Sermon Delivered by Dr, Tal mage at Brooklyn Tabernacle. “I DID BUT TASTE A LITTLE HONEY Brooklyn, October 16.—[Special.]—"Soven hundred ond eighty-one thousand three hun dred and sixteen dollars and twenty-four cents have been paid cash down in this church for re ligious uses and Christian work during the nineteen years of my ministry,” said the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., in answer to the misrepresentations that have been going through some of the religions papers depreci ating the work of the Brooklyn tabernacle. After giving out the hymn: “Our God. our h In In ages past, Our hope for years to come. Dr. Talmage preached a sermon, the subject of which was “Forbidden Honey,” the text being I Samuel xiv, v. 43: “I did but-taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and, 10, I must die.” Dr. Tal mage said: The honey bee is a most ingenious architect, a Christopher Wren among insects,a geometer drawing hexagons and pentagons, afreebotter, robbing the fields of pollen and aroma, a won drous creature of God whose biography, written by Huber and Swammerdam,is an en chantment for any lover of nature. Virgil celebrated the bee in his fable of Aristaeus, and Moses, and Samuel, and David, and Solo mon, and Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and St. John used the delicacies of bee manufacture as a Bible symbol. A miracle of formation is the bee; five eyes, two tongues, the outer having a sheath of protection hairs on all sides of its tiny body to brush up the particles of flowers, its flight so straight that all the world knows of the bee-line. Tlio honey comb is a palace such as no one but God could plan, and the honey-bee construct; its cells sometimes a dormitory, and sometim s a store-house and sometimes a cemetery. These winged toilers first- make eight strips of wax, and by their an teenae, which are to th m hammer, and chisel, and square, and plumb-line, and fashion them for use. Two and two, these workers shape tlio wall. If an accident happen they put up buttresses er extra beams to remedy the dam age. When about the year 1776, an insect, be fore unknown, in the night limo attacked the bee hives all over Europe, and the men who owned them were in vain trying to plan some thing to keep out the invader that was the ter ror of the Jbee-hives of the continent, it was found that everywhere the bees had arranged for their own protection, and built before their honeycombs an especial wall of wax with port hole through which the bees might go to and fro. but not large enough to admit the winged combatant, called the Sphinx Atropos. Do you know that the swarming of the bees is divinely directed? The mother bee starts for a new home, and because of this the other bee:; of the. hive get into an excitement which raises the heat of the hive some four degrees, and they must die unless they leave their heated apartments, and they follow the mother bee and alight on the branch of a tree, and cling to each other and hold on until a com mittee of two or three have explored the re gion ami found the hollow of a tree or rock not far off from a stream of water, and they here set un a new colony, and ply their aro matic industries, and give themselves to the manufacture of the saccharine edible. But who can toll the chemistry of that mix ture of sweetness, part of it the very life of the bee and part of it the life of the fields? Plenty of this luscious product was hanging in the woods of Bethaven during tlie time of Saul and Jonathan. Their army was in pur suit of an enemy that by God’s command must bo exterminated. The soldiery were positive ly forbidden to stop to eat anything until tlie work was done. It they di obeyed they were accursed. Coming through the woods they found a place where the bees had been busy, a great honey manufactory. Honey gathered in the hollow of tlio trees until it had overflowed upon tlio ground in great profusion of sweetness. All the army obeyed orders and touched it not save Jona than, and lie not knowing the military order about abstinence, dipped tlie end of a stick he bad in his baud into tlie candied liquid and as, yellow, an-1 brown and tempting, it glowed on the < nd of tlie stick, he put it to his mouth and ate the limojr. Judgment fell upon him, and but for special intervention, ho would have been slain. In my text, Jonathan announces his awful mistake: “I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and, 10, 1 must die.” Alas, what multi tude of people in all ages have been damaged by foibblden honey, by which I mean tempta tion. delicious and attractive, but damaging and destructive. J literature fascinating but deathful conies in this category. Where one good, honest, health ful book is read now. there are one hundred miulo up of rhetorical trash consumed with avidity. When the boy on the cars oumes through with a pile of publications, look over the titles and notice that nine out of ten of tli<‘books are depleting and injurious. All the way from New York to Chicago or New- Orleans notice that objectionable books domi nate. Taste for pure literature is poisoned by this scum of the publishing house. Every book in which sin triunips over a irtue, or in which a glamour is thrown over dissipation, or which leaves you at its last line with less re spect for the marriage institution and less ab horrence for tlio paramour, is a depression of I your own moral character. The book bindery may be attractive, and the plot dramatic, and startling, and the style of writing sweet as the honey that Jonathan dipped up with his rod, but your best interests forbid it, your moral safety forbids it, your God forbids it and one taste of it may lead to such bad results that you may have to say at the close of the exper iment or at the close of a inisimprovcd life time: “I did but taste a little honey with the rod that waspn my hand, and, 10, I must die.” Corrupt literature is doing more today for the disniption of domestic life than any other cause. Elopements, marital intrigues, sly cor respondence, fictitious names given at postoftice windows, clandestine meetings in parks, and at ferry gates, and in hotel parlors, and conju gal perjuries arc among the damnable results. When a woman, young or eld, gets her head thoroughly stuffed with modern novels "she is in appalling peril. But some one will say: “The heroes are so adroitly knavish, and the persons so bewitchingly untrue, and tlie turn of the story so exquisite, and all the characters so enrapturing, 1 cannot quit them.” My brother, my sister, you can find stylesof litera ture just as charming that will elevate and purify, ami enoble, and Christianize while they please. The devil does not own all the honey. I'here is a wealth of good books coming forth from our publishing houses that leaves no ex cuse for tlio choice of that which is debauching to the body, mind and soul. Go to some intel ligent men or women, and ask for a list of books that will be strengthening to your men tal and moral condition. Rife is so short and your time for improvement so abbreviated that you cannot afford to fill up with husks and cinders mid debris. In the interstices of busi ness that voting man is reading that which will prepare him to boa merchant prince, and that young woman is filling her mind with an intel ligence that will yet either make her the chief attraction of a good mail's homo or give her an indepemience of character that will qualify her to build her own homo and main tain it in a happiness that requires no augmentation from any of cur rough- I er sex. That yoiuij; man or young woman can by the right literary ami moral im- ! proveinent of the snare ten minutes hero or ! there in every day, rise head and shoulders in : prosperity, and character, ami influence above i the loungers who read nothing or read that i which bedwarfs. Seo all the forests of good ! American literature dripping with honey. Why pick up the honeycom’ s that h ive in I them tlie fiery bees which will sting you with an eternal poison while you taste it ? Ono book may for you or me decide everything ‘ for this world or the next. It was a turning point with me when in Wyn koop’s bookstore, Syracuse. one I duv I picked up a book called "The Beauties i of Ruskin.” It was only a book of extracts I but it was all pure hom y, and 1 w.w net satis- ; tied until I had pur. based all his works, at I that time expensi’e beyond an easy capacity to own them, nud wbat.i heaven I went through in reading his “Seven Lamps of Arehileetiiri'." and Ids ‘ Stones cl Venice.” it is impossible for me to describe except by say- J ing that it ga\e me a rapture for good Uooks, 1 and an everiasting disgust for decrepit or ini- ' moral i»»ks that will last me while my im- mortal sou lasts. All around the church and the world today there are busy hives of intelligence occupied by authors and author esses from whose pens drip a distillation which is the very nectar of heaven, and why will you thrust your rod of inquisitiveness into the deathful saccharine of perdition. Stimulating liquids also come into the same category of temptations delicious but deathful. You say : “I cannot bear tlio taste of intoxi cating liquor, and how any man can like it is tome an amazemeut.” Well, then, it, is no credit to yon that you do not take it. Do not brag about your total abstinence, because it is not from any principle that you reject alco holism, but for the same reason that you reject certain styles of food—you simply don’t like the taste of them. But multitudes of people have a natural fondness for all kinds of intoxicants. They like it so much that it makes them smack their lips to look at it. They are dyspeptic, and they take it to aid digestion, or they are annoyed by insomnia, and they take it to produce sleep, or they are troubled, and they take it to make them oblivi ous, or they feel good, and they must celebrate their hilarity. They begin with mint julep, sucked through two straws on the Long Branch piazza, and end in the ditch, taking from a jug a liouid half kerosene and half whisky. They not only like it, but it is an all-consuming passion of body, mind and soul, and after awhile have it they w ill, though one wine glass of it should cost the temporal and eternal destruction of themselves, and all their fami lies, and the whole human race. They would say: “I am sorry it is going to cost me, and my family, and all the world's population so very much, but here it goes to mv lips, and now let it roll over my parched tongue and down ray heated throat, the sweetest, the most inspiring, the most rapturous thing that ever thrilled mortal or immortal.” To cure the habit before it comes to its last stages, various plans were tried in olden times. This plan was recommended In the books: When a man wanted to reform he i>ut shot or bullets into the cup or glass of strong drink—one additional shot or bullet each day, that displaced so much liquor. Bullet after bullet added day by day, of course tlio liquor became less and less until tlio bullets would entirely fill up the glass and there was no room for the liquid, and by that time it was said the inebriate would be cured. Whether anyone ever was cured in that way I know not, but by long experiment it is found that the only way is to stop short off, and when a man does that he needs God to Irelp him. And there have been more cases than you can count when God has so helped the man that he quit forever, and I could count a score of them here todav, some of them pillars in tlie bouse of God. One would suppose that men would take warning from some of the ominous name given to tlie intoxicants, and stand otf from the de vastating influence. You have noticed for in stance that some of the restaurants are called “The Shades,” typical of the fact that it puts a man’s reputation in the shade, and his mor als in the shade, and his prosperity in the shade, and hi; w ifo and children in tlie shade, anil his immortal destiny in tlie shade. Now, I find on some of the liquor signs in all our cities the words “Old Crow,” mightily suggestive of a carcass, and the filthy raven that swoops upon it. “Old Crow!” Men and women without numbers slain of rum, but buried, and this evil is picking at their glazed eyes, and pecking at their bloat ed cheek, and peeking at their destroyed man hood and womanhood, thrusting beak and claw into tlie mortal remains of what was once gloriously alive but now morally dead. “Old Crow!” But alas, how many take no warning. They make me think of Cresar on his way to assassination fearing noth ing; though his statue in the hall crashed into fragments at his feet, and a scroll containing the names of conspirators wore thrust into his hands, yet walking right on to meet the dag ger that was to take his life. This infatuation of strong drink is so mighty in many a man that though his fortunes are crashing, and his health is crashing, and his domestic interests are crashing, and we hand him a long scroll containing the names of perils that await him, he goes straight on to physical, and mental, and moral assassination. In proportion as any style of alcoholism is pleasant to your taste, and stimulating to your nerves, and for a time delightful to all your physical and mental con stitution, is the peril awful? Remember Jonathan and the forbidden honey in the woods of Bethaven. Furthermore, the J gamester’s indulgence must be put in the listof temptations delicious but destructive. I have crossed the ocean eight times, and always one of the best rooms has, from morning till late at night, been given up to gambling practices. I heard of many men who went on board with enough money for European excursion who landed without enough money to get their baggage up to the hotel or railroad station. To many there is a complete fascination in games of hazard or the risking of money on possibilities. It seems as natural for them to bet as to cat. Indeed the hunger for food is often overpowered with tlie hunger for wagers, as in the case of Lord Sand wich, a persistent gambler, who not being will ing to leave tlie dice table long enough lor the taking of food, invented a preparation of food that he could take without stopping the game; namely, a slice of beef between two slices of bread, which was named after Lord Sandwich. It is absurd for those of us who have never felt the fascination of tlie wager to speak slight ingly of the temptation. It lias slain a multi tude of intellectual and moral giants, men and women stronger than you or I. 1 town under its power went glorious Oliver Goldsmith, and Gibbon, tlie historian, and Charles Fox, the statesman, and in olden times famous sena tors of tlie United States, who used to bo as regularly at the gambling bouse all night as I they were in the halls of legislation by day. Oh, the tragedies of the faro table! 1 know persons who began with a slight stake in a ladies’ parlor, and ended with the suicide’s pistol at Monte Carlo. They played with the square pieces of bone with black marks on them, not knowing that Satan was playing for their bones at the same time, and was sure to sweep all the stakes off on his side of the table. The last New York legisla ture sanctioned the mighty evil last spring by passing a law for its defense at the race tracks, and many young men in these cities lost all their wages at Coney Island this summer, and this fali are borrowing from the money tills of their employers, or arranging by means of false entry to adjust their demoralized finances. Every man who voted for the Ives pool bill has on his hands and forehead the blood of these souls. But in this connection some young converts say to me: “Is it right to play cards? Is there any harm in a game of whist or euchre?” Well, I know good men who play whist and euchre, and other styles of game without any wagers. I had a friend who played, cards with his wife and children, and then at the close, said: “Come, now, let us have prayers.” I will not judge other men's consciences, but I tell you that cards are in my mind so associated with the temporal and eternal damnation of splendid young men, that 1 should no sooner say to my family: “Come, let us have a game of cards,” than I would go into a menagerie and say: ‘Conic, let us have a game of rattlesnakes,” or into a cemetery, and sitting down by a marble slab, say to the grave diggers: “Come, let us have a game of skulls.” Conscientious young ladies are silently saying to mo while I speak : “Do you think car l playing will do us any harm’?” Perhaps not, but how will you fed if in the great day of eternity, when we are asked to give an account of our influ ence, some man shall say to you: “I was in troduced to games of chance in the year 1887, in Brooklyn, at your bouse, and I went on from that sport to something more exciting, and went on down until I lost my business,and lost ray morals, and lost my soul, and these chains that you see on my wrists and feet are the chains of a gamester's doom, and lam on my way to a gambler's l-.e11.” Money at the start, eternal catastrophe at the last. Stock gambling conies into tlie same cata logue. It must be verv exhilarating to go into I W.i'.i stn ■ t. New York, or State str < t, Bos- I ton, or Third street, Philadelphia, and deposit- I ing a small sum ot money, run th” risk of tak ing out a fortune. Many men are doing an | honest and safe business in the sto.-k mark. t. and yon are an ignoramus if you do not know that it is just as legitimate t”'<le.il in stocks as ' to deal in coffee, or sugar or flour. But nearly ’ all the outsiders wh" go there eu a little :inaii- ! cial excursion lose all? The old rs .. u ~,, ; tlie unsn-p.-'ting fl-os. 1 had a friend who ' put his hand on his hip pocket and said to me I in substance: “1 h.i o ti-.nre the value of a ■ hundred and fifty thous’nd dollars.” His i h< me is today penniless. What was the mat- | ter? Wall street. Os the vast majority who are victimized you hear net ouo 'word. I One great stock firm goes down, and whole columns of newspapers discuss their fraud, or their dis- aster, and we are presented with their features and their biography. But where one such fam°us firm sinks, five hundred unknown men sink with them. The great steamer goes down and all the little boats are swallowed in tha same ongulfment. Gambling is gambling, whether in stocks or breadstaffs, or dice or race track betting. Exhilaration at the start, and a raving brain and a shattered nervous system, and a sacrificed property, and a destroyed soul at the last. Young man, buy no lottery tickets, purchase no prize packages, bet on no baseball games or yacht racing, have no faith in luck, answer no mysterious circulars proposing great income for small investments shoo away the buzzards that hover aroung our hotels trying to entrap strangers. Go out and mrke an honest living. Have God on your side and be a candidate for heaven. Remem ber all the paths of sin are banked with flow ers at the start, and there are plenty of helpful hands to fetch the gay charger to your door aud hold the stirrup while you mount. But further on the horse plunges to the bit in a slough inextricable. Tlie best honey is not like that which Jonathan took on the end of the rod and brought to his lips, but that which God puts on the banqueting table of Mercy, at which we are all invited to sit. I was reading of a boy among the mountains of Switerland ascending a danger ous place with his father and the guides. The boy stopped on the edge of the cliff and said: “There is a flower I mean to get.” “Come away from there,” said the father, “you will fall off.” “No,” said he, “I must get that beautiful flower,” and the guides rushed to ward lnm to pull him back, when they heard him say: “I almost have it,” as he fell two two thousand feet. Birds of prey were scon a few days after circling through the air and lowering gradually to the place where tlie corpse lay. Why seek flowers off the edge of a precipice when you may walk knee deep amid the full blooms of tlie very Paradise of God ? When a miin may sit at a king’s banquet, why will he go down the steps and contend for the gristle and bonesofa hound’s kennel? “Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb,” says David, “is the truth of God.” “With honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee,” says God to tlie recreant. Here is honey gathered from the blossoms of trees of life, and w ith a rod made out of the wood of the cross I dip it up for all your souls. The poet Hesoid tolls of an ambrosia and a nectar tlie drinking of which would make men live forever, and one sip of this honey from tlie Eternal Rock w-ill give you immortal lifo wiiii God. Come off of the malarial levels of a sinful life. Come and live on the uplands of grace where the vineyards sun themselves. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is gracious. Be happy now and happy forever. For thoso who take a different course the honey will turn to gall. For many things I have ad mired Percy Shelley, the groat English poet, but I deplore the fact that it was a great sweetness to him to dishonor God. The poem “Queen Slab” lias in it tlie maligning of tlio Deity. The infidel poet was impious enough to ask for Rowland Hill's Surrey Chapel that he might denounce the Christian religion. Ho was in great glee against God and the truth >#' But lie visited Italy, and one day on the MecF* iterranean with two friends iu a boat which was twenty-four feet long he was coming toward shore when an hour’s squall struck tlie water. A gentleman standing on shore,through a- glass, saw many boats tossed in this squall, but all outrode the terror ex cept one. that in which Shelley, the infidel poet, and his two friends w ere sailing. That never came ashore, but the bodies of two of the occupants were washed upon the beach, one of them the poet A funeral pyre was built on the seashore by some classic friends, and the two bodies were consumed. Poor Shelley, ho would have no God while ha lived, and he probalily had no God when he died. “Ths Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” P¥i re -~=r ; 7 X. <.
