THE SUNNY SOUTH
TABERNACLE SERMONS.
BY
KEY. T. DEWITT TALIHACIE.
THE GREAT BROOKLYN TABERNACLE
NEW YORK.
1854 and 1884.
Dr. Talmage’s Sermon. Preached before the
G. A. R. on Sunday Evening, May 25,1884,
the Sunday immediately preceding Deco
ration Day.
“And the Lord commanded the angel, and
He put np his sword again into the sheath
thereof ”—I. Chron. xxi., 27.
One day in Davidio times the people
looked np and saw against the sky some
thing which made the blood cnrdle and the
cheek blanch and the breath stop—an angel
of overtowering stature, and armed with a
sword long and bright ns summer lightning
when it cleaves the sky from zenith to hori
zon. The broad blade with curved edge
pointed toward doomed' Jerusalem. The
sheath hung dangling at the side of the
great supernatural, the sheath, of course, of
such vast proportion as to have held the
sword before it was brandished. As long as
that uncovered sword was pointed toward
Jerusalem havoc and massacre and blood
shed went on; but after a while, in answer
to the prayers of the people and sacrifices
on the threshing-floor of Oman, the angel
drew back the sword with the right hand,
and seizing the sheath with the left he in
serted the sharp point into the mouth of the
scabbard, and flnng the sword down deep,
nntil the haft of it struck the rim of the
scabbard with resound that made the moun
tains about Jerusalem tremble. Then the
havoc stopped, and the wounds healed, and
the former glories of the oity were eclipsed
by the splendors subsequent. Hear yon not
the clang of sabre and scabbard as they
come together in the words of my text ?
“And the Lord commanded the angel, and
he put up his sword again into the sheath
thereof.”
Soldiers of the grand army of the Re
public ! And soldiers who fought on the
other side 1 All one now in kindly brother
hood, whether you wore the color that sug
gested the gray of the morning sky or the
blue of the full noon ! And let no man who,
by word or deed, tries to open the old
wounds ever offer, either in thiB world or
the next, to take my hand ! Hear me while
I draw out the contrast between the time
when the angel of war stood in the Ameri
can sky, pointing his long, keen, cutting,
frightful sword toward this, our beloved
land, and for four years the nation was in
awful hemorrhage, and now when, in an
swer to the prayers and sacrifices on ten
thousand altars, that angel of war that stood
above us hath hurled the bloody scimetar
into the scabbard with a clang that made
everything from the Canadas to the gulf
tremble with gladness.
At this season of decoration of the sol
diers’ graves, both at the North and South,
it is appropriate that I rouse your patriotism
and revive your reminiscence, and stir your
gratitude by putting 1864 beside 1884. I shall
make two circles around these two dates.
Around 1864 I shall put a garland of red
dahlias for the carnage. Around 18841 shall
put a garland of white lilies for the peac.
The first I shall crown with a chaplet of
cypress. The second date I shall crown with
a sheaf of wheat. The one date ajdead march
and the other a wedding anthem. Twel\e
o’clock at night compared with twelve
o’clok at noon.
1. Contrast, first of all, the feelings of
sectional enmity in 1864 with the feelings of
sectional amity in 1884. At the first date the
South had banished the national air, The
Star Spangled Banner, and the North had
banished the popular air of Way Down
South in Lixie. The Northern people were
“mudsills,” and the Southern people were
“white trash.” The more Southern people
were killed in battle the better the North
liked it. The more Northern people were
killed in battle the better the South liked it.
For foar yearn the hond of Abrntmui Liucolu
or Jefferson Davis would have been worth
§1,000,000 if delivered on the other side of
the line. No need now, standing in our
pulpits and platforms, of saying that the
North and South did not hate each other.
The hatred was as long and terrible as the
sword the angel of war, standing mid
heaven, gripped pointing toward this nation,
and then swung closer down till it gashed a
grave-trench clear through the quivering
heart of the continent. To estimate how
very dearly we loved each other, count up
the bombshells that were hurled and the
oarbines that were loaded, and the cavalry
horses that were mounted. North and South
facing each other, all armed in the attempt
to kill.
The two sections not only marshalled all
their earthly hostilities, but tried to reach
up to get hold of the sword spoken of in the
text—the sword of heaven—and the prayer
of Northern and Southern pulpits gave more
information to the heavens about the best
mode of settling this trouble than was ever
used. For four years both sides tried to get
hold of the Lord’s thunderbolts, but could
not quite reach them. At the breaking out
of the war we had not for months heard of
my dear uncle, Samuel K. Talmage, presi
dent of Oglethorpe University in Georgia.
He was about the mildest man I ever knew,
and as good as good could be. The first we
heard of him was his opening prayer in the
Confederate Congress in Richmond, which
was reported in the New York Herald,
which prayer if answered, would, to say the
least, have left all his Northern relatives in
very uncomfortable circumstances. The
ministry at the North prayed one way, and
the ministry at the South prayed another
way. No use in hiding the fact that the
North and South cursed each other with a
withering and all-consuming curse.
Beside that antipathy of 1864, I place the'
complete accord of 1884. Meeting in New
York to raise money to build a home at
Richmond for crippled Confederate soldiers,
the meeting presided over by a man who
lost an arm and leg in fighting on the north
ern side, and the leg not lost so hurt that it
doe3 not amount to much. The cotton ex
hibition two years ago at Atlanta, was at
tended by thousands of Northern people
and by Gen. Sherman, who was greeted with
kindness, as though they had never seen
him before. The United State Goverment
last week voted a million dollars towards a
New Orleans exhibition, to be held next De
cember, in which every Northern State will
be represented. A thousand fold kindlier
feeling after the war than before the war.
No more use of gunpowder in this coun
try, except for Fourth of July pyrotechnics
or a shot at a roebuck in the Adirondaoks.
Brigadier-generals in the Southern Confed
eracy making their fortunes as lawyers in
our Northern cities. Rivers of Georgia,
Alabama and North Carolina turning the
mills of New England capitalists. The old
lions of war—Fort Sumter, and Moultrie,
and Lafayette, and Pickens, and Hamilton,
sound asleep on their iron paws, and in
stead of our raising money to keep enemies
out of our harbor, raising money for the
Bartholdi statue on Bedloe’s Island, the fig
ure of Liberty with uplifted torch to light
thy way of all who want to come in. In
stead of 1864, when you could not cross the
line between the contestants without fight
ing your way with keen steel, or going
through by passes carefully scrutinized at
every step by bayonets, you need only a
railroad ticket from New York to Charles
ton or New Orleans to go clear through,
and there is no use for any weapon sharper
or stronger than a steel pen. Since the
years of time began their roll, has there
ever been in two decades such an overmas
tering antithesis as between 1864, of com-
plete bitterness, and 1884, of complete sym
pathy? It is the difference between the
archangel of war mid-sky with sword brand
ished, and the archangel of war mid-sky
with sword scabbarded.
Jl* Contrast also the Domestic life of
1864 with the domestic life of 1884. You
were either leaving home or far away from
it, communicating by uncertain letter.
What a morning that was when yon left
home! Father and mother crying, sisters
orying, yon smiling outside, but crying in
side. Everybody nervous and exeited. Boys
of the blue and gray! Whether you started
from the banks of the Hudson, or the An
droscoggin, or the Savannah, don’t you re
member the scenes at the front door, at the
rail oar window, or the steamboat landing?
The huzza could not drown out the sup
pressed sadness? Do you not remember
those oharges to write home often, and take
good care of yourself, and be good boys,
and the good-bye kiss which they thought,
and you thought, might be forever?
Then the homesickness as you paced the
river bank on a starlight night on picket
duty, and the sly tears you wiped off when
you heard a group by a camp-fire singing
the plantation song about the “Old folks at
home.” The dinner of hard-tack on Thanks
giving Day. And the Christmas without
any presents, and the long nights in the
hospital, so different from the sickness when
you were at home, with mother and sisters
at the bedside, and the clock in the hall
giving the exact moment for the medicine,
And that forced march when your legs ached,
and your head ached, and your wounds
ached, and more than all, your heart ached,
Homesiokness which had in it a suffocation
and a pang worse than death. You never
got hardened as did the guardsman in the
Crimean war, who heartlei s’y wrote home
to his mother: “I don’t want to see any more
crying letters come to the Crimea from yon
Those I have received I put into my rifle,
after loading it, and have fired them at the
Russians, because you appear to have a
strong dislike to them. If you had seen as
many killed as I have, yon would not have
as many weak ideas as you now have.” You
never felt like that. When a soldier’s knap
sack was found after his death in our Ameri
can war, there was generally a careful pack
age containing a Bible, a few photographs,
and letters from home.
On the other band, tens of thousands of
homes waiting for news. Parents saying:
“Twenty thousand killed! I wonder if our
boy was among them?” Fainting dead
away in postoffioes and telegraph stations.
Both the ears of God filled with the sobs and
agonies of kindred waiting for news, or
dropping under the announcement of bad
news. Speak, swamps of Chickahominy,
and midnight lagoons, and fire-rafts on the
Mississippi, and gunboats before Vicksburg,
and woods of Antietam, and tell to all the
mountains, and valleys, and rivers, and
lakes of North and South, the jeremiads of
1864 that have never been syllabled!
Beside that domestic perturbation and
homesiokness of twenty years ago put the
sweet domesticity of 1884. Where do you
come from to-night? From home. The
only camp-fire you now sit at is the one kin
dled in stove, or furnace, or hearth. Instead
of a half ration of salt pork, a repast luxu
rious, because partaken of by loving family
circle and in sacred confidences. Oh, now
I see who those letters were for, the letters
you, the young soldier, took so long in your
tent to write, and that you were so particu
lar to put in the mail without any one see
ing - lest you be teased by your comrades.
God spared you to oome back, and though
the old people have gone, you have a home
of your own construction, and you are here
to-night, contrasting those awful absences
and filial, and brotherly, and loverly heart
breaks with your present residence, which is
the dearest place you will find this side of
heaven, the place where your children were
born and the place where you want to die.
To write the figures 1864 I set np four crys
tals—crystals of tears; to write the figures
1884 I stand up four members of your house
hold-figures of rosy cheeks and flaxen hair,
if I can get them to stand still long enough.
III. Contrast also the religious opportu
nities of twenty years ago with now. Often
on the march from Sunday morn till night,
or commanded by officers who considered
the names of God and Christ of no use ex
cept to swear by. Sometimes the drum
head the pulpit; and you standing in heat or
cold; all the surroundings of military life
having a tendency to make you reckless; no
privacy for prayer or Bible reading; no
sound of church bells; Sabbaths speDt far
away from the places where you were
brought up. To-day the choice of sanctua
ries; easy pew; all Ohristfan surroundings;
the air full of God, and Christ, and heaven,
and doxology; three mountains lifting them
selves into the holy lfght—Mount Sinai thun
dering its law, Mount Cavalry pleading the
sacrifice, Mount Pisgah displaying the prom
ised land.
1864—Thirty-five million inhabitants in
this land. 1884—Fifty-five million.
1864—Wheat about eighty million bushels.
1884—The wheat will be about five hundred
million bushels.
In 1864—Cotton less than three million
bales; in 1884 cotton will be more than seven
million bales.
In 1864— Pacific coast five weeks from the
Atlantic; in 1884, for three reasons, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Northern Pa
cific, only seven days across.
Look at the long line of churches, univer
sities, asylums and houses with which,
during the last two decades, this land has
been decorated. Oh, was not this country
worth fighting'for? Do not the magnificent
prosperities of 1884 compensate for the
hardships of 1864 ? Soldiers ! Praise God
that He has spared you to see this day, and
as you gave your bodies in battle give your
souls in peace to God and your country.
Living soldiers of the North and South!
Take new and especial ordination at this
season of the year to garland the sepulchres
of your fallen comrades. Nothing is too
good for their memories. Turn all the pri
vate tombs and the national cemeteries into
gardens. Ye dead of Malvern Hill, and
Cold Harbor, and Murfreesboro, and Ma
nassas Junction, and Cumberland Gap, and
field hospital, receive these floral offerings
of the living soldiery.
IV. Contrast of national condition. 1864—
Spending money by the millions in devasta
tion of property and life. 1884—With fi
nances so reconstructed that all the stock
gamblers of Wall street, week before last,
failed to make a national panic.
1864—The surgeons of the land setting
broken bones, and amputating gangrened
limbs, and studying gunshot fractures, and
inventing easy ambulances for the wounded
and dying. 1884—Surgeons giving their at
tention to these in casualty of agriculture,
commerce, or mechanical life. The
rushing of the ambulance through our
streets, not suggesting battle, but quick re
lief to some one fallen in peaceful indus
tries.
But they shall oome again, all the dead
troops. We sometimes talk about earthly
military reviews, such as took place in Paris
in the time of Marshal Ney, and in London
in the time of Wellington, and in our own
land. But what tame things compared with
the final review, when all the armies of the
ages shall pass for divine and angelio in
spection! St. John says the armies of heaven
ride on white horses, and I do not know why
many of the old oavalry horses of earthly
battle that were wounded and worn out in
the service may not have resurrection. It
would be only fair that, raised up and en
nobled, they would be resurrected for the
grand review of the Judgment Day. It
would not take any more power to recon
struct their poor bodies than to recon
struct ours, and I should be very glad to see
them among the white horses of apocalyptie
vision.
Hark to the trumpet blast, the revellie of
the last judgment! They oome up, all the
armies of all lands and all centuries, on
whatever side they fought, whether for free
dom or for despotism, for the right or the
wrong. They oome! they oome! Darius and
Cyrus, and Sennacherib, and Joshua and
David leading forth the armies of Scriptu
ral times. Hannibal and Hamilar leading
forth the armies of the Carthaginians.
Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi leading
on the armies of the Italians. Tam
erlane and Genghis Khan followed by the
armies of Asia. Gustavos Adolphus, and
yThilo
leonio battles. The 12,000,000 Germans fsl
len in the thirty years’ war. The 15,000,0: tf)
fallen in the war under Sesostris. The 20,
000 000 fallen in wars of Justinian. The
25,000.000 fallen in Jewish wars. The 80,-
000.000 fallen in the Crusades. The 180,-
000,000 fallen in Roman wars with Sarac
ens and Turks. The 35,000,000,000 men es
timated to have fallen in battle, enough, ac
cording to one statistician, if they stood
four abreast, to reach clear round the earth
442 times.
But we shall have time to see them pass
in review before the throne of judgment.
The oavalry men, the spearpmen, the artile-
rymen, the infantry, the sharpshooters, the
gunners, the sappers, the miners, the arch
ers, the skirmishers, men of all colors, of
all epaulettes, of all standards, of all weap
onry, of all countries. Let the earth be es
pecially balanced to bear their tread. For
ward! Forward! Let the orchestra of the
heavenly galleries play the grand march,
joined by all lifers, drummers and military
bands that ever sounded victory or defeat
at Eylau or Borodino, Marathon or Ther-
mopylie, Bunker Hill or Yorktown, Solferi-
no or Balaolava, Sedan or Gettysburg, from
the time that Joshua halted astronomy
above Gibeon and Ajalon till the last man
surrendered to Garnet Wolseley at Tel-el-
Kebir. Attention! companies, battalions,
ages, centuries and the universe. Forward
in the grand review of the judgment! For
ward!
Gracious and eternal God! On that day
may it he found that we were all marching
in the right regiment, and that we carried
the right standard, and that we fought un
der the right commander; all heaven, some
on amethystine battlement and others
standing in shining gates, some on pearly
shore and others in turreted heigets, giving
us the resounding million-voiced chesr: “To
Him that overcometh.” And our Com
mander and King, having reviewed the
troops, all nations of heaven and earth will
salute Him as the one who, standing so long
m the sky with the sword of conquest
stratched toward the earth, hath at last put
it back with a mighty thrust and echoing
clang into the sheath of universal victory,

AYER’S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep as may be desired.
By its use light 05 red liair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
]t checks falling of the liair, and .stimu
lates a weak ami sickly growth to vigor, it
prevents and cures scurf ami dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladies* Hair Dressing, the
Vigor is unequalled ; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the liair soft, glossy, am
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MR. C. P. BRicriER writes from Kirby, ()..
July 3, 1HN2 : “ Last fail my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time I became
nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of
Ayer's Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall
ing of tiie hair, ami started a new growth. I
have now a full head of liair growing vigor
ously, and am convinced that hut for the
use of your preparation I should have been
entirely bald.**
J. W. Bowen, proprietor of the McArthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says : “Ayer's Hair Vigor
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience, its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandrulf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction.**
Mr. Angus Fairiiairn, leader of the
celebrated “ Fairbairn Family’* of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass,, Feb. 6,
1SS0 : “ Ever since my hair began to give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procuretli, I have used Ayer’s Hair
Vigor, ami so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness — a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public.**
Mrs. O. A. Prescott, writing from IS Elm
St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, lss2, says:
“ Two years ago about two-thirds of my liair
came off. It thinned very rapidly, and 1 was
fast growing bald. On using Ayer’s Hah:
Vigor the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle
of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing.**
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AVer's Hair Vigor. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skeptL
cal of its value.

SAVED HER LIFE.
From III a coa.
In August, 1881, it was discovered that my son's
wife was in the last stages of consumption. She
was coughing incessantly and at times would
discharge quantities of pus from her lungs, could
not sleep or retain anything on tier stomach, and
we thought it only a question of tiime when life
would be compelled to give way to the fell de

I most earnestly entreat every female ex peering
to be confined to use Mother's Belief. Coupled
with this entreaty I will add that during a long
obstetrical practice (forty-four years,) I have
never known it t,o fail to produce a safe and
quick di livery. H. J. HOLMES, M. D.
A lady from one of the connties of Middle
Georgia who has been acting midwife for many
years, writes: "I have disposed of all the Moth
er’s Friend you sent me, and I am delighted with
it. In every instance where it has been used, its
effects have been all that I could ask. I consider
it a great blessing.’’
A gentleman writes: “My wife UBed your
Mother’s Friend at her fourth confinement, and
her testimony is that she passed through it
with one-half the suffering of either of her
former confinements, and recovered from its
effects in much less rime. She also recom
mended it to a lady frieud who was about to be
confined for the first rime, and she says- ‘I have
never seen any one pass through this great trial
with so much ease and so little suffering.’ ”
A QUICK AND EASY TIME.
A distinguished physician of Mississippi
writes: “Every one expecting to be confined
should use the Mother’s Friend, for during a
long obstetric practice I have never known it to
fail to produce a quick and safe delivery.”
This remedy is one about which we cannot
publish certificates, but it is a most wonderful
liniment to be used after the first two or three
months.
