TOO Midi IS MISERY DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON ON THE DAN- GERS OF WEALTH. Tlie I of <h«- Glnnt- Th* Service of tlie < ommonplnce—They Who Do the World** Work—The Divinity of Service. [Copyright. IS9?, by American Press Asso ciation.] Washington, Sept 25.—From n passage of Scripture that probably no other clergy man ever preached from Rev. Dr. Talmage in this discourse sets forth a truth very appropriate for those who have unhealthy ambition for great wealth or fame. The text is 1 Chronicles xx. 6,7: “A man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and six on each foot, and he also was the son of a giant. But, wh ■he de fied Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shirnea, David's brother, slew him.” Malformation photographed, and for what reason? Did not this pas age slip by mistake Into the sacred S ires, as sometimes a paragraph utterly obnoxious to the editor gets into ids newspaper dur ing his aliwnce? is not this scriptural errata? No, no, there is nothing haphaz ard about the Bible This passage of Scripture was as certainly intended to be put In tiie Bible as the verse, ‘‘ln the be ginning God created the heave; d the earth," or “God so loved the • , that tie gave ids only I egc.tten Son. And I select it for my text todsiv because it is charged with practical and trenien dons moaning. By the people of God the Philistines had been conquered, with the exception of a few giants. The race of giants is mostly extinct, I am glad to say There is no use for giants now except to enlarge the income of museums. But there were many of them in olden times Goliath was, according to the Bible, 11 feet 4% inches high, or, if you doubt this, the famous Pliny declares that at Crete by an earthquake a monument was broken open, discovering the remains of a giant 46 cubits long, or 69 feet high. So, whether you take sacred or profane history, you must come to the conclusion that there were in those times cases of human altitude monstrous and appalling. Impotent Giantism. David had smashed the skull of one of these giants, but there were other giants that the Davidean wars had not yet sub dued, and one of them stands in my text. Ho was not only of Alpine stature, but had a surplus of digits. To the ordinary fingers was annexed an additional finger, and the foot had also a superfluous adden dum. Ho find 24 terminations to hands and feet, whore others have 20. It was not the only instance of the kind. Ta vernier, the learned writer, says that the emperor of Java had a son endowed with the same number of extremities. Volca tius, tho poet, had six fingers on each han<L Maupertuis, in his celebrated let ters, speaks of two families near Berlin similarly equipped of hand and foot. All of which I can believe, for I have seen two cases of tho same physical superabun dance. But this giant of tho text is in battle, and as I (avid, the stripling warrior, had dispatch' <1 one giant tho nephew of David slays this monster of my text, and there ho lies after tho battle in Gath, a dead giant His stature did not save him, and his superfluous appendices of hand and foot did not save him. The probabil ity was that in tho battle his sixth finger on his hand made him clumsy in tho use of his weapon, and ids sixth toe crippled his gait Behold the pros! rate and mal formed glantof thotext: “A man of great stature, whoso fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and six on each foot, and he also was tho son of a giant. But when ho defied Israel, Jona than, tho son of Shimea. David’s brother, slew him.*' > The I se of Everyday. Behold how superfluities are a hin drance rather than a help! In all tho bat tle nt. Gath that, day there was not a man with ordinary hand and ordinary foot and ordinary stat uro that, was not better off than this physical curiosity of my text. A dwarf on the right side is stronger than a giant on the wrong side, and nil the body and mind and estate and opportunity that you cannot use for God and the better ment of the world I'.ro n sixth finger and a sixth too and a terrible hindrance. The most of the good done in the world and the most of I hose who win tho b itties for the right are ordinary people Count tho fingers of their right hand, and they have just five—no more and no less One Dr Duff among missionaries, but 3,000 missionaries that would tell you they have only common endowment.

The longer I live tho more 1 like common folks. They do the world s work, bearing the world's burdens, weeping the world’s sympathies. carrying the world's consolation Among law yers we see rise up a Rufus Choate or a William Wirt or a Samuel L. Southard, but society would go to pieces tomorrow If there were not thou sands of common law yers to see that men and women get their rights A Valentine Mott or a Willard Parker rises up emi nent, in tho medical profession, but. what an unlimited sweep would pneumonia and diphtheria and scarlet fv if have in the world if ij were not for 10.(MX) common doctors! The old physician in his gig. driving up the lane of th" farmhouse or riding on horseback, his medicines in the saddlebags, arriving on the ninth day of the fever, and coming in to take hold of the pulse of the patient, while the family, pale with anxiety, and looking on and waiting for his decision in regard to the patient. and hearing him say, ‘‘Thank God. I have mastered the case; he is get ting well!” excites in me an admiration quite equal to tho mention of the names of the great, metropolitan doctors of the past or the illustrious living men of the present Useless Addenda. Yet what do wo st e in all departments? People not satisfied with ordinary spheres of work and ordinary duties. Instead of trying to see what they can do with a hand of five fingers, they want six. In stead of usual endowment of 20 manual and pedal addenda, they want 24. A cer tain amount of money for livelihood, and for the supply of those whom we leave be hind us after vve have departed this life, is important, for we have the best authority for saying. "He that provideth m t for his own. and especially those of his own household, is worse than an infidel,' 1 but the large and fabulous sums for which many struggle, if obtained, would l»e a hindrance rather than an advantage. The anxieties and annoyances of those whose estates have become plethoric can only be told by those who possess them. It will be a good thing when, through your industry and prosperity, you can own the house in which you live. But suppose you own 50 houses and yon have all (hose rents to collect and all those tenants to please. Suppose you have branched out in business successes until In almost every direction you have invest ments. The lire bell rings at night; you rush up stairs to look out of the window Jo see if it is any of your mills. Epidemic of crime comes, and there are embexzle- n nte .and absconding in all directions, and you wonder whether any of your book k'•opera will prove recreant. A panic strikes the financial world, and you are like a hen under a sky full of hawks and Dying with anxious cluck to get your overgroyvn chickens safely under wing. Aft* r a certain stage of success has been reached you have to trust so many impor tant things to others that you are apt to become the prey of others, and you are swindl'd and defrauded, and the anxiety you had on your brow when you were earning your first 81.000 is not equal to the imxiety on your brow now that you have won yo> r 8300.000. Monetary Plethora. The trouble witn such a one is, be is spread out like the unfortunate one in my text. You have more fingers and toes than you know what to do with. Twenty were useful; 24 are a hindering super fluity Disraeli says that a king of Poland ab dicated his throne and joined the people and l.wame a porter to carry burdens And some one asked him why be did so. and he replied: “I pon my honor, gentle men, the load which I cast off was by far heavier than tho one you see me carry The weightiest is but a straw when com pared to that weight under which I labor ed. I have slept more in four nights than I have 'hiring all my reign I begin to live and to be a king myself. Elect whom you choose As for me, I am so well it would Is; madness to return to court.” ‘‘Well.” says somebody, ‘such overload ed persons ought to lie pitied, for their worriments are real, arid their insomnia and their nervous pr stration are gen ulne. ” Ir- ply that they could get rid of the Ixtthcrsomc surplus by giving it away If a man has mon, houses than he can car ry without vexation, let him drop a few of them. If his estate irf so great he cannot manage it without getting nervous dys pepsin from having too much, let him di vide with those who have nervous dyspep sia because they cannot get enough No, they gui rd their sixth finger with more care than they did tho original five. They go limping with what they call gout and know not that, like the giant of my text, they are tamed by a superfluous toe. A few of them by charities bleed themselves of this financial obesity and monetary plethora, but many of them hang on to the hinttaring superfluity till death, and then, as they are compelled to give tho money up anyhow, in their last will and testament they generously give some of it to the Boni, expecting, no doubt, that he will feel very much obliged to them Thank Gt.tl that once in awhile wo have a Peter Cooper, who, owning an interest in the iron works at Trenton, said to Mr. Lester- "1 do not feel quite easy about the amount we are making. Working under one of our patents, we have a monopoly which seems to mo something wrong. Ev erybody has to coibo to us for it, and we are making money too fast ” So they re duced the price, a <1 this while our philan thro' i. 1 1 .. ' building Cooper Institute, which mothers a hundred institutes of kindne--, and mercy all over the land. But the world had to wait 5,800 years for Peter Cooper! The Miser nn<l Misery. I ampl.ul for the benevolent institutions that gi t a legacy from men who during their life were as stingy as death, but who in their tast will and testament bestowed money i n hospitals and missionary socie ti> s, but for such testators I have no re spect They would have taken every cent of it with them if they could and bought up half of hen von and let it out at ruinous rent or loaned the money to celestial citi zens at 2 percent a month and got a “cor ne.r'' o.i harps and trumpets. They lived in this world 50 er 60 years in the presence oi' a,q<.filing suffering and want and made no efforts for their relief. Tho charities of such people uro in t he ‘ ‘ Paulo post future” tense. They are going to do them. The probability is that if such a one in his last will by a donation to benevolent societies trie, to atone, for his lifetime closcflsted ness tho heirs at law will try to break the will by proving that tho old man was se nile or crazy, and tho expense of the liti gation will about leave in tho lawyer’s hands what was meant for the Bible so ciety. O ye overweighted, successful busi ness men, whether this sermon reach your ear or your eyes, let me say that if you are prostrated v. ith an :i. ties about keeping or Investing these tremendous fortunes I can tell you how you can do more to get your health back and your spirits raised than by drinking gallons of bad tasting water at Saratoga, Homburg or Carlsbad—give to God, humanity and the Bible 10 per cent of all your income, and it will make a new man of you, and from restless walk ing of the floor at night you shall have eight hours’ sleep without the help of bromide of potassium, and from no appe tite you will hardly be able to wait for your regular meals, and your wan cheek will fill up, and when you die the bless ings of those who but for you would have perished will bloom all over your grave. Perhaps some of you will take this ad vice, but the most of you will not. And you will t ry to cure your swollen hand by get ting on it more fingers, and your rheu matic toot by getting on it more toes, and there will be a sigh of relief w hen you are gone out of the world, and when over your remains the minister recites the words, ‘ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, ' persons who have keen apprecia t : nos the ludicrous will hardly be able to keep i liefaces straight But whether in that divi.non my worus do good or not, 1 am anxious that all who have only or d.’.a . ip.uent be thankful for what they h and rightly ei ploy H. I think vou all r. ive, flgur.Kively as well as liter ah , fingers enou .h. Do Nut long for hindering snper'd. n ;es Standing in the presence of this fallen giant of my text and in this post mortem examination of Ln, let us learn how much better off we are with just the usual hand, the usual foot. You have thanked God for a thou sand thi' xs but I warrant you never thanked him for those two implements of work ami locomotion that no one but the Infinite and omnipotent God could have ever planned or made—the hand and the foot. Only that soldier or that mechanic who in a battle or through machinery has lost them knows anything adequately about their value, and only the Christian scientist can have any appreciation of what divine masterpieces they are. The Human Hand. Sir Charles Beil was so impressed with the wondrous construction of the human hand that when the Earl of Bridgewater gave 840,000 for essays on the wisdom and goodness of God, and eight books were written. Sir Charles Bell wrote his entire book on the wisdom and goodness of God as displayed in the hu man hand. The 87 bones in the hand and wrist with cartilages and liga ments and phalanges of the fingers all made just ready to knit, to sew, to build up, to pull down, to weave, to write, to plow, to pound, to wheel, to battle, to give friendly salutation. The tips of its fingers are so many telegraph offices by reason of their sensitiveness of touch. The bridges, the tunnels, the cities of the whole earth are the victories of the hand. The hands are nor dumb, but often speak as distinct ly as the lips. With our hands we invite, we repel, we invoke, we entreat, we wring them in grief or clap them in joy, or spread them abroad in benediction. The malformation of the giant’s hand in the text glorifies the usual hand. Fashiomsl of God more exquisitely and wondrously than any human mechanism that was ever sontrived, I charge you to use it for God and the lifting of the world out of its moral predicament. Employ it in the sub lime work of gospel handshaking. You can see the hand is just made for that. Four lingers just set right to touch your neighbor's hand on one side, and your thumb set so as to clinch it on the other side By all its bones and joints and muscles and cartilages and ligaments the voice of nature joins with the voice of God commanding you to shake hands. The custom is as old as the Bible, anyhow. Jehu said to Jehonadab: “Is thine heart right as my heart is with thine heart? If it be, give me thine hand.” When hands join in Christian salutation, a gospel elec tricity thrills across the palm from heart to heart, and from the shoulder of one to the shoulder of the other. With the timid and for their encourage ment, shake hands. With the troubled in warm hearted symjiathy, shake hands. With the young man just entering busi uess and discouraged at the small sales and the large expenses, shake hands. With the child who is new from God_and started on unending journey, for which he Deeds to gather great supply of strength, and who can hardly retwh up to you now because you are so much taller, shake hands. Across cr .dies and dying beds and graves, shake hands. With your ene mies who have done all to defame and hurt you. but whom you can afford to for give, shake hands. At the door of the churches where people e<>me in, and at tho door of churches where people go out, shake hands. Let pulpit shake hands with pew and Sabbath day shake hands with weekday, and earth shake hands with heaven. Ob. the strange, the mighty, the undefined, the mysterious, the eternal power of an honest handshaking! The difference between these times and the millennial times is that now some shake hands, but then all will shake hands, throne and footstool, across seas, nation with nation, God and man, church mili tant and church triumphant. The Errant Foot. Yea, the malformation of this fallen giant’s foot glorifies the ordinary foot, for which I fear you have never once thanked God. The 26 bones of tl»o foot are the ad miration of the anatomist. The arch of tho foot, fashioned with a grace and a poise that Trajan's arch or Constantine’s arch or any other arch could not equal. Those arches stand w here they were planted, but this arch of the foot is an adjustable arch, a yielding arch, a flying arch, and ready for movements innumerable. The human foot, so fashioned as to enable a man to stand upright as no oilier creature, and leave the hand that would otherwise have to help in balancing the body tree for any thing it chooses. The foot of the camel fashioned for the sand, tile loot of the bird fasnioned for the tree branch, the loot of the hind fashioned for the slippery rock, the foot of the lion fashioned to rend its prey, the foot of tho’horse fashioned for the solid earth, but the foot of man made to cross the desert, or climb tile tree, or scale the cliff, or walk the earth, or go anywhere lie needs to go. With that, diviue triumph of anatomy in your possession where do you walk? In what path of righteousness or what path of sin havo you set it down? Where have you left tho mark of your footsteps? Amid the petrifactions in the r icks have been found the marks of the feet of birds and beast of thousands of years ago. And God can trace out nil the footsteps of your life time, and those you made 50 years ago are as plain us those made in the last soft weather, all of them petrified for tho judg merit day. Oh, the foot! Give mo the autobiography of your foot from the time you stepped out of tho cradle until today, and 1 will tell your exact character now and what aro your prospects for the world to conic. That there might bo no doubt ..bout the fact that both these pieces of divine mechanism, hand and foot, belong to Christ’s service both hands of Christ and both feet of Christ were spiked on the cross. Right through the arch of both his feet to the hollow of his instep went the iron of torture, and from tho palm of his hand to tho back of it, and there is not a muscle or nerve or bono among tho 27 bones of hand and wrist or among tho 26 bones of the foot but it belongs to him now and forever. A Fable of Service. That is tho most beautiful foot that goes about paths of greatest usefulness, and that tho most beautiful hand that does the most to help others. I was reading of three women in rivalry about the appear ance of tho hand. And the one reddened her hand with berries and said the beauti ful tinge made hers the most beautiful. And another put her hand in the moun tain brook and said as the waters dripped off that her hand was the most beautiful. And another plucked flowers off the bank, and under the bloom contended that her hand was the most attractive. Then a poor old woman appeared, and, looking up in her decrepitude, asked for alms. And a woman who had not taken part In tho rivalry gave her alms. And all the women resolved to leave to this beggar the question as to which of all the hands pres ent was tho most attractive, and she said, “Tho most beautiful of them all is the one that gave relief to my necessities. ” And as she so said her wrinkles and rags and her decrepitude and her body disappeared, and in place thereof stood tho Christ, who long ago said, ‘‘lnasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of those ye did it unto me,” and who to purchase the service of our hand and foot here on earth had his own hand and foot lacerated.

But one thing I can’t fathom; and that is how in h —l we are going to make the Pops and Reps hatch out of the same shell. The Pops are all for silver, the Reps are all for gold—nqw. how’re you going to get the two into one party fold?” “Gee whiz!” said Ben; “you’re soft, for true; I thought you know what fusion means, you gump? In co’se you do! Why, fusion was invented —its a Tommy Watson growth—'When one party isn’t strong enough, to do the work with both.
