TALMAS E’S SERMON.
The Eminent Divine’s Sunday
Discourse.
'Subject: “The Path of .Safely”—Menaces
to Our National Existence—The Dan"
*ei» of Monopoly, Nihilism and In¬
fidelity Pointed Out.
[Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.1
WxsniNQTON, D. 0.—In this discourse Dr.
Talmage speaks ol Borne ot the perils that
threaten our American Institutions and
points out the path ot safety; text, Isaiah
lxii., 4, “Thy laud shall be married."
As the greater Includes the less, so does
the circle of future joy around our entire
world include the epicycle of our own re¬
imagery public. Bold, exhilarant, unique, divine
of the text. At the close of a
week in which for three days our national
oapital was nnd n pageant, and all that grand
review bannered procession and na¬
tional anthems oould do celebrated peace
It may not be inapt to anticipate the time
whon tho Prince of Peace and the Heir of
Universal Dominion shall take possession
of this nation and “thy land shall be mar¬
ried.”
In discusslDg the final destiny of this
world nation, whether it makes all the difference in the
we are on the way to a
funeral or a wedding. The Bible leaves no
doubt on this subject. In pulpits and on
platforms and In placos of public concourse
I hear so many of the muffled drums of evil
the prophecy sounded, as though we were on
way to national interment, and beside
Thebes nnd Babylon and Tyre in the____ cerne-
tery of dead nations our republio was to
be entombed, thnt I wish you to under¬
stand it is not to be obsequies, but nup¬
tials; not mausoleum, but oarpetod altar;
not cypress, but orange blossoms; not re¬
quiem, but wedding march, for “thy land
shall be married.”
I propose to name some of the suitors
| who are claiming the hand of this repub¬
lic. laffluent This that land it is has so fair, so suitors, beautiful, and so it
■will depend many
much upon your advice
■whether this or that shall be accepted or
■rejected. In tho first place, I remark:
■There is a greedy, all grasping monster
■who comes in as suitor seeking the hand
|of ■by this the name republic, of monopoly. and that monsteris His scepter known is
■made out of the iron of the rail track and
■the wire of telegraphy. He does everything

tions and elections, state

he secures the votes of legislators, giving
I them free passes, giving appointments to

But monopoly is not so easily caught
I now as when during the term of Mr. Bu-
’chananthe Legislative Committee in one
of our States explored and exposed the
manner in which a certain railway com¬
pany had obtained a donation of public
land. It was found out that thirteen of the
! Senators of that State received $175,090
I among them, sixty members of the lower
house of that State received between $5000
and $10,000 each, the Governor of that
State received $50,000, his clerk received
[$5000, |.$10,000, the all Lieutenant-Governor the clerks of the Legislature received

Ion [going a larger or smaller scale Is all the time

I but it is not so blundering us it used to be,
I and therefore not so easily exposed or ar-
rested. I tell you that tbe overshadowing

I Monopoly in England has ground hundreds
1 ol thousands of her best people into semi-
starvation and in Ireland has driven multi-
tudinous tenants almost to madness and
.
In the United States proposes to take tbe
wealth of 60.000,000 or 70,000,000 of people
and put it in a few silken wallets.
Monopoly, brazen faced, iron fingered,
vulture hearted monopoly offers his hand
to this republic. He stretches it out over
the lakes and up the great railroads and
over the telegraph poles of the continent
and says, “Here is my heart and hand; be
mino forever." Let tbe millions of the
people North, South, East and West forbid
the banns of that marriage, forbid them at
the ballot box, forbid them on tbe plat¬
form, forbid them by great organizations, senti¬
forbid them-by the overwhelming
ment of an outraged nation, forbid them
by the protest of the church of God, forbid
them by prayer to high heaven. Thnt
Horod shall not have this Abigail. It shall
not be to all devouring monopoly that this
land is to be married.
Another suitor claiming [he hand of this
republic is nihilism.
He owns nothing but a knife for uni¬
versal cuttbroatery explosion. aud a. nitroglycerin
bomb for universal He believes
in no God, no government, no heaven and
no hell except what he can make on earth!
He stew the czar of Russia, keeps many a
king practically imprisoned, killed Abra¬
ham Lincoln, would put to death every
king and president on earth, and if he had
the power would climb up until he could
drive the God of heaven from His throne
and take it himself, the universal butcher.
In France It Is called communism; in the
United States it is called anarchism; in
Russia R is called nihilism", but that last is
the most graphic and descriptive term. It
means complete and eternal smash up. It
would make the holding of property a
crime and it would drive a dagger through
your heart and put a torch to your dwell¬
ing and turn over this whole land into the
possession of theft and lust and rapine and
m this monster live? In all the
Where does
towns and cities of this land. It offers its
hand to this fair republic. It proposes to
tear to pieces the ballot box, the legislative
hall the congressional assembly. It would
take this land and divide it up, or rather
divide it down. It would give as much to
the idler as to the worker, to the bad as to
the good. Nihilism! This panther, having
prowled across other lands, has set its paw
on our soil, aud it is only waiting for the It
time in which to spring upon its prey.
was nilii'ism that burned the railroad prop¬
erty at Pittsburg during the great riots; it
w»a nihilism that slew black people in our
Northern oltles during the war; It was nj-
hilism that mnhled to death the Chinese
immigrants glures years ngOj it Is nihilism that
out ot the windows of the drunker-
les upon sober people as they go by. AW
Its power has never yet been testedi I
pray God its power may never be fully
tested. It would, if it hud the power, leave
house every ohureh, chapel, cathedral, school-
and college In ashes.
Another suitor for the hand of this na¬
tion is infidelity. When the midnight ruf.
Anns despoiled the grave of A. T. Stewart
in St. Mark’s ehurohyard, everybody was
shoekod, but infidelity proposes something
worse than that—the robbing of all the
graves of Christendom of the hope of a re¬
surrection. It proposes to ohisel out from
the tomb-stones of yonr Christian dead the
words, “Asleep in Jesus’’ and substitute
the words, “Obliteration—annihilation."
Infidelity proposes to take the letter from
the world’s Father, Inviting the nations to
virtue nnd happiness and tear it up into
fragments so small that you cannot read a
word of it. It proposes to take the conso¬
lation from the broken hearted and the
soothing pillow from the the dying. Infidelity
proposes to swear in President of the
United States and the supreme court anil
the Governors of States and the witnesses
in the courtroom with their right hand on
Paine’s “Age of Reason” or Voltaire’s
“Philosophy take of this History.” It the proposes to
away from country between book that
makes the difference the United
States and the kingdom of Dahomey, be¬
tween American civilisation and Bornesian
cannibalism. If would infidelity could destroy
the Scriptures, it In 200 years turn
the civilized nations back to semibarbarism,
and then from semibarbarism Into mid¬
night savagery until the morals of a menag¬
erie of tigers, rattlesnakes and chimpan¬
zees would be better than the morals of the
shipwrecked human race.
The only impulse In the right direction
that this world has ever had has oome
from the Bible. It was the mother of
Roman law and of healthful jurisprudence.
That book has been the mother of all re¬
forms and all charities—mother of Eng¬
lish magna charta and American Declara¬
tion of Independence. Benjamin Franklin,
holding that Holy Book in his hand, stood
before an infidel club in Paris and read to
them out of the prophecies of Habakkuk,
and the infidels, not knowing what book
it was, declared that it was the best poetry
they had ever heard, That book brought
George Washington down on his knees in
the snow at Valley Forge and led the dy-
“Rock ing_Prinee Albert to ask some one to sing
of Ages.”
I tell you that the worst attempted crime
of the century is the attempt to destroy
this book. Vet infidelity, loathsome, steneh-
ful, leprous, pestiferous, rotten monster
stretches out Us hand, ichorous with the
second death, to take the hand of this re¬
public. It stretches it out through seduc¬
tive magazines, and through lyceum lec¬
tures and through caricatures of religion.
It asks for all that part of the continent al¬
ready fully settled, and the two-thirds not
yet occupied. It says: “Give me all east
of the Mississippi, with the keys of the
church and with the Christian printing
presses—then give me Wyoming, give me
Alaska, give me Montana, give me Colo¬
rado, give me all the States west of the
Mississippi, and I will take those places and
keep them by right of possession long be¬
fore the gospel can be fully intrenched.”
But there Is another suitor that presents
his claim for the hand of this republic. He
is mentioned in the verse following my
text where it says. “As the bridegroom re-
joiceth over the bride, so shall thy God re¬
joice over thee.” Before the Columbus and his
120 men embarked on Santa Maria, the
Pinta, and the Nina, for their wonderful
voyage, what was the last thing they did?
They sat down and took the holy sacrament
of the Lord Jesus Christ. After they caught
the first glimse of this country and the gun
of one ship had announced it to the other
vessels that land had been discovered, what
was the song tbst went up from all the
three decks? “Gloria in excelsis.” After
Columbus and his 120 men had stepped
from the ship’s deck to the solid ground,
what did they do? They all knelt and con¬
secrated the new world to God. What did
the Huguenots do after they landed In the
Carolinas? What did the Holland refugees
do after they had landed in New York?
What did the pilgrim fathers do after they
landed in New England? With bended knee
and uplifted face and heaven besieging
prayer, they took possession of this conti¬
nent for Godt How was the first American
Congress opened? By prayer, in the name
of Jesus Christ. From its birth this nation
was pledged for holy marriage with Christ.
And then see how good God has been to
us! Just open the map of the continent
and see how it is shaped for immeasurable
prosperities. Navigable rivers, more in
number and greater than of any other land,
rolling down on all sides to the sea, prophe¬
sying large manufactures and easy com¬
merce. Look at the great ranges of moun¬
tains timbered with wealth on the top and
sides, metaled with wealth underneath.
One hundred and eighty thousand square
miles of coal. One hundred and eighty
thousand squure miles of iron. The land
so contoured that extreme weather hardly
ever lasts more than three days—extreme
heat or extreme cold. Climate for the
most part bjacing and favorable for brawn
and brain. All fruits, all minerals,
all harvests. Scenery displaying an
autumnal pageantry that no laud
oh earth pretends to rival. No
South American earthquake. No Scotch
mists. No Lyndon Fogs. No Egyptian
plagues. No Germanic divisions. The
people of the United States are happier
than any people on oarth. It is the testi¬
mony of every man that has traveled
abroad. For the poor more sympathy,
for the industrious more opportunity.
Oh, how good God was to our fathers, and
how good He has been to us and our chil¬
dren. To Him, blessed be His mighty
name—to Him of cross and triumph, to
Him who still remembers the prayer of the
Huguenots and Holland refugees and the
pilgrim fathers, to Him shall this land be
married. Oh, you Christian patriots, by
your contributions and your prayers,
hasten on the fulfillment of the text.
While some people may stand at the
gates of the city, saying, “Stay back!” to
foreign populations, I press out as far be¬
yond those gates as I can press out beyond
them aud beckon to foreign nations, say¬
ing, “Come, come, all ye people who are
honest and industrious and God loving!”
But say you, “I am so afraid that they
will bring their prejudices for foreign gov¬
ernments and plant them here.” Absurd,
They are siok of the governments that
have oppressed them and they want free
Amerieal Give them the great gospel of
welcome. Throw around them all Chris¬
tian hospitalities. They will add their in¬
dustry and hard earned wages to this
country, and then we will dedicate all
to Christ aud “thy iand-shall be married.”
But where shall the marriage altar be?
Let it he the Rooky Mountains, when,
through artificial and mighty irrigation,
all their tops shall be covered, orchards as they aud
will be, with vineyards and
gralnflelds. Then let the Bostons and the
New Yorks and the Charlestons of the
Pacific coast come to the marriage altar
on one side, and then let the Bostons and
the New Yorks and the Charlestons of
the Atlantic coast come to the marriage
altar on the other side, aud there be¬
tween them let this bride of nations kneel,
and ther if the organ of the loudest
thunders that ever shook the Sierra
Nevadas on the one side or moved the
foundations ot the AUeghauies on the
other side should open full diapason of
wedding march that organ of thunders
could not drown the voice of him who
would take the hand of this bride of nations,
saying, “As a bridegroom rejoiceth thee.” over At a
bride, so tby God rejoiceth the over platters shall
that marriage banquet and the chalices of
be of Nevada silver, northern
California gold and the fruits of
orchards, and the spices of southern
groves, and the tapestry of American manu¬
facture, and the congratulations from all
the free nations of earth and from all the
triumphant armies of heaven, “Aud so thy
land shall be married.”

Transaction Between Quest and Clerk.
Joe Walsh, night clerk, was a party
to a deal the other night which made
him $3 richer and which he if: still
studying about. It was getting along
toward the theatre hour when one of
the guests of the hotel came down
stairs with his valise, and, after pay¬
ing his bill, requested that the clerk
keep his valise until he came back J
from the show, as he was going out on i
a late train. He also pulled a $5 bill ;
out of his pocket and asked the clerk
to change it. Walsh looked in his cash
drawer, but found be did not bave it.
“Well,” said the guest, “just keep the
$5 for security and lend me a dollar.”
The clerk did so and the guest de- ,
parted. He came back about 11 o’clock
and, being in a hurry to eatch the
train, rushed up to the desk. He threw
down four silver dollars and the clerk
gave him the $5. It appeared all right, j
When the guest had gone Walsh looked
over his cash and found himself $3
ahead.
“Well,” said Walsh, after he had
puzzled his head for a while to see
how it happened, “that man needs a
bookkeeper. It was lucky for me he
didn’t make a mistake the other way.”

Our Brldgg Builders la Africa.
Between Khartoum and Alexandria
the Nile flows for 1,800 miles, and In
all that distance it receives only one
tributary, the Atbara, which comes
from the Abyssinian highlands. In
building the railroad from the Lower
Nile to Khartoum, hundreds of miles
along the right bank of the river, it is
necessary therefore to erect only one
bridge. This bridge will be an iron
and steel structure over a quarter of a
mile in length, and a Pennsylvania
firm of bridge-builders are now turning
out the material, which will be shipped
to Egypt and transported up the Nile
to the banks of the Atbara. The force
of Philadelphia artisans who will erect
the bridge have sailed for Egypt, and
hope to have the foundations ready for
the superstructure by the time It ur-
rives.
The British Government Is having
this bridge built In America because
there Is pressing need for It to obviate
considerable delay in the completion
of the railroad, and we can turn it out
more quickly than British builders
would agree to do. The prodigious
work of developing Africa will require
many bridges and a great deal of ma¬
chinery, and our builders and manu¬
facturers are perfectly able to com¬
pete successfully with the rest of the
world for the supply of many of these
products.—New York Sun.

j “Deab Mrs. Pinkham— I have many.
many thanks to give you for what your
Vegetable Compound has done for me.
After first confinement I was sick for
nine years with prolapsus of the womb,
had pain in left side, in small of back,
» great deal of headache, palpitation
i of heart and leucorrhcea. I felt so
j weak and tired that I could not do my
j work. I became pregnant again and
j took your Compound all through, and
now have » sweet baby girl. I never
before had such an easy time during
, I feel
labor, and it was due to Lydia
E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound. I
am now able to do my work and feel
better than I have for years. I cannot
thank yon enough.” — Mbs. E». Eh*

“ I have been taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, Blood
Purifier and Liver Pills and feel won¬
derfully strengthened. Before using
your remedies I was in a terrible state;
felt like fainting every little while. I
thought I must surely die. But now,
thanks to your remedies, those feel¬
ings are all gone.”— Mbs. Emu.ib
