A DISCOURSE BY
DeWITT TALMAGE. ON
SUNDAY MORNING, AUG. 28.
THE KATIOVS WOE.
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your
God.—Isaiah xl., 1.
This reiterated command to the ministers
of religion centuries ago is just as appropri
ate this terrible morning while we are await
ing tidings from the suffering couch of our
Chief Magistrate. “The President shot!')
was sounded through the rail-train as we
halted a few minutes on the morning of July
a, at Williamstown, Mass., the place at which
he the President was expected in three days.
“Absurd and impossible,” I said. I asked
then, as I ask you now, why should any one
want to kill him? He had nothing but that
which he had earned with his own brain and
hand. He had fought his own way up from
country home to college hall, and from col
lege hall to House of Representatives, and
from House of Representatives to the Senate
Chamber, and from the Senate tothePresi
dential chair. Why should any one want to
kill him? He was not a despot who had been
treading on the rights of the people. There
was nothing of the Nero or the Robespierre
in him. He had wronged no man. He was
free and happy himself, and wanted all the
world free and happy. Why should any one
want to kill him? He had a family to shep
herd and educate, a noble wife and a group
of little children leaning on his arm and hold
ing his hand, and who needed him for many
years to come. If any one must shoot him,
why shoot him then, just after, with indes
cribable perplexity and fatigue, he had
launched his Administration and was off for
a few days of recreation, which he had so
dearly earned? How any man could take
steady aim at such a good, kind, sympathetic
heart, and draw the trigger and see him fall,
is inexplicable. But the deed is done. There
is a black shadow on every hearthstone in
America. It seems as if there were one dead
in each house. Again and again we have
prayed es we prayed this morning, “Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass from us.’*
God will hear our prayer, if not in one way,
then in another. God’s way is sometimes
different from man’s way, but it is always
the best way. I am thankful to my friends
who have sent me a great multitude of tele
grams this morning showing their interest in
this subject—telegrams from gentlemen who
are my friends, and from others who are
strangers; official telegrams from the public
offices of telegraphy; and they give a ray of
hope. Who knows but our President may
come forth again and ride through these very
streets in triumph? God grant it But the
indications are not in that direction. I have
hastened before my time of expected return
because I wanted in your presence to obey
the text “Com'ort ye, comfrrt ye my peo-
f le, saith your God.” While 1 comfort you
must comfort my own soul, for no public
event has ever so overwhelmed me. I could
dwell on the aggravations of this event, and
say wbat a pity that he could not have car
ried out the excellent policy proposed, what
a pity that he could not longer have enjoyed
the high honor bestowed by the suffrages of
the people, what a pity that he should go out
of life by the hand of violence, what an aw
ful thing for his family, and ttae nation, and
the world if he should die. But instead of
dwelling upon the aggravations I shall obey
my text, “Comfort ye, comfort ye my peo
ple,” and present only the alleviations of this
stupendous horror.
Alleviation the first: James A. Garfield is
prepared to exchange worlds if God sees fit
to call him. Long ago he settled that matter.
He was not dependent for happiness upon the
course of a bullet or the whim of an assassin.
On his knees, and in days of health, and with
deliberation, he had made all right for eter
nity. There has been nothing of cant or
whining, or lugubriousness in bis religion,
but a manly, out-and-out prosession of faith
in God. Yea, he has preached this very gos
pel. A minister said to me the other day: “I
heard him preach! he preached for me in my
own pulpit.” 1 said: ‘-What style of sermon
was it?” He responded: “Excellent—excel
lent.” But in all places he had preached—in
Wall street, to the excited throng the day
after Lincoln was shot—at Chickamauga,
among the wounded soldiers—in the congress
of the United States, in many a noble speech.
Religion was with him no new thing. When
a college boy, and encamped among the
mountains for summer recreation, at even
tide he takes out his Bible and says: “Boys,
at this time of evening I am apt to read a
passage of the Scripture; if you would like
to hear it, I will read you a chapter now!”
And then one of his comrades was called up
on for prayer, and they all knelt in their
summer tent. The last thing be did before
leaving Mentor for Washington was to take
the sacrament of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
tears of emotion rolling down (he cheeks
of the communicant. Tne first opportunity
be bad after he. was shot he declared to my
friend Dr. Sutherland that he trusted all in
the Lord's hand, and was ready to die or to
live. S'»rely he was ready then. After these
eight weeks of purifying distress he is ready
now. I want all the world to mark that this
illustrious bed, if it be a deathbed—illustri
ous for patience, illustrious for courage, illus
trious for gentleness—is no infidel’s deathbed,
no scoffer’s deathbed,no profligate’s deathbed,
but in the most radiant sense a Christian
deathbed. Though canopied ahd surrounded
with the elegance of a ruler’s mansion,it is the
same kind of pillow that your old Christian
father and mother died on, and the same pil
low which shall be offered in our last sickness
however hum) Is our lot may be. It puts me
more than ever in love with the oid gospel,
the gospel of the One who died at the hands
of cruel assassins. O Thou assassinated
Cnrist! by Thine own wounds in the side,and
the feet, and the brow, pity the bead, the
feet, the side, the physical anguish of our
beloved President! Tbere have been other
Christian men in the Presidential chair of
this country, but the most pronounced Chris
tian since the days of W ashington in the
Presidential chair, is James A. Garfield. If
he go—God forbid that he should go now—
but if he go, he goes straight to the bosom of
a merciful God. Death will be promotion.
He will lose nothing, but gain everything.
On the steps of the capitol, that stormy day
in March, he took the oath of high office. If
he go now, at the gate of heaven he will take
the crown of triumph- Whether he live or
die, I shout for him, “Victory, through our
Lord Jesus Christ!”
Alleviation the second: His family will I e
magnificently provided for. It is an awful
thing when the bread-winner of a family
falls if there be no estate left and the wite
must go forth, with her helpless children at
her back, to fight for a livelihood. The
mother, weak and sick with long watching,
goes out to look for a place, and the children
are taken by friends, who, perhaps, get tired
of the burden they assumed under sudder im
pulse of sympathy. But the more than $150,-
000 already subscribed to the Garfield fund
are a hint that there is not one of us amid the
fifty millions in America who will allow that
afflicted family to suffer need. If this stroke
couie, the widow, the children, the aged
mother will be the sacred charge of this na
tion. I see so many bereft women in the aw
ful struggle for bread, dying by inches and
finding no rest until they get inside the grave,
that I am sure I am right when I present
among the alleviations of tb'S great sorrow
the complete financial deliverance of our
Pi esident’s family.
Alleviation the third: If our President die,
the nation, without a moment’s halting, will
march right on its career of prosperity. The
death of rulers in other lands often means
bloody revolution. This nation endured the
death of Presidents Harrison and Taylor and
Lincoln when it was not half as strong as it
is now, and it will not be discomfited by this
calamity. It will take more than one mur
derous wretch to stop this nation when God
commands it to march on. If on that awful
2d of July the President had been instantly
slain, I know not what would have occurred.
There would have been other pistol shots,
and panic, and perhaps national delirium.
How good God was to spare our President
these two months until the nation could
gather its equipoise!—for I tell you that
while the heart of the nation is very sore, its
bead is level. There will be but one life
taken, and that by the hand of the law. I
have no admiration for the organizations
that I hear are forming to tear' down the
Washington jail and maul (he desperado.
No, no. Let the judge of the court take his
place, and the jury be impaneled, and the
witnesses testify, and the verdict be rendered,
and the judge, amid a silence like the grave,
give the sentence, and the scaffold be raised,
and with a stout rope this accursed Guiteau
be hung by the neck until he be dead! Ail
that excitement will soon be in the rear, and
the nation, chastened by its afflictions, will
move on and up. “But,” you say, “what if
the President die, what of his successor?” 1
answer, I have no acquaintance with the one
who would be the incoming President, but 1
beg of you, the American people, give him a
fair chance; do as you would like to oe done
by if you were put in the same crisis. The
nation would make nothing by throwing any
Ot
impediments in bis way. Others make
prophecy in regard to this incoming Presi
dent in case of the death of our present ruler.
I make a prophecy. They make prophecy
from a political standpoint. I make mine
from a religious standpoint. If our Presi
dent die, jndging from wbat seems God’s
design of kindness to this nation, I think he
will give especial blessing for especial emer
gency, and the chief ideas of President Gar
field’s administration will be carried out by
President Arthur’s administration. There
are men now in the Cabinet who have inau
gurated such a great work that they will
certainly be retained. Postmaster-General
James has sent such consternation into tbe
scoundrels of the Star route, saving our
country millions of dollars, and making his
department more illustrious than have any
of his predecessors, that I know his hand will
be kept in that reformation. Secretary
Windom has wrought wbat merchants and
bankers all over the land have called a mira
cle of financiering, and I am sure he will not
be dethroned while he is saving the land
more millions than I dare to state. Robert
Lidcoln, secretary of war, admired by all
parties, first for his own sake, and next for
his martyred father’s sake, will, I am sure,
continue in the councils of the nation. And
others of the Cabinet whose brilliant and
world-renowned services cannot afford to be
stopped will stay in their places, and with all
the Episcopal churches of America, by the
command of their liturgy, praying Sabbath
by Sabbath for the President of the United
States, and all the non-liturgical churches of
America uniting in the same supplication, I
am sure upon the new chief magistrate would
come straight from God the spirit of good
government. You say that his position, if
called to it, will be one of great delicacy. I
know it, but it will one of unlimited end un
paralleled opportunity. Mark that. Fellow-
citizens, fellow-patriots, fellow-Christians,
fellow-mourners, now is the time to trust
God.
Alleviation the fourth: If our President
dies, he dies at what must be the best time.
It does not seem to suit me, it does not seem
to suit you,but God’s time is always the best.
Do you say this is the teaching of fatalism ?
Ohl no; it is the teaching of your Bible and
my Bible that God sets the imit of our life.
Had it been for the best, the President by this
time would have been amid the cool sea-
breezes of Long Branch. Men with more
bullets in them and in more directions are
walking your streets to-day. If he die—God
avert the sorrow]—if he die he goes at the
time when he has the lov? of s|l tbe people,
if he live, he could not bean exception to the
universal rule that a brisk and decisive and
reformatory administration rouses rancor
and invective. Look up the files of the news
papers and see what surges of obloquy rolled
over Lincoln, and Madison, and Monroe, and
Jefferson, and Washington. Do you sup
pose Mr. Garfield could have carried out bis
intention of extirpating Mormonism and that
there would have been no wincing under the
national surgery? He had other plans revo
lutionary for good. It seems to me he suf
fered enough abuse in the political campaign
of last autumn to suffice for one lifetime. If,
in addition to that, there should be the in
sults of three or four years of contumely, it
would be more than his share of bombard
ment. What is called the license of the print
ing-press is getting to be something damna
ble. If James A. Garfield now dies, he dies
in time to escape more insult than was ever
heaped upon any of his predecessors; for by
so much as he proposed greater reforms, he
must have had to endure worse outrage. 1
was with him a few days before the bioody
assault. I never saw a more anxious or per
turbed countenance, and it seemed a relief
to him to talk to my child, turning his back
on the perplexities of state, What he has es
caped, or seems about to escape, God only
knows. The storm is lulled. If he goes,ours
will be the grief—his tne congratulation. Six
months seems to be a very short administra
tion, but in that six months he has accom
plished what forty years of his predecessors
failed to do—the complete and eternal pacifi
cation of the North and South. There are
more public meetings of sympathy in the
South than in the North on this subject. His
sick-bed, in eight weeks, has done more for
the sisterhood of States than if he had lived
out eight years, namely, two terms of the
Presidency. The North, the South, the East,
the West stand on the four sides of his bed
looking into each other’s eyes with a kindli
ness that never before characterized them. If
he expire, do not think his administration,
because of its brevity, is a failure. There has
gone out from that sick-room an influence
that will be felt as long as the American
Government continues. Oh! measure not a
man’s life by days, or months, or years;
measure it by the sweep of its influence. Out
of six months of time a good man may build
an eternity.
Alleviation the fifth: This calamity makes
the business of office-seeking disgustingly dis
reputable. Guiteau was no more crazy than
thousands of other place-hunters. He had
been refused an office, and he was full of un
mingled and burning revenge. There was
nothing else the matter with him. It was
just this: “You haven’t given me what I
want—now I’ll kill you?” For months after
each Presidential inauguration the hotels of
Washington are roosts for these buzzards.
They are tbe crawling vermin of this nation.
Guiteau was no rarity. There were hun
dreds of Guiteaus in Washington after the
ne'a of Yorktown must’stab. National con
test about slavery must be settled, but a mil
lion brave Northern and Southern men must
die. Official patronage is to be regulated, but
James A. Garfield is to be assassinated. Alas!
alas! without the shadow of blood there
seems to be no reformation for the Buffering
State and no atonement for the sin-cursed
world. It seems for every reformation there
must be a Messiah born in a manger and dy
ing ou a cross.
Alleviation the sixth; This calamity has
resulted in an outburst of sympathy glorious
and sublime. There was never anything like
it since the world stood. You tell me this is
a selfish world, and it is every man for him
self, and there is no kindness or generosity
left. You make a mistake. Throne and cot
tage, Victoria and the village schoolgirls,
parlor and kitchen, trans-Atlantic and cis-
Atlantic. trans-Pacific ana cis-Pacific, Pro
testantism and Roman Catholicism, Eastern
hemisphere and Western hemisphere, have
my voice, by pen, by telephone, by telegram,
by day, by night, poHred forth sympathy
for our President, and his family, and the
nation. There never has been anything like
it. That man expressed the feeling of many
in this country when last week he offered to
spare part or all the blood from his veins, if
it was necessary, to invigorate the President
We go back to ancient history to find a scene
like that, and we speak of it in poetry and in
song. We need not go so far back now.
There are men here to-day who, wrought
upon bv the same power in this great sorrow,
would bare their arm for the lancet, crying,
like that old hero of centuries ago, ‘'Pour
my blood into his veins, that be die not”
Ob! 1 think we must be brothers ahd sisters
all, I think that all nations must belong to
one family, and that they must have the
same great mother—God. A little foretaste
this of the good time when all misunderstand
ing shall cease, and everybody shall say
pleasant things about everybody else, and
the embroidered eagle and lion and bear will
be taken off the banners, and there shall be
substituted the lamb and the dove. How
strange that one sick bed should have made
a millennium! The President’s son was said
to be keeping a scrap-book with all the ex
pressions of sympathy and kindness, that he
might show them to his father after he got
well. Unsuccessful attempt! No book that
ever went forth from earthly bindery would
be large enough to contain the story, it will
require the infinite book of God’s remem
brance to keep the record of the earthly and
celestial sympathy that has hovered these
long, dreadful weeks over the emaciated
form of our suffering President.
Alleviation the last: The fact that th's
nation has impressed upon it as never before
the uncertainty of human life. Starting out
on a holiday tour—coming back in an ambu
lance. Strong health no warrant against fa
tality. The President had a model physique.
Out of a hundred men you would have select
ed him as the most healthy Fine, intellect
no warrant. He was decidedly the most
brilliant mind that ever occnpied tjhe White
House. Able to select wbat food he would,
what residence he would, what defense he
would, yet we have been told more than once
during the last two or three days that he is
dying. Out of all this come lessons of perpet
ual readiness. It was a wonderful eulogy
day before yesterday pronounced by the sur
geons when they said: “There is no need of
telling him he has to die, for he said at the
start he had no preparations to make.” Be
you also ready, so that, whether by flying
bullets, or falling scaffold, or colliding rail-
trains, or in gradual decease of ordinary sick
ness, you be called away.
I must leave until next Sabbath morning
many things I want to say on this stupend
ous subject. Then I will tell you, if the Lord
will, wbat this nation ought to do. I have
this morning tried, at the behe-t of my text,
to comfort you by the rehearsal of the alle
viations of the national calamity. But after
all there will remain in all our hearts a grief
for many a day. 1 say I know just what
you all feel: Oh! that he only could get well.
How we would ring the bells, and thunder
the cannon, and set the night afire with pyro
technic display. Ohl if he only could get
-well ..fiat it -does. aot-sesm to -
crisis—although I have been hopeful until
now—that he will recover. I fear the mes
sage very soon will come shuddering along
the lines. “President Garfield is dead 1” If
so, then, with the pomp of great processions,
and the tolling of bells, and the booming of
minute guns, his silent form will move
through these great cities towards his West
ern home. He started from it with the con
rratulations of his country neighbors only a
few months ago. They will at the same de
pot take up his palled casket, and with blind
ing tears carry it to the quiet graveyard,
and lay it down among his old friends. We
have no Westminster Abbey in which to
bury kings, but we have a great national
heart in which to enshrine those who have
suffered for our land. Into that great shrine
of the national heart we will carry our be
loved President, and lay him down beside
Adams, and Lincoln, and Washington, and
the other mighty men who loved God and
toiled for the betterment of the race. Then
we will sound forth, partly in requiem and
partly in grand march of triumph, the words
which Garfield employed after another fa
mous assassination: “The Lord reigneth.
Though clouds and darkness are around
about Him, righteousness and judgment are
the habitations of His throne.” God save
the President! God save the nation!
inauguration, except that they bad not the
courage to shoot. 1 saw them some two
months after, or six weeks after. They were
mad enough to do it; I saw it in their eye.
They killed two other Presidents—William
Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor. I
know the physicians called tbe disease con
gestion of the lungs or liver, but the plain
truth was they were worried to death; they
were trampled out of life by place-hunters.
President Jackson said to a gentleman, who
told me of the utterance, “Sir, people want
to be President of the United States. I want
to tell them that this place is a perfect hell!”
Now, in God’s name, let this thing stop
Three Presidents sacrificed to this one demon
are enough. Let the Congress of the United
States, at its next session, start a work of
Presidential emancipation. Four Presidents
have recommended civil service reform, and
it has amounted to little or nothing. But
this assassination will compel speedy and de
cisive action, and so some good will come of
it. But is it not sadly strange that the world
makes no advance except through the sacri
fice of human life? The church ts to be re
formed, but Wycliffe and John Oldcastle
must perish, and the scenes of Piedmont and
Brussels’ market-place must be enacted. The
French despotism must be destroyed, but the
streets of Paris must be incarnadined with
human gore. The United States are to be
separated from foreign rulers, but the frosts
of Valley Forge must devour and the bayo-

It must be, for when old and young, rich and

all testify to having been cured by them, we
must believe, and doubt no longer. See other

The French novelist, M. Alphonse Daudet,
has written a sort of literary autobiography,
under the title of “Histoire de mes Livres, ’
which is now appearing in the pages of the
Independance Beige. Incidentally he gives an
interesting glimpse of a group of five writers,
then equally unread and moneyless, who
used to meet on Sundays in the rooms of one
of their number, Gustave Flaubert. The
other four were—Daudet himself, Tourgue-
neff, Goncourt, and Zola—all of whom have
since become rich and famous by their pens.
What It Does. ■>
Kidney-Wort moves the bowels regularly,
cleanses the blood, and radically cures kid-
nev disease, gravel, piles, bilious headache,
and pains which are caused by disordered
liver and kidneys. Thousands have been
cured—why should you not tyy it? Your
druggist will tell you that it is one of the
most successful medicines ever known. It is
sold in both dry and liquid form, and its ac
tion is positive and sure in either form.—
Dallas (Tex.) Herald.
“Why do you have two wives?” was asked
of a Wc.bigoon chief by Governor General
Lome during his tour The chief replied
that by having two wives he could show
more children on the ground at the payment,
and draw more money. The Toronto Globe
reporter, who heard it, says: “I have heard
the objection raised to the existing system of
paying the Indians, that it discourages chris
tianity by offering a premium on the Pagan
practice of polygamy, but I never saw a
more striking exemplification of fact than
was contained in this brief and sententious
reply.”
