| i § i [E— ¥ 6 A STIRRING SERMON. That Preached by Rev. Dr, Stell- ing Sunday. *‘Inconceivableness of Future | Glory” the Topic. A’ Comprehensive Subject Power- fally Handlod Rev. Dr. Stelling, of Dayton, Ohio, preached a fine scrmon on *‘The In- wonceivableness of Future Glory” be- fore a large audience in the Lutheran church Sunday. M. Stelling took his text from the 1st of Corinthians, 2nd chapter and Oth verse, ‘‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” This passage is about as sweep- ing in its declarations as it can be. Tt might be regarded by critics as ex- cessively hyperbolical, as attempting by a representation of things which are unreal to give us a conception of things which are real, whatever any- one might think the apostle evident. ly intended it to be literally accept- ed and understood. He was indulg- ing in NO FUTURE SPEECH, He was speaking of things which from the very nature of the case were beyond the possibility of exaggera- tign,things which were necessarily the loftiest and the most excellent, and which on that acount, could not be subjected to the help of & mere figuro of speech. The expression is prophetic and was borrowed by the apostle from the writings of Isaiah. Their eyes had seen many wonderful things, their ears had heard many wonderful things, into their hearts had. entered many wonderful things; but true as this was the eyes that would sce and the ears that would hear and the hearts that would feel in the DAYS OF JESUS CHRIST would sce and hear and feel what had never been lpruuunlud to the human intellect and sense. Not only had they been hidden from the vulgar of those days, but as the Apostles do- clares, even the princes of the world had not known them, The Lord Jesus said to his disciples your eys for they see, and your cars for they hear, for verily I'say unto you, that many prophots and righteous men have desired to seo these things which ye see and have not seen them, and to hear those things which ¢ hear and have not heard them.” hese things comprehended the bless- ings of redemption as they came through the death of Christ. ~And of these they have NO CONCEPTION. They belong to the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which, above the penetration of the human reason, were in gospel times revealed to the saints by that Spirit which ‘ ‘searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” "But the application of this passago may be carried further, As there was something still higher and better before the people of God who flourished under the Mosaic period 80 there is something still higher and better before the people of God who flourish undey. the Christian. Our Heavenly Father has not yet made an end of His revelations, Ho has neither exhausted all His material, nor expended all His goodness. He has not. yet conducted us to the su- preme heights of spiritual experience and enjoyment. In that world which is now to us unseen, the fruitions of which, for the most part, are as yet simply the OBJECTS OF HUMAN CONJECTURE, but into which we shall by-and-bye be transported, there are things in reservation for them that love God which are altogether beyond the presont limits of our comprehen- sion and conception. Even Paul, with liis powers of inspiredimagination and delineation, attempts neither their enumeration nor description. He can find only one way in which to make even an approach towards such an at- tempt, and that is the way in which he has done it in the text, ~ He means to say that the glory of the future world was inconceivable, 1t compre- hended the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him and y the use of these peculiar forms of expression Ho would help us under- stand the better how UTTERLY INCONCEIVAULE the glory of these future blessings were. First,they were such things as the eye had not seen, Thero are none of us, I am sure, who have lived in this world any length of time who will hesitate toacknowledge that the human vision has not been wanting in objects to gratify its natural propensity of seeing. God has himself supplied theso objocts, Who will not agree that the Supreme Architect, when in the be- ginning He conceiyed and planned the creation, had reference to this particu- lar and exquisite sense of man! Klse why did He contrive such a variety of shapes, and paint such u variety of colors, and rear such a VARIETY OF HEIGHTS, and did such a variety of depths, and roll out such a variety of breadth and start such a variety of motions The very fact, however, that on every hand we see J(nnd.ur and sublimity evinees how direetly the Creator had at in His mind to afford the eye ma- te for its gratification. Solomon speaks a truth with which our expe- rience will readily accord. He tells us that the eyc 1s not satisfied with Ho weans to say that it NEVER GROWS WEARY of it. And why! Bocause as he him- self answers, “‘All things ave full of labor.” God has made so much to- bo secn, and so much that is worthy to be seen, that we never tirve of gazing upon the wonders which His skillful hands have Why is it that men travel use the eye covets the v ous sceneries of nature, and knowing where the finest of them are, goes to feast itself upon the pleaswe to be them himself, las not read of the | scenes of and of Switzerland, and of California, and of Oregon Who, if his own eyes have not been entaptured by them, has not listened to descriptions of the beautiful pic tures along the Rhine, the Hudson | and the Columbia’ ART AS AN ASSISTANT, And then what has not the hand of art done to assist nature in imparting pleasure to the cye! And w‘m! magnifticent galleries of art are there not, How do not men lin- ger in them held there by the bind- ing spell which the creations of human skill have thrown over the vision? And what wonderful speci- mens of architecture has not the cye beheld? Here in this department of art have been dinplnyv({ taste and ornament and finish, and eyes have gazed with delight as men passed by or stood in contemplation, Iu has looked both upon the various works of God and upon the numerous works of man often TRANSFIXED BY THE MAJESTY ot the one and delighted by the at tractiveness of the other. And yet, notwithstanding it is true, eye hath not seen the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. eso works of the Almighty, though only such as He in the infinity of His wisdom and power could create, do not by any means express the limits of either.. He held conception and skill and_capacity in reserve when He lard the foundations of the earth and upon them_this glorious superstruc- tion. And hence He has displayed a far higher beauty and a far loftier grandeur and a FAR DEEPER SUBLIMITY in the structure and finish of heaven. There are in the future world fairer skies, and prettier landscapes and brighter colors than earth can any- where exhibit. And there are struc- tures there, by the side of whose magnificence and height, the grandest buildings below age as rubbish and ruin, Not even fom the various ob- jects here, whickt eye has seen, can we form any like an approx- imate conception of those scenes which skall burst upon the vision when the dark cartains of time shall drop and no longer hide the incom- parable glory of the future from us. Sccondly, they were such things as the ear had ‘not heard. W charmed as much by what we hea by what we sce.

T refer to those of harmony—to that combination and modulation of sounds, whother pro- duced by voice or instrument, wllxir:h constitutes what we call music. No wonder when we think of it that the ANCIENT MYTHOLOGISTS ascribed its origin to Apollo, Thoy felt that an art so wonderful in its formation and so uncommon in its in- | fluence must have some deity for its author. We are of the samne opinion, and hence make its author God, Who were Mozart and Handel, and Haydn, and Beothoven, and Mendels sohn but, great master minds filled with native passi sounds themselves, di marvellots production for tho purpose of furnishing pleasure and rapture to other cars, Ntill while all this is true, again, car hath never heard the things which God hath pre- pared for them thatlove Him, There are utterances of eloquence, and WHISPE OF LOVE and combinations of musical sounds in the tuture world that will entrance inspire and exalt as tho sweetest sounds of carth have never done Thirdly, they were such things as had never entered into the heart of man, There is a groat deal that is blessed which comes through human associa- tions and relations. We pour large amounts of happiness into the hearts of one another, and thus by means of DELIGHTFUL COMPANIONSHIPS sweoten the life that would otherwise be much more bitter than it is, But besides there are many things that have been conceived by the heart.

Some time sined information received by the government authori- ties, and published fn The Post that the king of Siam was about sending a stone as a contribution to the Wash* ington monument. The king has tol- lowed out his good intention and the ved. The letter accom- pany that it was excavated by his majesty’s orders from the quarries 1n the Korat hills, distant about ono hundred miles from the aty of Bangkok. His majesty, during_his youth, while a prince of the real, conceived u peculiar fondness for America and her liberal institu- tions, derived in great part from the instructions of our missionaries there, and assumed the title of “George Washington.” For many years prior to his elevation to the throne he was familiarly addressed as *Prince George Washington,” and even to-day en- joys a reference to that circumstance, with The king left it optional his avents to have seription on the stone English or Siamese, As is full oyal donor is: Phra Ratcha 1 Mongkong, The stone is out six incheés by twe and is of a peculiar yollowish brown color, The inseription says: ““Pre sented to the Washington Monument WHIPPLE, McMILLEN & CO,, 3= WA 1B X EE B ond King of Mr. Larkin Meade, sculptor who is now in Florence, some years ago made a proposition to embellish the monument by four bronze punels on the sides of tho shaft near the base, giving baso relief representations of scenes making epochs in Washington’s life, Mr. Meade has already made designs in clay for two of these panels, The first represents the surrender of Cornwallis. The second has just been completed, and Mr. Meade has sent a photograph of the design to the monument association. It repre- sents the inauguration of Washington on the portico of the old custom house in New York. The proposition to place these panels on the sides of the shaft has met with some favor, though no official action has been ta- ken. Work on the monument is pro- gressing favorably.
