Dr. Talmage's Reasons For Be*4
lief in the Bible.
THE GOOD ACCOMPLISHED
In the World by the Scriptures
as an Evidence of Divine
Origin. An Answer to
Agnosticism.
In tho great conflict now raging in
- Europe as in this country between
Christianity and agnosticism l>r. Talii]age
has taken a decided stand and in
this sermon dcolaros his unwavering
bcliof in tho divino origin of tho Scriptures;
text, Matthew vii, 1(?, "Do men
gather grapes of thorns'/"
Not in this oouutry. Not in any
oountry. Thorns stick, thorns laocrato,
but all the thorns put together novcr
yielded one cluster of Catawba or Isabella
grapes. Christ, who was tho master
of apt and potont illustration, is
thus setting forth what you and I well
know, that you cannot get that which
is pleasant and healthful and good from
that which is bad. If you find round,
largo, beautiful cluster of grapes, you
know that it was produocd by a good
feMgUUiCvino and pnj Cr^wn ;l tangle of
^^^^^^r^Jnada thistle. Now, if I oal. show
\ >ou that this howly Miblc yields gooufruit,
healthful fruit, grand fruit,
you will come to the conclusion it is a
good Miblo, and all the arguments of
tho skeptic ngainst it when ho tries to
show it is a bad book will go overboard.
"Do men gather grapes of thorns?"
Can a bad book yield good results?
SkeptioBwith great vchomonoo doclaro
that tho liiblc is a cruel book. They
read tho story of tho extermination of
tho Canaanites and of all tho aneicut
warB and of tho history of David and
Joshua, aud thoy come to the oonclu
Bion that the Bible iBin favor of laceration
and manslaughter and massaorc.
Now, a bad book will oroduoo a bad rosult;
a oruel book will produoo a cruel
rosult.
You have friends who havo been in |
the habit of reading tho Bible a great
many years. Havo you notiood a tendency
to oruclty on their part? Have
you ever hoard any of thcui oorno out
and practioally say, "I have beon road
ing the story about tho extermination of
the Canaanities, and 1 am seized upon
with a disposition to out and slash aud
maul and pinoh and murder and knock
to picocs ovorything 1 oan lay my hands
on?" Havo your frionds in proportion
as they become diligent Biblo students
and disciples of the Christ of the Bible
shown a tendency toward massacre and
murder and manslaughter? Has that
been your observation?
What has been the effoot upon your
children of this oruel book? Or if you
?i 1 <v.~ 1 1. 1 1 * ?
uu uw uuuvv iiiu uuus iu du rcau in
your household, what has been tho offeot
upon tho ohildron of other households
where the word of God is honored'/
llavo thoy as a result of reading
this cruol book gono forth with a
cruel spirit to pull the wings off Hies
and to pinion grasshoppers and to rob
birds' nests? A cruel book ought to
mako oruol people. If they diligently
read it and got absorbed with its principles
that causo must produce that effect.
Again, inffdcls go on and most vehemently
chargo that this Liiblo is an impuro
book producos impuro rosults.
No amount of money could biro you to
allow your child to read an unolcan
book. Now, if this Biblo bo an impuro
book, whoroarc tho victims? Your
father read it?did it mako him a bad
/ man? Your mother read it?did it
mako her a bad woman? Your sister
If) years in hcavon died in tho faith of
this gospel?did it dospoil her nature?
Somo say there aro 200,000,000 copies
of tho Bible in existenco, somo say
thoroare 100,000,000 copies of tho Biblo.
It is impossible to got the aoourate
statistics, but supposo thcro aro
200,000,000 oopiosof tho Biblo abroad,
I this one book read moro than any 20
books that tho world overprinted, this
^ book abroad for agos, for ocnturics
B where aro the victims? Show me 1,000.

power that tho family institution is
most rospooted.
You must remember also that tho
authors of tho Bible oamc from difforIent
lands, from different ages and from
different centuries. They bad no communication
with each other; they did
rot have an idea as to what was tho
Bief design of the Bible, and yot their

Now, 1 might, as infidols havo failed
to prove that tho Uiblc is a cruel book,
that the Hiblo is an impure book, that
tho lliblc is a contradictory book, that
tho Hiblo is an unscientific book ? I
might iuovo nonsuit in this easo of Infidelity,
tho plaintiff, against Christianity,
tho defendant, but I will not
take advantage of tho oircumstanocs,
for when tho skeptio goes 011 to say
that we aro a gullible people, whon he
goos on to say, as ho often does, that
the groatcr tho improbability tho more
we like to bolicvo it when I10 goes on
to Bay that the llihlo is made up of a
lot of manuscripts, one picked up here
and another thcro and another from
some other place and that tho whole
tiling is an imposition on tho orcdulity
of the human race, I must reply to
that chargo.
The lliblo is mado up of tho Old Testament
and tho New Testament. Lot
us tako the Now Testament first. Why
do 1 believe it? Why do I tako it to
my heart? It is because it can bo
fr^cod back to tho divine heart just as
easily 2S that aisle eati bo traced to that

oing this line?
On communion day I will start tho
ohalico at that end of the aisle, and iiio
ohalico will pass along to tho other < nd
of tho aislo. Will it bo difficult to
traeo tho line of that holy ohalioc? No
difficulty at all. This one will say, 4,I
gavo it to that one," and this one will
say, "1 gavo it to that one." Hut it
will not be so long a lino as this to
traoo the Now Testament. It is ea.-ior
to get at tho fuot. Hut you say, "Although
this was handed right down in

cheerfully and triumphantly. They
were not ljing impostors. They died
in triumph for the truth of that New

"Well," says some one, "now 1 am
ready to believo that tho Now Testament
is from tho heart, of Christ, but
how about the Old Testament? Why
do you believo that?" I bcliovc tho
Old TcHtamont beoauso the prophesies

you hco ahead a hundred yoers? Can
you sco ahead livo minutes? No, no!
Human prophecy amounts to nothing.
Hero theso old prophets stood thousands
of years back, and they forotold
ovents which came accurately truo faton
in the future centuries. Suppose I
should stand here and Fay to you,
"Twonty live hundred and sixty years
from now, three miles and a half from

Hut that is what these old prfl
did.
Vou must remember that TyrH
Habylou and Nincvoh were iiH
pomp and splondor whon thoso |>H
oies, theso old prophoiios, saiifl \ :
would be destroyed. Thoso oitifl ^
architecture that make the hoiMd^fll
modern cities pcrfcotly insigniM" i.
Yot theso old prophets walkcdH^H
through thoso magnificent streetls and
said: "This has all got to ooine down.
This is all going to bo leveled."
Suppose a man should stand Up in
theso cities today and say, "Thcro
will bo hat vests of wheat add oorn
whero those cities now stand, add thoso
streets will be pasturo for cattle."
Such a man would bo sent ih the insano
asylum. Yet the prophets
did that very thing. WUcro is litby
Ion today? You go am^'walk over the
ruins of Habylon and you will not find
a leaf or a grass blado of thoso splondid
hanging gardons, and in the summor
timo tho ground aotually blisters tho
foot of the travclor. Habylon destroyed
acoordingto the prophocy.
Where is Tyro? In tho day of its
pomp tho prophet said, "Tho fishor
?:ii J il.! .. i ?
luuii win ury mcir uois wnero this oity
stands." If you should go to that
placo today, you would find that litoralally.
Tho fishermen aro drying their
nots on tho rooks where tho city of
Tyro onco stood. Tartar and Turk and
Saraoen drying their nets on tho rocks.
I Go up Chatham street, New York,
and find tho fulfillment of a prophooy
mado thousands of yoars ago. Why is
it the Israclito is always distinguishable,
whether you see him in Now York
or Peking or Vionna or Stookholm or
London or Paris? Tho Knglishman
goes to America and after awilo ho loses
his nationality. Tho Amcrioan goes
to Kngland and after awhilo ho loses
his nationality. Tho norwegian his,
tho Russian his, tho Italian his, the
Spaniard his, tho Israclitios never.
Why? Rccauso this book provided
thousands of yoars ago that tho Israo
lites should be scattered in all lands
and that they should bo kept separate,
separate, until tho Lord took thorn back
to Jerusalem. And yo who persecute
tho Israolitos had bettor look out. !

stood looking down in tho great futuro
and said a Messiah would bo born in a
oortaiu nation, in a oortain tribe, in a ,
family, in a oortain plaoe, at a certain
timo, thousands of yoars ahead. Agos
rolled on, ages on ages, and after awhilo

down in tho future and Hoeing thou- '

"Well," says hoiiio one, "now I am
ready to take tho Now Testament as
from tho heart of Christ, and 1 am !

to finish off a magnificent sentence ho t
quoted from tho fisherman of (ialilee,

one of his groat paragraphs of history,
ho quotod tho words of the fishormen of j
Galilee? Why is it that those uneducated

inspired, because God stood back of t
them. Thoy were not oduoatod and

New York Will Go for Bryan This

BO SAY A SCORE OF SIGNS.
Alfred Henry Lewis Also Says So,
and Gives His Reasons for
Believing It Is
True.
Alfred llonry Lowis, writing from
Mow York to tho Atlanta .Journal, pro- j
liots that Bryan will carry Now \ ork
icxt fall, Ho Hay? Bryan will insist
)n a dcmaml being mndo in the plat- |
form for frco silver at Hi to 1 in specific
orms, and that tho very words of tho
Jhioago doounicnt bo given place in
:ho coming platform, and ho thinks
Aryan's wishes will bo carried out.
liowis sayH:
I have made diligont search among
ill classes and sorts of business folk,
rom tho day laborer and artisan to tho
norohant, tho banker and tho slook
ipooulator of Wall street in his lair,
with tho one purposo of discovering
heir sentiment in that matter, and i
earn tho probable clfcot of a roitoraion
of silver at It! to 1 on the Now '
k'ork volflF iu November. To U nniim. I
y (rank, I <lo not beliovo, from all I
intoned to, that it will have any maliffeot
or indeed any effect at all. h'ilaneo
cannot, of courso, oven by wordriekstors,
bo called as Hancock called
arifr, "a local issue." There isnoquouion
of its general character. Hut incrost
in finance as a topic of polities
hifts with the region investigated. In
oino stalls it burns; in others it is dull
?nd dim. This latter is the condition
n Now York. Hryan's argument is at
null so far as this state is concerned,
'lie delegation was "instructed" to
oto for him at tho convention, and it
n blithe to obey that command, Hut
icithcr the "instruction" nor its chccrul
acceptance by delegates depended
r doponds on his silver poso. His
?'cw York endorsement was a coinpliacnt
to his matchloss gonius for lead
rship, and oarno to him bceauso of
is popularity with tho people, and for
hat tho party leaders hero bclicvo him
o bo, in general terms and for goncral
athcr than for specific reasons, oapablo
f polling tho most votos on eleotion
ay.
Interest in finanoo as a subjoot was
ever so warm nor so cogent in New
'ork as in tho west and south. It
rasn't in 180(5; it isn't now. There aro
wo sorts of original silver folk; tho
lan (west) who has silver to sell
nd aims to promoto a price, and
ho man (south) who, pinched for oirulating
medium, socks to expand tho
oluuio of monoy with freo silver,
lew York never had silver to sell, and
lways had money enough. Whon
lonny was soaroo in tho wost and south
ho Now York banks?and for that very
oasou?wcro stuffed with it. Whon
ho west was borrowing at 1 I per cent,
nd hor mino enterprises lagging
hrough ih<*.ow prion o! silvci'; when
ho south was paying 10 per oeut for
jans, Now York was borrowing money
t '> and 4 and at most f> per cent. Toay
it would employ the day and night
iligetioo of tho best business man to
cop $1,000,000 loaned on fair local sc
uritics at I per oont. I oito these
nets of a money condition, past and
resent, as tho reasons why Now York
as not warmed and docs not warm to
nance as a subject. Sho has ncvor i
ecu pricked by tho bayonot of a money i
r a silvor nocd. ?
In 18% the New York gold man was
ed faced with fear. Tho silver man, 1
r he who for his Demoeraoy should i
avo been galled so, was listless and
all of sluggishness. The gold man's
xoitemcnt did not rest bceauso of any
pprehension of local silver triumph,
"ho Now Y >rk gold man was afraid that
ho general, national silver sentiment
light avalanche itsolf upon him by
arrying tin rest of tho country. For
hut ho trembled four years and oonributod
his treasures to llanna and

roddon tho veins of tho Anti-MoKiniey
contingent. Theso last will voto for

itoH hato and fear tho prosont administration
to a dogrco not drcauicd of by
any normal Domocrat.
As I moved among tho McKinloy
malcontents with intont to discovor
their objections to MoKinlcy, when I
dug about tho roots of their obvious
hatred of tho administration, I discovered
sundry matters. Tho Uormaus,
Kronen, Austrians and Italians turn
from MoKinlcy beoauso of Militarism.
Thoy aro against an army, or an army
inoreasc, rather. Thoy look on it as
tho beginning of what will ond in that
system of compulsory cnlistmont in tho
army from whioh thoy tlod. Thousands
of native Amorioans, men of best
and purest American stock, and who
voted for MoKinlcy, aro now his most
aorid and determined foos, beoauso of
Imperialism. I found no end of thoso.
Thoy regard our prcsont antics in the
Orient as little less than treason to the
very spirit of American institutions as
founded by tho fathers.
Of all issues, so called, howevor, it
was plain that tho subjoot of trusts excited
widest concern. This was peculiarly
truce of young men of ambition
and force. ''Why," as one man said to
mo, "Trusts iu their last Icgitimato expression
shut the final door on anything
liko individual suoocss. Tho
host that a man can get out of it is to
work all his life for wagCH. It, tho trust
system, sentences him to bo a servant
all his days. No mat tor how good you
may become at whatever art or trade
you follow, you can never grow to bo an
omploycr never bo anything but one
of tho ouiployod. It is a killer to iudi\idual
independence, and puts shackles
on one's spirt of enterprise. It's the
feudal system restored; or tho padrono
peon system of Moxioo. Tho worst
featuro of the trust system as 1
look at it, is'nt the elevation of prices
of goods; the worst feature of trusts is
that they lower the standard of manhood."
As this man talked, so do nino of
ten of tho young inen of Now York,
not born to case and riehes, fool. They
aro against trusts, and thoy look on tho
Uopublioan party and MoKinlcy as the
promoters and champions of trusts. For
whioh roason, avoiding McKinloy, thoy
will voto for Bryan. My search for
facts, confirmed in twonty fashions,
that the Democracy and Bryan aro to
carry this stato. It is in tho air, and
will soon gain general advertisomont by
ooing in tho genoral mouth. Tho stato
taken as a wholo is no longer afraid of
silver nor any platform of it; tho stato
is afraid of trusts, militarism and imperialism.
Also, it is aroused ovor tho
frauds and venal iniquities whioh have
marched through tho prosont administration
too or heel, ono pressing on another
in a very lookstop of corruption.
'lo add to tho abovo, and in favor of
tho Democracy, is tho certainty of
IMatt's intonded treason to MoKinloy
which each sun makes rnoro plain. Tho
knife is a terrible woapon of politics in
nmUIno W V~_l.
.. maiu tine nun 1 Ullv. I lull
nan, if ho. will, drivo it to tho heart of
full *>0,000 votes which had clso lived
and voted lor MoKinlcy. And fear not
hut ho'll do it. ltevongo for tho senate
taking off of Quay; kih own safety in
tho future; ana his natural and jealous
resentment of tho apoplcctio Ilanna in
that chair of party control which ho
himsolf should fill, will set Piatt to tho
knifo this fall with as eager a heart, and
as warm a graoo as ever a Borgia wont
a poisoning with. This stato, silver in
or silver out of tho platform, will go for
Bryan in November, and so on every
hillptop of politics say a score of signs
and omens.
