HIS LAST SKILMOX.
The large audience that crowded the
auditorium last night listened with
great attention to the sermon which
marked the close of Dr. I'earce's pas
torate. He took for his text the words
found In Corinthians, x. 11: "Other
foundation ran no man lay than Is Inld,
which Is Jesus Christ." During the
course of his sermon the speuker said:
I bis passage of Holy Scripture Is high
ly figurative and the figure is Ore, -Inn. The
uposile wus writing to file Christianized
.lews at Corln-th. one of the most msmiiil
cenl Hiies of (lrp.ln-, srcoml only lo
Athens in Its manifold exhibitions of art.
Itnth were con"7deuuus und fur-famed
for their splendid Mructures, for Iheii ex
quisite tracery and carving, and for their
elaborate and costly altars. The whole
wealth and realm of art hud been broimiit
Into service to -beautify their great cilleg
und to express In the language of beauty,
their reverence for their I iods. '
in Che midst of this -bewildering display
of architecture I'uul seizes upon Ihe ar
chitectural Idea, -by which to Illustrate ami
iinpre.s a fundamental Gospel truth.
Looking ut the muisive foundations on
which some of those splendid Corin
thian superitructuros - rested he said:
"Other foundation ran no man lay than Is
laid, w hich Ik Jesus Christ." Christ, then,
according to the Scripture, is the only
sure and permanent foundation . on
w hich a man can build, hi fill dual and
eternal Intereits.
1 notice, llrst. that Christ is the found-i-llon
on which we lire to build, because IK,
in the- divine and human elements of His
charurter. Is needed by men everywhere.
It cannot lie dented 1luit the moral nd
tu-,ect of the cuuntenunce of tha differ
ent races or men vary, but the face
of the rout everywhere. 81ns to be up
rooted aad burdens to be borne, and,
common to all, sorrows to be ussuuM-ii,
mi l blessedness to be obtained are com
mon to uli. These thing.-' are universal,
lli.-y are the feic need of every human
soul, and since Christ came Into the world
fur tlie express -puivose to muke un atone
ment for sin. lo remove the burden that
oppresses tile heart, to sii4tuiti the soul
under sorrow, lo coinfort and till it with
blesssdiies'4. and to crown It with the as
surance of endless felicity an J gljry,
when the weary years of lite nhall have
lied away.
WHAT HE CAME TO DO.
.Since He came to do all of tills, and to
do it freely and ubundunlly and as no
uiie else or anything else In the wide
universe can do It. lie ftuould be Joyfully
uecepted. and Implicitly liusted us the
foundation and coronation of our spiritual
life and lopes. Over against our sins
t lu'l.-t etuuds In the effulgence and power
of Ills divine, human nature, and says,
"Though your sins be us scurlet, they
tnav be white as snow : IhouKh Ihey be red
: us crimson, they may be as wool." And
J over against our burdeiis and fjrrows. lie
, stands In grea.t tenderness and syinputhy.
! saying. "Conic unto uie ull ye that labor
1 ui: l ure heavy laden and I will give you
rest. Oh. ir we could only interpret our
feelings aright, this is what we ull want:
pardon for our sins, rest for our bur
dens, und Ihe strong and enrapturing hope
of heaven for the disappointments of lite.
The tirst crusaders said that there w is
u parcel of ground In the Harden of
liethsemane upon which, if you dropped
u teur, there would spring up a llower of
the rarest beauty, the urumu of whl-h
would ease any heart pain, or supply tin
need of any soul. So tile repentant tear
and humble faith In the presence of "Him
who is the rose of Sharon und the Illy of
tin- valley und the fairest among ten
thousand ami the one altogether lovely"
will ease tlie distress of any human soul
and open ull heaven lo the longing and
hunger of any disappointed spirit.
And then Christ is the foundation be
cause He alone hus special adaptation lo
every human heart. There ure some points
of nihility between all men us men, If we
cuuld only discover them, but the forces
of repulsion, whether they come from
mental peculiarities or moral autlpithles
keep the masses of men sepurated as by
great gulfs. You are almost unconscious
ly and Irreslntlbly drawn toward one
person us a friend und compaulou und he
seems to Mil tlie whole hemisphere of your
being', while without being able to tell
why, you repel from another eipially
worthy In moral und social and liilclh".--tuul
tiuulltlcs.
NO MAX CAN DO IT.
In the varied und vital relationship of
life, person Is wonderfully adapted to per
son, but only within a limited circle, and
Willi u limited power, heme it Is that no
man hus yet lived who could adjust him
self to the Individual wants und experl
i ncei of every human soul, but In the case
of our I.urd Jesus Christ us he stands
relaieil to Ihe whole human family, we
Hud that notwithstanding tin- disparity of
intellect mid emotional susceptibility, the
disparity of social position, and ull the
manifold disparities of races und clussi-s
and en lei 1 1 Inns cf men He Is equally adapt
ed ami cipiallv understood and equally
I minted. Christ iu Ills character and In
the ministry of Ills matchless love und
power sweeps ihe whole dull of olll' hll
miinliv ami touches every heart und in
tellect alike. The child und the sage, the
Invalid and the hero, the sad and Ihe Joy

und sympathy, and inu.lt the recipients of
Joy and cver-insiplring hope und ex

losses und bin delis, it seems like til
th teshold of heaven.
Ami Iheii Chrb: should be our founda
tion because of tlie ceaselessues and in

word says lliar "He I without variable

cun do something to umuse as well us
look handsome.
