Magnificent Discourse to Fl teen

LaNDoN. ENeLAND, July IL Or.
Talmags's preaching tour in England
has been continued series OF Onprece-
denied successes The English people
have assembled by thouSandStO hear
the American preacher wherever he has
preached. In Manchester the great
Free Trade Hall was engaged for him.
Tic holds seven thousand persons, but 10
would not contain a third of the people
who tried 20 set in. The streets lead
iug 20 the hall were iammed with
dense surging mass of humanity. After
the service Dr. Talmage preached 10
the street % the crowd, which number
ed fully fifteen thousand. The sermon
selected for this week is entitled: "Our
Possessions, from i. Corinthians 3:22;
"All are yours"
The impression is abroad that relig-
ion put a man on short allowance; that
when the ship sailing he0yenward comes
10 the shining wharf, 10 will be found
out that oil the passengers had the hard
est kind of sea-iare that the soldiers IN
ChrisJs army march most or the time
with an empty hayerSack; in word,
that only those people have good time
in this world who take upon themselves
n religious obligation.
j want to-day TO find out whether this
is so, and am going TO take account OF
stock: / ann going 20 show what are the
Christians liabilities, and what is his
income, and what are his warrantee
deeds, and what are his bonds and mort
cages, aud I shall find out before l I'm

sheet In time 20 warn you all against
the religion OF Jesus Christ, II, indeed,

TO accept il. If indeed it be success.
turn first 20 the assets, and lind
there what seems to be a roll OF govern
ment SecuritieS-the empire Of Heaven
promising all things 10 the pOSSesSOr.
The three small words Of my text are
a warrantee deed 20 the whole universe
when lt SAYS
GALL ARE YOURS"
I'm making an inventory OF the Chris
tian'S possessions, / remark, In the first
place, that be owns this world. My
text implies 10, and the preceding verse
asserts it-'whether Paul, or ApolloS,
or CeLhas, or the world. Now 10
would be an absurd thing to suppose
that God would give 20 strangers priyi-
leges and advantages which he would
deny his own children. IL you have a
large park, a grand mansion, beautiful
fountains, stalking deer and statuary,
10 whom will you give the first right 70
all these possessions To outsiders?
No, 20 your own children. You will say,
at will be very we'll for outsiders TO
come in and walk these paths and enjoy
this landscape; but the first right 20 my
house, and the first right TO my statuary,
the first right TO my gardens, shall be
i'm the possession OF any own children. ~
Now this world Is Gods park, and
while he allows those who are not his
children and who refuse his authority
the privilege of walking through the
gardens, the possession of all this grand
eur of park aud mansions is In the right
Of the Christiau-the lowers, the dla-
monds, the silver, the gold, the morn
ing brightness, aud the evening shadow.
The Christian may not have the title
deed to one acre OF land as recorded in
the clerks Office, he may never have
paid one dollar OF taxes; but be can 90
up on mountain and look of upon
hfty miles Of grain field and say, "All
is mine; my father gave 10 10 me-" "All
are yours.
A lawyer is sometimes required to
search titles, and the client who thinks
he has a good rightto an estate puts the
papers I'M his hands, and the lawyer
goes into the public records, and finds
everything for three or four or I'VE
years back; but after a while he comes
to break in the title, 20 a deficit, 20 a
diversion of the property; so he finds
out that the man who supposed be
owned 10 owns not single acre Of the
ground. while somebody else has the
full right 10 the entire estate. Now, /
examine the title 20 all earthly posses
sions ! go back a little way, and l find
that men of the wOrld-bad men, selfish
men, wicked men--think they have
right 90 an these possessions; but / go
further back, and / trace the title from
year 20 year, and from century TO CEN
Jury, until ! find the whole right vested
in God. Now, 10 whom did he give il?
TO his own children.
GAIL AEE YOURS"
The simple fact is, that in the last
days OF the world all the architecture,
all the cities, all the mountains, all the
villages will be In the possession Of the
Church of Christ. 1.-The meek shall in
herit the earth" Ships Of Tarnish
shall bring presents. 1.-The earth is the
Lords and the fulneSs thereof "At
are yours" "But, you say, what
satisfaction is there in that when 1
haven't possession Of them|' These
things viii come before the Supreme
Judge Of the Universe, and he will reg
ulate the title. and he will eject these
squatters upon the property that does
not belong 70 them, and 10 shall be
found that 'All are yours"
SO again, the reEuementS Of life are
the Christians right. he has right 20
as good apparel, 10 as beautiful adorn-
meuts, to as cOmm0diOuS 4 residence as
the wording. Show me any passage in
the Bible that tells any people in the
world thoy> have privileges, they have
lgiitterlng spheres, they have betting
apparel that are denied the Christian.
There is no one who has so much
right % laugh, none 50 much right 70
everything that is beautiful ana grand
and sublime Ia life as the Christian.
Gall are yours" Can II be possible
that one who is reckless aud sinful, and
has no treasures laid up in heaven, is TO
be allowed pleasures which the sons
and daughters OF God, the owners Of
the whole universe, are denied2
so I REMARK THAT
all the sweet sounds Of the world are in
