W ashing ton, Nov. fl.—ln this discourse
Dr. Talmage seleote one of the boldest fig
ures of the Bible to present moot practical
and encouraging truths; test, Ephesians
vi, 12, “We wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. ”
Squpwniisbnees and fastidiousness were
! never charged against Paul’s rhetoric. In
the war against evil he took the first
weapon he could lay his hand on. For il
lustration, he employed the theater, the
arena, the foot race, and there was noth
ing in the Isthmian game, with its wreath
of pine leaves,dM- Pythian game, with its
wreath of laurel and palm, or Nemean
game, with its wreath of parsley, or any
Boman circus, but he felt he had a right
to put it in sermon or epistle, and are you
not surprised that in my text he calls upon
a wrestling bout for suggerilrcnessf Plu
tarch says that wrestling is the most ar
tistic and cunning of athletic games. We
must make a wide difference between
pugilism, the lowest of spectacles, and
wrestling, which is an effort in sport to
put down another on floor or ground, and
we—all of us—lndulged in it in our boy
hood days If we were healthful and plucky.
The ancient wrestlers were first bathed in
oil and then sprinkled with sand. The
third throw decided the victory, and many
a man who went down in the first throw
or second throw in the third throw was on
top, and his opponent under. Tho Homans
did not like this game very much, for It
was not savage enough, no blows or kicks
being allowed in the game. They preferred
the foot of hungry panther on the breast
of fallen martyr.
In wrestling, the opponents would bow
in apparent suavity, advance face to face,
put down both feet solidly, take each other
by the arms and push each other backward
and forward until the work began In real
earnest, and there were contortions and
strangulations and violent strokes of the
foot of one contestant against the foot of
the other, tripping him up, or, with strug,
gle that threatened apoplexy or death, the
defeated fell and the shouts of the specta
tors greeted the victor. I guess Paul had
seen some such contest, and it reminded
him of the struggle of the soul with temp
tation and the Struggle of truth with error
and the struggle of heavenly forces against
Apollyonio powers, and he dictates my text
to ah amanuensis, for all his letters, save
the one to Philemon, seem to have been
dictated, and as the amanuensis goes on
with his work I hear the groan and laugh
and shout of earthly and celestial belliger
ents. ‘ ‘We wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places.”
Polita Athletes.
I notice that as these wrestlers advanced
to throw each other they bowed one to the
other. It was a civility, not only in Gre
cian and Boman games, but in Ihter day,
ttfvdl the wrestling bouts at Clerkenwell,
England, and in the famous wrestling
match during' the reign cf Henry 111, in
pt. Giles' Field, between men of Westmin
ster and people of London. However
rough a twist and hard a pull each wrestler
contemplated giving his opponent, they
approached each other with politeness and
suavity. The genuflexions, the affability,
the courtesy in no wise hindered the de
cisiveness of the contest. Well, Paul, I
see what you mean. In this awful strug
gle between right and wrong, we must
not forget to be gentlemen and ladies.
Affability never hinders, but always helps.
You are powerless as soon as you get mad.
Do not call rumsellers murderers. Do not
call infidels fools. Do not call higher
critics reprobates. Do not call all card
players and theater goers children of the
devil. Do not say that the dance breaks
through into hell. Do not deal in vituper
ation and billingsgate and contempt and
adjectives dynamitic. The other side can
beat us at that. Their dictionaries have
more objurgation and brimstone.
We are in the strength of God to throw
Oat on jta back every abomination that
curses the earth, but let us approach oyp
mighty antagonist with suavity. Her
cules, son of Jupiter and Alcmena, will
by a precursor of smiles be helped rather
than damaged for the performance of his
“12 labors.” Let us be as wisely strategic
in religiops circles as attorneys in court
rooms, who are complimentary to each
other in the opening remarks before they
pomp into legal struggle such as that
which left Rufus Choate or David Panj
Brown triumphant or defeated. People
who get into a rage in reformatory work
accomplish nothing but the depletion of
their own nervous system. There is such
a thing as having a gun so hot at the
touchhole that it explodes, killing the one
that sets it off. There are some reforma
tory meetings to which I always decline
to go and take part, because they are apt
to become demonstrations of bad temper.
1 never like to hear a man swear, even
though he swear on the right side. The
very Paul who in my text employed in
illustration the wrestling match behaved
pn a ipptporablp occasion as we ought to
behave. The translators of the Bible made
pn unintentional mistake when they rep
resented Paul as insulting the people of
Athens by speaking of ‘‘the unknown god
Whom ye ignorantly worship.” Instead
pt charging them with ignorance the orig
inal Indicates be complimented them by
suggesting that they were very religious,
but as they confessed that there were some
things they did not understand about God
he proposed to say some things concern
ing him, beginning where they had left
off- The same Paul who said in one place,
courteous,” and who had noticed tie
bow preceding the wrestling match, her?
exercises suavities before he proceeds proa?
tically to throw down the rooky side of
the AcropoUs the whole. Parthenon of
Idolatries, Minerva and Jupiter smashed
up with the rest of them. In this holy
war polished rifles will do more execution
than blunderbusses. Let our wrestlers
bow as they go into the struggle which
will leave all perdition under and all
heaven on top.
> Th* Teat of Strength.
Remember also that these wrestlers
went through severe and continuous course
cf preparation for their work. They were
put upon such diet as would best develop
their Paul says, “Every man
that striveth for the mastery is temperate
in all things.” The wrestlers were put
under complete discipline—bathing, gym
nastics, struggle in sport with each other
to develop strength end give quickness to
it was giant clutching giant. And, my
friends, if we do not want ourselves to be
thrown in this wrestte with the rin and
error of the world we had better get ready
by Christian discipline, by holy self de
nial, by constant practice, by submitting
to divine Mijtwvtod and direction. Do nut
begrudgo the time and the money low that
young man who to in preparation for IB*
ministry, spending two years in grammar
school and fonr years in college and three
yean in theological seminary. I know
that nine years are a big slice to take off
of a man’s active life, but if you realized
the height and strength of the archangels
of evil iu our time with which that young
man is going to wrestle you would not
think nine years of preparation were too
much. An uneducated ministry was ex
cusable in other days, but not in this
time,, loaded with schools and colleges. A
man who wrote me the other day a letter
asking advioe, as he felt called to preach
the gospel, began the word “God” with a
small g. That kind of a man is not called
to preach the goapelr Illiterate men,
preaching the gospel, quote for their own
enoourhgment the Scriptural passage,
“Open thy mouth wide, and I fill it."
Yes! He will fill it with wind. Prepara
tion for this wrestling is absolutely neces
sary. Many years ago Dr. Newman and
Dr. Sunderland, on the platform of Brig
ham Young’s tabernacle at Salt Lake
City, gained the victory because they had
so long been skillful wrestlers for God.
Otherwise Brigham Young, who was him
self a giant in some things, would have
thrown them out of the window. Get
ready in Bible classes. Get ready in Chris
tian Endeavor meetings. Get ready by
giving testimony in obscure places before
giving testimony in conspicuous places.
A Miarhty Straggle.
Your going around with a Bagster’s
Bible, with flaps at the edges, under your
arm does not qualify you for the work of
an evangelist. In this day of profuse gab
remember that it is not merely capacity
to talk, but the fact that you have some
thing to say, that is going to fit you for
the struggle into which you are to go with
a smile on your face and illumination on
your brow, but out of which you will not
come until all your physical and mental
and moral and religious energies have
been taxed to the utmost and you have
not a nerve left or a thought unexpended
or a prayer unsaid or a sympathy unwept.
In this struggle between right and wrong
aocept no challenge on platform or in
newspaper, unless you are prepared. Do
not misapply the story of Goliath the
Great and David the Little. David had
been practicing with a sling on dogs and
wolves and bandits, and a thousand times
had he swirled a stone around his head be
fore he aimed at the forehead of the giant,
and tumbled him backward, otherwise
the big foot of Goliath would almost have
covered up the crushed form of the son of
Jesse.
Notice also that the success of a wrestler
depended on his having his feet well
Slanted before he grappled his opponent.
luch depends upon the way the wrestler
stands. Standing on an uncertain piece
of ground or bearing all his welghPon
right foot or all his weight on left foot,
he is not ready. A slight cuff of his antag
onist will capsize him. A stroke of the
heel of the other wrestler will trip him.
And in this struggle for God and right
eousness, as well as for our own souls, we
want our feet firmly planted in the gospel
—both feet on the Bock of Ages. It will
not do to believe the Bible in spots or
think some of it true and some of it un
true. You just make up your mind that
the story of the garden of Eden is an alle
gory, and the epistle of James an interpo
lation and that the miracles of Christ can
be accounted for on natural grounds, with
out any belief in the supernatural, and
the first time you are Interlocked in a
wrestle with sin and satan you will go un
der and your feetwill be higher than your
head. It will not do to have one foot oq
a rook and the other on the sand. The
old book would long ago have gone to
pieces if it had been vulnerable. But of
the millions of Bibles that have been
printed within the last 25 years, not one
chapter has been omitted, and the omis
sion of one chapter would have been the
cause of the rejection of the whole edition.
Alas, for those who while trying to
prove that Jonah was never swallowed of
a whale, themselves get swallowed of the
whale of unbelief, which digests but never
ejects its Victims, The inspiration of the
Bible Is not more certain than the preser
vation of the Bible in its present condi
tion. After so many centuries of assault
on the book would it not be a matter of
economy, to say the least—economy of
brain and economy of stationery and econ
omy of printers’ ink—if the batteries now
assailing the book would change their aim
and be aimed against some othey books,
and the world shown that Walter Scott
did not write “The Lady of the Lake,”
nor Homer “The Iliad,” nor Virgil “The
Georgies,” sor Thomas Moore “Laila
Bookh,” or that Washington’s farewell
address was written by Thomas Paine,
and that the war of the American Devolu
tion never occurred. That attempt would
be quite as successful as this long timed
attack anti-Biblical, and then it would be
new. Oh, keep out of this wrestling bout
with the ignorance and the wretchedness
of the world unless you feel that both feet
are planted in the eternal veracities of tho
book of Almighty God!
Science of Wrestling,
Notice also that in this science of wres
tling, to which Paul refers in my text, it
was the third throw that decided the con
test. A wrestler might be thrown once
and thrown twice, but the third time he
might recover himself, and by an unex
pected twist of arm or curve of foot gain
the day. Well, that is broad, smiling, un
mistakable gospel. Some whom I address
through ear or eye, by voice or printed
page, have been thrown in their wrestle
with evil habit.
Aye, you have been thrown twice, but
that does not mean, oh, worsted soul, that
you are thrown forever! I have no au
thority for saying how many times a man
•znay sin and-be forgiven, or how many
times he may fali and yet rise again, but
I have authority for saying that he may
fall 490 times, and 490 times get up. The
Bible declares that God will foigive 70
times 7, and if you will employ the rule of
multiplication you will find that 70 times
7is 490. Blessed be God for such a gos
pel of high hope and thrilling encourage
ment and magnificent rescue. A goepel
of lost sheep brought home on shepherd’s
shoulder, and the prodigals who got into
the low work of putting husks into swines’
troughs brought home to jewelry and ban
queting and hilarity that made the -raft
ers ring.
Three sketches of the same man: A hap
ly home, of which he and a lassie taken
from a neighbor’s house are the united

tunate acquaintance who lead* him in cir
cles too convivial, too late housed, too
scandalous. After awhile, hto money gone
and not able to bear bls part of the ex-
■ pence, he to gradually shoved out and Ig-
Xored and pushed away. Now, wbat a
dilapidated home is bls! A dissipated lift
always shows itself in faded window our
-1 lalds, and impoverished wmmliolm, and ddv
jeoted burroundings, and in broken paiC
Jugs of the garden fence, and the unhinged
gate, and tho dislocated doorbell, and the
disappearance of wife and children from
beCnito among which they shone the bright
est, and laughed the gladdest. If any
man was ever down, that husband and fa
ther is down. " <
A Pawerfal Foe.
The fact is he got into a wrestle with evil
that pushed and pulled and contorted and
exhausted him worse than any Olympian
game ever treated a Grecian, and he was
thrown—thrown out of prosperity into
gloom, thrown out of good association in
to bad, thrown out of health into invalid
ism, thrown out of happiness into misery.
But one day while slinking through one
of tho back streets, not wishing to be rec
ognized, a good thought crosses hto mind,
for he has heard of men flung flat rising
again. Arriving at his house, he calls his
wife in and shuts the door and says:
“Mary,l am going to do differently. This
Is not what I promised you when we were
married. You have been very patient
with me and have borne everything, al
though I would have had no right to com
plain if you bad left me and gone home to
your father’s house. It seems to me that
<moe or twice when I was not myself I
struck you, and several times, I know, I
called you hard names. Now I want you
to forgive me. I am going to do better,
and I want you to help me.” “Help you!”
she says. “Bless your soul, of course I
will help you. I knew you didn’t mean it
when you treated me roughly. All that
is in the past. Never refer to it again.
Today let us begin anew. ”
Sympathizing friends come around and
kind business people help the man to
something to do, so that he can again
earn a living. The children soon have
clothing so that they can go to school.
The old songs which the wife sang years
ago come back to her memory and she
sings them over again at the cradle or
while preparing the noonday meal. Do
mestic resurrection! He comes home
earlier than he used to, and he is glad to
spend the evening playing games with the
children or helping them with arithmetic
or grammar lessons which are a little too
, hard. Time passes on, and some outsider
. suggests to him that be is not getting as
k much out of life as he ought and proposes
, an occasional visit to scenes of worldliness
, and dissipation. He consents to go once,
and, after much solicitation, twice. Then
his old habit comes back. He says he has
been belated and could not get back until
midnight. He had to see some western
merchant that had arrived and talk of
business with him before he got out of
town. Kindness and geniality again quit
the disposition of that husband and father.
The wife’s heart breaks in a new place.
That man goes into a second wrestle with
evil habit and is flung and all hell cackles
at the moral defeat. “I told you so I’ ’ say
many good people who have no faith in
the reformation of a fallen man. “I told
you so! You made a great fuss about hto
restored home, but I knew it would not
last. You can’t trust these fellows who
have once gone wrong.” So with this un
fortunate, things get worse and worse,
and his family have to give up the house,
and the last valuable goes to the pawn
broker’s shop. But that unfortunate man
to sauntering along the street one Sunday
night, and he goes up to a church door,
and the congregation are singing the sec
ond hymn, the one just before sermon, and
it to William Cowper’s glorious hymn:
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
Victory Through Christ.
He goes into tho vestibule of the ahurch
and stope there, not feeling well enough
dressed to go among the worshipers, and
he hears the minister say, “You will find
the words of my text in Luke, the nine
teenth chapter and tenth verse, ‘The Son
. of Man to oome to seek and save that which
was lost. ’ ” The listener in the vestibule
says: “If any man was ever lost, I am
lost, and the Son of Man came to save
that which is lost, and he has found me,
and he will take me out of this lost con
dition. Oh, Christ, have mercy on me.”
The poor man has courage now to enter
the main audience room, and he sits down
on the first seat by the door, and when at
the close of the service the minister comes
down the aisle the poor man tells his
story, and he is enoouraged and invited to
come again, and the way is cleared for
him for membership Ina Christian church,
and he feels the omnipotence of what
Peter the apostle said when he spoke of
those “kept by the power of God through
faith unto complete salvation.” Yet he
is to have one more wrestle before he is
free from evil habits, and he goes into it
not in his own strength, for that has fail
ed him twice, but in the strength of the
Lord God Almighty. The old habit seises
him, and he seizes it, and the wrestlers
bend backward and forward and from side
to side in awful struggle, until the mo
ment comes for his liberation, and with
both arms infused with strength from
God he lifts that habit, swings it in air
and hurls it intothe perdition from which
it camo and from which it never again
will rise. Victory, victory, through our
Lord Jesus Christ! Hear it, all ye wres
tlers! It threw him twice, but the third
time he threw it, and by the grace of God
threw it so hard he is as safe now as if ho
had been ten years in heaven. Oh, lam
so glad that Paul in my text suggests the
wrestlerand the power of the third throw.
But notice that my text suggests thee
the wrestlers on thoother side in the great
struggle for the world’s redemption have
all the forces of demonology to help them,
“We wreetle not against flesh and blood,
, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this
, world, against spiritual wickedness in
i high places.”
All military men will tell you that there
l u nothing more unwise than to under
estimate an army. In estimating what
we have to contend with the most of the
reformers do not recognize the biggest op
posers. They talk about the agnosticism,
and the atheism, and the materialism, and
the Nihilism, and the Pantheism, and the
Brahmanism, and the Mohammedanism,
as well as the more agile and organized
and endowed wickednesses of our day.
But these are only a part of tho hostili
ties urrayed against God and the best In

Triumph of liiphteosuacM.
The time is coming—l know it will
quicken your pulses when I mention to—
when the last mighty evil of the world
Will be grappled by righteousness and
thrown. Which of tho great evils will
survive all the others I know not, whether
war er revenge or fraud or lust or intem
perance or gambling or Sabbath desecra
tion. II will not be “the survival of the
fittest, ” but the survival of the worst. It
will be the evil the most thoroughly in
trenched, moat completely re-enforoed,
moot patronized by wealth and fashion
and pomp, most applauded by all the prin
cipalities and powers and rulers of dark
ness. It will stand, with grim viaage,
looking down upon the graves of all the
other slain abominations—graves dug by
the hot shovels of despair and surmounted
by such epltaphlology as thto: “It biteth
like a serpent and stlngeth like an adder. ”
“The wages of sin is death.” “Her house
Inclineth unto death and her paths unto
the dead. ” * ‘There is away that Beemeth
right to a man, but the end thereof to
death. ” Yes! I imagine we have arrived
at the time when we may say, Yonder
stands the last and only great evil of all
the world to be wrestled down. It stands,
not only looking upon the graves of all
the entombed and epltaphed iniquities of
the world, but ever and anon gazing up
ward in defiance of the heavens and shak-'
Ing its fist at the Almighty, saying:
“Nothing can put me down. I have seen
all tho other enemies of the human race
wrestled down and destroyed, but there to
no arm or foot, human or angelio or de
iflethat can throw me. I have ruined
whole generations, and I swear by all the
thrones of diabolism that I will ruin thto
generation. Come on, all ye churches and
all ye reformatory institutions and all ye
legislaturesand all ye thrones! I chal
lenge you! I plant my feet on this redhot
rock of the world’s woe. I stretch forth
my arms for the mightiest wrestle any
world has ever seen. Come on, oome on!”
Then righteousness will aocept the chal
lenge, and the two mighty wrestlers will
grapple, while all the galleries of earth
and heaven look down from one side, and
all the fiery chasms of perdition look up
from the other side. The two wrestlers
sway to and fro and turn this way and
that, and now the monster evil seems the
mightier of the two, and now righteous
ness seems about to triumph. The prize
is worth a struggle, for to to not a chaplet
of laurel or palm, but the reecue of a world
and a wreath put on the brow by him who
promtoed. “Be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown.” Three
worlds—earth, heaven and hell—hold their
breath while waiting for the result of-tbis
struggle, when, with one mighty swing of
an arm muscled with omnipotence, right
eousness hurls the last evil first on its
knees and then on its face, and then roll
ing off and down with a crash wilder than
that with which Samson hurled the tem
ple of Dagon when he got hold of its two
chief pillars, but more like the throwing
of satan out of heaven, as described by
John Milton:
Him the Almighty power flung
Headlong flaming from the ethereal sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion, down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In adamantine chains and penal Are
Who durst defy tho Omnipotent to arms.
Nine times the space that measures day end
night
To mortal man, he, with his horrid crew,
Lay vanquished, rolling in the flcry gulf,
Confounded, though immortal.
A Boante World.
Aye, that suggests a cheering thought,
that if all the realms of demonology are
on the other side all the realms of angel
ology are on our side, amtfflg them Gabriel
and Michael the archangel, and the angel
of the new covenant, and they are now
talking over the present awful struggle
and final glorious triumph, talking amid
the alabaster pillars and in the ivory pal
aces, and along the broad ways and grand
avenues of the great capital of the uni
verse, and amid the spray of fountains
with rainbows like the “rainbow round
the throne,” and as they take their morn
ing ride In the chariots with white horses
bitted with gold that were seen by John
in vision apocalyptic, and while waiting
In temples for the one hundred and forty
and four thousand to chant, accompanied
by harpers and trumpeters, and thunder
ingsand halleluiahs like the voice of many
waters. Yes, all heaven is on our side,
and the “high places of wickedness” spo
ken of in my text are not so high as the
high places of heaven, where there are
enough reserve forces if our earthly forces
should be overpowered, or in cowardice
fall back, to sweep down some morning at
daybreak and take all this earth for God
before the city clocks could strike IS for
noon. And the cabinet of heaven, the
most augusfl cabinet in the universe, made
Up of three—God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Ghost—are now In ses
sion in the King’s palace, and they are
with us, and they are going to see us
through, and they invite us as soon as we
have done our share of the work to go up
and see them and celebrate the final vic
tory, that to more sure to oome than to
morrow’s sunrise. While I think of to, the
Scotch evangelistic hymn comes upon me
and stirs the strong tide of Scotch blood
that rolls through my arteries:
