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 ciation. ] 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 _ln that future day of the reconstructed MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, MAY 2 1898. — 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! Beats tlie Klondyke.

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 ingtop Star. Chamberlain Cough Runedy.
