New York. March 3. —Public Interest in
the service* at the Academy of Music
Is eonielhinp phenomenal. Although the
arrangement is an innovation in religious
method* in New York, both as to time and
place, there is no chun h in the city to
which so many people fro or where so
much eagerness to secure admission is
displayed. The usual immense audience
was present this afternoon to hear the
famous preacher. Dr. Talmage's subject
was “New Ground,” and his text Hom
ans 15: 2°. "best 1 should build upon an
other man's foundation.”
After, with the help of others. I had
built three churches in the same city, and
not feeling called upon to undertake tho
superhuman toll of building a fourth
church, Providence seemed to point to this
place a* the field In w hich 1 could enlarge
my work, and I feel a sense of relief
amounting to exultation. W hereunto
this work will grow’ 1 cannot prophesy.
It is inviting and promising beyond any
thing I have ever touched. The churches
ore the grandest institutions this world
ever saw. and their pastors have no su
periors this side of heaven; but there is
h work which must be done outside the
churches, and to that work I join myself,
for awhile, “Lest I build on another man’s
foundation.”
The c hurch is a fortress, divinely built.
Now a fortress is for defense and for
drill, and for storing amunition. but ati
Urmy mu*t sometimes b* on the march
far outside the fortress. In the campaign
of conquering this world for Thrift the
Hme has come for an advance movement,
for a "general engagement,” for massing
the troops, for an invasion of the ene
mies’ country. Confident that the forts
are well-manned by the ablest ministry
that ever blest the church, I propose, with
others, for awhile, to join the cavalry,
#\nd move out and on for service in the
open Held.
In laying out the plan for hi* mi \ ionarv
tour. Paul, with more brains than any
of hi* contemporaries, or predecessors,
cvi successors, sought out towns and
cities which had not yet liecn preached to.
lie goes to Corinth, a city mentioned for
epiendor and vice, and Jerusalem, where
the. priesthood and Sanhedrim were ready
to leap with both feet upon the Christian
religion. He feels he has a special work
to do, and he means to do it. What was
the result? The grandest life of useful
ness that man ever lived. We modern
f'hrlstlan worker* are not apt to imitate
Paul. We build on other people’s foun
dations. If we erect a church v.t prefer
to have it filled with families all of whom
have been pious. Do we gather a Sun
day school class, we want good boys and
girls, hair combed, faces washed, man
ners attractive. So a church in this day
is apt to be budt out of other churches.
Some ministers spend all their time in
fishing in other people’s points, and they
throw the line into that church pond
and jerk out a Methodist, and throw the
line into another church pond and bring
out a Presbyterian, or there is u relig
ious row in some neighboring church, and
the whole school of fish swim off from that
pond, and we take them all in with one
sweep of the net. What is gained? Ab
solutely nothing for the general cause of
Christ. It Is only as in an army, when a
regiment is transferred from one division
to another, or from the 14th regiment to
the Wth regiment. What strengthens the
army is new’ recruits.
The fact is, this Is a big world. When
In our schoolboy days we learned the
diameter and circumferance of this planet,
we did not learn half. It is the latitude
and longitude and diameter and circumfer
ence of want and woe and sin that no fig
ures can calculate. This one spiritual
continent of wretchedness reaches across
all zones, aifd If I were called to give its
geographical boundary. I would say it Is
bounded on the north and south and east
and west by the great heart of God’s sym
pathy and love. Oh, it is a great world.
Since 8 o’clock this morning at least 80,000
have been born, and all these multiplied
populations are to be reached of the gos
pel. In England, or in Eastern American
cfties, we arc being much crowded, anti an
acre of ground is of great value, but out
west live hunderd acres Is a small farm,
end twenty thousand acres is no unusual
possession. There is a vast field here ami
everywhere unoccupied, plenty of room
more, not building on another man's
foundation. We need as churches to stop
bombarding the old iron-clad sinners tha r
have been proof against thirty years of
Christian assault, and aim for the salva
tion of those who have never yet had
one warm-hearted and point-blank invita
tion. There are churches whose buildings
might, be worth $200,000, who are not
averaging five new converts a year, and
doing less good than many a log-cabin
meeting house wdth tallow’ candles stuck
in wooden socket, and a minister w ho has
seen a college or know’ the difference
between Greek and Choctaw’. We need
churches to get into sympathy with the
great outside world, and let them know
that none are so broken-hearted or hardly
bestead that they will not be wel
comed. “No!” says some fastid
ious Christian, ”1 don’t like to be
crowded in church. Don’t put any one in
my pew.” My brother, what will you do
in heaven? When a great multitude that
no man can number assembles they will
put fifty in your pew\ What are the se
lect few to-day asembled in the Christian
churches compared with the mightier mill
ions outside of them? At least 3,000.000
people in this cluster of seaboard cities,
and not more than 200,000 in the churches"
Many of the churches are like a hospital
that should advertise that its patients
must have nothing worse than toothache
or “run-arounds,” but no broken heads, no
crushed ankles, no fractured thighs. Give
us for treatment moderate sinners, velvet
coated sinners, and sinners with a gloss
on. It is as though a man had a farm of
3.000 acres and put all his work on one
•ere. He may raise never so large ears
of corn, never so big heads of wheat, ho
would remain poor. The Church rtf God
has bestowed its chief care on one acre,
and has raised splendid men and women
In that small enclosure, but the field is
the world. That means North aid South
America. Europe. Asia and Africa, and all
the islands of the sea.
It is as though after a great battle
there were left 50.000 wounded and dying
on the field, and three surgeons gave all
their time to three patients under their
charge. The mVor general comes in and
*ays to the doctims: “Come out here and
look at the dying for lack
of surgical attendance.” “No,” *av the
three doctors. standinVthere and fanning
their patients, "wo three important
cases, here and wc are attmnding them, and
when w. are no positimely busy with
J’* r ** ta kes ■ our time to
fifes off." in this awful battle of
III? an ? sorp ov • where mllllJts have fallen
on millions, do not let us Ipend all our
n hlV?v, tal;ins * ar *‘ of fern people, and
*°rid, S ay practical!* . "Jk>, I cannot
go; I have her** * few choice eases, and
j 1 arn busy keeping off the flies.” Thor'*
ie multitude* to-day who have never
. bad any Christian worker look them in
! ihe eye. and with earnestness in ae
-ent-nation, say: "Come!'’ or they would
long ago have Inen in the kingdom. My
I friend*, religion is either a sham or a tre
mendous reality. If it he a sham, let u*
ase to have anything to do with Chris
tian association. If it be a reality, then
great populations are on their way to the
bar of God. unfitted for the ordeal, and
what ar<* we doing?
In order to reach the multitude of out
siders we must drop all technicalities out
of our religion. When we talk to people
about the hypostatic union and French
Kn< yclopedlanism, and Erastlnianlsm. and
Compfutensianlem. we are as impolitic*
and little understood as if a physician
should talk to an ordinary patient about
the pericardium, and interposal muscle
and scorbutic symptoms. Many of us
come out of the theological seminaries so
loaded up that we take the first ton years
to show our |*eople how much wo know,
and the next ten years get our people
to know as min h as we know, and at the
end find that neither of us know any
thing as we ought to know. Here are
hundreds of thousands of sinning, strug
gling. and dying people w he need to real
ize just one thing—that Jesus Christ came
to save them, and will rave them now.
Hut we go into a profound and elaborate
definition of what justification is. and
after ail th- work there are not. outside
of the learned professions, five thousand
people in the I’nited States who can tell
w’hat Justification is. I will read you the
definition:
“Justification is purely a forensic net.
the act of a judg • sitting in the forum, in
whic h the Supreme Huler and Judge, who
I is accountable to none, and who alone*
knows the manne r in whic h the ends of
his universal government can best be at-
I tained. rec kons that which was done by
the substitute, and not on account of any
thing done by them, but purely upon ac
count of thus gracious method of reckon
ing. grants them the full remission of
the-ir sins.”
Now. what is justification? T will tell
you what Justifieation is when a sinner
believes, God lets him off. One summer
in Connecticut 1 weirt to a large factory,
and I saw over the door written the words:
“No Admittance.” I enterc i and saw over
the next door: “No Admittance.” of
course I entered. I got inside and found
it a pin factory, and they were making
pins, very serviceable, fine anil useful
pins. So the spirit of exclusiveness has
practically written over the outside door
many a church: “No Admittance.” And if
the stranger enter he* finds practically
written over the second door: “No Admit
tance,” and if he goes in over all the pew
doors seems written: “No Admittance.”
while the minister stands In the pulpit
hammering out his little niceties of be
lief, pounding out the technicalities of
religion, making pins. In the most prac
tical. common-sense way. and laying aside
tic* non-essentials and the hard definitions
of religion, go out on the God-given mis
sion, telling the people what they need
and when and how they can get it.
Comparatively little effort as yet has
been made to save that large class of per
sons in our midst called sceptics, anil lie
goes to work here will not be build
ing upon another man’s foundation. There
is a great multitude of them. They are
afraid of us and our churches, for the
reason we do not know how to treat them,
one of this clas i met Christ, and hew
with what tenderness, and pathos, and
beauty, and success Christ dealt with
him: “Thou shalt love tho Lord thy God
wdth all thy heart, and wdth all thy soul,
and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength. This is the first commandment,
and the second is like to this: namely,
thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
There is no other commandment greater
thin this.” And the scribe said to him:
“Well, Master, thou has said the truth,
for there is one God, and to love him with
all the heart,and all the understanding,
and all the soul and all the strength is
mora than whole burnt offer
ings and sacrifices.” And when
Jesus saw' that he answ’ered dis
creetly, he sail unto him: “Thou art not
far from the kingdom of God.” So a scep
tic was saved in one interview. But few
Christian people treat the sceptic in that
way. Instead of taking hold of him with
the gentle hand of love, we are apt to
take him with the Iron pincers of eccles
iasticism.
Yort would not be so rough on that man
if you knew’ by what process he had lost
his faith in Christianity. 1 have known
men skeptical from the fact that they
grew up In houses where religion was
overdone. Sunday was the most awful
day of the week. They had religion driven
into them with a trip-hammer. They were
surfeited with prayer meetings. They
were stuffed and choked with chateclsms.
They were often told they were the worst
boys the parents ever knew, because they
liked to ride down hill better than read
Runyan's “Pilgrim’s Prognjss.” When
ever father and mother talked of religion
they drew down the corners of their
mouth and rolled up their eyes. If any
one thing will send a boy or girl to ruin
sooner than another, that is it. If I had
had such a father and mother. I fear T
should have been an infidel. When I was
a boy In Sunday school, at one time we
had a teacher, who, w hen we were not at
tentive, struck us over 4he head with a
New Testament, and there is a way of
using even the Bible so as. to make it of
fensive.
Others were tripped up of skepticism
from being grievously wronged by some
man who professed to be a Christian. They
had a partner in business who turned out
to be a tirst-class scoundrel, though a pro
fessed Christian. Many years ago they
lost all faith by what happened in an oil
company which was formed amid the pe
troleum excitement. The company owned
no- land, or, if they did, there was no sign
of oil produced: but the president of the
company was a Presbyterian elder, and
the treasurer was an Episcopal vestry
man. and one director was a Methodist
class-leader, and the other directors prom
inent members of Baptist and Congre
gational churches. Circulars were gotten
out tellins what fabulous prospects
opened before this company. in
nocent men nnd women who had
a little money to invest. and
that litWc their all. said' "I don’t know
anything about this company, but so
many good men are at the head of it that
it must be excellent, and taking stock
in it must be almost as good as joining
the church." So they bought the stock
and perhaps received one dividend so as
to keep them still, but after a while they
found that the company had re-organized,
and had a different president, and differ
ent treasuer, and different directors. Oth
er engagements, or iil-health, had caused
the former officers of the company, with
many regrets, to resign. And all that the
subscribers of that stock had to show for
their investment was a beautifully orna
mented certificate. Sometimes that man
looking over his old papers, comes across
that certificate, and it is so suggestive
that he vows he wants none of the relig
ion that tho presidents, and trustees, and
directors of that oil company professed.
Of course their rejection of religion on
such grounds was unphilosophieal and un
wise. 1 am told that many of the fnite.l
States army desert every year, and there
are thousands of court-martials every
year. is that anything against thV
United States government that swore them
in? And if a soldier of Jesus Christ de
sert. is that anything against the Chris
tianity which he swore to support and
defend? How do you Judge of the t-ur
rcniy of a country? By a counterfeit
bill? Oh. you must' have patience with
those who have hr- n swindled by relig
ious pretenders. I.ive in the presence of
others a frank, honest, earnest Christian
life, that they may be attracted to the

Remember scepticism always has some
reason, good or bad, for existing Goethe'*
irreMgion started when th* news came
to Germany of the earthquake at Lis
bon. Nov. 1, 1775. That sixty thousand
people should have perished In that earth
quake enl in the aft** - rising of the Tagus
so stirred his sypathies that he threw up
hi* belief in the goodness of God.
Other.* have gone into scepticism from a
natural perslstance in a-kinx the reason
why. They have b**en fearfully stabbed
of the interrogation iioint. There are so
many things they can’t get explained.
They cannot understand the trinity or
how God can be sovereign and yet man a
free agent. Neither can !. They say: ”!
don’t understand why a good God should
have let sin come into the world.” Neither
do I. You say: “Why va* that child
started in life with such disadvantages,
while others have all physical and mental
equipment?” I cannot tell. They go ou’
of church on Easter morning and say:
"That doctrine of the lesurreetion con
founded me.” So it is a mystery to me be
yond unravelment. I understand ail the
pro -esses by which men get into th** dark.
I know them all. I have traveled with
burning feet that blister*<l way. The first
word which most children learn to utter
Is, “Papa, ” or “Mamma.” but 1 think tile
first word I ever uttered was ‘Why?” I
know what it is to have a hundred mid
nights pour their darkness into one hour.
Sueh men are not to be scoffed, but helped.
Turn your back upon a drowning man
when you have the rope with which to pull
him ashore, and let that woman in the
third story of a house perish in tip* flames
when you have a ladder with which to
heir* her out and help her down, rather
than turn your back scofflngly on a sceptic
whose soul is in more peril than the bodies
of those other endangered ones possibly
can be. Oh, scepticism is a dark land.
There are men in this house who would
give a thousand worlds, if they possessed
them, to get back to the placid Vaith of ,
their fathers and mothers, and it is our
place to help them, and we may help .
them, never through their heads, but
always through their hearts. |
These skeptics, when brought
to Jesus, will be mightily effective, far
more so than those who never examined
tho evidences of t’hriatianitv. Thomas
Chalmers was once a skeptic, Robert
Hall a skeptic, Rouert Newton a skeptic,
Christmas Evans a skeptic*. But when
once with strong hand they took hold of
the chariot of the gospel, they rolled It
on with what momentum! If I address j
su<-h men and women to-day, I throw out
no scoff. I implead them by the memory !
of th good old days, when at their moth- j
er’s knee they said. “Now I law me down i
to sleep,’’ and by those days and nights of |
scarlet fever in which she watched yon, ;
giving you the medicine at just the right j
time, and turning your pillow when it
was hot, and with hands that many
years ago turned to dust, soothed away |
your pain, and with voire that you will j
never hear again, unless you join her in j
the better country, told you to never i
mind, for you would feel better by-ami- j
by, and by that dying couch where she
looked so pale and talked so slowly, catch
ing her breath between the words, and
you felt an aw ful loneliness coming over
your soul; by all that I beg you to come
bark and take the same religion. It was
good enough for her. It is good enough
for you. Nay, I have a better plea than
that. 1 plead by all the wounds, and tears,
and blood, and groans, and agonies, and
death-throes of the Son of God, who ap
proaches you this moment with torn
brow, and lacerated hand, and whipped
back, and saying: “Come unto me, all
ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I
will give you rest.*’
Again, there is a field of usefulness but
little touched occupied by those w’ho are
astray in their habits. All northern na
tions. like those of North America, and i
England, and Scotland, that is, in the j
colder climates, are devastated by alcho
hollsm. They take the fire to keep up the
warmth. In southern countries, like Ara- I
Ma and Spain, the Mood is so warm they
are not tempted to fiery liquid*. The great
,Roman armies never 'drank anything
stronger than water tinged wdth vinegar,
but under our northern climate the temp
t'atioi, to heating stimulants is most
mighty, and millions succumb. When a
man’s habits go wrong the church drops
him. the social circle drops him, good in
fluence drops him, we all drop him. Of
all the nit a who got off track, but few
ever get on again. Near my summer res
idence there is a life-saving station on
the beach. There are all the ropes and
rockets, the boats, the machinery for
getting people off shipwrecks. One sum
mer l saw- there fifteen or twenty men
who were breakfasting, after having just
escaped with their lives and nothing more.
Up and down our coasts an* built these
useful structures, and the mariners know
it, and they feel that if they are driven
into the breakers, there will be apt from
shore to come a rescue. The churches of
God ought to be so many life-saving sta
tions, not so much to help those who are
in smooth waters, but those who have
been shipwrecked. Come, let us run out
the life-boats! And who will man them?
We do not preach enough to such men;
we have not enough faith in their re
lease. Alas, if w’hen they come to hear
us, we are laboriously trying to show the
difference between sublapsarianlsm and
pupralapsarianism, while they have a
thousand vipers of remorse and despair
coiling around and biting their immortal
spirits. The church is not chiefly for good
ish sort of men whose proclivities are all
right, and who could get to heaven pray
ing anl singing in their own homes. It
is on the beach to help the drowning. Those
bad eases are the cases that God likes
to take hold of. He can save, a big sin
ner as wall as a small sinner, and when
a man calls earnestly to God for help
he will go out to deliver such a one. If
it were necessary, God would come down
from the sky, followed by all the artillery
of heaven and a million angels with
drawn swords. Get one hundred such re
deemed men In each of your churches,
and nothing could stand before them,
for such men are generally warm-hearted
and enthusiastic. No formal prayers then.
No heartless singing then. No cold con
ventionalisms then.
Furthermore, the destitute children of
the streets offer a field of work compara
tively unoccupied. The uncared-for chil
dren are in the majority in most of our
cities. Their condition was well illus
trated by what a boy in this city said
when he was found under a cart gnawing
a bone, and someone said to him: “Where
do you live?” and he answered: "Don't
live nowhere, sir!” Seventy thousand of
the children of New* York city can neither
read or write. When they grow up. if un
reformed, they will outvote your chil
dren and they will govern your children.
The whisky ring will hatch out other
whisky rings, and grog shops will kill
with their horrid stench public sobri
ety. unless the Church of God rises up
with outstretched arms and enfolds the
dying population in her bosom. Public
schools cannot do it. Art galleries cannot
do it. Blackwell’s Island cannot do it.
Almshouses cannot do it. New York
Tombs cannot do it. Ring Sing cannot
do it. People of God. wake up to your
magnificent mission! You can do it. Get
somewhere, somehow, to work.
Tho Prussian cavalry mount by put
ting their right foot into the stirrup, while
the American cavalry mount by putting
their left foot into the stirrup. 1 don't
care how you mount yo-ur war charger,
if you only get into this battle for God.
and get there scon, right stirrup or 'eft
stirrup, or no stirrup at all. The unoc
cupied fields are all around us. and why
should we build on another man’s foun
dation?
I have heard of what was called the
“thundering legion." It was in 179. a part
of the Roman army to which some Chris
tia.is belonged, and their prayers, it was
said, were answered by thunder and light
ntnic and hail and tempest, which over
threw- an invading army and saved the
empire. And I would to God that you
could be so mighty in prayer and work
that you would become a thundering le
gion. before whk h the forces* of sin
might be routed, and the gates of he-II
made to tremble. All aboard now. on the
Gospel ship! If you cannot be a captain
or a first mate, be a stoker, or a de k hand,
or ready at command to climb the ratlines.
Heave, away now. lads! Shake out the
reefs in the foretopsail! Come, oh heavenly
wind, and till the canvas! Jesus aboard
will assure our safety. Jesus on the sea
will beckon us forward. Jesus on the
shining shore will welcome us into har
bor. “And so It came to pass that they
all escaped safe to land. ’

Candler. Fla.. March 3. —Time sufficient
has now elapsed since the last severe

of the damage. There s **ms to he no
doubt at all but that fully 75 per cent, of
the budded orange trees are entirely dead
•lid will have to be rebufi!* i This means
a loss of from four to five years. The old
seedling tree* are damag'd fully 50 per
cent. They will probably bear a few
oranges this year, but there will be but
very few*. It will be many years before
there is any danger of the markets being
glutted with Florida orange*. The dead
trees are being cut down ar i growers, or
the* majority of them, will go to work to
build up their blasted groves again. The
last freeze has greatly disheartened the
people, hut there are but few that will
give up their groves. The people of Flor
ida will now diversify th ir crops and not
depend ori oranges entirely, and this will
bting about a much better condition of
things. Here In this section of the state
are hundreds of acres of th- finest straw
berry land to- he found anywhere, upon
which thousands of dollars could be made
annually if people were to engage In 'be
business, as is done in many other parts
of the state. Those who have strawberries
will soon be sending them to market, and
will have something t > carry
through year, which promises to be
rather a hard one to the most of the
people here.
