(Copyright, Louis Klop-h, KO.] 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. WdKhinK Principle*. 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 not know that men have gone to perditior with a catechism in their pocket?’ ’ * ’ But,' 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 Stand there <,n your side the balances, am I will give you the advantage—l will h !

Yes; here come- a worldling He gets into the scales. 1 can Very easily see what his whole life Is made up of Stocks, divi dends. per< i lltagi s buyer ten day- " "buyer 30 days. “Get in, my friend; get into these balani'i s and Le weighed weighed for this life and weighed for the life to •mm ' He gets in. 1 find that the two great questions in his life uro •lb v. cheaply can 1 buy these goods?” and “How dearly can 1 sell them?" 1 find he admires heaven because it Is a land of gold, amt money must Le "easy ” 1 find, from talking with him, that religion and the Sabbath are an interruption, :» vulgar interruption, anil he hoj.es on the way to church to drum up a new customer' All the week ho has been weighing fruits, weighing meat-, weighing lee, weighing coals, weighing confections, weighing worldly and perishable commodities, not realizing the fact that he himself lias been weighed.

I put on your side all the banking houses, all the storehouses, all the cargoes, all the insurance companies, all the fae tories, all the silver, all the gold, all the money vaults, all the safe deposits—all on i your side. But it does not add one oui.ee, j for at the very moment we are. congratu lating you on your fine, h- use and upon i your princely income God mid the angels are writing in regard to j .ur soul, 'Weighed ami found wanting!’ ” 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: I “Certainly you don’t mean to say that wo ■ will have to get into the balances? Our ! sins are all pardoned ; our title to heaven ;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 perfections. Well, then, we must give you the advantage, and on your side the scale 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, mighty men of tho past, and get in on that side the scales. Come. Payson and Doddridge and Baxter, get in on that side the scales and make them comedown that this righteous one may bo saved They come and they get In tho scales. Too light yet! Come, tho martyrs, tho Latimers, the Wyclifs, the men who suffered at tho stake for Christ. Get in on this side tho Christian's balances and see if you cannot ; help him weight it aright. They come i and get in. Too light ! Come, angel-of God on high. Let not the righteous perish with tho wicked Tie y get in on tills -ide the balances. Too light yet! I put on this side the balances all the scepters of light, all the throne- of power, all tho crowns of glory. Too light yet! But just 1 at that point .Jesus, the bon of God, comes up to the balances, and he puts one of his ’ scarred f< •t- on your side, and the balances ' begin tn tremble from t< ;> to ttoni Then he puts both of his scarred feet on tho balances, and the Christian’s side • comes down with a stroke that sets all the I bells of heaven ringing That Rock of II Ages heavier than any other weight!

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- 1 User.
