JBJECT: "THE FACTS PROVED." *Tli« Religion of CTirtat U Able to Convert m bool”—An Lloqin rreached Yesterday, 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> ing, and yon cannot stop thinking In that direction.

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.
