REV. Dll. TAI.MAGE. l’HK NOTED DIVINE’S SUNDAY DISCOURSE. Subject: « C An Angelic Rescue.” Text: “Behold the fire and tho wood, but where is the lamb?”—Genesis xxii., 7. Here are Abraham and Isaac, the one n kind, old. gracious, Affectionate father, the other a brave, obed ient, religious son. From his bronzed appearance you can tell that this son has been much iu the fields, and from his shaggy dress yon know that he has been watching tho herds. Tho mount ain air has painted his cheek rubicund. He is twenty or twenty-five or, as some sup pose, less thirty-tlireo boy, years of age, neverthe a considering the length of life tc which people lived in those times and the fast that a son never is anything but a boy to a father. I remember that my father used to come into tho house when the chil dren were home on some festal occasion aud say, “Where are the boys?” although “the boys” were twenty-five and thirty aud thirty-five years of age. Ro this Isaac is only a boy to Abraham, and this father’s heart is in him. It is Isaac hero and Isaac there. If there is any festivity around the father's tent, Isaac must enjoy it. It is Isaac's walk, and Isaac’s apparel, and manner.-, aud Isaac's prospects, and Isaac’s prosperity. The father’s heartstrings are all wrapped around that boy and wrapped again, until nine-tenths of the old man’s life is in Isaac. I can just imagine how lovibgfy-and proudly he looked at his only son. Well, the dear old man had borne a great deal of trouble, and it lmd ieft its mark story upon him. written In hieroglyphics from of wrinkle the was forehead to chin. But now his trouble seems all gone, and we are glad that he is very soon to rest forever. If tho old man shall get decrepit, Isaac is strong enough to wait on him. If the father get dim of eyesight, Isaac will lead him by the hand. If the father become destitute Isaac will earn him bread. How glad wo are that the ship that has been in such a stormy sea is coming at last into the harbor. Are you not rejoiced that glorious old Abra ham is through with his troubles? No, no! A thunderbolt! From that clear eastern sky there drops into that father’s tent a voice with an announcement enough to tarn black hair white and to stun the patriarch into instant annihilation. God said, “Abraham!” The old man answered, “Here I am,” God said to him: “Take thy son, thy only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering.” In other words, slay him; cut his body into fragments; put the frag ments on wood; set fire to the wood and let Isaac's body be consumed to ashes. “Cannibalism! Murder!” says some one. “Not so.” said Abraham’. I hear him solilo quize. "Here is the boy on whom I have de pended! Oh, how I loved him! He was given in answer to prayer, and now must I surrender him? O Isaac, my son! Isaac, how shall I part with you? But then it is always safer to do as God asks me to. I have been iu dark places before, and God got me out. I will implicitly do as God has told me, although it is very dark. I can’t see my way, hut I know God makes no mistakes, and to Him I commit myself and my darling son.” Early in the morning there is a stir arouud Abraham’s tent. A beast of burden is fed and saddled. Abraham makes no disclosure of the awful secret. At the break of day he says: “Come, come, Isaac, get up! We are going I off on a two or three days’ journey.” hear the ax hewing and splitting amid the wood until the sticks aro made the right length and the right thickness, and then they aro fastened on the beast of burden. They pass on. There are four of them— Abraham, the father; Isaac, the son, and two Isaac servants. Going along the road I see looking up into his father’s face and saying: “Father, what is the matter? Are yon uot welt? Has anything happened? Are you tired? Lean on my arm.” Then, turn ing around to the servants, the son says, “Ah. father is getting old. and he has had trouble enough in other days to kill Mm!” The third morning ba3 come, and it is the day of the tragedy. The two servants are left with the beast of burden, while Abra ham and his son Isaac, as was the custom of good people in those times, went up on tbe hill to sacrifice to the Lord. The wood is taken off the beast’s back and put on Isaac's back. Abraham has in one hand a pan of coals or a lamp and in the other a sharp, keen knife. Here are all the appliances for sacrifice, you say. No, there is one thing wanting. There is no victim—no pigeon or heifer cr lamb. Isaac, not knowing that he is to be the victim, looks up into his father’s face and asks a question bone. which “My must have cut the old man to the father!” The father said, “My son. Isaac, here I am.” Tho son said, “Behold the fire aud the wood, but where is the lamb?” The father’s lip quiv ered. and his heart fainted, and his knees knocked together, and his entire body, mind and soul shiver in sickening anguish as he struggles to gaia equipoise, tor he does not want to break down. Aud then he looks into his son’s face with a thousand rushing tendernesses and says, “My son. God will provide Himself a lamb.” The twain are now at the foot of the "hill, the place which is to be famous for a most transcendent occurrence. build They gather some stones out of the field aud an altar of throe or four feet high. Then they take this wood off Isaac’s back and sprinkle it over tho stones, so as to help and invite the flame. The altar is done—it is all done. Isaac has helped to build it. With his father he has discussed whether the top of the table is even and Whether the wood is properly pre pared. Then there is a pause. The son looks around to see if there is not some liv ing animal that can be caught and butchered for tho offoriug. Abraham tries to choke down his fatherly feelings and suppress bis grief in order that he may break to his son the terrific news that lie is to be the victim. Ah, Isaac never looked more beautiful than ou that day to his father. As the old mau ran his emaciate I fingers through his sou’s hair he said to himself: “How shall I give him up? What will his mother say when I come hack without my boy? I thought he would have been tho comfort ol my declining days. 1 thought he would have been the hope of ages to come. Beau tiful and loving, and yet lo die under my own hand. O God, Is there not some other sacrifice that will do? Take my life and spare his! Pour out my blood and save Isaac for hts mother and the world!” But this was an inward struggle. The father controls his feelings and looks into his son’s face and says, “Isaac, must I tell you all?” His sou said: “Yes, lather; I thought you had something on your mind. Tell it.” The father said, “My sou, Isaac, thou art the lamb!” “Oh,” yon say, “why didn’t that young man, if he was twenty or thirty years of age. smite into the dust hts infirm father: He could have done if.” Ah, Isaac knew by this time that the scene was typical of a Messiah who was to come, and so he made no struggle. They fell on each other’s neck anil wailed out the parting. Awful anil matchless scene of the wilderness! Tht rocks « -ho back the breaking of their hearts. The cry, “Mv sou, my sou!” The answer, “Mv father, my father!” Do not comparo this, as some people have, to Agamemnon willing to offor up daughter, Iphlgenia, to please the gods. There is nothing comparable to this wonder nil obedience to tho truo God. You know that victims for sacrifice wero always bound, so that they might not struggle a way. Raw lings, the martyr, when he was dying for Christ’s sake, said to the blacksmith who held the manacles, “Fasten those chains tight now, for my flesh may struggle might ily.” So Isaac’s arms were fastened, his feet are tied. The old man, rallying all his strength, lifls him on to a pile of wood. Fastening a thong on one sideoftho altar, he makes it span the body of Isaac, and fas tens the thong at theotlierside of the altar, There and another is the thong, lamp flickering and another in the thong. wind ready to'be put under the brushwood of the altar. There is the knife, sharp and keen. Abraham—struggling with his mortal feel ings on ihe one side and tho commands of God on the other—takes that knife, rubs tho flat of it on the palm of his hand, cries to God for help, comes up to the side of the altar, puts a parting kiss on tho hr aw of hts boy, takes a message from him for mother and home, and then lifting tho glit tering weapon for the plunge of the death stroke—his muscles knitting for the work— the hand begins to descend. It falls! Not on God, the heart of Isaac, the stroke, but on making the arm the oi who arrests wilderness quake with the cry. “Abraham. Abraham, lay not thy hand upon the lad, nor do him any harm!” What is this sound back in the woods? It is a crackling as of tree branches, a bleating and a struggle. Go. Abraham, and see what it is. Oh, it was a ram that, going through the woods, has in its the crooked horns fastened and entangled brushwood and could not get loose, and Abraham seizes it gladly and quickly unloosens Isaac from the altar, puts the ram on his place, sets the lamp uu dor the brushwood of the altar, and as the dense smoke of tho sacrifice begins to rise the blood rolls down tho sides of the ultai and drops hissing into tho lire, aud I hear the words, “Behold the Lamb of God who tho sins of the Well, what are you going to get out ol this? There is an aged minister of the gos pel. He says: “I should get out of it that when God tells you to do a thing, whether it seems reasonable to you or not, go ahead and do it. Here Abraham couldn’t have been mistaken. God didn’t speak so indistinct ly that it was not certain whether he called Sarah or Abimelech or somebody else, but with divine articulation, divine intonation, divine emphasis, he said, ‘Abraham!* Abra ham rushed blindly ahead to do his duty, knowing that things would come out rigbt. Likewise do so yourselves. There is a mys tery of your life. There is some burden you have to carry. You don’t know why God has put it on you. There is some persecu tion, some trial, and yon don’t know whj God allows it. Thero is a work for you tc do. and you have not enough grace, you think, to ilo it. Do as Abraham did. Ad vance and do your whole duty. Be willing to give up Isaac, and perhaps you will not have to give up anything. ‘Jehovah-jireh’ —the Lord will provide.” A capital lesson this old minister gives us. Out yonder in this house is an aged woman, tbe through light of heaven in her face. Shs is half way the door. She has hei hand on the pearl of the gate. Mother, what would you get out of this subject? “Oh,” she says, “I would learn that it is in the last pinch that God comes to the relief. You see. the altar was ready, and Isaac was fastened on it, and the knife was lifted, and just at the last moment God broke in and stopped proceedings. So it has been in my life ot seventy years. Why. sir, there was a time when the flour was all out of the house, and I set the table at noon and had nothing to put on it, but five minutes of 1 o’clock a loaf of bread came. The Lord will provide. My son was very sick, and I said:‘Dear Lord, you don’t mean to take him away from me. do you? Please, Lord, don’t take him away. Why, and there are neighbors who have three four sons. This is my only son. This is my Isaac. Lord, you won’t take him away from me. wilt You?’ But I saw he was getting worse and worse alt the time, and I turned round and prayed, until after awhile I felt submissive, and I eouTd say, ‘Thy will, O Lord, be done!’ The doctors gave him up, and we all gave him up. And. as was the custom in those times, we had made the grave clothes, and we were whispering about the last exercises, when I looked and I saw some perspiration on his brow, showing that the fever had broken, and he spoke to us so naturally that I knew he was going to get well. He did get well, and my sou Isaac, whom I thought was go ing to be slain and consumed of disease, was loosened from that: altar. And, bless your souls, that’s been so for seventy years, and if my voice were not so weak, and if I could see better, I could preach to you younger people a sermon, for though Ican’tsee much I can see this—whenever you get into a tough place and your heart is breaking, if you will look a little farther into the woods, you will see, caught in the branches, a sub stitute and a deliverance. ‘My son. God will provide Himself a lamb. Thank you. mother, for that short sermon. I could preach back to you for a minute oi two and say. never do you fear! I wish I had half as good a hope of heaven us you have. Do not fear, mother. Whatever I happens, no hatm long will ever happen to you. I was going aged up a flight of stairs and saw an woman, very decrepit and with a cane, creeping on up. She made but very little progress, and I felt very exuberant, and I saidto her, “Why, mother, that is no way to go upstairs.” and I carried and her I threw and my arms her around down her up put on the landing at the top of the stairs. She said: “Thank you, thank you. •! am very thankful." O mother, when you get through this life’s work and you want to go upstairs and rest in the good plaoe that God has pro vided for you, you will not have to climb up, you will not have to crawl stretched up painfully. The two arms that were on the cross will be flung around you, and yon will be hoisted with a glorious lift beyoud all weari ness and all struggle. May the God of Abra ham and Isaac be with you until you see the Lamb on the Now, that aged minister has made a sug gestion. and this aged woman has made a suggestion. 1 will make a suggestion: Isaac going up the hill makes me think of the great sacrifice. Isaac, the only son of Abra ham. Jesus, the only son of God. On those two “onlys” I build a tearful emphasis. O Isaac! O Jesus! But this last sacrifice was a more tremendous one. When the knife was lifted over “Stop'” Calvary there was no voice it. that cried and no hand arrested Sharp, keen and tremendous it cut down through nerve and artery until the biood sprayed the faces of the executioners, and the midday sun dropped a veil of cloud over its face because it could not endure the spectacle. O Isaac of Mount Moriah! O Jesus of Mount Calvary! Better could God have thrown away into annihilation a thou sand worlds than to have sacrifled His only Son. It was not one of the ten sons; it was His only Son. would If He had perished. not given “God up Him, vou and I have sc loved the world that Ho gave His only—” 1 stop there, not because I have forgotten the quotation, but because I want to think. "God so loved tho world that He gave Hi: only begotton Son that whosoever believott iu Iiim should not perish, but have everlast ing life.” Great sacrifice. God, break Isaac my heart at only th< thought of that the typical of Jesus the only. SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS. You see Isaac going up the hill and carry Ing the wood. O Abraham, why not taka (he load off the boy? If ho is going to dio so soon. why not make his last hours easy? Abraham knew that in carrying that wood ui> Mount Moriah Isaac was to be a symbol of Christ carrying his own cross tip Calvary. biition cedar. 1 suppose it may have weighed 100 or 200 or 300 pounds. That was the light est part of the burden. All the sins and sor rows of the world wore wound around that cross. The heft of one, tho heft of two worlds— earth and hell were on His shoul ders. O Isaac, carrying the wood offturiflee up Monnt Moriah. O .Tesus, carrvung the wood of sacrifice up Mount Calvary, the agonies of earth and hell wrapped around that cross! I shall never see tho heavy load on Isaacs back that I shall not think of the crushing load on Christ s back. For whom that load? For you. Fo^ you. For me. Forme. Would that all the tears that we have ever wept over our sorrows had been saved until this morning, and that we might now pour thorn out on the lacerated back and feet and heart of the Son of God. You say: “If this young mau was twenty Why'was'itnot^saac'bincHiig^ Btead Abraham Abraham^ 8 in of binding Isaac? The mus cle in Isaac's arm was stronger than the muscle in Abraham’s withered arm. No young man twenty-five years of age would submit to have his father fasten him to a pile of wood with intention of burning.” Isaac was ft willing sacrifice, and so a of Christ who willingly came to save the world. If ail the armies of heaven had re solved to force Christ out from the gate, they could not hava done it. Christ was equal with God. If all the battalions of glory had armed themselves and resolved to put Christ forth and make Him come out and save this world, they could not have succeeded in it. With one stroke He would have toppled over angelic and urchangelic dominion. But there was one thing that the omni potent Christ could not stan 1. Our sorrows mastered Him. He could uot bear to see ihe woi-Ul die without an offer of pardon and help, keep and if back, all heaven had armed itself to Him if the gates of life had been boiled and double barred, Christ would have flung the everlasting doors from their hinges, and hindering would have sprung forth, scat tering the hosts of heaven like chaff before the whirlwind, as He cried: “Lo! I come to suffer. Lo! I come to die.” Christ—a willing sacrifice. Willing to take Bethlehem humilation, and Sanhedrin out rage, and whipping post rnaltreament, and Goljsotha butchery. Willing Willing die. to be W,m» bound, WiHing ro St o save. How does this affect you? Bo not your very best impulses bound out toward this sain struck Christ? Get down at His feet, 3 ve people. Put your lips against the wound ;n His right foot and help kiss away tho oang. Wipe the foam from His dying lip. Get under the cross until you feel the hap :ism of His mshingtears. Take Him into your heart with warmest love and undying mthusiasm. By your resistances you have abused Him loug enough. Christ is willing ro sav. Are willln- to b. saved? It seems to me as if this moment were . throbbing with the invitations of an ail com passionate God. I have been told that tho cathedral of St. Mark stands in a quarter in the center of the eitv of Venice, and that when the clock strikes 12 at noon all the birds from the city and the regions round about the city fly to the square and settle down. It came in this wise: A large hearted woman, passing one noonday across the square, saw some birds shivering in the cold, and she scalteredsome SKSSXa—£ of bread among them, and so on from year to year until the day of her death. In her will she bequeathed a certain amount of money to keep up the same practice, and now, at the flr3t stroke of the bell at noon the birds begin to come there, and whoa the clock has struck 12 the square is covered with them. How beautifully suggestive! Christ comes out to feed thy soul to-day. Tho more hungry you feel yourselves gospel to be the better it is. It is nooo. and tho clock strikes 12. Come in flocks! Come as doves to the window! All the air is filled with the liquid chine: Come! Como! Come! ____ PROMINENT PEOPLE.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. 1 he Industrial Condition as Reported for the fast Week. Tho reports ns to industrial condi tions all over tho south for the week ending Oct. 7, show that the condi tion of the southern iron markets has been strengthened by favorable re ports from tests made of southern low grade basio iron iu making steel. Ad ding another grade of pig iron to the grades already in the market, will in crease business at the furnaces and sustain the iron manufacturers in their efforts to enlarge the business. Coal mining is active and the demand is fully equal to present supplies with no sign of falling off in production or prices. Lumber operators are doing a good business. Railroad orders are coming in quite freeiy, and the expert demand grows larger from week to week. General business is active and prices are lirm. Reports as to tho condition of the cotton crop give no encourage-* rnent, and the reports an to its amount add nothing to previous reports. Ex isting high prices for cotton are partly owing to speculation and are in fact caused by the certaiutyof a short crop. Cotton planters arein no haste to mar ket their crops. There is a goueral belief that the market will not depre ciate materially during tho season, Merchants report that there is less outstanding indebtedness among the planters than li i ver been known. Among important new industries in corporated or established during the week in the southern states are the Tygert River Manufacturing Company, of Woodruff, S. 0., capital $200,000, to build a cotton and woolen mill; a rope and twine mill at Bennettsville, S.
