DR.TALM AGE’S SERMON
The Eminent Divine’s Sunday
Discourse.
{Subject; Tlie Responsibility of Those Who
Aro Well anil Strong—Physical Enemy
Not Indicative ol Spiritual Power-
Fight the Battles of the Weak.
[Copyright 1900.1
Washinoton, D. 0.—In this discourse Dr.
Talmago sets forth the responsibility ot
thoso who are strong and well, as In a
former discourse he preaohod to tho dis¬
abled and “the shut in,” text, Judges xiv.,
1, “And Samson went down to Tlmuath.”
There aro two sides to the character ot
Samson. The one phase of his life, if fol¬
lowed Into the particulars, would adminis¬
ter to the grotesque and the mirthful, hut
there Is a phase of his character fraught
with lessons of solomn aud eternal import.
To those graver lessons wo devote our
sermon.
This giant no doubt in early life gave
evidences of what he was to be. It Is al¬
most always so. There were two Napoleons
—the hoy Napoleon nnd the man Napoleon
—hut both alike; two Howards—the boy
Howard nnd the man Howard—but both
alike; two Samsons—the boy Samson and
the man Samson—but both alike, This
giant was no doubt the hero of the play¬
ground, and nothing could stand before
Ills exhibition of youthful prowess. At
eighteen years of age lie was betrothed to
tho daughter of a Philistine. Going down
toward Timnath, a lion came out upon
him, nnd, although this young giant was the
weaponless, he seized the monster by
long mane and shook him as a hungry
hound shakes a March liare nnd made his
bones crack nnd left him by the wayside
bleeding under the smiting of his list and
the grinding heft of his heel.
There he stands, looming up nbovo othor
men, a mountain of flesh, his arms bunched
with musclethat can lift the gate of a city,
taking an attitude defiant of everything.
His hair had nover been out, nnd It rolled
down soven great plaits over his shoul¬
ders, nddfngto his bulk fierceness nnd tor-
ror. The Philistines want to oonquor him,
and therefore they must find out where
the secret ot his strength lies.
There is an evil woman living in the val¬
ley of Sorok by the name of Delilah. They
appoint her the agent in the case. The
Philistines nre seoretedun the same build¬
ing, aud then Delilah goes to work and
coaxes Samson to tell what is tho secret of
his strength. “Well,” he says, “if you take
seven green withes such ns they fasten
wild beasts with and put them around me
I should bo porfectly powerless.” withes. So
* she binds him with the seven green
Then she claps her hands and says, “ They
come—the Philistines!” aud he walks out
as though there were no impediment, She
■coaxes him again and says, “Now, tell mo
the secret of this great strengtn.” And he
replies, “If you should take some ropes that
have nover been used, and tie me with them
I should bo just like other men.” She ties
him with ropes, clnps her hands and shouts,
■“They come—the Phlllstinesl” He walks
out as easily as he did before—not a .ingle
obstruction. She coaxes him again, aud
he says, “Now, if you should take these
seven long plaits of hair and hy this houso
loom weave them Into a web, I eou d not
gat away.” So the house loom is rolled
up, and the shuttle flies backward a id for¬
ward, and the long plaits of hair are woven
into a web. Then she claps her hands and
says, “They come—tlie Philistines!” He
walks out as easily as he did beforo, drag¬
ging a part of the loom with him.
But nfter awhile she persuades him to
tel! the truth. He says, “If you should
take a razor or shears and cut off this long
hair, I should he powerless and in tho
hands of my enemies.” Samson sleeps, and
that she may not wake him up dur¬
ing the process of shearing, help
IS called in. You know that the barbers
•ol the East have such a skillful way
of manipulating the head to this very day
that, instead of waking up a sleeping man,
they will put a man wide awake sound
asleep. I hear the blades of the shears
grinding against each other, and I see tho
long locks falling off. The shears or ruzor
accomplishes what green withes nnd new
ropes and house loom could not do. Sud¬
denly she clnps her hands aud says, "The
Philistines be upon thee, Samson!” He
rouses up with a struggle, the but his strength
is all gone. He is in bands of bis en¬
emies.
I hear the groan of tho giant as they
take his eyos out, nnd then I see him stag¬
gering on in his blindness, feoling his wuy
as he goes on toward Gaza. The prison
door is open, and the giant is thrust iu.
He sits down nnd puts his hands ou the
mill crank, which, with exhausting hori-
aoutal motion, goes day after day, week
after week, month after month—work,
work, work! The consternation of the
world in captivity, his locks shorn, his
eyes punctured, grinding corn in Gaza!
First of all, behold In this giant of the
text that pbysionl power He is not always huge an
Index ot moral power. was a man
—the lion found it out and the 3000 men
whom he slew found it out; yet he was the
subject of petty revenges aud outgianted
by low passion. I ain far from throwing
any discredit upon physical stamina.
There are those who seem to have great
admiration for delienoy nnd sickness of
constitution. I never could see any glory
in weak nerves or sick headache. What¬
ever effort in our day is made to make the
men and women more robust should have
the favor of every good citizen as woll as
of every Christian. Gymnastios may be
positively Good religious. sometimes ascribe to
people what ought ascribe a
Wicked heart they to
to a slow liver. The body and soul are
such near neighbors that they ofton catch
each other’s diseases. Those who never
saw a sick day and who, like Hercules,
show the giant in the cradlo have more to
answer for than those who are the sub¬
jects of lifelong infirmities. He who can
lift twice as much ns you cau aud walk
twice as far and work twice as long will
have a double account to meet in tho judg¬
ment.
How often It Is that you do not find
physical energy Indicative of spiritual
power! If a clear head Is worth more than
one dizzy with perpetual vertigo, if muscles
With the play ot health In them are worth
more than those drawn up in chronic
"rheumatics,” if au eye quick to catch
passing dim objects Is better than one with
vision und uncertain, then God will
require of us efficiency just In proportion
to what He has given as. Physical energy
ought to be a type of moral power. Wo
ought to have ns good digestion of trr.tb ns
wo have capacity to assimilate food. Our
spiritual hearing ought to be as good as
our physical hearing. Our spiritual taste
ought to be as dear as our tongue. Sam¬
sons in body, wa ought to he giants in moral
power. But while find
you a great many men who
realize that they ought to use their money
aright and use their Intelligence aright,
how few men yon find aware of the fact
that they ought to use their physioal or¬
ganism urlghtl With every thump of the
heart there is something saying: “Work!
WorkI” And lest we should complain that
we have no tools to work with with, God gives
ns our hands and feet, every knuckle
«u4 with erery joint and wlthevery muscle
saying to us,“Lay bold and do something.”
But how often it is thut men with physi¬
cal strength do not serve Christ! Thev are
like a ship full manned und fully rigged,
capable of weather," vast tonnage, able to endure all
stress of yet swinging idly at the
docks when these men ought to he crossing
and recrossing the great ocean of human
suffering and sin with God’s supplies of
mercy. How often it is thut physical
strength is used In doing positive damage
or in luxurious ease, when, with sleeves
rolled up and bronzed bosom, fearless ot
the sh rts of opposition, It ought to be
laying hold with all Us might and tugging
away to Wt up this sunken wreck of a
World.
It is a roost shameful fact that much of
tho business of the ohuroh and of the world
must be done by those comparatively of Ills Inva¬ ills-

gigantic in strength, mis¬
chief, nnd a typo of those men in all ages
of the world who, powerful in body or mind
or any faculty of social position or wealth,

purposes. It not tho small, weak of the day
Is men
who do tho damage. These small men who
go swearing and loafing about your stores
and shops and banking housos, assailing
Christ and the Bible and tho church—they
do not do the damage. They have no in¬
fluence. They are vermin that you crush
with your foot. But It is the giants of the
day, tho misguided giants, gluuts in phys¬
ical power, or giants In mental acumen,
or wealth, glnnts In social position, or gluuts
In who do the damage. The
men with sharp pens that stab re¬
ligion and throw poison all through
our literature, tho men who use the power
of wealth to sanction iniquity and bribe
justice and make truth and honor how to
their golden scepter. Misguided giants—
look out for thorn! In the middle and lat¬
ter part of the last century uo doubt there
were thousands of men in Paris and Edin¬
burgh and London who lmted God and
blasphemed tho name of the Almighty, but
they did but little mischief—they were
small men, insignificant men. Yet there
were giants in those days. Who can cal¬
culate the soul havoc of a Rousseau, go¬
ing on with a very enthusiasm of in¬
iquity, nil with fiery imagination seizing
upon the Impulsive natures of his
day? Or David Hume, who employed
his life as a spider employs Its sum¬
mer, in spinning out si.ken webs to trap
the unwary? Or Yoltuire, the most learned
man of his dny, marshaling a great host of
skeptics and leading them out hi the dark
land of infidelity? Or Gibbou, who showed
au uncontrollable grudge against religion
in his history of ono of the most fascinat¬
ing periods and of Pall the of world’s the Roman existence—the Empire”
“Decline
—u book in which, with all the splendors
of his genius, he magnified tho errors of
Christian disciples, while with a sparse¬
ness of notice that never can be forgiven
he treated of the Christian heroes of whom
the world was not worthy?
Oh, men of stout physical health, men of
great mental stature, men of high social
position, men understand of great power of any sort, I
want you to your power and I
want you to know that that power devoted
to God will be a crown on earth, to you
typical of a crown in heaven, hut misguid¬
ed, bedraggled in sin, administrative of
evil, God will thunder against you with His
condemnation in tho day when millionaire
and pauper, master and slave, king and
subject shall stand side by side In thejudg-
men and money bags and judicial crime
and royal robe shall be riven .with tho
lightnings.
Behold also how a giant may be slain of
a woman. Delilah started the train of cir¬
cumstances thut pulled down the temple of
Dagou about Samson’s ears. Aud tens of
thousands of giants have gone down to
death nnd hell through the same fascina¬
tions, It seems to me that it is high time
thut pulpit speak nnd platform nnd printing
press out against the Impurities of
noderu society. Fastidiousness aud prud¬
ery say, “Better not speak; you will rouse
up adverse criticism; you will make worse
what you want to make better; better deal
in glittering generalities; the subject Is too
delicate for polite ears.” But there comes
a voice from heaven overpowering the
minciDg sentimentalities of the day, say¬
ing, “Cry uloud,"spare not, lift up thy voice
like a trumpet, and show My people their
transgressions and the house of Jacob their
sins.”
The trouble is that when people write or
speak upon this theme they are apt to cover
it up with the graces of belles lettres, so
that tho crime is made attractive instead
of repulsive. Lord Byron, in Don Juan,
adorns this crime until It smiles like a May
queen. Michelet, the great French writer,
covers it up with bewitching rhetoric until
It glows like the rising sun, when It ought
to be mnds loathsome ns a smallpox hos¬
pital. There are to-day Influences abroad
which, If unresisted by the pulpit and the
printiug press, will turn our modern cities
iuto Sodoms and Gomorrahs, lit only for
the storm of Are and brimstone that
whelmed the cities of the plain.
If, then, w« nre to be compelled to go
out of the world, where are we to go What to?
This body and soul must soon part.
shall be the destiny of the former I know-
dust to dust. But what shall be the der-
tiny of the latter? Shall it rise iuto the
companionship of the white robbed, whoso
sins Christ has slain, or will it go down
among the unbelieving, who tried to gain
the world and save their souls, hut woro
swindled out of both? Blessed be Godl
We have a Champion! He is so styled in
the Bible: A Champion whe lins conquered
death and hell, and He Is ready to fight all
our battles from the first to tho last.
“Who Is this that cometh up from Edom
with dyed garments from Bozrah, mighty
to save?”
In the light of this subjeot which I want to call
your attention to a fact may not
have been rightly considered, and that Is
the fact that we must be brought Into
judgment for the employment of our physi¬
cal organism. Shoulder, bralu, baud, foot
—we must answer in judgment for they the been use
we have made of them. Have
used for the elevation of society or for Its
depression? In proportion as our arm is
strong nnd our step elastic will our account
at last be intensifled. Thousands of ser¬
mons ure preached to invalids. I preach
this sermon to stout men and healthful
women. We must give to God an aecount
for the right use of this comparatively physical organism.
These Invalids have little to
account for perhaps. They could not lift
twenty pounds. They could not walk half
a mllowithout sitting down to rest. Yet
how much many of them accomplished!

The Creed of the “Wanderers."
It Is a part of the creed of the “Wan¬
derers,” a Russian sect, that Antichrist
rules in high places there, and that,
accordingly, good men must have
naught to do with governmental af¬
fairs of any sort. Iu conformity with
this belief, a man murdered, In various
Ingenious ways, twenty-five men, wo-
men, and children, Including Ills own
wife and babes, In order to free them
from the danger of losing their souls
by suffering the contaminating con¬
tact of the government censustaker.
This occurred in 1807. The "Deniers,”
another quite Interesting Russian sect,
believe that evil taints all earthly
good, and that the only escape Is death.
In 1825 sixty of these men, strong In
the faith, after having murdered their
wives and children, permitted them¬
selves to he put to death, oue by one,
