REV. DR. TALMAGE
THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN¬
DAY SERMON.
Sa iji-di “I lie Brilliancy of Religion.”
Tbxt: "The crystal cannot equal it."—
Job xxviii., 7.
have Many of the precious stones of the Bible
come to prompt recognition. But for
the present I take up the less valuable crys¬
tal. Job, in my text, compares saving wis¬
dom with a specimen of topaz. An infidel
chemist or mineralogist would pronounce
the latter worth more than the former, but
Job makes an intelligent comparison, looks
at religion and then looks at the crystal and
pronounces the former as of superior value
to the latter, exclaiming, in the words of my
text, “The crystal cannot equal it.”
Now, it is not a part of my sermonic de
sign to depreciate the crystal, whother it be
found in Cornish mine or Hartz mountain or
Mammoth Cave or tinkling among the pen¬
dants of the chandeliers of a palace. The
crystal is the star of the mountaiu; it is the
queen of the cave; it is tho eardrop of the
hills; it fiuds its heaven in the diamond.
Among is all the pages of natural history there
no page crystallographic. more interesting But to I me than show the
page want to
you that Job was right when, taking religion
in one hand and the crystal in the other, he
declared that the former is of far more value
and beauty than the latter, recommending it
to all the people and to all the ages, declar
ing, “The crystal cannot equal it.”
In the first place, I remark that religion is
superior to the crystal in exactness. That
accidentally shapeless mass dashed of crystal against foot is which laid you out
with your
more exactness than any earthly city.
There are six styles of crystallization, aud all
-of them divinely ordained. Every crystal
has mathematical precision. God’s geometry
Teaches through it, and it is a square, or it is
is a rectangle, or it is a rhomboid, or in some
■way it hath a mathematical figure. Now,
religion beats that in the simple fact that
spiritual accuracy is more beautiful than
material accuracy. God’s attributes are
exact God’s law exact. God’s decrees exact
God’s management of the world exact—never
-counting blades, wrong, though He counts the grass
and the stars, and the sands, and the
cycles. perpendicularly His providences never dealing with us
when those providencesought
to be oblique, nor lateral when they ought to
without be vertical. Everything possibility in our life arranged
any of mistake. Each
life a six sided prism. Born at the right time,
dying at the right time. There are no “hap¬
pen so’s” in our theology. If I thought this
God was a is slipshod universe I would go crazy.
not an anarchist. Law, order, sym¬
metry, precision, a perfect square, a perfect
- rectangle, cle. The a perf ect rhomboid, a perfect cir¬
edge of God’s robe of government
never frays out. There are no loose screws
in the world’s machinery. It did not just
happen that Napoleon was attacked with in¬
digestion at Borodino so that he became in¬
competent for the day. It did not just hap¬
pen that John Thomas, the missionary, on a
heathen island, waiting for an outfit and
orders for another missionary tour, received
that outfit and those orders in a box that
floated ashore, while the ship and the crew
that carried the box were never heard of.
The barking of F W. Robertson’s dog, he
tells us, led to a line of events which brought
him from the army into the Christian min
istry, where he served God with world re
znowned usefulness. It did not merely hap¬
" pen so. 1 believe in a particular be providence. in ell

that religion is superior
to the crystal in transparency. We know

covered. Beads of it have been found in the
tomb of Alexander Severus. Vases of it are

ments found now attached to the mum¬
mies of Egypt. A great many commen¬

What would we do without the crystal?

of the telescope, by which the astronomer
brings distant worlds so near he can inspect
them. iOh, the triumphs of the crystals
in the/ celebrated windows of Rouen and
Salisbury!
?iut there is nothing so transparent in a
Crystal as in our holy religion. It is a trans¬
parent religion. You put it to your eye and
you see man—his sin, his soul, his destiny.
You look at God aud you see something of
the grandeur of His character. It is a trans¬
parent religion. Infidels tell us it is opaque?
Do you know why they blind. tell us The it is opaque? natural
It is because they are

they trouble are with spiritually the crystal; the trouble is with no
the eyes which try to look through it. We
pray for wisdom, Lord, that our eyes might
be opened. When the eye salve cures our
blindness then we find that religion is trans¬
parent. It is transparent Bible. All the
a moun¬
tains of the Bible come Pisgah, out—Sinai, the mountain the moun¬ of
tain of tho law;
prospect; Olivet, the mountain of instruc¬
tion; Calvary, the mountain oi sacrifice. All
the rivers of the Bible come out—Hidekel, or
the river of paradisaical beauty; Jordan, or
-the river of holy chrism; Cheritli, or the
river of prophetic supply; Nile, or the river
of palaces, and the pure river of life from
under the throne, clear as crystal. While
reading this Bible after our eyes havo been
touched by grace we find it all transparent,
aud the earth rocks, now with crucifixion
agony Christ and now in with judgment His terror, and
appears some of two hundred
and fifty-six titles, as far as I can count them
—the bread, the rock, tho captain, the com¬
mander, the conqueror, the star, and rehearse on and
beyond any capacity of mine to
them. The Transparent religion l before
providence that seemed dark
becomes pellucid. Now you find God under¬ is not
trying to put you lost down. that child, Now you
stand why you and why you
lost your property; it was to prepare you
for eternal treasures. And why sickness
came, it being the precursor of immortal
juvenescence And now you understand
why hither they lied about you and tried to drive
you and thither. It was to put you
lit the glorious company of such men as
stroyed Ignatius, by who, the lions, when said: he went “I out to wheat, be de¬
am the
and th6 teeth of the wild beasts must first
grind me before I can become pure bread for
Jesus Christ;” or the company of such men as
Polycarp, amphitheatre who, when standing for in the lions midst
■of the waiting the to
come out of their cave and destroy him, and
the people in the galleries jeering and shout¬
ing- “The lions for Poly carp,” replied: “Let
them come on," and then stooped wild down to¬
ward the cave where the beasts were
.roaring to get out: “Let them come on.”
Ah, yes, it is persecution to put you in glo
rious company; and while there are many
things that you will have to postpone to the
future world for explanation, I tell you that
it is the whole explain tendency and of your religi and on il- to

glorious transparency “The crystal cannot
equal it.”
I remark again that religion surpasses the
crystal in its beauty. That lump of crystal
Is put under the magnifying glass of the
crystallographer, and he sees in it indescrib¬
able beauty—snowdrift and splinter of hoar
frost and corals ai\4 wreaths and stars and
crowns and castellations of conspicuous beau*
beauty. The fact is that crystal is so in all
tiful that 1 can think of but one thing is
the universe that is so beautiful, and that
the religion of the Bible. No wonder this
Bible represents that religion as the day¬
break, as the apple blossoms, as the glitter of
of a king’s banquet. It is the joy the
whole earth. and
People talk too much about, their cross
not enough about their crown. Do you know
tho Bible mentions a cross but twenty-seven eighty
times, while it mentions a crown thinks
times? Ask that old man what he of
religion. He has been a close observer. He
has been culturing an aesthetic taste. Ho has
seen the sunrises of half a century. He has
been an early riser. He has been an ad¬
mirer of cameos and corals and all kinds of
beautiful things. Ask him what he thinks of
religion, and he will tell you, “It is the most
beautiful thing I ever baw.” “The crystal
cannot equal it."
Beautiful in its symmetry. When it pre¬
sents God’s character it d&es not present Him
as having love like a great but protuberance
on one side of His nature, makes that
love in harmony with His justice—a love
that will accept all those who come to Him,
and a justice that will by no means clear
the guilty. Beautiful religion in the senti¬
ment it implants? Beautiful religiou in the
hope it kindles! Beautiful religion in the
fact imparadise that it proposes to garland spirit. and enthrone Solomon

its The diamond is only
a crystallization of coal. Carbonate of lima
rises till it becomes ealeite or aragonite. Red
oxide of copper crystallizes into cubes and
octohedrons. Those crystals which adorn
our persons and our homes and our museums
have only been resurrected from forms that
were far from lustrous. Scientists for ages
have been examining these wonderful trans¬
formations. But I tell you in the gospel of
the Son of God there is a more wonderful
transformation. Over souls by reason of sin
black as coal and hard as iron God by His
comforting grace stoops and says, “They
shall be Mine in the day whou I make up My
jewels.” “Wbat,” God
say you, “will wear jewel¬
ry?” If He wanted He could make the
stars of heaven His belt and have the even¬
ing cloud for the sandals of His feet, but He
does not want that adornment. He will not
have that jewelry. When God wants jewel¬
ry He comes down and digs it out of the
depths and darkness of sin. These souls are
ail crystallizations of mercy. He puts them
on, and He wears them in the presence of the
holy universe. He wears them on the hand
that was nailed, over the heart that was
pierced, on the temples that were stung.
“They shall be Mine,” saith the Lord, “in
the day when I make up 'My jewels.” Won¬
derful transformation! “The crystal cannot
equal it.” There she is, a waif of the
street, but she shall be a sister of charity.
There he is, a sot in the ditch, but he shall
preach the gospel. There, behind the bars
of a prison, but he shall reign with Christ
forever. When sin abouuded grace shall
much more abound. The carbon becomes

But, my friends, the chief transforming
power of the gospel will not be seen in this
world, and not until heaven breaks upon tho
soul. When that light falls upon the soul
then you will see the crystals. jewels Oh, of what a
magnificent setting for these etern¬
ity! I sometimes hear people representing
heaven in a way that is far from attractive
to me. It seems almost a vulgar heaven as
they represent it, with great blotches of
color and bands of music making a deafening
racket. John represents heaven as exquisite¬
ly beautiful. Three crystals. In one place
he says, “Her light was like a precious stone,
clear as crystal.” In another place he says,
“I saw a pure river from under the throne,
clear as crystal. 4 ’
In another place he says, “Before the
throne there was a sea of glass clear as crys¬
tal.” Three That crystals! John health. says crystal Balm at¬ of

But “the crystal cannot equal it.” John
says crystal river. That means joy. Deep
and ever rolling. Not one drop of the
Thames or the Hudson or the Rhine to soil

made. Crystal, the bed over which it shall roll
and ripple. Crystal, its infinite surface. But

river; crystal river Wiling into a crystal

“Ob.” says some one, putting his hand
over his eyes, “can it be that I who have
been iu so much sin and trouble will ever
come to those crystals?” Yes, it may be—
it will be. Heaven we must have, whatever
else we have or have not, and we come here
to get it. “How much must I pay for it?”
you say. You will pay for it just as much
as the coal pays to become the diamond.
In other words, nothing. The same Almighty
power that makes the crystals in the mount¬
ains will change your heart which is harder
than stone, for the promise is, “I will take
away your stony heart and I will give you a
heart of flesh.”
“Oh,” says some one, “it is just the doc¬
trine I want. God is to do everything, and
I am to do nothing." My brother, it is not
the doctrine you want. ‘The coal makes no
resistance. It hears the resurrection voice
in the mountain, and it comes from crystal¬
lization, with but your heart resists. The trouble
coal. you, my I brother, is the coal wants to
stay do not want you to throw
open the door and let Christ in. I only ask
that jmu stop bolting it and baring it. Oh,
my friends, we will have to get rid of our
sins. What will we do with our sins among
the three crystals? The crystal atmosphere
would display our pollution. The crystal
river would be befouled by our touch. The
crystal sea would whelm us with its glisten¬
ing surge. Transformation now or no trans¬
formation at all.
Give sin a full chance in your heart and
the transformation will bo downward in¬
stead of upward. Instead of a crystal it
will be a cinder. In the days of Carthage a
Christian girl was condemned to die for her
faith, and a boat was bedaubed with tar and
pitch tire, and filled with combustibles and set on
and the Christian girl was placed in the
boat, and the wind was off shore and the
boat floated away with its precious treasure.
No one can doubt that boat landed at the
shore of heaven.
Sin wants to put you in a fiery boat and
shove you off iu an opposite direction—off
from peace, off from God, off from heaven,
everlastingly off; and the port toward which
you would sail would be a port of darkness,
and the guns that would greet you would be
the guns of despair, and the flags that would
wave at your arrival would be the black flags
of death. O, my brother, you must either
kill sin or sin will kill you. It is no wild
exaggeration when I say that ahy man or
woman that wants to be saved may.besaved.
Tremendous choice! A thousand salvation people and are
choosing this moment between
destruction, between light aud darkness, be¬
tween heaven and hell, between charred ruin
and glorious crystallization.
TO SOUTHERN ALLIANCES.
An Invitation to Attend the
Third Party Convention.
Frank McGrath, president of the Alli¬
ance of Kansas, has addressed a letter to
the southern Alliances, urging them to
attend the Cincinnati convention, and be
prepared to act with the third independ¬
ent party. In his letter he intimates
that unless the southern branch of the
order takes this step the northern states
will go back to the republican party.
The letter was called forth by a number
of editorials which have appeared in
southern Alliance papers.
An Oatmeal Combine.
A Chicago dispatch of Friday says:
The oatmeal millers of the country have
formed a combination to take the place
of the oatmeal trust, which went to
pieces about a year ago. One of the
members is given as authority for the
statement that there is no intention of
advancing prices, the only object being
to limit the output and prevent prices
going lower.

Protective Parchment Paper..
Dr. Boncher, the eminent English,
physician, calls attention to the existence
of a cheap and efficient substitute for
oiled silk, gutta-percha tissue, aud all
other forms of “protective.” He refers
to the so-called parchment paper,, pre¬
pared by the immersion of paper, at a
certain state of making, in sulphuric acid.
It is largely used commercially, on ac¬
count of its grease-proof properties. He
was led to use it, owing to a temporary
failure in the supply of gutta-percha extensive
tissue, in the treatment of an
burn at the thorax, in which numerous
skiu grafts and a considerable extent of
growing edges required “protective.” He
was gratified on finding that it an
swered the purpose aduiirably,
possessing the further bein</ advantage,
on the dressing changed, disceiora- of
remaining free from the chemical
tion which always results from
decomposition when gutta-percha tissue
is used. It is unaffected by alcohol,
ether, turpentine, oils, etc., and is the
most suitable covering for a piece of lint
soaked with any liniment, when used ns
a local application for neuralgia, sciatica,
etc. It remains unaltered by tempera¬
ture and time, and, consequently, never does
becomes sticky, like oiled silk, nor
it crumble to pieces after being laid
aside for any length of time, like gutta¬ inde¬
percha tissue, its cheapness and
structibility, with these advantages,
ought to bring it into universal use.
