All CELESTIAL HOLIDAY. Nations Throng Around Christ's Imperial Throne. The Mollltnileallrea.eil In Itnliea of W lilte. Unite Tlirlr ileea In -meet jni ihony lr. Tnlmncc't lermmi. The prcnt filiorcillteh tnbcrnnclo In the cast of London, .here ltcv. V Curt preaches, was thronpoil almost to suffocation, anil the larpo CViirof:itlonnl churcli In the Ilnckncy district coulil not hold half the people who tiled to pet Into It, though it was on Monday evening that Dr. Tnlmnjro preached there. Outside Iondon tlio eaperncHs to hear him lias been iulto ns Intense. In Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Crewe and Jianlcy, no church could bo found large enough to accommodate) the audiences and Dr. Talmago preached in the halls in uhlch the great political conventions are held nnd the capacity of these was tested to tho utmost. Since his nrrira), he has preached seven times each vt eek. Tho pennon selected for publication this week is from the text Her. vlL, 9, 10: "After this I beheld, nnd, lo, a great multitude which no man could num ler, of all nations, nnd kindreds nnd people, and tongues, stood before tho throne, nnd before tho Lamb clotheda with white robe, nnd palms In their hands: and cried with n loud voice, saying: Salvntion to our God which npon the throne, and unto the Lamb." It is impossible to come in contact with anything grand or beautiful in nrt, nnturc or religion, without being profited nnd elevated. We go into the nrt gallery, nnd our soul meets the soul of the painter, and we hear the hum of his forests and the clash of his contllctn, ana see the cloud-blossoming of tho sky and the foam-blossoming of the ocean; and we corao'out from the gallery better men than when we went in. We po into the concert of music and are lifted Into enchantment; for days after our fcoul seems to rock with a very tumult of joy, as tho sea, after a long stress of weather, rolls and rocks nnd surges a great while before it comes back to its ordinary calm. On tho same principle it is nroflioble to think of Heaven, nnd look off'upon that landscape of joy and light which SU John depicts; the rivers of gladness, the trees of life, the thrones of power, the eommingllngs of everlasting love. I wish this morning that I could bring Heaven from the list of iutangles, and inako it seem to you ns it really is the great fact In all history, the depot of all ages, tho parlor of God s universe. This account In ray text gives a picture of Heaven as it is on n holiday. Now If a man came to New York for the first time on the day that Kossuth arrived from Hungary, nnd ho saw the arches lifted, and the flowers flung In the streets and ho heard the guns booming, he would have been very foolish to suppo.se that that was the ordi nary appearanco of tho city. While Heaven is always grand and always beautiful, I think my text speaks of a gala day in Heaven. It is a time of great celebration perhaps of the birth or the resurrection of Jesus; perhaps of the downfall of bomc despotism; perhaps because of the rushing in of the millennium. I know not what; but it does seem to me in reading this passage as if it were n holiday in Ilcnvcn: "after this I beheld, nnd, lo, n great multitude, which no man could number of all nations, nnd kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before tho Lamb, clothed in white robes and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvntion to our God w hlch sitteth upon the throne, nnd unto tho Lamb." I shall speak to you of the glorified in Heaven their number, their antecedents their dress, their symbols, and their song. Jlut how shall I begin by telling you of tho numbers of those in Heaven? I have seen n curious estimate by an Ingenious man who calculates how long the world was going to last, nnd how many people there are in each generation, and then sums up the whole matter, and bays he thinks there will be twenty-seven millions of souls In glory. I hare no faith in his estimate, I simply take the plain announcement of the text it is "a great multitude, which no man can number." Ever' few years in this country we take a census of tho population, nnd it is verycasy tp. tell how many people there aro" In a city or in a nation; but who shall give the census of the great nation of the saved? It is quite easy to tell how many people there nre in different denominations of Christians how many Itaptlsts and Methodists and Episcopalians and Presbyterians; of all the denominations of Christians wo could make an estimate. Suppose they were gathered in one great audience room; how overwhelming tho spectacle! Hut it would give no idea of tho great nudlence room of Heaven tho multi tude that bow down nnd that lift up their hosannas. Why, they come from all the chapels from all the cathedrals, jrom all sects, from all ages; they who prayed in splendid liturgy, and those who in broken sentences uttered the wish of broken hearts from Grace church and sailor's bethel, from under the shapeless rafters and from under high-sprung arch "a great multitude, that no man can number." One of tho most impressive things 1 have looked upon is nn army. Stand ing upon a hillside, you .sec 40,000 or 60,000 men pass along. You cun hardly glons of everlnijting snow, and those heard tho song of birds In African thickets The were white. They wero black. They were rod. They were copper color. Irom all lands, from nil ages Tluv were plunged Into Austrian dunget'ii. They passed through Spanish inquisitions They were confined In Loalon Tower. They fought with beasts il the amphitheater.' They reroJtorny.iti" i hey were Wnldonscs Th'eywcre nigenses, They wero Scotch Covenanters They were Sandwich Islanders. imagine tJjo impression if you have not! which they have passed, tho battles actually felt it. Hutyou.may take ull tho armies that the cat th has ever tcn the legions tinder Sennacherib, nnd Cyrus, nnd Ciesar, Xerxes, nnd Alexander, nnd XnpoJoon, nnd nil our mod- regiment compared with tho great army of the redeemed. I stood one day at Wllllamsport and saw on tho opposite side of tho I'otomao tho forces coming down, regiment after regiment, and brigade nftor brigade. It seemed as though there was no end to the procession. Hut now let mo take tho of St John und look off upon tho hosts of Heaven-thousands upon thousands, ten thousand times ten thousand, one hundred und forty nnd four thousand, and thousands of thou-sands, until I put down tho field-glass nnd say: "I can not estimate it-a great multitude that no man can number." You may tax your imaglnation.'iind torture your ingenuity, und break down your powers of calculation In attempt-In to express tho multitudes of tho re-leased from earth and tho enraptured of and talk of hundreds of hundreds of hundred ; of thousmds of thousands of thousands; of mi. lions of millions of millions, until yuur head aches and your heart faints ,.,i ..- hausted and overburdened you exclaim; "I can not count them a r eat multitude that no unn can nuuibje.

Well, what shall we wear in Heaven? "I saw a "great multitude clothed In white robes" It is white! In this world wo had sometimes to have m working apparel, llright nnd lustrous garments would be ridiculously out of place sweltering amid forges or mUlng paints, or plastering ceilings or binding books In this world we mu't have tho working day apparel sometimes, and wc caro not how coirse it Is. It is appropriate; but w hen nil the toil of earth Is past, and there is no more drudgery and no more weariness, we shall stand before the throne robed In white. On earth wc sometimes had to wear mourning apparel blaek scarf 'for the arm, black eil for the face, black gloves for the hands, blnik band for the hat Abraham mourning for Sarah; Isaac mourning for Kcbocca; Hnchel mourning for her children; David mourning for Absnlom; Mary mourning for Lazarus. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day a heart breaks. The earth from mo to zone and from pole to pole is cleft with sepulchral rent; nnd the eurth can easily afford to bloom and blossom when it is so rich with molderlng life. Graes! graves! Hut when these bereavements havo all passed, nnd there are no more graves to dig, and no more coffins to mnke, nnd no more sorrow to sulTcr, we shall pull off this mourning nnd be robed in white. I see a soul going right up from all this scene of sin and trouble into glory. 1 seem to hear him say: I Journey forth rejoicing; ''rem this dirlc vnleof tears, To heal cnly Joy anJ freedom, From earthly cire and fears. When Christ my Lord shall rather AH his redeemed again, Ills Iclni.lom to Inherit-Good eight till then.. I bear my "Saviour railing: The Joyful hour h is come.

My subject advances nnd tells you of the symbols they carry. If my text had represented the good in Heaven as carrying cypress branches, that would have meant sorow If my text had represented the good in Heaven as carrying night-shade, that would have meant sin. lluV it is a- branch they carry, nnd that js victory When tho people came home from war in olden times, the conqueror rode nt the head of his troops, nnd there were nrches, ami the people would come out witli branches of tho palm tree and wave them all along the host What a significant typo this of the greeting and of the joy of the redeemed in Heaven! On earth they wero condemned and were put out of polite cir cles. They had infamous hands strike them on both checks (Internal splto spat In their faces Their back nehed with sorrow. Their brow reeled with unalleviatcd toil. How weary they were' Sometimes they broko the heart of the mid night in the midst of their nnguish, crying out, "O God!" Hut hnrk now to tho shout of tho delivered captives ns they lift their arms from the shackles and they cry out: 'Tree! free!" They look back upon nil the trials through songs tremulous with sorrow, songs dirgeful for tho dead; but in Heaven there w 111 be in sighing of w Inds, no walling of nnguish, "to weeping symphony. The tamest ,!. will bo the dullest tune a triumphal march. Joy turning the chxubiml Joy among the seraphim! Jot among tho ransomed! Joy forever! On earth the music In cAurchca is often poor, because there Is no Interest In It, or liocausc there Is no harmony. Some would not sing; some c'rald not sing: some sang too high, too low ; some sang by fits and starts; but In the groat nudlence of the redeemed on high all voices will bo nnd the man who on earth iv lid not tell n plantation melody from tho "Dead March in Snul," will lift nn anthem that tho Mcndelssohns nnd Hecthovens nnd the Schumann, of nerer imagined: nnd you may stnnd through all eternity and lls'im, and tlicrv will not be one discord la that great nnthem that forever rolls up against tho great heart of God. It will not be a solo; it wilt not bo a "duet; it will not bo a quintet; but nn Innumerable host before tho throne, crying "Salvation unto our God and unto the Lamb." They crowd all the temple, ithey b,cnd over the battlements, they fill nil tho heights and depths nnd lengths nnd breadths of Heaven with their hosannas. When people were taken Into tho Temple of Diana It was such a brllllaut room tint they wore always put on their guard. Some people had lost their sight b just looking on the brilliancy of that room, nnij so the janitor when he brought n stranger to the door nnd let him In would always chnrgo him, "Take heed of your eyes." Oh! When 1 think of the song that goes up around tho throne of God, so jubilant, multitudinous I feel like saj ing: "Take heed of your cars." It Is so lond a song. It is so blessed nn anthem. They sing a rook song, saying, "Who is he that sheltered us In the wilderness, nnd shadowed us in a weary land?" And the chorus comes in: ' Christ, tho shadow of a rock In a weary land." They sing a star song, saying, "Who !a he thnt guideth us through the thick night, and w hen all other lights went out, arose in tho sky tho morning star, pouring light on the soul's darknes?"' And the chorus will come In: "Christ, the morning star, shining on the soul's darknovs," They will sing n flower song, sn.wng: "Who is he that brightened nil our way, and breathed sweet ness upon our soul, and bloomed through frost nnd tompost?" and tho chorus will come in: "Christ, the lily of the valley, blooming through fros nnd tempest" They sing a water song, saying: "Who is he that gleamed to us from tho frowning erag, and lightened the dark est ravine of trouble, and brought cool ing to the temples and refreshment to the lip, lid was a fountain in the midst of tho wilderness?" Anil then tho chorus will come in: "Christ, the fountain In the midst of tho wilderness" My friends, will you join that anthem? Shnll we innko rehenrsnl this morning? If we can not sing that song on earth we will not lie ablo to sing it in Heaven. Can it be that our good friends in that land will walk all through that great throng of which I speak, looking for us, and not finding us? ill they eomo down to the gate and ask if we hae passed through, and not find us reported as having come? ill they look through the folios of eternal light and find our names unrecorded? Is nil this a representation of a land we shall never sec of n song we shall never sing? llrrenteil I'artleii May U bald To lla In tlie soup." I do not think there is any other country where political feeling, both local and central, runs so high as in Greece. Tills warmth of political passion Is still more intensified by tho fact that, in the choice of nil candidates in this representative government, tho family nnd its relntions of kinship form the esscntinl guide. And when it is borno in mind that nearly all tho offices, local rind central, down to tho postmen und tho attendants at museums, depend upon the success of each party, nnd that the family will nt once run to their own member of parliament to help them in releasing ono of their kinsmen who has been convicted of a crime, it will bo understood how, In n small community where there nro no industries but precarious agriculture nnd fishing, the political differences permeate every nook nnd cranny of daily life. This fact the foreigner who would excavate in Grceco must always bear In mind.

Although .Mr. Harrison Is Hot much of a hurnnrl.t tho circumstances tinder which ths wish was expressed would hare Justified tho belief that tho remark w. only a bit of pleasantry. Tho wishes of n president, however, are commands to tho office seekers; and the publication of tho remark brought a quick response. Somo Maryland republican sent td the president by express two young 'possums, with red, white and bluo ribbons nbout their necks, onn marked "i'rotecllon" and the othar "Heciproclty." This is supposed to hare been a m niter stroke of political management It Is accepted as nn advertisement of the fact that Mr. Harrison is fomLqf 'possum, nnd this Is expected to 'V4 north many voles to him. Every darky' heart Is expected to thrill with admiration when he learns that tho republican candidate for tho presidency is fond of 'possum. To be sure, tho colored troop hnvo boon fighting nobly In the republican column nil along, but It seems that something Is now deemed necessary to rouse their enthusiasm. There havo been many murmurs of discontent lately, l'rof. Lnngstoa has declared that no self-respecting colored man can vote for Harrison, and such a declaration might have Its effect, unless counteracted. Hut w hen the president orders 'possum and sweet potatoes every negro voter Is expected to forget all grounds of disaffection and come cheerfully to tho support of the ticket Apart from Us effect upon the negro voters, there Is a peculiar propriety in the introduction of the 'possum as the of the republican policy of protection and reciprocity. The salient characteristic of the 'possum Is so well known that it has enriched our language with tho word '"possumlng" a4 it synonym of dissimulation. It is therefore, the best of all symbols of republicanism. Tho whole republican creed is but nn cxnmplo of '"possum- l-M sO' v& "lr A i-a ' 0 r iU ..Hie, w ila " - - ' it I I - BY THE Yrnp'GtJ 40 oo.r,P P'l TV ing." When republicans talk of "protection" they are only ' 'possumlng," for they do not mean protection Bt all, but spoliation of the many for the benefit of a few. When they speak of reciprocity, they wink the other eye, for they propose so to limit it that it will give cheap goods only to foreigners; it Is a 'possum policy from beginning to end. The labels of "protection" and "reciprocity" have only to bo put upon a eouplo of 'possums to tell the whole story. The Idea was n genuine inspiration. Louisvlllo Courier-Journal. THE DOCTRINE OF LIBERTY. Slanfl. t'i lor the Right of the IVople. Tho democratic party has always held that it Is the right of thecltixen to make and control the government; that when he is governed nt all against his consent he Is governed unjustly, and that ho cannot be justly governed in any re spect without this consent, previously expressed In the contracts created by constitutions and by statutes made in nccorlancn with them. It has alway held that only such rights are to be surrendered to the majority making and administering the laws as are absolutely essential to government for the maintenance of peace and order. Beyond this it denies that the majority has a right to govern tho individual, whom it holds to be free to regulate his own morals, his own religion, hi own business, hli own amusements, his own education, his own food nnd drink, his own habits of all kinds and the whole conduct of his life without regard to tho will of the majority so long and so far to any extent whatever as he does not disturb the peace of tho majority and by his course rentier good order impossible. The republican party holds now and it has always held that the individual has no rights which may not rightly be taken from him by statute If he Is too weak to prevent tho statute from being enacted for his subjugutlon. In this intemperate spirit of oppression It has passed its prohibitory laws In tho name nots, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and other states it has nttempted by statute to overthrow the freedom of education, to forco tho Individual to abandon the fight to obey his own conscientious convictions; to compel liim to accept tho dictum of politicians in the education of his children; to send policemen to interfere Iietwecn parent and child, nnd to uso tho police power of the stale to break down such schools, religious nnd heeiiliir, nsaro not "authorized" l? ofllccliohlors. Th? declaration of tho Chicago platform for freedom of education and ngniiist this tyranny is strong and timely. With tho rest of the platform It constitutes an emphatic reaffirmation of tho democratic tenet of Individual liberty at u time when bigoted radicalism in tho states und in tho I'nlted States is going to extremes in denying' that tho Individual litis any ri'ghts which a party strong enough to suhju , gulo hlin, nnd take from him the llhcr ' ty of exorcising them is hound to respect or even to tolerate.- St. Louis HARRISON'S ABUSEOF POWER.
