London.
He Takes as His Text I. Cor. vi, 20
"le are Bought With a
Price"


by invitation OF the celebrated divine
Joseph Parker, he was greeted by
tremendous audience.
DR.. Talmage entities his sermon,
"The Immense Cost" from the text,
I, Cor. Vi, 20, eye are bought with
price,
Your friend takes you through his
valuable house. You examine the
arches, the irescoes, the grass-plots,
the tish-ponds, the Conservatives and
the parks OF deer, and you say within
yourself or you say aloud: "What
did all this cost?" You see a costly
diamond flashing in an earring, or
you hear a costly dress rustling across
the drawing room. or you see a high
mettled span OF horses harnessed
with silver and gold, and you begin to
make an estimate OF the value.
The man who owns q large estate
cannot instantly tell you all its worth.
He says: II will estimate SO much for
thehouse, so much for the furniture
somuch for laying out the grounds, so
much for the stock, so much for the
barn-adding up in all making this
aggregate
Well, my friends, hear so much
about our mansion in heaven. about
its furniture and the grand surround
ings, that want to know how much
it is all worth and what has actually
been paid for it. cannot complete in
month nor a year the magnificent
ejaculation, but before l get through
today hope to give you the figures.
I'VE ARE BOUGHT WITH "A PRICE"
With some friends l went to your
tower to look at the crown Jewels.
We walked around, caught one glimpse
OF them, and being in the procession
We're compelled to pass out. I wish
that l could take this audience into
the tower OF God'smercy and strength
that you might walk around just
once, at least, and see the crown
jewels oteternity, behold their brllliance
and estimate their value. ''He are
bought with a price,
Now, ii you have a large amount OF
money to pay, you do not pay it all
at once, but you pay it in installments
so mnch the LIST OF January, so
much the LIST OF April, so much the 1st
OF October, until the entire amount is
paid, and have to tell this audience
that you have been bought with a
price and that that price was paid
in different instalments.
The first installment paid for the
clearance OF our souls was the ignom-
inious birth OF Christ in Bethlehem.
Though we may never be carefully
looked after afterward. our advent in
to the world is carefully guarded. We
come into the world amid kindly at
tentions. Privacy and silence are
afforded when God launches an i'm
mortal soul into the world. Even the
toughest Of men nowenough to stand
back. But have to tell you that in
the village on the side OF the hill there
was a very bedam of uproar when
Jesus was born. In village capable
of accommodating only q few hundred
people, many thousand people were
crowded; and amid hostlers and mule
teers and came-drivers yelling at
stupid beasts OF burden the Messiah
appeared.
- No sILESCE-SO PRIVACY.

down upon straw. The first night out
from tile palace OF heaven spent in
an clubhouse. One hour after laying
aside the robes OF heaven, dressed in
q wrapper OF course linen. One would
have supposed that Christ would
have made more gradual descent,
coming from heaven first to a half

The second iusta!lment paid for our
souls clearance was the scene in
