0 ' IT SHOULD RUIET An Especially Timely Discourse By Rev. Dr. Talmage. THE MAN FAITHFUL TO GOD Is the Most Faithful to His Country and to His Fellow Men An Example From the Life of Daniel. This disoourso of l>r, Talmage i> ap propriato for all aoaeons, but especially in thoso timoa of great political agita lion. Tho text is, Daniol vi, 1G, "Then tho king commanded, and they brought Dauiol and oast him into tho don of lions." Darius wan king of Babylon, and tho young man Daniol wan so muoh a favor ito with him that ho mado him prirno minister, or secretary of stato. But no man oould ga in e>uoh a high position without oxoiting the onvy and joalousy of tho pocplo. Thero woro domagoguos in Babylon who wore so apprcoiaiivo of tioir own abilities that they woro af fronted at tho elevation of this young man. Old Babylon was afraid of joung Babylon. Tho taller tho oodar tho moro apt it is to bo rivon of tho lightning. Diungogucs asked tho king to make a dcorco that anybody that mado a petition to aay ono exoopt tho king during a period of 30 days should bo put to death. King Darius, not suspeoting any foul play, makes that do orco. Tho demagogues havo accomplished all they wunt, beoauso they know that no one can keep Daniel from sending in t t o ,a Loforo (J.wl fnr :ttt (lays. So far from being afraid, Daniel goes on with his supplications throo litnoH a day and is found on In housetop mak ing prayer. Ho is caught in the aot. Ho is eoudemnod to bo dovourcd by tho lions. Hough executioners of the law soizc him and hasten him to tho oavorn. 1 hear tho growl of tho wild boasts, and 1 soo them pawing tho dust, and as they put their mouthH to tho ground tho solid earth quakes with their hollowing. I soo their oyos roll, and I almost hoar tho fiory eyeballs snap in tho darkness. These monsters approach Daniel. They have an appotito koon with huagor. With ono etroko of their paw or ono snatch of their tooth they may Icavo him dead at tho bottom of tho oavorn Hut what a strango woloomo Daniol rocoivos from thoso hungry monstorsl They fawn around him; thoy liok his hand; they bury hia foot in their long manes. That night ho has oalm sloop with his hoad pillowod on tho warm ncoks of the tallica lions. But Dot so woll docs Darius, the ting, bleep. Ho has an attaok of terrific insomnia. He loves Daniel and hates this stratagem by wliioh ho has bocn ocndomncd. All night long tho king walks tho floor. Ho oannot sleep. A tho loast sound ho starts, and his tlosh oroops with horror. Ho is iuip&tiont for tho dawning of tho uioruing. At tho tirst stroak of tho daylight Darius hastonB forth to sco thofato of Daniel. The hoavy pdaoi doors open and olang shut long beforo tho peoplo of the oity wakon. Darius goes to tho den of tho lions. Ho looks in. All is silent. His heart stops. Ho fools that tho vory woist has happoned; but, gathering all his strength, ho shouts through the rook, "O Daniol, is thy God whom thou sorvest continually able to dolivor thee?" There ooines rolling up from tho doop darkness a voioo whioh says: *'0 king, live forever. My God has sent his angel to shut tho lions' mouths that they havo not hurt mo." Than Daniol ih brought out from tho don. Tho demagogues aro hurled into it, and no sooner have they struck tho bottom of tho don than thoir flesh wan root, and their bonca oraoked, and thoir blood Bpurtcd through tho riftH of tho rook, and as tho liona, mako tho rooka tremblo with thoir roar they aunouooo to all ages that whilo God will defend hia poopio tho way of tho ungodly shall perish. Learn first from this subjoot that tho groatost crime that you oommit in the oyes of many is tho crimo of suooess. What had Daniol dono that ho should be flung to tho lions? Ho had beoomo primo minister. They oould not forgive him for that, and bohold in that a touch of unsanotified human naturo as scon in all ages of tho world. So long as you aro pinohed in provorty, so long as you aro running tho gantlot betffeon landlord and taxgathcrjr, so long as you find it hard work to eduoato your ohildron, thoro aro people who will say: "Poor man, 1 am sorry for him. He ought to suooood, poor man." But after awhilo tho tido turns in his favor. That was a profitable investmont you 1 _ V.? V L. -X .i_ ujbuu. iuu uuuj^uv jutu ai mc llgni time. Fortune beoomos good humored and emiles upon you. Now you aro in tome department successful, and your buooobs chills some ono. Those mon who used to eympathizo with you stand along tho streot, and thoy soowl at you from under tho rim of their hats. You have moro money or moro influonoo than they have, and you ought to bo soowled at from under tho rim of their hats. You oatoh a word or two as you pasBbythem. "Stuck up." sayB ono. "Got it diflhonoBtly," bays anothor. "Will burst soon," says a third. Every Btone in your now houso is laid on their hearts. YourhorBOB' hoofs wont ovor thoir nerves. Every item of your success has been to thorn an itom of disoomfituro and despair. Just aB soon as in any rospoot you rise above your fellows, if you aro moro virtuous, if you ate more wise if you aro moro intluontial, you oast a shadow on tho prospoots of others. The road to honor and suooess is within reaoh of the onemy's guns. Jealousy says. "Stay down or I'll knook you down." "I do not like you," says tho snowflake to tho snowbird. "Why don't you like me?" said tho snowbird. "Oh," said tho snowflako, "you aro going up and I am ooming down." Young merchants, young lawyers, young doctors, young meohanios, young artists, young farmers, at oertain times there are thoso to symprthico with you, but now that you aro becoming a master of your particular oooupation or profession, bow is it now, young lawyers, you 94 doctors, young artists, young farmers?how is it now?

When tho gravo cranks open under thoir feet, and gran messengers push them in into it, and otcroity ooracB down hard upon their spirit, and oonsoicnoo atingH, and hopoloss ruin lifts up to hurl them down, will thoy laugh then? 1 learn also from mysubj >ot that men may tako religion into their worldly business. This is a most appropriate thought at thhscas >n of the year, when so many mon aro starting out in now enterprises Daniel had enough work to do to oooupy six mon. All tho affairs of stato wcro in bis bands; questionsof linanoo, questions of war, of poaoo; all international questions wire for Ins settlement or adjuitmont. lie must have had a correspondence vast boyotid all oomputation. Thoro was not a man in all tho earth who had more to do than Daniol, soorotary of state, and jot wo find him three times a day bowing boforo God in prayer. Thore are men in our day who iiayo not a bun drodtb part of Daniel's engagements who say they aro too busy to bo rclig ious. Thoy have an idea som ihow that rcligon will spoil thoir worldly oooupa lion, that it will trip tho accountant's pen or dull tho carpenter's saw or oonI use tho lawyer's brief or disarrange tho moichaui'b storo shelf. Thoy thiuk roligion is i nperiinont. They would like to have it very well seated bosido them in ohuroh on tho Sabbath, to tind tho plaoo in tho psalmbook or to nudgo them awako when they got slocpy under tho didaotio disoourso, or thoy would like to leave it in the pew on Sabbath ovoning as t hey go out, closing tho door, saying, "Good night, religion; I'll bo baok next Sunday!" Hut to havo religion go light along by thorn all through lifo, to liavo roiigion looking over thoir shouldor when thoy aro making a bar gain, to havo roiigion take up a hag of dishonest gold and shako it and say, "Whoro did you get thai!" Thoy think that is an impruneot roiigion. Tliey would liko to havo a religion to help them when they aro siok, and when the shadow of death oomrs over tlicui, thoy would liko to havo religion aH a sort of nightkey with which to open tho door of lioavon. but roliuinn 11 n f v*itv?vji uvnui V31I" oumstauooB thoy tako to bo impcrtinoQoo. Now, my friends, roligion novor robbed a man of a dollar. Oilier things being e<iual, a mason will build a bettor wall, a cabinet maker will uiako a bolter ohair, a plumber will make a bot tor pipo, a lawyer will make a better ploa, a merchant will sell a better bill of goods, i say, other things boing equal. Of oourso whon roligion givos a man a now heart, it docs not proposo to givo him a now lioad or to intelleotualizo him or to change a m*n's condition whon his ordinary stato is an overthrow of tho philosophical thoory that a total vaouum is impossible, but tho moro letters you liavo towrito, tho moro burdens you havo to carry, tho more milos you havo to travol, tho inoro burdons you havo to lift, tho moro engagements you havo to moot, tho moro disputes you havo to sottlo, tho moro opportunity you havo of being a Christian. If you havo a thousand irons in tho liro, you havo a thousand moro opportunitios .1 / ^ ~ J - I n ui bui viiik v/uu man 11 you only had onn iron in the firo. Whoso busy as Christ? And yot who a millionth part as holy? Tho busiest in on tho bost men. All tho pcraonB oonvcrtcd insoripturo busy atthotimoof thoir boiug oonvortod. Matthew attending to his custom houao duties; tho prodigal son foeding swino, Lydia soiling purple; Simon l'otor hauling in tho net from tho boa; Saul spurring his horso toward Damascus, going down on his law business, Busy, busy! Daniol with all tho affairs of stato ! woighing down upon his boul, and yot throo times a day worshiping tho God of hoavon. Again I learn from this subjoot that a man may tako roligion into his politics. Daniel had all tho affairs of stato on hand, yot a servant of God. ilo oonld not havo kept his olovatcd position unloss ho had boon a thorough * 1 ponuoian, ana yet all tho thrusts of officials and all tho dangor of disgraoo did not tuako him yiold ono iota of his high toned religious prinoiplo. He stood boforo that age, a spcoimon of a godly politioian. 80 thero havo beon in our day and in tho days of our fathers men aB eminont in tho sorvioo of God as they havo been eminent in the sorvioo of sta*o. Suoh was liio Jamin F. Butlor, attornoy general of New York fta tho timo of yourfathors. 8uoh was John MoLoan of tho supremo oourt of the Doited Statos. Suoh war Qeorge Briggs of Massaohusetts. Suol was Theodo^ Frelinghuysen of Near Jersey?moo faithful to the stato, at tho satuo time fx thful to God It is absurd to cxooot that men who have boo imorscd in politioal wiokoduoss for 3<) or 4 years shall oouio to reformation, and our hope is iu tho young uu'D wh ? are coming up, that thoy have patriotic prmoiplo and Christian principle tide by Bide whou they oomo to tho ba?lot box and ca-?t thoir first voto and thai thoy nvear allogianoo to tho govoriiflQ<>ut of heaven as woll as tho government of tho IJoitod Stales.

Daniel stood on a most unpopular platform. Ho stood firmly, though tho demagogues of the day hissed at him and tried to ovorthrow hitn. Wo must carry our religion into our politic i. Hut there arc a groat many uieu who are in favor of taking roiigion into national politics who do not soo tho importance of taking it into oitv politics as though ainan wero iutolligent about tho wolfarc of his neighborhood and had no ono iru about his o .vn homo My sutjoot also impresses 1110 with tho tact that lions cannot hurt a good "man. No man ever got into worso company than Daniol got into when ho was thiown into tho don. What a rare morsol that fair young man would have been for tho hungry monsters! If they In I plungod at him, ho could not have o imbod into a nitoho beyond tho reach of ihoir paw or the anal oil of thoir to >th Thoy oaiuo, pleased, all about.

With his nostril ho scattered the ashos on tho duinostio hearth. You havo had trial after trial, uiisfortuno aftor misfortune, lion aftor lion, and yet they havo never hurt you if you put your trust iu God, and thoy novor will hurt you. Thoy did not hurt Daniel, and thoy cannot hurt you I Tho l'ersians used to think that raiu falling into scasholls would turn into | poarls, and I havo to tell you that tho tears of sorrow turn into prooious goms when they drop into God's bottle.

NO COMPLiMENT TO McKINLEYSome VeiybTruthful Words from the Atlanta Journal Although triumphant, President Mo Kinloy uiust oorno out of tho lato con test with a Badly battered self rospeot. A more insulting support novor helped to put a man into oilioo Men who voted for M. Kinloy bcoauso thov distrusted Bryan's mouoy policy mado it as hu miliating for him as they oould. They oamo out in statoments in tho nowspapors apologising profusoly for voting for him at all and excusing it only on tho grouud that ho represented what they rogarded as dosirahlo polioy. Tho intellect and oharaolor of tho Kopuhlioan party lookod upon tho president with contempt and th*y wro not polito enough to conceal it. The disgust with his shilly-shallying policy was frooly expressed in tho newspapors and in tho utterances of somo of tho most distinguished mon of his party.

MrHarrison gavo a roluotant and bolatcd support to MoKinley and Senator lloar supported him on tho opon undoratand ing: "You aro wrong but I am with you bcoauso you aro a Kopublioan." Somo Democrats who disagreed with Mr. Bryan went over to MoKinloy, in every caao porfaoing their declarations by especially disclaiming personal approval of MoKinloy and expressing supremo distasto tyr thoir onforood voto.
