“UNOCCUPIED FIELDS."
Dr. Talmage’s Discourse Yester
day Morning,
———— —■
AT THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE
Brooklyn, October 9. —[Special.]—Audien-
ces at the Brooklyn tabernacle this autumn are
larger than at any time during the history of
this church, and greater numbers go away
not able to got in. Led by cornet and organ,
the congregation sang with great power the
hymn:
The morning light 1s breaking,
The darktu >s disappears,
The Hons of men are waking
To penitential team.
The Rev. T. DoAVitt Talmage, 1). !>., read
and explain* <1 passages of scripture concern
ing the dawn of universal righteousness. The
subject of his sermon was “Unoccupied
Fields,” and the text from Romans, chapter
XV, v. 20: “Lost I should build upon another
man’s foundation.” Dr. Talmage said;
Stirring report > come from all parts of Amer
ica showing what a great work the churches of
Clod are doing, ami I congratulate them ami
their pastor*. Misapprehensions have been
going the rounds, saying that tho outside be- :
novolcne* <>f this particular church are neg
lected, when the f;u I is that large sum > o
money are being raised in various ways by I
Ibis church for all styles of good objects, not
always through the boards of our own denomi
nation, This church was built by all denomi
nations of ( ians, and b\ many >*•< t ions of
Ibis lan 1 and other lands, and that obligation •
has led us to raise money for many objects not ;
connect---d with our denomination, and this ac
counts for the fact that we have not regularly
Contributed to all the boards comm< k mh-«l.
But 1 rejoice in that you have done
as a church a magnificent work,
and am grateful that we have j
received during tin* year by the c* nf» ion of ,
faith in < hi: t seven hundred ami twenf,x-fi\< ’
Souls, whi< b ho I. I mention not in bo.isi ing bin '
In defense of this ehur< h, showing it lias been
neither idle imr ineflieient. The m<» t, of our :
nui cssions have been from th< outside world. ’
*o that, taking the idea of my text, xvr have I
)iol been building on other people's foumla- I
lions.
hi laying out the plan of his missionary tour ,
Paul sought out towns ami cities which bad
i lot yet been preached to. Ile goes to (’orinlh.
I city in<‘ntione<l for spk ndor and vice, ami
IferiiHiilem, where the priesthood ami the
lodrim were ready tob ap with both feet upon
the Christian religion. He feels he has espe
cial work to do, and ho moans to do it. What •
ivas the result ? The grande 4 life of US'dill- .
jk s that a man e\< r lived. We modern
Christian work* rs me not apt to imitate Paul. |
Wo build on other people’s foun
ilntion:-. If wo uh < t a church
xre prefer to have it tilled with families all <d
whom have i»e< n pious. Do we gather a Sab
bath sehoid class, we want good boys and good
girls, hair cnmbeit, hu es washed, manners at
tractive. So a ehurch in this day is apt to b<
|milt out of other churches. Some iiiini.sb us
Spend all their lime in li-dnng in other people’s
ixinds, ami t hey throw the line into that church
pond and jerk out a Methodist, and throw the
Jim- into another church pond ami bring out a
J‘ru' by lei inn, or there is u religious row in
Rome neighboring church, and a whole school
of iish swim oil from that pond, and we fake
thorn all in with one swe< p of the net. What i •
gained .' \b <dute|y nothing for the general
<uius( of Christ, It i only ;r> in an army, when
m regiment is trandom <1 from one <lix ision to
unethur, tioin the Tunm .•■<* to the Potomac.
AVhat stren iliviis the! army is newr recruit*.
What 1 have al ways-h dr<4 is. that while we
are courteous to iho.se coming from other
floel.s, we build our uhureh not out of other
rhurenos, but out ol 11 e world, lest we build
on another mun’s foundation. 'ihe fact Is,
thb in a big world. Win n, in our schoolboy

Here are hundreds and thousands of sinning,
struggling, and dying people who need to real
ize just one thing—that Jesus Chri t came to
save them, and will save them now. But wo
' go into a profound and elaborate, definition of
, what justification L, and after all tie work
■ there are, n«d, outside of the learned profes
sions, live thousand people in the united
i States who can tell what justification is. J
will read you the definition:
j “Justification is purely a forensic act, the
i act of a judge sitting in the forum, in v.liich
■ tho Supreme Kuler nnd judge, who is ac
! countable to none., and who alone knows tho
. manner iu which the ends of His universal
! government can best be obtained, reckons that
I which was done by the sbbstitute in the same
’ manner as if it. hail been done by those* who
: believe in the substitute, and not on account
of anything done by them, but purely upon
account of this gracious method of reckon
ing, grants them the full remission of their
sins.”
Now, whut is justification? T will (ell you
what justitieation is—when a sinner believes.
God lets him off. One simuncr in <.'onnecticut
f went lo a large factory, and J saw over the
door writt< n the words’: “No Admittance.”
I entered and saw over the next door: “No
Admittance.” Os course 1 entered. I <4 in
side and found it a pin fat lory, and they were
making pins, very serviceable, fine and useful
I pins. So the spirit of cxclusivcncs.-, hai prac
tically written over the. outside, door of many
’ a church: “No Admittance.” And if the.
stranger enters he find practically written over
j the second door; “No Admittanee,” and if
I ho goo- in, over all the pew dour- • < m‘i writ
i ten: “No Admittance,” while the mihHter
I stands in the pulpit, hammering mil his little
! nicetiu <>f ’>• !i( j. jumniling out thd t< chni
j calities of H-ligion, makfjig pins. In the hk»sl
( jn.u t « al, common sense way, ami laying aside.

Uomparati*. c|y little elTort as yet has been
made i -I s i. e ibat large ula-s <>f persons in
our midst • idled skeptics, and In* who goes to
work here, will not be. building upon another :
mail ' foundation. There is a great multitude
<d them. I hey are afraid of ns and our
| churches, for the icason we don’t know
’ how io treat them. Gne id this class met
i liii-I. and hear with what tenderness, and
, pathos, and beauty, and sriceess <’hrist dealt
\v iiii him : “ I’bon shall love the Lord thy < iod
i with all thy heart, and with all thy sou), and
y. ith .il thy mind, ami with all thy .strength,
ihi i t! ' lirst commandment, and the sec
ond i like i" tin n.iiiu-A . th-hi halt lovo thy
nei'jhbor as thyself. Th< re is no other com- I
iimiiil.ik nt giuuiei than this.” And the scribe j
said to him: “V» ell, master, thou hast ''aid the 1
truth, for there is one God, and to love him '
with nil the heart, and all llie •understanding, '
.ii.d nil th iihil, and all the strength is mon
than whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And i
\vh« n .tuiiis saw that he answered discreetly, ,
he ..lid uido him : “Thou art not far from the
kingdom <d‘God. ’ So a skeptic, was saved in
, <»ne interview. But lew Chri>tiau people treat
! the skeptic, in that. way. Instead of taking ;
iiuld of him with tho gentle hand of love, we .
are apt to take him with the iron pincers of !
ccclesiastici.siu.
Yi-n would not be so rough on that man if
you knew by what process lie had lost his faith
in Christianity. 1 have known men skeptical
from the fact that they grew up in houses
whore religion was overdone. Sunday was the
must awful day of the week. They had re
ligion driven into them with a trip-hammer.
They were surfeited with prayer meetings.
I'll- y Were .-•Luffed and i linked with cate
chisms. Th< y ui« often told they wore tho
\\or I boys tin* parents ever knew, because
they liked t*» ride down hill better than to
re 1.1 Bunyan’s Tilgriin Progress. W henever
father and mother talked <d religion, they
drew down the corners of their mouth and
rolled up their eyes. It any one thing will
send a boy or girl to perdjtiou sooner than
another, that G it. Il l had had such a father
and mother, I fear I should have been an in
fidel.
Otlu r' wore tripp' d up of skepticism from
being griex ously wronged by some, man who
proft s.,ct| to be. a ( in i tian. They had a part
ner in biisine.-s who turned out to be a lirst
c'uss I’lHindrel, though a profu’-sed Christian.
Twenty year?. t;;o they lost all faith by what.

Innocent rm n ami v. emeu who had a little

“I -k'U t know anything about this company,

• women today, I throw out no scoff.
I implead them by the memory of
> , the good old days when at their mother’s
knee they said: “Now I lay me
• down to sleep,” and by tlm.se days and nights
i of scarlet fever in which she watched you. giv
ing you the medicine at just the right time,
‘ and turning your pillow when it was hot, and
v. ith hands that many years ago turned to
du t, sooth ' ay y <>.ir pam, and with voice
that you will n< ver hear again, unless you join
her in the belter country, told you to never
mind, for yon would feel butter by-and-by, and
by t hat dyingcouch hereshe looked so pale and
talked so slowly, catching her breath between
■ the words, and you felt an awful loneliness
‘ coming <•• ver your .-tml; by all that, I beg you
j to come back and take the same religion. It
was good enough for her. It is good enough
> for you. Nay, J have a better plea than that.
I plead by all tho woun 1-, and tears, ami
' blood, ami groans, and agonies, and dcath
\ throes of thu Sun of God. who approaches you
this moment t.with torn brow, and lauera
| ted hand, and whipped back, and saying:
; “Come unto me, all yc who are weary and
heavy laden, and J will give youfrest.”
Again, there is a field of usefulness but little
toucdicd occupied by those who are astray in
, their habits. All northern nations, liketho.se
of North America, and Englund .md Scotland,
1 hat is, in the colder climates, are devastated
: bj’alcohol inin. They fake the fire to keep up
the warmth. In southern countries, like Ara-
■ bia and Spain, tho blood is so they are not
tempted to fiery liquids. The great Roman
armies never drank anything stronger than
wafer tinged with vinegar,, but under our
northern climate tho temptation to heating
stimulants i.s must mighty, and. millions suu-
• nmb. Whi n a man's habits go wrong tho
i htiruh drops him, the social < iicle drops him,
good influences drop him, we all drop nim. Os
ail the men who get off track but lew ever gut
on again. Near my summer residence there
is a life-saving station on the beach.
! There are all the ropes and
rockets, Ihc boats, the machinery for
’ getting people off shipwrecks. Summer be- |
f<?re last. I axv there fifteen or twenty men i
’ v’, ho were breakfasting, after having just us- ;
I cai»ed with their lives and nothing more.
I p and down our coasts are built these use- ,
ful structures, and the mariners know it, and <
they feel that if they are driven into tho j
1 breakers, thero will be apt from shore toeome i
a rescue, 'i ho churches of God ought to be '
so many life-saving stations, not so mm h to i
help those who are in smooth walers, hut those
who have h.-' n shipwr; eked. t'oine, let us
1 run out the life-boats! And who will man
them? \Vu do not preach enough to such men
we have not enough faith in their release.
Alas, if when they come to hear us, wo are la-
■ boriously trying to show the difference bet ween
i Mijna’lapsarianism, while
1 the.s have a thousand vipers of rcmor. c and
’ despair coiling around and biting their im
mortal spirits. The < hurvh is not < hiclly lor
goodish-ort of men whose proclivities are all
! right, and who could get to heaven praying
1 and inging in their own homes. Itison tho
b.-aeh to help the drowning. Those bad cases
an Ihe case; 1 hat God likesto take hold of.
Ile can Jsaxe ;■ big kinner well as a small
I .sinner, and vxhen :» man calls earnestly to
i God for help be will go out to deliver -ueh a
one. If it wore ne« ■ God would come
down irom thi* sky, followed l»y all the artil
lery of heaven ami a million angels with
drawn sword-. Gul one hundred such re-
1 deemed men in each of your churches, and j
nothing could stand before them, for such
men arc generally warm-hearted and enthusi
astic. No formal prayers then. No heartless
singing then. No cold conventionalisms
then. #
Eurtliermore, the destitute i hiblren of the
1 street offer a field of work comparatively un
u* uuplud. 'l’lie uncared-for children arc in the
majority in I’mokljn and most of our cities.
W hen they grow up, if unreformed, they will
outvote jour children, and they will gov©) 11 1

The Prussian cavalry mount by puttingtlibUr

cavalry mount by pulling their left foot into

j war charger, if you only get into this battle
for God amt get there soon, right stirrup or
left stirrup, or no tirrup at all. The uno. uu

which oxorthrew’ an invading army and

A Reminiscence.
From the Texas -dtingp.
1 | While the Texas veterans were in Austin
last summer, we overheard two venerable men who
had not s .on each other since ISI2, talking about
the early history of Texas, and how much better
• things were managed in th >se early days. Among
’ ’ the incidents of bygone days was a murd . r trial
' which took place in the days of the republic of
' I cxas, not lung after the battle of San Jacinfo. A
1 man was brought before the court charged with
' having mur-b. re'd a neighbor, the father of a largo
I family. Ti;e murderer himself was an unmarried
' man. When the ease was called, the p:e lding
’ judge read the indictments, and having told the
prisoner to stand up, said to him:
“Bill Jones, you haven't been acting right about
■ this matter. The man you killed was a good man,
' and had never done you any harm. You murder
! cd him in a cow ardly manner,while he uas plowing (
in the field. You have deprived a good woman of .
j h« r husband, and mode orphans of her children. 1
. The w idow is unable to support them. Now 1 ad- ;
| vise you to net like a gentleman about this matter, j
1 Jf I tuni you loose will you marry ihe w idow and j
1 support the family of the deceased?”
The doomed man said he was more than willing
I to marry the widow; in fact he shot her husband so
! tiu.t he, the accused, could do that very thing.
“Well, then,” said the judge, “I ll dismiss the
I murder case ftgidw-t you, and as the widow is in
I court we will proceed with ti e marriage cere
. m-n...”
The widow l ad no objection except that she
' wanted a little more time to dry her tears and fix
I up for the occasion. Tho judge pronounced tho
! happy couple man ami wife without any delay.

Killed by liberty’s Torch.
; From Ihe Indianapolis News.
The people are aware that on Bedloc’s
| Island, in the harbor of New York, stands tho
, statue of Liberty, with a flaming torch in its up
; lifted hnnd; the poetical purpose being to enlighten
i the world. By tho human oyo, the light can be
seen at a distance of thirty six miles, and by tho
bird's oyo a much greater distance; and as the )
sc'juil shows so much the worse for the bird's, par
ticularly those which are seeking the sunny south
land to spend the winter. The Now York Herald
says that i.u iug one night last week thirteen hun
dred and sixty-five birds were burned to death by
Libeityhs torch, and that among the dead birds
foun I in the morning at the base of the statue*,
t here were specimens of more than one hundrid
liistim t speuies. The largest bird was ft f'unadian
v,'Kkljh eker. It measured thirteen iuel es from
wing to wing, and its girth was correspondingly
great. The smallest bird was a one inch long, love
ly plnmaged humming bird. An examination
proved that the heat of the light had blind d the
unfortunate creatures, and that, in not a few cases,
their brains wore actually roasted, strictly >peak
ng, hardly any of them were dashed to death, ; u
w iu 1 fatally bu ned and blinded. It is not often '
that such a bird calamity is recorded, and if it goes
on during the 1 migratory seasons the torch of Liberty
ill depopulate the forests of the birds of b?autiful
plumage and captivating song.
No one knows better than those who have

they have given when taken for dyspepsia,
