[Copyright, IM. *««• *«o- 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. ■ KrrvHsaaaa picturesque the horse into whose long white mane he twisted his fingers a* the mounting.
