WASHINGTON', April 9. In the first no

Charles 11. Spurgeon of London wrote the
great English minister said he was glad to
find a preacher that heli, wd somethin..'
I’his discourse of Dr. Talmage is in that
vi in ami maps close adhere., e to the old
gospel; text, II Samuel xxiii. 10, “Ami his
hand clave unto the sword.
What a glorious thing * > nr, wh the
gospel! Some suppose that because I have
resigned a fixed pastorate I will cease to
preach No! No! I expect to preach
more than I ever have. If the Lord will,
four times as much, though in manifold
places 1 would not dare to halt with such
opportunity to dec hire, the truth through
the ear toaudiem i s and to tho eye through
the printing pre-s. And here we have a
stirring theme put before ins by the prophet.
A great general of King David was
Eleazar, the hero of the I, Phil's
tines opened battle against him, and his
troops retreated Tho cowards slid.
Eleazar and three of his comrades went
into t he battle and swept the field, for four
men with God on their side are stronger
than a whole regiment with God against
them “Fall back!’' shout d the com
mander of the Philistine ... y Theory
ran along tho host, “Fall back!'' Eleazar,
having swept the field, th;> ws himself on
the ground to rest, but the muscles and
sinews of his hand had been so long bent
around the hilt of hissword that tho hilt
was imbedded in the flesh, and the gold
wire of the hilt had broken through the
skin of the palm of the hand, and hecould
not drop this sword which he had so gal
lantly wielded “His hand clave unto tho
sword." That is what I call magnificent
lighting for the Lord God of Israel And
we want more of it.
I propose to show you how Eicaz.ir took
hold of tho sword and how the sword took
hold of Eleazar. I look at Eleazar's hand,
and I come to the conclusion that he took
the sword with a very tight grip. Tho
cowards who fled had no trouble in drop
ping their swords. As they .fly over tho
rocks I hear their swords clanging in ev
ery direction. It is easy enough for them
to drop their swords. But Eleazar’s hand
clavo unto tho sword. In this Christian
conflict we want a tighter grip of the gos
pel weapons, a tighter grasp of the two
edged sword of tho truth. It makes mo
sick to see these Christian people who hold
only a part of the truth and let the rest
of tiie truth go, so that the Philistines,
seeing tho loosened grasp, wrench tho
whole sword away from them.
The Only Safe Thing.
Tho only safe thing for us to do is to
put our thumb on the book of Genesis and
sweep our hand around the book until tho
New Testament comes into the palm and
keep on sweeping our hand around tho
book until the tips of the fingers clutch at
the words. “In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.’’ I like an in
fidel a great deal better than I do one of
these namby pamby Christians who hold
a part of the truth and let the rest go. By
miracle, God preserved this Bible just as
it is, and it is a Damascus blade. The se
verest test to which a sword can be put in
a sword factory is to wind the blade
around a gun barrel like a riblion, ami
then, when the sword is let loose, it flies
back to its own shape. So the sword of
God’s truth has been fully tested, and it
is bent this way and that way and wound
this way and that way, but it always
comes back to its own shape. Think of
it! A book written near 19 centuries ago.
and some of it thousands of years ago.
and yet in our time the average sale of
this book is more than twenty thousand
copies every week and more than a mil
lion copies a year. I say now that a book
which is divinely inspired and divinely
kept and divinely scattered is a weapon
worth holding a tight grip of. Bishop
Colensowill come along and try to wrench
out of your hand the five books of Moses,
and Strauss will come along anil try to
wrench out of your hand the miracles,
and Renan will come along and try- to
wrench out of your hand the entire life of
the Lord Jesus Christ, and your associates
in tho office or the factory or the banking
house will try to wrench out of your hand
the entire Bible, but in the strength of tho
Lord God of Israel and with Eleazar's
grip hold on to it. You give up the Bible,
you give up any part of it, and you give up
pardon and peace and life and heaven.
Do not be ashamed, young mail, to have
the world know that you are a friend of
the Bible. This book is tho friend of all
that is good, and it is the sworn enemy of
all that is bad. An eloquent writer re
cently gives an incident of a very bad man
Who stood in a cell of a western prison.
This criminal had gone through all styles
of crime, and ho was there waiting for tho
gallows Tho convict standing there at
the window of tho cell, this writer says,
“looked out and declared. ‘I am an infi
del. ' He said that to all the men and wom
en and children who happened to be gath
ered there, ‘I am an infidel,’ ’’ and tho
eloquent writer says, “Every man and
woman there believed him." And the
Writer goes on to say, “If he hail stood
. there saying, ‘I am a Christian,’ every
tnan and woman would have said. ‘ll. is
a liar!’ "
The Enemy of Wrong.
This Bible is the sworn enemy of all
that is wrong, audit, is the friend of all
that is good. Oh, hold on it! Do not take
part of it and throw- the rest away. Hold
on to all of it There are so many people
now who do not know You ask them if
the soul Is immortal, and they say: “I
lb.'w>- it is; I don't know. Perhaps it Is;
perhaps it isn’t." Is the Biblotrue “Well,
D’rhaps it is, and perhaps it isn't l’i r
'I:IPS it may be, figuratively, and perhaps
it may be partly, and perhaps it may not
heat all." They despise what they call
the apostolic creed, but if their own ereed
were written out it would read like this:
T believe in nothing, the maker of heaven
and earth, and in nothing which it hath
wnt, which nothing was born of nothing
and which nothing was dead and buried
and descended into nothing and arose
from nothing and ascended to nothing and
now sitteth at the right hand of nothing
from which it will come to judge nothing.

It e hl- ;nit of ’: 1. getfulm He did
>(■'■ r.' liw that tl.i i.iit of the sword was
eating tliri .:g't the palm of his hand. He
did not know it hurt him. As he went
out into the e.imbi t he was so anxious for
the victory ho forgot himself, and that
hilt might, go never so deeply into the
palm of Lis hand, it could not disturb him.
“His liaml claw unto the sword.'’ Oh,
my brothers and sisters, let us go into the
Christian conflict with the spirit of self
abnegation. Who cares whether the world
praises us or denounces us? What do we
i ire for misrepresentation or abuse or
persecution in a conflict like this? Lotus
forget ourselves. That man who is afraid
of getting his hand hurt will never kill a
Philistine. Who cares whether you git
hurt or not if you get tho victory? Oh,
how many Christians there are who are
all the time worrying about the way the
world treats them. They are so tired, and
they are so alftised, and they are so tempt
ed. when Eleazar did not think whether
lie had a hand or an arm or a foot. All he
wanted was victory.
We see. how men forget themselves in
worldly achievement. We have often seen
men who, in order to achieve Worldly suc
ce-.s, will forget all physical fatigue and
all annoyance .mil all obstacle. Just after
the battle of Yorktown, in tho American
Revolution, a musician, wounded, was
told ho must have his limbs amputated,
and they were about to fasten him to the
surgeon 's table, for it was long before the
merciful di.-eovery of ana-st het ies. He said,
"No, don’t fasten me to that table; get
me a violin.” A violin was brought to
him. ami lie said, “Now go to work as I
begin to play,” and for -10 minutes, dur
ing the awful pangs of amputation, ho
moved not a muscle nor dropped a note,
while he played some sweet tune. Oh, is
it not strange that with the music of tho
gospel of Jesus Christ and with this grand
march of the. church militant on the way
t > become the church triumphant we can
not forget ourselves and forget all pang
and all sorrow and all persecution and all
perturbation?
We know what num accomplish under
worldly opposition. Men do not shrink
back for antagonism or for hardship. You
have admired Prescott’s “Conquest of
Mexico,” as brilliant and beautiful a his
tory as was ever written, but some of you I
may not know under what disadvantages
it, was written—that. “Conquest of Mex
ico”-—for Prescott was totally blind, and
he had two pieces of wood parallel to each
other fastened, ami, totally blind, with.his
pen between those pieces of wood, he,
wrote, the st rokc against one piece of wood
telling how far the pen must go in one
way. the stroke against tho other piece, of
wood telling how far tho pen must go the
other way. Oh, how much men will en
dure forworldly knowledge and for world
ly success, and yet how little we enduro
for Jesus Christ! How many Christians
there are that go around saying: “Oh, my
hand; oh, my hand, my hurt hand! Don’t
you see there is blood on the hand, and
there is blood on tho sword?” while
Eleazar, with the hilt imbedded in the
flesh of his right hand, does not kuow it.
Must I bo carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win tho prize
Or sailed through bloody seas?
Slltterintt’ I’or Chi-isCs Sake.
What have we suffered in comparison
with those who expired with suffocation
or were burned or were ehopped to piece's
for the truth's sake? We talk of the per
secution of olden times. There is just as
much persecution going on now in various
ways, in 1: 19. in Madagascar, IS men
were put to death for Christ's sake. They
were to be hurled over the rocks, and be
fore they were hurled over the rocks, in
order to make their death the more dread
ful in anticipation, they were put in bas
kets and swung to and fro over the preci
pice that they might see how many hun
dred feet they would have to lie dashed
down. ar>d while they were swinging in
these b rnkets over the rocks they sang:
,’rsus, lover of my soul.
Let me to thy bosom fly.
. ill- the billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Then they were dashed down to death
Oh. how much others have endured for
Christ, and how little we enduro for
Christ! We want to ride to heaven in a
Pullman sleeping car, our feet on soft
plush, the bed made up early, so we can
sleep all the way, the black porter of death
to wake us up only in time to enter the
golden city We want all the surgeons to
lix our hand up. Let them bring on all
the lint and all the bandages and all the
salve, for our hand is hurt, while Eleazar
does not know his hand is hurt. “His
hand clave unto the sword. ”
As I look at Eleazar's hand I come to
the conclusion that he has done a great
deal of hard hitting. lam not surprised
when J see that these four men—Eleazar
and his three companioifs drove back the
army of Philistines —that Eleazar's sword
clave to his liaml, for everytime he struck
an enemy with one end of tho sword the
other end of the sword wounded him.
When l:e took hold of the sword, the sword
took hold of him.
Oh. we have found an enemy who can
not be I'linquiTed by rosewater and soft
speeches It must bo sharp stroke and
straight thrust. There is intemperance,
and there is fraud, and there is gambling,
and there is lust, and there are ten thou
sand I attaliotis of iniquity, armed Philis
tine ii : juity How are they to be cap
tured and overthrown? Soft sermons in
morocco eases laid down in front of an ex
quisite audience will not do it. You have
got to call things by their right name.
Yim have gut to expel from our churches
Christians who ent the sacrament-on Sun
day and devour widows' houses all the
week. We have got to stop our indigna
tion agailist the Hittites and the Jelmsites
and tho Gil ' i -bites and let those poor

our prayers or criticise our religious work
that our anxiety for the world's redemp
tion is lost in the fear We will get our
hand hurt, while Eleazar went into tho
conflict, “and his hand clave unto the
sword. '
Hut I see in the next place wlmt a hard
thing it Was for Eleazar to gi t his hand
and his sword part .I. The muscles and
the sinews had been so 1-mg grasped
around the sword he could not dr .p it
when Lio proposed to drop it. ami his thri-o
comrades, I suppose, came up and tried to
b.-lp him, and they bathed the back part
of the hand, hoping the sinews and mus
cles would relax. But, no. ‘ His hand
clave unto the sword.” Then they tried
to pull open the fingers and to pull back
the thumb, but no sooner were they pulled
back than they closed again, “and his
hand clave unto the sword.” But after
awhile they were successful, and then they
tmticed that the curve in the palm of the
hand corresponded exactly with the curve
of tie.- hilt. " His hand clave unto the
sword.
i on and I have seen it many a time.
There are in the United States today many
ag. d ministers of the gospel. They are
too feel.lo now to preach. In the church
ri i ’.rd- the word -landing iqiposite their
limn ■ . - "emeritus,” or tie words are,
“a minister without charge. ” They were
a heroic race. They had small salaries
and blit few books, and they swam spring
freshets to meet their appointments. But
they did in their day a mighty work for
God. They took off more of the heads of
Philistine iniquity than you could count
from noon to sundown. You put that old
minister of the gospel now into a prayer
meeting or occasional pulpit ora sickroom
where there is some one to be comforted,
and it is the same old ring to his voice,
and the same old story of pardon and
peai.e and Christ and heaven. His hand
has so long clutched the sword in Chris
tian conflict hi- cannot drop it. “His band
lave unto the sword. ”
Ardor l-’or Christ.
I had in my parish in Philadelphia a
very aged man who in his early life had
; been the companion and adviser of tho
. early presidents. Madison and Monroe,
j Ho had wielded vast influence, but I only
knew him as a very aged man. The most
remarkable thingabout him was his ardor
for Christ. When he could not stand up
in the meetings without propping, he
would throw his arm around a pillar of
the church, and, though his mind was
partially gone, his love for Christ was so
great that all were in deep respect and
profound admiration, and wore moved
when he spoke. I was called to see him
die. I entered the room, and he said,
“Mr. Talmage, I cannot speak to you
now’." Ho was in fi very pleasant de
lirium, as he imagined he had an audience
before him. He said, “I must tell these
people to come to Christ and prepare for
heaven.” And then in this pleasant de
lirium, both arms lifted, this octogenarian
preached Christ and told of the glories of
the world to come. There, lying on his
dying pillow, his dying hand clave to his
sword.
Oh, if there ever was any one who had
a right to retire from the conflict, it was
old Joshua. Soldiers come back from bat
tle have the names of tho battles on their
flags, showing where they distinguished
thi-mselves. ami it is a very appropriate
inscription. Look at that flag of old Gen
eral Joshua. On it, Jericho, Gibeon, Ha
zar, city of Ai, and instead of the stars
sprinkled on t he flag the sun and the moon
which stood st ill. There hois, 110 years
old. He is lying flat on his back, but he is
preaching. His dying words are a battle
charge against idolatry and a rallying cry
for the Lord of Hosts as ho says, “Behold,
this day I go the way of ali the earth, and
God hath not failed to fulfill his promise
concerning Israel. ’ His dying hand clave
unto the sword.
There is tin- headless body of Paul on
the road to Ostea. His great brain and
his great heart have been severed. Thu
elmwood rods had stung him fearfully.
When the- corn ship broke up. ho swam
ashore, coming up drenched with the
brine. Every day since that day when the
horse reared under him in the suburlis of
Damascus, as the supernatural light, fell
down to this day, when he is (>S years <-f
age and ill from tho prison cell of the
Mamertine, he has been outrageously
treated, and he is waiting to du-. How
does be spend his last hours? Telling the
world how badly he feels and describing
the rheumatism that he, got in prison, the
rheumatism afflicting his limbs, or the
neuralgia piercing his temples, or the
thirst that- fevers his tongue? Oh, no! His
hint words are the battle shout for Chris
tendom: “lam now ready to bo offered,
and the time of my departure is at bund.
- good fight. ” And so his
dying hand clave unto the sword.
It was in the front room on the sei -nd
floor that my father lay allying. It was
Saturday morning. 4 o’clock. Just three
years before that day my mother had left
him fur Ihe skies, and he had bei-n I'.ome
sick to join her company. He was >3
years of age. Ministers of the gospel came
in tocumfort him, but he comforted them.
How wonderfully the words sounded out
from his dying pillow, “I have been young
and now am old, yet have I new r seen
the righteous forsaken or his seed begging
broad ’ They bathed his brow, ami they
Lathed his hands, and they bathed hi- feet,
and they succeeded in straightening out
the feet, but they did not succeed in bath
ing open the hand so it would stay open.
They Lathed the hand open, but it came
shut. They bathed it open again, but it
camo shut. What w;i- the matt, r with tie
thumb and the fingers of that old hand?
' Ah, it had so long touched the sv. rd f
Christian conflict that his hand i i >-
unto the sword. ”

A GOLDEN NOSE.
Tlanisli Astronomer Who Conlil Givi
t yrano Some Point*.
The extraordinary success of “Cyrano
de Bergerac” will doubtless lead to the
production of many plays of the same na
ture. As a hint to ambitious playwrights
it may bo mentioned that the life of Tycho
Brahe, the Danish astronomer, double dis I
counts Cyrano's in picturesque qualities '
and theatrical possibilities. The real Cy
rano was very little like his namesake of
the theater, but old Tycho could bo put
upon the boards with little or no change.
He was astronomer, poet, painter, fight
er and what not. James I of England,
when he was James A’l of Scotland, called I
on Tycho, made him presents, and, sad to
relate, wrote verses about it. Emperors
called Brahe friend and felt themselves
honored thereby. Honors were heaped
upon him, yet he married the peasant girl
of his choice, which raised such a rumpus
between him and his family that, tho king
w as obliged to act as peacemaker.
Like Cyrano, he was ready to fight at
the drop of the hat, with or without provo
cation, and was an excellent swordsman.
When we come to tho principal feature
of Cyrano's divergence from the normal
type, old Tycho puts him in the shade.
Cyrano merely had a long nose; Tycho
had a gold one —gold and covered with
wax so skillfully that it could hardly bn
noticed! He lust the proboscis with which
nature, provided him in a duel and made
the substitute himself. It is said that
Kepler owes his fame to Brahe's careful
teaching. Tho man's life all the way
through was filled with romantic inci
dents.
The playwright might introduce James
I’s verses to bring a touch of pathos into
tlie play.—Criterion.
