GOD’S JUST MEASURE
IT WILL BE THE MEASURE YOU APPLY
TO OTHERS.
—
Tl*R>t. Dr. Talmage's Sermon on the
Sia of Vnfolrnem— “With What Mem
.re Yoe Mete It Shall Bo Moomrod to
«. xt-y-
Washingtow, March 87.—1 f the spirit of
thia sermon of Dr. Talmage were carried
out, the world would be a better place to
lire in, and the fallen would find It easier
to recover themselves; text, Matthew vli,
2, “With what measure you mete It shall
be measured so you again.**
In the greatest sermon ever preached—
a sermon about 15 minutes long according
to the ordinary rate of speech—a sermon
on the Mount of Olives, the preacher sit
ting while he spoke, according to the an
cient mode of oratory, the people we«B giv
en to understand that the osmo yardstick
that they employed upon others would be
employed upon themselves. Measure oth
ers by a harsh rule, and you will be meas
ured by a harsh rule. Measure others by
a charitable rule, and you will be meaa
ured by a charttable rule. Give no mercy
toothers, and bo mercy will be given to
you. “With what measure ye mete it shall
bo measured to you again. ”
There is a great deal of unfairness in
criticism in human conduct. It was to
smite that unfairness that Christ uttered
the words of the text, and my sermon will
be a re-dcho of the divine sentiment. In
estimating the misbehavior of others we
miM take Into consideration the pressure
4f* diftniaMafteeir' It is hover right to do
Wrong, but there are degrees of culpability,
When men misbehave or commit some
atrocious wickedness, wo are disposed in
discriminately to tumble them all over
the bank of condemnation. Buffer they
ought, and suffer they must, but in a dif
ference of degree.
• Whs Hereditary Tendency.
In the first place, in estimatffih the mis
doing of others wb must take latb calcula
tion the hereditary tendency. There is
such a thing as good blood, and there la
such a thing as bad blood. There are fam
iliesthal havo Bad a moral twist in them
fol- a hundred years back. They have not
been careful to keep the family record in
that regard. There have been escapades
and maraudings and scoundrelisins and
moral deficits all tbo way back, whether
you call it kleptomania or pyromania or
dipsomania or whether it be in a milder
form and amount to no mania at aIL The
strong probability is that the present crim
inal started life with nerve; muscle and
bone contaminated. As some start lite
with a natural tendency to nobility and
generosity and kindness and truthfulness,
there are others who start life with just
the opposite tendency, and they are born
liars or born malcontents or born outlaws
or born swindlers.
* There is in England a school that is
called the Princess Mary sehocA All the
children in that school are the children of
convicts. The school is under high patron
age. I had the pleasure of being present
at one of their anniversaries, presided over
by the Earl of Kintore. By a wise law in
England after parents have committed a
certain number of crimes and thereby
shown themselves incompetent rightly to
bring up their children the little ones are
taken from under pernicious influences
and put in reformatory schools, -where all
gracious and kindly influences shall be
brought upon them. Os course the experi
ment is young, and it has got to be dem
onstrated how large a percentage of the
children of convicts may be brought up to
respectability and usefulness. But we all
know that it la more difficult for children
Os bad parentage to do rjght than for chil
dren of good parentage.
All Born E<A>aL
In this country we are taught by the
Declaration of American Independence
that all people are born equal. There never
was a greater misrepresentation put in
one sentence than in that sentence which
implies that we are all born equal. You
as may as well say that flowers are born
equal or trees are born equal or animals
arc born equal. Why does one horse oost
1100 and another horse oost >5,000? Why
does one sheep cost |lO and another sheep
■cost |500? Difference in blood. We are
wise enough to recognize it in horses, In
cattle, in sheep, but we are not wise enough
to make allowance for the difference in
the human blood. Now, I demand by the
law of eternal fairness that you be more
lenient in your criticism of those who
were born wrong, in whose ancestral line
there was a hangman’s knot, or who came
from a tree the fruit of which for centuries
has been gnarled and worm eaten.
Dr. Harris, a reformer, gave some mar
velous statistics in his story of a woman
he called “ Margaret, the mother of Crim
inals. ” Ninety years ago she lived in a
village in upper NeW York state. She was
not only poor, but she was vicious. She
was not well provided for. There were no
almshouses there. The public, however,
somewhat looked after her, but chiefly
scoffed at her and derided her and pushed
her further down in her crime. That was
90 years ago. There have been 628 persons
in that ancestral line, 200 of them crim
inals. Tn one branch of that family there
were 20, and nine of them have been in
state prison, and nearly all of the others
have turned out badly. It is estimated
that that family cost the county and state
1100,000, to say nothing of the property
they destroyed. Are you not willing, as
sensible, fair people, to acknowledge that
it is a fearful disaster to be born in such
an Ancestral line? Does it not makeagreat
difference whether one descends from Mar
garet, the mother of criminals, or from
some mother in Israel; whether you are
the son of Ahab or the son of Joshua?
AgaiasS the Currant.
It is a very different thing to swim with
the current from what it is to swim
against the current, as some of you have
no doubt found iu your summer recrea
tion. If a man find himself in an ancestral
current where there la gord blood flowing
smoothly from generation to generation,
it *is not a very great credit to him If he
turn out good and honest and pure and
noble. He could hardly help it But sup
pose he is born in an ancestral line, in a
hereditary line, where the Influences have
been bad and there has been a coming
down over a moral declivity, if the man
surrender to the influences he will go
down under the overmastering gravitation
unless eoxue supernatural aid be afforded
him. Now, such a person deserves not
your excoriation, but your pity. Do not
sit with the lip curled in scorn and with
an assumed air of angelio innocence look
ing down upon such moral precipitation.
You had better get down on your knees
and first pray Almighty God for their res
cue, and next thank the Lord that you
have not been thrown under the wheels of
that Juggernaut. '
In Greet Britain and -in the United
• States in every generation there are tens
of thousands of persons who are fully de
f veloped criminals and Incarcerated. Isay
in every generation. Then I suppose then
are tens of thousands of persons not found
out in their criminality. In addition to
, those there are tens of thousands of persons
who not positively becoming criminals
nevertheless have a criminal tendency.
» Any on<n of all those thousands, by the
grace of God, may become Christian and
resist the anoeetral influence and open a
new chapter of behavior, But the vast ma
, jority of them will not, and It becomes all
men, professional, unprofessional, mlnte
-1 tore of religion, judges of courts, philan
-1 th replete and Christian workers, to recog
nize the fact that there are these Atlantic
and Pacific surges of hereditary evil roll
ing on through the centuries, I say, of
course, a man can resist this tendency,
lust as in the anoeetral line mentioned tn
the first chapter of Matthew. Yon see in
the same line in which there was a wicked
Behoboam and a desperate Manassee there
. afterward came a pious Josiah and a glo
rious Christ. But, my friends, you must
recognize tho fact that these influences go
an from generation to generation. lam
glad to know, however, that a river which
has produced nothing but miasma for a;
hundred miles may after awhile turn the
wheels of factories and help support in-i
dustrious ana virtuous populations, and
, there are family lines which were poisoned
that are a benediction now. At the last
day it will be found out that there are men
who have gone clear over into all forms of
iniquity and plunged into utter abandon
ment who bofoso they yielded to the first
temptation resisted more evil than many
a man who has been moral and upright
all his life.
The Best Maa Before God.
But supposing? now that to this age,
whto there-ate so many good people, that
I come down into this audience and select
the very best man In 1U- I do ndt mean
the man who would style himself the best,
for probably be is a hypocrite, but 1 mean
the man who before God is really the best.
I will take you Out from all your Chris
tian surroundings. I will take you back
to boyhood. I will put you to a depraved
horn* I will pkkyou Ina eradtaef In
iquity. ■ Who is bending over that cradle?
An Intoxicated mother. Who is that swear
ing In the next room? Your father. The
neighbors come in to talk, and their jokes
are unelean. Thera is not In the house a
Bible or a moral treatise, but only a few
scraps of an old pictorial.
After-awhlle you are old enough to get
out of the cradle, and you are struck
across the head for naughtiness, but never
In any "kindly manner reprimanded. Aft
er awhile you are old enough to go abroad,
and you are sent out with a basket to steal.
If you come home without any spoil, you
are whipped until the blood oomes. At 15
years of age you go out to fight your own
battles in this world, which seems to care
no more for you than the dog that has
died of a fit under the fence. You are
kicked and cuffed and buffeted. Some
day, rallying your courage, you resent
some wrong. A man says: “Who are you?
I know who you are. Your father had free
lodgings at Sing Sing. Your mother, she
was up for drunkenness at the criminal
court. Get out of my way, you low lived
wretch!** My brother, suppose that had
been the history of your advent and the
history of your earlier surroundings.
Would you have been the Christian man
you are today, seated in this Christian as
sembly? .1 tell you nay. You would have
been a vagabond, an outlaw, a murderer
on tho scaffold atoning for your crime.
All these considerations ought to make us
merciful in our dealings with the wander
ing and the lost.
Swayed by Circumstance*.
Again, I have to ramark that in our es
timation the misdoing of people who have
fallen from high respectability and useful
ness we must take into consideration the
conjunction of circumstances. In nine
oases out of ton a man who goes astray
does not intend any positive wrong. He
has trust funds. He risks a part of these
funds in Investment. He says: “Now, if
I should lose that investment I have of my
own property five times as much,and if this
investment should go wrong I could easily
make it up. I could five times make it
up.’* With that wrong reasoning be goes
on and makes the investment, and it does
not turn out quite as well as he expected,
and !:e makes another investment, and
strange to say at the same time fill his oth
er affairs get entangled, and all his other
resources fail, and his hands are tied.
Now he wants to extricate himself. He
goes a little further on in the wrong In
vestment. He takes a plunge further ahead,
for he wants to save his wife and children,
he wants to eave his home, he wants to
eave his membership in the church. He
takes one moire plunge, and all is lost.
Some morning at 10 o’clock the bank
door is not opened, and there is a card on
the door signed by an officer of the bank,
indicating there is trouble, find the name
of the defaulter or the defrauder heads the
newspaper column, and hundreds of men
say; “Good for him!** Hundreds of other
men say, “I’m glad he’s found out at
last.*’ Hundreds of other men say, “Just
as I told you.*’ Hundreds of other men
say, “We couldn’t possibly have been
tempted to do that—no conjunction of cir
cumstances could ever have overthrown
me.” .And there Is a superabundance of
indignation, but no pity. The heavens
full of lightning, but not one drop of dew.
If God treated us as society treats that
man, we would all have been in hell long
ago. - ■'
Temper Wrath With Mercy.
Wait for the. alleviating circumstances.
Perhaps he may have been the dupe of
others. Before you let all the hounds out
from their kennel to maul and tear that
man find oflt if be has not been brought
up in a commercial establishment where
there was a wrong system of ethics taught;
find out whether that man has not an ex
travagant wife who is not satisfied with
his honest earnings and to the temptation
to please her he has gone into that ruin
into which enough men have fallen, and
by the same temptation, to make a proces
sion of many mites. Perhaps some sud
den sickness fbay have touched his brain,
and his judgment may be unbalanced. Ho
is wrong, he is awfully wrong, and be
must be condemned, but there m#y be
mitigating circumstances. Perhaps under
the same temptation you might have fall
en. The reason some men do not steal
*200,000 Is because they do not get a
Jhanoe. Have righteous indignation you
must about that man’s conduct, but tem
per it with mercy. , *■
But, you say, “I am sorry that the in
nocent should suffer.” Yes, I -am, too- -
I sorry for the widows and orphans who lost
their all by that defalcation. I am sorry
i also for the business men, the honest busi
■ ness men, who have bad their affairs all
crippled by that defalcation. lam sorry
i for tbo venerable bank president, to whom
- the credit of that bank was a matter of
i pride. Yes, lam sorry also for that man
f who brought all the distress—sorry that
he sacrificed body, mind, soul, reputation,
heaven, and went into iho blackness erf
darkness forever.
You defiantly say, •‘t could not be
tempted in that way." Perhaps you may
be tested after awhile. God has a very
good memory, and sometimes seems to
•ay: “This man feels so strong in his In
nate power and goodness be shall be test
ed. He Is so full of bitter invective against
that unfortunate it shall be shown now
whether ho has the power to stand.” Fif
teen years go by. The wheel of fortune
turns several times, and you are in a crisis
that you never could have anticipated.
Now all tho powers of darkness come
around, and they chuckle and they chatter
and they say: "Aha, here Is the old fellow
who was so proud of his integrity and who
bragged he couldn’t be overthrown by
temptation and was so uproarious in bis
demonstrations of indignation at tho de
falcation 15 years ago! Lei us see!"
A Glaaeo Backward.
God lets the man go. God, who had
kept that man under his protecting ease,
lets the man go and try fdr himself the
majesty of hie integrity- God letting tho
man go, the powers of darkness pounce
upon him. I see you some day in your
office in great excitement. One of two
things you oan do—be honest and be pau
perised and have your children brought
home from school, your family dethroned
in sociul influence; the other thing is you
can step a little aside from that which Is
right, you eaa only just go half an inch
out of the proper path, you oan only take
a little risk, and then you have all your
finances foir and right. You will have a
largo property. You oau leave a fortune
for your Mildren and endow a college and
build a public library in your native town.
You halt and wait and halt and wait un
til your lips get White. You decide to risk
it. Only a few strokes of the pen now.
But, oh, how your band trembles, bow
dreadfully it trembles! The die la oast.
By the strangsst and most awful oonjuno?
tien of any one oouldhave
imagined you ara prostrated. Bankruptcy,
commercial annihilation, exposure, crime.
Good men mourn and devils bold carnival,
and you see your own nameto the bead of
the newspaper column in a whole congress
of exclamation points, and White you are
reading tho anathema in titoroportortai
and editorial paragraph it ocean to you
how much this story is like that of the de
falcation 15 years ego, and a clap of thun
der shakes the window sill, saying, ‘’With
what measure ye mete it shall be measured
to you again.”
You took in another direction. Thera
is nothing like ebullitions of temper to put
a man to disadvantage. You, a man with
calm pulses and a fine digestion and per
fect health, cannot understand bow any
body should bo capsized to temper by an
infinitesimal annoyance. You say, “I
couldn’t be unbalanced In that way.”
Perhaps you smile at a provocation that
makes another man swear. You pride
yourself on your imperturbability. You
say with your manner, though you have
too much good taste to say it with your
-words: “I have a great deal mon sense
than that man has. I have a great deal
more equipoise of temper than that man
has. I never could make such a puerile
exhibition of myself as that man has
made.”
Paid at East.
Let me see. Did you ndt say that you
could not be tempted to an ebullition of
temper? Some September you come home
from your summer watering place, and you
have Inside away back in your liver or
spleen what-we call in qur day malaria,
but what the old folks called chills and
fever. You take quinine until your ears
are fltet bussing beehives and toen roaring
Niagaras. You take roots and herbs) you
take everything. You get well. But the
next day you feel uncomfortable, and you
yawn, and you stretch, and you shiver,
and you consume, and you suffer. Vexed
more than you can tell, you cannot sleep,
you cannot eat, you-cannot bear to see any
thing that looks happy, You go out to kick
the oat that is asleep in the sun. Your
children’s mirth was once music to you.
Now it is ''deafening. You say, "Boys,
stop that racketi” You turn back from
June to March. In the family and In the
neighborhood your popularity is 95 per
oentoff. The world says: “What Is the
matter with that disagreeable man? What
a Woebegone countenance! I oan’t bear
the sight of him.” You have got you?
pay at last—got your pay. Yoq feel just
as the man felt, that man for whom you
had no mercy, and my text comes in
with marvelous appositenese, “With what
measure ye mete it shall be measured to
you again.” 2
In the study of society I have oome to
this conclusion—that the most of the peo
ple want to: be good, but they do not ex
aotlyjknow how to make it out. They
make enough good resolutions to lift them
Into The vast majority e! peo
ple who fall are the victims of circum

Remember the Process.
Do you know how that physician, that
lawyer, that journalist became the victim
of dissipation? Why, the physician was
kept up night by night on professional
duty. Life and death hovered in tbo bal
ance. His nervous system was exhausted.
There came a time of epidemic, and whole
families were prostrated, and his nervous
strength was gone. He waa all worn out
in the service of the public. Now he must
brace himself op. Now he stimulates. The
life of this mother, the life of this child,
the lite of this father, the life of thia whole
family must be saved and of all theee fam
ilies must be saved, and he stimulates, and
ha does It again and again. You may crit
icise his judgment, but nunember the
prooese. It was not a selfish process by
which be went down. It was magnificent
generosity through which be fell.
That attorney at the bar for weeks has
been standing in a poorly ventilated court
room, listening to tho testimony and con
testing in the dry technicalities of the law,
and now the time has come for him to
r ind up, and be must plead for tbe life of
is client and his nervous system is all
gone. If he fails in that speech, bis client
perishes. If be have eloquence enough in
that hour, his client is saved. He stimu
lates.
That journalist has bad exhausting m id
night work. He has had to report speechee
and orations that kept him up till a very
late hour. He has gone with much expo
sure working up some case of crime in com
pany with a detective. Ho site down at
midnight to write out bls notes from A'
memorandum scrawled on a pad under
unfavorable circumstances. His strength
te gone. Fidelity to the poblkflntelll
ganoe. fidelity to his own tivelibood, de
mand that be keep up. He must keep up.
He stimulates. Again and again he does
that, and be goes down. You may criti
cise his judgment In tbe matter, but have
mercy. Remember the process. Do not
be bard.
