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.

I 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 [received Ivided among $5000 the each, lobby while agents. $50,000 That were thing di- Ion [going a larger or smaller scale Is all the time I on in some of the States in the Union, I but it is not so blundering us it used to be, I and therefore not so easily exposed or ar- rested.

If I take from you your property without any adequate compensa¬ railway tion, I am a thief, aud if a damages the property of the compensation, people wlth- ■ out making any adequate What is ■that [a is a gigantic theft. wrong on small scale is wrong on a large seale. 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.” • Correct. has Mamma—Bessie, how many sisters your schoolmate?

A writer in Cornhill gives some humorous notes of English school ex¬ aminations. Apparently national characteristics come out as vividly as individual ones, at these encounters bet ween the learned and the unlearned. One day, an examiner was listening to a class of Irish boys, in London, as they repeated Macaulay’s “Horatius. : “Would three soldiers, nowadays, i he asked, “be likely to hold a bridge agaiust a whole army?” “No, sir,” the boys answered. “Would three Englishmen, for ex¬ ample?” he continued. “No, sir,” said the class. “Would three Scotchmen?” They again dissented. “Would three Irishmen?” “Please, sir,” shouted an excitable little fellow, “one Irishman would do it!” J) ^ Wi B THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup C o. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.

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.

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.
