DR. TALMAGE'S DI8COUR9E
On tho Importanoo of Prompt Aotion
in Anything We Have to Do
From a passago of Soripturo unob
served by most roadors Dr. Tolmago in
this diooouvso shows tho importanoo of
prompt aotion in anything wo havo to
do for ourselvos or others;'text, Eoolcsi
astos xi, 4, "Ho that obsorvoth tho
wind shall not sow."
What do you find in this paokod son
tonoo of Solomon's monologue ? 1 fiad
in it a farmor at his front door examin
ing tho woather. It is soodtimo. His
fiolds havo boon plowed and harrowed.
Tho wheat is in tho barn in oaoks, roady
to bo taken afield and soattorod. Now
is tho timo to sow. But tho wind is
not favorable.- It may blow tip a storm
boforotttight, and ho may got wot if ho
starts out for tho sowing; or it may bo
a long storm, that will wash out tho
seed from tho soil; or thoro may havo
boon a long drought, and tho wind may
oontinuo to blow dry woathor. Tho
parched fiolds may nottako in tho grain,
and tho birds may piok it up, and tho
labor as woll as tho soodmay ho was tod.
So ho gi von up the work for that day and
ftfxtkti infft 111 o l./\M"i v. ri .rr o ? ? a fr>. c n I
.-Vll\tA it will bo on tho morrow. On tho
morrow tho wind is still in tho wiong
dirootion, and for a wholo wook and for
a month. Did you ovor soe
such a loner spell of bad
woathor? Tho lothargio and ovor
oautious and dilatory agriculturist^ al
lows tho (lennon to puss without sawing,
and no sowing, of oourso, no harvest.
That is what Solomon means when ho
says in his toxi,, "Ho that observoth
tho wind shall not sow."
As muoh in our timo as in Solomonio
timos thcro is abroad a fatal hositanoy,
a disposition to let litt lo things stop us,
a ruinous adjournment. Wo all want
to do somo good in tho world, but how
oasily wo aro halted in our ondoavors.
Porhaps wo aro solioitors for somo groat
oharity. Thoro is a good man who has
largo mean", and ho is aooustomed to
give liberally to asylums, to hospitals,
to roform organizations, to sch )ols, to
ohurohes, to oommumtios desolated
with flood or devastated with fires.
But that good man, liko many a good
man, is mercurial in his tomporamont.
Ho is doproBsed by atmoBhpcrio
ohangos. Ho ie always viotimizod by
tho oast wind. For this or that reason
you postpono tho oharitablo oolicita
tion. Rloanwhilo tho suffering that you
wish to alloviato doo? its awful work,
and tho opportunity for roliof is past.
If tho wind had boon from tho wost or
noithw?Bt, you would havo cntorod tho
philanthropist's counting room and
sought tho gift, but tho wind was blow
ing from tho oast or northeast, and you
did not make tho attempt, and you
thoroughly illustrated'-my text, "Ho
that obsorvoth tho wind shall not sow."
Thoro oomos a dark Sabbath morning
Tho pastor looks out of tho window and
BOOB tho olouds gathor and thon dis
ohargo thoir burdons of rain. Instead
of a full ohuroh it will bo a handful of
pooplo with wet foot and tho dripping
umbrella at the doorway or in tho end
of pow. . The pastor has proparod ono
of his boat' sormons. It has oost him
groat rosoaroh, and ho has boon muoh
in prayer whilo preparing it. Ho puts
tho sermon asido for a olear day and
talks platitudes and goes homo quito
deproSBod, but yt tho samo timofcoling
that he has a > his duty. Ho did not
realize that .. that small audionoo
thoro wore at ioast two persons who
ought to havo had bolter trcatmont.
Ono of thoso hoarers was a man in a
crisis of Btrugglo with ovil appetite. A
carefully propared disoourso undor tho
divino blessing would havo boon to him
complote viotory. Tho liras of oin
would havo boon extinguished, and his
koon and brilliant mind would havo
boon consecrated to tho gospel ministry
and ho would have boon a mighty ovan
gol, and tons of thousands of souls
would havo, undor tho spoil of his
Onristian oloquonoo, given up sin and
started a now lifo, and throughout all
tho hoavona thoro would havo boon
congratulation and hosanna, and aftor
many ages of otornity had passed thoro
would bo oolobration among tho ran
somed of what waa nooomplishod ono
stormy Sunday in a ohuroh on earth
undor a mighty gospol sermon dolivorod
to 15 or 20 pooplo. But tho crisis I
speak of was not proporly mot. Tho
man in stiugglo with evil habit hoard
that stormy day no word that moved
him. Ho wont out in tho rain unin
vited and unhelpod baok to his ovil
way and down to his overthrow. Had
it boon a sunshiny Sabbath ho would
havo heard something worth boating.
But tho wind blow from a stormy diroo
tion that Sabbath day. That gospol
husbandman noticed it and noted upon
its suggestion and may disoovor some
day his groat mistako Ho had a sack
full cf tho finest of tho who it, but ho
withhold it, and somo da) ho will find,
when tho wholo story is told, that ho
was a vivd illustration of tho troth of
my text, "Ho that obsorvoth tho wind
shall not sow."
In all departments of lifo thom aro
thoso hindorod by tho wind of public
opinion. It has broome an aphorism
in politios and in all groat movemonto,
"Ho is waiting to nco whioh way tho
wind blows.'' And it is no easy thing
to defy public opinion, to bo run upon
. by newspapers, to bo overhauled in so
ofal oirolos, to bo anathematized by
thoso who horotoforo wero your frionds
and admirent, lt requires a heroism
whioh fow po&soss.
Yot no great reformatory or elevating
movement has cvor bcon aooomplishcd
until Bomo ono was willing to deny what
tho world should think or say or do.
But there have been mon and women of
that kind. Thoy stand all up and down
tho oorridors of history, cxamplos for
us to follow. Charleo Sumnor in tho
Unitod State? sonate, Alexander H.
Stophons in Ooorgio oonvontion, Savon
arola staking his lifo in timo of perse
cution Martin Luther fighting tho
battlo for roligious froodom againnt
tho mightost him them mi that wore
over hurled, William Oaroy loading
the missionary movement to eavo
a ko?then world whilo ohurohos
donounood him as a fanatic and with
nttoir piing an impossibility; .fenner,
tho hore of itnodioino, earioutured for
his ftUomptby vaoolnation to boatbaok
tho worst disoaso that smoto tho na
tions. Thoy who watoh tho wind of
publio opinion will not flow. It is, an
uncertain indtoation and is apt io blow
tho wrong way. . . ,
Oorarauoitios and ohurohos and na
tions somotimos aro thrown into hys
toria, and it requires a man of groat
rquipoiso to maintain n right position,
Thirty-threo yoars ago thoro oamo a
timo of bitterness in American politics,
and tho impoaohmont of a president of
tho Unitod Statos was domandod. Two
or titree patriotic mon, at tho risk of
losing their senatorial position, stood
outr gainst tho domand of thoir politi
cal asaooiatos and saved tho country
from that whioh all pooplo of all parties
now BOO would havo boon a oalamity
and would havo put i vory eubiequont
president at tho mercy of his opponents.
It only rcquirod tho wai dog of a fow
months, v. hen timo itself romoved all
oontrovorsy.
"Lot UH havo war with England if
nocds bo," said tho most of the pooplo
of our northern eUtos in 1861, when
Mason and 81 idell, tho distinguished
southerners, had boon taken by our
navy from tho British stearne r Trent
and tho English government rosontod
tho aotoi our govornmont in stopping
ouo of thoir ships. "Give up thoso
prisoners," said Groat Britain. "No,"
said thc almost unanimous opinion of
tho no) .a. "Do not givo them up. Lit
us havo war with England rather than
surrondor thom." Thon William II.
Siward, scorotory of state, faced ono of
tho fioroost storms of publio opinion
over seen in this or any other oountry.
Sooing that tho retention of 'thoso two
mou was of no importance to our ooun
'try that their rotontion would put Great
Britain and tho Uoitod Statos into iin
mediato oon?liot, ho said,' "Wo givo
them up." Thoy woro givon up, and
through tho roflislauooof popular olaraor
by that ono man a worldwido oalamity
was adverted.
Some ot" us romombor as boys huzzi

Thon Djnicl Wcbstoi, in his immortal
"Huhcmnnn letter," bravod a whirl
wind of popular opinion and enved this
nation frtrn usoloss foreign cntanglo
mcrtl. Wobstcr did not observo tho
wind when ho wroto that lotter. So in
state and church thoro have always boon
mon at tho right limo ready to faco a
nation full-yea, a woild full-of op
position.
How m,\ny thero aro who givo too

Tho grandest and best things over ao- I
oomplishcd havo been in tho tooth of
