Dr. Talmnge Discourses on Bible
Mathematics.
A FAVORITE NUMBER WITH
The Divine Mind. Take Care of
the Present, Says the Great
Divine; God Will Take
Care of the Future.
Many of the import ant doctrines of
the Bible are by Dr. Talmago presented
in this sermon in a very unusual way.
Ucnosis ii, 3, "God blessed the seventh
day."
The mathematics of the Bible are nnticcablo;thc
geometry and the arithmetic,
the square in Ezckiel, the circle
spoken of in Isaiah, the curve alluded
to in .Job, the rule of fractions mentioned
in Daniel, the rule of loss and
gain in Mark, whoio Christ asks the
people to cipher out by that rule what
it would "profit a man if he gain the
whole world and lose his soul." But
there is one mathematical figure that is
crowned above all others in the Bible.

Btands between the figuro aix and the
ligurc eight. In the liiblc all the other
numerals bow to it. Over 1100 times it
is mentioned in the Scriptures, cither
alone or compounded with other words.
In Genesis the week is rounded into
seven days, and 1 use my text bccauso
thero this numeral is for the first time
introduced in a journey which halts not
until in the close ol the book of Revelation
its monument is built into the wall
of hcavem in chrysolite, which in the
strata of precious stones is the soventh.
In the Riblc we find that Jacob had
to serve seven years to get Rachel, but
she was well worth it, and. f^ctelling
the years of prosperity and famine in
Pharaoh's time, the seven fat oxen wcro
eaten up of the seven lean oxen, and

Ezckiel saw iti vision there wo seven
steps; the walls of Jericho, before they
fell down, wore compassed seven days;
Zechcariah describes a stone with seven
eyes; to cleanse a leprous houso tho
door must be sprinkled with pigeons'
blood seven times; in Canaan wore overthrown
seven nations; on one occasion
Christ cast out seven devils; on a mountain
he fed a multitude of people with
seven loaves, the fragments left filling
seven baskets, and the closing passages
of tho Bible are magnificent and overwhelming
with the imagery made up of
seven churches, seven stars, seven candlesticks,
seven seals, seven angels
and soven heads and seven crowns and
seven horns and seven spirits and soven
phials and seven plagues and scvou
thunders.
Yea, the numeral seven seems a favorite
with the divine mind outside as
well as inside the Biblo, for aro there
not seven prismatic colors? And when
God with the lainbow wrote the comforting
thought that the world would
never have another dolugo ho wrote it
on tho scroll of the sky in ink of seven
colors. He grouped into the Pleiades
seven stars. Home, the capital of tho
world, sat on seven hills. When God
would make the most intelligent thing
on earth, the human countenance, ho
fashioned it with seven features ?tho
two cars, tho two eyes, the two nostrils
and the mouth. Yea, our body lasts
only seven years, and we gradually shed
it for another body after another seven
years, aud so on, for we aro as to our
bodies septennial animals. So tho
numeral soven ranges through nature
and through revelation. It is the number
of perfection, and so 1 use it while
I speak of the seven candlesticks, the
seven stars, the seven seals and the
seven thunders.
Tho seven golden candlesticks wero
and arc the churches. Mark you, the
churches never were and never enn be
candles. They arc only candlesticks.
They arc not the light, but they are to
hold the light. A room in the night
might have in it 500 candlesticks and
yet you could not see your hand before
your face. The only use of a caudlcstick,
and the only uso of n church is to
hold up tho light, You see it is a dark
world, the night of ain, tho night of
trouble, tho night of superstition, tho
night of persecution, the night of poverty,
the night of sickness, the night
of death; aye, about F>0 nights have interlocked
their shadows. The whole
raco goes stumbling over prostrated
hopes and fallen fortunes and empty
flour barrels and desolated cradles and
deathbeds. Ilow much we have uso for
all the seven candlesticks, with lights
blazing from the top of each one of
them! Light of pardon for all sin!
Light of comfort for all trouble! Light
of encouragement for all despondency!
Light of eternal riches for all povortyl
Light/of rescue for all persecution!
Light of reunion for all tho bereft'
Light of heaven lor all the dying! And
that light is Christ, who is the light
that shall yet irradiate the hemispheres.
Hut mark you. when L say churches
are not candles, but candlesticks, I cast
no slur on candlesticks. 1 believe in
beautiful candlesticks. The candlesticks
that Cod ordered for the ancient
tabernacle were something exquisite.
They wore a dreain of beauty carved out
of loveliness. They wore made of ham
mered gold, stood in a foot of gold and
had six branches of geld blooming all
along in six lilies of gold each, and lips
of gold, from which the candles lifted
their holy fire. And the best houses
in any city ought to be the churches?
the best built, the best ventilated, the
best swept, tlu? best windowed, and the
best chandeliercd. Log cabins may do
in neighborhoods where most of the
people live in log cabins, but let there
be palatial churches for regions where
many of the pooplo live in palaces.
Do not have a better place for yourself
than for your Lord and King. l)o not
live in a parlor and put your Christ in
a kitchen.
Theso seven candlesticks of which 1
speak were not made of powtcr or iron.
They were golden candlesticks, and gold
is not only a valuable, but a bright metal.
Have everything about your
church bright?your ushers with snailI;
it
mmmmmmu, ..
iog faces, your musit! jubilant, your
handshaking cordial, your entire service
attractive. Many people feel that
in church they must look dull, in order
to be reverential, and many whoso faces
in other kinds of assemblage show all
the different phases of emotion have in
ohurch no more expression than tho
baok wheel of a hearse. Brighten up
and bo responsive. If you feel like
weeping, weep. If you feel liko smiling,
smile. If you feel indignant at
some wrong assailed from the pulpit,
frown. Do not lcavo your naturalness
and resiliency homo beoauso it is Sunday
morning. If as officers of a church
you meet people at tho church door
with n black look, and havo tho music
black nud the minister in black preach
a black sermon, and from invocation to
benediction have the impression black,
few will come, and thoso who do come
will wish that they bad not come at
all.
(J old on candlesticks! Scour up the
six lilies on each branch and know that
tho moro lovoly and bright they arc the
more fit they are to hold tho light. But
a Christlcss light is a damago to tho
world rather than a good. Cromwell

worldincss. A worldly church is a can- |
dlcHtick without the candle, and it had |
its prototype in St Sophia, in Constan- '
tinople, built to the glory of God by i
Constantino, but transformed to base ,
uses by Mohammed the second. Guilt ,
out of colored marble, a cupola with 24 ,
windows soaring to a height of ISO feet, |
tho coiling one great bewilderment of |
mosaic, galleries supported by eight |
columns of porphyry and 07 columns of i
green jasper, nine bronzo doors with ,
alto relievo work, fascinating to the eye .
of any artist, vases and vestments in- ]
crusted with ah manner of precious
stones. Four walls on lire with indc- .
scribablo splendor. i
Though labor was cheap, the build- ,
ing cost $1,500,000. Kcclcsiastiral i
structure, almost supernatural in pomp and
majesty. Gut Mohammedanism
tore down from the walls of that build- j
ing all the saintly and Christly images,
and high up in the dome tho figure of |
the cross was rubbed out that the ores- ]
cent of the barbarous Turk might bo i
substituted. A great church, but no )
Christ! A gorgeous candlestick, but no j
candle! Ton thousand such churches ]
would not give the world as much light i
as ono homcniado tallow candle by <
which last night some grandmother in ]
the eighties put on her spectacles
read the Psalms of David in large . p
Up with the churches by all m ti.s! j i
Hundreds of them, thousands of them, I ,
and the luoro the hotter. But let euoh ]

the world brighter and brighter, ti!l the (
last shadow has disappeared aiyl (he i
last of the suffering children ot Hod i
shall have reached the land where they i
have no need of candlestick or "of can- |
die, neither light of tho sun, for tho i
Lord Cod givcth them light, and they i
shall reign forever and ever." Seven i
candlesticks the complote number of i
lights! Let your light shine before i
men, that they, seeing your good works j
may glorify your Father which is in j
heaven. i
Turn now in your Bible to the seven
stars. We arc distinctly told that they !
are the ministers of religion. Some are i
large stars, some of them small stars, i
some of them sweep a wide circuit and i
somo of them a small circuit, but so fa: i
as they are genuine they get their light <
from the great central sun around whom i
they make revolution. Let each one 1
keep in his sphere. The solar system i
would bo soon wrecked if the stars, instoad
of keeping their own orbits should i
go to hunting down other stars. Minis- 1
ters of religion should never clash. But <
in all the centuries of tho Christian |
church some of theso stars have been i
hunting an Edward Irving or a Horace (
Bushnell or an Albert Barnes, said the i
stars that were in pursuit of the other i
stars lost their own orbit, and some of
them could nevoi; again tind it. Alas i
for the heresy hunters! The best way
to destroy error is to preach tho truth.
The best way to scatter darkness is to
Hlritd A lil/lll Tlinrn ia in immnnnil..
-...-w ? 1U ill lUIIUUllvllt^
room enough for nil the starH and in the
church room enough for all the ministers.
The ministers who give up righteousness
and tho truth will get punishment
enough anyhow, for they arc "'the
wandering stars for whom is reserved
the blacknoss of darkness forever."
I should liko, as a minister, when I
am dying to bo able truthfully to say
what a captain of the English army,
fallon at the head of his column and
dying on the Egyptian battlefield, said
to General Wolseley, who came to condole
with him: "1 led them straight.
Didn't 1 lead them straight, general?"
God lias put us ministers as captains in
this battlefield of truth against error.
Great at last will bo our chagrin if we
fall leading tho people the wrong way,
but great will bo our gladness if when
the battle is over wo can hand our sword
back to our great commander, saying:
"Lord .Jesus! Wo led tho people
straight. Didn't we lead them straight?
Those ministers who go off at a tangent
and preach some other gospel arc not
stars, but coinots, and they flash across
tho heavens a littlo while and make
people stare and throw down a few
meteoric stones, and then go out of
sight if not out of existence. Brethren
in the ministry, let us romcmber that
God calls us stars, and our business is
to shino and to keep our own sphere,
and then whop we get done trying to
light up tho darkness of this world we
will wheel into higher spheres, and in
us shall be fulfilled the promise. "They
tfiat turn many to righteousness
shall shine as the stars forever and
over."
Tho ministers are not all I'ceksniffs
and canting hypocrites, as some would
have you think! Forgive me if, having
at other times glorified the medical
profession and tho legal profession and
the literary profession, 1 glorify my
own. 1 havo seen them in their homes
and heard them in their pulpits, and a
grandei array of men never i,mo?i.r.<i
and the Biblo figure is not strained
when it calls them stars. And whole
constellations of glorious ministers
have already taken their places on high,
where they shine even brighter than
they shono on earth. Kdward N. Kirk

itop, for it so happens that 1 have mentioned
the seven stars of the seven
shurchcs.
I pass on to anothor mighty Bible
icven, and thoy aro the seven seals.
St. John in vision saw a scroll withscvjn
seals, and ho heard an angel cry:
"Who is worthy to looso the soals thorc>f?"
Tako eight or ten sheots of foolicap
paper, paste them together and
roll them into a scroll and have the
icroll at sovon different places sealed
with scaling wax. You unroll tho
icroll till you ootno to one of theso
icals and then you can go no farther
until you broak that seal. Thon unroll
again until you como to another
teal, and you can go no farther until
pou break that seal. Then you go on
intil all tho seven seals arc broken and
he contents of tho entire scroll are repealed.
Now. that scroll with seven
icals held by the angel was the prophjcy
of what was to come on the earth.
It meant that the knowledge of the fu
lure was with (lod, and no man and no
uigel was worthy to opon it, but the
Diblo says Christ opened it and broke
ill the sovcn seals. 11o broke tho first
seal and unrolled tho scroll, and tbcrc
was a picture of a white horse, and that
meant prosperity and triumph for the
[Ionian empire, and so it really came to
Lo pass that for 0(1 years virtuous emperors
succeeded each other Norvn
Trajan and Antoninus. Christ in the
vision broke tho second seal and unrolled
again, and there was a picture of a
red horse, and that meant bloodshed,
ind so it really came to pass, and the
next 00 years were red with assassinations
and wars. 'Then Christ broke the
third seal aud unrolled it, and there
was a picture of a black horse, which in
ill literature means famine, oppression
ind taxation, and so it really eame to
pass. Christ went on until he broke
ill the seven seals and opened all the
scroll. Well, the future of all of us is
i scaled scroll, and I am glad that no
mo but Christ can open it. Do not let
as join thatclass of Chritians in our day
who arc trying to break tho seven seals
of the future. They arc trying to peep
into things they have no business with.
Do not go to some necromancer or
spiritualist or soothsayer or fortuno teller
to (ind out what is going to happen
to yourself or your family or your
friends. Wait till Christ breaks the
seal to (ind out whether in your own
personal life or the life of the nation or
lL. i:r? ?P ,1 1.1 !_ ! ? . . - I .1
liiu 111 u ui ilie wunu 11 1M going 10 DO lI1C
white horse of prosperity or the red
horse of war or the black horse of fain
inc. Yon will soon enough see him
paw and hear him neigh. Take care of
the present, and the future will take
care of itself. If a man live TO years,
his biography is in a scroll having at
least seven seals. And let him not
luring the first ten years of his life try
to look into the twenties, nor the twenties
intothe thirties, nor the thirties into
the forties, nor the forties into the
fifties, nor the fifties into the sixties,
nor the sixties intothe soventies. From
the way the years havo got the habit of
racing along I guess you will not have
to wait a great while before all the seals
of the future arc broken. 1 would not
zivo 2 cents to know how long I am going
to live or in what day of what year
the world is going to be demolished.
I would rather give $1,000 not to know.
Suppose some one eould break the next
seal in the scroll of your personal history
and should tell you that on the
next 4th of .July, 1001, you were to die,
the summer after next, how much
would you be good for between this and
that? It would from now until then
be a prolonged funeral. You would be
counting the months and the days, and
your family and friendswould no counting
them, and next 4th of .July you
would rub your hands together and
whine: "One year from today I am to
go, Dear me! I wish no one had
told mo so long before. I wish tli .it necromancer
had not broken the seal of
Lhc future." And meeting some undertaker,
you would say: "I hope you will
keep yourself free for an engagement
the 4th of July, 1901. That day you
will he needed at my house. To save
time yen might as well take my measure
now, f> feet 11 inches." I am glad
that Christ dropped a thick veil over the
hour of our demise and of the hour of
the world's destruction when he said:
"Of that day and hour knowcth no
man; no, not the angels, but my Father
only." Keep your hands oil the seven
seals.
There is another mighty seven of the
llible?namely, the seven thunders.
What those thunders meant we are not
told, and there has been much guessing
about them. Hut they are to come, we
are told, before the end of all things,
and the world cannot get along without
them. Thunder is the speech of lightning.
There arc evils in our world
which must be thundered down and
which will require at least seven volleys
to prostrate them. We are all doing
nice, delicate, soft handed work in
churches and reformatory institutions,
against the evils of the world, and
much of it amounts to a teaspoon dipping
out tho Atlantic ocean, or a clam
shell digging away at a mountain, or a
tank hammer smiting the Gibraltar.
What is needed is thunderbolts, and
at least seven of them. There is the
long line of fraudulent commercial
establishments, every stone in the
foundation and every brick in tho wall,
and every nail in the rafter made out
of dishonesty, skeletons of poorly paid
sewing girls' arms in every beam of that
establishment, human nerves worked
into every figure of that embroidery,
blood in the deep dye of that rcfulgont
upholstory, billions of dollrrs of accumulated
fraud intrenched in massive
storehouses and stock companies manipulated
by unscrupulous men, until the
monopoly is defiant of all earth and
heaven. How shall tho evil be overcome?
By treatises on the maxim,
"Honesty is the best policy?" Or by
soft repetition of tho golden rulo that
we must "Do unto others as wo would
havo them do to us?" No, it will not
KA rlAnn f l?nf ????? ~ ^

will come is the scvon thunders.
Thoro is drunkenness backed up by a
capital mightior tlian in any other business.
Intoxicating liquors enough in
this country to float a navy. Good
grain to the amount of 07,050,000 bushels
annually destroyed to make the
deadly liquid. Breweries, distilleries,
gin shops, rum palaces, liquor associations,
our nation spending Annually
$740,000,000 for rum, resulting in bankruptcy,
disease, pauperism, filth, assassination,
death, illimitable woe. What
will stop thom? High lioonso? No.
Prohibition laws? No. Churehos?
No. Moral suasion? No. Thunder
bolts will do it; nothing else will. Seven
thunders!
Yonder arc intrenched infidelity and
atheism, with their magazines of literature
seofling at our Christianity, their
Hoe printing presses busy day and
night. There are their blaspheming
apostlos, their drunken Tom I'aincs and
libcrtime Yoltaircs of the present as
well as the past, re cnforcod *by all the
powers of darkness, from highest doinon
to lowest imp. What will extirpate
thoso monsters of infidelity and atheism?
John Brown's shorter catechism
about "Who made you" or Westminster
catechism about "Whatis the chief
end of man?" No. Thunderbolts!
The seven thunders! For the itupurotics
of the world, ompalaecd as well as
cellared, opauleted as well as ragged,
enthroned as well as ditched; for corrupt
legislation which at times makes
our state and national capitals a hemispheric
stench; for superstitions that
keep whole nations in squalor century
after century, their juggernauts crush
ing, their knives lacerating, their waters
drowning, their funeral pyres burning,
the seven thcunders!
Oh, men and women, disheartened at
tho had way things often go, hear you
not a rumbling down the sky of heavy
artillery, coming in on our side, the
seven thunders of the Almighty? Do
not let us try to wield them ourselves.
They arc too heavy and too tiery for us
to handle, but God can and God will,
and when all mercy has failed and all
milder means arc exhausted, then
judgement will begin. Thunderbolts!
Depend upon it, that what is not dono
under the flash of the seven candlesticks
will be lone by the trampling of
tho seven thunders. Hut I leavo this
imperial and muliipotcnt numeral seven,
where the Hiblc leaves it, imbedded in
the finest wall that was ever built or
will be constructed, the wall of heaven.
It is the seven strata of precious stones
that make up that wall. After naming
six of the precious stones in that wall
tho Hiblc cries out, "The seventh
chrysolito is an exquisite green, and in
that seventh layer of the hoavenly wall
shall be preserved forever the dominant
color of the earth we onco inhabited.
I have sometimes been saddened at
the thought that this world, according
to science and revelation, is to be blotted
out of existence, for it is such a
beautiful world. Hut here in this
1 ?f lL. 1 |_ II .1
iujui ? i me nuiivuiiiy wan, wnure mc
numeral seven is to be imbedded, this
stratum of green is to bo photographed
and embalmed and perpetuated, the
color of the grass that covers the earth,
tho color of the foliage that fills the forost,
the color of the deep sea. One
glance at that green chrysolite, 1,01)0,000
years after this planet has been ex
tinguished, will bring to mind just how
it looked in summer and spring, and we
will say to those who were born bliijd
on earth and never saw at all in this
world after this they have obtained full
eyesight in heaven, "If you would know
bow the earth appeared in dune and
August, look at the seventh layer of
tho heavenly wall, the green of the
chrysolite."
And while we stand there and talk,
spirit with spirit, that old color of the
earth, which had more sway than all
the other colors put together, will
bring back to us our earthly experiences,
and, noticing that this green
chrysolite is the seventh layer of crystallized
magnificence, we may bethink
ourselves of the domination of that
numeral seven over all other numerals
and thank God that in the dark earth
we left behind us we so long enjoyed
the light of tho scvon golden candlesticks
and were all of us permitted to
shine among tho seven stars of more or
less magnitude, and that all the seven
seals of the mysterious future have
been broken wido open for us by a loving
Christ, and that the seven thunders,
having done their work, havo ceased
reverberation, and that the numeral
seven, which did such tremendous work
in the history of nations on earth, has
been given such a high place in that
Niagara of colors, the wall of heaven,
"the lisrt foundation of which is .Jasper;
the second, sapphire; the third, a
chalcedony; tho fourth, emerald; the
fifth, sardonyx; tho sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite."
