hiiu.
Go to that widowed soul and tell her
1t was q geological necessity that her
companion should DO taken away from
her, just as in the course Of the worlds
history the megatherium had to pass out
of existence. and then you go on in your
scientific consolation Until you get 10 the
sublime fact that 50,O0O,O00 years from
now We ourselves may be scientific spec
linens on geological shelf, petrified
specimens of an extinct human race.
And after you have got all through
with your consolation, if the poor afflict-
ed soul is not crazed by it, i will send
forth from this church the plainest
Christian we have, and with one half
hour of prayer and reading of Scripture
promises the tears will be wiped away,
and tho house from floor to cupola will
be flooded with the calmness Of an In
dian summer sunset. There is where
see the triumph Of Christianity. Peo-
pie are dissatisfied with everything else
They want God. They want Jesus Christ
Talk about the exact sciences. There
Is only one exact science. tits not math-
ematics. Taylor's logarithms have many
imperfections. The French metric sys-
tenn has many imperfectiohs. The only
exact science is Christianity-the only
thing under which you can appropriately
write, "Quod erat demonstrandum." You
tell me that two and two make four.
I do not dispute it, but it is not SO plain
that two and two make four as that the
Lord God Almighty made this world
and for man, the sinner, he sent his only
begotten Son to die.
put on the witness stand to testify
In behalf of Christianity the church
on earth and all the church in heaven
Not so, not thousand, not million,
but all of the church on earth and all
the redeemed In heaven.
QUESTION OF TESTIMONY.
You tell me James A. Garfield was in
augurated president of the United States
on the 4th of March, 1881. How do !
know itp You tell me there were 10000
persons who distinctly heard his inau-
gural address. deny both. deny that
he was inaugurated. deny that his in
augural address was delivered. You
ask why. Ibid not see it; did not hear
1t. But you say that there were 20, 900
persons who did see and hear him. say
cannot take it anyhow. / did not see
and hear him. Whose testimony will
you take? You will nk take my testi-
mony. You say: You know nothing
about it; you were not there. Let us
have the testimony of the 10000 persons
who stood before the capitol and heard
that magnificent inaugural" Why, of
course that is as your common sense die
tates.
Now. here are some men who say they
have never seen Christ crowned in tle
heart, and they do not believe it is ever
done. There is group of men who say
they have never heard the voice Of
Christ; they have never heard the voice
of God They do not believe it ever
transpired or was ever heard-that any
thing like it ever occurred. point to 20,
100000 or 100000 people who say,
Christ was crowned in our hearts af.
fections; we have seen him and felt him
in our soul, and we have heard his voice;
we have heard it in storm and darkness;
we have heard it again and again.
Whose testimony will you take! Thess
men, who say they have not heard the
voice of Christ, have not seen the corona
bon. or will you tak the thousands and
millions of Christians who testify OF
what they saw with their own eyes and
