Tho Logic <?r the Skeptic Is Slot by tho Overwhelming Testimony of Millions of Christians and Proved to Be Falsi Beatrice, Neb., July C?Dr. t|i1 magc preached hero in the open air to an immense congregation which had gathered from all the surrounding country to hear the famous preacher. His text was, "We are witnesses" (Acts hi, 15). Following is his sermon: In the days of Goorgo Stephenson, tho perfeetor of the locomotive engine, the scientists proved conclusively that a railway train could never be driven by steam power successfully and with? out peril; but the rushing express trains from Liverpool to Edinburgh, and from Edinburgh to London, have made all the nations witnesses of the splendid achievement. Machinists and naviga? tors proved conclusively that a steamer could never cross the Atlantic ocean; but no sxmner had they successfully proved the impossibility of such an un? dertaking than the work was done, and the passengers on the Cunard, and the liunan. and the National, and the White Sta? lines are witnesses. There went up agnfiuwof wise laughter at Professor Morse's proposition to make tho Lightning of heaven his errand boy, an 1 ii wasproved conclusively that the thing could never be done; but now all the news of the wide world, byAsso I Press put in your hands every morning and night, has made all na? tions witnesses. So in the time of Christ it wasproved conclusively that it was impossible for him ro rise from the dead. It was shown logically that when a man was dead he was dead, and the heart and the liver and the lungs having ceased to perform their offices, the limbs would be rigid beyond all power of friction or 0.V lusal. They showed it to lie an abso? lute absurdity that the dead Christ should ever get up alive; but no sooner had they proved this than the dead Christ arose a ltd the disciples beheld him, heard his voice and talked with him, and they took the witness stand i' i prove that to be true which the wise? acres of the day had proved to bo im? possible: the record of the experience and of the testimony is in the text: ''Him hath (rod raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. the skeptic's argument. Now, let me play the skeptic for a I moment. "There is no God," says the j skeptic, ''for I have never seen hini with my physical eyesight. Your Bible isapackof contradictions. There never was a miracle. Lazarus was not raised from the dead, and the water was never turned into wine. Your religion is an imposition on the credulity of the ages." There is an aged man moviugover yon (i i- a- though he would like to respond. Here are hundreds of people with faces e. little flushed at those announcements, and all Through this assembly there is a suppressed feeling which would like to speak out in behalf of the truth of our glorious Christianity, as in the days of the text, crying out: "We are wit? nesses!" The fact is that if this world is ever brought to (rod it will not be through argument, but through testimony. You might cover the whole earth with apol? ogies for Christianity and learned trea-1 tises in defense of religion?you would not convert a soul. Lectures on the harmony between science and religion are beautiful mental discipline, but | have never saved a soul, and never will save a soul. Put a man of the world and a man of the church against each other, and the man of the world will in all probability get the triumph. There are a thousand things in our re? ligion that seem illogical to the world and always will seem illogical. Our weapon i:i this conflict is faith, oof lope; faith, nor metaphysics; faith, not profundity; faith, not scholastic exploration. But then, hi order to have faith, we must have testimony, and it' live hundred men, or one thou? sand men. or live hundred thousand men, or five million men get up and tell me that they have felt the religion of Jesus Christ a joy, a comfort, a help, an aspiration. I am bound as a fair j minded man to accept their testimony. I want just now to put before you three pr< >p< sitions, the truth of which I think this audience will attest with over? whelming unanimity. religi?s brings a change of heart. J The first proposition is, We are wit :. - that the religion of Christ is able to convert a soul. The Gospel may have had a hard time to conquer us, we may have fought it back, but we were vanquished. You say conversion is only an imaginary thing. We know better. "Wo are witnesses." There never was so great a change in ourj heart and life on any other subject as on this. People laughed at the mission-1 ?ries in Madagascar because they preached ten years without one con? vert: but there are 33,000 converts in Madagascar today. People laughed at Dr. Adoinram Jud son, the Baptist missionary, because he kept on preaching in Burmah five years without a single convert; but there are twenty thousand Baptists in Burmah today. People laughed at Dr. Morri? son, in China, for preaching there seven years without a single conversion; but there are twenty-five thousand Chris? tians in China today. People laughed at the missionaries for preacliing at Ta? hiti fifteen years without a single con? version, and at the missionaries for preaching in Bengal seventeen years without a single conversion; yet in all those Luids there are multitudes of Christians today. But why go so far to find evidence of tlie Gospel's power to save a soul? 'We are witnesses." We were so proud that no man could have,humbled us; we were so hard that no earthly power could have melted us; angels of God were all around about us: they could not overcome us. But one day, per? haps at a Methodist anxious seat, or at a Presbyterian catechetical lecture, or at a burial, or on horseback, a power seized us, and made us get down, and made us tremble, and made us knejl, and made us cry for mercy, and ye tried to wrench ourselves away from the grasp, but we could not. It flung us flat, and when 'we arose we were jas much changed as Gourgis. ihe heathen, who wont into a prayer meeting with a dagger and a gun to disturb the meet? ing and destroy it, but the next d ly was found crying, "Oh, my great sit si Oh, my great Saviour I** and for elevan years preached the Gospel of Christ to his fellow mountaiueers, the hist words oh ins dying lips being, "Free graco!" Oh. it was free Brace ) COJTVERSIOX DID IT. There is a man who was for ten years a hard drinker. The dreadful appetite had sent down its roots around the pal? ate and the tongue, and on down until they were interlinked-with the vitals of the body, mind and soul; but he has not taken any stimulants for ten years. What did that ? Not temperance soci? eties. Not prohibition laws. Not moral suasion. Conversion did it. "Why," said one upon whom the groat change had coino, "sir, I feel just as though I were somebody else I" There is a sea captain who swore all the way from New York to Havana, and from Havana to San Francisco, and when ho was in port he was worso than when he was on the sea. What power was it that washed his tongue clean of pro? fanities and made him a psalm singer? Conversion by the holy spirit There are thousands of people in this assem? blage today who are no more what they once were than a waterlily is a night 6hade, or a morning lark is a vulture, or day Is night. Now, if I should demand that all those people here present who have felt the converting power of religion should rise, so far from being ashamed they would spring to their feet with more alacrity than they ever sprang to the dance, the tears mingling with their exhilarations jus they cried: "We are witnesses:'' And if they tried to sing the old Gospel hymn they would break down with emotion by the time they got to the second line: Ashamed of. Jesus, tint dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! Ni>: When I blush, be this my shame: Thm 1 no more rerera his name. THE GOSPEL'S POWER TO COMFORT. Again I remark that we are wit? nesses of the (iospel's power to comfort. There are Christian parents here who are willing to testify to tho power of this Gospel to comfort. Your son hail just graduated from school or college and was going into business, and the Lord took him. Or your daughter had just graduated from the young ladies' seminary, and you thought she was going to be a useful woman and of long life; but the Lord took her, and you were tempted to say, "All this culture of twenty years for nothing!" Or the little child came home from school with tho hot fever that stopped not for the agonized prayer or for the skillful physician, and the little child was taken. Or the babe was lifted out of your arms by some quick epidemic, and you stood wondering why trod ever gave you that child at all, if so soon ho was to take it away. And yet you are not repining, you are not fret? ful, you are not fighting against [God. What has enabled you to stand all the trial." "Oh," you say, "I took the medicine that God gave my sick soul. In my distress I threw myself at the feet of a sympathizing God; and when I was too weak to pray or to look up he breathed into me a peace that I think must, he the foretaste of that heaven where there is neither a tear, nor a farewell, nor a grave." Come, all ye who have been out to the grave to weep there?come, all y.' comforted souls, get up oil your knees. Is there no power in this Gospel to soothe the heart: Is there no power in this re? ligion to quiet worst paroxysm of grief? There comes up an answer from comforted widowhood, and orphanage and childlessness saying: "Ay, ay. we are witnesses!" GOD EASES SORROW. I When a man has trouble the world j comes in and says. "Now get your mind off this: go out and breathe the fresh air; plunge deeper into business." What poor advice! Get your inind off it; When everything is upturned with the bereavement, and everything re? minds you of what you have lost. Gel your mind off it! They might as well advise you to stop thinking. You can? not stop tbinldng, and you cannot stop thinking in that direction. Take a walk in the fresh air! Why, along that very street, or that very road, she once accompanied you. Out of that grass plat she plucked tlryvcrs, or into that show window she looked, fascinated, saying, "Come seo the pictures." Go deeper into business! Why, she was associated with all your business am? bition, and since she has gone you have no ambition left. Oh, this is a clumsy world when it tries to comfort a broken heart. I can build a Corlear's engine, I can paint a Raphael's "Madonna," I can play a Beethoven's "Eroica Symphony" as easily as this world can comfort a brok? en heart. And yet you have been com? forted. How was it done ? Did Christ come to you and say. "Get your mind off tins; go out and breathe fresh air; plunge deeper into business?" No. There was a minute when he came to you?perhaps in the watches of the night, perhaps in your place o? busi? ness, perhaps along the street?and he breathed something into your soul that [ gave peace, rest, infinite quiet, so that \ you could take out the photograph of tho departed one and look into the eyes and the face of the dear one and say, "It is all right; she is better off; I would not call her back. Lord. I thajik thee that thou hast comforted my poor heart." WHEN THE I,AST MOMENT COMICS. Again, I remark that we are witness? es of the fact that religion has power to give composure in the last moment. I never shall forget tho first time I con? fronted death. Wo went across the cornfields in the country. I was led by my father's hand, and we came to the farmhouso where the bereavement had come, and we saw the crowd of wagons and carriages: out there was one car? riage that especially attracted my boy? ish attention, and it had black plumes. I said: "What's that? what's that? Why those black tassels on the top?" and after it was explained to me I was lifod up to look upon the bright face of an aged Christian woman, who three days before had departed in triumph; the whole scene made an impression I never forgot. In our sermons and in our lay exhor? tations we are very apt. when we want i to bring illustrations of dying triumph, j to go back to some distinguished per? sonage?to a John Kn?x or a Harriet Newell. But I want you Lor witnesses. I want to know if you have ever seen anything to make you believe that the religion of Clirist can give composure in tho final hour. Now, in the courts attorney, jury and judge will never ad? mit mere hearsay. They demand that the witness must have seen with his own eyes, or heard with his own ears, and so I am critical in my examination of you now; and I want to know whether you have seen or heard anything that makes you believe that the religion of Christ gives composure in the final hour. ' \ "Oh, yes," you say; "I saw my fa? ther and mother depart. There was a ereat difference in their deathbeds. H9^HHRS9>9B)ii3BBK?BB^HBBnBi^^HSB8 Standing by tlio ono we felt more vene? ration. By the other there was more tenderness." Before the one you bowed perhaps in awe. In the otiier ease you felt as if you would like to go along with her. How did they feel in that last hour? How did they seem to act? Were they verjrmuch frightehed? Did they take hold of this world with both hands as though they did not want to give it up? "Oh, no," you say; "no, I remember .-us though it were yester? day; she had a kind word for us all, and thero were a few mementoes dis? tributed among the children, and then she told us how kind we must be to our father in his loneliness, and then she kissed us good-by and went asleep as calmly as a child in a cradle." "slIK HAD FAITH." What made her so composed? Nat? ural courage"No," you say; "moth? er was very nervous; when the carriago inclined to tho side of the road she would cry out ; she was always rather I weakly." What, then, gave her com? posure; Was it because she did not care much for you and the pang of parting was not great ? "Oh," you say, "she showered upon us a wealth of af foetion; no mother ever loved her chil? dren more than mother loved us; she showed it by the way she nursed us when we were sick, and she toiled for us until her strength gave out." What, ihen, was it that gave her composure in tho last hour.' Do not hide it. Be frank and let mo know. "Oh," you say, "it was because she was so good; she made tin' Lord her portion, and she had faith that she would go straight to glory and that we should all meet berat last at the foot of the throne." Here are people who say, "I saw a Christian brother die, and he tri? umphed." And sonn- one else, "I saw a Christian sister dio, and she tri? umphed." Sonic one els,, will say, "1 saw a Christian daughter die, and she triumphed." Come, all ye who have seen tho last moments of a Christian, and give testimony in this cause on trial. Uncover your heads, put your hand on the old family Bible from which they used to read the promise.-, and promise in the presence of high heaven that you will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. With what yon have seen with your own eyes, and from what you have heard with your own cars, is there power in this Gospel to give calmness and triumph in the la.-t exigency? The response comes from all sides, from young and old and middle aged: ,lWe are witnesses:*' Mll.UOXS OF WITNESSES. You see. my friends. I have not put before you today an abstraction, or chimera, or anything like guesswork. I present yon affidavits of the best men and women, living and dead. Two witnesses in court will establish a fact. Here are not two witnesses, but thou? sands of witnesses- -on earth millions of witness.-, and in heaven a great multitude of witnesses that no man can number, testifying that there is power in this religion to convert the soul, to give comfort in trouble and to afford composure in the last hour. If ten men should come to you when you are sick with appalling sickness and say they ha l the same sickness, and took a certain medicine and it cured them, you would probably t tike it. >*ovv, suppose ten other men should come up and r ay. "We don"t believe there is anything in thn' medicine.'' '?'Well," 1 say, "have you ever tried It?" ' No, I never tried it, but I don't believe there is anything in it." Of course you discredit their testimony. The skeptic may come and say. "There is no power in your religion.-" "Have you ever tried it." "No, no." "Then, avaunt!" Let mo take the testimony of the millions of souls that have been converted to God, and comforted in trial, and solaced in the last hour. We will take their testimony as they cry, "We are wii n esses!" * Sometime ago Professor Henry, of Washington, discov< red a new star, and the tidings spread by submarine tele? graph, and all the observatories of Europe were watching for that new star. Oh, hearer, looking out through the darkness of thy soul today, canst thou .-ce a bright light beaming on thee? "Where?" you say; "where? How can Ifindit?" Look along by the line of the cross of tho Son of God. Do you not sc - it trembling with all tenderness and beaming with all hope? It is the Star of Bethlehem. Dt"-i> horror then my \it;i!s froze, l>.-n'!i fttruclf, I ceased the tide to etem, When suddenly a star .iro^e? it was the Star of Bethlehem. Oh, hearer, get your eye on it. It is easier for you now to become a Christian than it is to stay away from Christ and heaven. ? two STORIES. When .Mine. Sontag began her musi? cal career she was hissed off the stage at Vienna by the friends of her rival, Amelia Steinuiger, who had already begun to decline through her dissipa? tion. Years passed on, and one day Mine. Sontag, in her glory, was riding through the streets of Berlin when she saw a little chUd leading a blind wo? man, and she said: "Come here, my little child, come here. "Who is that you are leading by the, hand?" And the little child replied: "That's ray mother; that's Amelia Steininger. She used to be a great singer, but she lost her voice, and she cried so much about it that she lost, her eyesight" "Give my love to her," said Mine. Sontag, "and tell her an old acquaintance will call on her tins afternoon." The next week in Berlin a vast as? semblage gathered at a benefit for that poor blind woman, and it was said that Mate. Sontag sang that night as she had never sung before. And she took a skilled oculist, who in vain tried to give eyesight to the poor blind woman. Until the day of Amelia Sterainger's death Mine. Sontag took core of her, and her daughter after her. That was what the queen of song did for her enemy. But, oh, hear a more thrilling story still. Blind immortal, poor and lost, thou who, when the world and Christ were rivals for thy heart, didst hiss thy Lord away?Christ comes now to give thee sight, to give thee a home, to give thee heaven. With more than a Son tag's g< ner ' he comes now to meet your need. With more than a Sontag's music he comes to plead for thy deliv? erance. A DUTY TO YOURSELF.
