WASHINGTON, May 21.—1 n these days of
moral awakening this pointed sermon by
Dr. Talmage on personal responsibility
before God will be rend with a deep anil
solemn interest; text. Daniel v, 27, “Thou
art weighed in the balances and art found
wanting."
Babylon was the paradise of architec
ture, and driven out from thence the
grandest buildings of modern times are
only the evidence of her fall. The site
having been selected for the city, 2,000,-
O(MJ men were employed in the rearing of
her walls and the building of her works.
It was a city 00 miles in circumference.
There was a trench all around the city,
from which the material for the building
of the city had been digged. There were
25 gates on each side of the city, between
every two gates a tower of defense spring
ing into the skies, from each gate on the
one side a street running straight through
to the corresponding gate on the other
side, so that there were 50 streets 15 miles
long. Through the city r .:i a I ;.meh of
the river Euphrates. This river some
times overflowed its banks, and to keep it
from ruining the city a lake was construct
ed into which the surplus water of the
river would run during the time of fresh
ets, and the water was kept in this art ill
rial lake until time of drought, and then
this water would stream down over the
city At either end of the bridge span
ning this Euphrates there was a palace—
the one palace a mile and a half around,
the other palace 7'S miles around.
The wife of Nebuchadnezzar had been
born and brought up in the country and
in a mountainous region, and she could
not bear this Hat district of Babylon, and
so, to please his wife, Nebuchadnezzar
built in the midst of the city a mountain
-lot) feet high. This mountain was built
out into terraces supported on arches. On
the top of these arches a layer of flat
stones, on the top of th;it a layer of reeds
and bitumen, on the top of that two layers
of bricks closely cemented, on the top of
that a heavy sheet of lead and. on the top
of that the soil placed—the soil so deep
that a Lebanon cedar had room to anchor
its roots. There wore pumps worked by
mighty machinery fetching up the water
from the Euphrates to this hanging gar
den. as it was called, so that there were
fountains spouting into the sky. Standing
below and looking up it must have seemed
ns if the clouds were in blossom or as
though the sky leaned on the shoulder of
a cedar. All this Nebuchadnezzar did to
pleaso his wife. Well, she ought to have
been pleased. I suppose she was pleased.
If that would not please her, nothing
would. There was in that city also the
temple of Bleus, w ith towers—one tower
the eighth of a mile high, in which there
was an observatory where astronomers
talked to the stars There was in that
temple an image, just one image, which
would cost what would be our $52,000,-
000 „
Handwriting on the Wall.
Oh, what a city! The earth never saw
anything like it, never will see anything
like it. And yet I have to tell you that it
is going to bo destroyed. The king and
his princes are at a feast. They are all in
toxicated. Dour out the rich wine into the
chalices! Drink to the health of the king!
Drink to the glory of Babylon! Drink
to a great future! A thousand lords reel
intoxicated The king seated uponachair,
with vacant look, as intoxicated men will
with vacant look stared at the wall. But
soon that vacant look takes on intensity,
and it is an affrighted look, and all the
princes begin to look and wonder what is
md they look at the same
point on the wall. And then there drops
a darkness into the room that puts out the
blaze of the golden plate, and out of the
sleeve of the darkness there comes a finger
—a finger of fiery terror, circling around
and circling around as though it would
write, and then it comes up, and with
sharp tip of flame, it Inscribes on the plas
tering of the wall the doom of the king,
■‘Weighed in the balances and found
wanting.”
The bang of heavy fists against the
gates of the palace is followed by the
breaking in of the doors. A thousand
gleaming knives strike into a thousand
quivering hearts. Now death is king,
and ho is seated on a throne of corpses.
In that haJl there is a balance lifted. God
swung it. On one side of the balance are
put Belshazzar's opportunities; on the
other side of the balance are put Belshaz
zar's sins. The sins come down. His
opportunities go tip. Weighed in the bal
ances—found wanting.
There has been a great deal of cheating
in < tir country with false weights and
measures and balances, and the govern
ment, to change that state of things, ap
pointed commissioners whoso business it
was to stamp weights and measures and
balances, and a great deal of tho wrong
has been corrected. But still, after all,
there is no such thing as a perfect balance
on earth. The chain may break, or some
of tho metal may be clipped, or in some
way tho equipoise may bo disturbed. You
cannot always depend upon earthly bal
ances. A pound is not always a pound,
and you may pay for one thing and get
another, but in the balance which is sus
pended to the throne of God a pound is a
pound, and right is right, and wrong is
wrong, and a soul is a soul, and eternity
is eternity. God has a perfect bushel and
a perfect peck and a perfect gallon. When
merchants weigh their goods in tho wrong
way, then tho Lord weighs tho goods
again. If from tho imperfect measure tho
pierchnnt pours out what pretends to be a
gallon of oil and there Is less than a gal
lon, God knows it, and he calls upon his
recording angel Io mark it, “So much
wanting in that measure of oil.” The
farmer comes in from tho country. He
has apples to sell. Ho has an Imperfect
measure. Ho pours out the apples from
t his Imperfect measure. God recognizes it.
He says to the recording angel, “Mark
down so many apples too few—an imper
fect measure. ” Wo may cheat ourselves,
and we may cheat the world, but we can
not cheat God, and in the great day of
judgment it will be found out that what
wo learned in boyhood at school is correct
—that 20 hundredweight makes a ton
and 120 solid feet make a cord of wood.
No more, no less. And a religion which
does not take hold of this life as well as
the life to come is no religion at all.

Hut, my friends, that is not the style of
balances I am to speak of today: that is
not the kind of weigh’s and measures. I
am to speak of that kind of balances which
weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh
men, weigh nations and weigh worlds
‘ 1 ' Lit p. -xiij,. tn„; (, t ,r
world is to l< w< l-rhed? ', Yes Why, you
■ would think if God put ( ,n one side of the
b.ilaiu <•« i, i. ,] f,th,, throw tho
A Ip- and the Pyri-i and the Himalayas
| and Mount Washington and all the cities
i 4 the iarth they would crush it. No, no!
i The time will <•<.(:■• wlen tied will sit
down on rhe white throw to see the world
, weighed, and on <>ne side will be tho
world's opportunities and on the other
side the world’s sins. Down will go the
sins, and away wili go the opportunities,
and God will say to the messengers with
tho torch: •‘Burn that world' Weighed
and found, wanting '. '
So God will weigh churches. He takes
a great church. That church, great ac
cording to tho worldly estimate, must be
weighed. He puts it on one side the bal
ances and the minister and the choir and
the building that cost its hundreds of
thousands of dollars, lie puts them on
one side the balances. On the other side
of the scale he (Hits what that church
ought to be, what its consecration ought
to be, what its sympathy for the poor
ought to be, what its devotion to all good
ought to be. That is on one side. That
side comes down, and tho church, not be
ing able to stand the test, rises in the bal
ances. It does not make any difference
about your magnificent machinery. A
church is built for one thing—to save
souls. If it saves a few souls when it:
might save a multitude of souls, God will
spew it out of his mouth. Weighed and
found wanting!
So we perceive that God estimates na
tions. II >w many times lie lias put the
Spanish monarchy into the scales and
found it insufficient and condemned it!
1 ho I'ranch empire was placed on one side
of the scales, and God weighed the French
empire, and Napoleon said: "Have I not
enlarged the. boulevards? Did I not kin
dle the glories of the Champs Elysees?
Havel not adorned the Tuileries? Have
I not built the gilded opera house?” Then
God Weighed the nation, and he put on
one side the scab s the emperor, and the
boulevards, and the Tuileries, and the
Champ Elysees. and tho gilded opera
house, and on the other side he puts that
man's abominations, that man s libertin
ism. that man's selfishness, that man’s :
godless ambition. This last came down, l
and all the brilliancy of the scene van- ;
ished. What is that voice coming up from
Sedan? Weighed and found wanting!
Personal A pplient ion.
But I must become more individual and
more personal in my address. Some peo
ple say they do not think clergyman ought
to be personal in their religious address,
but ought to deal with subjects in the ab
stract. Ido not think that way. What
would you think of a hunter who should
go to the Adirondaoks to shoot deer in the
abstract? Ah, no! He loads the gun ;he
puts the butt of it against his breast, he
runs his eye along tho barrel, he takes
sure aim, and then, crash go the antlers on
the rocks! And so, if we want to bo
hunters for the Lord, we must take sure
aim and fire. Not in the abstract are we
to treat things in religious discussions. If
a physician comes into a sickroom, does
he treat disease in the abstract? No; he
feels tho pulse, makes the diagnosis, then
he writes the prescription. And, if we
want to heal souls for this life and the life
to come, we do not want to treat them in
the abstract. The fact is. you and I have
a malady which, if uncured by grace, will
kill us forever. Now, I want no abstrac
tion. Where is tho balm? Where is the
physician?
People say there is a day of judgment
coming. My friends, every day is a day
of judgment, and you and I today are be
ing canvassed, inspected, weighed. Here
are the balances of the sanctuary. They
are lifted, and we must all be weighed.
Who will come and be weighed first? Here
is a moralist who volunteers. Ho is one
of the most upright men in the country.
He comes, "Well, my brother, get in—get
into the balances now, and bo weighed.’’
But as he gets into tho balances I say,
"What is that bundle you have along with
you?” “Oh,” ho says, “that is my repu
tation for goodness and kindness and I
charity and generosity and kindliness
generally.” "Oh, my brother, wo cannot :
weigh that ; wo are going to weigh you—|
I you. Now stand in the scales- —you, the i
moralist. Paid your debts?" "Yes,” you;
say, "paid all my debts.” “Have you]
acted in an upright way in tho communi- i
ty?” " Yes, yes. ” " Have you keen kind
to the p r? Are you faithful in a thou
sand re*.. ions in life?” "Yes.” "So far, !
so good. Hut now, before you get out of I
tills scale, I want to ask you two or three
questions. Have your thoughts always
been right?” “No,” you say; “no.” Put
down one mark. "Have you loved the
Lord with all your heart and soul and
mind and strength?” "No,"you say. Make
another mark. "Gome, now, be frank,
and confes.s’that in ton thousand things
you have come short—have you not?”
"Yes.” Make ten thousand marks. Come,
now, get me a book large enough to make
the record of the moralist's deficits. My
brother, stand in the scales; do not fly
away from them. 1 put on your side tho
scales all tho good deeds you ever did, all
the kind words you ever uttered, but on
the other side the scales I put this weight
which God says I must put there —on the
other side the scales and opposite to yours
I )>ut this weight, "By the deeds of the
law shall no flesh living bo justified
Weighed and found wanting.
Balances of the Sune(unr).
Still tho balances of tho sanctuary arc
suspended, and we are ready to weigh any
who come. Who shall be the next ? Well,
here is a formalist. He comes, and he gets
into the balances, and as ho gets in I see
that all his religion is in genuflections and
in outward observances. As he gets into
tile scales I say. "What is that you have
in tills pocket?” “Oh," he says, "that is
Westminster Assembly Catechism.” I say:
"Very good. What have you in tho other
pocket?” "Oh,” he says, “that is the
Heidelberg Catechism.” "Very good.
What is that you have under your arm
standing in tills balance of the sanctu
ary?” “Oh,” he says, "that is a church
record.” "Very good. What are these
books on your side the balances?” “Oh,”
bo says, "those are 'Calvin’s Institutes.
“My brother, we are not weighing books;
wo are weighing you, It cannot bo that
you are depending for your salvation
upon your orthodoxy. Do you not know
that the creeds and the forms of religion
are merely the scaffolding for the building 5
You certainly are not going to mistukt
the scaffolding for tho temple. Do you

says tho man, “I cross myself often.'
“Ah, that will not save you.” “Bat,’
says the man, "I am sympathetic for th<
poor. "That will not save you.” Say
the man, "I sat at the communion table.’
“That will not save you.” "But,” say:
the man, “I have bad my name on th<
church record.” “That will not save you. ’
“But I have been a professor of reiigioi
40 years.” “That will not save you

Still the balances are suspended. Are
there any others who would like to be

Tile First Scrutiny.
But I must go faster and speak of the
! final scrutiny. The fact is, my friends, we
are moving on amid astounding realities.
These pulses which now are drumming
the march of life may after awhile call a
i halt. We walk on a hair hung bridge
I over chasms. All around us are dangers
! lurking, ready to spring on us from am
bush. We lie down at night, not knowing
whether we shall arise in the morning.
We start out for our occupation, not know
ing whether we shall come back —crowns
being burnished for thy brow or bolts
forged for thy prison; angels of light
ready to shout at thy deliverance or fiends
of darkness stretching out skeleton hands
to pull thee down into ruin consummate!
Suddenly the judgment will bo here
The angel, with one foot on the sea and
tho other foot on the land, will swear by
him that liveth forever and ever that time
shall be no longer: “Behold, he cometh
with clouds, and every eye shall see him.”
Hark to the jarring of tho mountains
Why, that is the setting down of the scales,
the balances. And then there is a flash as
if from a cloud, but it is the glitter of the
shining balances, and they are hoisted,
aud all nations are to be weighed. Tho
unforgiven get in on this side the balances.
They may’ have weighed themselves and
pronounced a flattering decision. The
world may have weighed them and pro
nounced them moral. Now they are being
weighed in God's balances—the balances
that can make no mistake. All the prop
erty gone, all the titles of distinction gone,
all th.- worldly successes gone, there is a
soul, absolutely nothing but a soul, an im
mortal soul, a never dying soul, a soul
stripped of all worldly advantages—a soul
on one side the scales. On the other side
tho balances are wasted Sabbaths, disre
garded sermons, 10,000 opportunities of
mercy and pardon that were cast aside
They an? on the other side the scales, and
there God stands, and, in the presence of
men and devils, cherubim and archangel,
he announces, while groaning earthquake
and crackling conflagration and judgment
trumpet and everlasting storm repeat it,
“Weighed and found wanting.”
ill Him Be Weighed.
But say some who are Christians:

;is secure. Certainly’ you are not going to
| put us in the balances?” “ Yes, my broth
! er, we must all appear before the judg-
I ment seat of Christ, and on that day you
I are going to be weighed. Oh, follower of
Christ, you get into the balances! The
: bell of the judgment is ringing. You
must get into the balances. You get in
on this side. On the other side the bal
ances we will place all the opportunities
of good which you did not improve, all
the attainments in piety which you might
have had. but which you refused to take.
' We place them all on the other side. They
I go down, ami your soul rises in the scale.
You cannot weigh against all those im

we will place all the good deeds you have
ever done and all the kind words you have
ever uttered. Too light yet! Well, we
must put on your side all the consecration
of your life, all tho holiness of your life,
all the prayers of your life, all the faith of
your Christian life. Too light yet ! Come,

HER FIRST RIDE IN A LIFT.
Nearly Paralyzed With Fear and
Celled to Be Rescued.
One of the most absurdly comical scenes
that ever took place outside of the stage
of a farce comedy was enacted down at. tho
Mose* building recently. It happened In
the elevator—that elevator that is so fa
miliar to the business people having occa
sion to use it. Pretty safe it is to say
that not very many records would be
smashed by it on a race track. It. seems
to be afflicted with a chronic case of spring
fever, making its movements neee--nri!y
slow and painful—painful for the passen
-1 gers at least.
The other afternoon an old negro wom
an, with all the trademarks of the coun
’ try, stepped gingerly into the cage from
1 the fifth story. How she ever got up there
heaven only knows. Johnny Hanson, who
guides the destinies of tho lift, sized up
’ tlie “old sister” and determined to see if
the ups and downs of his life could not
have a little variety. When tho old worn
’ an had got. till of her anatomy in the cage
’ and the door was clicked to, johnny gave
’ the rope a quick jerk, sending the ma
’ chine shooting down into space faster than
’ it had ever done before.
The startling results were even more
than he had bargained for. With a yell
of horror the old woman threw her arms
about his neck with, “Save me, honey,
’ for do Igmib's sake, ” and it would have
1 been an easier task to comfort Rachel
mourning for her children. Every floor
that was reaclied on the downward jour
ney seemed a haven of refuge to the old
1 soul, who begged piteously to “le’ me git
1 out.” Finally tho ground floor was
reached, and when the door was slid back
and she was told to “light” the deep
breath of thankfulness was something too
eloquent for words. —Montgomery Adver-
