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.

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 hands AND SEEK AFT Ell CHRIST and get an expression »f His benefac¬ tion and his mercy. la the first place, m hearers, take Christ into your con fldenee. If you can not trust Him, 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 your soul with pc Lot abandonment, and hurl yourself i;s the deep sea of his mercy. 11 o comes and was. *1 will save you.’ If you do nor ’Link ho is a hyp • ■cite and a liar when he says that, be¬ hove him and say; L rdJ«mu8 ,1 believe, boro is ray heart.

Why per¬ ish with hunger? Again, I advise you as one of tho best things you can do with Christ is to TAKE HIM INTO YOUR LOV15. Now there are two things which make us Ioie any one—inherent attractiveness and then what, ha does in the way of kindness towaid us. Now Christ is iu both rhes.? positions. Inherent attrac¬ tiveness. Fairer than the children of men, the lustre of the morning in His eye, tho glow of the setting fun iu Hia cheek, myrrh ana frankiDcensa iu the breath of his 1 j pa. In a heaven of b dy beings the best. In a heaven of great hear 13, the reuderest, tho most sympa¬ thetic. Why, sculpture has never yet Ic-vri able to chisel his form, nor paint¬ ing to present the flush of bis nor music to strike his charms; and tho great surprise of eternity wiil be— the greatest surprise of eternity will be the first moment when we rush into his presence, and with uplifted hoods and streamisg eyes, and heart'; bounding with rapture, wa cry out; ’That is Jesus!’ All over -potions i my Lord, He mast os loved, and yet adorer!; His worth if ail Ui : nations !;view, Sure, cue whole u.uuh would iovo 11 too.
