^ Iter. Dr. Talmage at Hi# liest In a SerK
moo Oeclai ing Goodness and Power
and Watchfulness of God?Looking at .
the Midnight Heavens.
|.
BBSF Washington, Jan. 81.?This sermon i
9 uf Dr. Talmage, looking at the midnight j
Bfigtf heavens through the tyes of one cf the j
KB ancients, is unique for practicality and j
_ must set all to useful thinking. His text ;
9 is Amos v, 8, * 'Seek him that maketh
I | the seven stars and Orion."
BBS A country fanner wrote this text, '
Bhm Amos of Tekoa. He plowed the earth
HP and thrashed the grain by a new j
WBT thrashing machine just invented, as
Wm formerly the cattle trod out the grain. \
He gathered the fruit of the syca- j
more tree and scarified it with an j
r iron comb just before it was getting
ripe, as it was necessary and customary
K " in that way to take from it the bitterness.
He was the son of a poor shepherd
and stuttered, but before the stammer
? ? .^rrinitc
rUdUU lliU Jt uixiouuvo uiiv4
and Phoenicians and Moabites and Am^
monies and Edomites and Israelites
trembled.
*** Moses was a law giver, Daniel was a
prince, Isaiah a courtier and David a
king, but Amos, the author of my text,
was a peasant, and, as might be supposed,
nearly all his parallelisms are
pastoral, his prophecy full of the odor
of new mown hay, and the rattle of locusts,
aDd the rumble of carts with
sheaves, and the roar of wild beasts de- I
vouring the flock while the shepherd j
came out in their defense. He watched j
the herds by day, and by night inhabited
^ ___ a booth made out of bashes, so that
- J&rough these branches he could see the
"* ? stars all-night long, and was more familiar
with them than we who have
tight roofs to our houses and hardly
ever see the stars except among the tall
brick chimneys of the great towns. But
at seasons of the year when the herds
were in special danger he would stay
out in the open field all through the
darkness, his only shelter the curtain of
the night heaven, with the stellar embroideries
and silvered tassels of lunar j
light.
Alone With His Hard*.
What a life of solitude, all alone with
his herds! Poor Ainos! And at 12
o'clock at night hark to the wolf's bark,
and the lion's roar, and the bear's
growl, and the owl's te-wliit te-who,
"*Si?1 and the serpent's hiss as he unwittingly
steps too near while moving through the
thickets. So Amos, like other herdsmen,
rr* ~ got the habit of studying the map of the
heavens because it was so much of the
time spread out before him. He noticed
some stars advancing and others receding.
He associated their dawn and setting
with certain seasons of the year.
He had a poetic nature, and he read
night by night and month by month
and year by year the poem of the constellations,
divinely rhythmic. But two
rosettes of stars especially attracted his
attention while seated on the ground or
lying on his back under the open scroll
B of the midnight heavens?the Pleiades, j
P- or seven stars, ana uriou. rue iorrner
group this rustic prophet associated with
the spring, as it rises about the first of
May. The latter he associated with the
winter, as it conies to the meridian in
January. The Pleiades, or seven stars,
connected with all sweetness and joy;
Orion, the herald of the tempest. The
ancients were the more apt to study the
physiognomy and juxtaposition of the
heavenly bodies because they thought
they had a special influence upon the
earth?and perhaps they were right. If
the moon every few hours lifts and lets
down the tides of the Atlantic ocean
and the electric storms in the sun, by
all scientific admission, affect the earth,
why not the stars have proportionate
effect?
t And there are some things which
* make me think that it may not have
been all superstition which connected
the movements and appearance of the
heavenly bodies with great moral events
on earth. Did not a meteor run on evangelistic
errand on the first Christmas
night and designate the rough cradle of
\ our Lord? Did not^the stars in their
courses fight against Sisera? Was it
merely coincidental that before the de^
strucflon of Jerusalem the moon was
hidden for 12 consecutive nights? Did
vnAiscl*r Konnon en a nenr ctsr an
V UUJ/JIVU ^ Xpeared
in constellation Cassiopeia and
' then disappeared just before Charles IX
6f France, who was responsible for the
St. Bartholomew massacre, died? Was it
without significance that, in the days cf
the Roman empire Justinian, war and
* famine were preceded by the dimness of
the sun, which for nearly a year gave
no more light than the moon, although
there were no clouds to obscuro it?
' Astrology, after all, may have been I
something more than a brilliant hear
thenism. No wonder that Amos of the
I text, having heard these two anthems
' of the st;irs, put down the stout, rough
staff of the herdsman and took into his j
- brown hand and cut and knotted fingers
the pen of a prophet and advised the
recreant people of his time to return to
God, saying, "Seek him that maketh
the seven stars and Orion." This command,
which Amos "gave 785 years B.
C., is just as appropriate for us 1897 j

? must see, that the God who made the j
| Pleiades and Orion must be the God of I
order. It was not so much a star here i
and a star there that impressed the in- !
spired herdsman, but seven in one group
and seven in the other group. He saw ;
that night after night and season after
season and decade after decade they had j
kept step of light, each one in its own
place, a sisterhood, never clashing and
never contesting precedence. From the i
time Hesiod called the Pleiades the
"seven daughters of Atlas" and Virgil
wrote in his JEneid of "stormy Orion" j
until now they have observed the order i
established tor their coming and going?

and in all directions malndmini.-tration! j <
The Gcd who keeps seven worlds in i j
right circuit for fi, 000 years can certainly j j
keep all the affairs of individuals and j
nations and continents in adjustment, j j
We had not better fret much, for the j
peasant's argument of the text was {
right. If God can take care of the seven j
worlds of the Pleiades and t lit four chit f j
worlds of Orion, he can probably take j j
care of the one world we inhabit. j .
So I feel very much as my father felt j ,
one day when we were going to the ,
country mill to get a grist ground, and j ,
I, a boy of 7 years, sat in the back part j ,
of the wagon, and our yoke of oxen ran ,
- " - e.i.?
away witn us ami nioug u i?uui^muu
road through the woods, .so that I
thought every moment we would he
dashed to pieces, and I made a terrible
outcry of fright, and my father turned
to me with a face perfectly calm and
said: "Do Witt, what arc you crying ,
about? I guess we can ride as fast as the I ,
oxen cau run." And, my hearers, why ,
should we be affrighted and lose our
equilibrium iu the swift movement of
worldly events, especially when we are
assured that it is not a yoke of unbroken
steers that are drawing us cu, but that
order and wise government are in the
yoke?
In your occupation, your mission,
your sphere, do the best you can and
then trust to God, and if tilings arc all
mixed and disquieting and your brain is
hot and your heart sick, g? t some one
to go out with you into the starlight and
point out to you the Pleiades, cr, better
than that, get into some observatory, and'
throngh the telescope see farther than
Amos with the naked eye could?namely,
200 stars in the Pleiades, and that
in what is called the sword of Orion
there is a nebula computed to be two
trillion two hundred thousand billions
of times larger than the sun. Oh, be
at peace with the God who made that
and controls all that, the wheel of
the constellations turning in the wheel
of galaxies for thousands of years
without the breaking cf a cog, or the
slipping of a band, or the snap of an
axle! For your placidity and comfort
through the Lord Jesus Christ 1 charge
you, "Seek him that maketh the seven
stars and Orion."
The God of Light.
Again, Amos saw, ;is we must see,
that the God who made these two groups
of the text was the God of light. Amos
saw that God was not satisfied with
making one star or two or three stars,
but he makes seven, and having finished
that group of words makes another
group?group after group. To the
Pleiades he adds Orion. It seems that
God likes light so well that he keeps
1-.-.,Onlr <mo liAinrr i;i flift nni

verse knows tbe statistics of solar, lunar,
stellar, meteoric creations, and that
is the Creator himself. And they have
all been lovingly christened, each one a
naine as distinct as the names of your
children. ' 'He telleth the number of the
stars; he calleth them all by tiieir
names." The seven Pleiades had names
given to them, and they are Alcyone,
Merope, Celieno, Electra, Slerope, Taygete
and Mai a.
But think of the billions and trillions
of daughters of starry light that G<k1
calls by name as they sweep by him
with beaming brow and lustrous robe!
So fond is God of light?natural light,
moral light, spiritual light! Again and
again is light harnessed for symbolization?Christ,
the bright and morning
star; evangelization, the daybreak; the
redemption of nations, sun of righteousness
rising with healing in his wings.
Oh, men and women, with so many sorrows
and sins and perplexities, if ycu
want light of comfort, light of pardon,
light cf goodness, in earnest prayer
through Christ, ' 'Seek him that niaketh
the seven stars and Orion!"
Again, Amos saw, as we must see,
that i*ho Goel who made these two archipelagoes
of stars must be an unchanging
GoeL There had been no change in
the stellar appearance in this herdsman's
lifetime, and his father, a shepherd, re
ported to mm mar mere imu ueeu uu i
change in his lifetime. And these two
clusters hang over the celestial arbor
now just as they were the first night that
they shone on the Edenic bowers the
same as when the Egyptians built the
pyramids,from the top of which to watch
them; the same as when the Chaldeans
calculated the eclipses; the same as
when Elihu, according to the book of
Job, went out to study the aurora borealis;
the same under Ptolemaic system
and Copernican system; the same from
Calisthenes to Pythagoras and from
Pythagoras to Herschel. Surely a
changeless God must have fashioned the
Pleiades and Orion. Oh, what an anodyne
amid the ups and downs of life
and the flux and reflux of the- tides of
prosperity to know that we have a
changeless God, "the same yesterday,
today and forever!"
Xerxes garlanded and knighted the !
steersman of his boat in the morning
and hanged him in the evening of the
same day. Fifty thousand people stood j
around the columns of the national cap- !
itol shouting themselves hoarse at the
presidential inaugural, and in four
months, so great were the antipathies,
that a ruffian's pistol in Washington depot
expressed the sentiment of many a
disappointed office seeker. The world
sits in its chariot and drives tandem,
and the horse ahead is Ruzza, and the
! horse behind is Anathema. Lord Cobham,
in King James' time, was applauded
and had ?35,000 a year, but was afterward
execrated and lived on scraps I
i stolen from the royal kitchen. Alexander
the Great after death remained uni
buried for 30 days because no one would
do the honor of shoveling him under.
The Duke of Wellington refused to have
his iron fence mended because it had
been broken by an infuriated jjopulace
in some hour of political excitement,
and he left it in ruins that men might
learn what a fickle thing is human favor.

This moment "seek him that maketh

A God of Love.
Agaia, Amos saw, as we must see, j
that the G<xl who made those two boa- j
eons of the oriental night sky must be i
' a God of love and kindly warning. The j
I Pleiades, rising in midxky, said to all the
herdsmen and shepherds and husband- j
men, "Come out and enjoy the mild j
weather and cultivate your gardens and |
fields." Orion, coming in winter, warned
them to prepare for tempest. All ;
navigation was regulated by these, two !
constellations. The one said to shipmaster
and crew, "Hoist sail for the sea !

lands." But Orion was the storm sig
nal unci said "Roof sail; make things
sung or put into harbor, for tho hurricanes
are getting their wings out." As
tho Pleiades were the sweet evangels of
the spring, Orion was the warning
prophet of the winter.
Oli, now I get the best view of God I
ever liqd! There are two sermons I never
want to preach?the one that pre sents
God so kind, so indulgent, so lenient, so
imbecile that men may do what they
will against him and fracture his every
law and put the pry of their impertinence
and rebellion under his throne
and while they are spitting in his face
and stabbing at his heart he takes them
up in liis arms and kisses their infuriated
brow and check, saying, "Of such is
the kingdom of heaven.'' The other
kind of sermon I never want to preach
is the one that represents God as all fire
and torture and thundercloud and with
redhot pitchfork tossing the human
race into paroxysms of infinite agony.
The sermon that I am now preaching believes
in a God of loving, kindly warning,
the Gcd of spring and winter, the
God of the Pleiades and Orion.
You must remember that the winter is
just as important as the spring. Let one
winter pass without frost to kill vegetation
and ice to bind the rivers and snow to
enrich our fields, and then you will have
to enlarge your hospitals and your cemeteries.
"A green Christmas makes a
fat graveyard" was the old proverb.
Storms to purify the air. Thermometer
at 3 degrees below zero to tone up the
system. December and January just as
important as May and June. I tell you,we
need the storms of life as much as
wc do the sunshine. There are more men
ruined by prosperity than by adversity.
If we had our own way in life, before
this we would have been impersonations
of selfishness and worldliness and dis
gristing sin and puffed up until we
would have been like Julius Caesar, who
was made by sycophants to believe that
he was divine, and the freckles on his
face were said to be as the stars of the
firmament.
The God of Orion.
One of the swiftest transatlantic voyages
made one summer by the Etruria
was because she had a stormy wind
abaft chasing her from New York t?
Liverpool. But to those going in the opposite
direction the storm was a buffeting
and a hindrance. It is a bad thing
to have a storm ahead, pushing us back,
but if we be God's children and aiming
toward heaven the storms of life will
only chase us the sooner into the harbor.
I am so glad to believe that the
monsoons, typhoons and mistrals and
siroccos of tl:e land and sea are not unchained
maniacs let loose upon the
earth, but are under divine supervision.
I am so glad that the God of the seven
stars is also the God of Orion. It was
out of Dante's suffering came the sublime
"Divina Commedia," and out of
John Milton's blindness came "Paradise
Lest," and out of miserable infidel
at tack came the4' Bridgewater Treatise"
in favor of Christianity, and out of
David's exile came the songs of consolation,
and out of the sufferings of Christ
came the possibility of the world's redemption,
and Gift of your bereavement,
your persecution, your poverties, your
misfortunes, may yet come an eternal
heaven.
Oh, what a mercy it is that in the
text and all up and down the Bible God
induces us to look out toward other
worlds! Bible astronomy in Genesis, in
Joshua, in Job, in the Psalms, in the
prophets, major and minor, in St.
John's Apocalypse, practically saying:
"Worlds, worlds, worlds! Get ready
for thebi!" We hare a nice little world
here that we stick to, as though losing
that we lose all. We are afraid of falling
off this little raft of a world. We arc
afraid that some meteoric iconoclast
will some night smash it, and we want
everything to revolve around it and are
disappointed when we find that it revolves
around the sun instead of the sun
revolving around it. What a fuss we
make about this little bit of a world, its
existence only a short time between two
spasms, the paroxysm by which it was
hurled from chaos into order, and tire
paroxysm of its demolition.
And I am glad that so many texts call
us to look off to other worlds, many of
them larger and grander and more resplendent.
"Look there," says Job, "at
Mazaroth mid Arc-turns and his sons!"
"Look there," says St. John, "at the
moon under Christ's feet!" "Look
there," says Joshua, "at the sun standing
still above Gibeon!" "Look there,"
says Moses, "at the sparkling firmament!"
"Look there," says Amos, the
herdsman, "at the seven stars and
Orion!" Do not let us be so sad about
those who shove off from this world under
Christly pilotage. Do not let us be
so agitated about our own going off this
little barge or sloop or canalboat of a
world to get 011 some Great Eastern of
the heavens. Do not let us persist in
wanting to stay in this barn, this shed,
this outhouse of a world, when all the
king's palaces,already occupied by many
of our best friends, are swinging wide
open their gates to let us in.
When I read. "In my Father's house
tire many mansions,"I do not know but
that each world is a room and as many
rooms as there are worlds, stellar stairs,
stellar galleries, stellar hallways, stellar
windows, stellar domes. How our
departed friends must pity us, shut up in
these c ramped apartments, tired if we
walk 15 miles, when they some morning,
by one stroke of wing, can make
circuit of the whole stellar system and
be back in time for matins! Perhaps
yonder twinkling oonsh llutiou is tiro
rosich lice of the martyrs; that group of
| 12 luminaries maybe the celestial home
j of the apostles. Perhaps that steep of
j light is the dwelling place cf angels
j cherubic, seraphic, arch angelic?a munj
sion with as many rooms as v/crlds and
i all their windows illuminated for fesi
tivity.
Worth of the Soul.
Oli, how 1 his widtns and lifts and
I stimulates our expectation! Ilov; little
j it makes the present, and hoy,- slr.ptni
dous it makes the future! How it cenI
soles its about our pious (lead, that, instead
of being boxed up and under the
i ground, have the range cf as many rooms
as t here are worlds, and welcome t verywherq,
for it is the Father's house, in
which there are many mansions! O,
Lord God of the sevt 11 stars and Orion,
how can I endure the transport, the ecstasy,
of such a vision! I must obey my
text and seek him. I will seek him. I
seek him new. for I call to inii:d that it
is not the material universe that is most
valuable, hut the spiritual, and that
each of us has a soul worth mere than
all the worlds which the inspired hordsmaii
saw from his Looth on the hills of
I Tekca.
I had studied it before, but the cathedral
c-f Cologne, Germany, never impressed
me as it did one summer. It is
admittedly the grandest Gothic structure
in the world, its foundation laid in
1248, only a few years ago completed.
More than 600 years in building. All
Europe taxed for its construction. Its
chapel of the Magi with preciou>witon'. s .
enough to purchase a kingdom. Its J
chapel of St. Agnes with masterpieces I
of painting. Its spire springing 511 feet
into the heavens. Its stained gljtss tw
chorus of all rich colors. Statues cucir-*i
cling the pillars and encircling all.
Statues above statues, until sculpture
can do no more, but faints and falls
back against carvj'd stalls and down
on pavements over which the kings
and queens of the era*th have'waited
to confessional. Nave and aisles and
transent and nortals combining the
splendors of sunrise and sunset. -Interlaced,
interfoliatcd, intercolumned
grandeur. As I steed outside, looking at
the double range of flying buttresses and
the forest of pinnacles, higher and higher
and higher, until I almost reeled from
dizziness, I exclaimed: "Great doxology
in stone! Frozen prayer of many nations!"
But while standing there I saw a poor
man enter and put down his pack and
kneel beside bis burden on the hard
floor of that cathedral. And tears of
deep emotion came into my eyes, as I
said to myself: "There is a soul worth
more than all the material surroundings.
That man will live after the last
pinnacle has fallen and not one stone
of all that cathedral glory shall remain
uncrumbled. lie is now a Lazarus in
rags and poverty and weariness, but immortal
and a sou of tbe Lord God Almighty,
and the prayer he now offers,
though amid many superstitions, I believe
God will hear, and among the
apostles whose sculptured forms stand
in the surrounding niches he will at
last be lifted, and into the presence cf
that Christ whose sufferings arej represented
by the crucifix before which he
hows, and be raised in due timeiout of
all his poverties into the glcriou.4 home
built for him and built for us 1V 'him
who maketh i he seven stars and Orion.':'

Some years ago walked along the
shaded streets of a prosperous ?Sew
England city, I saw a little incident
which has always remained as vivid
in my mind as on the day I witnessed
i it. A group of boys, averaging about
' a dozen years of age, were gathered
at the foot of one the great elmns,
when a lady passed, and in response
to her greeting one of the lads raised
i his cap from his head and answered,
? "Good evening."
' The lady had hardly turned the
corner before a storm of ridicule
broke from the little group. Apparently
the courtesy of lifting the bat
; I was not familiar in the town, and the
boys seemed to think the opportunity
of airing their wit at their companion
too tempting to be let pass. The
little fellow was a sear or twoyoung.

it was not surprising teat tue jesis
