The three or four uuestions thnt would be aked me concerning this nomination ultimo nnd place I proceed to nuswer. What prac ti"sl use would come of suuh international HuliratlouV Answer The biggest stride tl.o world ever took toward thu evangelisa tion of ull Nation. That is 11 errand und wonderful oonvo'ntion, the religiou cou- trrossnt Chicago. It will put Intelligently be fore the world the nut 11 re of false religions which huve been brutalizing the Nations, trumping womuubood Into the dust, enn-t-lng the horror of Infanticide, kindling funeral pyre for ahrieklng vlutiuis, und rolling Juggernauts across tho mangled tod ifflottlielr worshipers. but no one suppose thnt anyone will bo converted to Christ by bearing Couf Jciaulsm or Buddhism or any form of heathenism uiogtr.ea. That In to In done afterwards. And how onn It so well bo done as by a oele bmtion of many week of the birth and char acter and achievements of the wondrou aud unprecedented Christ? To such an exposi tion the kings and queens of the earth would not send their representatives they would oai themselves. 1 lie story of a Saviour's advent could not keloid without telling the story of Hin mis ion. All the world say, "Why this ado, bu universal demonstration'" What a vivid prnwutation It would be, when at such a con oeution the physicians of the world should I'll what Christ ha dons for hosnltals and the assuagement of human pain, and when Christian lawyers declare what Christ has uouii ior tue establishment or good laws, and t bristlan conquerors should tell what Christ M done In the conquest of Nation, und Christum rulers of the earth would tell what Christ had done in tho Government ol eurthly dominions I Ihlrtydnvsof such celebration would do tore to tell tho world who Christ la than any thirty year. Not laud on earth but would hear of It nnd disnuss It. Not an eye dimmed by the superstition of age but own uee the illumination. The uirrerence I Christ' religion from all other I that It one way of dlsaemtnutlon I by a ilinple 'tilling." not argument, not skilful exeget ',t". poiemU or the science of theological iwcurrs, but "tolling." "Toll v the 'uughter of Zlon, Heboid, thy King oomuth." "Uo quickly and tell His disciple that He risen from thsdead." "Oo home to thy fluids and tell them how great thing the wJ hath don lor thee." "When He is ue, He will toll us all things." A religion "telling." And In what way could all Nations so well "Hold that Christ had coma as by such an international niphasudag of Ilia nativity? A" India would cry out about such an affair, or you know they have their railroads and tsWraph. "What Is golug on Id America'" U China would cry out, What Is that great ueltwnent In Amerioar Ail the islands of lb would coma down the gangplanks of arriving ships and ask, What U that "? art oelebraiing in America?" It would "the mightiest mUalounry tnovauiant the World ha ever seen. It would be the turn " point In the world's destiny. It would Hknu the sluaiberlAjf Motion with one "'ri hrlUtIow wH ro have snoh an International Jubtlo conduced? Aa . ,ho.uld n.rhaUM. and art " mo,'"uHT and lmprrswlve shape. Flret. arehlteetnre. While ail aeadmnle. of " 'n,1Ji',h"reh'.nd all great hall would tj needed, there should be one "rit auditorium erected to bold aneh an audi-nee a oaa never been seen on any sucted occa sion In America, If Rcrilmnlu Onrlo, at the noat of a king dom vnld build the first two vast amphi theatre, placing them back to bank, hold ing great audience for dramatla repmnta Hon. and then by wonderful machinery eoiild turn them round with all their audience In them, making the two auditorium one amphitheatre, to witness a gladltorlal content, and Vespasian oonld con struct ths Coliseum with It eighty columns, and ft triumph In thre order of Greek architecture, and a capacity to hold 7,000 people seated and 15.000 standing, and all for purpoan of cruelty and sin, cannot our glorious Christianity rear In honor of our glorious Christ a structure large enough to hol.l 50.000 of It worshipers? If we go groping now among the ruined nmphlt hunters of Verona and Pompeii and Capua and Purruoll and Tarro-o, and thn stand transfixed with amaccment at their im mense sweep that held from 50,000 to 100.000 spectator gathered for cnronsnl and moral degradation, could not Christianity afford one architectural n-hlevement that would hold aud enthrall Its 00.000 Christian disci ple? Do you s-iy no human voice could be heard throughout such a building? Ah! th-n you were not pr.wcnt when at the IJos ton pence Jubll..e I'urepa etwilywithhervo.ee enchanteil AO.OOil auditors. And the time I near at hand when In theo logical seniln iriMs, where our young men are being trained for the ministry, the voice will be developed, and Instead of the mumbling ministers, who speak with o low a tone you cannot hear uiife you lean forwnrd and hold your hnn I liohind your ear. nnd then are able to gnes the general ln(t of thsut jet and decide iiilte well whether It Is about Mosc or Paul or o:n on els -Instead of that you will have coming from the theologi cal seminaries all over the land young min isters with vol-e enough to command th at tention of nn audience of f.O.OOJ people. That Is the reason that the I.or l gives us two lungs Instead of one. It is he I'lvui" way of saying physiologically, "tie heard!" That is the ronton that t!i New Test irnent In begliinlng the account of Christ sermon 011 tli mount describes our I.ord'a plain nrticulatlon and resound of utter in 'e by say-III'.-. "!le opemsl his mouth." In that mighty concert hall n:id preaching place which I suggest for this nln-t"rn hundredth untilversary let mtmic crown our I.orl. Itrlng nil the orchestra. aU the oratorm, all the Philharmonic und II in 1"1 and Havdii e - ClltliS.

What an arousing wh"ii fiO.uO) Join in "Antio'h" or (.'. ironatiou'' or riei.'. rising into hallelalah or subsid ing Into un almost supernatural amen! Yea. let aciilptura Maud on pedestal nil around that building-the form of npimtlc and martyrs, men and women, who spoke or wrought or suffered by hen Ismnn'saxor rlro. Where I my favorite of all art, this art of sculpture, that It I not busier lor Christ or that Its work 1 not bettir appreciated? Let It come forth at that world Jubileo of the natlvi'.y. We want a aecoud Phidias to do for that new temple what the flrat I'hldla did for the Parthenon. Let th mnrbU of Carrara coma to retirrctiou tv eeb.'biete our Lord's resurrection. Let amilptor i-t up in that auditorium of Christ's celebration bas-relief and Intaglio descriptive of the bat tle won for our holy religion. Where are the Cunovoa of the Nineteenth Century? Whew are the American Thorwal.ls'iu and Chnntreys? Hidden somewhere, I warrant you. Let sculpture turn that placs Into am ther Acropolis, but more glorious by as much as our Christ is stronger than their Hercules, mid has more to do with the sea than their Neptune, and raise greater harvests than their Ceres, and raises more music in tuu heart of the world than thir Apollo, "fac, gods of the heathen are nothing but dumb Idols, but our Lord ma le the heavens.'' In marble pure us suow celebrate Him wiio cuino to niiiko us "whiter than suow." Let the chisel ns well as p m 'II an 1 peu bn put down at the feet of Jesus. Yea, let painting do its best. The foreign galleries will loan for such a jubilee thoir Madonnas, their Augelos, their lluheiis, their ilnphaels, their "Clirmt at the Jor.lau." or "Christ at the I,axt Kupper,"or "Ciirist Cum ing to Judgment." or "Christ on the Throne of CnlversaJ Dominion," and our own Moruns will put their pcjicll Into the nineteen hun dredth uuniversary, und our Jlinrstadts from sketching "The Iiomes of the Yo unite" will come to present the domes of the world con quered for Immunucl, Added to all this 1 would have a floral decoration on a scale never equaled. The llcl is and open gardens could not furnish It, for It will le winter, nu 1 thnt season appro priately chosen, for It was Into the Irostsaud desolations of winter that Christ Immigrated when he came to our world. Hut while the fields will be tiaw, the conservutorius and hot-house within 'J00 miles would gladly keep the sacred coliseum radiant und uro uiatb) during uli the convocations. Added to all let there bo baiioueti, not like the druuken bout at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, celebrating the centennial of Washington's inauguration, where tho river of wine drowned the so briety of so many senators and governor und generals, but a banquet for the poor, tho feeding of scores of thousands or people or a world in which the majority of the Inhabi tants have never yet had enough to eat, not a banquet at which a few lavorou men ant women of social or political fortune shall sit, but such u banquet as Christ ordered when He told Hi servants to "go out into the highways and hedge aud compel them to couie In." Let the mayor of cities und tho governors ol Ktuti-s und the President of the Vnlto I HMtes) proclaim a whole week of legal holiday at leas: fruiu Christmas day to New Year's day. Added to thi b't there lie nt that Interna tional moral and religious exposition ti mammoth distribution of sa-rad literature. Let the lending ministers from Kuglund, (Scotland, Ireland. France, Ocrinuny and the world take the pulpits of all these cities and tell what they know of Mm wliosi birth we celebrate. At those convocation lot vost sums of mouey bo riasud for churches, for usyluins, for schools, lor colleges, all of which institutions were born in the heart of Christ. Ou thut day uud In that s-ason when Christ gave Himself to tho world let the world give itself to Him. Why do I propose America as the country for this oonvocutlou? Uei-uuso most other lands huve a Htate religion, and while all forms of religion may be tolerated in many lands America I tho only eouutryon earth where all evangelical denominations stand on an even footlug, and ail would have equal hearing In aucb an international exposition. Why do I eloct this cluster of eacoast cit ies? Auswer By that time lieoemlier y.5. HMO these four oltte of New York, Brook lyn, Jersey City aud Hobokeu, by bridge and tunnels, will be practically one and with an aggregate population of ebont 8,000,001). Consequently uo other part ol America will have such an immensity of population. Why do I now mk this nomination of time and plrwe? Answer lus suah a stupendous raovemeut oaunot lx xtempor laed. It will take seven years to got ready for such an overt jwerinu celeurutlon, and ths work ought to begin speedily In ohurahes, In colleges, in legislatures, in oongresst. In parliaments, lu ail styles ol National assem blades, and wa have no tltno to loss. It would take three year to make a proirramrna worthy of uch a coming together. Wh do I tnk It upon myself to mnkaaucn a nomination ot time and rlaoe? Answer ReosuMt It ao happened that In th mysteri ous providence of Ood, bom in farmhou and of no royal or prlneply deaesmt, the door of communication are open to me every weelc by tho secular and religious printing presses and bava been open to ma every week for many yean, with all the cities and towns and neighborhood of Christendom, and Indeed In land outside of Christendom, whetss printing prease have ben established, and I feel that If tbera I anything worthy In thi proposition It will lie heeded and adopted. On tha other hand. If It be too sanguine, or too hopeful, or too Impractical, I am sure It will do no harm that I have expressed my wish lor such an International Jubilee, cole brative of the birth of our Immanuel. My friend, such a birthday celebration at tha close of one century nnd re tching lulo a new century would lei something In which, heaven and earth could Join. It would not only be International, but lnterplnnetarVi Interstellar, intereonstellatlon. If yon re member what occurred on the first Christ mas night, you know that It was not a Joy eonflnd to our world. Tha choir abovs Itdhlehem was Imported from another world, and when the star left It umiM sphere to d-slgnate tho birthplace all astronomy felt the thrill. If there beany thing true about our religion. It Isthnt other world are sympathetic with this world nnd In communication With It. The glorified of heaven would Join in il"H a celebration. The generation that toiled it hnve tho world for Christ would take part In "UiU jubilation anil prolonged assemblage. The upper galleries of God' universe would applaud the scone, whether we heard the clap of their wings nud tha shout of thlr voices or did not hear them. Prophet who preilletel the Messiah, and npo-tlee who taUeil with Him. nn I martyrs who died lr Him would take part In the scene, though to nur poor eyealght they Might tie invisible. The obi missionaries who died In the malarial swamps of A'rien. or were struck down by Egyptian typhus, or were butchered nt Luck Cow. ir were slain by Hornesisii cannibal would come down from their thrones to re joice that nt lest Chru-t had Imfl heard o'. nn l speedily in nil nations. At the t'.rst roll of the first overture of the llrst day of that mi"T)ilug all heaven would cry: "Hear! Hear !" Aye! Ayi! I thin', myself such n vast pro cedure ns'that might hasten our Lor I com ing, nnd thnt the exnc tat ion of many mil lions of Chriitlnns who ledleva In the second n Ivetit might be reall.e I then at thnt con junction of the Nineteenth nn I Twentieth Centuries. 1 do not say it would lw. yet win knows but that our blessed nnd adored Mus ter, pleased w.th su vi a plan of worldwld 1 o!ef, alien, might s i1- concerning this wan dering nnd rebellious planet, "l'hat world lit last s'kows a deposition to ai predate wiiat ( have done or it. nn I with one wave of mv s -.trred hand 1 will bless in I rvjil.nunl sive It." That ici acile',r'.tloii of our Lord'sblrth, kept up lor dux s an 1 months, would ple.aso all the goo I of earth 11:1 I mightily speed ou lhgoic chariot 1111 1 please all tli heavens. ilntly, cheru dc, ir.ii'ilc. iirehungollc nud divine, Is lieyou I queetlotl. get ready for the world's greatest festivity! Tune your voice for the world's greatest unt hum. Lift the arches lor the world's mightiest profes sion. L-t the advancing standarl of tha I army o? years, which tins Ins rilei I on one side ol It "l'.siu and on I tie oilier side "rjoi. hax-e also inscribed ou It the most charming name of ull the universe tho name of Jesus. Whether this suggestion of a world's cele bration of the imtivlty let taken or not, It has allowed me an opportunity In a some what unusual way of expressing my lovo lor the great central character ot all time and nil etoralty. H i Is the Infinite nonesuch. The urtnlo Of heaven drop ou their knee before him. After Ilourdaloue, lefore over whelmed audiences, has preaaiind Him, and Milton In immortal blauk vers has sung Ifim, and Michael Angelo ha glorified tbv celling of the Vatican with lib second com ing, on I martyrs while girdled and cano pied with tha flams ot the stake have with burning lip kissed his mem ory, and in the "hundred and forty nnd four thousand" of heaven with feis; on seas of gloss I liters hot with sunrise, have with up lifted and downswung baton, und sounding cornets, nn 1 waving br.nners, end heaven capturing doxologhw celebrated Him, the story of ilia loveliness, and His might and Hi beu.ity, nud HI grandeur, and His grace, nnd Ills intercession, and His sacrifice, aud of Hi birth, nnd Hi death will remain untold, lie Ills name on our lip while we live, nnd when we dleuftor we have spoken farewell to father und mother nnd wife, nnd child let us speak that name which Is the lullaby ot earth nnd the transport of heaven. JMore the cr.iestng of time nn the mid night between December 31. I'JOO, and tho 1st of January, 1'JOI, many of us will be gone. Home of you will hear the clock strike twelve of one century and an hour after it hear It strike one of another century, but many of you will not that midnight hear either the stroke of old the city clock or of the old tlmcpluce In the hnllwuy of the home stead. Heveu years cut a wide swath through the cluir, lii-s nud communities and Nations, Kilt those who cross from world to world before old Tlin't in this world crossus that midnight from century to century will talk among the throues of the coming earthly jubilee, and on the river bank and In the house of many mansions, until all heaven will know of the coining of that celebration, that will till theearthly Nations with joy and help augment the Nation of heaven. Hut whether here or there we will take part In the music und the banqueting if we have made tha Lord our portion. Oh, how I would like to stand at my front door some morning or noon or night and see the sky part and tho hlessod Lord descend In person, not as he will come lu the last judg ment, with lire and hall and earthquake, but In sweet teuderness to pardon ail sin, and heal all wounds, and wipe away ull tears, and fend nil hunger, and right all wrongs, nnd Illumine nil dark Unas, und break all boudngu, uud harmonize ull discords. Homo thin he will thus come, but about that ooming I make no prophecy, for I urn not enough learned in the rfcrlpturea, n soma of my friends are, to announce a very positive opinion. HuMhLs I do know, that It would be well for us to have an international aud an luter world celebration of the nuulverssry of Hi birthday about the time of the birth of the new century, nnd that It will be wise beyond all others' wisdom for us to take Him as our present and everlasting coadjutor, and it that Darling of earth and heaven will only accept you and me after all our lifetime of unworthluex and sin wecau never pay Him what we owe, though through all the eternity to come we had every hour a now song mi l every moment a uuit ascription ot bomago and praise, for you sue wa were fur out among the lost sheep that the gospel byma 10 put Helically describes 1 Out la ths dassrt he Uesrd lu err, hick 011 1 i,,'lil unt res ly In ill 1, but mil t irouii 1 the mnunuln (binder rlvcu, Au I up from ths rts-vy atm-p, 1 herd rises cry to fti ksU of heaven, "1U-J ile, 1 hvs round my shwip:" And tiio aifli echo round ihu lurone, "Itujulce, tor Uis Lord bring bock IIU own!"

Who can dellne it It is a I liin iitulilf truth thut of two men given the sam amount of liquor, one will hardly b-e the effect, while the other becomes s i drunk that he will beat his wife and children. How often we bear the expression -"lih ! I know when I have enough! I cuu drink or i-t it alone, as I please," and then, poor man, ho takes another drink adds more poison to nu al reudy poisoned system, nnd turns with pity from nis more iinfortnuute neighbor, whe drinks uo more nor otlcnir tlmu tic, but from the effects of this same quantity he become n disorderly, disgraccliil drunkard. Ths quantity then, ''in moderation," cannot l, Uellned. I moderation understood to be the drink ing of mild liquors beer, light wines, etc. This may be the understand!!!:-,' some men have of moderate drinking, but do not these milder drinks contain alcohol Certainly they do, and their uee lends to strong ilrifi K Thu mild drinks create the appetite lor ulco. I10I. The druukard begin on beer uud ter minates his carver with brandy, and the re sult can ba trac.M to its sourcewhich is the small percentage of alcohol In the mil b'r drluks. The duuger In drinking beer or light xviue la that by their use the Imldc is formed, the Insatiable craving for ulcoholl i drluks follows. It Is this craving that tins made men beasts ; that has made man loiei every spark of man hood 1 thnt has tpa le him commit every crime in the catalogue, tiiat bus mude him the epileptic, tho paralytic, the lunatic, the iuilcldel Did I say bus made him' Aye! And is making him to-day nil these things ! lu this bright city to-day men are sacrillelng home, health, wile uud children, friends, character, everything, to sutisly this craving for liquor. You, moderate drinker, think on these things ! Moreover, did you ever r's'lect ou the impurity of these mild drinks' No, of course, you have not. Well, of the thou sands of gallons and barntla sold,, not one gallon la pure. Of the thousands sold not one 1 free from drugs und poisons, sold thut men muy grow rich ut the expense ot tho Uvea ut their fellow-men. Moderate drinker, you must stand whero you belong I No healthy body needs stimu lants ot any kind, mild or strong. You, there fore ar Indulging a bad habit which will suroly load to bad results. You belong to tha drinking fratemlty, aud you roust do on of two things redact and join the total ub stalnars, or refusing this you may become a drunkard. It la said that fifteen per cent, of the mod rate drinker die drunkards. Hball you be one of this fifteen per cent.? The facta ex plain that all drunkards were only moderate drinkers onoa and that all drunkannesseomes from moderate drinking I If one is tha high way to ruin the other Is the brood, inviting gateway leading to It, Western Cross.
