REV. DR. TALMAGE THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN¬ DAY SERMON. Kiibjrrti “ The P.'aicue lof I.Ie».” Text: “Ye shall nol surely die.”—Genesis tii., 4. That was a point blank lie. Batan told il to Eve to induce her to put her semicircle ol white, beautiful teeth into a forbidden apricot or plum or poach or apple. He prac¬ tically said to her, “Oh, Eve, just take a bite of this and you will bo omnipotent and omniscient. You shall be as gods.” Just lie opposite was the told result, It was the it first opened that was ever in our world, the gate for all the falsehoods that have over alighted plague that on this planet. It introduced of u lies. covers all nations, the plague Far worse than the plagues of Nile, Egypt, but for they were on the banks of the this on the banks of the Hudson,on the banks of the East River, ou the banks of the Ohio, and the Mississippi, and the Thames, and the Rhine, and the Tiber, and on both sides of all rivers. The Egyptian For plagues lasted has only a few weeks, but six thousand yearn There raged this plague of lies. are a hundred ways of telling a lie. A man’s entire life may bo a falsehood, while with his lips he may not once directly falsify. There are those who state what is positively tie" Boftly. untrue, These departures but afterward from say the “may trutn are called “white lies;’’ iie. but there is really no such thing ns a white The whitest lio that was over told was as black as perdition. No inventory of public crirnoH will Iks sufficient that omits this gi¬ gantic abomination. There are men high in church and state actually useful, solf-denying and honest in many things, who, upon cer tain subjects and in certain spheres, nro not at nil to be dopondo 1 upon for veracity. In¬ deed, there are many men and women who have their notions of truthfulness so thor¬ oughly when they perverted that they do not know arc lying. With many it is a cul¬ tivated sin; with some if seems a natural in¬ firmity. been f have known people who seemed to have born liars. The falsehoods of their lives extended from cradle to grave. Prevarications, misrepresentation and dis * honesty ot aud speech appeared in their first ut¬ terances, their were as natural to them as any of infantile diseases, and were a sort of moral croup or spiritual scarlatina, But many have been placed in circumstance* where this tendency has day by day and hour by hour been called to larger develop¬ attijiinient ment. They and have gone class from attainment to from to class until they have become regularly graduated liars. The air of the oily is filled with falsehoods. They finest hang pendent from the chandeliers of our residences; they crowd the shelves of some our merchant princes; they fill the sidewalk from curbstone to brown stone facing; hammer, they cluster around the mechanic’s mul blossom from the end of the merchant’s yardstick, and sit in the doors of churches. Rome call them “fiction.” Borne style that them “fabrication.’’ You might say sion,,romance, they were subterfuge, disguised, delu¬ tion, misrepresentation, evasion, pretense, fable, decep¬ of anything but, as I am igno¬ rant to be gained by tbe hiding of a God defying outrage under a lexico¬ grapher’s blanket, 1 shall call them what my father taught me to call them—lies. I shall divide them into agricultural, mer¬ lien. cantile, mechanical, ecclesiastical, and social First, particularly then, I will speak of those t Tliero hat are •more something agricultural. of is in the perpetual presence natural objects to make a mail i mre. The trees never issue “false stock.” W heat, fields are always in the honest. night, Rye paying and oats never the more place out. not for they have occupied. Corn shocks never tnuKO false assignments. Mountain brooks ore always counterfeit. “eurront,” Theg.dd The on the grain is never sunrise never flaunts in false colors. The dew sports only genuine diamonds. Taking farmers us a class, I believe they are truthful aud fair in dealing and kind hear red. But alwkyi the regions surrounding our cities do not. send this sort of men to our markets. Day by about day there croak through our streets aud ; the market houses fans wagons that have not an honest spoke in t heir wheels or a truth iul rivet from tongue to tailboard. During the last few years there have has foun¬ been times when domestic economy dered on the farmer’s firkin. Neither high taxes, nor the high price of dry goods, nor the exorbit ancy of labor, could excuse much that the city has witnessed in the behavior of Westchester the yeomanry. and Orange By the quiet firesides I hope in Counties there may be seasons of deep reflection and hearty repentance. Rural districts are ac¬ customed to rail at great cities as • given up to fraud and every form of unrighteousness, the but our cities do not absorb all abomina¬ tions. Our citizeus have learned the import¬ ance of not always trusting to the size and stvle of apples in the top of a farmer’s bar¬ rel as an indication of what may bo found farther down. Many and of our how people correctly are ac¬ customed to witch see a bushel of beets is measured, mid there are not many honest milk cans. Deceptions do not all cluster round city halls. When our cities sit down and ween over their sins, all the surrounding I countries ought to come in and weep with them. There is often hostility on the part of 1 producers against traders, us though the I man who raises the corn was necessarily I more honorable than the grain dealer who pours it into his mammoth bin. There ought to be no such hostility. Yet producers of ten ' | think it no wrong to snatch away from the trader; * and they say to the bargain maker, j ‘Yougctvour money easy.” „ Do T . they .. get . , Iteasy.

Easy! Is it? God help the merchants! It is hard to have the palms of the hands blistered with outdoor work, but a more dreadful process when consumed. through mercantile anxieties the brain is In the next place we notice mercantile lies, those before the counter and behind tbe counter. different forms I will not of attempt commercial to specify falsehood. tbe There are merchant* who excuse themselves for deviation from truthfulness because of what they call commercial custom. Iu other worda the multiplication aud universality of a an turns it iuto a virtue. There have large fortunes gathered where there dropof unrequited 1^ toil flashing iu the e spark bracket; of temper Sue dr»poi ^ woni» not plush, u£h* while then are oS other ^LteS great establish- 1 ments in which there is not one door knob not one brick, not one trinket, not one thread of lace but has upou it the mark of dishonor. What wonder if, some day, a hand of toil that had been wrung and worn out and blis¬ tered until the skin came off should beplaced against the elegant wall paper, leaving its mark of blood—four fingers and a thumb— or that some day, walking the halls, there should be a voice accosting the occupant, and, saying, “.Mx cents for making a shirt, ’ flying the room, another voice siould say, “Twelve cents for an army blanket, ’ and the man should try to sleep at night, hut ever and anon be aroused, until getting up on one elbow, he should shriek out, “\Vho« there? 1 ’ One Sabbath night,, in the vestibule of my church after service, a woman fell in convul pious. The doctor said she needed medicine not so much as something to eat. As she began to revive in her delirium, she said, gaspingly: “Eight cents! Plight cents! lam Eight cents! I wish 1 could get it done; so tired! I wish I could get some sleep, but I must get it done! Eight cents! Eight cents!” We found out afterward she was making garments for eight cents apiece, and that she could make but three of them in a day! Three times eight are twenty-four! Hear it,-men and women who have comfortable homes! Borne of the worst villains of the city are the employers of these women. They beat them down to the lust penny, and try to cheat them out of that. The woman must deposit a dollar or two before she gets the ga rments to work on. W hen the work is done it is sharply inspected, the most insignificant aud flaws picked out, and the waires refused, sometimes the dollar deposited not given back. The Women’s Protective Union re¬ ports a case where one of these poor souls, finding a place where she could get more wages, resolved to change employers, and went to get her pay for work done. The employer says, “1 hear you are going to leave me.” “Yes,” she said, “and I am come to get what you owe me.” He made no answer. Bho said, “Are you not going you;” to pay mo?” “Yes,” hesaid, “1 stairs. will pay and ho kicked her down the There are thousands of fortunes made in commercial spheres that are throughout righteous. God will let His favor rest upon every scroll, every pictured wall, flashes every tracerled window, and the joy that from the lights, and showers from the music anil dances in the children’s quick feet, the pat¬ tering through the hall, will utter con¬ gratulation of inon and the approval of God. A merchant can, to the last item, be thor oughly honest. There is never any need of falsehood. Yet how many will, day by day, hour by hour, utter what they know to be wrong. You say that you are selling at less th an cost. If so, then it is right to say it. But did that cost you less than what you ask for it? If not, then you have falsified. You say that that article cost you right. twenty-five If it dollars. Did it? If so, then all did not, then you have falsified. Suppose you are a purchaser. You are “beating down” the goods. You say that that article for which five dollars is charged is not worth more than four. Is it worth no Hh™worth more than four dollars? Then all right. If more, and for the sake or getting it for less than its value, you willfully de predate it, you have falsified, You may call it a * sharp 1 trade. The recording " angel writes . it down , on the ponderous tomes of eternity, Mr. Eighth So-and-so, merchant State on H atei street or in street or in street, or Mrs. So-and-so, keeping house on Beacon street or on Madison avenue or Rittenhousa fequaro Hill, or Brooklyn falsehood. Heights or Brooklyn told one \ on may consider M insignificant because relating to an insignificant purchase. You would despise the man who would falsify in regard to some great matter iu which the city or whole' coun try was concerned; but tmsis only a box of buttons, or a row of pins, or a case of noodles. Be not deceived. 1 he article pur chased may bo so small you can put it iu your vest pocket, but the sin was bigger thdn the Pyramids, and the through echo of all the dis honor will reverberate the mountains of eternity. You throw on your counter some specimens of handkerchiefs. ’ Your customer asks: Is that all silk? No cotton in m? \ou nnswer, It is all silk. \yas it all silk. If so, all right. But was it partly cotton? Then you have falsified. Moreover, you lost by the falsehood. The customer, though lie may live at Lynu or Doylestowu or Poughkeepsie, will find out that you have de frauded him, and next spring when he again comes shopping he will look at your sign and say: 4 ‘1 will not try there! lhat is the place where 1 got that handkerchief.” So that by that one dishonest bargain you pick your own pocket and insulted the Almighty. . Would you dare to make an estimate of how many falsehoods in trade were yester day told by hardware men and clothiers and fruit dealers and dry jewelers goods establishments and importers and and lumbermen and coal merchants and stationers and tobacconists? Lies about saddles, about buckles, about ribbons, about carpets, about gloves, about coats, about, shoes, about huts, about watches, about carriages, about books—about overythiug. In the name of the Lord God Almighty, 1 arraign com mercial falsehoods as oue of the greatest plagues in city and town. In the next place 1 notice mechanical lies, There is no class of men who administer more to the welfare of tbe city than artisans, building To their hand wemust look for the that sholters us, for the garments that clothe us, for the car that carries us. They wield a widespread influence. There is much dem lonofwhatis called Muscular Christian lty,” but in the latter day Christian of the worlds will be prosperity I think that the muscular. We have a right to expect of those stalwart men of toil the highest possi hie integrity. Many of them answer all our expectations, £ and stand at the front of relig io Wld philanthropic enterprises. But this class, like the others that I have named, ^ ^ th 0Se w ho lack ia the element of vera0 5 ty. They cannot all be trusted. Iu times when the demand for labor is great it is impossible to meet the demands of the public, or do work with that promptness and perfection that would at other times be possible. But mechanics whose word there are can- ; no t be trusted at any time. No man has a to promise more wars than he can do. There are mechanics who say that they will eotnt , ou Monday, butthey do not come until Wednesday. You put work iu their hands that they tell you shall be completed iu ten davSi bu t it is thirty.

Then, before God and man you are a liar. You may say that it makes no particular told the difference, and that if you had truth you would have lost the job. and that people expect to be disappointed, but the ex¬ cuse will not answer. There is a voice of thunder rolling among the drills and planes “A11 and shoe lasts and shears which says, liars shall have their part in the lake that burnetb with fire and brimstone.” foliC-hcods 1 next notice ecclesiastical lies—that of advaucjfig is, told for the purpose churches and sects, or for the purpose de¬ pleting them. There is no it" Hi Liking many a Calvanist what an Arminian be¬ lieves, for he will be apt to tell you that the Arminian believes that a man can convert himself; or to ask the Arminian what the Calvinist believes, for he will tell you that the Calvinist believes that God made some men just to damn them, There is no need in asking a paarlo-Baptist what a Baptist the be¬ lieves, for he will be apt to say that Baptist believes immersion to be almost positively necessary to salvation. It is im¬ possible for one denomination of Christians, without prejudice or misrepresentation, to If state the sentiment of an opposing sect. a roan hates Presbyterians, and you ask him what Presbyterians believe, he will tell you that they believe that there are in farts in hell a span long. It is strange also how individual churches will sometimes make misstatements about other individual churches. It is especially so in regard to falsehoods told with reference to prosperous enterprises. As long as a church is feeble, and the singing is discord¬ ant, and the minister, through the poverty of the church, must go with a threadbare coat, and here and there a worshiper sits in the end of a pew, having all the seat to himself, religious sympathizers of other churches will say, “What a pity!” But let a great day of prosperity come, and even ministers of the gospel, who ought to be rejoiced denounce at the large¬ ness and extent of the work, and misrepresent and falsify, starting the suspic¬ ion in regard to themselves that the reason they do not like the corn is because it is not ground in their own mill. How long before we shall learn to be fair in our religious earth criti¬ cisms ! The keenest jealousies on are church jealousies. The field of Christian work is so large that there is no need that our hoe handles hit. Next I speak of social lies. This evil makes much of believe. society insincere. When You ask know not what to people you to come you do not know whether or not they want you to come. When they send their regards you do not know whether it is an ex pressionof lty. We have their learned heart or to take an external almost civil every¬ thing at a discount. Word is sent “Not at home,” when they are only too lazy to dress themselves. They say, “The furnace has just gone out,” when in truth they have had no fire in it all winter. They apologize for the unusual barrenness of their table when they never live any better. They decry their »* ost luxurious entertainments to wm a shower ot approval I 1 hey apologize for their appearance; always as though they it look were unusual, when They at home just so. beIl ^ e tlia J ™ sketch ou the wall was the work of a master painter, “It was an heirloom, and once Imngon the walls of a castle, and a duke gave it to their graudfather.” When the fact is that painting baked was made by a man “down east,” and so as to make it look old, and sold with others for ten dol¬ j arg a dozen. People lie who will lie about nothing income else will about a picture. world On a gma n we must make the be lieve that we are affluent, and our life be comes a cheat, a counterfeit and a sham, Pew persons are really natural.

From many circles in life insincerity has driven ou t vivacity and enthusiasm. A frozen dig u (ty instead floats about the room, and iee Berg grinds against iceberg.

From sue h a hollow round the tortured guest re¬ tires at the close of the evening and assures his host that he has enjoyed himself. oeople What a round of insincerity many rua i a order to win the favor of the world! Their life is a sham and their death an uu spoakable sadness, Alas for the poor butter flies when the frost strikes them! Compare the life and death of such a one with that of some Christian aunt who was once a blessing to your household. I do not know that she w#s eyer offered the hand in marriage. Bhe lived single, that untram mcledshemight.be everybody’s blessing, Whenever the sick were to be visits i, or the poor to be provided with bread, she went with a blessing. She could pray, or sing “Rock of Ages" for any sich .pauper who asked her. As she got older there were days when she was a little sharp, but for the most part auutie was a sunbeam—just the one fpr Christmas eve. She knew better than any one else how to fix things. Her every prayer, as God heard it, was full of everybody who had trouble. The brightest things in all the house dropped from her fingers. She had peculiar notions, but the grandest notion she ever had was to make you happy. She dressed well—auutie always dressed well; but her highest adornment was that of a nieek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price. A\ hen she died you r .U gathered lovingly about her, and as you carried her out to rest the buuday-sehool class almost covered the cofhn with japom cas> aUi ] the poor people stood at the end of the alley, with their aprons to their eyes, so bbing bitterly; and the man of the world said, with Solomon, “Her price was above rubies,” and Jesus, as unto the maiden iu Judea commanded, “Isay unto thee, arise!” But to many, through insincerity, this life is a masquerade bail. As at suchen tertaimnents gentlemen and ladies appear j a the dress of kings or queens, mountain bandits or clowns, and at the close of the dance throw off their disguises, so in this dissipated life all unclean passions move in mask.
