REV. LACHLIN TAYLOR, |

Tae Rev. Dr. Lachlin Taylor preached an eloquent sermon in the Prince Street Church yesterday morning. The Rev. Dr. took for his text the 18th verse of the 68th Psalm: ‘‘Thou hast ascended on high, | thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast | received gifts for men: yea, for the rebel. | lious also, that the Lord God might dwell | among them.” The preacher said it was} supposed that this magnificent Psalm, from | which the text was taken, was penned by | David to be sumg at the removal of the Ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. <A brief but eloquent description of the capture of the ark by the Philistines many years be- fore, was given, the tokens of divine ven- geance and displeasure, in the extreme suf- ferings of ths Pailistines during the tim the ark remained in their midst, the haste made by them to place it beyond the beun- daries of their country and on the boarders of the land of the Israelites. The ark re mained twenty years at Kisjath-jearim, when David conceived the idea of placing it within the new city which he was about to build for himself, and make the capital of his kingdom. David had reigned seven years and a half at Hebron, when he deter- mined to make Mt. Zion his future abode. In order to do so, it was necessary to drive out the eccupauts of the great. fortress who had hitherto successfully resisted all at- tempts to take it. The beauty of the situa- tion and the importance of the place asa stronghold, induced David to send out his greatest general to capture the city. How magnificent the view which must have burst upon his vision as he approached the fort- ress! The walls were scaled, the inhabi- tants __ slain, and the place -se- prepared a Tabernacle for the ark of God, although a tent, yet doubtless rich and _ beautiful. There is nothing either inthe old Scriptures or the new which indicates God’s displeasure at beantifying the Temple in which he is worshipped. David conceived the grand idea of building a magnificent and rich Temple ; and although prevented from so doing, yet that which ke had performed, the erecting of the Tabernacle for the ark, was on a munificent scale. Now, then, David was preparing himself to bring up the ark, and no easy task was it to accom- plish; the preacher in his travels had visited Hebron, once a grand old place, but now a shabby village, an old sheik took him to the outskirts of the village and pointed to a valley (or what in Scotland would be called a glen) in thebeautiful blue mountains of Palestine, and said, ‘‘through that val- ley came the ark from Kerjath-jearim.” He had travelled over the road, and so rough and jagged was it, that it would seem almost impossible for anything on wheels to pass upon it. It was not as- tonishing that the ark toppled over. Uzza reached out his hand to save it; but the displeasure of God was manifest by the sudden death of the man. David refuses to go further with the ark, and seemed to have been displeased at the death of Uzza. But Obed-edom, grandman, desired that the ark might turn into his cottage, and the blessing of God rested upon him for his act of care. But the devoted monarch could not rest till the ark was placed in the Tabernacle, and he went forth with a grand procession, which did not halt till the ark was carried beneath the rich curtain, and safely lodged in the place prepared for it. At this period of the proceedings in all robability this Psalm was sung—David fimeclf giving the key note. A wonderful man was David. Whena mere shepherd boy, he ran out to fight the Philistine. Did you ever think of David’s courage ? He ran out to meet his foe. A ruddy youth running to meet a man eleven feet high! Perhaps as he advanced in years he became as great a general as Wellington, or Napoleon, or Grant. A poet, never sur- d by cven the immortal Homer, or ordsworth, or Byron, or that grandest of all English poets—John Milton; a musi- cian, equal to the most skilled in the nation of which he was king, he doubtless sounded the key-note of this beautiful Psalm, and all the vast throng joined to celebrate the event of placing the ark in the City of David. This brings one to the text : ** Thow hast ascended on high.” We have the authority of Paul for stating that these words refer to the Saviour. He came to expiate sin, and, when the work was done, ascended up on high. Have you aver carefully thought of the intense suffer- ings of Christ No method of putting to death can cause such intense suffering. The nails were driven into the soft part of the hand, and the Saviour compelled to hang upon his own flesh. No vital part was reached to cause instant death. By this means of cruel torture the victims often remained for some days, suffering the most excruciating pain. ‘The Reman _ soldiers came first to those who were crucified with Christ, and found that they were still alive. They brake the bones of one, then the other ; but when the Saviour was reached they found he was dead already. Did they kill Him? No. Listen: He said, “I have power to lay down my life and power to take it up again.” They thought they would kill Him, but they were foiled. Christ voluntarily gave up the Ghost, in order that He might make a full and free atonement for sinful man. Then came that grand and wealthy nobleman, Joseph of Arimathea, and placed him in a magnificent tomb. I have seen the tombs in the vicinity of the cities of Palestine, and some of them are beautiful in the extreme. rock, they bear marks of patient toil and care and taste. Some of these tombs are used by wandering Arab tribes to shelter them from the weather; the bodies they| once contained have mouldered away to! dust. I thought as I visited some of the

tombs outside the city of Damascus that if) —= sugh were to be found in Western countries |

No; the forces of man against one angel of God were powerless; they were paralyzed. Then came that absurd story, ‘say His dis- ciples came and stole Him away by night as the soldiers slept.” Iuthat Eastern coun- try the moon shines so brightly that a newspaper can be read. I have read nyself from the top of a house a paper that was placed in my hand almost as well as if by daylight. The queen of the night shone forth in all her brilliancy when the angel sat upon tle stone. Did it ever strike you that the position of the angel was peculiar on this occasion? We read of angels flying or standing but never have we read of one in a sitting posture before. The Roman soldiers had a full view of him no doubt and the absurdity of the story con- cocted by the Jewish Priests is apparent when we remember no Roman soldicr dare sleep at his post and live. Who ever heard of a man being able to tell what took place while he slept. The Priests were ashamed of their own story. When the Apostles stood forth on the day of Pentecost and iterated that Christ had risen from the dead, did the priests repeat their story? It is not probable. Was there ever such a mis- erable fiction uttered in the presence of reasonable men? Christ triumphed over death and hell. He came forth from the grave and might exclaim ‘‘death where is thy sting, grave where is thy victory.” } The grim monster, death, was gathering in, gathering in through all ages, but his master had come and no triumph was gained over the Lord. The preacher here quoted from an old Divine who said that death held in his hand a spear and cn that spear was a sting, he plunged the spear into the body of the Saviour, and withdrew it again, leav- ing the sting behind; but when Christ came forth from the tomb, he triumphantly held forth the sting in his hand exclaiming, ‘‘ O death where is thy sting!’ Dr. Taylor said no funeral procession accompanied the body of Christ to the tomb. We read that the rich man in Scripture was buried, no doubt with a great deal of pomp- rich men always have funera! processions. If a man has been a colonel or a captain, or a squire, pomp and splendor attend his funeral obse- quies. Wedonet read that Lazarus was buried,the rich man was burried, but Laza- rus was carried away by the angels. I wish I could describe the parting scene between the Saviour and his disciples. They were happy while the Master was with them, but became downeast when he past away. He ascended on high—he passed through the starry heavens. That noble Irisman-——Lord Ross—who made himsélf poor by experi- menting on the telescope, has rendered to science great aid. After Herschel had dis- covered with his powerful telescope much in connection with the solar systein, Lord Ross by thetnore powerful telescope he had caused to be made, found that twenty benches of stars (I do not know why they call them benches) existed beyond the limit which Herschel had reached. When the mighty Lord ascended from our earth [imagine He rose as the Emperor of the vast Empire of the starry heavens. He is now wearing the Crown of the Kingdom of heaven. While upon earth he wore the Crown of throns. I have cut with my own knife when in Palestine three sprigs of the thorn (I wish I had cut twenty) said to be the kind of thorn of which the crown was made. It grows about two feet in length with stabs or pricks on one side growing from the root to the point, the point of each stab being as fine as a cambric needle ; if the thorn was placed upon a fleshy part of the body and struck it would tind the bone in an instant. The pliable nature of the thorn permits it to be twisted into any shape. The Crown which the Saviour wore was plaited with the pricky part inward. The sharp points pierced the numerous

ran tickling down. I imagine I see Him now wearing that great Crown of triumph and of victery over death and hell, and all his enemies. It may have been that the angel which sat upon the stone was the first to welcome Him as the Lord of Heaven and earth. In conclusion I may say that I trust the time is not far distant when the story of His ascension will be read in every vernacular on the earth, and that both old nd young may learn of the cross, that old sinners who have done every errand and every chore of the devil, may learn to love Christ. Between death and such sin- ners I would hold up the Cross.

The sermon occupied one hour in the de- livery, and was listened to with the greatest attention. Our report is very much con- densed.
