DEMANDS OF THEA JE
DR. TALMAGE PLEADB FOR HE tOtO
MEN AND WOMEN.
Advice to Chrlrtlaa* to Broaden Out and
Not Remain In 014 Rdte—A Sermon at
' Eaoouracement to All Christian Work
er*—Strong Character* Needed.
fCopyrfrht. 1898, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Washington, Jan. 30.—Dr. Talmage
here shows the style of Christian character
required for the times In which we live
and pleads for more heroics. The tert is
Esther lv, 14, “Who knoweth whether
thou art come to the kingdom for such a
time as this?”
Esther the beautiful was the wife of
Ahasuerus the abominable. The time had
come for her to present a petition to her
Infamous husband in behalf of the Jewish
nation, to which she had once belonged.
She was afraid to undertake the work lest
she should lose her own life, but her cous
in, Mordecai, who bad brought her up,
encouraged her with the suggestion that
probably she had been raised up of God for
that peculiar mission. “Who knoweth
whether then art come to the kingdom for
such a time aS this?”
Esther had her God appointed work.
You and I have ours. It Is my business
to tell you what style of men and women
you ought to be in order that you meet
the demand Os the age in which God has
cart your lot. So this discourse will not
deal with the technicalities, but only with
the practicabilities. When two armies
have rushed into battle, the officers of ei
ther army do not want a philosophical dis
cussion about the chemical properties of
human blood or the nature of gunpowder.
They want some one to man the batteries
and take out the guns. And now, when
all the forces of light and darkness of
heaven and hell have plunged Into the
fight, it is no time to give ourselves to the
definitions and formulas and technicality
and conventionalities of religion. What
we want is practical, earnest, concentrat
ed, enthusiastloand trinmphhnt help.
, Aggressive Christians.
In the first place, in order to meet the
special demand of this age, you need to be
an unmistakable, aggressive Christian.
Os half and half Christians we do not
want any more. The church of Jesus
Christ will be better without them. They
are the chief obstacle to tho church’s ad
vancement. I am speaking of another
kind of Christian. All the appliances for
your becoming an earnest Christian are at
your hand, and there is a straight path
for you into the broad daylight of God’s
forgiveness. You may this moment be
the bondmen of the world, and the next
moment you may be princes of the Lord
God Almighty. You remember what ex
citement there was in this country, years
ago, when the Prince of Wales came hero
—how tho people rushed out by hundreds
of thousands to see him? . Why? Because
they expected that some day ho would sit
upon the throne of England. But what
was all that honor compared with the
honor to which God calls you—to be sons
and daughters of the Lord Almighty—yea,
to be queens and kings unto God. “They
shall reign with him forever and forevor.”
But you need to be aggressive Chris
tians, and not like those persons who spend
their lives in hugging their Christian
graces and wondering why they do not
make progress. How much robustness of
health would a man have if he hid him
self in a dark closet? A great deal of the
piety of today is too exclusive. It hides
itself. It needs more fresh air, more out
door exercise. Timers Christians
who aro giving their entire life to self ex
amination. They are feeling their pulses
to see what is the condition of their spirit
ual health. How long would a man have
robust physical'health if he kept all the
day feeling his pulse instead of going out
into active, earnest everyday work?
Strong Character* Needed.
I was once amid the wonderful, bewitch
ing cactus growths of North Carolina. I
never was more bewildered with the beau
ty of flowers, and yet when I would take
up one of these cactuses and pull the leaves
apart the beauty was all gone. You could
hardly tell that it had ever been a flower.
And there are a great many Christian peo
ple in this day just pulling apart their
Christian experiences to see what there is I
in them, ana there is nothing left in them.
This style of self examination is a dam
age instead of an advantage to their Chris
tian character. I remember when I was a
boy I used to have a small piece in the
garden that I called my own, and I plant
ed corn there, a®i every few days I would
pull it up to see how fast it was growing.
Now, there are a great many Christian
people in this day whose self examination
merely amounts to the pulling up of that
which they only yesterday or the day be
fore planted. Oh, my friends, if you want
to have a stalwart Christian character,
plant it right out of doors in the great field
of Christian usefulness, and though storms
may come upon it, and though the hot sun
of trial may try to consume it, it will
thrive until it becomes a great tree, in
which the fowls of heaven may have their
habitation. I have no patience with these
flowerpot Christians. They keep them
selves under shelter, and all their Chris
tian experience in a small, exclusive circle,
when they ought to plant it in the great
garden of the Lord, so that the whole at
mosphere could be aromatic with their
Christian usefulness. What we want in
the church of God is more strength of
piety. The oentury plant is wonderfully
suggestive and wonderfully beautiful, but
I never look at it without thinking of its
parsimony. It lets whole generations go
by before it puts forth one blossom. So I
have really more admiration when I see
the dewy tears in the blue eyes of the vio
lets, for they come every spring. My
Christian friends, 'time is going by so
rapidly that we cannot afford to be idle.
No Time For Inertia.
A recent statistician says that human
life now has an average of only 32 yearn.
From these 32 years you must subtract all
the time you take for sleep and the taking
of food and recreation; that will leave you
about 16 years. From these 16 you must
subtract all tho time that you are neces
sarily engaged in the earning of a liveli
hood. That will leave you about eight
years. From these eight years you must
take all the days and weeks and months—
all the length of time that is passed in
sickness—leaving you about one year in
which to work for God. Omy soul, wake
npl How darest thou sleep in harvest
time and with so few hours in which to
reap? So that I state it as a simple fact
that all the time that the vast majority of
you will have for the exclusive service of
God will be less than one year.
“But," says some man, “I liberally
support the gospel, and the church is open,
and the gospel is preached; all the spirit
ual advantages are spread before men, and
if they want to be saved let them come
•nd be saved—l have discharged all my
responsibility.” Ah, is that my Harter's
spirit? Is there not an old book somewhere
that oommands us to go out into the high
ways and the hedges and compel the peo
ple to come Ju? What would become of
you and me If Christ had not come down
off the hills of heaven, and if he had not
come through the door of the Bethlehem
caravansary, and if he had not with the
crushed hand of the crucifixion knocked
at the iron gate of the sepulcher of our
spiritual death, crying, “Lazarus, come
forth?” Oh, my Christian friend, this is
no time for inertia when all the forces of
darkness 'seem to be in full blast—when
steam printing presses are publishing in
fidel tracts, when express trains are car
rying messengers of sin, when fast clip
pers are laden with opium and strong
drink, when the night air of our cities is
polluted with the laughter that breaks up
from the 10,060 saloons of dissipation and
abandonment, when the fires of the second
death already are kindled in the cheeks of
some who, only a little while ago, were
incorrupt I Oh, never since the curse fell
upon the earth has there been a time when
it Was such an nnwise. such a cruel, such
an awful thjng for the church to sleep!
The great audiences are not gathered in
Christian churches. The groat audiences
are gathered in temples of sin—tears of
unutterable woe their baptism, the blood
of crushed hearts the awful wide of their
sacrament, blasphemies their litany, and
the groans of the lost world the organ
dirge of their worship.
Get Out of Old Ruts.
Again, if you want to be qualified to
meet the duties which this age demands
of you, you must on the one hand avoid
reckless iconoclasm and on the other hand
not stick too much to things because they
are old. The air is full of new plans, new
projects, new theories of government, new
theologies, and I am amazed to see how so
many Christians want only novelty in or
der to recommend a thing to their confi
dence, and So they vacillate and swing to
and fro, tfnd they are useless and they are
unhappy. New plans—secular, ethical,
philosophical, religious, cisatlantic, trans
atlantic—-long enough to make a line reach
ing from the German universities to Great
Salt Lake .city— -Ah, my brother, do not
take hold of a thing merely because it is
new! Try it by the realities of the judg
ment day. But, on the other hand, do not
adhere to anything merely because it is
old.
There is not a single enterprise of the
church or the world but has some time been
scoffed at. There was a time when men
derided oven Bible societies, and when a
few young men met in Massachusetts and
organized the first missionary society ever
organized in this country there went
laughter and ridicule all around the Chris
tian church. They said the undertaking
was preposterous. And so also the work
of Jesus Christ was assailed. People cried
out: “Who over heard of such theories of
ethics and government! Who ever noticed
such a style of preaching as Jesus has?”
Ezekiel had talked of mysterious wings
and wheels. Here came a man from Caper
naum and Genneaaret, and he drew his
illustrations from the lakes, from the
sand, from the mountain, from the lilies,
from the cornstalks. How the Pharisees
scoffed! How Herod derided I And this
Jesus they plucked by the beard, and they
spat in his face, and they called him “this
fellow.” All the great enterprises in and
out of the church have at times been
scoffed at, and there have been a great
multitude who have thought that the
chariot of God’s truth would fall to pieces
If it once got out of the old rut. And so
there are those who have no patience with
anything like ImnroVement in church
architecture, or wiffi anything like good,
hearty, earnest church singing, and they
deride any form of religious discussion
which goes down walking among everyday
men rather than that which makes ah ex
cursion on rhetorical stilts. Oh, that the
church of God would wake up to an adap
tability of work! We must admit the sim
ple fact that the churches of Jesus Christ
in this day do not reach the great masses.
There are 50,000 people in Edinburgh who
never hear the gospel. There are 1,000,000
people in London who never hear the gos
pel. The great majority of the Inhabitants
of this capital come not under the imme
diate ministrations of Christ’s troth, and
the church of God in this day, instead of
being a place full of living epistles, known
and read of all men, is more like a dead
letter j os toffice.
Work to Be Done.
“But,” say the people, “the world is go
ing to bo converted; you must be patient;
the kingdoms of this world are to become
the kindomsof Christ.” Never, unless the
church of Jesus Christ puts on more speed
and energy. Instead of the church con
verting the world, tho world is converting
the church. Here is a great fortress. How
shall it be taken? An army comes and sits
around about it, cuts off the supplies And
says, “Now we will just wait until from
exhaustion and starvation they will have
to give up. ” Weeks and months and per
haps a year pass along and finally the for
tress surrenders through that starvation
and exhaustion. But, my friends, the for
tresses of sin are never to be taken in that
way. If they are taken for God, it will be
by storm; you will have to bring up the
great siege guns of the gospel to the very
wall and wheel the flying artillery intp
line, and when the armed infantry of heav
en shall confront the battlements you will
have to give the quick command, “For
ward! Charge!”
Ab, my friends, there is work for you to
do and for me to do in order to this grand
accomplishment. I have a pulpit. I preach
in it. Your pupit is the bank. Your pul
pit is the store. Your pulpit is the edito
rial chair. Your pulpit is the anvil. Your
pulpit is the house scaffolding. Your pul
pit is the mechanics’ shop. I may stand in
my place and, through cowajjdice or
through self seeking, may keep back the
word I ought to utter, while you, with
sleeve rolled up and brow besweated with
toil, may utter tho word that will jar the
foundations of heaven with the shouLof a
great victory. Oh, that we might all feel
that the Lord Almighty is putting upon us
the hands of ordination! I tell you, every
one, go forth and preach this gospel. You
have as much right to preacii as I have or
any man living.
Examples of Courage.
Hedley Vicars was a wicked man in the
English army. The grace of God came to
him. He became an earnest and eminent
Christian. They scoffed at him and said:
“You are a hypocrite. You are as bad as
ever you were.” Still he kept his faith in
Christ, and after awhile, finding that they
could not turn him aside by calling him
• hypocrite, they said io him, “Oh, you
are nothing but a Methodist!” This did
not disturb him. He went on performing
his Christian duty until he had formed
’ all' his troops Into a Bible class, and the
whole encampment was shaken with the
presence of God. So Havelock went into
the heathen temple in India while the
English army war there and put a candie
into the hand of each of the heathen gods
that stood around in the heathen -temple,
■nd by the light of those candles held up
I by the idol* General Have ock preached
rightoousnoss, temperance tod judgment
to come. And who will say >n earth or in
heaven that Havelock had n A the right to
preach? In the minister’s louse where I
prepared for college there v orked a wan
by the name ot Peter Cr> r. He could
neither read nor write, but ne was a man
of God. Often theologians would stop in
the house—grave theologians—and at fam
ily prayer Peter Croy would be called upon
to load, and all those wise men sat around,
wonder struck at bls religious efficiency.
When he prayed, he reached up and seemed
to take hold of the very throne of the Al
mighty, and he talked with God until the
very heavens were bowed down into the
sitting room. Oh, if I were dying I would
rather have plain Peter Croy kneel by my
bedside and commend my immortal spirit
to God than the greatest archbishop ar
rayed in costly canonicals. Ge preach this
gospel. You say you are not licensed. In
the name of the Lard Almighty, I license
you. Go preach this gospel, preach it in
the Sabbath schools, in the prayer meet
ings, in the highways, in the hedges. Woe
be unto you if you preach it not I
Triumph of Truth.
I remark again, that in order to be quali
fied to meet your duty in this particular
ago you want unbounded faith in the tri
umph of the truth and tho overthrow of
wickedness. How dare the Christian
church ever get discouraged? Have we
not the Lord Almighty on onr side? How
long did it take God to slay the hosts of
Sennacherib orburn Sodom or shakedown
Jericho? How long will it take God, when
he once arises in his strength, to overthrow
all the forces of iniquity? Between this
time and that there may be long seasons of
darkness, and the chariot wheels of God’s
gospel may seem to drag heavily, but here
is the pronjise and yonder is the throne,
and when omniscience has lost its eyesight
and omnipotence falls back impotent and
Jehovah is dfiven from his throne, then
the church of Jesus Christ can afford to be
despondent, bqt never until then.
Despots may plan and armies may march
and the congresses of the nations may
seem to think they are adjusting all the
affairs of the world, but the mighty mon
of the earth are only the dust of the chariot
wheels of God’s providence. And I think
before the sun of the next century shall set
tho last tyranny will fall, and with a
splendor of demonstration that shall be the
astonishment of the universe God will set
forth the brightness and pomp and glory
and perpetuity of his eternal government.
Out of the starry flags and the emblazoned
Insignia of this world God will make a
path for his own triumph and returning
from universal conquest he will sit down,
the grandest, the strongest, highest throne
of earth his footstool.
I prepare this sermon because I want
to encourage all Christian workers in ev
ery possible department. Hosts of the liv
ing God, march on, march on! His spirit
will bless you. His shield will defend you.
His sword will strike for you. March on,
march on! The despotisms will fail and pa
ganism will burn its idols and Mohamme
danism will give up its false prophet and
the great walls of superstition will come
down in thunder and wreck at the long,
loud blast of the gospel trumpet. March
on, march on! The besiegemedt will soon
bo ended. Only a few more steps pn tho
long way; only a few more sturdy blows;
only a few more battlecries; then God
will put the laurels upon your brow, and
from the living. fountains of heaven will
bathe oft the sweat and the heat and tho
dust of the conflict. March on, march on!
For you the time for work will soon bo
passed, and amid the outflashings of the
judgment throne and the trumpeting of
resurrection angels and the upheaving of a
world of graves and tho hosanna and the
groaning of the saved and the lost we
shall be rewarded for our faithfulness or
punished for our stupidity. Blessed be tho
Lord God of Israel from everlasting to
everlasting and let the whole earth be fill
ed with his glory. Amon and amen.
A Banquet at Siwa.
There were several round tables placed
down the middle of the room. Candles
burned in candlesticks, all of which had
been imported from Cairo at a fabulous
cost. Lamps of olive oil were also about
the room. The food was more than abun
dant. A whole sheep stuffed with rice,
raisins and pistachio nuts, soup, chicken,
Vegetables, succeeded each other. Then
came trays of delicious fruit—tho trays
made of woven date fiber, the fruit, deli
cious black grapes, figs, a small variety of
watermelon, sweet lemons, pomegranates
and mandarins. Our host did not sitdown,
but directed tho servants, who were most
likely slaves. There is still some traffic in
slaves from Kura, tho price of one of these
being a small roll of blue and black cloth,
such as tho natives wear. I fancy most of
tho Siwans’ dislike of admitting Chris
tians to their town is the dread that their
slave trade will be interfered with. There
was no conversation during the meal; for
any one to talk would have meant a disre
gard for tho other more important func
tion erf eating.
After a long dinner we rose and washed
our hands in brass basins, with water
poured'out of ewers. Then all sat on the
divans round the room. A servant then
walked round, showering rosewater over
us so liberally that another had to follow
with a towel and wipe us dry, and while
he did this a third stifled us with incense.
This unpleasant ceremony cost our host a
large sum, for rosewater imported from
Egypt becomes of fabulous value and the
servants were unpleasantly liberal in dis
pensing it.—Geographical Journal.
English Soldiers.
Protestant clergymen, are popularly sup
posed to be the best male “lives” going.
But they die at a rate of nearly 11 per
thousand each year, while the British
army shuffles off this mortal coil at a rate
of less than 5 per thousand. Even la
dies’ maids, who have isualiy a life of
great comfort and little work,' die faster
than this, departing this life at the rate of
8 per thousand.
It might well be supposed that the troops
who do as much fighting as the British
soldiers abroad would be carried off in
large numbers. This was true in the past,
when the conditions favored disease, but
in these days war is by no means as dan
gerous. For Instance, in all our wars of
the past 20 years the death rate on tho
battlefield has been only 15 per thousand
per annum.
Now solicitors cannot be said to be en
gaged in very risky work, yet they depart
hence at the rate of 16 per thousand per
annum. Roman Catholic priests die at
the rate of 18 per thousand and cabmen
at the rate of 26 per thousand. Your
chances of death, then, if you become a
cabman are five times as great as if you
join the army at home and nearly twice
as great as if you form part of the fighting
forces in India or Africa. And there are
scores of trades—such as lead working,
glass blowing, match making, public
house keeping, etc.—ever so much more
dangerous to life than cab driving.—Lon
don Mail.

A GOOD STORY. x
Bat the Author Would Be • Poor Maa
to Write History.
“The moat deepbrate personal act I
witnessed during the war was perform
ed by a Wisconsin cavalryman,” eaid
O. J. Hilton of Madison. "It was at
Fleetwood Hill, and the man discounted
the capture made at Ciudad Rodrigo by
Charles O'Malley's man, Mickey Free.
The Wisconsin man rode out between
two great cavalry forces—Union and
Confederate—and attacked a lieutenant
and two men belonging to Jeb Stuart’s
farce, and after a hand to hand saber
fight, lasting fully ten minutes, cap
tured the three and brought them in. It
was the prettiest fight of the kind I ever
saw, and the Wisconsin trooper was
cheered by every man on our side who
witnessed his act and by some of Stu
art’s riders. I don’t know who the man
was, but my recollection is that he be
. longed to the Second Wisconsin. ”
A man who wore the Loyal Legion
button said he did not think the Second
Wisconsin was in the fight with Stuart
at Brandy Station and Fleetwood Hill.
He asked for tho story,
“I was a member of the Eighth New
York,” said Mr. Hilton, “and our regi
ment was part of the cavalry command
sent under Pleasonton to look up Jeb
Stuart just before Gettysburg. We
found Stuart—yellow sash, black hat
plumes, gold spurs and all that—at
Brandy Station, and with him were all
his riders. The fight was a hot one, and
we came very near being beautifully
whipped, although we claimed the vic
tory on tho ground that we learned
what we wanted to know—where Stu
art was and what Lee was about. Some
of tho heaviest fighting of the day wad
at a spot called Fleetwood Hill, and it
was there that the Wisconsin trooper
captured his three meg, .
“We had been at it hammer and
tongs for two or three hours, when
there came one of .those let ups you all
have seen—for all the world like two
bulldogs looking for a fresh held. While
both sides were waiting for the order to
advance a Confederate lieutenant and
two men rode out from their tents,
moving toward us as if searching for
something on the field. Everybody on
our side watched them and wondered
what they were looking for. The two
lines were fully two-thirds of a mile
apart, and the three had got about a
third of the way across toward us.
Then over on the right of our line was
a stir and commotion, and the excite
ment spread along until it reached us.
“The right of our line was concealed
from us by a little grove of oak trees.
A trooper in blue, mounted on a big bay
that looked and carried himself like a
thoroughbred, was riding out to meet
those three men in gray. He sat on his
horse like a riding school nutter. When
within 100 yards of Stuart’s three men
he halted, saluted with his saber and
dropped his carbine and revolver. The
three men from the other side had been
watching hinq, and, understanding the
challenge, dropped their arms.
“Then came the fight. It was a saber
contest, with three against one. That
Wisconsin man disarmed that lieuten
ant in two passes, hamstrung the horse
6f another and put his blade through
the shoulder of the third. He brought
the three into our lines.
‘ ‘ What do you think of that?’ ’ he con
cluded.
“The story is all right,” said one of
the listeners, “but I don’t think you
would do to write history. ”—Milwau
kee Sentinel.
The Profits of Monte Carlo.
The merchant whose losses are the re
sult of untoward and unforeseen changes
in the market receives sympathy and
help, but what bank or private friend
will advance money to a gambler? The
betting man who has staked his last
shilling and lost it is pronounced a fool
and has put himself beyond the reach
of practical compassion. The sharper
who has fleeced him has neither grati
tude nor pity. He uses his victim as the
butt of his ridicule. And the victim
himself, who has risked his money on
mere chance, or on baseless information,
or on fraudulent representations, freely
pronounces himself a fool, judging him
self in the light of the issue. To fancy
that we shall be exceptions and win
where others have lost, that we shall be
the solitary lucky ones among the thou
sands unlucky, is a folly to which we
are all liable, but it is none the less a
folly.
It is stated that the winnings of the
table or bank at Monte Carlo last year
amounted to £Boo,ooo—that is to say,
this was the net sum lost by those who
played. Yet each gambler who stakes
his little pile fancies he will be the one
to win. There are some thousands of
bookmakers in our own country. Out of
whose pockets do they pick so comfort
able a living? Ont of the pockets of
their dupes, who so bountifully contrib
ute to the maintenance of their worst
enemies.—Good Words.
The Word "To**t.”
The word “toast,” used fordescrib
ing the proposal of a health in an after
dinner speech, dates back to mediaeval
times, when the loving cuptvas still re
garded as an indispensable feature of
every banquet. The cup would be filled
to the brim with wine or mead, in the
center of which would be floating a
piece of toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto the host would pass the cup
to the guest of honor seated on his right
hand, and tho latter would in turn pass
it to his right hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table,-each one present taking a
sip, until finally the cup would come
back to the host, who would drain what
remained and swallow the piece of toast
in honor of all the friends assembled at
his table.
