DR. TALMAGE’S PRACTICAL SERMON
FOR PRACTICAL MEN.
When t'-e Ballot Box Is Surronnded by
Corruption ts the Timo for the Chris
tint, to Work Hardest—Daniel's Kxpe
’ rlence.
11 Waco. Tex., Aug. 31.—Dr. Talmage
; today delivered the following discourse ;
on the text, “Then the king command
ed. and they brought Daniel and cast
him into the den of lions.”—Daniel I
vi, IG.
Darius was king of Babylon, and the
young man Daniel was so much a fa
’ vorite with him that he made him
j prime minister, or secretary of state. I
But no man could gain such a high po-
- sition without exciting the envy and
jealousy of the people. There were j
demagogues in Babylon who were so
appreciative of their own abilities that
j they were affronted at the elevation of |
* this young man. Old Babylon was
afraid of young Babylon. The taller i
t the cedar the more apt it is to be riven :
I of the lightning.
These demagogues asked the king to
make a decree that anybody that made j
a petition to any one except the king
within thirty days should be put to
death. King Darius, not suspecting
any foul play, makes that decree. The |
demagogues have accomplished all they |
. want, because they know that no one
i can keep Daniel from sending petitions
' before God for thirty days.
So far from being afraid, Daniel goes I
on with his supplications three times a
day, and is found on his housetop mak- j
ing prayer. He is caught in the act.
He is condemned to be devoured by i
the lions. Rough executioners of the !
law seize him and hasten him to i
. the cavern. I hear the growl of the
wild beasts, and I see them pawing the ■
dust, and as they put their mouths to !
the ground the solid earth quakes with
their bellowing. I see their eyes roll,
and I almost hear the fiery eyeballs
. snap in the darkness. These monsters
’ approach Daniel. They have an ap- \
petite keen with hunger. With one
stroke of their paw or one snatch of '
. their teeth they may leave him dead at
the bottom of the cavern. But what !
a strange welcome Daniel receives
from these hungry monsters. They
fawn around him, they lick his hand,
they bury his feet in their long manes.
That night he lias calm sleep, with his
■ head pillowed on the warm necks of
the tamed lions.
_ | SAVED BY GOD.
But not so well does Darius the king
j sleep. He loves Daniel, and hates this
stratagem by which he has been con
i demned. All night long the king walks
I the floor. He cannot sleep. At the
least sound he starts and his flesh
: creeps with horror. He is impatient
' for the dawning of the ijiorning. At j
the first streak of the daylight Darius
hastens forth to see the fate of Daniel.
( ! The heavy palace doors open and clang >
shut long before the people of the city ;
waken. Darius goes to the den of li
ons; he looks in. All is silent. His |
heart stops. He feels that the very ,
‘ worst has happened; but gathering all*
his strength he shouts through the rifts i
of the rock, “O Daniel! is the God
whom thou servest continually able to
deliver thee 1" There comes rolling up
from the deep darkness a voice which
. says: “D king! live forever. My God
lias sent his angel to shut the lions’
mouths that they have not hurt me.”
Then Daniel is brought out from the
den The demagogues arc hurled into
it, and no sooner have they struck the
, bottom of the den than their flesh was
rent, and their bones cracked, and their
blood spurted through the rifts of the
rock, and as the lions make the rocks
tremble with their roar they announce
1 to all ages that while God will defend
his people the way of the ungodly shall
perish.
f THE CHIME OE SUCCESS.
1 Learn first from this subject that the
■ greatest crime that you can commit in
the eyes of many is the- crime of sue-
- cess. What had Daniel done that be
should be flung to the lions? He got
k to be prime minister. They could not
forgive him for that; and behold in
that a touch of unsanctilied human
f nature as seen in all ages of the world.
. So long as you are pinched in poverty,
1 so long as you are running the gantlet
- between landlord and tax gatherer, so
long as you find it hard work to cdu- .
’ cate your children, there are people |
who will say: “Poor man, I am sorry
for him. Ho ought to succeed, [«»>r
man I"
t But after awhile the tide turns in
your favor. That was a profitable in
’ vestment you made. You bought at
t just the right time. Fortune becomes
good humored and smiles upon you.
Now you are being in some department
. successful, your success chills some one.
Those men who used to sympathize
L with you stand along the street, and
; they scowl at you from under the rim
of their hats. You have more money ■
1 or more influence than they have, and -
- you ought to be scowled at from under
the rim of their hats. .You catch a j
word or two as you passed by them. |
- “Stuck up,” says one. “Got it dishon !
I estly,” says another. “Will burst soon,” •
says a third. Every stone in your new
i house is laid on their hearts. Your
horses' hoofs went over their nerves. •
Every item of your success lias been
to them un item of discomfiture and
despair. Just as soon as in any respect
-' you rise above your fellows, if you are
more virtuous, if you are more wiw, if ;
you are more influential, you cast a
shallow on the prospect of others. The
road to honor and success is within
reach of the enemy's guns. Jealousy
says, “Stay down, or I'll knock you
down.” Ido not like you,” t-aid lh«’
snowflake to the snowbird. “Why
don't you like me?' said the snowbird
“Olli” said the snowflake, “you are
going up and I am comiug down ” i
Young men'hants, young lawyers,
young d-s'tor*. young me<-Uaui‘ - *,
young artists, young farmers, at cer
tain times there were those to »>m
(<:tthi/e with you, but now Hutt j
you are b-eoming master of your
1 particular occupation or profaasluu.
1 how is it now, young lawyers, young
doctors, young artists, young farmers,
! how is it now? The greatest crime that
you can commit is the crime of success. ;
DECISION OK CHARACTER.
Again, my subject impresses me with
the value of decision of character in
any department. Daniel knew that if
he continued his adherence to the re- I
ligion of the Lord lie would be hurled i
to the lions, but having set his compass
well ho sailed right on.
For the lack of that element of de
cision of character so eminent in Dan
iel many men are ruined for this world.
■ and ruined for the world to come. A
great many at forty years of age are not
settled in any respect, because they
have not been able to make up their
I mind. Perhaps they will go west.
; Perhaps they will go east. Perhaps
they will not. Perhaps they will go
| north. Perlmps they may go south, l
Perhaps they will not. Perhaps they ■
may make that investment in real es- !
tate or in railroads. Perhaps they will 1
: not. They are like a steamer that |
should go out of New York harbor, I
; starting for Glasgow, and tlie next day ,
j should change for Havre de Grace, and
I the next for Clmrleston, and the next
| for Boston, and the next for Liverpool—
these men 6n the sea of life, everlast
ingly tacking ship and making no head- !
way. Or they are like a man who I
starts to build a house in the Corinth- i
I ian style and changes it to Doric, and
i then completes it in the lonic, and is
i cursed by all styles of architecture.
START RIGHT AND KEEP ON.
Young man. start right and keep on. j
Have decision of character. Charac
ter is like the goldfinch of Tonquin; it
is magnificent while standing firm, but I
i loses all its beauty in Hight. How much
I decision of character in order that these i
j young men may be Christians! Their
old associates make sarcastic Hings at
j them. They go on excursions ami they
>do not invito them. They prophesy ■
that he will give out. They wonder if;
he is not getting wings. As he passes
they grimace and wink and chuckle, .
and*say, “There goes a saint."
Oh, youngxnan, have decision of char
i actor. You can afford in this matter '
;of religion to bo laughed at. What do
1 you care for the scoffs of these men
I who are affronted because you will not i
Igo to ruin with them? When the grave ?
cracks open under their feet, and grim
i messengers push them into it, and eter- I
, nity conies down hard upon their|
spirit, and conscience stings, and horn*
less ruin lifts them up to hurl them
down, will they laugh then?
I learn also from iny subject that
; men may take religion into their
worldly business. Daniel had enough
work to do to occupy six men. All the
affairs of state were in his hands -
questions of finance, questions of war, !
of peace, all international questions
were for his settlement or adjustment.
I He. must have had a correspondence'
1 vast beyond all computation. There j
was not a man in all the earth who
had more to do than Daniel, the secre I
I tary of state, and yet wo find him three j
times a day allowing before God in
■ prayer. There tire men in our day i
who have not a hundredth part of
| Daniel s engagements who say they
are too busy to bo religious. They
have an idea somehow that religion
. will spoil their worldly occupation,
that it will trip the accountant's pens
j or dull the carpenter's saw, or confuse
the lawyer's brief, or disarrange the
merchant's store shelf.
IMPERTINENT RELIGION.
They think religion is impertinent.
They would like to have it very well I
seated beside them in church on the !
Sabbath, to find the place in the psalm |
book, or to nudge them awake when
they get sleepy under the didactic dis
course; or they would like to leave it in
the pew on Sabbath evening, as they
go out closing the door, saying, “Good
night, religion; I'll be back next Sun
day!" But to have religion go right
along by them all through life, to have
religion looking over their shoulder
when they are making a bargain, to '
have religion bike up a bag of dishonest
gold and shake it and say, “Ha! ha! '
where did you get that?”—they think
that is an impertinent religion. They '
would like to have a religion to help '
them when they are sick, anil when the 1
shadow of death comes over them they 1
would like to have religion as a sort of 1
night key with which to open the door 1
of heaveti; but religion under other cir
cumstances they take to be an imperti
nonce. Now, my friends, religion never
robbed a man of a dollar. Other things
being equal, a mason will build a bet
ter wall, a cabinet maker will make a
better chair, a plumber will make a 1
better pipe, a lawyer will make a better
plea, a merchant will sail a better bill 1
of goods.
I say other things being equal. Os
course when religion gives a man a new
heart it does not propose to give him a
new head, or to intellcetualize him, or
to change a man’s condition when his
ordinary state is an overthrow of the
philosopliical theory that a total vacu
um is impossible; but the more letters
you have to write, the more burdens
you have to carry, the more miles you
have to travel, the more burdens you
have to lift, the more engagements you
have to meet, the more disputes you
have to settle, the more opportunity
you have of being a Christian.
THE BUSIEST MEN THE BEST MEN.
If you have a thousand Irons in the
fire, you have a thousand more oppor
tunities of serving God tlian if you
liad only one iron in the fire. Who so
busy as Christ ? And yet who a mill
ionth part as holy? Tile busiest men
the lx-st men. All the [tersonsconvert
ed in Scripture busy at the .time of
their being converted. Matthew at
tending to his custom bouse duties; the
Prod'-id Hon feeding swine; Lydia
selling purple; Simon Peter iiauling in
the net from the sea; Haul spurring his
horse tow ard llamuhcux, going dow n on
his law bUMiMMMi. Busy ' busy! Daniel
with all the affairs of state weighing
down upon his soul, and yet three times
a day worshiping th# G->1 of heuwn
Again, I iearu from lids subj*« t that
a man may take religj<<; into bls
politics Danad iuvi all the affsum 'X
state ou Uatud, a CliriXiun, He
could not have kept bin elevated posi
tion unless he had been a thorough
politician, and yet all the thrusts of of
ficials and all the danger of disgrace
did not make him yield one iota of his
high toned religious principle. He
stood before that age, he stands before
all ages, a specimen of a Christian
I politician.
| So there have been in our day and
in tile days of our fathers men as emi
nent in the service of God as they have
bean eminent in the service of the
state. Such was Benjamin F. Butler,
attorney general of New York in the
time of your fathers. Such was John
McLean, of Ohio. Such was George
Briggs, of Massachusetts. Such was
Theodore Freiinghuysen, of New Jer
sey Men faithful‘to the state, at the
same time faithful to God.
OUR HOPE IS IN THE YOUNG MEN.
It is absurd to expect that men who
have been immersed in political wick
edness for thirty or forty years shall
come to reformation; and our hope is
j in the young men who are coining up,
I that they have patriotic principle and
i < T.ristian principle side by side when
they come to the ballot box and cast
their first vote, and that they swear al
legiance to the government of heaven
as well as to the government of the
f nited States. We would have Bunker
I Hill mean less to them than Calvary,
I and Lexington mean less to them than
I Bethlehem.
But because there are bad men
I around the ballot box is no reason
| why Christian men should retreat from
i iiie arena. The last time you ought to
I give up your child or forsake your
I child is when it is surrounded by a
i company of Choctaws; and the last
time to surrender the ballot box is
when it is surrounded by impurity nnd
i dishonesty and all sorts of wickedness.
Daniel stood on a most unpopular
p‘ it form. He stood firmly, though the
demagogues of the day hissed at him
and tried to overthrow him. Wo must
< rry our religion into our politics. But
t.icre are a great many men who are in
favor of taking religion into national
I lilies who do not see the importance
oi taking it into city polities, as though
! a man were intelligent about the wel"
! fare of his neighborhood and had no
I e.incern about his own home.
Religion would drive out all base
' personalities from politics. You have
■ a right to discuss men's polities and do
' nounco their political sentiments, or re
I ceive them, an you will; but you have
ii > right to assail their private charac
ter, as is done every autumn. That is
not carrying religion into politics. Now
you can always tell without asking, in
any contest, what candidate I will vote
for. It is always for the mm who is
most badgered, and most ahu ed'. and
most spit upon, Mid most howled at.
You have a right to contest a man’s po
litical sentiments; you have no right
for base political purposes to assail his
private moral character.
LIONS SURROUND YOU.
My subject also impresses me with
the fact that lions cannot hurt a good
man. No man ever got into worse
company than Daniel got into when he
was thrown into the den. What a rare
morse] that fair young man would have
been for the hungry monsters! If they
had plunged at him he could not have
climbed into a niche beyond the reach
of their paw or the snatch of their
tooth. They came pleased all about
him, as a hunter's hounds at the well
knowiAvhistle come bounding to his
feet.
You need not go to Numidia to get
among lions. You all have had them
after you—the lion of financial distress,
the lion of sickness, the lion of perse
cution. You saw that lion of financial
panic putting his mouth down to the
earth, .-.nd he roared until all the banks
and all the insurance companies quaked.
With his nostril he scattered the ashes
on the domestic hearth. Y'ou have had
trial after trial, misfortune after misfort
une. lion after lion; and yet they have
never hurt you if you put your trust
in God, and they never will hurt you.
They did not hurt Daniel, and they
cannot hurt you.
The Persians used to think that
spring rain falling into sea shells would
turn into pearls; and I have to tell you
that the tears of sorrow tui-n into
precious gems when they drop into
God’s bottle. Y’ou need be afraid of
nothing putting your trust in God.
liven death, that monster lion whose
lon is the world’s sepulcher, and who
puts his paw down amid thousands of ’
millions of the dead, cannot affright !
you.
YV hen in olden times a man was to
get the honors of knighthood lie was
compelled to go fully armed the night
before among the tombs of the dead
carrying a sort of spear, and then when
the day broke he would come forth,
and amid the sound of comet and great
parade he would get the honors of
knight hood. And so it will lie with .

A REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.
I A Boy So Constructed That He tan Locate
Ore as Divining Rod Does Water.
The magnetic needle has long beau
considered a reliable medium for divin
ing the location of veins containing *
ironstone, or other similar deposits, and
in the course of some experiments con
ducted by Professors Rucker and
Thorpe, and other eminent men of sci
ence, some remarkable confirmations of
and additions to the theories hitherto
held on the subject were achieved. It
was found that on approaching an area
beneath which ironstone was deposited i
the needle became deflected. In cases
where the iron w:w near to the surface
‘.lie deflection was most acute, and
where it was hidden far below the sur
face the degree of deflection was ac
•ordingly diminished, so that by care
fully noting the movements of the nee
11c it was possible not only to fix the
exact locality where iron was to be
found, but also, according to the de
gree of deflection, to fix with tolerable
accuracy the depth at which the vein
would lie met with.
Another mode of discovering the
location of minerals is to use the
“diviner,” as a person gifted with
“magnetic powers" is calfed. There is
now in England a remarkable boy who
is n-gularly employed for this purpose
by a mining company in the north of
the country. The manager of the com
pany, in describing tliis boy, says:
“Mineral veins and water have very
strong magnetic attraction for the boy,
who is 15 years of age and of ordinary
weight. If he stand in a small quan
tity of water it takes a very strongman
to lift him. It is not at all necessary
for him to carry a stick. All he re
quires to do is to walk over the ground
with liis hands clasped, and lie can im
mediately tell you if lie steps upon a
vein. Ho can give the direction of the
vein, mi l say xvlietiier it is weak oi
strong. Ho can also, by simply walk
::i,g over it, say whether another vein
crossi-s into it.

Onyx is worth in the rough from $3
