If ??- I II II I ! I 'T V 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 u?n.,no A /? ' ' 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. Mark you well that statesmanship, however grand it is, and wise men of the world, howovcr noble, cannot do thin wnrlf Mom OA""'"" ? J n vs mi 4'avi u pwuku uuuuttllUH UUCfi 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.
