THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN DAY SERMON. t , r 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. The striki; at the stockyards at Chi cago was declared off Thursday morn iug. The ineu agree to return to work at former wagon.

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 tion for the construction, repair and preservation of Certain public works on rivers nnd harbors and for other purposes, 1 ’ was received at the depart ment Monday morning with a notice that having been presented to the president on she 7th inst., nnd not having been returned by him to the honse of congress in which it origina ted, with the time prescribed by the constitution of the United States, it lias become a law Without his ap proval.

In Berlin, we are told, thero are sev eral Victorias which take their owners iu and out of the city each day. They •have been built by German electri cians, have storage batteries and are guided by a man who sits in the dri ver's seat. In Paris there are also three or four steam and electrical car riages which are permitted by the au thorities of the city to travel over the streets and boulevards of that town. They apparently work with entire smoothness and certainty, and roll along swiftly and only frighten a small percentage of horses. In New York there are two electric carriages which occasionally arouse the sightseers on Fifth avenue and in Central park; but there is, as yet, no demand for convey ances of this kind from the general public.

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.
