1t is a good thing for young minister
to have definite ideas as to what he is set
to do, and go directly and vigorously
about doing it.
The Christian Union, referring to
the Des Moines meetings, remarks that
"the hereto and the defender of the
faith shook hands cordially when all YVES
over" But it leaves to inference the
determination of the question, who was
hereto and who defender of the faith.
and we know that the AdUdnce and the
Congregdtiondlist are eaten upwith zeal
in behalf of sound doctrine. Who were
the heretics at Des Moines? However, it
is pleasant fact and we take sincere sat-
isfaction in recording it, that the con-
tending parties we're able to conduct the
debate with courtesy and to shake hands
cordially afterward.
1t puts any man, however wise, to
severe strain to have his deliverancee Oh

the leading newspapers. East and West.
This is what newspaper syndicate is
now doing with the sermons of DR.. Tel
mage. After standing up before the great
congregation in his own tabernacle he
must stand up before multitude that |
no man can number in every part of the |
country. 1t is a compliment to DR.. Tai
mage that he should be selected by the |
newspapers to preach to their readers.
But the experiment proves once more
that ordinary ideas are not made extraor-
binary by diffusion.
Lest we be entirely misapprehended
We hasten to say that we do not deny to
DIR. Talmage the possession of unusual
power as preacher. He is a perennial
sensation. But the qualities that give
him his unique prominence in the pulpit
are not such as make him either ma
tional educator or prophet. Indeed,
most Of his tracy" remarks, that tickle
and Jingle so while he talks, are better
to undermine confidence in the
preachers judgment than to excite re-
spect for his insight. DR.. Talmage, more
than any other preacher Of celebrity we
remember, belongs to the fashion of the
world that passeth away.

"THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED. +"

The disciples did not believe the story of
Mary Magdalene and the other women to
whom JESUS had appeared. They must see
him themselves before they could believe
that he was indeed risen from the dead.
Peter and John, at least had seen the empty
tomb and abandoned grave clothes, and knew
that the body of JESUS was no longer there,
but only wondered at what had occurred.
What theories they formed concerning the
matter, other than that the body had been
mysteriously taken away, to where they knew
not, we have no means of knowing. That
they seriously discussed the subject of the
open tomb and the reports of those who had
visited it, as they met each other, AMI we're
together on that eventful day, we may be
sure.
For some purpose the disciples assembled
on the evening of Resurrection Day. The
meeting was held secretly for fear of the
Jews. More than the Apostles " ere present,
as is clear from the account in Luke's Cos
pei (xxiv. 33), The disciples may have had
a place of general meeting for friendly
intercourse during the Passover week. This
meeting, at least, must have been known to
the disciples generally, for the t,Oo from EN-
maus, seven or eight miles distant to whom
JESUS had manifested himself, went to the
place of meeting to repeat their joyful expe-
riences. Whatever else may have claimed
consideration, it is plain that the reappear-
ance of JESUS was the chief topic of interest,
and that the reports that he was risen and
had been seen were no longer idle tales. He
had appeared to Simon (Peter) and was in
deed risen (Luke xiv. 80, was the conclu-
sion of at least a part of the assembly. The
two from Emmaus told how he had walked
and talked with them unrecognized, how he
had unfolded to them the Scriptures con-
corning the glory of the MESSIAH through
suffering and death, how he had eaten with
them, and was recognized by them, and then
vanished out of their sight" While they
were telling their story to the amazed com
pany, who were no doubt listening with in.
tense and wonderful interest, JESUS appeared
in the midst of them. That he should enter
the room unnotieed by those within need moi
| appear strange when we consider the eircum
stances of the occasion, that the two from Em,
maus had entered and were telling their won
derful story, and that the doors were CLOSED
or guarded, probably only against the Off
GERS of the temple whom the disciples feared
might seek to arrest them. That they were

Thou blasphemest,' because said / am thu
Son of GoD?" John K. 35, 36). Observe, he
disclaims the name of COP. We cannot at
tribute cowardly policy toward him. Though
some things were not revealed, because the
disciples were not able to bear them, that is,
to comprehend them, it is not conceivable
that JEsUs would "palter in a double sense, y
in what he did say. He did in fact refuse
the imputation of Deity, claiming to be the
Son of GOD.
1t may be a natural inference that Thomas
recognized not only his risen Lord, the Friend
and Master whom he had loved, and in whose
revival from death he had refused to believe
upon historical testimony, but also the power
of Con manifested in that revival. He was
not affirming that JESUS was GoD, but that
he lived by the power of Cop, and GoD was
in him. 1t was not Deity that he saw but
Divinity. We too may behold the divine
image and spirit reflected in his matchless
personality revealed in the Gospels; and as
we read the story of that wonderful life, and
consider the marvellous power it has welded
these eighteen centuries and more, we may
exclaim as Thomas did, "Our Lord and our
Godr' We may behold ''the glory of GoD in
the face of JESUS CHRIST, who is the image
of the Invisible" But the brightness of the
Image is the splendid Orb whose beam it re-
fleets. Grander than the love of the Son is
the affection of the Father. His Father is
our Father, his COP our GOD. JESUS was not
COP truly, but the Divine Man. He is wor-
thy of our reverence, as of our love and obe-
dience. When we crown JESUS Lord of all, it
is as his Fathers Vicegerent, who, subduing
the world in the power of love shall present
it pure and spotless to the Father, who then
shall be All in all.
JESUS said to Thomas, "Because thou hest
seen me thou hast believed; blessed are they
that have not seen and yet have believed"
The special benediction rests upon those who
without sensuous evidence, believe in spirit
ual things. We cannot put our fingers into
the print of the nails, or thrust our hand into
the wounded side. We cannot recognize
JESUS by the mortal form he wore; that long
ago dissolved. But blessed are we, if not
having seen him we love him Il Peter i. 81.
Blessed are we, if we can believe in immor-
tally, without demanding proofs of it of
which it is not capable. Blessed are we, if
rising from our consciousness of being we
can apprehend immortal being. Blessed are
we, if by our purity of heart we see COP.
Blessed are we, if we can accept JESUS as our
personal friend and Saviour, and recognize
his presence by the peace and joy which fills
the soul through practical love and faith.

editorial Secrets.
BY REV. I. M. ATWOOD, D. D.
Canton, N. Y.

IF the effect of Alfred Ayers's sharp
criticism of DR.. d. j. Hills work on
rhetoric should be to deter some other
gentlemen from becoming authors of
works on rhetoric, at least one desirable
result will have been secured. Some of
Mr.. Ayers's criticism is hypercriticism of
the most palpable sort; but we witness
the assault on this class of literary adj
venturers with serenity if not with posi-
tive approval. The exigencies OF a pub
Usher call for Series of text books,
and some professor or other is induced to
write them to order. Rhetoric in part c.
ular has been the theater of great num-
Der OF brilliant failures.
"A writer in the WdtchDsan is at con-
siderable pains to show, by arranging the
passages in parallel columns, that the
revisers have not, as Puck said, abolished
he'll" He shows that enough of it is
retained in the revised Bible to make it
dangerous for pert photographers to
speak lightly of Pluto's dark domain.
All the same We suspect that Mr.. Foote
will find that the old idea of hell, like it's
kindred idea of personal devil, is de-
parting from the belief of the Christian
people of this land and age. He ap-
pears to think it lamentable degenera-
ton; we look upon it as proof that human
progress is not delusion.
Cardinal Gibbons maintains at once
his self-respect and his official character,
in answering the Independents inquiry
as to what he thinks of the movement in
the Anglican Church for the Reunion
of Christendom,' in the tone and phrase
of loyal son of the Roman church.
The requisites of the union of christen.
dom are found in the Roman Catholic
church; they are not to be found else
where. "In separation from the See of st
Peter, the center of Catholic unity, can
see only discord."
There is no palaver in the cardinals
letter. He does not cloak nor dissemble
He tells all outsiders, Anglican as much
as Quaker, that they are merely playing
church. 1t may be amusing to them but
it is both ludicrous and perilous. If they
want union let them "come home" to the
bosom of the only real church that exists
We like that. If we are to have assump
ton and impertinenee let us have it il
the large and lurdly fashion of the churct
of Rome. The apings and travesties o
Rome we encounter here and there in SO
called Protestant communions, are, like
the footman's imitation of the squire, ri
dicuions only.
