Brooklyn, N, Y., April 3 —In the
Brooklin Tabernacle this morning the
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D.
preached on the subject
WHAT TO DO mil! JESUS ?
The following is the full text of his
discourse:
Text: St. Matthew xxvi;, “ What
<shdll I do with JesusV
Pilato was a base politician. He had
sytnpatbiee. convictions of right and
desires to be honest, but all these were
submerged by a wish to be popular and
to pleas; tho people Two distinguish¬
ed prisoners were in tho grasp of the
Government, and the proposition was
made to free one of them. There stands
Barahbas, the murderer. There stands
Christ, the Savior of the world At the
demand of the people the rengade is set
free, but Jesus is held. As the bard
visagod and cruel-eyed Barahbas goes
among bis congratulating sympathizers
leceiv.ug their .course sympathies and
congratulations, Pilate turns to his other
distinguished.
PRISONER—MILD,
meek, inoffensive, loving, self-sacrific¬
ing, and he is confounded as to what
course ha had better take, so ho impan¬
els tho mob as a jury to decide, saying
to them; “What shall I do, then, with
Jesus?” Oh. it is no dried or withered
question, but one that throbs with warm
and quick pulse in the heart of every
man and woman Imre We mtit do
something with Jesu3 Fie is here. You
and 1 are not so cvrtaioiy here as He is,
for Ho fil s all this place—.he loving.
living, dying Christ—and each ono of j
us will Lave to ask and answer Lr him
seif Vue question: “Wbat ehail I do,
then with Jesus?’ Well, my frieDds.
there are three or four things you can
do with Him.

You can. in tho first placo, let him )

will certainly oive him a chair on which
he may sit. Ho is so weekly you would

marrity and ; our common sympathy and
your cdmtn a sense of propriety will
not filiow you to lot him s’ and without

dry ’Regone!’ Yeti J know-you will not,
treat Jesus that war. 1 know you ton
well. When Pilate could not do that
you could not. If sou were despera¬
does and outlaws 1 might expect it of
you; but 1 know that is uot the way
you will treat him—that that is not
what you will do with Jeans.
There is another thing you can do
with Him. You can io k on him mere¬
ly n3 an optician io cure b hid eyes, or
an aurist, to cure deaf ears, a friend, a
good friend, a helpful companion, a
cheerful passenger on shio-bosrd; but
that will amount to nothing* Yon can
look upon him aa a Sod, and be abashed
as be rouses the storm, or blasts the iig
tree, or heaves a rock Gown the moun¬
tain side.
THAT WILL NOT DO VOLT ANV GOOD,
no more save your soul than the adora¬
tion you have for John . Hiton or Oliver
Cromwell [ can think of only orm
more thing you can do with Jesus, and
that is to take Him ioto your hearts,
That is the best thing you can do with
Him. That is the only safe thing you
can do with him, and may the Lord
Omnipotent, by His spirit, help me this
morning to purauade you to do that.
A minister of Chrisi was spoakiug to
some children and said: ‘I will point
you to Christ/ A little child rose in the
audience and came up and put her
baud in the hand of tj^-a pa-tor and
said: ’Please, sir, take me to Jesus
nmv; I want to go now.” Oh, that it
might bo this morning with such sim¬
plicity of experience that you and I join

wi 'iin can you trust? I do not offer
you a dry theological technicality; I
simply ask you to coma and put both
feet on the “E'x.t of Ages.” Take
hold of Christ's ha; l and draw him to

Now there are two things which make
us Ioie any one—inherent attractiveness

tiveness. Fairer than the children of

thetic. Why, sculpture has never yet
