Thu HAvnoKR, August 21.—[Special.]—
"The Facta Proved" is the subject of discourse
by the Rot. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. P., today.
Bis text is from the 1/tth Terse of Acts III:
"We are witnesses.” Following is his sermon
in full:
In the days of Geo. 8tephenson. the perfcctor
of the locomotive engine* the scientists proved
ecn?!u*i«dl;.&*l»raEw«y train could never
be ddvsn by steam power successfully and
Without peril; but the rushing express trains
from Liverpool to Edinburgh and from Kdin*
burgh to London have made all the nation
witnesses of the splendid achievement. Ma
chinist* and navigators proved conclusively
that a steamer could never cross the Atlantic
ocean; but no sooner had they successfully
proved the impoadbillty of such an un
dertaking than tho work was done* and
the passengers on the Cunard, and the Inman,
and the Katioii|l, and tho White Star lines are
witnesses. There went up a gaffaw of wise
laughter at I*rofessor Morse’s proposition t<
make Uie lightning of heaven his erraud boy,
and it was proved oonclusirely that the thing
could never bo done; but now all t he nsws of
the wide world, by associated press put in your
band* every morning and night, has made all
nations witnesses.
ho in tho tiuio of Christ it was proved con
clusively that it was impossible for him to rise
from the dead. It was shown logically that
When a man was dead, he woa dead, And tho
heart and the liver and tho lungs having
ceased to perform their office*, tho
limbs woiihf be rigid beyond all
power of friction or arousal. They allowed it
to ho nil nhsoluto absurdity that tho dead
Christ should ever got up alive: but no sooner
had they proved this than the dead Christ
arose, and the disciples beheld Him,heard Ills
Voice and talked with Him* and they took tho
Witness stand to prove that to lie true which
the wiseacres of the day had proved to be lin-
possible; the record of the experiment and of
(he testimony is 111 the text, "Him hath God
raised from the dead, whereof we are wit>

There are Christian parents hero who aro
willing to testify to the power of this Gospel to
comfort. Your son had Just graduated from
school or college and was going into business,
and the Lord took him. Or your daugkter had
just graduated from tho young ladies’ seining-
ry and you thought she was going to be a use-
mi woman and of long life; but tho Lord took
her and you wero tempted to say, “All this
culture of twenty year* for nothing!” Or tho
lJttle child came homo from school with the
hot /over that stopped not for the agonized*
prayer or for tho skillful phyvlcUn, and tho
little child was taken. Or the babe was lifted
out of your arms by some quick epidemic, and
you stood wondering why God ever gave you
this child at all, If no noon He wss to tako it
away. And yet you are not ropining, you aro
not fretful, yon are not fighting against God.
