TALMAGE SHOWS HOW A K'NG WAS HUMILIATED. . ^ He Uses a Weird and stranjfe Scene to j Enforco a Useful Lesson?The' Desecration of Sncred Things?Use of the Sabf*th* C -"Washington-, Feb. 11.?Dr. Talmage p In this sermon nses a weird and strange i-. scene'of ancient times to illustrate the behavior of modern people who desecrate sacred things, and for their arrogance get a bad tnmble. His subject was ' 'A King Eating Grass" and the text Daniel iv, 38, "The same hour was the ^ - thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from me J, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair-} were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws." Better shade your eyes lest they be put out with the splendor of Babylon, as some morning you walk out with JNebucnaauezzar on ice su?ji?ifjuu bridges which hang from the house tops ^ and he shows you the vastness of his realm. As the sun kindles the domes with glisteriugs almost insufferable and the great streets thunder up their pomp into the ear of the monarch, and armed towers stand around, adorned with the spoils of conquered empires, Nebuchadnezzar waves his hand above the stupendous scene and exclaims, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?" Put in an instant all that splendor is gone from his vision, for a voice falls from ti e heaven, saying: "O King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is % spoken. The kingdom is departed from thee, and they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall mak) thee to cat grass as oxen and seven I years shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men andgiveui it towhom soever he will." One hour from the tipae that he made the toast he is on the way to the fields, a maniac, and, rush' ing into the forests, he becomes one of the beasts, covered with eagles' feathers for protection from the cold, and his nails growing to birds' claws in order that he might dig the earth for roots and climb the trees for nuts. On the Road to Babylon. You see there is a great variety in the Scriptural landscape. In several disB ^gjSgfi&g.we toftY9-Ji>oked at mountains of Mmiii > e?cellence, "txnt now we look down iito . a great, dark chasm of wickedness as we [ come to speak of Nebuchadnezzar. God t in his Word sets before us rhe beauty of | self denial, of sobriety, of devotion, of courage, and then, lest we should not k thoroughly understand him, he intro- I duced Daniel and Paul and Deborah as illustrations of those virtues.

The former style of character is a lighthouse, showing us a way into a safe harbor, and the latter style of character is a black buoy, swinging on the recks, to show where vessels wreck themselves. Thanks unto Gcd f for both the buoy and the lighthouse! The host of Nebuchadnezzar is thundering at the gates of Jerusalem. The ' ^ crown of that sacred city is struck into the dust by the hand of Babylonish in- i solence. The vessels of the temple, j r which had never been desecrated by pro- ; fane touch, were ruthlessly seized for sacrilege and transportation. Oh, what fe_-_ a sad hour when those Jews, at the ! command of the invading army, are | obliged to leave the home of their nativity? How their hearts must have been wrung with anguish when, on the ^ , day they departed, they heard the trr.ni- i pets frcm the top of the temple announcing the hour for morning sacrifice ; W and saw the smoke of the altars ascend- j ing around the holy hill of Zion; for ! well they knew that in a far distant { land they would never hear that trumpet j call nor behold the majestic ascent 01 the sacrifice! Behold these captives on Tr\ s the road from Jerusalem to Babylon! Worn and weary, they dare not halt, j for roundabout are armed men urging | them on with hcot and shout and bias- j phemy. Aged men tottered along on their j staves, weeping that they could not lay their bones in the sleeping place of their fathers and children, wondered at j|I the length of the way and sobbed themW selves to sleep when the night had fallSi en. It seemed as if at every step a heart K broke. But at a turn of the road BabyBlL - _lcn suddwly-pprings upon the view of ^_ the captive?, with it> gardens and palaces. A shout goes up from the army as I they behold their native city, but liot j not one huzza is heard from the eaptives. These exiles saw no splendor k.^ there, for it was not home. The Kuphrates did not have the water gleam of the brook Kedron or the pool of Siloam. The willows of Babylon, on which they hung their untuned harps, were not as graceful as the trees which at the foot jVV ^ of Mount Moriah seemed to weep at the departed glory of Judab, and all the fragrance that descended from the hang- j B#' iDg gardens lipon that great city was i not so sweet as one breath of the acacia j and frankincense tliat the high priest j ^ - kiudled in the sanctuary at Jerusalem. On a certain night, a little while after i J? ^ these captives had been brought to his ; ? city, Nebuchadnezzar is scared with a j night vision. A bad man's pillow is apt ! to be stuffed with deeds and forebodings j Y"which keep talking in the night. lie j will find that the eagles' down in his j pillow will stick him like porcupine { f quills. The ghosts of old transgressions j f V are sure to wander about in the dark- j ness and beckon and hiss. Yet when j the morning came he found that the ! vision had entirely fled from him. j Dreams drop no anchors, and therefore are apt to sail away before we can fasten fiL ? ** them. Nebuchadnezzar calls all the wise men cf the land into his presence, de* manding that by their necromancy they explain his dream. They of course fail. Then their wrathful king issues an edict with as little s?; nse as mercy, ordering the slayidfc of all the learned men of the country. But Daniel the * prophet come&pi with the lnterrreta. h n just in time to save the wise men and the Jewish captives. Pride and Ituin. My friends, do you not see that pride and ruin ride in the same saddle? Sto Nebuchadnezzar on the proudest throne of all the earth, and then see him graze with the sheep and the cattle! Pride is commander, well plumed and caparisoned,. but it leads forth a dark and frowning host. The arrows from the Almighty's quiver aie apt to strike a man when on the wing, (toliath shakes his great spear in defiance, but the smooth stones from the brook make him stagger and fall like an ox under a butcher's bludgeon. He who is flown cannot fall. Vessels scudding under bare pohs do not feel the force of the storm, while those with all sails svt capsize at the sudden descent of the tempest. Remcmljer that we can Leas proud of our humility as of anything else. Antisthenes walked the streets of Athens with a ragged cloak to demonstrate his humility, but Socrates declared hee< n!d see the hypocrisy through the hobv: in his cloak. Wo would all see oursclv< s smaller than we are if we wire as philosophic as Governs, the emperor of Koine, who said at the close of his life, "I have he* 11 everything and everything is nothing." And when the urn that was to contain his ashes was at his command brought to him he said, "Little urn, thou shalt contain one for whom the world was too little. " Do you not also learn from thrt misfortune of this king <>f Babylon what a terrible thing is the loss of reason? There is 110 calamity that can possibly befall us in this world so great as derangement of intolhct; to have the body of man and yet to fall even below the instinct of a brute. In this world of horrible sights, the most horrible is the idiot's stare. In this world of horrible sounds, the most horrible is the maniac's laugh. A vessel driven cu the1 rocks, when hundreds go down never to rise and other hundreds drag their mangled and shivering bodies upon the winter's beach, is nothing compared to the foun1 ^ 11 Vint llADPQ acnng in imaiviin uui v* ?.. rvw and attainments and capacities. Christ's heart went out toward those who were epileptic, falling into the fire, or maniacs cutting themselves among the tombs. We are accustomed to be more grateful for physical health than for the proper working of our mind. We are apt to take it for granted that the intellect which has served us so well will always be faithful. We forget that an cngiue of such tremendous power, where the wheels have such vastness of circle and such swiftness of motion, and the least impediment might put it out of gear, can only be kept in proper balance by a divine hand. No human hand could engineer the train of immortal faculties. How strange it is that our memory, on whose shoulders all the misfortunes and successes and recurrences of a lifetime are placed, should not ofteuer break down, and that the scales of judgment, which have been weighing so much and so long, should not lose their adjustment, and that fancy, which holds a dangerous wand, should not sometimes maliciously wave it, bringing into the heart forcl < dings and hallucinations the most appalling! Is it not strange that this mind, which hopes so much in its mighty leaps for the attainment of its objects, should not be dashed to pieces on its disappointments? Though so delicately tuned, this instrument of untold harmony plays on, though fear shakes it and vexations rack it and sorrow and joy and less and gain in quick succession beat out of it their dirge cr toss from it their anthem. At morning and at night, when prayer ycta rehearse The causes thanksgiving, next to the salvation by Jesus Christ,, praise the Lord for the preservation of your reason. lie Served a Purpose. See also in this story of Nebuchadnezzar the use that God makes of bad men. The actions of the wicked are used as instruments for the punishment of wickedness in others or as the illustration of some principle in the divine government. Nebuchadnezzar subserved Ixji li purposes. Even so I will go back with you to the history of every r< probate that the world has ever seen, and I will show you how to a great extent his wickedness was limited in its destructive power and how God glorilicd himself in the overthrow and disgrace of his enemy. Babylon is full of abomination, and wicked Cyrus destroys it. Persia tills the cup of its iniquity, and vile Alexander puts an end to it. Macedon must be chastised, and bloody Emilius does it. The Bastille is to he destroyed, and corrupt Napoleon accomplishes it. Even so selfish and "wicked men arc often made to accomplish great and glorious purposes. Joseph's brethren were guilty of superlative perfidy and meanness when they sold him into slavery for about ?7, yet how they must have been overwhelmed with the truth that God never forsakes the righteous when they saw he had become the prime minister of Egypt! Pharaoh oppresses the Israelites with the most diabolic tyranny; yet stand still and seethe salvation of God. The plagues descend, the locusts, and the hail, and the destroying angel, showing that there is a God who will defend the cause of his people, and finally, after the Israelites have passed through the parted sea, behold, in the wreck of the drowned army, that God's enemies are chaff in a whirlwind! In some financial panic the righteous suffered with the wicked. Houses and stores and shops in a night foundered on the rock of bankruptcy, and healthy credit without warning dropped dead in the street, and money ran up the long ladder of 25 per cent to laugh down upon those who could not climb after it. Dealers with pockets full of securities stood shouting in the deaf ears of banks. Men rushed down the streets with protested notes after them. Those who before found it hard to spend their money were left without money to spend. Laborers went home for want of work, to see hunger in their chair at the table and upon the hearth. Winter blew his Dream 01 irosi miongn i;jig?usui mao, aud sheriffs with attachments dug among the cinders of fallen storehouses, and whole cities joined in the long funeral procession, marching to the grave of dead fortunes and a fallen commerce. Verily the righteous suffered with the wicked, but gene-rally the wicked had the worst cf it. Splendid estates that had come together through schemes of wickedness were dashed to pieces like a potter's vessel, and God wrote- with letters cf lire, amid the ruin and destruction of reputations and estates that we re thought impregnable, the old fashioned truth, which ccnturhs ago he wrote in his Bible, "The way of the wicked he turmth upside down.

Sennacherib and Abimelech and Herod and Judas and Nero and Nebuchadnezzar, though they struggled like beasts unbroken to the load, were put into a yoke, where they were compelled to help draw ahead (Jed's great projects cf mercy. Again, let us learn the lesson that men can be guilty of polluting the sacred vessels of the temple and carrying them away to Babylon. The sacred vessels in the temple at Jerusalem were tlie cups and plates of gold and silver with which the rites and cert monies were celebrated. The laying of heathen hands upon them and the carrying them off as spoils \v( re an unbounded offense to the Lord of the temple. Yet Nebuchadnezzar committed this very sacrilege. Though that wicked king is gone, the sins he inaugurated walk up and down the earth, cursing it from century to century. The sin of desecrating sacred things is committed by those who on sacramental day take the communion cup, while their conversation and deeds all show that they live down in Babylon. How solemn is the sacrament! It is a time for vows, a time for repentance, a time for faith. Sinai stands near with its fire split clouds and Calvary with its victim. The Holy Spirit broods over the m A^pj?NiMhi*^ory heaven seems to gather in the sanctuary. Vile indeed must that man be who will come in fnllipQ tn iitili 11XO lUV'ir, tuiu ui 1AV ai tv Vft av?a?vw ?v take hold of the sacred vessels of the temple. 0 thou Nebuchadnezzar! Back with you to Babylon! The Holy Day. Those also desecrate sacred things who use the Sabbath for any other than religious purposes. This holy day was let down from heaven amid the intense secularises of the week to remind us that wo are immortal and to allow us preparation for an endless state of happiness. It is a green spot in the hot desert of this world that gushes with fountains and waves with palm trees. This is the time to shake the dust from the robes of our piety and in the tents of Israel sharpen our swords for future conflict. Heaven, that seems so far off on other days, alights upon the earth, and the song of heavenly choirs and the hosanna of the white robed seem to mingle with our (arthly worship. We hear the />^ RotMolrnm fttul flip Wcllllll^; lliiclllb ^vuuvmui, ??iv hammer stroke of the carpenter's weary son in Nazareth, and the prayer of Gethsemane, and the bitter cry of Golgotha. Glory be unto the Lord of the Sabbath! With that one day in seven God divides this great sea of business and gaycty, that so, dry shod, we may pass between the worldly business of the past and the worldly business of the future! But to many the Sabbath comes only as a day for neighborhood visiting, field { rambling, hotel lounging and political j caucusing. This glorious Sabbath, which | was intended only as a golden chalice j from which the thirsty should drink, is j this moment being carried down tc Babylon. I do not exaggerate the truth when I say that to tens of thousands there is no distinction between the Sabbath and the weekdays except that on the Lord's day they do net work, while they eat more largely and dissipate more thoroughly. Sabbath breakers are like hunters who should compel their hounds to take rest while themselves continue on the weary chase, for men 011 the Sabbatli allow their bodies, which are merely the animal nature, sufficient repose, while their immortal nature, which should be fed and refreshed, is compelled to c hase up and down this world's highway. How shameful to rob God of his day, when he allows men so much lawful acquisition, eve 11 of a worldly 11a ture, 011 the Sabbatli, for, although men themselves are commanded to rest, ihc corn and the whe at and the grass grow | just as rapidly on the Sabbath as ou | other days, so that while they sit in the j sanctuary they are actually becoming I richer in worldly things. While you an doing nothing your bonds and mortgages i are all accumulating interest for youi J estate just as fast as on other days. Men i hired by the month or year are receiv| ing just as much wages while quiet on j the Sabbath as they are the hard work; ing weekday. No. I say how unntteraj bly mean it is, when God is adding tc j your worldly estate on the Sabbath as eer! lainly as on other days, that any should | not be satisfied with that, but attempt j to seize additional secular advantage i from the Lord's day. Have you nevei ! noticed the curious fact that our worldj ly occupation frequently seems to be tliI vided into sections of six days each? Every week we have just enough i work giv< 11 us to do in six days. God . makes just enough breaks in our contini uous occupations to thrust in the Sabbath. If your have not 1 it-fore noticed, observe hereafter that when Saturday night comes there is almost always a good stopping place in your business. All things secular and spiritual inprov! idenoo and revelation seem to say, "Ro| iiKinber tbe Sabbath day to keep it holy.*' When the six days of creation | had passed, God stopped working. Not even a pure flower or a white cloud I would he make, because it was the Sab I ! bat 11, ami, giviiig an example to~a 11 ^Q- } ture times, lie rested. Ktep the Sabbath. ; He who breaks the Sabhatli not mort; Certainly robs God tlian tobs himself. Inevitably continuous desecration of * ; the sacred day ends either in br.nkrujTjey j j or destroyed health. A^'great merchant j said, "Had it not been for the Sabbath I j I have no doubt I should have bcilba , j maniac long ago." This remark was i made in a company of merchants ^nd ] one of them said: "That corr< speAis , with the experience of my fri< n?a great importer. He often said, 'The iSb- < Lath is the best day of the week to j&ni successful voyages.' He has for }hS been in an insane hospital, and "mil probably die there." "f Th<Y) also repeat the sin of Nebuchadnezzar who in any way desecrate the Holy Scriptures. There are men wlio use the Word of God as an instrument 1 of angiy controversy. Bigots at heart and zealots, in the advocacy of their religious peculiarities they meet other sects with the fury of a highwaynim. thrusting them through and through with v> hat they consider the sword of the spirit. It is a wonder to me that seme < men were not made with horns to l^ok with and hoofs to kick with and with I claws to irrab with. What Christ said to ; rash Peter, when lio struck off the car of Maid.us, lie gars to every controicrsialist, "Put up again thy i>rtuia*.te j it* place, f< r all they that, take^rhe 'N I stforrt glial 1 perish with the sword.'t Kev. William Jay met a countryjf^n who said to him: "I was cxtrqgHy ' alarmed this morning, sir. It wastry 1 foggy and I was going clown to a lo?ly place, and I thought I saw a strffee monster. It seemed in motion, bfct I could not discern its form. I didjfiot like to turn back, but my heart btat, and the m< to I loc ked the more I was afraid. But as I approached I saw it was a man, and who do you think it was?" "I know not." "Oh, itwastay brother John." Then Mr. Jay remarked, "It was early in the mcming and very foggy, and how often do we thus mistake our Christian brethren." Just in proportion as men arc wijing will they be boisterous in their religious contentions. The lamb of religion is always gentle, while there is no lioq tfo fierce as the rearing lion that goes atfbut seeking whom he may devour; J>t Gibraltars belch their war flame cm-thc sea, and the Dardanelles darken the Hellespont with the smoke of their batteries, hut forever and ever let there be goodwill among these who profess to bo subjects of the gospel of gentleness. "Glory to God in the highest, and, on earth peace, good will to men." What an embarrassing thing to meet iii heaven if we have not settled"bur controversies 011 e arth. So I give cut jfor all people of all religions to sing Jehu Fawcet's hymn, in short meter, composed in 1772, but just as appropriate for 1897: Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds Jt Is like to that above. From sorrow, toil and pain And sin we shall be free, And perfect love andAfriendship refcn Through all eternity.
