MAKES WRONG RIGHT
DR. TALMAGE SAYS CHRISTIANITY IS
REVOLUTIONARY.
Not a R. lined Imbeeiilty, but a Robust
Force Fol* Bettering the World Re
ligion I» Not Peaee, but That Will Be
the Final Reault.
‘ |*’opyrlght. IH9S. by American Piven Asso

WAkfllMiTox. May I.—This ditscourscatf
, Dr. Talmage i.-> revolutionary for good in
f.'iinilics and churi h« s and nations nnd
1 i*l**<i.i!)y appropriate for these times:
text, Acts xvii, “These that have
I turned tho world upside down aro come
; hither also.”
There is a wild, lu-llowing mob around
the house of Jason in What
! has the man done so gieatly to offrnd the
puipie? Ho has been < nt> rtninmg Pnul
! nnd hta comrades. The mob surround tho
I house and cry: “Bring out those turbu
, lent preachers! They are interfering with
our business! They bro ruinin'? our re
ligion! They uro actuaily turning the
I world upside down!’
'Tho charge was true, for there is noth
Ing that so interferes with sin. there is
nothing so ruinous to every form of e.-t:i!»- j
ilshml iniquity, there is nothing that has !
such tendency to turn the world upsldo
down as our glorious Christi'.nity The
; fact is that tho world now is wrong side
I up. and it needs to be turned upside dow n
i in order that it may lie right side up. The
I time was then men wrote books entitling
i them “z\pologi»> For Chiistianity.” I
! hojm that day has passed. Wo want no
i more ajKilogies for Christianity. Let the
I iipoiogirH Im> on tho part of those who do
i not believe incur tciigion Wo do not
: mean to inr.ke any compromise in the
I mutter. We do not wish to hide the fact
i that Christianity is revolutionary and
■ that its tendency is to turn the world up
! side down.
Our religion has often been misrepre
sented as a principle of tears and mildness
nnd fastidiousness, afraid of crossing peo
ple’s prejudices, afraid of making soine
t>ody mad, with silken gloves lilting the
people up from the church pew into glory,
ns though they were Bohemian glass, so
very delicate that with one touch it way
i ho demolished forever. Men speak of re
ligion as though it wore a refined imbecil
i ity. uh though it were a spiritual chloro
form, that file people were to tako until
tho sharp cutting of life wore over. Tho
Bitile, so fiir from this, represents tho re
ligion of Christas robust and brawny—
ransacking and upsetting 10,000 things
that now seem to bo settled on firm foun
dations I hear some man in tho house
sny, “I thought religion was peace. ”
That is the final result. A man’s arm is
out of plncß. Two men come, and with
great effort put it back to the socket. It
goes back witli great pain. Then it gets
well. Our world is horribly disordered
and out of joint. Lt must conic under an
omnipotent surgery, beneath which there
will bo pain and anguish before there can
come perfect health and quiet. I proclaim,
therefore, in the name of my Lord Jesus
Christ—rnvovition I
The religion of the Bible will make a
revolution in the family. Those things
that arc wrong in the family circle will
he overthrown by it, while justice and
harmony will tako tho place. The hus
band will bo tho head of tho household
only when he is lit to bo. 1 know a man
who spends all the money ho makes in
drink as well as all the money that his
wife makes, and sometimes sells the chil
dren’s clothes for ruin. Do you toll me
that ho is to lie the head of tiiat house
hold? If tho wife have niore nobility,
more courage, more consistency, more of
ail that is right, she shall have tho suprem
acy. You say that the Bible says that the
wife is to bo subject to tho husband. I
know it, but that is a husband, not a
masculine oaricaturo. 'There is no human
or divine law that makes a woman subor
dinate to a uian unworthy of her. When
Christianity conies into a domestic circle,
it will give the dominancy to that ono
who is the most worthy of it.
Ah religion comes in at the front door,
mirth and laughter will not go out of tho
back door. It will not hopple the chil
dren’s foot. John will laugh just as loud,
and George will jumphigber than hoover
did before. It will steal from tho little
ones neither ball nor bat nor hoop nor
kite. It will establish a family altar.
Angelswill hover over it. Ladders of light
will reach down to it. The glory of heav
en will stream upon it. The books of re
membrance will record it, and tides of
everlasting blessedness will pour from it.
Not such a family altar ns you may have
seen where the prayer is long and a long
chapter is rend, with tedious explanation,
and tho exorcise keeps on until tho chil
dren’s knees an* sure, and their backs
ache, and their patience is lost, and for
Hu: seventh t ime they have counted all tho
rungs in the chair, but I mean a family
altar such as may have been seen in your
father's house. You may have wandered
far off In the paths of sin and darkness,
but you have never forgotten that family
altar where father and mother knelt im
portuning God for your soul. That is a
memory that a man never gets over.
There will he a hearty, joyful family altar
in every domestic circle. You will not have
to go far In find Hannah rearing her Sam
uel for the temple or a grandmother Lois
instructing her young Timothy in the*
knowledge of Christ, or a Mary and Mar*
tha nnd Izazarus gathered in fraternal and
sisterly affection, or a table at which
Jesus sits, as at that of Zaecheus, or a home
in which Jesus dwells, as in the house of
Simon the tanner. The religion of Jesus
Christ, coming into the domestic circle,
w ill overthrow all jealousies, all janglings,
and peace ami order and holiness will tako
possession of tlie homo
Again, Christianity will produce a rev
olution in commercial circles. Find mo
•50 merchants, anti you find that they have
50 standards of what is right and wrong.
You say to some one about a merchant,
“Is ho honest?" “Oh, yes,” the man says,
“ho is monest, but he grinds the faces of
his clerks! He is honest, but ho exagger
ates tho value of his goods. Ho Is honest,
but he loans money on bond and mortgage
with the understanding that the mortgage
can lie quiet for ten years, but as soon as
he gets the mortgage he records it and be
gins a foreclosure suit, and the sheriff’s
; writ comes down, and the day of sale ar
i rives, and away goes the homestead, and
; tho creditor buys it in at half price.”
Honest? When he loaned the money, he
knew that he would get tho homestead at
, half price. Honest? But he goes to the
; insurance office to get a policy on his life
i and tells the doctor that he is well w hen
' ho knows that for ten years he has had but
’ ono lung. Honest? Though ho sells
I property by tho map, forgetting to tell the
puH'baser that the ground Is all under
I water, but it is generous in him to do
that, for he throws the water into the bar
gain.
Ab, my friends, there is but one stand
ard of the everlasting right and of the
everlasting wrung, and that is rhe Bible,
and when that principle shall get its pry
under our commercial houses I believe
that one-half of them will go over! The
ruin will begin at one end of the street,
and it will be crash! crash! crash! all the
way down to the docks. “What is the
matter? Has then* been a fall in gold?”
“Oh, no.” “Has there been n'new tariff?”
"No.” “Has there been a failure in
crops:-’’ “No.” '•Has there been an un
accountnh’o panic?” “No.” This is the
Secret: The Lord God has set up his throne
of judgment in the exchange. He has
summoned the righteous and the wicked
Ito come before him. What was 1837? A
day of judgment! What was 1857? A day
of judgment! What was the extreme da :
pression of two years ngo? A day of judg
ment! Do you think that God is going to
wait until he has burned the world up be
fore he rights these wrongs? I tell you,
nay! Every day is a day of judgment.
The fraudulent man piles up his gains,
bond above bond, United States security
above United States security, emolument
above emolument, until his property has
| become a gn at pyramid, and as he stands
I hwiking at it he thinks it can never be
' destroyed, but the Lord God comes and
with his little finger pushes it all over.
luu build a house, and you put into it
a rotten lieam. A mechanic standing by
says: “It will never do to put that beam
in. It will ruin your whole building.”
But you put it in Tho house is complet
ed Soon it begins to rock. You call in
the mechanic ano ask: "What is the mat
ter with this door? Whafe* is the matter
with this wail? Everything seems to be
giving out.’’ Says tho mechanic, “You
put a rotten beam into that structure, and
the whole thing has got to come down.”
Here is an estate that seems to be all right
now. It baa been building a great many
years. But 15 years ago. there was a dis
honest transaction in that commercial
house. That one dishonest transaction
will keep on working ruin in the whole
structure, until -Jow n the estate will come
in wreck and min about the possessor’s
ears—one dishonest dollar in the estate
demolishing all his possessions. I have
seen it again and again, and so have you.
Hero is your m«>n<-y safe. The manu
facturer and yourself only know how it
can be opined. You have the key. You
touch the lock, and tho ponderous iloor
swings back. But let me’ tell you that,
however firmly burred and bolted your
money safe may be. you cannot keep God
out He will come some day into your
counting roonj, and he will demand:
“Where did that note of hand come from?
How do you account for this security?
Where did you get that mortgage from?
What does this mean:- If it is all right,
God will say: “Well done, good and faith
ful servant. Be prospenxl in this world.
Be happy in the world to come.” If it is
all wrong, he will say: “ Depart, ye cursed.
| Bo miserable for your iniquities in this
i life, and then go down and spend your
I eternity with thieves and horse jockeys
I and pickpockets. ” ,
You have an old photograph of the signs
; on your street. Why have those signs
marly all changed within the last 20
: years? Does the passing away of a gener
■ ntion account for it? (Jh, no. Does the
fact that there are hundreds of honest
mon who go down every year account for
it? Oh, no. 'This is the secret: The Lord
God has been walking through the com
mercial streets of our great cities, and he
has been adjusting things according to tho
principles of eternal rectitude.
The time'will comowhen, through the
revolutionary power of this gospel, a false
hood, instead of being called exaggeration,
equivocation or evasion, will bo branded
a lie, and stealings tiiat now sometimes
go under tho head of percentagesand com
missions and bonuses will lie put into the
catalogue of state prison offenses! Society
will bo turned inside out and upside down
and ransacked of God’s truth until busi
ness dishonesties shall come to an end, and
all double dealing, and God will overturn
and overturn and overturn, and commer
cial men in all cities Will throw up their
hands, crying out, “These that have
turned the world upside down are come
hither. ”
The religion of Jesus Christ will pro
duce a revolution in our churches. Tho
noncommittal, do nothing policy of tho
church of God will give way to a spirit of
bravest conquest. I’iety in this day seoms
to mo to bo salted down just so as to keep.
It seems as if the church were chiefly anx
ious to take care of itself, and if wo hear
of want and squalor &nd heathenism out
side we say, “What a pity!” and we put
our hands in our pockets, and wo fee]
around for a 2 cent piece, and with a great
flourish we put if upon tho plate and are
amazed that tho world is not converted lu
six weeks. Suppose there wore a groat
war, and there were 300,000 soldiers, but
all of those 300,000 soldiers, excepting ten
men, were in tboir tents or scouring their
muskets or cooking rations. You would
say, “Os course defeat must como in that
case.” It is worse than that in the
church. Millions of the professed soldiers
of Jesus Christ arc cooking rations or
asleep in their tents, while only one man
here and there goes out to do battle for
the Lord.
“But,” says some one, “we are estab
lishing a groat many missions, and I think
they will save tho masses.” No; they will
not Five hundred thousand of them will
not do it. They are doing a magnificent
work, but every mission chapel is a con
fession of tho disease and weakness of the
church. It is making a dividing line be
tween the classes. It is saying to tho rich
and to the well conditioned, “If you can
pay your pew rents, come to the main au
dience room.” It is saying to the poor
man: “A'our coat is too bad and your
shoos are not good enough. If you want
.to get to heaven, you will have to go by
tho way of the mission chapel.” Tho mis
sion chapel has become tho kitchen, where
the church does its sloppy work. There
are hundreds ami thousands of churches
in this country—gorgeously built and sup
ported—that even on bright and sunshiny
days are not half full of worshipers, and
yet they are building mission chapels, be-
I cause by some expressed or implied rogu-
I lation the great masses of the people arc
kept out of the main audience room.
Now, I say that any place of worship
which is appropriate for one ciass is ap
propriate for all classes. Let the rich and
the poor meet together, tho Lord tho Maker
of them all. Mind you that I say that
mission chapels are a necessity, tho way
churches are now conducted, but may God
speed 1 iie time w hen they shall cease to be
a necessity. God will rise up and break
down the gates of the church that have
kept back tho masses, and woo be to those
who stand in tho way! They will be tram
pled under foot by tho vast populations
making a stampede for heaven.
1 saw in some paper an account of a
church in Boston in which, it is said,
there were a great many plain people.
Tlie next week the trustees of that church
came out in the paper and said it was not
so at all; “they were elegant people and
highly conditioned people that went
there.” Then I laughed outright, and
when I laugh 1 laugh very loudly. “Those
people,” I said, “are afraid of the sickly
sentimentality of the churches.” Now,
my ambition is not to preach to you so
much. It seems to mo that you must be
faring sumptuously every day, and the
marks of comfort are all about you. You
do not need the gospel half as much as do
some who never como here. Rather than
be priding myself on a church in front of
which there shall halt 50 splendid equi
pages on tho Sabbath day I woukl have a
church up to whose gates there should
come a long procession of the suffering,
and the stricken, and the dying, begging
for admittance. You do not need the gos
pel so ranch as they. You have good
things in this life. Whatever may be your
future destiny, you have had a pleasant
time here. But those dying populations
of which I speak, by reason of their want
and suffering, whatever may be their fu
ture destiny, are in perdition now, and if
there bp any comfort in Christ’s gospel for
God’s sake give it to them!
Revolution! The pride of the church
must come down. Tho exclusiveness of
the church must come down! Tho finan
cial boastings of the church must come
down ! If monetary success wore the chief
idea In the church, then I say that the
present inode of conducting finances is
the best. If it is to sec how many dollars
you can gain, then the present mode is the
best. But if it is the saving of souls from
sin and death and bringing the mighty
populations of our cities to the knowledge
of God, then I cry revolution! It is com
ing fast. I feel it in the air. I hear the
rumbling of an earthquake that shall
shake down iu one terrific crash the ar
rogance of our modern Christianity.
Tho sea is covered with wreaks, and
multitudes are drowning. We como out
with the church lifeboat, and the people
begin toclainber in, and we shout: “Stop!
stop! You must think it costs nothing
to keep a lifeboat. Those seats at the prow
are ?1 apiece, these in the middle 50 cents
and those seats in the stern 2 shillings.
i Please to pay up or else flounder on a lit
tle longer till rhe mission boat whose
work it is to save you penniless wretches
shall come along and pick you up. Wo
save only first class sinners in this boat.”
Tho talk is whether Protestant churches
or Roiuau Catholic churches are coming
out ahead. I tell you, Protestants, this
truth plainly—that until your churches
are as free as aio tho Roman Catholic
cathedrals they will beat you. In their
cathedrals the inillionairo nnd the beggar
kneel side by side. And until that time
conies in cur churches we cannot expect
the favor of God or permanent spiritual
prosperity.
Revolution' It may be that before the
church learns its duty to tho masses God
will scourge it and come with the whip
of omnipotent indignation and drive out
tho money changers. It may bo that there
is to be a great day of upsetting before
that time shall come. If it must come, O
Lord God, let it come now 1

church of Christ the church building will
be the most cheerful of all buildings. In
stead of tho light of tho sun strained
through painted glass until an intelli
gent auditory look; green and blue and
yellow and cupper colored, we will have
no such things. The pure atmosphere of
heaven will sweep out the fetid atmos
phere that bus l*cen kept in many of our
churches boxed up from Sunday to Sun
day.
Ibe day of which I speak will boa
day of great revivals. There will bo such
:i time as then- was in te. parish of Sbotts,
j where souls were l*urn to God in ouc
day —such times as were seen in this
.:o»ii'.!ry when Edwards gave the alarm,
wi.* n T. nr.imt i sen*, bed, and Whitefield
thundered, and Edward Payson prayed;
such tiiiies as some of you remember in
Ihoj, when the voice of prayer and praise
was board in tiieater and warehouse and
blackshop and factory and engine house,
and the auctioneer s cry of "a half, and a
half, and a halt, was drowned out by
the adj iining prayer meeting, in which
tiie p* •. pie cued out, “Men and brethren,
what shall we do?”
In those* days of which lam speaking
the services of the church of God will be
more sqjjrited. The ministers of Christ,
instead of being anxious about whether
they are going to lose their place in their
notes, will get'on fire with the theme and
pour the living truth of God upon an
aroused auditory, crying out to tho right
eous. “It .'hall be will with you,” and to
tl:: 1 wicked: “Woe! it shall be ill with
you.’ In those days the singing will be
very different from what it is now. The
music will weep and wail and chant and
triumph. People then will not bo afraid
to open their mouths when they sing. The
man with a crui sod voice will risk it on
“Windham” and “Ortonville” and “Old
Hundred.” Grandfather will find the
place for his grandchild in the bymnbook,
or the little child will be spectacles for the
grandfather. Hosanna will meet hosanna
and together go climbing to the throne,
and the angeis will hear, and God will
listen, and the gates of heaven will hoist,
and it will ho as when two seas meet—the
wave oi earthly song mingling with tho
surging anthems of the free.
Oh, my God, let me live to see that day!
Let there be no power in disease or acci
dent or wave of the sea to disappoint my
expectations. Let all other sight fail my
eyes rather than that 1 should miss that
vision. Lot all other sounds fail ray ears
rather than that I should fail to hear that
sound 1 want to stand on the mountain
top to catch tho first ray of the dawn and
with flying feet bring tho news. And, oh,
when we hear tho clattering hoofs that
bring on the King’s chariot may we all be
ready, with arches sprung and with hand
on the rope of the bell that is to sound the
victory, and with wreaths all twisted for
tho way, and when Jesus dismounts let it
be amid the huzza! huzza! of a world re
deemed! ,
Where and when will that revolution be
gin? Here and now. I? your heart and
mine. Sin must go down, our pride must
go down, our worldliness must go down,
that Christ may come up. Revolution!-
“Except a man bo born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God.” Why not now
let the revolution begin? Not next Sab
bath, but now. Not tomorrow, when you
go out into commercial circles, but now.
Archias, the magistrate of Thebes, was
sitting with many mighty men, drinking
wino. A messenger came in, bringing a
letter informing him of a conspiracy to
end his life and warning him to flee.
Archias took the letter; but, instead of
opening it, put it into his pocket and said
to the messenger who brought it, “Busi
ness tomorrow.” The next day he died.
Before he opened tlie letter the govern
ment was captured. When he read the
letter, it was too late Today I put into
the hand of every man and woman who
hears or these words a message of
life. It says, “Today, if ye will hear his
voice, harden not your heart.” Do not
put away the message and say, “This busi
ness tomorrow.” 'ibis night thy soul may
be required of thee!

Looking Out For the Future.
He was an odd looking man. The prill
eipal of tiie educational institution was
prepared by in.: appc-aiunce lor some un
usual ideas. lie took off his lint crowned
hat and making a bow observed:
“I look like a, crank, don’t 1?”
“I—l don’t care io venture an opinion,”
replied ihe principal.
“That’s all right, sir. You won’t hurt
my feelings in tho least. I have been
• called a crank so often that I’m used to
it. Formerly when I'd havoan impression
that I bruin t heard somebody else men
tion, 1 used to struggle to conceal it. But
I Rave got over that. I tell iny own
thoughts out plainly and let people think
what they like. You attend to the educa
tian of young boys?”
‘‘Well, do you use copy books?”
“Would money be any inducement to
you to try and educate a boy without em
ploying them?”
“Why, 1 suppose wo could teach him to
write in some other way.”
“I don’t want you to. I desire him to
learn everything orally. If there is any
thing that positively demands a record,
you can put it in a phonograph and let
him keep the cylinder. I’ll pay for it.
You see, he has an uncle in the diplomatic
service, and with his assistance I hope to
secure a similar career for this boy. My
heart is set on leaking a diplomat of him
and I wish to reuiove from his path every
possible temptation to write personal let
ters. That’s an idea that I got in tho past
few days and, do you know, the more I
think of it the more I suspect that maybe
I am not such a crank as I look!”—Wash
