# THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, YA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 189K, REDEEMED SOULS They Leave This Weary World and Soar Heavenward. In the World to Come Those Who Ilave Been Faithful Will Surely Find a Place of Comfort; a Haven of Rest. From an ancient scene cf sacrifice Rev. Dr. Talmage, in the following sermon, tells the story of Jesus. The text is Leviticus 14: 5-7: “And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel, over run- ning water. As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedarwood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; and he shall sprin- kle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy mes, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.” The Old Testament, to v people, is a great slaughter strewn with the blood, the 1 and horns, and hoofs of butchered animals It offends their sight; it disgusts their taste; it actually the ach. But to the t Christian the Old corridor vances seven ti ery many Ones, nauseates stom- intellig Testament through As He end of the corridor « outlines of His nearer, en is 8 magnificent which Jesus ad- the « see th anpears at a would g nto the heavens. your ¢ sisters, ves ide, open w and meant means vi nothing more In the down o the gl a vie Sparkie « that that Jesus, and that the and see | 1 Ur own soul.

I notice uy text, that the bird that was slain was a clean bird The text demanded that it should be. The raven was never sacrificed, nor the cormorant, nor the vulture. It must be a clean bird, says the text: and it suggests the pure Jesus—the holy Jesus. Although he spent his boyhood in the worst village on earth, although blasphemies were poured into his ear enough to have poisoned anyone else, He stands before the world a perfect Christ. Herod was cruel, Henry VIII was unclean, but point out a fault of our King. Answer me, ye boys who knew him on the streets of Nazareth. Answer me, ye miscreants who saw him die. The skeptical tailors have tried for 1,800 years to find out one hols in this seamless garment, but they have not found it. The most ingenious and eloquent infidel of this day, in the last line of his book, sll of which de nounces Christ, says: “All ages must proclaim that among the sons of men there is none greater than Jesus” So let this bird oL Yin text be Slanirita feet t th the dew it tr Daw ot thyme and frankincense, its fea washed In summer showers.

When the eagle is assaulted, with its iron beak its strikes like a bolt against its adver- sary. This was a dove or a sparrow, we do not know just which. Take the dove or pigeon in your hand, ana the peck- ing of its beak on rour hand makes you laugh at the feebleness of its assault. The reindeer, after it is down, may fell you with its antlers. The ox, after you think it is dead, may break your leg in its death struggle. The harpooned whale, in its last agony, may crush you in the coil of the unwinding rope. jut this was a Or 0 Sparrow, perfectly harmless, perfectly defense- Jess—type of him who said, “I have trod the wine- alone and there was none to help.” None to help! The murderers have it all their own way. Where was the soldier in the Roman regiment who swung his sword in the defense of the Divine Martyr? Did they put one drop of oil on his gashed feet? Was therg one in all that crowd manly and generous enough to stand up for Him?

You ia two th from mountain cloud from mountain earer and together, and responding to each erash to thunder to boom! boom! And then the clouds break and the torrents pour, emptied perhaps into the very same stream that comes down so red at your feet that it seems as if all the carnage of the storm battle has been emptied into it. Soin this Bible I see two storms gather, Sinai, the other above Calvary, and they respond one to the other-flash to flash, thunder to thunder, boom! boom! Sinai thunders, “The soul that sinneth it shall die” Calvary responds, "Save them from going down to the pit, for I have found a ransom.” Sinal says, “Woe! woe!” Calvary answers, “Mercy! merey!” and then the clouds burst, and empty their treasures into one torrent, and it comes flowing to our feet, red with the carnage of our Lord, in which, if thy soul be plunged, like the bird in the text, shall go forth free—free! Oh, I wish all people to un- derstand this: That when a man be comes a Christian he does not become as slave, but that he becomes a free man; that he has larger liberty after he becomes a child of God than before he became a child of God. Gen. Fisk sald that he once stood at a slave block where an old Christian minister was being sold. The auctioneer sald of him: “What bid do 1 hear for this man? He is a very good kind of a man; he is a minister.” Somebody sald ‘“twentydollars” (he wis very old and not worth much); somebody else “twenty-five "—"thirty"«‘'thirty- more afraid of Sinal don fri ust « meet nai nave, on some Aug V.

He had ex- pected to be able to buy his own free dom, and he had just seventy dollars, and expected with the seventy dollars togo free. As the bids ran up the old man trembled more and more. “Forty"—'" forty-five "fifty" —* ‘fifty. five” ~" sixty "—*gixty-five.” The old man cried out ‘seventy.” Ile was afraid they would outbid him. The men around were transfixed. Nobody dared bid, and the auctioneer struck him down to himself-—done-—done! Why, is not a man free when he gets rid of his sins? The sins of the tongue gone; the sins of action gone; of the mind gone. All the transgres- sions of 80, 40; 50, 70 years gone-—no more in the soul than the malaria that floated in the atmosphere a thousand ago: for when Lord Jesus | pardons a man he pardons him, and there is no half-way work about it of St. Gall, nine-tenths of handled by the trade anufac Su 18808 are Im time these for new store, the sins SWisses, but reserved them the opening of They with beautiful aud ribbons that our are of the snowiest texture designs of se and those pret are so popular pretty dress, eith er shades of taffeta, it | Here 1 see a beggar going along the | ve ricl the graduat turnpike road.
