TALMAGE’S SERMON
AT TTIE BEOOKLTH TA TtERNACL,E
LAST SUXDAY.
“From Conquest to Conquest,” Formed the
Subject of a Most Eloquent Discourse.
Christianity Not Retrograding.
Brooklyn, N. A'.. March 18.—In the taber
nacle today Lev. Dr. Talnuigo preached
a most eloquent and characteristically vig
orous sermon iu refutation of the ott-re
newed assertion of the enemies of religion
that Christianity is retrograding and the
Bible losing its hold upon the hearts and
consciences of men. The subject of the dis
course as announced was: ’’From Conquest
to Conquest,'’ the text being taken from
Arnos 9:1'1, “Behold the day's crime, saith
the Lord, that the ploughman shall over
take the reaper.”
Picture of a tropical clime with a season
so prosperous that tin- harvest reach-s
clear over to the planting- time, and the
swarthy husbandman swinging the sickle
in the thick grain almost feels the breath,
of the horses on his shoulders, the horses
hitched to the plough pr paring lor a new
crop. ''Behold, the day's come, saith :he
Lord, that the ploughman shall overtake
the reaper.” When is that? That is now.
That is this day when hardly have you
done reaping- one harvest before the plough
man is getting ready tor another.
I Know that many declare that Christian
ity lias collapsed, that the Bible is an obso
lete book, that the Christian church is on
the retreat. 1 will here ami now show that
the opposite of that is true.
Au .Arab guide was leading a Bren h
inlidel across a desert, and ever and anon
tlie Arab guide would get down in tlm
sand ami pro.y to the Lord. It disgusted
French infidel, and after awhile as the
-Arab got up from one ol his prayers the
inßlel said: "How do you know "there is any
(•oil." and the Arab guide said: ' How do
I know that a man ami a camel passed
along our tent last night? I know it by
the footprints in the sand. And you want
to know how I know wh-'ther there is any
God. Look at that sunset. Is that the
footstep of a man?” And by the same
process you and I have come to under
stand that this book is the footstep ol' a
But now let us see whether the Bible is, a
last year s almanac. Let us see whether
the church of God is in a. Bull itun retreat,
muskets, canteens, ami haverwiiks strew
ing all the way. The great Hnglish histo
rian, Sharon Turner, a man ol vast learing
ami ol great accuracy, not. a clergyman,
but an attorney', as well as a historian,
gives this overwhelming statistic in regard
to <’hristianity- and in regard to the num
ber of Christians iu the ditl'erent centuries.
In the first century, 50TWH Christians; in the
second century. 2,oo'J,ouu Christians; in the
third century. o.liOil.Oixi Cnrist.ans; in the
fourth century, lu,O<M),O00 Christians; in the
fifth century, 15.0u0.0i10 Christians; in the
sixth, century, do.uoo.oo) Christians; m tile
seventh century. 21,000.000 Christians; in the
' ig'iitli century, ttii.iiiio.aoo (’liristians; in the
ninth century, io,n,io,ooii Christians; in me
tenth century, so.ilOO.Onii Christians; in the
en-venth century. 70,000,000 Christians; in tim
twelfth century-, 80,000,0e0 <'hristians; in the
thirteimth centiiry, is,*ii>o,ot’9 < hristian -; in
the fourteenth century, 80,000,000
’ hristians; m the n.'ieenth cent-
1 ' '" ' ■ . tm six
teenth century-, 125,000,000 Christians; in
tin- seventeenth century, |ss,i)ih>,ooi> Chris
tians; in the eighteenth century 200,000,000
Christians—a decadence, as you observe,
up in the following centuries, while it is
the usual computation that there will be
when the record of the ;nne', •• -utli century'
is made up, at least ii 00.000,000 I'hristiam".
Door Christianity! What a pity it has n>
triends. How lonesome it must be. Who
will take i t out ()t - t[ll , po(ir house? Boor
Christianiry. Three hundred millions in
om? century. In a few weeks of the y. ar
issi 2.500,000 copies of the New Testament
distributed. Why, the earth is like an
Old eastb with twenty gates ami a park of
artilb ry ready to thunder down every gate.
Lay aside all Christendom and see itow
heathendom is being surrounded ami honey
combed and attacked by this all-eonqm r
ing gospel. At I In- beginning of this cen
tury tliere were only 150 missionaries;
now tlu re are 25,000 missionaries ami
native helpers ami evangelists. At the
beginning of ibis century there were only
50,000 heathen converts; now there are
1.7.i0,000 vir.verts from lieathendorn. Th; re
is not a seacoast on the plane! but tlm bat
tery of the ; pl nt< 1 and ri>a.dy to
march on nortn, south, east, west. You
all know that the chief work of an army
is to plant the batteries. H may take many
days to plant the batteries ami they may
do all their work in t; n minutes. These
batteries are being planted all along the
sea-coasts ami in al! nations. It may- take
a good while to plant them ami they may
do all their Work in one day. They' will.
Nations are to be born in a day. But just
come back to Christendom ami recognize
the fact that during tin- last ten years
as many people have connected themselves
with evangilieal churches as connected
themselves with the churches in the first
fifty' years of this century.
So Christianity is falling back, and the
Bible, limy' say, is becoming an obsolete
book. 1 go into a court and wherever 1.
find a judge’s bench or a clerk’s desk 1
find a Bibb'. I’pon what book could there
be uttered the solemnity of an oath? W hat
book is apt to be put in the trunk of tin
young man as he leaves for city life? Tim
Bible, What shall 1 find in nine out of every'
ti n homes in Brooklyn'.’ The Bible. In nine
out of every ten homes in Christendom?
The Bible. Voltaire wrote tin- prophecy
that tlm Bible in tin- nineteenth century
would beconm extinct. Tlm centiiry is near
ly gone, and as there hav • been more Bildes
published in the latter part of the century
than in tlie former part of tlm Century,
do you think that tlm Bible will become
extinct in the next six years'.’ I have to
tell you that the room in "‘.lti' it V'dtuire
wrote that prophecy not long ago was
crowded from Hoot- to ceiling with Bibles
from Switzerland. Suppose th congress
of the United States should pass a law
that there should b'.- no mor>- Bibles print*- I
in America, and no more Bibles read. If
there are forty million grown people in tlie
United States there would be forty million
people in an arn ; teh a law
and defend their right o r*-ad the Bible.
But suppose the congress of the United
States should make a law- against th-- read
ing or publication of any other book how
many people would go out in such a cru
sade? Could you get forty million people
to go out and risk their lives in defense
of Slmk'-spi-.-ir- 's tragedies, or Gladstone s
tracts. or"-Maeaulay’s History if England’."
You know that til.-re are a thousand men
who would die in defense of this .book
where tin re is not more than one man' who
would die in defense of any other book.
Y'iiu tie to insult my common sense by tell
ing me that the Bible is fading out from
the world. It is the must popular book ol
the century. J low do I know it? I know
it just as 1 know in regard to other books.
How many volumes of that b iok are pub
lished? Well, you say, live thousand. How
many' copies of that, book are published?
A hundred thousand. Which is the more
popular? Why. of course the one that lias
a hundred thousand eiri illation. Am! if
tiiis book has more copies abroad in tin'
world; it there are live times as many
Bibles abroad as any other book does not
that show you that the most popular liook
on the planet today is the Word of God?
“Oh," say people, “the church is a col
lection of hypocrites, an! it is losing ils
[i.iwer and it is fading out from the world.”
is it? A bishop of tin- Metb.'ulist emn’vh
told me that, that • |.«r.i uni mt tion averages
two new churches every day of the year.
There are at least fifteen Tin ml rod new
Christian churches built in America overy
year. Does that look as though the ebureli
was fading out. as though it wire a defunct
institution? Which institution stands near
est the in arts of tin- people o' America
today? I do not care in what village or in
what city or in wliat neighborhood you
go. Which institution is it? Is it the post
office? Is it fife hotel ? Is it th< lecturing
hall? All. you know- it is not You know
that the institution which stands nearest
the hearts of the American people is the
Christian church. If you have < ver seen
a church burn down yen have seen thou
sands of people standing ..ml looking at
it -people who never go into a ehtti' li -
the (oars raining down their cheeks. The
whole story is I dd.

there is a song to be sung at the obsequies
what do you want? What does anybody
want? Tlie Marseillaise hyuin? Gotl Save

No, they want the hymn with which they
sang their old Christian mother into her
last sleep, or they want sung' tne Sabbath
school hymn which their little girl sang the
last Saboath afternoon she was out before
she got that awful sickness which broke
your heart. 1 appeal to your common
sense. You know ine most endearing in
stitution on earth—the most popular insti
tution on earth today is the church of
tm- Bci'il Jesus Christ.
The infidels say: “Infidelity shows its
successes from the fact that it is every
where accepted, ami it can say what it
will.” Why, my friends, infidelity is not
half so blatant in our day as it was in the
"lays of our- fathers. Do you know that tn
the days of our fathers there were pro
nounced infidels in public authority and
! they could get any political position.’ Let
• a man today declare himself antagonistic
to the Christian religion, and what city
wants him for mayor, what state wants
him for governor, what nation wants him
for president or forking? Let a man open-
| ly proclaim himself the enemy of our glo
rious (’hristianity and he cannot get a ma
joritv of votes in any state, in any city, in
anv "countv, in any ward ol America.
Do you think that such a. scene could lie
enacted now as was enacted in the days 01.
Robespierre, when a shameless woman was
elevated as a. goddess, ami was carriefl tn
a golden eiiair to a cathedral where mi’otise
was burned to her ami people bowed down
before her as a divine being, slm taking the
Place of tlm Bible, ami Gm! Almighty, while
m Hie corridor of that cathedral were en
acted such scenes of drunkenness and de
iiam-hery ami obscenity as have never been
wit cessed ? Do you 111 lieve sm-h a thing
emibi misi-ibiv occur in Christendom today .
No sir The police, whether of Baris, or
New'York, would swoop on it. 1 know in
fidelity makes a good deal of talk 111
da\ It is on the principle that if a man

whole line.”
And then I tin*! another most encourag
in'., thought in the fact that the secular
m inting press ami pulpit seem harness* d m
lie am*- team for the proclamation **i tne
m.spel.' (every Wall str.-et banker tomor
row in New fork, evi-ry State street bank* .
tomorrow in Boston, every I bird street

I banker in tlie' United Slates, ami every
im-i-ehant will haw- in his pocket treatise
on Christianity, a call to repentance, ter.,
tw-.-ntv, or thirty passages of scripture tn
tin- reports of sermons preached throughout
these cities ami throughout the l.uiil -oday.
It will b< so in Chicago, so in New’ (>:leans,
I so in Charleston, so in Boston, so in Bhtla
! ilelnhia so everywhere. I know tin- tract
i societies are doing a grand and glorious
• work, tint I tell you there is i o pow, r on
i earth today equal to the fact that the
American printing press is taking t.p the
- : . rmons w nii ti are preached to a tew hur.-
d!<d or a ft-w thousand people, ami on
.\iomla-. morning ami Monday evening, m
tim morning ami evening papers, scattering
that truth to tlm millions. What a thong.it
it is! What an encouragement for every
Christian man!
Besides that, have you notice*! that during
th,- post t'-w years every one of tlie doc
trines of the Bililc came under discussion in
tli.. secular press? Do you not remember ;»
few years ago when every paper in the
United States had an editorial on the sub
ject: “Is there such a tiling as future pun
ishment?” 'll was the strangest tliin.i
that there should boa, discussion in tlie
secular napers on that subje--t. but every
paper in the United States and in Christen
dom discussed: “Is there such a thing al
retribution?” I know there were small
i wits who made sport of tit* discussion, but
i there was not an intelligent man on earth
who, as the result of that discussion, did
not ask hiinself tlie question: “What is go
ing to be my eternal destiny?” So 11 w *‘s t a
regard to Tyndall's prayer gauge. About
twelve years ago yon remember tne secular
; papers discussed that, anti with just an
| much earnestness 'as the religious papers,
j anti there was not a man in Chrislemdorn
who did not ask himself the question: “1:1
there anything in prayer? May the < rea-*
ture impress the Creator?” Oh, what a
mighty tact, what a glorious fact, the seem
lar printing press and the pulpit <■!' th•»
ehureh of Jesus Christ harnessed in tlie
same team.
j Then look at tlie international .-.cries ot
Sunday School lessons. Do von blow
that every* Sabbath between 3 ami .’> o <•.**< k,
* there are five million children study-*
ing the same lesson, a lesson pre,mi r-d l*.v
the leading- minds of the country, and print

I put on the witness stand to testify’ iii

not a thousand, not a million, but all of the
ehureh on earth’ and all the redeemed in

You tell me James A. Garfield was in
augurated president of the t nited States
on the Ith of March, 1881. How do 1 know
* it! You tell me tliere were 2l>,(W persons
■ who distinctly heard his inaugural address.

1 diil not hear it. But you say that there
j wi re 2i),<W persons who di,l see ami hear

I not see and hear him. Whose testimony

,ny of the 20.U00 persons who stood be

common s.-nse dictates. Now, here ,
*o<*are some iron w’ho say they have never
I seen Christ crowned in the heart and th*sy
I do not believe it is ever done. There is a
! group of men who say they have never
j heard the voice of Christ —they have never
I heard the voice of God. They' do not be
lieve it ever transpire,!, or was ever het.rd
—that anything like it ever occurretl. L
point to twenty, a hundred thousand or a
million people who say, “Christ was
crowned in our heart’s affections; we have
seen hint and felt him in our soul, and rye
have heard hife voice; w** have heard it in
storm ami darkness; we have heard it
again and again. Whose testimony will
you take? These men, who say tliey have
not hearil the voice of Christ, have not -
seen the coronation, or will you take the
thousands ami millions of Christians who
testify- of what tlu-y saw with their own
eves ami heard with their own ears?
'Yonder is an aged Christian after fifty
years' experience of the power of godliness
in his soul. Ask this man whether, when
he buried his dead, tlie religion of Jesus
Christ was not a consolation. Ask him if
through the long years ot his pilgrimage
tin- Lord ever forsook him. Ask him when !
he looks forward to the future if Im has
not a- pem-e ami a joy ami a consolation tlie
world cannot take away. But his testi
mony of what he has seen and what he has
felt opposite to tlm testimony of a man
w ho says he lias mil seen anything on the
subject or fell anything on the subject.
Will you take the testimony of people who
have not se* i n, or people wito have seen?
You say’ morphia puts one to sleep, you
sa v in time **l sickness it is \ *-ry itselul.
j deny it- Morphia never puts anybody
to sleep, it m ver alleviates pain. 5 ,*u ask
me Why 1 say that. I have never tried it,
1 never took it. I deny that morphia is any
soothing to tlie nerves, or any quiet in *
times of sickness. I deny that morphia
ever put anybody to sleep; but here are
i twenty* persons who say’ they hav,- all telt
tlie soothing- effects of a physician's pre
scribing morphine. Whose testimony; will
vmi take? Those who took the medicine,
or mv testimony, I never having taken tim
medicine. Here is the gospel ot Jesus
i Christ, an anodyne for all trouble, tin
mightiest medicine that ever came down ;
I to" earth. Here is a. man who says: “I ‘
don't believe in it; there is no power in it.”
i Here are othei' people who say. "We have
found out its power ami know its sooth- !
ing intlm-nee; it lias cured us." Whose tes
timony will you take in regard to this I
healing medicine?
j feel that I have convinced every’ man in i
this house that it is utter folly' to take i
the testimony of those who have never ■
tried Ute gospel of Jesus Christ in their |
own heart and life. We have tens of thou- I
sands of witnesses. I believe you are ready ,
to take their testimony. Young man, do I
not be ashamed to be a friend of the Bi- ,
ble. Do not put your thumb in your vest,
as young men sometimes do, and swagger |
about, talking of the glorious light of the I
nineteenth century, and of tliere being no *
need of a. Billie. They have the light of 1
nature in India and China and in ail the j
dark places on earth. Did you ever hear !
that, the light of nature gave them com
fort for their trouble? Tliey have lancets
to cut and juggernauts to crash, but no
comfort. Ah! my friends, you had belt r
stop your skepticism. Supnose you are put
in this crisis. O father! Your child is dy
ing? What are you going to say to her.
Colonel Ethan Allen was a famous infidel
in his day', ills wife was a. very- conse
crated woman. The mother instructed the
daughter in the truths of Christianity. Tlm I
daughter sickened ami was about, to die. I
and she said to her father: "Father, shall !
I take your instruction, or shall 1 ink*-
; mother's instruction? I am going- to die
1 now; 1 must have this matter deeided."
'H at man, who had been loud in Irs inti
j delity, said to his dying daughter: ".My
; dear, you had better take your mother's
! religion.” My advice is the same to vou, .
1 () young man. you had better take your
I mother's religion. You know how it
I comforted her. You know what she *
; said to you when she was dying. You 1

Anotdier Lost Cause is Mourned.
Rio de Janeiro. March l:;.-(Copyrighted,
1894, by tlie Associated Dress.) -Today at 1-
o'clock, precisely, the bar fortress opened
fire upon Fort \ illegaignon. In a short
time the government forces at Fort At
macao and Fort Gragoatan joined in tne
bombardment. The fire was not returned
by tlie insurgents. The bombardment was
continued until 3 o’clock, when i. ,'I'* 1 '*' a! ' f '' ’
Castello, San Benito, Saude, ' urveilo and
at. the city batteries then opened a tiirious
fire upon Fort Villegaignon and tm- insur
gent's warship Tarnauoara. ine ill* was
also directed upon tlie insurgent -.-*-ks at
Cobras island, and at other places.
The forces at Enchanaes lowered the hos
pital flag and hoisted tlie insurgent ensign.
Tlie garrison 'it Goveronr's island also took
part in the attack on Fort Villegaignon,
which was badly hammered by the govern
ment guns. The works on Cobras island
took lire, but the flames were soon extin
guished.
The firing of the batteries lasted for an
hour. No great damage was done. The in
surgents did not fire a shot, husbanding
their ammunition. At 4 o’clock the govern
ment licet appeal'd off the harbor, the tor
pedo boat Aurora leading. The '.ther vessels
in the licet were the Nictheroy, Ameri'-a,
Itai.pu. Bahai, Tirandentes and I’arnahyba
and two steamers and five torpedo boats.
Ihe Nt liite Flag;.
Immediately upon the appearance of the
squadron, the rebels hauled down the white
ensign from one of the sprits, which was
lying near Enchandas, and h listed a sig
nal, which was answered from ashore. A
launch containing an officer then went from
one insurgent ship to another and each
vessel lowered the white flag.
Two torpedo boats from the government
fleet outside then entered the bay.
One of them went to Fort Villegaignon
and it was shortly followed by’ the launch
from tlm rebel ship. A few minutes later
tlie white ensign came down from tin- tort
and at a quarter to R o’clock the govern
ment fleet camo up the bay, being a wel
come sight to th * anxious people on shore.
The war is practically' over and the cause
of the insurgents is a lost one. There is
much rejoicing in this city at the culmina
tion of the struggle which has continued so
many months, with no object seemingly
but to hamper business and destroy prop
' '’l'ho rebel forces have surrendered uncon
ditionally, almost without firing a shot.
'Die officers of the insurgents’ fleet have
taken refuge on board French and Portu
guese warships. One French v* ss, 1 has put
to sea with many of the rebel officers on |
board.
Great Rejoicing' in Rio.
The greatest excitement prevails In the
city. The streets are crowded and every
where can be heard the cry ’ Viva Deix
oto!” For the last two days the streets
have been packed with people and all the
available trucks and handcarts hav,* been
busy carrying l household goods and personal
effects out of the city.
Tlie tram cars have been jammed until this
noon when it was learned that the strug
gle was over. This was most joy I ill news
to the people who fully’ expected that a. bat
tle was at hand. There has been much suf
fering in the city. All business houses have
been closed, and it has been very difficult
to get food. The whole available police
force has been on duty constantly, but there
has been little disturbance. Almost the
whole population is gathered in tin- center
of the city. Probably 100,000 persons have
left the city.

and President Peixoto appealed, it is said,
to the Portuguese government to instruct
its minister to order the surrender of the
insurgent officers. \\ hetlu r a reply lias

be d -iinitely stated, but this afternoon the

put to sea. It had been thougth in some
quarters that if the vessels attempted to
leave the bay witli the fugitives on board
trouble would come. There was not, how
ever, the slightest opposition made to their
departure, an*! as a matter of fact, trouble
arising from litis source, was never proba
ble. The destination of the warships is
not known. It is conjectured that they
will go south to Montex ,-i io and land rue

are so disposed, join the insurgents in the ;

the government.
Anything said regarding their movement,
is, however, merely speculative. The fact
that Admiral da Gama and his .'fib ers have
succeeded in getting out of the bay is a
matter of great rejoicing among their
friends in this city. There Is : o doubt in
the minds of anybody that had the ad
miral been surrendered to the government,
his trial by a drum-head courtmat tial would |
have quickly followed.

CLES OF OI.D.
A LiHlcGirl Sit tiers Terri hf<* Ngony f f>r
1 ears— Physicians Sahl She V oulfl
Die—Cured at Last—Her
Says It Is ti Miracle.
I From 'Die Taunton, Mass., Gazette.
The following story needs no comment
* whatever. It is the town talk in Wrent
, ham. Mass., and tlie child s mother tells
It as follows. Mrs. Fuller said: “.tv
daughter is now eight years old. When she
was four years old she had rheumatic fe
ver, and at once she was stricken helpless-
I she went front bad to worse until v.e afl
I despaired of ever seeing her about a ;
I employed at different times physicians
I of Foxboro, Franklin and Attleboro, but all
! to no practical benefit. I gave her all sorts
; of medicines, and this spring I buri* q over
i two bushels of empty bottles which she
| 'had emptied front time to time. One do,-.
I tor who attended her said that site It,ci
liver complaint and dropsy, am! that she
was going to die. J had given up all hope
myself when last March 1 happened to get
hold of an Albany, N. Y., paper, and there
I read of the yvonderful cure of a man
tip that way by a medicine known as Dr.
Williams’s Pink Pills, tlie patient ha.’r r
been afflicted as my daughter wfi.s. At
that time iter legs were drawn up behind
* her, and iter arms were almost help D-.
Her head was drawn down on her shoulder
and she was a pitiful sight, I. tell you.
“I sent and got two bottles of Pirk Fi*!s,
and when she had used th, tn up I thought
J could sec just a bit of improvement. Tb-u
I got two more and she began to lift her
1* self in bed, and to help herself in oth* r
ways. She kept on taking tli** pill-, ;m 1
now she is able to go over to the n<-ig!il>* *t s,
and is bright and smart. She was a liv
ling skeleton; tliere was nothing to her but
bones, and they were all out of shape.
When she was first taken siek she was
I out of her head, and for three years, if you
will believe me, it was. an utter impossi
bility for me to catch more than five min
utes’ sleep at a time, so much care was
she, and such constant attention did she
require, and I was the only one she. would
let wait upon her. But I am glad I did so,
and now I am getting my r ward,” and
the fond, patient, faithful lit'l* woman
glanced with pride and pleasure to ’he
; spot where the little girl wa, play ing with
her sister in the shade, just out* ide the
window. “I have spent more than 8500 <*a
her, and although I never begrudged it,
yet I did want to see my child improve
I faster than she did. Today she eats more
.in one meal than I do in two. When I
commenced to give her the Pink Pills she
was afflicted with a skin disease which was
very' annoying. Now that ha;-: all gone,
and I think the pills are responsible t r
that. Before I started on the Pink Pills
I wrote to a specialist in Buffalo, and de
scribed her symptoms; he said she had
blood poisoning, due to bad milk, an 1 want
ed me to bring her there for treatment,
although he said ho didn’t believe she
would ever get over it. She had been given
up by r four doctors, who were certain that
tliey could not cure her. Why, she couldn't
open her mouth, and I actually had to
force the food into it. Her mouth was ail
sores, and, oh dear, what a looking child
she was, and such a care! Nobody but
myself knows what a trial we have been
through, for she was too young to realize
it. If my statement will do anybody any
good I shall be glad to have it published,
ami if those who read it will only come to
me, if tliey are skeptical, I can convince
them in very little time that I know what
I am talking about. People around here
say- it. was a miracle, and I believe it was.”
The neignbors bore witness to the condi
tion of the child previous to the use of
Dr. Williams’s Pink Pills, and were en
thusiastic in their praises of the splefldid
work which had been accomplished by
them in this case.
Pink Pills cont a n. In a condensed form,
all the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat
