WashiNGTON, June s.—The doom of ar
rogance and the reward of fidelity are les
gon* which Dr. Talmage here draws from
Mordeoal on horeebaok and Haman afoot;
| .*'T. **** Eether til, 10. So they hanged
■ ataman on the fallows that he had pre-
for Mordecai. ”
Here is an oriental courtier, about the
offensive maa4n Hebrew history,
Haman by name. He plotted for the de
-truotion of the Israelitish nation, and I
wonder no* that ih some of the Hebrew
to this day when Haman’s
name Is mentioned the congregation clinch
flats and stamp their feet and ery,
•‘lat his name be blotted out!" Haman
prime minister in the magnificent
pourt of Persia. Thoroughly appreciative
of the honor conferred, he expects every
body that he passes to be obsequious.
Owing in one day at the gate of the pal
ace, the servants drop their heads in honor
of his office, but a Hebrew named Mor
deoal gases upon the passing dignitary
without beading his head or taking off
his hat. H* was a good man and would
net have been negligent of the ordinary
courtesies of life, but he felt no respect
either for Haman or the nation from which
he had come. So he could not be hypo
critical, and while others made oriental
salaam, getting clear down before this I
prime minister when he passed, Mordecal,
the Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of his.
neck and kept his chin clear up. Because
s. of that affront Haman gets a decree from
Ahaseurus, the dastardly king, for the
* massacre of all tho Israelites, and that, of
course, will include Mordecal. •' _
Comedy and Tragedy.
To make a long story short, through
Queen Esther this whole plot was revealed
to her husband, Ahasuerus. One night
Ahasuerus, who was afflicted with insom
nia, in his sleepless hours calls for his sec
retary to read him a few passages of Per
sian history, and so while away the night.
In tho book read that night to the king an
I > account was given of a conspiracy, from
■ Whiah Mordecal, the Hebrew, had saved
the king’s life and for which kindness
Mordecal had never received any reward.
Haman, who had been fixing up a nice
gallows to hang Mordecal on, was walk
ing outside the door of the king’s sleeping
apartment and was called in. The king
told him that he had just had read to him
the account of some one who had saved his
(the king’s) life, and he asked what re
ward ought to be given to such a one.
Self conceited Haman, supposing that he
himself was to get the honor and not im
agining for a moment that tho deliverer
oFthe king’s life was Mordecal, says,
’’Why, your majesty ought to make a tri
umph for him and put a crown on him
and set him on a splendid horse, high step
ping and full blooded, and then have one
of your princes lead the horse through the
streets crying: ’Bow the knee! Here
comes a man who has saved the king’s
-4Uel’ ” Then said Ahasuenis in severe
tones to Haman: “I know all about your
r sooundrelism. Now you go out and make
a triumph for Mordecal, the Hebrew,
whom you hate. Put the best saddle on
the finest horse, and you, the prince, hold
the stirrup while Mordecal gets on and
then lead his horse through the street.
Make haste!’’
What a spectacle! A comedy and trag
edy at one and the same time. There they
go I Mordecal; who had been despised,
now starred and robed In the stirrups.
Haman, the chancellor, afoot, holding the
pranoliig, TCfylny, changing stellAon.
Mordecal bends his neck at last, but it is
to took down at the degraded prime min
ister walking beneath him. Huzza for
Mordecal! Alas for Haman! But what
a pity to have the gallows, recently built,
entirely wasted I It is 60 cubits high and
built with care, and Haman had erected
it for Mordecal, by whose stirrups he now
walks as groom. Stranger and more
Mailing than any romgwe, there go up
Che steps of the scaffolding, side by side, the
hangman and Haman, the ex-ahancellor.
‘‘Ho hanged Haman on the gallows
that he had prepared for Mordecal. ’*
laesons of Warning.
Although so many years have passed
since cowardly Ahasuerus reigned and
the beautiful Esther answered to his
whims and Persia perished, yet from the
life and death of Haman we may draw
living lessons of warning and instruction.
And first we oome to the practical sug
gestion that when the heart is wrong
things very insignificant will destroy our
comfort. Who would have thought that a
great prime minister, admired and ap
plaufied fay millions of Persians, would
have been so nettled and harassed by any
thing trivial? What more could the great
dignitary have wanted than his chariots
and attendants and palaces and banquets.
If affluence of circumstances can make a
man contented and happy, surely Haman
should have been contented and happy.
« No, Morcteoai’s refusal of a bow takes the
glitter from the gold and the richness
from the purple and the speed from the
chariots. -With a heart puffed up with
everir.. inflation of vanity and revenge, it
was impotable fen: him to be happy. The
silence orMordecal at the gate was louder
than the braying of trumpets in the pal
ace. Thus shall it always be if the heart
is not right. Circumstances the most triv
ial will disturb the spirit.
It lg not the great wdantittes of life that
create the most wotriment. I have seen
men, felled by repeated Mows Os misfor
tune, arising from the dust, never de
sponding. Sut toe most of the disquiet I
which men suffer is from insignificant
causes, as a Hon attacked by some beast
of prey tarns easily around and slays him,
let runs roaring through toe forests at the
alighting tm his brawny neck of a few in
tents? You meet some groat loss in busi
with comparative composure, but you
can think of petty trickeries inflicted upon
you which arouse all your capacity for
wrath and rerrin in your heart an un
bearable annoyance. If you look back up
to your life, you will find that toe most
of toe vmwtions and dtoturbances of spirit
which you felt were produeedbyaircum
■tances that were not worthy of notice. If
you want to be happy, you must not care
f °r trifles. Do not be too minute in your
inspection of the treatment you receive
from others. Who cares whether Mordecai
bows when you pass or stands erect and
stiff as a cedar? That woodmanwould
make much clearing in the forest who
should stop to bind up every little bruise
«>d scratah he received in the thicket, nor
will that man accomplish much for the
* world or tho church who is too watchful
tod appreciative of petty annoyances
There Are multitudes of people in the world <
constantly harrowed because they pass 1
their lives not in searching out those I
things which are attractive and deserving,
but in spying oiit with all their powers of 1
virion to see whether they cannot find a i
Mordecal.
Aa Emblem of Worldllneae.
Again, I learn from tho life of the man •
under our notice that worldly vanity and i
sin are very anxious to have piety bow be- ,
fore them. Haman was a fair emblem of
entire worldliness and Mordecai the repre
sentative of unflinching godliness. Such
were the usages of society in ancient times i
that had this Israelite bowed to the prime '
minister it would have been an acknowl
edgment of respect for his character and '
nation. Mordecai would therefore have
sinned against, his religion had he made
any obeisance or dropped his chin half an
inch before Haman. When therefore
proud Haman attempted to compel a
homage which was not felt, he only did
what the world ever since has tried to do
when it would force our holy religion in
any way to yield to its dictates. Daniel,
if he had been a monos religious com
promises, would never have been thrown
into the den of lions. He might have
made some arrangements with King Dari
us whereby he could have retained part of
, his form of religion without making him
self so completely -obnoxious to the idol
aters. Paul might have retained the favor
of his rulers and escaped martyrdom if he
had only been willing to mix up his Chris
tian faith with a few errors. His unbend
ing Christian ciiaracter was taken as an
Insult.
Fagot and rack and halter in all ages
have been only the different ways in which
the world has demanded obeisance. It
was once, away up on the top of the tem
ple, that satan commanded the holy oae
of Nazareth to kneel before him, but it is
not now so much on the top of churches
as down in the aisle and the pew and the
pulpit that satan tempts the espousers of
the Christian faith to kneel before him.
Why was it that the Platonic philosophers
of eariy times as well as Toland, Spinoza
and BolingLrdEb of later days were so mad
ly opposed to Christianity? Certainly not
because it favored immoralities or arrested
civilization or dwarfed the intellect. The
genuine reason, whether admitted or not,
was because the religion of Christ paid no
respect to their intellectual vanities.
Blount and Boyle and the host of infidels
hatched out by the vile reign of Charles
11, as reptiles crawl out of a marsh of
slime, could not keep their patience be
cause, as they passed along, there were
Bitting in the gate of the church such men
as Matthew and Mark and Luke and
John, who would not bend an inch, in re
spect to their philosophies.
Satan’s Wiles.
Satan told our first parents that they
would become as god* if they would only
reach up and take a taste of the fruit.
They tried it -and. failed, but their de
scendants are not yet satisfied with the ex
periment. We have now many desiring to
be as gods, reaching up after yet another
apple. Beason, scornful of God’s Word,
may foam and strut with the proud wrath
of a Haman and attempt to compel the
homage of the good, but in the presence
of men and angels it shall be confounded.
“God shall smite thee, thou whited wall!”
When science began to make its brilliant
discoveries, there were great facta brought
to light that seemed to overthrow the truth
of the Bible. The archaeologist with his
crowbar and the geologist with his ham
mer and the chemist with his batteries
charged upon the Bible. Moses’ account
of the creation seemed denied by the very
structure of the earth. The astronomer
wheeled around his telescope until the
heavenly bodies seemed to marshal them
selves ■gainst the Bible as the stars in
their courses fought against Sisera. Ob
servatories and universities rejoiced at
what they considered the extinction of
Christianity. ’ They gathered new courage
at what they considered past victory and
pressed on their conquest into the king
dom of nature until, alas for them, they
discovered too much! God’s Word had
only been lying in ambush that, ih some
unguarded moment, witKa sudden bound,
it might tear infidelity to pieces.
It was as when Joshua attacked the city
of Al. He selected 80,000 men and con
cealed most of them; then, with a few
men, he availed the city, which poured out
its numbers and strength upon Joshua’s
little herd. According to previous plan,
they fell back In seeming defeat, but after
all the proud inhabitants of the city had
been brought out of their homes and had
joined in the pursuit of Jfiehua suddenly
that brave man halted in his flight, and,
with his spear pointing toward the city,
80,000 men bounded from the thickets as
panthers spring to their prey, and the pur
suers were dashed to pieces, while the
hosts of Joshua pressed up to the city and,
with their lighted torches, tossed it into
flame. Thus it was that the discoveries
of science seemed to give temporary 'vic
tory against God and the Bible, and for
awhile the ohuroh setod as if she wore on
a retreat, but .when all the opposers of God
and truth had joined in the pursuit and
were rare of the field Christ gave ths sig
nal to his chtrch, ansl r turning, they trove
back their foes in shame. There was
found to be no antagonism between na
ture and revelation. The universe and
the Bible were, found to be the work of the
same hand, two strokes of the same pen,
their authorship the same God.
Pride Before a rail.
Again, learn the lesson that pride goeth
before a fall. Was any man ever so far up
as Haman, who tumbled so far down?
Yes, on a smaller scale every day the
world sees the Bame tbing ? Against their
very advantages men tripinto destruction.
When God humbles proud men, it is usu
ally at the moment of their greatest arro
gancy. If there be a man in your com
munity greatly puffed up with worldly
success, you have but to stand a little
while and you will see him oome down.
You say, “I wonder .that God allows that
man to go on riding over others’ heads
and tasking great assumptions of power.”
There is no wonder about it. Haman has
not yet got to the top. Pride is a com
mander, well plumed and caparisoned, but
it leads forth a dark and frowning host.
We have the beet of authority for saying
that “pride goeth before destruction and
a haughty spirit before a fall.” The ar
rows from the Almighty’s quiver are apt
to strike a man when on the wing. Goliath
shakes his great spear in defiance, but the
small stones from the brook Elah make
him stagger and fall like an ox under the
butcher’s bludgeon. He who is down can
not fall. Vessels scudding under bare
poles do not feel the farce ot the storm,
but those with all sails set capsize at the
sudden descent of the tempest.
Again, this oriental tale reminds us of
the fact that wrongs we prepare for others
return upon ourselves. The gallows that
Haman built for Mordecai became the
prime minister’s strangulation. Robe
spierre, who sent so many to the guillo
tine, bad his own head chopped off by the
horrid instrument. The evil you practice
- —— - ' " ——’
on others will recoil ypbn your own pste
Slanders oome hosn A . Oppressions COM
home. Cruelties comu home.
You will yet be a lack' y w alking beside
tho very charger on which you expected to
ride others down. When Charles I, who
had destroyed Strafford, was about to be
beheaded, he said, “I basely ratified an
unjust sentence, and tho similar Injustice
I am now to undergo is a sensible retribu
tion for tho punishment I Inflicted on an
Innocent man.” Lord Jaffrey* after tar
caroeratlng many innocent and good, peo
ple in London Tower wa» himself Jfopria
oned in the same place, where the shades
of those whom he had msituated sesased
to haunt him, so that he kept crying to his
attendante, “Keep them off, gentlemen,
for God’s sake, keep them off I” Thechlck
ens had come home to roost. The body of
Bradshaw, the English judge who had
been ruthless and cruel in his decisions,
was taken from his splendid tomb in West
minster abbey, and at Tyburn hung on a
gallows from morning until night in tbs'
presence of jeering multitudes. Haman’s
gallows came a little late, but it came.
Opportunities fly in a straight line and
j ust touch us as they pass from eternity to
eternity, but the wrongs we do others fly
in a circle, and, however the circle may
widen out, they are sure to come back to
tho point from which they started. There
are guns that kick.
Fortune*. Tagarles,
Furthermore, let the story of Haman
teach us how qulokly turns the. wheel of
fortune. One day, excepting the king,
Haman was the mightiest man in Petrin,
but the next day a lackey. So we go up,
and so we come down. You seldom find
any man 20 years in the same circum
stances. Os those who in political life 20
years ago were the most prominent, how
few remain in oonsplculty! Political par
ties make certain meh do their hard work
and then, after using them as hacks, turn
them ont on the commons to die. Every
four years there ls a bomptete revolution,
and about-8,000 men who ought certainly
to be tke next president are shamefully
while some who this day are
obscure and poverty stricken will ride up
on the shoulders ot the people and take
their tern at admiration and the spoils of
office. Oh, how quickly the wheel turns!
Ballot boxes are the steps on which men
come down as often as they go
those who were long ago successful in the
accumulation of property how few have
not met with reverses I While many of
those who then were straitened in circum
stances now hold tho bonds and the bank
keys of the nation. Os all fickle things In
the world fortune Is the most fickle. Ev
ery day she changes her mind, and woe to
the man who puts any confidence in What
she promises or proposes! She cheers when
you go up, and she laughs when you oome
down. Oh, trust not a moment your
heart’s affections to this changeful world!
Anchor your soul in God. From Christ’s
companionship gather your satisfaction.
Then, come sorrow or gladness, success or
defeat, riches or poverty, honor or dis
grace, health or sickness, life or death,
time or eternity, all is yours, and ye are
Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
Wealth aad Happiness.
Again, this Hamqn’a history shows us
that outward possessions and circum
stances cannot make a man happy. While
yet fully vested In authority and the chief
adviser tat tha Persian monarch and every-
B that equipage and pomp and splen
resldence could do was his be is an
lesson of wretchedness. There are
today more aching sorrows under crowns
of royalty than radar the ragged caps of
the houseless. Much of the world’s afflu
ence and gayety is only misery In colors.
Many a woman seated In the street at her
apple stand is happier the ffTSIII.
bankers. The mountains ol Woridjyhonor
are covered with perpetual Ihow. Tamer
lane conquered half the world, but could
not subdue his own. fears. Ahab goes to
bed sick because Naboth will not sell him
his vineyard. Herod is in agony because a
little child is born down in Bethlehem.
Great Felix trembles .because a poor min
ister will preach righteousness, temperance
and judgment to come. From the time of
.Louis XII to Louis XVTII was there a
straw bottomed chair in Franco that did
not sit more solidly than the-great throne
on which the French kings reigned?
Were I called to sketch misery in its
worst form I would not go up to the dark
alley of the poor, but up the highway over
which prancing Buoephall strike the
sparks with their hoofs and between stat
uary and parks of stalking deer. Wretch
edness is more bitter when swallowed from
gemmed goblets than from earthen pitcher
or pewter mug. If there are young people
here who are looking for this position and
that circumstance, thinking that worldly
success will bring peace of the soul, let
them shatter tho delusion. It Is not what
we get; it to what we- are. Dan jd among
the lions is happier than Klhg Darius on
his throne, and whefi life is’ closing bril
liancy of worldly surroundings will be no
solace. Death is blind and sees no differ
ence between a king and his clown, be
tween the Nazarene and the Athenian, be
tween a bookless hut and a national li
brary. The frivolities of life cannot, with
their giddy laugh, echoing from heart to
heart, entirely drown the voice of a tre
mendous conscience which says: “I am
immortal. The stars shall die, but lam
immortal- One wave ot eternity shall
drown time In Its depths, but I am im
mortal The earth shall have a shroud of
flame, and the heavens flee at the glanoe
of the Lord, but I am Immortal From
all the heights aad depths of my nature
rings down and rings up and rings out
the word ‘ Immortal. ’ ” A good conscience
and assurance of life eteraal through the
Lord Jesus Christ are the only securities.
The Day of Triumph.
The soul’s happiness to too large a craft
to sail up the stream of worldly pleasure.
As ship carpentars say, E draws toe much
water. This earth to a bubble, and it will
burst. This life is a vision, and it will
soon pass away. Time I It Is only a rip
ple, and It breaketh against the throne of
judgment. Our days! They fly swifter
than a shuttle, weaving for us a robe of
triumph or a garment of shame. Begin
your life with religion, and for its great
est trial you will be ready. Every day
will be a triumph, and death will bo only
a king’s servant calling you to a royal
banquet.
In olden time the man who was to re
celve the honors of knighthood was requir
ed to spend the previous night fully armsd
and, with shield and lance, to walk up
■nd down among the tombs of tee dead.
Through all the hours of that night his
steady step was beard, and when mornlag
dawned amid grand parade and the sound
of oorncta the honors of knighthood were
bestowed. Thus it shall be with the good
man’s soul in the night before heaven.
Fblly armed with shield and sword and
helmet, he shall watch and wait until the
darkness fly and tho morning break, and
amid the sound of celestial harpings the
soul shall take the honors of heaven amid
tho innumerable throng with robes snowy
white streaming over seas of sapphire.
