The Chirography of the Recording Angel is So Plain that All Can Read The Blots Are the Work of Christ. In his latest Washington sermon Dr. Talmage comments upon the penman- | and their ship in the “Lamb's Book of Life’ urges hearers to see that names are inscribed on its pages text from which he preached was Luke 10: 2 are written in Heaven.” his “Rejoice because your names Chirography, or the art of handwrit- ing, like the science of acoustics, is in very unsatisfactory state While con- structing a church, and told by some architects that the voice would not be heard in a building shaped like that proposed, I came in much anxiety to this city and consulted with Prof. Jo seph Henry, of the Smithsonian stitution, about the law of acoustics, He said: ‘Go ahead and church in the shape proposed, and I think it will be all right, ied the laws of sound perhaps than any man of my time, and I come s0 far as this: may seem to the one the acoustics may be good in the other bad.” isfactory though many declare duced it to a science, 1 in build your I have stud- more have Two auditoriums be exactly alike, and in and In the same unsat- stage is chirography, al- who say they handwriting. way decides hi: the one and ke § lh way the height ons.

Subtracting from the three hours between 12 and 8 o'clock the time taken to travel from the court room to the place of execution and the time that must have been taken in getting ready for the tragedy, there could mot have been more than two hours left. Why did Christ live only two hours upon the cross, when others had lived 48 hours? Ah! He was worn out before He got there, and you wonder, O child of God, that, looking into the volumes of Heaven for your name, you find It was written with a trembling penmanship, trembling with every let. ter of your name, if it be your earthly name, or trembling with every letter of your Heavenly name, if that be differ Was Bn worn-out rens he The | upon the ent and more euphonious, That will not bo the first time you saw the mark ‘of a quivering pen, for you did not, O man, years ago see your name written on the back of a letter, und you opened it, saying: “Why, here is on letter from mother,” or “Jere is a letter from father," and after you opened it yon found all the words be. sause of old age were traced larly and uncertain, so that you could hardly read it at all.
