TALMAGE’S SERMON.
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,

have not the frith, or the courage, or the
foiise ration to do it, Ihen let some Jons .

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

ANARCHIST VENGEANCE.
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.

the flag to bo hauled down. This time the
American refused to obev. An armed crew
was at once dispatched from the Terror,
who boarded the schooner, and Captain
Quigley himself hauled down the American

France Spoiling For a Fiqht.
Paris, Oct. 12.—There'Is a rapid growth
of tlie war feeling in France. The Boulan
ger party has begun the issue of two jour
nals to advocate an offensive policy in
vindication of the old military prestige of
France. M.-Lav-edon, the military critic
writes to the Figaro that General Boulan
ger has prepared a well conceived plan, in
conjunction with a staff officer of
high rank, for a continental cam
