Move all others. A Redeemer Glorified is the Text of Bev. Dr. Talmage's Sermon. A;MAN CONSPICUOUS IN HISTORY, Full of Good Works and Approved as the Son of God and Savior. WORDS, THE BRIDGE BETWEEN SOULS riTECm. to TniDisriTcn.i Brooklyn, February 16. At the Taber nacle this morning, Bev. T. DeWitt Tal mage, D. D.. preached on "The Glorious Christ" His text was:. "He that cometh from above is above all." John, iii., 31. The great preacher said: The most conspicuous character "of history steps out upon the platform. The finger which, diamonded with light, pointed down to him from the Bethlehem sky, was only a ratification of the finger of prophecy, the finger of genealogy, the finger of chro nology, the finger of events all five fingers pointing in one direction. Christ is the overtopping figure of all time. He is the vox humana in all music, the gracefulest line in all sculpture, the most exquisite mingling of lights and shades in all paint ing the acme of all climaxes, the dome of all cathedraled grandeur and the peroration of all splendid language. The Greek alphabet is made up of 24 let ters, and when Christ compared himself to the first letter and the last letter, the alpha and the omega, he appropriated to Himself all the splendors that you can spell out either with those two letters and all the 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, "above all." "What does it mean? It means, alter you have piled up all Alpine and Himalayan altitudes, the glory of Christ would have to spread its wings and descend a thousand leagues to touch those summits. Felion, a high mountain of Thcssaly; Ossa, a high mountain, and Olympus, a high mountain; but mythology tells us when the giants - warred against the gods they piled up these three mountains, and from the top of them proposed to scale heavens; but the height was not great enough, and there was a com plete failure. THE BEST CAN LOOK TJP TO HIM. And after all the giants Isaiah and Paul, prophetic and apostolic giants; Raphael and Michael Angelo, artistic giants; cherubim and seraphim and archangel, celestial giants have iailed to climb to the top of Christ's glory tbey might all well unite in the words of the text and say: "He that cometh from above is above all." First, Christ ninst.be above all else in our preaching. There are so many books on nomiletics scattered through the country that all laymen, as well as all clergymen, have made up their minds what sermons ought to be. That sermon is most effectual which most pointedly puts forth Christ as the pardon of all sin and the correction of all evil individual, social, political, national. There is no reason why we should ring the endless changes on a few phrases. There are those who think that if an exhortation or a discourse have frequent mention of justi fication, sanctification, covenant of works and covenant of grace, that, therefore, it must be profoundly evangelical, while they are suspicious of a discourse which presents the same truth, bnt under different phrase ology. Now, I say there is nothing in all the opulent realm oi Anglo-Saxonism, of all the word treasures that we inherited from the Latin and the Greek and the Indo European, but we have a right to marshal it in religious discussion. Christ sets the ex ample. His illustrations were from the grass, the flowers, the spittle, the salve, the Barnyard iowj, tbe crystal or salt, a well as from the seas and the stars; and we do not propose in our Sabbath school teaching and in our pulpit address to be put on the limits. THE POWHJ OF "WORDS. I know that there is a great deal said in our day against words, as though they were nothing. Tbey may be misused but they have an imperial power. They are the bridce between soul and soul, between Al mighty God and the human race. What did God write upon the tables of stone? Words. What did Christ utter on Mount Olivet? Words. Ontofwhat did Christ strike the spark for the illumination of the universe? Out of words. "Let there be light," and light was. Of course, thought is the cargo and words are only the ship; but how last would your cargo get on with out the ship? What you need, my friends, in all your work, in your Sabbath school class, in your reformatory institutions, and what we all need is to enlarge our vocabu lary when we come to speak about God and Christ and heaven. We ride a few old words to death when there is such illimitable resource. Shakespeare employed 15.000 dif ferent words for dramatic purposes; Hilton employed 8,000 different words for poetic purposes; Butus Choate employed over 11.- 000 different words for legal purposes; but the most of us have less than 1,000 words that we can manage, less than 500, and that makes us so stupid. When we come to set forth the love of Christ we are eoing to take tenderest phras eology wherever we find it, and if it has never been used in that direction before, all the more shall we use it. When we come to speak of the glory ot Christ, the Conqueror, we are going to draw our similes from tri umphal arch and oratorio and everything grand and stupendous. AS IKFIXITY OF COMBIKATIONS. The French navy have 18 flags by which they give kignal, but those 18 flags they can put into 66,000 different combinations. And 1 have to tell you that these standards of the cross may be lilted into combinations infin ite and varieties everlasting. And let me say to these young men who come from the theological seminaries into our services every Sabbath, and are after a while going to preach Jesus Christ, yo will have the largest liberty and unlimited resource. You only have to present Christ in your own way. Jonathan Edwards preached Christ in the severest argument ever penned, and John Bunyan preached Christ in the snblimest allegory ever composed. Edward Fayson, sick and exhausted, leaned up against the side of the pulpit and weptouthis discourse, while George Whitefield, with the manner and the voice and the start of an actor, over whelmed his auditory. It would have been a different thing il Jonathan Edwards had tried to write and dream about the pilgrim's progress to the celestial city, or John Ban van had attempted an essay on the human will. Brighter than the light, fresher than the fountains, deeper than the seas, are all these gospel themes. Song has no melody, flowers have no sweetness, sunset sky has no color compared with these glorious themes. These harvests of grace sprinc ut quicker than we can sickle them. Kindling pulpits with their fire, tnd producing revolutions with their power, lighting up dying beds with their glory, they are the sweetest thought for the poet, and they are the most thrilling illustration for the orator, and they offer the most intense scene for the artist, and they are to the ambassador of the sky all enthusi asm. Complete pardon lor direst guilt. Sweetest comfort for ghastliest agony. Brightest hope for grimmest death. Grandest resurrection for darkest sepnlcher. THE GRANDEST GOSPEL. Oh, what a gospel to preachl Christ over all in it. His birth, His suffering, His miracles, Bis parables, His sweat. His tears, His blood, His atonement, His inter cessionwhat glorious themesl Do we exercise faith? Christ is its object. Do we have love? It fastens on Jesus. Have we a fondness for the church? It is because Christ died for it. Have Tie a hope of heaven? It is because Jesus went ahead, the herald and the forerunner. The royal robe of Demetrius was so costly, so beautiful, that after he had put it off no one ever dared to put it on; but this robe of Christ, richer than that, the poorest and the wannest and the worst may wear. "Where sin abounded grace ' may much more abound." "Oh, my sins, my sins," said Martin Xuther to Staupitz, "mv sins, my. sins!' The fact is, that the brawny German student had found a Latin Bible that made him quake, and nothing else ever did make him quake; and when he found how, throngh Christ, he was pardoned and saved, he wrote to a friend, saying: "Come over and join us great and awful sinners saved by the grace of God. You seem to be only a slender sinner, and you don t much extol the mercy of God; but we that have been such very awful sinners praise His grace the more now that we have been redeemed." Can it be that you are so desperately egotistical that you feel yourself in first rate spiritual trim, and that from the root of the hair to the tip of the toe vou are scarless and im maculate? What vou need is a looking glass, and here it is in the Bible. Foor, and wretched, and miserable, and blind, and naked, from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, full of wounds and putrefy ing sores. No health in us. And then take the fact that Christ gathered up all the notes against us and paid them, and then offered us the receipt. NEEDED IN ALL OUB 80BB01VS. And how much we need Hi m in our sor rows! We are independent of circum stances if we have His grace. Why, he made Paul sing in the dungeon and under that grace St. John from desolate Fatnios beard the blast of the apocalyptic trumpets. After all other candles have been snuffed out, this is the light that gets 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 eternal rock the Christian, from cups of granite, lily rimmed andvine covered, puts out the thirst of his soul. Again, I remark, that Christ is above all in dying alleviations. I have not any sympathywith the mor bidity abroad about our demise. The Em peror of Constantinople arranged that on the day of his coronation the stone mason should come and consult him about the tombstone that after awhile he would need. And there are men who are monomaniacal .on the subject of departure from this life by death, and the more they think of it the less they are prepared to go. This is an un- tnanliness not worthy of you, not worthy of me. Saladin, the greatest conqueror of his day, while dying, ordered that the tunic he had on him be carried after his death on his spear at the head of his army, and that then the soldier, ever and anon, should stop and say: "Behold, all that is left of Saladin, the Emperor and conqueror! Of all the states he conquered, of all the wealth he ac cumulated, nothing did he retain but this shroud." I have no sympathy with such behavior, or such absurd demonstration, or with much that we hear uttered in regard to departure from this life to the next. There is a commonsensical idea on this subject that you and I need to consider that there are only two styles of departure. ONLY TWO STYLES OF DEATH. A thousand feet underground, by light of torch toiling in aaniner's shaft, a ledge of rock may fall upon us, and we may die a miner's death. Far out at sea, falling from the slippery ratlines and broken on the hal yards, we may die a sailor's death. On mission of mercy in hospital, amid broken bones and reeking leprosies and raging fevers, we may die a philanthropist's death. On the field of battle, serving God and our country, slugs through the heart, the gun carriage may run over us, and we may die a patriot's death. But, after all, there are only two styles of departure the death of the righteous and the death of the wicked and we all want to die the former. God grant that when that hour comes yon may be at home. You want the' hand of your kindred in your band. You want your children to surround you. Yuu want the light on your pillow from eyes that have long reflected yourlove. You want the room still. You do not want any curious stran- cers standing around watcnine. vou.- ion want your kindred from afar to hear your last prayer. I think that is the wish of all of us. But is that all? .Can earthly friends hold us up when the billows of death come up to the girdle? Can hnman'voice charm open heaven's gate? Can human hand pilot us through the narrows of death into heav en's harbor? Can any earthly friendship shield us from the arrows of. death, and in the hour when Satan shall practice upon us his infernal archery? No, no, no, not Alas! Foor soul, if that is all. , A SUFFICIENT COMFORTER. Better die in the wilderness, far from tree shadow and from fountain, alone, vultures circling throngh the sir waiting for our body, unknown to men, and to have no burial, if only Christ could say through the solitudes: "I will never leave thee. I will never forsake thee." From that pillow of stone a ladder would soar heavenward, an gels coming and going; and across the soli tude and the barrenness would come the sweet notes of heavenly minstrelsy. Gordon Ha1, far from borne, dying in the door of a healfien temple, said: "Glorv to thee, O God V' What did dying Wilber force say to his wife? "Come and sit beside me, and let us talk of heaven. 1 never knew what happiness was until I found Christ." What did dying Hannah More say? "To go to heaven, think what that is I To go to Christ, who died that I might live ! Ob, glorious grave ! Oh, what a glorious thing it is to die! Oh, the love of Christ, the love of Christ 1" What did Mr. Toplady, the great hymnmaker, say in his last hour? "Who can measure the depths of the third heaven? Ob, the sunshine that fills my soul ! I shall soon be gone, for surely no one can live in this great world after snch glories as God has manifested to my soul." What did the dying Janeway say? "I can as easily die as close my eyes or turn my head in sleep. Before a few hours have passed I shall stand on MountZion with the one hundred and four thousand and with the just men made perfect, and we Bhall ascribe riches and honor and glory and 'majesty and dominion unto God and thevLamb." Dr. Taylor, condemned to burn at the stake, on his way thither broke away from the. guards men and went bounding and leaping and jumping toward the fire. A BAPTUBOUS VISION. Sir Charles Hare, in his last moment, had such rapturous vision that he cried: "Up ward, upward, upward!". And so great was the peace of one of Christ's disciples that he put his fingers upon, the pulse in his wrist and counted it and observed it; and so great was his placidity that after .a while he said: "Stopped!" and his life had ended here to begin in heaven. But grander than that was the testimony of the worn-ont first missionary, when, in the Mamartine dungeon, he cried: "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand; I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousnesj which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me in that day, and not to me only, but to all them that love his appearing!" Do you not see that Christ is above all in dying allevia tions? Toward the last hour ot our earthly resi dence we are speeding. When I see the sunset I say, "One day less to live."' When I see the spring blossoms scattered, X say, "Another season gone forever." When I close this Bible on Sabbath night, I say', "Another Sabbath departed." When I bury a friend, I say, "Another earthlv at traction gone forever." What nimble feet the years have! The roebucks and the lightnings run not so fast. Jom decade to decade, irom sky to sky, 'they go at a bound. There is a place for us, whether marked or not, where you and I will sleep the last sleep, and the men are now living who will, with solemn tread, carry us to oar resting place. Ay, it is known in heaver whether our departure will be a coronation or a ban ishment. ILLUMINATING THE SEPULCHEB. Brighter than a banqueting hall through which the light feet of the dancers go up and down to the sound of the .trumpeters will be the sepnlcher throngh whoso rifts THE the holy light of heaven streameth. God will watch you. He will send His angels to guard your slumbering ground, until, at Christ's behest, they shall roll away the stone. So, also, Christ is above all in heaven. The Bible distinctly says that Christ is the chief theme of the celestial ascription, all the thrones facing His throne, all the palms waved before His face, all the crowns down at His feet Cherubim to cherubim, sera phim to seraphim, redeemed spirit to re deemed spirit, shall recite the Saviour's earthly sacrifice. Stand on some, high hill of heaven, and in all the radiant sweep the most glorions ob ject will be Jesus. Mvriads gazing on the scars of His suffering, "in silence first, after- mu urcsKiug ioriu uw acciamatiuu. j.uj martyrs, all the purer for the flame through which they passed, will say: "This is Je sus, for whom we died." The apostles, all the happier for the shipwreck and the scourging through "which they went, will say: "This is the Jesus whom we preached at Corinth and at Cappa'docia and at Anti och and at Jerusalem." Little children clad in white will sajr: "This is the Jesus who took us in His arms and blessed us, and when the storms ot the world were too cold and loud, brought us into this beauti ful place." The multitudes of the bereft will say: "This is the Jesus who comforted us when onr heart broke." PABDON TO BE REMEMBERED. Many who wandered clear off from God and plunged into vagabondism, but were saved by grace, will say: "This is the Jesus who pardoned us. We were lost on the mountains, and He brought us home. We were guilty, and He has made us white as snow. Mercy boundless, grace unparal leled. And then, after each one has recited his pecnliar deliverances and peculiar mercies, recited them as by solo, all the voices will come together into a great chorus, which will make the arches echo and re-echo with the eternal reverberation of gladness aud peace and triumph. Edward I. was so anxious to go to the Holy Land that when he was abont to ex pire he bequeathed 5160,000 to have his heart, after his decease, taken to the Holy Land in Asia Minor, and his request was, complied with. But there are hundreds to-" day whose hearts are already in the Holy Land of heaven. Where your treasures are, there are your hearts also. Quaint John Bunyan, of whom I spoke at the open ing of the discourse, caught a glimpseof that place, and in his quaint way he said: "And I heard in my dream, and lo 1 the bells of the city rang again for joy; and as they opened the gates to let in the men I looked in after them, and lo ! the city shone like the sun, and there were streets of gol1, and men walked on them, harps in their hands, to sing praises withal; and after that they shut up the gates, which when I had seen I wished myself among them I" THE HAPPIEST COUPLE IN OHIO. Wooden Legs n a Means of Peace In (be Family. New York San. I had had a big chunk of lead from a Confederate cavalry carbine driven into my shoulder at Brandy station, and was in hospital at Washington for treatment, when an Ohio Infantryman was placed on the cot next on the left He had been shot in the leg about two months before, and after every effort had been made to save the limb he had been brought here to have it amputated. A surgeon came one day to notify him that the operation wonld be performed the next day, and Bill, as we called him, listened, and then replied: "Sav, Doc, I'm waiting for a letter from the old woman. I wrote to her that the leg would probably have to come off, and I want to hear what she bas to say." "But that can't make any difference." "Well, perhaps not, but I kind o' want her opinion. She's always been down on one-legged men, and I want to see whether she's going back on me or not." "Bnt she won't of" course." "You don't know about that Women is curious. When she begins to think of me clattering up and down with a wooden pin and realizing that I've got to go stumping around for life, she may feel a disgust Give me two or three days more iu which to get a letter." The surgeon consented, and in two days the letter came. Bill was very nervous and excited, and he asked me to read the epistle and give him the news. It wasn't from his wife, but from her sister, and she wrote: On the day that you wrote Mary that you leg would have to come off we started to drive over to Uncle Ben's. The horse ran away, smashed everything up, and Mary's left leg was so badly broken that it was amputated yesterday. She has the best of care and is doing well. She sends love, and advises you to have your leg off at once." "Whoop J" yelled Bill, in a voice which aroused the whole ward. "It's her left and my right Two wooden pins to go clattering up and down ! Two legs to hang up on the wall when we turn in at night !

There no doubt was inconsiderable realizing by parties who had bought at lower prices yes terday, and some of the prominent bear traders also fought against an advance, and the feeling was unsettled and uncertain. A Berlin dispatch was received reporting heavy frosts in Ger many and damage to the growing crop.and this induced some good buying, largely from shorts, which helped to force prices to the top notch, as did also the Weather Bureau report here, which reported cold weather in the Northwest. Corn A large volume of bnsmess was trans acted in this market, the pit ruling quite active all day.

Clearing House Figures Encouraging Lo cal Stocks, Buoyant A Good Out look All .Along the Line The Oil Market. The week in banking circles closed with a good supply of ready cash and a fair demand at67per cent. The bank clearings for the week show a gain of SL617.779 90 over the cor responding timelast year.

There was a buoyant feeling, however, and predictions were freely made that the upward movement which set in early in the week would suffer no back set until a considerably higher level shall be reached. Nearly everything was firm and in many cases higher. Both Philadelphia aud Chartiers Gas showed improvement. Pleasant Valley Railway and People's Pipeage continued their upward movement. Central Traction dropped a point; Pittsburg was barely steady, and Citi zens' neglected. Allegheny Heating Company was fractionally better. Switch and Signal went off a trifle, bnt Electric maintained Its old position, in the hope that something will soon turn up. Banc shares were dull and firm, and the same may be said of insurance stocks. While in vestors are hungry for these gilt-edged securi ties, thev hesitate to Day the prices demanded. Gentlemen should remember that reliable dividend-pavers always command top figures. Sales inoluded $2,000 Junction Railroad bond at 117K. 10 shares of Philadelphia Gas at 33, and 50 shares of Chartiers Gas at 3 Andrew Caster sold 150 shares of Pleasant Valley at 23 and 81,000 Pittsburg and West ern 4s at 80K. .

A Bad Bank Statement Taken the Shine Oat of Railroad Shares Truata Show Some Strength, With Sngar a Great Feature. New Yore; February 15. Tbo stock market was dull again to-day and weak almost from opening to closing, and, while sugar was the great feature of the day, material losses were sustained in the regular list on a comparatively light business. The bears were again active and aggressive, being induced to make an extra demonstration against the list by rumors ot a baa bank state ment, which were given color to by the asser tion of the Financial Chronicle that the banks had lost $3,000,000 during the week. That the calculation was correct was sho wn by the state ment showing a loss in the surplus reserve of something over $2,009,000. The character of the railroad news was rather mixed, and bad little effect one way or the other noon values. The Trusts were strong in the early dealings, continuing the advance of the past few days, but later they gave way with the rest of the market and Sugar Refineries, after an advance of 1 per cent to 69, retired to 67. and closed at 67. Railroad bonds were quiet, and followed the share list closely, maintaining a heavy to weak tone throughout, and the final changes are generally in the direction of lower figures. Wisconsin Central incomes were again the only features of the dealings, though several other Issues scored material losses. The sales reached $596,000, but no special animation was noted. The losses including: Kansas City and Omaha firsts, 3K. at S3, and Norfolk aud West ern general 6s, 2, at 117. The sales of rail road bonds for the week were $7,207,000, against $8,058,000 for last week. Tbe rollowinff table snows tne prices or active stocks on the Mew York Stock Excnange yester day.

The Wholesale Grocery Trade Improves Harness Leather In Better Demand Hides, Hardware and Hogs Also Reviewed. , Oitick of PrrrsBtmo Dispatch, 1 SatubdAT. February 15. 1890. J The greatest improvement in trade lines the past week is shown in the wholesale grocery department. Last week there was general complaint on the part of jobbers over the dullness of trade. Now the signs of a revival are seen everywhere. Said a representative of one of our leading wholesale grocery establishments this morning: "We bave had the best week's trade this week that we have had for three months past, so far as volume of business is concerned. Last Satur day tbe outlook was blue. Now It is all tbat could be desired, and, from all appearances, an active spring campaign is fully opened for onr trade." Harnesa Leather. The past week has also shown improvement in demand tor harness leather which for a month or more past has been very slow. There is no advance in prices, bnt demand bas very much improved since tbe beginning of the mouth, and stockrmoves out as fast as it is ready for market. A member of one of our leading harness leather manufacturing firms said to-day: "All through January our stock was accumulating and our sales were not above two-thirds the amount we sold the previous January. Now the accumulated stock has all disappeared and orders are on the books suffi cient to tare our output up to April. Hides. There is a fair demand for light weights at the recent reduction. Heavy steer hides are very slow and prices have declined c the past week. Calf skins are in good demand at the same rates as a week ago. Tallow has Joined in the downward movement, and is c lower per pound than last Saturday. Said a leading dealer in hides to-day: "The weakness of mar kets at this time is as much due to tbe quality of offerings as anything else. Fully 90 per cent ot -the hides on the market at this time of the year are No. 2 stock. The grub which is the hides' great pest is now full grown, and it is a very common thing to find the hide damaged to the extent of four or five holes in the most valuable part. Tbe seed of the grub is planted in June and the fruit is seen at this time in per forated hides. He will be a public benefactor who will devise some plan to kill the germ out of which grows tbe grab worm, which at this time damages nine-tenths of tbe hides on the market." Hardware. The Jobbing trade in this line is still quiet, but fully as active as at this time last year. The card rate for cut nails is a shade lower than it was a week ago. Wire nails are in fair demand at old rates. Barbed wire is in active demand with no change in prices. Said one of our heaviest Jobbers of hardware: "The out look for an active spring trade is brighter than it was a year ago at this time. Our volume of trade for the first half of February has been larger than for the corresponding period of 1889, and all signs point to a good year ahead." Shrinkage In Boss. The view of a Liberty stockman given in Fri day's Dispatch as to the great shrinkage of hogs this season, is controverted by one of our leading pork packers, who claims that tbe hogs offered this season are above the average in quality and condition. Said the packer "With a long knowledge of this trade I hare never known hogs coming to market in better condi tion than this winter. If there is more than the average shrinkage I have not discovered it. Corn was never plentier. and the hogs show it. You may put me down as in square opposition to the view of tbe 'stockman who claims that the shrinkage of hogs this season Is greater than the average. In my view it is less than the average." ABJIOUB & Co., of this city, report the following sales of dressed beef for the wees: ending February 15: 182 carcasses, average weight 5H4 pounds, average price $5 S2.
