! Brooklyn, Dec. 23.—At the Taber
nacle today tho Bov. T. De Witt Tal-
mnffo, D. j".. reuc! and expounded a
chapter i%>ut the multiplication c.f
loaves and fishes. The opening hymn
was:
The morning light la t reating,
The darkness disappears.
Dr. Talmage took as the subject of
his sermon, “A Bad Boil Cured.” Tho
text was: “I kavo hoard thy prayer;
behold, 1 will heal thco. And Isaiah
said: Tcko a lump of figs. And they
took and laid it on tho boil, and he re
covered.”—II Kings xx, 5, 7.
Luxurious living is not healthy.
Tlio second generation of kings and
queens and lep-ds and princes is apt to
bo braiuics3 and invalid. The second
crop of grass is almost always short.
Loyal blood is generally scrofulous.
You will not bo surprised then to
hear that King Ilezekiali had dis
order which broke out in a car
buncle, virulent and deathful. Tho
Lord told him ho must die; he
«lid not want to die. He turned his
face to the wall, so that his prayer
would not be interrupted, and cried to
God for his life. God heard thepraver
and answered ii. saying: “Behold, I
will heal th.ee.” But tlioro was human
instrumentality to be employed. This
carbuncle needed a “cataplasm.' That
is a tough word we uso to show l:ow
much wo know. If in tlio nulpit we
always used words tho people under
stood, wo never should nave any repu
tation for learning. Well, this car
buncle needed a cataplasm, which is
a poultice. Your old mother who
doctored her own children in the time
when physicians were not as plenty as
they are now, will tell you that the
accoinpi
mentality, cured the king.
In this age of discovery, when men
know so much it almost hills them,
and write so wisely it almost hills us,
it lias been louiltl out that prayer to
God is a dead failure. All things are
arranged according to inexorable law.
There is uo use in praying to Cod tor
rain in time of drought. The “weather
probabilities” i:i the- morning papers
will decide tho question, rain or no
rain, and tho whole nation in prayer
before God would not bring down a
single drop. I am not now speaking of
an imaginary theory, but of that which
is believed by ten thousand times ten
thousand men.
If sickness comes to your household,
it will depend entirely upon ventila
tion, goon diet, and tno skill of tho
doctors, as to whether your child gets
well. Tlio father might pray all day,
and the mother might pray all night—
it would not have any effect upon tho
case. If squills, belladonna, paregoric
and gruel do tho work, vour child will
get well; if not, not. There is a cast
iron God seated at the head oi the uni
verse, holding in the colu grasp of liis
metal lingers a band of law from which
nothing can break away.
WHEN TO TAE3 VP ASMS AGAINST THE
ENEMY.
Men and women of God. at this
point tho great battlo of Christianity
is to bo 1 ought. The great foo of
Christianity today is rationalism,
that comes out lVcni our schools,
mid universities, and magazines and
newspapers, to scoff at Bible truth and
caricature the old religion of Jesus.
It says Jesus is not Gcd, for it is im
possible to explain how ho can bo di
vine and human ct the samo time.
Tho Bible is not inspired, for there are
things in it that they don’t like. Ee-
gencratiou is a farce; there is good
enough in us, and tho only thing is to
bring it out. Development is the word
—development. The Garden of Eden is
a fairy story, and no more to be be
lieved than tha “Arabian- Lights,” or
“Gulliver’s Travels,” or “Kobinsou
Crusoe.” \Yc all started as baboons, and
are blood relations to that monkey
squirming about on tho top of that
hand organ. Lazarus was not dead
when Christ pretended to raise him;
he was only playing dead. Tho water
was not changed into wino at tho wed-
diug, but Christ brought in some wine
that he had found elsewhere to make
up tlio deficiency. Christ did not
walk on the sea, but on tho shore, so
near that it seemed as if he really wero
on tho water.
What is still more alarming is, that
Christian men dare not meet this ridi
cule. There Is not one Christian man
in five that can, unblanched, stand in
. the presence of all this railery, ray
ing: “I believe in the whole Bible,
and in every single statement that it
makes.” Christian men try to soften
the Bible down to suit the skeptics.
The skeptics sneer at tlio divitliug of
the lied sea; and tlio Christian goes
to explaining that tho wind blew a
hurricane from one direction a good
while, until ail the water piled up;
and besides, that it was low water any
how, and so the Israelites went
through without any trouble. Why
not be frank and say: “1 believe the
Lord Cod Almighty came to tho brink
of the Bed sea. and with his right arm
swung back the billows on the right
side, and with his left arm swung
hack the billows on tho left side,
and the abashed water stood up
hundreds of feet high, while ]
through their ' glassy wall the j
sea monsters gazed with affrighted
eyes on tho passing Israelites?” The
rationalist comes to you saying: “How
about Jonah and the whale? Do you
really believo that fish story ?” Thero
were never so many Nantucket fisher
men after one whale as there have
been rationalists dinging harpoons at
tho Mediterranean sea monster, and
from that one whale they have got
enough oil to light ten thousand souls
to perdition. A skeptic tells you that
Jonah would have been killed in the
2 . - process of swallowing, and that he
could noL anyhow, liavo lived three
days in such close quarters, but
would have been smothered by the
>r ventilation. How the good Chris-
immediately go to work, and
i explain the whole thing by nat-
iws. so as to pleaso tlio rational-
; say that the whale is an air
ish; that every little while
to the surface, un_d that the
and ho could take Jonah through
whale’s throaU although the throat
would not have-been half largo enough
ordinarily to let him pass, and could
have kept him alivo in the whale five
years without any air, if he had chosen
to? Who made the whale? God.
Who made Jonah? God. Then ho
could do anything he pleased with
either of them.
WHAT REMAINS OF THE BIBLE WITH
OUT .MYSTERY?
The moment you begin to explain
away the miraculous and supernat
ural, you surrender the Bible. Tako
tlio eujic-ri'.atural out of the Bible, and
yon make it a collection of lies and
humbugs, in preference to which I
choose “aEsop’s Fables.” They are
what they pretend to be—fables. But
if, after all that tho Bible declares, Jesus
is not God, and Lazarus was not raised
from the dead, and tho water was not
turned into wine, and the lied Sea was
net divided, and in answer to prayer
Hczekiah’s boil did not get well, then
tho Bible is the worst fraud ever per
petrated in God’s universe.
Ah! my friends, have we been mis
taken? Docs God hear and answer
prayer, or does he not? Hezekiah was
sick unto death; he prayed for his
life; God heard him, and added fif
teen years to that lifetime. Tho prayer
saved him—the lump of figs applied
being merely tho God appointed hu
man instrumentality“I3ut,” _ says
sorao one, “1 don’t believe the Bibie.”
All! then we will have to part com
pany for four or five minutes, for it is
useless to try to argue with any man
with whom you cannot stand upon
common ground. In any argument,
if you would be successful, there must
lx* some common data to start from.
It is foolish to try to prove to a man
that twice three arc six, provided he
docs not admit tho multiplication
lublo, or that two and two are four, if
In* does not admit the addition table.
My brat address, therefore, is to
those who do believe in the Bible. I
want to tell you that prayer is the
mightiest of all remedies, and that the
allopathic and homeo]»athic and the
eclectic schools will yet acknowledge
it. licit; are two cases of sickness pre
cisely alike: tho same kind of medi
cine is given to both of them, and_ in
Tho one patient
other does noL
blesses the one remedy
and does not bless t-lio other. Prayer
tu.s helped many a blundering doctor
through with a case that would have
otherwise become completely unman
ageable. There is such a thing as
Gospel hygiene, as Christian phar
macy, as divine materia mediea. That
is a ioolish man who, in case of sick
ness, goes only to human resources
when we lmvc these instances of
tlio Lord's help in tho sick room. Bo-
I fore you cull tho doctor, while he is |
j there, and after he goes away, look up
to him who cured Hezekiah. Let the
apothecary send the poultice, but God
makes it draw. Oh! 1 am glad tohave
a doctor who knows how to pray. God
seuu salvation to all the doctoral Sick
ness would-be oftener balked, death
would bo oftener hurled back from
tlio door sill, if medical men come
into tlio sick room, like Isaiah of the
text, with a prescription in tlieir hands,
and tho word of the Lord in their
mouths.
SOME MEN WHO BELIEVED IN PRAYER.
John Abercrombie, the most cele
brated physician of Scotland, prayed
when ho went into tho sick room, and
ho wrote no more ably about “dis
eases of tho brain” than about “the
philosophy of the moral feelings.” I
don’t know how much of tho medical
success of Sydenliam, and Cooper, and
Harvey, and Bush, depended upon the
Lppem
said to the passengers of the Alexan
drian corn slap that they should get
safe ashore, but he told them they
must use means, and that was: “Stick
to the old shipl” God is not weak,
needing our help, but God is strong,
and asks us to co-operate with him
that we may be strong, too. Pray by
all means, but don't forget tho fig
poultice.
THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER ILLUS
TRATED.
That God answers prayers offered in
the right spirit, seconded by our own
effort, is tho first and the last lesson of
this text, and it is a lesson that this
ago needs to learn. If all communi
cation between heaven and earth is
cut off, let us know it If all the
Christian prayers that are going up
toward God never reach him, then, I
•ay. let silence smite the Ups of the
afflicted world, and the nations smother
their groans and die quietly. God
does answer prayer. The text shows
it. You say: “I don’t believe the
Bible ; I think that those things wero
merely coincidences, which are
often brought as answers to prayer.
Do you sav that? Was it mere
happen so that _ Elijah prayed
for rain just as tho rain was going to
come anyhow? Did .Daniel pray, in
tho wild beasts’ den just at tno time
when all tho lions happened to have
lockjaw? Did Jesus pray at the grave
of Lazarus just at tho time when Laz
arus was going to dress himself and
come out anyhow? Did Jesus.lose liis
place in his sermon and make a mis
take when he said: “Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto
you?” And, lest somo wero so; stupid
they could not understand it, he goes
on: “For every one that asketh. re-
ceiveth, and lie that seeketh fiiuletb,
and to him that kuockcth it shall he
opened.”
But some one persists in saying: “1
don't believe anything of the Bible.
Then I appeal to your own instincts.
Prayer in certain circumstances is as
natural to man as the throbbing in tho
pulse, as the respiration of the lungs.
Put a company of men—I don't care
liow bad they are—in 6ome imminent
peril, and they will cry out: “God
nave mercy on usl” I challenge that
these men who don’t believe in prayer
charter a steamer, go oiit in the “Nar
rows,” swing out eight or nine hun
dred miles to sea, and then heave to
and wait for a cyclone. And after the
cyclone comes and tlio vessel lias go
under ten times, when they did n
expect it would rise again, and the
bulwarks have been knocked in, and
tlio masts are gone—if they do not
pray, I will surrender ray theory. Do
you tell me that this instinct vdiich God
has put in us, ho put there just to
mock us for his own cruel amusement?
li God implanted that iastir «t in
human heart, it was because in his ©wn
heart there was something responsive.
To prove that God does hear prayer,
I put on tho witness stand Abraham,
T*nftf , Jacob, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Micah,
ufleQ his hat, and caned upon the
Lord Almighty? Or of George Wash
ington, who at Valley Forge was
found upou his knees in prayer? Ur
of William Wilberforce. who went
from the British parliament to the
closet of devotion? Or of Latimer,
who stood with his hands on fire, in
martyrdom, praying for ' his perse
cutors? Was Washington weak? Wss
Havelock weak? Was Wilberforce
weak? Was Latimer weak? Bring
all the affaire of your store, of your
soul, of your body, of your-friends, of
your church, before him, and tho
great day of eternity will show you
Uiat the bast investments you ever
mado were your prayers, and though
you may have broken promises you
made to God, Gcd never broko his
promises to you. Lot God bo true,
though every man ba found a liar.
PRAYERS ARE ALMOST INVARIABLY AN-
BWEItED.
And now, in conclusion, I have to
present you some checks, blank, checks,
on the bank of heaven, written in
blood, and signed by tho hand wound
ed on tho cross. It is not safe for you
to give a blank check with your name
to it You do not know what might
bo written above. But here is a blank
check which God says 1 can give you;
it is signed by the handwriting of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and you can fill it
up with anything you want to. “Ask,
and it shall'bo given to you; seek, and
yo shall find.” I do uot say that your
prayer will bo answered in just the
ray you expect, but 1 do say it will
bo answered in tho best way. Ohl
will you test him? This is the out
come of all this subject.
If 1 should ask the men and women
in this audience who hove found God
a prayer answering God to rise up,
you would nearly all riso up. In time
of darkness anti trouble, as in time of
light and prosperity, lie answered you.
1 commend you to that God to whom
your parents dedicated you in infancy.
They believed fo much in 'prayer that
their last word was a supplication for
you. Having heard you in days of
prosperity, ho will uot reject your last
petition, when in the darkened room,
after they have wiped the dew of
death from your brow, and the whole
group of loved ones have kissed you
good-by, you have only strength
enough left to pray: “Lora Jesus, re 1
ceivo my spiritl”

If God made us (and I think he did),
and if tlio Bible is true (and 1 am
rather disposed to think it is), then it
is not strange that prayer dees tra
verse natural cause; ay, that it intro
duces a new cause. When God mado

our bodies, when they are broken, he
is the one to mend them: and it is rea
sonable that we should call him in
to do it. If my furnace in the

is not all, as these physicists tell us, a
matter of ventilation or poisoned air,
of cleanliness or dirt, of nutritious
diet or poor fare. I have known people
toget well in rooms where the windows
had been six weeks down, tight shut,
and I have known them to die right
under patent ventilators. I have
known children sickly who every day
had their bath, and I have known
children robust, tho washing of whose
faces would make their features un
recognizable.
God did not make tho law and then
run away from it. What is a law of
nature? It is only God’s usual way of
doing things. But ho lias said that if
his children ask him to' do a thing, j
and ho can consistently do it, ho will
do it. Go on with your pills, and
plasters, and nostrums, anu elixirs,
and your catholicon, but remember
that tho mightiest agency in your re
covery is prayer. Prayer to God
brought tlio king’s cure, the lump of

strumentality.

another lesson of the subject—that our

The remarkable coolness of a Pitts

that tho officials thought that perhaps

hopeless sickness, as it seemed to many.
At 3 o’clock on Saturday afternoon the

being Sunday, standing in this very
place, a man of God prayed for tho
recovery of the sick one. At' that
time, 11 o’clock, she who had been
E rostrated three weeks, with some
elp, walked up en deck. The occur
rence was as near tp being miraculous
as 1 can imagine. That she was hoi>e-
lessly sick, people who sat
with her niglit after night,
are here, can testify. , That
prayer for her recovery was offer
ed in this pnlpit, thousands of
people could testify. Tliat at 11
o'clock on tliat Sunday morning she
walked up on deck, ashy a miraculous
recovery; I call the passeugcra on tho
