DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON ON MAN’S

The Parable of the Talents—Inferiority
or Gifts No Excuse for Indalence—The
Decrees of Happiness In Heaved In Prp-
portion to Decrees of Usefulness.
BP.OOKLYN, Nov. 18.—At the Tabcp
naclo this morning the acclaim of the
worshipers was very great as they
joined in the opening Doxology. Pro
fessor Browne rendered exquisitely
tho organ solo, sonata in C minor
(Rheinberger). -The pastor, the Rev.
T. Do Witt Talmage, D. D., took for
his text “Unto^iic ho gave live talents,
to another two, and to another ono; to
every man according to his several
ability'"' (Matt xxv, 15). Ho said:
Jinny parables of Jesus Christ were
more graphic in tho times in which ho
lived than they aro uow, because cir
cumstances liavo so. much changed.
In olden times, when a man wanted
,to wrcalc a grudge upon his neighbor,
after tho fanner had scattered tho seed
'Wheat over tho field and was expect
ing tho harvest, his avenger would ge
across tho sanio Hold with a sack full
of tho seed of darnoll grass, scatter
ing that seed all over tho field, and of
course it would sprout up and spoil the
wliolo crop; and it was to that Christ
referred in iho parable when ho spoke
of the tares being sown among the
wheat. In this land our farms arc
fenced off,aiid tho wolves have been
driven to uio mountains, and we can
not fully understand tho meaning of
tlio parable in regard to tho shep
herd and the -tost sheep. But
tho parable from which 1 speak
today is founded on something wo all
understand. It is builton money, and
that means tho same in Jerusalem as in
Now York. It means tho same to the
serf as to the czar, and to tho Chinese-
cooiio ns to the emperor. Whether it
is made out of bone or brass, or iron or
copper, or gold or silver, it speaks all
languages without a stammer. The
parable of tho text runs in thiswise:
The owner of a largo estate was about
to leave home, and he had some money
ll: * ho wished properly invested, and
so ho collet) together his servants, und
mid:
“1 nm going away now, and I wish
you would taico this money and put il
to tho very best possible use, and when
1 eoino back return to me tho interest’*
T.» one man ho gave $9,400; to othors
he gave lesser stuns of money; to the
least he gavo $1,880. He left home
and was gone for years, and tlicn re
turned.. On his arrival he was anx-
ivius to know about his worldly af
fairs, and he called his servants to
gether to report to him. “Let mo
know,” mid he, “what you have been
doing with my property since I have
)>-xni gono.” Tlio man who had re
ceived the $9,400 came up and said
VI invested that money. X got good
interest for it. I have in other ways
rightly employed it; and hero are
l b',Elio. You see I havo doubled what
you gavo mo." “That’
the owner of tho estate
done. I admire your
industry. I shall reward you. Well
(lone-well done.” Other servant*
pome up with smaller accumulations.
After a while I see a man dragging
himself along with his head hanging.
I know from the way he comes in that
ho is a Lazy fellow. Ho comes up to
tho owner of tho estate and says:
“Here art* those $1,880.” “What!”
cays tho owner of tho property,
“haven’t you made it accumulate any
thing?” “Nothing—nothing.” “Why,
what liavo ydu ueen about all these
years?” “Oh, I was afraid that if
Invested it I might somehow loso it.
There aro your $1,880." Many a naan
started out with only a crown in his
pocket and achieved a fortuno, but this
fellow of my text, with $1,8S0, has
gained notono farthing. Instead of con
fessinglni 'ihdOlcuco he goes to work to
berate his master, for indolence is
most always impudent and imperti
nent, Of course, ho loses his place
and is discharged frofu the service.
The owner who went out into a far
country is Jesus Christ going from
Earth to heaven. The servants spoken
of in tho text aro members of the
diureh. Tlio talents aro our diftcront

ity. I choose it" It is
a voluntary ’ service. There is no
drudgery in it In our worldly call
ings sometimes our nerves get worn
out and our head aches, and our
physical faculties breakdown; but in
this service of the Lord Jesus the
harder a man works tho better he likes
it; and a man in this audience who has
been for fortjr years serving God en-
ent better than when
e first entered it The grandest honor
that can ever bo bestowed upon you is
to have Christ say to you on the last
day: “Well done, good and faithful
servant 1"
THE MANY VARIOUS ENDOWMENTS OF
MAN.
Leam also from this parable that dif
ferent qualifications are given to dif
ferent people. The teacher lifts a
blackboard, and he draws a diagram,
in order that by that diagram he may
impress the mind of the pupil with the
truth that ho liqs been uttering. And
all the truths of this Bible are drawn
out in tho natural world as in a great
diagram. Here is on acre of ground
that lias ton talents. Under a little
culture it yields twenty bushels of
wheat to the acre. Hero is another
K of ground that has only ono
t You may plow it, and harrow
it, and culture it, year after year, but
it yields a mere pittance. So here is a
man with ten talents in tho way of
work. Hero is another man "who
seems to have only one talent, and
you may put upon him tho greatest
spiritual culture, but he violas but
little of tho fruits of righteousness.
You are to understand that there are
different qualifications for different
individuals. There is a great deal of
ruinous comparison when a man says:
Oh, if I only hail that man’s faith or
that man’s money or that man’s do-
quonco how I would servo God.” Bet
ter take the faculty that God hns
given you and employ it in tho right
way. The rabbis used to say that be
fore tho stone and timhpr were brought
to Jerusalem for tbV temple evciy
stone and piece of timber was marked;
so that before they started for Jerusa
lem the architects knew in what place
that particular piece of timber
or stone should fit. And so I havo to
tell you wo are all marked for somo
ono place in tho great temple of tho
Lord, and do not let us complain, say
ing: “I would like to bo the founda
tion stone or the cop stone.” Let us
go into tho very placo whore God in
tends us to bo, and be satisfied with
the position. Your talent maybe in
lereoual appearance, your talent may
oe in large worldly estate, your talent
may be in high social position, your
talent may be in a swift pen or elo
quent tongue, but whatever be the
talent, it has been given only for onq
purpose—practical use. You some
times find a man in the community
of whom you say: “He has no
talent at nil;” and yet that man may
have a hundred talents. His one hun
dred talents maybe shown in the item
of endurance. Fover+y comes, and ho
endures it; persecution comes, and he
endures it: sickness comes, and he en
dures it. Before men end angels he is
Uuder
a specimen of Christian patience, and
ho is really illustrating the power of
Christ's gospel, and is doing as much
for tho church, and more for the
church, than many more positively
active. If you have one talent, use
that; .if you have ten talents, uso
them, satisfied with the fact that we
all havo different qualifications, and
that tho Lord decides whether we shall
have one or whether we shall havo ten.
I learn, also, from this parable that
the grace of God was intended to be
accumulative. When God plants an
acorn, ho means cui oak, and when he
plants a small amount of grace In tho
heart, he intends it to be growthful
and enlarge until it overshadows the
whole nature. There aro parents who,
at tho birth of each child,- lay aside a
certain amount of money, investing
it, expecting by accumulation and by
compound interest that, by the
time the child shall come to mid
life, this small amount of money will
be a fortune, showing how a small
amount of money will roll up into a
vast accumulation. Well, God sets
aside a certain amount of grace for
each one of his spiritual children at
his birth, and it is to go on and,
os by compound interest, accumu
late, until it shall become an etcr-
nal fortune. Cun it ho possible
that you haygjieen acquainted with
tho Lord Jesus for ten, twenty,
thirty years, and tljst you do not love
him more now than you ever did be
fore? Can it bo that you have been
cultured in the Lord’s vineyard and
that Chriri finds on you nothing hut
sour grapes? You may depend upon
it, if you do not uso tbo talent that
God gave you, it will dwindle. The
rill that breaks from tho hillside will
either widen into a river or dry up.
The brightest day started in the dim
twilight The strongest Christian
man was onco a weak Christian.
Take tho ono talent, and make it two;
take five pud paako them ten; take ten
man’s lack of adaptability to cir
cumstances.
Again: I learn from tho text that
inferiority of gifts is no excuse
for indolence. This man, with tho
smallest amount of money, camo
growling into the presence of the
owner of the estate, ns much as to sav:
“If you had given mo $9,400 I would
have brought $18,800 as well as '
stand that you might this afternoon
S into your place of prayer, and kneel
fore God, and bring down upon your
soul, and the. souls of others, a
blearing so vast that it would take

want to say.” My brother, can you
not quote ono passage of Scripture?
Then, take that one passage of Script
ure; carry it with you everywhere;
quote it under all proper circum
stances. ^ r ith that one passage of
Scripture you may harvest a thou
sand souls for God. I am glad that
the chief work of the church In this
day is being done by the men
of one talent Onco in a while,
when a great fortress Is to
betaken, God will bring out a great
field piece and rake afl with the
fiery hail of destruction. But com
mon muskets do most of the hard
fighting. It took only one Joshua,
and tho thousands of common troops
Under him, to drive down the wallsof
cities, and, under wrathful strokes, to
make nations fly like sparks from tho
anviL It only took one Luther for
Germany, one Zwinglius for Switzer
land, ono John Knox for Scotland,
one Calvin for FrancA, aud one John
Wesley for England. Dorcas as cer
tainly nas a mission to serve as Paul
has a mission to preach. Tho two
mites dropped by the widow into the
poor box will bo as much applauded
as tho endowment of a college,
which gets a man’s name into
tho newspapers. Tho man *wlio
kindled the fire under the burnt offer
ing in tho ancient temple had a duty
as imperative as that of tho high priest,
in magnificent robes, walking into tho
Holy of Holies under the cloud of
Jehovah’s presence. Yes, the men
with one talent are to save the world,
or it will never be saved at all. The
men with five or ten talents are
tempted to toil chiefly for themselves,
to buld up their own great name, ana
work for their own aggrandizement
and do nothing for tho alleviation ol
the world's woes. The cedar of
Lebanon-standing on the mountain
seems down the storms out of
the heavens to the earth, but it hears
no fruit, while some dwarf pear tree
has more fruit on its branches than it
can carry. Bettor to have one talent
and put it to full use than fivo hundred
wickedly neglected.
THE INEVITABLE DAY OF RECKONING.
My subject teaches me that there is
going to come a day of solemn settle
ment. When the old farmer of the
text got home ho immediately called
all the servants about him and said:
“Hero is tho little account I havo been
keeping. I wont to see your account
and wo will first compare them; and
I’ll pay you what I owe you and
you’ll pay me what you owe me. Lot
us have a settlement” Tho day will
como when the Lord Jesus Christ will
appear and wiU say to you: “What
havo you been doing with my prop
erty? Whai havo you been doing
with my faculties? What have you
been doing with who! I gavo you for
accumulative purposes ?’ r There will
bo no escape from that settle
ment Sometimes you cannot get a
settlement with a man, especially if ho
owes you. - He postpones and procras
tinates and says: “I’ll seo you next
they who toil mightily ft
earth shall have a for greater reward
than those who havo rendered • only
half a service.
Some of you are hastening on to
ward the reward of the righteous. I
want to cheer you up at the thought
that there will do some kind of a re
ward waiting for you. There aro
Christian people in this houso who are
very near Leaven. This week somo of
you may pass out into tho light of the
unsetting sun. I saw a blind man go
ing along the road with his staff, and
hekeptpounding the earth and then
stamping with his foot. I said to him:
“What do you da that fori" “Oh,”
he said, “I can tell by the sound of
the ground when I am near a
dwelling." And some of you can tell
by the sound of your earthly
pathway that you are coming near to
your father’s house. I congratulate
you. Oh, weather beaten voyagers,
the storms are driving you into the
harbor. Just as when you were look
ing for a friend, you came up to the
gate of his house, and you were talk
ing with the servant when your friend
hoisted the window ana shouted:
“Como in I Como in!” Just so, when
you como to tho gate of tho future
world, und you are talking with death,
tho black porter at the gate, metliinka
Christ will hoist tho window and say:
“Como ini Como ini I will make

THE PHILOSOPHY OF EQUALITY OF ED
WARD.
I learn also from this parable of the
text that our degraes of happiness in
heaven will ho graduated according to
our degrees of usefulness on earth.
Several of the commentators agree in
making this parable the same one as
in Luke, where one man was made
ruler over fivo cities and another made
ruler over two cities. Would it bo
fair and right that the professed Chris
tian man who has lived very near "too
lino between tho world and tho church
—the man wlfo'has'often compromised
liis Christian character—the man who
has never spoken out for God—the
man who has never been known as a
Christian only on communion days—

been , to see how much of tho world
ho could get and yet win heaven
-is it right to suppose that
that man will havo as grand and
glorious a scat in heaven as the man
who gave all his energies of body,
