Christ Has Prepared a Banquet and Is Waiting for the Guests. THE LESS05 HE DREW" FEOJI HIS TEXT ItrSCIlt. TElKOaAM TO THr DISrATOS.1 Beookltk, N". Y., May 10. The main cuditoriuni of the Tabernacle and the ad joining rooms were crowded by an audience of 7,000 persons. The subject of Dr. Tai lnnge's sermon was "Invitation to a "Wed dine," and the text Lute 1117; Come; for all thincs are now ready." It was an excltlnc time Id English history when Quern Elizabeth Yltlted Lord Leicester at Kenllworth Castle. The clocks In all the towers and throughout the cattle were stopped at the moment of her arrival, so continuing to point to that moment a the one surpassing all others in interest. The doors of the great banquetine hall were opened. The Queen marched in to the sound of the trumpota. Four hundred servants waited upon the guests. It was a scene that astonished all nations when tbey heard of it. Fire tbonsand dollars a day did ttas banquet cost as it went on day after day. She was greeted to the palace gates with floating islands, and torches and the thunders ot cannon, and fireworks that set the night ablaze, and a burst of music that lifted the whole scene Into enchancement. .Beglnuirg iu that way, it went on from joy to joy, and from excitement to excitement, and from rapture to ranture. That was the reat banquet that Lord Leicester spread in L.enilwortb Castle. The Banquet of the Lord. But to-day, my brothers and sisters, I Invite you to a grander entertainment. My Lora, the King, Is the banqueter. Angels of God are the cupbearers, all the redeemed are the- guests: the halls of eternal lore frescoed with light,and paved with joy. and curtained with unfading beauty, are the banqueting places, the har monies of eternitv are the music, the chalices of God are the plate, and I am one of the ser vants come out with invitations to all the people, and oh. that you might break the seal of the invitation and read in ink of Mood, and with the tremulous hand of a dying Christ: "Come, come, for all things are now ready." Sometimes there have been great disappoint ments at a banquet, The wine has given out, or the servants have been rebellions, or the lights have failed: but I walk all around the banqueting table of my Lord to-day, and I find ever) thing complete, and I swing open the door of this banqueting house and I say: "All things are now ready." Ahasuerus made a feast that lasted 160 days. This lasts forever. Lords and princes were in vited to that. You and 1 are Invited to this. Yes. He has been waiting. He is waiting now. Other kings wrap themselves in robes of beauty and power before they come into a banquet. Bo does Christ, Oh, He Is the fairest of the fair. In His band is the omnipotent surgery that opened blind eyes and straightened crook ed limbs, and hoisted the pillars of heaven, and swung the twelve gates which are twelve pearls. Oh, what a Christ a Chnat ot beauty, a Christ of power. There are not enough cups on earth to din up this ocean of beauty. There are not ladders to scale these heights of love. On, thou Flower of Eternity. Thy breath is the perfume of heaven. Oh. thou Daybreak of the Soul, let all nations clap their hands in Thy radiance. Chorus! Come, men and angels and cherubim and seraphim and archangel, all heights, all deoths, all immensities. Chorus! Roll on through the heavens in chariot of uni versal acclaim, over bridges ot tosanna, under arches of coronation, by the towers chiming with eternal jubilee. Chorus Unto Him that loved ns and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and made us kings and priests unto God, unto Him be glory. Waiting for the GnetU. Ah! there is one word of five letters that 1 would like to write; but I have do sheet fair enough to write it on, and no pencil good enough to inscribe it. Give me a sheet from the heavenly records, ana some pencil nsed by angel In describing a victory, and then with bands struck with supernatural energy, and 'with pencil dipped In everlasting morning, I will write it out m capitals of love: Jesus! It is this One that is waiting for you and for me. ior we are on me same piatiorm oeiore uoa. How long he waited for me! How long be has waited for yonl Waiting as a banqueter waits for bis delayed guests, the meats smoking, and the beakers brimming, and the minstrel with bis ringer on the stiff string ready to strike at the brst clash of the hoofs at the gateway. Waiting as a mother waits for a boy that 10 fears ago went on dragging her bleeding heart after him. Waiting. Oh, can you not give me some comparison intense enough, importunate enough, high as Heaven, deep as hell, and vast as eternity? JSot expecting that you can help me with such a comparison. I simply say he is waiting as only an all-sympathetic Christ knows how to wait for a wandering soul. But I remark again, not only Christ is wait ing, but the Holy Spirit is waiting. Why are Eume sermons a dead failure? Why are there songs that do not get their wing under the peo ple? Why are there plajers that co no higher up than a hunter's halloo? Because tbero is a missing link that only the Holy spirit can make. If that Spirit should come through this assemblage this morning, there would be a power felt like that when Saul was unhorsed on the road to Damascus, like as when Lydia's heart was broken in her tine store, like as when 55.000 souls were lifted out of midnight into mid noon at the Pentecost. Do yon notice that sometimes that Spirit takes an insignificant agency to save a soul? I think it is very often that at just one passage ot Scripture, just one word of (scripture, a soul Is saved because the Holy Spirit gives it supernatural power. What a Passage of Scripture Did. One Thanksgiving morning in church I read tuy text, "O, gHe thanks unto tho Lord, for Ue Is good," and a joung man stood in the gallery and said to himself: "I have nover rendered one acceptable offering of gratitude to God in all my life. Here, Lord, I am thine forever." By that one passage of Scripture ha was brourbt into the kingdom, and If I might tell my own experience, I might tell how one Sab bath afternoon I was brought to the peace of the Gospel by reading of the Syro-Pbceni-clan's cry to Christ where she said: "Even the dogs eat of tho crumbs that fall from the mas ter's table." Philosophic sermons never saved anybody. Metaphslcal sermons never saved anybody. An earnest plea going right out of the heart blessed of the Holy Ghost, that is what saves, that is what brings people Into the kingdom of Christ I suppose the world thought Thomas Chalmers preached great sermons in his early ministry, but Thomas Chalmers says he never preached at all until years after he had occupied a pulpit he came out of his sick room, and weak and emaciated, he stood and told the story of Christ to the people. And in the great day of eternity it will be found that not so much the eloquent sermons brought men to Christ as the storv told, cerbans. bv thosn who were unknown on earth, the simple story of the Saviour's love and mercy, sent by the man who has despised God and rejected the Gospel, the bad spirits com on sulphurous wing, and bey shackle him and try to push htm off the precipices Into the sain, and tber lift a guffaw of diabolical exultation. But there is a line of angels, bright and beautiful andlov- fnffincrfO. mirhtv iBrftls.

No Sympathy WithSplpituallsm. I have not any sympathy with modern Spirit uallsm. I believe it was born in perdition. When I see the ravages It makes with human intellects, when I see the homes It has devas tated, when I see the bad morals that very often follow in its wake, I have no faith is modern Spiritualism. 1 think If John Milton and George Whitefield have not anything bet ter to do than to crawl tinder Rochester tables and rattle the leaves they had better stay homo In glory. Bnt the Bible distinctly teaches that the glorified in heaven are In sympathy with our redemption. "Tberels joy in heaven among tne angels of God over one sinner that repent eth," and if the angels hear it, do not our de parted kindred there hear It? There are those there who toiled for your salvation, and when they bade you good-by in the last hour, and they said, "Meet me in heaven" there was hov ering over the pillow the awful possibility that you might not meet. But oh, the pathos when that hand was thrust out from the cover, and they said gjod-by. Forhowlonggood-bywasitf Now, suppose you should pass Into the king dom of God this morning, suppose you should say: Tm done with the sins of this world. Fie upon all these follies. Oh,Christ! I take Thee now. I take Thv service. I resriond to Thv love. Thine am I forever" why, before the tear of repentance had dried on your cheek, before your first prayer bad closed, the angel standing with the message for thy soul would cry up ward: "He is coming!" and angels poising mla-air would cry upward: "He u coming!" all along the line of light from doorway to doorway, from wine tip to wing tip, the news would go upward till it reached the gate, and then it wonld flash to the house of many man sions, and find your kindred out; and those be fore the throne would say: "Rejoice with me, mv prayers are answered. Give me another harp with which to- strike the joy. Saved, saved, saved!" Now, my friends, if Christ Is ready, and the Holy Ghost is readv. and the Church is readv. and the anrels of God are readja and your glorified kindred are ready, are yoa ready? I give with all the emphasis of my sonl the ques tion: "Are you ready?" If you do not get into LIKE A POUSSE CAFE Are Affiirg of State in This Glorious Land of Liberty. KATIONAL POLITICS ALSO MIXED.

Walt not till thy heart gets hard. Come, the furthest away from Christ. Drunkard, Christ can put out the fire of that thirst. He can restore that broken home. He can break that shackle. Come now, to-day, and get His pardon and Its strength. Libertine, Christ knew where you were last night. He knows all the story of thy sin. Come to Him this day. He will wash away thy sin and He will throw around thee the robe of His pardon. Harlot, thy feet f onl with hell, thy laughter the horror of the street O Mary Magdalen! Christ waits for thee.

Now is my time to enter. I most go in. You must go In. He is swinging the door shut. Now, it is half shut. Now, it is three-fourths shut. Now, It is just ajar. After a while it will be forever shut!

"What with the Bering Sea discussion, the broil with "Italy, the escape of the Itata, the war between Secretary Foster, Director of the Mint Leech and Assistant Treasurer 'Whelp ley, as to the amount of available funds of the Treasury between the country and bank ruptcy, the movements of the Farmers' Alliance, the discontent ol the wage slaves, and several.otber minor matters, the beds of those whose business it is to manage the affairs of (he people are not beds of roses at this tune. It it seldom that so many tloklish things man themselves to annoy the ' politi cians of a dominant party in this rather humdrum country. How they are to get out of it all without some loss of hair or hide it is not possible to foresee. , Of course the discontent of the working classes doesn't count for much. In America, where Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm, it is the common supposition that revolutionary mutterings are the mere jabbering of idiotio growlers, that the wage slaves don't mean anything, and that, least of all, is it possible that the farmers can have any real grievance. Tbey are all doing this merely for fun. About the only consoling feature of the whole business is that, though we are absolutely defenseless against the attacks of even so contemptible a country as Italy, we are powerful enough and brave enough to withstand the onslaught of a few hundred somewhat demonstrative workingmen and shoot them down if neces sary. This may be good practice for the miutia in case of a foreign invasion. Blaine Forced to Be a Candidate. It is plain that Mr. Blaine is to.be driven into the position of a candidate for the pres idency, though much against his will. He had fully determined to writ a letter to some friends for the purpose of getting it to the public, declaring his refusal to accept a nomination even if tendered. This did not please Mr. Arkell, the editor and pro prietor of Judge and Frank Lulit'a Mv trated Weekly, who has had as a partner for some time in a small way (it could not be in any other way) the son of his father and of his grandfather, Mr. Bussell Harrison. Mr. Arkell, having had enough of the Harrison family, aet himself about to nag Mr. Blaine M into a change ot base. As the mouthpiece of Bussell Hafrison, and, presumably, of the President, the cunning editor proceeds in the most patronizing manner to praise Mr. Blaine, but at the same time to show in a thousand ways that he has done absolutely nothing to entitle him to consideration, and hat the simplest dic tates of decency must compel him to stay out of the path of the Harrison family in the interests of another fonr years for them in the White House. Every act that has been attributed to Blaine it, the public is assured, the creation of the universal brain of Mr. Harrison, who has bin hand on every lever, stopcock and valve ol the ship of state. Of course, such talk, made as nau seating as possible, in the presumed organ of the President,' can have but one result, and -that is to drive Mr. Blaine into a vigorous canvass for the nomination. At the least, j his letter of declination has been delayed since its writing, and his friends say it has been transformed to smoke and ashes and whisked up the capacious flue of the old Seward mansion, in which many papers have been burned that would have changed the political history of the nation ii they had ever seen the light of day. Well, who wonld not like to see Blaine President? Even the Democrats would re joice, in case they could not have their own man. His popularity wanes not, his intel lectual powers decay not. He is in touch with more people than any'other man of this time, and he Is no worse, if no better, morally than any other oiticen who -stands fairly well with his neighbors. Even if all of the things charged against him were true he would be an eminently fit representative ot a people whose main study is to get rich without inquiring too closely into the means. All Eyes on the Fall Elections. Already the eyes of the groat politicians of the country of both parties are turned to the question of the fall elections, and anx iety is a weak word to portray their sensa tions. The elections this year in important States will have a tremendous influence on the elections of ntxt year. The revolution of last year counts for very little with either side. It has lost its significance. I have before me a Democratio organ of wide na tional circulation and great influenoe which makes this frank admission: it would be foolish for any Democrat to suppose because we were more than 800.000 voters aksad of them last fall that the Repub licans are hopelessly beaten. There was a tre mendous stay-at-home vote in 1890. In New York alone 430,000 votari wbo registered in October did not go to the polls in November. Had even tbo odd 60,000 voted on the Republi can side in that State the result would have been a Republic success. It is held by the .Republican leaders that a great maorlty of these voters wbo did not go to the polls were members of their party. This year they pro pose to bring out a full vote, and if is safe to say tbey will do a good deal better forltbeir can didates than tbey did at the last eleotlon, TbU means a hard, hot political battle in November next Jiayment of the enormous cost of his long ouraeyUnotiutholeaston the wane, and Argui is watching for the appearance of the Touchers-with alleyes.

FLSUIMQ SON. U ttvittrt et, The great fights will be in Ohio, New York and Massachusetts, eaoh of which at this time has a Democratic administration. In Ohio it is plain that McKinley and Campbell will be the antagonists, and it will hardly be doubted that the lorraer will wrest the governorship from the present incumbent. In Massschusetts Governor Bussell will be renomlnated,but the Republicans have not yet pitched upon their standard-bearer. In New York there will be strong pull for the Democratio nomination, with the chances in favor of Tammany and Ebswell P. Flower, and the Republicans will probably wait for the Democratio convention before deciding on a candidate. Should the Democrat ba defeated, orelectedonly bya small majority, it would be a tremendous point in favor of tie Eepublicans. Manchutetts is not so im portant in itself, but is very important in its influence on Maine and Connecticut. Now Speak as They Pass By. Among those who are thinking a good deal about the Republican nomination much interest is manifested 'in the move mentsof those great tacticians, Senator Vjuay ana u. At juagee. It Is reported that a common friendliness for Blaine, or a com mon antipathy for Harrison, is drawing the two gentlemen, wbo have been somewhat cool towards each other of late, within hail ing distance. The bare report gives rise to expressions of hope and satisfaction. Of course, the friends ot the Senator are large ly in the majority here in the Government offices, bnt they have nothing but kind words for Magee, and regret that person ages so important to the party and to the principles of vital interest to thegreat Com monwealth of which both nre citizens should jeopard the snecess of the party by a diflerence which a little greater breadth of vision on the psrt of somebody would soon put out of the way. Notwithstanding the confessedly good ad ministration of President Harrison, the dis position to "turn him down" for the renom ination is plainly growing among the poli ticians who do the work of the conventions and the campaigns, and no one need be sar prised to see the movement become too-formidable to be combated successfully. Har rison's coldness and selfishness seem to be at the bottom of it more than his inability to satisfy those who desire to control patronage, and even those who predict tils renomina tlon have no heartr words in his favor."! artsy M P-Of'!
