RV. DE. TALYAGE. TIE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN- DAY SERMON, Subject: “Preeminent” “He that cometh from above is John if., 31. TexT: above all.” The most cons icuous character of history steps out upon the platform. The finger which, dismonded with light, pointed down to Him from the Bethlehem sky was only a ratification of the finger of prophecy, the finger of genealogy, the fluger of chronology, the linger of events-na I five fingers pointing in one direction, Christ is the overtopping figure of all time. He is the vox humana in ail music, the gracelulest line in all sculp- ture, the most exquisite mingling of lights and shades in all painting, the acme of all climaxes, the dome of all cathedraled grands eur and the peroration all splendid lan. gunge, {he Greek alphabet is made up of twenty. four letters, and when Christ compared Himself to the first letter and the last letter, the alpha avd the omega, He appropriated to Himself all the splendors that you can spell out either with those two letters and ail letters between them “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last’ Or, if you prefer the words of the text, 7 It means, have | pine and Himalayan altitudes, the Christ would have descend a thousand summits, Pelion, a high mountain of saly: Ossa, a high mountain, and Ol a high mountain; bu when the r they piled {rom the heavens (7 L And after all r of “above al after you iled up all Al- glory of ta spread its w s and those hes. ympus, touch ea ues igh an ] Isaiah and P ants: Haphael and cherubim cometh fr ) Speak of Ve are triumphal grand and ave eights 110 SIXty-%i And standards combinat tions, ing.

Kindling pulpits their fire, and prolucing revolutions their power, lighting up dying beds with their glory, they are the swestest thought for the poet, and they are the most thrilling fllusteation for the orator, and they offer the most intense scenes for the artist, and they ars to the em bassador of the SRY aul en thusiasm, Complete pardon for direct gutlt Sweetest comfort for ghastiiest agony.

Do wa have love? [It fastens on Jesus, Have we a fondness for the church? It is because Christ died for it, Have we a hope of heaven! It is because Jesus went ahead, the herald and the fore ranner, The royal robs of Demetrin: was so cost ly, #0 beautiful, that after he had put it off no one ever dared put it on; but this robs of Christ, richer than that, the poorest and ths wanest and the worst may wear, “Where sin abounded grace may much more abound.” “Ob, my cine, my sine” mid Martin Luther to Btaupitz; “my sine, my sins.” I'he fact is that the brawny German student had found a Latin Bible that had made him quake, and nothing else aver did make him quake; and when he found how, through Christ, he was pardoned and saved he wrotn to a friend, Saying: “Come over and join us great and awful sianers saved by the grace of God.

What you need is a look: ing-glass, and here it is in the Bible, Poor and wretched and miserable and blind, and naked from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of wounds and putrafy- ing sores. No health in us, And then take the fact that Christ gathered up all the notes against us and pald them and then offered us the receipt, And how much we rows! We are indep: neadd Him in our sor- ndant of circumstances if we have His grace. Why, He made Paul sing in the dungeon, and under that grace St. John from desolate Patmos heard the blast of the apocalyptic trumpets, Af. ter all other candles have been snuffed out, this is the light that brighter and brighter unto the perfect day; and after, under the hard hoofs of calamity, all the pools of worldly enjoyment have been trampled into deep mire, at the foot of the sternal rock the Christian, from of granite, lily rimmed and vine covered, puts out the thirst of his soul Again, I remark that Christ is above all in dying alleviations.
