WAsmuoTON. D. C.-ln tins discourse
Dr. Talmnge sliows how the spirit of
Breed destroys when it tnkes possession
of a roan and that money cot in wrong
ways is a curse; text, Exodus xxxii, 20.
"And he look the calf which they Imd
made and burnt it in the fire and ground
it to powder nnd strewed it upon the
water nnd made the children of Israel
drink of it.”
People will have a god of some kind,
and they prefer one of their own making.
Hen* co i tho Israelites, breaking oif
their golden earrings, the men ns well as
the women, for in those times there was
masculine r.s well as feminine decoration.
Where u.d they get these beautiful gold
earrings, coming up, ns they did, from the
desert? Oh, they borrowed them of the
Egyptians when they left Egypt. These
earrings are piled up into a pyramid of
glittering beauty. "Any more'' earrings
to bring?" says Aaron. None. Fire is
kindled, tho earrings nro melted and pour
ed into a mold not of an eagle or a war
charger, but of a silly calf; the gold cools
down, the mold is taken away, and tho
idol jg set up on its four legs. An altar
is built In front of the shining enlf. Then
the people throw up their arms nnd gy
rate and shriek and dance vigorously and
worship
Mores has been six weeks on Mount
Sinai, nnd he comes back nnd hears the
howling and sees the dancing of these
golden calf fanatics, and he lotes his pa
tience, nnd he takes the two plates of
stone on which were written the Ten Com
mandments nnd flings them so hard
against n rock that they split all % to'pieces,
When a man gets angry, ho is apt to
break all tho Ten Commandments. Moses
rushes in, and he takes this, calf god nnd
throws it into a hot fire until it is melted
all out of shape and then pulverizes it—
not by the modern applinnee of nitro mu
riatic acid, but by tho ancient upplinnee of'
niter or by the old fashioned file. lie stirs
for the people a most nauseating draft.
He takes this pulverized golden calf and
throws ft in the only brook which is ac
cessible, and the people nre compelled to
drink of that brook or not drink at all.
_ But they did not drink all the glittering
stuff thrown on the surface, dome of it
Hows on'down the surface of the brook to
the river and then flows on down the river
to tho sea, and tho sea takes it up nnd
bears it to the mouth of all tho rivers, and
when the tides set back the remains of
this gulden calf are carried up into tho
Potomac and tho Hudson and the Thames
and the Clyde and the Tiber. And men
? o out and they skim the glittering sur-
ace, and they bring it ashore nnd they
make another golden calf, and California
and Australia break off their gblden ear
rings to augment the pile, and in the fires
of financial excitement nnd struggle all
theso things are melted together, nnd
while we stand looking and wondering
what will come of it, lo, we find thnt tho
golden Calf of Israeli tish worship has be
come the golden calf of European 1 and
American worship.
Pull aside this curtain, nnd you see tho
golden *calf of modern idolatry. It is not,
like other idols, made out of stocks or
stone, but it lian an ear so sensitive that it
can hear the whispers on Wall street and
Third street and State street, and tho
footfalls in the Bank of England and tho
flutter of a Frenchman’s heart on the
bo.urse. It has an eye so keen that it can
sec the rust on the farm of Michigan
wheat, and the insect in the Maryland
peach orchard and the trampled grain un
der the hoof of tho Russian war charger.
It is so mighty that it swings liny way it
will the world’s shipping. It has its foot
on all the merchantmen and the steam
ers. It started the American Civil War
and under Cod stopped it, and it decided
tho Turko-Bussian contest. One broker
in September, 1S09, in New York, shouted.
"One hundred anil sixty for a million?”
and the whole continent shivered. Tho
golden calf of the text has, as far as Amer
ica is concerned, its right front foot in
New York, its left front foot in Chicago,
its right back foot in Charleston, its left
back foot in New Orleans, and when it
shakes itself it shakes the world. Oh. this
is a mighty god—the gqlden calf of tho
world’s worship!
But every god must have its temple, nnd
this golden calf of the text is no excep
tion. Its temple is vaster than St. Paul’s
Cathedral in England, and St. Peter’s in
Italy, and the Alhatobra of the Spaniards,
•and the Parthenon of the Greeks, und the
Taj Mahal of the Hindoos, anil all tho
cathedrals put together. Its pillars arc
grooved and fluted with gold, and its
ribbed arches are hovering gold, and its
chandeliers arc descending gold t and its
floors arc tessellated gold, nnd its vnults
arc crowded heaps of gold and its spires
and domes arc soaring gold, nnd its organ
pines are resounding gold, and its pedals
nre tramping gold, ana its stops pulled out
are flashing gold, while, standing at the
head of the temple, as tho presiding'diety.
are the hoofs and shoulders and eyes uud
ears and nostrils of the calf of'gold.
Further, every god must have not only
its temple,. but its. altar of sacrifice,.nnd
this golden calf of the text is no. exception'.
Its altar is not ihndo out of stone as other
altars, but out of counting room desks
nnd fireproof safes, and it is a broad, a
long, a high altar. The victims sacrificed
on it are the Swnrtoats and the Kctchnms
-and the Fisks and ten thousand other
people' who ore slain before this goldeu
What does this god care about tho
groans and struggles of the victims before
it? With cold, metallic eye, it looks on
and yet lets them suffer. What an altar!
What a sacrifice of mind, body and soul!
The physical health of a great multitude
is flung on to this sacrificial altar. They
cannot sleep, and they take chloral and
morphine and intoxicants.
Some of them struggle in a nightmare of
stocks, and at 1 o’clock in the morning
suddenly rise Aip shouting: "A thousand
sliares of New York Central—one hun
dred.and eight and a half, take it!”—until
‘the whole family is affrighted, and the
speculators fall back on their pillows and
sleep until they are awakened again by a
"corner” in Pacific Mail, or a suduen
"rise” of Rock Island.
Their nerves gone, their digestion .gone,
their brain gone, they die. The gowned
ecclesiastic comes in and reads tho funer
al service, "Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord!” Mistake. Thqy did not
"die in the Lord;” the golden calf kicked
them.
The trouble is, when the men sacrifice
themselves on this altar suggested in the
text they not only sacrifice themselves,
but they sacrifice their families.
If a man-by a wrong course is determ
ined to go to perdition^ I suppose you
will have to let him go. But he puts his
wife and children in an equipage that is
the amazement of‘the avenues, nnd the
driver lashes the. horses into two whirl
winds, and tne spokes flash in the sun and
the golden headgear of tne harness gleam*
until black calamity takes the bits of the
horses and stops them aud shouts to tho
luxuriant occupants' of tho equipage, "Get
out!” They get out. They j.et down.
That husband and father fiuug 1-is family
go hard they never got up. There was
the mark on them for life—the mark of a
oplit hoof—the death dealing hoof of the
golden calf. •
Solomon offered in one sacrificj'on one
occasion 22,000 oxen und 120,000 sheep.
But that wca a tame sacrifice compared
with the multitude of men who arc sac
rificing themselves on this altar of the
golden calf nnd sacrificing their families
with them. The soldiers of General Have
lock in India walked literally ankle deep
in the hlood of "the house of massacre,
where 200 white women and children had
been slain bv the aepoya. But the hlood
about this nltnr of the golden calf flows up
to the knee, flows up to the girdle. Hows
to the shoulder, Hows to the lip. Great
God of heaven amt earth, have mercy on
those who iinmolnte ihemselvos on this
altar! The golden enlf has .none.
Still the degrading worship goes on, and
the devotees kneel and kissHhe dust and
count their golden beads nnd cross them
selves with tho blood of thoir own snexi-
lice. The music rolls on under the nrelies.
It is made of clinking silver and clinking
goM nnd tho rattling snccic of the banks
and brokers’ -slums nnd the voices of all
tho exchanges. The soprano of tho wor
ship is carried bv the timid voices of men
who have just begun to speculate, while
the deep bnss rolls out from those who for
tei* years have been steened in the seeth
ing cauldron. Chorus of voices rejoicing
over what they have made; chorus of
voices wniling over what they lmvo lost.
This temple of which 1 speak stands open
day nnd night", aid there Is the glittering
god with his four feet on broken hearts,
and there is the smoking nltnr of sacrifice,
new victims every moment on it. nml
there nro the.kneeling devotees, nnd the
doxology of the worship rolls on, whilo
death stands with mpldy and skeleton arm
beating time for the'chorus—"More, more,
more!”
. Some people arc very much surprised at
the actions of people in tho Stock Ex
change, New York. Indeed it is a sccno
sometimes that paralyzes' description and
is beyond the imngination’of any one* who
has never looked in. WlGt snapping of
finger and thumb nnd wild gesticulation
and raving like hyenas, and stamping liko
buffaloes, nnd swaying to and fro, nnd
jostling nnd running one upon another,
und deafening uproar, until the president
of the exchange strikes with his mallet
four or fivo times, crying, "Order, order!”
and the astonished spectator goes out into
the fresh nir feeling that he has escaped
from pandemonium. What docs it all
mean? I will tell you what it means. Tho
devotees of every heathen temple cut
themselves to # nio. a nnd yell nnd gyrate.
This vociferation end gyration of tho ’
Stock Exchnngo is all appropriate.' This
is tho worship of the golden calf.
But my text suggests that this worship
has to be broken up, as the behavior of
Moses on this occasion indicated. Thcro
nre those who sny thnt this golden calf
spoken of in the text was hollow nnd
merely plated with gold.^ Otherwise
Moses could not have carried it. 1 do
not know it. But somehow, perhaps by
tho nssistftnco of his friends, he tnkes up
this golden calf, which is nn infernal in
sult to God and man, and throws it into
tho fire, and it is melted. And then It
comes out and is cooled off, and by some
chemical appliance or by an old-fashioned
file it ia pulverized, and it is thrown into 1
the brook, and ns a punishment the people
are compelled to drink the nauseating
stuff. So you may depend upon it that
God will burn nnd He will grind to pieces
the golden calf of modern idolatry, and Ho
will compel tho people in their agony to
drink it. If not before, it will be on the
lost day. I know not where the fire will
begin, whether at' the Battery or Lom
bard • street, whether at Shoreditch or
West End, but it will.be a very hot blaze.
All the Government securities of tho Unit
ed States nnd Great Britnin will curl up
in the first blast. All tho money safes anil
deposit vaults will melt under tho first
touch. The sea will burn liko tinder, and
the shipping will be abandoned forever.
The melting gold jn tho broker’s window
will burst tnrougu the melted window
f ;lass into tho street. But the llying ponu-
ace will not stop to scoop it up. The
cry of "Fire!” from tho mountain will
bo answered by the cry of ‘Tire!” in tho
plain. The conflagration will burn out
from the continent toward the sen and
then burn in from tho sea toward the
land, now York nnd London, with ono
cut of'the red scythe of destruction, will
go down. Twenty-five thousand miles of
conflagration 1 Tho earth will wrap itself
round and round in shroud of flajno and
lie down to perish. What then will become
of your golden calf? Who then so poor
as to worship it? Melted or between 2ho
upper and nether millstones of falling
mountains ground to powder. Logon
down, Moloch down, Juggernaut down,
golden calf down 1 •
Tho judgments of God, like Moses in
the tejet, will rush in ana brenk up this
worship, nnd I say let the work go on
until every man shall learn to speak truth
with his neighbor, nnd those who make
engagements shall fell themselves bound
to keep them, and when a man who will
not repent of his business iniquity, but
goes on wishing to satiate his cannibal an-
E etitc by devouring widows’ houses, shall,-
y the law of thejand, be compelled to
exchange the brownstono front for the
penitentiary. Let the golden calf perish!
But if >vc have made this world our god,
when we come to die we shall sell our idol
demolished. How much of this world
arc you going to take with you into the
next? Will you have two pockcts-one
in.each’side of your shroud? Will you
cu8hiqrt your casket with bonds and mort
gages and certificates, of stock? All, no!
The ferryboat that cfosses, this Jordan
takes no baggage—nothing heavier than
an immaterial spirit.
Where are the men whb tried War
ren Hastings in Westminster.hall? Where
are the.pilgrim fathers who put oat for
America? Where nre the veterans''who on
the Fourth of July, 1704, marchod from
New York park, to the Battery and fired
a salute anil then marched ,back again?
And the Society of the Cincinnati, who
dined that afternoon at Tontine* Coffco
House,-on Wall street; and Grant Thor-
burn, who that afternoon waited fifteen
minutes at the foot of Maiden lane for tho
Brooklyn ferryboat, then got in and was
rowed across by two men with oars, the
tide so strong that it was an hour and
ten minutes before they landed? Where
nre the veterans that fired the salute,'
and the men of the Cincinnati Society wljo
that afternoon drank to the patriotic
toast, and the oarsmen that , rowed tho
boat, and the people who were trans
ported? Gone! On, this is a fleeting
world. It is a dying world. A man >vho
had worshiped it all his days in, his dy
ing moment described himself when ho
said, "Fool, fool, fool!”

in response will put His arms around your
neck, nnd all the windows of heaven will
be hoisted to let the redeemed look out

she had changed her mind?” asked his

you?”

replied tho hoarding-school mnn. “But
