TALMAGE TALKS ON THE DANGER OF HAVING TOO MUCH. The Symbol of the Giant?He In Not Always the Strong Man?The Kv- ; ~ *** 1- i eryday .Man won mc u???, Woary of tieleas Addenda. y yop> right. 1S9S, by American Press Association.] Washington, Sept. 25.?From a ; passage of Scripture that probably no other clergyman ever preached from Rev. Dr. Talmage in this discourse sets i forth a truth very appropriate for those who have unhealthy ambition for great wealth or fame. The text is I Chron. xx, 6, 7: "A man of great ststnre, whose fin- i gers and toes were four and twenty, six j on each hand and six on each foot, and he also was the son of a giant. Bnt, when he defied Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea. David's brother, slew him." Malformation photographed, and for ! what reason? Did not this passage slip by mistake into the sacred Scriptures, as sometimes a paragraph utterly obnoxious to the editor gets into his newspaper during his absence? Is not this Scriptural errata? No. no; there is nothing haphazard about the Bible. This passage of Scripture was as certainly intended to be put in the Bible as the verso, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," or, "God so loved the world that he gave bis only i begotten Son." And 1 select it for my text today because it is charged with practical and tremendous meaning. By the people of Godtbo Philistines bad been conquered, with the exception of a few giants. The j race of giants is mostly extinct, I am : glad to say There is no use for giaDts i now except to enlarge the income of % gsuseuine. But there were many of them in olden times. Goliath was. according to the Bible, 11 feet 4% inches high, or. if yon doubt this, the famous Pliny declares that at Crete, by au earthquake, a monument was broken open, discovering the remains of a giant 46 cubits Jong, cr 69 feet high. So, whether you take sacred or profane history, yon must come to the conclusion that there were in those times cases of human altitude monstrous and appalling. The Giant In History. David had smashed the skull of one of these giants, but there were ether ; giants that the Davideaa wars had not yet subdued, and one of them stands in my text He was not only of Alpine stature, but had a surplus of digita i To the ordinary fingers was annexed an ' additional finger, and the foot had also j a superfluous addendum. He bad 24 ; terminations to bands and feet, where j others have 20 It was not the only in- j stanco of the kind. Tavernier, the j learned writer, says that the emperor of Java had a son endowed with the same number of extremities. Volcatius, the poet, had fingers on each hand. JAIanpertnis, in his celebrated letters, speaks of two families near Berlin similarly equipped of hand and foot. All of which 1 can believe, for I have seen two cases of the same physical superabundance. But this giant of the text is in battle, and as David, the stripling warrior, had dispatched one giant the nephew of David slays this monster of my text, and there he lies after the battle in Gath, a dead giant. His stature did nnt. Kjivft him. and his suDerflnous appendices of hand and foot did not save him The probability was that in the battle bis sixth finger on his hand made ' him'clumsy in the use of his weapon and his sixth toe crippled his gait. Behold tho prostrate and malformed giant of the text: "A man of great statnre, \ whose fingers and toes were four and J twenty, six on each band aafd six on ! each foot, and he also was the son of a i i giant But when he defied Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shiinea, David's broth- ! ? er, slew him." The Common Mnn. Behold how superfluities are a bin- ; drance rather than a help! In all the i battle at Gath that day there was not a ; man with ordinary hand and ordinary : foot and ordinary stature that was not I better off thau this physical curiosity of i my text A dwarf on the right side is stronger than a giant on the wrong side, : and all the body and mind and estate and opportunity that you cannot use for God and the betterment of the world is a sixth fiuger and a sixth toe, and a terrible hindrance. The most of the good j done in the world and the most of those ; who win the battles for the right are ; ordinary people. Count the fingers of ; their right hand, and they have just i five?no more and no less. One Dr. Duff ; among missionaries, bnt 3,000 mission- j aries that would tell you they have i only common endowment. One Florence j .Nightingale to nurse the sick in con- j 6picuous places, but 10,000 women who are just as good nurses, though never ! heard of. The "Swamp Angel" was a j big gun that during the civil war made a big noise, bnt muskets of ordinary i caliber and shells of ordinary heft did j the execution.

The gunner touches it off, and it explodes (and leaves cabinet ministers dead on the deck, while at that time, all up and down our coasts, were cannon of ordinary here, able to be the defense of the nation, and ready at the first touch to ' waken to duty. The curse of the world is big guns. After the politicians, who have made all the noise, go home hoarse from angry discussion on the evening cf the first Monday iD November, the next day the people, with the silent ballots, will settle everything and settle it right, i 1,000,000 of the white slips of paper they drop making about as much noise as the fall of an apple blossom. Clear back in the country today there are mothers, in plain apron and shoes fashioned on a rough last by a shoemaker at the end of the lane, rocking babies that are to be the Martin Lnthers and the Faradays and the Edisons and the Bismarcks and the Gladstones and the Washiugtons and the George Whitefields of the future. Th<j longer I live the more 1 like common folks. They do tho world's work, bearing the * world's burdens, weeping the world's sympathies, carrying the world's consolation. Among lawyers we see rise up a Rnfns Choate or a William Wirt or a Samuel L. Southard, but society would go to pieces tomorrow if there were not thousands cf common lawyers to see that men and women get their rights. A Valentiue Mutt or a Willard Parker ! rises up eminent in the medical profession, but what an unlimited sweep would pneumonia and diphtheria and scarlet fever have, in the.world if it _ 11 BMBMOBMHMNIIMHBHmBRBBI were not for 10,000 common doctors! The old physician in his gig, driving up the lane of the farmhouse or riding on horseback, his medicines in the s: Idie bags, arriving on the ninth day of the fever and coming in to take hold of the pulse of the patient, while the family, pale with anxiety and looking on and waiting for his decision in regard to the patitnt and hearing him say, "Thank God, I have mastered the case; he is getting well!" excites in mo au admiration quite equal to the mention I of the names of the great metropolitan J doctors of the past or the illustrious liv- I iug men of the present. The Limit* of Wealth. Vet what do we see in all depart- j meuts? People not satisfied with ordi- j nary spheres of work and ordinary du- j ties. Instead of trying to see what tboy ' can do with a band of five fingers, they want six. Instead of usual endowment of 20 manual aud pedal addenda, they want 21. A certain amount of money I for livelihood and for the supply of those whom we leave behind us after j we have departed this life is important, j for we have the best authority for saying, "He that provideth not for his ! own, and especially those of his own j household, is worse than an infidel," j but the large and fabulous sums for ! which many struggle, if obtained, ' would be a hindrance rather than an j advautago. The an xieties and annoyances of those whose estates have become plethoric can only be told by those who possess them. It will be a good thing when through rr.nr indnstrv and nrosoerity you can j own the house in which yon live.. But suppose you own 50 houses and you have all those rents to collect and nil those tenants to please. Suppose yoa have branched out in business successes until in almost every direction you have investments. The fire bell rings at j night; you rush up stairs to look out of the window to see if it is any of yourrnills. Epidemic of crime comes, and there are embezzlements and absconding in all directions, and you wonder whether any of your bookkeepers will prove recreant. A panic strikes the financial world, and you are like a hen under a sky fall of bawks and trying with anxious cluck to get your own overgrown chickens safely under wing. After a certain stage of success has been reached you have to trust so many important things to others that you are apt to become the prey of others, and you are swTndled and defrauded, and the anxiety you had on your brow when you were earning your first $1,000 is not equal to the anxiety on your brow now that you have won yonr $300,000 Financial Obesity. The trouble with such a one is he is spread out like the unfortunate one in my test. You have more fingers and toes than you know what to do with. Twenty were useful; 24 area hindering superfluity. Disraeli says that a king of Poland abdicated his throne and joined the people aud became a porter to carry burdens. And some one asked him why he did so, and he replied: "Upon my honor, gentlemen, the load which I cast off was by far heavier than the one yon 6ee me carry The weightiest is but a straw when compared to that weight under which I labored. I have slept more in four nights than I have daring all my reign. I begin to live and to be a king myself. Elect whom yon choose. As for me, I am so well it wonld be madness to return to conrt." "Well," says somebody, "such overloaded persons onght to be pitied, for their worriments are real, and their i isomnia and their nervons prostration are genuine." I reply that they could get rid of the bothersome surplus by giving it away If a man has more houses than ho can carry without vexation, let him drop a few of them. If his estate is so great he cannot manage it without getting nervons dyspepsia from having too much, let him divide with those who have nervons dyspepsia because they cannot get enough. No; they guard their sixth linger with more care than they did the original five. They go limping with what they call gout and know not that, like the giant of my text, they are lamed by a superfluous toe. A few of them by charities bleed themselves of this financial obesity and monetary plethora, but many of them hang on to the hindering superfluity till death, aud then, as they are compelled to give the money np anyhow, in their last will and testament they generously give some of it to the Lord, expecting uo doubt that he will feel very * ?

Working under one of our patents, we have a monopoly which seems to me something wrong. Everybody has to come to us for it. and we are making money too fast." So they reduced the price, and this while our philanthropist was building Cooper institute, which mothers a hundred institutes of kindness and mercy all over the land. But the world had to wait o, S00 years for Peter Cooper! Deathbed Generonity. I am glad for the benevolent institutions that get a legacy from men who during their life were as stingy as death, but wbo iu their last will and testament bestowed money on hospitals and missionary societies, but for such testators I have no respect.

They lived in this { world r>0 or HO years in the presence of appalling suffering and want and made no efforts for their relief. The charities of such people are in tho "Paulo post future" tense. They are going to do them. Tho probability is that if such a one in his last will by a donation to benevolent societies tries to atone for his lifetime closefistedness the heirs at law will try to break the will by proving that the old man was senile or crazy, and the expense of the litigation will about leave in the lawyer's hands what - " ' n; i ? _ r\U | was meant lor ine rump s'x-jnv. cu, yu ! overweighted, successful business men, : whether this sermon reach your ear or j your eves, let me say that if yon are I prostrated with anxieties aU.ut keeping j or investing these tremendous fortunes I can tell you how you can do more to I get your health ba? k and your spirits j raised than by drinking gallons of bad | tasting water at Saratoga, Hon;burg or | Carlsbad. Give to God, humanity and the Bible 10 percent of all vour income, and it will make a new man of yon, and from restless walking of the floor at eight you shall have eight hours' sleep, without the help of broj niideof potassium, and from no appetite ! you will hardly be able to wait for your j regular meals, and your wan cheek will i 611 up. and when you die the blessings ! of those who but for yon would have 1 perished will blooru all over your grave. Perhaps gome of you will take this | advice, but the most of you will not, I and you will try to cure your swollen 1 band by getting on it more fingers aud ! your rheumatic foot by getting on it ! more toes, and there will be a sigh of j relief when you are gone out of the 1 world, and when over your remains the i minister recites the words, "Blessedare ! the dead who die in the Lord," persons j who have keen appreciation of the Jndicrous will hardly be able to keep tbeir ! faces straight. But, whether in that direction mv words do good or not, I am | anxions that all who have only ordinary I equipment be thankful for what they ' have and rightly employ it. I think y<">u | all have, figuratively as well as literally, fingers enough. Do not long for hindering superflniti.es. Standing in the presence of this falleu giant of my text and in this post mortem examination of him, let ns learn how much better off we are with just the usual hand, the usual foot. You have thanked God for a thousand things, but I warrant you never fbankedhiin for those two implements of work and locomotiou that no one but the infinite and omnipotent God could have ever planned or made?the baud and the foot. Only that soldier or that mechanic who in a battle or through machinery has lost them knows anything adequately about their value, and only the Christiau scientist can have any appreciation of what divine masterpieces they are. The Hand That Work*. Sir Charles Bell was so impressed with the wondrous construction of the j human hand that when the Earl of Bridge water gava .$40,000 for essays on the wisdom and goodness of God and eight books were written Sir Charles Bell wrote his entire book on the wisdom and goodness of God as displayed in the humau hand. The 2? bones in the hand and wrist with cartilages and ligaments aud phalanges of the fingers all made just ready to knit, to sew, to build up, to pull down, to weave, to write, to plow, to pound, to wheel, to battle, to give friendly salutation. The tips of its lingers are so many telegraph I offices by reason of their sensitiveness of touch. Tho bridges, the tnnucls, tho cities of the wholo earth, are the victories of the hand. The hands are not dumb, but often speak as distinctly as the lips. With our hands we invito, we | repel, we invoke, wo entreat, we wring them in grief, or clap them in joy, or | spread them abroad in benediction. Tho malformation of the giant's hand in the i text glorifies the usual hand. Fashioned of God more exquisitely and wondrousj Iv than any human mechanism that was j ever contrived, 1 charge you to use it j for God aud the lifting of the world out i of its moral predicament Employ it in ! the sublime work of gospel band shak ! ing. You can see the hand is just made j for that. Four fingers just set right to I touch your neighbor's hand on ouo side, j and your thnmbset so as to clinch it on the other side. By all its bones and joints and muscles and cartilages and | ligaments the voice of nature joins with ; the voice of God commanding you to j shake hands. The custom is as old as j the Bible anyhow. Jehu said to Jehoni adab: "Is thine heart right as my | heart is with thine heart? If it be, give I rue thine hand." When hands join in Christian salutation, a gospel electricity thrills across the palm from heart to I heart, and from the shoulder of one to i the shoulder ol the other. With the timid aud for their encourj ageruent, shake hands. With the tronj bled in warm hearted sympathy, shake ! bauds. With the young man just enteri ing business and discouraged at the | small sales and the large expenses, j shako hands. With the child who is j new from God and started on unending j journey, for which he needs to gather ! gr^at supply of strength and who can ! hardly reach up to you now because : yon are so much taller, shake hands, j Across cradles and dying beds and ! graves, shake hands. With your enej mies, who have done all to defame and i hurt you, bnt whom you can afford to ; forgive, shake hands. At the door of i the churches where people come in and j at the door of churches where people go ! out, shake hands. Lpt pulpit shake j hands with pew and Sabbath day shake I hands with weekday and earth shake bauds with heaven. Ob, the strange, j the mighty, the undefined, the mysi terious, the eternal power of an honest handshaking! The difference l>etween these times at. 1 the millennial times is j that now some shake hands, but then all will shake hands, throne and foot: stool, across seas, nation with nation, i God and nan. church militant and church triumphant. Th^ Horaau Foot. j Yea. the nial format ion of this fallen j giant's foot glorifies the ordinary foot, for which I fear you have never once i thanked God. The bones of the foot j are the admiration of the auatomjst. ! !>! 1 ? I I Ull?I The arch oT Hie Tent fu.-JIiionen vvTTh a j grace and a poise that Trajan's arch or Constantino's arch or any other arch could not equal. Those arches stand where they were planted, but this arch j of the foot is an adjustable arch, a J yielding arch, a flying arch and ready for movements innumerable. The human loot so fashioned as to enable a man to stand upright as no other creature and leave the hand that would _.i- t K?I., UUJtTWidli lia%U i? iiriji ill Uciirtuv. iug bodv free fur anything it chooses. The foot of the camel fashioned for the sand, the foot of the bird fashioned for tiie tree branch, the foot of the bind fashioned for tho slippery rock, the foot of the lion fashioned to rend its prey, tho foot of the horso fashioned for tho solid earth, but the loot of man made tocross the desert or climb tho tree or scale the cliff or walk the earth or- go anywhere he needs to go. With that divine triumph of anatomy in your possession where do you walk? In what path of righteousness or what path of sin have you set it down? Where have you left tho mark of your footsteps? Amid the petrifactions in the rocks have been found the mark of the feet of birds and beasts of thousands of years a^o. And God can trace out all the footsteps of your lifetime, and those you made 50 years ago are as plain as those made in the last soft weather, all of them petrified for the judgment day. Oh, the foot! Give me the autobiography of your foot from the time you stepped out of the cradle until today, and I will tell your exact character now and what are your prospects for the world to come. That there might be 110 doubt about tho fact that both these pieces of divine mechanism, hand and foot, belong to Christ's service both hands of Christ and both feet, of Christ wcro spiked on the cross. Right through the arch of both his feet to the hollow of his instep went the iron of torture, and from tbo palm cf his hand to the back of it, and there is not a muscle or nerve or bone among the 27 hones of hand and wrist or among the 26 bones of the foot but it belongs to him now and forever. The Bennty of Service. That is the most beautiful foot that goes about paths of greatest usefulness, and that the most beautiful hand that does the most to help others. I was reading of three women in rivalry about the appearance of the hand. And tbo one reddened her hand with berries and said the beautiful tinge made hers the most beautiful. And another put her band in the mountain brcok and said as the waters dripped off that her hand was the most beautiful. And another plucked flowers off the bank, and nuder the bloom contender! that her hand was the most attractive. Then a poor old woman appeared, and, looking up in her decrepitude, asked for alms. And a woman who had not taken part in the rivalry gave her alms. And all the women rosolved to leave to this beggar the question as to which of all tbohands present was the most attractive, and she said, "The most beautiful of them all is the one that gave relief to my necessities," and aa she so said her wrinkles and rags and her decrepitude and her body disappeared, and in place thereof stood the Christ, who long ago said, "Inasmuch as ye did it to one cf the least of these, ye did it unto me," and who to purchase the service of our hand and foot here on earth had his own hand and font lacerated. feWaij 51 has demonstrated ten thousand ^ ? times that it is almost infallible P I FOR WOMAN'S 1 I PECULIAR I I WEAKNESSES, I wj irregularities and derangements. 8 B It has become the leading remedy ?> jy for this class of troubles.
