of Rev. Dr. Talmage today is full of pi
stirring and practical lessons for alL ai
Washington has many men who, like
the hero of the texts, started from almost
nothing and rose to high place. J i
The texts chosen were: Genesis xxxvii, ai
28, "They drew and lifted up Joseph uj
out of the pit and sold Joseph to the ?
Ishmaelite8 for 20 pieces of silver." fr
Genesis xlv, 26, "He is governor over jr
all the land of Egypt." . ft
You cannot keep a good man down. fc
God has decreed for him a certain point g(
of elevation. He will bring him to that OJ
though it cost him a thousand worlds. ^
You sometimes find men fearful they 0j
will not be properly appreciated. Every cj
man comes to be valued at just what he 0j
is worth. You cannot write him up, and tl
you cannot write him down. These facts ^
are powerfully illustrated in my subject. { t?
I> vpvmlrl >vo nn incnH. tn KTirvnosft that '
you were not all familiar with the life ga
of Joseph?how his jealous brothers
threw him into a pit, but seeing a eara- m
van of Arabian merchants trudging E]
along on their camels, with spices and w
gums that loaded the air with aroma, al
sold their brother to these merchants,
who carried him down into Egypt; ta
Joseph there sold to Potiphar, a man of a
influence and office; how by Joseph's C1
integrity he raised himself to high posi- n
tion in the realm until, under the false r
charge of a vile wretch, lie was hurled /VV
into the penitentiary; how in prison he 0f
commanded respect and confidence; w
how by the interpretation of Pharaoh's "]
dream he was freed and became the to
chief man in the realm, the Bismarck of to
his century; how in the time of famine pr
Jnsenh bad the control of a magnificent ti,
storehouse, which he had filled during j
seven years cf plenty; how when h4s bi
brothers, who had thrown him into the l(
pit and sold him into captivity, applied jf
for corn lie sent them home with the
beasts of burden borne down under the
heft of the corn sacks; how the sin jc
against their brother which had so long e}
been hidden came out at last and was go
returned by that brother's forgiveness ij(
and kindness, the only revenge he took. m
Christian Character. a
You see, in the first place, that the pr
world is compelled to honor Christian ^
character. Potiphar was culy a man of th
the world, yet Joseph rose in his estimation
until all tho affairs of that pr
great house were committed to his sp
charge. From his servant no honor or p3
confidence was withheld. When Joseph gj(
was in prison, he soon won the heart of
the keeper, and though placed there for m
being a scoundrel, he soon convincedva
the jailer that he was an innocent and ^
trustworthy man, and released from k?
close confinement he became general su- jjj
perintendeni of prison affairs. Wherever w
Joseph was placed, whether a servant ^
in the house of Potiphar, or a prisoner
? . l?/\ VvArtnwA fiwif (i

man everywhere, and is an illustration gC
of the truth I lay down, that the world ar
is compelled to honor Christian charac- f0
ter. There are those who affect to deSpise
a religious life. They speak of it ^
as a system of phlebotomy by which the js
man is bled of all his courage and no- ^
bility. They say he has bemeaued him- ^
self. They pretend to have no more
confidence in him since his conversion g(
than before his conversion. But all this
is hypocrisy. There is a great deal of w
hypocrisy in the church, and there is a pr
great deal of hypocrisy outside the
church. It is impossible fcr any man ^
not to admire and confide in a man er
who shows that ho has really become a ]1(
child of God and is what he professes ar
to be. You <iannot despise a son of the
Lord God Almighty. Of course we have m
no admiration for the sham of religion. rn
I was at a place a few hours after the
ruffians had gone into the rail train and C1
demanded that the passengers throw up ai
their arms, and then these ruffians took
the pccketbooks, and satan comes and a
suggest to a man that he throw up his ?<
anus in hypocritical prayer and preten- ^
sion, and then steals his souL For the ca
mere pretension of religion we have ab^

horrence. iteawaia, me mug, uup- lc
tism, had an altar of Christian sacrifice ai
and an altar for sacrifice to devils, and jj,
there are many men now attempting
the same thing?half a heart fcr Gcd jj
and half a heart for the world?and it ^
is a dead failure, and it is a caricature
of religion, and the only successful as- t}
sault ever made on Christianity is the in- w
! consistency of its professors. You may p
j have a contempt for pretension to re* tj
; ligion, but when you behold the excel- a,
! lency cf Jesus Christ come out in the y
j life cf one cf his disciples, all that there ^
I is good and ncble in your soul rises up g,
| into admiration, and you cannot help vc
| it Though that man be as far beneath tj
! you in estate as the Egyptian slave of ^
I whom we are discoursing was beneath v*
| his rulers, by an irrevocable law of ^
! your nature, Potiphar and Pharaoh will y(
always esteem Joseph. c1
When Eudoxia, the empress, tlircaten- R.
ed Chrysostom with death, he made the jj
reply, "Tell the empress I fear nothing ' f]
but sin." Such a scene as that compels j
the admiration ef the world. There1 was ! C!
something in Agrippa and Felix which j s\
demanded their respect for Paul, the i v
rebel against government. I eloubt not \]
i thev would willingly have yielded their | c
onico raid dignity for a thousandth part j p
of that true heroism which beamed in j ^
the eye and beat in the ht ;irt of that un- f,
conquerable ajiostle. Paul did not cower t
before Felix'; Felix cowered before Paul.
The infidel and worldling are compelled ! r
to honor in their hearts, although they g
tpay not eulogize with their lips, a Christian
firm in i>ersecutioii, cheerful in v
poverty, trustful in losses, triumphant j p
in death. I find Christian men in all J t
professions and occupations, and I find j j
| tfioiii respected and honored and success- j <]

mere daub of a preteAder at paintings,

orks of these great masters and say,
.'hat is painting.' Now, you propose

etension of a holy life, and you call
at religion. I point you to the splend

Resale of Persecution.
We learn also from this story of
sepli that the result of persecution is
evation. Had it not been for his being
Id into Egyptian bondage by his manous
brothers and his false imprisonent
Joseph never would have become
governor. Everybody accepts the
omise, 4 'Blessed are iliey that are pereuted
for righteousness sake, for
eirs is the kingdom of heaven," but
ey do not realize the fact that this
inciplc applies to worldly as well as
iritual success. It is true in all deLrtments.
Men rise to high official potions
through misrepresentation. Pub;
abuse is all that some cf our public
en have had to rely upon for their eleition.
It has brought to them what
lent and executive force could not
eve achieved. Many of these who are
aking great effort for place and power
ill never succeed just because they
e not of enough importance to be
used. It is the nature of men?that is

artyr, standing with her husband at

iernal ingenuity could invent, but the
itter the persecution the more rapidly
icy spread until you know what a
reat host they have become and what a
cmendous force for God aini the truth
t>-y are wielding all the world over. It
as persecution that gave Scotland to
resbytoriahism. It was persecution
mt gave our land first to civil liberty
id afterward to religious freedom,
ea, I might go farther back and say it
as persecution that gave the world the
reat salvation of the gospel. The ribald
lockery, the hungering and thirsting,
ic unjust charge, the ignominious
eatli, when all the force of hell's fury
as hurled against the cross, was the
Production of that religion which is
it to be the earth's deliverance and our
:ernal salvation. The state sometimes
lid to the church, "Come, take my
and, and I will help you." What was
ic result? The church went back, and
: lost its estate of holiness, and it bciiine
ineffective. At other times the
fate said to the church, 4 Twill crush
ou." What has been the result? After
[?e storms have spent their fury the
Irarcli, so far from having lost any cf
is force, has increased and is worth innitely
more after the assault than beore.
Read all history and yen will find
hat true. The church is far more inebted
to the opposition cf civil governin
nt than to its approval. The fires cf the
take have only been the torches which
hrist held in his hand, by the light of
riiich the church has marched to her

A Thousand Toncues.
Learn also from our subject that sin
vill come to exposure. Long, long ago
kuI these brothers sold Joseph into
Jgypt. They had made the old father
x-Vleve that his favorite child was de;uL
rbey had suppressed the crime, and it
? ??'1 lror\f V\V

brothers. But suddenly the secret is out.
The old father hears that his son is in
igypt, having been sold there by the
nalice of his own brothers. How their
"heeks must have burned and their hearts
>unk at the flaming out of this long suppressed
crime. The smallest iniquity
a&s_ a thousand tongues, and they pyill
blab out exposure. Saul was sent to de- j
stroy the Canaauites, their sheep and *
their oxen, but whc 11 he got down there cc
among the pastures lie saw some fine ! hi
sheep and oxt n too fat to kill, so be
thought he would steal them. Nobody 1 S?
would know it. He drove these stolen fc
sheep and oxen toward home, but stop- tl
ped to report to the prophet how lie had w
executed his mission, when in the dis- ai
tance the sheep began to bleat and the ; C(
oxen to bellow. The secret was out, and |
Samuel said to the blushing and eon- I
x j c? 1 i y<
j iu.v.71 Oiiui, vt uat im aiiuui uu uivuviun i
i of the sheep that I hoar and the bellow- j
ing of the cattle?" Ah, my hearer, yon j
cannot keep an iniquity stilL At just
the wrong time the sheep will bleat ! 1D
and the oxen will bellow. Achan cannot , 2'
steal the Babylonish garment without E
being stoned to death, nor Arnold betray
his country without having his neck j
stretched. Look over the police arrests, i
These thieves, these burglars, these ; w
counterfeiters, these highwaymen, these j cj
assassins, they all thought they could hi
bury their iniquity so deep down it ' st
would never come to resurrection, but ! m
there was some shoe that answered to ir
the print in the soil, some false keys ' pt
found in their possession, some blo<xly i hi
knife that whispered of the death, and j m
the public indignation and t he anat he-ma m
of outraged law hurled them into the tli
~~
dungeon or hoisted the m en the gallows. ! j2]
Francis I, king of France, stood coun- j
seling with his officers how he could j fr
take his army into Italy, when Ameril, i q(
the fool cf the court, leaped out from a ^
corner of the room and said, "Yen had |
better be consulting how you will get i
your annyback." And it was found i pj
that Francis I, and not Ameril, was the | jD
fooL Instead cf consulting as to the be st pj
way of getting into sin, you had better ca
consult as to whether you will be able ; ]i
to get out cf it. If the world does not ; ^
expose you, you will tell it yourself. 1
There is an awful power in an aroused j ^
conscience. A highwayman plunged out ! 0f
upon Whitcfield as he rode along on ! y(
horseback, a sack of money on the liorso I sc
?money that he had raised for orphan cc
asylums?and the highwayman put his '
hand on the gold, and Whiteneld turned j ^
to him and said, "Touch that if you i ^
dare; that belongs to the Lord Jesus y
Christ." And the ruffian slunk into the \ w
forest. Conscience! Conscience! The j a
ruffian had a pistol, but Whitcfield ! fe
shook at him the finger of doom. Do not | v(
think you can hide any great and pro- j y(
tracted sin in your heart, my brother, i
In an unguarded moment it will slip off
the lip, or some slight action may for cr
the moment set ajar this door that you ; j(
wanted to keepclosed. But suppose that I
in this life you hide it, and yen got i V(
along with this transgression burning in j ji:
your heart, as a ship on lire within for
days hinders the flames from bursting 1
out by keeping down the hatches, yet at i m
last in the judgment that iniquity will i w
blaze out before God and the universe, i nj
Links of tlie Universe. | j
Learn also from this subject that there ca
is an inseparable connection between ^
all events, however remote. The uui- ot
verse is only one thought of God. Those g0
things which seemed fragmentary and
isolated are only different parts cf that j ^
great thought. How far apart seemed : m
these two events?Joseph sold to the j ju
Arabian merchants and his rulership of | ^
Egypt?yet you see in what a mysterious j
way God connected the two into one ^
plan. So the events are linked together. ^
You who are aged men look back and pj
group together a thousand things in ca
your life that once seemed isolated. One , _j.
undivided chain of events reaches from w
the garden of Eden to the cross of i or
Calvary, raid thus up to the kingdom of^
heaven. There is a relation between the ; _
smallest insect that hums in the sum- j
mcr air and the archangel on his throne. ! __
God can trace a direct ancestral line I ?
from the bine jay that this spring will ^
build its nest in the tree behind the j j
house to some one of the flock of birds ! ^
which, when Noah hoisted the ark's yf
window, with a whir and dasli of
bright wings, went out to sing over j '
j Mount Ararat. The tulips that bloom
in the garden this spring were nursed j e
by the snow flakes. The farthest star on j (
| one side of the universe could not look I
toward the farthest star on the other ju
side of the universe and say, "You are
no relation to me,"forfrom that bright i ^
orb a voice of light would ring across ar
the heavens responding, "Yes, yes, we j
are sisters." Nothing in God's universe I f.
swings at loose ends. Accidents are only j
God's way of turning a leaf in the book ^
of his eternal decrees. From our cradle I
to our grave there ls a path all marked cj
out. Each event in our life is connected cc
with every other event in our life. Our m
losses may be the most direct road to ^
our gain. Our defeat and our victory ^
are twin brothers. j ^
The whole direction of your life was : p(
changed by something which at thetimo j |
seemed to you trifling, while some oc* w
currence which seemed tremendous affected
ycu but little, God's plans are ! v
magnificent beyond all comprehension. .
He molds us and turns and directs us, I _
and we know it not. Thousands of years ! *
are to him as the flight of a shuttle. I ^
TliO most terrific occurrence does not |
make God tre mble. The most trhim
pliant achievement does not lift him into
rapture. That one great thought of j
God goes out through the* centuries, and C1
nations rise and fall, and eras pass, and j
the world changes, but God still keeps ;
the undivided maste r.*, linking e vent to
event and century to century. To God j1(
they are all one event, one history, one j
plan, cue development, one system. |

We also leam from this story the pro iety
of laying up for the future. Dur- a
ig the seven years of plenty Joseph y(
cparod for the famine, and when it ai
une he had a crowded storehouse. The q,
fe of most men in a worldly respect is a
vided into years of plenty and famine. I to
is seldom that any man passes J jB
irongh life without at least seven years ! fr
! plenty. During those seven years | fp
>ur business bears a rich harvest- You
arcely-know where all the money
lines from, it comc3 so fast. Every p;
irgain you make seems to turn into ]y
)lcL Y'ou contract few bad debts. You as
e astonished with large dividends.
cu invest more and more capital. You th
onder how men can be content with oc
small business, gathering in only a sv
w hundred dollars while you reap th
rnr thousands. Those are the seven ] ]
:ars of plenty. Now Joseph has time pT
prepare for the threatened famine, for
i almost every man there do come sev- tb
t years of famine. Y'ou will be 6ick,
>u will be unfortunate, you will be
branded, there will be hard times, A
>u will be disappointed, and if you b(
ivc no storehouse upon which to fall vr
tck you may be famine struck. We fr
ivc 110 admiration for this denying th
leself all personal comfort and lux- fo
-v for the mere nleasure of hoardintr ! ct
3, this grasping, grasping for the mere ct
easnrc of seeing how Large a pile ycu Cu
m get, this always being poor because tn
; soon as a dollar comes in it is sent
it to see if it can find another dollar,
i that it can cany it home on its back,
e have a contempt fcr all those things,
it there is au intelligent and noble T
inded forecast which we love to see y(
i men who have families and kindred n<
'pending upon them for the blessings hi
education and home. God sends us to a(
ic insects fcr a lesson, which, while jp
ey do not stint themselves in the
escnt, do not forget their duty to fore- ,
st the future. "Go to the ant, thou ?.
uggard. Consider her ways, and be
ise, which, having no guide, overseer
ruler, provideth her meat in the sum- 01
er and gathereth her food in the bar- M
st." ' ' S
Now, there are two ways of laying up ci
oney. One of these is to put it in stock ^
id deposit it in bank and invest it on Ci
>nd and mortgage. The other way to jp
y up money is giving it away. He is
e safest who makes both of these in stments.
There are iij this house men
ho if they lose every dollar they have
the world would be millionaires for si
ernity. They made the spiritual in- 01
stment. But the man who devotes C

eathe, died. But above all, lay up p<

ate in value. They never are at a dis- H
milt. They are always available. You rt
ay feel safe now with your $1,000 or is

iperstition and not laxity on the part 1
: tho agent bars the way to rents and ; 1
venue.
Houses in which several people have
ed within a short period are less vallble
for a time on that account. "Of
rarse, "an agent said, "when deaths
ive occurred because of bad sewerage,
id where the sanittvry conditions are
herwise bad, no one would blame peoe
for remaining away. But houses
here a couple cf people had died of old
{6 would be looked upon by a certain
ass as 'unlucky,' and tho.ro are thou,nd3
who could not be bought to go ini
such a house. *
"The worst peoplo in that respect,"
) continued, "are the young mothers,
e have had contracts broken because
unebody said that 'babies never thrive
1 that block' and because 'the last
mily that occupied the flat had twins.' T
ut the greatest trouble in that line 5
imes because of Friday and the number *
t. When you find a man who will sign '
lease on a Friday, you may make up J
>ur mind that he will be a good tenant, 5
id that he does not possess any of the 3
lalities of the dreaded kicking tenant. *
s to the number 13, why, it is as hard ! s
i rent a house with that number as one 1
i which there is a cross eyed liallboy or 1
ora which a contagious disease flag is ^
ring."
To prove this, the agent told of a ^
;autiful apartment houso near Central E
irk, which had been completed recent- [ 1
and for which, despite its advantages i .
i to location and superiority of con- !
ruction, no tenants could be found, al- [
lough its less attractive neighbors were

lort time to learn the cause, aDd when t

Dnnraren'd Kapaclous Fish. 5 ^
The Earl of Dunraven, finding that | M
icre were too many pike in his waters jj ,r
t Adare Manor, County Limerick, Ire- ^
aid, for successful trout fishing, recent- j .,
r ordered his professional fisherman to j ?
ipture what lie could of them. Thirty- j *
nir have been taken so far of an aver- J ^
?e weight of 9 pounds each, the j 0
irgest weighing 23 pounds and the j
nallest 2 jiounds. Why tlirce-fourths 1 *1
f them were females is not understood i <o
t all. That there was need of taking } tj
at the pike is shown by the fact that j .a
jveral of the fish contained trout, and j 0
early all the females were heavy with ] f
oawu. The pickerel fry feed on the j
out aud salmon fry, being far belter f ?
ghter.s tlian equal sized trout. j
The greatest of care is necessary at j
sh hatcheries to prevent the pickerel j *c
y from getting among the fry of other ! n

ear will destroy thousands of other j t:
nail fish, and the loss is considerable. 0

which met in Columbia yester- 1

We have assembled here in obediace
to the call of the State Chairlan

There aie many candidates for the
