MEY, IR, TALMAGES SERMON I'he Brooklyn Divine's Sunday Sermon. Sndject ; “Among the Holy Hil a." Text: * He came to Nazareth, where Hi was brought up.” —Luke iv,, 16, What a splendid sleep I had last night in a Uatholic convent, my first sleep within doors since leaving Jerusalem, and all of us as kindly treated as though we had beer the Pope aud his college of Cardinals ing that way! terhood of the convent ordered a hundred brigbt-eyed Arab children brought out te sing for me, and it was glorious! This morning I come out on the steps of the cons vent and look upon the most besutifal vil plow boy's furrow and village counter and blacksinith’'s forge come most of our ¢ity giants. Nearly all the Mes siabhs in all departments dweit in Naz areth beforas they came to Jerusalem. I send this day: thanks from theses cities, most ly made prosperous by country boys, to the farmhouse and the prairies and the moun. tain cabins, and the obscure homesteads of north and south and east and weat, to the fathers and mothers in plain homespun if they | be still alive or the hillocks under which they | sleep the long sleep. Thanks from Jerusa- lem to Nazareth. But alas! that the city should so often treat the country boys as of old the one from Nazareth was treated at Jerusalem! Blain ‘not by hammers and spikes, but by instru. ments just as crusl. On every street of every city the crucifixion goes on. Ever ear shows its ten thousand of the slain, Ob, how we grind them up!

Grand old village is Nazareth even puttin aside its sacred First of all, is clean; and that can be said of few of the eriental v es, Its neighboring town of Nablouf is the filthiest town I ever saw, although its chief industry i¢ the manufac- ture of soap. They export all of it. Nama- reth has been the scene of Dattjes passing it from Israslite to Moham and from Mohammedan to Christian, the most wonderful of the battles be ing that in which twenty-five thou- sand Turks were beaten by twenty-one bundred French, Napoleon Fo Onaparte commanding, the greatest of men walkin ne very streets through which Jesus walked for nearly thirty years, the morals of the t the anti tha snows of Russia and of 4 appropriately following the one, the dosh gies of earth and the rie ha of heaven appropriately following the other, And then this town is so beautifully situated in a great green bowl, the sides of the bowl surround- ing fifteen hills. The God of nature who is the God of the Bible evidently Sood ou this valley forjprivacy and separation a the world during three most important de< cades, the thirty years of Christ's boyhood and youth, for of the thirty-thres years of Christ's stay on earth he spent thirty of them in this town in getting ready —a start- ling rebuke to those who have no patience with the long years of preparation necessary when they enter on any special misdon for the church or the world, e trouble is with most young men that they want to launch thei ship from the drydock before it fsready, and hence so many siuk in the first cyclone. All Christ's boy was spent in this vil lage and its surroundings. here isthe very weil called “The Fountain of the Virgin,” to which by His mother's side He trotted along holding her hand. No doubt about it: it is the only well in the village, and it has been the only well for three thousand years. This morning we visit it, and the mothers have their children with them now as then. The work of drawing water in all ages in those countries has been wo men's work. Scores of them are waiting for their turn at it, three great and everlasting springs rolling out into that well their barrels, their hogsheads of water in floods, gloriously abundant. The well is sur- rounded by olive groves and wide spaces in which people talked and children, wearing charms on their heads as protection against the “evil eye,” are playing, and women with their stings of coin on either side of their face, and ian skirts of blues and scar. let and white and green move on with water jars on their heads Mary, 1 suppose, amost always took J the boy with her, for she had no one she could leave Him with, being in humble cir- cumstances and haviag no attendants. I do not believe there was one of the surrounding fifteen hills that the boy Christ did not range from bottom to top, or one cavern in their sides He did not explore, or one of bird flying across the tops that He could not call by name, or one of all the species of fauna browsing on thoss steeps that He had not recognized. You see it all through His sermons. If a man becomes a public speaker, in his ora- tions or discourses you discover his early whereabouts. What a boy sees between seven sud saventeen always sticks to him. When the apostles Peter preaches you sees the fishing nets with which be had from his eariest days been familiar. And when Amos delivers his Zrophecy you hear in it the bleating of the herds waich he had in boy. hood attended, And in our Lord's sermons and conversations you see all the phases of village life and the mountainous life sur rounding it, He bad in boyhood seen the shepherds get their flocks mixed up, and to one not familiar Seid: tis habits of erds and their flocks, oplesaly mixed up.

Plenty of such brave boys coming up from Naga- reth! Let Jerusalem bs careful how it treats them! A gentleman lon ago on- tered a school in Germany and F owed very low before the boys, and the teacher id, “Why do you do that? *“Oh" said , the visitor, “I do not know what mighty man may yet be developed among them.” At that instant the eyes of one of the boys lashed fire. Who was it? Martin Luther. 'A lad on his way to school passed a door- step on which sat a lame and invalid child. I'he passing boy sald to him: “Why don't you go to school!” “Oh, I am lame and I can't walk to school.” ‘Get on my back” said the well boy, “and I will carry you to school.” And so he did that day and for many days until the invalid was fairly _ started on the road to an education. Who was the well boy that did that kindness? I don't know, Who was the invalid he car- ried? It was Robert Hall, the rapt pupil orator of all Christendom. Better give to the boys who come up from Nazareth to Je- rusalem a crown instead of a cross. On this Decomber morning in Palestine on our way out from Nazareth we saw just such a carpenter's shop as Jesus workad in, supporting His widowed mother after Hs was old enough to do #0. 1 looked in, and thers were hammer and saw and plane and auger and vise and measuring rule and chisel and drill and adze and wrench and | bit and all the tools of .

But wé must hasten on, for I do not mean to close my eyes to-night till I see from a mountain top Lake Galilee, on whose banks next Sabbath we will worship, snd on whose waters the following morning we will take a sail. On and up we go in the severest climb of all Palestine, the ascent of the Mount of Beatitudes, on the top of which Christ preached that famous sermon on the blesseds ~blessed this and blessed that. Up to their knees the horses plunge in molehills and a surface that gives way at the first touch of the hoof, and again and again the tired beasts halt, as much as to say to the riders, “It is anjust for you to make us climb these an On and up over mountain sides, where in the later season hyacinths and dasies and phloxes and anemones kindle their beauty, and ap until on the rocks of black basalt we dis mount, and climbing to the highest look ut on an enchantment of scenery t seems bs the beatitudes themselves arched into skies and rounded into valleys and silvered mto waves.

To those who heard Him on this very spot His word must have seemod the contradiction of everyt that they sad ever heard or read or ex ced.

We may pass rapidly from one task to another, we may construct ma- chinery by whieh much of eur work can be done simultaneously, and thus multiply our executive power; but to live two minutes at once, is something no can do, any more than we can recall one act or one moment of the past.
