RELIGIOUS REVIVALS ? 'I Dr. Talmage, in a Timely Discourse, ! Declares His Belief in Them. ? ? O u leraon Adapted from tba Story- of Simon and the Viihere?Greatest Obstacle to Revivals la an ^ Unconverted Ministry. a tl [Copyrlsht. 1001. by Louis Klopsch, N. T.] ^ Washington, March 24. " ' This discourse of Dr. Talmage Is C most pertinent at this time when a y widespread effort for religious awak- w ening is being made; text, Luke, verse ci t: "They inclosed a great multitude t ' ,?f fishes and their net brake." ii Simon and his comrades had expert- c need the night before what fishermen v call "poor luck." Christ steps on board n |lho fishing smack and tolls the sailors \\ to pull away from the beach and di- v reots them again to sink the net. Suro 1> enough, very soon the net is full of t< fishes, and the suilors begin to haul in. '1 So large a school of fishes was takea that the hardy men began to look red s lr. the face as they pull, and hardly c have they begun to rejoice at their sue- u Mas when snap goes a tUreal of the h net, and snap goes another thread, so o there is danger not only of losing the tl fish, but of losing the net. 1 Without much care as to how m\ieh a the boat tilts or how much water is v splashed on deck the fishermen rush c about, gathering up the broken meshes d of the net. Out yonder there is a ship a dancing on the wave, and they liail it: p "Ship ahoy! Bear down this wayl" k The ship comes, and both boats, both t< fishing smacks, are filled with the fibunderlng treasures. n "Ah," says some one, "how much f< better it would have been if they had d staid on.shore and fished with a hook h and line and taken one at a time in- rj stead of having this great excitement f< and the bout almost upset and the net E broken and having to call for help and fi getting sopping wet with the sea!" b The church is the boat, the Gospel n is the net, society is the sea, and a n .great revival is a whole school brought t< In at one sweep of the net. I have ad- it miration for that man who goes out h with a hook and line to fish. I admire ? .. the way he unwinds the reel and ad- t: justs the bait and drops the hook in a quiet place on a still afternoon and li here catches one and there one, but 1 tl like also a big boat and a large crew tl Mid a net a mile long and swift oars g and stout sails and a stiff breeze and a * great multitude of souls brought?so M great a multitude that you have got o to get help to draw it ashore, straining a the net to the utmost until it breaks ii here and there, letting a few escape, o: but bringing the great multitude into J eternal safety. a: In other words, I believe in revivals. The great work of saving men began a| with 3,000 people joining the church in ai one day, and it will close with 40 or a ci hundred million people saved in 24 tl hours when nations shall be born in a P. Wm day. But there are objections to re- G W vivals. People are opposed to them ii: because the net might get broken, and N If by the pressure of souls It does not nj get broken, then they take their own a| penknives and slit the net. "They in- t? I closed a great multitude of fishes, and yi ' the net brake." yi It is sometimes opposed to revivals H [ of religion that those who come into r< the church at such times do not hold H out. As long as there is a gale of bless- ??j they have their eails up. But us B -t'.s strong' winds stop blowing ?i< they drop into a dead calm. But ara the facta lu tho c*r>??7 In uii 1> our churches the vast majority of the r< L useful people are those who are breught in under great awakenings, c; and they hold out. Who are the prom- is Inent men In the United States iu t) ohurohes, in prayer meetings, in Sab- a' / bath schools? For the most part they o! are the product of great awakenings. c< I have noticed that those who are n< brought into the Kingdom of Ood s] through revivals have more per- hi sistence and mors determination in the el Christian life than those who come gi In under a low state of religion. Pco- v< pie born in an icehouse may live, but ai they will never get over the cold they t< taught in the ioehouse. A cannon hall o; L depends upon the lmpu'se with which sj It starts for how rar it shall go und ti how swiftly, and the greater the re- tl rival forco with which a soul is started \\ thsmorefar-reaching and far-resound- g( lng will be the execution. tt But It la sometimes objected to re- la rivals that there is so much excitement cl that people mistake hysteria for relig- tl ion. We admit that in every revivul of ie religion there is either a suppressed or tl a demonstrated excitement. Indeed, fii if a man can go out of a state of con- bt demn&tion into a state of acceptance Cl with Ood or see others go without any rt agitation of soul he is in an unhealthy, o\ morbid stats and is as repulsive and pi absurd as a man who should boast ho cl saw a child snatched out from under a gi horse's hoefs and felt no agitation, or saw a man rescued from the fourth ol atory of a house on fire and felt no uc- Cl celsration of the pulses. tr Salvation from sin und death and in hell into life and peace and lleaven for- st erer is such a tremendous thing that si if a man tells mc he can look on it m without any agitation I doubt his Cl Christianity. The fact is that some- ni times excitement is the most impor- si tant possible thing. In case of resus- di citation from drowning or freezing hi IK* nno IHad ia in ? - ~ V?VI.C Itlilllltlliuil. ?] Before conversion we ure dead. It la oi the business of the church to revive, ta arouse, awaken, resuscitate, startle hi Into life. Excitement is bad or good Gi according to what it makes us do. If ct it make us do that which is bad, it is th bad excitement, but if it make us agi- in tated about our eternal welfare, if 01 it make us pray, if it make us attend h< upon Christian service, if it muke us Oi cry unto God for mercy, then it is a oi good excitement.

It haa been my o bservation that the earlier peop'e c omo Into the kingdom of God the mire > seful they are. Kobert Hall, the d rlnce of prtachera, was converted at a 2 years of age. It la likely he knew v rliat he was about Matthew lienry, t bo commentator, who did more thaa ny man of his century for increasing o be interest in the study of the Scrip- t ures, was converted at 11 yenrs of r get Isabella Graham, immortal in the c hrlstian church, was converted at ten 1 cars of age; Dr. Watts, whose hymns 1; 'ill be sung all down the ages, was li [inverted at nine years of age. Jona- c han Edwards, perhaps the mightiest o itelleot that tho American pulpit c vcr produced, was converted at Boven a cars of age, and that father' and I inthnr take un awful responsibility y lien they tell their child at seven v ears of age: "You are too young to a e a Christian," or "You are too young r i) connect) yourself with the church." t "hat is u mistake as long aa eternity. 1 If during a revival two persons pre- a ent themselves as candidates for the 1: liurch and the one is ten years of age J ud the other is 40 years of age. I will a ave more confidence In the profession ^ f religion of the one ten years of ago a linn the one 40 yenrs of age. Why? t 'he one who professes at 40 years of c go has 40 years of impulse in the to rrong direction to correct, and thv hild has only teD years in the wron:.- J d irection to correct. Four times ten }' rc 40. Four times the religious pr ?s- ^ ect for tho lad that comes intc the to ingrlom of God and Into the churcn at ? 5n years of age than the man at 40. c I am very apt to look upon revivals li s connected with certain men who istered them. People who In this 1 ay do not like revivals nevertheless u ave not words to express their adinl- e ition for the revivalists of the past, ? .>r tlicy were revivalists?Jonathan- c dwards, John Wesley" George Whit- v eld, Fletcher, Gri0in, Davies, Os- v orne, Knapp, Nettletou, Moody and inny others whose nafnes come to ly mind. The strength of their In- ? dlect and the holiness of their lives lake me think they would not havo * ad anything to do with that whloh P as ephetneral. Oh, it la easy to e ilk against revivals! ' '* A man said to Mr. Dawson: "I ke your sermons very much, but v tie after meetings I despise. When ? le prayer meeting begins I always a o up into the gallery and look down, 6 nd 1 am disgusted." "Well," said [r. Dawson, "the reuson is you go * n the top of your neighbor's house n nd look down his chimney to exam- * ic his Are, and of course you get nly smoke In your ayes. Why don't 4 Mil Onm? in nw' ^^ mam <U V/Ul auu OA V UUVVil ad warm?" Oh, I am afraid to say anything yuinst revivals of religion or against nythiag that looks Ilka them, be- ^ iuse I think it may be a sin against ^ le Holy Ghost, and you know ths ible says that a aln against the Holy ^ host shall never b? forgiven, neithsr t i this world nor the world to come, ow, if you are a painter and I speak j gainst j'our pictures, do I not speak B gainst you? If you aro an arohi- j ret, nud I speak against a building ^ ou put up, do I not speak against c au? If a revival be the work of the c oly Ghost, and I speak against that :vival, do I not apeak against the olv Ghost? And whoso speaketh ^ gainst the Holy Ghost, says the iblc, he shall never be forgiven, either in this worjd nor in the world ^ > come. I think* sometimes peiuflo n uvo made a fatal mistake set ion. \ u Now I come to .the real, genuine iuse of objection tn revivals. That the coldness of the objector. It is j le secret and hidden but unmistak <j ble cause in every case, a low stab- t 1 religion in the heart. Wide awake. js inseernted, useful Christians aro 0 ever afraid of revivals. It is the j liritually dead who are afraid of e aving their sepulcher molested. Tko t] lief agents of the devil during a n reat awakening are always uncon- it rrted professors of religion. As soon b s Christ's work begins they begin j p ) gossip ngainst it and take a pail v f water and try to put out this p lark of religious influence, and they c y to put out another spark. Do icy succeed? As well when Chicago V as on Are might somo one have t] one out with a garden water pot w ying to extinguish it.. The difficulty It that when a revival begins in a r lurch it begins at so many points v ;at while you have doused one anx- a his soul with a pail of cold water v iere are 500 other anxious souls on T re. Oh, how much better it would b ; to lay hold of tho chariot of e; hrist's Gospel and help pull it on d itlicr than to fling ourselves in front It t the wheels, trying to blook their x rogress. Wo wilt not stop the tl lariot, but we ourselves will be A round to powder. it lJut I think, ufter all, the greatest ti astacle to revivals throughout si tiristeudom is an unconverted minis- n y. We must believe that the vast o ajority of those who officiate at icretl altars are regenerated, but I o: ippose there may float into the w lnistry of nil the denominations of o tiristians men whoso hearts have w ;ver been changed by grace. They . " e all antagonistic to revivals. How d! d they get into the ministry? Per- pi ips some of them chose it as a re- fi icctable profession. Perhaps some u ' them were sincere, but were mis- 01 ken. As Thomas Chalmers said, he n k1 been many yenrs preaching the 01 ospel before his heart hnd been G iangsd, and as many ministers of w le Gospel declare they were preach- G g and hnd been ordalued to sacred w ders years and years before their ' arts were regenerated. Gracious o: ad, what a solemn thought for thosa ! us who minister at the altar! tl ith the present ministry in the ? Sorgt. Jasper's Company.

What a spectacle I During our civil war- the president if the "United States made proclarnaion for 75,000 troops. Borne of you emember the big stir. But the King if the universe to-day aska tor ,200,000,000 more troops than are eaisted, and we want it done softly, mperceptibly, no excitement, one me.

You will want ni ung as that to examine the goods, nd I'll want as long as that to exainne the credit, and besides that 1,000 ards of oloth is too much to sell all >t once?" No; you do not say that, 'ou take me into the counting-room, nd in ten minutes the whole transacion is consummated. The fact is we annot afford to bo fools in anything tut religion. That very merchant who on Saturhay afternoon sold- me the thousand ards of cloth at one stroke the next iabbath in church will stroke his eard and wonder whether it would tot bo better for a thousand souls to omo straggling along for ten years nstead of bolting in at one service. It seems to me as if Qorl Is prepsrng the world for some quick and iniversal movement. A celebrated lectrlclan gave me a telegraph chart f the world. On that chart the wires rosslngthe continents and the cables inder the sea looked like veins red dth blood. On that chart I see that he heudquarters of the lightnings are a Great Britain and tho United tates. In London and New York he lightnings are stabled, waiting o be harnessed for some quick disatch. That shows you that the telgraph is iu the possession of ChrisUnity. It is a significant fact that the man rho invented the telegraph was nn ld-fashloned Christian, Prof. Morse, nd that the man who put the teleraph under the sea was nn old-fashaned Christian. Cyrus W." Field, and bat tho president of the most fain vis of the telegraph companies of his country xrae an old-fashioned Ihristian, William Orton, going from he communion table on earth traight to his home in Heaven. TThet oes nil that mean? I do not suppose that tho telegraph ras invented merely to let us know rbether flour ls up or down or which orse won the race at the Derby or rhlch marksman beat at the latest ontest. I suppose the telegraph was avented and built to call tho world d God. In some of the attributes of the ,ord we seem to share on a small calo. For instance, in His love and iiir kindness. But until of l?tn fnr? nowledge, omulsoience, omnipresnee, omnipotence, seem to Lave been xcluslvelj God's possession.

I will tell you what next. Next, a tupendous religious movement. Next, ho end of war. Next,' the crash of espotism. Next, the world's expurgalon. Next, the Christliko dominion, 'ext. the judgment.
