i&Q. P vDR. TALMAGE'S SERMON SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: Influences Once Hostile Now Friendly to Christ?Weapon# Formerly Used Against tlie Lord's Annies . Captured and Fut to His Service. [Copyright 1901.1 waphington. U. (J.?In this discourse Dr. Talmage calls the roll of influences once antagonistic but now friendly to the gospel and encourages Christian workers; text, I Samuel xxi, 9, "There is none like that; give it me." David fled from his pursuers. The world runs very fast when it is chasing a good man. The country is trying to catch David and to slay him. David goes into the house of a priest and asks him for a sword or spear with which to defend himself. The priest, not being accustomed to use deadly weapons, tells David that he cannot supply him, but suddenly the priest thinks of an old sword that had been carefully wrapped up and laid away?the very 6word that Goliath formerly used?and he takes down that sword, and while he is unwrapping the sharp, glittering, memorable blade it flashes upon David's mind that this is the very sword that was used against himself when he was in the fight with Goliath, and David can hardly keep his hand off it until the priest has unwound it. David stretches^ out his Jiand toward that old 6\vord ana savs, "mere is none like that; give it me'*?in other words, "I want in my own hand the Bword wuich has been used aeainst me and against the cause of God. So it was given him. Well, my friends, that is not the first or the last sword once used by giant and Philistine iniquity which is to come into the possession of Jesus Christ and of His glorious church. I want, as well as God may help me. to show you that many a weapon which has been used against the armies of God is yet to be captared and used on our side, and I only imitate David when I stretch out my band toward that blade of the Philistine and cry, "There is none like that; give it me!" I remark, first, that this is tiue in regard to all scientific exploration. You know that the first discoveries in astronomy and geology and chronology were used to battle Christianity. Worldly philosopbv came out of its laboratory and out of its observatory and said, "Now we will prove, by the very structure of the earth and by the movement of the heavenly bodies, that the Bible is a lie, and that Christianity, as we have it among men, is a positive imposi tion." Uood men tremoiea. ine teiescope, the Leyden jars, the electric batteries, all in the "hands of the Philistines. But one day Christianity, looking about for some weapon with wnich to defend itself, happened to see the verv old sword that these atheistic Philistines had been using against the truth and cried out, "There is none like that; give it me!" And Copernicus and Galilei and Kepler and Isaac Newton and Herschel and 0. M. Mitchell came forth and told the world that in their ransacking of the earth and heavens they found overwhelming presence of the God wiiom we worship, and this old Bible began to shake itself from the Koran and Shaster and Zendavesta; with which it had been covered up, and lav on the desk of the scholar and in the laboratory of the chemist and in the lap of the Christian unharmed and unanswered, while the tower of the midnight heavens struck a silvery chime in its praise. Worldly philosophy Baid: "Matter is eternal. The world always was. God did maU if " PViriefinn nViilnsfmhx- nlucea its crowbar into rocks and finds that the world was gradually made, and, if gradually made, there must have been some point at which the process started. Then who started it? And so that objection was overcome, and in the first three words of the Bible we find that Moses stated a magnificent truth when he 6aid, "In the beginning." Worldly philosophy said: "Your Bible is a most inaccurate book. All that story in the Old Testament again and again told about the army of the locusts?it is preposterous. There is nothing in the coming of the locusts like an army. An army walks; locusts fly. An army goes in order and procession; locusts without order." "Wait," said Christian philosophy, and in 1868, in the southwestern part of this country, Christian men went out to examine the march of the locusts. There are men right before me who must have noticed in that very part of the country the coming up of the locusts like an army, ana it was louna tnai an me ucwa^apcio unwittingly spoke of them as an army. Why? They seem to have a commander. They march like a host; they halt like a host. No arrow ever went in straighter flight than the locusts come?not even turning aside for the wind. If the wind rises the locusts drop and then rise again after it. has gone down, taking the same line of march, not varying a foot. The old Bible is right every time when it speaks of locusts coming like an army; worldly philosophy wrong. Worldly philosophy said, "All that story about the light 'turned as clay to the seal is simply an absurdity." Old time worldly philosophy said, "The light comes straight." Christian philosophy says, "Wait a little while." And it goe9 on and makes discoveries and finds that the atmosphere curves and bends the rays of light around the earth literally "as the clay to the seal." The Bible right again; worldly philosophy wrong again. "An," eaya worldly philosof?hy, "ail that allusion to Job about the oundations of the earth is simply an absurdity. 'Where wast thou,' says God. 'when I set the foundations of the earth?' The earth has no foundation." Christian philosophy comes and finds that the word as translated "foundations" may be better translated "sockets." So now we see howit will read if it is translated right. "Where wa6t thou when I set the sockets of the earth?" Where is the socket? It is the hollow of God's hand?a socket large enough for any world to turn in. Worldly philosophy said: "What an absurd story about Joshua making the sun and moon stand still. If the world had stopped an instant, the whole universe would have been out of gear." '"Stop," said Christian philosophy, "r.ot quite so quick!" The world has two motions?one on its own axis and the other around the sun. It was not necessary, in making them stand still, that both motions should be stopped?only the one turning the world on its own axis. There was no reason why the halting of the earth should have jarred and disarranged the whole universe. Joshua right and God right; infidelity wrong every time. I knew it would be wrong. I thank God that the time has come when Christians need not be scared at any scientific exploration. The fact is that religion and science have struck hands in eternal friendship, and the deeper down geolopv can dig the higher up astronomy can soar all the better for us. The armies of the Lord Jesus Christ have stormed the observatories of the world'ts science, and from the highest towers have flung out the banner of the cross ani^Christiamty now. from the observatories at Albany and Washington, stretches out its hand toward the opposing scientific weapon, crying, "There is none like that; give it me!" I was reading of Herschel, who was looking at a meteor through a telescope, and when it came over the face of the telescope it was so powerful he had to avert his eyes. And it has been just so that many an astronomer has gone into an ob servatory and looked up into trie nnumgm, heavens, and the Lord God has. through some swinging world, flamed upon his vision, and the learned man cried out: "Who am I? Undone! Unclean! Have mercy, Lord God!" Again, I remark, that the traveling disposition of the world, which was adverse to morals and religion, is to be brought on our 6ide. The man that went down to Jericho and fell amid thieves was a type of a great many travelers. There is many a man who is very honest at home who when he is abroad has his honor filchcd and his good habits stolen. There are but very few men who can stand the stress of an expedition. Six weeks at a watering place have ruined many a man. In the olden times God forbade the traveling of men for the purposes of trade because of the corrupting influences attending it. A good many men now cannot stand the transition from one place to another. Some men who seem to be very consistent here in the way of keeping the Sabbath when they get into Spain on the Lord's day always ?o to see the bullfights. Plato said that no city ought to be built nearer to the sea than ten miles lest it be tempted to commerce. But this traveling disposition of the world, which was adverse to that which is good, is to be brought on our side. These mail trains?why, they take our Bibles; these steamers, they transport our missionaries; these sailors, rushiirg from city to city all around the world, are to be converted into Christian heralds and go out and preach Christ among the heathen nations. The gospels infinitely multiplied in beauty and power since Robinson and Thompson and Burckhardt have cc .e back and talked to us about Siloam and Capernaum and Jerusa* ? -..4. a- ? 1.1.-. m: _i i. lern. pointing uut iu ua me iiuetj ttuuuu i which .Tesus preached, the beach upon which Paul was shipwrecked, the fords at which Jordan was passed, the Red Sea bank on which were tossed the carcasses of the drowned Egyptians. A man said: "I went to the Holy Land an infidel. I rame back a Christian. I could not help it." I am not shocked, as some have been, at the building of railroads in the Holy Land. I wish that all the world might go and eee Golzotha and Bethlehem. How many who could not afford muleteers now easily buy tickets from Constantinople to Joppa. Then let Christians travel! God speed the rail trains and guide the steamships this night panting across the deep in tne phosphorescent wake of the shining feet of Him who from wave cliff to wave cliff bestormed Tiberius. The Japanese come across the water and see our civilization and examine our Christianity and go back and tell the story and keep that empire rocking till Jesus shall reign "Where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run." And the firearms with which the infidel traveler brought down the Arab horseman an<4 fVio i.ipfcnla of the desert have been surrendered to the church, and we reach forth our hand, crying, "There is none like that; give it me!" So it has also been with the learning and eloquence of the world. People say, "Religion is very good for aged women, it is very good for children, but not for men." But we have in the roll of Christ's host Mozart and Handel in music; Canova and Aneelo in sculpture; Raphael and Reynolds in painting; Harvey and Boerhaave in medicine; Cowper and Scott in poetry; Grotius and Burke in statesmanship; Boyle and Leibnitz in philosophy; Thomas Chalmers and John Mason in theology. The most brilliant writings of a worldly nature are all aglow with Scriptural allusions. Through senatorial speech and through essayist's discourse Sinai thunders and Calvary sneaks and Siloam sparkles. Samuel L. Southard was mighty in the courtroom and in the senate chamber, but he reserved his strongest eloauence for that day when he stood before the literary societies at Princeton commencement and pleaded for the grandeur of our Bible. Daniel Webster won not his chief garlands while responding to Havne nor when he opened the batteries of nis eloquence on Bunker Hill, that rocking Sinai of the American Revolution, but on that day when, in the famous Girard will case, he nffnnfinn fVlO OViriofifln rpll gion and eulogized the Bible. The eloquence and the learning that have been on the other side come over to our side. Captured for God! "There is none like that; give it me!" So, also, has it been with the picture making of the world. We are very anxious on this day to have the printing press and the platform on the side of Christianity. but we overlook the engraver's knife and the painter's pencil. The antiquarian goes and looks at pictured ruins or examines the chiseled pillars of Thebes and Nineveh and Pompeii, and then comes back to tell us of the beastliness of ancient art, and it is a fact now that many of the finest specimens, merely artistically considered, 01 sculpture and painting that are to be found amid those ruins are not fit to be looked at, and they are locked up. How Paul must have felt, when, standing amid these impurities that stared on him from the walls and the pavements and the bazaars of Corinth, he preached of the pure and holy Jesus! The art of the world on the side of obscenity and crime and death. Much of the art of the world has been 1 in the possession of the vicious. What to unclean Henry VIII. was a beautiful pie- | ture of the Madonna? What to Lord Jeffreys, the unjust judge, the picture of the "Last Judgment?" What to Nero, the unwashed, a picture of the baptism in the Jordan? The art of the world on the wrong side. But that is being changed < now. The Christian artist goes over to < Pome, looks at the pictures and bringB v-_i. 4- i.:- A? IU ill."5 .-imciivau ouuuiu iuuv.w V* W..W power of these old masters. The Chris- i tian minister goes over to Venice, looks at the "Crucifixion of Christ," and comes back to the American pulpit to talk as never before of the sufferings of the Saviour. The private tourist goes to Rome i and looks at Raphael's picture of the l'Last Judgment." The tears start, and ' he goes back to his room in the hotel and ] prays God for preparation for that day when i "Shriveling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll." So, I remark, it is with business acumen and tact. When Christ was upon earth the people that followed Him for the most 1 part had no social position. There was < out one man naturally brilliant in all the 1 apostleship. Joseph, of Arimathea. the i rich man, risked nothing when he offered 1 a hole in the rock for the dead Christ. ' How many of the merchants in Asia Minor 1 befriended Jesus? I think of only one? Lydia. How many of the ca&tles on the i beach at Galilee entertained Christ? Not one. When Peter came to Joppa he " stopped with one Simon, a tanner. What power had Christ's name on the Roman exchange or in the bazaars of Corinth? None. The prominent men of the day did i not want to risk their reputation for sanitv hv nrpfpriHinn? tn hp nnp nf Mia fnllnw ers. Now that is all changed. Among the mightiest men in our great cities today are the Christian merchants and the Christian bankers, and if to-morrow, at the Board of Trade, any man should get up and malign the name of Jesus, he would be quickly silenced or put out. In the front rank of all our Christian workers to-day are the Christian merchants, and the enterprises of the world are coming on the right side. There was a farm willed away some years ago, all the proceeds of that farm to go for spreading infidel books. Somehow matters nave changed, and now all the proceeds of that farm go toward the missionary cause. One j of the finest printing presses ever built ( was built for the express purpose of publishing infidel- tracts and books. Now it does nothing but print holy Bibles. I believe that tne time will come when in commercial circles the voice of Christ 1 will be the mightiest of all voices and the ships of Tarshish will bring presents and the queen of Sheba her glory and the wise men of the East their myrrh and frankincense. j I look off upon the business men of this land and rejoice at the prospect, that their tact and ingenuity and ta ent are being brought into the service of Christ. It is one of the mightiest of weapons. "There is none like that: give it me!" Now. if what I have suid be true, away with all downheartedness! If science is to be on the ri^ht side and the traveling disposition of tne world on the right side and the learning of the world on the right side and the picture making on the right side and the business acumen and tact of the world on *.he right side, Thine, 0 Lord, .k? i.: ,i? i m. f?n i;?o ?n tuc i\i!i?Uism . v/ii, ???w iiuc, cm jvj peojile! 'it is a grand thing to be in such an army and led by such a commander and on the v,rav to such a victory. If what I have said is true, then Christ is poi:'.g to gather up for Himself out of this world everything that i? worth anything, and tnere will be nothing but the scum left. We have been rebels, but a proclamation of amnesty goes forth now from the throne of God, saying. "Whosoever will, let him come." However long you may have wandered, however great your crimes may have been, "whosoever will, let him come." Oh, that this hour I could marshal all the world on the side of Christ! He is the best friend a man ever had. He is so kind, He so loving, r.o sympathetic. I cannot see how you can stay away from Him. Come now and accept His mercy. Behold Him as He stretches out the arms of His salvation. saying, "Look unto Me. all ye ends of tlie earth, and be ye saved, for I am Cod." Make final choice now. You will either be willows planted by the water courses or the chaff which the wind drivcth away. i " ''K THE GREAT DESTROYER SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE. Greatest [Robber on Earth?The Liquoi Traffic Arraigned and Found to Be Greatest Foe to Mankind ? Filches a Billion Dollars a Tear From Americans. The greatest robber on earth is that which deprives us of the most precious possession that a man or woman can nave. And what is that? Is it a wellfilled pocketbook, or a good bank account? No, for some of the poorest, mo6t miserable souls on earth have fat pocketbooks and healthy bank accounts. Is it a luxurious home with all the modern adornments? No, for a gilded cage cannot make a haoov bird, and in the most sumptuous home may dwell the most wretched of slaves?the slaves of vice and passion. Is it fame, reputation, power, glory? No, for the next wind of popular favor may dash these baubles to the around ana leave us reciting the lament which Shakes?eare puts into the mouth of Cardinal Polsey. The most precious possession which any man can have is his own true, independent, self-respecting manhood, and the greatest robber on earth is that which robs a man of that. The most precious possession which any woman can nave is her own true, tender, virtuous womanhood, and the greatest specific evil on earth is that which deprives women of that. Monopolies are an evil which American people must grapple with, but even if all that the most eloquent "calamity howler" in the world has said be true, what is it that the monopolies rob us of? Money, goods, chattels, but not manhood. All the monopolies of all time can't rob one man of his manhood or one woman of her womanhood. Wall street can't do it. "A man's a man for a' that." They may rob him of his home, rob him of his fairweather friends, robs him of money and turn him out a beggar and a tramp, but still "a man's a man for a' that," and if he stands by his own manhood it will stand by him. There is, however, a robber that takes not only men's homes, their farms, their bank accounts, their reputation and their friends, but their manhood as well; which robs women not only of all the beauties and comforts of life, but of their womanhood as well, and which robs innocent little children of their childhood before they are out of their swaddling clothes. Who is that robber? There is hardly any reason to name him. Describe him, and the civilized world recognizes him at once as the liquor traffic?the greatest robber on earth. There isn't a woe that all the other robbers can inflict that this chiefest of robbers is not inflicting to-day upon unnumbered thousands, and, in addition, he is inflicting far worse woes than any of the other robbers can inflict. He not only robs the people of this land of over one billion dollars a year?equal to $77 for every family?but there are two and a half millions of men and women in this land who have been robbed of their manhood and womanhood, robbed of their liberty, robbed of their self-respect, robbed of much of their ability as producers, and who are in a slavery worse than African slavery ever was, and the greatest robber on earth is responsible for it.?The Rev. John F. Hill, D. D., in Presbyterian Banner. Novel Drunkards' Legislation. An Habitual Drunkard's bill introduced in Parliament recently by the Bishop of Winchester proposes novel methods of protecting the "wife and children of the habitual drunkard by punishing saloonkeepers who sell drinks to the habitual drunkard. The bill proposes the establishment of a black-list of persons declared to be habitual drunkards, whose names are to be notified to the keepers of licensed houses within a specified area, with a direction not to serve them, and also makes the offence of being drunk when in charge of a child punishable by a special penalty. The status of an habitual drunkard is ac- | quired by a man being within twelve months three times convicted of certain offences found by the court to be due to or helped along by drink. In such cases a man is to be declared an habitual drunk ard. The order so declaring him is then I to be sent to all license-holders within a j certain area, and also to the chief police officer for the district. Serving such a drunkard with intoxicating drink renders the license-holder liable to a fine of $50 for the first offence and to a fine of $100 for subsequent offences, the drunkard also I being liable to a fine of not more than $5. An alternative penalty is that instead of fining the saloon-keeper $100, his license be suspended for three months. The license of any saloon-keeper so convicted is to be indorsed accordingly. From the favorable consideration which this proposed bill has received, it is considered reasonably certain that some of its features will become law. Sad Indeed. A pathetic stoi7 from real life is related by an esteemed friend, who recently visited a distant city and looked up the home of two former schoolmates whom he had not seen for thirty-five years; they were brothers, and he found the older one at home with the gray-haired, widowed mother. The first glance into this home, the inmates of which he remembered with joy and gladness, convinced him that the demon of strong drink had wrought havoc within its walk. They talked over bygone days, which Beemed to caused the sadhearted motner to consider them the happiest of her life; her son was under the influence of liquor, and this being apparent caused the poor mother to be uneasy in the presence of the visitor; just as he was leaving the younger son came in, reeling drunk. Victims of the traffic we license, that is all. Thousands upon thousands of just such homes are all over our land, and our licensed liquor business is producing them, in increased numbers every year.? The Index. The Drunkard's Friends. Who makes the drunkard? His enemies? No. The drunkard is made by his friends. When it is known that he is inclined to drink no enemy is so vicious as to lead him on. No enemy slaps him on the back and begs him to take "just another drink." No enemy laughs down his poor, feeble attempts at reform. No enemy tells him that it will not hurt him "just this time," and that he really must not refuse to be a good fellow "just for once." ' The drunkard is made a drunkard, is pushed into the last depths of drunkenness, by his friends. And it is his friends who kick him and i leave him and despise him when he has sunk into the mire. Did ever the drunkard's enemy hurt him as much as the friend has hurt him??New York Journal. The Crusade In Uriel". The young developing individual is always advised to abstain from alcohol.
