V ER ALL FOREVER."
CHItIST CAMEANn iriLLKUZT! VKTO
T.UJE EXD OF THIS ITOBLD.
The Faith it Requires to Believe in Christi
anity and th. Faith of the Infidel—Ur
Talmage’s Sermon Last Sunday.
Brooklyn, April 30.—(Special.)—In the
tabernacle this forenoon the large audience
listened with rapt attention to a powerful
discourse by llev. Dr. Talmage who chose
for his subject: “Over AU Forever.” the text
selected being Bomans I), 5; “Christ came
who is over all.”
For 4,(KM) years the world had been wait
ing for a deliverer —waiting while empires
rose and fell. Conquerors came and made
the world worse instead of making it better,
still the centuries watched and waited. They
looked for him on thrones, looked for him in
palaces, looked for him in imperial robe,
looked for him at the head of armies. At
last they found him in a barn. The cattle
stood nearer to him than the angels, for the
former were in the adjoining stall while
the latter were in the clouds. A parentage
of peasantry. No room for him in the inn,
because there was no one to pay the hotel
expense. Yet. the pointing star and the an
gelic cantata showed that heaven made
up in appreciation of his worth what the
world lacked. "Christ came, who is over all,
God blessed forever. Amen.”
But who is this Christ who came? As to
the difference between different deuomina
timis of evangelical Christians 1 have no
concern. If 1 could, by the turning over of
my hand, decide whether all the world shall
at, last be Baptist, or Methodist, or Con
gregational, or .Episcopalian, or I’resby tcrian,
1 would not turn my hand. But there are doc
trines which are vital to the soul. 11 Christ
be not a God, we are idolaters. To this
Cbfristoiogicai question i devote myself
this morning, and pray God that we may
think aright ami do aright in regard to a
question in which mistake is infinite.
1 suppose of the majority of those here to
day assembled believe the Bible. It re
quires as much faith to be an infidel as to
be a Christian. It is faith in a different di
rection. The Christian lias faith in the teach
ings of Matthew, Luke, John. Paul, Isaiah,
Moses. The infidel has faith in the free
thinkers. We have faith in one class of
men. They have faith in another class of
nieu. But as the majority of those, perhaps
all of those here assembled, are willing to
take the Bible for a standard in morals
and in faith, 1 make this book uiy starting
point.
1 suppose you are aware that the two
generals who have marshalled the great
armies against the deity of Jesus Christ
are Strauss and Renan. The number of
their slain will not be counted until the
trumpet of the archangel sounds the roll
call of the resurrection. Those men and their
sympathizers saw that if they could destroy
the fortress of the miracles they could de
stroy Christianity, and they were right.
Surrender the miracles and yon surrender
Christianity. The great. German exegete
says that all the miracles were myths. The
great French exegete says that ;U1 the mira
cles were legends. They propose to take ev
erything supernatural from the life () f Christ,
and everything supernatural from the Bi
ble. They prefer the miracles of human
nonsense to the glorious miracles of Jesus
Christ.
They say there was no miraculous birth
in Bethlehem, but that it is all a fanciful
story, just like the story of Romulus said
to have been born of Rea Silvia and the god
Mars. They say no star pointed to the man
ger; it was only the Hash of a passing lan
tern. They say there was no miraculous mak
ing of bread, but that it is a corruption of
the story that Elisha gave twenty loaves
of bread to a hundred men.‘They say the
water was never turned into wine, but
that it is a corruption of the story that
the Egyptian plague turned the wafer into
blood. They say it is no wonder that
Christ sweat great drops of blood: he hud
been out in the night air and was taken
suddenly ill. They say that there were no
tongues of tire on the heads of the disci
ples at the Pentecost; that there was only
a great thunder storm, and the air was
full of electricity which snapped and flew
all around about the heads of the disciples.
They say that Mary and Martha and
Christ felt it important to get up an ex
citement for the forwarding of their re
ligion, and so they dramatized a funeral
and Lazarus played the corpse, and Mary
and Martha played the weepers, and Christ
was the tragedian. I put it in my own
words, but this is the exact meaning of
their statements. They say the Bible is
a spurious book written by superstitious or
lying men, backed up by men who died for
that which they did not believe.
Now, I take back the limited statement
which I made a few moments ago, when 1
said it requires as much faith to be an in
fidel as to be a Christian. It requires a
thousand fold more faith to be an infidel
than to be a Christian, for if Christianity
demand that the whale swallowed Jonah,
then skepticism demands that Jonah swal
lowed the whale. 1 can prove to you that
Christ was God, not only by the super
natural appearance# on that Christmas
night, but by what inspired men said of
him, by what he says of himself, and by
his wonderful achievements. “Christ
came, who is over all.” Ab! does not that
prove too much? Not over the Caesars,
not over Frederick, not over Alexander
the Great, not over the Henrys, not over
tlie Louises? Tes. Pile all the thrones
of all the ages together, and my text over
spans them as easily as a rainbow over
apans a mountain top. “Christ came, who
is over all.” Then he must be a God.
The Bible says that all things were made
by him. Docs not that prove too much?
Could it be that he made the Mediterra
nean, that he made the Black sea, that he
made the At antic, the Pacific, that he
made Mount Lebanon, that he made the
Alps, the Sierra Nevadas, that he made
the hemispheres, that he made the universe?
Yes. The Bible says so, and lest we be
too stupid to understand. John winds up
with a magnificent reiteration, and says:
“Without him was not anything made that
was made.” Then he was a God.
The Bible says at the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow. All heaven must
come down on its knees. Martyrs on their
knees, apostles on their knees, confessors
on their knees, the archangel on his knees.
Before whom? A man? No, he is a God.
'rhe Bible says every tongue shall confess —
Bornesian, Malayan, Mexican, Italian,
Spanish, Persian. English. Every tongue
shall confess. To whom? God. The
Bible says Christ the same yesterday, to
day and forever. Is that characteristic
of humanity? Do we not change? Does
not the body entirely change in seven
years? Does not the mind change? Does
not the heart change? Christ the same
yesterday, today and forever. He must be
a God.
Philosophers say that the law of gravita
tion decides everything, and that the cen
tripetal and centrifugal forces keep the
world from clashing and from demolition.
But Paul says that Christ’s arm is the axle
on which everything turns, and that
Christ’s hand is the socket in which every
thing is set. Mark the words. “I phold
ing—upholding all things by the word of
his power.” Then he must be a God.
Then look at what Christ says of him
self. Now. eertaiul.v every one must under
stand himself bettor than any one else can
understand him. If 1 ask you where you
were born, and you tell me, “I was born

might think this everywlierativeness would
cease, lie goes on and He intimates that

will be in Europe, Asia, Africa, North
South America the day before the world]
burns up. “Lo, lam with y ,,n (> aluay,
even unto the end of the world.” AV hy,
then, He must be a God.
Besides that, He takes divine honors.
He declares himself Lord of men, angels,
and devils. Is He? If He is. He is a
God. If He is not, He is an impostor.
A man comes into your store tomorrow j
morning. He says, “I tin the great shtji
builder of Liverpool; I have built hun- j
dreds of ships.” lie goes <<n to give his 1
experience. You defer t > him as a man *
of large experience and great possessions.
But the next day you find out that he is
not the great shipbuilder of I iveipool,
that he never built a .'hip, that he never
built anything. What is he then? An im
postor. Christ says 'Io built ii'is world:
He built, all things. Did He build Him?
If He did He is a God. If He did not He
is an impostor.
A man conies into your place of busi
ness, with a Jewish countenance nnd. a
German accent, and says; “1 ani Roths
child, the banker of London; I have the
wealth of nations in my pocket: I loaned
that largo amount to Italy and Austria
in their perplexity.” But after a while
you find that he has never loaned any ir.cn
ev to Italy or Austria,_ that, he new'r bad
a large estate, that he is no banker, at all.
that he owns nothing. What is be? An
impostor. Christ says He owns the cattle,
on a thousand hills. He owns this world.
Ho owns the next world. He owns thojn.i
ver'ie. Ho is the banker of all nations.
Is He? If He is. He is a Go.d. Is lie
not? Then Ho is an impostor.
A man enters the white house at Wash
ington. He says, “I ain Emperor Widiam.
of Germany; I am traveling incognito: 1
have come over here for reorontion and
pleasure; I own Castle'S in Dresden and
Berlin." But lhe president finds <nif the
next day that he Is not Emperor William,
that he owns no castles at Berlin or, Dres
den, that he is no authority. What is he?
An impostor. Christ says He is , the king
over all. the king immortal, invisible. If
He is. He is a God. If He is not, He is
an impostor.
Strauss saw that alternative, and ho
tries to get out of it by saying that Christ
was sinful in accepting adoration and wor
ship. Renan tries to get out of it by say
ing that Christ —not through any fault of
his own—lost his purity of conscience, and
he .slyly intimates that dishonorable women
had damaged his soul. Anyining but be
lieve that Christ is God. Now you believe
the Bible to be true. If you du not you
would hardly have appeared in this church.
You would have gone over and joined the
Broadway Infidel Club, or you would go
to Boston and kiss the foot of the statue
of Thomas Paine. You would hardly come
into this church, where the most of us are
the deluded souls who believe in a whole
Bible and take it all down as easily as you
swallow a ripe strawberry. 1 have shown
yon what inspired men said of Christ, 1
have shown you what Christ said of him
self; now if you believe the Bible, let us
go out and see his wonderful achievements
—surgical, alimentary, marine, mortuary.
Surgical achievements: Where is the med
ical journal that gives any account of such
exploits as Christ wrought? He used no
knife. He carried no splints. He employ
ed no compress. He made no patient squirm
under cauterization. He tied no artery.
Yet behold him! With a word he stu-’k
fast Malchus’s amputated ear. He stirred
a little dust and spittle into a salve and
with it caused a man who was born blind,
and without optic nerve, or cornea, or
crystalline lens, to open his eyes on the I
sunlight. He beat music on the drum of!
the deaf ear. He straightened a woman;
who through cont raction of muscle had'
been bent almose double for well nigh two
decades. He made a man who had no use
of his limbs for thirty-eight years
shoulder his mattress and walk off.
Sir A.stley Cooper, Abernathy, Valentine
Mott stood., powerless before a withered
arm; but this doctor of omnipotent surgery
comes in and he sees the paralytic arm
useless and lifeless at the man's side, and
Christ says to him: “Stretch forth thine
hand, and he stretched it forth whole as
the other.” He was a God.
Alimentary achievements. He found a
lad who had come out of the wilderness
with five loaves of bread for a specula
tion. Perhaps the lad had paid live pennies
for the live loaves, and expected to sell
them for ten pennies, and so he would dou
ble his money. Christ took those loaves
of bread aud performed a miracle by which
he fed seven thousand famishing people,
and 1 warrant you the lad lost nothing, sot
there were twelve baskets of fragments
taken up, and if the boy had five loaves
at the start. I warrant you he had at least
ten at the close.,
The Savior’s mother goes into a neighbor’s
house to help get up a wedding party. By
calculation she finds out. that the amount
of wine is not sufficient for the guests.
She calls in Christ for help, and Christ,
not by the slow decay of fermentation, but
by a word, makes one hundred and thirty
gallons of pure wine.
Marine achievements. He turns a whole
school of fish into the net of men who
were mourning over I heir poor luck, until
the boat is so full they have to halloo to
other boats, and the other boats come up
and they are laden to the water's edge with
the game, so that the sailors have to be
cautious in going from larboard to star
board lest they upset the ship. Then there
comes a squall down through the mountain
gorge, and Gennesaret with long locks of
white foam rises up to battle it, and she
boat drops into a trough and ships a sea,
and the loosened sails crack in the tornado,
and Christ rises from the back part of the
boat and comes walking across the stagger
ing ship until he comes to the prow, and
there He wipes the spray from His brow
and hushes the crying storm on the knee
of His omnipotence. Who wrestled down
that euroclydon? Whose feet trampled the
rough Gallilee into a smooth floor?

in the tenderness of the other. He
says with one breath. “As a father pitieth 1
his children, so the Lord pitieth them that

ly into the blue room, where the presiilent
end Mrs. Cleveland an tiled them. I'he
black frock coat, which Mr. Cleveland
wore, contrasted strongly with the gold
lace and brass buttons of the duke, the
Marquis don do Saavedra and Command
er Dickons. Gold lace was a predominant
feature in the uniform of the duke, while
across bis breast he wore a sash of water
ed silk in variagated colors.
Hardly less brilliant was the costume of
the maiqtiis, while Don de Saavedra out
shone both in pieturesqiieness of a long
cape of white doeskin, reaching nearly to
his heels. The naval uniform of Com
mander Dickens, usually considered very
showy and brilliant, was almost somber
in the contrast it.bore to the attire of the
Spaniads. All of the four men wore
swords, the duke's heavily jewelled.

board of trade, and many other business
organizations, has joined his wife in making

It is estimated, however, that his liabili

ami they' may exceed that sum. The only

WILL THEY BOUNCE AHLWARDT?
He Is Still Causing Lively Times in the
Reichstag.
Berlin, April 30.—When the report of the
committee mt the army bill was presented
to the reichstag a few days ago Herr von
Levetzow, president of t uti propose
that the debate on the report Should op. a
on Tuesday. The leaders of the diileient
groups concurred in the opinion tmit lout
days would suflice for the discussion. No,
a week hence, the fate of the bill will bare
been settled, and one phase of the crisis
ought to be over.
The committee appointed to examine the
documents submitted by Ahlwardt in re
port of the grave charges of corruption,
held a plenary meeting today to discuss
their report. In addition to the members
of the committee. Dr. I’ortisch, centrist;
Dr. von Cuney, national liberal; Herr Be
bel, socialist; Dr. Miquel, Prussian minis
ter of finance; ami Dr. Vonboeltidier, sec
retary of the imperial home oilice. were
present. Herr Bebel described Ahlwardt s
documents as worthless. He declared-that
they' were incorrect copies of old pamph
lets with connected interpolations, badly
spelled, and containing a number of eras
ures. Dr. Miquel had immediately shown
that one letter furnished by Ahlwardt.
and purporting to have been written by
M. Kalindero, president of the Roumanian
senate, in relation to-the 35 per cent al
leged to have been paid to the disconto
gelleschaft. was a forgery' and that no man
named Kilindero was ev.r the presiding
officer of the senate of Rotitnania.
Notwithstanding these dise.osures .Ahl
wardt remained callous and unabashed and
declined to withdraw the charges. The
eomniiltee delegated Dr. I’ortereh and
Herr Bebel to confer with Ahlwardt pri
vately. but the conference did not result
in anything. Ahlwardt declining to with
draw from the attitude he had taken. Dr.
I’ortcreh subsequently’ told the committee
that he and Herr Bebel had vainly tried
to show Ahlwardt that certain of his
charges were impossibl'*: that the disconto
gelleschaft could not have taken 35 per
cent for money assisted to construct the
Roumanian railways.
Despite the exposure Ahlwardt will ad-
dress a meeting of anti-semites tonight Si
the Germania rooms. Half fool and hall
knave, he still commands the faith of many
thousands of Germans. Dr. Miquel pro
poses to bring a criminal action against
him and the reichstag may revive a disused
law and exp« 4 him. But as long as he can
draw enthusiastic meetings that are at
tended by thousands of persons, Ahlwardt
must be counted as a living force among
the anti-semites. who are prepared to con
test forty-eight electoral districts in the
coining elections. The central . socialist
i committee now sits daily organizing the
I election campaign of the social democrats.
The Mav Dav festival will be celebrated
bv the socialists of Germany generally in
! the evening. Many working men will
obev the advice of their leaders and take
i no holiday. The police are taking no un
usual precautions beyond reinforcing the
official who will watch the fetes. Mav
; Dav has lost its force here. The anarch
ists and imb'pendent socialists insist upon
; a holiday, but tbo bulk of the workingin *n,
; printers and others, decline to lose the day,
Thov will celebrate eight hours on Sunday,
Mav 7th.
THAT PISTOL SHOT
In the Neighborhood of Gladstone’* Resi
dence < >1 used Great Excitement.
London, April 27.—The Pall Mall Ga
zette today contains a most, sensational
article, heaib'd "Rumors of an Attempt to
Shoot Gladstone,” the type used in The
headlines being the largest in use for that
purpose. Tim paper states that the al
leged attempt upon the prime minister’s
life was made while Mr. Gladstone was
walking through St. James's park at mid
night last night on bis way to bis home,
on Downing street. The accuracy of the
report of The Pall Mull Gazette is doubt
ful. It is probable that the story is based
upon the fact that a man who is now in
custody on the charge of firing a revolver
in a public thoroughfare had in one of his
pockets a notebook containing a number
of entries detailing the recent movements
of Mr. Gladstone. The prisoner will he ar
raigned shortly and his object in making
those entries will b.- learned if possible.
The article in The I’all Mall Gazette caused
much excitement among the friends ami
supporters of Mr. Gladstone, and many in
quiries front various parts of the country
have been ni.'tde as to the truthfulness of
1 the story.
It has been b-arncd that Mr. Gladstone,
who attended a dinner jiarty last night,
was walking home about lite time the man
who fired the revolver was arrested. He
saw nothing of the occurrence, and no one
now believes t lull any attempt was made
to shoot him.
