FEAST OF THE REDEMPTION,
Talmage Preaches on the Greatest
of Festivities.
The Lord the Banqueter and Angela
the Cup-bearers The Halla of Eter
nal Love, Frescoed With Light and
Paved With Joy, the Banquet Hall.
The Feast of Eternal Continuance.
Brooklyn. N. Y., Jan. 28.—The usual
large audience assembled in the taberna
cle to-day and listened to a sermon of re
markable power and interest by Kev.
Dr. Talmage, the subject being “Festiv
ity.” The test selected was Luke 14: 17,
“Come, for all things are now ready.’’
It was one of the most exciting times
in English history when Queen Elizabeth
visited Lord Leicesterat Kenilworth
castle. The moment of her ar
rival was considered so important
that all the clocks of the castle
were stopped, so that the hands might
point to that one moment as being the
most significant of all. She was greeted
to the gate with floating islands and
torches, and the thunder of cannon, and
fireworks that set the night ablaze, and
a great burst of music that lifted the
whole scene into perfect enchantment.
Then she was introduced in a dining hall,
the luxuries of which astonished the
world; four-hundred servants waited
Upon the guests; the entertainment cost
$5,000 each day. Lord Leicester made
that great supper in Kenilworth castle.
Cardinal Woisey entertained the
French ambassadors at Hampton Court.
The best cooks in all the land prepared
for the banquet; purveyors went out and
traveled all the kingdom over to find
spoils for the table. The time came. The
quests were kept during the day hunting
In the king’s park, so that their appetites
might be keen : and then, in the evening,
to the sound of the trumpeters, they were
Introduced into a hall hung with silk and
cloth of (fold, and there were tables a-glit
ter with imperial plate, and laden with the
rarest of meats, and a-blush with the
costliest wines: and when the second
course of the feast came, It was found
that the articles of food hud been fash
ioned into the shape of men, birds and
beasts, and groups dancing, and Jousting
parties riding against each other with
lances. Lords, and princes, and ambas
sadors, out of cups filled to the brim,
drank the health, first of the King of
England, and next of the King of France.
Cardinal Woisey prepared that great sup
per in Hampton Court.
But I have to tell you of a grander en
tertainment. M.v Lord, the king is the
banqueter. Angels are the cup-bearers.
All the redeemed are the guests. The
halls of eternal love, frescoed with light,
and paved with joy, and curtained with
unfading beauty, aro the banqueting
place. The harmonies of eternity are the
music. The chalices of heaven are the
plate ; and I am one of the servants com
ing out with both hands filled with invi
tations, scattering them everywhere: and
Oh, that for yourselves, you might break
the seal of the invitation and read the
words written in red ink of blood by the
tremulous hand of adyingCbrist: “Come,
now, for all things are ready.”
There have been grand entertainments
■where was a taking off—the wine gave
out, or the servants were rebellious, or
theiight failed; but I have gone all around
about this subject and looked at the re
demption which Christ has provided, and
I come here to tell you It is complete, and
I swing open the door of the feast, telling
you that, "All things are now ready.”
In the first place, I have to announce
that the Lord Jesus Christ himself is
ready. Cardinal Woisey came into the
feast after the first course; he came in
booted and spurred, and the guests arose
and cheered him. But Christ comes in at
the very beginning of tho feast: aye, he
has been waiting eighteen hundred and
ninety-four years for his guests. He has
been standing on his mangled feet; he has
had his sore hand on his punctured side;
or he has been pressing his lacerated tem
ples--waiting, waiting. It is wonderful
that he has not been impatient, and that
he has not said, “Shut the door, and let
the laggard stay out;” but he has been
waiting. No banqueter ever waited for
hiß guests so patiently as Christ has
waited for us. To prove how willing he
is to receive us, I gather all tbe
tears that rolled down his cheeks
in sympathy for your sorrows:
1 gather all the drops of blood that
channelled his brow, and his back, and
his hands and feet, in trying to purchase
your redemption ; I gather all the groans
that he uttered in midnight chill, and in
mountain hunger, and in desert loneli
ness. and twist them into one cry—bitter,
agonizing, overwhelming. I gather all
the pains that shot from spear, and spike,
and cross, jolting into one pang—remorse
less. grinding, excruaiating. 1 take that
one drop of sweat on his brow, and under
the gospel glass that drop enlarges until
i see in it lakes of sorrow and mi ocean of
agony. That being standing before you
now, emaciated, gashed, and gory, coaxes
for your love with a pathos i‘n which
every word is a heart-break and every
sentence a martyrdom. How can you
think he trifles?
Ahpsuerus prepared a feast for one hun
dred and eighty days; but this feast is for
all eternity. Lords and princes were in
vited to that; you, and I.and all our
world are invited to this. Christ is ready.
You know that the banqueters of olden
time used to wrap themselves in robes
prepared forJthe occasion; so, my Lord
Jesus hath wrapped lumsclf in all that is
beautiful. See how fair he is! His eye.
his brow, his cheek, so radiant that the
stars have no gleam, and the morning no
brilliancy compared with it. His face re
flectinahll the ioys of the redeemed, his
hand having the omnipotent surgery with
which he opened blind eyes, and
straightened crooked limbs, and hoisted
the pillars of heaveu, and swung the
twelve gates which are twelve pearls.
There are not enough cups in
heaven to dip up this ocean
of beauty. There are not ladders
enough to scale this hight of love. There
are not enough cymbals to clap, or harps
to thrum, or trumpets to ]>eal forth the
praises of this one altogether fair Oh,
thou flower of eternity, thy breath is the
perfume of heaven! Oh, blissful day
break, let all people clap their hands in
thy radiance! Chorus! Come, men, and
saints, and cherubim, and seraphim, and
archangel—all hights, all depths, all im
mensities. Chorus! Itoll him through
the heavens in a chariot of universal ac
claim, over bridges of hosannas, under
arches of coronation, along by the great
towers chiming with eternal Jubilee.
Chorus! “Unto him who hath loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, to him be glory, world without
end!”
I have a word of five letters, but no
sheet white enough on which to write It,
and no pen good enough with which to in
scribe it. Give me the fairest leaf from
the heavenly records—give me the pencil
with which the angel records his victory
—and then, with my hand strung to super
natural ecstasy, and my pen dipped in the
light of the morning. I will write it out in
capitals of love: ‘ J-E-S-U-S. ” It is this
one, infinitely fair, to whom you are in
vited. Christ is waiting for you: waiting
us a banqueter waits for the delayed guest
—the meats smoking, the beakers brim
ming. the minstrels with fingers on the
stiff string, waiting for the clash of the
hoofs at the gateway. Waiting for you,
as a mother waits for her son who went
off ten years ago, dragging her bleeding
heart along with him. Waiting! O! give
tue a comparison intense enough, hot
enough, importunate enough to express
my meaning—something high as heaven,
and deep as hell, and long as eternity.
Not hoping that you can help me with
such a comparison, I will say: "He is
waiting as only the all-sympathetic Christ
can wait for the coming back of a lost
soul.”
Bow the knee and kiss the son.
Come, and welcome, sinner: come.
Again, the holy spirit is ready. Why is
it that so many sermons drop dead—that
Christian songs do not get their wing un
der the people —that so often prayer goes
no higher than a huuter’s "holloa?” It
is because there is a link wanting—the
work of the holy spirit. Unless that
spirit give grappling hooks to a sermon,
and lift the prayer, and waft the song,
everything is a dead failure. That spirit
is willing to come at our call and lead you
to eternal life; or ready to come with the
same power with which he unhorsed Saul
on the Damascus turnpike, and brok"
down Lydia in her fine store, and lifted
the three thousand from midnight into
miduoon at the Pentecost. With that
power the spirit of God now beats at the
gate of your soul. Have you not noticed
what homely and insignificant instru
mentality the spirit of God employs for
man's conversion? There was a man on a
Hudson river boat to whom a tract was
offered. With indignation he tore it up
and threw it overboard. But one frag
ment lodged on his coatsleeve; and he
saw on it the word “eternity;” and he
found no peace until ho was
prepared for that great future.
Do you know what passage
it was that caused Martin Luther to see
the truth? “The just shall live by faith.”
Do you know there is one—just one pas
sage that brought Augustine from a life
of dissipation? “Put ye on the Lord Jesus
Christ and make no provision for the flesh
to fulfill the lusts thereof.” It was just
one passage that converted Hedley Vicars,
the great soldier, to Christ: “The blood
of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.”
Do you know that the holy spirit used one
passage of scripture to save Jonathan
Edwards? “Now, unto the king, eter
nal, immortal, invisible, the only wise
God,our Saviour, be glory.” Oneyear ago
on Thanksgiving day, i read for my text:
“Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is
good; for his mercy endureth forever.”
And there is a young man in the house to
whose heart the holy spirit took that
text for his eternal redemption. 1 might
speak of my own oaso. I will tell you I
was brought to the peace of the gospel
through r the Syro-Phoenician woman’s
cry to Christ: “Even the dogs eat of
the crumbs that fall from the Master's
table.”
Do you know that the holy spirit almost
always uses insignificant means f Eloquent
sermons never save anybody; metaphysi
oal sermons never save anybody; philoso
phical sermons never save anybody. But
the minister comes some Sabbath to his
pulpit, worn out witli engagements and
the jangling of a Jfrenzicd door bell;
he baa only a text and two or three ideas,
but he says : “O Lord, help me. Here
are a good many people i may never
meet again I have not much to say.
Speak thou through my poor lips:” and
before the service is done there are tear
ful eyes and a solemnity like the judg
ment. The great French orator, when
the dead king lay before him, looked up
and cried: "God only is great:’’ and
the triumph of his eloquence has been
told by the historians. But I have not
heard that one soul was saved by the ora
torical flourish. Wordly critics may
think that the early preaching of Thomas
Chalmers was a masterpiece. But
Thomas Chalmers says he never began
to preach until he came out of the sick
room, white and emaciated, and told
men the simple story of Jesus, in the great
day of eternity, it will be found that the
most souls have been brought to Christ,
not by the Bossuets, and Massillons, and
Bourdaloues, but by humble men who, in
the strength of God, and believing in the
eternal spirit, invited men to Jesus.
There were wise salves—there were ex
cellent ointments, 1 suppose, in the time
of Christ, for blind or iuflamed eyes. But
Jesus turned his back upon them, and
put the tip of his finger to his tongue, and
then, with the splittle that adhered to
the finger, he annotated the eyes of the
blind man, and daylight poured into his
blinded soul. So it is now that the spirit
of God takes that humble prayer-meeting
talk, which seems to be the very saliva of
Christian influence, and anoints the eyes
of the blind, and pours the sunlight of
nardon aud peace upon the soul. Oh, my
frieni.l wish we could feel it more and
more, that if any good is done it is by the
power of God’s omnipotent spirit. Ido
not know what hymn may bring you to
Jssus. Ido not know what words of the
scripture lesson I read may save your
soul. Perhaps the spirit of God may
hurl the very text Into your heart:
“Come, for all things are now reudy.”
Again, the church is ready. Oh, man,
If I could take the curtain off theseChris
tlan hearts, I oould show you a great
many anxieties for your redemption. You
think that old man Is asleep, because his
head is down aud his eyes are shut. No,
he is praying for your redemption, and
hoping that the words spoken may strike
yoar heart. Do you know the air is full
of prayer? Do you know that prayer is
going up from Fulton street prayer meet
ing, and from Friday evening prayer
meeting, and going up every hour of the
day for the redemption of the peoplo!
And if you should just start toward the
door of theChristianlchurch, howquickly
it would fly open. Hundreds of people
would say: “Give that man room at the
sacrament. Bring the silver bowl for his
baptism. Give him the right hand of
Christian fellowship. Bring him into all
Christian associations.” Oh, you wan
derer on the cold mountains, come into tho
warm sheepfold. I let down the bars and
bid you come in. With the shepherd's
crook I point you the way. Hundreds of
Christian hands beckon you into tho
church of God. A great many people do
not like the church, and say it is a great
mass of hypocrites; but it'is a glorious
church with all its imperfections. Christ
bought it, and hoisted the pillars, and
swung its gates, and lifted its arches,
and curtained it with upholstery crimsou
with crucifixion carnage. Come" into it.
We are a garden walled around
Uhoscn and made peculiar ground;
A little spot enclosed by grace,
Out of the world s wild wilderness.
Again, the angels of God are ready. A
great many Christians think’that the talk
about angels is fanciful. You say it is a
very good subject for theological students
who have just begun to sermonize; but for
older men it is improper. There is no more
proof in that Bible that there is a God
than that there are angels. Why, do not
they swarm about Jacob’s ladder? Are
we not told that they couducted I .a/.nrus
upward? That they stand before the
throne, their faces covered up with their
wings, while they cry: “Holy, holy, is
the Lord God Almighty!” Did not David
see thousands and thousands? Did not
one angel slay one hundred and eighty-five
thousand men in Seunacherib’s army?
And shall they not be the chief harvesters
at the judgment?
There is a line of loving, holy, mighty
angels reaching to heaven. I suppose they
reach from here to the very gate, and
when an audience is assembled for Chris
tian worship the air is full of them. If
each one of you have a guardian augcl,
how many celestials there are hen-. They
crowd the place, they hover, they flit
about, they rejoice. Look, that spirit is
Just come from the throne. A moment ago
it stood before Christ and heard the dox--
ology of the glorified. Look! Bright im
mortal, what news from the golden city?
Speak, spirit blest! The response conies
melting on the air: “Come, for all things
are now ready!" Angels ready to bear
the tidings, angels reudy to drop tho bene
diction, angels ready to kindle the joy.
They have stood in glory—they know ail
about it. They have felt the joy that is
felt where there are no tears and no

graves; immortal health, but no invalid
ism ; songs, but no groans: wedding bells,
but no funeral torches—eyes that never
weep—hands that never blister —heads
that never faint hearts that never break
—friendships that are never weakened.
Heady, all of them! Heady thrones,
principalities and powers! ready seraphim
and cherubim! Heady Michael the arch
angel !
Again, your kindred in glory are all
ready for your coming. 1 pronounce
modern spiritualism a fraud ami a sham.
If John Milton and George Whitefield
have no better business than to crawl un
der a table and rattle the leaves, they
had better stay at home in glory. While
1 believe that modern spiritualism is bad,
because of its mental and domestic rav
ages, common sense, enlightened by the
word of God, teaches us that our friendp
in glory sympathize with our redemption.
This Bible says plainly there is joy in
heaven among the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth: and if angels re
joice and know of it, shall not our friends
standing among them, know it! Some of
these spirits in glory toiled for your re
demption. When they came to die, their
chief grief was that you were not a
Christian. They said: "Meet me in
heaven;” and put their hand out from
the cover and said: “Good-bye.”
Now, suppose you should cross
over from a sinful life to a holy
life. Suppose you should be born into
the kingdom. Suppose you should now
say: “Farewell, O, deceitful world I Get
thee gone, my sin? Fie upon all the fol
lies! O, Christ, help me or I perish. I
take thy promise. I believe thy word. I
enter thy service.” Suppose you should
say and do this? Why, the angel sent
to you would shout upward: “He is com
ing!” and the angel, poising higher in tho
air, would shout it upward : “He is com?
tag;” and it would rnn all up the line of
light, from wing to wing, and from trum
pet to trumpet, until it reached the gate;
and then it would flash to “the house of
many mansions,” and it would find out
your kindred there, and before your
tears of repentance had been willed from
your cheek, and before you had finished
the first prayer, your kindred in glory
would know of it, and another heaven
would be added to their joy, and they
would cry: “My prayers are answered;
another loved one saved Give me a harp
with which to strike the joy. Saved!
saved! saved!”
If 1 have shown you that “all things
aro ready.” that Christ is roady, that the
holy spirit is ready, that the church is
ready, that the angels in glory are ready,
that your glorified kindred" are ready,
then with all the concentrated emphasis
of my soul, 1 ask you if you are ready?
You see my subject throws the whole re
sponsibility upon yourself. If you do
not get in to the king's banquet, it is be
cause you do not accept tho invitation.
You have the most importunate invita
tion. Two arms stretched down from
the cross, soaked in blood from elbow to
finger-tip; two lips quivering in mortal
anguish: two eyes beaming with infinite
love, saying: "Come, come, for all things
are now ready.”
1 told you that when the queen came to
Kenilworth castle, they stopped all the
clocks, that the finger of time might be
pointed to that huppy moment of her ar
rival. Oh !if the king would come to the
castle of your soul, you might well afford
to stop all the clocks, that the hands
might forever point to this moment as the
one most bright, most blessed, most tre
mendous. Now, 1 wish I could go around
from circle to circle and invite every one
of you, according to the invitation of my
text, saying: “Come!” 1 would like to
take every one of you by the hand, and
say: “Come!” Old man, who hast been
wandering seventy or eighty years, thy
sun almost gone down, through the dust
of the evening stretch out your withered
hand to Christ. He will not east thee off,
old man. Oh ! that one tear of repentance
might trickle down thy wrinkled cheek.
After Christ has fed thee all thy life long,
do you not think you can afford to speak
one word in his praise ?
Come, those of you who are farthest
away from God. Drunkard! Christ can
put out the fire of thy thirst. He cun
break that shackle. He can restore that
blasted home. Go to Jesus, Libertine!
Christ saw thee where thou wert lust
night. He knows of thy sin. Yet, if
thou wilt bring thy polluted soul to him
to him this moment, he will throw over it
the mantle of his pardon and love. Mercy
for thee, Ol thou chief of sinners.
Harlot! thy feet foul with hell, and thy
laughter the horror of the street—oh,Mary
Magdalen—look to Jesus. Mercy for thee,
poor, lost waif of the street. Self-righteous
man, thou must be born again, or thou
canst not see the kingdom of God. Do
you think you can get into the feast with
thoso rags? Why, the King's ser
vant would tear them off and leave
you naked at the gate. You must
be born again. The day is far
spent. The cliffs begin to slide their long
shadows across the plain. Do you know
tlie feast has already begun—the feast to
which you were invited —and the king
sits with his guests, and the servant
stands with his hand on the door of the
banqueting room, aud he begins to swing
it shut. It is half-way shut. It is
three-fourths shut. It is only just ajar.
Soon it will be shut.
“Come, for all things are now ready.”
Havel missed one man? Who has not
felt himself called this hour? Then I call
him now. This is the hour of thy re
demption.
While God invites, how blest the day,
How sweet the gospel s charming sound!
Come sinner, haste, oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.

KILLED BY A KNIFE.
A Row Among Negroes Near Blakely
Costs a Life.
Blakely, Ga., Jan. 28.—Last night on
the route to a negro festival, William
Henderson and John White on one side
and Charley Lyons and Will Powell on
the other, became involved in a drunken
row, in which William Henderson was
killed and others cut. Lyons and Powell
were in a wagon with a white man
named Swan, when Henderson and White
drove up behind in a road cart and Lyons
cursed the negroes in the wagon. Lyons
and Powell got out of the wagon and
Henderson out of the road cart. In the
row that ensued Henderson was stabbed
behind the shoulder. Henderson ran
off into the woods and the other
three negroes separated, leaving Swan.
When the negroes first got off the wagon
to go back to those in the road cart, Swan
drove on.
g CUT FOK HELP UNHEEDED.
Henderson soon began to cry for help
and was heard by George Alexander,
who lived near, but whose wife objected
to his going out in the darkness to ascer
tain who it was. When Mr. Alexander
arose this morning, to his surprise, he
found Henderson in his yard dead. He
had crawled from the scene of the diffi
culty to Alexander’s yard hunting help,
but death had overtaken him. The coro
ner’s jury found the killing murder,
charging Will Powell with being the prin
cipal, and Charley Lyons and John White
as accessories before the fact. Powell
was shot through the kneecap in being ar
rested by Marshall Mulligan.
HUMAN BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.
A. V. Palmour Guilty of Voluntary
Manslaughter In Serving the Law.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—The jury in the
case of A. V. Palmour, on trial at Gaines
ville for murder, brought in a verdict
this evening, finding him guilty of volun
tary manslaughter in the commission of a
lawful act. Palmour is one of a posse
which went out from Gainesville last fall
to arrest a supposed murderer named
Daughdiel, from Alabama. There were
six in the party. They understood that
there was a large reward for the fugitive,
and they were informed that he
was in hiding at the residence
of a Mrs. Martin, several miles away.
They surrounded the house. At day
break a man came out of the house. The
posse covered him with guns and ordered
him to surrender. He started to run and
the members of the party say he fired on
thorn with a pistol. They fired at him
and killed him. It turned out later that
he was the widow’s son. who had just
come home from Texas. Daughdiel was
afterward captured on the Pacific slope
and taken to Alabama.
FRAUDS IN INSURANCE.
Companies Doing Business With no
Assets to Meet Losses.
Cincinnati, 0., Jan. 2S.—Considerable
excitement exists in insurance circles in
this city over the sensational arrest in
Cleveland yesterday of a number of
prominent men engaged in the business,
as well as over the fact that several well
known local companies are kuown to be
under tfce espionage of postoffice
inspectors. Tho postoffice inspector in
charge, J. F. Salmon, of this city, re
turned home yesterday from Cleveland,
where he had been called several days
ago by a telegram from United States At
torney Brinsmade. of that city, to investi
gate the business methods of several in
surance companies. There Inspector
Salmon found evidence that the suspect
ed insurance companies have beeu doing
a big business on the claim that they had
over 8100,000 capital stock, when, in fact,
they had really bo assets worth mention
ing. Among those concerns was the Cres
cent Insurance company, which in Octo
ber, 1892, claimed to have a capital of
8148.938, with which to pay claims to
its policy holders. The company went
into a receiver’s hands last May, and the
receiver, Attorney Mason, stated tnat
when he took hold he found the assets
were less than S2OO, although the com
pany had issued polies to the amount of
SBO,OOO. Inspector Salmon caused the
arrest of F. G. Drake, the vice president
and treasurer, and W. S. Jasper, the
secretary of the company, on the charge
of using the mails for a scheme to de
fraud.
He also caused the arrest of F. C. Ar
terholt, the attorney and general mana
ger of the Ohio Fire Insurance Company
on a similar charge. This company
claimed to have a capital of over SIOO,OOO
and the indications are that it has no as
sets whatever with which to pay losses.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS, *
A STARTLING FACT, ~ \
That very few persons have perfect eye*. It
must be evident that It requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
wbo trust this work to unlnslructed dealers
are criminally careless of the moat valuable
of oil the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optica in New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, ae that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and Improve your eyesight Instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glossed
will always do. No charge for examination.
