DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Martyrdom of Stephen the Theme For an Able Sermon Glimpses of Heaven Through the Eyes ot the Great Preacher The Eternal Sleep. TEXT: "Behold I see the heavens opened," etc.— Acts vli., 56-60. Stephen had been preaching a rousing sermon, and the people could not stand it. They resolved to do as men sometimes would like to do In this day, if they dared, with some plain preacher of righteousness —kill him. The only way to silence this man war to knook the breath out of him. So they rushed Stephen out of the gates of the city, and with curse and whoop and bellow they brought him to the cliff, as was the custom when they wanted to take away life by stoning. Having brought him to the edge of the cliff, they pushed him off. After he had fallen they came and looked down, and seeing that he was not yet dead they began to drop stones upon him, stone after stone. Amid this horrible rain of missiles Stephon clumbers up on his knees and folds his bands, while the blood drips from his temples to his cheeks, from his cheeks to his garments, from his garments to the ground, and then, looking up, he makes two prayers—one for himself and one for his murderers. "Lord Jesus, re ceive my spirit;" that was for himself. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge;" that was for his assailants. Then from pain and loss of blood he swooned away and fell asleep. I want to show you to-day five pictures- Stephen gazing into heaven, Stephen look ing at Christ, Stephen stoned. Stephen in his dying prayer and Stephen asleep. First look at Stephen gazing into heaven. Before you take a leap you want to know where you are going to land. Before you climb a ladder you want to know to what point the ladder reaches. And it was right that Stephen, within a fow moments of heav en, should be gazingjinto it. We would all do well to be foundin th-same posture. There is enough in heaven to keep us gazing. A man of large wealth may have statuary in the ball and paintings in the sitting room and works of art in all parts of the house, but he has the chief pictures in the art gal lery, and there hour after hour you walk with catalogue and glass and ever increas ing admiration. Well heaven is the gallery where God lias gathered the chief treas ures of his realm. The whole universe is his palace. In this lower room where we fctop there are many adornments, tessella ted floor of amethyst, and on the winding eloud stairs are stretched out canvases on which commingle azure and purple and saffron and gold. But heaven is tho gallerv in which the chief glories aro gathered". There are tho brightest robes. There are the richest crowns. There are the highest exhilarations. John says of it, "Thekings of the earth shall bring their honor and glory into if." And I see the procession forming, and in the line come all empires, and the stars spring up into an arch for the hosts to march under. The hosts keep step to the sound of earthquake and the pitch of avalanche from the mountains, and the flag they bear Is the flame of a con suming world, and all heaven turns out with harps and trumpets and myriad voiced acclamation of angelic dominion to wel come them in, and so the kings of tho earth bring their honor and gl->ry into it. Do you wonder that good people often stand, like Stephen, looking into heaven? We have many friends there. There is not a man in this house to day so isolated in life but there is some one in neavon with whom lieonce shook hands. As a man gets older the number of his celestial acquaintances very rapidly mul tiplies. We have not had one glimpse of them since the night we kissed them good bv, and tiiey went away, but still we stand gazing at heaven. And when some of our friends go across the sea, we stand on the dock or on the steam tug and watch them, and after awhile the hulk of the vessel disappears, and then there is only a patch of sail on the sky, and soon that is gone, and they are all out of sight, and yet we Btand looking in the same direction, so when our frionds go way from us into tho future world wo keep looking down through the narrows, and gnzing and gaz ing. as though we expected that they would come out nnd stand on some cloud and give us ono glimpse of their blissful and transfigured faces. Pass on now and see Stephen looking upon Christ. My text says he saw the Son ol' Man at the right hand of God. Just how Christ looked In this world, just how He looks in heaven, wo cannot say. A writer in the time of Christ says, describing the Saviour's personal appearance, that He had blue eyes and light complexion, nnd a very graceful structure, but I suppose it was all guesswork. The painters of the different ages havo tried to imagine the features of Christ and put them upon can vas, but we will have to wait until ;witli our own eyes we see Him and with our own ears we can hear Him. And yet thero is a way of seeing and hearing ilim now. I have to tell you that unless you see and hear Christ on earth you will never see and hear Him in heaven. Look! There He is! Behold the Lamb of God! Can you not see Him? Then pray to God to takethe scales OIT your eyes. Look that way—try to look that way. His voice comes down to you this day—eomes down to the blindest, to the deafest soul, fjiying, "Look unto Me, all ye ends of the earth, and be ye saved, for I am God, and there is none else.''' Proclamation of universal emancipation for all slaves! Proclamation of universal amnesty for all rebels! Belshazzar gath ered the Babylonish nobles to his table; George I. entertained tho lords of England at a banquet; Napoleon 111. welcomed the Czur of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey to his feast; the Emperor of Germauy was glad to have our minister, George Ban croft, sit down with him at his table, but tell me, ye who know most of the world's history, what other king over asked the abandoned and the forlorn and the wretch ed nnd outcast to come and sit beside him? Oh, wonderful invitation! You can take it to-day aud stand at the head of tho darkest alley in any city nnd say: "Come! Clothes for your rags, salve for your sores, a throne for your eternal reigning." A Christ that talks like that and acts like that and pardons like that—do you wonder that Stephen stood looking at Him? I hope to spend eternity doing the same thing. I must see Him. I pass on now and look at Stephen Stoned. The world has always wanted to get rid of good men. Their very life is an assault upon wickedness. Out with Stephen through the gates of the city. Down with him over tho precipices. Let every man come up and drop n stone upon his head. But these men did not so much kill Stephen as they killed themselves. Every stone rebounded upon thom. While these murderers were transfixed by the scorrt of all good men, Stephon lives in the admiration of all Christendom. Stephen stoned, but Stephen alive. So all good men must bo pelted. All who will live godly in Jesus Christ must suffer persecu tion. 11 >s no eulogy of a man to say that everybody likes him. show me anyone who Is doing nil his duty to state or church, and I will show you men who utterly abhor him. If all men speak well of you, it is because you are either a laggard or a dolt. If a steamer makes rapid progress through tho waves, the water will boil and foam all around it. Bravo scldiors of Jesus Christ will heur the carbines click. When I see a man with voice and money and influence all on the right side, and some caricature him, nnd some sneer at lilm. nnd some de nounce him, and men who pretend to be actuated by right motives conspire to crip ple him, to cast him out, to destrov him I hay, "Stephen stoned." Pass on now and see Stephen In hlsdvlno' prayer. His drat thought was not how the stones hurt his head nor what would I become of bin body. His first thought wiU about his spirit. "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." The murderer standing on the trap door, the black cap being drawn over his head before the execution, may grlmacs about the future, but you and t have no shame in confessing some anxiety about where we are going to come out. You are not all body. There is within you a soul. I see it gleam from your eyes, and I see it irradiating your oountenance. Sometimes I am abashed before an audience, not be cause I come under their physical eyesight, but beoauso I realize the truth that I otand before so many Immortal spirits. The probability is that your body will at last And a sepuloher in some of the cemeteries that surround your town or city. ?'here Is no doubt that your obsequies will bs decent and respectful, and you will be able to pillow your head underthe maple or tho Norway spruce or the cypress or the bloom ing fir. But this spirit about whioh Stephen prayed— what direction will that take? What guide will escort It? What gate will open to receive It? What cloud will be cleft for its pathway? After it has got beyond the light of our sun will there be torches lighted for it the rest of the way? Will the soul have to travel through long deserts before it reaches the good land? If we should lose our pathway, will there be a castle at whose gate wo may ask the way to the city? Oh, this myste rious spirit within us! It has two wings, but it is in a cage now. It i.H locked fast to keep it. but let the door of this cage open the least and that soul is oIT. Eagle's wing could not catch it. Tho lightnings are not swift enough to take up with it. When tho soul leaves tho body, it takes fifty worlds at a bound. And have Ino anxiety about it? Have you no nuxiety about it? I do not care what you do with my body when my soul is gone, or whether you believe in cremation or inhumation. I shall sloop just as well in a wrapping of sackcloth as in satin lined with eagle's down. But my soul -before this day pusses I will find out wliero it will land. Thank God for the intimation of my text, that when we die Jesus takes us. That answers all questions for me. What though there were massive liars between here and the city of light, Jesus could remove them. Wiiat though there were great Saharas of darkness, Jesus could illume them. What though I get weary on the way, Christ could lift me on His omnipotent shoulder. What though there were ehasms to cross. His hund could transport me. Then let Stephen's prayer be my dying litany, "Lord Jesus, receivo my spirit." Wa may be too feeble to employ either of these familiar forms, but this prayer of Stephen is so short, is so concise, is so earn est, is so comprehensive, wo surely will be able to sav that —"Lord Jesus, receivo my spirit." Oh, if that prayer is answered, how sweet it will bo to die! This world is clever enough to us. Perhaps it has treated us a great deal bettor than wo de serve to bo treated, but if onthe dying pil low there should break tho light of tliat better world we shall have no more regret about leaving a small, dark, damp house for one large, beautiful and capacious. That dying minister in Philadelphia, somo years ago, beautifully depleted it when in the last moment he threw up his hands and cried out, "I move Into the light." I'ass on now, and I will show you one more picture, and that is Stephen asleep. With a pathos and simplicity peculiar to the Scriptures the text says of Stephen, "He fell asleep." "Oh," you »'»y, "what a place that was to sleep! A hard roek under him, stones falling down upon him. the blood streaming, the mob howling. What a place it was to sleep!" And yet my text takes that symbol of slumber to describe his departure, so sweet was it, so con tented was it, so peaceful was it. Stephen had lived a very laborious life. His chief work had been to care for tho poor. How many loaves of bread he distributed, how many bare feet ho had sandaled, how many cots of sickness and distress he blessed with ministries of kindness and love, I do not know, but from the way he lived, and the way ho preached, and the way he died I know bo was a laborious Christian. But that is all over now. He has pressed the cup to tho last faiuting lip. He has taken the last insult from Ills enemies. The last stone to whose crushing weight he Is susceptible has been hurled. Stephon is dead. The disciples come. They take lilui up. They wash away the blood from the wounds. They straighten out the bruised limbs. They brush back the tangled hair from the brow, and then they pass around to look upon the calm countenance of him who had lived for the poor and died for the truth. Stephen asleep! I saw such a one. Ho fought all his days against poverty and against abuse. Tliey traduced his name. Tliey rattled at the doorknob while he was dying with duns for debts he could not pay, vet the peace of Qod brooded over his pil low, and while the world faded heaven dawned, and the deepening twilight of earth's night was only the opening twilight of heaven's morn. Not a sigh, not a tear; not a straggle. Hush! Stephen asleep! I have not tho faculty to tell tho weather. I can never tell by tho setting sun whether there will be a drought or not. I cannot toll by the blowing of the wind whether it will be fair weather or foul on the mor row. But I can prophesy, and I will prophesy, what weather it will bo when you, the Christina, come to die. You may have it very rough now. It may be this week one annoynnce, the next another annoyance. It may be this year one bereavement, tho next another bereavement. Before this year has passed you may have to bog for bread or ask for a scuttle of coal or a pair of shoes, but at tho last Christ will come in and darknoss will go out, and though there may be no hand to close your eyes, and no breast on which to rest your dying head, and no candle to lift the night, tho odors of God's hanging garden will rogalo your soul, and at ycur bedside will halt the chariots of the King. No more rents to pay, no more agony because flour has gone up, no more s'trugglo with "the world, the flesh and tho devil," but peace —long, deep, everlasting peace. Stephen asleep! You have seen enough for one morning. No one can successfully examine more than five pictures in a day. Thereforo we stop, having seen this cluster of divine Raphaels—Stephen gazing into heaven, Stephen looking at Christ, Stephen stoned, Stephen in his dying prayer, Stephen asleep! CREAT COAL PRODUCTION. All Ilecords Were ltroken, llut the Price Per Ton Decreased. The total output of coal in the United Stntes in 1897 amounted approximately to 193,250,000 short tons, with an aggregato vaiue of $193,100,000, a fraction less than $1 per ton. Compared with 189G, this shows an in crease in tonnage of 0,270,000 ton 3, or about 3.3 per ceut. The Increase in the value of tho product was only $1,709,000, little less thau nine-tenths of one per cent. The amount of coal produced in 1897 was the largest on record. The average value per ton was the lowest ever known, con tinuing the declining tendency whioh has been shown without any reaction for the last six years. NOVEL ARMOR FOR THE NEWARK.

An owner of real estate who rents Vils property is very desirous of securing good tenants. A bad tenant does not pay his rent, is not careful of the property, de stroys the house, breaks the windows, tears the paper from the walls if ho feels so in clined, and in this respect does not do as he would be done by. He Is not as careful with other people's property as he would be with his own. Ho is an expensive ten ant, making repairs necessary for the next tenant who shall occupy the premises after he has been removed, or been ejected. He may be a bad tenant in other ways; noisy, quarrelsome with his neighbors, who may declare him a nuisance. You may ilnd this to be true when you are grown and own property. But, every one is a property owner in one way; you boys and girls own wonderful houses, nnd I wish to warn you against n certain bad tenant who would like to gain an entrance. This teuant is a mischief maker and always causes trouble when it is put between the lips and allowed to be come a tenant of the house in which wo live. You can readily guess that the enemy I have in mind is alcohol. The houie in which we live is a most wonderful building, having many rooms nnd much delicate furniture. We should giv-s it the best of care, in return for which It will give us happiness; if we neglect It and allow it to get out of repnir. it will give us pain. As It is not food, it cannot build up the body, nor help It to grow. Aleohol has its proper uses, but they lire outside of the human body. Like a bad tenant, it destrovs the rooms, hurts the delicate lining of the stomach, affects the sense of sight and tasto; a man cannot walk, feel or talk as he would If not under its influence. Once alcohol lias gained an entrance into the house and bo.-omo our master it is very difficult to get rid of him. Take my advice and never allow him to gain admission. Lest alcohol within you should His horrid reign begin, Just shut your lips nnd lock them tight And say "You can't come in!" The Man Past Forty <nnd Hi* Cocktail. I think, writes IJr. Walker, in the Medi cal ltecord, that the greatest hazards to a man's character arellkety to come after he has passed forty-five years of age. He has become more lenient in his judgment ol others, and Is likely to be more indulgent to himself. To speak of things wholly physical, he has then the temptation to both stimulants aild narcotics (or hypno tics) in the highest degree. And "those temptations come to him when ho is acting chiefly as his own physician. If a young fellow becomes a drunkard before" he is thirty you can usually Ilnd for him the plea of heredity. But there is many a man who has passed thirty years and forty safely whoin the next decade succumbs to alcohol because he needs a braco to help him transact the business which the close work of previous years has brought to him. He takes to alcohol not in the convivial way but to help him over a hard place, and he takes it in just the worst manner, without accompanying food and when food would likely be distasteful or even harmful by nervous preoccupation. The afternoon drink to tide him over n weary day joins to itself earlier potions when business presses and the morning cocktail before it has begun. And all this is due to the overwork given to the man whose es tablished character has brought him to the front. If a man passes in safety the time when strength declines without "his realiz ing the fact and reaches the time when he must acknowledge it.he is all right. If it bo not alcohol alone that is used it is alco hol with a subtle stimulant more deadly, a coca or a kola, which obscures the im mediate effect of the medium. Where la the Place For the Saloon? If to the church and the school the rum sliop Is a nuisance, as everybody agrees, pray what is the rumshop to business and society? If the intellectual and religious life can't stand the rum traffic, the bus! ness life certainly can not. If childhood iu the intellect at school and maturity in the heart at church are in peril in the vicinity of the rumshop, by how much more shail wo who are poor mlserablo sinners be im periled by the same influence? If we of the shop, the field, and the office are not as in nocent as babes, certainly wo are not as strong as the saints. Thnt the grogshop should be outlawed, is confessed in certain areas by all classes. If the grogshop should be orderedoutof your territory to protect it, why tot also out of other folks' territory? If the strong are not as strong as they wish they were, whnt will become of the rest of us poor devils in the presence of those evils that the strong regard to be full of danger to themselves?—Lowiston (Mo.) Journal. A German Prohibition. Temperance reformers will observe with interest some of the provisions of the new German Civil Code, which is to go into force in the last year of this century. These exclude from the ordinary rights and privileges of citizenship all persons who through inebriety nre unable to provide for themselves and their families, or who bring themselves or their families into dan ger of want, or who imperil the safety of others. Briefly stated, no sot can be a citi zmi. It may be thnt by the end of 1000 some other nations will want to follow Ger many's example. Temperance Jfew. and Note.. Tens of thousands nre kept poor by drink. Intemperance is the prolific cause of poverty and crime. Muny of the inmates of our orphan asy lums have been left without u parent's care through drink. If we can only save the young to sobriety until they are twenty-one years of age, they nre generally saved forever. Most young men who break awry from God, you will find, have taken their first step downward in the saloon. "Alcoholism" caused the death at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in New York, of an educated and wealthy young woman who came there for treatment a few days ago. The money that should be used to make wife and children happy is squandered on liquor, and the children, instead of being sent to school, are foroed into shops and factories to earn a living. A Woman's Burden. From the Evening Newt, Detroit, Mich, The women of to-day are not as strong as their grandmothers. They are bearing a burden In silence that grows heavier day bv day; that Is sapping their vitality and 'XteMte. o. «7 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, is a typical woman of to day. A wife with such ambition as only a loving wife can have. But the joys of her life were marred by the existence of dis ease. Suffering as thousands of her sisters have suffered, she almost despaired of life and yet she was cured. "For five years I fW suffered with ovarian j trouble," is Mrs. Clark's own version \ J of the story. "I was :>^/ not free one single C- C» * % day from headache J w.

"Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the best food and medicine all failed. Then I consented to an operation. That, too, failed, and they said unother was necessary. Atter the second I was worse than ever and the world was darker than before. "It was then I heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I heard that they had cured cases like mine and I tried them. "They cured me! They brought sun shine to my life and filled mv cup with hap piness. The headache Is gone; the twitch ing is gone; the nervousness is gone; tho trembling has ceased, and I have gained twenty-six pounds. Health and strength is mine and I am thankful to Dr. Williams' Pink rills for Pale People for the blessing."
