An Interesting Discourse on the “The Stolen Grindstone.” 'X Singular Instance oi Tyrannical Oppres sion—The Church Should Use the World’s Sharpening Instru ments—A Call to Work. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage chose for the subject of fl recent sermon in the Brook lyn tabernacle the Philistines’ oppres* B ‘bn of Israel and the Lord’s interposition In their behalf, as illustrative of the duty of the Church to seize the world’s weapons with which to encounter its foes. Mis text was: Now, there was no smit h round throughout all the laud of Israel: (for the Philistines said, lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.) But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, anil his mattock. Vet they had a file for the mat tocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. —I. Samuel, xiii., 19-21. What a galling subjugation for the Israelites? The Philistines had carried off all the blacksmiths, and lorn down all the blacksmiths’ trade in the land of Is rael. The Philistines would not even al low' these parties to work their valuable mines of brass and iron, nor might they make any swords or spears. There were only two swords left in all the land. Yes, these Philistines went on until they had taken all the grindstones from the lahd of Israel, so that if an Israelitish farmer wanted to sharpen his plow or h is axe, he had to go over to the garrison of the Philis tines to get it done. There was only one sharpening instrument left in the land, and that was a file. The farmers and the mechanics having nothing to whet up the coulter, and the goad, and the pick-axe, save a simple file, industry was hindered, and work practically disgraced. The great idea of these Philistines was to keep the Israelites disarmed. They might get iron out of the hills to make swords of, but they vvould not have any blacksmiths to weld this iron. If they got the iron weld ed they would have no grindstones on which to briug the instruments of agri culture or the military weapons up to an edge. O, you poor, weaponless Israelites, reduced to a file, how- I pity you. But these Philistines were not forever to keep their heel on the neck of God's children. Jonathan on his han Is and knees climbs up a great rock beyon l which were the Philistines; and his armor-bearer, on bis hands and knees, climbs up the same rock, and these two men with their two swords hew to pieces the Philistines, the Lord throwing a great terror upon them. So it was then; so it is now. Two men of God on their knees, mightier than a Philistine host on their feet. I learn first from this subject how dangerous it is for the Church of God to allow its weapons to stay in the hands of its enemies. These Israelites might again and again have obtained a supply of swords and weapons, as for instance when they took the spoils of the Ammonites; but these Israelites seemed content to have no swords, no spears, no blacksmiths, no grindstones, no active iron mines, until it was too late for them to make any re sistance. I see the farmers tugging along with their pick-axes and plow, and I say: “Where are you going with those things?” They say: “Oh, we are going over to the garrison of the Philistines to get these things sharpened.” I say: “You foolish men. why don’t you sharpen them at home?”- “Ob,” they say, “the blacksmith’s shops are all torn down, and we have nothing left us hut a file.” 8o it is in the Church of Jesus Christ to day. We are too willing to give up our weapons to the enemy. The world boasts that it has gobbled up the schools, and the colleges, atid the arts, and the sciences, and the literature, and the printing press. Infidelity is making a mighty attempt to get all our weapons in its hands and then to keep them. You know it is mak ing this boast all the time, and after awhile, when the great battle between sin and righteousness has opened, if we do not look out wo will be as badly off as these Israelites, without any swords to fight with and without any sharpening instruments. 1 call upon the superintendents of literary institutions to see to it that the men who go into the class-rooms to stand beside the Leyden jars, and the electric batteries, and the microscopes and telescopes, be children of God; not Philistines. The Carlylean, Emersonian and Tvndallean thinkers of this day are trying to get all the intel lectual weapons of this century in their own grasp. What we want is scientific Christians to capture the science, and scholastic Christians to capture the schol arship, and philosophic Christians to capture the philosophy, an l lecturing Christians to take back the lecturing plat form. We want to send out against Sebenkei, and Strauss, and Renan, a Theodore Christlieb, of Bann; and against the i,nfidel scientists of the day a God worshiping Silliman. and Hitchcock, and Agassiz. W.e want to capture all the philosophical apparatus and swing around the telescopes on the swivel, until through them we ban see the morning star of the Redeemer, and with mineralogical ham mer discover the Rock of A :es. and amid the flora of the realifls find the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Let men of God go out and take posses sion of the platform. Let any printing presses that have been captured by the enemy be recaptured for God; and the reporters, and the type-setters, and the editors, and the publishers twenr a'legiance to the G'd of truth. Ab.iny friend, that da. must come, end if the great body of Christian men have not the frith, or the courage, or the foiise ration to do it, Ihen let some Jons . |,i! mi lii> busy hgiithi and nil l»i* TRENTON. DADE COUNTY GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1586. ing knees climb up on the Rock of Hin drance, and in the name of the Lord God of Israel slash to pieces those literary Philistines. If these men will dot lie con verted to God, then they must be over thrown, Again, I learn from this subject what n large amount of the Church’s resources is actually hidden, and 1 uried, and unde veloped. The Bible intimates that that was a very rich land, this land of Israel. It says: The stones are iron, and out of the hills thou sbalt dig brass. And yet hundreds and thousands of dol lars’ of this metal was kept under the hills. Well, that is the difficulty with the Church of God at this us,y» its talent is not developed. If one-half of its energy could he brought out it might take the public iniquities of the day by the throat and make them bite the dust. If human ! eloquence were consecrated to the Lord j Jesus Christ it would in a few years per suade this whole earth to surrender to 1 God. There is enough undeveloped energy i in this one church to bring all Brooklyn : to Christ—enough undeveloped Christian energy in the city of Brooklyn to bring all the United States to Christ— j enough of undeveloped Christian i energy in the United States to bring the | whole world to Christ ; but it is buried un der a strata of indifference, and under whole mountains of sloth. Now, is it not time for the mining to begin, and thepick axes to plunge, and for this buried metal to be brought out and put into the fur- i naces, and be turned into howitzers and ! carbines for the Lord’s host? The vast majority of Christians in this day are useless. The most of the Lord’s battalion j belong to the resell corps. The most of the crew are asleep in the hammocks. The j most of the metal is under the hills. Ob 1 is it not time for the church of God to rouse up and understand that we want all the energies, all the talent and all the wealth enlisted for Christ’s sake? We want all the laymen enlisted. Minis ters are numerically too small. They do the best they ean. They are the most overworked class on earth. Many of them of die of dyspepsia because they can ! not get the right kind of food to eat, or get ting the right kind are so worried that they take it down in chunks. They die of yon sumption coming from early and late ex posure. If a novelist or historian publishes one book a year he is considered indus trious. But every f'Uitful pastor must originate enough thought for three or four volumes a year. Ministers receive enough calls in a vear from men who have maps, nnd medicines, and lightning rods, and pictures to sell, to exhaust their vitality. They are bored with agents of all sorts. They are set in draughts at funerals, and poisoned by unventilated rooms or inval ids, and waited upon by committees who want addresses made, until life becomes a burden to bear. It is not hard study that makes ministers look pale. It is the in finity of interruptions and botherations to which they are subjected. If I die before my time, it will be at the hand of commit tees that want an address or a lecture. In most churches to-day five or ten men are compelled to do all the work. A vast ma jority of churches are at their wit’s end bow to carry on a prayer-meeting if the minister is not there, when there ought to be enough pent-up energy and religious force to make a meeting go on with such power that, the minister would never be missed. The church stands working the pumps of a few ministerial cisterns until the buckets are dry and choked, while there are thousands of fountains from which there might be dipped up the waters of eternal life! Before you and I have the sod pressing our eyelids we will, under God, decide whether our children shall grow up amid the accursed surroundings of vice hi) } shame or come to an in heritance of righteousness. Long, loud, bitter will be the curse that scorches our grave if, holding within the church to day enough men and women to save the city, we act the coward or the drone. I wish I could put enough moral explosives under the con ventionalties and majestic stupidities of the day to blow them to atoms, and that then, with fifty thousand men and women from all the churches, knowing nothihg hut Christ and a desire to bring all the world to him, we might move upon the enemy’s works. For a lit tle while Heaven would not have trumpets enough to celebrate the victory. My friends is it not right for us to em ploy the world’s grindstones? If there be art, if there be logic, if there be business faculty on the other side, let us go over and employ it for Christ’s sake. The fact is, we ficht with too dull weapons, and we work with too dull implements. We hack and we maul when we ought to make a keen stroke. Let us go over among sharp busi ness men, and among sharp literarv men, and find out what their tact is, and then transfer it to the cause of Christ. If they have science and art it will do us good to rub against it. In other words, let us employ the world’s grindstone. We will listen to their music, and we will watch their acumen, and we will use their grindstone; and will borrow their philosophical apparatus to make our experiments, and we will borrow their printing presses to publish our Bibles, and we will borrow their rail trains to carry our Christian literature, and we will bor row their ships to transport our mission aries. That was what made Paul such a master in his day. He not only got all the learning be could get of Dr. Gamaliel, but afterward, standing on Mars Hill, and in crowded thoroughfare, quoted their poetry, and grasped their logic, and wielded their eloquence, and employed their mythology, until Dionysius, the Areopagtte, learned in the schools of Athens and Heliopolis, went down under his tr -.endous powers. Again my subject teaches n« .» what a small allowance Philistine iniquity puts a man. Yes, these Philistines shut up the mines, then they took the blacksmiths, then they took the grindstones, and they kook evei v thing but a file. Oh, that is the w#y ajnwoik«i it gi*b,« every It begins with robbery, and ends with rob bery. It despoils this faculty, and that faculty, and keeps on until the whole na ture is gone. Was the man eloquent be fore, it generally thickens his tongue. Was he fine in personal appearance, it mars his visage. Was he affluent, it sends the sheriff to sell him out. Was he influen tial, it destroys his popularity. Was ha placid and genial, and loving, it makes him splenetic and cross; and so utterly is he changed that you can see he is sar castic end rasping, and that the Philis tines ba*m left him nothing but a file. Oh, * “the way of the transgressor is hard!” His cup is bitter. His night is dark. His pangs are deep. His end is terrific. Philistine iniquity says to that mans “Now, surrender to me, and 1 will give you all you want—music for the dance,swift steeds for the race, imperial couch t» slumber on, and you shall be refreshed with the rarest fruits iu baskets of golden filagree.” He lies. The music turns out to be a groan. The fruits burst the rind with rank poison. The filagree is made up of twisted reptiles. The couch is a grave. Small allowance of rest, small allowance of peace, small allowance of comfort. Cold, hard, rough—nothing but a file. A Christian life is the only cheerful life, while a life of wicked surrender is re morse, ruin and death. Its painted glee is sepulchral ghastliness. In the bright est days of the Mexican Empire Monte zuma said he felt gnawing at his heart something like a canker. Sin, like a monster wild beast of the forest, some times licks all over its victim in order that the victim may be more easily swallowed; but generally sin rasps, and galls, and tears, and upbraids, and files. Is it not so, Herod? Is it not so, Hildebrand? Is it not so, Robespierre? Aye! aye! It is so, it is so. The way of the wicked He turneth upside down. I learn from this subject what a sad thing it is when the Church of God loses its metal! These Philistines saw that if they could only get all the metallic weapons out of the hands of the Israelites all would be well, and, therefore, they took the swords and the spears. They did not want them to have a single metal lic weapon. When the indal of the Israel ites was gone their strength was gone. This is the trouble with the Church of God to-dav. It is surrendering its courage. It has not go enough metal. How seldom it is jttyi nee a man raking bis posi tion in pew or in pulpit or in a religipus socity and holding that position against all opposition, and all trial, and all perse cution, and all criticism. The church of God to-day wants more backbone, more defiance, more consecrat ed bravery, more metal. How often you see a man start out in some good enter prise. and at the fupt blast of opposition he has all hiiWJmtaee gone, forgetting the fact that if a man Be right, all the opposition of the earth pounding away at him can not do him any perma nent damage. It is only when a man is wnpig that he can be damaged. Why, God is going to vindicate His truth, and He is going to stand by you, my friends, in every effort you make for Christ’s cause and the salvation of men. Go the service of Christ, and do youwholeffuty. You have one sphere. I hale another sphere. I®e Lord of Hosts Is with us, and the God of .ycot> is our refuge. Selah' We want more of the determination of Jonathan. Ido not suppose he was a very wonderful man, but he got on his knees and clambered up the rock, and with the help of his nrmor-hearer he hewed down the Philistines: and a man of very ordi nary intellectual attainments on his knees can storm any thing for God, and for the truth. We want something of the deter mination of the general who went into the war, and as he entered his first battle bis knees knocked together, his physical cour age not quite up to his moral courage; and he looked down at his knees and said: “Ah, if you knew where I was going to take you, you would shake., worse than that!” There is only one question for you to ask, and for me to ask —what docs God want me to do? Where is the field? Where is the work? Where is the anvil? Where is the prayer-meeting? Where is the pulpit? And, finding out what God wants us to do, go ahead and doit —all the energies of our body, mind and soul enlisted in the undertaking. O! brethren, we have but little time in which to fight for God! You will be dead soon. Put in the Christian cause every energy that Go 1 gives you. What thy hand findetti to (10, do it with all | thy might: for there is neither wisdom, nor device, in the grave, whither we are all hastening. Opportunities of usefulness gone for ever; souls that might have been benefited i three months ago never again coining | under our Christian influence. Ob. is it not high time that we awake out of sleep? Church of God, lift up your bead at the coming victory! The Philistines will go down and the Israelites will go up. We are on the winning side. I think just now the King’s hordes are being hooked up to the charjot, and when he does ride down the sky there will be such a hosanna among His friends and such a wailing among His enemies as will make the earth tremble and the heavens sing. I see now the plumesof the Lord’s eavalrvruen tossing is the air. The archangel before the throne has already burnished his trumpet, and then he will put its golden lips to nis own, and he will blow the long, loud blast that will make all the nations free. Clap your hands, and all ye people! Hark! 1 beat the falling thrones, and the dashing down of demolished iniquities. Hallelujah! the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!

Gottfried Waller, Who Testified Against the Chicago Seven, Narrowly Kscapps Willi His Life From an Enraged Crowd. Chicago. Oct. 11. —During the late An archist troubles Gottfried Waller was quite a leader among the men, and when the 'rial came on appeared as a witness for Die State, and gave evidence which did much toward causing the convict* m of the prisoners. Many threats were made against him. Last night, accompanied by a friend, he entered a saloon at 105 North Wells street, a favorite gathering place of the Swiss element of the laborers. Some one said,' “There is the traitor.” Waller endeavored to leave the room, but the crowd followed him with cries of ‘ Hang the dog," “Choke him,” “Kill him,” etc. Someone seized him by the throat, but Waller shook the man off. and drawing a revolver, shot several times into the crowd. For a moment they fell back, but soon came up again and attempted to hang him. Again Waller freed himself and fired into the mass of people. By this time ho was nearly to Chicago avenue, and he ran for the police station. Captain Scbaack placed Waller in the cell for safety, and sent a squad of men to disperse the crowd and capture -the leaders, if po>sib!e. It could not he learned whether he hail shot anybody or not. HUNDREDS OF SKELETONS Found in an Old Church, Garre! in N.ce, France. Paris, Oct. 11.— The old Dominican church at Nice, known as tit. Dominie, is now used as a bakery for the French army. A few days ago. when Ibe architect was employed to make some examination of roof, he discovered in the garrets over six hundred skeletons that had been flung in without order or ar rangement. The medical experts de clare they must have been buried in the church three or four centuries ago. When Nice was occupied by the French soldiers in 1792 the monks were driven out of the church, which was used for military purposes, and it is supposed that in making certain changes in the floor the skeletons were thrown up in the garrets. The ma jority of the bones are thoie of women, a <i among these .there is no doubt the skeleton of the Dutchess of Savoy, who was buried in the church. A I the remains have since been buried in one of the cemeteries o£ Nice. ♦ ♦ • A DUEL. two >cigliixii-s Meet on Sunday and_» Fight to Settle a Lawsuit.

No conditions were entered into, but the General suggests the fact that heretofore in such cases removal has been deemed sufficient.
