him, I say, “Stephen stoned!”
When I see a man in some great moral
or religious reform battling ngainst grog
shops, exposing wickedness in high places,
by active means trying to purify the
church and better the world’s estate, and
I find that some of the newspapers anathe
matize him and men—even-good men—
oppose him and denounce him because,
though be does good, he does not do it in
their way, I say, “Stephen stoned!” The
world, with infinite spite, took after John
Frederick Oberlin and Paul and Stephen
of tbe text, but you notice, my friends,
that while they assaulted him they did not
succeed really in killing him. You may
assault a good man, but you cannot kill
him.
On tho day of his death Stephen spoke
before a few people in the sanhedrin.
Now he addresses all Christendom. Paul
the apostle, stood on Mars hill addressing
a handful of philosophers who knew not
so much aiiont science as a modern school
girl. Today ho talks to all the millions of
Christendom about the wonders of justifi
cation and tho glories of resurrection.
John Wesley was howled down by tho mob
to whom lie preached, and they throw
bricks at him, and they denounced him,
and they jostled him, and they spat upon
him, and yet today, in all lands, ho is ad
mitted to be the great father of Metho
dism. Booth’s bullet vacated tho presiden
tial chair, but from that spot of coagulated
blood on the floor in the box of Ford’s
theater there sprang up the now lifo of a
nation. Stephen stoned, but Stephen
alive!
Stephen'* Dying Prayer.
Pass on now nnd see Stephen in his dying
prayer. His first thought was not how
the stones hurt, bls head, nor what would
become of his body. His first thought
was about his spirit. “Lord Jesus, re
ceive my spirit !’’ Thcmurderer standing
on the trapdoor, tho black cap being drawn
over his head before the execution, may
grimace about the future, but you and I
have no shame in confessing some anxiety
about where we are going to come out.
You are not all body. There is within
you a soul. I soe it gleam from your eyes
and I soo it irradiating your countenance.
Sometimes I am abashed before an audi
ence not because 1 come under their phys
ical eyesight, but because I realize the
truth that I stand before so many immor
tal spirits. The probability is that your
body will at last find a sepulcher in some
of the cemeteries that surround your town
or city. There is no doubt but that your
obsequies will bo-decent and respectful,
and you will be able to pillow your head
under the maple, or tho Norway spruce,
or the cypress, or tho blossoming fir, but
this spirit about which Stophen prayed—•
what direction will that take? What, guide
will escort it? What gate will open to re
ceive it? What cloud will be cleft for its
pathway? After it has got beyond the
light of our sun, will there be torches
lighted for it tho rest of the way? W’ill
the soul have to travel through Jong des
erts before it reaches the good land? If
wo should lose our pathway, will there be
a castlo at whose gate we may ask tho way
to the city? Oh, this mysterious spirit
within us! It has two wings, but it is in
a cage now. It is locked fast to keep it,
but let tho door of this cage open the least,
and that, soul is off. Eagle’s wing could
not catch.it. The lightnings are not swift
enough to take up with it. When tho soul
leaves the body, it takes 50 worlds at a
bound. And have I no anxiety about it?
Have you no anxiety about it?
I do not caro what you do with my body
when my soul is gone or whether you be
lieve in cremation or inhumation. I shall
sleep just as well in a wrapping of sack
cloth as in satin lined with eagio’s down.
But my soul—before this day passes I will
find out whore it will land. Thank God
for tho intimation of my text, that when
wo die Jesus takes us. That answers all
questions for mo. What though there wore
massive bars between hero and tho city- of
light, Jesus could remove thorn. What
though there were great Saharas of dark
ness, Jesus could illume them. What
though I get weary on the way, Christ
could lift me on his omnipotent shoulder.
What though there were chasms to cross,
his band could transport me. Then let
Stophen’s prayer bo my dying litany,
“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” It may
be In that hour we w ill be too feeble to
say a long prayer. It may bo in that hour
wo will not bo able to say the “Lord's
Prayer,” for it has seven petitions. Per
haps we may be too feeble even to say the
infant prayer our mothers taught us',
which John Quincy Adams, 70 years of
ago, said every night when he put his head
upon his pillow:
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
We may be too feeble to employ either
of these familiar terms, but this prayer of
Stephen is -so short, is so concise, is so
earnest, is so comprehensive, we surely
will ba able to say that, “Lord Jesus, re
ceive my spirit.” Oh, if that prayer is
answered, how sweet it will be to die!
This world is clever enough to us. Per
haps it has treated us a great deal better
than we deserve to be treated, but if on
the dying pillow there should break the
light of that better world wp shall have no
more regret about leaving a small, dark,
damp house for one large, beautiful and
capficious. That dying minister in Phila
delphia some years ago beautifully depict
ed it when in the last moment' he threw
up his hands and cried out, “I move into
the light!”
Stephen Aslesp.
Pass on now, and I will show you one
more picture, and that is Stephen asleep.
With a pathos and simplicity peculiar to
the Scriptures the text says of Stephen,
“He fell asleep.” “Oh,” you feay, “what
a place that was to sleep! A hard rock
under him. stones falling down upon
him, the blood streaming, the mob howl
ing. What a place it was to sleep 1“ And
yet my text takes that symbol of slumber
to describe his departure, so sweet was it,
so contented was it, so peaceful was it.
Stephen had lived a very laborious lifo.
His chief work had been to care for the
poor. How many loaves of bread he dis
tributed, how many bare feet he had san
daled, how many cots of sickness and dis
tress he blessed with ministries of kind
ness and love I do not know, but from the
way he lived and the way he preached and
the way he died I know he was a laborious
Christian But that is all over now. He
has pressed tho cup to the last fainting
lip. He has taken the last insult from his
enemies. The last stone to whose crush
ing weight he is susceptible has been hurl
ed. Stephen is dead 1 The disciples come.
They take- him up. They wash away the
blood from the wounds. They straighten
out the bruised limbs. They brush back
the tangled hair from the brow, and then
they pass around to look upon the calm
countenance of him who had lived for the
poor and died for the truth. Stephen
asleep 1
1 have seen tbe sea driven with the hur

ed and driven coming down at last to on
infinite calm, in which there was tbe hush
of heaven's lullaby.
Stephen asleep! I saw such a one. He
fought all his days against poverty and
against abuse. Tney traduced his name.
They rattled at tbe doorknob while be was
dying with duns for debts he could not
pay, yet the peace of God brooded over bis
pillow, and while tbe world faded heaven
dawned, and the deepening twilight of
earth s night was only the opening twi
light of heaven’s morn. Not a sigh; not
a tear; not a struggle. Hush! Stephen
asleep!
1 have not the faculty to tell tbe weather.
I can nhver teli by the setting sun whether
there will be a drought or not. I cannot
tell by the blowing of the wind whether it
will be fair weather or foul on the mor
row, but I can prophesy, and I will proph
esy, what weather it will be when you,
the Christian, come to dia. You may
have it very rough now. It may be this
week one annoyance, the next another an
noyance. It may be this year one bereave
ment, the next another bereavement. Be
fore this year has passed you may have to
beg for bread or ask for a scuttle of coal or
a pair of shoes, but at the last Christ will
conic in, and darkness will go out, and,
though there may be no hand tocloseyour
eyes and no breast on which to rest your
dying bead and no candie to lift tho night,
the odors of God’s hanging garden will
regale your soul, and at your bedside will
halt tbe chariots of the King. No more
rents to pay, no more agony because flour
has gone up, no more struggle with “the
world, the flesh and the devil,” but peace
—long, deep, everlasting peace. Stephen
asleep!
Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep!
A ealm and undisturbed repose,
Uninjured by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be,
But there is. still a blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep.
You have seen enough for one morning.
No one can successfully examine more
than five pictures in a day. Therefore we
stop, having seen this cluster of divine
Raphaels—Stephen gazing into heaven,
Stephen looking at Christ, Stephen stoned.
Stepbun in his dying prayer, Stephen
asleep.

Rev. F. F Reese Preached a Magnificent
Sermon.
■Rev. F. F. Reese, the rector of Christ
Church, preached last night to one of the
■largest night congregations ever "seen in
the church. Some time ago Mr. Reese an
nounced tha he would preach a series of
sermons on the ten commandments. As the
series went on the congregations have
grown larger, and last night was made up
of a large number of members of the con
gregation who have no ibeen in the habit
of attending the night services. The ser
mon was preached on the seventh com
mandment, ‘ Thou shalt not commit adul
tery.” In the course of his sermon Mr.
Reese touched on the subject of divorce
land the stand taken by the Episcopal
church. He said that the church did not
permit dieorce except for the cause against
which this comandme.nt is directed. None
but the innocent parties in the event of
siic'h divorce are allowed to rejnarry, and
in the event of the guilty party remarry
ing he or she cannot receive the sacrament
of the church except on the approach of
death. On this point Mr. Reese was par
ticularly emphatic. His ermon was deli
cate and cloqirent in the handling of a
very difficult sermon.

A SPLENDID LECTURE
Was the One Delivered at the Y. M. C. A.
Yesterday.
The lecture delivered at the Y. M. C. A.
yesterday afternoon by Hon. Nat Harris,

being discussed at the Y. M. C. A. this
mouth.
The suuj’ect afforded Mr. Harris excel
lent scope for a strong talk to the large
crowd of young men present, and the lec
ture did much good.
