STEADILY IMPROVES
DR. TALMAGE'S SUNDAY SERMON.
Argues That the World Grows Better
Day By Day-- Many Opportunities.
For Improvement. 1
WASHINGTON. D. C.-In this discourse
Dr. Talniago recites some great ovontB and
shows that thc world ia advunr.ing in thc
right direction; text, Joel ii, 30, "I will
6hov. wonders in the heavens and in the
earth/'
Dr. Cumming-great and good man
?would have told un the exact time of the
fulfillment of this prophecy. As I stepped
iuto Iiis i/ludy in London on my arrival
from Paris just after the French had sur
rendered at .Sedan thc good doctor eaid to
me: "It 13 just what I find told you about
Fr?tice. People laughed-nt mo because I
tailed abjut thc seven horns and the vials,
but I foresaw ?11 this from the hook of
Daniel and tho book of ltevelation." Not
taking any such responsibility in the in
terpretation of thc passage, I simply as
eert that there are in it suggestions of
many titiugs iii our time.
. Our c-yos dilate and our heart quickens
in its pulsations as wc read o? event?? in
thc third century, thc sixth century, thc
eighth ecutury, the fourteenth century,
but there w?re more far-reaching events
?Toweled intiVthe nnu-ieeuth century than
into any oti-:cr, and the last- twenty years
eclipse any preceding twenty. We read in
the doily newspapers of events announced
in one paragraph and without any special
.emphasis-events which a Herodotus, a
Josephus, a Xenophon, a (Jibbon, would
have taken whole chapters or whole vol
umes to elaborate. Looking out upon oar
time, w? must cry out in the words of the
text. "Wonders in the heavens and in the
earth."
1 propose to show you that (he lima in
which we live is wonderful for disaster
and wonderful for blcssinn, for there muct
he lights and shades in this picture as in
?ll others. Need I argue that our time is
.wonderful fur disaster? Our world has
had ri rough time since by tho h?md of
Cod it was bowled out into space, lt is
no epileptic earth-convulsion after convul
sion; iiosts pounding it with .-.lodpe ham
mer of icebergs and lires melting it with
furnaces seven times heated. It is a won
der to me it has last i'd :<:i long. Meteors
tbaoting by on this side und grazing it and
meteors shooting by on thc olher side and
grabing it. none o? them slowing up for
safety. Wh ile (tacts and navies and argo
gosks and flotillas of worlds sweeping all
about us. Our earth like a iirhiug smack
off the banks of Newfoundland, whi'e the
Majestic and the St. Paul and the Kaiser
Wilhelm dev Crcsse rush by. 13:sides
that, our world bas by sin. been damaged
in its internal machinery, and ever and
anon thc furnaces have burst, and thc
walking beami of the mountains have
broken, and the islands have shipped a
Bea. and the great hulk o? the world has
been jarred with accidents that ever and
anon threatened immediate demolition.
But it seems to ns as ic the iasfc hundred
years were especially characterized bv dis.
aster-volcanic, occ.t.iie, epidemic. ? say
volcanic because an earthquake is only a
volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and
<Totooa::i and Vesuvius ston breathing, let
the foundations of the earth beware! Sev
en thousand earthquakes in two centuries
recorded in the catalogue of the British as
eociation! -Trajan, the emperor, goc3 to
ancient Antioch, and amid the sp'endors
or bia reception is met hy ?n,' carthouakel
" ih&i "nearly'destroys thc emperor's life.
Lisbon, fair and beautiful, at 1 o'clock
on t he 1st of November, 1755, in six min
v": > 00,000 have perished, and Voltaire
y .ti or them, "For that region it was
.st judgment; nothing wanting but a
trr.mnet!" Eurone and America feeling
thc throb-1C00 chimneys in Hoscoa partly
or. fully destroyed!
1 Hut thc disasters of other times have
hid their counterpart in later times. In
-'1812 Caracas was caught in the crin of an
earthquake, in 1882 in Onie 100,000* squire
miles of land by volcanic force upheaved
to four and seven feet of permanent ele
vation, in 18.~4 Japan felt the geological
agony: Naples shaken in 1857, Mexico in
135S; Mendoza, the catii tal of the Argentine
^Republic, in 1861; Manila terrorized hi
18f:L the Hawaiian Island;; by such force'
.uplifted and let down itt 1871; Nevada
daken in 1871, Antioch in 1872: Cali for- ?
lnia in 1S72, San Salvador in. 1873, while
1833 what subterranean excitement! Is
chin, an island of the Mediterranean, a
;beautiful Italian watering place, vineyard
clad, surrounded by all natural ebarm and
historical reminiscence; yonder Capri, the
[Slimmer resort of the Ronen emperor?;
yonder Naples, the paradise o? art-this
?beautiful is ar.d suddenly toppled into the |
trough of the earth, 8000 merrymakers,
.perishing, and some of them so far down
.beneath the reach of beman obsequies that j
?it may be said of ninny a one of them, as !
.it vam paid of Moses, "The Lord burled
iiim." Italy, all Kuro-.ie weeping, all Chris
tendom weeping where there were hearts
to sympathize and Christians to pray, lint
iwhile thc nations nero measuring that
inn ..nilude of disaster, measuring it l.ot
-wiLb golden rod like that with which the
aniel measured beaven, bat with thc black
rule of f'eath, Java, of tho Indian archi
pel- vo, thc irost fertile i.land of all thc
,eai h, ia caught in the grip of tue earth-'
?make, and mountain after mountain ??ors I
jiluwii, and city after city until that island,1
which produces the best beverage of all
?the world, produced the ghastliest catasr j
Strophe. One hundred thousand people
.dying, dead! Coming nearer home, on j
.August 31. ISSI, the great earthquake I
.which prostrated one-half of Charleston,
i?. C.
I Cut look at the disasters cyclonic. At
?thc mouth of thc Ganges are three islands,
?the llattiah, the Sundtep and the Dakin
i?habazpore. In the midnight of October,
J1877, on all those threo islands thc cry
war. "The waters!" A cyclone arose and
trolled the sci over those three islands,
:and of a population of 310,000, 215,000 were
{drowned. Only those saved who had
climbed to the top of the highest trees!
(Did you ever ste a cyclone? No? Then'1
.I pray Ced you may never sec ene. I gaw
.'a cyclone on the ocean, and it awept us
SOO miles hack from our course, and for
?thirty-six hours during the cyclone and
lofter it we expected every moment to go
Ito the bottom. They told us before wc re
?tired at 9 o'clock that the barometer had
'.fallen, hut at II o'clock at night wo wore
awakened villi the shock o? the waves.
All thc I ?uh ts out! Crash went all the iife
bnats. Waters rushing through thc sky?
'lights down into lbj cabin and down on
the fiirupces until they hisse;! and smoked
in thc deluge. Seven hundred people
praying, shrieking. Our great ship poised
a moment on the lop o< a mountain of
phosphorescent lire and then plunged
?low n, down, down until it scamed as if
'?he never w?uid again be righted. Ah,
you never want to f.ee a cyclone ut sea!
. ; Hut I \vi?s in Minnesota, where there
was ono ci those cyclones ou laud that
swept tho city o?-Rochester from ita foun?
datioaa aud took dwelling houses, barna,
men, women, children, horses, cattle and
tossed them into indiscriminate ruin and
lifted a rail train and dashed it ?own, a
mightier hand thau that of engineer on
the airbrake. Cyclone in Kansas, cycione
in Missouri, cyc'.ono in Wisconsin, cyclone
in Illinois, cyclone iu Jowa! Satan, prince
of the power of the air, never made ouch
cyclonic disturbances as he has in our day.
And am I not right in saying that one of
the characteristics of the limo ia which
we live is disaster .cyclonic?
But look at thc disasters oceanic. Shall
I call the roll of the dead shipping? Yo
monsters of the deep, answer w.ien I call
your names. The Ville de Havre, the
Schiller, the City of Boston, the Melville,
thc President, the Cimbria, thc Utegon,
the Mohegan. But why should I go on
calling thc roll when nom: of them an
swers, and thc roll is as tong as the white
scroll of the Atlantic surf at Cape Hat
teras breakers? lt the oceanic cables could
report all the scattered life and all the
bleached boues that they rub against in
thc ocean, what a message of pathos aud
tragedy for both beaches! In one storm
eighty ?shermen perished off the coast of
Newfoundland and whole fleets of them
off the coast of England. Cod help the
poor fellows at sea aud give high scats in
heaven to thc Grace Darlings and Ida
Lewises and the lifeboat men hovering
arouud Goodwin sands and the Skerries!
Tho sea, owning three-fourths of the earth,
proposes to capturo the other fourth, and
is bombarding " the land all around the
carin. Thc moviug ol the hotels at Brich
? ton Beach backward 109 yards from where
! they once stood, a type of what is going
on all around thc wotTd and on every
coast. Thc Dead Sea rolls lo-day where
ancient cities stood.
So I rejoice day by day. Work for all
to do, and we may turu the crank of tho
Christian machinery this way or that, for
we are free agents. But there is the track
laid so long ago no one remembers it-laid
by the hand of the Almighty God in sock
ets that no terrestrial or satanic pressura
can ever affect.
And along the track the car of tho
world's redemption will roll and roll to
the Grand Central depot of the millen
nium. I ha\e no anxiety about the track.
I am only afraid that for our indolence
and unfaithfulness Cod will discharge us
and get some otljcr stoker and some other
; engineer. Thc train is going through with
us or without us.
There is a house in London where Peter
thc Great cf Russia lived awhile when he
was moving through thc land incognito
and in workman's dress, that bc might
learn ship carpentry, by which ho could
supply the needs of Vis people. A stran
ger was visiting at that house, "What's
ia that box?" The owner said: "I don'i
know. That box was there when I got the
home, and it was there when my father
got it. We havn't had any curiosity tD
look at it. I guess there's nothing in it."
"Well," said the stranger. "I'll give voil
?2 tor it." ''Well, done." The ?> was
paid, and the contents of that box were
sold to thc Czar of Russia for $30,000. In
it thc lathing machine of Peter the Great,
his private letters and document" of value
beyond all monetary consideration. And
here are the events that seem very insig
nificant and unimportant, but they incase
treasures of Divine Providence and eterni
ties of meaning which after awhile Cod
will demonstrate before the agc; as being
of stupendous value.

Those of you who arc in midlife may well
thank God that you have seen so many
wondrous things, but there arc people
alive ro-day who may lire to sec the shim
mering veil between the material and thc
spiritual world lifted.
Magnetism, a word with which wc cover
up our ignorance, will yet be an explored
realm, Electricity, the fiery courier of
thc sky, that Benjamin Franklin lassoed
and Morse and Bell and Edison hr.vc
brought under complcce control, has
greater wonders to reveal.
Whether herc or departed this life, we
will see these things, li; does no; make
nuch difference where we stand, but the
higher the standpoint the larger the pros
pect. Wc will see them from heaven it
we do no; seo the n from earth.
Years ago I was at Fire ls'and, Long
Island, and I went up in thc cuno a from
which they telcgranh to New York the
approach of yesse'e hours befo.-? thc;, coma
into port. Thsre is an opening in the wal',
and the operator puts hi. telcf.eo.ie through
that opening and looks out and Kees ves
sels far ont at sea. While I was talking
with him he went un and looked o^t. lie
raid, "We are. expecting Hie Arizona to
night." I said: "ls it possible yon know
all those vessels? Do you know them as
you kno-/ a man's face?" HT said: "Yes.
f never make a mistake. Boiore I sro tilt
hulls I orten know them by the masts. I
knox* them all-I have watchc I them so
long."
Oh, what a cr.-.nd thine; it is to have
ships telegraphed and heralded lc-.ig before
they come to port, that friends may come
down to the wharf and welcome their long
absent ones! So to-day wc take our stand
in the wa.ch tower, and through thc g.ass
of inspiration wc look off and see a whole
fleet of ships coming in. That is thc shin
of peace, flag with one star of Bethlehem
floating above thc topgallants. That is
tlie ship of the church, mark of salt water
high upon thc smokestack, showing she
has had rough weather, but thc Captain
of Salvation commands har, and all i:i* well

waiting for millions more, prophets and

Dnncerfc ot Alcoholism.
It ia needless to enter into details as to
the coi\6enuenccs entailed by overindul
gence in thc u=c of alcohol. Most of us
arc familiar with cns?s of ruined lives and
wretched homes as the resn't. of the fatal
habit, and in these days of high-pressure
living it in becoming more and more com
mon. Menial worry, overwork, ill-health,
w:mt of sufficient nourishment and clolh
ine trod to swell the number ol' chronic
alcoho'.i?ts, and the habit so easily ac
quired is c::lrcnic?y difficult to relinquish.
The real danger tn the race, however,
lies in the fact that the great majority of
inebriates need no incentive to acquire the
habit: t''"y are born with tho tendency,
and it is to this cause ch icily that we
must, ascribe the increase in the number of
deaths from chronic alcoholism during tne
last twenty-three yon-is. A reference to
the tab!e of statistics shows that in 1875
twenty-seven persons in i.?0f?.O0!) died as
the result of chronic alcoholism: in 1S93
thrsa J??iroa had mcoi Uun dotjhJcH Lfeem
se.vi-s. Lie nuiuucr men uen>g recurnea aa
sixty-five ner 1,000,091) of population.
The following quotations point to the
conclusions arrived nfc by some of the
nioefc eminent men of the day:
"Heredity as a causation is estimated
to be present in nearly sixty per cent, of
all esses of chronic a'cohoiism. '
"There are not a few human beings 60
saturated with the taint or alcoholic he
redity that they could ns soon 'turn back a
flowing river from the sea' as arrest the
march of an attack o? alcoholism." 1
Much that has been 6nid respecting in
sanity applies equally to inebriety. Iloth
belong to the group of diseases of the ner
vous system, chowing a marked tendency
to degeneration, and both are liable to bo
transmitted hereditarily. - Westminster

NEGRO SUPERSTITION.

Many of the negro superstitions In
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity; "if you want peppers to
grow, you must git mad. My old
'oman an' mo had a spat, an' I went
right out an" planted my peppers, an'
they cam? right up." Still another
Baying is that peppers, to prosper, must
Iv? planted by a red-headed or by a
high-tempered person. The negro also

groes place implicit trust are the well
known ones of tho ground hog appear
ing above ground on the 2d of Febru
ary; that a hoe must not be carried
through a house or a death will fol
low, and that potatoes must be plant

all vegetables that ripen in the ground,

light of the moon. Feed gunpowder
to dogs and it will make them fierce.
A negro will not burn the wood of a
tree that has been struck by lightning,
for fear that his house will burn or
be struck by lightning. If a bird flies
into a house it brings luck. If a craw
fish or a turtle catches your toes lt
will hold on till it thunders. When a
child I was told by a black nurse that
If a bat alights on one's head It will
stay there till It thunders. This was
so terrifying that, oven now I have an
unnecessary fear of being clutched by
a bat. To make soap, stir it with a

A good story ls told of England's
heir apparent, who recently made the
grand imperial tour. He was riding on
a London 'hus incog, not many months
ago, and, being of an Inquiring turn
of mind, asked the driver, beside whom
ho sat, his reason for exclaiming,
whenever he whipped up one of the
horses, "Come up, your royal high
ness, will you?" "Why do you call
him royal highness?" asked the duke.
"Well, sir." he replied civilly, " 'cause
he's so 'orly and lazy, and good for
nothing! See?" His royal highness
did not pursue the .subject, but after
ward told the story to his friends with
great gleo^ anil so it got into print.
