CONGRESS SALUTED.
REV. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES A SERMON
UPON* A TIMELY THEME.
He Shows How We Have Been Blessed by
God In tho Past?Earthly Comfort and
the Best That Shall Come to Those That
Believe.
Washington, Dec. 1.?As tomorrow
the CGKgressof the United States assembles
and many of the members were
present at the delivery of this sermon,
Dr. Talmago took a most appropriate
w theme, showing that in all their work
they might realize that God has always
been on the side of this nation. Text, II
Kings vi, IT, "And tho Lord opened
the eyes of the young man, and he saw,
and, behold, the mountain was full of
horses and chariots and chariots of fire
round about Elisha."
The American congress is assembling.
Arrivimr cr already arrived are the rep
cesentatives of all sections of this beloved
land. Let ns welcome them with
prayers and benedictions. A nobler
group of men never entered Washington
than those who will tomorrow take
their places in the senate chamber and
the house of representatives. Whether
they come alone or leave their families
at the homestead far away, may the
blessing of the Eternal God be upon
them ! We invite them to our churches,
and together they in political spheres
and we in religious circles will give the
coming months to co ^deration of the
be3t interests of this country which God
has blessed so much in the past that I
propose to show you and show them, so
far as I may now reach their ear or tomorrow
their eyo through the printing
press, that God will be with them to
help them as in the text he filled the
mountains with help for Elisha.
The Upper Forces.
As it cost England many regiments
and $2,000,000 a year to keep safely a

king of Syria sends out a whole army to
capture one minister of religion?perhaps
50,000 men to take Elisba. Dur- j
ing the night the army of Syrians came I
around the village of Dotlian, where the
prophet was staying. At early daybreak
the manservant of Elisha rushed in and
said: "What shall we do? There is a
whole army come to destroy you! We
must die! Wo must die!" But Elisha
was net scared a bit, for he looked up
and saw the mountains all around full
of supernatural forces, and he knew
that if there were 50,000 Syrians against
him there were 100,000 angels for him,
and in answer to the prophet's prayer in
behalf of his affrighted manservant the
young man saw it too. Horses of fire
harnessed to chariots of fire, and drivers
of fire pulling reins of fire on bits of
fire, and warriors of fire with brandished
swords of fire, and the brilliance of
that morning sunrise was eclipsed by
the galloping splendors of the celestial
cavalcade. "And the Lord opened the
eyes of the young man, and he saw, and
behold the mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
I speak of the upper forces of the text
that are to fight on cur side as a nation.
If all the low levels are filled with arm!ed
threats, I have to tell you that the
mountains cf our hope and courage and
faith are full of the horses and chariots
of divino rescue.
Yen will notico that the divine equipage
is always represented as a chariot !
of fire. Ezckiel anu Isaiah and John, ;
when they come to describe the divine 1
equipage, always represent it as a j
wheeled, a harnessed, an upholstered
^ conflagration. It is not a chariot like j
K kings and conquerors cf earth mount, j
but an organized and compressed fire.
That means purity, justice, chastisement,
deliverance through burning escapes.
Chariot of rescue? Yes, but'a
chariot of fire. All our national disiifthraliments
have been through scorching
agonies and red disasters. Through trib
ulatiou the individual rises. Through !
tribulation nations rise. Chariots cf :
rescue, bur chariots cf lire. But liow do
I know that this divino equipage is on ,
the side of our institutions? I know it
by tho history of the last 110 years.
The American Revolution started from
the pen of John Hancock in Independence
hall in 1770. The colonies, without
ships, without ammunition, without
guns, without trained warriors, without
money, without prestige. On the ether
side, the mightiest nation of tho earth,
the largest armies, the grandest navies
and the most distinguished commanders,
and resources inexbaustble, and nearly
ail nations ready to back them up in the
Cght. Nothing, as against immensity.
A liivice Iutcrp?>sitioa.
The cause cf the American colonics,
which started at zero,dropped still lower
through the quarreling cf the generals,
and through the jealousies at small successes,
and through tho winters which
surpassed all predecessors in depth of
snow and horrors of congeahnent. Elisha
surrounded by the whole Syrian army
did not seem to bo worse off than did
the thirteen colonies encompassed aud
overshadowed by foreign assault. What
decided the contest in cur favor: The
upper forces, the upper armies. The
Green and White mountains of New
England, the Highlands along the Hudson,
rhe mountains of Virginia, all the
Appalachian ranges were full cf re-enforcements
which the young man Washington
saw by faith, and his men endured
the frozen feet, and the gangrened
wounds, and the exhausting hunger, and
the long march because "the Lord
I opened the eyes of the young man, and
he saw, and, behold, the mountain was
- ? ~l_ -r ^ a

about Elisha." Washington himself was
a'miracle. What Joshua was in sacred
history the first American president was
in secular history. A t. ousand ether
men excelled him in different things,
but he excelled them all in roundness
and completeness of character. The
world never saw his like, and probably
never will see his like again, because
there probably never will be another
such exigency. He was let down a divine :
interposition. He was from God direct. j

I do not know how many can read the
history of thoso times without admitting
tho contest was decidod by tho upper
forces. Then in 1801, when our civil
war opened, many at tho north and at
the south pronounced it national snicido.
It was not courage against cowardice,
it was not wealth against poverty, i'
was not large states against small states.
It was heroism against heroism, it wrs
the resources of many generations
against tho resources of generations, it
was the prayer cf tho north against
the prayer of the south, it was one-half
of the nation in armed wrath meeting
the other half of tho nation in armed
indignation. What could ccme but extermination?
At tho opening of the war the commander
in chief of the United States
forces was a man who had been great in
battle, but old ago had come, with
many infirmities, and he had a right to
quietude. Ho could not mount a horse,
and ho rode cn the battlefield m a carriage,
asking the driver not to jolt it
too much. During the most of tho four
years of the contest,on tho southern side,
was a man in midlife, who had in his
veins the blood of many generations of
warriors, himself one of the heroes of
Churubusco and Cerro Gordo, Contreras
and Chapultepec. As the years passed
on and tbe scroll of carnage unrolled
there came out from both sides a heroism,
and a strength, and" a determination
that the world had never seen marshaled.
And what but extermination
could come when Philip Sheridau and
Stonewall Jackson met, and Nathaniel
Lyon and Sidney Johnston rodo in from
north and south, and Grant and Lee,
tho two thunderbolts of battle, clashed?
Yet, we are a nation, and yet wo are at
peace. Earthly courage did not decide
the conflict. Tho upper forces of the
text?they tell us there was a battle
fought abovo the clouds on Lookout
mountain, but there was something
higher than that.
A Friend of the Nation.
Again, the horses and chariots of God
came to the rescue of this nation in
1876, at the close of a presidential election
famous for ferocity. A darker cloud
j yet settled down upon this nation. Tho
J result of the election was in dispute, and
| revoiuncn, not Detween iwu ui. uuvo
j sections, but revolution in every town
and village and city of the United States
seemed imminent. Tho prospect was
i that New York would throttle New
York, and Now Orleans would grip New
Orleans, and Boston, Boston, and Savanuah,
Savannah, and Washington,
Washington. Some said Mr. Tilden was
elected, others said Mr. Hayes was
! elected, and how near we came to universal
massacre some of us guessed, but
j God only knew. I ascribe our escapo
j not to the honesty and righteousness cf
infuriated politicians, but I ascribe it
| to the upper forces of the test. Chariots
of mercy rolled in, and thongh the
wheels were not heard and the flash was
I not seen, yet all through the mountains
of the north, and the south, and the
j east, and the west, though the hoofs did
[ not clatter, the cavalry of God galloped
by. I tell you God is tho friend of this
nation. In the awful excitement at the
massacre of Lincoln, when there was a
prospect that greater slaughter would
open npon this nation, God hushed tho
tempest. In the awful excitement at
the time of Garfield's assassination God
put his foot on tho neck of the cyclone.
To prove God is on the side cf this nation
I argue from the last eight or nine
great national harvests, and from the
i national health of tho last quarter cf a
- century, epidemics very exceptional,
and from tho great revivals of rel'gion,
and from the spreading of the church of
God, and from tho continent blossoming
with asylums and reformatory institutions,
and from an Indenization which
promises that this whole land is to bo a
paradise, where God shall walk.
I am encouraged more than I can tell
you as I see tho regiments wheeling
down the sky, and my jeremiads turn
into doxologies, and that which was the
Good Friday of the nation's crucifixion

{ion. Of course God works through human
instrumentalities, and this national
betterment is to come among oilier
things through a scrutinized ballot box.
By the law of registration it is almost
impossible now to have illegal voting.
Thero was a time?you and I remember
it very well?when droves of vagabonds
wandered up and down on election day,
and from poll to poll, and voted here,
and voted there, and voted everywhere,
and there was 110 challenge, or if thero
were, it amounted to nothing, because
nothing could so suddenly be proved
upon llie vagabonds. Now, in every well
organized neighborhood, every voter is
watched with severest scrutiny. If I am
in a region where I am allowed a vote,
I must tell the registrar my name, and
how old I am, and how long I have resided
in the state, and how long I have
resided in the ward or the township,
and if I misrepresent, oO witnesses will
rise and shut me out from the ballot box.
Is not that a great advance? And then
notice the law that prohibits a man
voting if he has bet on the election. A
step farther needs to be taken and that
man forbidden a vote who has offered cr
taken a bribe, whether it be in the shape
of a free drink, or cash paid down, the
suspicious cases obliged to put their
hand on the Bible and swear their vote
in if they vote at all. So, through the
sacred chest of our nation's suffrage, redemption
will come.
God will save this nation through an
aroused moral sentiment. There has
never been so much discussion of morals j
and immorals. Men, whether cr not I
they acknowledge what is right, have to j
think what is right. We have men wno i
have had their hands in the public treas- j
ury the most of their lifetime, stealing i
all they could lay their hands on, dis
coursing eloquently about dishonesty in ;
public servants, and men with two or j
three families of their own preaching
eloquently about the beauties of the seventh
commandment. The question of sobriety
and drunkenness is thrust in the
face of this nation as never before and
takes a part- in our political contests.
The question of national sobriety is go
Jug to be respectfully and deferentially j
heard at the bar of every legislature,
and every house of representatives, and
every state senate, and an omnipotent
voice will ring down the sky and across
this land and back again, saying to those j
rising tides of drunkenness which threat- j
en to whelm homo and church and na- !

Antigonus' Army.
1 have not in my mind a shadow of
disheartment as large as the shadow of ;
a house fly's wing. My faith is in the j
upper forces, the upper armies of the
text. God is uct dead. The chariots are
not unwheekd. If you would only pray
more and wash your eyes in the cool, i
bright water fresh from the well of
Christian reform, it would bo said of j
you, as cf this one of the text, '"The j
Lord opened the eyes cf the young man, |
I and ho saw, and, behold, the mountain J
! was full of horses and chariots of lire {
round about Elisha."
When the army of Antigonus went !
J into battle, his soldiers were very much j
I discouraged, and they rushed up to the j
I general and said to Lim, "Don't you j
I see we have a few forces and they have ;
; so many more?" And the soldiers were ;
affrighted at the siuallness of their num|
bcr and the greatness of the enemy, j

' ?by a fortunate dis^_

From consumption

Pierce.
Years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.,
recognizing the fact that consumption was
essentially a germ disease, and that a remedy
which would drive the germs and their
poisons from the blood would cure consumption,
at last found a medicine which cured 98
per cent, of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages of the disease.
The tissues of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circulating
through them, the germs find lodgment
there, and the lungs begin to break down.
Soon the general health begins to fail, and
the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy
and confused.
This is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery; it drives the germs
and poisons from the blood, and has a soothing
effect upon the dry cough. In cases of
bronchitis the "Discovery" is invaluable.
"Golden Medical Discovery" increases the
amount and quality of the blood, thus invigorating
and fortifying the system against disease
and builds up wholesome flesh and
strength after wasting diseases^ as fevers
pneumonia, grip and ether debilitating affections.
Jno. M. ITite, of Att- dmSpfiSfeSra
dubon, Audubon Co., Ia., >5
says: "I took a severe w8 ?
cold which settled on my K B
lungs and chest, and I S BK& S
suflered intensely with CT ra
it. I tried several of Vl J- \ ft
our best physicians here \i n
and they gave up all [ r
hones of my recovers. W /
and thought 1 would /
have to die. I would yfl! yiK,
cough and spit blood / IliHffcf
for hours, and I was pale \\v\ jV
and weak. I was greatly
discouraged when I be- \<oy//\
gan the use of the Dis- j M HiTB E3Q>
covery, but I soon got
better. It has been five years since I took it and
have had no return of that trouble since."
Antigonus, their commander, straightened
himself up and said, with indignation
and vehemence, "How many do you
reckon me to be?" And when we see
tho vast armies arrayed against the
cause of sobriety it may sometimes be
very discouraging, but I ask you in
. making up your estimate of the forces
of righteousness?I ask you how many
do ycu reckon the Lord God Almighty
to bo? He is onr commander. The Lord
of Hosts is his name. I have tho best
authority for saying that tho chariots of
God are 20,000, and the mountains are
full of them.

of the Christian religion to purify and

run day and night, and they turn out
half a- dozen a day, all equipped and
ready for full sailing. Largo lies and
small lies. Lies private and lies publio
and lies prurient. Lies cut bias and lies
cut diagonal. Long limbed lies and lies
with double back action. Lies complimentary
and lies defamatory. Lies that

people believe, and lies that nobody believes.
Lies with humps like camels, and
scales like crocodiles, and necks as long
as storks, and feet as swift as an antelope's,
and stings like adders. Lies raw

Crawling lies and jumping lies and
soaring lies. Lies with attachment
screws and rufilers and braiders and
ready wound bobbins. Lies by Christian
people who never lie except during elections,
and lies by people who always lie,
but beat themselves in a presidential
campaign.
A Potent Force.
I confess I am ashamed to have a foreigner
visit this country in such times.
I should think he would stand dazed,
his hand on his pocket book, and daro
not go out nights. What will the hundreds
of thousands of foreigners who
come hero to live think of us': What a
disgust they must have for the land of
their adoption. Tito only good thing
about it is many of them cannot understand
the English language. But I suppose
the German and Italian and Swedish
and French papers translate it all
and peddle cut the infernal stuff to the
subscribers.
Nothing but Christianity will ever
step such a flood of indecency. Tho
Christian religion will speak after
awhile. The billingsgate and low scandal
-*t-h>vrv nvovv rnor Ai*
every four years roust bo rebuked by I
that religion which speaks from its two
great mountains?from tho one mountain
intoning the command, "Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neighbor,"
and from the other mount making plea
for kindness and blessing rather than
cursing. Yes, we are going to have a
national religion. Thero are two kinds
of national religion. Tho one is supported
by tho state, and is a matter of human
politics, and it has great patronage,
and under it men will strngglo for
prominence without reference to qualifications,
and its archbishop is supported
by a salary of &7f),000 a year, and thero
are great cathedrals, with all the machinery
of music and canonicals, and
room for a thousand people, yet an audience
of fifty people, or twenty people,
or ten or two. WewanJ no such religion
as that, uo such national religion, but
wo want this kind of national religion
?the vast majority of the people converted
and evangelized?and then they
will manage the secular as well as the
religious.
Do you say that this is impracticable?
No. Tho timo is coming just as certainly
as there is a God, and that this is
his book, and that he has the strength
and the honesty to fulfill his promises.
One of the ancient emperors used to
pride himself on performing that which
his counselors said was impossible, and
I have to tell you today that man's impossibles
are God's easies. "Hath he
said, and shall he not do it? Hath he
commanded, and will he not bring it to
pass?" The Christian religion is coming
to take possession of every ballot box, of
every schoolhonse, of evey home, of every
valley, of every mountain, of every
aeie of our national domain. This nation,
notwithstanding all the evil influences
that are trying to destroy it, is
going to live.
Never since, according to John Milton.
when "satan was hurled headlong
flaming from the ethereal skies in hideous
ruin and combustion down," have
the powers of darkness been so determined
to win this continent as now.
What a jewel it is?a jewel carved in
relief, the cameo of this planet! On
jno side of us the Atlantic ocean, dividing
us from the wcrnout governments
of Europe. On the other side the Pacific
ocean, dividing us from the superstitions
of Asia. On the north of us th?
arctic sea, which is the gymnasium in
which the explorers and navigators develop
their courage. A continent 10,500
miles long, 17,000,000 square miles,
and all of it but about one-seventh capable
C'f rich cultivation. One hundred
millions of population on this continent
of North and fc'outh America?100,000,000,
and room for many hundred millions
more. All flora and all fauna, all
metals and all precious woods, and all
grains and all fruits. The Appalachian
rango the backbone, and the rivers the
ganglia carrying life all through and
nre-, to tljo extremities, isthmus of
Darien, the narrow waist of ;i giant coutinenr,
oil to be under one government,
and ail free, and all Christian, and the
ife
scene ot Christ's personal reign on earth
if, according to the expectant n of many
good people, ho shall at last sot r.p his
throne in this world. Who shall have
this hemisphere, Christ or satnn ? Who
shall have the shore of licr inland seas,
the silver of her Nevadas, the gold of
her Colorado?, the telescopes of her observatories,
tho brain of her universities,
tho wheat of her prairies, the rice of her
savannas, the two great ocean beaches?
tho one reaching from Bafihrs bay to
Tierra del Fnego, and tho other from
Bering strait to Capo Horn?and all
tho moral and temporal and spiritual
and everlasting interests of a population
vast beyond all human computation?
Who shall ha^o tho hemisphere? Yon
and I will decide that, or help to decide
it, by conscientious vote, by earnest
prayer, by maintenance of Christian institutions,
by support of great philanthropies,
by putting body, mind and
soul on tho right si do of all moral, religious
and national movements.
Tho Final Needs.
Ah, it will not make any difference
to yea or to mo what becomes of this
continent, so far as earthly comfort is
concerned. All wo will want of it will
bo 7 feet by 53, and that will take in
tho largest, and thoro will be room and
to sparo. That is all of this country wo
will need very soon?tho youngest of us
all. But wo have an anxiety about the
welfare and tho happiness of the generations
that arc coming on, and it will bo
a grand thing if, when the archangel's
trumpet sounds, wo find that our
sepulchre, liko tho one Joseph of Arimathea
provided for Christ, is in the
midst of a garden.
Ono of tho seven wonders of tho world
was tho white marble watch tower of
pharos of Egypt. Scstratus, iho architect
and sculptor, after building that
watch tower, cut his name cn ir. Then
ho covered it with plaster, and to please
the king he put the monarch's name on
tho outsido of tho plastering, and tho
storms beat and the seas dashed in their
fury, and they washed off tho plaster-'
inrr onrl tVirtrr tvfislxvl it. CiTlt. Jlllfl tllPV
washed it down, but the name of Sostratus
was deep cut in the imperishable
rock. So across the face of this nation
there have been a great many names
written, across our finances, across our
religions,names worthy of remembrance,
names written on the architecture of our
churches, and our schools, and our asylums,
and our homes of mercy, but God
is the architect of this continent, and he
was the sculptor of all its grandeurs,
and long after?through the wash of the
ages and the tempests of centuries?all
other names shall bo obliterated the
divine signature and divine name will
be brighter and brighter as the millenniums
go by, and the world shall see
that the God who made this continent
has redeemed it by his grace from all
its sorrows and from all its crimes.
The Mightiest Agency.
Have you faith in such a thing as
that? After all the chariots have been
unwheeled, and after all the war chargers
have been crippled, the chariots
which Elisha saw on tho morning of his
peril will roll on in triumph, followed
by all the armies of heaven on white
horses. God could do it without us, hut
he will not. The weakest of us, the
faintest cf us, the smallest brained of
us, shall have a part iu the triumph.
Wo may not have our name, like the
name of Scstratus, cut in imperishable
rock and conspicuous for centuries, bat
wo shall be remembered in a better
place than that, even in the heart of
him who came to redeem us and redeem
the woild, and our names will be seen
close to the signature of his wound, for,
as today ho throws out his arms to us,
ho says, "Behold, I have graven tlieo
on tho nalms of my hand." By tho
mightic.st cf all agencies, tlie potency of
prayer, I beg you seek our national welfare.
Some time ago there wcro 4,000,000
letters in the dead letter po.-'tofiiee in
this city?letters that lest their way?
but not one prayer ever directed to the
heart of God miscarried. The way is till
clear for the ascent of your supplications
heavenward in behalf of this nation.
Before the postal communication
was so easy, and long ago on a rock 100
feet high on the coast of England there
was a barrel fastened to a post, and in
great letters on tho side cf the rock, so
it could be seen fur out at sea, were the
words " Postofiico," and when ships
cam? by a boat put out to take and fetch
letters. And so sacred were tbeso deposits
of affection in that barrel that no
lock was ever put upon that barrel, although
it contained messages for America
and Europe and Asia and Africa
and all the islands of the sea. Many a
storm tossed sailor, homesick, got messages
of kindness by that rock, and
many a homestead heard good news
from a boy long gone. Would that all
tho heights of our national prosperity
were in interchange or sympathies?
prayers going up meeting blessingscomtng
down, postal celestial, not by a
Rtorin struck rock on a wintry coast,
but by the Keck of Ages.
Language.
Elegance cf language may not bo iu
the power of all cf us, but simplicity and
straigthforwardness are. Write much
as you would speak. Speak as you think,
[f with your inferiors, speak no coarser
than usual; if with your superiors, no
liner. Be what you say, and within the
rules of prudence say what you are.?
