HOI TO MEET JESUS DR. TALMAGE ON THE FAMOUS QUESTION OF PILATE. PUT YOUR TRUST IH CHRIST, It is Not Enough to Sympathize with His Sufferings or to Reverence His Character or Morality He Must Be Taken Into the Heart. LONDON, July 3. Dr.

Talraage continues to receive from all classes of the English people the warmest of welcomes and the heartiest greetings. The work of arranging his tour has been exceedingly difficult. Bo numerous were the Invitations awaiting him that to accept some and decline others equally pressing seemed invidious. Wherever be has gone the largest churches in 1 the cities have been crowded to excess and could have been filled many times over. Among the sermons he has preached the one selected for publication this week is from the text, Matthew xxvii, 22, "What shall I do with Jesus?" Pilate was an unprincipled politician.

I He had sympathies, convictions of right and desires to be honest; but all these 1 were submerged by a wish to be popular and to please the people. Two distin yuished prisoners were in the grasp of government, and the proposition was made to free one of them. There stands Barabbas, the murderer; there stands Christ, the Saviour of the world. At the demand of the people the renegade is set tree, but Jesus is held. As the hard vis qged and cruel eyed Earabbas goes among his sympathizers, receiving their coarse congratulations, Pilate turns to his other distinguished prisoner mild, meek, inof ensive, loving, self sacrificing and he is confounded as to what course he had better take, so he impanels the mob as a jnry to decide, saying to them, "What shall I do, then, with Jesus?" Oh, it is no driad or withered question, but one that throbs with warm and quick Ytiilsa in npiirfc nf ovtirxr man and arnm fc an here.

We must do something witn. Jesus. He is here. You and I are not so I certainly here as he is, for he fills all this place the loving, living, dying Christ and each one of us will have to ask and answer for himself the question, "What shall I do, then, with Jesus?" Well, my iriends, there are three or four things you can do with him. THE CONTEMPTUOUS WAT.

You can, in the first place, let him stand without a word of recognition; but I do Hot think your sense of common courtesy will allow that. He comes walking on such a long journey, you will certainly give him a chair on which he may sit. He 3s so weary, you would not let him stand without some recognition. If a beggar comes to your door, you recognize him and fcay, "What do you want?" If you meet a stranger faint in the street, you say, "What is the matter with you?" and your common humanity, and your common sympathy, and your common sense of propriety will not allow you to let him stand without recognition the wounded one of the hills. You will ask, What makes him weep? where was he hurt? who wounded him? whence came he? whither goes he? 1 know there have been men who have with outrageous indifference hated Christ, but I know very well that that is not what you will do with Jesus.

Another thing you can do with him you can tnrust aim bade from your neart and tell him to stand aside. If an inoffensive person comes and persists in standing close up to you, and you have in Tarious ways given him to understand that yon do not want his presence or his society. then you ask the reason of his impertinence and bid him away. Well, that is what we can do with Jesus. He has stood close by us a great while ten, twenty, thirty, forty years.

He has Btood close by you three times a dav. breaking bread for your household, all night watching by your pillow. He has been in the nursery among your children; he has been in the store among your goods; he has been in the factory amid the flying wheels, and now if you do not like his society you can bid him away; aye, if he will not go you can take him by the throat and tell him you do not want his interference; that you do not want his breath on your cheek; that you do not want his eye on your behavior. You can bid him away, or if he "will not go in that way, then you can stamp your foot, as you would at a dog, and cry "Begone!" Yet I know you will not treat Jesus that way. When Pilate could not do that, you could not.

Desperadoes and outlaws might do so, but I know that that is not the way you will treat him, that that is not what you will do with Jesus. There is another thing you can do with him you can look on him merely as an optician to cure blind eyes, or an aurist to tune deaf ears, a friend, a good friend, a helpful companion, a cheerful passenger on ship jboard; but that will amount to nothing. can look upon him as a God and be abashed while he rouses the storm, or blasts a fig tree, or heaves a rock down the mountain side. That will not do you any good; no more save your soul than the admiration you have for John Milton or William Shakespeare. I can think of only one more thing you can do with Jesus, and that is to take him into your hearts.

That is the best thing you can do with him; that is the only safe thing you can do with him, and may the Lord omnipotent by his spirit help me to persuade you to do, that. A minister of Christ was speaking to some children and said, "I will point you to Christ." A little child rose in the audience and came up and put her hand in the hand of the pastor and said: "Please, sir, take me to Jesus now. I want to go now." Oh, that it might be now with such simplicity of experience that you and I join hands and seek after Christ and get an expression of his benefaction and his mercyl THE TRUSTING WAY. You may take Christ into your confidence. If you cannot trust him, whom can you trust I do not offer you a dry, theological technicality.

I simply ask you to come and put both feet on the "Rock of Ages." Take hold of Christ's hands and draw him to your soul with perfect abandonment and hurl yourself into the deep sea of his mercy. He comes and says, "I will save you." If you do not think he is a hypocrite and a liar when he says that, believe him and say: "Lord Jesus, I believe; here is my heart. Wash it. Save it. Do it now.

Aye, it is done; for I obey thy promise and come. I can do no more. That is all thou hast asked. I come. Christ is mine.

Pardon is mine. Heaven is mine." Why, my friends, you put more trust in everybody than you do in Christ, and in everything; more trust in the bridge cross I lng the stream, in the ladder up to the loft; rnpre trust in the stove that confines the fire; nioro trust in the cook that prepares your food; more trust in tho clerk that writes your books, in the druggist 'that makes the medicine, in the bargain maker with whom you trade; more trust in all these things, than in Christ, although he stands this moment offering without limit, and without mistake, and without exception, universal pardon to all who Want it. Now. is not; that cheap enough all things for nothingf This is the whole of the Gospel as I understand It that if you believe that Christ died to save you you are saved; When? WOW, Ha. more, jloabt il it than.

thai. you sit there. No more doubt about it than that you have a right hand. No more uoubt about it than that there is a God. If you had committed five hundred thou sand transgressions Christ would forgive you just as freely as if you had never committed but one; though you had gone through th whole catalogue of crimes arson and blasphemy and murder Christ would pardon you just as freely, you com ing to him, as though you had committed only the slightest sin of the tongue.

Why, when Christ comes to pardon a soul he stops for nothing. Height is nothing. Depth is nothing. Enormity is nothing. Protractedness is nothing.

O'er sins like mountains for their size. The seas of sovereign grace expand, The seas of sovereign grace arise. Lord Jesus, I give up all other props, give up all other expectations. Ruined and undone, I lay hold thee. I plead thy promises.

I fly to thy arms. "Lord save me; I perish." When the Christian com mission went into the army during the war there were a great multitude of hun gry men and only a few loaves of bread, and the delegate of the commission was cutting the bread and giving it out to wounded and dying men. Some one came up and said, "Cut those slices thinner or there will not be enough to go around." And then the delegate cut the slices very turn and handed the bread around until they all had some, but not much. But, blessed be God, there is no need of economy in this Gospel. Bread for all; bread enough and to spare.

Why perish with hunger? THE LOVING WAT. Again, I advise you, as one of the best things you can do with Christ, to take him into your love. Now there are two things which make us love any one inherent at tractiveness and then what he does in the way of kindness toward us. Now Christ is In both these positions. Inherent attract iveness fairer than the children of men, the luster of the morning in his eye, the glow of the setting sun in his cheek, myrrh and frankincense in the breath of his lip.

In a heaven of holy beings, the best. In a heaven of mighty ones, the strongest. In a heaven of great hearts, the tenderest and the most sympathetic. Wrhy, sculpture has never yet been able to chisel his form, nor painting to present the flush of his cheek, nor music to strike his charms; and the greatest surprise of eternity will be the first moment when we rush into his presence and with uplifted hands and streaming eyes and heart bounding with rapture, we cry out, "This is Jesus!" All over glorious is my Lord, He must be loved and yet adored; His worth. If all the nations knew, Sure, tho whole earth would love him too.

Has he not done enough to win our affec tions? Peter the Great, laying aside royal authority, went down among the ship carpenters to help them, but Russia got the chief advantage of that condescension. John Howard turned his back upon the refinements and went around prisons to spy out their sorrows and relieve their wrongs, but English criminals got the chief advantage of that ministry. But when Christ comes, it is for you and me. The sacrifice for yon and me. The tears for you and me.

The crucifixion for you and me. If I were hopelessly in debt, and some one came and paid my debts and gave me a receipt in full, and called off the pack of hounding creditors, if I were on a foundering ship, and you came in a lifeboat and took me off, could I ever forget your kind ness? Would I ever allow an opportunity to pass without rendering you a service or attesting my gratitude and love? Oh, how ought we to feel toward Christ, who plunged into the depth of our sin and plucked us out! Ought it not to set the very best emotions of our heart into the warmest aye, a red hot glow? The story is so old that people almost get asleep while they are hearing it. And yet there he hangs Jesus the man, Jesus the God. Was there anything before or since, anything to be compared to this spectacle of generosity and woe? Did heartstrings ever snap with a worse torture? Were tears ever charged with a heavier grief? Did blood ever gush, in each globule the price of a soul? The wave of earthly malice dashed its bloody foam against one foot, the wave of infernal malice dashed against his other foot, while the storm of God's wrath against sin beat on his thorn pierced brow, and all the hosts of darkness with gleaming lances rampaged through his holy soul. THE INFINITE SACRIFICE.

Oh, see the dethronement of heaven's king! the conqueror fallen from the white horse! the massacre of a God! Weep, ye who have tears, over the loneliness of his exile and the horrors of his darkness. Christ sacrificed on the funeral pyre of a world's transgression; the good for the bud, the great for the mean; the infinite for the finite, tho God for the man. Oh, if there be in all this audience one person untouched by this story of the Saviour's love, show me where he is, that I may mark tho monster of Ingratitude and of crime. If you could see Christ as he is you would rise from your seat and fling yourselves down at his feet, crying, "My Lord, wiy my love, my joy, my peace, my strength, my expectation, my heaven, my all! Jesusl Jesus!" Oh, can you not love him? Do you want more of his tears? Why, he has shed them all for you. He has no more.

Do you want more of his blood? His arteries were emptied dry, and the iron hand of agony could press out nothing more. Would you put him to worse excruciation? Thendiive another nail into his hand, and plunge another spear into his side, and twist another thorn into his crown, and lash him with another flame of infernal torture. "No," says some one; "stop! stop! he shall not be smitten again. Knough the tears. Enough the blood.

Enough the torture. Enough the agony." "Enough," cries earth. "Enough," cries heaven. Ave. "Enough," cries hell.

At last enough. Oh, look at him, thy butchered Lord, Unshrouded and ghastly as they flung him from the tree, his wounds gaping for a bandage. Are there no hands to close these eyes? Then let the sun go out and there be midnight. Howl, ye winds, and howl, ye seas, for your Lord is deadl Oh, what more could he have done for you and for me than he has done? Could ho pay a bigger price? Could he drink a more bitter cup? Could he plunge into a worse catastrophe? And can you not love him? Groan again, 0 blessed Jesus, that they may feel thy sacrifice! Groan again. Put the four fingers and the thumb of thy wounded hand upon them that the gash.

in the palm may strike their soul and thy warm lire may bleed into them. Gman again, Jesus, uud see if they will not feel. Oh, what will you do with such a Christ as that? You have got to do something with him this morning. What will you do with Jesus? Will you slay him again by your sin? Will you spit upon him again? Will you crucify him again What will you do with him who has loved you with more than a brother's love, more than a father's love. vea.

more then a mother's love, through all these years? Oh, Is It not enough to make the hard heart of the rock break? Jesusl Jesusl What shall we do with thee? I have to say that the question will after awhile change, and it will not be what Shall we do with Christ, but what will Christ do with us? Ring all the bells of eternity at the burning of a world. In that day what do you think Christ will do with us? Why, Christ will say: "There is that man whom I called. There Is that woman whose soul I Importuned. But they would not any of my ways. I gave them innumerable opportunities of salvation.

They rejected tbem all. Depart, I Beyer knew you." Blessed be Gothat THE SCBAXTOX REPUBLICAN, MONDAY MORNING JULY 4, 1892. day has not come. Halt, ye destinies of eternity, and give ns one more chance. One more chance, and this is it.

Some travelers in the wilderness of Australia a few years ago found the skeleton of a man and some of his garments, and rusty kettle on which the man had written or scratched with his finger nail these words: God, I am dying of thirst. My bram is on fire. My tongue is hot. God help me in the wilderness." Oh, how sug gestive of the condition of those who die in the wilderness of sin through thirst. We take hold of them today.

We try to bring the cool water of the rock to their lips. We say, "Ho, every one that thirstethl" God, thy Father, awaits thee. Ministering spirits who watch the ways or tne soul bend now this moment over this immortal auditory to see what we will do with Jesus. CUTTING PASSENGER RATES A S19 Bound Trip Kate From Chicago to lSoston and Retnrn. Chicago, July 3.

Passenger rate reduc tions are coming so fast that it is difficult to keep track of them. It is possible now to travel in both directions between nearly all important stations from Portland and San Francisco, in the West, to New York and Boston in the East, for half rates or less. For the extreme distances and from St. Paul and Chicago to the East, $2 less than half rates nnnly. The same olds good lor cen tral Ohio points.

Nearly all other points quote half rates. In nearly every point these tickets are good both ways until September 15, are transferable and permit of stop overs, practically at will. There has been no such complete demoralization in railroad history. Full fare traffic, except to local points is at an end. Boston was the bone of contention yester day, the Erie and Wabash both making 19 round trip rates troin Chicago, oucn tick ets put the passenger within easy reach of all eastern resorts, and will take the place ot lull tare tickets to tne army wmcn an nually snend a month at the seashore, Everv reduction is traceable directly to the mint for Christian Endeavor business.

At least rour ot tne strongest lines in tne Western Traffic Association have concluded a change must be made. The pool works tairly well tor the members, out non inein uers are reaping a narvest ironi tne mem bers maintaining rates, and depending on the pool for tneir share or tne Dusmess. These non members cover all association territory nearly as well as members, and are doing a better business at cut rates than ever belore. TROUBLE IN TEXAS. Fatal Eugageinent Between Texas Kan gers and Mexican Desperadoes.

San Antonio, July 3. The portion of Texas known as the "Bloody Peninsula" is once more in a very troubled condition, Just across the shallow stream is the most turbulent section of the Mexican Republic, infested bv the worst type of desperadoes. It has been the custom ot these people to raid the Texas side whenever they need money or meat. Last Tuesday three Texas Hangers who were scouting along tne Texas side or tne river captured a robber named Desidario Duran. They were attacked by four heavily armed Mexicans, led by the noted Floren cio Carrasco.

In tho fight Carrasco was shot through the heart, and his companions fled. A ranchman of Texas named James Windham, whose brother was then on the Mexican side, crossed over to notify him before tho news of the killing spread. He was arrested by the Mexicans, and he and his brother placed in a dungeon at Presidio qoi JNotre. Secretary of State Foster will be appealed to immediately. The ranchmen of the moody t'emnsula" are organizing ami un less the American State Department takes prompt action they will endeavor to cap ture tne jaii at Presidio del Norte aud res cue the Windham brothers.

Laredo werejarousedby a fusilade of shots fired from the river and an investigation disclosed the fact that Mexican soldiers wero firing at two of their number who had deserted and were coming to this side. A large crowd gathered at the river bank.

Both the deserters got across, one of thorn, however, with a slight wound in the neck The firing was very wild and many of the bullets came across the river aud struck houses in this city. One passed through the side of a house and narrowly missed wounding a young lady. Indignation is expressed at such carelessness kon the part of the Mexican soldiers. THE EXPRESS ROBBER.

Ry. an, the United States Express robber, arrived here this morning from Denver, in charge of Chief Detective Byrne, and Manager Topping of tho United States Express Company, to claim the stolen money deposited in the vaults of the Safo Deposity Company in this city. Ryan was locked up in the Central station, where he will remain until Tuesday, the vaults being closed tomorrow.

He says the package in the vault contains nearly $42,000, which, with the money already recovered, will make up the $45,000 stolen, all but $127. He will then be taken to Washington for trial and will plead guilty to grand larceny. It is understood that the return of the money will satisfy the express people and that they will not push the case against Ryan. Four Young Men Drowned. Baltimore, July 3.

Edward and George Schmidt, aged respectively 15 and 11 years; William Harrison, aged 17 years, and Peter Leo Tilly, aged 20 years, were drowned this afternoon by the swamping of a ferry boat in the Spring Gardens off the foot of Hanover street. LIVELY WORK AHEAD. FORECAST OF PROCEEDINGS FOR THE WEEK. Work in the Senate Will be of a Routine Character Silver and Tariff Matters Will Consume the Attention of the House. Washington, D.

July 3. There is lively work ahead for Congress this week. The routine that must be disposed of is important and interesting enough in itself, but impending over all is the shadow of that liveliest of corpses, the Silver Bill, which will not stay buried but turns up in new guise at this busy moment in Congress to destroy the calculations of the political leaders and disturb the peace of mind of members who felt sure they had succeeded in avoiding an open expression of 'opinion and a direct vote on an embarrassing question. In the Senate the proceedings promise to be largely of a routine character and will concern the appropriation bills principally. Only one of these bills the Agricultural has finally passed both houses and the others are in conference.

Ordinarily this would be considered a very satisfactory state of affairs, but in the present case the difference between the two houses are extreme and the spirit of obstinacy which has been exhibited on both sides, threatens to defer indefinitely final action upon the remaining appropriation bills. Probably the most of the time of the Senate during the week will be given up to the consideration of conference reports interspersed with some calendar business and some discussion and possibly action on the silk culture bill which is the subject of a special order. lhe glorious lourth, unfortunately this year falls upon suspension day and in deference to universal patriotism, the House declines to meet. But not to surrender disadvantages which may be derived by the House under it rules, the Committee on Kules will report a resolution designating Wednesday or Thursday as suspension day. Whether this resolution will be adopted is doubtful It being an open secret that the Democrats intend to Pass tne tin plate and other Tariff bills, under suspension.

The Republicans, with their steadfast purpose to defeat those measures will resort to filibustering to defeat the making of such an order. If either side yields, the remainder of the week will be consumed in the consideration of conference reports; that is, if no report is made by the Coinage Committee on the Senate Free Silver Coinage bill. If that report is made, the Rules Committee will be requested to bring in a special order for the immediate consideration of the bill and will do so if a majority of the Democratic members sign the request. What will follow is problematical aud the only prediction that con be made is that there will be one of the most animated contests that the session has witnessed. THE WRECKED STEAMER Is Unsafe for the Crew to Remain on Hoard.

London, July 3. The Liverpool underwriters have dispatched their biggest wreck ing vessel to Kinsale to aid the Inman Line steamer City of Chicago, which went ashore near the old head of Kinsale on Friday night.

Boston, July 3. Senator John Sherman of Ohio arrived in Boston on the Baltimore steamer Dorchester. He was accompanied by his private Secretary. Senator Sherman says the sole object of his visit is rest. In an interview today Senator Sherman said that he was not conversant with the latest turn which affairs have taken at Washington, having been several days absent from the Capital.

The Senate, ho said, has passed the Sdver bill by a majority of four, which was the exact strength of the silver contingent, as it had been previously rated. "The votes of two men," said the Senator, "I am surprised at and those are Mr. Cameron of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Hill of New York, both States are dead against free silver, and it seems to me a dangerous vote for those who represent those States." "Do you think the silver plank of the Democratic platform will injure the party's ticket in the South?" "No, I do not. The South is too solidly Democratic.

They will stick to their party. They are Democratic merely from issues growing out of the war. They will shout against the Force bill, so called, and endeavor to cheat the negro (and the Republican whites in some cases) out of the right of suffrage at the same time that they count them in.to increase their power."
