Washington, Oct. A.
The c' arm of au exalted religion is
by Dr. Talmage iu this discourse il- j
lustrated and commended; text, Job,
Kb: 17: "The crystal cannot equal it."
Many of the precious stones of the
Bible have conic to prompt recognition.
But for the present 1 take up the less ^
valuable crystal. Job, in my text, \
compares saviug wisdom with a speci
men of topaz. An infidel chemist or
mineralogist would pronounce the lat- j
ter worth more than the former, but
Job makes an intelligent comparison, I
looks at religion and then looks at ,
the crystal and pronounces the former j
as of far superor value to the latter, I
exclaiming, in the words of my text:
*'The crystal cannot equal it."
Now, it is not a part of my serinonic
design to depreciate the crystal,
whether it be found in Cornish mine
or liarz mountain or Mammoth cave
or tinkling among the pendants of tlie
chandeliers of u palace. The crystal
is the star of the mountain; it is the
queen of the cave; it is the eardrop of
the hills; it iinds its heaven in the dia- j
xnond. Among all the pages of natural
history there 13 no page more interesting
to me than the page crystal- ]
lographic. lint 1 want to show 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 nges, declat ing: "The
crystal cannot equal it."
, ? In the first place, 1 remark that religion
is superior to the crystal in exactness.
That shapeless mass of crystal
against which you accidentally
dashed your foot is laid out with more
exactness than any earthly city. I
There are six styles of crystallization
and all of them divinely ordained.
Every crystal has mathematical pre- ;
cision. God's geometry reaches
through it, and it is a square, or it is
a rectangle, or its a rhomboid, or In
some way it has a mathematical figure.
Now, religion bents that in th- t.u o'.e
fact that spiritual accuracy is more
beautiful than material accuracy.
God's attributes are exact, Ccd's law
exact, God's decrees exact, God's management
of the world exact. Never
counting wrong though he counts the
grass blades and the stars and the
sands and the cycles. His l'rovide .e
never dealing with us perpendicularly
when those providences ought to l<e
oblique, nor latcrly when they ought
to be vertical. Everything in our life
arranged without nny possibility of
mistake. Each life a six-lieaded prism.
Born at the right time; dying at the
, right tiuie. There are no "happen soV

right. "The crystal cannot equal it."
Again 1 remark that religion is uperior
to the crystal in transparency.
We know not when or by whom glass
was first discovered. Heads of it have
been found in the tomb of Alexander
Severus. Vases of it are brought up
from the ruins of Ilarculaneum. There
were female adornments in.ido out of
it 3,000 years ago?il: j?e adornments
found now attached to the mummies
of Egypt. A great many commentators
believo that i: y ttxt means
glass. What would we do without the
crystal? The cry - Ml in the v nowto

Infidels tell us it is opaque. Ho
you know why they teil us it is , ique?
It is because they are blind. "The

God, because ther are rj la y <1 concerned."

nderstand why they lied about yo? tl
nd tried to drive you hither and Kl
thither. It was to put you m th? tl
glorious company of such men us Ig- \\
liatius, who, when lie went out to l>? Bi
destroyed by the lions, said: "I an: nl
the wheat, and tho teeth of the wild jt
beasts must tiro't grind me before 1
can become pure bread for Jesui pi
Christ." Or the company of such men , %"
as "tlint ancient Christian martyr* Ml
who. when standing- in the midst 01 ti
the atnphithcutei waStinj; for th? j:
lions to come out of th"ir cave and o
destroy him and the people in the ti
galleries jeering and shouting: "The ti
lions!" replied: "Let them come on!' ci
and then, stooping down toward the b
cave where the wild beasts were roar- n
ing to got out, again cried: "Lei v<
them come on!" Ah, ves, it is perse- 1*
cut ion to put you in glorious com- C
pany, and while there are many o
things that you will have to postpone t(
to the future world for explanation ti
1 tell you that it is the whole tend- ei
enry of your religion to unravel ami ei
explain and interpret and illumine li
and irradiate. Job was right. It is "
a glorious transparency. "The crystal
cannot equal it."
I remark again that, religion sttr- h
passes the crystal in its beauty. The U
lump of crystal is put under tlie mag- ti
nifying glass of the crystallograph- J'
or and he sees in it indescribable ex- 11
quisiteness?snowdrift and splinters ?
of hoar frost and corals and wreaths ri
and stars and crowns and eonstellations
of conspicuous beauty, 'i'he fact Bl
is that crystal is so beautiful that 1 ri
can think of but one tiling in oil the Cl
universe that is as beautiful, and c?
that is the religion of the Bible. No
wonder this Bible represents that re- ?
ligion as the daybreak, as the apple
blossoms, as the glitter of a king's 0
banquet. It is the joy of the whole
earth. 11
People talk too much about their
t 1
cross and not enough about their
crowns. Do you know that the BibTo 1
mentions u cross but "7 times, while '
it mentions n crown 80 times? Ask "
that old man what he thinks of re- ^
ligion. lie has been a close observer. ^
He has been cultivating an esthetic ''
taste, lie has seen the sunrises ol *
half a century. He has hern an early
riser, lie has been an admirer oI *.
cameos and corals and nil kinds ol '
beautiful things. Ask him what hu '
thinks of religion, ami he will tell
you: "ft is the most beautiful thing '
1 ever saw. The crystal cannot
equal it."
Beautiful in its symmetry. When it (
presents Hod's character, it does not "
present llitn as having love like a great
protuberance on one side of His na* ''
tare, but makes that love in harmony '
with llis justice?a love that will ac- J,'
cept all thocc who come to Him, and a
j justice that will by no means clear p
the guilty, lfeautiful religion in tho j,
sentiment it implants! Beautiful religion
in the hope it kindles! Beautful s
religion in the fact that it proposes to u
garland and enthrone and euiparadise ?
an immortal spirit. Solomou says it 11
is a lily, l'aul says it is a crown. The 1
Apocalypse s.i\s it is a fountain kissed n
by the sun. E/.ekiel says it is a foliaged n.
cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom 'i
come to fetch home a bride. While 1
Job in the text lakes up a whole vase
of precious stones?the topaz and the .
sapphire and tlie chrysuprasus?he
li.dds out of this beautiful vase just one 1
crystal and holds it up until it gleams I ^
in the warm light of the eastern sky. I v

a stupid religion; it is not a toothless |

"there isn't anything in that to lake

"Are you sure you meant ItV*
"Every word of it."
"You had given the matter due consideration
before you spoke?"
"Certainly. Do you doubt it, Henrietta?"
"Oh, no. But I can't help attaching
some signiiicance to the fact that I
hadn't uttered a word during the ten
minutes previous to your enthusiastic

"Well?"
"Well, you'll have to give me a Job
