REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN LINE'S DAY SERMON. Subject: “ Slanders Against Religion Ansnci . . Ml. . ., - Text: Ar.d I Urol: the little ..... book , out , oj , fAe angel s hand, and ate it up; and it was tn my month sweet cs honey, and as soon as I had eaten it mu belly was bitter. And He said unto me: Thou mustpropnesy again before many peoples, ana nations, and tongues, and kings. —Rev. x., 10-11. Domitian, the Roman Emperor, had in his realm a troublesome evangelist who would keep preaching, and so he exiled him to a barren island, as now the Russians exile con victs to Siberia, or as sometimes the English Government used to send prisoners to called Aus tralia. The island I speak of is now Patmos, and is so barren and unproductive that its inhabitants live by Ashing. of whom 1 But one dav the evangelist speak, sitting at the mouth of a cavern on the hill-side, and perhaps half asleep under the drone of the sea, has a supernatural dream, and before him pass as in panorama. time and eternity. Among the strange things that he saw was an angel with a littls book in his hand, and in his dream the evangelist the angel asked fpi it this little book, and gave to him, and told him to eat it up As in a dret.ra tilings arc sometimes in congruous, the evangelist took the little book and ate it up. The angel told him before hand that it would be very sweet in the mouth, but afterward he would be troubled with indigestion. True enough, the evange*- him ist devours the book, and mastication, it becomes but to after a sweetness during the ward Who a physical angel bitterness. and what the book was tne was no one can tell. The commentators do not agree, and I shall take no responsibility toil that Ol interpretatvOn, but will you it suggests to me the little boos of creeds which skeptics take and chew up and find a very luscious morsel to their witticism, but after a while it is tc them a great distress. The angel of the church bands out this iittle oook of evangel ism, and the antagonists of the Christian Church take it and eat it up, and it make, them smile at first, hut afterward it is tc them a dire dyspepsia, All intelligent people have creeds that is, favorite theories which they have adopted. tariff, Political creeds—that is theories about about finance, about civil service, about government. Social creeds-that is, theories about manners and customsand good neigh borhood. .-Esthetical creeds that is theories about tapestry, about bric-a-brac, about styles of ornamentation. Religious creeds— thatis. theories about the Deffv, about the soul, about the great future. The only being who has no creed about anything is the idiot. This scoffing against creeds is always a sign of profound ignorance on the part of the scoffer, for he has himself a hundred creeds m regard to other things. Iu our time the belie; s of evangens tic churches are under a fusilade of carica ture and misrepresentation. Men set up what they call orthodox faith, and they rake it with the musketry of their denunciation. They falsify what the Christian churches be lieve. 'J'liey take evangelical doctrines and set them in a harsh and repulsive way and put them out ot the association with other tenths. Ifiey are ... like a mauanatom.se,who, . ,__. . desiring to tell what a man is, dissects a hu toian body and hangs up in on 0 placet e heart, and in another place the two lungs, and in another place an ankle bone, and says that is a man. They are only fragments of a man wrenched out of their God-appointed places. Evangelical religion is healthy, • symmetri¬ a cal, well-jointed, roseate, bounding fife, and the scalpel and the dissecting knife of the in¬ fidel or the atheist cannot tell you what it is. Evangelical religion is as different from xvhat lt is represented to be by these enemieJ as the scarecrow which a farmer' fir .In” cornfield to kee *’ ’ * r “ m these enemies of evangelism « /"that God is“a the savage^SoVereigm Presbyterian Church believes that and ttat He made some le men just to damn them, lonV and that there are infants mfants in in hell hall a a snan span long.

(ted is The The loving Presbyterian Tresbytenan and just a Sovereign, “No, and that we are free agents. no; that cannot be,” say these men who bave chewed up the creed and have the con sequent embittered stomach. “That is impos Bible; if God is a Sovereign, we can’t be free agents.” Why, my friends, we admit this in every other direction.

The President of the United States; he is my national sovereign. Four sovereigns have I. and yet in every faculty of body, mind and soul I am a free man. So, you see, it is possible that the two doctrines go side by siue. and there is a common-sense way of presenting it, an l there is a wav that is repulsive. If you have the two doctrines in a worldly direction, why not in a religious di rection t If I choose to-morrow morning to walk into the Mercantile Library and ini prove my mind, or to go through the conservatory of my friend at Ja maica, who has flowers from all lauds growing under the arches o; glass, and who has an aquarium all asquirm with trout and gold fish, and and bananas—if there are I trees bearing there, oranges want to go I could.

And then these enemies of evangelism go on and hold up the great doc trlues 0 f Christian churches as absurd, dry all( j inexplicable technicalities. “There is your doctrine of the Trinitv." they say. -‘Absurd beyond all bounds. The idea that there is a God in throa persons. Impossible, if it is one God He can't bo three, and if there are tbrae- there can't be one." At the same t j lne a p G f us —they with us—acknowledge trinities all around us. Trinity in Body our with own make-up—body, mind. soul. which we move, mind with which we think, ’ soul with which we love. Three. „ 0{j one mau . Trinity in the air— Wht heat moisture—yet one atmosphere, judges Trinity in the court room—three on the bench, but one court Trinities all around about us, iu enrthlv government and in nature. Of course, all the illustrations are defective, for the reason that the natural cannot fully illustrate the spiritual. But suppose an ignorant man should come np to the chemist and say: “I deny what you say about the water and about the air ; they are not made of different parts. The air is on0; j breathe it every day. The water You j s one; I drink it every day. can ’t deceive me about the elements that go to make up the air and the water.” The chemist would say: “You come up into my laboratory and Twill demonstrate this whole thing to you.” The ignorant man goes into the chemist’s cj laboratory and sees for him solf e i earns that the water is one and the air is on6t but they are made up of different parts. So hero is a man who ; “I can’t understand the doctrine of th Trinity." God says: “You come up bore into the laboratory after your death, and y OU will see—you will seo it explained, you will see it demonstrated.” Tne ignorant man cannot understand the chemistry of the water and the air until he goes into'the l a - boratory, Trin and tfe "dll into never heaven. understand The igno- the ity until wo go understanefthe rauce of the tfian who cannot chemistry of the air aui water does not change the fact in regard to the comDOsition J air and water. Because we cannot under anl the Trinity, does that change the fact; “And there is your absurd doctrine about inHfifi ^. ration chewed^up’the hv faith ” s-iv theso a nta ironists h o have little book ol evan gelism, and have the consequent embittered stomach—“justification bv faith; Itissimplv you can't explain it.” I can explain it. tb Christ ; g . \yp 0ll a m(111 ta.tes the Lord Jesus as his Saviour from sin, God lets the o iy 0m | 8r off.

That is regeneration. A. man 7^ loaded, ^ up with sin xour observation lias been very e * small ^^ted. m deed if you have not seen changes in charac tcr ^ ra oical as chao. A man came into this church one nigfafc, and he was intoxicated, and at an utterance of the pulpit he said in a subdued tone: “That’s a lie.” An officer of the church tapped him on the shoulder and said: “You must be silent, or you must go out,” The next night that stranger He came and ho was converted to God. was in the liquor business. Ho resigned the business. Tho next day ho sent back the samples that had just been sent to him. He began to love that which he hated. I baptized him by imrner sion in tho baptistry under this platform, A largo salary was offered him if he would return to his former busi ness. Ho declined it. He would rather suffer with Jesus Christ than ba pros¬ pered in tho world. He wrote home a letter to his Christian mother. The Christian mother wrote back congratulating him, and said: “If in the change of your business you have lack of means, come home; you are always welcome home.” He told of his conversion to a dissolute companion. Tho dissolute companion said: "♦Veil, if you have become a Christ an, you had better go over and talk to th .t dying girl. She is dying with quick consumption in that house.” The new con¬ vert went there. AU the surroundings were dissolute. He told the dying girl, that Jesus would save her. “Oh,'’ said she, “thas cant be, that can’t be! vvhat maxes you think so!” “1 have it here in a took in my pocket," ^ ne replied. He pulled out a New Testament. She said: “Show it to me; if i can be saved, show it to me m that book.” He said: “I have neglected this book as you I don bav« neglected where it for many years, and t know to find it. but I know it is somewhere between the lids.” Then he began to turn over the leaves, and strange and beautiful to say, his ^ye struck upon this passage: “Neither do 1 condemn thee; go and sin no more.’* She *aid: “It oossiblo that is there. “Yet,” _ ret he said, “that is there. He held it up before her dying eves, and she said “• >h, yes, see it for myself; acc^pw the promise: Neither do I condemn thee; her spirit go and sped sin away no more.’/ to tne Lord In a few that hours rrmchedthe gave ™ 1 conver t fun*ra, ermon. -.he man who l a few days before been a blasphemer and a drunkawu and a hater of £1 that waa good, be preached the sermon.

The scoffing sea captain, bis heart full of hatred for Christianity, now becomes a follower of the meek an A lowly Jesus, Riv ing all the time to evangelical labors, or all t he time he can spare from other occupations, That is regeneration, that is regeneration, Man all made over again, “ There is your absurd doctrine of yioorl ous saeriflee," say those men who have chewed up the little book of creeds and have the consequent embittered stomach. “Vicari ous sacrifice ! bet every m m suffer for him self. Why do I want Christ to suffer tor mo I HR suffer for myself and carry my own bur dens.” They scoff at the idea of vicarious sacrifice, while they admire it everywhere else except in Christ. -*■ eople see its beauty when a mother suffers for her child, reon.o St,e Rs beauty when a. patriot suffers for nis country. People see its b unity when a man denies himself for a friend. They can see the beauty of vicarious sacrifice in every one but Christ. . A young in one tuitions was a teacher.

When the London plague was raging in tho year 1065, there was a hotel near the chief burial-pluco that excited much comment. England was in fright and bo reavement. The dead carts went through the streets day and night, and tho cry: “Bring out yonr was nnsvYcl, of^t.,» the bringing out of the forms loved ones, and they were put twenty or in a cart, and the wont; on to tho cemetery; ar.d these dead were not buried in graves, hut in greufc trenches, in great pits; in one pit eleven hundred and fourteen burials! Tne carts would come up with their great burden of twenty or thirty to the mouth of the pit. and the front of the cart was lifted and the dead shot into the pit. All the churches in London were open for prayer day and night, and England was iu great anguish. At that very time at a hotel, at a wayside inn near the chief burial-places, there was a group of hardened men. who sat day after Jay and night after grief-struck night blaspheming God and imitating the who went by to the burial-place. These men sat there day after day and nlgut after night, and they scoffed at scoffed mem, and God. they scoffed But after at women, while and they at a one of them was struck with tiie plague, and in two weeks all of tho group were down in the trench from tho margin of which they had uttered their ribaldry. My friends, a greater plague is abroad in the world. Millions have died of it. Millions are smitten with it nom Plague of sin, pkigue ol! sorrow, plague of wretchedness, plague of woe. And oonse* crated women and men from all Christendom are going out trying to stay tho there plague and alleviate of tho anguish, dnd is a vroup men in this country base snough to sit and deride tbo work.

The administration of the grandson of ‘•Old Tippecanoe” is to have a pleasnnt surprise. It is the inauguratiau of n “log ciibin ljy and hard cider” social cam¬ paign Senator Evarts. Mr. Evarts purchased a beautiful tract of land on the Maryland side of the Potomac, jest north id'the old bastion and cusemutcd granite Fort Washington, almost oppo¬ site Mount Vernon. and eleven miles from the capital. The cabin is sixty feet long, twenty-five feet wide and twelve feet between tho joiuts. It is fashioned after the Tippecanoe campaign order of architecture of forty odd years ago. It is built of logs hewn in the forest of the estate and raised and chinked in the olden style. It has the characteristic chimney and 4x7 l feet, capable of receiving hickpry logs cut on the estate to that traditional he! and historic length.
