Subject: “An Only Son.’*
Text • “Now when Ho cam© ntgh to the
Rato of the pity, behold thero was a dead
man carried oat, tho only son of his mother,
and she was a widow, and much people of
tho city was with her. And when tho Lord
saw her Ho had compassion on her and said
unto her, Weep not, an l Ho cam© and
touched the Mcr, and thov that bore him
•too 1 still. And Ho said, Young man, 1 say
unto thoo nrls*! And ho that Was dea l sat
up and bocran to sunk, anl Ha deliver© 1
him to his mother.”—Luke vii , 1215,
Th© text'Ln'lsus to stan 1 at tho gate Of
tho city of Nnin. Tho street* are n-rmh with
business and gayety, and tho ear Is dea f cnod
with tho hammers of mechanism and tho
whorls of trad!•». Work, with Its thousand
arms and thousand eyes and thousand fe*»t,
fills nil the street, when suddenly th© crowd
parts, and a funer.il passes, Between tho
wheels of work and pleasure there com*** a
long procession of mourning peopK Who
la It? A trifl *,r says : “Oh, it s nothing but
a funeral. It may have come up from tho
hospital of the city, or the nlmshoiMO, or
some low place of tho town*” t-ut not so, says
the serious observer.
There are so many evidences of dire be
reavement tbftl we know at the first glance
some one has been taken away greatly be
loved, nnd to our inquiry. “Who is this that
Is enrriod out with so many offic'** of kfft!•
ness and affection?” the reply mifi©*, “The
only son of his mother, anl She a widow.”
Stand back and let the procession pass out!
Hush all tho voices of mirth and nlen a urel
Lot every head ho uncovered 1 Weep with
this passing procession an l let It be told
through nil the market plums anl bazaars
ol Naln that In Galilee to-day the sepulcher
hath gathered to Itself “the only son of his
mother, and she a widow.”
There are two or three things that, in my
mind, give especial* pathos to this SCeno.
The first i«, he was a young man that Was
being cnrrind.ouf. To the aged death be
comes beautiful. The old man halls and
pnnts along the road, where once he bound
ed like the for. From the mldnt Of immedi
cable ailments on 1 sorrows he cries out,
“How long, Lord, how long!” Footsore
nnd hardly bestead on the hot journey, he
wants to got iiomc. He sits In the church
nnd Bings, with a tremulous voice, some tune
ho sang forty years ago and longs to join the
tatter assemblage of the one hundred nnd
forty an t tour thousand who have passed
tho flood. How sweetly he sleepA the last
sleep ! Push back the white locks from the
wrinkled tempies. They will never ache
again. Fold the Imn Is over the still heart.
They will never toil again. Close gently the
eyes. They will never weep again.
But this man that I am speaking of was a
youDg man. He was just putting on the
armor of life, and h« was exulting to think
how his sturdy blows would rlnft out above
the clangor oi the battle. I suppose ho had
a young man’s hopes, a young man’s ambb
tlons and a young man’s courage. He said t
“If I live many years, I will feedthe hungiy
and clothe the naked. In this city of Naln,
where there are so many bad young men, I
will be sober and honest and pure and rang**
nanimous, and my mother shall never be
ashamed of me.” But all these prospects
are blasted In one hour. There he p isses
lifeless In the procession. Behold all that is
left on earth or the high hearted young man
of the city of Naln.
There Is another thing that adds vory
much to this scene, and that is ho was an
only son. However largo the family flock
may be, we never could think of sparing one
of the lambs. Though they may all have
their faults, they all have their excellencies
that commend them to tho parental heart,
ami If it were peremptorily demanded of you
to-day that you should yield up one of your
children out of a very large family you
would bo contounded and you coukl not
make a selection. But this was an only son,
around whom gathered all tho parental ex
pectations. How mu3h care in his educa
tion ! How much caution In watching his
habits ! He would carry down tho name to
other times. He would have entire control
of the family property long after the parents
had gone to their last reward. He Would
stand In society a thinker, a worker, a phil
anthropist. a Christian. No, no. It is all
ended. Behold him there. Breath Is gone.
Life is extinct. The only son of his mother.
There was one thing that added to the
pathos of this scene, nnd that was his mother
was a widow. The main hope of that home
had been broken, and now he Was come Up
to be the staff. The chief light of the house
hold has been extinguished, and this was
tho only light left. I suppose she often said,
looking at him, “There are only two of us.”
Oh, It Is a grand thing to s"a a young man
step out in life and say to his mother;
“Don’t bo down hearted. I will, as far as
fossible, take father’s place, and as long as
live you shall never wint anything.” It Is
not always that way. Sometimes the young
people get tired of the old people. They
say they are queer ; that they have So many
ailments, and they so netimes wish them out
of the way. A young man and his wife sat
at the table, their little son on the floor play
ing beneath the table. Tho old father was
very old, and his hand shook, so they said,
“You shall no more sit w th us at the table.
And so they gave him a place In the corner,
whera, day by day, he ate out of nn eurfheu
bowl—everything put into that bowl. One
day his hand trembled so much he dropped
it, nnd It broke, an l the son, seabdd at the
elegunt table In midfloor, said to his wife,
“Now wedl get father a wooden bowl, and
that he can’t break.” So a wooden bowl
was obtained, and every day old grand
father ate out of that, sitting in the corner.
One daj*. while the elegant young man and
bis wlfo were seated at their table, with
chased silver and all the luxuries, and their
little son sat upon the floor, they saw the
lad whittling, and they said • “My son, what
are you doing there with that knife?”
“Ob,” said he, “I —Fin making a trough for
my father and mother to eat out of when
they get obi!”
But this young man of the text was not
of that character. He did not belong to that
school. I can tell it from the way they
mourned over him. lie was to bo tho com
panion of his mother. Ho was to be his
mother’s protector. He would return now
some of the kindness he had received in the
days of childhooi nnd boyhood. Aye, he
would with his strong hand uphold that
form already enfeebled with age. Will he
do it? No, In one hour that promise of
help and companionship is gone. There is
n world of auguish in that one short phrase,
“The only son of his mother, and she u
widow.”
Now, my friends, it was upon this scene
that Christ broke. He came in without any
introduction. He Gtoppod tho procession.
He hud only two utterances to make—the
one to tlie mourning mother, the other to
the dead, lie cried out to the mourning
one, “Weep pot,” and then, touching the
bier on which the son lay, He cried out,
“Young man, I say unto thee arise!” And
he that was dead sat up.
I learn two or three things from this sub
ject, and tl rot that .Chimt wis a man. You
see now that sorrow played upon all the
chords of His heart. I think that wo forget
this too often. Christ was a man more cer
tainly than you are, for He was a perfect
man. No sailor ever slept in ship’s ham
mock more soundly than Christ sNpt in that
boat on Gennesaret. Iu every nerve and
muscle and bone and fiber of H»s body, in
every emotion and affection of His heart, in
every action and decision of His mind Ho
was a man.
He looked off upon the sea just as you look
off upon the waters. He went into Martha’s
house ju*t as you go info a cottage. Ho
breathed hard when He was tired, just ns
you do wheu you are exhausted. He felt
after sleeping out a night in tho storm just
like you do when you have boon expose! to
a tempest. It was just as humiliating for
Him to beg bread as it would be for you to
become a pauper. He felt just as much in
sulted by being sold for thirty pieces of sil
vei as you would if you were sold for the
price of a dog. From the crown of tho head
to the sole of the foot Ho was a man. When
the thorns were twisted for His brow, they
hurt Him just as much as they hurt your
brow if they were twisted for It. He took
not on Him the nature of angels. He took
on Him tho seed of Abraham. “Ecce Homo!”
behold the man!
But I must also draw from this subject
that He was a God. Suppose that a man
should attefapt to break up a fuueral
quy. He would bo seizedby the law. he
would be imprisdfco 1, if h«vw *re ngt actually
slain by the mob before the officers could
secure him. If Christ had been a mere mor
tal, would He have a right to come in upon
such a profession? Would He have suc
ceeded la His interruption? He was more
than a man. tor wheu He cried our, “I say
unto thee, arise !” he that was dead sat up.
What excitement there must have been there
about ! The body had lain prostrate. It ha l
been mourned over with agouizlng tears,
and yet now it beg ns in move in the shrou 1
and to be flushed with life, nnd at the com
mand of Cnrlst he ria«s up an! looks into
the faces of the astonish© l spectators.
“Oh, this was the work of a God I
hear it in His voice ; I see it in the fl ish of
H s eye; I behold It in the snapping of
death s shackles; I see it in the face of
the rising slumberer; I hear it in the out
cry of ail those who were spectators of toe
scene. If, when I see my Lord Jesus Christ
mourning with the bereaved, I put my hands
on His shoulders and say, “My brother,”
deliverances, t look tip into His face And
say with Thomas, “My Lord an l my God.”
Do you not think He was a God? A great
many people do not believe that, and they
compromise the matter, or they think they
compromise It. They say Ho was a very
goo 1 man, but ft« was not aGo I. That is
impossible. He was either a God or a
wretch, and I will prove It. If a man pro
fesses to be that which he is not, what is he?
He Is a liar, an impostor* a hypocrite. That
is your unanimous Verdict. Now, Christ
professed to be a God, He said over and
ovnt again Ho was a Go I, took the attributes
of a God aod assumed the works and offices
of a God, Dare you now say He was not?
He was a God, or He was a wretch. Choose
ye.
Do you think I cannot prove by this Bible
that lie was a God? If you do not believe
this Bible, otcourse there Is no need of my
talking to you, There is no common data
from which to start. Suppose you do be
lieve* it. Then lean demonstrate that He
was divine. I can prove He Was Creator,
John l.» 3, “All things were ma le by Him,
rd i without Him was not anything made
that Wan made.” He was eternal, Bcvelatioa
xxil.. 13, “I am A'p'm an 1 O.nega, the be
ginning and the ©ud* the first and the last.”
I , can > proVe that He was omnipotent,
IlebreWs i.. 10, “The heavens are the work
of Thine hen Is.” I can prove He was
omniscient* John 11., 25, “Ho knew what
whs in mam” Oh, yes, He Is aGo 1. Ho
cle't the sea. He upheoved the crystalline
Wails along which tno Israelite marched.
He planted the mountains. He raises up
govern ments an l casts down thrones an l
marches across nations an l across worlds
and across tho nuivarso* eternal* omnipo
tent, un'iin lefudah l unabashe 1. That hand
that was Hailed to the cross holds tho stars
Ift ft irtash of love. That heal that droppel
on the bosom in fainting an! death shall
make the world quake at Its nd L That voice
that groaned in tufi bust pang shall fcwear be
fore tnd ttoiAbling world that time shall be
ho longer. Oh, do not Insult tho common
s-nse of the race by telling us that this per
son was only a man in whose presence the
paralytic arm was thrust but well u aild the
devils crouched, and the lepers 'droppil
their scales, nn l the tempests folded tfielr
wings* and the boy’s satchel of a foW loave*
made a banquet lor 5000* nrtd the sad prdees
s on of my text broke up in congratulation
an! hosanrta!
Asfalh, I learn from this subject that Christ
was n syinpatnizer. Mark you, this wus a
city fuueral. In tho country, when the bell
tolls, they know all about it for five miles
around, and they know what was the matter
with the man, how #ld ho wis and what
wore his last experiences. They know with
what temporal prospects he ha 3 left his fam
ily. There is no haste, there is no indecency
In the obsequies. There Is nothing done ns
a mere matter of business. Even the chil
dren come out hs the profession passes and
Jook sympathetic* and the tree shadows
seem to deepen, and tho brooks weep ia
sympathy as tho procession goes by. But,
in :rk you, this that I am speaking of was a
city fun ral. In great cities the cart jostles
tbe hoarse* an 1 There is mirth an l gladness
nnd indifference ns the weeping procession
goes by. In this city of Naln it was a com
mon thing to have trouble and bereavement
and death, Christ saw it every day there,
Perhaps that vory hour there were others be
ing carrie 1 our, but this frequency of trouble
did not harden Christ's heart at all. He
stepped right out, nnd He saw this mourn"r*
and He had eompassiou on her, and He sal 1
“Weep not!”
Now I have to toll you. O bruisol Boil's,
and thero are many everywhere—have you
eVer locked over any great audience nnd no
ticed how many shadows of sorrow there
are? I come to all such an! say* “Christ
rmv'ts you, and He has compassion on you,
andHosays, ‘Weep not.’” Perhaps with
Koraa it is financial trouble. “Oh,” you say,
“it is such a silly thing for a man to cry
over lost money!
Is It? Suppose you had a largo fortune,and
all luxuries brought to.your table, and you t
wardrobe was lull, and your home v*as beau
tiful by music anl sculpture nnd painting
and thronged by the elegant And educate!,
and then some round misfortUno should
strikeyou in thelace and trample your treas
ures and taunt your children for their faded
dross and yoU Into commercial circles
an underling where once you waved a scepter
of gold, do you think you would cry then? I
think you would. But Christ comes and
meets all such to-iny. He seo9 all the straits
in which you have been thrust. Ho observes
the sneer of that man who once was prou l
to walk in your shadow and glad to g«t your
help. He sees the protested noto, the un
canoeled judgment, the foreclosed mortgage,
the heartbreaking ex ispor.ation* and Hesays
“Weep nor. I own the cattle on a thousari I
hills, I will hover let you starve, Front My
hand the fowls of heaven peck till their food.
And Will I ltd you starve? Never: no* My
Child* never!”
Perhaps It may be a living homo trouble
that you cuuuot speak about to your best
frleud. It may bo some domestic unhap
pin-ss. It may bo an evit suspicion. It may
be the rllsgraco following in the footsteps ot
nson that Is wayward, or a companion who
is cruel, or n father that will not do right,
and for yenrs there may have been a vulture
striking its beak Into the vitals of your soul,
nnd yon sit there to-day feeling ft Is worse
than death. It is. It is worse than death.
And yet there is retie'. Though the night
mny bo tho blnekest, though the voices ot
hell mny tell you to curse Go 1 nnd die. look
up and hear the voice thnt accosted tho
woman of the text ns It saj-s, “Weep not.’’
Karth hath no sorrow
That heaven cannot euro.
I learn, again, from all this thnt Christ Is
tho master of tho grave. Just outside tho
frateofthecity Death and Christ measured
ances, nnd when tho young man rose Dnith
dropped. Now wo are sure of our resurrec
tion. Oh, what a scene it was when that
young man came back I Tho mother never
•xpeeted to hear him speak again, She
never thought that he would kiss her again.
llow tho tears started mid how her heart
throbbed as she said, “Ob. my son, my son,
my son !” And that scene is going to be re
peated. It is going to be repeated 10,000
times. Thase broken family circles have got
to come together, Thoso extinguished
household lights have got to be rekindled.
There will be a stir in the family lot in the
cemetery, and there will bo a rush into life
at the command, “Young man, I say unto
thee arise !” As tho child shakes off the dust
of the tomb nnd comes forth fresh and fair
and beautiful, nnd you throw your arms
around It and press it to your heart, angel
to angol will repeat the story of Naln, “He
delivered him to his mother.” Did you no
tice that passage in the text as I read it?
“He delivered him to his mother.” Ob, ye
troubled souls! Oh, ye who have lived to
see every prospect blasted, peeled, scattered,
consumed, wait a little! The seedtime of
tears will become the wheat harvest. In a
clime cut of no wintry blast, under a sky
palled by no hurtling tempest and amid re
deemed ones that weep not, that part not,
that die not, friend will come to friend, and
kindred will join kindred, and the long pro
cession that marches the avenues of gold
will lift up tneir palms as again and again it
is announced that the same one who oame to
the relief ot this woman of the text oame to
the relief of many a maternal heart and re
f>eated the wonders of resurrection and de-
Ivered him to his mother.” Oh, that will
be the harvest of the world. That will bo
the coronation of princes. That will be the
Sabbath of eternity.
COITON OUEIiATIYES STRIKE.
Eleven Thousand Idle at New Bed
ford, Massachusetts.
Monday morning the cotton opera
tives of New Bedford, Mass., inaugu
rated their general strike and nearly
11,000 are idle. The machinery of hut
five of the twenty-seven mills in the
city will be shut down with the others.
The manufacturers have nothing to
say, but the notices of reduction
against which help rebel are still
posted.
The strike promises to be the most
important that ever occurred in the
textile industry in Massachusetts. Tho
manufacturers must fight perfectly or
ganized unions, some of which are
fairly wealthy. Notable in this par
ticular is the Spinnerß’ Union, which
has a fund in its treasury aggregating
at least $30,000. The spinners have
voted, however, not to touch any of
this money for n month.
The executive committee of the Na
tional Spinners’ Union met at Boston,
nnd it was the sentiment of the meet
ing that the action of the New Bed
ford spinners in striking was just, ss
was also that of Fall River spinners in
voting to accept a reduction and sup
port them. It was voted to assess all
spinners in the ‘country 50 cents a
week for three weeks, and at the end
of that time, if a settlement was not
reached, to call a convention of mule
spinners in Boston.
The Stockyards Strike OS.

Saying* and Doings of the President
and Members of the Cabinet.
Cleveland Will Not Sign It.
The honse leaders received a straight
tip Tuesday. It was that President
Cleveland had finally decided not to
sign the tariff Dill. He will not veto
it, hut will permit it to become a law
at the expiration of ten days. This
Would send congress home on the 29th.
The senate finance committee Friday
morning adjonrned shortly after meet
ing without accomplishing anything.
The republicans, who had "alien over
night to consider the matter, decided
that they would permit nothing to be
done until tho democrats had filled the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Vance.
It has been rumored generally in
Washington that Mr. Carlisle will
leave the cabinet and that Mr. Wilson,
of West Virgiuia, will take his place.
The rumor is based on the statement
that President Cleveland was ignorant
of the letter which Secretary Carlisle
sent to Senator Harris, chairman pro
tetn of the finance committee,
"* The senate committee on the judi
ciary has made an adverse report to
the senate on the nomipation of the
Hon. James D. Porter, to be United
States judge of the eastern and middle
district of Tennessee. It is understood
that tho opposition is based on the
ground that Potter, while a resident
of the state, lives outside of the dis
trict over which ho was appointed to
preside.
The house and senate now meet only
to adjourn. The end of the long ses
sion of congress is practically at an
end. A quorum Could not be produced
in cither house even by the aid of the
sergeout-at-arms. Members of congress
are leaving on every train to escape
the stifling heat of the national capi
tal, and to work for their own re-elec
tion. The senators who are not in
danger of defeat arc sojourning at
near-by watering places.
The three vacancies in the grades of
assistant paymaster in the navy were
filled Monday morning by appoint
ments, which the president signed at
Gray Gables on Saturday. The fortu
nate young men are Morton Ramsay,
son of Admiral Bamsay, at present
acting secretary of the navy; Guy Rod
gers, son of Captain Alexander Rod
gers, of the army, and grandson of
the late Admiral Rodgers, and Joe
Johnston Cheatham, of Tennessee.
The river and harbor bill, officially
known as “an act making appropria

preservation of Certain public works
on rivers nnd harbors and for other
purposes, 1 ’ was received at the depart

The New York Exchange Says That It
Is Good Delivery.
Many letters have been received by
the New York cotton exchange, both
for and against the use of sugar bag
cloth for baling cotton. The board of
managers, after a full discussion of the
matter, have passed the following res
olutions :
“Resolved, That many inquiries
having been received by the New York
cotton exchange as to whether or not
the use of what is known as sugar bag
cloth in covering cottou is contrary to
the rules of the exchange, these«r tary
is instructed to advise the southern ex
changes and others known to be inter
ested in this matter of the fact that
cotton covered by such bagging con
stitutes a good delivery under the
rules of this exchange.*’

Electric Victorias.
In Berlin, we are told, thero are sev

iu and out of the city each day. They
•have been built by German electri

guided by a man who sits in the dri

three or four steam and electrical car

Traveling Advertisements.
“The snn do move.” So does adver

The latest device for advertising pur
poses was recently patented. It is an
ordinary pneumatic tired safety bicy

transfer roller located so as to infringe

consequent impression oft repeated on

A Novelty Safety Boiler.
A French engineer, M. Chatenel,
has invented a safety boiler of a novel
character. The boiler consists of a
nest of horizontal tubes placed over
tho furnace. Into this nest water is
injected in the form of a spray, under
which conditions it is instantaneously
evaporated and superheated. “Solid”
water is never admitted to the tubes.
The evaporative power of the boiler is
remarkable, and the tubes do not burn
out.— Engineer.

This instrument, according to tbe

them out of the other end ready for

perfected,as it adheres to the" phonotio
system of spelling and outrages Web

many of its human competitors, its

that nil these defects will be remedied.
