ocnraa on tea *ub],ct: “»a Dlisdvsntsses
of Some Taopla”—Tea Dtsaivaatesee of
a Name—An Interaction sermon.
Bboklyk, September 19. [Special.]—
The Boy. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D„ preached
in the Brooklyn tabernacle this morning on
the subject: “Disadvantages of Some People.”
The op> niog hymn was:
“Blow ye the trumpet I Blow
The gladly aolemn aound I
Let all the nations know,
To earth's remotest bound.”
After eapounding appropriate passages of
scripture, Dr. Talmage took hit text from
Genesis xiIi-38: “All these things are against
me,” and preached the following sermon:
f, Fsther Jacob, yon are wrong. You think
your son Joseph it dead, but he Is prime min.
ister of Egypt, and hat the keys of the great
com ci lb. You think that circumstances are
•11 adverse, but they will turn out well. In all
your life you never made a greater mistake
than when you said: “All these things are
against me.”
A great multitude ot people are under teem,
lug disadvantages, and I will today. In the
swaitbieat Anglo-Saxon that I can manage,
treat their cases; not at a nurse count! out
eight or ten drops of a prescription, and
Ibis them in a half glut of water,
but at when a man hat by mistake taken a
large amount of strychnine, or Paris green, or
belladonna, and the patient Is walked rapidly
sound the room, and shaken up, and pounded
until he gets wide awake. Many of you have
taken a large draught of the poison of dis
couragement, and I come out by the order of
the Divine Physician to rouse you out of that
lethargy.
1. Maoypeopleareundorthe disadvantage of
an unfortunate name given them by parentawho
thought they were doing a good thing. Some
times at the baptism of chtldrao, while I have
held up one hand in prayer, I have held up
the other hand in amazement that parents
should have weighted the babe with such a
dissonant nnd repulsive nomenclature. I have
not so much wondered that some children
should cry out at the christening font at that
others with inch nulling flees should
take a title that will be the burden
of their lifetime. It is outrageous to afflict
children with an undesirable name becauso it
happened to he possessed by a parentjor a rich
uncle from whom favors are expected, or some
prominent man of the day who may end his
life in disgrace? Itianoexc
arc Scripture names, to call I
orTiglath-Piieser. At this very altar I bap
tised cue by the name Bathahena. Why, un«
' ■' the ' '
any
der all the circumambient heaven,
parent should want to give _
child tho name of that loose and Infamous
creature of Scripture times, I cannot Imagine.
I have often felt at the baptismal altar, when
names were announced to me, like saying, as
did llev. Dr. Blohards, of Morristown, N. J.,
when a child was handed him for sprinkling,
and tho name given: “Hadn’t you better call
it something else?”
Impose notupo:
tlve of flippancy or meanness. There
Is no excuse for such assault
and battery on the cradle when
cur language Is opulent with names musical In
sound and suggestive In meaning, such as
John, meaning "the gracious gift of God;” or
Hem y, meaning “the chief of a household;
or Allred, meaning "good counsellor;” or Josh
ua, meaning “God, our salvation.” or Nicholas,
meaning “victory of the people;” or Ambrose,
mesnlng “Immortal;” or Andrew, meaning
"manly;” or Either, meaning “a star;” or Abi
gail, meaning “my father's joy,” or Anne,
mianlng “grace;” or Victoria, meaning
“victory,” or Boealle, meaning “beautiful as a
rose,” or Margaret, meaning “spear!,” or Ida,
meanlt g “Godlike,” or Clara, meaning “illus
trious,'’or Amelia, meaning “busy,” or Ber
tha, meaning “beautlital,” and hundreds of
other names Just as good, that are ahelp rath
er than a hindrance. Bot sometimes tho great
hindrance In life is not in the given name but
In tho family name. While legislatures
•re willing toll ft such Incubus there are Cam
illes that keep a name whloh mort
gages all tho generations with a great
disadvantage. You say: “I wonder If he Is
any relation to eo and so, mentioning tome
family celebrated for crime or deception. It
is a wonder to me that in all such families
> does not rise, saying
s: “If you want to
keep this nuisance or scandaltsation of a name
I will keep it no longer than until by quickest
coune of law lean slough off this gan
grene.” When the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church of the
United Mates met In this building in 1870, two
estimable men of the sweetest disposition
stopped at the tame home, and one had the
mUnomt r of being Ur. Sour, and the other
the mitnoasr of being Mr. Pickle. And your
city uinctoiy has hundreds of names, the
men pronunciation of which htabeonallfo.
longetit.de. If you have startedlife uadar
a name which either through ridiculous or
thography or vicious augeestixn hai been an
encumbrance, rasolvo that tho noxt generation
dball not be ao weighted.
It ia no 'bemoaning to change r name. Stnl
of Tanue became Paul tho Apostle. Habautli,
“the myrtle,” became Esther, “the star.” We
hare In americt, and I suppose it is eo in ell
countme, names which rugot to be abolished,
and can he, and will bo nUolithed, for tho ret-
aon that they are e libel
and a slander. But if for any ronton you sra
submerged either by a given name or by a
family name that you must boar, God will
help you to overcomo the outrage by a Ufe
consecrated io tho good and useful. You mty
crass tho curse from the name. You miy
somewbst change the sUnificance. If once it
stood for meanness, you can make It stand for
gentroai’.y. If oaca it stood for pride,
yon can make it stand for
humility. If it once etood for
fraud, you can make It stand for honesty. If
ones it stood for wickedness, yon can make It
stand for purity. Tkero have boon multitudes
of instances whom men tad women have
magnificently conquered the disasters of ths
name inflicted upon thorn.
8. Again, many people labor under the mis
fortune of Incomplete phyaleel equipment.
We are by our Creator so economically built
that wo cannot afford tho obliteration
of any physical faculty. We
want our two eyes, our two oars, our two
bands, our two foot, our eight fingers and two
thumbs Yet what multitudes of people have
but one eye, or but one foot. The ordinary
caiuallirswf life have becu quadrupled, quin
tupled, sestupled, aye centupled, in our time
by the civil war, end at toe north and south
»treat multitude that no man can numbu

lcastbau half, the needed physicist arma

patios of a solder during the
Wtr, who when told that ho must
have bis bind amputated said: “Doctor, can’t
you save it?” end when told that it wea Im
possible, said with tears rolling down his
chteks: “Well then, gool bye, old baud
I late to part with you. Yon htve
done me a good eervice for many years, bat it
Bcems you must go. G-a 1 bye.”
A celebrated surgeon told ms of a scene

Yet how many suffer from thisphyetcal tak

tcok off a day from February, miking it the
shortest mouth in the year, and added it to
August, tho mouth named after himself so
advantages taken from one pert of your nature
will he added on to another.
But It la amazing howmuehof ths world’s
work baa been done by men of eubtraoied
physical organisation. 8,8, Prenties,the greet
orator of the southweet, went limping ell his
life, but there waa no foot put down upon any
platform of bis day that resounded so far ea
his clnb foot. Beethoven was so deaf that hs
conid not hear theersah of the orchestra ren
dering his oratorios. Thomas Carlyls, the
dyepeptic martyr, eras given the commission
to drive cant out of the world’e
literature. Bev. Thomas Stockton,
of Philadelphia, with one lung,
raised his audience* nearer heaven than moot
misiaten can ralae them with two lungv. In
the banks, the Insurance companies, tho com
mercial establishments; the reformatory as
sociations, tho churches, there ere tens of
thousands of men and women today doubled

or with only fragments of limbs,

Pot to frill use til the faculties tint remain,
and charge on all opposing droumstanoe* with
the determination of John of Bohemia, who
was totally blind, and yet at a battle cried
ont: “I pray end bcaeech yon to lead eo fir
into the fight that I may strike one good
blow with tbia sword of mine.” Do not think
so mnch of what facnltiee you have lost as of
whet faculties remain. You have enough left
to make younelf felt in three worlds, while

O men and women of depleted or crippled fac
ulties, ted ece what, by the special help of
God, you can accomplish!
The skilled horsemen stood around Bu-
cepbalur, usable to mount or manege him, so
wild wss the steed. But Alexander noticed
that the sight of his own shadow seemed to
disturb the horse, 8o Alexander clutched
him by the bridle, and turned his heed tway
from the shadow, and towards the euu,
end the horse’s agitation was gone, and Alex
ander mounted him and rode off, to the aston.
M.meDt of all who etood by. And whet you
people seed la to have your sight turned
awsy from the shadows of your earthly lot
over which you have so long pondered, and
your head turned toward the sun—the glorl.
cos tun of Goapel consolation, and Christian
hope, and apirituel triumph.
And then remember that *11 physical dlssd-
vantages will, after e while, vanish. Let thou
who havo been rheumatlsmedout of a foot, or
catenated out of an aye, or by the perpetual
rear of our citlee thundered out of an oar,
look forward to the day when this old tone-
mentbouso of flesh will come down and*

III. Anothar form of disadvantage under
which many labor ialaekof early education.
There will be no excuse tor Ignorance In the
next generation. Free schools and illimitable
opportunity of education will make
Ignorance a crime. I believe In
compulsory education and those parentawho
neglect to put their children under educational
advantage* have hot one right left, and that la
the penitentiary. But than are multitude* of
men and women in midlife who have had no
opportunity. Free school* had not yet been
established, and vast multitudes [had little or
no ichool at all. They feel it wheo.ea Christian
men, they come to eptak
in religions aw"’
occasions, patrlottelor
embllea or public
political, or educational-
potent. They owe nothing to English gram
mar, or geography, or belle* letters. They
wonld sot knows psrtidple from a [pronoun
if they met it many times a day. Many of
the moat luceeeeful merchants of America and
men In high political plaeea cannot write as

Now, suppose a man fisda himself In mid
life without education, what ia ha to do? Do
the best he can. Tha moat affective layman

hortation and prayer to all others. Why?
Bi causo ho was to thoroughly pious and hid
such power with God ha was irresistible; and
as he went on In hie prayer sinners repented
end saints shonted for Joy, end the bereaved
sesmed to get back their dead In celestial
companionship. And whan be had stopped

IV. But what other multitudes there era
under other disadvantages. Here Is a Chris
tian woman whose husband thinks rallgion a
sham, and while the wlfa pray* the children
one wny tb* husband swears them another.
Or here Is e Christian men who la trying to do
tin beat for God and the cborcb, and Hit wife
holds him back and says on ths way back from

tie means. Bat they pay mors. You bay coal

buy flour by tea barrel, they buy It by tho
pound. You get npparol cheep boesnse you
pay csib. They pay dear because they htve
to get trusted. And the Bible wee right when
It said: “The destruction of tho poor It their
poverty."
Then there are thoee who made a mistake in
early life, and that overshadows all their days.
‘ Do yon not know that that man was once in
prison?” it whispered. Or, “Dayou know
that that nun once attempted suicide?” Or,
“Do you know that that man ones abeconded?”
Or,* Do yon know that that man waa ones dis

Other* htve nnfortnnete predominance of
some mental faculty, and their rashness
throw* them into wild enterprises, or their
trepidation makes them decline great oppor
tunity, or there if a vein of melancholy in
their dispceltion that defeats them, or they
have an endowment of overmirth that causes
the Impression of lnsinosrlty.
Others have a mighty obstacl* In their per-
tonal appearance, for which they are net re
sponsible. They forget that God fashioned
their features, and their complexion, and
their stature, the elie of their noee, and
month, and hands, and feat, and gave them
the gait and the general appeannoe; and they
forget that much of the world’! beat work,
and tho ebureh’s best work, has
done by homely people; and thal
tba Apoatle fa said to havo
humpbacked, and his eyesight weakened by
ophthalmia, while many of tho finest in ap
titudes, and in displaying tno ricnnoss or
wardrobes—not one ribbon or veal or sack or
glove or button or shoestring of wnlohthoy
have bad brains enough to earn for themselves.
Others had wrong proclivities from tho start.
They were born irrong, and that sticks to one
even after he la born again. They have a net-
nral crankiness that la two hundred and sev
enty-five years old, It came over with their
rreet grandfather* from Scotland, or Wales, or
Franco. It was born on the hanks of the
Thsmes, or the Clyde, or the Tiber, or tho
Bbtne, and hat survived all tha plague* and
epidemics of many generations, and la living
today on ths bsnks of the Hudson, or the lu
ll roscoggio, or the Savannah, or tno La Plata.
And whan a man trlci to step this evil ances
tral proclivity ho ia Ilk* a man on a rock in
tho raplda of Niagara holding on with a grip
from which tha twift currents an trying to
•weep him Into ths abyss beyond.

has a fit It cannot stand such a clraumfer-
cnce and inch a diameter. Some new Coto
paxi or Stromboll or Vesuvine will open and
then all will be stpeaoe for the natural world.
But what about the moral woes of the world,
that htve rocked all nations, and for six
thousand yean science proposes nothing but
knowledge, and many people that know the
moat ere the meet uncomforted?
In the way of practical relief for all disad
vantages and all woes, the only voieethetb
worth lbbnlng to on thb subject, b the voice
of Christianity, which b the volo* of Almighty
God. Whether I have mentioned the partic]
alar disadvantage under which you bboror
not, I distinctly declare, In ths name of my
God, that there b a way out and a way np for
all of yon. Yon cannot bo any worse off than
that Christian young woman who wu in tho
