REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN¬ DAY SERMON Subject: “The Coining World’s Fair; Shall it be Made a Blessing or a Cursor Text: “They traded in thy fair*."— £ze kiel xxvil. 12. Fair* may be for the sale of goods or tor the exhibition ot goods on a small scale or a large scale, for county or city, for one nation or for all nations. My text brings us to the fairs of ancient Tyre, a city that is now extinct. Part of the city was on an island, the and part on the mainland. Alexander, eonquerer, was much embarrassed when he found so much of the city was on an island, for he had no ships. But his military genius was not to lie balked. Having marched his army to the beach, he ordered them to tear up the city on the mainland and throw it into the water and build a causeway two hundred feet wide to the island. Bo they took that part of the city which was on tho mainland and with it built a causeway of timber and brick and stone, on which his army marched to the capture of that part of the city which was on the island, as though a hostile army should put Brooklyn into the East River, and over it march to the capture of New York. That Tyrian causeway of ruins which Alexander’s army built, is still there, and by united al¬ luvial deposits has mainland, permanently that it the island to the so is no longer an island but a promontory. The sand, the greatest of all undertakers for burving cities, having covered up for the most part Baalbec and Palmyra and Thebes and Memphis and Carthage aud Babylon small and aud Luxor aud Jericho, the sand, so yet so mighty, is now gradually left of giving Tyre. rites But, of sepulture to what was oh. what a magnificent city it once was! Mistress of the sea! Queen of international commerce? All nations casting their crowns at her feet! Where we have in onr sailing vessels benches of wood, she has benches of Ivory. Where we have for our masts of ships sails of course canvas, she had sails of richest embroidery. which text is taken The chapter from my after enumerating tho richest countries in all the world f-odk says of Tyre: “They traded fair in thy fairs.” in upon a world’s at Tyre. Ezekiel leads us through one depart¬ ment and it is a horse fair. Under fed and over driven lor ages, the horses of to-day give you no idea of the splendid animals whicli, rearing and plunging and snorting and neighing, were brought down over the plank of the ships and led into the world’s fair at Tyre until Ezekiel, who was a min¬ ister of religion and not supposed to know much about horses, cried out in admiration: “They of the house of Togar mah traded in thy fairs with horses.” H ere in another department of that world’s fair at Tyre, led on by Ezekiel the prophet, we find" everything nil ablaze with precious stones. Like petrified snow- are the corals: like fragments of fallen sky are with the sapphires; all colors. and here is agate a-blush What is that aroma wo inhale? It is from chests of cedar which we open, and find them filled with all styles of fabric. But the aromatics increase as wo pass down this lane of enchantment, and here are cassia and frankincense and balm. Led on by Ezekiel tlio prophet, wo come to an of ieultural fair with a display wheat from Miunith anp Pannag, rich as that of our modern Da¬ kota or Michigan. And hero is u mineral ogical fair, with specimens of iron and silver and tin anil lead and gold.

After they had been encouraged for the last few days by flight of land birds while and floating branches of red berries, and Columbus was down in Pinion, the cabin studying the sea chart, Martin standing on deck and looking to tha southwest, cried: “Land! Land 1 Land 1” And "Gloria in Kmcelsis'’ was sung in raining tears on all the three ships of expedition. Christian Most appro¬ will priate and patriotic and be a commemorative world’s fair in 185)2. Leaving to others the discussion as to the site of such exposition—and I won¬ der not that some five or six of our cities are struggling to have it, for it will give to % any city to which it is as signed an impulse of prosperity for a hundred years—Isay, leav¬ ing to others tho selection honored. of I the particular locality to K s thus want to say some things from the point of Christian patriotism which ought to bs said, and the earlier the better, that wo get thousands of people talking in the right public direction, opinion. and I that will make healthful beg you to consider prayerfully what I feel failed upon of God as an American citizen and a* n preacher of righteousness to utter. wise, My first suggestion is that it is not aa certainly it is not Christian, to continue this wide and persistent attempt of Ameri¬ can cities to belittle aud deprecate other cities. It has been going on for years, but now the spirit seems to culminate in this dis¬ cussion as to where the World's Fair shall he held, a style of discussion which has a tenden¬ cy to injure the success of the fair as a great moral and patriotic been decided enterprise, after the There lo¬ cality has upon. is such a thing as healthful rivalry between cities, but you will bear me out in saying that there can be no good to come from the uncanny things said about each other by New York and Chicago, by Chicago and St. Louis, by Seattle, St. Paul and and all Minneapolis, through tlie by Tacoma and States by almost individuals, every two have proximate virtues cities.

New York will not get the World’s Fair by depreciating Chicago, and Chicago will not get the World s Fair by bombarding New York. Another suggestion concerning the coming exposition: let not the materialistic ana monetary idea overpower the moral and reli¬ gious. During that exposition, the first time m all their lives, there will be thousands of people try Without from other a state lands religion. who will Let see us, a by coun- an increased harmony among all denominations of religion, impress that other nationalities, as they come here year, with the superior advantage of having all denominations equal rulers in and the sight chief of government. of Europe All belong the men to the state religion, whatever it may bean be. Although Presbyterians, our last the two previous Presidents have one was an Episcopalian: and the two previous Metho¬ dists; and going further hack in that line of Presidents, we find Martin Van Buren, a Dutch Reformed; and John Quincy Adams a Unitarian; and a man's religion in this country is neither hindrance nor advantage ill the matter of political elevation. All Europe ue«l» religion that, is All thn tiling world between needs that. nlm A man's some seif and his God, aud it must not directly or indirectly Furthermore. be interfered during with. that exposition, Christian civilization will confront bar¬ barism. We shall as a nation have a greater Sizing opportunity to make an evange impression upon foreign nation alities, than would otherwise be afforded us in a quarter of a century, Let the churches of the city where the exposition is held be open every day, and prayers bo offered and sermons preached and doxologies sung. In the less than three years between this and that world’s Hoiy convocation, Ghost, let us that get the a bap¬ tism of the so rax months ot that world’s fair shall be fifty Pentecosts in one, and Instead of three thou¬ sand converted, as in the former converted. Pentecost, hundreds of thousands will be You must remember that the Pentecost mentioned in the Bible occurred when there was no printing-press, no books, no Chris¬ tian pamphlets, no influence religious newspapers, and yet the was tre¬ mendous. How many nationalities were touched? The account says: “Parthians is, and Modes and Elamites,” that people from the eastern countries; the “Phrygia and Pamphylia,” that is, west¬ ern countries- “CjTcne aud strangers of Rome, Cretes and Arabians,” that is, the southern countries; but they were all moved by tho mighty spectacle. Instead of the sixteen or eighteen tribes of chief people nations reported of at that Pentecost, all tho Europe and Asia, North and South America, in will be represented at, our world’s fair 1892, and a Pentecost here and then would mean the salvation of the round world. But, you say. we may have at that fair the people of all lands and all the machinery for gospelization, the religious but all that printing would presses not and the churches, God. Well, make a Pentecost; wo must have you can have Him. Has He not been gra¬ ciously waiting ? and nothing stands in the way but our own unbelief and indolence and sin. May God break down the barriers! The grandest opportunity for since the evangel¬ Jesus ization ot all nations Christ died on the cross will be the world’s exposition of 185)2. God may take us out of the harvest field before that, but lot it bo known through¬ out Christendom that that year, between May and Novemlier, will be tho mountain of Christian advantage, the Alpine and Himalayan ping all others height for salvation. of opportunity Instead overtop¬ of the slow Gospel process of having to send the to other land by our own Ameri¬ can missionaries, who have difficult toil in acquiring the foreign languago and then must contend with foreign prejudices, what a grand thing converted to have during able and their influ¬ visit ential foreigners in America and then have them return to their native lauds with the gioriogs tidings! Ob, for an overwhelming work of grace for the year 1893. that work beginning in tho autumn of 1889' Another- it, and it opportunity, is the duty of if pulpit our public and print¬ men see ing calling press to help them to see it, will be the at that time and place of a legal peace congress for all nations. The conven¬ tion of of North representatives and South from America, the Govern¬ ments now at Washington, is only and a type world of what wide we may have on a vast a scale at the international exposition of 1893. By one stroke the gorgon of war might be slain and buried so deep that neither trumpet or Human dispute or of arch-angel's blowing could resurrect it. When the last Napoleon called such a congress of nations many did not respond, and : those that dirt re spond wily destroyer gathered of wondering French what Republic trap that the and tho builder of a French monarchy might spring on them. But what if the most popu¬ lar government on earth—I mean the United States Government—should practically say to in all 1893, nations: will On tho hold American world’s continent, fair, we a and all nations will send to it specimens of their products, their manufactures and their arts, and we invito all the Governments of Europe, Asia mid Africa to send representa¬ tives to a peace convention that shall be held at the same time aud place, and that shall establish an international arbitration commis¬ sion to whom shall be referred all controver¬ sies between nation and nation, their decision to be final, and so all nations would be re¬ lieved from the expense of standing armies aud naval equipment, war having been made on All everlasting the nations impossibility. of the earth worth con¬ sideration would come to it. mighty men of England and Germany and France and Rus¬ sia and all tho other great nationalities, Bismarck who worships the Lord of Hosts, and Gladstone who worships the God of Peace, The fact and Is that Boulanger the who worships siok himself. nations are of drink¬ ing out of chalices made out of human skulls and filled with blood. The United States Government is the only government in the w hole world that could successfully call such a Congress. Suppose France should call it, Germany would not come; or Germany should call it, France would not come; or Russia should call it, Turkey would not come; or England should call it, nations long jeal¬ ous of her overshadowing power in Europe would not come. America, in favor with all nationalities, standing out independent and alone, is tho spot and 1893 will be the time. States, May it please please the President*® f the United may it the Secretary of State, may it please the Cabinet, may it please tho Senate and House of Representatives, may it aud please tho the people printing who presses lift and and tho churches up put down our American rulers! To them I make this timely and sol¬ emn and Christian appeal. Do you not think peoplo die fast enough with¬ out this wholesale butchery of war? Do you not think that we can trust to pneu¬ and monias palsies and aud consumptions and and apoplexies Asiatic choleras the yellow fevers work of killing them fast enough? Do you not think that the greedy, he wide open jaws of the grave ought to satisfied if filled by natural causes with hundreds of thousands of corpses a year?

It may be well enough for gradu ating day students about of colleges on commencement of but do to orate the poetry war. not talk about the poetry of war to the men of the Federal or Confederate armies who were at the front, or to some of ns who, as members of the Christian commission, saw the ghastly hospitals at Antietam and lord Hagers¬ of town. Ah! you may worship the Hosts,-1 worship the “God of Peace, Lord Jesus who brought Christ, that again from the dead onr sheep.” War is great accursed Shepherd of the and it . an monster was born in the lowest cavern of perdition, and I pray that it may speedily descend to the place from which it arose, its last sword and shield and musket rattling on the bottom of the red hot marl of hell. Let there be called a peace convention for 185)2, with delegates sent by all the decent Governments of Christendom, and while they are in session, if you should some night go out and look into the sky above the exposition build¬ ings, you may find that the old gallery of crystal, that was taken down after the Beth¬ lehem anthem of eighteen centuries ago was sung out, angelic is rebuilt again in the clouds, and the same singers are returned with the same librettos of light t to chant “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.” Again, I suggest in regard to the World’s Fair that, while appropriate places are pre¬ pared for all foreign exhibits, we make no room for the importation of foreign vices. America has enough of its own, and we need no installments of that kind. A world’s fair will bring all kinds of people, good and bad. The good we must prepare to welcome, the bad we must prepare to shun. The attempt will again be made in 1893, as in 1876, to break up our American Sabbaths. That attempt was made at the Phila¬ The delphia American Centennial, Sabbath but is was the best defeated. kept Sabbath on earth. We do not want it broken down, and substituted in the place thereof the Brussels Sabbath, the Vienna Sabbath, the St. Sabbaths, Petersburg Sabbath or Sab any of the foreign I think the which Lord are no baths at all. is more than generous in His asking service. only fifty-two You days out of the 365 for let the Sabbath go and with it will go your Bible, and after that your liberties, and your children or your gran dohildren will be here in America under a despotism as bad as in those lands where they turn the Lord’s day into wassail and frolic. Among those who come there will be, as at other expositions, lordly people who will bring their vices with them. Princes Among the Dukes and Duchesses and and Princesses of other lands are some of the best men and women of all the earth.
