SERMON 1T LONG BRANCH BY DIR. ". J. K
TAYLOR, OF NEWARK, n. j.
Tho little seaside chapel at Long Branch was illlcd
by a fashionable congregation yesterday morning. and
those who had braved the August in coming were
rewarded by finding the chapel perfectly cool COM
Portable and by hearing eloquent sermon from DR..
Taylor, whose text was taken from Revelations T.,
4-"And when the seven thuudcrs had uttered their
voices was about to WRITE and heard a voice
from Heaven saying unto me, Seal up those
things which the seven thunders uttered, and write
them not. " II the rapt had obey his own i'm
pulses should have had full record of all he heard
the thundcrs utter said tho preacher; but the
mighty voice of Heaven said. "Seal up those things
and write them not" The main point is the silence
imposed upon the seer. Tho Bibe is silent on many
subjects upon which men would have II speak out.
Inspired mon have seen and heard what they never
have revealed Some great men impress with
idea oil power and knowledge and IL is their silence
that impresses us with their wisdom. Even a fool
when he holds his tongue accounted wise.
There are some topics on which the
silence OF tho Bible is absolute. IL never
undertakes to argue that there is od it asserts the
fact and leaves 1t to our seli-consciousnes asks
not tho nature OF God. 1t does pretcn explain
the doctrine OF the Holy Trinity 1t does not solve The
problem OF all ages--the origin OF evil-but &C
knowledges the fact and shows the remedy. IL does
not explain the relation OF mans personality and Gods
sovereignty. In relation to other subjects tho silence
OF the Bible Is partial. 1t reveals enough to awaken
curiosity and inspire lonengs for more revelations
The entire history OF the world is Enclosed in the first
SIX chapters OF Genesis The rest is
AN UTTER BLANK
so far as history goes and in the way the Bible
takes no note oil monarchs or events not essential to ITS
progress. Jesus told Ills disciples, al have many
things to say TO you but you cannot bear them now. "
For the same reason We may believe that silence OF
the BDie on many subjects rs mercy 10 us VIC know
all We can bear all need The silence OF the Bible
Is wisely intended to rcpress idle curiosity All we
need 70 Know TO be saved and to live for Christ 10 re-

from James, ", 2O:--"He must know that he who

three great truths were recognized in the text First
that the soul of the sinner was exposed TO DEATH
ond the OF the sinner prevented the death

to convert sinners. No matter whether man was

Don't Hack, Hack, Cough, Cough

Cough is symptom by which various
diseased conditions Of the throat, broni-
chal tubes and lungs manifest them
selves. But whether it arises from the
irritation produced in the throat and
larnynx by taking cold from an attack of
Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption,
or from various other causes; nothing
will allay it more speedily or cure it
more permanently than DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does not
matter whether it be recent attack, or
lingering cough, the Discovery is in
either case equally well adapted for its
relief and permanent cure. In fact, it
will cure cough in one-half the time
necessary to cure it with any other medi-
cine, and it does it, not by drying it up,
but by removing the cause, subduing the
irritation, and healing the affected parts.
No time should he lost in commencing
the use of proper medicine for the re-
lief of cough, for unless this course is
pursued, serious and dangerous disease
of the lungs is liable to result. Golden
Medical Discovery is sold by all dealers
in medicines. Ito &w.
