STEADILY IMPROVES
DR. TALMAOE'S SUNDAY SERMON.
Argues That the World Grows Better
Day By Day-- Many Opportunities!
For Improvement. '
WASHINGTON,. D. C.-In this niacouree
Dr. Talraage recites nomo great events and
shows that the world is advancing in the
right direction; text. Joel ii, 30, "I will
shew wonders in the heavens and in the
earth."
Dr. Cumming-great and good man
would have told us the exact time of the
fulfillment of this prophecy. As I stepped
into his r/udy in London on my arrival
from Paris just after the French had sur
rendered at Sedan the good doctor said to
me: "It is just what? I had told you about
France. People laughed ut mc because I
talked about the seven horns and the vials,
but I foresaw all this from the book of
Daniel and tho book of Revelation." Not
ta?; in; any such responsibility in the in
terpretation of thc passage, I simply ns
ecrt that there are in it suggestions of
many things in our time.
' Oar eyes dilate and our heart quickens
in its pulsations as wc read oi event* in
the third century, the sixth century, the
eighth century, the fourteenth century,
Lut there wive more far-reaching eveuts
crowded int.vthe nineteenth century than
into any otktr, and the lase twenty years
eclipse any preceding twenty. We read in
the daily newspaper?? of events announced
ia one paragraph and without any special
emphasis-events which a Herodotus, a
Josephus, a Xenophon, a Gibbon, would
have taken whole chapters or whole vol
umes to elaborate. Looking out upon our
time, wa must cry out in the words of the
text. "Wonders in the heavens and in the
earth."
I propose to ?how you that the tims in
which we live is wonderful for disaster
and wonderful for blessing, for there muct
he lights and ?hades in this picture as in
nil others. Need I argue that our lime is
wonderful for disaster? Our world has
had a rough time since by the hand of
God it was bowled out into ?pace. It is
an epileptic earth-convulsion after convul
sion ; frosts pounding it with -.?lodge ham
mer of icebergs and lires melting it with
furnaces seven times heated. It is a won
der to me it has lasted so long. Meteors
choosing hy on this side and grazing it and
me,rora shooting hy 0.1 thc other side and
grabing it, none o? them slowing up for
safety. Whole (leets and navies and argo
Kosic3 and flotillas of worlds sweeping all
ahout us. Om" earth like a helling smack
.oft the bank? of Newfoundland, whi'e the
Majestic and tito St. Paul and the Kaiser
Wilhelm der^ Crosse rush by. Insides
that, oar T.'or.d has hy sin been damaged
in its internal machinery, and ever and
anon the furnaces have hurst, and thc
walking Leann of the mountains have
broken, nnd the islands have shipped a
Bea, and thc great hulk o? thc world has
been jarred with accidents that ever and
anon threatened immediate demolition.
But it seems to us as ii the last hundred
years were especially characterized bv dis*
usier-voVanic, oceanic, epidemic. ? say
volcanic because an earthquake is only a
volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and
<^otooaxi and Vesuvius ston breathing, let
the foundations of the earth beware! Sev
en thousand earthquakes in two centuries
recorded in the catalogue of thc British as
sociation! -Trojan, the v emperor, goes to
ancient Antioch, and amid the sp endors
of- his reception is met by ?TV'cari-.hpuakel

or. fully destroyed!
1 But U12 dfcasters of other timos have
;hid their counterpart in later times. In
. 1812 Carneas was caught in the grip of an
earthquake, in 1882 in Chile 100,000 6quare
miles of land by volcanic force upheaved
to four and seven feet of permanent ele
vation, in 1854 Japan felt the geological
agony: Naples shaken in 1857, Mexico in
1353; Mendoza, the catii tal of tho Argentine
Republic, in 1861; Manila terrorized in
1863: the Hawaiian Islands by such force
.uplifted and let down in 1871; Nevada
shaken in 1871, Antioch in 1872: Califor
nia in 1S72, San Salvador in. 1873, while
1833 what subterranean excitement! Is
.chia, an island of the Mediterranean, a
^beautiful Italian watering place, vineyard
clad, surrouudtd by all natural charm ana
.historical reminiscence; yonder Capri, the
[summer resort of the Ilorir.n emperors;
^yonder Naples, the paradise of art-this
?.beautiful is nr.d suddenly toppled into the
trough of the earth. 8000 merrymakers
?menin?, and come of them HO far down
eneath the reach of hr.man obsequies that
,it nay be said of many a one of them, as
.it rrj paid of Moses, "The Lord burled
:Iiun." Italy, all Euro-ie weeping, all Chris
.tendom weeping where there wore hearts
.to sympathize and Christians to pray. But
iwh?e thc nations wcro measuring that
'magnitude of disaster, measuring io i.ot
rwilh golden rod like that with wrich the
an^el measured heaven, but with the black
rule of f'eath, Java, of thn Indian archi

which produces the bpst beverage of ali

. dying, dead! Coming nearer honie, on
{AugUfct 31. I8S5, the great earthquake
which prostrated one-half of Charleston,
!?. C.
j But loo?: at the disasters cyclonic. At
?thc mouth of thc Ganges are three islands,
?thc flattiah, the Sundeep and the Dakin
(Shabuzpore. In thc midnight of October,
p877, on all those threes islands thc cry
war, "Tic waters!" A cyclone arose and
troted the sci ox er those three islands,
jand of a population of 340,000, 215,000 were
j drowned. Only those saved who had
.climbed to the top of tlie highest "trees!.
(Did yoii ererbte a cyclone? No? Then'
tl pray God you muy never see one. I EIW
Ja cyclone ou thc ocean, and it swept us
'SOO niles back from our course, and for
{thirty-six hours during the. cyclone ?.nd
'after it we expected every moment to go
. to the bottom. They to'd it? before we re
jtircd at 0 o'clock that the barometer had
'fallen, but at ll o'clock at night wo were
awakened with thc shoL-k of thc waves.
'All the Hehts out! Crash went all the life
jbnat?. Waters rushing through the sky
lights down into U13 cabin and down on
|the furnaces until they hissed aud smoked
?in U12 dshisn. Seven hundred people
praying, shrieking. Our great ship poised
'a moment on the ton o? a mountain of
phosphorescent fire and then plunged
?down, down, down until it seemed as if
'she never weuid again be righted. Ah,
you never want to ftc a cyclone at sea!
. i But I wi>i in Minnesota, where there
wes o-.vo cf those cyclones on land that
.swept the city-of^Rochester from its foun?
dations 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, cyclone
in Missouri, cyclone in Wisconsin, cyc.ono
in Illinois, cyclone in Iowa! Satan, prince
of the power of the air, never made such
cyclonic disturbances as he has in our day.
And am I not right in saying that one of
tho characteristics of the time ia which
we live is disaster .cyclonic?
But look at the disasters oceanic. Shall
I call the roll of the dead shipping? Ye
monsters of the deep, answer w:ien I call
your names. The Ville de Havre, the
Schiller, the City of Boston, the Melville,
the President, th?? Cimbria, the Oregon,
the Mohegan. But why should I go on
calling the roll when noue of them an
swers, and the roll is as long UH the white
scroll of the Atlantic surf at Cape Hat
teras breakers? If the oceanic cables could
report all the scattered life and nil the
bleached boues that they rub against in
thc ocean, what a message of pathos aud
tragedy for both beaches! In one ?torin
eighty fishermen perished off thc coast of
Newfoundland and whole fleets of them
off the coast of Eugland. God help the
non.- fellows ct sea and give high scats in
heaven to thc Grace Darlings and Ida
Lewises and the lifeboat men hovering
around Goodwin sands and the Skerries!
Tho sea, owning three-fourths of the earth,
proposes to capturo the other fourth, and
13 bombarding " the land all around the
earth. The moviug o" the hotels at Brigh
ton Beach backward 100 yard? from where
they once stood, a trpe o? what is going
on all around the world and on every
coast. The Dead Sea rolls to-day where
ancient cities stood.
So I rejoice day by day. Work for all
to do, and we may turu the crank of the
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 the
world's redemption will roll and roll to
the Grand Central depot of the millen
nium. I have no anxiety about ths track.
I am only afraid that for our indolence
and unfaithfulness God will discharge us
and get some otljcr stoker and some other
engineer. The traiu is going through with
us or without us.
There is a house in London wher^ Peter
the Great of Russia lived awhile when he
was moving through thc land incognito
and in workman's dress, that he might
learn ship carpentry, by which he could
iiupply thc needs of his people. A stran
ger was visiting nt that house, "What's
in tfcnt box?" The owner enid: "I don't
know. That box was there wheu I got the
house, and it was there when ir.y father
got it. We havn't had any curiosity ta
look afc it. I guess there's nothing in it."
'"Well," said thc stranger. 'Til give vou
?2 for it." "Well, done." The ?2 was
paid, and the contents of that box were
sold to thc Czar of Russia for ?.10.01)0. In
it thc lathing machine ot Peter the Great,
his private letters and documents of value
beyond all monetary consideration. And
here are the events that seem very insig
nificant and unimportant, but they incala
treasures of Divine Providence and eterni
ties of meaning which after awhile Cod
will demonstrate before the ngC3 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 to-day who may live to sec the shim
mering veil between the material and tho
spiritual world lifted.

Whether here or departed this life, we

Years ago I was at Fire ls'and, Long
Island, and I went up in thc cunara from
which they telegranh to New York tin
approach of vesse's hours before the;, coma
into port. There is an opening in the wal1,
and the operator puts hie teleecope through
that opening and loo":* out and sees ves
sels far out at sea. While I was talking
with him he went un and looked cut. Ke
raid, "We are expecting lha Arizona to
night." I said: "Is ic possible you know
all those vessels? Do you know them as
you kno-/ a man's facer" He said: "Yes.
C never make a mistake. Before I see tin
hulls I oiten know them by the masts. I
kno>' them all-I have watclx 1 them co
long."
Oh, what a j-v.-.nd thing it is to have
ships telegraphed and heralded lcog 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 walch tower, andjthrough thc glass
of inspiration wc look off and ssc a whole
fleet of ships coining in. That is thc shin
of peace, flag with one 6tnr of Bethlehem
floating above the topgallants. That is
tlie ship of the church, mark of salt water
high upon thc smokestack, showing she
hus had rough weather, but the Captain
of Salvation commands her, and all ia* well
with her. The ship of heaven, mightiest
craft ever launched, millions of passengers
waiting for' millions more, prophets and
apostles and martyrs in the cabin, con
querors at the foot of the mast, while from
the rigging hands arc waving tim way as
if they knew us, and we wave back again,
for they are burs. They went out from
our own households. Onrs! Hail, ha.l!
Put off the black and put on thc white.
Stop tolling the iuncral bell nnd ring the
wedding anthem. Shut up the hearse and
take the chariot.
Now the ship comes around the great
headland. Soon she will striae thc wharf
and we will go aboard her. Tcat-3 for
ships going ont. Laughter for shipJ cam
in?; in. Now she touches the wharf.
Throw out the planks. Elock not un that
(gangway with embracing long lc it friends,
tor yo.t will have eternity of ratraion.
Stand back and give way until other mill
ions come aboard her. Farewell to Kin!
Farewell to struggle! Farewell to sick

That olnss of philosophers who are en

drunkenness and its attending vices and
miseries are clearly ft nart of ibo progress
of the human mee will find little comfort
in Dr. Jordan's article. Conceding i to
those gentlemen a jvgrtnin nmouni-. of truth
which it would he extremely difficult to

dan onys:
"The effect nf alcoholic drink on race

Tt is mor-o-'er tm? that most excess in

Dancers nt Alcoholism.
It is needless to enter into details as to
the conseouences entailed by overindul
gence in the u?e of alcohol. Most of us
arc familiar with cases of ruined lives and
wretched homes as the result of the fatal
habit, and in these days of high-pressure
living it. is becoming more and more com
mon. Mental worry, overwork, ill-health,
want of sufficient, nourishment and cloth
inc tend to swell thc number of chronic
alcohol ists, nnd the habit so easily ac
quired is extremely difficult to relinquish.
Tito real danger t-> the race, however,
lies in the fact that the great majority of
inebriates need no incentive to acquire the
habit: they ate born with the tendency,
and it is to this cause chiefly that we
must ascribe the increase in the number of
deaths from chronic alcoholism during tne
last twenty-three yon&s. A reference to
the table of statistics shows that in 1S75
twenty-seven persons in i.000.000 died as
the result of chronic alcoholism : tn 1S03
thffsa limtro? J*ad meo? ?un doubjcii tlis^ni
se.vcs. tile nimmer men oeiug returned as
sixty-five per 1,000,000 of population.
The following quotations point to the
conclusions arrived at, by some of the
c".:_ej?* xczT, sf thc day:
"Heredity ns a causation is estimated
to he present in nearly si*cty per cent, of
all esses of chronic a'coho?ism. '
"There are not a few human beings so
saturated with the taint or alcoholic he
redity that-they could as soon 'turn back a
flowing river from the sea' as arrest the
march of on attack of alcoholism."
Much that'has been said respecting in
sanity applies equally to inebriety. Both
belong to the group of diseases of the ner
vous system, chowing a marked tendency
to degeneration, and both ore liable to bo
transmitted hereditarily. - Westminster
Review.
