Dr. Tal mage's Eloquent Sermon on Armageddon?The Regiments and Their Commanders?On the Wrong Side. Swords of Truth. Washington, Oct. 11.?In his sermon today Rev. Dr. Talmage discussed the great conflict which prophecy foreshadows as the climax of the world's straggles?Armageddon. His text was Revelation xvi, 16, "And ho gathered them together in a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." Megiddo is the name of a mountain that looks down upon Esdraelon, the greatest battlefield that the world has ever seen. There Barak fought the Canaanites; there Gideon fought the Midianites; there Josiah fought the invading Egyptians. The whole region stands for battle, and the Armageddon of my text borrows its name from it and is here used not geographically, but figuratively, while setting forth the idea that there i3 to be a world's closing battle, tho greatest of ail battles, compared with which the conflicts of this century and ail other centuries were insignificant, because of the greater number of combatants engaged, the greater victory and the greater defeat The exact date of that battle we do not know, and the exact locality is uncertain. It j may be in Asia, Europe, Africa or America, bat the fact that such a battle will take placo is as certain as God's eternal truth. When I use the superlative degree in regard to that coming conflict, I do not forget that there have been wars all alcng on stupendous scale. They Will Not Equal. As when at Marathon, Miltiades brought on his men, not in ordinary march, but in full run, upon the horsemen of Persia and the black archers of , Ethiopia and scattered them and, cry- I ing, "Bring fire! Bringfire!" set into flam6 the ships cf the invaders. As when Pizarro overcame Peru. As when Philip II triumphed over Portugal. As when the Huns met the Goths. As when 300 Spartans sacrificed themselves at Thermopylae. As when the Carthaginians took Agrigentum. As when Alexander headed the Macedonian phalanx. As when Hannibal invaded Italy. Battle of Hastings! Battle cf Valmy! Battle of Pultowa! Battle of Arbela! Battle of Tours! Battle of Borodino! Battle of Lncknow! Battle cf Solferino! Battle of Fontenoy, where 100,000 were slain! Battle of Chalons, where 800,000 were ma^acred! Battle of Herat, where Genghis Khan destroyed 1, GOO, 0001 ives! Battlo of Neisbar, where 1,747,000 went down to death! One million eight hundred and sixteen thousand slain at Troy! And American battles, too near (us now to allow us to appreciate ?heir awful grandeur and significance, except you who were there, facing the north or facing the sonth. But all the battles I have named put together will not equal t in numbers enlisted, or fierceness, or grandeur, or triumph, or rout, the coming Armageddon contest. Whether it shall be fought with printer's ink or ' keen steel, whether by brain or muscle, whether by pen or carbine, whether by booming cannon or thunders of Chris- . tian eloquence, I do not know, and you may take what I say as figurative or | literal, but take as certain what St John, in his vision cn tho rocks of the Grecian archipelago, is pleased to call [ Armageddon. The Rival Commanders. My sermon will first mention the regiments that will be engaged in th<* conflict, then will say something of the | commanders on both sides, and then speak of tho battle itself and the tremendous issues. Beginning with those I who will fight on the wrong side, I first mention the regiments diabolic. In this very chapter from which my text is taken we are told that the spirits of devils will be there. How many mil' lions of them no one can tell, for the statistics of the salanic dominions have never been reported, and the roll of that ihosfc has never on earth been called, but from tho direful and continental and j planetary work they have already done j and the fact that every man and woman and child on earth has a tempter there must be at least 1,600,000,000 of evil spirits familiar with our world. Perhaps as many more are engaged on especial enterprises of abomination ' among the rations and empires of the earth. Besides that there must be an inconceivable number of inhabitants in realms pandemouiac, staying there to keep the great capitals of sin going from age to age. Many of them once Jived in heaven; but, engaging in con- j 6piracy to put satan on the throne, they were hurled out and down, and they j are now among the worst thugs of the - universe. Having been in three worlds ?heaven, earth and hell?they have all the advantages of great experience. Their power, their speed, their cunning, their hostility, wonderful beyoud all statement. In the Armageddon they will, I doubt not, be present in full array. They will have no reserve corps, but all will be at the front. There will not only be soldiers in that battle who can be seen and aimed at, but troops intangible and without corporeity, and weapons may strike clear through them without giving them hurt With what shout of defiance will they climb up the ladders of fire and leap from the battle- > ments of asbestus into the last campaign | of hell. Paul, the bravest of men, was * . _ -'-Li. .*? ?;i I impressed witn tneir rnignt ior e>n j when he said, "We wrestle not against ; flesh and blood, but against principalities and against powers and against the rulers of the darkness in this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Oh, what an agitating moment, when the ranks diabolic move up and take their places for conflict in the Armageddon. The Regiments Alcoholic. Other regiments who will march into I the fight will be the regiments alco- j holic. They will be mad6 up of the : brewers' companies, distillery owners , and liquor dealers' associations and the j hundreds of millions of their patrons. ; They will move into the ranks with what the Bible calls the "song of the j drunkard." And what a bloated and soaked and bleared and blasted and hiccoughing and nauseating host. If now, according to a scientist in England, there are 50,000 deaths annually from strong drink and in the United States, according to another estimate, 98,000 deaths annually from strong drink, what an army of living drunkards that implies, coming up from the whole earth to take their places in the last battle, especially as the evil increases and the millions now staggering on their way may be joined by other millions of re enforcements, brigade after brigade, with drunkards' bones drumming on the head of beer barrels the dead march of souls! These millions of victims of alcohol, joined by the millions of the victims cf arrack, the spirituous liquor of China and India and Arabia and Egypt and Ceylon aud Siam. Other regiments who will march into the fight on the wrong side will be the regiments infidel. God gave but one revelation to the human race, and these men have been trying to destroy it. .Many of the books, magazines and newspapers, through perpetual scoff at Christianity, and seme of the universities, have become recruiting agencicR for those regiments. The greatest brigadier of all those regiments, Voltaire, who closed his life of assault upon Christianity by writing: "Happiness is a dream, and only pain is real. I have thought so for 84 years, and I know no better nlan than to resism mvself to the inev X'-?? V itabls and to reflect that flics are born to be devoured by spiders and man to be consumed by care. I wish I had never been born." Oh, the God fcrsaken regiments of infidels, who, after having spent their life in antagonizing the only influence that could make the earth better, gather with their low wit, and their vile sneer, and their learned idiocy, and their horrible blasphemy, to take part against God and righteousness in the great Armageddon! To Kill Christians. Other regiments who will march in on the wrong side in the battle will be the regiments Mohammedan. At the present tim~ there are about 175,000,0i 0 ! Moslems. Their plain mission is to kill Christians, demean womanhood and take possessiou of the earth in the interest of ignorance, superstition and moral filth. The massacre cf 50,000 Armenians in the*last two or three years is only one chapter in their effort to devastate the earth of everything but themselves. So determined are they in their bad work that ail the nations of j the earth put together dare not say to them, "Stop, or we will make you stop!" My hope is that long before that last battle of which I speak the Turkish government, and with it Mohammedanism, may be wiped out of existence. The Turkish power for the last 400 years ; has been the mightiest hindrance on | earth to religious liberty and moral im- ; provement. Her extermination isproph- { esied in the book of Revelation iu the figure of the drying up of the liver 1 Euphrates, and she is going rapidly, 1 thank God. In 1820, by the Greek insurrection, she received the first destructive blow. In 1823 the Turkoman army of 30,000 was destroyed and the cause of liberty advanced. Iu 1827 England, France and Russia, not so cautious as they have since been, at Navarino htimiliated the Turkish fleets, and Greece was free. Weaker and weaker the Turkish power has become, and it has lost Algiers and Wallacbia, and, more than all, during the past decade, through her cruelty, has lost the sympathy of every good man and woman in all the earth, and if William E. Gladstope were prime minister cf Englahd the Turkish government would very soon either quit her outrages or go down under the bombardment of the men-of-war from many nations now hoveriDg near the Bosporus. But if the Bible prophecy concern ? - <? *1 f li.nfnn io ing me drying up cu mw juu^uiaua 10 > not fulfilled before the battle mentioned in my text Mohammedanism will march in with sword and poison and torch to take her part in the great At mageddon. On the Wrong Side. Yea, to show the magnitude of the forces on the wrong side, I have to tell you that what is left of heathenism at that time will march into the conflict. There are 150,000,000 fetish idolators, 220,000,000 Brahmins, -100,000,000 Buddhists. Through the subliinest movement of this century, the missionary movement, all the time gathering in momentum, I believe all cr nearly ail of that 770,000,000 of heathendom will be converted to God. But that which is not converted will come into the Armageddon cm the wrong side. Other regiments on that wrong side will be made up of offenders of all sorts ?the defrauders, the libertines, the dynamiters, the anarchists, the oppressors and the foes of society, the criminals of. all nations, by whatever name they are now called or shall then be called. They may not before that have openly taken sides, but then they will be compelled to take sides. With what venom, with What violence, with what desperation they will fall into linp at the great Armageddon! Is it not appalling, these nnccnnted regiments of the earth, to be joined by the uncounted regiments from perdition? Can any power cope with them? Especially when I tell you who their commander is, for so much in all wars depends upon the chieftain. Their leader will not be a political accident or a military "happen so. " By talent and adroitness and courage and un- ! ceasing iudustry he has come to the bad ; eminence. He disputed the throne of heaven with the Almighty, but no one j has ever disputed the throne of eternal j night with this monarch, who will in j the last tattle take the field in person, j Milton calls him Lucifer, Goethe calls j him Mephistopheles, the Hebrew calls him Abaddon, the Greek calls him ; Apoilyon. He is the impersonation of j all malevolence, of all oppression, of all | cruelty, the summing up of all false- j hood. In his make up nothing bad was | left out and nothing good was put in, j and he is to be the general, the com- [ mauder in chief of all the forces on the : wrong side in the great Armageddon, j He has been In more battles than you have ever read about, and he has gained mere victories than have ever been j celebrated in this world. But I guess I this old warrior of pandemonium will j not have an undisputed field. I guess there will be an army to dispute with j his forces. I have mentioned the supremacy of this world. I guess our troops will not have to run when on the day mentioned in my text all the ?100 Reward ?100.

We have been measuring the calihere nf ft-ioir Trmo Wo havi\ bpPTl PI amining their ammunition wagons. Nov,- let us look at the forces to be marshaled in the Armageddon on the right side. The Regiments Angelic. First cf all, I mention the regiments angelic. Alas, that the subject of dcmcnology seems better understood than the subjects of angelclogy. But tho glorious spirits around the throne and all the bright immortals that fill the galleries and levels of the universe are to take part in that last great fight, and the regiments angelic are the only regiments capable cf meeting the regiments plutonic. To show you something cf an angel's power, I ask you to consider that just one of them slew 185,000 of Sennacherib's host in a night, and it is not a tough arithmetical question to .solve, if one angel can slay 185,000 troops in a night, how many can 500, COO, 000 of them slay? The old book says that "they excel in strength." It is not a celestial mob, but a disciplined host, and they know their rank. Cherubim, seraphim, thrones, principalities ! and powers. And the leader cf these I regiments is Michael the Archangel. I David saw just one group of angels I sweep past, and they were 20,000 char| ioted. Paul, wlo in the Gamaliau college had his faculties so wonderfully developed, confesses his incapacity to i count them by saying, "Ye are come to Mount Zion and an innumerable company of angels." If each soul on earth has a guardian angel, then there must be 1,600,000,000 angels on earth today. Besides that, heaven must be full of an gels, those who stay there, jnoi oniy the 12 angels who, we are told, guard I the 12 gates, but those angels who help in the worship and go on mission from mansion to mansion and help to build the hcsannas and inthrone the halleluiahs and roll the doxologics of the service that never ends. But they all, if required, wiil be in the last fight between holiness and sin. Heaven could afford to adjourn just one day and empty all its temples and mansions and palaces and boulevards into that one battle. I think all tho angel3 of God will join in it Fire Footed Hosts. The one that stood wi th sword of flame at the gate of paradise. The one that pointed Hagar to the fountain in the wilderness. The one that halted Balaam on the highway. The one that warned Lot to flee the doomed city. The one that took part with Joshua against the Canaanites. The one that informed Mary of the approach of the Nativity. Tho one that wrestled with Jacob at the brock Jabbok. The one that swung open the gate for the incarcerated Apostle Peter. The one that strengthened Christ in his last paroxysm. All, I think, will be there?their velocities inconceivable, so that when Daniel was in prayer Gabriel, we are told, came from heaven to speak to him, and if heaven be at the center of the universe that angel must Have traveled rnousanus 01 minions oi miles in an iDstant. Talk of earthly regiments on double quick march 1 What will be the speed of the regiments angelic when at the command of the archangel, "Down to earth! Forward into the battle!" those regiments angelic, lightning winged, rainbow girdled, fire footed, shall sweep into the great Armageddon. The next regiments that I see marching into the fight will be the regiments ecclesiastic. According to the last account, and practically only in the beginning of the great gospel movement which proposes to take the whole earth for God, there are 4,600,000 Methodists, 8,725,000 Baptists, 1,280,833 Presbyterians, 1,230,000 Lutherans and 640,000 Episcopalians. But the present statistics of churches will be utterly swamped when, after all the great denominations have done their best work, the slowest of all the sects will have more numbers than the present enrollment of all denominations throughout Christendom. You see, by that time an atheist or an infidel will be a curiosity, and he will be looked at as we look at a man with long hair reaching below his shoulders aud long fingernails that are never cut and a stare in the eyes indicating incipient lunacy?not to be argued with, but to bo pitied?while it will not be any unusual tbing to see men as much devoted to their religion as Francis Xa vier was devoted to his religion, when he went through the streets asking all to come to hear his faith expounded, in ten years planting the gospel in 50 nations and baptizing over 1,000,000 souls. And the groat hosts of believers will fill the earth, making the 2,517,000 combatants that Xerxes reviewed a corporal's guard in comparison. The Keciments Ecclesiastic. I see them, tho regiments ecclesiastic, moving into that last battle. The Lutherans headed by some great Martin Luther yet to be born. The Methodists headed by some George Whitefield yet to come. The Presbyterians headed by 6ome John Knox yet to arise. The Episcopalians headc-d by some Bishop Charnock yet to be enrobed. The Baptists headed by some Missionary Carey yet to bless the world. The Congregational church headed by seme Doctor Kirk of peutecostal power yet to take tongue of lire. I see them moving into the ranks, carrying a standard striped and starred, striped as suggesting him by whose stripes we are healed and starred as with the promise that those who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars, foreier and ever. Iuto that battle on our side will roll these mighty engines ci power, me priming presses i of Chistendcm. Into that battle will | also move the mightiest telescopes, that shall bring the stars in their courses to fight for our God. Again, the regiments elemental will come into that battle on the right side. The winds! God showed what he could do with them when the splintered timbers of the ships of the Spanish armada were strewn on the rocks of Scotland, Norway and the Hebrides. -The waters! He showed what he could do with them when he put the whole earth under them, leaving it subaqueous 150 days. The earthquakes! He showed what ho could do with them when he let Caracas drop into the open mouth of horror and the islands of the sea went into entombment. The lightnings! He showed what he could do with them when he wrapped Mount Sinai in tiame, and we have all seen their flashing lanterns moving with the chariots of the midnight hurricane. All the regiments elemental will come in on our side in the great Aimageddon. Come, and let us mount and ride along the line and review tin; troops of Emanuel and find that the regiments terrestrial and ee ?a? lestial that come Into that battle on the right side are, as compared with those on the wrong side, 2 to 1, 100 to 1, 1,000 to 1. The King of Kings In Command. But who is the commander in chief on this side? Splendid armies have Leon ruined, caught in traps, flung over precipices and annihilated through the incompetence or treachery of their general. Who commands on our side? Jc-hovab-Jireh, so called in one place. "Captain of salvation," so called in another place. King of kings, Lord Gf lords, Conqueror of conquerors. His eye omniscient, his arm omnipotent. He will take the lead. He will draw the sword. He will give the command. And when he plants his foot for the combat thy foundations of the earth will quake, and when he shall give the battle shout all the gates of hell will tremble. But do noi let us 6hout until afterwe have seen the two armies clash in the last struggle. Oh, my soul! The battle of all time and all eternity opens! "Forward!" "Forward!" is the command on both sines given. The long lines of both armies waver and swing to and fro. Swords of truth against engines infernal. Black horse cavalry of perdition against white horse cavalry of heaven. Tho?redemption of this world and the honor of the throne of God to vindicate. How tremendous is the battle. The army of righteousness seems giving way. But no. It is only a part of the maucuver of tho infinite light. It is a deploy of the host celestial. What a meeting in this field of splendor and wrath, of the an gelic and of the diabolic, of fccsanna and blasphemy, of song and curse, of the divine and the satanic. The thunderbolts of the Almighty burst and blaze upou the foe. Boom! Boom! By the torches of lightning that illumine tlie scene I see that the crisis of the Aimageddou lies come. It is the turning point of this last battle. The next moment will decide all. Aye, the forces of Apollyon arc bieaking ranks. ?cc, see! They fly! Seme on foot, some on wing! They fly! Back OAer the battlements of perdition they go down with infinito crash, all the regiments diabolic. Back to the mountains and caves the armed hosts of earth, .crying as they retreat to the rocks and mountains, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that .sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day cf his wrath has come, and who shall be able to stand?"' After the Battle. And while Apollyon, the prisoner of war, is being dragged in chains to his dungeon and our conqueror is amounting his throne I look off upou the battlefield, and among the slain I find the carcasses of Mohammedanism and paganism and atheism and infidelity and dissipation and fraud and multitudinous wrong strewing the plain, and I hear the angel that staudeth iu the sun crying iu the words cf Revelation to all the fowls that fly in the midst cf heaven?the eagles, and the vultures, and the hawks, and the albatrosses, "Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great Gcd, that ye may eat the flesh of kiugs, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh cf mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and cf them that sit 011 them."

The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ All the Christian workers cf our time, you, my hearers, ai:d yen, my readers, aud all the Christian workers of all the ages have helped on the magnificent result, and the victory is ours as much as theirs. This moment inviting all outsiders, through the ransomed blood of the everlasting covenant, to get into the ranks of the conquerors and under the banner cf cur leader, I shall not close the service with prayer, as we usually do, but immediately give out the Moravian hymn, by James Montgomery, appropriate when written, in 1S19, but more appropriate in 1890, and ask you, with full voices as well as with grateful hearts, to chant it: See Jehovah's banner furl'd, Sheathed his sword. He speaks; 'tis done. And tho kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. Patients Should Not Be Told Too Mnch.
