The subject of DR.. Talmage's sermon
was, Royal Blood" and his text,
Judges viii. ls, Each one reseinbled
the children Of "A king"
Zebah and Zalmunna had been of to
battle, and when they came back they
were asked what kind of people they
had seen. They answered that the
people had royal appearance; each
one resembled the children of king
stand today before many who have
this appearance. Indeed, they are the
sons and daughters of the Lord AL.
mighty. Though now in exile, they
shall vet come to their thrones. There
are family names that stand for wealth
or patriotism or intelligence. The
name Of Washington means patriotism,
although some OF the blood Of that
race has become very thin in the last
generation. Tue family Of the Medici
stood as the representative of letters.
The family of the Rothschilds Is
significant of wealth, the loss Of forty
millions of dollars in lS4S putting them
to no Inconvenience; and within few
years they have loaned Russia twelve
millions Of dollars, Naples twenty five
millions, Austria forty millions and
England two hundred millions; and
the stroke of their pen on the counting
room desk shakes everything from the
Irish sea to the Danube. They open
their hand, and there is war; they shut
1t. and there IL peace. The house OF
Hapsburg In Austria, the house OF
Stuart In England the house OF Bour
bon In France were families of i'm
perial authority.
THE ROYAL HOUSE OF JESUS.
But come to preach of family
more potential, more rich and more ex.
tensive--the royal house of Jesus, OF
whom the whole family in heaven and
on earth is named We are blood rela-
tions by the relationship of the Cross;
all of us are the children Of the King.
First, / speak of our family name.
When we see descendant of some one
greatly celebrated in the last century
we look at him with profound interest
TO have had conquerors, kings or
princes In the ancestral line give luster
to the family name. In our line was
king and conqueror. The Star in
the East with baton of light woke up
the eternal orchestra that made music
at his birth. From thence he started
forth to conquer all nations, not by
trampllng them down, but by lifting
them up. st. John saw him on n white
horse. When he returns he will not
bring the nations chained to his wheel
or In iron cages but hear the stroke
OF the hoofs of the snow white caval-
cade that bring them to the gates in
triumph.
Our family name takes luster from
the star that heralded him, and the
spear that pierced him, and the. crown
that was given him. IL gathers fra
GRANGE from the frankincense brought
TO his cradle, and the Rlies that flung
their sweetness into his sermons, and
the box of alabaster that broke at his
feet The Comforter ut Bethany. The
Resurrector at Main. The supernatural
Oculist at Bethsaida. The Saviour Of
one world, and the Chief Joy of an
other. The storm his frown. The
sunlight his smile. The spring morn
ing his breath The earthquake the
stamp of his foot. The thunder the
whisper OF his voice. The ocean a
drop on the tip Of his finger, Heaven
sparkle on the bosom OF his love.
Eternity the twinkling of his eye, The
universe the flying dust of his chariot
wheels Able 10 heal n heartbreak, or
hush a tempest, or drown n world, or
food lmmenslty with his glory, What
other family name could ever boast Of
such an illustrious personagef
SWING our rIIE COAT or ARMS

of arms on the dress, or on the door OF
the COACH or on the helmet when they
go out 10 battle, or on flags or ensig1s.

or dragon, or an eagle. Our coat OF
