DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON
The Eminent Divine's Sunday
Discourse. *
“Sectarianism” It the Subject - The
Church of God Divided Into a Great
Number of Denomination*—The Cause*
Bis® try—Kells of Intolerance.
Tl ” : "Then said they unto him, 8ay,
now Shibboleth, and he said Slbboleth;
m? u d * rame to pronounce It
right. Then they took him and slew him
at the passages of Joadan.”—Judges xil.,6.
Do you notice the difference of pronun
ciation between shibboleth and slbboleth?
A very small and unimportant difference,
you say. And yet, that difference was the
difference between life and death for a
great many people. The Lord's people,
Gilead and Ephraim, got Into a great light,
and Ephraim was worsted, and on the re
treat came te the fords of the river Jordan
to cross. Order was given that all Eph-
ralmites coming there be slain. But how
?puUi found out who were Ephraim-
Itos? They wero detected by thoir pronun
ciation. Shibboleth was a word that stood
for river. The Ephraimites had a brogue
ftnd wheu they tried to say
•shibboleth” always left out the sound of
»it was asked that they say
shibboleth they said slbboleth, and were
8 i ."Then 8 ^ d th 0 y unto him, say now
shibboleth; and he said slbboleth, for he
could not frame to pronounce It right.
Then they took him and slew him nt the
passages of Jordan.” A very small differ-
ance, you say, between Gilead an<f Eph
raim, and yet how much Intolerance about
that small difference? The Lord’s tribes
in our time—by which I mean the different
denominations of Ohristinns—sometimes
magnify a very small difference, and the
only difference between scores of denomin
ations to-day is the difference between
shibboleth and slbboleth
The Church of God is divided Into % great
number of denominations. Time would
fall me to tell of the Calvinists, and the Ar-
minlans, and the Sabbatarians, and the
Baxteriaus, and the Dunkers, and the
Shakers, and the Quakers, and the Metho
dists, and the Baptists, and the Episcopal
ians, and the Lutherans, and the Congre-
gationalists, aud the Presbyterians, and the
Spiritualists, and a score of other denomi
nations of religionists, some of them found
ed by very good men, some of them found
ed bv very egotistic men, some of them
founded by very bad men. But as I de
mand for myself liberty of conscience, I
must give that same liberty to ovory other
man, remembering that he no more differs
from me than I differ from him. I advo
cate the largest liberty In all religious be
lief and form of worship. In art, In poli
tics, lu morals, and in religion, let there be
no gag law, no moving of the previous
question, no persecution, no intolerance.
You know that the air and the water
keep pure by constant circulation, and I
think there is a tendency in religious dis
cussion to purification and moral health.
Between the fourth and the sixteenth oen-
turies the church proposed te make people
think aright by prohibiting discussion, and
bv strong censorship of the press, and
ruck, and gibbet, and hot lead down the
throat, tried to make people orthodox; but
it was discovered that you cannot change
a man’s belief by twisting off his head, nor
make a ihnn see differently by putting an
awl through hfs eyes. There is something
In a raan’d conscience which will hurl off
the mountain that you threw upon it, and
unsinged of the fire, out of the llame will
make red wings on which the martyr will
mount to glory.
In that time of which I speak, botween
the fourth and sixteenth centuries, peo
ple went from the house of Qod into the
most appalling iniquity, and right along
by consecrated altars there were tides of
drunkenness nnd licentiousness suoh as
the world never heard of, and the very
sewers of perdition broke loose and flood
ed the churoh. After awhile the printing
press was freed, and it broke the shackles
of the human mind. Thoq there came a
large number of bad books, and where
there wus one manjhostlle to the Christian
rcljgipo* there were twenty men ready to
advocate it; so 1 have not any nervousness
in regard to this battle going on between
Truth and Error. The Truth will con
quer just as certainly as that God is
stronger than the Devil. Let Error run if
you only let Truth run along with it.
Urged on by skeptic’s shout ana transcen
dentalism spur, let it run. God’s angels
of wrath are in hot pursuit, and quicker
than eagle’s beak clutches out a nawk’s
heart, God’s vengeance will tear it to
pieces.
I propose to speak to you of sectarian
ism—its origin, its evils, and its cures.
There are those who would make us think
that this monster, with horns and hoofs,
is religion. I shall chase it to Its hiding
place, and drag it out of the caverns of
darkness, and rip off its hide. But I want
to make a distlnoMon between bigotry and
the lawful fondness for poouliar religious
beliefs and forms of worship. I have no
admiration for n nothingarian.
In a world of such tremendous vicissi
tude and temptation, and with a soul that
must after awhile stand before a throne of
insufferable brightness, in n day when tho
rocking of the mountains and the flaming
of the heavens and the upheaval of the seas
shall bo among the least of the excite
ments, to give account for every thought,
word, action, preference, and dislike—that
man is mad who has no religious prefer
ence. But our early education, our physi
cal temperament, our mental constitution,
will very much decide our form of wor
ship.
A style of psalmody that may please me
muy displease you. Somo would liko to
have a minister in gown and bands and
surplice, nnd others prefer to have a min
ister in plain citizen’s apparel. Some are
most impressed when a little ohild is pre
sented at the altar aud sprinkled of tho
waters of u holy benediction “in the name
of the Father, aud of tho Son, and of the
Holy Ghost,” aud others aro more impressed
when the penitent comes up out of the
river, his garments drlppiug with tho
waters of a baptism which signiHee the
washing away of sin. Lot either have his
own way. One man likes no noise in
prayer, not a word, not a whisper. An
other inan, just us good, prefers by gestic
ulation and exclamation to express his de
votional aspirations. One is just as good
us tho other. “Every man fully persuuded
in his own mind.”
George, Whltofleld was going over a
Quaker rather roughly for somo of his re
ligious sentiments, aud tho Quaker said:
“George, I am as thou art: I am for bring
ing all men to tho hope of the Gospel;
therefore, if thou wilt not quarrel with me
about my broad brim, I will not quarrel
with thee about thy black gown. George,
give me thy hand.”
In tracing out tho religion of sectarian
ism or bigotry I And that a great deal of it
comes from wrong education in the home
circle. There are parents who do not think
it wrong to caricature and jeer the peculiar
forms of religion in the world, and de
nounce other sects and other denomina
tions. I could mention the names of prom
inent ministers of the Gospel who spent
their whole lives' bombarding other de
nominations and who Jived to tee their
children preach the Gospel in those very
denominations. But it is often the case
that bigotry starts in a household, and
that the subject of it never recovers.
There are tens of thousands of bigots ten
years old.
Bigotry is often the child of ignorance.
You seldom llnd a man with large intellect
who is a bigot, It is the man who thinks
he knows a great deal, but does not. That
man is almost alwuys a bigot. The whole
tendency of education aid civilization is
to bring a man out of that kind of stute of
mind aud heart.
So I have set before ysu what I oonsider
to be the causes of bigotry. I have sot be
fore you the origin of this great evil
tint of all, It cripples Investigation. Ton
an wrong, and I am right, and that end*
It. No taste tor exploration, no eplrlt of
investigation. From the glorious nslm of
Clod's truth, over which an archangel
might By from eternity to eternity and not
naoh the limit, the man shnta himself ont
and dies, a blind mole under a corn-shook.
While eaoh denomination of Christians
Is to present all the truths of the Bible, It
seem to me that Ood has given to eaoh de
nomination an especial mission to give
particular emphasis to some one doctrine;
nnd so the Calvinlstlo churches must pre
sent the soverelguty of Ood, and the Ar-
mlnlan churohes must present man's tree
agenoy, and the Episcopal ohurohes must
present the Importance of order and solemn
ceremony, and the Baptist churches must
present the necessity of ordlannoes, and
the Congregational ohurohes must present
tho responsibility of the Indlvldgnl mem
ber, ana the Methodist ohurohes mum show
what holy enthusiasm, hearty congrega
tional singing can accomplish. While
each denomination of Christians must set
forth all the doctrines of the Bible, I feel
It Is especially Incumbent upon eaoh de
nomination to put particular emphasis on
some one doctrine.
Another great damage done by (be sec
tarianism and bigotry of theohuroh Is that
It disgusts people with the Christina relig
ion. Again bigotry and sectarianism do
great damage In tbe fact that they hinder
the triumph of the Oospel. Oh, how muoti’
wasted ammunition! How many men of
splendid Intslleot have given their whole
life to controversial disputes when, If they
had given their life to somethtng practical,
they might have been vastly useful! Sup
pose, while I speak, there were n common
enemy coming up the bay, and all the forts
around the harbor began to Ore Into eaoh
other—you would ory out "National suloldol
Why don't those forts blase away In one
direction, and that against the common
enemy?"
Besides that, It you want to build up any
denomination, you will never build It up
by trying to pull somo other down. Intol
erance never put anything down. How
muoh has Intolerance accomplished, for In
stance, ngulnst the Methodist Church? For
long years her ministry were forbidden the
pulpits of Great Britain. Why was It that
so many of thorn preached In tho fields?
Simply beoauso they oould not get In the
ohurches. And the name of the churoh
was given In derision and as a sarcasm.
The critics of the ohuroh said, "They havo
no order, they have no method In their
worship;" and the crltlos. therefore, In
Irony, called them "Methodists.”
I am told that In Astor Library, Now
York, kept as curiosities there are seven
hundred and seven books and pamphlets
against Methodism. Did Intolerance stop
that churoh? No; It Is either first or second
amid the denominations of Christendom,
her missionary stations In all parts of the
world, her men not only Important In re*
Uglous trusts, but Important also In secular
trusts. Church marohlng on and the mors
Intolerance against It the faster It mnrohod.
What did Intolerance accomplish against
the Baptist Churoh? If laughing scorn and
tirade oould have destroyed the nburoh It
would cot have to-day a disciple left. Tbe
Baptists were burled out of Boston In oldea
times. Those who sympathized with them
were Imprisoned, and when u petition was
offered asking lenlenoy In their behalf, all
the men who signed it were Indloted. Has
Intolerance stopped the Baptist Churoh?
The last statistics In regard to It showed
forty-four thousand ohurohes and four
million communloants. Intolerance never
put down anything.
In England a law was made qgalnst the
Jew. England thrust back tbe Jew and
thrust down tho Jew. and declared that no
Jew should hold official position. Whut
come of It? Were the Jews destroyed?
Was tltolr religion overthrown? No. Who
became Prime Minister of England? Who
was next to the throne? Who was higher
than the throne because he Was counsellor
and adviser? Disraoll, a Jew. What were
we celebrating In all our churohes as well
ns synagogues only a few years ago? The
one hundredth birthday of Montollore, the
great Jewish philanthropist. Intolerance
never yet [ml down anything. "
I think we may overthrew the severe
sectarianism and bigotry lu our hearts,
and In the churoh also, by realizing that
all the denominations of Christians have
yielded noble Institutions and noble men.
There Is nothing that so stirs my soul as
this thought. One denomination yielded
a Robert Hall and an Adonlram
Judson; another yielded a Latimer and
a Melville; another yielded John Wesley
nnd the blessed Summerfleld, while our
own denomination yleldw' John Knox
and the Alexanders—meo( whom the
world was not worthy. No> say, If we
are honest and fair-minded t' a, when we
come up In the presened of I .eh churohes
and suoli denominations, • although they
may be different from our own, we ougbt
to admire them, and we ought to love and
honor them. Churches whloh can produce
suoh men, and auoh large hearted oharity,
and such magnlBaent martyrdom, ought to
win oar nffeotlon—at any rate, our respeot.
So come on, ye six hundred thousand
Episcopalians In this country, and ye four
teen hundred thousand Presbyterians, and
ye four million Baptists, and ye Bve mil
lion Methodists—come on; shoulder to
shoulder we will march loathe world’s con-
3 uest; for all nations are to be 'saved, and
od demands that you and I help. For
ward, the whole lino! In tho Young Men’s
Christian Assooiatlons, In the Bible So
ciety, In theTraotSoolety, lu the Foreign
Missionary 8ooloty, shoulder to shoulder
all denominations.
Ferhaps I might foroibly illustrate this
truth by calling your attontiou to un inci
dent which took place twenty-live years
ago. One Monday mofnlng at about two
o’clock, while her nine hundred passen
gers wero Bound asleep in hor berths
dronmlng of home, the steamer Atlantic
crashed into Mars’ Head. Five hundred
souls in ten minutes landed in eternity!
Oh, what a sconel Agonized men and wo
men running up and down the gangwnys
and clutching for tho rigging, nnd tho
plungo of tho helpless steamer, and the
clapping of the hands or the merciless sea
over the drowning und the dead, threw
two contlnoats into terror. Hut see this
brave quartermaster pushing out with tho
life-line until lie gets to the rock; nnd see
these Ilshermen gathering up the ship
wrecked and tnklng them Into tho onbius
and wrapping them in flannels snug nnd
warm; aud see that minister of tho Gospel
with three other men getting Into a
life-boat and pushing ont for the '
wreck, pulling awnv across the ;
surf, and pulling away until they hud saved I
ono more man and then gutting back with I
him to the shore. Can those men ever for
got that night? And can they forget their
companionship in peril, compunlonshlp In
struggle, oompanloushlp In awful catas
trophe and rescue? Noveri Neverl In
whatever part of the earth they meet, they
will bo friends when they montlon the
story of that night when tho Atlantic
struck Mars’ Head. Well, my friends,
our world has goao Into a worse ship,
wreck. Sin drove It on the rooks. Tho
old ship has lurched and tossod lu the
tempests of six thousand years. Out with
the llfe-llnel I do not care what denomina
tion rows it. Side by side, In the memory
of common hnrdshlps, and common trials,
nnd common prayers and common tears
lot us be brothers forever.
Dead Brothers In Anna.
Two brothers, Mortimer and Emmett
Huffman, sons of D. C. Huffman, of In
dianapolis, Ind., wero killed at Santiago.
The family moved from Luwrencoburg'
Ind., to Indianapolis several years ago and
at that city a few months since Edna tho
only daughter, committed suicide because
her lover hud killed himself after a misun
derstanding with his sweetheart. Later
Mrs. Huffman ended her life with carbolio
acid while grieving over the death of her
daughter, and now tho sons have lost their
lives on Cuban soil lighting for tho honor
of thoir country.

CONFIDE IN AWOMAN.
Women may write about
avoid the
their troubles to
Mrs. Pinkham and
The questions asked of a woman by a male
physician are embarrassing and frequently re
volting to a sensitive nature. In consequence
the whole truth is not told! This makes it dif
ficult for female troubles to be successfully
treated, and is the reason so many women grow
worse rather than better.
Mrs. Lucy A. Lqughery of New
Lebanon, Ind., describes how wretched
she was until she received Mrs. Pink-
ham’s help:
Dish Mrs. PiXBnSMf—X propped myself In a chair and
Wrote to you, and aa soon as I commenced to take your Vege
table Compound I began to Improve. I had suffered with
severe pains in my hips, back aud head. The doctor Bald I
had bladder trouble and falling of the womb. I had spells
when, If I did not sit down, I would fall. I was sleepy all tho
time. I was also troubled with lcucorrhcca and Itching piles.
People thought that my end was near. Had It not been for
Lydia K. Plnkham’a Vegetable Compound and advice, I would
havo been dead and hurled long ago. I hope that this letter
may bo the means of helping ull women who suffer us I did.
Women understand women better than
men can. The whole truth is freely told
to Mrs. Pinkham, and women only see the
letters received by her at Lynn, Mass,
Her advice is freely offered.
Here is a convincing letter from a
woman in Bethlehem, Pa.:
Dear Mils. Pinkham: — Words cannot express my
gratitude for the good that your Vegetable Compound
has done me. I have taken five bottles, and feel bet
ter in every respect. Menses heretofore lasted too
long and were very profuse, and made me very weak.
Your Compound is a miracle. Before writing to you
I had tried doctor's medicine, but of no avail. I
would not give up your Compound for female com
plaints for all tho doctor’s medicine in the world.
My friends want to know what makes me look so
well. I do not hesitate one minute in telling them
what has brought about this wonderful change.
I cannot sing its praises enough. I hone every
one who suffers as I have will give Lydia E. Pink ham’s
Compound a trial; and I know that, if taken according to
directions, it will cure.—Mrs. Edwin Eurio, 413 Church
Street, Bethlehem, Pa.
All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham’s counsel.
Female troubles are real troubles, and must be treated understand
ing^. For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham’s advice and Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound have been helping women to be strong
and well, more than a million women have been benefited by it.
