the Enraged snul »"«» David, the Har
piat-An Unusual sermon.
erntelc Rev. Dr- Talmage bioiie.ni hi a
was:
Before Jehovah’s awful throne
The nations, bow with sacred joy.
The subject announced was: Harp . n ,
Javelin,•• the text, being 1 baiuue ,1b 1
chapter, 10th and 11th verses. AndD.uid ,
p.aved with his baud as at other aim's, <
ami there was a javelin in hauls hand. .
And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, 1
will smite David even to the wall wild it.
Ami David avoided out of ms presence
V "\Vhat a spectacle for all ages!
Saul a giant and David a
dwarf. An unfortunate war oailad had
been composed and sung eulogiz.ng Datid
above Saul. That song threw Saul into a
paroxysm of rage, which brougnt on o.ne
of his old spells of insanity, to which he
had been subject. If one is disposed to
some physical ailment, and he get real mad,
it is very apt to bring on one ot Ins old
attacks. Saul is a. raving maniac and he
goes to imitating the false prophets or
sibyls, who kicked and gesticulated wilgly
when thev pretended to be foretelling
events. Whatever the physicians of the
royal staff may have prescribed for the
disordered king, 1 know not, but. David
prescribed music. Having keyed up his
harp, his fingers began to pull the rhythm
from the vibrated strings. Thrum! i nrum.
Thrum! No use. The king would not
listen to the exquisite candences. He lets
flv a. javelin, expecting to pin the mustrel
to the wall, but David dodged the w-tpon
and kept on. for he was confident flat he
could, as before, subdue Saul’s ba 1 spirit
by music. Again the javelin is flung and
David dodges it and departs. Whit a con
trast. Roseate David with a harp t.nd
enraged Saul with a javelin. Who would
not rather play the one than fling the
other? But that was not the only time
in the world’s history that. h.irp and jav
elin met. Where their birthplace was
I cannot declare. It is said that the lire
was first suggested by the tight drawing
of the sinews of a tortoise across its shell,
and that the flute was first suggested by
the blowing* of the wind across a bed ot
reeds, and that the ratio of musical inter
vals was first suggested to Pythagoras by
the different hammers on the anvil of the
smithv, but the harp seeing, to me to have
dropped out of the sky and the javelin to
have been thrown up from the pn- { *ie
oldest stringed instrument of tne world is
the harp. Jubal sounded his harp in the
book of Genesis. David played ( ’ f ,
his psalms on the harp while he sang
them The captives in Babylon hung then
harps on the willow*. Josephus celebrated
the invention of the ten-stringed harp.
Timotheus, ifce Millian .was nnprisoned
for adding fro twelfth string to the harp
because too much luxury oi sound might
enervate the people. Egyptian harps, ,-em
tish harps, Welsh harps, Irish harps, haxe
been celebrated. What an itispire.l triangle.
Everlasting honors to Sebastian
who. by pedals invented, cal ed the fool
•is well as the band to the harp. NA her

discharged him for his genius tlie empmyei

JAV .Hb harp has a richness of its own,
and will continue its mission through all
time and then take part in celestial sym
phonies, for St. John said he heard' in
heaven the harps of God.
But the javelin of my text is just as old
it is about five feet and a half lons, with
wooden handle and steel point, keen and
sharp But it belongs to the great family
of death-dealers, and is, brother to sword
and spear and bayonet, and first cousin to
all the implements that wound and slay
It has cut its way through the ages, it
was old when Saul, in the scene of my text
tried to harpoon David. It has gashed’
the earth with grave trenches. Its keen
tip is reddened with the blood of American
wars, .English wars, German wars, Russian
wars, French wars, Crusader wars, and
wars of all nations and of all ages. The
structure of the javelin shows what it was
made for. The plowshare is sharp, but
aimed to cut the earth in preparation for
harvests. Ihe lightning rod is sharp, but
aimed to disarm the lightnings and secure
satety. Ihe ax is sharp, bql aimed to fell
tuHTn 8 R 'vl C r t K -‘ Wi , ly for human habi
tation. lhe knife is sharp, but aimed to
, ti, y br t a<l for sustenance. But the
javelni is sharp only to open human ar
teries and extinguish human eyesight and
take human life and fill the earth with the
cries ot orphanage and widowhood and
childlessness Oh, lam so glad that mv
text brings them so close together that
ye win see the contrast between the harp
and the javelin The one to soothe, the
other to hurt; the one to save, the other
to destroy; file one dhine, the other dia
bolic, the one to play, the other to hurl;
’u ono in David s skillful hand, the other
in Sauls fvrathf nl dutch. Mav God
speeii the harp, may God grind into dullness
the sharp edge of the javelin!
how what does all this make you think
of. It suggests to me music as a medicine
for physical ami mental disorders. David
took hold of the musical instrument which
u‘ best knew how to playjind evoked from
it sounds which were for King Saul’s di
version and medicament. But, you sav,
t.ie treatment m this ease was a failure
th aS U falh,re ‘ s -''Ul refused to
take the medicine. A whole apotheearx
shop of curative drugs will do nothing
Ouard healing your illness if you refuse to
tak ‘‘tlm medicine. It was not the fault
of Davids prescription, but the fault of
Saul s obstinacy. David, one of the wisest
and best of fill ages, stands before us m
the text administering music for nervous
disorder ami cerebral disturbance. And
David was right. Music is the mightiest
force in all therapeutics. Us results mav
not be seen as suddenly as other forms of
cure, (mt H is just as wonderful. You
Mill never know how much suffering and
sorrow music has assuaged and healed
A somier in the United States aruiv said
flint on the days the regimental band placed
near the hospitals all toe sick and wound.d
revived, and men who were so lame
they could not walk before, got tip
and went out and sat in the sunshine, and
those so dispirited that they never expected
| to get home began to pack their bagga-e

I a .1 c ■ tral:i - Theodosius, the emperor,
I Mrathful at the behavior of the people of
I Aiiliocb, who, on some sudden provocation
I tore down the statues of the emperor ami
; empress, resolved to sorely punish them,’but
the bishop, knowing that the emperor had
! a j group of boys sing to him while eatin<’ at
the table, taught the boys a plaintive song
in which the people lamented \heir bad be
havior, and the king, under ,«. e pathos of
the music cried out: "Th,. city of Antioch
is forgiven. '1 he rage of Achilles was as
suaged by a harp. Asclepiades swayed re
bellious multitudes by a harp. After the
battle of Yorktown, when a musician was
to stiffer amputation, and before the days
of anesthetics, the wounded artist called for
a music::! instrument ami lost not a note
fluring the forty minutes of amputation,
h Hippo I alma, the great musician, con
fronted by an angry creditor, played so en
c::ant’.ngly before bun that the creditor for
gave thy debt and gave the debtor 10 guin
eas more tv appease other creditors. ~ An
eminent physician of olden time contended
(of course carrying our theory too tai) tliat
all ailments of the world could be cured by
music. The medical journals never i ,c P° r ;
thuir recoveries by this mode. i»ut in axiku
twilight hour has many a saint of God sol
ace! a hearteaclie with a hymn hummed oi
sung or played! Jerome, of Prague, sang
while burniii-; at the stake, liver w oat keys
of piano or organ consolation has walKeii.
Yea, in church one hymn has rolled peace
over a thousand of tlm worried, perplexed
and agonized. While there arc hymns and
tunes ready for the jubilant, there is a rich
hvmnology for the suffering—’’Naomi, ami
“Eventide” and “Autumn Leaves and
“Come Ye Disconsolate,’ and whole poitto
lios and librettos of tears set to music. A
the wonderful triumphs of surgery and all
the new modes of successful treatment
physical and mental disorders are discussed
in medical conventions and
abroad in medical hooks. and it is
high lime that some of the millions of souls
that have been medicated by music, vocal
and instrumental, let the world know w ,
power there is in sweet sound, whether roll
ing from lip or leaping, from tightem 1
chord or ascending from ivory key. Mu
sic is a universal language. At Ihe foot
of the tower of Babel language, was split
into fragments never to he again put to
gether. but one thing was not hurt, and fat
is music, ami it is lhe same all the w rid
over Last suiumcr in Russia, at a waiei
in- place. we wore greeted as we
entered the groat auditorium, vvhicli was
tilled with thousands of R ’.’ srl, ?’’ s '
language I could not understand any mor
than thev could understand mine. But af
ter the grand hand had. out of compliment
to US. Ijlaved our two great American ans.
T stepped’on the platform and «a'<l to Iho
bandmaster. “Russian air! R ' ISS ; II
air!” and then ho tapped Mitl Ins
baton on the music rack, and vith a
snlendor and majesty of power that al
mos? made us quail, the full band poured
forth their national anthem. The. m J
: stood our American music and w n 'l'l
■ stood their Russian music. It is anim 1 .-ai
■ b ncuage and so good for umvci-sal cure.
I I should not. wonder if in the day of judg-
a mont it should be found out th. >ote
. i.nvo boon saved by music than h.
rje uhiug I should not wonder if. out of
tlio one hundred and forty and four thou
sand ransomed souls that John foresaw
before the throne of God. at least one hun
dred and thirtv thousand had been staged
bv sweet song.’ AVhy does not the ehuren on
earth take the hint? Heaven is the great
nmsical center of the universe, the place
of doxologies and trumpets and haips. a.id
in preparation for that place we ought to
nrike more of music on earth. The hand
of music at Waterloo played the tetie.it
of the Forty-second Highlanders back to
their places.’and sacred music has returned

It was the song:

till, Revenge on Christian’s tongue or

against whom it is employed. What' V

my father and have practiced it all mv
lite, and it works well, and bv the help
of God and javelins not picked up [ have

best thing you can do with a javelin hurl

Soy also in my subject that the fact
that a man sometimes dodges is not
against his courage. My text says that
when Saul assailed him, "David avoided
out of his presence twice.” that is, when I
he i.ivpiin was flung, he stepped out of
ns direction or bom this way or tha? in
other words, he dodged. lint all those
who have read the life of David know
that lie yas not lacking in prowess. David
had faults but fowardiee was not one of
them. Alien David, who -was, I guess
about four feet and a half high, went out ;
to meet the giant, who was. I guess, about 1
ten feet high, it was a big undertaking. :
and tne inequalities of the struggle were 1
sp sreat that it struck the giant’s idea of 1
