(Copyright 1IKW.I 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!” When four parents have breathed tlielr last nnd th6 old, wrinkled and trembling hands can no more be put upon your head for a blessing, God wili.be to you a father and mother both, giving you the defense of tho one and the comfort of the other. For have we not Paul’s blessed hope that .as Jesus died 4 and rose agajn, "Even so them also'which sleep in Jesus shall God. bring with Him?” And when your chil** dren go away from you, -the sweet darl ings. you will not kiss them and say good- by forever. He only wants to hold .thejn for you a little while. He will give them back to you again, and He will-have them all waiting for yoil at the gates of eternal welcome. Oh, what p-GodHo is! He will allow you ’to come so close that you can put your :..ras around His neck, while He in response will put His arms around your neck, nnd all the windows of heaven will be hoisted to let the redeemed look out and sec the spect"'’'* of a rejoicing Father and a returned prodigal locked in that glorious embrace. Quit worshiping tho golden'calf, and bow this day., before Him in 'whose /presence we must all appear when the world has turned to ashes.

The great trouble in trying to sell what are calle'd patent medicines is that so many claims have been made for them that people don’t or won’t believe what honest makers say.
