Rev. T. Dewitt Talmagc, the grca'

in Europe. The first Sunday after hi,
arrival IN London he was greeted with
nj immense congregation and by invita-
ton Of Rev. Joseph Barker preached In
his temple upon the subject. Tho I'm

inthians, vi, 90: "Yc are bought with
price" DR.. Talmagc said:
Your friend takes you through his
valuable house. You examine the
arches, the frcscoes, the grass plots, the
fish ponds, the c~onservatories, the parks
of deer, and you say within yourself or
you say aloud: "What did all this
cost9" You see n costly diamond fash
ing In an earring or you hear q costly
dress rVtstling across the drawing room,
or you see n high mcttlcd span of horses
harnessed with silver and gold, and
you begin TO make an estimate of the
value.
The mar who owns n large estate
cannot instantly tell you all II Is worth.
He says: " will estimate 80 much for
the house, 40 much for the furniture, 30
much for laying out the grounds, 40
much for the stock, 80 much for the
barn, 80 much for the equipagc-adding

Well, my friends, ! hear so much
about our mansion In Heaven, about its
furniture and the grand surroundings,
that I want 70 know how much II Is al

nor n year the magnificent calculation,
but before I get through to-day I hope

their value. "Yc are bought with q
price,"
Now n you have n large amount Of
money to pay, you do not pny II all Mt
once, but you pay II by installmcnts-so
much the first Of january, 40 much the
first OF April, 40 much the first Of July,
so much the first Of October, until the
entire amount In paid, and I have to
tell this audience that ''you have been
bought with u price," and that that
price was paid in different installments.
The first installment paid for the
clearance Of our souls was the igno-
minious birth Of Christ in Bethlehem.
Though we may be carefully
looked after afterward, our advent into
the world Ia carefully guarded. We

born. In o village capable OF accom-.
