REV. DR. TALMAGE. TUB NOTED DIVINE'S SUNDAY DISCOURSE. Subject: “The Dying Century.** Tkxt: “Thus salth tho Lord. Set thino house in order, for thou shall die and not live,”—II Kings xx., 1. No alarm boll do I ring in tho utterance of this text, for in tho healthy glow of your co'ontenancos I And cause only for cheerful prophecy, the but I shall Hezekiah, apply down the text with as spoken in ear of a bad oarbunole, to the nineteenth oentury, now closing. It will take only four more the long breaths, eaoh yoar a breath, and century will expire. My theme is “The Dy¬ ing Century.” I discuss it at an)bour when our National Legislature is about to assemble, some of the members now here present and others soon toarrive from tho North, South, East and West AU tho public conveyances coming this way will bring important addi¬ tions of public men, so that when on Decem¬ ber 7, at high noon, tho gavels of Senate and House of Representatives shall lift and fall the destinies of this Nation, and through It tbe destinies of all Nations struggling to be free, will be put on solemn and tremendous trial. I Amid such Intensifying circumstances and stand by tho venerable century address it In tho words of my toxt, “Thus salth the Lord, Het thine house in order, for thou ehatt die and not live." Eternity Is too big a subject for ns to understand. Some one has said It Is a great clock that says “Tick" In one cen¬ tury and “Taok” In another. But we can better understand old time, who has many children—and they are tho centuries—and many grandchildren—and they are tho yoare. With the dying nineteenth century wo shall this morning have a plain talk, telling him some of tho good things he has things done, and then tolling him some of the ho ought to adjust before ho quits this sphere and passes out to join tho eternities. Wo generally wait until people are doad before wo say much In prulsa of them. Funeral oulogium is generally very ought pathetic and eloquent with things that to have been said years before. Wo put on cold tombstones ifhat we ought to lmve put In tho warm ears of the living. Wo curse Charles Sumner while he is liv¬ ing and cudgol him Into spinal meningitis and been wait living until, tho loot In tho rooms he where his I hand have year, puts on his heart and orles “Oh!" and la gone, and then wo make long procession in his honor.

What a pity that out of tho groat choirs who chauted at his obsequies ono lit¬ tle girl dreasod in whito might not have sung to his living ear a complimentary solol The postmorten expression contradicted the ante¬ mortem. Tho Nation could not havo spoken the truth both times about Charles Sumuer. Was it before or after his decease it lied? No suoh injustice shall bo inflicted upon this venerable nineteenth century. Before he goes wo recite in his hearing some of the good things ho boa accomplished. What nn addition to the world’s Intelligence he has made! Look at tho old schoolhouse, with tho snow sifting through the roof and pail tho filthy tin cup hanging over tjhe water iu the corner, and the little victims on illiterate the long schoolmaster benches without bncks, and tho with his hiokory gad. and then look at our modern palaces of froo schools under men and womon cul¬ tured and roflned to tho highest excellence, so that whereas In our childhood wo had to bo whipped to go to school, children now cry when they cannot go. Thank you, venerable centuryt while at the samo time wo thank God! What an Jiddltiou to the world’s inventions—within our century tho cotton planting, gin, tho agricultural thrashing; machines the for reaping aud tele¬ graph; the phonograph, capable of pre¬ serving a human voice from generation to generation; the typewriter, that rescuos the world from worse and worse penmanship, and the swiftest stenography, speaker capturing than irom 200 the words Ups of more u minuto!

The money power, so much denounced and often justly criticised, has covered this continent with universities and free librar¬ ies and asylum of mercy. The newspaper press, which at the beginning of the cen tury was an ink roller, by hand moved over one sheet of paper at a time, has b ecome the miraculous manufacturer of four or five oi six hundred thousand sheets for one daily newspaper’s issue. Within your memory. 0 dying cemury, has been the genesis oi nearly all ibe great institutions evangel¬ istic. At London tavern, March 7, 1802, British and Foreign Bible society was bom. In icio American Lime society was Dorn. In 1824 American Sunday-school union was bom. In 1810 American board of commissioners for foreign missions, which has put its saving hand on every Nation of the round earth, was born at a haystack in Massachusetts. The National Temperance sooiety, the Woman’s Temperance society, and all the other temperance movements were born in this century. Africa, hidden to other oenturies, by exploration in this cen¬ tury’ has been put at the feet of civilization to be ocouoiea by eommreee and Christian¬ ity. The Chinese wall, once an impassable and barrier, now is a useless pile of the stone opening brick.

I thank God for this great opportunity. Glorious until old oentury! You to snail not be entombed we have, face face, extolled you. You were rocked in a rough cradle, and the inheritance you re¬ ceived was, for the most part, poverty and struggle and hardship, ana poorly covered graves of heroes and heroines of whom the world had not been worthy, and atheism and military despotism, and tne wreck of the French revolution. You inherited the influ¬ ences tnaf resulted In Aaron Burr’s treason, and another war with Engl ana, and battk of Lake Erie, and Indian savagery, and Luadv'e Lane, and Dartmoor massacre, and dlssention, bitter and wild beyond measure¬ ment, and African slavery, which was yet to cost a National hemorrhage of four awful years and a million precious lives. Yes, dear old century’, you had an awful start, aud you have done more than well, considering your parentage and your early environment. It is a wonder you did not turn out to bo the vagabond oentury of all time. Yon han a bad mother ana a bad grandmother. Some of the preceding cen¬ turies wore not fl; to live in—their morals wore so bad, their fashions were so outrage¬ their in ous, their ignorance was so dense, humanityso terrific. Oh, dying nineteenth century, before you go we take this oppor¬ tunity of telling you thot you are the best and the mightiest of all the centuries of tho Christian era except the flrst, whioh gave us tho Christ, and you rival that oentury in the fact that you more than all the other centur¬ ies put together are giving tho Christ to all tho world. Ouo hundred and twelve thousand dollars, at one meeting a few days ago con¬ tributed for the world’s evangelization. Look at what you have done, O thou abused and depreciated century. All the Pacific isles, barred and bolted against tho gospel when you began to reign, now all open, and some of them more Christianized than America. No more, as once written over the ohuroh doors in Cape Colony, “Dogs and Hottentots not ad¬ mitted.” The late Mr. Darwin contributing $25 to tho Southern Missionary Sooiety. earth. Can¬ nibalism driven off the f»oe of the The gates of all Nations wide open for the gospel entrance when tho ohuroh shall give up its Intellectual dandyism, and quit fooling with higher criticism, and plunge Into tho work, as at a life saving station the orew puu out with tho lifeboat to take the sailors off a ship going to pieces in tho Skerries. I thank you, old and d$ng century. All heaven thanks you, aud 6urely all the Nations of the earth ought to thank you. I put before your eyes, tremendous. soon to be dim I for tne last wrinkled sleep, the old facts take your hand and shako it in congratulation. I bathe your fevered brow and freshen your p arched lips from tho fountains of eternal vict ory. But my text suggests that there are some things that this coutury ought to do before ho loaves us. “Thus salth the Lord, “Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live." We ought not to let this century go before two or tbreethlugaareset in order. For one thing tnls quarrel between labor inherited and capital. Tho nineteenth century It from the eighteenth century, but do not lot this nineteenth oentury bequeath It to the twentieth. “What we want, says labor, “to set us right is more strikes and more vig¬ orous work with torch and dynamite.” “What we want.” says capital, “Is a tighter grip on tho working classes and compulsion to take what wagee we choose to pay, with¬ out reference to their needs.” Both wrong as sin. Both defiant. Until the day of iudg ment no settlement of the quarrelityouieave American politics. it to British, Russian or The religion of Jesus Christ ought to come in within the next four years aud take tbe hand of capital and employe and say: “You have tried everything else and failed. Now try the gospel of kindness." No more op¬ f pression and no more strikes. The gospel of esus Christ will sweeten this aoer bity, or i. will go on to the end of time, and the fires that bum tho world up will crackle in the ears of wrathful prosperity and indignant toil while their hands are still clutching at each other’s throats, Before this century sighs its lost breath (would that swarthy labor the and easy opulence would ocme up and let Carpen¬ ter of Nazareth loin thslr hands in pledge of everlasting kindness and peace. When men and women are dying they axe apt to divide among their children mementos, and one is given a watch, and another a vase, and another a picture, and another a rope. Lei this veteran century before it dies hand over to the human race, with au impressiveness that shall last forever, that old family keep¬ sake, the solden keepsake which nearly 1900 years ago was handed down from the black rock of the mouut of beatitudes, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you. do ye even so to them, for for this is the taw and the needs prophets.” be Another thing that to set tr order before tha veteran century quits us is a more thorough and all embracing plan for the world’s gardentzation. We have eeen trying to save the world from the top. and it cannot be done that way. It has got to be saved from tho bottom. The church ought to be only a West Point to drill soldiers for outside battle. What if a ratlitiary academy should keep its students from age to age in tbe mess room and the barracks? No, no! They are wanted at Montezuma and Chapultepec and South Mountain and Missionary Rldae, and the church is no pines for a Christian to stay very long, lie is wanted at the front. He is needed in the desperate obnrge of taking the parapets. The last great battle for God is not to be fought ou the campus of a college or the lawn oi a church. It is to be fought at Mission ary Ridge, Before this oentury quits us let us establish the habit of giving the forenoon of the Sab¬ bath to the churches and the afternoon and the evening of the Sabbath to gospel work in the halls and theaters and streets and fields and slums, and wildernesses of sin and sorrow. Why do Christians who have stuffed themselves with “the strong meat of the word” and all gospel viands on Sabbath forenoons want to come up to a second ser¬ vice and stuff themselves again? These old gormandizers at the gospel feast need to get into outdoor work with the outdoor gospe' that was preached on the banks of the Jor¬ dan, and on the fishing smacks of Lake Gali¬ lee, and In the bleak air of Assyrian moun¬ tains. I am told that throughout all our Am srican cities the second Sabbath service in the majority of churches is sparsely, yea, disgracefully attended, and is the distress or the consecrated and eloquent pastors who bring their learning and piety before pews ghastly for their inoccupancy. What is the providential meaning? The greatest of all evangelists since Bible times recently sug¬ gested that the evening services in all the churches bo turned into the moat outsiders. popular style of evangelistic meetings for Surely that is an experiment worth making. If that does not succeed, then it does seem to me all the churches which cannot secure sufficient evening audiences ought to shut up their buildings at night and go where the people are and invite them to come to th( gobpel banquet. Let the Christian souls bountifully fed ii the morning go forth in the afternoon inf evening to teed the rnaltlfuaes of outsiders starving for the bread of which if a man eat he shall never again hunger. Among those clear down the gospel would make more rapid conquest than among those who know so much and have so much that God can* not teach or help them. In those lower depths are splendid, fellows in the rough, like the shoeblack a reporter saw near New York City Hall He asked a boy to black his boots. The boy came up to his work provokingly slow and had just begun when a large boy shoved him aside and Began the work, and the reporter reproved him as be¬ ing a bully, and tne bdy replied: “Oh, that’s all right. I am going to do it for ’im. You see he’s been siek in the hospital more’n a month, so us boys turn in and give ’1m a lift." “Do all the boys help him?" asked the reporter. “Yes, sir. When they ain’t got no job themselves and Jim gets one they turn in and help ’im, for he ain’t strong yet, you sao.’’ “How much percentage does ho (five you?” said the reporter. The boy re nlied- “I don’t keep none of it. 1 ain’t no anc.au as mat all the boys give up what they sneaking git on his job. I'd boy, like I to would. catch ” any feller on a sick The reporter gave him a twenty-five cent piece yourself and and said, give “You the keep Jim.’’ ten cents “Can't for rest to do it, sir. It’s bis customer. Here, Jim.” Such big souls as that strew all the lower depths of the cities, bo and, get lost them converted to the God, world’s this wonld sin aud the little full century work of of but evangelization Before would bo loft for the next century. this century expires let there be a combined effort to save the groat ctti<“- •* America an :1 Great Britain and ah o..ristondom. What an awfui thing ic would be for you! 0 dying century, to bequoath and to unsoarred the com¬ ing century, as yot innocent burdened single with a single sin or with a sorrow, the blasphemy, the lawlessness, the atheism, the profligacy and the woes of great cities still unevangelized. What we ought to see, O dying century, is a revival of religion that would wrap the continents in conflagra¬ tions of religious awakening, and that would make legislation aud merchandise and all styles of worldly business wait awhile at the telegraph offices and the telephone offices because they are occupied with telling the story of cities and Nations bom in a day. Nearly all the oenturies closed with some¬ thing tremendous. Why may not this century close in the salvation of America? I do not know whether our theological friends, I who have studied the subject more than nave, are right or wrong when they say Christ will come in person to set up His kingdom in this world: with but though we would be over¬ whelmed our unworthiness I would like to see Christ descend from heaven in one oi the clouds of this morning, and planting His feet on this earth, whioh He came oenturies ago to save, doolare His reign of love and meroy and salvation on earth begun. And what more appropriate place—I landing say it than rev¬ erentially—for such a divine the capital of a continent superstitions never of cursed the Old by the tyrannies and World? What has this dying nineteenth century to tell us before he goes? We all loye to hear septuagenarians, ians centenarians octogenarians, talk. nonagenar¬ We gather and around the armchair and listen till it is far on into the night and never weary of hear¬ ing their experiences. But T.ord Lyndhurst. at eighty-eight years oi age, pouring into the ears of the House of Lords in a four hours’ address the experiences of a lifetime, and Apollonius, at 100 years of age, recounting his travels to thrilled listeners, and Charles Maoklia, at 107 years of age, absorbing the attention of his hearers, and Ralph Farnham of our oountry, at 107 years, telling the Prince of Wales the story of Bunker HU 1, can create no such interest as this dying centen¬ arian If he will only speak. Tell us, 0 nineteenth century, before you go in a score of sentences, some of the things you have heard and seen. The veteran turns upon us and says: “I saw Thomas Jefferson riding in unattended from Montlcello, only a few steps from where you stand, dismount from his horse and hitch the bridle to a post, and on yon¬ der hill take the oath ot the presidential office. war’s I saw yonder I capital the ablaze with incendiarism. saw puff of the first steam engine in America. I heard the thunders Sedan of Gettysburg. Waterloo, of I Sepastopol and and was present at all the coronations of the kings and queens and emperors and empresses now in the world’s palaces. I have seen two billows roll across this continent and Irom ocean to ocean—a billow of revival joy in 1857 and a billow of blood in 1864. I have seen four generations of the human race march across this world and disappear. I saw their cradles rocked and their graves dog, I have hoard the wedding bells, and the death knells of near a hundred years. I have olappfd my hands for millions' of joys and wrung them in millions of agonies. I Edward saw Maoready and Edwin I Forrest bef-1 act and chime PayBon pray. the first of Longfellow's rhythms, and before anyone else eaw them I read the first line of Bancroft's history and the first verse of Bryant’s “Thaoatopsis” and tae flrst worn oi Victor Hugo’s almost supernatural romance. 1 heard the music of all the grand marches and the lament of aU the requiems that foi nigh tea decades made the cathedral win¬ dows shake. I have eeen more moral aud spiritual victories than ail of my predeces¬ sors put together. For all you who hear or read this valedictory I have kindled all the domestic firesides by which you ever sat and roused all the hatloos and roundelays and merriments you have ever heard aud un¬ rolled all the pictured sunsets and starry banners of the midnight heavens that you have ever g:aed at But ere I go take this admonition and benediction of a dyingesn tury. The longest life, like mine, must close. Opportunities gone never come back, as I could prove from nigh a hundred years of observation. The eternity that will aoou take ms will soon take you. The wicked ^ “ 1 ha ™ «• The only influence for making the world happy is an influence that I, the nineteenth the century, Christian inherited from the first century of era—the Christ of ali the cen¬ turies. Be not deceived by the fact that I have lived so long, for a century is a large wheel that turns 100 smaller wheels, which are the years, and each one of those. years turns 365 smaller wheels, which are the days and each one of the 365 days turns 24 smaller those whoels, which hours are the hours, each one of 24 turns 80 smaller wheels, which are the minutes, and these 60 minutes turn still smaller wheels, which are the seconds. And ali of this vast machinery is in perpetual motion and pushes us on and on toward the great eternity whose doors will, at 12 o’clock of the winter night between the year 1900 and the year 1901 open before me, the dying century. I quote from the three inscriptions over three doors of the cathedral of Milan. Ovfai one doc., “All atma that a rvtoa.n which o, sculptured roses, I read, moment.” Over pleases us is but for a another door, around a sculptured cross, for I read, “All that which troubles us is but a moment ” But over the central door, I read, “That only is important which is eternal.” O eternity, eternity, eternity! My hearers, as the nineteenth century was bom while the face of this Nation was yet wet with tears because of the fatal horseback ride that Washington took out here at Mount Vemon through a December snowstorm, I wish the nest century might be born at a time when the face of this Nation shall be wet with tko tears of the literal or spiritual arrival of the Great Deliverer of Nations, of whom St. John wrote with apocalyptic pen, “And I saw, and behold a white horse! Ana He that sat on Him had a bow, ana a crown was given unto Him, and He went forth conauering and to conquer.” CYCLING NOTES. Soft tires increase the liability to punc¬ tures. The French Touring Club now has 42,000 members. A census of the cyclists of Vienna, Austria, showed a total of 20,000. Austria has twenty bicycle factories, which turn out 80,000 wheels a year. The Royal Arcanum Wheelmen of New York Oity now number 125 members. Every bicyclist in France must have his name and address on his wheel, on a metallic ptafe. The African Cyclist has just beon started at Johannesburg, South Africa, where cycling is said to be in a very flourishing state. A Citizens’ League has been formed in Toronto, Canada, to put down the bicycle scorcher. The league is composed blood. of the most prominent citizens and is out for Paris is going ahead in the matter of cater¬ ing for cyclists. In the beautiful Bois de Boulogne there is now a special avenue, over a mile in length, which, is exclusively re¬ served for cyclists, Leon Gamier, Jin inventor of a chainless bicycle, was recently killed in Paris by an accident on his wheel. Ho was riding down a steep bill, lost control of nis wheel and was thrown on his head. Philadelphia lias a few cycle path schemes on hand aud the Parte Commissioners of that city have recommended that 425,000 be spent in the construction of paths along the prin¬ cipal driveways of Fairmount Park. It is said that l be patrons of a large tour¬ ist agency, whose business is world embrac¬ ing, will in future be mounted on bicycles when the tourists prefer that mode of loco¬ motion in the excursions in foreign cities. A large number of sensible bicyclists, as well as a good many other folk, ha ve set down the so-called Aeolian harps male of rubber bands attached to the “diamond” as first class nuisanoeg and have hoped that the use of them would bo only a temporary fad. Sometimes one’s front wheel gets slightly buckled. It can easily be put right In the following manner: 8pm the wheel around, holding a piece of chalk close to the forks. The parts out of “truth” will touch the chalk. By taking out the wheel and pressing upon the places marked it will quickly as¬ sume its normal shape. The 1887 models will soon be on the mar¬ ker, and wheelmen are looking forward to tbeir arrival with great ox; (eolations. The new wheels will undoubtedly be beauties, though the changes in them will be few. The different factories have made no an¬ nouncement of a change in their price, and it is expected that the wheels will sell for the same amount at which they were sold during tills year.
