REY. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN. DAY SERMON, Subject: “Useful Suffering.” Texr: “It beloved Luke xxiv,, 46 There have bean scholars who have ven. tured the assertion that the pains of our Jord were unnecessary, Indeed it was a shocking waste of tears and blood and ag- ony, unless some great enl ware to be reached, If men can prove that no gool re sult comes of it, then the character of Gol is impeached, and the universe must stant abhorent and denunciatory at the fact that the Father allowed the butchery of His only begotten Son, ; : Ve all admire the Lrave six hundred men described by dashing into the conflict when they knew they must die, and knew at the same time that “some one had blunder’d;” but we are abhorrent of the man who made the blunder and who causel the sacrifice of those brave men for no use. But I shall show you, if the Lord will help me, this morning that for good reasons Christ went through the torture, In other words, “It behooved Christ to suffer.” In the first place, 1 r lacerations were nec rescue was an impossibility except by the payment of some great sserfiee.

The only ostentation He ever dis biayed was to sit with pablicans and sinners and wash the discloses’ fom The only selilshnesw He ever exhibited was to give His lifes for His ensmies, And yet all the wrath of the word sured against His hoiy heart, Hear the redbot scorn of the world hissing in the pools of a Eaviour's blood!

Why, sirs, the behavior of our Lord has stirred tbe affections of all those who have ever heard of it. It has been the art galleries of the world with such pletures as tihirlandaio's ‘'Worsiip of the Magi,” Giot to's ‘Baptism of Christ,” Holman Hunt's “Christ in the Temple,” Tintored's “Agony in the Garden,” Angelo's ‘Crucifixion,’ and it has called out Handel's Messiah," and rung sweetest chimes in Young's ‘Night Thoughts.” and filled the psalmody of the world with the penitential notes of sorrow | and the hosanuas of Christian triumph, Show has so most potent in France in Ire'and?

Possibly the Listener has once be. fore toid the story of a friend of his whose occupation is more or less literary, who can remember but one single piece of poetry, and that was a piece of dog. gerel that his seat mate in hool once learned! All the divine verse that he himself bas often labored to commit is gone forever; but this piece of doggerel which the other Loy labored to learn, but probably totally forgot iu a month or a year, sticks fast in hix mind, Every. body's memory bas a teadency to hold fast to mischief and nonsense, and let serious aud important things go.
