A 9 STRANGE INFLUENCES | _ I We Are Often Affected by Forces ! We Seldom Recognize. 1 Dr. TnJniKgf RnlnrKfi Vpon IliniiuJ avcouu(kIiI)II)' It* 1Mb Soniioti? kotu* Grout Surprlici of tlio >t>?* World. [Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch, N Y.] Washington, Oct. 27. In this discourse Dr. Talmage dem? onstrates that we are affected by forces that wo seldom recognize ntni enlarges upon human accountability; the text is Job 38:31: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of l'leindes?" What is the meaning of that question that God put to Job? llavu we ell out lives been reading it uud are most of us ignorant of its boauty and power and practical suggesliveness? A meaningless passage of Scripture many thought it to bo. Rut the telescopes wero busy ago after age and astronomical observations kept on questioning the eklcs until the meaning of n>y text cornea out lustrously. The Ploiudes i-s a constelLation of woven stars appearing to the naked eye, but sclentitlo instruments reveal more than 400 properly belonging *to tho group. Alcyone in tfe *j name of the brightest star of that gi/bup oallod the Pleiades. A Russian ritrauomcr observed that Alcyone is -^he csutor of gravitation of our solar system. Hugh Macmlllnn says that the sun and its planets wheel around J that center at tho rato of 422,000 miles a day in an orbit which it will take 19,OQO,?00 years to complete. The Pleiades appear in the springtime and nro associated with flowers and genial warmth and good weather. The navigation of the Mediterranean was from May to November?tho rising and the setting of the Pleiades. The priests of Belus notieed that rising end set' tiny 8,000 years before Christ. Now, the glorions meaning of my text Is plain as well as radiant. To fir* Job the beautiful grace of humility God asked him: "Canst thou bind the sweet Influences of the Pleiades?" llavo you any power over tho laws of gravitation? Can you modify or change an influence wielded by a star mors than 400,000 milos away? Can you oontrol the winds of the springtime? Can you call out tho flowers? ilow little you know compared with omniscience! Ilow little you van do oomyarod with Omnlpoieatel The probalvillty is that Job hnd been tempted to urrognnco by his vast attainments, tie was a metallurgist, a soologUt, a poet, and shows by his writings be had knowledge of huntlag, of music, of husbandry, of medicine, of mining, of astronomy, and perhaps was so far ahead of tho scholars and scientists of his time that be way have been somewhat f puffed up; hence this interrogation of lj my text. And there is nothing that \ , so soon takes down human pride us KB Interrogation point rightly thrust. \ I Christ used it mightily, Paul mounted the parapet of ills great arguments with such a battery. Men of the world understand it. Demoathones began bis speech on the crown and Cicero bis oration against Catilina -ad'A-fird Chatham his most famous ll|M, ^vioua with a question. Tho empire 4 Ignorance is so much vaster than the empire of knowledge that after 111 ft m f> tt 1 l*irnwt an#j ala Vv/x^a A I - qui si lion upon any subject of soelolfcgy or theology the plainest nmn may mIi a questioa that will make the wlaeat speechless. After the profouude?st assault upon Christianity the humblest disciple may inuku an Inquiry that would aileuoe a Voltaire. Called upon, as we oil arc ut times, to defend our holy religion, instead of argument that can always be answered by argument let us try the power of interrogation. We ought to be loaded with at least hnlf u do<can questions and always ready, and when Christianity is assailed and we are told there is nothing in it, and there la no Clod, and there never was a miracle, and that the Scriptures are unreasonable und cruel, aud that there soever will be a Judgment day, take out of ycnir portable armory of Interrogation something like this: What makes the condition of women hi Christian lands better than in heathou lands? I)o you think it would be kind in God to turn the human raoo iato a world without any written revelation to explain and encourage aad elevate and save? And if a revelation was xnade, whioh do you prefer, the Zenda-Vcsta of the Persian or the Confucian writings of the Chinese or the Koran of Mohammed or our Bible? If Christ is not a Divine being, what did He lueau when He said: "Before Abram waa I am?' Xf the Bible is a bad book, where are the evil results of reading it? Did you see auy degrading influence of the beok in your father or mother or aister, who used to read it? Do yen sot think that a Judgment day la neeeesary in order to explain and flu up things Hint were never explained or fixed up? If our religion is -M * ?" nnu an lmposiuon vipon h vine* credulity, why \v*r? Hersohel nnd Weahiwgton and Gladstone and William MoKlnley its advocates? How did it happen that our religion fur iehed the thpme for the greatest poem ever written, "Paradise Lost," aad to the painters their greatest themes in the "Adoration of the Magi," "The Transfiguration," "The Uet fiuppor," "The Crucifixion, "The Entombment," "The Last Judgment," and that all the schools of painting pat forth thsir utmost genius in presenting "The Madonna?" Why wm it that William flhalreepeare, after amazing the world ae he will amaae all centuries with the aplender and power of "The Merchant of Venice," and "Corlolanus," Murdered from Ambush. J. W. MoDonald and his wife, Hunan, were shot fiom ambush from the bank of the Bratos river. Texas, ooar the Galls o6unty line ana both woro killed. They were fishing and woro near their tent when some ono fired upon them. MoDonald was about hp yards from the tent when ho was shot twice in the head. The wifo was 100 yards away nnd the shot was evidently very o!o?o, for the woman's clothing took fire rnd her body was burned to a orisp. The r murderer wm evidently after mon?y, fot^it^was known that McDonald had >n? -Klohard in," and "King Mid "Othello," ar.d "Macbeth," and "llamlet," wroto with his own hand his last will and testament, beginningIt with the words: "In tho liamo of 15od, nirirn, I, William Shakespeare, of Strut ford-on-A von, in tho county of Warwick, in perfect health and memory, (Jod bo praised, do make and ordain this my last will nrul testament through the only merits of Jesus Christ, iny Saviour, to be made partaker of life everlasting and my body to the earth whereof it is madeV" Had Shakespeare lost his reason when ho nroto his faith in Christ and the great atonement? Put your antagonist n few questions like that, and you will find him excusing himself for an engagement he must meet immediately or he Will start on n retreat like that which our northern troops mnde for yonder Long bridge after the battle of Manassas. A discourso on (lod's omnipotence and man's limitations would not have had such an etVrot upon Job as the interrogation of tho text: "Canst thou bind tho Bwoet influence of the Pleiades?" These words nlso recognize farreaching Influences. Job probably hod no ndequnto idea of tho distance of tho worlds mentioned from our world, but he know them to be far ofT, and we, who have the advantage of modern sidereal investigation, ought to be still more impressed thuu was Job with the question of the text, ns if puts before us the fnet that worlds hundreds of thousands of inllcs distant have n grip on our world. There aro sweet influences which hold us from afar. There may have been iu our ancestral line perhaps 200 years ago some consecrated man or woman who has held over nil the generations siuce an influence for good which w? have no power to realize, aud vre is turn, by our virtue or vico, may influence those who shall livo 200 years from now. Moral gravitation is as powerful as material gravitation, and if, as my text teaches and science confirms, the Pleiades, which are millions of miles from our earth, influence the onrth wo ought to bo impressed with how we may be influenced by others far awny buck and how we may influence others far down the future. That rill away up among tho Alleghanlca, so thin you think it will hardly find its way down the rocks, becomes the mighty Ohio rolling into the Mississippi and rolling into the en. That word you utter, that deed you do, may augment itself as the years go by until rivers cense to roll and the ocean itself shall l>e dried up in the burning of the world. Paul, who was nil tho time saying important things, said nothing more tortlingly suggestive than when he declared: "None of us liveth or dieth to himself." Words, thoughts, notions, have an eternity of flight. As Job could not hind the sweet influences of the Sevan Sturs, as they were called, so wo cannot arrest or turn aside the good projected long ago. Those influences were started centuries before our cradle was rocked and will reign centuries after our graves are dug. Oh, it is u tremendous tiling to live! (Jod help us to live aright. Astronomers can easily locato the Pleiades. They will take you luto their observatories on a clear night and aim their revealing instrument taward the part in t be lies vena where those seven stars have their habitude, and they will point to the count ellatlon Taurus, and you can see for yournelf. Tint It, la impossible to point to influences far back thnt. 1. /M ? - 1 -\ nine micruni vur uimraaicr ar.ti wm affect our destiny. We know the Influences near by?paternal, maternal, conjugal?but by the time wo have pone back two generations or at uoit three our Investigations falter and fail. Through the modern interesting habit of searching back to find the ancestral tree wo may find a long list of names, but they are only names. The consecration ' or abandonment of some one 200 years ago was not recorded. It would not be so Important if you nod I by our good or bud behavior blessed or blasted only those immediately around us,- but our goodness or our badness will roach as far as the strongest rays of Alcj'one ? yea, across the eternities. Under thjs consideration what do you think of those who givo themselves up to frivolity or idleness and throw away BO'years of thrlr existence as though they were shells or pebbles or pods Instead of embryo eternities? Notlco also in my text the influence of other worlds upon this world. We all regard the effect which our continent has upon other continents or one hemisphere upo>i the other hemisphere. Great harvest or drought affects the other side of our world. A panic in Wall street, New York, has its echo in bombard street and the bourse. Tho nations of the earth cablegramined together ull feel tho eaine thrill of delight or shock of woe. But wo do not appreciate the influence of other worlds upon our world. The author of my text rouses us lo tha consideration. It takes all the worlds ?f known and unknown as tronomy to keep our world In its orbit, every world dependent on other worlds. The stellar existence is felt nil through the heavens. Every constellation is a sisterhood. Our planet feels the benediction of Alcyone and *11 the other stars of the Pleiades. Yea, there are two other worlds that decide the fate of our world, its redemption or its demolition. Those two worlds are the headquarters of angelology and dcmonology. From the ?ne world c?nie Christ, come ministering spirits, come ull gracious influences. From the other world rice all sutanlo aud diabolic influences. From that world of moral right rose the power that wrecked our poor world 6,000 years ago, and all the good work douo since then has not Brooklyn Hit Most. Admiral Sohloy oompletcd his ox amination in ohiof Mondty morning, aud was then crjss examined by Judgo Advooato Lcmloy. This oovtred, in a groat pert, tho testimony already given by tho admiral. In epcakiDgof tho bits on tho Spanish squadron Admiral Schley said: "J ho record of liits received Dy the enemy showed that 36 per ocnt scored by tho Amcrioan fhot oamo from the guns oa the Brooklyn. The Brooklyn received thirty cf tho forty two hita from tho Spanish fleet, or about 70 por Iarng store wnoro imy?i<u*uij wvi? ?u>>. moned immediately, bat it was too late ?- > . I II- - - -- been able to get our world out of tb? breakers. Hut tIt signals of distress hnvs beso hoisted ond the life lioes are out, and our world's release is certain. Tho good influences of the consecrated people in our world will be crsntuplvd by the help from tho heavenly world, and tho Divine power will overcome the demoniac. O man, (J woman, cxpaud your idea nud know the magnitude of n contest In which three worlds uro specially interested. From nil tho seven worlds which my text culls tho Pleiades there come no such powerful influences ns from tho two worlds thut 1 am now mentioning. My only hope for tills world Is iu the rceuforcement that 1b to como from unother world. Hut that is promised, nnd so 1 feel ns sure of the ru till cation of ull evil ns though looking out of my window to-dny 1 saw the purks uud tho gardens flowering into another paradise and tho apocalyptic ang61 flying through tho inidst of Heaven with tho news that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord. My text called Job and nails us to consider "the sweet Influences." Wo put too much crnphuKi* upon tho acidities of life, upon tho Irritations of life, upon tho disappointments of life. Ami.litmus Mnrcellinus said that Chaldea was in olden tiuicB overrun with lions, but many of them lost their power becuuso the grent swamps produced many goats that would get into tho eyes of the lions, and the lions to free themselves of the gnnts would claw their own eyes out aud then Btnrre. And in our time many u lion has been overcome by a gnat. The little stinging annoyances of lifs keep us from appreciating tho swe?t influeneea. Ana how many of these last there arel Kvreet influence* of homo, however pluin it msy bcl That is the harbor into wbloh we sell. Thut is the gonl for which we run. That is the place where we rest. There abide all confidence and afTeetiona. Tliere we lay our plans. There wo extend our sympathies. There we talk over our successes. There we unload our griefs. Ita four walls ahut out a prying nnd inquisitive world. Thank God for the home In which we were born, the homo in which we now live, the homo in which wc expect to diel Net sufficiently do wo recognise the sweet influences of the wife. We men are of a rougher mold, and our Toice is loud, and our manners need to be tamed, and gentleness la not ns much of a characteristic as it ought to be, and we often say things we ought to take back. It La to change this that tho {rood wife cornea in. The interests of the twain are identical. That which from outsidara would he considered criticism and to be resented becomes kindly suggestion, sweet Influences that znake us better men than we ot^ erwlae would hare been ?r could harsh been. J The sweet influcuoes of the hc.a?venty world, which many wise men thought for a long while was Aloyoue, the oouter of the constellation of the Pleiades, world of our future residence, n? wc hope; world of chorus and Illumination, world of reunion, world where we shall be everlastiugly complete, world where our old faonltiee will be intensified and quickened and new faculties implanted, world of high association with Christ, through whose grace we got thero at all, and apostlow and poets?Hahakkuk and St. John, of Patmoa, and Edward Young, his "Night Thoughts" turned into eteru/al day; and Horatius Bonar, of modern bymnology; and Hannah More, and Mrs. Ilemana and Mrs. Sigourney, who struck their harps till nations listened; and Da*id, the victor ov?r Goliath with what seemed insufficient weapons; and Joshua, of the prolonged day in Glbeou; and Haveiocls*. the evangelist hero, and those thousands of men of the sword who/fought cn the right aide. What company to move in. What guests to entertain! What personages to visit! What choirs to chant! What banquets with lifted chalices filled with "the new wine of the kingdom!*' What victories to ceiebratcl The stories of that world and its holy hilarities come in upon our soul sometimes In song, somotimos in sermon, sometimes in hours of solitary reflection, and they aro, to use the words of my text, sweet Influences. Hut there is one star that affects us more with its sweet Influence than the center star, the Aioyone of the Pleiades, and that is what one Bible author calls the Star of Jacob and another Bible author culls the Morning Stfir/Sweet influences of the Holy Ghost, with all His transforming and comfort in g and cum nelpa ting power 1 When that power is fullv felt, there will h* no more sins to pardon and no more yvrobg* to correct and no more sorrows to comfort and no more bondage to break. But as the old-time ship captains watched the rising of the Pleiades for safe navigation and set sail in Me-'diterranoan water*, but were sure to get back Into port before the oonstollntlon Orion came int* sight, the season of cyclone and htirricsne,sot here la a time te fail for He area, and that is while the dWeet in. fineness are upon us and before the storms overtake the delay. Open all your soul to the light and warmth and comfort and inspiration of .that Gospel which.ha* already ppoplefS Heaven with millions of the ransomed and is liolplpg millions to that glorip.us destination. Do not postpone th* thlfljg* of God and eternity till the etprms pf life avjroQp and the agitations of great future are upon us. Do npt dare wait until Orion takes the place of the Pleiades.
