WASHINGTON, D. Gu this discourse
DR.. Talmage would lift people out of de-
spondency and bring something OF future
Joy into earthly depression. The text is
Hebrews vi, 10, Which hope"
There is an Atlantic Ocean Of depth
and fullness in the verse from which
my text is taken, and I only wade into
the wave at the beach and take two
words. We have all ~favorite words eX-
pressiye of delight or adherence, words
that easily find their way from brain
to lip, words that have in them mornings
and midnights, laughter and tears, thun-
derbolts and dewdrops. In all the lexi-
cons and v~ocabularies there are few words
that have for me the attractions 81 the
last word of my text. (Which hope"
There have in the course of our life
been many good angels of Goo that have
looked over our shoulders, or met us on
the road, or ehanted the darkness away,
or lifted the curtains of the great future,
or pulled us back from the p~recipices,
or rolled down upon US the rapturous
music OF the heavens, but there is one OF
these angels that has lone so much for us
that we wish throughout all time and
eternity to celebrate 1.-THE angel Of Hope.
St. Paul makes it the center of a group
of three, saying, Now abideth faith,
hone, charity And, though he says that
charity is the greatest of the three, he
does not take one plume from the wing, or
one ray of luster from the brow, or one
aurora from the cheek, or one melody
from from the voice of the angel OF my
text, Which hope"
That was a great night for our world
when in a Bethlehem ~caravanssry the
Infant Royal was born, and that will
be a great night in the darkness Of your
soul when Christian hope is born. Th%e
