TABERNACLE PULPIT. REV. DR. TALMAGE'SSERMON FOR ME MORIAL DAY. "I Will Say to the North, Give Up, and to the South. Keep Not Back"-Isalah xliii, 6, the Text-A Notable Discourse. BROOKLYN, May 31.-Yesterday hav ing been observed as Decoration Day, Dr. Talmage this morning preached an appropriate sermon. It was a novel and unprecedented service, as in different parts of the audience were many of those who had belonged to both Federal and Confederate armies, the subject having been previously announced, namely. "Two Garlands for Northern and South ern Grayes." Over the pulpit were two wreaths of beautiful flowers, and they were linked together, so that they were an object lesson for the subject present ed. Text: Isalah xliii, G-"I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back." Just what my text meant by the north and south I cannot say, but in the United States the two words are so point blank in their meaning that no one can doubt. They mean more than east and west, for although between those last two there have been rivalries and disturbing ambi tions and infelicities and silver bills and World's fair controversies, there have been between them no batteries unlim bered, no intrenchments dug, no long lines of sepulchral mounds thrown up. It has never been Massachusetts Four teenth regiment against Wisconsin zonaves; it has never been Virginia irtillery against Mississippi rifles. East and west are distInct words, and sometimes may mean diversity of in terest, but there is no blood on them, They can be pronounced without any in tonation of welling and death groan. But the north and the south are words that have been surcharged with tragedies. They are words which suggest that for forty years the clouds had been gather ing for a four years' tempest, which thirty years ago burst in a fury that shook this planet as it has never been shaken since it swung out at the first world building. I thank Gcd that the words have lost sonie of the intensity which they possessed three decades ago; that a vast multitude of northern people have moved south. and a vast multitude of southern people 'have moved north, and there have been intermerriages by the ten thousand, and northern colonels have married the daughters of southern captains, and Texas rangers have un-ed ior life with the daughters of.New York abolitionists, and their children are half northern and half southern and altogeth er patriotic. But north and south are words that need to be brought into still closer har monization. I thought that now, when we are half way between presidential elections, and sectional animosities are at the lowest ebb; and now, just after a presidential journey, when our chief magistrate, who was chiefly elected by the north, has been cordially received at the south; and now, just after two Me morial Days, one ofttem a month ago, strewing flowers on southern graves, and ,th other yesterday, strewing flowers on northers graves, it might be appro priate and useful for me to preach a ser mon which would twist two garlands, one for the northern dead and the other for the southern dead, and have the two interlocked in a chain of flowes that shall bind forever the two sections into one; and who knows but that this may be the day when the prophecy of the text made in ~regard to the ancients may be fulfill in regard to this country, and the north give up its prejudices and the so'th keep not back its confidence? "I will say to the north, Give up, and to llie south, Keep not back." GA RLAwDS ON LIVING BROWS. But before Iput these garlands on the paves I mean to put them this morning ajittle while on the brows of the living maid -women of the north and south who losthusbands and sons and brothers during the civil strife. There is nothing more soothing to a wound than a cool bndage, and these two garlands are coolfrom the night dew. What a morn ing that was on the banks of the Hud ~son and the Savannnh when the son was to start for the war! What fatherly aad motherly counsel! What tears! What heartbreaks! What charges to write orne often! What little keepsakes put away in the knapsack, or the bundle thagwas to be exchanged for the knap sack? TFhe cr-owd around the depot or 'b isteara.boat landing shouted, but tierand mother and sisters cried. And how lonely the house seemed af t they went home, and what an awful ly vacant chair there was at the Christ mas and Thanksgiving table! And af ter the battle, what waiting for news! What suspense till the long lists of the killed and wounded were made out! All along the Penobscot, and the Connecti cutand the St. Lawrence, and the Ohio and the Oregon, and the James, and the ~Albemarle, and the Alab.ima, and the Misippi, and the Sacramento there were lamentation and mourning and great woe, Rachel weeping for her chii ren, and refusing to be comforted be eanse they were .not. The world has f)orgttrit, but father and mother have not forgotten it. They may be now in the eighties or the ninetes, but it is a fresh wound, and will always remain a fresh wound. Cominst down the steep of years the hands that would have steadied those toering steps have been twensy-eight years -folded into the last sleep. The childihness, the widowhood, the or phanage, who has a measuring line long enough to tell the height of it, the depth of it, the infinity of it? What a mountain, what an Alps, what a Hiaia aa-of piled up agony of bereavement in the simple statement that three hun dred thousand men of the north were slain and five hundred thousand men of the south were slai, and hundreds of thousands long afterward, through the exhaustlons there suffered, going down to death! UNPROTECTED CHILDREN. I detain from the top of the tomb these two garlands that I am twisting for a little while that I may with thema soothe the brow of the living. Over the fallen the people said: 'Poor fellow! What a pity-that he should have been struck down!" We did not, however, often enough say 'Poor father! Poor mother! Poor wifet Poor child!" and so I say it now. Have you realized that by that wholesale massacre hundreds of thous ands of young people at the north and the south have never had any chance? We who are fathers stand between our children and the world. We fight their battles, we plan for their welfare, we give them the advice of superior years. Among the richest blessings of my life I thank God that my father lived to fight my battles until I was old enough to fight for myself. Have you realized the fact that our cvi war pitched out upon the farm fields of the north and the plantations of the south a multitude that no m on can number, children without fathe-rly help and protection? Under all the ad vantages which we had of fatherly guid dance, what a struggcle life has been to the most of us! But what of the chil dren. two and five and ten years of age, who stood at their mother's lap with great, round, wondering eyes, hearmng her read of those who perished in the Battle of the Wilderness, their fathers gone down amoag ti e dead hostrcome, young men and women, who by such disaster have had to make your own on yvur ouug and u-1wrinkled brow. Yes; you have had your own Malvern 4 Hill. and your own South Mountain, and I your own Gettysburg all along these twenty years. Come! And, if I can not spare a whole -arlaud for your brow, I will twist in your locks at least two flowers, one crimson and one white, the crison for -the struggle of your life, which has almost amounted to carnage, and the white for the victory you have gained. FOR LiVING SOLDIERS. Before I put the two garlands I am twistiniu upon the northern and south- 1 ern tomibs, I detain the earlands a little while that I may put them upon the brow of the living soldiers and sailors of the north and south, who, though at variance for a long while, are now at peace and in hearty loyalty to the United States government, and ready, if need be, to march shoulder to shoulder against any foreign foe. The twenty six winters that have passed since the war, I think, have sufficiently cooled the hatreds that once burned northward and south vard to allow the remark that they who fouaht in that conflict were honest on both sides. The chaplains on both armies were honest in their prayers. The faces that went into battle, whether they marched toward the Gulf of Mexico or marched toward the north star, were honest faces. It is too much to ask either side to be lieve that those who came out from their ho:nes, forsaki -g father and mother and wife and child, many of them never to return, were not in earnest when they put their life into awful exigency. Wit ness the last scene at fa uily prayers up among the Green mountains or down by the fields of cotton and sugar cane. Men do not sacrince their all for fun. Men do not eat moldy bread or go without bread at all for fun. Men do not sleep unsheltered in equinoctial storms for fun. There were some, no doubt. on both sides who enlisted for soldiers' pay, or expecting opportunity for violence and pillage, or burning with revenge and thirst f ir human blood, but such cases were so rare many of you who were in the war four years never confronted such an instance of depravity. When a New Orleans boy, unable i.o answer my question as to where he was hurt, took out from the folds of the only garment that had not been torn off him in the battle a New Testament, marked with his own life blood, and I saw the leat turned down at the passage, "My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth give I unto you," it read just as though it had been a northern New Tes tament. And when I sat down and took from a South Carolinian dying in a barn at Boonesville his last message to his wife and mother and child, it sound ed just like a message that a northern man dying far from home would send to his wife and mother and child. And when I picked up from the battle field of Antietam the fragment of a letter which I have somewhere yet, for the name and the address were torn off. I saw it was the words of a wife to her husband telling him how the little child prayed for their father every night that he might not get hurt in the battle and might come home sound and come home well, but that if anything happened to them they might all meet again in the world where there are no partings, it iead just as a northern wife would write to a husband away from home and in peril conveying the messages of little children. Oh, yes; they were honest I on ooth sides. And those who lived to 3 get home and are living yet were just as honest, and ought they not for the suf fering they endured have a coronal of some kind? -COURAGE ON BoTH SIDES. 1 Yea, there was courage on both sides.i They who were at the front know that.1 When the war opened the south called the northern men "mudsills" and the< north called the southern men "brag garts" and "pompous nothings," but] after a tew battles nothing'more was1 said about northern "mudsills" and southern "braggarts." It was an army of lions against an army of lions. It was a flock of eagles mid-sky with iron beaki against another flock of eagles iron beak ed. it was thunderbolt against then- 1 derbolt. It was archangel ot wrath against archangel of wrath. It was Han- < cock against Longstreet. .It was Kil patrick against Wade Hampton. It was Slocum against Hill. It was 0. 0. Huward against Hood. It was Sher-1 man against Stonewall Jackson. It was Grant against Lee, and the men who1 were under them were just as zalant. and some of them are het e, and I detain 1 the two garlands that I have twisted for the departed, and in recognition of hon esty and prowess put the coronals upon these living Federals and Confederates. North and south, we will make a great I fuss about thr.? when they are dead. There will not be room on their tomb- 1 stones to tell how much we appreciate 1 them. We shall call out the military I and explode three volleys over their graves, miking all the cemetery ring: under our command of "Fire!" We will have long obituaries in newspapers telling mn what battles they fought, what sacriices they endured. what flags they captured, in what prisons they suffered, but all that will come too late. One word in the living ear of praise for their honesty and courage will be worth to them more than a military funeral two miles long, or a pile of flowers haif a mile hih, and ten bands of music playing ovr the grave "Star Spangled Banner" or "'Way Down South in Dixie." .Now, while they are in their declining years, and their right knee refuses to wrk because of the rheumatism they got sleeping on the wet ground on tbe banks otf the Chickamauga, or their di-4 gestive organs are oil on furlough be cause of the six months of prison life m which their rations were big slices of nothing, and their ears have never been alert since the cannonade mn which they heard so much they have been able to hear but little since-In these cases I call upion the people of north and south to substitute a little ante mortem praise for the good deal of ta post-mortem eulogium. These two o garlands that I twisted for north-~ ern an d southern graves shall not be put j upon the grass of the tomb until they have first encircled the foreheads of the living. I will let the front of the wreath 4 come down over the scar of a scalp wound made by the sword of a cavalry man at Atlanta, and droop a little over the eye that lost its luster in the mine explosion at Fetersburg. IHuzza for the ~ living! Calia lilies and camnellias and amaranths and palm branches for the hiving. THLE DEAD KNOW. But we must not detain the two gar lands any longer from the pillows of those who for a quarter of a century have been prostrate in dreamless slum ber, never oppressed by summer sheat or chilled by winter's cold. Both gar lands are fragrant. Both have in them the sunshine and the shower of this springtime. The colors of both were mixed by him who mixed the blue of the sky, and the gold of the sunset, and the green of the grass, and the whiteness o the snow crystal. And I do not careI which you put over the northern grave and which over the southern grave. Dces any one say, "What is ;.he use? None of them will know it. Your De coration Days both sides Mason and Dixon's line are a great waste of flow ers." Ah! 1 see you have carried too far my idea that praise for the livmng isa bette.r than praise for the departed. Who says that the dead do not know of the flowers? I think they do. The dead are not dead. The body sleeps but .w) cities on eart t art iu such rapid at ,onstant communication as earth at ieaven, and the two great Decoratic Da s of north and south are better know u realms celestial than terrestria With what interest we visit the pace < sur 'irth and of our boyhood or girlhoc lavs! And have the departed no inte :est in this world where they were box md ransomed, and where they suire-c md triumphed? My Bible does n< positively say so, nor does my catechisi each it. but my common sense declar t. The departed do know, and tt annered procession that marched tI earth yesterday to northern graves, at he bannered procession that marche a month ago to southern graves. wel ccompaied by two grander though ix visible processions that walked the air processions of the ascended, processiot :f the martyred, processions of t]: ainted-and they heard the anthems, the churches, and the salvo ot the ba eries, and they stooped down 1 breathe the incense of the flowers. These august throngs gathered th morning in these pews and aisles at :rridors and galleries are insigmfical :ompared with the mightier thronzs eaven who mingle in this service wni< we render to God and our country whi we twist the two garlands. Hail spiri multitudinous! Hail spirits blest! HE martyred ones comes down from tI King's palaces! How glad are we th you have come back again! Take t kiss of welcome and these garlands reminiscence, ye who languished in ho pitals or went down under the thunde and the lightnings of Fredericksburg at Cold Harbor and Murfreesboro at Corvinth and Yorktown and above ti louds on Lookout Mountain. A UNIQUE SERVICE. Among the thousands of gatherin; at the north and at the south for Dec ration Days I am conscious that this se vice is unique, and that it is the only oi in which there has been twisted two go lands, one for the grave of the northei ead and the other for the grave of t] southern dead. 0 Lord God ofthe Awe ican Union, is it time that we bury fo ever our old grudges? My! My! C we not be at peace on earth when th moment in heaven dwell, in perfect lov Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Le William T. Sherman and Stonewall Jac! son, and tens of thousands of northei nd southern men who, though thi mnce looked askance at each other fro the opposite banks of the Potomac at the Chickahommy and the James at the Tennessee, now are on the saa ide of the river, keeping jubilee wil some of those old angels who near nin een centuries ago came down one Chris mas night to chant over Bethlehet "Glory to God In the highest; on ear1 peace, good will to men!" I have been waiting for some yea or some one else to twist the two ga ands that I today twist, but, no one d, ng it, in the love of God and my cout Lry I put now my band to the work, at 2ext sprinz about this time, if I am li ng and well, I will twist two more ga ands for northern and southern grave mnd every sprmnagtime until some man < woman whom Ifmay have cheered a li tle in the struggle of this life shall con Dut and put-a pansy or two on my ou grave. But if the time should ever con when this land shall be given over 1 ectional rancor and demagogism, at iorth and south, or east and west sha orget what the good God built this n ion for, and it shall halt on its high c eer of riahteousDess and liberty at eace, and become the agent of tyrant ind wrong and %oppression, then let son foung man whom I have baptized facy at these altars go out to Greel vood and scoop up my dust and scatte t to the four winds of heaven, for Ic mot want to sleep, and I will not slee n a land accursed with sectionalism < >ppression. And now I hand over the two ga ands, both of which are wet with mat :ears-tears of widowhood and orphau Lge and childlessness, tears of sud'erit td tears of gratitude; and as the cera nony must be performed in symbo here not being enough flowers to covi lU the graves, take the one garlandi he tomb of some northern soldier wi nay yesterday have been omitted in ti listribution of the sacrament of flower td the other garland to the tomb iome southern soldier who may a moni go have been omitted in the distrib1 .ion or the sacrament of the flowers, at ut both the wreaths gently down ovi ihe hearts that have ceased to bea sod bless the two garlands! God sai lie United States of America! Fatal Fail from a Bridge.
