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 ■ng nt Cbriat, Stophen stoned, Stephen in nis dying prayer and Stephen a deep. 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 ricane until the tangled foam caught in the rigging, and wave rising above wave seemed as if about to storm the heavens, and then I have seen the tempest drop and the waves crouch and everything become smooth and burnished as though a camp ing place for the glories of heaven. So I have seen a man w hose lifo has been toss- MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 14 1898. 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.

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.
