But niT tet describe a spsoe when the

celestial stood still. "There wai sileuce ia

from all we can learn it I tha only tima
tesven ever stopped. It Hoes not stop at
other ritiea for tha night, for thnra I no
night there. It doe nut stop for a plague,
for the inhabitant never says, "I am nick."
It dor not atop for bankruptcl-, for Ita In

Impassable street, for thnra ara no fallen

topped it for thirty minute Orotuis ami
IrofKor Mtnart think it waa at tha time of
the destruction of Jerusalnn. Mr. Lord
think it waa in the rear 811, between the
loee of the Diocletian persecution and th
beginning of tha wars by which Oinstontiue
gained the tarone. Hut that waa all a guxna,
though learned and brilliant guuak 1 do
not know when It wsi and ldonotcatf
-when it waa, but of the fact that such an in
terregnnm of aound took place, I am cer
tain . There waa eilence lu heaven for half
an hour."
And first of all wemsv learn that God
nd all heaven honor I alienor. The Ion (rent

lb at over which stillness waa queen. For

Fur unimaginable aes it wan a mute uni
verse. Hod wa tne only being, and aa
there wai no one to ermak to there wai no
utterance. But that ai'enca ha b-en all
broken up into worlds, an 1 it has liecoiu i a
noisy inverse. World In upheivat, world
in congelation, worldi in conflaitration,
worlds ia revolution. If geologists are right
and I believe they are there ha not
been a moment of si eme iltice tins world

Hut when among the supernal a voice
rriod, "Hushf" and for halt an hour heaven
waa utill, ailenca waa honored. Thti full
I rawer of edenae many of u bave yot to
earn. We are told that wnen Christ win
arraigned, "Ileantvere 1 n )t a word." Thut
ilence wai louder than any thuuder that
aver shook the wuriiL Oftentimes, wnen we
are assailed and uiisrepresoiw I, the niight
ieat tiling to say isn tthing.and the mightiest
thing to do is nothing. Those p-ople
who are always rushing Into print to get
themselves set right accomplish nothing but
their own chagrin. Hileucel Do rilit an 1
leave the results with Ho I. Among the
grandest lessous the world has ever loarue I
are the lessous nf patience taught by those
-who endured uncomplainingly crmal or
loiapftie or social or political injustice.
Htrouirer than any bitter or snrcastio or
revengeful answer was tne patient silence.
The famous Dr. Mornwin, of Oiolwa, aiv
complished as much by bis siiunt patienc.f as

Ob. the power of patient silcneat Ehy

death for writing something that oir-ndud
tha people. All th pleas in his beniit wre
of no avail, until his brother uncovered tiie
arm of thu prisoner an 1 showei that hi
band bad been shot otf at Salami. Tnat
ili-nt p ea liberated him. The loudest tuiuz
on earth is silence if it b o( the right kind
and at the right time. There wa a iiu iint
eld hymn, spelled in the old style, ani ouue

never stopped a inomeiit tor liny such occur

coronation of Silence. "Tli'ire was silence
In heaven for half an hour."
lyearn aUo front my text that heaven must
be uneventful an I aelive pluo, from the
fact thnt it could afford only t.iirty minute
Of recess. There huve Iwn events on earth
and in heaven that seemel to delimit I a
wholeuay or whole weex or whole year lor
celestial consideration. If Orotius whs riiit
and this hileuce occurred ut the time of tint
destruction of J erusulem. th.it scu was so
awful and so prolonged t'lul thu iiihuiiuut
of heaven could not bavu Uoue just.ee to it
in niauy weeks.
After fearful besiejement of the two for
tresses of Jerusalem Antonio and Hippicu
bad been going ou for a long while, a llomaii
soldier mounted on the shoulder of another
soldier burled into the wuUow of the tem
ple a llrebrau I, and the temple was all
atlume, ami niter covering many sicrillcw
to tba boliness of Ood, the budding itself
became a sacrilice to the ruge o( man. Tha
hunger of the people in that city during tha
besiegement was so great that a some out
laws were passing a doorway and inhaled
the odors of too I, they burst open the door,
threatening tne inotuer of the household
with death unless she gave tbein food, and
she took them aside and showed them it waa
bar own child she was cooking for tha ghast
ly repast.
Six hundred prioU were destroy! on
Mount Zion because the temple being gone
there was nothing for them to do. 8ix thou
sand people in ou cloister were consumed.
T hu-e were one million one hundred thou
aanddead, according to Josuphu. Urotiui
tt'iuki that this was the causa of (Ilence in
heaven for balf au hour. If Mr. Lord wai
right and this silence was during the Diocle
tian persecutions, by which eight humlred
and forty-four thousand Chrlatlaus suffered
death from sword and fire and banishment
and exposure, why did not heaven listen
throughout at least on of those awful J earsf
liol Thirty minutest The fact is that th
celestial programme ia soorowded with speo
tads thai it can afford only one recess lu all
eternity and that for a short ipaoa.
While there are great choruses la which
all heaven can Join, euoh soul there has a
story of divine mercy piculiur to Itself and
It must be a solo. Mow can heaven gel
through with alt its recitatives, with all
its cautos, with all Ita grand marches, with
all lu victories? Eternity is too short to
utter all tha praise. In my text heaven
spared thirty minute, but it will never
again sjiare one minute. In worship In
earthly churches, when there are many to
take part, we bav to counsel brevity, out
now will heaven get on rapidly enough to
let the one hundred and forty-four thou
sand get through each with his own story,
and then to one hundred and forty-four
million, and then the one hundred and
forty-fonr billion, and then the on hundred
and forty .four trillion.
toNot only are all th triumphs of th past
be oommemorated, but all th triumphs
to come. Not only what wa now know of
Ood, but what w will know of Him after
vr!asting study of the Deiflo. If my text
fca4 saM taar was all mica ia leave for
thirty days, I would M bar been starved
a tha ananaaoemeat, bw it Indicates thlrtr
tnlnatai. Why. there will be so rnanr friends
ta hunt apt so many of th greatly good and
safol that w will want to sen; so many of
th inscrutable things of earth w will need
explained; so many exciting earthly esper
lenoas w will want to talk over, and all th
other spirits and all the ages will want the
same, that there will be no more opportunity
for cematinn.
How buy wa will be kept In havlnt
point! out to u tne heroes and heroine
that the world never fully appreciated the
yellow fever and cholera doctors who dt!,
not flying from their posts; the female
nurses who faced pestilence In the lazaretto;
the railroad engineers who staid at their
place in order to savs th train though
inT themselves perished.
Hubert OofDn, th master miner, who.
landing from tbs bucket at the bottom of
th niiue, just aa he heard the wateri rush
In, and when one Jerk of the rope would
have lifted him Into safntr, put blind miner
who wanted to go to his sick ohlld In th
bucket an 1 Jerked th rope for him to be
pulled up, crying, Tel! them the water has
burst in and we ara probably losVbutws will
seek refuge at the other and of the right gal
lery;" and then giving the command to th
other miners till they digged themselves so
near out that th people from the outside
could come to their rescue, Th multitudes
of men and women wh j got no orown on
earth we will want to see when they get
their crown in heaven. I tell you heaven
will have no more half hour to spore,
beside that, heaven is full of ohildren.
They are in th vast niijority. Ho hlld on
earth tbat amounts to anything can be kept
quiet h ilf an hour, an I how are you going
to kp Ave hundred million of thsm qnint
half an hour. You know heaven ia uiuoh
more of a plane than it waa whan that recess
of thirty minutes occurred. Its population
has q'laitrupled, sextupled, oenUiplet,
Ileavnu has mors on hand, mors of rapture,
mors of knowldga, more of interoouitnunloe'
Uon, mors of worship.
There is not so much difference between
Rrooklyn seventy-five years ago, when there
wsrs a few houses down on Ui Kast river
and the village reach I up only to hands
street, aa compared With what this great
city is now yea, not so mnch difTsreuos be
tween New ork when Canal street was far
np town, and now wbea Canal street is far
down town, than thers is a difference be
tween w.iat heaven was when my tnxt wa
written and what hnavsn is now. The most
thrilling place we have ever been in is stupid
CDtupu-ed with that, aud if we now have no
time to spare we will then have no eternity
to spars, Silsnc in heaven only half an
hour.
My subject also Imprenes m with tha Ins
mortality of a balf hour. That halt hour
mentioned in my txt I mors widely known
than any other periol lu the cUeniar of
heaven. None of the whole hours of heaven
are imuisured ulf. noua of th years, n ue o(
the c 'tituries. Of tha lallliuu of a; past
an 1 fie millions of a ss to con n jt on n
especially measure I oil in the liibls. Th
balf hour of uty text Is ina le im norUl. Toe
only part of eternity that wasever measured
by earthly tiiupieoe was measured by th
minute bun I nf my text.
oh, the half boursl They decile every
thing. Ian not asking what you will do
w.Ui the yesrs or month or days of your
life, but what of the half hours. Tell me
the history of your half hours and I will
tell you the story of your whole Ilf on earth
and the story of your wuolelife lu eternity.
The right or wrong thing you can thina In
thirty minutes, the right or wrong things
you can say in thirty minutes, the right or
wron,' things you cau do in thirty miuutes
are glorious or baleful, inspiring ur desp T
ate. log out for th fragments of time.
They are pi-foes of eternity.
It was the half hours between shoeing
horses that ma le Eliuu llurritt the learned
blacssiuitu; the half hours bntween pro
fessional calls as a physician that made
Alwrcrombie th Christian philosspher; the
balf hours between his duties as school
master that made Salmon P. Chase chief
"Z ia.u
"1?"
juatioe; the half hours between
thst niitUrWirv WsOson -r-"
cansfi bouts that mad James A.
president.
The balf hour a day for good books or bad
books, the half bour a day for pr.tyer or in
dolence, the balf hour a day for helping
others or blasting others, the half hour be
fore you go to business aud the butt hour
after your return from business that makes
the difference between the scholar and the
ignoramus, between the Christian an I the
infldnl, between tne saint and the demon, be
tween triumph aud catastrophe, between
heaven and hull. The most tremendous
things of vour life aud mine were certaiu
bait hours.
The half hour when in the parsonago of a
country minister I resolve 1 to becjne a
Christian then and there; the half bour
when I decide I 1 1 become a preacher of the
UohjuI, the half hour when 1 first realiisi
that my son was dead; the half hour wheu
1 stood ou the top of my bouse lu Oxford
street and saw our church burn; the bait
hour in which 1 entered J iriistlem; the
half hour iu which I asceuced Mount Cal
vary; t te halt bour m which I stood on
Mafs hill; the half hour iu wuich the deli-
atory prayer of this teiuplo was m ule, aud
alKiiitU'ii or fifteen other halt hours are the
chief times of my life. You m ly forget the
name of tue exact years ur most of tne iiu-
(urt'int events of your exihfomiM, but those
uilf hours, like thu balf hour of my text, will
be immortal.
I do not query what you will do with the
Twentieth century. I do not query what
you will do with hut what wdf you do
with the next halt bourl Upou that hinge
jour dobtiny. And during that some of you
will receive the Uospel and make oomolete
surrender, aud during that other of you
will make final and fatal rejection uf the
lull aud tree and urgent an I Impussioiio I
vlfer uf liie eternal. Oil, that the next balf
hour mi -lit be the most glorious thirty mm
uUsiot your earthly existence.
For hack in history a great geographer
stood with a suitor looking at a glob that
represented our planet, an t ho pointed to a
place on the globe where he thought there
was an undiscovered conliuenL That nil
discoverei continent was America. Th
geographer who pointed whtre h thought
there was a new world was Martin B.'haim,
and the sailor to whom bs showed It wai
Columbus. This lost was not satisfied till be
hud picked that gem out of the sea and set it
in the crown of the world's geography. Ob,
ye who have been sailing up aud down th
rough seas of sorrow aud sin, lot m polul
out to you another continent, yea, another
world, that you mar yourselves find a rap
turous worl I, and that is the wirld a balf
hour of which we now study. Oh, set sail
for itt Hera ia the ship and hure ar th
compasses.
In other wonts, make this half hour, be
ginning at twenty minutes to twelve by mv
watch, the grandest balf hour of your life
aud become a Christian. Tray for a regen
erate.! spirit Iuis XIV, while walking in
the garden at Versailles, met Mansard, the
great architect, aud tbs architect took oft
bis bat before ths king. "I'ut on your hut,"
ah! th king, "for the evening is damp aud
cold." And Mansard, the architect, the rest
of th evening kept on his hat. Tue duke
and marquises standing with bare heads be
fore ths king expressed their surprise at
Mansard, but the king said, "I coji tusks a
duke or a marquis, but tioJ only enn makes
Mansard." Aud I sav to you, my bearers, Mod
only by His convincing andmnverling grac
can make a Christian, but He is ready this
very half bour to accomplish it.
Again my text suggests a way of itu lyinf
heaven so that ws can better understand it.
Tb word "eternity" that we handle so
much is an Immeasurable word. Knowing
that ws could not understand tbat word ths
Bibl uses It only onoe. Ws say, "Forever
and ever;" but how long is "forever and
