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.

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

world 6,000 years ago, and all the

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

hope for tills world Is iu the rceuforcement
that 1b to como from unother
world. Hut that is promised,

paradise and tho apocalyptic ang61

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.
