FAVORS EXPANSION.
>.; Dr. Talmage Discusses an Absorbing
Theme.
POINTS OUT THE WAY
"or the American People to Perform
a Mighty Work. They
Hold the Key to the
World's Redemption.
In this discourse l>r. Talmage steers
clear of the political entanglements of
our time and recommends that which
will meet the approval of all who hopo
for the perpetuity of our republic and
x the welfare of other lands; text, tionosis
zxviii, 14, Thou shalt spread abroad to
the west and to the cast.
Since the Americano-Hispanic war is
concluded and the l mtcd Mates embassador
is on the way to Madrid and the
y Spanish embassador is on the way to
Washington the people of our country
v'" aro divided iuto expansionists and anti\
expansionists. From adiflcront standj
point from that usually taken 1 discuss
this all absorbing theme. 1 leave the
political aspect of this subject to statesmen
and warriors and pray Almighty
God that they may be enabled to rightly
settle the question whether the islands
in controversy shall be finally annexed,
or held under protectorate, or
resigned to themselves, while I call attention
to the fact that a campaign of
moral and religious expansion ought to
bo immediately opened on widest and
grandest scale.
At the close of this war God has put
into the hands of this country the key
to the world's redemption. Heretofore
the religious movement in pagan lands
had to precede the educational. After
in China and India and the islands of
the sea the missionaries have labored
over 50 or 75 years the printing press
and the secular school came in. Now
to better advantage than ever before
religious and secular enlightenment
may go side by side, and so the work
be accomplished in short time and more
thoroughly. Starting with tho fact
that in Cuba and lV.rto ltico and the
l^hilinnino lalon/lu o lnnot C h
- U...|.|..uv IOIH.IUO UV IV/Uill llUliU-lUUIlll^
of the people can neither road nor
write, what an opportunity for school
and printing press! Within five years
every man in those islands may be
taught to read not only the Biblo, but
the Declaration of Independence and
the constitution of the United States
and tho biography of George Washington
and of Abraham Lincoln.
It seems to me that the government
of the United States ought by vote of
congress afford common schools and
printing presses to those benighted rogions.
Our national legislature by ono
vote appropriated $50.000,000 to give
bread and medicine to Cuba. Why not
by a similar generosity give $50,000,000
for feeding and hcaliDg the minds and
souls of those ignoraut and besotted
archipelagoes. In tho name of God, I
nominate a school for overy neighborhood
of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
As soon as tho gavel falls at
12 o'clock of next Dee. 1 on the tnblc
? of senate and house of representatives
and tho roll has been called and the
preliminaries observed let some member
of our national legislature, with
mind and soul and voice strong onough
to bo heard not only through those halls,
but through Christendom, propose a
measure for the mental and moral disenthrallmont
of the islands in controversy.
What has made American civilization
the highest civilization the world has
ever seen? Next to the Bible and tho
church, schools, common schools,
schools reaching from the Atlantic to
Pacific, and from Itrifi-ali Amnrin?
the gulf of Mexico. Five years under
such educational advantages and the
wholo subject that keeps our public
men agitated, some of them to frothing
at the mouth; vrill settle itself. Give
those islands readers, spellers, arithmetics,
histories, blackboards, maps,
geographies, globes. Let the state
legislatures at their next meeting, some
of them assembling in early autumn,
take partB of those islands under their
especial educational patronage. What
is needed is state and national action
in this matter of schools.
Then let the editorial associations of
the United States, as many of such organizations
as there arc states, resolve
at the next convocation to establish in
every region of those islands a printing
prcBs, to be supported by people of this
country until it can become self supporting.
Each of these state editorial
associations sending out to those islands
at least one editor and two reporters and
cough typesetters, down will go the ignorance
and superstition of those islands
as certainly as the Spanish licet
under Ccrvera sank under the pounding
of our American battleships, and into
their every port will go intelligence and
love of free institutions as certainly as
into the harbor of Manila went Admiral
Dewey on that famous night when
he was not expected. Hoe's printing
press! Nothing can stand before its
bombardment. Editors of American
newspapers and publishers of American
books! Take the ordination for
such a magnilicent icrvice. Eloquence
on yonder Capitol hill cannot meet the
exigency. Epigrams of political platforms
or in state legislatures will not
hasten the desired consummation one
week or one hour or one moment.
When Cubans and Porto Uicans and
Filipinos seo the morning and evening
newspapers thrown into the doorways
and hawked along the streets of Havana
and Santiago and Manila, those who
cannot read by the force of curiosity
will loam to read so that they may know
what information is being scattered,
and that which may bo missionary effort
at the start and carried on by
Americans sent forth to do the work
will soon be done by educated natives.
Porto llican editorsl Porto ltican reporters!
Porto llican typesetters!
Porto llican publishers! It was a great
rnercy to take those islands from under
the heels of despotism, but it will be a
mightier mercy to emancipate them
from ignorance and degradation. Tho
expansion of the knowledge and intellectual
qualification of all those islandy
regions is the desire of all intelligent
Americans. Awake all you schools and
universities and printing presses to our
opportunity!
Still furthor, here is a wide open door
n n ri ! i m> fco - r~ mm ? i ! ? _ l_lij
for Christianity. First of all, wc have
the attention of those peoplo. The
heathen nations are for tho most part
soporific. The American missionaries
heretofore had great difficulty in getting
heathendom to listen. They
excited some comment by their attire,
so different was the parting of the
hair, and the shape of the hat, and
the cut of the coat, and tho formation
of tho shoe of tho cvangclizcrs,
but tho questions constantly aroso in regard
to tho missionary: "Who is bo?"
"What is ho hero for?" And then
the interrogator would relax into the
previous stupid indifference. Hut
that condition of things has passed.
The guns of our American navy have
awakened those populations. They do
not ask who we arc. l'hey have found
out. They are now listening to what
American civilization and our Christian
religion havo to say on any subject.
Now is tho time. \\ hile their ears and
eves are wide oncn. to tell them nf the
rescuing and salvablo and inspiriting
power of the gospel of .Jesus Christ,
tho Savior of the world. The steam
printing press which secular education
plants there may he used and will he
used to print roligious newspapers and
tracts and sermons and mighty discussions
of questions temporal and eternal.
Tho comfortable homos of thoso
populations, when Christianized, standing
side by side with degraded huts of
those who remain pagans, will he reyo
lutionary for good. Tho Porto Kican
and the Filipino will come out from his
uncloanscd and low roofed and uninviting
kennel and say to his neighbor
of beautiful household, "Why cannot
1 have things as you have them?"
And when he linds that it is the Bible,
with its teachings on family life and
personal purity and exalted principle,
and the church of God that proposes
the rectification of all evil and tho implantation
of all good, he will cry out,
"Give me the Bible, and the church,
and the earthly alleviations, and the
eternal hope which have wrought for
you such transfiguration."
Now, church of God, now all Christian
philanthropists, is your opportunity.
Nothing like it has occurred since
Christ came. Perhaps there may be
nothing like it till his second coming.
Here is u dcflnitcness of aim that is
most helpful and inspiring. The millions
of dollars given for the redemption
of tlie world and tho thousands of
glorious missionaries who have as
volunteers gotio forth among barbaric
nations, were given and enlisted up Pv
a great and immeasurable idea. It n
when they come to add to the g' <.??
and immeasurable idea the idea of dt linitcncss
we will infinitely 'augment 'he
work. IMor<> (loin 'lltfi (1(111 (1(1/1 1 .
then in India, inoro than 300,000,000
of people in China, and nioro than millions
of heathen than can bo guessed
outside of those countries, sometimes
stagger and confound and defeat our
faith. Hut here in, theso islands of
present controversy vre can farm out
the work among the churches, and in
five years, under the blessing of Cod,
not only fit the pc'ople for the right of
suffrage, but prepare them for usefulness
and heaven. The difference between
the general idea of the world's
evangelization and some particularized
field of evangelization is tho difference
between the improvement of agriculture
among all nations and the improvement
of 75 acres put under one's especial
care and industry. Hy all means let
tho general work go on. Hut here is
the specific field for religious concentration
and development. This is not
chimeical or impractical. I read this
morning that the American Missionary
association of the Congregational
Church has already begun tho work at
San Juan, IJtuado and Albonito, and
all denominations of Christians, in six
months, will be in thoso islandy fields,
and we all need with our prayers and
contributions to chcor thorn on to take
for Cod and righteousness those regions
which our American navy has captured
from Spanish perfidy.
It has been estimated that this
Amcrico-Spanish war cost us $300,000,
000. It would not cost half of that to
proclaim and carry on and consummate
a holy war that will rcscuo those archipelagoes
from satanic domination.
Who will volunteer? 1 beat tho drum
of a recruiting station. Who will onlist
under tho one starred, blood striped
bannor of lunnanuol? Cuba and l'orto
llico and the Philippines are stepping

p.uuiiD iui uui ^xiuurioun vjnriauanuy
to cross over and take tho round world
for God. We need u now evangelical
alliauco organized for this one purpose.
In all denominations there aro those
with large enough hearts and who have
been thoroughly onough converted to
join in such an advanced movement;
men who, putting aside all minor
differences of opinion, "believe in God
tho Father Almighty, Maker of heaven
and earth, and in ?Jcsus Christ, his
only begottyn Sen,'' and who would
march shoulder to shoulder in such a
gospel campaign. Tho result would be
that those islands, after a scene of
gospelization, would assort themselves
into denominations to suit themselves,
and somo would be sprinkled in holy
baptism, and others would be immersed
in those warm rivers, and somo
would worship in religious assemblage
silent as the Quaker meeting house, and
others would have as many jubilant
ejaculations as a backwoods camp
meeting, and some of thoso who preached
would be gowned aud surpliood for
the work, and othcra would stand iu
citizen's apparel or in their shirt sIccvcb
preaching that gospel which is to save
tho world.

however grand it is, and wise men of

not moralize. Some of the most thoroughly
educated men in all the world
havo been the worst men. Quicken a
man's intellect, while at the same timo
you do not make his morals good, and
you only augment his powers for evil.
Geography and mathematics and metaphysics
and philosophy will never qualify
a people to govern themselves. A
currupt printing press is worse than no
printing press at all, but let loose an
open Bible upon those islands and let
the apocalyptic angel once fly over
thorn and you will prepare them to bocomo
cither colonies of the United
States government or, as I hope will be
the oase, independent republic.
God did not exhaust himself whon
ho built this nation. Those islands
| will yet have their Thomas .IcfTcrsons,
qualified to write for them declarations
| of independence; and Georgo Washing
tons, callable of &chioviug thoir liberties;
and Abraham Lincoln*, strong
enough to emancipate their serfdoms;
and hongfellows and Bryants, capable
cf putting their hills and their rivers
and their landscapes into poems; and
iheir Bancrofts and Proscotts to make
their histories; and their Irvitigs to
writo thoir sketchbooks; and their
Charlos O'Conors and HufusChoatcs to
plead in their courtrooms; and their
l>anicl Wcbstcrs and John J. Crittcn
dens to move their senates.
The day comcth?hear it all ye who
have no hope for thoso islands of bodwarfed
and diseased illiterates -tho
day eometh when thoso regions will
havo a Christian civilization equal to
that which this country now enjoys,
while I hopo by that time this country
will be as superior to what it now is as
today Washington and New York arc
better than Manila and Santiago. Do
you sec by this process of gospel ized
intelligence those archipelagoes will as
a nation bo protected from the two woes
prophesied in regard to this country,
the one woe prophesied by tho oxpan
sionists7 The other woo prophesied
by tho anti-expansionist?
It is said by those who would have
us take all we can lay our hands
on as a nation that unless wo enter the
door now open for tho enlargement of
our national domain we will dcclino the
mission which tlod in his providence
has assigned us. Hut surely no woe
will come upon us or upon them if wc
Christianize tnoin, as wc now have tho
opportunity of doing. The political
technicalities are nothing as compared
with the importance of this movement.
1 implore all political expansionists to
augment us in this work of moral and
religious expansion, for unless those
islands arc moralized and elevated in
intelligence and nabiU we do not want
them, and their annexation would be
political damnation. On the other
hand, I implore all antiexpans'onists to
take a hand in tho gospclization of
Cuba, Porto Uico and the Philippine
Islands. The only way to prepare them
to take care of themselves is to give
them the Ten Commandments that were
published on Mount Sinai and let them
hear the groan of sacrilieo that was
breathed out on the heights of Golgotha.
What they most want is the
gospel, the pure gospel, tho omnipotent
gospel, the gospel that hclpB heal the
wounds of the body, and irradiates the
darkness of the iuind and achieves tho
ransom of the soul.
Hut on this platform tho so called
expausionists and so called antiexnan
lonists will yet stand side by side.
Though 1 am not a prophet or the son
of * prophet, within five years, if this
religio-cducational work is proporly nttonded
to, there will be a Cuban
republic, a Porto Hiean republic
and a Philippine republic, nono of
them on a large scale, but they will all
havo their schools and printing presses
and evangelical churches, their presidents,
their senates and house of rcprcsentives,
their mayors and their constabularies,
and as good order will bo
observed in their citios as now reigns
on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington,
or Broadway, New York.
Christ has started for the conquest
of the nations, and nothing on earth or
in hell can stop it. The continents
arc rapidly rolling into his dominion,
and why not these islands, which for
tho most part arc only fragments broken
off from continents, the interval
lands having been sunk by earthquakes,
allowing the ocean to take mastery over
them? Each mother continent has
around it a whole family of little continents.
If the continents arc being so
rapidly ovangolizcd, why not the
islands? If America, why not Cuba
and tho Bahamas? If Asia, why not
the Philippines and the Moluccas? If
Africa, why not Madagascar and St.
Helena? The samo power that broke
them oir the mainland can lift them
into evangelization.
In the old book, which has become a
new book by reason of modern discoveries,
especial attention is called to tho
islands. "Declare tho Lord's praise
in the islands,"commands Isaiah. "Let
the multitudes of the islands be glad
thereof," says the Psalmist. "All the
islands-of tho heathen shall worship
him." writes Zoplmniah. "He shall
turn his face to the islands," prophesies
Daniel. "The ihabitants of the isles
shall be astonished at thee," fortolls
Kzekicl. "Hear it and declare it to
the islands afar olT," exclaims .Jere
nnan. t on hoc from this the islands
arc not to be neglected. Perhaps they
aro the Lord's favorites, as in households
if thore is any favoritism at all it
is for the weakest. The islands too
small to take care of themselves have
the eternal God to take care of them.
Lot nations look out how they tread on
the islands, however small and weak,
for they arc omnipotently defended.
They may not be able to marshal large
armies or to send out navies to sweep
the sea, but better than that, they have
the chariots of heaven on their sido
and the drawn swords of tho Almighty.
1 have as much faith in the salvation
of the smallest island of the Falklands,
of the Canaries, of the Ladroncs, of tho
Carolines, of the Fijis, of the llarbodocs,
of the Cape Verdes, of the Society
islands as I have in the salvation of
America.
The continents themselves are only
larger islands, and tho world in which
we live is only a still larger island, and
the solar system is a group of islands,
and the universe is an archipelago
studded with islands of worlds surrounded
by tho great ocean of inlinitudo
and immensity. So you see when God
planned the universe he diagrammed it
into islands, and he will look after the
interest of each of those inlands, howover
small, and Kngland and Holland
and France and Germany and America
must not treat tho smallest and weakest
island that comes under their sway
any differont from the way they treat
the strongost nation of all tho earth.
God may chiefly deal with individuals
in tho next world, but he deals with
nations only in this world, and when
persistently a nation practices injustico
against other people it is only a question
of tirao when tho offender will find
his doom. The path of time is strewn
with tho carcasses of nations that because
of their maltreatment of other
nations perishoi. The higher such offending
empires rise the harder will ho
their fall.
It required tho pen of an Edward Gibbon,
t hrough four great volumos of more
than ;">00 pages ouch, to tell the story of
"Tho Decliue and Fall of tho lioman
Empiro," concluding his monumontal
work with the w^rds: "It was among
iSbt - i
the ruius of the capital that I first conceived
tho idea of a work which has
amused and oxorciscd nearly 20 years
of uiy life, and which, however inadequate
to my own wishes, I (inally deliver
to tho curiosity and candor of tho
public," What, tho Roman empire
dead! Did she lack warriors? No.
Behold hor Pompey and her Julius Ciesar.
Did she lack lawmakers and lawgivers?
No. Think of the masters of
lloman jurisprudence, our American
attorneys today quoting those laws in
our courtrooms more than If) centuries
after they were enacted. In poetry did
she not have her Virgil and Ovid? lu
history did she not have her Sallustand
her Livy? In cloqucnco did sho not
have herSoipio and Cicero? In satire
urn she not have a .Juvenal and a Horace?
What pens were wielded by her
Cato, and her Terence, and her Pliny!
All nations heard the cry of her war
eagles, the voices of her oratory and
tho chime of her cantos. But the day
of judgment come for that nation, and
Hannibal crossed the Appennincs, and
the Goths and Vandals s./ooped, and
tho Carthaginian licet assailed, and
Numidian horsemen galloped, and nations
combined, and Koine sank. The
tourist now on tho bauks of the Tiber
sees the ruins of her forum, tho ruins of
her Coliseum, the ruins of her ait, the
ruins of her aqueducts, the ruins of her
catacombs, the ruins of her palaces.
If our nation forgets its duty to other
nations and practicos injustice against
other people, however insignificant, it
will not take another Edward Gibbon 21)
years and through four great volumes
to tell the story of the decline and fall
of American institutions. Ky so much
as our opportunities have been greater
than any nation that ever lived, ond tho
mission to which she has been ordained
is more stupondous than any bestowed
by tho almighty upon any people, if wo
forget our God and .enact wickedness
our overthrow will be quicker and more
tremendous, and yonder capitolino hill,
with its architectural magnificence,
will bocomo a heap of gigantic ruins,
to be visited by the people of other
times and other nations, who will read
in letters of crushed and crumbled marble
that which David wrote many hun
drcd years ago upon parchment, "'J'he
way of the wicked ho turncth upside
down."
Wc concluded a few days ago tlir uii
nual decoration of northern and southern
graves. Three years ago, at this
season, in memorial sermon I proposed
the twisting of two garlands, one to be
put upon tho gravo of the northern soldier
and the other to be put 011 the grave
of lilft aniltllArn unlili/ir V.ilf tl.iu
we need three garlands, the third
to ho put upon the graves of those who
fell in this Amcrico 11ispaniu conflict.
The third garland needs to he quite as
fragrant and as radiant as the other two.
Theso last heroe0 braved inoro than
bayonets and bombshell, they braved
tho pestiferous breath of the tropics,
wliolo battalions, whole regiments,
*vhole hrigados, whole armies of deathful
malaria. They confronted those
oppositions of the torrid elitnos which
no sword can pierce, no agility climb,
no stratagem flank, no torpedo explode,
no eourage conquer. Under the awful
charge of visible and invisible hosts
about '?,()()() men went down, somo to
instant death and others through lingering
pangs in hospital.
If in this third wreath you twist the
crimson rose, suggestivo of sanguinary
sacrifice, and nhn white ealla lily, suggestive
of glorious ressurreption, putin
also a few forgetmenots, suggestive of
remembrance, and a few passion flowers
suggestive of the love that mourns the
slain, and a few heliotropes, suggestive
of the fragrance of their memory. Then
lot tho night's dew put tho tears into
the blue cycB of the violots and all tho
soldiers' cemeteries he so many censers
burning incense before the throne of
that (iod who has been the friend of
this nation from tho time of Lexington
to the time of 8111 Juan hill, from the
guns of the United States warships
Constitution and Constellation, at the
beginning of tho century, to the guns
of the United States warships Olympia,
Oregon, Hrooklyn and other loaded
thunders, at the oloso of tnis century.
Henicmbcr lioro and now that those
brave boys opened up tho way for a kind
of expansion we all believe in. They
swung open tho gates for the speedy
gospclization of islands stupid with tho
superstition of ages. They cleared the
way for missionaries and Hibles. They

what shall be the political destiny of
thoso peoples, lot us all join in a campaign
of religious expansion, expansion
of atfoction that can tako all the world

none shall reject their broad invitation

earth is saved and the time arrives when
the prophecy shall be fulfilled and
"they shall come from the north and

and uit down in tho kingdom of God and

Wock before last, in this capital of
tho nation, we set three nights on tiro
in celebration of naval and soldierly
heroics, and there wero rockets of tire,

were thrco garlands of fire; but now wo
