Deems of "The Church of the Strangers" New York aty and one of the orators of Unveiling Day would preach at the pavilion In the City Cemetery drew there this morn int an audience of over 8000 people rep resenting church and colored In MoOkinsville A large number of per son' can in from the surrounding coon try Father Thomas Bettomly and Rev Mr Lewis of the Methodist Church and RST Mr Biddle of the Cumberland Presbyterbut Church together with members of the earl ous churches In the city and a number of leading citizens and visitors from a diatance Occupied the platform Dr Deems who was 'already well intro cluced to the congregation by his admirable address at the unveiling too his text from Revelations 9 and proceeded to preach without notes in I forcible animated and impressive manner The following hasty sketch gives a mere hint of the line of thought followed: 2 An eminent Knglish clergyman had said of the Book of Revelations that whoever studied it was either a madman when he took it up or after he laid it aside The exit Mem was one of some wit but ne wisdom at all The reason why men found trouble In studying not only this but other portions of the Scriptures was because they first framed some hypothesis or theory and the went to Revelations to prove that aortal mystic symbols meant Bonaparte or the United States or the Confederacy Ilea presumptiously framed narrow systems of theology and afterward tried to establiA them by disjointed and fragmentary verses Man cannot devise a plan of theology large I enough to oomprehend all the thoughts of an omniscient God Neither could we frame a scheme of natural science large enough to comprehend all nature The Bible is too gnat for man's theology and nature Is too great for his natural educe We blunder became we try to put into Revelations meaning which God never meant it to have The positivist who believes nothing of di vine revelation is badly off as the man who tries to explain the mysteries which belong to God only He who kellevee only what he knows perfectly can'tell his mud In the millionth part of a second for we know nothing perfectly The wisest math ematiclan cannot tell why two and two make four' We say that we know they are four but the why we cannot give The knowledge which most COneerne MI is to know the thought of God's mind and the Intent of (lode heart In the ruling of the universe The fearful misery degradation and injustice which -prevail are enough to drive one to despair and madness unless something wiser and better than human wisdom solves the riddle of the Sphynx The greatest of modern positivists had con ieesed that the mystery of life with its suf feting and evil was something far beyond their power to solve To John fitting in the isle of Patmoe It was the crown of all sorrows that God had written a book of which no man could break the seals that Is to interpret Thee came the cheering announcement that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Jesus the Lamb of Calvary had unsealed the book of God's purpose The meaning of this is that Christ's self-sacrificing love was stronger than omnipotence and wiper than omniscience The grand fact of the atone ment is the only key to the awful trouble and sorrows of humanity The bare contemplation drove such poeltivists as kiln Stuart Mill and others to despair This is the key to the perfect solution of all human science It is the path to perfect knowledge It solves the riddle of life What is not known now shall be known hereafter when we see our Redeemer face to face Pennsylvania Forest 4 li'll'INBURGt PA May 22--A
