Ke\. T. D<* Witt Talma^j Uowclls 011 the
Leprosy of Sin.
Brooklyn*. Nov. IS.?Rev. Dr. Tal
mage lias chose as the subject ot today s
sermon through the press "The Sick; j
General," the text selected being-II j
Kings v. 1, "He was a leper." j
Here we have a warrior sick, not1
with pleurisies or rheumatisms or consumptions.
but with a disease worse
than all these put together. A red
mark has come out on the forehead,
precursor of complete disfigurement
and dissolution. I have something
awful to tell you. General Naaman,
the commander in chief of all the
Syrian forces, has the leprosy! It is
on his hands, on his face, on his feet,
on his entire person. The leprosy!
Get out of the way of the pestilence!
If his breath strike you, you are a dead
man. The commander in chief of all
the forces of Syria! And yet he would
be glad to exchange conditions with the
boy at his strirrup or the hostler that
blankets his charger. The news goes
like wildfire all through the realm, and
the people are sympathetic, and they
Cry out, 4'Is it possible that our great
hero, who slew Ahab and around
whom we came with such vociferation
when he returned from victorious battle?can
it be possible that our grand
and glorious Naamen has the leprosy?"
Yes. Everybody has something he
wishes he had not?David, an Absalom
to disgrace him: Paul, a thorn to sting
him: Job, carbuncles to plague him;
Samson a Delilah to shear him; Ahab,
a Xaboth to deny him; Haman, a
Mordecai to irritate him; George
Washington, childlessness to afflict
him; John Wesley, a termagant wife
to pester him; Leah, weak eyes; Pope,
a crooked back; Byron, a club foot:
John Milton, blind eyes; Charles
Lamb, an insane sisters, and you something
which you never bargained for
and would like to get rid of. The reason
of this is that God does not want
this world to be too bright. Otherwise
we would always want to stay and eat
these fruits and lie on these lounges
and shake hands in this pleasant socie
ty.
We are only in the vestibule of a
grand temple. God does not want us
to stay on the doorstep, and therefore
he sends aches and annoyances and
bereavements of all sorts "to push us
op and push us up toward riper fruits
^nd^righter society and more radiant
Prosperities. God is only whipping
U^Jfcead. The reason that Edward
Payson and Robert Hall had more
rapturous views of heaven than other
people had was because, through their
aches ana God pushed them nearer up
to it. If Got! d^shetout one,of your
pictures, it is c&ly to show to you a
brighter one. If he sting your foot
' with gout, your brain with neuralgia,
your tounge with an inextinguishable
thirst, it is only because he is preparing
to substitute a better body than
you ever dreamed of when the mortal
shall put 011 immortality.
It is to push you on and to push you
up toward something grander and letter
that God sends upon you. as he did
upon General Xaanian something you
do not want. Seated in his Syrian
mansion, all the walls glittering with
the shields whicli lie had captured in
battle, the corridors crowded with
admiring visitors who just wanted to
see him once, music and mirth and
banqueting filling all the mansion
from tessellated floor to pictured ceiling,
Xaaman would have forgotten
that there was anything better and
would have been glad to stay there
10,000 years. But. oh. how the shields
dim, and how the visitors fly the hall,
and how the" music drops dead from
the string, and how the gates of the
mansion slam shut with sepulchral
bang, as you read the closing words
of .the eulogium: "He was a leper!
TT iv

There was one person more sympathetic
with Genrai Naaman than any
other person. Naaman *s wife walks
? the floor wringing her liands and trying
to think what she" can do to alleviate
her husband's suffering. All
remedies have failed. The surgeon
general and the doctors of the royal
staff have met, and they have shaken
their heads, as much as to say, "No
cure, no cure!" I think that the office
seekers had all folded up their recommendations
and gone home. Probably
most of the employees of the establishment
had dropped their work and
were thinking of looking for some
other situation. "What shall now become
of poor Naaman's wife? She
must have sympathy somewhere. In
her despair she goes to a little Hebrew
captive, a servant girl in her house,
to whom she tells the whole story, as
sometimes, when overborne by the sorrows
of the world and finding no sympathy
anywhere else, you have gone
out and found in the sympathy of
some humble domestic?Rose or Dinah
or Bridget?a help which the world
could not give you.
What a scene it was! One of the
grandest women in all Syria in cabi?

the declining health of the mighty
general. "I know something," says
the little captive maid, "I know something,''
as she bounds to her bare feet.
"In the land from which I was stolen
there is a certain prophet known by
the name of Elisha, who can cure almost
anything, and I shouldn't wonder
if he could cure my master. Send
for him right away." "Oh, hushl''
you say. "If the highest medical talent
in all the land cannot cure that
leper, there is no need of your listening
to any. talk of a servant girl."
But do not scoff, do not sneer. The
finger of that little captive maid is
pointing in the right direction. She
might have said: "This is a judgment
^ upon you for stealing me from my
native land. Didn't thev snatch me
off in the night, breaking my father's
and mother's hearts, and many a time
I have lain and cried all night because
I was so homesick. Then Hushed up
in childish indignation, she might
have said: "Good for them. I'm glad
Naaman's got the leprosy. I wish all
the Syrians had the leprosy !*' No.
Forgetting her personal sorrows, she
sympathizes with the suffering of her
master and commends him to the famous
Hebrew prophet.
And how often it is that the finger
? of childhood has pointed grown persons
in the right direction! O Christain
soul, how long is it since you got
rid of the leprosy of sinr You say:
"Let me see. It must be live years.
Who was it that pointed you to the
divine physician? "Oh." you say, "it
was my little Amie or Fred or Char
Icy that clambered up on my knees
and looked into my face and asked
me why I didn't become a Christain.
and all the time stroking my cheek,so
I couldn't get angry, insisted upon
knowing why 1 didn't have family
prayers." There are grandparents
who have been brought to Christ by
tkeir little grandchildren. There are
hundreds of Christain mothers who
had their attention first called to Jesus
by their little children. How did
you get rid of the leprosy of sin? How
did you find your way to the divine
physician? '"Oh." you say, '"my child,
my darling child, with wan and wasted*
finger, pointed that way. Oh, I
never shall forget," you say, "that
scene at the cradle and the^ crib that
awful night! It was hard. hard, very
hard, but if .that little one 011 its dying
bed had,not pointed me to Cdrist I
don't think 1 ever would have got rid
of my leprosy." Go into, the Sabbath
school anv Sundav. and von will find
nunureus 01 nine nngers pumuug m
the same direction, towards Jesus
Christ and towards heaven.
Years ago the astronomers calculated
that there must be a world hanging
at a certain point in th& heavens,
and a large prize was offered for some
one who could discover that world.
The telescopes from the greatest observations
wefe pointed in vain, but a
girl at Nantucket, %jass.. fashioned a
telescope, and Ipokirlr through it discovered
that star and twon the prize,
and the admiration omll the astronomical
world that stood amazed at her
genius. And so it is often the case
that grown people cannot see the
light, while some little child beholds
the star of pardon, the star of hope,
the star of consolation, the star of
j Bethlehem, the morning star of Jesus.
| "Not many mighty men, not man.y
j wise men, are called, but God hath
chosen the weak things of this world
to confound the mighty, and base
things and tilings that are not to bring
to naught things that are." Oh, do
j not despise the prattle of little child-.
1 ren when they are speaking about
I God and Christ and heaven. You see
the way your child is pointing. Will
you take that pointing or wait until
in the wrench of some awful bereavement,
God shall lift that child to
another world, and then it will beckon
you upward ? Will you take the
pointing, or will you wait for the
beckoning:1 Blessed be God that the
little Hebrew captive pointed in the

No wonder the advice of this little
Hebrew captive threw all Naaman's
mansion in Ben-hadad's palace into
excitement. Goodby, Naarnan! With
face scarified and ridged and inflamed
by the pestilence and aided' by those
who supported him on either side, i \
staggered out to . the* chariot. Hour '
fast the fiery coursers of the royal
stable while the poor sick man lifts
f his swoolen feet and pain struck limbs
j into the vehicle. Bolster him up with
i the pillows and let him take a linger|
ing look at his bright apartments, for
[ perhaps the Hebrew captive may be
| mistaken, and the next time Naaman
j comes to that place he may be dead
| weight on the shoulders of those who
! carry him, an expired chieftain seek!
ing sepulture amid the lamentations
! of an admiring nation. Goodby, Naaman
! Let the charioteer drive gently
1 over the hills of Hermon, lest he jolt
the invalid. Here goes the bravest
man of all his day, a captive of a horrible
disease. As the ambulance winds
| through the streets of Damascus the
teai*s and prayers of all the people go
af; ir the world renowned invalid.
Verliaps you have had an iirradid
go out from your house on a health
excursion. You know how the neigh
bors stood around and said, "Ah. he
will never come back again alive!"
Oh, it was a solem moment, I tell yon.
when the individual had departed, and
you went into the room to make the
bed, and to remove the medicine vials
from the shelf, and to throw open the
shutters, so that the fresh air might
rush into the long closed room. Goodby.
Naaman! There is only one cheerful
face looking at him. and that is
the face of the little Hebrew captive,
who is sure he will get cured, and who
is so glad she helped him. As the
chariot winds out, and the escort of
mounted cources, and the mules, laden
with sacks of gold and embroidered
suits of apparel, went through the
gates of Damascus and out on the long
way, the hills of Naphtali and Ephraim
look down on the procession, and
the retinue goes right past the battlefields
were Naaman, in the days of his
health, used to rally his troops for
fearful onset, and then reclines awhile
in the groves of olive and oleander,
and General Naaman so sick, so very,
very sick!
How the countrymen gaped as the
procession passed! They had seen
Naaman go past like a whirlwind in
days gone by and had stood aghast at
the clank of his war equipments, but
now they commiserate him. They
say: "Poor mai^! He will never get
home alive. Poor man!"

restless sleep in the chariot, and he
says to the charioteer, ''How long before
we shall reach the Prophet Elisha"
The charioteer says to a-waysider.
* 'How far is it to Elisha's house ?"
He says. "Twomiles." "Two miles?"
Then they whip up the lathered and
fagged out horses. The whole procession
brightens up at the prospect
of speedy arrival. They drive up to
the door of the prophet. The charioteers
shout''Whoa!"tothe horses, and
I tramping hoofs and grinding wheels
I cease shaking the earth. Come out.
I Elisha. come out. You have company.
The grandest company that ever came
to your house has come to it now. No
stir inside Elisha's house. The fact
was the Lord had informed Elishathat
the stick captain was coming: and just
how to treat him. Indeed when you
are sick and the Lord wants you to get
well he always tails the doctor how to
treat you, and the reason we have so
many bungling doctors is because they
depend upon their own strength and
instructions and not on the Lord God,
and that always makes malpractice.
Come out.Elisha. and attend to your
business.
General Naaman and his retinue
waited and waited. The fact was
Naaman had two diseases?pride and
leprosy. The one was-as hard to get
rid of as the other. Elisha sits quietly ,
in his house and does not go out. :
After awhile, when he thinks lie has i
humbled this proud man, he says to a '
servant, "Go out and tell General j
Naaman to bath seven time in'the .
river Jordan out yonder live .miles. ;
and he will get entirely well.'' The 1
messeage comes out. "What!" says 1
the commander in chief of the Syrian i
forces, his eye kindling with an animation
which it had not shown for
weeks and his swollen foot stamping i
on the bottom of the chariot, regard- i
less of pain. "What!" Isn't he coming *
out to see me? Why. I thought certain- t
It he would come and utter some cab- t
alistic words over me or make some 1
enigmatical passes over my wounds. (
Why. I don't think he knows who i '
am. Ins't he coming out. Why, (
when the Shunamite woman came to (
him. he rushed out and cried: 'Is it i
well with thee? It is well with thy 1
husband? Is it well with thy child? j
And will lie treat a poor unknown wo- J
man like that and let me, a titled per- 1
sonage.sit here in my chariot and wait 1
and wait? I won't endure it any longer <
Charioteer, drive on! Wash in the <
??????????*
Jordan! Ha! ha! The slimy Jordan,
the muddy Jordan, the montonous
Jordan! I wouldn't be seen washing
in such a river as that. Why, we watered
our horses in a better river than
that on our way here?the beautiful
river, the jasper paved river of Pharpar.
Besides that we have in our
country another Damascene river,
Abana. with foliaged bank and torrent
ever swift and ever clear, under
the flickering shadows of sycamore
and oleander. Are not Abana and
Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better
than all the waters of Isreal
I suppose Naaman felt very much
as Americans would feel if, by way of
medical prescription, some one should
tell us to go and wash in the Danube
or the Rhine. We would answer,
"Are not the Connecticut and the
Hudson just as good?" Or as an ErTo-lishman
would feel if he were told
o ?
by way of medical prescription lie
must go and wash in the Mississippi
or the St Lawrence. He would cry
out. "Are not the Thames and the
Shannon just as well Thfe fact was
that haughty Naaman needed to learn
what every Englishman and every
American needs to learn?that when
God tells you to do a thing you must
go and do it, whether you understand
the reason or not. Take the prescription,
whether you like it or not. One
thing is certain- Unless haughty
Naaman does as filisha commands
him he wall die of his awful sickness.
And unless you do as Christ commands
you you will be seized upon by
an everlasting wasting away. Obey
and live: disobey and die. Thrilling,
overarching, undergirding, stupendous
alternative.
Well, General Naaman could not'
stand the test. The charioteer gives a
jerk to the right line until the bit
snaps, in the horse's mouth, and the
^d^-of the wheels and the . Hying of
theuust show the indignation of the
great-, commander. "He turned and
went Ji way in a rage.'' So people now
often get mad at religion. They vitu
J j ? 1 * i.
Derate against ministers, against
churches, against Christian people.
One would think from their irate behavior
that God had been studying
how to annoy and exasperate and demolish
them. What has he been doing.
Only trying to cure their death
dealing- leprosy. That is all. Yet
they whip up their horses, they dig
in. the spurs, and they go away in a
rage.
So, afterall, itseemsthat this health
excursion of General Naaman is to he
a dead failure. That little Hebrew
captive might as well have not told
him of the prophet, and this long
journey might as well not have been
taken- Poor, sick, dying Naaman"!
Ape.you .going away in high dudgeon
and worse than when you earned As
liis chariot halts a moment his servants
clamber up in it and coax him
to dojgt* Elisha said. They say:'"It's
easy. If the prophet had told you to
walk for a mile 011 sharp spikes in order
to get rid of this awful disease,
you would have done it. It is easy.
Come, my lord, just get down and
wash in the Jordan. You take a bath
every day anyhow, and in this climate
it is so hot that it will do you good.
Do it on our account, and for the sake
of the army you command, and for
the sake of the" nation that admires
you. Come, my lord, just try this
Jordanic bath." "Well," he says.
"to please you I will do as you sav."
The retinue drive to the brink <jf the
Jordan. The horses paw arxtJjpigh
to get into the stream) themselves to;
cool their hot flanks. General
man, assisted by his aiten&mxt* sr^ts
down oi?i ot his chariot Jtnd painfully
comes to the brink of the river and
steps in until the water conies to the
ankle and goes on deeper until the
water comes to the girdle, and now,
standing so far down in the stream
just a little inclination of the head
will thoroughly immerse him. He
bows once into the flood and comes
up and shakes the water out of nostril
and eye, and his attendants look
at him and-say, "Why, general, how
much better you look:" And he bows
a second time into the flood and comes
up, and the wild shire is gdne out of
his eye. He bows the third time into
the flood and comes up, and the shriveled
flesh has got smooth again. He
bows the fourth time into the flood and
comes up, and the hair that had fallen
out is restored in thick locks again
all over the brow. He bows the fifth
time into the flood and comes up, and
the hoarseness has gone out of his
throat. He bows the sixth time and
1 ll XV. ,1
comes up, ana an me soreness auu
anguish nave gone out of the limbs.
"Why," he says, "I am almost well,
but I will make a complete cure," and
he bows the seventh time into the
flood, and he comes up, and not so
much as a fester, or a scale, or an
eruption as big- as the head of a pin
is to be seen on him.
He steps out on the banks and says,
"Is it possible?" And the attendants
look and say, "Is it possible?" And
as, with the health of an athlete, he
lxmnds back into the chariot and
drives 011 there goes up from all his
attendants a wild ''Huzza! Huzza!"
Of course they go back to pay and
thank the man of God for his counsel
so fraught with wisdom. "When they
left the prophet's house, they went
off mad. They have come back glad.
People always think better of a minister
after they are converted than
they do before conversion. Now we
are to them an intolerable nuisance
because we tell them to do things that
* ' . r
?0 against tiie gram, out some 01 us
have a great many letters from those
who tell us that once they were angry
at what we preached, hut afterward
gladly received the gospel at ou r hands.
They once called us fanatics or terrorists
or enemies. Now they call us
friends. Yonder is a man who said
he would never come into the church
again. He said that two years ago.
He said, ''My family shall never come
here again if such doctrines as that
are preached." But he came again,
and his family came again. He is a
Christian, his wife a Christian, all his
children Christians, the whole household
Christians, and you shall dwell
with them in the house of the Lord
forever. Our undying coadjutors are
those who once heard the gospel and
"went away in a rage."
Now, my hearers, you know that,
this General Naaman did two things
in order to get well. The first was, lie
got out of hischariot. He might have
staid there, with his swollen feet on
the stuffed ottoman, seated on that embroidered
cushion, until his last gasp,
he would never have got any relief.
He had to get down out of his chariot,
ind you have got to get down out of
the chariot of your pride if you ever
become a Christian. You cannot drive

went up and down in the dance, and
all the streets of Damascus that night
echoed and re-echoed with the news:

How the Democrats Xost It.
Washington, Nov. W ?Frederick
C. Waite, formerly a customs official,
ficrnvo/i Vuif foi* thp> National Sta
tistical association that over 5,000,000
voters remained awav from the polls
this fall and changed jjjte political
complexion of the country. Mr.
Waite's analysis of the election returns
of New York; iii 1692, town by
town, shows that Bepnbhcan farmers
then allowed ihe-el&ction % go by default.
This year the republicans
have not Oast as larye a per cent of
tlie^ull vote in a" angle $ate as in
188$. Hence, JjWjf only reasonable
conclusion, say^war. W aite, is that,
like "the discontented Republicans in
1892, ^hftsdiscont^ted this .
year-coined tlie stay at home voters.'
This stay at home vote has increased
in New York from 75.000 in 1888, to
185,000. in 1S92. and to 425,000 this
vcar. In Pennsylvania it was 70,000
in 1SS8, 230,000 i'n 1892, and 400,000
this year. It has increased in Ohio
from 40,000 in 1S88 to 115,000 in 1892
and 290,000 this year. In Michigan
there were 240,000 stay at homes this
year, 20,000 in 1888 and 105,000 in
J 892. South Carolina, when she had
50.000 less voters than at present, cast
183,621 votes for Hayes and Tilden,
while this year her total vote is not :
much over 60,000, or about one fourth
of her full vote. Wisconsin has not
polled for tlie Democratic candidates '
so small a vote for 25 years, nor has
the Democratic party in Pensylvania
received so few votes in half a centu- !
ry. Census and registration statistics
show this year the stay at home voters
numbered about 5,100,000. Add 1,500,- :

To Blow Up Troops.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 22.?A striking ?
! and important piece of evidence was
presented to the Col. Coit court of in-.
quiry today. It was a basket containing
forty sticks of dynamite that was
found concealed near the court house
the morning after the rioting at Wash- :
ington Court House. The find was
kept a secret until today. It confirms
the report that the rioters after the ;
shooting, planned to blow up the court

the building, he ordered them to halt ;
all persons attempting to approach the i
court house that night and to fire upon
any who refused to stop. Several shots ;
were fired at persistent skulkers and
then all the rioters disappeared. It i
now seems probable that this precaution
prevented the angry mob from
destroying the troops.
The Spartanburg Herald says the j
"Bankers take silver and greenbacks
to the government, demand gold, and j
the government comes to the banker '
and gives a five per cent, bond in order
to get the gold back to keep the '
gold reserve up to a certain point. ;
The banker having given his gold for
the bonds, the govenmentliastne gold j
again and the banker the bonds. Then
the banker takes more silver and !

The government pays it until the gold ]

we have, to be sure!''

Birmingham. Ala,, Nov. 10.?Reuben
F. Kolb issued a lengthy manifesto
today. In it he claims to nave been
twice elected Governor of Alabama?
in 1S92 and this year?reviews the action
of a conference of his friends and
subsequently that of a convention pro1
?ur nrfoniff tln-v ol
lvoliii- a^(Ui[.^L 11 iu ?uirj;r u. iluUU> U>
which lie was counted out: refers to
the recent action of the speaker of the
Alabama House >f Representatives in
refusing to admit as in order a ]>etition
from 44 Representatives asking
that the Legislature not count the
votes in certain counties in which, it
was claimed there had been frauds,
and concludes as follows:
"The ollicial count as declared by
the speaker, gives Gates a majority
of 27,582. Election frauds committed
in the counties named in the protest
of Senator Goodwyn, of which we
have positive and sworn evidence,
would be more than suflicient to wipe
out all the majority claimed for Oates.
"The foregoing considered in view
of existing conditions in Alabama, I
h.;ve determined to discharge my full
duty to the people of Alabama. I will
not fail to respect the pledges which I
made* to the people who have given
me their confidence and stood by me
so heroically and devotedly during
the past four years.
You follow citizens have twice elected
me governor of this State and this
time, by the grace of God. and the
help of the good people of Alabama. I
will lie Governor. December 1 is the
d:iv fivod hv- l:iw fm* tlio inmiflrnvation
of Governor. On that day I shall be
in Montgomery for the purpose of taking
the oath of office and my seat as
Governor. And I hereby call upon
the good people in every party of the
State to aid me in all their power in
the proper and peaceable upholding of
the law and to set aside powers of the
traitors and usurpers in Alabama. I
appeal to my friends and supporters
from all parts of the State to ik4 in
Montgomery on the first day of December,
1804, there and then to give me
their aid and support in a lawful and
peaceable manner to vindiete their
liberties. I counsel againstan unlawful
demonstration, but ask the presence
and co-operation of free men in a
necessary effort to enforece the law
and carry out the will of the people/'
what gov. jones says.
Montgomery, Nov. 10.?As Governor
Jones was about to take the train
for Mobile, to take part in the ceremonies
attending the reception of the
cruiser Montgomery, he was shown
the dispatch about theKolb manifesto,
wherein Kolb says that by the grace
of God he will take his seat on December
1st, and he quietly remarked:
''William C. Oates has been elected
Governor by the fairly expressed will
of a majority of the people of Alabama
and has been .so declared by the General
Assembly of Alabama, the only
tribunal which has the right or authority.under
the Constitution to declare
this result. It is my duty to see that
he is fully installed, and by the grace
of God lie will be. I do not anticipate
that any number of men will be foolish
enough to heed Kolb's advice, but if
they do, the consequences will Iks on
their own heads" *
Hud to Clo.ne.
Detroit, Nov. 21.?The epidemic of
diphtheria has become so widespread
and severe that the school
board last night was compelled to order
the closing of two large public and
two smaller parochial school buildings.
The spread of the disease has been
rapid among the school children, the
average number of new cases daily
being twenty.
The Augusta Chronicle says there
is reason to believe that the lesson of
the late election will be a most wholesome
one for the Democratic party,
and that the remainder of the session,
before the majority in Congress passes
from Democratic hands, should go
far towards putting the people in better
humor with the party. Then if
the Republicans make any slips and
failures in the next session, as they
are most likely to do. the Democrats
will enter the race in 189G with a line
showing for success.
